description: Places around the world already experience significant damage from climate change–related weather events, economic disruption, and health impacts, exacerbated by poverty, segregation, and inequitable infrastructure. Unfortunately, Texas provides a perfect illustration of these forces, with impacts made even more severe by a lack of climate planning. How can planners minimize harm and reduce risk, given the state leadership’s unwillingness to undertake climate planning? One place to start is to investigate residents’ climate change beliefs to understand whether they share the state’s climate antagonism and then use this information to shape a planning response. In this study, I analyzed a survey (n = 1,053) to ask: What are Texans’ perceptions of climate change, and how can planners use this knowledge to create strategies to catalyze climate planning? Respondents expressed strong agreement about negative effects of climate change and increased frequency of extreme weather. They believed that climate change is due at least in part to human activity, and they expressed robust support for climate-related planning activities. These responses sharply differ from the state’s approach. However, despite agreement about climate issues, respondents did not identify climate change as a major concern about the future. This contrast suggests an opportunity for new climate-related communication frames to bridge the gap between climate perceptions and planning action. These findings inform three recommendations: better connect climate change impacts to everyday concerns, including housing, air quality, and health; emphasize common ground about benefits provided by nature, especially related to health; and use community engagement to refine these frames. I propose that planners can accelerate climate planning by following the lead of other disciplines that emphasize human health impacts of the climate crisis. In addition, planners can strengthen climate planning by extending environmental planning’s use of local knowledge from environmental health, urban heat planning, and climate-related land use planning to climate planning more broadly.

In the multi-soliton case $K\geq 2$, the solitary waves have alternate signs and their distances are of order $\log t$.

description: We use the open kicked rotator to model the chaotic scattering in a ballistic quantum dot coupled by two point contacts to electron reservoirs. By calculating the system-size-over-wave-length dependence of the shot noise power we study the crossover from wave to particle dynamics. Both a fully quantum mechanical and a semiclassical calculation are presented. We find numerically in both approaches that the noise power is reduced exponentially with the ratio of Ehrenfest time and dwell time, in agreement with analytical predictions.

description: Thermoelectric measurements detect the asymmetry between the density of states above and below the chemical potential in a material. It provides insights into small variations in the density of states near the chemical potential, complementing electron transport measurements. Here, combined resistance and thermoelectric power measurements are performed on vanadium dioxide (VO2), a prototypical correlated electron material, under ionic-liquid (IL) gating. With IL gating, charge transport below the metal-to-insulator-transition (MIT) temperature remains in the thermally activated regime, while the Seebeck coefficient exhibits an apparent transition from semiconducting to metallic behavior. The contrasting behavior indicates changes in electronic structure upon IL gating, due to the formation of oxygen defect states. The experimental results are corroborated by numerical simulations based on a model density of states incorporating a gating induced defect band. This study reveals thermoelectric measurements to be a convenient and sensitive probe for the role of defect states induced by IL gating in suppressing the MIT in VO2, which remains benign in charge transport measurements, and possibly for studying defect sates in other materials.

description: The width of street rights-of-way is normally determined by traffic engineering and urban design conventions, without considering the immense value of the underlying land. In this article, I develop an economic framework that can inform decisions on street width, and I use tax parcel data to quantify the widths, land areas, and land value of streets in 20 of the largest counties in the United States. Residential street rights-of-way in the urbanized portion of these counties average 55 ft wide, far greater than the functional minimum of 16 ft required for access. The land value of residential streets totals $959 billion in the urbanized portion of the 20-county sample. In most counties, subdivision regulations are binding. That is, few developers choose to build streets that are wider than code requirements, implying that softening requirements would mean more land devoted to housing and less to streets. Although I highlight the potential for narrower street rights-of-way, I did not consider detailed design issues. Nor did I analyze how any windfall from reduced land requirements would be divided among landowners, developers, and house purchasers. Particularly in places with high land values and housing costs, reallocating street rights-of-way to housing would increase economic efficiency. In the most expensive county in the data set—Santa Clara (CA)—narrowing the right-of-way to 16 ft would save more than $100,000 per housing unit through reduced land consumption. Where streets have little or no function for through traffic, the costs and benefits accrue almost exclusively to neighborhood residents. Thus, planners could reduce or even eliminate street width requirements in subdivision ordinances, leaving developers to make the trade-off between land for streets and land for housing.

description: The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the extent to which human service providers can safely deliver close-contact therapies in which social distancing cannot occur. Applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is one such example, with the pandemic creating several barriers to safely delivering this essential service. The present paper describes the development and administration of a risk assessment and mitigation toolkit that was designed for ABA providers to make decisions about how to identify and mitigate risk in delivering therapeutic services to children with ASD. The toolkit includes considerations for clients, other household members, providers, and treatment space to mitigate risks of COVID-19 exposure and spread. Three Board Certified Behavior Analysts piloted the toolkit with 20 clients. The findings indicate the toolkit can be used to identify situations in which a client, family member, or provider may be at higher risk and ensure increased mitigation strategies in such situations. Although developed for use in ABA treatment, the toolkit could potentially be modified for use across a range of educational and human service situations that provide similar close-contact therapies.

description: Modern geosteering is heavily dependent on real-time interpretation of deep electromagnetic (EM) measurements. We present a methodology to construct a deep neural network (DNN) model trained to reproduce a full set of extra-deep EM logs consisting of 22 measurements per logging position. The model is trained in a 1D layered environment consisting of up to seven layers with different resistivity values. A commercial simulator provided by a tool vendor is used to generate a training dataset. The dataset size is limited because the simulator provided by the vendor is optimized for sequential execution. Therefore, we design a training dataset that embraces the geological rules and geosteering specifics supported by the forward model. We use this dataset to produce an EM simulator based on a DNN without access to the proprietary information about the EM tool configuration or the original simulator source code. Despite employing a relatively small training set size, the resulting DNN forward model is quite accurate for the considered examples: a multi-layer synthetic case and a section of a published historical operation from the Goliat Field. The observed average evaluation time of 0.15 ms per logging position makes it also suitable for future use as part of evaluation-hungry statistical and/or Monte-Carlo inversion algorithms within geosteering workflows.

description: In the 1990s, some cities across the United States invested significantly in expanding light rail transit (LRT) systems. As a result, transit-oriented development (TOD) near new stations became a desirable planning goal for local governments and lucrative to developers. In this study we examined evidence of gentrification in all LRT station areas before and after the opening of these new stations. We also tested the prevalence of gentrification in station areas specifically characterized as TODs. Longitudinal data across seven regions, from 1970 to 2010, demonstrated signs of gentrification in proximity to new stations compared with control areas. By 2000, the share of the White population grew near LRT stations, whereas the percentage of Black residents remained flat. From 1990 to 2010, we found signs of gentrification based on both demographic and economic indicators, including low-income populations. We also tested the relationship among built environment variables and a gentrification index, which revealed a positive correlation with walkability, density, and diversity variables. Our study did not include data to compare the differences in effectiveness between market-rate versus affordable housing, which should be part of future research. The results of this study should aid planners and policymakers in understanding the patterns of gentrification before and after the opening of LRT stations. Planners should be concerned with negative effects on Black and low-income residents well before LRT stations open. Our study provides evidence for the need to expand housing and job opportunities in a mixed-use environment as a critical strategy to reduce gentrification near LRT stations and in TODs.

description: We consider a one dimensional model of an electron in a doubly (or nearly) degenerate band that interacts with elastic distortions. We show that the electron equations of motion reduce to a set of coupled non-linear Schrodinger equations. For the case of interband electron-phonon coupling stemming from local Jahn-Teller interactions, new multicomponent self-localized polaron solutions --vector polarons-- are described and classified. The phase diagram for the different types of vector polarons in this model is presented. By interpreting the components of the orbital doublet as those of spin-1/2, our results can also be used to describe bound magnetic polarons.

description: Brexit requires the UK government to develop its own policy for the governance of rural land. This policy should adopt an ecosystems approach to be better targeted, integrated, collaborative and devolved. A British Ecosystem Services Policy would support delivery of a full range of ESs to be provided by both landholders and other organisations and individuals who can contribute effectively. It would be implemented by developing Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES) schemes where feasible but also through a series of procurement funds administered at national and local levels. Landholders and others could tender to deliver services, potentially assembling a portfolio of service provisions. Funds would monitor the outcomes, costs revealed through tendering and the effectiveness of alternative delivery methods in order to feedback into future arrangements. However, at this stage we lack governance structures for full implementation. Initially, policy can support an extended agri-environment programme, doing more to promote collective initiatives, PES and devolved decision-making, while reducing some levels of direct policy payments. While a full BESP is a longer term goal, it is critical to embark in this direction in order to avoid path dependency trapping policy into a direct substitute for a flawed CAP

description: We perform near-infrared photometry of a large sample of 49 superthin edge-on galaxies. These galaxies are selected based on optical photometry because of high radial-to-vertical scale ratio in their stellar disks. The Near Infrared (NIR) H and K observations were conducted with the cryogenic-cooled camera ASTRONIRCAM on the 2.5m telescope at the Caucasus Mountain Observatory of Lomonosov Moscow State University. A majority of galaxies in our sample show comparable or better photometric depth than the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) optical images. We estimate the structural parameters of stellar disks in the galaxies and find that the NIR scale height of stellar disks is comparable to that estimated from the optical, SDSS g, r and i, whereas the H and K scale length of the stellar disks is significantly shorter than in the g, r and i. We investigate if a realistic distribution of dust alone can explain the difference in the scale length and find that in the majority of the galaxies the radial variation of the stellar population is actually responsible for the color distribution. The latter suggests a younger age of the disks periphery, and the inside out building up of stellar disks in the superthin galaxies.

description: Irrigation systems have been shown to substantially improve farmers' productivity, and thus help alleviate poverty. Our study provides an example of such investment, the Participatory Small-Scale Irrigation Development Programme in Ethiopia. Com- bining a primary household survey with geographical data, we estimate the impact of the project on agricultural production and households expenditures using a novel iden- tication strategy. Beneciaries gain from the project through improved crop yields, which raise revenues, and allow switching from relying mainly consuming their own pro- duce to purchasing greater amount of food from the market. Though we rule out that the project may have targeted farmers based on their agricultural performance, sum- mary statistics indicate notable dierences between beneciaries and non-beneciaries, an indication that the project might have systematically targeted farmers with certain attributes. Systematic targeting is often favored either to ensure the highest rate of success, or to deliver the project to those who may need it the most, but may limit the generalizability of the project in relation to any eorts to scaling up.

description: Abstract China is adopting stricter food safety measures that apply to both imported and domestically produced food. This study is the first to compile and analyze China’s refusals of imported food in order to assess regulatory compliance problems identified by inspectors at the Chinese border. China rejected less than 1 percent of imported food shipments from all countries and regions during 2006-19. The rate of refusal varies from year to year. Some potential exporters may be deterred from selling to China due to risks of heightened scrutiny at certain times, strict requirements for documentation and labeling, and standards that may require reformulation of products. The European Union (EU) had the largest number of refusals of any exporter, mainly because its food exports to China are predominantly processed and packaged products, which China refuses more frequently. China’s refusal rate of U.S. foods was slightly less than the average for all countries and regions.

description: There are instances when one wants to consider homogeneous, with regard to some functional relationship, groups. For example in representative farm modelling one is interested in specifying groups of farms that have the same input/output relationship. This paper questions the logic behind the established approaches. It argues that one should use the underlying functional relationship to derive such groupings. Directly grouping farms with regard to their production function (or any other functional relationship of interest) not only asks the relevant question directly, but also makes the classification issue explicitly dependent on the choice of functional form. It provides a clear definition of what kind of homogeneity and/or representativeness were are looking at. If we want farms with similar production function either because this is the characteristic we are interested in or because we intend to model their production function in a follow–on simulation model, this is clearly the type of question we have to ask. This paper proposes using finite regression mixture models to specify and estimate farm groups with regard to pre-specified functional relationship. We illustrate the proposed approach with regard to the production function. The properties and advantages of the proposed approach are discussed and explained.

title: Caste Wars: The morality of treating individuals as though they are members of groups
Creators: name: Edmonds, David
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2003

description: This thesis is about individuals and groups - and about judgements made of individuals because of their membership of groups. I argue that the concept of caste can illuminate our understanding of discrimination. Chapter I adumbrates the properties of a group. Chapters II draws a distinction between two types of statistical discrimination: between extrapolations based on characteristics like race, sex or eye colour and those based on past behaviour. But within the former category we feel more strongly about discrimination based on sex than discrimination based on eye-colour. Chapters III explains why this is so. I attempt to show that the concept of caste is essential for making sense of our intuitions. Race and sex are not supposed to be relevant in a meritocracy - potential employees and university applicants are supposed to be assessed on their individual worth. And yet there are cases where an individual's worth to a company may be a function of a characteristic like skin colour - such as when customers are racist and would rather not be served by a black person. Chapter IV attempts to reconcile this tension within merit. If we wish to break down caste, I argue, then far from pandering to the racist attitudes of the customers, the employer may have an added reason to employ somebody who is black. This brings us to Chapter V, and some reflections on how caste can illuminate the impassioned debate on affirmative action. But should we wish to break down caste? What is wrong with a society being rigidly split? Chapter VI offers a tentative answer, in the liberal tradition. The answer has something to do with autonomy. Chapters VII and VIII then examine two final areas where groups are relevant, and where caste can once again shed light: voting rights, and animal rights.

description: This study investigates the relationship between the number of jobs created and funding granted as part of the Community Led Local Development element within the Northern Ireland Rural Development Programme. Analysis is carried out using ex-post application-level data associated with Axis 3-‘improving the quality of life and the management of economic activity’ during the 2007-2013 period. A two-step procedure is used to estimate a negative binomial model and correct for sample selection. A joint estimation was performed to allow for correlation between the structural and selection equations. Results indicate that there is a positive and statistically significant relationship between the number of created jobs and the amount of awarded grant per application and, moreover, that this relationship depends on the categories, or Measures, within Axis 3. The more economic-focused Measures (Diversification into non-Agricultural Activities, Business Creation and Development, and Encouragement of Tourism Activities) showed a statistically significant link between the amount of public funds and job creation. No such relationship was found for the other Measures. Finally, in cases where public funds are linked to job creation, we found that this happens only above a given threshold, namely two or three jobs.

description: Molecular materials enable a vast variety of functionalities for novel electronic and spintronic devices. The unique possibility to alter or substitute organic molecules or metallic substrates offers the opportunity to modify and optimize interfacial properties for almost any desired field of application. For this reason, we extend the successful approach to control molecular interfaces by surface alloying. We present a comprehensive characterization of the structural and electronic properties of the interface formed between the prototypical molecule PTCDA and a Sn-Ag surface alloy grown on an Ag(111) single crystal surface. We monitor the changes of adsorption height of the surface alloy atoms and electronic valence band structure upon adsorption of one layer of PTCDA using the normal incidence x-ray standing wave technique in combination with momentum-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy. We find that the vertical buckling and the surface band structure of the SnAg$_2$ surface alloy is not altered by the adsorption of one layer of PTCDA, in contrast to our recent study of PTCDA on a PbAg$_2$ surface alloy [Phys. Rev. Lett. 117, 096805 (2016)] . In addition, the vertical adsorption geometry of PTCDA and the interfacial energy level alignment indicate the absence of any chemical interaction between the molecule and the surface alloy. We attribute the different interactions at these PTCDA/surface alloy interfaces to the presence or absence of local $σ$-bonds between the PTCDA oxygen atoms and the surface atoms. Combining our findings with results from literature, we are able to propose an empiric rule for engineering the surface band structure of alloys by adsorption of organic molecules.

description: There has been almost no recent formal economic analysis of the WTP of British consumers for organic products.1 Given the rising demand for organic products on one hand and the decline in the organically farmed area in the UK on the other hand, this is an important topic to address. The present paper analyses the demand for organic products using both stated and revealed preferences from the same consumers. The stated preference model is based on the respondent’s choice from hypothetical choice sets. Attributes in the stated preference model are based on the ranges of the actual levels of attributes found in shops and are presented to respondents using a fractional factorial statistical design. Three different hypothetical bias treatments are applied in order to reduce hypothetical bias. The stated preference results are validated with the help of actual consumption data from the weekly shopping of the same consumers. The results show that there exists a core of organic consumers of about 20-30% of the sample that have a positive willingness to pay for the organic label. However, consumers seem to be willing to pay more for other attributes such as a higher quality, environmentally friendly production and no chemical usage. Attributes such as animal welfare, and a longer expiry date do not seem to have the same relevance for the UK consumers.
