description: Nowadays, data can be represented and stored by using different formats ranging from non structured data, typical of file systems, to semi-structured data, typical of Web sources, to highly structured data, typical of relational database systems. Therefore, the necessity arises to define new tools and models for uniformly handling all these heterogeneous information sources. In this paper we propose both a framework and a conceptual model which aim at uniformly managing information sources having different nature and structure for obtaining a global, integrated and uniform representation. We show also how the proposed framework and the conceptual model can be useful in many application contexts.

description: An analytic model of the shear modulus applicable at temperatures up to melt and at all densities is presented. It is based in part on a relation between the melting temperature and the shear modulus at melt. Experimental data on argon are shown to agree with this relation to within 1%. The model of the shear modulus involves seven parameters, all of which can be determined from zero-pressure experimental data. We obtain the values of these parameters for 11 elemental solids. Both the experimental data on the room-temperature shear modulus of argon to compressions of \sim 2.5, and theoretical calculations of the zero-temperature shear modulus of aluminum to compressions of \sim 3.5 are in good agreement with the model. Electronic structure calculations of the shear moduli of copper and gold to compressions of 2, performed by us, agree with the model to within uncertainties.

Assessing Student Achievement in Probability Problem Solving Using Collaboration Process Data: Development and Use of a Scoring Rubric

Group problem solving

description: Collaborative problem solving (CPS) is a critical competency, because much of the work people do occurs in a social context involving direct collaboration. Meanwhile, schools are being pressured to reduce the amount of time devoted to large-scale assessments, and to adopt more natural or authentic assessments. It may be possible to address both these issues at once, if collaboration experiences are viewed as opportunities to assess student achievement.However, several issues arise in evaluating individuals’ problem solving skills in a collaborative context: (1) collaborative learning outcomes may obscure individuals’ contributions, making it difficult to isolate individuals’ performance; (2) outcome-based measures may ignore the processes of individuals’ or groups’ problem solving, thus leading to inaccurate estimations of individuals’ or groups’ knowledge, abilities and skills; and (3) prior evaluative focus of CPS research has usually been on social aspects of collaboration rather than domain-relevant cognitive skills. Therefore, the present study aimed to develop a process-based scoring rubric to evaluate individual student achievement in problem solving using collaboration process data. Furthermore, this study explored how group ability composition affects group performance and individual learning gains. The content domain was solving mathematical combinatorics and probability word problems. Participants included 306 Chinese high school students, who performed the following three tasks in order: (1) an individual pretest with seven problems; (2) a collaborative task with three problems; and (3) an individual posttest with seven problems. The results were as follows: First, a four-indicator scoring rubric was developed to evaluate student achievement in solving combinatorics and probability problems using collaboration process data. Evidence suggested that the scoring rubric can be considered reliable and valid in terms of being used as an individual assessment and a teaching tool. Thus, this scoring rubric may provide insights useful for developing relevant performance assessments on more complex and authentic performance tasks. Second, significant differences were found in group performance among dyads as a function of the group’s minimum student ability. Third, students working in dyads with higher maximum or average ability tended to gain more after collaboration. Finally, certain collaborative problem solving behaviors could be linked to individual learning gains.

description: Many functional materials are today synthesised in form of nanoparticles displaying preferred orientation effects to some small or large extent. The analysis of diffraction data of such kind of systems is best performed in the framework of the total scattering approach that prescinds from translation symmetry assumptions. We therefore derived modified expressions for the most common total scattering functions, in particular the Debye Scattering Equation (DSE) that yields the texture-averaged differential cross section as a function of atomic coordinates and texture parameters. The modified DSE encodes higher-order even spherical Bessel functions which account for the texture effect. Selection rules arising from experimental geometries and symmetries are discussed. In addition the duality of the texture effect is introduced showing the effects of texture on both the I(Q) and G(r). The paper includes several definitions and appendices which are meant to be useful for those involved in the development of crystallographic computing.

description: The authors study the geometry of lightlike hypersurfaces on pseudo-Riemannian manifolds $(M, g)$ of Lorentzian signature. Such hypersurfaces are of interest in general relativity since they can be models of different types of physical horizons. For a lightlike hypersurface $V \subset (M, g)$ of general type and for some special lightlike hypersurfaces (namely, for totally umbilical and belonging to a manifold $(M, g)$ of constant curvature), in a third-order neighborhood of a point $x \in V$, the authors construct invariant normalizations intrinsically connected with the geometry of $V$ and investigate affine connections induced by these normalizations. For this construction, they used relative and absolute invariants defined by the first and second fundamental forms of $V$. The authors show that if $\dim M = 4$, their methods allow to construct three invariant normalizations and affine connections intrinsically connected with the geometry of $V$. Such a construction is given in the present paper for the first time. The authors also consider the fibration of isotropic geodesics of $V$ and investigate their singular points and singular submanifolds.

description: Compact urban development is today widely pursued on sustainability, cost-effectiveness, equity, health, and place-making grounds. Starting with an examination of the different benefits related to urban density, this thesis investigates the complexity and multidimensionality of the densification process. Establishing that improperly planned, compaction creates undesirable urban environments and undermine residents' quality of life, the research identifies five necessary conditions to successful densification. Suitable compact development is accompanied by a mix of uses, a provision of public transit, a social inclusiveness, and an access to open space, along with the increase of residential density. Based on this conclusion, five performance indicators of suitable density are selected and aggregated into a composite index aiming to assess density holistically. This work is concluded by applying the created index to two particularly relevant density case studies: Portland (OR) Downtown Waterfront Urban Renewal Area and Amsterdam IJburg.

description: Der Zustand von Natur und Landschaft in Deutschland ist nach wie vor besorgniserregend: Landschaftsverarmung, Biotopschwund und der Rückgang der Artenvielfalt sind dringende, zu lösende Probleme. Bestehende Schutzansätze haben sich als wenig wirkungsvoll erwiesen, es bedarf einer grundlegenden Modernisierung der Naturschutzpolitik: Naturschutz darf nicht mehr nur wie bisher in wenigen Schutzgebieten stattfinden, sondern muß nutzungsintegriert und präventiv auf der Gesamtfläche erfolgen. Hierfür kommt einer Novellierung des Bundesnaturschutzgesetzes (BNatSchG) wichtige Bedeutung zu. Dieses Reformvorhaben ist in den letzten drei Legislaturperioden aber regelmäßig an heftigen Interessenkonflikten zwischen Bund und Ländern, Parteien und Interessenverbänden gescheitert. Gegenwärtig erfolgt schon der vierte Anlauf, das BNatSchG grundlegend zu novellieren. In dieser Studie werden anhand einer detaillierten Analyse des Politikformulierungs- und Entscheidungsprozesses zur Novellierung des BNatSchG in der letzten und gegenwärtigen Legislaturperiode bestehende Restriktionen einer Neuorientierung in der Naturschutzpolitik in Deutschland analysiert.
description: The state of nature and landscape in Germany is still alarming. The threat of species extinction and habitat endangerment are pressing, unsolved problems. Present practice of nature conservation has proven to be inefficient. There is a need for fundamental modernisation of nature conservation policy. Instead of the strict protection of only a few nature reserves, a preventive, integrated and more inclusive approach is required. The amendment of the Federal Conservation of Nature Law is in this context an important measure. However, due to strong conflict of interest between the relevant policy actors, this reform has failed in the last three parliamentary terms. At present the fourth attempt is underway. This study discusses existing restrictions of a reorientation in nature conservation policy in Germany on the basis of a detailed analysis of the policy processes in the last and also current parliamentary terms regarding the amendment of the Federal Conservation of Nature Law.

description: We analyze the effect of additive fractional noise with Hurst parameter $H > \frac{1}{2}$ on fast-slow systems. Our strategy is based on sample paths estimates, similar to the approach by Berglund and Gentz in the Brownian motion case. Yet, the setting of fractional Brownian motion does not allow us to use the martingale methods from fast-slow systems with Brownian motion. We thoroughly investigate the case where the deterministic system permits a uniformly hyperbolic stable slow manifold. In this setting, we provide a neighborhood, tailored to the fast-slow structure of the system, that contains the process with high probability. We prove this assertion by providing exponential error estimates on the probability that the system leaves this neighborhood. We also illustrate our results in an example arising in climate modeling, where time-correlated noise processes have become of greater relevance recently.

description: Since 1970, the cruise industry has grown by more than 2,100 percent; cruise ships can now carry more than 6,000 passengers. Preservationists and planners managing some of the world’s most emblematic historic port cities—including Falmouth, Jamaica; Dubrovnik, Croatia; and Venice, Italy—have identified negative impacts (e.g., incompatible development, loss of intangible culture, pollution, wear and tear) caused by the surge in cruise ship traffic and infrastructure. Yet cruise markets continue to be developed within historic port cities without any assessment or regulation, in part because responses to this issue are still under development. This thesis is the first comprehensive study to explicitly position this preservation planning challenge within the field of heritage tourism management. It is also the first study to analyze international examples of adverse effects created by cruise tourism in historic port cities and present a list of tools—such as tourism management organizations, carrying capacity, port quotas and congestion fees—that can be applied to assessing and managing impacts, building on the theory that development in and around historic districts should stay within limits of acceptable change. Furthermore, this thesis uses Charleston, South Carolina as a case study and creates a framework for an assessment and phased management plan that would allow the city to reap the benefits of cruise tourism while mitigating costs and protecting invaluable cultural resources. Charleston is an important case as it is the first and only port in the United States to gain international attention for opposing the cruise industry specifically on the grounds that it impacts the city’s historic character. It is currently being transformed into a new cruise terminal without any preservation or environmental review. This thesis draws on research on the relationship between cruise tourism and historic ports in order to anticipate the impacts of Charleston’s proposed terminal.

description: We present a microscopic theory of carrier-induced ferrimagnetism in metallic double perovskite compounds such as ${\rm Sr}_{2}{\rm FeMoO}_{6}$ and ${\rm Sr}_{2}{\rm FeReO}_{6}$ which have recently attracted intense interest for their possible applications to magnetotransport devices. The theory is based on an effective "Kondo-like" Hamiltonian treated here within the large-$S$ expansion. We find that depending on the value of the carrier density the ground state is either a ferrimagnet or a layered antiferromagnet. The ferrimagnetic state has a robust half-metallic electronic structure. The transition to antiferromagnetic phase is first order accompanied with the regime of phase separation. We study spin wave spectrum including quantum corrections and find strongly enhanced quantum effects in the vicinity of zero-temperature phase transition.

description: Visual knowledge bases such as Visual Genome power numerous applications in computer vision, including visual question answering and captioning, but suffer from sparse, incomplete relationships. All scene graph models to date are limited to training on a small set of visual relationships that have thousands of training labels each. Hiring human annotators is expensive, and using textual knowledge base completion methods are incompatible with visual data. In this paper, we introduce a semi-supervised method that assigns probabilistic relationship labels to a large number of unlabeled images using few labeled examples. We analyze visual relationships to suggest two types of image-agnostic features that are used to generate noisy heuristics, whose outputs are aggregated using a factor graph-based generative model. With as few as 10 labeled examples per relationship, the generative model creates enough training data to train any existing state-of-the-art scene graph model. We demonstrate that our method outperforms all baseline approaches on scene graph prediction by 5.16 recall@100 for PREDCLS. In our limited label setting, we define a complexity metric for relationships that serves as an indicator (R^2 = 0.778) for conditions under which our method succeeds over transfer learning, the de-facto approach for training with limited labels.

description: This paper is a direct continuation of\ \BLZ\ where we begun the study of the integrable structures in Conformal Field Theory. We show here how to construct the operators ${\bf Q}_{\pm}(λ)$ which act in highest weight Virasoro module and commute for different values of the parameter $λ$. These operators appear to be the CFT analogs of the $Q$ - matrix of Baxter\ \Baxn, in particular they satisfy famous Baxter's ${\bf T}-{\bf Q}$ equation. We also show that under natural assumptions about analytic properties of the operators ${\bf Q}(λ)$ as the functions of $λ$ the Baxter's relation allows one to derive the nonlinear integral equations of Destri-de Vega (DDV)\ \dVega\ for the eigenvalues of the ${\bf Q}$-operators. We then use the DDV equation to obtain the asymptotic expansions of the ${\bf Q}$ - operators at large $λ$; it is remarkable that unlike the expansions of the ${\bf T}$ operators of \ \BLZ, the asymptotic series for ${\bf Q}(λ)$ contains the ``dual'' nonlocal Integrals of Motion along with the local ones. We also discuss an intriguing relation between the vacuum eigenvalues of the ${\bf Q}$ - operators and the stationary transport properties in boundary sine-Gordon model. On this basis we propose a number of new exact results about finite voltage charge transport through the point contact in quantum Hall system.

description: The measurements of the top quark flavor changing neutral current interactions are one of the most important goals of the top quark physics program in the present and the future collider experiments. These measurements provide direct information on non-standard interactions of the top quark. Within the framework of new physics beyond the Standard Model, these interactions can be defined by an effective Lagrangian. In this study, we have investigated the potential of the future $μp$ colliders on the top quark flavor changing neutral current interactions through the subprocesses $γq \rightarrow t \rightarrow W b$ where $q=u,c$. These subprocesses have been produced through the main reaction $μp \rightarrow μγp \rightarrow μW b X $ at the LHC$-μp$, the FCC$-μp$ and the SPPC-$μp$. For the main reaction, the total cross sections have been calculated as a function of the anomalous $ tqγ$ couplings. In addition, sensitivities on BR($t \rightarrow q γ$) at $95\%$ Confidence Level have been calculated. We obtain that the best constraints on BR($t \rightarrow q γ$) are at the order of 10$^{-7}$ which is four orders of magnitude better than the LHC's experimental results.

description: The purpose of this thesis is to assess the “publicness” of pedestrian plazas under its development guidelines from the NYC Plaza Programs (NYC Office of the Mayor, 2007) through a comparative study of private and public space. Drawing from existing models of publicness, the paper proposed a hybrid model to measure publicness and then investigated how “public” the pedestrian plazas built under the NYC Plaza Programs are using a mix methods approach of geospatial data and literature review. In the process, it simultaneously challenged underlying definitions of “publicness” and the contentions around privatization in the urban environment. The study suggests that the assessment of publicness for the NYC Plaza Programs demands a context-specific model to the program where metrics are calibrated beyond a simple hybrid of existing models. Ultimately, it is recommended that future studies for measuring publicness should include on the ground observations and fieldwork to account for the individuals who are arguably the true owners of a public space.

description: Reithrodontomys humulis, the eastern harvest mouse, is a small cricetid rodent which is common in old field communities in the eastern U.S. A live-trapping study was conducted in Suffolk, Virginia from March 1983 through February 1984 in order to learn the details of its life history and the vegetational characteristics which best describe its microhabitat. Specifically, population densities, trap-revealed survival times, home ranges, plant species composition of the study area, and vegetational structure were examined. In order to trap as many Reithrodontomys as possible, special traps which excluded animals weighing over 20 g were constructed. Densities of harvest mice on the study area were moderately high; at the peak there were 44.4 individuals/ha. The mean trap-revealed survival time was 9.5 weeks. Home ranges were large for so small a mouse (952.43 m2). Vegetational structure was important in describing the habitat of
Reithrodontomys, whereas plant species composition was not. Eastern harvest mice preferred to live in areas where the vegetation was dense from ground level up to 50 cm.

description: We present a novel approach for reconciling hierarchical forecasts, based on Bayes rule. We define a prior distribution for the bottom time series of the hierarchy, based on the bottom base forecasts. Then we update their distribution via Bayes rule, based on the base forecasts for the upper time series. Under the Gaussian assumption, we derive the updating in closed-form. We derive two algorithms, which differ as for the assumed independencies. We discuss their relation with the MinT reconciliation algorithm and with the Kalman filter, and we compare them experimentally.

description: From the petroleum ether and ethyl acetate portions of the 95% ethanol extract of Ficus tikoua Bur., a new hemiacetal chromone racemate, named (±)-ficunomone (1), together with twenty-two known flavonoids (2-23) were isolated. The new structure was elucidated by NMR, HRESIMS, and X-ray single-crystal diffraction analysis, and the known structures were determined by comparison of spectroscopic data with those reported from literatures. All the compounds were assayed for their inhibitory activities against yeast α-glucosidase, seven flavonoids could inhibit α-glucosidase, among which compounds 22 and 23 exhibited the highest inhibitory activity, with IC50 values at 5.12 ± 0.10 and 3.43 ± 0.15 μM respectively. Preliminary structure and relationship activity of all the compounds was analysed. Kinetic analysis of compounds 22 and 23 indicated that they are both uncompetitive inhibitors. Molecular docking studies revealed that they bound to amino acid residues of the α-glucosidase activity pocket.

description: A considerable literature on attribution theory has shown that healthy individuals exhibit a positivity bias when inferring the causes of evaluative feedback on their performance. They tend to attribute positive feedback internally (e.g., to their own abilities) but negative feedback externally (e.g., to environmental factors). However, all empirical demonstrations of this bias suffer from at least one of the three following drawbacks: First, participants directly judge explicit causes for their performance. Second, participants have to imagine events instead of experiencing them. Third, participants assess their performance only after receiving feedback and thus differences in baseline assessments cannot be excluded. It is therefore unclear whether the classically reported positivity bias generalizes to setups without these drawbacks. Here, we aimed at establishing the relevance of attributions for decision-making by showing an attribution-related positivity bias in a decision-making task. We developed a novel task, which allowed us to test how participants changed their evaluations in response to positive and negative feedback about performance. Specifically, we used videos of actors expressing different facial emotional expressions. Participants were first asked to evaluate the actors’ credibility in expressing a particular emotion. After this initial rating, participants performed an emotion recognition task and did—or did not—receive feedback on their veridical performance. Finally, participants re-rated the actors’ credibility, which provided a measure of how they changed their evaluations after feedback. Attribution theory predicts that participants change their evaluations of the actors’ credibility toward the positive after receiving positive performance feedback and toward the negative after negative performance feedback. Our results were in line with this prediction. A control condition without feedback showed that correct or incorrect performance alone could not explain the observed positivity bias. Furthermore, participants’ behavior in our task was linked to the most widely used measure of attribution style. In sum, our findings suggest that positive and negative performance feedback influences the evaluation of task-related stimuli, as predicted by attribution theory. Therefore, our study points to the relevance of attribution theory for feedback processing in decision-making and provides a novel outlook for decision-making biases.

description: Exposure to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) has critical health implications for developing fetuses and subsequently for infants and young children. Research has suggested that this ambient air pollutant can be found indoors in quantities that may be hazardous to human health. In low-income neighborhoods in New York City such as northern Manhattan and the South Bronx, where there are disproportionately high rates of asthma and asthma-related hospitalizations, high rates of indoor exposure to VOCs persist. Simultaneously, as mobile devices expand, applications on mobile devices may be used to educate parents of children who reside in these geographic regions about indoor VOC emission sources and subsequently how to reduce exposure.Therefore, this study sought to assess the role of mobile device applications in reducing household VOCs by assessing the feasibility of existing health applications on both Apple and Android OS mobile devices without the use of a household air monitoring unit. An online survey assessed awareness of VOCs and identified knowledge of both emission sources and reduction methods of household VOCs among a sample of (N = 57) parents/guardians residing in the Northern Manhattan and Southern Bronx regions with children under the age of 5. A series of focus groups were conducted among a subset of participants to assess the adaptability of a mobile application prototype that specifically targets the reduction of VOCs. Lastly, a preliminary mobile device application mockup was created with potential features. The key findings of this study included the following: (a) the author identified no existing mobile device applications that could be utilized as a method for VOC reduction without the use of a physical in-home air monitor; (b) while parents had some baseline awareness of VOCs, there were gaps within their knowledge of VOCs, particularly with emission sources; (c) the feasibility of this proposed application as a potential source of intervention for indoor VOC mitigation was apparent through parent willingness to explore its possible use, while providing ample recommendations for optimal mobile device application design; and (d) the exploratory mockup of the proposed mobile device application was generated with suggested features.

description: Frustrated systems are ubiquitous and interesting because their behavior is difficult to predict. Magnetism offers extreme examples in the form of spin lattices where all interactions between spins cannot be simultaneously satisfied. Such geometrical frustration leads to macroscopic degeneracies, and offers the possibility of qualitatively new states of matter whose nature has yet to be fully understood. Here we have discovered how novel composite spin degrees of freedom can emerge from frustrated interactions in the cubic spinel ZnCr2O4. Upon cooling, groups of six spins self-organize into weakly interacting antiferromagnetic loops whose directors, defined as the unique direction along which the spins are aligned parallel or antiparallel, govern all low temperature dynamics. The experimental evidence comes from a measurement of the magnetic form factor by inelastic neutron scattering. While the data bears no resemblance to the atomic form factor for chromium, they are perfectly consistent with the form factor for hexagonal spin loop directors. The hexagon directors are to a first approximation decoupled from each other and hence their reorientations embody the long-sought local zero energy modes for the pyrochlore lattice.

Assessing the Decolonization of Cultural Heritage Policy in Belize through the Analysis of Narratives Presented at Colonial Sites

Cultural property--Valuation

description: In 1981, after three centuries of colonial dominance, the country of Belize officially became a sovereign nation. Almost 40 years later the country is still working to overcome the lingering effects of colonialism. This is evident in Belize’s focus on creating a new national identity for the country. They seek to achieve this through the development of their cultural heritage, as expressed in their 2016 National Cultural Policy. When cultural policy is decolonized, free of the influence of the colonizer, the values of Belizeans will drive the creation of a national identity. Decolonization occurs politically, when an official act separates the colonized from the colonizer. It also occurs intellectually, through a process where a peoples’ thoughts, ideas and values are detangled from those of the colonizer and are free from the colonizer’s influence. This thesis will assess the extent to which Belize has intellectually decolonized its cultural heritage policy. This task will be accomplished by tracing Belize’s history from the colonial era to the present day to grasp the full range of its heritage answering what are the dominant historical narratives? What must be decentered for heritage to be fully inclusive? Then, an analysis of Belize’s cultural heritage policies is driven by the following metrics: heritage typologies, definitions, key actors, publics acknowledged, uses of heritage and institutional capacity building. These metrics expose how over time the policies increase their capacity to support a more inclusive heritage capable of decentering the dominant historical narrative representative of an intellectually decolonizing policy. Finally, policy is not stagnant and requires action to carry out and achieve its goals. Understanding how these intellectually decolonizing policies play out in the real world is a crucial way to judge the true extent of their power. One way to achieve this is by interpreting the narratives represented at two colonial heritage sites. Interpretation involves a narrative analysis where the plain words and images of the narratives are broken down to understand the narrative’s purposes and effects and the extent to which it reflects an intellectually decolonized cultural heritage policy. These individual site narratives contribute to the larger heritage story in Belize and thus provide a basis for understanding how heritage, policy and intellectual decolonization play out in the wider Belizean heritage realm, the preservation field at large, and how far Belize has come in reclaiming its identity.
