description: Prompted by the increasing number of children accessing alternatives to mainstream education, this research project was designed to investigate the activity of parents as they engaged in choosing different forms of education for their four-year-old child. The intention was to highlight the individual and entangled activity of parental choice in the English system of education. Facet methodology facilitated an exploration of the multi-dimensionality of each parent’s lived experience. It allowed for flexibility within the research process that used open interviews to follow the narratives of six sets of parents while they were thinking about and making different educational choices for their child. This included home education, the local primary school, a creative education, a Steiner school, a Montessori school and an independent selective school. Drawing upon Vygotsky’s socio-cultural theory of individual activity as a framework for thinking about educational choice, combined with the new materialist concepts of intra-action and diffraction, the conceptual framework of ‘diffractive activity’ has been developed. Diffractive activity brings to the fore the role of history, society and relationalities within the activity of choice. It is built upon five principles of complexity, intra-action, diffraction, entanglement and movement. Findings cast the activity of educational choice as a complex process of coming to know, influenced by possibilities, relationalities and entanglements. It starts as an internal process of thinking where educational choice is not limited by practical circumstances but is open to different possibilities. Relationalities emphasise how choice is not a linear process but a dynamic, iterative and entangled process. Entanglements bring choice alive, as a lived experience, an activity that is threaded through time, space, and place. My conclusions are two-fold, firstly that educational choice does not begin with a choice of school, but is a relational activity of thinking about education, and secondly through the introduction of diffractive activity as a framework for thinking about individual human activity.

description: Objective: The transcription factor MITF (microphthalmia-associated transcription factor) is known to induce expression of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF1-alpha), which is involved in renal carcinogenesis. The MITF p.E318K mutation leads to deficient SUMOylation of MITF, resulting in enhanced activation of its target genes. A case-control study on melanoma patients who coincidentally were affected by renal cell carcinoma (RCC) has revealed an elevated risk for mutation carriers to be affected by one or both of these malignancies, suggesting a possible role for MITF p.E318K in renal carcinogenesis. The same study described an MITF mutation frequency of 1.5% in a small cohort of sporadic RCC, but comprehensive data on sporadic renal cell tumors are missing. We therefore tested a large cohort of sporadic renal tumors for MITF p.E318K mutation status. Methods: Genomic DNA was extracted from 426 formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded sporadic renal tumors that had been graded according to the 2004 WHO classification of renal tumors and staged according to the 2002 TNM classification. The tumor cohort was enriched with papillary and chromophobe RCC, and also contained benign oncocytomas. DNA was tested for MITF p.E318K by pyrosequencing. Results: Of 403 analyzable tumors, 402 renal tumors were wild-type ones, and only 1 case showed the MITF p.E318K mutation. This tumor was a clear-cell RCC (pT3b N0 M0 G3 according to the TNM classification 2002). The affected patient was male, 61 years old, and had no known coexisting malignancies. Conclusion: The MITF p.E318K mutation does not appear to play a major role in sporadic RCC carcinogenesis, but is possibly restricted to a rare subpopulation of inherited RCC. (C) 2016 S.

description: In 1995, the New Jersey Department of Health was requested to evaluate childhood cancer incidence in the Toms River section of Dover Township by the federal Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR). This report summarizes the findings of this Childhood Cancer Incidence Health Consultation. The study period was 1979-1995, and included in the study was any Ocean County resident under age 20 who was diagnosed with a new cancer during the study period. The study confirmed the elevation found in the earlier evaluation of childhood cancer incidence in the Dover area. The elevations were particular noted for leukemia and brain and CNS cancer, especially in the youngest female age group.

Year: 1994

description: This document contains the appendices associated with the final report from the Chromium Medical Surveillance Project (CMSP), which was designed to evaluate the extent of chromium exposure in Hudson County. The increased risk of lung cancer associated with human exposure to chromium contaminated soil and dust in parts of Hudson County is one of New Jersey's most significant hazardous waste problems. To date, 160 sites in the county have been identified as contaminated with chromium. Under the CMSP, the New Jersey Department of Health (NJDOH) established a screening program to identify the extent of exposure in people living and working near contaminated sites, with the goals of providing services to the potentially exposed population and assisting in decision-making regarding actions for exposure reduction. While the project established a low incidence of clinically observable chromium-induced health effects, there was evidence of low levels of exposure in some people living or working near the waste sites. However, given that only recent exposure is identifiable in chromium screening, and that the sites have already been subject to some remediation, it is impossible to detect the extent and impact of past exposure. These appendices contain site lists and maps; protocols, procedures and instruments; and a comparison of urine chromium decision-making methods.

description: Introduction: The study aimed to investigate oncological outcomes of patients with concomitant bladder cancer (BC) and urethral carcinoma. Methods: This is a multicenter series of 110 patients (74 men, 36 women) diagnosed with urethral carcinoma at 10 referral centers between 1993 and 2012. Kaplan Meier analysis was used to investigate the impact of BC on survival, and Cox regression multivariable analysis was performed to identify predictors of recurrence. Results: Synchronous BC was diagnosed in 13 (12%) patients, and the median follow-up was 21 months (interquartile range 4-48). Urethral cancers were of higher grade in patients with synchronous BC compared to patients with non-synchronous BC (p = 0.020). Patients with synchronous BC exhibited significantly inferior 3-year recurrence-free survival (RFS) compared to patients with non-synchronous BC (63.2 vs. 34.4%; p = 0.026). In multivariable analysis, inferior RFS was associated with clinically advanced nodal stage (p < 0.001), proximal tumor location (p < 0.001) and synchronous BC (p = 0.020). Conclusion: The synchronous presence of BC in patients diagnosed with urethral carcinoma has a significant adverse impact on RFS and should be an impetus for a multimodal approach. (C) 2016 5.

description: We introduce the Multiscale Voter Model (MVM) to investigate clan influence at multiple scale -- family, neighborhood, political party... -- in opinion formation on real complex networks. Clans, consisting of similar nodes, are constructed using a coarse-graining procedure on network embeddings that allows us to control for the length scale of interactions. We ran numerical simulations to monitor the evolution of MVM dynamics in real and synthetic networks, and identified a transition between a final stage of full consensus and one with mixed binary opinions. The transition depends on the scale of the clans and on the strength of their influence. We found that enhancing group diversity promotes consensus while strong kinship yields to metastable clusters of same opinion. The segregated domains, which signal opinion polarization, are discernible as spatial patterns in the hyperbolic embeddings of the networks. Our multiscale framework can be easily applied to other dynamical processes affected by scale and group influence.

description: Trout in the Classroom (TIC) is a supplementary educational activity supported by the NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife. Teachers using the program provide a unique experience for their students. The Division of Fish and Wildlife supplies brook trout eggs from the Pequest Trout Hatchery at no charge to teachers who want to raise trout in their classrooms. Raising trout in your classroom is a hands-on activity that engages students and helps to connect them to real-life water quality, fish and wildlife issues and problems, and inspires them to seek solutions. Hatching eggs in the classroom and watching fish develop from eggs to fry generates enthusiasm and helps develop caring attitudes about fish species and their habitats. The guide is divided into two parts: (1) Getting Started, and (2) Trout Activities in the Classroom; plus an Appendix.
An investigation of the structural relationships among employee autonomous motivation, job performance, and satisfaction at international hotel chains in China

Subjects: subject: Autonomous motivation

subject: PhD

description: As the Chinese hotel industry is now operating in a highly-competitive environment, international hotel chains in China need to focus on employee job performance and satisfaction in order to retain competitive advantage. This study aims to offer a theoretical model for, and assessment of, the structural relationships among employee autonomous motivation, job performance, and satisfaction at international hotel chains in China. In order to achieve the research aims of the study, the author employed mixed methods. Firstly, a total of 31 interviews were conducted to provide practical support and credibility for the theoretical model. Secondly, a survey was conducted in China, which provided 307 valid responses for use in assessment of the model. The key findings of this study are presented as follows: firstly, pay is not a motivator for employee job performance and satisfaction, while career development plays a significant role in job performance and satisfaction of employees; secondly, employees from the Western economic region of China are more autonomously motivated to engage in work and more satisfied in their present jobs than those from the Eastern economic region of China; thirdly, personality and transformational leadership were drivers of employee autonomous motivation which in turn contributes to employee job performance and satisfaction; fourthly, employees with high levels of performance enjoy good job satisfaction and develop positive guanxi with their supervisors; fifthly, transformational leadership has a strong impact on the development of positive supervisor-subordinate guanxi; finally, employee job performance mediated the relationship between employee autonomous motivation and employee job satisfaction, and supervisor-subordinate guanxi mediated the relationship between employee job performance and satisfaction. Based on these findings, both theoretical and practical implications have been developed. This study is one of the first to address how and why employee autonomous motivation, job performance, satisfaction, and supervisor-subordinate guanxi are associated at international hotel chains in China through analysing the direct and mediating relationships between constructs. Practical recommendations are provided for four types of stakeholders: employees are encouraged to work in the Chinese Western region and pay attention to both work-centric and off-work-centric behaviours, with the positive affect; the managements should focus on transformational leadership behaviours; the human resource department need to design effectively individual career development plan and organise specific training; IHCs are suggested to support the establishment of positive guanxi between subordinates and supervisors for individual career development.

description: The Atlantic County Master Plan is a comprehensive policy document providing goals and policy statements to guide growth and development of the County. Since Atlantic County covers 561 square miles, contains twenty three municipalities, and represents the collective views of the public, many of the initiatives of the Plan were written with a regional perspective. The Master Plan also recognizes that the County's development is the result of both market forces and regulatory oversight by a variety of agencies such as the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (CAFRA), the State Planning Commission (State Development and Redevelopment Plan), the Pinelands Commission (the Comprehensive Management Plan), and the New Jersey Department of Transportation, among others. As a result, this County Master Plan acknowledges the importance of working cooperatively with these agencies in addressing concerns which have regional impacts.  Within this plan the County will address several statewide programs which significantly affect County growth rates and development patterns.  Also, this Master Plan is being developed to fulfill the statutory requirements of the Pinelands Protection Act, N.J.S.A. 13:18A-1 et seq.

description: The study of fairness in multiwinner elections focuses on settings where candidates have attributes. However, voters may also be divided into predefined populations under one or more attributes (e.g., "California" and "Illinois" populations under the "state" attribute), which may be same or different from candidate attributes. The models that focus on candidate attributes alone may systematically under-represent smaller voter populations. Hence, we develop a model, DiRe Committee WinnerDetermination (DRCWD), which delineates candidate and voter attributes to select a committee by specifying diversity and representation constraints and a voting rule. We analyze its computational complexity, inapproximability, and parameterized complexity. We develop a heuristic-based algorithm, which finds the winning DiRe committee in under two minutes on 63% of the instances of synthetic datasets and on 100% of instances of real-world datasets. We present an empirical analysis of the running time, feasibility, and utility traded-off. Overall, DRCWD motivates that a study of multiwinner elections should consider both its actors, namely candidates and voters, as candidate-specific models can unknowingly harm voter populations, and vice versa. Additionally, even when the attributes of candidates and voters coincide, it is important to treat them separately as diversity does not imply representation and vice versa. This is to say that having a female candidate on the committee, for example, is different from having a candidate on the committee who is preferred by the female voters, and who themselves may or may not be female.

Azimuthal anisotropy of D meson production in Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}} = 2.76$ TeV

description: The production of the prompt charmed mesons $D^0$, $D^+$ and $D^{*+}$ relative to the reaction plane was measured in Pb-Pb collisions at a centre-of-mass energy per nucleon-nucleon collision of $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}} = 2.76$ TeV with the ALICE detector at the LHC. D mesons were reconstructed via their hadronic decays at central rapidity in the transverse momentum ($p_{\rm T}$) interval of 2-16 GeV/$c$. The azimuthal anisotropy is quantified in terms of the second coefficient $v_2$ in a Fourier expansion of the D meson azimuthal distribution, and in terms of the nuclear modification factor $R_{\rm AA}$, measured in the direction of the reaction plane and orthogonal to it. The $v_2$ coefficient was measured with three different methods and in three centrality classes in the interval 0-50%. A positive $v_2$ is observed in mid-central collisions (30-50% centrality class), with an mean value of $0.204_{-0.036}^{+0.099}$ (tot.unc.) in the interval $2 < p_{\rm T} < 6$ GeV/$c$, which decreases towards more central collisions (10-30% and 0-10% classes). The positive $v_2$ is also reflected in the nuclear modification factor, which shows a stronger suppression in the direction orthogonal to the reaction plane for mid-central collisions. The measurements are compared to theoretical calculations of charm quark transport and energy loss in high-density strongly-interacting matter at high temperature. The models that include substantial elastic interactions with an expanding medium provide a good description of the observed anisotropy. However, they are challenged to simultaneously describe the strong suppression of high-$p_{\rm T}$ yield of D mesons in central collisions and their azimuthal anisotropy in non-central collisions.

description: As we approach the era of quantum advantage, when quantum computers (QCs) can outperform any classical computer on particular tasks, there remains the difficult challenge of how to validate their performance. While algorithmic success can be easily verified in some instances such as number factoring or oracular algorithms, these approaches only provide pass/fail information for a single QC. On the other hand, a comparison between different QCs on the same arbitrary circuit provides a lower-bound for generic validation: a quantum computation is only as valid as the agreement between the results produced on different QCs. Such an approach is also at the heart of evaluating metrological standards such as disparate atomic clocks. In this paper, we report a cross-platform QC comparison using randomized and correlated measurements that results in a wealth of information on the QC systems. We execute several quantum circuits on widely different physical QC platforms and analyze the cross-platform fidelities.

description: Outlier detection is one of the most important processes taken to create good, reliable data in machine learning. The most methods of outlier detection leverage an auxiliary reconstruction task by assuming that outliers are more difficult to be recovered than normal samples (inliers). However, it is not always true, especially for auto-encoder (AE) based models. They may recover certain outliers even outliers are not in the training data, because they do not constrain the feature learning. Instead, we think outlier detection can be done in the feature space by measuring the feature distance between outliers and inliers. We then propose a framework, MCOD, using a memory module and a contrastive learning module. The memory module constrains the consistency of features, which represent the normal data. The contrastive learning module learns more discriminating features, which boosts the distinction between outliers and inliers. Extensive experiments on four benchmark datasets show that our proposed MCOD achieves a considerable performance and outperforms nine state-of-the-art methods.

The New Jersey Department of Health (NJDOH) designed and conducted a screening project, named the Chromium Medical Surveillance Project (CMSP), to find out if exposure to chromium was occurring and to provide medical evaluations to people who live and/or work on or near chromium waste sites. To date, more than 160 separate waste sites containing chromium smelting slag have been identified in and around Hudson County. This document is a summary of the final technical report of the New Jersey Department of Health's Chromium Medical Surveillance Project.

description: Order-disorder phase transition of the ferromagnetic Ising model is investigated on a series of two-dimensional lattices that have negative Gaussian curvatures. Exceptional lattice sites of coordination number seven are distributed on the triangular lattice, where the typical distance between the nearest exceptional sites is proportional to an integer parameter $n$. Thus, the corresponding curvature is asymptotically proportional to $- n^{-2}_{~}$. Spontaneous magnetization and specific heat are calculated by means of the corner transfer matrix renormalization group method. For all the finite $n$ cases, we observe the mean-field-like phase transition. It is confirmed that the entanglement entropy at the transition temperature is linear in $(c / 6) \ln n$, where $c = 1 / 2$ is the central charge of the Ising model. The fact agrees with the presence of the typical length scale $n$ being proportional to the curvature radius.

description: In this thesis, I explore the meanings and experience of health and well-being in the lives of individuals with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). Taking an auto/biographical approach and utilising in-depth qualitative online interviews, I draw on the experience and narratives of seventeen individuals with IBD, including myself. The three main themes addressed are ‘Living with IBD’, ‘Becoming a Patient’, and ‘Coping and Control’. I explore how IBD influences individuals’ experience of personal relationships, and their medical encounters and treatments. I reflect on how and why these factors arise and the effect they may have upon the disease and its management and on individuals’ feelings of well-being more generally. I look at the resulting illness narratives and the impact of IBD on the daily life experience and the identity of the individual. I interrogate existing research and add to it from my analysis. Throughout, the research highlights the importance of acknowledging the impact of biographical disruption on the life experience and identity of individuals along with changing illness narratives. There are implications for future research and for policy, including the time taken to reach diagnosis, the use of IBD guidelines in diagnosis and treatment, and patient control and choice as a contributing factor to influence future guidelines and treatment plans.

description: Pointwise accurate numerical methods are constructed and analysed for three classes of singularly perturbed first order transport problems. The methods involve piecewise-uniform Shishkin meshes and the numerical approximations are shown to be parameter-uniformly convergent in the maximum norm. A transport problem from the modelling of fluid-particle interaction is formulated and used as a test problem for these numerical methods. Numerical results are presented to illustrate the performance of the numerical methods and to confirm the theoretical error bounds established in the paper.

Self-ordering dynamics of ultracold atoms in multicolored cavity fields

description: We study light induced spatial crystallization of ultracold quantum particles confined along the axis of a high-$Q$ linear cavity via a transverse multicolor pump using numerical simulations. Whenever a pump frequency is tuned close to resonance with a longitudinal cavity mode, the dynamics favors bistable spatial particle ordering into a Bragg grating at a wavelength distance. Simultaneous pumping at several resonant frequencies fosters competition between the different spatial lattice orders, exhibiting complex nonlinear field dynamics involving several metastable atom-field states. For few particles even superpositions of different spatial orders entangled with different light mode amplitudes appear. By a proper choice of trap geometry and pump frequencies a broad variety of many particle Hamiltonians with a nontrivial long range coupling can be emulated in such a setup. When applying quantum Monte Carlo wave function simulations to study time evolution we find simultaneous super radiant scattering into several light modes and the buildup of strong non-classical atom field correlations.

description: Spectroscopic redshift surveys offer great prospects for constraining the dark sector in cosmology. Future surveys will however be both deep and wide and will thus require an analysis in 3-dimensional spherical geometry. We review and compare several methods which have been proposed in the literature for this purpose, focusing in particular on implementations of the spherical harmonic tomography (SHT) power spectrum $C^{i j}_{l}$ and the spherical Fourier Bessel (SFB) power spectrum $C_{l} (k, k')$. Using a Fisher analysis, we compare the forecasted constraints on cosmological parameters using these statistics. These constraints typically rely on approximations such as the Limber approximation and make specific choices in the numerical implementation of each statistic. Using a series of toy models, we explore the applicability of these approximations and study the sensitivity of the SHT and SFB statistics to the details of their implementation. In particular, we show that overlapping redshift bins may improve cosmological constraints using the SHT statistic when the number of bins is small, and that the SFB constraints are quite robust to changes in the assumed distance-redshift relation. We also find that the SHT can be tailored to be more sensitive to modes at redshifts close to the survey boundary, while the SFB appears better suited to capture information beyond the smooth shape of the power spectrum. In this context, we discuss the pros and cons of the different techniques and their impact on the design and analysis of future wide field spectroscopic surveys.
