title: Our Reliance on Family for Housing Support Won’t last Forever
Creators: name: Sirr, Lorcan
Publisher: name: Technological University Dublin
Year: 2016

description: History is more important than geography in explaining our relationship with housing. We have a funny relationship with housing in Ireland, one that goes beyond the usual explanation of our land and property obsession being a post-colonial hang-up. Given our location at the northwest edge of Europe, it would be logical to assume Ireland would have a similar approach to housing as Germany, France and the Netherlands. We are different from our regional neighbours, however, and more like our distant cousins in Malta, Italy, Spain, Portugal and Greece.

Xia Ji'an's Critical Bridge to Modernism in Taiwan
Creators: Lupke Christopher
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2000

Literature of the 1950s in Taiwan was decidedly ideological in nature and dominated by mainland Chinese emigres to the island whose work tended to focus on their previous experiences in mainland China as narrated through the lens of the Cold War. The decade saw a surfeit of long novels that I term "historical romanticism," loosely structured and often rambling. Beginning in the late 1950s, the Taiwan University-based critic and scholar TA Hsia (Pinyin: Xia Ji'an), grew impatient with this trend and in the journal Wenxue Zazhi, which he founded, spoke out against this style and advocated for more tightly constructed works that were free of ideology. In a pivotal article, Xia applied a thorough, imminent critique to a novel entitled Setting Moon by one of the most prominent authors of the time, Peng Ge. In this article, Xia both critiqued Peng Ge's novel and put forth some principles for how fiction should be written. Thus, it stands as one of the most important manifestos for Modernist literature in Taiwan going forward and wielded great impact on the next generation of authors, which included Bai Xianyong, Chen Ruoxi, Chen Yingzhen, Huang Chunming, Wang Wenxing, and Wang Zhenhe.

Subjects: subject: General Topology (math.GN)

description: The study of weak domains and quasicontinuous domains leads to the consideration of two types generalizations of domains. In the current paper, we define the weak way-below relation between two nonempty subsets of a poset and quasiexact posets. We prove some connections among quasiexact posets, quasicontinuous domains and weak domains. Furthermore, we introduce the weak way-below finitely determined topology and study its links to Scott topology and the weak way-below topology first considered by Mushburn. It is also proved that a dcpo is a domain if it is quasiexact and moderately meet continuous with the weak way-below relation weakly increasing.

description: In this paper, we establish that complete Kac-Moody groups over finite fields are abstractly simple. The proof makes an essential use of Mathieu-Rousseau's construction of complete Kac-Moody groups over fields. This construction has the advantage that both real and imaginary root spaces of the Lie algebra lift to root subgroups over arbitrary fields. A key point in our proof is the fact, of independent interest, that both real and imaginary root subgroups are contracted by conjugation of positive powers of suitable Weyl group elements.

title:  Main Contractor Selection on Construction Projects When Adapting an Integrated Project Delivery Procurement Strategy Within an Irish Context.
Creators: name: McDonnell, Fiacra
Publisher: name: Technological University Dublin
Year: 2016

description: The Irish construction industry has experienced turbulent years over the last decade from an economic viewpoint. The industry has tended to be conservative in nature and slow to embrace change. However international influences have exposed Irish construction professionals to new more efficient systems and technologies, which although slow to take hold have started to gain traction within certain sectors of the industry. This study has focussed on the innovative procurement route known as Integrated Project Delivery (IPD), and its facilitator; Building Information Modelling (BIM). The overall aim of this study was to investigate whether Integrated Project Delivery was a viable procurement route for construction work within the Irish construction industry. The chosen research strategy for conducting this research was qualitative in nature utilising a phenomenological approach. Semi structured interviews were deemed to be the most suitable platform for data collection, and this data was organised into solid themes for further analysis. .The participants to the study comprised of eight expert commentators from the Irish construction industry who occupied senior positions in their respective companies. An extensive literature was completed on both Irish and international literature dealing with this area. The research question was answered based on the data gathered during the research process, supplemented by findings in the literature review. The overall conclusion based on the data gathered during this research was that IPD was a viable procurement route for construction work within the Irish construction industry, on condition that the Irish government would make policy decisions conducive to creating a collaborative environment of trust. This policy changes must deal with procurement regulations, contractual arrangements and promotion of IPD within the industry itself Keywords; Integrated Project Delivery, Building Information Modelling, Procurement

That is, we deal with mathematical objects that are assumed to be given approximately. More precisely, given a tolerance $ε>0$ and a rational parametrization $\cal P$ with perturbed float coefficients of a plane curve $\cal C$, we present an algorithm that computes a parametrization $\cal Q$ of a new plane curve $\cal D$ such that ${\cal Q}$ is an {\it $ε$--proper reparametrization} of $\cal D$. In addition, the error bound is carefully discussed and we present a formula that measures the "closeness" between the input curve $\cal C$ and the output curve $\cal D$.

Year: 2017

description: The Irish Government has requested that Enterprise Ireland, an organisation responsible for the development and growth of Irish enterprises in world markets to actively promote the use of BIM in Ireland. This promotion has taken the form of an opportunity for Enterprise Ireland clients to apply for a grant under their BIM Enable and BIM Implementation schemes and also through their funding of the BIM Innovation Capability Programme (BICP) of Ireland. The BICP is a two-year project (2016-2018) which seeks to capture the capability of the Irish Construction Industry and the Higher Education Institutes to respond to the increased requirement for BIM in Ireland. One of the primary responsibilities of the BICP research team is to collate data to assist the Irish National BIM Council (NBC) in the formulation of a National BIM Roadmap. To achieve this a global and local BIM study was undertaken in 2016. This involved extensive desk-top based research exploring the value proposition behind what governments and professional bodies are doing to advance BIM in their respective countries. The research identified a number of common themes or pillars that Ireland will need to further address before a roadmap is formally disseminated. After exploration of these pillars, within an Irish context, it was found that despite a lack of standards and contractual frameworks, it has not prevented the industry from deploying BIM on Irish projects

description: The next step for intelligent dialog agents is to escape their role as silent bystanders and become proactive. Well-defined proactive behavior may improve human-machine cooperation, as the agent takes a more active role during interaction and takes off responsibility from the user. However, proactivity is a double-edged sword because poorly executed pre-emptive actions may have a devastating effect not only on the task outcome but also on the relationship with the user. For designing adequate proactive dialog strategies, we propose a novel approach including both social as well as task-relevant features in the dialog. Here, the primary goal is to optimize proactive behavior so that it is task-oriented - this implies high task success and efficiency - while also being socially effective by fostering user trust. Including both aspects in the reward function for training a proactive dialog agent using reinforcement learning showed the benefit of our approach for more successful human-machine cooperation.

description: Let $n$ be a positive integer and let $C_n$ be the cycle indicator of the symmetric group $S_n$. Carlitz proved that if $p$ is a prime, and if $r$ is a non negative integer, then we have the congruence $C_{r+np}\equiv (X_1^p-X_p)^nC_r \mod{pZ_p[X_1,\cdots,X_{r+np}]},$ where $Z_p$ is the ring of $p$-adic integers. We prove that for $p\neq 2$, the preceding congruence holds modulo $npZ_p[X_1,\cdots,X_{r+np}]$. This allows us to prove a Junod's conjecture for Meixner polynomials.

title: Evaluating the AfDB “High 5’s”: Bifocal Lenses Assessment via Citizen Participation
Creators: name: Seriki, Oluwasegun O.
Publisher: name: Technological University Dublin
Year: 2016

description: The thought of evaluating the AfDB high 5’s is tempting. It is, in fact, a herculean task and cannot just be achieved using a blanket approach or be dismissed with the common approach “…difficult is done at once; the impossible takes a little longer”. In reality, evaluating these high priority areas will involve much rigour and will involve finding that one area that is lacking but can improve on with a single change of lenses, consequently improving circumstances drastically. The high 5’s garner much attention in headlines, much is said about it, talks, seminars, and — who knows — maybe even an evaluation week. When was the last time a member of the African community, an ordinary citizen -the perceived recipients of these “high 5’s”- tasked with the responsibility of evaluating these five top priority areas? When again have the members of the African populace been actively engaged not only the evaluation but the continued implementation of these focus areas? The task of transforming the African continent, which is the aim of the high 5’s, is not mutually exclusive but rather inclusive, requiring extensive collaboration and participation, with huge benefits for all stakeholders. There is no room for isolation, for either implementers or evaluators. Drawing on the proceedings from the recent Annual Development Effectiveness Review 2016 by the AfDB, it is evident that the review has an undertone of a one-sided analysis by experts. This paper, however, will articulate a different argument. It operates on the premise that no eyeglasses have one lens, they usually have two. The current evaluation method may fit something of the format of a multinational CSR review or progress report, lacking the pluralistic approach that challenges conventional assessment models and provides insights into the truths about society view the activities of the AfDB high 5’s. This paper examines how utilising bifocal evaluation mechanisms will challenge these big ideas: is it worth it allowing citizens participate in the assessment process? Moreover, it suggests that the future of evaluation of the “high five” does not only lie with the AfDB, but perhaps the answer lies in the acknowledgement of the fallibility of unidirectional appraisals. Two heads are better than one.

Spin contribution to the inverse Faraday effect of non-magnetic metals

Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)

description: We formulate the spin contribution to the inverse Faraday effect of non-magnetic metals. We deal with the role of the inversion symmetry, which forces all electronic bands to be at least twice degenerate at every point in the Brillouin zone. We show both analytically and numerically that our formulation of the inverse Faraday effect is invariant under unitary rotation within the doubly degenerate set of bands. In addition, we show the importance of resonance-like features in the band structure for the inverse Faraday effect. Our first-principles computed spin component of the inverse Faraday effect in a simple metal such as Au is reminiscent of its optical absorption, with a characteristic d-s resonance in the optical spectrum.

Partial frames, their free frames and their congruence frames
Creators: name: Schauerte, Anneliese
name: Frith, John
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: General Topology (math.GN)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: The context of this work is that of partial frames; these are meet-semilattices where not all subsets need have joins. A selection function, S, specifies, for all meet-semilattices, certain subsets under consideration, which we call the ``designated'' ones; an S-frame then must have joins of (at least) all such subsets and binary meet must distribute over these. A small collection of axioms suffices to specify our selection functions; these axioms are sufficiently general to include as examples of partial frames, bounded distributive lattices, sigma-frames, kappa-frames and frames. We consider right and left adjoints of S-frame maps, as a prelude to the introduction of closed and open maps. Then we look at what might be an appropriate notion of Booleanness for partial frames. The obvious candidate is the condition that every element be complemented; this concept is indeed of interest, but we pose three further conditions which, in the frame setting, are all equivalent to it. However, in the context of partial frames, the four conditions are distinct. In investigating these, we make essential use of the free frame over a partial frame and the congruence frame of a partial frame. We compare congruences of a partial frame, technically called S-congruences, with the frame congruences of its free frame. We provide a natural transformation for the situation and also consider right adjoints of the frame maps in question. We characterize the case where the two congruence frames are isomorphic and provide examples which illuminate the possible different behaviour of the two. We conclude with a characterization of closedness and openness for the embedding of a partial frame into its free fame, and into its congruence frame.
Updating constraints on phantom crossing $f(T)$ gravity

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics (astro-ph.CO)

description: We establish constraints on $f(T)$ gravity by considering the possibility of a scenario that supports a phantom crossing of the equation of state parameter $ω_{DE}$. After determining the viable parameter space of the model, while checking the impact on the background dynamics, we perform an analysis to obtain constraints on cosmological parameters and determine the viability of this scenario. To this end, we use combined data sets from cosmic chronometers (CC), baryonic acoustic oscillations (BAO), redshift space distortion (RSD) and Type Ia supernovae (SN) measurements from the latest Pantheon$+$ set, in which the impact on the absolute magnitude due to the change of the effective gravitational constant is also considered. It is found that a state where a phantom crossing of $ω_{DE}$ happens is favored by data, and the $f(T)$ model is competitive with the $Λ$CDM one by statistical criteria, such as AIC and BIC. Additionally, we find evidence of the Hubble tension being alleviated within the $f(T)$ model, at the same time that it does not worsen the growth one, indicating a possibility of the present scenario as an option to address the current cosmic tensions.

Nursing compliance with standard fall prevention protocol among acute care hospital nurses

Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2010

description: The purpose of the study was to determine the level of nursing compliance in
implementing Fall Prevention Protocol (FPP) in an acute care hospital in a high fall risk
patient population and to identify the barriers in complying. This study is important
because falls are considered one of the nursing-sensitive quality indicators. The AACN
Synergy model for patient care was used as the organizing framework for this study. A
total of 24 nurses participated in the study, and a total of 29 high fall risk patients were
assessed. The degree of compliance among nursing staff was measured using the
modified Scripps Mercy Hospital Rounding Tool (Rounding Tool) for patients identified
at high risk for falls. The modified Scripps Mercy Hospital Fall Prevention Intervention
Questionnaire (Barriers Tool) was used to determine the nurses perceived barriers
(Gutierrez and Smith, 2008). High-to-moderate compliance was noted. High patient turn
over and proximity of patient assignments were the frequently cited barriers with hourly
rounding cited as the most valued intervention to prevent falls.

description: The concept of resilience embodies the quest towards the ability to sustain shocks, to suffer from these shocks as little as possible, for the shortest time possible, and to recover with the full functionalities that existed before the perturbation. We propose an operation definition of resilience, seeing it as a measure of stress that is complementary to the risk measures. Emphasis is put on the distinction between stressors (the forces acting on the system) and stress (the internal reaction of the system to the stressors). This allows us to elaborate a classification of stress measures and of the possible responses to stressors. We emphasize the need for characterizing the goals of a given system, from which the process of resilience build-up can be defined. Distinguishing between exogenous versus endogenous sources of stress allows one to define the corresponding appropriate responses. The main ingredients towards resilience include (1) the need for continuous multi-variable measurement and diagnosis of endogenous instabilities, (2) diversification and heterogeneity, (3) decoupling, (4) incentives and motivations, and (5) last but not least the (obvious) role of individual strengths. Propositions for individual training towards resilience are articulated. The concept of "crisis flight simulators" is introduced to address the intrinsic human cognitive biases underlying the logic of failures and the illusion of control. We also introduce the "time-at-risk" framework, whose goal is to provide continuous predictive updates on possible scenarios and their probabilistic weights, so that a culture of preparedness and adaptation be promoted. These concepts are presented towards building up personal resilience, resilient societies and resilient financial systems.

The Geant4 toolkit was originally developed by the high energy physics community to simulate the interactions of elementary particles within complex detector systems. Here its capabilities are utilized to model molecular vacuum transport in geometries where other techniques are impractical. The techniques are verified with an application representing a simple vacuum geometry that has been studied previously both analytically and by basic Monte Carlo simulation. We discuss the use of an application with a very complicated geometry, that of the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope camera cryostat, to determine probabilities of transport of contaminant molecules to optical surfaces where control of contamination is crucial.

Petrogenesis of the Greenwater Range: Comparison to the Crater Flat volcanic field and implications for hazard assessment
Creators: name: Ashley Kaye Tibbetts
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2010

description: Pliocene basalts of the Greenwater Range, California erupted from 24 volcanic
vents now represented by volcanic plugs, craters and scoria mounds. Basaltic magmas
originated in the asthenospheric mantle, but show evidence of a lithospheric component.
Depths and temperatures of melting calculated using a silica activity geobarometer are
54.389.6 km and 1367-1435oC, placing melting in the asthenosphere. The preferred
petrogenetic model involves melting of lithospheric mantle thermally and mechanically,
but not chemically, converted to asthenospheric mantle. Melting depths correspond to
low velocity zones in the mantle as revealed in seismic profiles. Chemical and lithologic
similarities between basalt in the Greenwater Range and basalt in Crater Flat, Nevada
near the proposed nuclear waste repository at Yucca Mountain suggest that both are part
of the same volcanic field. These factors result in an increase in the area and number of
vents used to calculate volcanic hazard and accordingly an increased risk to the proposed
repository.

description: In this study Nevada Cancer Institutes Wiegand Sun Safety Program was
implemented in 14 clinics in Southern Nevada as a pilot run to increase
awareness in children and their guardians through educational materials
in pediatricians and family physicians offices. It was hypothesized that
the increased display of information regarding sun safety and skin
cancer in physicians offices would increase patient and guardian
awareness of the subject and increase the likelihood of patients and/or
guardians asking their physician questions about skin cancer and sun
safety, resulting in an increase in preventive actions by guardians to
protect their children from damaging rays of the sun. Clinics were
randomly divided into an experimental and control group, receiving
varying amounts of sun safety information. The clinics were given
comparative assessments to evaluate the effectiveness of the program, as
was measured by the number of topic-specific questions asked of them
by patients and guardians.

Second, the Kleene star is a derived concept, as it can be decomposed into more primitive algebraic blocks.

description: An approach to control tethered wings for airborne wind energy is proposed. A fixed length of the lines is considered, and the aim of the control system is to obtain figure-eight crosswind trajectories. The proposed technique is based on the notion of the wing's "velocity angle" and, in contrast with most existing approaches, it does not require a measurement of the wind speed or of the effective wind at the wing's location. Moreover, the proposed approach features few parameters, whose effects on the system's behavior are very intuitive, hence simplifying tuning procedures. A simplified model of the steering dynamics of the wing is derived from first-principle laws, compared with experimental data and used for the control design. The control algorithm is divided into a low-level loop for the velocity angle and a high-level guidance strategy to achieve the desired flight patterns. The robustness of the inner loop is verified analytically, and the overall control system is tested experimentally on a small-scale prototype, with varying wind conditions and using different wings.

It is proved that the family of CF-closed sets in a CF-approximation space endowed with set-inclusion order is a continuous domain and that every continuous domain is isomorphic to the family of CF-closed sets of some CF-approximation space endowed with set-inclusion order. The concept of CF-approximable relations is introduced using a categorical approach, which later facilitates the proof that the category of CF-approximation spaces and CF-approximable relations is equivalent to that of continuous domains and Scott continuous maps.

Factors influencing attitudes towards prostitution
Creators: name: Brian Robert Brehman
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2010

description: The purpose of this study was to examine the factors that influence attitudes towards prostitution. Students from University of Nevada, Las Vegas and University of British Columbia (N=591) were compared based on their responses to the Attitudes Towards Prostitution (ATP) Scale and by demographic differences. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) identified significant differences in ethnicity, religiosity, and certain sexual experiences. Regression analysis revealed location of students and religiosity were significant predictors of attitudes.

description: We investigate a dynamically generated Mott gap from holographic fermions in asymptotically geometries with hyperscaling violation by employing a bulk dipole coupling for the fermion field. We find that when the coupling strength increases the spectral function first transfers to the negative frequency region but soon redistributes to the positive region. A stable gap and two bands emerges for all momentum when the coupling strength beyonds a critical value. Generally, The upper band on the positive frequency axis is much sharper than the lower band on the negative side. When the diploe coupling increases further, the gap becomes larger and the up band still keeps sharp while the lower band disperses and widens, concentrating on the small momentum region. We also find that the bands will be smoothed out gradually with the increasing of hyperscaling violation.

description: LaTe$_3$ is a noncentrosymmetric (NC) material with time reversal (TR) symmetry in which the charge density wave (CDW) is hosted by the Te bilayers. Here, we show that LaTe$_3$ hosts a Kramers nodal line (KNL), a twofold degenerate nodal line that connects the TR invariant momenta in NC achiral systems, using angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES), density functional theory (DFT), effective band structure (EBS) calculated by band unfolding, and symmetry arguments. DFT incorporating spin-orbit coupling (SOC) reveals that the KNL -- protected by the TR and lattice symmetries -- imposes gapless crossings between the bilayer-split CDW-induced shadow bands and the main bands. In excellent agreement with the EBS, ARPES data corroborate the presence of the KNL and show that the crossings traverse the Fermi level. Furthermore, spinless nodal lines - entirely gapped out by the SOC - are formed by the linear crossings of the shadow and main bands with a high Fermi velocity.

description: We study the phenomenon of cosmological particle production of Dirac fermions in a Friedman-Robertson-Walker spacetime, focusing on a (1+1)-dimensional case in which the evolution of the scale factor is set by the equations of Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity. As a first step towards a quantum simulation of this phenomenon, we consider two possible lattice regularizations, which allow us to explore the interplay of particle production and topological phenomena in spacetimes with a boundary. In particular, for a Wilson-type discretization of the Dirac field, the asymptotic Minkowski vacua connected by the intermediate expansion corresponds to symmetry-protected topological groundstates, and have a boundary manifestation in the form of zero-modes exponentially localized to the spatial boundaries. We show that particle production can also populate these zero modes, which contrasts with the situation with a naïve-fermion discretization, in which conformal zero-mass fields exhibit no particle production. We present a scheme for the quantum simulation of this gravitational analogue by means of ultra-cold atoms in Raman optical lattices, which requires real-time control of the Raman-beam detuning according to the scale factor of the simulated spacetime, as well as band-mapping measurements.

description: We use frequency-dependent position shifts of flat spectrum radio cores to estimate the kinetic power of AGN jets. We find a correlation between the derived jet powers and AGN narrow-line luminosity, consistent with the well-known relation for radio galaxies and steep spectrum quasars. This technique can be applied to intrinsically weak jets even at high redshift.

description: In this paper, we deal with hamiltonicity in planar cubic graphs G having a facial 2-factor Q via (quasi) spanning trees of faces in G/Q and study the algorithmic complexity of finding such (quasi) spanning trees of faces. Moreover, we show that if Barnette's Conjecture is false, then hamiltonicity in 3-connected planar cubic bipartite graphs is an NP-complete problem.

A new stable basis for RBF approximation
Creators: name: Santin, Gabriele
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: Numerical Analysis (math.NA)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: It's well know that Radial Basis Function approximants suffers of bad conditioning if the simple basis of translates is used. A recent work of M.Pazouki and R.Schaback gives a quite general way to build stable, orthonormal bases for the native space based on a factorization of the kernel matrix A. Starting from that setting we describe a particular orthonormal basis that arises from a weighted singular value decomposition of A. This basis is related to a discretization of the compact operator which leads to the so-called eigenbasis, and provides a connection with it. We give convergence estimates and stability bound for the interpolation and the discrete least-squares approximation based on this basis, which involves the eigenvalues of such an operator.
Stable cosmological solutions in Horndeski theory

description: It is known that the construction of a completely stable solution in Horndeski theory is restricted very strongly by the so-called no-go theorem. Previously, various techniques have been used to avoid the conditions of the theorem. In this paper a new way of constructing stable solutions are shown in the general Horndeski theory. We considered the situation in which the unitary gauge studied earlier turns out to be singular. On this basis we construct a spatially flat, stable bouncing and genesis Universe solutions which are described by General Relativity with non-conventional scalar field.
Analysis and evaluation of the workplace exposure assessment workbook developed by Keith Tait including some recommended revisions
Creators: name: Hebberd, Lisa
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 1993

description: Some risk due to the contamination of workplace environments is an inevitable part of human lives. These risks can often be reduced by improving the control of environmental pollution in the workplace. An extremely important challenge for any industry is to develop a mechanism to identify acceptable levels of safety, or "acceptable risk" in the workplace for specific situations, and to assure adequate quality control over measured or calculated exposure concentrations and their possible contributions to adverse health effects.
