description: We present a new method for inferring galaxy star formation histories (SFH) using machine learning methods coupled with two cosmological hydrodynamic simulations. We train Convolutional Neural Networks to learn the relationship between synthetic galaxy spectra and high resolution SFHs from the EAGLE and Illustris models. To evaluate our SFH reconstruction we use Symmetric Mean Absolute Percentage Error (SMAPE), which acts as a true percentage error in the low-error regime. On dust-attenuated spectra we achieve high test accuracy (median SMAPE $= 10.5\%$). Including the effects of simulated observational noise increases the error ($12.5\%$), however this is alleviated by including multiple realisations of the noise, which increases the training set size and reduces overfitting ($10.9\%$). We also make estimates for the observational and modelling errors. To further evaluate the generalisation properties we apply models trained on one simulation to spectra from the other, which leads to only a small increase in the error (median SMAPE $\sim 15\%$). We apply each trained model to SDSS DR7 spectra, and find smoother histories than in the VESPA catalogue. This new approach complements the results of existing SED fitting techniques, providing star formation histories directly motivated by the results of the latest cosmological simulations.

description: Managing the consumption of non-renewable and/or limited resources has become an important issue in many different settings. In this dissertation we explore the topic of resource cost aware scheduling. Unlike the purely scheduling problems, in the resource cost aware setting we are not only interested in a scheduling performance metric, but also the cost of the resources consumed to achieve a certain performance level. There are several ways in which the cost of non-renewal resources can be added into a scheduling problem. Throughout this dissertation we will focus in the case where the resource consumption cost is added, as part of the objective, to a scheduling performance metric such as weighted completion time and weighted tardiness among others. In our work we make several contributions to the problem of scheduling with non-renewable resources. For the specific setting in which only energy consumption is the important resource, our contributions are the following. We introduce a model that extends the previous energy cost models by allowing more general cost functions that can be job-dependent. We further generalize the problem by allowing arbitrary precedence constraints and release dates. We give approximation algorithms for minimizing an objective that is a combination of a scheduling metric, namely total weighted completion time and total weighted tardiness, and the total energy consumption cost. Our approximation algorithm is based on an interval-and-speed-indexed IP formulation. We solve the linear relaxation of this IP and we use this solution to compute a schedule. We show that these algorithms have small constant approximation ratios. Through experimental analysis we show that the empirical approximation ratios are much better than the theoretical ones and that in fact the solutions are close to optimal. We also show empirically that the algorithm can be used in additional settings not covered by the theoretical results, such as using flow time or an online setting, with good approximation and competitiveness ratios.

description: In many resource-rich countries, a common ground is the interplay of lack of infrastructure and high social inequalities that are critical for climate vulnerability. This thesis intersects frameworks of resilience and sustainability to study the impact of urban development that comes along with oil and gas industry investment in infrastructure and social responsibility.

This research discusses the impact and spatial implications of oil and gas industry involvement in the city of Soyo located in Angola, which is the second largest hydrocarbon exporter country in South Saharan Africa. The study incorporates mixed methodologies including qualitative analysis, mapping, and spatial analysis. It starts by analyzing and mapping the gas-industrial landscape of Soyo to visualize the industrial plant and ancillary infrastructures that shape the city (roads, airports, etc.) Next, it includes a land cover analysis to describe and quantify the urban expansion between 2002 and 2017. And finally, it includes a qualitative analysis based on interviews with local stakeholders such as urban planners, professionals from gas industries, academics, and nonprofit organization leaders. Findings discuss the positive and negative impacts of the LNG industry in Soyo through the lens of equity.

The study concludes by providing recommendations about mobility-related infrastructure, housing accommodations, and spatial implications of gas-founded infrastructure. Using the case of Soyo the study informs policymakers, urban planners, and public officials of relevant issues to consider when regulating and incentivizing sustainable and resilient planning in coastal resource-extraction cities.

We investigate in detail the behavior of the Hamming distance as well as of the distribution of orbit lengths as $N$ and $K$ are varied. We present numerical evidence for a phase transition in the behavior of the Hamming distance at a critical value $K_c\approx 1.65$ and also an analytic theory that yields the exact bounds on $1.5 \le K_c \le 2.$ We also discuss the large oscillations that we observe in the Hamming distance for $K

description: Parenting is a stressful endeavor that can be even more difficult for parents of individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) has become increasingly prevalent over the past 15 years, which has baffled researchers and frustrated parents. Respite can be important to help alleviate stress for parents of individuals with ASD, and serve as a break for them from the demands of parenting. The present study utilized a mixed methods design to study the effect of respite on caregiver well-being. Using quantitative data, the study examined the effects of a respite cruise vacation organized by a travel group called Autism on the Seas on various indices of well-being among 20 parents of children with ASD. Parents provided survey responses prior to the cruise (pre-cruise measure) and three months after the cruise (post-cruise measure). Variables included caregiver stress, caregiver self-efficiency, caregiver social network and family quality of life. It was hypothesized that the Autism on the Seas respite vacation experience would be related to increased well-being among caregivers, specifically decreased caregiver reports of stress, increased caregiver reports of social network, increased caregiver reports of family quality of life, and increased caregiver report of self-efficacy. The quantitative study found significant associations among the well-being variables, however no statistical difference between the caregivers’ reports of well-being on pre and post cruise measures. The qualitative component of the study aimed to describe perceptions of respite, barriers to respite-utilization, and aspects of respite that caregivers of children with ASD described as most beneficial. Six couples and one single father participated in the qualitative component of the study. Interview transcriptions were all analyzed through open coding and then axial coding to find data trends and themes. It was hypothesized that respite would bring positive experiences to caregivers, allowing caregivers to take time to maintain their own well-being psychologically and physically. The qualitative study revealed the themes of the centrality of trusted caregivers to parent’s willingness to accept respite, limited social networks of parent with children with ASD, and both caregiver well-being and child well-being and severity of ASD as important to parents’ use of respite programs such that parents of children with more severe ASD reported more trouble accessing respite care. Together, the study points to the need for future studies to investigate a broad range of types of respite programs for individuals with ASD and their families.

description: For point patterns observed in natura, spatial heterogeneity is more the rule than the exception. In numerous applications, this can be mathematically handled by the flexible class of log Gaussian Cox processes (LGCPs); in brief, a LGCP is a Cox process driven by an underlying log Gaussian random field (log GRF). This allows the representation of point aggregation, point vacuum and intermediate situations, with more or less rapid transitions between these different states depending on the properties of GRF. Very often, the covariance function of the GRF is assumed to be stationary. In this article, we give two examples where the sizes (that is, the number of points) and the spatial extents of point clusters are allowed to vary in space. To tackle such features, we propose parametric and semiparametric models of non-stationary LGCPs where the non-stationarity is included in both the mean function and the covariance function of the GRF. Thus, in contrast to most other work on inhomogeneous LGCPs, second-order intensity-reweighted stationarity is not satisfied and the usual two step procedure for parameter estimation based on e.g. composite likelihood does not easily apply. Instead we propose a fast three step procedure based on composite likelihood. We apply our modelling and estimation framework to analyse datasets dealing with fish aggregation in a reservoir and with dispersal of biological particles.

description: We study a coupled system of gravitational waves and a domain wall which is the boundary of a vacuum bubble in de Sitter spacetime. To treat the system, we use the metric junction formalism of Israel. We show that the dynamical degree of the bubble wall is lost and the bubble wall can oscillate only while the gravitational waves go across it. It means that the gravitational backreaction on the motion of the bubble wall can not be ignored.

description: Foundations seeking to have an impact on the most intractable of problems have spent the last half century experimenting with ways to become more strategic in their efforts. Though commendable, the resultant growth of the strategic philanthropy movement has instead become self-limiting, too often unable to grasp the true complexity of social change and therefore remaining inadequate to address it. In response, this thesis reviews the expanding literature of systems thinking, specifically excavating the contribution of social systems methodologies to the design of philanthropic portfolios. Global foundation grantmaking regarding the human rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, and intersex (LGBTI) communities is presented as a praxis in this respect. Comparing the theory of systems philanthropy with the evolving practice of LGBTI funders demonstrates the extent to which complex problems require a less rigid approach—one more attuned to the lifecycle of emergent solutions, a networked landscape, and the necessity of strategic decisionmaking being located on the frontlines rather than in the boardroom.

description: A complete and rigorous determination of the possible ground states for D-wave pairing Bose condensates is presented, using a geometrical invariant theory approach to the problem. The order parameter is argued to be a vector, transforming according to a ten dimensional real representation of the group $G=${\bf O}$_3\otimes${\bf U}$_1\times $. We determine the equalities and inequalities defining the orbit space of this linear group and its symmetry strata, which are in a one-to-one correspondence with the possible distinct phases of the system. We find 15 allowed phases (besides the unbroken one), with different symmetries, that we thoroughly determine. The group-subgroup relations between bordering phases are pointed out. The perturbative sixth degree corrections to the minimum of a fourth degree polynomial $G$-invariant free energy, calculated by Mermin, are also determined.

description: This research investigates the relationship between bus rapid transit (BRT) and property values within 5 and 10 minute walking times of stations. A before and after difference-indifferences model is used to determine whether the values of residential properties already served by limited-stop bus service are impacted by an upgrade to Select Bus Service (SBS). Assessed values of residential properties for intervention and control areas from periods before and after the announcement of SBS (2005 & 2007) and before and after the beginning of service (2007 & 2009) are used to estimate the capitalization effects of SBS. Results suggest that SBS has only resulted in marginal improvements to quality of service and that residential properties within immediate proximity to Bx12 SBS stations are not more highly valued relative to control area properties during either period of analysis.

Through a deep dive historic literature and multimedia review, the study lays the foundation of the worsening energy crisis in the Philippines, and outline where aid has been received to fund resiliency and environmental conservation projects in this disaster-prone country. Through the case study of one of the largest geothermal energy plants in the world, the Tiwi Geothermal Complex in Albay, Bicol, policies, laws, and social movements are reviewed to better understand how the presence of the state and NGOs has shaped life and development in the region. By understanding the drivers of development and decision-making in the region, the potential of geothermal energy infrastructure to be a catalyst for resilient development that adequately improves the conditions and quality of life for local people, centering the struggles of indigenous peoples and subsistence farmers in defending their lands. The current scale of implementation and management of geothermal energy is challenged to re-prioritize the needs of people at the smallest administrative division, the ‘barangay.’

description: Die Einheit der Länge hat im Laufe der Jahrtausende als zunächst vormetrisches Maß und erst in unserem Jahrhundert als Quantenmaß eine bedeutende Entwicklung aufzuweisen.
Bis auf den heutigen Tag sind vormetrische Maße wie Zoll und Fuß, vornehmlich in den Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika, aber auch in Deutschland noch in Gebrauch. So werden in Deutschland z. B. der Durchmesser von Auto- und Fahrradfelgen sowie Wasserrohren in „Zoll“, während Rohrlängen hingegen in „Meter“ angegeben werden. Weitere Beispiele gibt es aus der Halbleiterindustrie und der Elektrotechnik, wo man von 7"-Wafern bzw. von 19"-Gehäusen spricht. Selbst in der Luftfahrt werden bis auf den heutigen Tag Flughöhen in „Fuß“ verbindlich gemessen und ausgewiesen. Schließlich wird man auf Marktplätzen, bei denen an Rathauspfeilern oder -portalen Ellen angebracht sind, an diese Maße erinnert. Sie sind sichtbares Zeichen lokaler Marktgerechtigkeit aus vergangenen Jahrhunderten. Die Braunschweiger Elle der Länge von 57,07 cm, die sich an einem Pfeiler des Altstadtrathauses befindet, ist so ein vorgeschriebenes Längenmaß für den Marktverkehr mindestens seit dem 16. Jahrhundert.
Bekanntlich haben sich etwa 100 Jahre nach der Französischen Revolution die metrischen Maßeinheiten und damit auch die Längeneinheit Meter weltweit einheitlich durchgesetzt, so daß heute in mehr als 100 Staaten das metrische System offiziell eingeführt ist. Wesentliche Stationen dieser Entwicklung der Einheit des Meter waren die Schaffung des Internationalen Meterprototyps (1889), die Meterdefinition auf der Grundlage einer Wellenlänge des Lichtes (1960) und die bis heute gültige Definition mittels des festgelegten Wertes der Lichtgeschwindigkeit im Vakuum (1983).
Insbesondere haben Quantenmaße, die auf Ort und Zeit unabhängige Fundamentalkonstanten beruhen, die Präzisionslängenmeßtechnik erheblich erweitert und bereichert. So läßt sich heute das Meter auf die Einheit der Sekunde durch genaue Frequenzmessungen relativ auf einige 10-13 genau bestimmen.

 Questions asked:
 - Q: Is the proposed guideline targeted solely at sonification practitioners?
 - A: Primarily, yes. However, the option to listen to (and visualise) examples of auditory phenomena that have been identified using Auditory Scene Analysis will be available to the user regardless of their intention.
 - Q: How will the efficacy of the guideline be evaluated?
 - A: Peer feedback (qualitative).
 Suggestion: Use Thematic Analysis.
 - Q: Will the proposed website be accessible for the blind and visually impaired?
 - A: As the main goal of the site is to present examples of auditory phenomena aurally first, the researcher will aim to make it accessible for BVI users. (The visualisation of auditory examples is a secondary goal).
 Suggestion: Seek advice and include qualitative feedback from experienced sonification designers who are blind or visually impaired.

description: We compare predictions of the mean-field theory of superconductivity for nearly antiferromagnetic and nearly ferromagnetic metals for cubic and tetragonal lattices. The calculations are based on the parametrization of an effective interaction arising from the exchange of magnetic fluctuations and assume that a single band is relevant for superconductivity. The results show that for comparable model parameters, the robustness of magnetic pairing increases gradually as one goes from a cubic structure to a more and more anisotropic tetragonal structure either on the border of antiferromagnetism or ferromagnetism.

description: We develop and apply a fully covariant 1+3 electromagnetic analogy for gravity. The free gravitational field is covariantly characterized by the Weyl gravito-electric and gravito-magnetic spatial tensor fields, whose dynamical equations are the Bianchi identities. Using a covariant generalization of spatial vector algebra and calculus to spatial tensor fields, we exhibit the covariant analogy between the tensor Bianchi equations and the vector Maxwell equations. We identify gravitational source terms, couplings and potentials with and without electromagnetic analogues. The nonlinear vacuum Bianchi equations are shown to be invariant under covariant spatial duality rotation of the gravito-electric and gravito-magnetic tensor fields. We construct the super-energy density and super-Poynting vector of the gravitational field as natural U(1) group invariants, and derive their super-energy conservation equation. A covariant approach to gravito-electric/magnetic monopoles is also presented.

How long is long enough? : Robust timeframes for reclamation monitoring

description: Post closure monitoring is a common requirement for mines worldwide. Following completion of closure activities, monitoring is undertaken to document and evaluate the effectiveness of closure activities in meeting closure objectives and success criteria. Monitoring is carried out with a focus on elements that remain post-closure, and on areas where there is an expectation or risk of impacts. Effective management of reclamation risk requires a deliberate approach to understanding, assessing, and responding to potential impacts at a site-specific level. What is the best approach in determining monitoring timeframes to reduce uncertainty in reclamation performance? Monitoring periods are often pre-prescribed by regulations or left to proponents to determine. Monitoring timeframes need to be defensible but are largely an exercise in addressing perceived risk from regulators or stakeholder groups. Typically, the greater the perceived risk and potential uncertainty, the longer the monitoring period stipulated by regulators. Risk defined without process forms the crux of the problem in setting realistic monitoring periods. A deeper understanding of potential perceived risks with respect to specific potential failure modes is therefore required. Monitoring periods should be determined based on temporal scales of the mechanisms and processes involved in potential failure modes to address and constrain variability of parameters measured. Climate is frequently the most influencing factor for reclamation performance, largely manifested through getting the “right” water balance to interact with the materials and vegetation specified in the future land use. It forms the “uncontrollable” variable in the success equation that carries with it the greatest risk to closure designs. In this paper, two case studies are presented, one from Northern Alberta, the other from Australia with vastly different climates but similar water related closure objectives. Empirical Mode Decomposition is one such tool used to help define meaningful monitoring periods for these sites.

Responses to Normative Disruption of the Gender Binary Through the Creation of Gender Inclusive Housing

description: This study, a multisite qualitative case study, examines the responses of three institutions of higher education to normative disruption of the gender binary. Normative disruption, or the challenging of the social status quo, occurs when power structures in society are pushed back against. Central to this study is the use of open systems theory, which positions higher education as a subsystem of American society, and therefore responsive to changes in the environment external of the institution. This study investigates how, if at all, these case sites employed Gender Inclusive Housing (GIH) policies as an institutional response to changes in how gender was conceptualized on their campus. Specifically, this study addresses: 1.  how changes in societal norms around the gender binary influence colleges and universities, 2.  in what ways institutions respond to such changes, 3.  what ways institutions reestablish organizational homeostasis around an expanded concept of gender, and 4. how institutional characteristics influence decision-making responses.
      Out of the findings of this study emerged the Model of Normative Disruption, a mechanism that can be utilized to understand institutional decision-making responses to normative disruption. The findings of this study suggest: 1. various societal and institutional factors influence the ways in which normative disruption manifests at a college or university, 2. institutional characteristics and culture impact all responses to normative disruption, and can either support or hinder change, 3. GIH is one mechanism of responding to normative disruption, but, depending on institutional characteristics, may not be sufficient enough change to reestablish organizational homeostasis, and 4. if the institutional culture is not an amenable environment to such changes, organizational homeostasis is difficult to reestablish.
      This study concludes with implications for theory, research, and practice. Importantly, I suggest that GIH policies might serve as an opportunity for administrators to begin the necessary conversations of understanding the myriad cisgenderist policies, practices, and culture that exist within systems of higher education.

Effective theories for quantum spin clusters: Geometric phases and state selection by singularity

description: Magnetic systems with frustration often have large classical degeneracy. We show that their low-energy physics can be understood as dynamics within the space of classical ground states. We demonstrate this mapping in a family of quantum spin clusters where every pair of spins is connected by an $XY$ antiferromagnetic bond. The dimer with two spin-$S$ spins provides the simplest example, it maps to a quantum particle on a ring ($S^1$). The trimer is more complex, equivalent to a particle that lives on two disjoint rings ($S^1\otimes \mathbb{Z}_2$). It has an additional subtlety for half-integer $S$ values, wherein both rings must be threaded by $π$-fluxes to obtain a satisfactory mapping. This is a consequence of the geometric phase incurred by spins. For both the dimer and the trimer, the effective theory can be seen from a path-integral-based derivation. This approach cannot be extended to the quadrumer which has a non-manifold ground state space, consisting of three tori that touch pairwise along lines. In order to understand the dynamics of a particle in this space, we develop a tight-binding model with this connectivity. Remarkably, this successfully reproduces the low-energy spectrum of the quadrumer. For half-integer spins, a geometric phase emerges which can be mapped to two $π$-flux tubes that reside in the space between the tori. The non-manifold character of the space leads to a remarkable effect - the dynamics at low energies is not ergodic as the particle is localized around singular lines of the ground state space. The low-energy spectrum consists of an extensive number of bound states formed around singularities. Physically, this manifests as an order-by-disorder-like preference for collinear ground states. However, unlike order-by-disorder, this `order by singularity' persists even in the classical limit. We discuss consequences for field theoretic studies of magnets.

description: We study interaction-induced quantum correction to the conductivity tensor of electrons in two dimensions for arbitrary T tau, where T is the temperature and tau the transport mean free time. A general formula is derived, expressing the correction in terms of classical propagators ("ballistic diffusons"). The formalism is used to calculate the interaction contribution to the magnetoresistance in a classically strong transverse field and smooth disorder in the whole range of temperatures from the diffusive (T tau<<1) to the ballistic (T tau>1) regime.
