Understanding the influence of organizational culture and group dynamics on organizational change and learning
Creators: name: Lucas, Colleen
Publisher: name: University of Calgary
Year: 2004

description: Bibliography: p. 145-154
description: This case study investigated the relationship between organizational culture, group dynamics, and organizational learning in the context of organizational change. Organizational change requires a change in organizational behaviour; a change in behaviour that is based on some form of learning. However, psychological and organizational factors often combine to make organizations and their members resist change. Characteristics of an organization's culture and groups within that culture can influence how individuals and work groups experience and make sense of organizational change initiatives and how that subsequently influences their learning. A case study was used to examine what characteristics within an organization's culture and groups influenced the groups' learning in the context of a planned organizational change. The organization described in this case study was the emergency services department (fire and medical response) of a small municipality. The department's management group introduced an Integrated Services Model (ISM) within the department. This model called for the fire and medical response services to be combined such that all personnel were fully trained in both fire and emergency medical response and able to respond to both types of calls. The analysis of this case study extends research in the area of group and organizational learning by identifying themes such as (1) the effect of group level phenomenon on responses to change and learning, (2) the influence of occupational cultures on group members' sensemaking, and (3) how power differentials between groups influence group members' response to change. The area of organizational learning would benefit from further research examining these factors and applying a systems perspective to understanding complex organizational structures at different levels within the system and how these subsequently influence the learning that occurs.

description: We discuss short-baseline electron and muon neutrino disappearance searches into sterile neutrinos at a Very Low Energy Neutrino Factory (VLENF) with a muon energy between about two and four GeV. A lesson learned from reactor experiments, such as Double Chooz and Daya Bay, is to use near and far detectors with identical technologies to reduce the systematical errors. We therefore derive the physics results from a combined near-far detector fit and illustrate that uncertainties on cross sections x efficiencies can be eliminated in a self-consistent way. We also include the geometry of the setup, i.e., the extension of the decay straight and the muon decay kinematics relevant at the near detector, and we demonstrate that these affect the sensitivities for Delta m^2 > 30 eV^2, where oscillations take place already in the near detector. Compared to appearance searches, we find that the sensitivity depends on the locations of both detectors and the muon energy, where the near detector should be as close as possible to the source, and the far detector at about 500 to 800m. In order to exclude the currently preferred parameter region, at least 10^19 useful muon decays per polarity are needed for E_mu=2 GeV, or, alternatively, a higher muon energy can be used.

description: Bibliography: p. 141-156
description: Bat species diversity and distribution vary with climate and with behaviour of sexes and reproductive classes. Furthermore, a bat's ability to deal with habitat structural complexity is influenced by body size, wing morphology and echolocation-call structure. I examined factors influencing community structure and habitat use of forest-dwelling bats among forests of different biogeoclimatic ecosystem zones and ages in southwestern British Columbia, using mistnetting and ultrasonic detection. Species composition varied with ecosystem zone, but not consistently between sampling techniques. Both ecosystem zone and forest age influenced habitat use by Myotis species. Black cottonwood stands and lower elevation forests were important for foraging Myotis. Older forests were more important to foraging Myotis species than young and medium-aged forests; however, foraging bats strongly preferred riparian areas. Habitat use by species of large bats did not follow clear patterns among ecosystem zones or forest ages, and results suggest that they may avoid forest interiors.

description: UGC 12281 has been classified as having a pure disk and being a low surface brightness galaxy (LSBG), thus being an obvious member of the so-called superthin galaxies. At the same time it represents an extremely untypical type of LSBG due to its remarkable amount of current star formation and evidence for extraplanar ionized gas. This makes it become a perfect tool to investigate the triggering of star formation in LSB galaxies, located in an alleged isolated area. By means of deep photometry and long-slit spectroscopy we analyse the H$α$ halo and verify the existence of a potential dwarf companion which we found on processed SDSS images.

description: Ecological systems comprise an astonishing diversity of species that cooperate or compete with each other forming complex mutual dependencies. The minimum requirements to maintain a large species diversity on long time scales are in general unknown. Using lichen communities as an example, we propose a model for the evolution of mutually excluding organisms that compete for space. We suggest that chain-like or cyclic invasions involving three or more species open for creation of spatially separated sub-populations that subsequently can lead to increased diversity. In contrast to its non-spatial counterpart, our model predicts robust co-existence of a large number of species, in accordance with observations on lichen growth. It is demonstrated that large species diversity can be obtained on evolutionary timescales, provided that interactions between species have spatial constraints. In particular, a phase transition to a sustainable state of high diversity is identified.

Publisher: name: Environmental Design
Year: 2004

description: Bibliography: p. 5-7
description: As intangible as the concepts of beauty, fashion, and brand image are, they are commonly employed as powerful enticements to buy. Consequently, from a market perspective, design is frequently viewed simply as a sales tool. It is precisely the importance of something as seemingly benign as a product's aesthetic image that is explored in this MOP. Using design as the means of inquiry and discussion, the project looks into aspects of design and consumption that have broader implications than aesthetic choice and brand image. Design is a communicative art and designed artefacts reflect the nature of the culture in which they are conceived. These artefacts carry with them meanings related to social values, cultural priorities, and societal understandings. These values today are inextricably linked with the ubiquitous images of our consumer marketing industry. The effect of advertising has contributed to consumerism becoming an increasingly dominant source of social meaning. Objects today are valued less for what they do for us and more for what they say about us. What we are really consuming is image. The study has three key components: Cultural Exploration - Consisting of three independent essays, all related to consumption, each written from a different perspective: Individual, Socio-economic, and Professional. Design Investigation - Graphic explorations question contemporary consumerism, branding and product identity and highlight its environmental and social repercussions. Design Subversion - Product designs aimed at subverting notions of facade and desire as a means to challenge the way we view consumer objects in contemporary consumer society. Keywords: image, identity, consumption, voyeur, exhibitionist, media, meaning, communication, subversion, connection.

description: This volume consists of the proceedings of the 5th Workshop on Formal Languages and Analysis of Contract-Oriented Software (FLACOS'11). The FLACOS Workshops serve as annual meeting places to bring together researchers and practitioners working on language-based solutions to contract-oriented software development. High-level models of contracts are needed as a tool to negotiate contracts and provide services conforming to them. This Workshop provides language-based solutions to the above issues through formalization of contracts, design of appropriate abstraction mechanisms, and formal analysis of contract languages and software. The program of this edition consists of 5 regular papers and 3 invited presentations. Detailed information about the FLACOS 2011 Workshop can be found at http://flacos2011.lcc.uma.es/. The 5th edition of the FLACOS Workshop was organized by the University of Málaga. It took place in Málaga, Spain, during September 22-23, 2011.

description: Introduction Malaysia has been actively battling hepatitis C since 2016, primarily through partnerships with access-oriented nonprofit organizations and drug price control by compulsory licensing of sofosbuvir, a patented direct-acting antiviral. This study evaluated the impact of such initiatives on the treatment coverage, health expenditure of the government, and clinical outcomes of patients. Methods The data contributed by 144 public hospitals across the country was used to assess the trend changes in the number of hepatitis C patients treated and the corresponding drug expenditure between 2013 and 2019 (before and after government-driven interventions). The information on the effectiveness of the sofosbuvir-daclatasvir regimen was also gathered from medical records of hepatitis C patients, who sought care from 16 selected hospitals between April 2018 and March 2020. Results While the number of hepatitis C patients receiving treatment increased by >10 times (from 299 in 2013 to 3,116 in 2019; p<0.001), drug expenditure on hepatitis C relative to the overall health expenditure was not significantly expanded over time (p=0.094). Treatment completion was reported in 91.1% of the 1,797 patients studied for their clinical outcomes, who recorded a sustained virologic response (complete cure) rate of 95.4% (95% CI: 94.2, 96.7%). Treatment outcomes varied across neither viral genotypes nor cirrhosis status. Nevertheless, an age ≥50 years elevated the treatment failure risk (adjusted OR: 2.13; 95% CI: 1.16, 3.92). Conclusion The findings demonstrate the sustainability and scalability of the existing hepatitis C care model in Malaysia, along with the great real-world effectiveness of the treatment.

description: We present results from an analysis of stellar population parameters for 7132 galaxies in the 6dFGS Fundamental Plane (FP) sample. We bin the galaxies along the axes, $v_1$, $v_2$, and $v_3$, of the tri-variate Gaussian to which we have fit the galaxy distribution in effective radius, surface brightness, and central velocity dispersion (FP space), and compute median values of stellar age, [Fe/H], [Z/H], and [$α$/Fe]. We determine the directions of the vectors in FP space along which each of the binned stellar population parameters vary most strongly. In contrast to previous work, we find stellar population trends not just with velocity dispersion and FP residual, but with radius and surface brightness as well. The most remarkable finding is that the stellar population parameters vary through the plane ($v_1$ direction) and across the plane ($v_3$ direction), but show no variation at all along the plane ($v_2$ direction). The $v_2$ direction in FP space roughly corresponds to `luminosity density'. We interpret a galaxy's position along this vector as being closely tied to its merger history, such that early-type galaxies with lower luminosity density are more likely to have undergone major mergers. This conclusion is reinforced by an examination of the simulations of Kobayashi (2005), which show clear trends of merger history with $v_2$.

description: Existence, stability and dynamics of soliton complexes, centered at the site of a single transverse link connecting two parallel 2D (two-dimensional) lattices, are investigated. The system with the on-site cubic self-focusing nonlinearity is modeled by the pair of discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equations linearly coupled at the single site. Symmetric, antisymmetric and asymmetric complexes are constructed by means of the variational approximation (VA) and numerical methods. The VA demonstrates that the antisymmetric soliton complexes exist in the entire parameter space, while the symmetric and asymmetric modes can be found below a critical value of the coupling parameter. Numerical results confirm these predictions. The symmetric complexes are destabilized via a supercritical symmetry-breaking pitchfork bifurcation, which gives rise to stable asymmetric modes. The antisymmetric complexes are subject to oscillatory and exponentially instabilities in narrow parametric regions. In bistability areas, stable antisymmetric solitons coexist with either symmetric or asymmetric ones.

description: Late time cosmological solutions for scalar field model with kinetic and Gauss Bonnet couplings are considered. The quintom scenario is realized with and without Big Rip singularity. We find that under specific choice of the Gauss Bonnet coupling, the model considerable simplifies, giving rise to solutions where the kinetic term is proportional to the square of the Hubble parameter. This allows to reconstruct the model for a suitable cosmological evolution. We considered a solution that matches the observed behavior of the equation of state, while Big Rip singularity may be present or absent, depending on the parameters of the solution. Evolutionary scenarios known as Little Rip, have also been considered.

description: Radiative properties of collective electronic states in a one dimensional atomic chain are investigated. Radiative corrections are included with emphasize put on the effect of the chain size through the dependence on both the number of atoms and the lattice constant. The damping rates of collective states are calculated in considering radiative effects for different values of the lattice constant relative to the atomic transition wave length. Especially the symmetric state damping rate as a function of the number of the atoms is derived. The emission pattern off a finite linear chain is also presented. The results can be adopted for any chain of active material, e.g., a chain of semiconductor quantum dots or organic molecules on a linear matrix.

description: Mukai showed that projective models of Brill-Noether general polarized K3 surfaces of genus $6-10$ and $12$ are obtained as linear sections of projective homogeneous varieties, and that their hyperplane sections are Brill-Noether general curves. In general, the question, raised by Knutsen, and attributed to Mukai, of whether the Brill-Noether generality of any polarized K3 surface $(S,H)$ is equivalent to the Brill-Noether generality of smooth curves $C$ in the linear system $|H|$, is still open. Using Lazarsfeld-Mukai bundle techniques, we answer this question in the affirmative for polarized K3 surfaces of genus $\leq 19$, which provides a new and unified proof even in the genera where Mukai models exist.

description: We propose a protocol for conditional suppression of losses in direct quantum state transmission over a lossy quantum channel. The method works by noiselessly attenuating the input state prior to transmission through a lossy channel followed by noiseless amplification of the output state. The procedure does not add any noise hence it keeps quantum coherence. We experimentally demonstrate it in the subspace spanned by vacuum and single-photon states, and consider its general applicability.

Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The integrated brightness of the Sun shows variability on time-scales from minutes to decades. This variability is mainly caused by pressure mode oscillations, by granulation and by dark spots and bright faculae on the surface of the Sun. By analyzing the frequency spectrum of the integrated brightness we can obtain greater knowledge about these phenomena. It is shown how the frequency spectrum of the integrated brightness of the Sun in the frequency range from 0.1 to 3.2 mHz shows clear signs of both granulation, faculae and p-mode oscillations and that the measured characteristic time-scales and amplitudes of the acoustic signals from granulation and faculae are consistent with high-resolution observations of the solar surface. Using 13 years of observations of the Sun's integrated brightness from the VIRGO instrument on the SOHO satellite it is shown that the significance of the facular component varies with time and that it has a significance above 0.99 around half the time. Furthermore, an analysis of the temporal variability in the measured amplitudes of both the granulation, faculae and p-mode oscillation components in the frequency spectrum reveals that the amplitude of the p-mode oscillation component shows variability that follows the solar cycles, while the amplitudes of the granulation and facular components show signs of quasi-annual and quasi-biennial variability, respectively.

description: We consider dynamically generated spin squeezing in interacting bimodal condensates. We show that particle losses and non-zero temperature effects in a multimode theory completely change the scaling of the best squeezing for large atom numbers. We present the new scalings and we give approximate analytical expressions for the squeezing in the thermodynamic limit. Besides reviewing our recent theoretical results, we give here a simple physical picture of how decoherence acts to limit the squeezing. We show in particular that under certain conditions the decoherence due to losses and non-zero temperatureacts as a simple dephasing.

description: We present the holographic predictions for cosmological 3-point correlators, involving both scalar and tensor modes, for a universe which started in a non-geometric holographic phase. Holographic formulae relate the cosmological 3-point functions to stress tensor correlation functions of a holographically dual three-dimensional non-gravitational QFT. We compute these correlators at 1-loop order for a theory containing massless scalars, fermions and gauge fields, and present an extensive analysis of the constraints due to Ward identities showing that they uniquely determine the correlators up to a few constants. We define shapes for all cosmological bispectra and compare the holographic shapes to the slow-roll ones, finding that some are distinguishable while others, perhaps surprisingly, are not.

Pathways to competence in childhood and adolescence: the role of parenting quality and social support

description: Bibliography: p. 80-91
description: A representative Canadian cohort from the National Longitudinal Study of Children and Youth was studied at three points in time when the young people were aged 10/11(.M=l0.47, N=2147), 12/13(M=12.42, N=1976), and 14/15(M=14.45, N=l 762). Both person-focussed analyses (independent t-tests and analyses of variance) and variable-based analyses (latent variable path models) were utilized to investigate the role of parenting quality and the young person's social support in contributing to their competence (emotional health and behavioural functioning) in relation to parent-related adversity over time. An index of parent-related adversity was created based upon six criteria: parental depression, marital dissatisfaction, parental illness, parent's undesirable unemployment, single parent status, and the presence of alcohol abuse in the family. Person-focussed results revealed that parent-related adversity at age 10/11 was related to both domains of child competence at that time. Parent reports of their own experiences of adversity at that time were also related to the children's view of their own externalizing behaviour two years later when the children were aged 12/13. However, by ages 14/15 there was no longer an observable relationship between adversity and competence. Analyses of variance were conducted on the data when the children were aged 10/11 with the dependent variable of child competence. Main effects were discovered for parenting quality (E.(1)=15.93, 12<.00l) and social support (E.(1)=6.50, 12<.05), but no interaction effects were revealed between either of these factors and adversity group. These findings supported the identification of parenting quality and social support as general resource variables for young people's competence, rather than protective variables in the face of parent-related adversity in this study. Variable-based analyses indicated that the proposed latent variable path model of resilience was not a particularly good fit with the data. However, a modified latent variable path model of competence with parenting quality and social support contributing to behavioural and emotional functioning was a strong fit for the data at ages 12/13 and became an even stronger fit at ages 14/15. Therefore, person-focussed and variable-based analyses in this study converged to highlight the value of parenting quality and social support for young people, regardless of their exposure to adversity.

We demonstrate that the change of the Fermi level by manipulating the gate electric field significantly affects not only the rate of molecular adsorption but also the carrier-scattering strength of adsorbed molecules. Exploration of the charge transfer kinetics reveals the electrochemical nature of the oxygen adsorption on BLG.

description: Vegetation development was described forty-five years after clearcutting of Pinus contorta Dougl. ex Loud, in the Upper Boreal-Cordilleran ecoregion of west-central Alberta. Understory species composition and abundance in 143 clearcut stands were analysed in relation to stand age, and to crown cover as measured by densiometer. Twenty-four stands were used to describe the native vegetation. The most abundant species were common to both clearcut and native stands, and the vegetation of older clearcut stands approximated that of native stands. Although early serai species abundance was not strongly related to increasing crown cover and stand age, later serai species abundance increased. Time- and crown cover-based models of vegetation development were presented and incorporated elements from existing physiognomic and successional models. It is proposed that crown cover could be manipulated to reach management objectives related to wildlife habitat or landscape reclamation.

description: The dynamics of coupled intermittent maps is used to model the correlated structure of genomic sequences. The use of intermittent maps, as opposed to other simple chaotic maps, is particularly suited for the production of long range correlation features which are observed in the genomic sequences of higher eucaryotes. A weighted network approach to symbolic sequences is introduced and it is shown that coupled intermittent polynomial maps produce degree and link size distributions with power law exponents similar to the ones observed in real genomes. The proposed network approach to symbolic sequences is generic and can be applied to any symbol sequence (artificial or natural).

Acute Myocardial Infarction

description: Introduction Rehospitalizations after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) are common, costly and affect patients' quality of life. Hospital readmission rates reflect the quality of patient care. This study aims to evaluate the rate, patterns and predictors of AMI readmissions in Malaysian public hospitals. Methods Retrospective longitudinal study using data from population-based registry, 'Sistem Maklumat Rawatan Perubatan' in Malaysian Healthcare Data Warehouse database. Discharges coded I21 under ICD-10-CM between 1st January to 31st December 2016 were reviewed. Outcome was any first readmission after index AMI admission for AMI-specific cause in any public hospital. Results Among 18,102 patients who survived index AMI admission, 1,208 (mean age 58.34 years, 79.7% males) were readmitted within one year. Median time to first readmission was 29.0 days. 30-day readmission rate was 3.37%. After adjustment for potential confounders, ≤ 2 days length of stay (aOR 1.85; 95% CI 1.37, 2.51) and intensive care unit admission (aOR 1.35; 95% CI 1.04, 1.77) were associated with increased risk of readmission within 30 days. ≥ 65 years old (aOR 1.41; 95% CI 1.15, 1.74), Indian ethnicity (aOR 1.39; 95% CI 1.12, 1.73), ≤ 2 days length of stay (aOR 1.41; 95% CI 1.13, 1.76) and had STEMI (aOR 1.24; 95% CI 1.01, 1.53) or NSTEMI (aOR 1.15; 95% CI 1.02, 1.30) were associated with increased risk of hospital readmission within a year. Discussion / Conclusion First study of its kind in Malaysia and will be the foundation for future AMI readmission studies. This will assist policymakers and healthcare practitioners in evaluating the quality of public hospitals' services while reducing healthcare costs.

description: We describe a new type of scanning probe microscope based on a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) that resides on the apex of a sharp tip. The SQUID-on-tip is glued to a quartz tuning fork which allows scanning at a tip-sample separation of a few nm. The magnetic flux sensitivity of the SQUID is 1.8 μ_0/Hz^{1/2} and the spatial resolution is about 200 nm, which can be further improved. This combination of high sensitivity, spatial resolution, bandwidth, and the very close proximity to the sample provides a powerful tool for study of dynamic magnetic phenomena on the nanoscale. The potential of the SQUID-on-tip microscope is demonstrated by imaging of the vortex lattice and of the local AC magnetic response in superconductors.

description: Characterising stellar and circumstellar properties of embedded young stellar objects (YSOs) is mandatory for understanding the early stages of the stellar evolution. This task requires the combination of both spectroscopy and photometry, covering the widest possible wavelength range, to disentangle the various protostellar components and activities. As part of the POISSON project, we present a multi-wavelength spectroscopic and photometric investigation of embedded YSOs in L1641, aimed to derive the stellar parameters and evolutionary stages and to infer their accretion properties. Our database includes low-resolution optical-IR spectra from the NTT and Spitzer (0.6-40 um) and photometric data covering a spectral range from 0.4 to 1100 um, which allow us to construct the YSOs spectral energy distributions (SEDs) and to infer the main stellar parameters. The SED analysis allows us to group our 27 YSOs into nine Class I, eleven Flat, and seven Class II objects. However, on the basis of the derived stellar properties, only six Class I YSOs have an age of ~10^5 yr, while the others are older 5x10^5-10^6 yr), and, among the Flat sources, three out of eleven are more evolved objects (5x10^6-10^7 yr), indicating that geometrical effects can significantly modify the SED shapes. Inferred mass accretion rates (Macc) show a wide range of values (3.6x10^-9 to 1.2x10^-5 M_sun yr^-1), which reflects the age spread observed in our sample. Average values of mass accretion rates, extinction, and spectral indices decrease with the YSO class. The youngest YSOs have the highest Macc, whereas the oldest YSOs do not show any detectable jet activity in either images and spectra. We also observe a clear correlation among the YSO Macc, M*, and age, consistent with mass accretion evolution in viscous disc models.

description: The 0+ ground state of the 10He nucleus produced in the 3H(8He,p)10He reaction was found at about $2.1\pm0.2$ MeV (Γ~ 2 MeV) above the three-body 8He+n+n breakup threshold. Angular correlations observed for 10He decay products show prominent interference patterns allowing to draw conclusions about the structure of low-energy excited states. We interpret the observed correlations as a coherent superposition of the broad 1- state having a maximum at energy 4-6 MeV and the 2+ state above 6 MeV, setting both on top of the 0+ state "tail". This anomalous level ordering indicates that the breakdown of the N=8 shell known in 12Be thus extends also to the 10He system.

description: Granular media near jamming exhibit fascinating properties, which can be harnessed to create jammed-granulate metamaterials: materials whose characteristics arise not only from the shape and material properties of the particles at the microscale, but also from the geometric features of the packing. For the case of a bending beam made from jammed-granulate metamaterial, we study the impact of the particles' properties on the metamaterial's macroscopic mechanical characteristics. We find that the metamaterial's stiffness emerges from its volume fraction, in turn originating from its creation protocol; its ultimate strength corresponds to yielding of the force network. In contrast to many traditional materials, we find that macroscopic deformation occurs mostly through affine motion within the packing, aided by stress relieve through local plastic events, surprisingly homogeneously spread and persistent throughout bending.

description: We review the fabrication and key transport properties of graphene double layers, consisting of two graphene monolayers placed in close proximity, independently contacted, and separated by an ultra-thin dielectric. We outline a simple band structure model relating the layer densities to the applied gate and inter-layer biases, and show that calculations and experimental results are in excellent agreement both at zero and in high magnetic fields. Coulomb drag measurements, which probe the electron-electron scattering between the two layers reveal two distinct regime: (i) diffusive drag at elevated temperatures, and (ii) mesoscopic fluctuation-dominated drag at low temperatures. We discuss the Coulomb drag results within the framework of existing theories.

Macroscopic limits and phase transition in a system of self-propelled particles

description: We investigate systems of self-propelled particles with alignment interaction. Compared to previous work, the force acting on the particles is not normalized and this modification gives rise to phase transitions from disordered states at low density to aligned states at high densities. This model is the space inhomogeneous extension of a previous work by Frouvelle and Liu in which the existence and stability of the equilibrium states were investigated. When the density is lower than a threshold value, the dynamics is described by a non-linear diffusion equation. By contrast, when the density is larger than this threshold value, the dynamics is described by a hydrodynamic model for self-alignment interactions previously derived in Degond and Motsch. However, the modified normalization of the force gives rise to different convection speeds and the resulting model may lose its hyperbolicity in some regions of the state space.

description: Car-following behavior modeling is critical for understanding traffic flow dynamics and developing high-fidelity microscopic simulation models. Most existing impulse-response car-following models prioritize computational efficiency and interpretability by using a parsimonious nonlinear function based on immediate preceding state observations. However, this approach disregards historical information, limiting its ability to explain real-world driving data. Consequently, serially correlated residuals are commonly observed when calibrating these models with actual trajectory data, hindering their ability to capture complex and stochastic phenomena. To address this limitation, we propose a dynamic regression framework incorporating time series models, such as autoregressive processes, to capture error dynamics. This statistically rigorous calibration outperforms the simple assumption of independent errors and enables more accurate simulation and prediction by leveraging higher-order historical information. We validate the effectiveness of our framework using HighD and OpenACC data, demonstrating improved probabilistic simulations. In summary, our framework preserves the parsimonious nature of traditional car-following models while offering enhanced probabilistic simulations.

description: The identification, and subsequent discovery, of fast radio transients through blind-search surveys requires a large amount of processing power, in worst cases scaling as $\mathcal{O}(N^3)$. For this reason, survey data are generally processed offline, using high-performance computing architectures or hardware-based designs. In recent years, graphics processing units have been extensively used for numerical analysis and scientific simulations, especially after the introduction of new high-level application programming interfaces. Here we show how GPUs can be used for fast transient discovery in real-time. We present a solution to the problem of de-dispersion, providing performance comparisons with a typical computing machine and traditional pulsar processing software. We describe the architecture of a real-time, GPU-based transient search machine. In terms of performance, our GPU solution provides a speed-up factor of between 50 and 200, depending on the parameters of the search.
