description: A significant portion of Aotearoa New Zealand’s population is vulnerable to tsunami. To improve evacuation modelling and planning, this study explores the complexities of decision-making for tsunami evacuation. As an exploratory study, four expert elicitation workshops were held to brainstorm key factors influencing evacuation behaviour. Insights from the workshop reveal the complexity of decision-making, with multiple factors overlapping and potentially influencing each other. The factors identified can be broadly grouped into four categories. These include: (1) Individual factors: personal experiences, knowledge, health, mobility and other factors can shape evacuation choices. (2) Social context and influence: social norms, family dynamics and other influences can significantly impact evacuation decisions. (3) Information factors: Clarity, timeliness and comprehensiveness of information is crucial for effective evacuation. (4) External and location-based factors such as time of day, weather, familiarity with surroundings and damage to infrastructure can also influence evacuation strategies. These findings highlight the potential to integrate these factors to improve agent-based modelling to reflect actual decision-making processes. In turn, the models can improve evacuation planning and public education. The multi-faceted factors can be progressively integrated into tsunami evacuation modelling as research progresses. Models that integrate the decision-making factors identified in this study can be a valuable tool for enhancing tsunami planning for coastal communities in Aotearoa New Zealand (auths)

description: Situé dans la boucle du Niger, le Burkina Faso se caractérise par des conditions pédoclimatiques défavorables. Les sols sont de faible profondeur (généralement limitée par une cuirasse qui affleure en surface en certains endroits) et naturellement pauvres en matière organique et carencés en phosphore et en azote. Plus de 85 % des sols sont en effet de types ferrugineux tropicaux lessivés (Dembélé and Somé, 1991; Pallo and Thiombiano 1989), tandis que près de 65 % du pays se trouve entre les isohyètes 500 mm et 800 mm. La tendance actuelle est à l'aridification du climat au Nord avec un déplacement des isohyètes de 100 mm vers le Sud par rapport aux années 60 (MAHRH/ DADI, 2010). La pluviométrie, globalement insuffisante est d'une grande variabilité interannuelle et spatio-temporelle. Environ 11 % des terres du pays sont considérées comme très dégradées et 34 %, comme moyennement dégradées (Sawadogo 2011). Selon un rapport de 20131 du Ministère de l'environnement et du développement durable, cette dégradation des terres progresserait de 105 000 à 250 000 ha/an, tandis que le couvert forestier a subi une diminution moyenne de 110 500 ha/an (soit 4,04 % en moyenne par an) entre 1992 et 2006.

description: Water electrolysis is on its way to becoming a gigawatt industry. All companies are currently massively expanding their manufacturing capacities. There is no real technical showstopper visible until 2030+ (materials, scaleup, lifetime, costs). Technologies can complement each other. But learning curve still has to be overcome. Current hurdles for electrolysers : no investment security, supply chain bottlenecks, shortage of skilled workers, lack of standardization and norming. However, a successful market ramp up will only work with suitable boundary conditions (availability of RE and market framework incl. business models for green hydrogen).

description: Nonadiabatic ab initio molecular dynamics (MD) including spin-orbit coupling (SOC) and laser fields is investigated as a general tool for studies of excited-state processes. Up to now, SOCs are not included in standard ab initio MD packages. Therefore, transitions to triplet states cannot be treated in a straightforward way. Nevertheless, triplet states play an important role in a large variety of systems and can now be treated within the given framework. The laser interaction is treated on a non-perturbative level that allows nonlinear effects like strong Stark shifts to be considered. As MD allows for the handling of many atoms, the interplay between triplet and singlet states of large molecular systems will be accessible. In order to test the method, IBr is taken as a model system, where SOC plays a crucial role for the shape of the potential curves and thus the dynamics. Moreover, the influence of the nonresonant dynamic Stark effect is considered. The latter is capable of controlling reaction barriers by electric fields in timereversible conditions, and thus a control laser using this effect acts like a photonic catalyst. In the IBr molecule, the branching ratio at an avoided crossing, which arises from SOC, can be influenced.
Muscular Christianity

description: A culturally and religiously diffuse movement characterized by its central concerns and practices around health, fitness, and sports. These concerns have historically taken hold when linked to the project of reinstilling lost manhood, of fixing "overcivilized" and effeminate men through right orientation to divine, gendered purpose. Aligned toward personal "instinct" and God-given knowledge of best health and fitness practices, the movement is predominantly protestant-inspired. As a means of social reform - of sanitizing sport culture from various evil influences, of offering healthy alternatives to unhealthy societal norms around diet, dress, medicine, or daily comportment - Muscular Christianity has resonated in Catholic, Jewish, and more broadly "secular" circles as well.

description: From birth, infants preferentially attend to human motion, which allows them to learn to interpret other peoples’ facial expressions and mental states. Evidence from adults shows that selectivity of the amygdala and the posterior superior temporal sulcus (pSTS) to biological motion correlates with social network size. Social motivation—one’s desire to orient to the social world, to seek and find reward in social interaction, and to maintain social relationships—may also contribute to neural specialization for biological motion and to social network characteristics. The current study aimed to determine whether neural selectivity for biological motion relates to social network characteristics, and to gain preliminary evidence as to whether social motivation plays a role in this relation. Findings suggest that neural selectivity for biological motion in the pSTS is positively related to social network size in middle childhood and that this relation is moderated by social motivation.

description: Additional training of a deep learning model can cause negative effects on the results, turning an initially positive sample into a negative one (degradation). Such degradation is possible in real-world use cases due to the diversity of sample characteristics. That is, a set of samples is a mixture of critical ones which should not be missed and less important ones. Therefore, we cannot understand the performance by accuracy alone. While existing research aims to prevent a model degradation, insights into the related methods are needed to grasp their benefits and limitations. In this talk, we will present implications derived from a comparison of methods for reducing degradation. Especially, we formulated use cases for industrial settings in terms of arrangements of a data set. The results imply that a practitioner should care about better method continuously considering dataset availability and life cycle of an AI system because of a trade-off between accuracy and preventing degradation.

Warning Against Faking: Boon or Bane? Effects on Test Score Validity

description: Previous research found personality test scores to be inflated on average among individuals who were motivated to present themselves in a desirable fashion in high stakes situations, such as during the employee selection process. One apparently effective way to reduce the undesirable test score inflation in such situations was to warn participants against faking. This research set out to investigate whether warning against faking would indeed affect personality test scores in the theoretically expected fashion. Contrary to expectations, the results did not support the hypothesized causal chain. Results across three studies show that while a warning may lower test scores in participants motivated to respond desirably (i.e., to fake), the effect of warning on test scores was not fully mediated by: a reduction in motivation to do well and self-reports of exaggerated responses in the personality test. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

description: Graph convolutional networks (GCNs) have shown remarkable learning capabilities when processing graph-structured data found inherently in many application areas. GCNs distribute the outputs of neural networks embedded in each vertex over multiple iterations to take advantage of the relations captured by the underlying graphs. Consequently, they incur a significant amount of computation and irregular communication overheads, which call for GCN-specific hardware accelerators. To this end, this paper presents a communication-aware in-memory computing architecture (COIN) for GCN hardware acceleration. Besides accelerating the computation using custom compute elements (CE) and in-memory computing, COIN aims at minimizing the intra- and inter-CE communication in GCN operations to optimize the performance and energy efficiency. Experimental evaluations with widely used datasets show up to 105x improvement in energy consumption compared to state-of-the-art GCN accelerator.

description: Both global, intermediate and local scales of Climate Change have been studied extensively, but a unified diagnostic framework for examining all spatial scales concurrently has remained elusive. Here we present a new tool-set using spherical harmonics to examine climate change through surface temperature anomalies from 1850 to 2021 on spatial scales ranging from planetary to $50$ km scales. We show that the observed temperature anomalies are accurately decomposed in spherical harmonics typically within 0.05 K. This decomposition displays a remarkably simple dependence on spatial scale with a universal shape across seasons and decades. The decomposition separates two distinct regimes by a characteristic turnover-length of approximately $3000$ km. The largest scales confirm established trends, while local fluctuations are consistent with 2-dimensional turbulence. We observe a downward cascade, from which it follows that climate change feeds increasing volatility on all spatial scales from $2.000$ to $50$ km. This increase is primarily driven by growing volatility along longitudes.

description: We present a rigorous analytical method for harmonic analysis of the angular error of rotary and linear encoders with sine/cosine output signals in quadrature that are distorted by superimposed Fourier series. To calculate the angle from measured sine and cosine encoder channels in quadrature, the arctangent function is commonly used. The hence non-linear relation between raw signals and calculated angle -- often thought of as a black box -- complicates the estimation of the angular error and its harmonic decomposition. By means of a Taylor series expansion of the harmonic amplitudes, our method allows for quantification of the impact of harmonic signal distortions on the angular error in terms of harmonic order, magnitude and phase, including an upper bound on the remaining error term -- without numerical evaluation of the arctangent function. The same approximation is achieved with an intuitive geometric approximation in the complex plane, validating the results. Additionally, interaction effects between harmonics in the signals are considered by higher-order Taylor expansion. The approximations show an excellent agreement with the exact calculation in numerical examples even in case of large distortion amplitudes, leading to practicable estimates for the angular error decomposition.

description: We present timing analysis for a Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer observation of Cygnus X-1 in its hard/low state. This was the first RXTE observation of Cyg X-1 taken after it transited back to this state from its soft/high state. RXTE's large effective area, superior timing capabilities, and ability to obtain long, uninterrupted observations have allowed us to obtain measurements of the power spectral density (PSD), coherence function, and Fourier time lags to a decade lower in frequency and half a decade higher in frequency than typically was achieved with previous instruments. Notable aspects of our observations include a weak 0.005 Hz feature in the PSD coincident with a coherence recovery; a `hardening' of the high-frequency PSD with increasing energy; a broad frequency range measurement of the coherence function, revealing rollovers from unity coherence at both low and high frequency; and an accurate determination of the Fourier time lags over two and a half decades in frequency. As has been noted in previous similar observations, the time delay is approximately proportional to f^(-0.7), and at a fixed Fourier frequency the time delay of the hard X-rays compared to the softest energy channel tends to increase logarithmically with energy. Curiously, the 0.01-0.2 Hz coherence between the highest and lowest energy bands is actually slightly greater than the coherence between the second highest and lowest energy bands. We carefully describe all of the analysis techniques used in this paper, and we make comparisons of the data to general theoretical expectations. In a companion paper, we make specific comparisons to a Compton corona model that we have successfully used to describe the energy spectral data from this observation.

description: We have recently shown that a `sphere+disk' geometry Compton corona model provides a good description of Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) observations of the hard/low state of Cygnus X--1. Separately, we have analyzed the temporal data provided by RXTE. In this paper we consider the implications of this timing analysis for our best-fit `sphere+disk' Comptonization models. We focus our attention on the observed Fourier frequency-dependent time delays between hard and soft photons. We consider whether the observed time delays are: created in the disk but are merely reprocessed by the corona; created by differences between the hard and soft photon diffusion times in coronae with extremely large radii; or are due to `propagation' of disturbances through the corona. We find that the time delays are most likely created directly within the corona; however, it is currently uncertain which specific model is the most likely explanation. Models that posit a large coronal radius [or equivalently, a large Advection Dominated Accretion Flow (ADAF) region] do not fully address all the details of the observed spectrum. The Compton corona models that do address the full spectrum do not contain dynamical information. We show, however, that simple phenomenological propagation models for the observed time delays for these latter models imply extremely slow characteristic propagation speeds within the coronal region.

В исследование было включено 88 пациенток, разделённых на две группы в зависимости от наличия одностороннего или двустороннего поражения яичников. Основными параметрами для оценки овариального резерва были уровень антимюллерова гормона (АМГ) и количество антральных фолликулов (AFC), измеренные до и после операции. Результаты показали значительное снижение овариального резерва у всех пациенток, особенно в группе с двусторонним поражением яичников. Пациентки с односторонним эндометриозом продемонстрировали более быстрое восстановление овариального резерва в течение 12 месяцев после операции. Выводы подчёркивают необходимость индивидуализированного подхода к лечению и разработки щадящих хирургических методик для сохранения репродуктивной функции у пациенток с эндометриозом.

description: In this paper we solve the problem: how to determine maximal allowable errors, possible for signals and parameters of each element of a network proceeding from the condition that the vector of output signals of the network should be calculated with given accuracy? "Back-propagation of accuracy" is developed to solve this problem. The calculation of allowable errors for each element of network by back-propagation of accuracy is surprisingly similar to a back-propagation of error, because it is the backward signals motion, but at the same time it is very different because the new rules of signals transformation in the passing back through the elements are different. The method allows us to formulate the requirements to the accuracy of calculations and to the realization of technical devices, if the requirements to the accuracy of output signals of the network are known.

description: The Mundurucu live in the Amazon valley of Brazil. This entry focuses specifically on the Mundurucu village of Cabrua--located in what is now known as the Tapanjós River region of the Brazillian state of Pará--around the time of 1850. Mundurucu villages are autonomous, but come together for activities such as warfare and important ceremonies. Most Mundurucu villages have at least one religious specialist, known as a shaman, who has a close connection to the supernatural world and is the only individual capable of communicating with supernatural beings. The three categories of supernatural beings are souls of the dead, various malignant/mischievous beings, and the spirit mothers of game animals. The most important category is the spirit mothers of game animals, which include the generic spirit mother of all game animals, as well as specific mothers of various species. These spirit mothers are propitiated through ceremonies (led by shamen) in order to maintain the well-being of the community. For the Mundurucu, religion permeates most aspects of life. Consequently, this entry considers the religious group to be coterminous with society itself.

description: The study examined the state-by-state changes in the rates of exclusionary discipline of students with disabilities compared to their non-disabled peers. Historically, students with disabilities have been excluded at rates that are out of proportion with their population. This study used state discipline to investigate the current status of disproportional exclusion of students with disabilities and if there are any regional trends in the discipline of students receiving special education services. Results indicate that in both the 2009-2010 and 2011-2012 school years, there were significant differences between the rates at which students with and without disabilities were disciplined. Students with disabilities were suspended at higher rates during both school years and expelled at higher rates during the 2011-2012 school year. Results also suggest that rates of suspensions and expulsions continue to be high, particularly for students with disabilities. Findings may help states and schools develop policies that promote fair discipline of students with disabilities.

description: Practitioners of the performance form “InterPlay” utilize dance, storytelling and song to build community and generate social change. I elucidate how this community of practitioners conceptualizes “social change.” I argue that the InterPlay social movement organizes around the application of play to performances of self in everyday life. I explore how the InterPlay non-profit corporation, Body Wisdom Inc., employs this technique to address racial justice in its organizational practices. I also examine how practitioners understand their use of this performance play in places of work, concluding that—even in these endeavors—they see social change as a process immanent to both individual people and the systems they create, not as the intervention of an autonomous external power. Ultimately, I argue that, within late capitalism, play should no longer be conceptualized as an activity separate from everyday sociality but as an immanent process of change constitutive of a socioaesthetic domain.
MOWING TO GROWING: TRANSFORMING A MUNICIPAL GOLF COURSE TO URBAN AGRICULTURE IN BALTIMORE CITY

subject: Urban Agriculture

description: This thesis demonstrates how landscape architects can transform underused golf course facilities located within cities for urban agriculture (UA). In the last decade more than 1000 golf courses have closed in the United States. Municipal golf courses represent some of the largest pieces of open space in cities and because of their inherent infrastructure they can provide the ideal location to support large-scale UA. In Southwest Baltimore large food deserts are a serious health concern and represent a lack of access to healthy food options for residents. Carroll Urban Agriculture Park is a design response resulting from a detailed analysis of the existing Carroll Park Golf Course and the surrounding community of Southwest Baltimore. The design will create an urban farm in a park-like setting to provide readily accessible healthy food options and various educational opportunities, and to support current and future urban agriculture related businesses in Baltimore.
IRANIAN EMBASSY AND AYANDEH CULTURAL CENTER ( EMBASSY OF THE FUTURE)
Creators: name: Ershad, Golnar
Publisher: name: Digital Repository at the University of Maryland
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Architecture
subject: FOS: Civil engineering

description: This thesis began with the assertion that future embassies will differ significantly from past and current embassies. Embassy of the Future is a place where people of two (or more) countries come together to learn and share their ideologies, perspectives, dictions and ultimately their humanity. Unlike the traditional embassy model where the focus is on representing the foreign country’s political and legal standing, this thesis asserts that future embassies will focus on representing cultural exchanges while promoting economic and cultural cooperation. In this new embassy model political and security matters should not dominate the cultural and humanitarian matters.  This thesis is exploring a proposal for the establishment of an Iranian Embassy in Washington D.C. The goal is to promote the Embassy of the Future concept through an attempt at utilizing an architectural structure to be the convening place for reconnecting and resolving conflicts between Iran and the U.S. It has been 36 years since both countries closed their embassies in one another’s countries.

description: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third leading cause of cancer-related death in the United States. Chemopreventive therapies could be effective way to treat CRC. Tolfenamic acid, one of the NSAIDs, shows anti-cancer activities in several types of cancer.  Aberrant Wnt/β-catenin regulation pathway is a major mechanism of colon tumorigenesis. Here, we sought to better define the mechanism by which tolfenamic acid suppresses colorectal tumorigenesis focusing on regulation of β-catenin pathway. Treatment of tolfenamic acid led to a down-regulation of β-catenin expression in dose dependent manner in human colon cancer cell lines without changing mRNA. MG132 inhibited tolfenamic acid-induced downregulation of β-catenin and exogenously overexpression β-catenin was stabilized in the presence of tolfenamic acid.  Tolfenamic acid induced an ubiquitin-mediated proteasomal degradation of β-catenin. In addition, tolfenamic acid treatment decreased transcriptional activity of β-catenin and expression of Smad2 and Smad3 while overexpression of Smad 2 inhibited tolfenamic acid-stimulated transcriptional activity of β-catenin. Moreover, tolfenamic acid decreased β-catenin target gene such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and cyclin D1. In summary, tolfenamic acid is a promising therapeutic drug targeting Smad 2-mediated downregulation of β-catenin in CRC.

subject: vacant building
subject: vacant lot

description: This thesis addresses contemporary gaps of vacancy within literature by using qualitative and quantitative methods and tools to determine the quantity, location, and interspatial relationships of vacant buildings and lots located in Baltimore Maryland. Spatial analyses were conducted to answer three questions of vacancy: 1) how many vacant lots and buildings exist, 2) whether there are spatial patterns of vacancy, such as clustering around geographic locations or within watersheds, and 3) how to prioritize intervention opportunities that respond to the city's larger issues? Using the city’s vacant lot and building data-sets, two concepts emerged from these investigations.  First, Utilized Landscapes as a classification system that identifies lands that serve a function but have un-traditional qualities that make them susceptible to being labeled “vacant.” Second, the development of Transitional Zones, geographical areas with a high density of vacant buildings or lots that should be prioritized.

subject: ruins

description: This thesis will examine ways to preserve ruinous structures, utilize their aesthetics, and design an interactive intervention that weaves the old and new together in a seamless way. Ruinous structures should not be seen as an eye-sore to the image of the city. In fact, it is a reminder of all the things the city has faced in the past.

            This thesis analyzes different ways that previous designers have rehabilitated pre-existing structures. These methods are applied to each potential site in order to determine which typology would prove most fruitful.

           Site selection followed specific criteria. The first is that the structure could not be a complete building. Second, the site should be part of a community. And third, the structure should be located in an urban area.

            By the end of this journey, this thesis seeks awareness having pre-existing structures woven into new designs, and as an opportunity to inspire.
Regenerative Aquaculture: Designing for Resilience of the Chesapeake Tidewater

subject: Resilience
subject: Stewardship

description: The Chesapeake Bay is out of balance. As the effects of decades of overharvesting, overdevelopment, and pollution have taken their toll, tidewater communities are confronted with a loss of culture, livelihood, and the environment in which they live. This thesis seeks to reframe the problem of regeneration of community and environment, through the use of resilient design.

Resilient design is the process of designing for an uncertain at risk future. Through resilient design, architecture and aquaculture can be combined with food culture to foster stewardship of place. This thesis will explore interconnectedness of tidewater food culture, the waterman culture, aquaculture, and regenerative design in an effort to generate a holistic solution.

The final product will consist of a methodology of planning for resilience at a framework scale, and will also propose an architectural solution that combines educational facilities with commercial aquaculture, to foster stewardship and regeneration in the Chesapeake Tidewater.
