description: OBJECTIVE: Hispanic/Latino individuals in the U.S. have the highest prevalence of undiagnosed and untreated diabetes and are at increased risk for cognitive impairment. In this study, we examine glycemic control in relation to cognitive aging and impairment in a large prospective cohort of middle-aged and older Hispanic/Latino individuals of diverse heritages.
RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: Study of Latinos-Investigation of Neurocognitive Aging (SOL-INCA) is a Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL) ancillary study. HCHS/SOL is a multisite (Bronx, NY; Chicago, IL; Miami, FL; and San Diego, CA), probability sampled prospective cohort study. SOL-INCA enrolled 6,377 diverse Hispanic/Latino individuals aged 50 years and older (2016-2018). The primary outcomes were cognitive function, 7-year cognitive decline, and mild cognitive impairment (MCI). The primary glycemia exposure variables were measured from fasting blood samples collected at HCHS/SOL visit 1 (2008-2011).
RESULTS: Visit 1 mean age was 56.5 years ± 8.2 SD, and the average glycosylated hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) was 6.12% (43.5 ± 14.6 mmol/mol). After covariate adjustment, higher HbA1c was associated with accelerated 7-year global (b = -0.045; 95% CI -0.070; -0.021; in z score units) and executive cognitive decline and a higher prevalence of MCI (odds ratio 1.20; 95% CI 1.11; 1.29).
CONCLUSIONS: Elevated HbA1c levels were associated with 7-year executive cognitive decline and increased MCI risk among diverse middle-aged and older Hispanic/Latino individuals. Our findings indicate that poor glycemic control in midlife may pose significant risks for cognitive decline and MCI later in life among Hispanic/Latino individuals of diverse heritages.

description: The effect of introducing a mass dependent diffusion rate ~ m^{-alpha} in a model of coagulation with single-particle break up is studied both analytically and numerically. The model with alpha=0 is known to undergo a nonequilibrium phase transition as the mass density in the system is varied from a phase with an exponential distribution of mass to a phase with a power-law distribution of masses in addition to a single infinite aggregate. This transition is shown to be curbed, at finite densities, for all alpha > 0 in any dimension. However, a signature of this transition is seen in finite systems in the form of a large aggregate and the finite size scaling implications of this are characterized. The exponents characterizing the steady state probability that a randomly chosen site has mass m are calculated using scaling arguments. The full probability distribution is obtained within a mean field approximation and found to compare well with the results from numerical simulations in one dimension.

description: Agricultural losses to pest represent an important challenge in a global warming scenario. Intercropping is an alternative farming practice that promotes pest control without the use of chemical pesticides. Here we develop a mathematical model to study epidemic spreading and control in intercropped agricultural fields as a sustainable pest management tool for agriculture. The model combines the movement of aphids transmitting a virus in an agricultural field, the spatial distribution of plants in the intercropped field, and the presence of `trap crops' in an epidemiological Susceptible-Infected-Removed (SIR) model. Using this model we study several intercropping arrangements without and with trap crops and find a new intercropping arrangement that improves significantly pest management in agricultural fields respect to the commonly used intercrop systems.

description: I present and summarize a software package ("LPipe") for completely automated, end-to-end reduction of both bright and faint sources with the Low-Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (LRIS) at Keck Observatory. It supports all gratings, grisms, and dichroics, and also reduces imaging observations, although it does not include multislit or polarimetric reduction capabilities at present. It is suitable for on-the-fly quicklook reductions at the telescope, for large-scale reductions of archival data-sets, and (in many cases) for science-quality post-run reductions of PI data. To demonstrate its capabilities the pipeline is run in fully-automated mode on all LRIS longslit data in the Keck Observatory Archive acquired during the 12-month period between August 2016 and July 2017. The reduced spectra (of 675 single-object targets, totaling ~200 hours of on-source integration time in each camera), and the pipeline itself, are made publicly available to the community.
description: Accepted to PASP. The demonstration archive of reduced spectra and validation plots is available at http://www.astro.ljmu.ac.uk/~aridperl/lris/archive/. The pipeline is available at http://www.astro.ljmu.ac.uk/~aridperl/lris/
Decommissioning planning for Saskatchewan's potash mines

Year: 2009

description: Saskatchewan's potash producing companies are now in the process of developing decommissioning and reclamation (D&R) plans for potash mines which were in operation many years before these plans were required by provincial regulations. The major problem is to develop a plan for the extensive piles of potash tails now stored on the surface in tails management areas. There are many features of potash mining which are unique to the mining industry. These include mining operations, refining processes, waste characteristics, waste management techniques, mine life, land tenure, public concern, pre-mining environment, and environmental risks. The D&R techniques commonly employed for tails have been considered for use on potash tails piles and have been found to be unsuitable. Potash operations in other jurisdictions have not decommissioned tails piles to a standard which would be acceptable in Saskatchewan. Since there are no precedents to use as a guide, the Saskatchewan industry and regulatory agency have cooperated in developing a novel approach to D&R planning. Because of the features unique to the industry and because of the fundamental differences between the regulatory agency and the industry about the magnitude of the risk inherent to potash tails, early in the process, it was agreed to assess the acceptability of various D&R proposals through a decision process which employed cost benefit analysis. Another area of disagreement between the parties was resolved by developing and using contaminant transport models to predict the subsurface movement of brine from the waste management areas through a multilayered environment, a unique problem requiring a unique approach. The D&R planning process being employed for potash mines in Saskatchewan has been formalized through the development of a flow diagram which is being followed to arrive at a solution acceptable to all parties.

description: Lakes provide important water resources and many essential ecosystem services. Some of Earth's largest lakes recently reached record‐low levels, suggesting increasing threats from climate change and anthropogenic activities. Yet, continuous monitoring of lake levels is challenging at a global scale due to the sparse in situ gauging network and the limited spatial or temporal coverage of satellite altimeters. A few pioneering studies used water areas and hypsometric curves to reconstruct water levels but suffered from large uncertainties due to the lack of high‐quality hypsometry data. Here, we propose a novel proxy‐based method to reconstruct multi‐decadal water levels from 1992 to 2018 for both large and small lakes using Landsat images and ICESat (2003–2009) and recently launched ICESat‐2 (2018+) laser altimeters. Using the new method, we evaluate reconstructed levels of 342 lakes worldwide, with sizes ranging from 1 to 81,844 km 2 . Reconstructed water levels have a median root‐mean‐square error (RMSE) of 0.66 m, equivalent to 57% of the standard deviation of monthly level variability. Compared with two recently reconstructed water level data sets, the proposed method reduces the median RMSE by 27%–32%. The improvement is attributable to the new method's robust construction of high‐quality hypsometry, with a median R 2 value of 0.92. Most reconstructed water level time series have a bi‐monthly or higher frequency. Given that ICESat‐2 and Landsat can observe hundreds of thousands of water bodies, this method can be applied to conduct an improved global inventory of time‐varying lake levels and thus inform water resource management more broadly than existing methods. 
Key Points    Landsat images and laser altimeters were leveraged to reconstruct multi‐decadal lake levels of both large and small lakes   Reconstructed water levels were validated against observed levels on 342 global lakes with a median error of 0.66 m   Most of the reconstructed lake level time series have a bi‐monthly or higher frequency

Canonical reduction of two-dimensional gravity for Particle Dynamics

description: We develop the formalism for canonical reduction of $(1+1)$--dimensional gravity coupled with a set of point particles by eliminating constraints and imposing coordinate conditions. The formalism itself is quite analogous to the $(3+1)$--dimensional case; however in $(1+1)$ dimensions an auxiliary scalar field is shown to have an important role. The reduced Hamiltonian is expressed as a form of spatial integral of the second derivative of the scalar field. Since in $(1+1)$ dimensions there exists no dynamical degree of freedom of the gravitational field ({\it i.e.} the transverse-traceless part of the metric tensor is zero), the reduced Hamiltonian is completely determined in terms of the particles' canonical variables (coordinates and momenta). The explicit form of the Hamiltonian is calculated both in post-linear and post-Newtonian approximations.

description: Materials handling operations on construction job sites are error prone and significantly decrease construction productivity. The deployment of automated data collection and sensing technologies on construction job sites can highly improve field materials management, eliminate data entry errors, and accelerate data collection processes. Based on their technical characteristics, benefits and barriers are discussed for each presented technology. Then, a case study demonstrates and quantifies some of the benefits of the deployment of a positioning technology within locating processes of large industrial projects. In a complementary effort, this thesis investigates the integration of materials' data within model-based information systems. A common pool of project information containing materials' identification and location would stimulate communication and collaboration among project players as a starting point to improve field materials management.

description: We employ the hemisphere comparison (HC) method and the dipole fitting (DF) method to investigate the cosmic anisotropy in the recently released Pantheon sample of type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) and five combinations among Pantheon. For the HC method, we find the maximum anisotropy level in the full Pantheon sample is $\mathrm{AL}_{max}=0.361\pm0.070$ and corresponding direction $(l,b)=({123.05^{\circ}}^{+11.25^{\circ}}_{-4.22^{\circ}}, {4.78^{\circ}}^{+1.80^{\circ}}_{-8.36^{\circ}})$. A robust check shows the statistical significance of maximum anisotropy level is about $2.1σ$. We also find that the Low-$z$ and SNLS subsamples have decisive impact on the overall anisotropy while other three subsamples have little impact. Moreover, the anisotropy level map significantly rely on the inhomogeneous distribution of SNe Ia in the sky. For the DF method, we find the dipole anisotropy in the Pantheon sample is very weak. The dipole magnitude is constrained to be less than $1.16\times10^{-3}$ at $95\%$ confidence level. However, the dipole direction is well inferred by MCMC method and it points towards $(l,b)=({306.00^{\circ}}^{+82.95^{\circ}}_{-125.01^{\circ}}, {-34.20^{\circ}}^{+16.82^{\circ}}_{-54.93^{\circ}})$. This direction is very close to the axial direction to the plane of SDSS subsample. It may imply that SDSS subsample is the decisive part to the dipole anisotropy in the full Pantheon sample. All these facts imply that the cosmic anisotropy found in Pantheon sample significantly rely on the inhomogeneous distribution of SNe Ia in the sky. More homogeneous distribution of SNe Ia is necessary to search for a more convincing cosmic anisotropy.

Multiscale thermo-hydro-mechanical-chemical coupling effects for fluid-infiltrating crystalline solids and geomaterials: theory, implementation, and validation

description: Extreme climate change and demanding energy resources have led to new geotechnical engineering challenges critical for sustainable development and resilient infrastructure of our society. Applications such as geological disposal of nuclear waste and carbon dioxide, artificial ground freezing, and hydraulic fractures all require an in-depth understanding of the thermo-hydro-mechanical coupling mechanisms of geomaterials subjected to various environmental impact. This dissertation presents a multiphysical computational framework dedicated to address the issues related to those unconventional applications.
      Our objective is not only incorporating multiphysical coupling effects at the constitutive laws, but also taking into account the nonlocal effects originated from the flow of pore-fluid, thermal convection and diffusion among solid and fluid constituents, and crystallization and recrystallization of crystals in the pore space across length scales. By considering these coupling mechanisms, we introduce a single unified model capable of predicting complex thermo-hydro-mechanical responses of geological and porous media across wide spectra of temperature, confining pressure and loading rate.
      This modeling framework applies to two applications, i.e., the freezing and thawing of frozen soil and the modeling of anisotropic crystal plasticity/fracture response of rock salt. Highlights of the key ingredients of the models cover the stabilization procedure used for the multi-field finite element, the return mapping algorithm for crystal plasticity, the micromorphic regularization of the Modified Cam-Clay model, and the strategy for enhancing computational efficiency of solvers, such as pre-conditioner, adaptive meshing, and internal variable mapping. By introducing the multiphysical coupling mechanisms explicitly, our computational geomechanics model is able to deliver more accurate and consistent results without introducing a significant amount of additional material parameters.
      In a parallel effort, we analyze the impact of thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) coupling effects on the dynamic wave propagation and strain localization in a fully saturated softening porous medium. The investigation starts with deriving the characteristic polynomial corresponding to the governing equations of the THM system. The theoretical analysis based on the Abel–Ruffini theorem reveals that the roots of the characteristic polynomial for the THM problem cannot be expressed algebraically. Our analysis concludes that the rate-dependence introduced by multiphysical coupling may not regularize the THM governing equations when softening occurs.

description: We construct two classes of singular Kobayashi hyperbolic surfaces in $P^3$. The first consists of generic projections of the cartesian square $V = C \times C$ of a generic genus $g \ge 2$ curve $C$ smoothly embedded in $P^5$. These surfaces have C-hyperbolic normalizations; we give some lower bounds for their degrees and provide an example of degree 32. The second class of examples of hyperbolic surfaces in $P^3$ is provided by generic projections of the symmetric square $V' = C_2$ of a generic genus $g \ge 3$ curve $C$. The minimal degree of these surfaces is 16, but this time the normalizations are not C-hyperbolic.

description: With the hundreds of merging binary black hole (BH) signals expected to be detected by LIGO/Virgo, LISA and other instruments in the next few years, the modeling of astrophysical channels that lead to the formation of compact-object binaries has become of fundamental importance. In this paper, we carry out a systematic statistical study of quadruple BHs consisting of two binaries in orbit around their center of mass, by means of high-precision direct $N$-body simulations including Post-Newtonian (PN) terms up to 2.5PN order. We found that most merging systems have high initial inclinations and the distributions peak at $\sim 90^\circ$ as for triples, but with a more prominent broad distribution tail. We show that BHs merging through this channel have a significant eccentricity in the LIGO band, typically much larger than BHs merging in isolated binaries and in binaries ejected from star clusters, but comparable to that of merging binaries formed via the GW capture scenario in clusters, mergers in hierarchical triples, or BH binaries orbiting intermediate-mass black holes in star clusters. We show that the merger fraction can be up to $\sim 3$--$4\times$ higher for quadruples than for triples. Thus even if the number of quadruples is $20\%$--$25\%$ of the number of triples, the quadruple scenario can represent an important contribution to the events observed by LIGO/VIRGO.

description: We reexamine the results presented in a recent work by Nielsen et al. [1], in which the properties of the noise residuals in the 40\,ms chirp domain of GW150914 were investigated. This paper confirmed the presence of strong (i.e., about 0.80) correlations between residual noise in the Hanford and Livingston detectors in the chirp domain as previously seen by us [2] when using a numerical relativity template given in [3]. It was also shown in [1] that a so-called maximum likelihood template can reduce these statistically significant cross-correlations. Here, we demonstrate that the reduction of correlation and statistical significance is due to (i) the use of a peculiar template which is qualitatively different from the properties of GW150914 originally published by LIGO, (ii) a suspicious MCMC chain, (iii) uncertainties in the matching of the maximum likelihood (ML) template to the data in the Fourier domain, and (iv) a biased estimation of the significance that gives counter-intuitive results. We show that rematching the maximum likelihood template to the data in the 0.2\,s domain containing the GW150914 signal restores these correlations at the level of $60\%$ of those found in [1]. With necessary corrections, the probability given in [1] will decrease by more than one order of magnitude. Since the ML template is itself problematic, results associated with this template are illustrative rather than final.

description: Here we present a simple extension to the age-old Kronig-Penney model, which is made to be bipartite by varying either the scatterer separations or the potential heights. In doing so, chiral (sublattice) symmetry can be introduced. When such a symmetry is present, topologically protected edge states are seen to exist. The solution proceeds through the conventional scattering formalism used to study the Kronig-Penney model, which does not require further tight-binding approximations or mapping into a Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model. The topological invariant for this specific system is found to be the winding of the reflection coefficient, ultimately linked to the system wavefunction. The solution of such a simple and illustrative 1D problem, whose topological content is extracted without requiring further tight-binding approximations, represents the novel aspect of our paper. The cases in which chiral symmetry is absent are then seen to not host topologically protected edge states, as verified by the behaviour of the reflection coefficient and the absence of winding.

description: While the topic of municipal annexation, the process of the expansion of municipal government boundaries to include previously unincorporated areas, has been examined by sociologists, legal scholars, and public administrators, it has received little attention from urban planning researchers in spite of its clear implications for issues that urban planners have historically focused on, such as: provision of services, education, power in the planning process, etc. This thesis spatially analyzes annexations from 1970 to 2010 in Little Rock, Shreveport, Baton Rouge, and Memphis and examines annexation in these cities during this time period. Presenting evidence that race was a contributing factor in these annexations, it follows other studies which have argued that the overall white proportion of a city was an important factor in annexation. Examining the history of annexation in the South and Midwest could provide another lens for understanding the hyper-localization of racial power and could further the understanding power in the planning processes. Thus, it argues further research into annexation, with respect to race and local power is needed.

Classical light is a multivariate vector field: at each wavelength and at each point in space, it is characterized an amplitude and phase for two orthogonal polarizations. “Metasurfaces” are a class of DOEs composed of subwavelength structures engineered to alter a featureless wavefront into a custom wavefront; a multivariate metasurface may control several parameters simultaneously and independently. If limited to low-loss dielectric materials, metasurfaces promise functionalities and efficiencies unparalleled in other DOEs, and are manufacturable by mature micro- and nanofabrication methods. Here, we expand the capabilities of metasurfaces to generate multivariate wavefronts. By engineering both the phase and the phase dispersion, we experimentally demonstrate metasurfaces focusing light to a single point independently of wavelength or polarization. By tuning the structural birefringence and in-plane orientation angle of rectangular nanostructures, we experimentally demonstrate arbitrary control of both phase and amplitude, enabling holography as it was originally envisioned. By maximizing the in-plane Bragg scattering of a Photonic Crystal Slab, and then successively adding symmetry-breaking perturbations to the otherwise perfect lattice, we may control angular dependence, optical lifetime, and polarization dependence of up to four optical resonances simultaneously and independently (which we study using Group Theory and fullwave simulations). By spatially varying the perturbations, the wavefronts at the resonance frequencies may be spatially tailored while the non-resonant frequencies are unaffected, promising DOEs uniquely suitable for augmented reality applications.

description: A Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is a loose interconnection among distributed embedded devices called motes. Motes have constrained sensing, computing, and communicating resources and operate for a long period of time on a small energy supply. Although envisioned as a platform for facilitating and inspiring a new spectrum of applications, after a decade of research the WSN is limited to collecting data and sporadically updating system parameters.  Programming other applications, including those that have real-time constraints, or designing WSNs operating with multiple applications require enhanced system architectures, new abstractions, and design methodologies. This dissertation introduces a system design methodology for multitasking on WSNs.  It allows programmers to create an abstraction of a single, integrated system running with multiple tasks. Every task has a dedicated protocol stack. Thus, different tasks can have different computation logics and operate with different communication protocols.  This facilitates the execution of heterogeneous applications on the same WSN and allows programmers to implement a variety of system services. The services that have been implemented provide energy-monitoring, tasks scheduling, and communication between the tasks. The experimental section evaluates implementations of the WSN software designed with the presented methodology. A new set of tools for testbed deployments is introduced and used to test examples of WSNs running with applications interacting with the physical world. Using remote testbeds with over 100 motes, the results show the feasibility of the proposed methodology in constructing a robust and scalable WSN system abstraction, which can improve the run-time performance of applications, such as data collection and point-to-point streaming.

description: The research studies how austerity frameworks affect the local scale of municipal public services in Puerto Rico. This thesis stems on one side from the passing of Hurricanes Irma and María in 2017 which further revealed the vulnerability of the Puerto Rican archipelago and its people, and present the islands-territory as a particular case study. Puerto Rico’s current status is framed by a persistent lack of economic development, unfolding financial decline and fiscal debt, a newly imposing oversight and management intervention by the United States, and an urgent need of post-disaster reconstruction–the question of public services becomes critical. The thesis formally asks, to what extent austerity impact public services delivery at a municipal level in Puerto Rico? The research argues that austerity strategies have translated to the municipal local level as fiscal discipline complicating the already intricate relation between central and local governments, as well as central and federal governments, exposing public and essential services to high uncertainty. There’s no evidence to protect and support municipal public services at any scale. The thesis argues that the body–and scale of local governance may be in the correct position to explore and foster planning practices that promote collaboration between the local and the central scale. The planning field largely allows for the articulation of public concerns, monitor metrics, mobilize discourses, and bridge a growing spatial inequality. The local scale delivery of public services– I would argue, can help guide the multiple agents–historical and present, to counter the impact of austerity.
Museum-Based Teacher Education: Teacher Meaning-Making at a Jewish Heritage Museum

description: This study answers the question of what meanings teacher-participants make in Holocaust professional development at a Jewish heritage museum in a mandate state. By understanding these meanings, the educational community can better understand how a particular context and approach influences teacher meaning-making and the ways in which museum teacher education programs shape the learning of participants. Meaning-making is a process of interpretation and understanding experiences in ways that make sense to each individual teacher. Meanings that are formed may impact teachers' pedagogic interpretation of the Holocaust, which may in turn shape their instructional practices. This instrumental case study used multiple interviews, observations, surveys and documents to explore the meanings teachers make about the Holocaust from participation in Holocaust professional development at a Jewish heritage museum. Participants in the study included nine teachers from public schools and private Jewish schools and two professional developers from the Museum. Each participant was interviewed three times, and six different professional development programs were observed over a period of six months. Programs typically lasted from one to six days and included a presentation by museum staff, Holocaust experts, and survivors. At any museum, each representation of the Holocaust conveys particular messages and mediates Holocaust history through a particular lens. This study reveals insights about how intended aims are interpreted in Holocaust professional development. Three categories emerged of meanings teachers made, namely (1) the hopeful narrative, (2) identity, and (3) the emotional narrative of the Holocaust. This study contributes to the larger field of professional development by partially filling in an area of missing scholarship on Holocaust professional development. Findings from this study may be used to plan future professional development programs on the Holocaust, as well as on other topics, through a deeper understanding of the meanings teachers make of multiple programs at one site.

Mine reclamation guidelines for the Northwest Territories and Nunavut
Creators: name: Chouinard, Rebecca
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia

description: The Mine Reclamation Guidelines for the Northwest Territories and Nunavut outline the expectations of the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development (DIAND) for closure and reclamation of mines in the Northwest Territories and Nunavut. These guidelines address: broad objectives for mine closure; design criteria; reclamation measures; temporary mine closure; special mines in northern Canada; considerations for northern mines; reclamation security; and, planning, monitoring, and reporting for mines. Common closure activities and reclaim options for mining facilities are summarized in these guidelines for the various mine components. These guidelines stress the importance of designing for closure; a concept requiring proponents to design, construct, and operate mines in order to meet the mine closure objectives. A mine closure and reclamation plan should be developed before mining operations begin and updated regularly to ensure that the reclamation objectives are being met throughout the life of the mine. The closure plan also provides a basis for the financial security required to carry out the necessary reclamation work.
