description: In higher dimensional field theories with compactified dimensions there are three standard ways to do perturbative calculations: i) by the summation over Kaluza-Klein towers; ii) by the summation over winding numbers making use of the Poisson-resummation formula and iii) by using mixed propagators, where the coordinates of the four infinite dimensions are Fourier-transformed to momentum space while those of the compactified dimensions are kept in configuration space. The third method is broadly used in finite temperature field theory calculations. One of its advantage is that one can easily separate the ultraviolet divergent terms of the uncompactified theory from the non-local finite corrections arising from windings around the compact dimensions. In this note we demonstrate the use of this formalism by calculating one-loop self-energy corrections in a 5D theory formulated on the manifold M_4 \otimes S_1 and on the orbifold M_4 \otimes S_1/Z_2.

description: Ideation is essential for creative writing. Many authors struggle to come up with ideas throughout the writing process, yet modern writing tools fail to provide on-the-spot assistance for writers when they get stuck. This paper introduces Heteroglossia, an add-on for Google Docs that allows writers to elicit story ideas from the online crowd using their text editors. Writers can share snippets of their working drafts and ask the crowd to provide follow-up story ideas based on it. Heteroglossia employs a strategy called "role play", where each worker is assigned a fictional character in a story and asked to brainstorm plot ideas from that character's perspective. Our deployment with two experienced story writers shows that Heteroglossia is easy to use and can generate interesting ideas. Heteroglossia allows us to gain insight into how future technologies can be developed to support ideation in creative writing

description: The relationship between the built environment, healthy living, people’s behaviour and health status is complex. Even so, cities and communities can be designed and built to set people up for success so that healthy choices are the easier choices. Studies suggest that green spaces are linked to a variety of health benefits including lower risk for premature death. Ties to the land, water, family, community and identity, as well as a holistic, interconnected view of health and well-being are important components of an integrated design project that can provide insight into healthy communities and building’s design. This project is to address housing and social connectedness while focusing on health and wellbeing of intergenerational urban communities. Reintroducing the most affected generations by housing affordability and social connectedness in Vancouver – seniors and young families – suggests a new kind of intergenerational urban family. In every community there is this need to integrate different generations, so the community can be whole. There is an unmet and growing market demand to live in complete, compact, and connected communities. Such communities are necessary to meet environmental, economic, and social planning objectives. This project aims to create a variety of different shared spaces with a range of unique qualities that promote different interactions between generations and increase social connectedness. This thesis project proposes a dynamic urban space typology addressing social connectivity through shared and transition spaces taxonomy. This strategy aims to put shared spaces and their social implications first, to encourage different scales of shared space, connectivity, social interaction, and to establish a sense of community.

description: The current study brings natural resources, and tourism into the energy-growth, and environment nexus using the STIRPAT model for 88 BRI countries over 1995–2015. Considering the endogeneity, cross-sectional dependence, and slope homogeneity, this study employed dynamic GMM and D&K estimators for three distinct structural equations. For the CO2 equation, the empirical outcomes supported the EKC, energy lead emission, natural resource-based CO2 emissions, and tourism-led CO2 emissions, and on the other hand, renewable energy helps to curb environmental degradation. For the GDP equation, the role of energy, CO2 emissions, tourism development, and renewable energy is positive and contributes significantly to economic growth. The impact of natural resources is negative and significant, thus postulating the “resource curse phenomenon” in BRI countries. For the energy equation, CO2, GDP, and natural resources are escalating energy consumption; while, renewable energy is negatively affecting energy, which indicates that growth in renewable energy tends to discourage the consumption of fossil fuel-based energy in the BRI countries.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The production of Nori (Pyropia yezoensis) is getting lower because of the bleaching of Nori which is caused by nutrient deficiency in the sea water. In the Seto Inland Sea of Japan, eutrophication occurred rapidly during the period of rapid economic growth of Japan around 1970. After that, however, effective anti‐eutrophication measures reduced the eutrophication in the sea water and nutrient level became lower in this decade. Additionally, occurrences of diatom blooms cause depletion of inorganic nitrogen and decreased the production.

description: Electronic waste management in the US has been characterized as ‘inconsistent’, ‘disparate’, and a ‘patchwork’. While there is currently no federal leadership on the regulation of e-waste, 25 states have some form of legislation aimed at promoting e-waste recycling and/or prohibiting disposal in landfills and incinerators. But each state legislation differs from the next. We dive into these differences to unveil the complex nature of e-waste legislation in the US. Additionally, we analyze collection trends from each of the 25 legislated states. Many of these operated e-waste recycling programs prior to the implementation of state legislation, and thus we assess collection trends prior to and following legislation implementation. Our findings expose key challenges regarding the metrics used to evaluate state e-waste recycling programs as well as (re)igniting the debate on whether the states or federal government are best suited to manage e-waste in the US.

description: Magnetism in two-dimensional van der Waals materials has received significant attention recently. The Curie temperature reported for those materials, however, has been so far remained relatively low. Here, we measure magneto-optical Kerr effects (MOKE) under perpendicular magnetic field for van der Waals ferromagnet Cr2Ge2Te6 as well as its heterostructure with antiferromagnetic insulator NiO. We observe a notable increase in both Curie temperature and magnetic perpendicular anisotropy in Cr2Ge2Te6/NiO heterostructures compared to those in Cr2Ge2Te6. Measurements on the same exfoliated Cr2Ge2Te6 flake (on a SiO2/Si substrate) before and after depositing NiO show that the hysteresis loop can change into a square shape with larger coercive field for Cr2Ge2Te6/NiO. The maximum Curie temperature (TC) observed for Cr2Ge2Te6/NiO reaches ~120 K, is nearly twice the maximum TC ~ 60 K reported for Cr2Ge2Te6 alone. Both enhanced perpendicular anisotropy and increased Curie temperature are observed for Cr2Ge2Te6 flakes with a variety of thicknesses ranging from ~5 nm to ~200 nm. The results indicate that magnetic properties of two-dimensional van der Waals magnets can be engineered and controlled by using the heterostructure interface with other materials.

description: Thermophoresis is the process of particles moving along a temperature gradient in thermodynamic systems. Even though it has been studied for over 150 years, there is neither a complete theoretical description of thermophoresis in liquids nor of the Soret coefficient, the quantifiying measure of the Soret equilibrium. Recent studies connect its nature to equilibrium properties of the system, namely the excess enthalpy and the excess entropy, while there is still a debate over which of both describes the Soret coefficient more accurately and whether it can even be represented using those quantities. In this work I present a theoretical description for both cases based on density analysis by means of Brownian motion and dynamical density functional theory, where I assume local equilibrium. The interpretation of the Brownian stochastic differential equation (SDE) as an Ito or Stratonovich SDE is shown to have an influence on the outcome of the density. I argue that a Soret coefficient proportional to the excess enthalpy is connected to a system in a thermal gradient following its equation of state. Furthermore, I derive that the Boltzmann distribution law for external potentials does not hold for systems in thermal gradients but has to be replaced by a more general quantity. The theoretical predictions are consequently tested by means of BD simulations, where several systems are shown to follow their equation of state. The Soret coefficient of a solute in a toy model solvent is shown to be proportional to the solute's equilibrium solvation enthalpy. I further attempt to verify the theoretic derivations by means of MD simulations of noble gas solutes in SPC/E water. While the Soret equilibrium SPC/E water density follows its equation of state, neither Soret coefficient nor Soret equilibrium solute densitie entail a coherent agreement with any of the theoretical predictions.

description: Low participation rates in the Food Stamp Program (FSP) by poor elderly individuals have been a persistent problem. Historically, no more than one-third of eligible elderly have participated in the FSP—a participation rate far lower than that of any other major demographic group. To address the low participation rates among the elderly, USDA is funding the Elderly Nutrition Demonstrations—six separate pilot programs that are testing three alternative ways to increase elderly participation in the FSP. This report discusses the logistical considerations for evaluating the impacts of the six demonstrations. It presents an overview of the evaluation design, discusses alternative approaches for data collection, presents a schedule for the evaluation, and presents the expected costs of the evaluation.

description: The Harvard Service Food Frequency Questionnaire (HSFFQ) has been used in the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) in North Dakota, Missouri, and Massachusetts. This project collaborated with those States to improve HSFFQ output to better facilitate nutrition education, food package decisions, and referrals; to design, implement, and evaluate the use of aggregate nutrition data for local and State practices and policy decisions; and to use prospective data to examine the relationships between diet and childhood obesity. The project developed a standardized version of the HSFFQ to make collecting and compiling aggregate data easier and to make data reports more useful. The project demonstrated that aggregating nutrition data at the State level is feasible. The calibration studies uncovered the need for further analyses to explain the performance of the tool in the diet assessment of low-income Hispanic and African-American children. Prospective analysis of the influence of diet on overweight in low-income preschool children, while inconclusive, demonstrated the ability to use aggregate nutrition data to explore important epidemiological hypotheses.

description: We examine the Banados-Teitelboim-Zanelli (BTZ) black hole in terms of the information geometry and consider what kind of quantum information produces the black hole metric in close connection with the anti-de Sitter space/conformal field theory (AdS/CFT) correspondence. We find a Hessian potential that exactly produces both the BTZ metric and the entanglement entropy formula for CFT_{1+1} at a finite temperature. Taking a free-falling frame near the event horizon is a key procedure to derive these exact results. We also find an alternative Hessian potential that produces the same BTZ metric, which is found using the duality relation based on the Legendre transformation. We realize that the dual representation originates from the entanglement Hamiltonian on the CFT side. Our results suggest that the present information-geometrical approach is very powerful for understanding the mechanism of the holographic renormalization group such as the AdS/CFT correspondence.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The distribution of epipelagic plankton biomass by size-fractions was studied during Malaspina-2010 expedition across the Indian, Pacific and Atlantic oceans. The objective was to characterize plankton biomass structure at large spatial scales in poorly explored areas of the ocean. Samples from 95 stations, representative of 3 of major ocean biomes and 12 ecological provinces, were fractionated in 5 size-classes (40 to 5000 µm) and biomass determined as dry weight. Mean plankton biomass was similar for all oceans and major biomes but varied significantly between provinces, being particularly high in the N Pacific Equatorial Countercurrent and in the Caribbean provinces. The differences were mainly due to increases in medium-sized plankton, while for most provinces the biomass was uniformly distributed across logarithmic size-classes. Total and size-class plankton biomass was negatively and non-linearly correlated with the mixing layer depth and with the depth of the chlorophyll maximum across provinces. In contrast only the biomass of the smaller plankton was positively and linearly correlated with sea surface temperature, while the biomass of other size-classes was positively affected by the thermal stratification gradient in the upper layer. The obtained relationships will improve our ability to monitor and model the ocean response to global change

description: This study examines the degree to which changes in entry and exit patterns into and out of the Food Stamp Program (FSP) contributed to the FSP caseload growth of the early 1990s and to the decline of the late 1990s. A rise in the FSP entry rate was the driving force behind caseload growth in the early 1990s. However, individuals tended to stay longer in the FSP during this period than at other points of the 1990s, which also contributed to the growth. Caseload decline of the late 1990s was driven predominantly by shorter participation length, although lower entry rates also contributed. The entry rate for single mothers remained relatively constant over the 1990s, but participation length declined in the late 1990s. Despite eligibility restrictions in the late 1990s, the entry rate for noncitizens also remained fairly constant.While the entry rate for able-bodied adults fell after time limits were imposed in the mid- 1990s, their participation length appeared unaffected by these limits, which may reflect the tendency for able-bodied adults to have short participation spells even without time limits. Among all new entrants in the FSP in the 1990s, more than half exited the program within 8 months and two-thirds exited within 1 year. Among individuals participating in the FSP for longer than 1 year, the typical participation length declined over the 1990s.

description: Reducing the burden of applying for food stamps or enhancing benefits appears to increase participation of the elderly in the Food Stamp Program (FSP). Historically, low-income seniors ages 60 and older who qualify for FSP benefits participate at low rates because they feel it is not worth the effort to apply. To identify effective strategies for raising participation among this population, USDA designed three models, each using different techniques to reduce the barriers that seniors face in FSP participation. The techniques involve reducing the time and effort of applying for benefits, aiding seniors in navigating the application process, and giving seniors the option of receiving commodity packages instead of getting benefits through electronic benefits transfer cards. The models were tested as county demonstrations in six States between 2002 and 2004. This report presents the findings from an evaluation of the demonstrations. Successful demonstrations increased the number of participating seniors by 20-35 percent after 21 months of operation.
The place you thought you knew : personal memory as precedent in the architectural design process
Creators: name: Hardy, Pera
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2019

description: What pieces of our past remain with us, and why? The scalability and malleability of our memories means that no physical space is ever lived, remembered, seen, or felt the same way from one occupant to the next. The architectural original becomes irrelevant in a sea of interpreted experiences. We glean selected moments and fragments from the spaces we occupy, and we modify and reinterpret them to inform our understandings of what comes next. The built reality of these moments and fragments have architectural implications; we physically embody them, and we can also create them. We generate new occupiable moments in the translation between selective remembrance and desire. The process is personal, and the product is infinite. The place you thought you knew is ever changing into places of what could be. This thesis is a study of personal experience in architecture, and how selected memories can become valid precedents in the individual design process. Beginning with a study in the associations of the subconscious mind and using meditation as a tool to investigate free thought, this project investigates the personal as a way to contextualize the universal, and to affirm individual intuition as a valid source of knowledge. Using intuition, memory and emotion in design are under-supported as informative factors in contemporary architectural design work. This thesis seeks to understand the possibilities of personal association, desire, reflection, and memory as base points for creative design decisions and generative space making; acknowledging their place in the artistry of architectural thinking and experimentally testing their limitations.

description: The mechanism of not diverging Grüneisen parameter in the quantum critical heavy-fermion quasicrystal (QC) Yb$_{15}$Al$_{34}$Au$_{51}$ is analyzed. We construct the formalism for calculating the specific heat $C_V(T)$, the thermal-expansion coefficient $α(T)$, and the Grüneisen parameter $Γ(T)$ near the quantum critical point of the Yb valence transition. By applying the framework to the QC, we calculate $C_V(T)$, $α(T)$, and $Γ(T)$, which explains the measurements. Not diverging $Γ(T)$ is attributed to the robustness of the quantum criticality in the QC under pressure. The difference in $Γ(T)$ at the lowest temperature between the QC and approximant crystal is shown to reflect the difference in the volume derivative of characteristic energy scales of the critical Yb-valence fluctuation and the Kondo temperature. Possible implications of our theory to future experiments are also discussed.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Changes in the North Atlantic Subpolar gyre (NASPG) have been linked to the interannual variability of primary production. However, little is known about the mechanisms behind both environmental processes, and how the NASPG strength may extend its potential impacts to higher trophic levels, including early life stages of commercial fish species. We assess NASPG strength effect on North Atlantic phytoplankton bloom dynamics. We analysed time series (from 1998 to 2010) of chlorophyll α as a proxy of phytoplankton abundance, and the NASPG as a proxy for environmental variability. 17 regions were strategically chosen to characterize positions relative to the NASPG and its dynamics. It is hypothesized that a strong NASPG index will be associated with a low abundance, late phytoplankton bloom, possibly induced by higher heat losses, and thus lower temperatures. In general, across the entire North Atlantic, later blooms were observed in higher latitudes and for stronger NAPSG index (negative values). This pattern though has regional variations. In the eastern sectors, latitudinal timing differences are much stronger for strong NAPSG index than for weak index. Indications of a strong influence of NASPG index are related to areas within the NAPSG, which may have an impact in the ecosystem functioning. The results also suggest that physical forcing other than the strength of the NASPG influences primary production, particularly at regional scales.

description: The high rate of mortality and global panic for the past 6 months because of Covid-19 pandemic calls for concern. Among the precautionary measures from international health organizations and governments to her citizens are the total lock-down, self-isolation, physical distancing, and handwashing mechanisms. Thus, this study attempts to investigate the effectiveness and efficiency of these mechanisms by residents and tourists in George Town Heritage City traditional shophouses and proffer possible ways to mitigate future pandemics, especially concerning interior design components of a typical traditional shophouse. To achieve this, a phenomenology type of qualitative research was adopted. Data were collected via observations of selected traditional shophouses in George Town Heritage City, face-to-face interviews conducted, and validated via secondary sources. Findings show that it is difficult to practice some of the precautionary measures as recommended by appropriate authorities in majority of the George Town Heritage City traditional shophouses because of renovation and modernization to the original design. As part of the practical implications, this study is advocating for the modification of future design and construction to mitigate the spread of the contagious pandemic in shophouses. Also, this paper intends to stir-up key stakeholders and open new areas for future research.

description: Historically, low-income seniors ages 60 and older who qualify for Food Stamp Program (FSP) benefits participate at low rates because they feel it is not worth the effort to apply. To identify effective strategies for raising participation among this population, USDA designed three models, each using different techniques to reduce the barriers that seniors face in FSP participation. The techniques involve reducing the time and effort of applying for benefits, aiding seniors in navigating the application process, and giving seniors the option of receiving commodity packages instead of getting benefits through electronic benefits transfer cards. The models were tested as county demonstrations in six States between 2002 and 2004. This report presents the findings of the in-depth process analysis component of an evaluation of the demonstrations. Each of the demonstrations was examined individually for overall design and implementation.

description: It is intriguing to explore the coexistence and (or) competition between charge-density-wave (CDW) and superconductivity (SC) in many correlated electron systems, such as cuprates, organic superconductors and dichacolgenides. Among them, the recently discovered $\mathbb{Z} _2$ topological kagome metals AV$_3$Sb$_5$ (A=K, Rb, Cs) serve as an ideal platform to study the intricate relation between them. Here, we report the electrical resistance measurements on CsV$_3$Sb$_5$ thin flakes ($\approx$ 60 nm) under hydrostatic pressure up to 2.12 GPa to compare its pressure phase diagram of CDW and SC with its bulk form. Even though the CDW transition temperature (T$_{CDW}$) in CsV$_3$Sb$_5$ thin flakes is still monotonically suppressed under pressure and totally vanishes at P$_2$=1.83 GPa similar to the bulk, the superconducting transition temperature (T$_c$) shows an initial decrease and consequent increase up to its maximum $\sim$ 8.03 K at P$_2$, in sharp contrast with the M-shaped double domes in the bulk CsV$_3$Sb$_5$. Our results suggest the important role of reduced dimensionality on the CDW state and its interplay with the SC, offering a new perspective to explore the exotic nature of CsV$_3$Sb$_5$.

description: This study focuses on a set of eating habit questions proposed for inclusion in the U.S. Department of Education's Early Childhood Longitudinal Survey, Birth Cohort. The study assesses the wording and format of a series of questions for mothers of children in kindergarten and/or first grade regarding the child’s food consumption habits. Most mothers were able to answer questions on their child's eating habits by using a variety of recall strategies or by using references. Most mothers used recall strategies, such as the recall of preferences and special events or a child’s specific likes or dislikes. They also used references, such as the presence of a menu or snacking policies at school. Mothers did not generally struggle with terminology, but some words and concepts required clarification. The biggest problem in answering the questions was the combination of not remembering what foods were eaten and the desire to reflect socially acceptable and beneficial eating behaviors.

description: This study is a comprehensive analysis of the nutrient adequacy of segments of the population at risk of inadequate nutrient intake, excessive intake, or dietary imbalances, based on the Continuing Survey of Food Intakes by Individuals conducted in 1994-96 and 1998. The segments include adolescent females, older adults, children and adults at risk of overweight, individuals living in food-insufficient households, low-income individuals, and individuals targeted by and participating in food and nutrition assistance programs. The study adds to a growing literature that uses current, improved knowledge of nutrient requirements and recommended nutrient assessment methods to analyze nutrient intakes. The study indicates generally inadequate intakes of key micronutrients, especially magnesium, calcium, folate, and vitamin E; energy intakes less than recommended energy requirements for adults; and consumption of too much food energy from fat and not enough from carbohydrates; and inadequate intakes of fiber. In addition, diet adequacy deteriorates as individuals get older. Children—especially infants and young children— have diets that are more nutritionally adequate than those of adolescents and adults.

description: This report summarizes research findings from the Food Assistance and Nutrition Research Small Grants Program. The Economic Research Service created the program in 1998 to stimulate new and innovative research on food assistance and nutrition issues and to broaden the participation of social science scholars in these issues. The report includes summaries of the research projects that were awarded 1-year grants in summer and fall 2003. The results of these research projects were presented at the December 2004 Small Grants Program conference. The projects focus on the economics of obesity, food insecurity and childhood obesity, food assistance program participation and household well-being, community influence on food assistance and dietary choices, and welfare reform and food assistance participation. Several of the projects focus on specific populations, such as people living in the rural South and those living on American Indian reservations.

description: Recent works aiming at understanding magnetotransport phenomena in ferromagnetic III-V and II-VI semiconductors are described. Theory of the anomalous Hall effect in p-type magnetic semiconductors is discussed, and the relative role of side-jump and skew-scattering mechanisms assessed for (Ga,Mn)As and (Zn,Mn)Te. It is emphasized that magnetotransport studies of ferromagnetic semiconductors in high magnetic fields make it possible to separate the contributions of the ordinary and anomalous Hall effects, to evaluate the role of the spins in carrier scattering and localization as well as to determine the participation ratio of the ferromagnetic phase near the metal-insulator transition. A sizable negative magnetoresistance in the regime of strong magnetic fields is assigned to the weak localization effect.

title: Living with dying children: the suffering of parents
Creators: name: Black, Rachel Jane
Publisher: name: University of Kent

description: Although the relief of suffering and emotional support are fundamental to children's palliative care, their empirical study has been limited. The research questions for this study address three areas: the lived experience of parents of dying children; how other people's responses shape the parents' lived experience; and the place of emotion and suffering in the parents' lived experience. Implementing a qualitative strategy, a collective case study was undertaken in a children's hospice in England, with fieldwork completed between March 2008 and September 2009. Data was collected with nine parents using a range of tools including a focus group, participant observation, documentary observation and individual interviews. Within-case and cross-case modified grounded theory analysis facilitated clarification of emerging themes whilst preserving individual parent voices. The findings show that parents of dying children had existential issues put at stake through the emotional experience of parenting a dying child; these included their identity, place in society, time, and relationships. Such losses could constitute suffering, but in addition they limited the parents' interaction with society so that over time both the 'quantity' and 'quality' of intersubjectivity reduced. The parents perceived that other people tended not to legitimate their lived experience. Emotion was an important influence in this process. The parents of dying children managed their emotions, particularly those of a negative nature, in everyday life and when using hospice services. As a result they expressed somewhat inauthentic accounts of their felt experience, reframed according to perceived feeling rules. This also reduced intersubjectivity and supported the delegitimation of the parental experience. In conclusion, delegitimation of the parental experience stems from feeling rules which are derived from day to day interactions and contemporary social policy. Suffering may be prevented if individual experience is legitimated through improved intersubjectivity. A key factor for this is effective communication through which observers engage with the felt emotion of the suffering individual.

description: Protected areas are fundamental in conservation, but their intactness is increasingly threatened by the effects of climate and land-cover changes. Here, a methodological procedure is proposed able to determine the representative climatic conditions of a protected area in central Spain (Guadarrama National Park) pinpointing the natural areas that will host future analogous conditions, but also assessing the effects of land-cover changes on the connectivity of these areas. Future conditions provided by two 2050 IPCC climatic change scenarios and land-cover change simulations were jointly used for this purpose. According to the results obtained, climate change will produce notable effects, displacing its representative climatic conditions as well as modifying the land cover in the neighboring localities. Three areas appear as fundamental for the future maintenance of this reserve: two within the Iberian Central System (Gredos Mountains and Ayllón Mountains) and one in the Iberian System (Urbión Mountains). The proposed approach can be implemented in any protected area to examine its capacity to represent in the future the environmental conditions for which it was created.
