Crime and Commerce: A Study of Urban Crime and Criminal Activity in Chicago
Creators: name: Villar, Nicolas
Publisher: name: University of Chicago
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: urban vibrancy
subject: crime rates

description: New urbanist theories of neighborhood safety suggest that urban vibrancy, or the amount of pedestrian activity in an area, may be an important deterrent of crime. This study attempts to examine the relationship between vibrancy and crime rates through the use of business and crime data for the City of Chicago between the years 2014 and 2018. Using business licenses as a proxy for urban vibrancy, I develop time and place fixed effects models to examine the relationship between business licenses and crime throughout the city’s census tracts. The findings generally indicate that more business licenses are negatively associated with higher crime rates, a conclusion which falls in line with the new urbanist hypothesis. However, business heterogeneity and the dynamic nature of urban vibrancy limit the degree to which theoretical conclusions can be drawn from the empirical analysis. Further research is needed to find new ways of measuring vibrancy and expand our understanding of the neighborhood and environmental dynamics of urban crime.

description: The non-backtracking operator was recently shown to provide a significant improvement when used for spectral clustering of sparse networks. In this paper we analyze its spectral density on large random sparse graphs using a mapping to the correlation functions of a certain interacting quantum disordered system on the graph. On sparse, tree-like graphs, this can be solved efficiently by the cavity method and a belief propagation algorithm. We show that there exists a paramagnetic phase, leading to zero spectral density, that is stable outside a circle of radius $\sqrtρ$, where $ρ$ is the leading eigenvalue of the non-backtracking operator. We observe a second-order phase transition at the edge of this circle, between a zero and a non-zero spectral density. That fact that this phase transition is absent in the spectral density of other matrices commonly used for spectral clustering provides a physical justification of the performances of the non-backtracking operator in spectral clustering.

description: Social interactions create connections between people, developing networks of support essential for individuals and groups. The formation of collectives like local communities rely on social interactions to foster friendships, networks of support, and build a larger sense of community. Considering the importance of socialization in the construction of communities: where do these quintessential interactions unfold in the physical environment? Looking at the scale of a neighborhood, this paper will explore Chicago’s Little Village, and the physical manifestation of community in the built environment. In other words, where does the local community gather to build connections to people and place? Through detailed in-person observation and interviews with local residents, this research will unveil how community is created in this Chicago neighborhood, both in specific locations and in a broader sense. This paper is organized to present background information, followed by analysis, and concludes with a reflection on the prevalence of Latinidad for Little Village community members. First, I frame the research in the context of Latino Urbanism and urban design. Then I present the history and present state of the Little Village neighborhood as an immigrant neighborhood and Mexican American enclave in Chicago. Next, I highlight how locals have created a sense of place aesthetically along with how locals experience community in these spaces. Finally, I conclude by emphasizing the role of latino heritage in creating a sense of community in Little Village. The research concludes La Villita Park is the primary location that creates a sense of community in Chicago’s Little Village.

description: Psychedelics including lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) and psilocybin temporarily alter subjective experience through their neurochemical effects. Serotonin 2a (5-HT2a) receptor agonism by these compounds is associated with more diverse (entropic) brain activity. We postulate that this increase in entropy may arise in part from a flattening of the brain's control energy landscape, which can be observed using network control theory to quantify the energy required to transition between recurrent brain states. Using brain states derived from existing functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) datasets, we show that LSD and psilocybin reduce control energy required for brain state transitions compared to placebo. Furthermore, across individuals, reduction in control energy correlates with more frequent state transitions and increased entropy of brain state dynamics. Through network control analysis that incorporates the spatial distribution of 5-HT2a receptors (obtained from publicly available positron emission tomography (PET) data under non-drug conditions), we demonstrate an association between the 5-HT2a receptor and reduced control energy. Our findings provide evidence that 5-HT2a receptor agonist compounds allow for more facile state transitions and more temporally diverse brain activity. More broadly, we demonstrate that receptor-informed network control theory can model the impact of neuropharmacological manipulation on brain activity dynamics.

description: We discuss the Klein-Gordon (KG) equation using a 5D space-time approach. We explicitly show that the KG equation in flat space-time admits a consistent probabilistic interpretation with positively defined probability density. However, the probabilistic interpretation is not covariant. In the non-relativistic limit, the formalism reduces naturally to that of the Schrödinger equation. We further discuss other interpretations of the KG equation (and their non-relativistic limits) resulting from the 5D space-time picture. Finally, we apply our results to the problem of hydrogenic spectra and calculate the canonical sum of the hydrogenic atom.

description: In the present study, we focus on the parity of the order parameters and clarify the order formation process in a system including two order parameters. Each order parameter shows each different parity under a gauge transformation, namely even and odd order parameters. For example, in a spin-glass model, the even order parameter corresponds to the spin-glass order parameter while the odd one corresponds to the magnetization. We introduce phenomenologically a set of Langevin equations to express the ordering process under a white Gaussian noise. Using two kinds of Fokker-Planck equations, we analyze the order formation process and the entropy production. Furthermore, we show the noise dependence of the onset time.

description: Segmentation of a text-document into lines, words and characters, which is considered to be the crucial pre-processing stage in Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is traditionally carried out on uncompressed documents, although most of the documents in real life are available in compressed form, for the reasons such as transmission and storage efficiency. However, this implies that the compressed image should be decompressed, which indents additional computing resources. This limitation has motivated us to take up research in document image analysis using compressed documents. In this paper, we think in a new way to carry out segmentation at line, word and character level in run-length compressed printed-text-documents. We extract the horizontal projection profile curve from the compressed file and using the local minima points perform line segmentation. However, tracing vertical information which leads to tracking words-characters in a run-length compressed file is not very straight forward. Therefore, we propose a novel technique for carrying out simultaneous word and character segmentation by popping out column runs from each row in an intelligent sequence. The proposed algorithms have been validated with 1101 text-lines, 1409 words and 7582 characters from a data-set of 35 noise and skew free compressed documents of Bengali, Kannada and English Scripts.

description: Predicting labels of nodes in a network, such as community memberships or demographic variables, is an important problem with applications in social and biological networks. A recently-discovered phase transition puts fundamental limits on the accuracy of these predictions if we have access only to the network topology. However, if we know the correct labels of some fraction $α$ of the nodes, we can do better. We study the phase diagram of this "semisupervised" learning problem for networks generated by the stochastic block model. We use the cavity method and the associated belief propagation algorithm to study what accuracy can be achieved as a function of $α$. For $k = 2$ groups, we find that the detectability transition disappears for any $α> 0$, in agreement with previous work. For larger $k$ where a hard but detectable regime exists, we find that the easy/hard transition (the point at which efficient algorithms can do better than chance) becomes a line of transitions where the accuracy jumps discontinuously at a critical value of $α$. This line ends in a critical point with a second-order transition, beyond which the accuracy is a continuous function of $α$. We demonstrate qualitatively similar transitions in two real-world networks.

description: We investigate theoretically the Josephson junction of semiconductor nanowire with strong spin-orbit (SO) interaction in the presence of magnetic field. By using a tight-binding model, the energy levels $E_n$ of Andreev bound states are numerically calculated as a function of phase difference $φ$ between two superconductors in the case of short junctions. The DC Josephson current is evaluated from the Andreev levels. In the absence of SO interaction, a $0$-$π$ transition due to the magnetic field is clearly observed. In the presence of SO interaction, the coexistence of SO interaction and Zeeman effect results in $E_n (-φ) \ne E_n (φ)$, where the anomalous Josephson current flows even at $φ=0$. In addition, the direction-dependence of critical current is observed, in accordance with experimental results.

description: Time-sharing Experiments for the Social Sciences (TESS) offers researchers the opportunity to capture the internal validity of experiments. Investigators submit proposals, and TESS fields successful proposals for free on a representative sample of adults in the United States. This experiment was conducted to test how interpretations of the word ‘politics’ affect interest in politics. Respondents were randomly assigned to one of five variations of the standard political interest measure. Control group was asked the standard, “How interested are you in politics?” Treatments varied by conflict (politics as laws and policies vs. politics as debate over laws and policies) and goals (laws and policies to address problems facing the country vs. no goal indicated). A total of 2,009 respondents participated. Prior to treatment, respondents were asked to answer two conflict avoidance measures. This allowed for comparison of self-reported interest in politics across groups and within group effects of conflict avoidance traits.
Exploring Local Health Departments' Readiness for Cross-Sector Collaboration and Community Engagement for Systems Change

description: Many national public health frameworks (e.g., the Foundational Public Health Services, the 10 Essential Public Health Services, etc.) call for public health to engage communities and collaborate across sectors for equitable population health solutions that require systems change. Cross-sector collaboration and community engagement garner more diverse perspectives and deeper understanding of the root causes of these complex adaptive challenges. Moreover, these collaborative approaches can build and leverage the collective capacity and power to effect change at various levels of the system. However, there is a gap in practitioners’ skills and perceived opportunities to learn how to facilitate the systems change required to do this collaborative work (Welter et al., 2020). To bridge this gap, the goal of this action research study was to explore how local health departments can prepare to do cross-sector collaboration and community engagement for systems change work. Study findings confirm that building readiness for this work is a function of complex and interconnected barriers and facilitators related to collaboration, workforce, funding, context/structure, and collective learning.

Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)

description: We investigate the structure of the steady-state force-free magnetosphere around a Kerr black hole in various astrophysical settings. The solution Psi(r,theta) depends on the distributions of the magnetic field line angular velocity omega(Psi) and the poloidal electric current I(Psi). These are obtained self-consistently as eigenfunctions that allow the solution to smoothly cross the two singular surfaces of the problem, the Inner Light Surface (ILS) inside the ergosphere, and the Outer Light Surface (OLS), which is the generalization of the pulsar light cylinder. Magnetic field configurations that cross both singular surfaces (e.g. monopole, paraboloidal) are uniquely determined. Configurations that cross only one light surface e.g. the artificial case of a rotating black hole embedded in a vertical magnetic field) are degenerate. We show that, similarly to pulsars, black hole magnetospheres naturally develop an electric current sheet that potentially plays a very important role in the dissipation of black hole rotational energy and in the emission of high-energy radiation.

description: We study an opinion formation model by the means of a co-evolving complex network where the vertices represent the individuals, characterised by their evolving opinions, and the edges represent the interactions among them. The network adapts to the spreading of opinions in two ways: not only connected agents interact and eventually change their thinking but an agent may also rewire one of its links to a neighborhood holding the same opinion as his. The dynamics depends on an external parameter Φ, which controls the plasticity of the network. We show how the information entropy associated to the distribution of group sizes, allows to locate the phase transition between full consensus and a society where different opinions coexist. We also determine the minimum size of the most informative sampling. At the transition the distribution of the sizes of groups holding the same opinion is scale free.

description: The digital transformations revolutionizing so many aspects of contemporary culture are also dramatically changing government services. Designers have an important role to play in these shifts. A wide range of government services— from applying for birth certifications to voting and paying taxes; from immigration applications to citizenship and permitting processes—are becoming available in digital formats. This extension of government services from traditional countertop services to digital access means that governments are hiring designers to build these online applications and platforms. This redesign of services, when including human-centric research methods, enables citizens to have a say in the government decision-making process (Stewart, Dubow, Hofman Stolk, 2016), and has resulted in exciting design opportunities as well as significant challenges. In this thesis, I elaborate on the practice of service design in a government context, from micro and macro perspectives, using three case studies. In the first case study, I will give an example of how governments are transitioning to redesign specific public services using Agile principles. Agile describes how prototyping and development teams experiment with different possibilities in short “agile” periods of time, allowing real end users to contribute their insights. Using rapid prototyping methods such as Agile helps provide simple and useful ways for citizens to find, use, and contribute to the design of government services. This first case study will describe agile practice in the rapid prototyping lab at Ontario Digital Service (ODS), an organization under a provincial government ministry. In the second case study, I will describe how governments practice service design from a broader perspective. This example comes from my work with Public Digital Innovation Space (PDIS), an organization under Taiwan Open Government. PDIS contributes to facilitating public collaboration with citizens and the government under a mandate from the Taiwanese ministry called Open Government. In this case study, the service design organization is tasked with encouraging citizens and other stakeholders to participate in the government decision- making process and social discussions. In the context of my Master’s research, it was important to investigate ethical issues in bringing neo-liberal rapid prototyping methods to government service design (Kimbell Bailey, 2017). The final case study outlines a workshop I held with fellow design students to investigate one ethical issue in design; power dynamics within multidisciplinary teams. I had realized that there was a lack of discussion around design ethics in the public sector.

description: The microstructure and rheological properties of suspensions of neutrally buoyant hard spherical particles in Newtonian fluid under conditions of finite inertia are studied using the lattice-Boltzmann method (LBM), which is based on a discrete Boltzmann model for the fluid and Newtonian dynamics for the particles. The suspensions are subjected to simple-shear flow and the properties are studied as a function of Reynolds number and volume fraction, $ϕ$. The inertia is characterized by the particle-scale shear flow Reynolds number $Re = \frac{ρ\dotγa^{2}}μ$, where $a$ is the particle radius, $\dotγ$ is the shear rate and $ρ$ and $μ$ are the density and viscosity of the fluid, respectively. The influences of inertia and of the volume fraction are studied for $0.005\leqslant Re \leqslant 5$ and $0.1\leqslant ϕ\leqslant 0.35$. The flow-induced microstructure is studied using the pair distribution function $g(\boldsymbol{r})$. Different stress mechanisms, including those due to surface tractions (stresslet), acceleration, and the Reynolds stress due to velocity fluctuations are computed and their influence on the first and second normal stress differences, the particle pressure and the viscosity of the suspensions are detailed. The probability density functions of particle force and torque are also presented.

description: A plant seed germination technique was used to assess the phytotoxicity of spent pig litter-sludge at different stages of composting in forced-aerated piles on the relative seed germination, relative root elongation, and germination index (GI, a factor of relative seed germination and relative root elongation) of Chinese cabbage (Brassica parachinensis) and Chinese spinach (Amaranthus espinosus). The relative seed germination and root elongation of the two plants were significantly retarded by the spent litter-sludge extracts at day 0, but their values incresased as composting progressed. From day 49 onwards, their values were similar to that of the control (deionized water) (between 80 and 100%). Increases in both relative seed germination and root elongation of the two plants corresponded with decreases in the concentrations of NH4+-N, water-extractable Cu and Zn of the compost demonstrating that these chemical compounds were gradually eliminated during composting. The multiple regression analyses showed that the NH4+-N and water-extractable Cu concentrations in the spent litter-sludge extracts were the most important chemical factors causing the phytotoxicity. Composting at the top of the forced-aerated pile was slower than the middle, bottom and surface of the pile during the first 49 days of composting. However, from day 49 onwards, there was no difference among the four locations of the spent litter-sludge pile in terms of both plant responses and chemical parameters. These suggest that the spatial variations in the forced-aerated piles, in terms of phytotoxicity, gradually disappeared as the spent litter-sludge became mature.

description: The onset of the acceleration of ions during magnetic reconnection is explored via particle-in-cell simulations in the limit of a strong ambient guide field that self-consistently and simultaneously follow the motions of protons and $α$ particles. Heating parallel to the local magnetic field during reconnection with a guide field is strongly reduced compared with the reconnection of anti-parallel magnetic fields. The dominant heating of thermal ions during guide field reconnection results from pickup behavior of ions during their entry into reconnection exhausts and dominantly produces heating perpendicular rather than parallel to the local magnetic field. Pickup behavior requires that the ion transit time across the exhaust boundary (with a transverse scale of the order of the ion sound Larmor radius) be short compared with the ion cyclotron period. This translates into a threshold in the strength of reconnecting magnetic field that favors the heating of ions with high mass-to-charge. A simulation with a broad initial current layer produces a reconnecting system in which the amplitude of the reconnecting magnetic field just upstream of the dissipation region increases with time as reconnection proceeds. The sharp onset of perpendicular heating when the pickup threshold is crossed is documented. A comparison of the time variation of the parallel and perpendicular ion heating with that predicted based on the strength of the reconnecting field establishes the scaling of ion heating with ambient parameters both below and above the pickup threshold. The relevance to observations of ion heating in the solar corona is discussed.

description: The observational signatures of multi-field inflation will generally evolve as the Universe reheats. We introduce a general analytic formalism for tracking this evolution through perturbative reheating, applicable to two field models with arbitrary separable potentials. The various transitions, including the onset of scalar field oscillations and the reheating of each field, can happen in different orders and on arbitrary hypersurfaces. The effective equations of state of the oscillating fields are also arbitrary. Nevertheless, our results are surprisingly simple. Our formalism encapsulates and generalises a huge range of previous calculations including two-field inflation, spectator models, the inhomogeneous end of inflation scenario and numerous generalised curvaton scenarios.

description: The realization that Planck-scale physics can be tested with existing technology through the search for spacetime-symmetry violation brought about the development of a comprehensive framework, known as the gravitational Standard-Model Extension (SME), for studying deviations from exact Lorentz and CPT symmetry in nature. The development of this framework and its motivation led to an explosion of new tests of Lorentz symmetry over the past decade and to considerable theoretical interest in the subject. This work reviews the key concepts associated with Lorentz and CPT symmetry, the structure of the SME framework, and some recent experimental and theoretical results.

description: The changes in microbial properties, including total aerobic heterotrophs, O2-consumption rate, ATP content, dehydrogenase activity and microbial biomass C and N of the spent pig-manure sawdust litter were examined during further composting. The effects of three moisture levels, 50% (pile A), 60% (pile B) and 70% (pile C), on the composting process were also evaluated. Piles A and B had very similar trends of change in temperatures and microbial properties during the composting period but pile C was significantly different. Temperatures in the first two piles increased to a peak of 64-69°C by day 4, while that of pile C rose to a lower peak (58°C) on day 7. The high moisture content (about 70%) of pile C led to early cooling of the pile and decreased the production of microbial activity and biomass. Although water was added frequently to maintain the moisture content of each pile, it was difficult in practice to maintain the moisture level for further composting of the spent litter. In general, the total aerobic heterotrophs, O2 consumption rate and ATP content of all piles increased dramatically during the thermophilic stage of composting, but then decreased slowly and were maintained at lower levels at the end of the composting process. Stability of microbial properties was observed at day 60, indicating that two months is enough to convert spent litter to a mature compost. Temperature was found to be correlated with ATP content, dehydrogenase activity and oxygen consumption rate, and so these parameters could be used to indicate microbial activity and degradation of the spent pig-manure sawdust litter.

Assessing toxicity of spent pig litter using a seed germination technique

description: The phytotoxicity of spent litter collected from pig pens employing the '[pig-on-litter' system at various times was evaluated using seed germination and root elongation techniques. The percentage seed germination of four plant species (lettuce, Chinese cabbage, tomato and green beans) was not affected by the water extracts of spent litter samples collected in the first 30 weeks of production. Seed germination was significantly retarded by litter extracts from 34 weeks onwards. The percentages of seed germination at the end of the 45 weeks study were 1% for lettuce, 16% for cabbage, 21% for tomato, and 44% for green beans. Compared with seed germination, root elongation was more sensitive to the toxicity of the spent litter. The root lengths of all seedlings except green beans were less than 50% of the control (deionized water) throughout the experiment. The inhibitory effects of spent litter on root elongation increased with the age of the litter. The final root lengths of lettuce, Chinese cabbage and tomato seedlings were 14%, 24% and 28% of the control, respectively. Green beans behaved very differently from the other species; spent litter extracts stimulated root growth throughout the study, except the last week. The elevated concentrations of heavy metals (in particular extractable Cu) and nutrients (especially NH4+N) present in spent litter were the main factors responsible for the phytotocicty of the spent litter. The aged spent litter had accumulated more salts, nutrients and heavy metals and imposed more toxic effects on seed germination than did the young spent litter. © 1994.

description: Reversible logic is gaining interest of many researchers due to its low power dissipating characteristic. In this paper we proposed a new approach for designing online testable reversible circuits. The resultant testable reversible circuit can detect any single bit error whiles it is operating. Appropriate theorems and lemmas are presented to clarify the proposed design. The experimental results show that our design approach is superior in terms of number of number of gates, garbage outputs and quantum cost.
