description: The Colorado Habitat Exchange gives ranchers a new return on investment for stewarding wildlife and land resources. To address the issue of moving toward energy security without doing irreparable damage to wildlife and the landscapes on which they depend, the Colorado Habitat Exchange will create the incentives needed for all parties to act now and avoid the need to list wildlife species. The program enables those who impact habitat to create financial opportunities for those who can provide or improve habitat. The Colorado Habitat Exchange establishes a structured, transparent infrastructure for those types of habitat exchanges to work. The objectives are to provide a standardized set of tools and protocols to quantify habitat and species benefits from restoration activities provide a registry that tracks benefits and reports on progress towards achieving permit requirements and conservation goals, establish a trading platform for credits and to provide regulatory assurances for participating private landowners and development interests.

description: The two most common types of MgB2 conductor fabrication technique - in-situ and ex-situ - show increasing conflicts concerning the connectivity, an effective current-carrying cross-sectional area. An in-situ reaction yields a strong intergrain coupling with a low packing factor, while an ex-situ process using pre-reacted MgB2 yields tightly packed grains, however, their coupling is much weaker. We studied the normal-state resistivity and microstructure of ex-situ MgB2 bulks synthesized with varied heating conditions under ambient pressure. The samples heated at moderately high temperatures of ~900°C for a long period showed an increased packing factor, a larger intergrain contact area and a significantly decreased resistivity, all of which indicate the solid-state self-sintering of MgB2. Consequently the connectivity of the sintered ex-situ samples exceeded the typical connectivity range 5-15% of the in-situ samples. Our results show self-sintering develops the superior connectivity potential of ex-situ MgB2, though its intergrain coupling is not yet fulfilled, to provide a strong possibility of twice or even much higher connectivity in optimally sintered ex-situ MgB2 than in in-situ MgB2.

description: It is well known that integrable charges for short-range (e.g. nearest-neighbor) spin chains with periodic boundary conditions can be recursively generated by a so-called boost operator. In the past, this iterative construction has been generalized to periodic long-range spin chains as they appear in the context of the gauge/gravity correspondence. Here we introduce recursion relations for open long-range spin chain charges converting a short-range into a long-range integrable model.

description: Rationale and Objective:We sought to determine which is more effective in increasing skill in radiograph interpretation: a linear (PowerPoint-style) computer tutorial that locks the student into a fixed path through the material or a branched (Web-style) version that allows random access. Materials and Methods: We prepared a computer tutorial for learning how to interpret cervical spine radiographs. The tutorial has 66 screens including radiographs or graphics on almost every page and five unknown radiographs for the student to interpret. One version (linear) presents the material in a linear sequence with the unknown radiographs heading up "chapters" detailing an important aspect of the task. In the second (branched) version, the same 66 screens were accessed through hyperlinks in a frame beside the unknown radiographs. One hundred thirty-nine medical students at two sites participated in a randomized single-blinded controlled experiment. They interpreted cervical spine images as a pretest and then completed one of the two tutorial versions. Afterward, they did the same examination as a post-test. Results:The tutorial was successful, in both layouts, in improving the subjects' ability to interpret cervical spine radiograph images (effect size 2.1; 95% confidence interval 1.7-2.5). However, the layout did not make a difference to their gain in ability. Students in the linear group completed the tutorial in 17% less time (P < .001) but were slightly less likely to rate the tutorial as "valuable." Conclusion:For these novice learners, computer tutorial layout does not affect knowledge gain. Students may be more satisfied with the linear layout, but in time-pressured situations, the Web-style layout may be preferable because it is more efficient.

description: We study the asymptotic behavior of a class of methods for sufficient dimension reduction in high-dimension regressions, as the sample size and number of predictors grow in various alignments. It is demonstrated that these methods are consistent in a variety of settings, particularly in abundant regressions where most predictors contribute some information on the response, and oracle rates are possible. Simulation results are presented to support the theoretical conclusion.

description: We show that non-linear dynamics of a scalar field ϕ may be described as a mod- ification of the spacetime geometry. Thus, the self-interaction is interpreted as a coupling of the scalar field with an effective gravitational metric that is constructed with ϕ itself. We prove that this process is universal, that is, it is valid for arbi- trary Lagrangian. Our results are compared to usual analogue models of gravitation, where the emergence of a metric appears as a consequence of linear perturbation.

description: Graphite, a model (semi)metal with trigonally warped bands, is investigated with magneto-absorption experiment and viewed as an electronic system in the vicinity of the Lifshitz transition. A characteristic pattern of up to twenty cyclotron resonance harmonics has been observed. This large number of resonances, their relative strengths and characteristic shapes trace the universal properties of the electronic states near a separatrix in the momentum space. Quantum-mechanical perturbative methods with respect to the trigonal warping term hardly describe the data which are, on the other hand, fairly well reproduced within a quasi-classical approach and conventional band structure model. Trigonal symmetry is preserved in graphite in contrast to a similar system, bilayer graphene.

description: Over 60% of the United States is held in private ownership. These holdings include some of the country's most productive lands and are often managed as working landscapes. Notably, the security of over 80% of the nation's imperiled species depends wholly or in part on private land. Private landowners have, however, been somewhat reluctant to support efforts on behalf of imperiled species based on myriad concerns, especially perceived regulatory restrictions related to the Endangered Species Act. In 1997 the Turner Endangered Species Fund and Turner Biodiversity Divisions were launched to conserve nature by ensuring the persistence of imperiled species and their habitats with an emphasis on private working lands owned by R. E. Turner. Since inception the Fund and the Divisions have been involved in a number of successful conservation efforts, including controversial reintroduction projects that aimed to restore viable populations of imperiled plants, birds, fishes, mammals, reptiles, and amphibians. We are currently developing a conservation effort on behalf of a critically imperiled invertebrate. The organizations now stand as the most important private efforts in the world to arrest the extinction crisis. Our work has generated easily understood outcomes that stand as irrefutable evidence that private working landscapes can be used to advance the prospects of rare and vanishing species.

description: Surface diffusion is a (4th order highly nonlinear) geometric driven motion of a surface with normal velocity proportional to the surface Laplacian of mean curvature. We present a novel variational formulation for graphs and derive a priori error estimates for a time-continuous finite element discretization. We also introduce a semi-implicit time discretization and a Schur complement approach to solve the resulting fully discrete, linear systems. After computational verification of the orders of convergence for polynomial degrees 1 and 2, we show several simulations in 1d and 2d with and without forcing which explore the smoothing effect of surface diffusion as well as the onset of singularities in finite time, such as infinite slopes and cracks.

description: Nearly half of the 33.4 million people living with HIV/AIDS worldwide are women. In sub-Saharan Africa, women account for 59 per cent of all infected adults. Young women are especially vulnerable. Worldwide, 60 per cent of the 15 to 24 yr olds with HIV are women and between 70 and 90 per cent of all HIV infections among women are due to heterosexual intercourse. In sub-Saharan Africa, women aged 15 to 24 yr with HIV represent 76 per cent of the total cases in that age group, outnumbering their male peers by three to one. In 2008, an estimated 4.7 million (3.8-5.5 million) people in Asia were living with HIV. India contributes approximately half of Asia‘s HIV prevalence and in 2007 an estimated 39 per cent of all HIV infections in India were among women. In addition to biological factors that make women more vulnerable than men to acquiring HIV during sex, various sexual coupling patterns place young women at high risk, including partnering with older men who are more likely to be infected, multiple concurrent relationships, low marriage rates, low consistent condom use rates, and limited skills in negotiating safer sex practices. Gender-based violence increases vulnerability, and poverty increases reliance on transactional sex for survival. Women are often unable to convince their male partners, especially husbands and regular partners, to use condoms. Despite the greater vulnerability of women, they have very few options to reduce the transmission and acquisition of HIV. New technologies to prevent the sexual transmission of HIV in women are urgently needed.

Innovative Responses to Foreclosures: Paths to Neighborhood Stability and Housing Opportunity

description: This Article argues that the current foreclosure crisis illustrates how economic stability and racial justice are intertwined. Recent research has found that the more racially segregated a metropolitan region is, the higher the number and rate of its foreclosures. Indeed, the high levels of racial residential segregation in the U.S. facilitated discriminatory and abusive lending practices and contributed to instability in regional housing markets. The Article contends that current fair housing laws alone are insufficient to dismantle the economic and political structures that continue to produce segregation, particularly the architecture of fragmented and unequal local governments competing with each other for resources. Responses to foreclosures provide an opportunity to chip away at these incentives for segregation by encouraging regional collaboration and shared-equity homeownership structures. Two promising examples of such collaboration are examined: first, a partnership between local governments and non-profits conducting targeted redevelopment through the federal Neighborhood Stabilization Program; and, second, a joint effort by a community development financial institution and a community development corporation to buy portfolios of distressed notes at a discount in order to rehabilitate scattered-site properties as affordable housing. Building on these examples, the Article proposes that the next significant step toward creating durable solutions is for municipalities to support shared-equity homeownership structures designed to create permanent affordability and neighborhood stability. Innovative responses to foreclosures from federal, state, and local policymakers hold the promise of advancing both economic security and racial justice.

Comparison of gene expression levels in embryo, endometrium and corpus luteum of dairy heifers and lactating dairy cows and manipulation of endometrial gene expression in-vitro
Creators: name: Thavaneetharajah, Pretheeban
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Fertility in high producing dairy cows has declined over the past sixty years. Even though, fertility has dropped in lactating dairy cows it remained high in dairy heifers. There is increasing evidence to suspect that embryo quality, corpus luteum (CL) function and endometrial environment are major factors affecting fertility in lactating dairy cows. The main objective of this study was to compare the quality of the embryo, endometrium and CL by examining selected genes at mRNA and/or protein levels between dairy heifers and lactating dairy cows. In embryos, interferon tau (IFNτ) and heat shock protein 70 (HSPA1A) were highly expressed in heifers compared to lactating dairy cows. Also, differences were observed in the expression levels of glucose transporter 5 (GLUT5) and sodium-potassium adenosine triphosphatase (Na/K-ATPase) between grade 1 and 2 embryos of lactating dairy cows. The CL studies revealed better maintenance, angiogenesis and steroidogenesis in terms of mRNA expression levels (interleukin 1 alpha: IL1A, insulin like growth factor 1: IGF1, fibroblast growth factor 2: FGF2, vascular endothelial growth factor: VEGF, b-cell lymphoma 2: BCL2 and 3-beta-hydroxy steroid dehydrogenase: 3βHSD) in the CL of heifers than lactating dairy cows. Endometrium of lactating dairy cows and heifers showed differences in the expression of candidate genes (BCL2, HSPA1A, IGF1, FGF2, IL1A, tumor necrosis factor alpha: TNF, and serpin peptidase inhibitor, clade A member 14: SERPINA14) on day 11 of the estrous cycle with more expression in heifers than lactating dairy cows. We further studied the effect of recombinant bovine IFNτ (rbIFNτ) on mid luteal phase endometrium in-vitro to manipulate the expression levels of above endometrial genes. Expression levels of genes (IGF binding protein 3: IGFBP3, TNF, SERPINA14, FGF2, oxytocin receptor: OXTR) and prostaglandin F2 alpha: (PGF2α) levels in the media were inhibited at higher concentrations of rbIFNτ. Collectively, differences observed in the candidate gene expression levels of embryo, CL and endometrium between dairy heifers and lactating dairy cows suggest that they may regulate reduced fertility observed in lactating dairy cows. Additionally, treatment of endometrium with IFNτ may potentially regulate the luteal survival mechanism and endometrial function during mid luteal phase in bovines.

description: This paper describes connectionist techniques for recognition of Broadcast News. The fundamental difference between connectionist systems and more conventional mixture-of-Gaussian systems is that connectionist models directly estimate posterior probabilities as opposed to likelihoods. Access to posterior probabilities has enabled us to develop a number of novel approaches to confidence estimation, pronunciation modelling and search. In addition we have investigated a new feature extraction technique based on the modulation-filtered spectrogram (MSG), and methods for combining multiple information sources. We have incorporated all of these techniques into a system for the transcription of Broadcast News, and we present results on the 1998 DARPA Hub-4E Broadcast News evaluation data.

description: The social and legal relevance of racial passing appears to be fading as we ostensibly enter a color-blind, post-race era. During the "Age of Obama," the notion of passing in our multi-racial society seems to many to be antiquated and unnecessary. As the nation has moved beyond state-sanctioned racial discrimination, many believe that the country also has moved beyond the need for a legal dialogue on racial passing and ambiguity. This "retreat from race," exemplified in part by the apparent declining significance of racial passing, proclaims that the state no longer should consider race when interpreting the law or incorporating democratic values of equality and opportunity. This Essay, however, argues that the continued phenomenon of racial passing can be utilized as a conceptual vehicle to destabilize and de-legitimatize the post-racial agenda.

description: Bistable structures associated with non-linear deformation behavior, exemplified by the Venus flytrap and slap bracelet, can switch between different functional shapes upon actuation. Despite numerous efforts in modeling such large deformation behavior of shells, the roles of mechanical and nonlinear geometric effects on bistability remain elusive. We demonstrate, through both theoretical analysis and table-top experiments, that two dimensionless parameters control bistability. Our work classifies the conditions for bistability, and extends the large deformation theory of plates and shells.

These features include: choice of predictors, models, and transformations for chained imputation models; standard and binned residual plots for checking the fit of the conditional distributions used for imputation; and plots for comparing the distributions of observed and imputed data. In addition, we use Bayesian models and weakly informative prior distributions to construct more stable estimates of imputation models. Our goal is to have a demonstration package that (a) avoids many of the practical problems that arise with existing multivariate imputation programs, and (b) demonstrates state-of-the-art diagnostics that can be applied more generally and can be incorporated into the software of others.

description: This study assessed the uptake of provider-initiated HIV testing and counseling (PITC) among women attending an urban sexually transmitted diseases (STD) clinic in South Africa. From July 2005 to June 2006, women were offered HIV testing following group information and education on HIV and STDs in the clinic waiting area. Of those who were provided with education, information, and offered HIV testing, uptake was 43.5% (2439/5612). The overall HIV prevalence among those tested was 56.5% and the prevalence of acute HIV infection was 1.2%. Of the 56.5% (3173/5612) refusing to test, the reasons for not testing were having already been tested for HIV (61.8%), being afraid to test or felt unready to test (32.5%), the need to consult with partner (0.9%), and refusing with no explanation (4.8%). In settings where high-risk patients await health care services, such as an STD clinic, failure to implement PITC is a missed opportunity for patients to benefit from counseling, prevention, early diagnosis, and referral into care and treatment for HIV infection.

description: In this paper, we study Klein tunneling in random media. To this purpose, we simulate the propagation of a relativistic Gaussian wavepacket through a graphene sample with randomly distributed potential barriers (impurities). The simulations, based on a relativistic quantum lattice Boltzmann method, permit to compute the transmission coefficient across the sample, thereby providing an estimate for the conductivity as a function of impurity concentration and strength of the potentials. It is found that the conductivity loss due to impurities is significantly higher for wave-packets of massive particles, as compared to massless ones. A general expression for the loss of conductivity as a function of the impurity percentage is presented and successfully compared with the Kozeny-Carman law for disordered media in classical fluid dynamics.

Influencing user password choice through peer pressure

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Passwords are the main means of authenticating users in most systems today. However, they have been identified as a weak link to the overall security of many systems and much research has been done in order to enhance their security and usability. Although, many schemes have been proposed, users still find it challenging to keep up with password best practices. Our current work is based on recent research indicating that social navigation can be used to guide users to safer, more secure practices regarding computer security and privacy. Our goal is the evaluation of a novel concept for a proactive password checking mechanism that analyzes and presents to users, information about their peer's password strength. Our proposed proactive password feedback mechanism is an effort to guide users in creating better passwords by relating their password strength to that of other system users. We hypothesized that this would enable users to have a better understanding of their password's strength in regards to the system at hand and its users' expectations in terms of account security. We evaluated our mechanism with two between-subjects laboratory studies, embedding our proactive password checking scheme in the Campus Wide Login (CWL) mechanism for changing an account's password. In our study, we compared the password entropy of participants assigned to our proposed mechanism to this of participants assigned to the current CWL implementation (no feedback) as well as to the traditional horizontal bar, employed by many web sites, which provides feedback in the form of absolute password strength characterization. Our results revealed significant effect on improving password strength between our motivator and the control condition as well as between the group using the existing motivator and the control group. Although, we found a difference between the no feedback condition and the two feedback conditions, we did not find any difference between feedback conditions (i.e., relative vs. absolute strength assessment). However, our results show that relating password strength to that of one's peers, while maintaining the standard visual cues, may yield certain advantages over lack of feedback or current practices.
New noise-based logic representations to avoid some problems with time complexity

description: Instantaneous noise-based logic can avoid time-averaging, which implies significant potential for low-power parallel operations in beyond-Moore-law-chips. However, the universe (uniform superposition) will be zero with high probability (non-zero with exponentially low probability) in the random-telegraph-wave representation thus the operations with the universe would require exponential time-complexity. To fix this deficiency, we modify the amplitudes of the signals of the L and H states and achieve an exponential speedup compared to the old situation. Another improvement concerns the identification of a single product (hyperspace) state. We introduce a time shifted noise-based logic, which is constructed by shifting each reference signal with a small time delay. This modification implies an exponential speedup of single hyperspace vector identification compared to the former case and it requires the same, O(N) complexity as in quantum computing.

Civil Strife and Economic and Social Policies
Creators: name: Stiglitz, Joseph E.
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2006
Subjects: Economics

description: The article compares civil strife in the public arena to labor strikes in the private arena. Both are predicated on incomplete information (both sides believing they can "win," when one--and possibly both--must "lose"). Reasons for conflict, especially in Africa, include the rent-based nature of the economies, the "nothing-much-to-lose" position of many of its participants, the "one-shot" game-theoretic nature of many of its conflicts, and the lack of "voice" of most of its people. The article then draws out six implications for those interested in conflict management and conflict mitigation and comments, for example, on path-dependent irreversibilities of initial policy decisions.

description: Private landowners allocate significant resources towards restoration activities, yet have few ways to demonstrate the ecological effectiveness of their actions. As a group, birds are well suited to serve as response variables to management actions due to their abundance, relatively small territories, association with specific vegetative features, and our ability to passively monitor them. The MPG Ranch studies bird populations using a variety of methods, including: point counts, direct observations of target species, fine-scale mapping of bird occurrence, and tracking devices. The information gathered allows us to evaluate the success of restoration projects, including large-scale activities such as landscape conversion and small-scale activities such as building enclosures and shrubby draw enhancement. Our studies also allow us to document basic distribution and life history information on little-known species. We share data with local conservation groups, our state's Natural Heritage Program, and national bird monitoring efforts such as "eBird", "HawkCount", and "Hummingbirds at Home." Though our main goal is to apply data towards our own on-the-ground restoration activities, collaborative and community outreach efforts broaden its application to larger topics, including regional land-use planning efforts and setting management guidelines for species of concern. Our hope is that our research will prompt other private landowners to invest in formal and/or informal bird monitoring efforts on their properties.

description: The article focuses on the condition of social justice and the international trading system. The current economic arrangement has caused the poorest countries to get worst while developing countries were forced to open up their markets and eliminate subsidies. Tariff structure has caused the developing countries to move up the value added chain in the transaction. However, trade liberalization has lead to an economic growth that has benefited several countries.

description: With our all-atomic squeezing and filtering setup, we demonstrate control over the noise amplitudes and manipulation of the frequency-dependent squeezing angle of a squeezed vacuum quantum state by passing it through an atomic medium with electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT). We generate low sideband frequency squeezed vacuum using the polarization self-rotation effect in a hot Rb vapor cell, and input it into a second atomic vapor subject to EIT conditions. We use the frequency-dependent absorption of the EIT window to demonstrate an example of squeeze amplitude attenuation and squeeze angle rotation of the quantum noise quadratures of the squeezed probe. These studies have implications for quantum memory and storage as well as gravitational wave interferometric detectors.
Beat Tracking by Dynamic Programming

description: Beat tracking — i.e. deriving from a music audio signal a sequence of beat instants that might correspond to when a human listener would tap his foot — involves satisfying two constraints. On the one hand, the selected instants should generally correspond to moments in the audio where a beat is indicated, for instance by the onset of a note played by one of the instruments. On the other hand, the set of beats should reflect a locally-constant inter-beat-interval, since it is this regular spacing between beat times that defines musical rhythm. These dual constraints map neatly onto the two constraints optimized in dynamic programming, the local match, and the transition cost. We describe a beat tracking system which first estimates a global tempo, uses this tempo to construct a transition cost function, then uses dynamic programming to find the best-scoring set of beat times that reflect the tempo as well as corresponding to moments of high 'onset strength' in a function derived from the audio. This very simple and computationally efficient procedure is shown to perform well on the MIREX-06 beat tracking training data, achieving an average beat accuracy of just under 60% on the development data. We also examine the impact of the assumption of a fixed target tempo, and show that the system is typically able to track tempo changes in a range of ±10% of the target tempo.
