description: This thesis explores theories of multilocality, place-making, ethnoscape, authenticity and vernacular politics as a means of understanding expressions of place and heritage preservation within a complex urban space. Regarding authenticity, heritage and heritage preservation, this thesis contrasts the perspectives of local residents and business owners with city program managers in three neighborhoods of East Baltimore, Maryland. Baltimore, as a field site, is significant because efforts to preserve local heritage and define authentic places have intensified in the last ten years as the effects of urban revitalization are felt in the city’s neighborhoods. Economic growth and a shift from an industrial to a mixed residential-commercial use in some neighborhoods have brought an influx of new ethnic groups and social classes to historically white, working-class neighborhoods. As a result, the number and scope of authenticity programs has increased since the city’s first historic district was designated in 1969. Authenticity programs discussed here include historic districts (as designated by the National Register of Historic Places), the Main Street program (as designated by the National Trust for Historic Preservation and managed by city employees), the state-sponsored Baltimore Heritage Area (as designated by the Maryland Heritage Areas Authority and managed by city employees), and the proposed federally-designated Baltimore National Heritage Area (which would be designated by Congress and associated with the National Park Service). The research was conducted using ethnographic methods of participant observation, face-to- face interview, and study of ethnographic products including artwork, architecture, festivals, food, newspapers, brochures, flyers, websites, promotional and documentary film and other community publications. Research also included a review of related public records, such as legislation, news releases, feasibility studies, management plans, reports, and official websites. This thesis adds to the growing body of knowledge about the role and impacts of authenticity programs, such as heritage areas, in community development and preservation. It expands the understanding of how ethnographic space is defined and created within an urban setting.

description: Hygrophorineae Aime, Dentinger & Gaya subord. nov.
 Name registration: IF551135
 Type family: Hygrophoraceae Lotsy, Vortr. bot. Stammesgesch: 706 (1907).
Basidiomata primarily clavarioid or agaricoid, often pigmented with carotenoids and waxy. Hyphae monomitic, usually with clamp connections, nonamyloid. Cystidia normally absent; basidia normally 2–4 spored; basidiospores hyaline.
 Representative families: Clavariaceae Chevall., Hygrophoraceae.
 Notes: This suborder is equivalent to Hygrophoraceae and Clavariaceae sensu Matheny et al. (2006) and Hygrophoroid clade plus Clavariaceae fide Bin- der et al. (2010). Ryberg & Matheny (2011) also recovered a statistically support monophyletic group of Hygrophoraceae and Clavariaceae. There is growing evidence that the preponderance of species may be biotrophic and many members form associations with grasses, mosses, and bryophytes (Seitzman et al., 2011; Birkebak et al., 2013; Halbwachs et al., 2013; Lodge et al., 2014). Development of carotenoid pigments is also especially diverse in this suborder.

description: The present work focuses on the alumina particles size evolution inside the nozzle. For this purpose, an experimental and numerical investigation is proposed, focusing on two main topics: (1) development of a novel experimental device enabling nozzle-flow visualization. This apparatus consists of a twodimensional windowed rocket motor operating at pressure up to 15 bar, recording the propellant burning and flowfield evolution by means of a high speed camera. (2) Coupling of an Eulerian gas phase description and Lagrangian particle tracking in the open-source environment OpenFOAM to simulate clouds of particles of different size in a supersonic environment.

description: We present simple explicit estimates for the apparent reaction rate constant for three molecular reactions, which are important in catalysis. For small concentrations and $d> 1$, the apparent reaction rate constant depends only on the diffusion coefficients and sizes of the particles. For small concentrations and $d\le 1$, it is also time -- dependent. For large concentrations, it gains the dependence on concentrations.

description: Objective: The aim of this analysis was to examine treatment patterns in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in routine clinical practice in the United States, including factors influencing the choice of front-line treatment intensity and the effect of age and treatment line. Methods: We used data from the Adelphi AML Disease Specific Programme, a real-world, cross-sectional survey conducted in 2015. Physicians completed patient record forms providing patients’ demographic and clinical characteristics. Results: In total, 61 academic, non-academic, and office-based hematologists and hematology/oncology specialists provided data on 457 patients with AML; 284 had ≥20% blasts (World Health Organization defined AML) and were included in the analysis. In the front-line setting, 60% of patients received high-intensity therapy, most commonly cytarabine plus anthracycline; the most common low-intensity treatments were hypomethylating agents. Primary drivers for selecting high-intensity versus low-intensity treatment were age, performance status and comorbidities; 67%, 64% and 61% of physicians stated they would prescribe high-intensity treatment to patients aged <65 years, with good performance status or no comorbidities, respectively. In practice, patients aged <60 years were more likely to receive high-intensity induction treatment (high vs. low intensity by age p Conclusions: Most patients in this analysis of real-world survey data received well established, front-line induction therapies. Treatment intensity was determined by age, comorbidities and performance status, as recommended by guidelines.

description: We describe a novel state of electrons and phonons arising in semiconductor superlattices (SSL) due to strong electron-phonon interactions. These states are characterized by a localization of phonons and a self-trapping or locking of electrons in one or several quantum wells due to an additional, deformational potential arising around these locking wells in SSL. The effect is enhanced in a longitudinal magnetic field. Using the tight-binding and adiabatic approximations the whole energy spectrum of the self-trapped states is found and accurate, analytic expressions are included for strong electron-phonon coupling. Finally, we discuss possible experiments which may detect these predicted self-trapped states.

 Name registration: IF551136
 Type family: Pleurotaceae K uhner €, Bull. mens. Soc. linn. Lyon 49: 184 (1980).
Basidiomata primarily clavarioid to pleurotoid, occasionally agaricoid, often tough textured. Hyphae often dimitic, hyaline, non-amyloid; clamp connections often present. Basidia clavate, 2–4 spored, and, in some species, interspersed with thick-walled encrusted cystidia; basidiospores hyaline.
 Representative families: Pleurotaceae, Pterulaceae Corner.
 Notes: Pleurotineae is equivalent to Pleurotaceae (ex-Pluteoid clade) + Pterulaceae (ex-Hygrophoroid clade) fide Matheny et al. (2006). We did not sample exemplars of Typhulaceae, Sarcomyxa or Xeromphalina, which were recovered with Pterulaceae by Matheny et al. (2006), although they might also belong here. This lineage can be characterized by the development of dimitic hyphae in many members and thick-walled encrusted hymenial cystidia. Although most members of this group are saprobic, a diverse range of symbiotic lifestyles is present, including nematophagy (Pleurotus), ant mutualisms (Pterula velohorta, P. nudihorta), and a plant pathogen (e.g. Pterulicium xylogenum).

description: Quantitative crew safety assessment method was proposed, and continuous research efforts had been made to maximize the crew safety to keep sustainability of the challenging human space flight missions. Key physics-based models to predict the water landing accelerations and the crew injury risk for the transient dynamic loads were developed. Two hazardous scenarios are considered, the one is the large dynamic loads due to the off-nominal excessive water landing speed and the unfavourable crew module attitude and the other is due to the blast-wave over pressure generated by the launch vehicles\' failures. At first, these dynamic loads were predicted and selected as the reference conditions for the crew injury risk predictions. Multi-body dynamics and finite-element models of Hybrid III anthropomorphic test device (ATD) were validated by the comparison with the sled test with including the lateral impact, which is the specific conditions of the human space flight. Crew injury risk was evaluated for the reference dynamic load conditions, and the injury mechanisms were investigated based on the numerical and the sled test results. Quantitative crew injury risk assessment was carried out for the water landing loads of the capsule-type crew module concept. Water landing accelerations under wide range of landing conditions were obtained based on the fluid and structure interaction analysis based on Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) solver and the penalty coupling method of LS-DYNA(R). Corresponding crew injury risk distributions were also predicted by using the multi-body dynamics model of Hybrid III ATD for the rigid seat. Key findings of the crew injury mechanism to improve the crew safety were obtained and presented. Finally, the design for safety studies on the spaceship seat were conducted to maximize the crew safety. Large magnitude accelerations were successfully reduced by the design optimization of the lateral and axial dampers. It was confirmed that the resulting injury metrics values even for the most severe landing condition are within the NASA\'s acceptance risk level for the off-nominal cases. It was found that the design for safety strategies such as the zero-gap concept and the adapted seat liner with the soft padding are key elements to achieve higher-level of crew safety.

description: We analyze the phenomenological consequences of embedding a flavor symmetry based on the groups $A_5$ and CP in a supersymmetric framework. We concentrate on the leptonic sector, where two different residual symmetries are assumed to be conserved at LO for charged and neutral leptons. All possible realizations to generate neutrino masses at tree level are investigated. Sizable flavor violating effects in the charged lepton sector are unavoidable due to the non-universality of soft-breaking terms determined by the symmetry. We derive testable predictions for the neutrino spectrum, lepton mixing and flavor changing processes with non-trivial relations among observables.

description: New interactions appearing at a scale $Λ$ larger than the weak interaction scale v can affect physical processes at energies below $Λ$ through non-renormalizable $SU(3)\times SU(2)\times U(1)_y$ invariant operators added to the standard model Lagrangian. In this article we investigate the effect of flavor conserving contact interactions on the total cross-section for the process $e^+e^-\to HZ$ at $\sqs =500$ Gev. We find that for $Λ\approx 2.5 $ Tev, which is consistent with LEP and SLD asymmetry measurements on Z peak as well as theoretical estimates, these operators can increase the total cross-section by a factor of 3 relative to the SM for intermediate mass higgs boson.

description: Recent studies have highlighted the high correlation between cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and lung cancer, and both are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Low-Dose CT (LCDT) scans have led to significant improvements in the accuracy of lung cancer diagnosis and thus the reduction of cancer deaths. However, the high correlation between lung cancer and CVD has not been well explored for mortality prediction. This paper introduces a knowledge-based analytical method using deep convolutional neural network (CNN) for all-cause mortality prediction. The underlying approach combines structural image features extracted from CNNs, based on LDCT volume in different scale, and clinical knowledge obtained from quantitative measurements, to comprehensively predict the mortality risk of lung cancer screening subjects. The introduced method is referred to here as the Knowledge-based Analysis of Mortality Prediction Network, or KAMP-Net. It constitutes a collaborative framework that utilizes both imaging features and anatomical information, instead of completely relying on automatic feature extraction. Our work demonstrates the feasibility of incorporating quantitative clinical measurements to assist CNNs in all-cause mortality prediction from chest LDCT images. The results of this study confirm that radiologist defined features are an important complement to CNNs to achieve a more comprehensive feature extraction. Thus, the proposed KAMP-Net has shown to achieve a superior performance when compared to other methods. Our code is available at https://github.com/DIAL-RPI/KAMP-Net.

description: It is found that in presence of electroweak interactions the gauge covariant diagonalization of the axial-vector -- pseudoscalar mixing in the effective meson Lagrangian leads to a deviation from the vector meson and the axial-vector meson dominance of the entire hadronic electroweak current. The essential features of such a modification of the theory are investigated in the framework of the extended Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model with explicit breaking of chiral $U(2) \times U(2)$ symmetry. The Schwinger-DeWitt method is used as a major tool in our study of the real part of the relevant effective action. Some straightforward applications are considered.

description: This paper explores one interpretation of quantum mechanics: that perhaps the waves of quantum mechanics are real and the particles, i.e. the quanta, are merely properties of atoms, the atoms which are responsible for launching and absorbing the waves. In this interpretation, the waves of quantum mechanics are emitted in discrete quanta, but after emission they spread out as waves do. A detector's atoms are continuously bathed in a sea of zero point noise which is in equilibrium with these atoms. An outside wave, even if faint, will throw off this equilibrium which results in one or more atoms in a particle detector absorbing a quantum partially from the wave and partially from the zero point noise field. In this article we show that the number of atoms absorbing a quantum will be proportional to the energy density of the external wave.

description: Relations between Colombia and the United States have been simultaneously complex and peculiar. Bogotá has been a traditional ally of Washington’s with respect to international law, democracy, and multilateralism, and the international order promoted by the United States after 1945. However, both Colombia’s internal conflicts and its drug-related problems have affected that country’s image since the 1950s. This has also limited bilateral relations and has facilitated the prioritization of U.S. military and social aid (via Plan Colombia) toward the defeat of the insurgency—and even more so after the 9/11 attacks, which resulted in the two countries growing closer due to the mutual sympathy between Presidents Uribe and Bush.

description: A microscopic theory of the free energy barriers and folding routes for minimally frustrated proteins is presented, greatly expanding on the presentation of the variational approach outlined previously [J. J. Portman, S. Takada, P. G. Wolynes, Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 81}, 5237 (1998)]. We choose the $λ$-repressor protein as an illustrative example and focus on how the polymer chain statistics influence free energy profiles and partially ordered ensembles of structures. In particular, we investigate the role of chain stiffness on the free energy profile and folding routes. We evaluate the applicability of simpler approximations in which the conformations of the protein molecule along the folding route are restricted to have residues that are either entirely folded or unfolded in contiguous stretches. We find that the folding routes obtained from only one contiguous folded region corresponds to a chain with a much greater persistence length than appropriate for natural protein chains, while the folding route obtained from two contiguous folded regions is able to capture the relatively folded regions calculated within the variational approach. The free energy profiles obtained from the contiguous sequence approximations have larger barriers than the more microscopic variational theory which is understood as a consequence of partial ordering.

description: Item response theory (IRT) can be applied to the analysis of the evaluation of results from AI benchmarks. The two-parameter IRT model provides two indicators (difficulty and discrimination) on the side of the item (or AI problem) while only one indicator (ability) on the side of the respondent (or AI agent). In this paper we analyse how to make this set of indicators dual, by adding a fourth indicator, generality, on the side of the respondent. Generality is meant to be dual to discrimination, and it is based on difficulty. Namely, generality is defined as a new metric that evaluates whether an agent is consistently good at easy problems and bad at difficult ones. With the addition of generality, we see that this set of four key indicators can give us more insight on the results of AI benchmarks. In particular, we explore two popular benchmarks in AI, the Arcade Learning Environment (Atari 2600 games) and the General Video Game AI competition. We provide some guidelines to estimate and interpret these indicators for other AI benchmarks and competitions.

It is a momentary meditation on border and identity conflicts that creates an obstruction for reconnecting to the memory of the path of their both Lebanese and Armenian Christian identity. I challenge in my thesis the representation process of reconstructing the memory, collectively, within the exhibition space in order to depict the realm of universal quest of existence.

description: This article, through a Foreign Policy Analysis (FPA) perspective, analyses the only longterm foreign policy decision ever made in Colombia. Since FPA portrays a theory of human political choice to analyse foreign policy behaviour, this analysis will specifically focus on Plan Colombia’s decision-makers as a case study using empirical examples. The purpose is to understand the specificity of this foreign policy decision-making process from an unexplored perspective, namely Groupthink theory. Although Janis has asserted that the process would negatively affect decision-making quality, this article contradicts this assumption based on both the boundaries and opportunities encountered when applying mainstream FPA to a non-US case study. As such, a major challenge remains when it comes to judging quality and, correspondingly, expecting certain outcomes. This article demonstrates that group cohesiveness and concurrence-seeking tendencies may be useful for explaining successful foreign policy decision outcomes.

description: In lieu of an abstract here is the first paragraph: No other species remotely approaches the human capacity for the cultural evolution of novelty that is accumulative, adaptive, and open-ended (i.e., with no a priori limit on the size or scope of possibilities). By culture we mean extrasomatic adaptations--including behavior and technology--that are socially rather than sexually transmitted. This chapter synthesizes research from anthropology, psychology, archaeology, and agent-based modeling into a speculative yet coherent account of two fundamental cognitive transitions underlying human cultural evolution that is consistent with contemporary psychology. While the chapter overlaps with a more technical paper on this topic (Gabora & Smith 2018), it incorporates new research and elaborates a genetic component to our overall argument. The ideas in this chapter grew out of a non-Darwinian framework for cultural evolution, referred to as the Self-other Reorganization (SOR) theory of cultural evolution (Gabora, 2013, in press; Smith, 2013), which was inspired by research on the origin and earliest stage in the evolution of life (Cornish-Bowden & Cárdenas 2017; Goldenfeld, Biancalani, & Jafarpour, 2017, Vetsigian, Woese, & Goldenfeld 2006; Woese, 2002). SOR bridges psychological research on fundamental aspects of our human nature such as creativity and our proclivity to reflect on ideas from different perspectives, with the literature on evolutionary approaches to cultural evolution that aspire to synthesize the behavioral sciences much as has been done for the biological scientists. The current chapter is complementary to this effort, but less abstract; it attempts to ground the theory of cultural evolution in terms of cognitive transitions as suggested by archaeological evidence.

description: Schizophyllineae Aime, Dentinger & Gaya subord. nov.
 Name registration: IF551137
 Type family: Schizophyllaceae Quel., Fl. mycol. France (Paris): 365 (1888).
Basidiomata typically astipitate with a tubular or cupulate hymenophore. Hyphae are monomitic, usually presenting clamp connections, non-amyloid, and often gelatinous. Basidia four spored and basidiospores hyaline. Cystidia absent.
 Representative families: Fistulinaceae Lotsy, Schizophyllaceae.
 Notes: Schizophyllineae is equivalent to schizophylloid clade of Moncalvo et al. (2002). The Lachnellaceae, which was recovered as the sister group to Schizophyllaceae by Matheny et al. (2006) and Binder et al. (2010), might also belong here. Species are readily distinguished by the unusual tubular or cupulate hymenophore that predominates in members of this group. Ecologically, this group is characterized by saprotrophy, with both white- (Schizophyllum) and brown- (Fistulina) rot capacity.

Cooperation and Discord in South America in the Twenty-First Century: The Consequences of the Colombia-United States Military Agreement of 2009

Subjects: subject: 160607 International Relations

description: Relations between Colombia and the United States have been simultaneously complex and peculiar. Bogotá has been a traditional ally of Washington’s with respect to international law, democracy, and multilateralism, and the international order promoted by the United States after 1945. However, both Colombia’s internal conflicts and its drug-related problems have affected that country’s image since the 1950s. This has also limited bilateral relations and has facilitated the prioritization of U.S. military and social aid (via Plan Colombia) toward the defeat of the insurgency—and even more so after the 9/11 attacks, which resulted in the two countries growing closer due to the mutual sympathy between Presidents Uribe and Bush.

description: This paper presents a novel end-to-end approach to program repair based on sequence-to-sequence learning. We devise, implement, and evaluate a system, called SequenceR, for fixing bugs based on sequence-to-sequence learning on source code. This approach uses the copy mechanism to overcome the unlimited vocabulary problem that occurs with big code. Our system is data-driven; we train it on 35,578 samples, carefully curated from commits to open-source repositories. We evaluate it on 4,711 independent real bug fixes, as well on the Defects4J benchmark used in program repair research. SequenceR is able to perfectly predict the fixed line for 950/4711 testing samples, and find correct patches for 14 bugs in Defects4J. It captures a wide range of repair operators without any domain-specific top-down design.

VERIFICATION AND VALIDATION

description: Model based algorithm and space software development only obtains partial benefits if the validation has to be carried out on the target embedded-system. This especially applies to numerical computation algorithms. Standards such as the IEEE-754 for floating-point arithmetic clarify the situation but numerical reproducibility issues between systems used for development and embedded target systems impede an early validation on the model. We analysed the numerical issues when using Simulink for algorithm development on PCs and the implications of auto-code generation when running on host and target platforms. This evaluation has been based on the use of the Mathematical Library for Flight Software as a solution for numerical reproducibility. We produced guidelines which yield reproducible results on Model In the Loop, Software In the Loop, and Processor In the Loop executions. This study has been performed in the frame of the ESA technology program with Contract No. 4000122343/17/NL/FE/as.

description: Objective: The aim of this analysis was to examine treatment patterns in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in routine clinical practice in the United States, including factors influencing the choice of front-line treatment intensity and the effect of age and treatment line. Methods: We used data from the Adelphi AML Disease Specific Programme, a real-world, cross-sectional survey conducted in 2015. Physicians completed patient record forms providing patients’ demographic and clinical characteristics. Results: In total, 61 academic, non-academic, and office-based hematologists and hematology/oncology specialists provided data on 457 patients with AML; 284 had ≥20% blasts (World Health Organization-defined AML) and were included in the analysis. In the front-line setting, 60% of patients received high-intensity therapy, most commonly cytarabine plus anthracycline; the most common low-intensity treatments were hypomethylating agents. Primary drivers for selecting high-intensity versus low-intensity treatment were age, performance status, and comorbidities; 67%, 64%, and 61% of physicians stated they would prescribe high-intensity treatment to patients aged <65 years, with good performance status, or no comorbidities, respectively. In practice, patients aged <60 years were more likely to receive high-intensity induction treatment (high vs low intensity by age p0001). In a selected cohort of relapsed/refractory patients, 69% of patients received high-intensity therapy (78% of patients aged <60 years and 57% of patients aged ≥60 years). Conclusions: Most patients in this analysis of real-world survey data received well-established, front-line induction therapies. Treatment intensity was determined by age, comorbidities, and performance status, as recommended by guidelines.

description: The present work describes a methodology for the production of mechanically activated aluminum powders with tailored SSA and reactivity. The obtained specific surface area ranges from about 4 m2/g up to 90 m2/g. All the activated powders have been characterized and compared to a nanometric and a standard micrometric aluminum, while three activated ingredients have been selected to be tested in standard solid rocket propellants. The proposed materials exhibit a reactivity and a metal content similar to nanometric Al particles. In solid rocket propellants, the activated powders guarantee an improved burning rate with only a slight increment of the pressure exponent.

description: Antagonistic crowd behaviors are often observed in cases of serious conflict. Antagonistic emotions, which is the typical psychological state of agents in different roles (i.e. cops, activists, and civilians) in crowd violent scenes, and the way they spread through contagion in a crowd are important causes of crowd antagonistic behaviors. Moreover, games, which refers to the interaction between opposing groups adopting different strategies to obtain higher benefits and less casualties, determine the level of crowd violence. We present an antagonistic crowd simulation model, ACSEE, which is integrated with antagonistic emotional contagion and evolutionary game theories. Our approach models the antagonistic emotions between agents in different roles using two components: mental emotion and external emotion. We combine enhanced susceptible-infectious-susceptible (SIS) and game approaches to evaluate the role of antagonistic emotional contagion in crowd violence. Our evolutionary game theoretic approach incorporates antagonistic emotional contagion through deterrent force, which is modelled by a mixture of emotional forces and physical forces defeating the opponents. Antagonistic emotional contagion and evolutionary game theories influence each other to determine antagonistic crowd behaviors. We evaluate our approach on real-world scenarios consisting of different kinds of agents. We also compare the simulated crowd behaviors with real-world crowd videos and use our approach to predict the trends of crowd movements in violence incidents. We investigate the impact of various factors (number of agents, emotion, strategy, etc.) on the outcome of crowd violence. We present results from user studies suggesting that our model can simulate antagonistic crowd behaviors similar to those seen in real-world scenarios.

description: A new variational technique is developed to investigate the polaronic features of the Holstein Molecular Crystal Model. It is based on a linear superposition of Bloch states that describe large and small polaron wave functions. It is shown that this method provides a very good description of the regime characterized by intermediate values of the electron-phonon coupling constant (the so-called intermediate polaron) for any value of the adiabatic parameter $ω_0/t$. The polaron ground state energy in one and two dimensions is calculated and successfully compared with the best estimates available providing a clear physical interpretation of the intermediate polaron. The band structure, the spectral weight of the ground state and the lattice displacement associated to the polaron are also calculated and discussed. The new method has the advantage to require a very little computational effort.
