title: Assessing Affordable Housing Adequacy on the Atlanta Beltline
Creators: name: Ahn, Jungho
Publisher: name: Georgia Institute of Technology
Year: 2025

description: The Atlanta BeltLine has attracted public concern over gentrification. The City of Atlanta plans to mitigate gentrification and displacement of low-income population with affordable housing. One of Atlanta’s policies is an inclusionary zoning ordinance. This study aims to identify the adequacy of inclusionary zoning to add new affordable housing in Atlanta. The study is based on the proposition that it is preferable for affordable housing to be located near neighborhoods that are gentrifying or vulnerable to gentrification to reduce the social cost of relocation. To understand the relationship between gentrification and affordable housing in Atlanta, we developed a system to identify the gentrification stage using the ordinary least squares regression analysis. The results showed that the number of census tracts under influence of gentrification increased over time. This aligned with results of previous studies and the public concern over the expansion and intensification of gentrification in Atlanta in recent years. The BeltLine has played a critical role for this change. Moreover, the location of city’s affordable housing did not show any significant relationship with neighborhoods that are gentrifying or vulnerable to gentrification, demonstrating in turn that Atlanta’s policy to add new affordable housing fails to pursue the public good and mitigate gentrification by reducing the cost of relocation for displaced populations. The study concludes that supplementary policies are required to protect susceptible populations from gentrification.

description: Here we study the effect of Ca doping on charge transfer mechanism of polycrystalline YBa2Cu3O7-δ compound. The samples of composition Y1-xCaxBa2Cu3O7-δ (x = 0.00, 0.05, 0.10, 0.20 and 0.30) are synthesized through standard solid state reaction route. Carrier doping is controlled by annealing of samples in oxygen and subsequently in reducing atmosphere. Samples are investigated using resistivity, dc magnetization (M-T) and magnetization with field (M-H) measurements. With increase of Ca the transition temperature (Tc) decreases in oxygenated samples, whereas the same increases in reduced samples. Further reduction of samples at higher temperatures (> 600 0C) though results in non-superconducting nature up to Ca concentration of x = 0.20, the x = 0.30 sample is superconducting below 30K. This provides a remarkably simple and effective way to study the relationship between structure, superconductivity, and associated electronic properties. Variations in Cu1-O4, Cu2-O4 and Cu2-O2 bond lengths with oxygen content, is seen through the structural refinement of XRD pattern. The effective coordination of Cu2 atom with oxygen changes with the change in theses bond lengths and hence the holes in the CuO2 planes. The charge transfer mechanism from CuOx chains to CuO2 planes and thus effective hole doping is discussed in context of observed results.

description: 	This thesis includes four essays, of which each comprises two original contributions. Based on this thesis’ eight contributions, we add knowledge or understanding to the literatures on responsible investment, research output analyses and investment performance evaluation. First, we develop the first generic, reliable approach to benchmark research area output (e.g. journal articles or books), which we expect to appeal to governments’ increasing interest in monitoring their research funding investments. Second, we apply this approach to the research area of responsible investment, which is currently backed by an about $ 7 trillion industry. We find that the (quality weighted) quantity of responsible investment’s research output is statistically significantly under-proportional compared with peer research areas. One of several explanations for this result lies in the intransparency of the current responsible investment literature. Third, we develop an approach to research synthesis, which improves a research area’s transparency without experiencing many weaknesses of conventional literature reviews. We title this approach Influential Literature Analysis (ILA). Fourth, we apply ILA to the relatively intransparent responsible investment literature. One of our many findings is that responsible assets with their ceteris paribus under-proportional total risk might appear artificially unattractive when assessed by the most common investment performance measure, the Sharpe ratio, which is biased in favour of high risk assets due to its currently unsolved negative excess return problem. Fifth, we develop a generic, reliable and robust solution to the negative Sharpe ratio problem, which investors can customise according to their specific increasing incremental disutility of risk functions. Six, we generalise our solution to the negative Sharpe ratio problem, which allows us to solve the negative (excess) return problems of over twenty other investment performance measures. Seventh, we develop independent, statistically sophisticated tests of the sufficiency and quality of suggested solutions to the negative Sharpe ratio problem, since all existing tests a-priori assume the superiority of a specific solution. In contrast, our tests are only based on the Sharpe ratio itself and two basic axioms of investment theory. Hence, they are conceptually unrelated to our solutions. Eighth, we apply these tests using two different data samples to all existing solutions to the negative Sharpe ratio problem. We find that investors are best advised to use our solutions, the H⁶-, H⁷- or H⁸-measure, in their evaluation of investment performance from a Sharpe ratio like perspective.
Unraveling Orbital Correlations via Magnetic Resonant Inelastic X-ray Scattering

description: Although orbital degrees of freedom are a factor of fundamental importance in strongly correlated transition metal compounds, orbital correlations and dynamics remain very difficult to access, in particular by neutron scattering. Via a direct calculation of scattering amplitudes we show that instead magnetic resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) does reveal orbital correlations. In contrast to neutron scattering, the intensity of the magnetic excitations in RIXS depends very sensitively on both the symmetry of the orbitals that spins occupy, and on photon polarizations. We show in detail how this effect allows magnetic RIXS to distinguish between alternating orbital ordered and ferro-orbital (or orbital liquid) states.

description: The Self as a Process: A Dynamic Model of Identity and Consciousness

This paper explores the concept of self-as-a-process, challenging traditional views of identity as a fixed entity. By integrating neuroscience, cognitive science, and relational psychology, we propose that:

✅ Identity is fluid, shaped by interactions, experiences, and social contexts.✅ Neuroplasticity and the extended mind hypothesis redefine personal adaptability.✅ Consciousness emerges from relational processes rather than static selfhood.

📌 Important Update:This research is part of an evolving framework within FluidThinkers, where the exploration of dynamic identity continues to expand. For deeper discussions, practical applications, and further research:

description: This paper explores the transition from traditional Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) paradigms, which rely on structured learning models and fixed architectures, to Fluid Intelligence—a self-evolving, adaptive system capable of real-time structural modification. By examining the limitations of static AGI, we introduce the principles of decentralized cognition, emergent learning, and fractal decision-making, laying the foundation for a future where intelligence is no longer predefined but continuously reconfigures itself in response to its environment. This work presents a roadmap for transitioning from reactive intelligence to fully self-organizing, context-aware AGI and discusses the implications for AI ethics, human-AI symbiosis, and the future of cognition beyond human constraints.

Description:What if prime numbers aren't random, but rhythmic?This paper proposes a new perspective: primes arise not from chaos, but from a nonlinear resonance field—an aperiodic but coherent structure, like jazz.We introduce a field model $\mathcal{R}(x)$ where prime positions correspond to local maxima of informational tension, and define a “Prime Flow Operator” to capture the dynamic patterning of this invisible melody.

Forget what you thought about randomness.This isn’t noise. It’s music.And primes?They’re the rhythm you were born to feel.

Mathematically elegant. Conceptually inevitable.Goldbach is not a puzzle. It’s a frequency waiting to be tuned.

Commercialization of university research : the case of Nanjing, China
Creators: name: Fu, Xiao
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: The Chinese government is propelling commercialization of university research as a strategy to boost industrial innovation and upgrade economic structure. Nanjing, the national third largest hub of science and technology (S&T) resources, was selected in 2009 as the only pilot city for comprehensive S&T institutional reform. Based on in-depth key informant interviews, site visits and documents collected from multi-sources, this study examines the framework conditions as well as specific mechanisms of university research commercialization in Nanjing. This research also strives to broaden and deepen the existent literature on university-industry liaison in China, which is detected as empirically narrow, theoretically thin and analytically shallow. Following an introduction (chapter 1) and a literature review (chapter 2), a China-specific model to analyze regional/local innovation is designed based on a critical review of the development trajectory of innovation theories (chapter 3). Employing this theoretical tool, the multi-layer policies, institutions and programs set up by multi-scalar governments to govern innovation and technology commercialization in Nanjing are depicted and interrogated (chapter 4). At a conceptual level, this multi-layer framework apparatus displays a pattern of “hierarchical amplification”, which the author argues has led to propensities of overcapacity, irrationality and “mission creep” in China’s efforts at boosting innovation. Empirically, four sets of university-affiliated research commercialization channels operating under the multi-layer framework in Nanjing are studied – 1) university technology transfer offices, 2) enterprise-college-institute cooperation platforms, 3) university science parks, and 4) university spin-off companies (chapter 5). This thesis concludes by summarizing the research and identifying impediments in the current university research commercialization regime (chapter 6).

description: In this paper, we specify a class of mathematical problems, which we refer to as "Function Density Problems" (FDPs, in short), and point out novel connections of FDPs to the following two cryptographic topics; theoretical security evaluations of keyless hash functions (such as SHA-1), and constructions of provably secure pseudorandom generators (PRGs) with some enhanced security property introduced by Dubrov and Ishai [STOC 2006]. Our argument aims at proposing new theoretical frameworks for these topics (especially for the former) based on FDPs, rather than providing some concrete and practical results on the topics. We also give some examples of mathematical discussions on FDPs, which would be of independent interest from mathematical viewpoints. Finally, we discuss possible directions of future research on other cryptographic applications of FDPs and on mathematical studies on FDPs themselves.

title: Impacts of Mobile Computing on Construction Management: A Comprehensive Exploration
Creators: name: Olaonipekun Toyin, James
Publisher: name: Georgia Institute of Technology
Year: 2025

description: Two decades ago, technologies that promoted information management and communication in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry started receiving significant attention and improvement. Evidence for the impact of this improved management system was seen in the transformed design approach, coordination among the stakeholders, redefined construction cost, and timely project delivery by using building information modeling (BIM), cloud computing, and robotics, among others, as compared to the traditional method of design and construction. Recently, there has been high interest in the adoption of mobile computing in the construction industry. Although there is abundant empirical literature on mobile computing adoption in construction, a critical research gap exists regarding the current trend and impact of this state-of-the-art technology in the construction phase. This study addresses this gap by investigating how mobile computing, as part of information and communication technologies (ICTs), is revolutionizing construction site management by drawing insights from published empirical studies and conducting bibliometric analyses from 2005 to 2023. We found that there have been various attempts to develop models and road maps to select the right mobile app for construction management. The major focus was on the use of mobile computing for construction worker safety, material monitoring, and quality control. This study adds valuable insights to the understanding of the evolving dynamics between mobile computing and construction management and proposes an improved framework for mobile application selection in the construction industry. These findings provide broader insight into the evolutionary trends of mobile computing in the construction industry. In addition, the findings will inform researchers, academia, and developers of the latest updates on mobile computing capacity for the AEC industry and the importance of adopting mobile computing in construction management.

description: We study gluon scattering amplitudes/Wilson loops in N=4 super Yang-Mills theory at strong coupling which correspond to minimal surfaces with a light-like polygonal boundary in AdS_3. We find a concise expression of the remainder function in terms of the T-function of the associated thermodynamic Bethe ansatz (TBA) system. Continuing our previous work on the analytic expansion around the CFT/regular-polygonal limit, we derive a formula of the leading-order expansion for the general 2n-point remainder function. The T-system allows us to encode its momentum dependence in only one function of the TBA mass parameters, which is obtained by conformal perturbation theory. We compute its explicit form in the single mass cases. We also find that the rescaled remainder functions at strong coupling and at two loops are close to each other, and their ratio at the leading order approaches a constant near 0.9 for large n.

Phase dependent view of Cyclotron lines from model accretion mounds on Neutron Stars

description: In this paper we make a phase dependent study of the effect of the distortion of local magnetic field due to confinement of accreted matter in X-ray pulsars on the cyclotron spectra emitted from the hotspot . We have numerically solved the Grad-Shafranov equation for axisymmetric static MHD equilibria of matter confined at the polar cap of neutron stars. From our solution we model the cyclotron spectra that will be emitted from the region, using a simple prescription and integrating over the entire mound. Radiative transfer through the accretion column overlying the mound may significantly modify the spectra in comparison to those presented here. However we ignore this in the present paper in order to expose the effects directly attributable to the mound itself. We perform a spin phase dependent analysis of the spectra to study the effect of the viewing geometry.

Flooding the border : development, politics, and environmental controversy in the Canadian-U.S. Skagit Valley
Creators: name: Van Huizen, Philip
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: This dissertation is a case study of the 1926 to 1984 High Ross Dam Controversy, one of the longest cross-border disputes between Canada and the United States. The controversy can be divided into two parts. The first, which lasted until the early 1960s, revolved around Seattle’s attempts to build the High Ross Dam and flood nearly twenty kilometres into British Columbia’s Skagit River Valley. British Columbia favoured Seattle’s plan but competing priorities repeatedly delayed the province’s agreement. The city was forced to build a lower, 540-foot version of the Ross Dam instead, to the immense frustration of Seattle officials. British Columbia eventually agreed to let Seattle raise the Ross Dam by 122.5 feet in 1967. Following the agreement, however, activists from Vancouver and Seattle, joined later by the Upper Skagit, Sauk-Suiattle, and Swinomish Tribal Communities in Washington, organized a massive environmental protest against the plan, causing a second phase of controversy that lasted into the 1980s. Canadian and U.S. diplomats and politicians finally resolved the dispute with the 1984 Skagit River Treaty. British Columbia agreed to sell Seattle power produced in other areas of the province, which, ironically, required raising a different dam on the Pend d’Oreille River in exchange for not raising the Ross Dam. I make two broad arguments about the controversy that differ from how stories of environmental conflict are usually told. First, the two types of politics that defined each era of the six-decade controversy – the politics of development and the politics of the environment – were not antithetical; rather, both were part of a larger tension between modernization and the politics of place. Politicians had to balance large-scale, universalized ideas about both dams and wilderness with sentiment tied to territorial boundaries, and often delayed or deferred making decisions about the controversy as a result. Second, representatives from various levels of government in Canada and the United States eventually solved this tension with a type of liberal environmentalist compromise that hinged on the belief that residents had a right to both cheap energy and pristine nature.

description: We define "t-stratifications", a strong notion of stratifications for Henselian valued fields $K$ of equi-characteristic 0, and prove that they exist. In contrast to classical stratifications in Archimedean fields, t-stratifications also contain non-local information about the stratified sets. For example, they do not only see the singularities in the valued field, but also those in the residue field. Like Whitney stratifications, t-stratifications exist for different classes of subsets of $K^n$, e.g. algebraic subvarieties or certain classes of analytic subsets. The general framework are definable sets (in the sense of model theory) in a language that satisfies certain hypotheses. We give two applications. First, we show that t-stratifications in suitable valued fields $K$ induce classical Whitney stratifications in $\Bbb R$ or $\Bbb C$; in particular, the existence of t-stratifications implies the existence of Whitney stratifications. This uses methods of non-standard analysis. Second, we show how, using t-stratifications, one can determine the ultra-metric isometry type of definable subsets of $\Bbb Z_p^n$ for $p$ sufficiently big. For those $p$, this proves a conjecture stated in a previous article. In particular, this yields a new, geometric proof of the rationality of Poincaré series.

description: Remote sensing, a method of collecting data about Earth's physical and environmental characteristics from a distance, is pivotal in evidence-based conservation efforts. This technology, often implemented through satellites, aeroplanes, drones, and more, provides valuable insights into Earth's surface, atmosphere, and oceans by detecting and classifying signals such as electromagnetic radiation. Remote sensing is employed in various scientific fields, including ecology and conservation biology, and offers a multitude of applications, from habitat mapping and biodiversity assessment to climate change impact analysis and disaster management. With its ability to transform image data into quantifiable three-dimensional maps and provide empirical data for evidence-based decision-making, remote sensing emerges as a powerful tool in enhancing the effectiveness of conservation strategies and addressing global environmental challenges.

Entanglement as the Foundation of Space-Time: A New Connection between Relativity and Quantum Mechanics
Creators: name: Patrone, Luca

Year: 2025

description: Abstract

Modern physics is stuck in a fundamental contradiction: general relativity and quantum mechanics describe reality using incompatible models. In this paper, we propose a new approach that considers quantum entanglement not only as a local phenomenon between particles but as the fundamental structure that gives rise to space-time itself. This model offers a synthesis that could overcome current limitations and provide a coherent framework between gravity and quantum physics.

description: Plaskett's star is a spectroscopic binary, with two O star components in the spectrum, one of which has a strong magnetic field. This system represents one of the very few hot, massive, multiple star systems where a magnetic field is present. The narrow-line spectroscopic component shows a clear short orbital period of 14.396 days, while the motion of the broad-line component is less clear. Using spectropolarimetric observations of Plaskett's star from ESPaDOnS at the CFHT in circular polarization (Stokes V), we clearly detect a magnetic field in the broad-line component. We then model the observed Stokes V profiles using Zeeman Doppler Imaging to reconstruct the magnetic field of the broad-line component. We find the magnetic field has a strong dipolar component, however there are also important departures from a simple dipole. Our preliminary results find an average magnetic field strength of 430 G, and a strength of the dipolar component of 700 G at the pole. The field is almost completely poloidal (only 5% of the magnetic energy is toroidal), 65% of the poloidal energy is in the dipole, 22% in the quadrupole, and 13% in higher order multipoles. The dipolar component has an obliquity near 90 degrees and the magnetic field is dominantly non-symmetric about the rotation axis. The Stokes V observations can be fully explained by the magnetic field of the broad-line component, thus we find no evidence for a magnetic field in the narrow-line star. The Stokes V observations provide some constraints on the physical parameters of the broad-line star and its motion. In particular, matching the observations requires the broad-line component to have very little radial velocity variability, challenging the interpretation of this system as a binary with similar mass stars.

description: The Entangled Universe: How Space-Time Arises from Quantum Information

This paper presents a novel theoretical framework proposing that space-time emerges from quantum entanglement rather than being a fundamental entity. By integrating principles from General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics, we introduce a mathematical model where gravity arises as an emergent phenomenon driven by quantum correlations. This approach seeks to address the long-standing incompatibility between these two foundational theories and provides a potential pathway for unifying them within a coherent structure.

Key Topics:

The unresolved conflict between General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics.

A novel model treating space-time as a quantum information network.

The reinterpretation of black holes as extreme entanglement structures and their entropy calculations.

Implications for quantum communication and gravitational engineering.

Comparisons with Loop Quantum Gravity, String Theory, and the holographic principle.

This work aims to bridge conceptual gaps in modern physics and outline experimental pathways for future validation, particularly through black hole observations, gravitational wave analysis, and quantum teleportation experiments.

The mechanism of anti-proliferation of Halofuginone in T cells.
Creators: name: Chu, Tony Lok Heng
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Inactivation of T cells is a widely used strategy for immunosuppression. Halofuginone (HF) is an antiprotozoal agent for treating parasites in veterinary medicine, and has been demonstrated to inhibit collagen type 1 synthesis, T helper 17 cell differentiations and cytokine production in activated T cells. The present study was designed to examine its actions against T cell proliferation, and in a combined therapy with conventional immunosuppressant rapamycin. To examine the anti-proliferative ability of HF, T cell proliferation in cultured murine splenocytes, cell apoptosis, and cell cycle analysis as well as autophagy markers were investigated. The expression of cleaved Poly ADP ribose polymerase and DNA fragmentation were further to characterize apoptosis. Here, I showed that addition of HF in naïve splenocyte cultures significantly suppressed cell proliferation in response to antigen- or anti-CD3 antibody or in activated T cell cultures in response to Interleukin (IL)-2 in a dose-dependent manner with activation of apoptosis, and cell cycle arrest at S phase. Further studies showed that proline supplement in cell culture medium significantly prevented HF-mediated suppression of T cell proliferation by reducing cell apoptosis and proliferation arrest. In addition, HF synergistically enhanced the anti-proliferative ability of rapamycin, which was correlated with increased induction of apoptosis in T cell cultures. My data suggests that HF interferes proline incorporation in protein synthesis machinery resulting in apoptosis and autophagy-induced cell cycle arrest via amino acid starvation response in T cells. The data of this study suggest that HF may be a potential adjuvant that can enhance anti-proliferative activity of rapamycin in preventing T cell proliferation.

description: Time-reversal invariant three-dimensional topological insulators can be defined fundamentally by a topological field theory with a quantized axion angle theta of zero or pi. It was recently shown that fractional quantized values of theta are consistent with time-reversal invariance if deconfined, gapped, fractionally charged bulk excitations appear in the low-energy spectrum due to strong correlation effects, leading to the concept of a fractional topological insulator. These fractionally charged excitations are coupled to emergent gauge fields which ensure that the microscopic degrees of freedom, the original electrons, are gauge-invariant objects. A first step towards the construction of microscopic models of fractional topological insulators is to understand the nature of these emergent gauge theories and their corresponding phases. In this work, we show that low-energy effective gauge theories of both Abelian or non-Abelian type are consistent with a fractional quantized axion angle if they admit a Coulomb phase or a Higgs phase with gauge group broken down to a discrete subgroup. The Coulomb phases support gapless but electrically neutral bulk excitations while the Higgs phases are fully gapped. The Higgs and non-Abelian Coulomb phases exhibit multiple ground states on boundaryless spatial 3-manifolds with nontrivial first homology, while the Abelian Coulomb phase has a unique ground state. The ground state degeneracy receives an additional contribution on manifolds with boundary due to the induced boundary Chern-Simons term.

description: We investigate theoretically the phase diagram of a spin-orbit coupled Bose gas in two-dimensional harmonic traps. We show that discrete Landau levels develop at strong spin-orbit coupling. For a weakly interacting gas, quantum states with skyrmion lattice patterns emerge spontaneously and preserve either parity symmetry or combined parity-time-reversal symmetry. These phases can be readily observed by experimentally engineering spin-orbit coupling and interatomic interactions for a cloud of $^{87}$Rb atoms in a highly oblate trap.
