description: The accurate representation of geostrophic balance is an essential requirement for numerical modelling of geophysical flows. Significant effort is often put into the selection of accurate or optimal balance representation by the discretisation of the fundamental equations. The issue of accurate balance representation is particularly challenging when applying dynamic mesh adaptivity, where there is potential for additional imbalance injection when interpolating to new, optimised meshes. In the context of shallow-water modelling, we present a new method for preservation of geostrophic balance when applying dynamic mesh adaptivity. This approach is based upon interpolation of the Helmholtz decomposition of the Coriolis acceleration. We apply this in combination with a discretisation for which states in geostrophic balance are exactly steady solutions of the linearised equations on an f-plane; this method guarantees that a balanced and steady flow on a donor mesh remains balanced and steady after interpolation onto an arbitrary target mesh, to within machine precision. We further demonstrate the utility of this interpolant for states close to geostrophic balance, and show that it prevents pollution of the resulting solutions by imbalanced perturbations introduced by the interpolation.
title: The Development of a Proposed Model Office Stimulation for Implementation at the College of Eastern Utah

description: A review of recent articles indicates that the effectiveness of simulation on Vocational Education has been substantiated. Many programs have been used throughout the United States which point out the success of office simulation.
Utah began simulation by converting trailers into mobile modern offices. The first class was taught in June, 1968, with a migrant farm worker project. The program was called MOE (Mobile Office Education). Hanson and Stocker were involved in the development and teaching of this program. They explain their ideas about a successful and effective simulation program:
It is a real organization of students formed under the direction of the teacher which carries on integrated office functions--correspondence, order processing, payroll, and other duties--at a level of intensity and in a facility which correspond very closely to those of a typical business office.

description: For robots to be accepted within society, non-expert users must deem them not only useful (and usable) but also trustworthy. Designing robots that can explain their decisions and actions in terms that everyone can understand is crucial to their trustworthiness and successful integration into our society. This paper, written as a part of a doctoral dissertation, draws from interdisciplinary research on social sciences and explainable robots (and AI) to address the set of challenges associated with making robots explainable and trustworthy. Particular attention is paid to non-expert users’ perspectives within the context of everyday interactions. We claim that, as perfect explanations do not exist, their success in triggering understanding and fostering trust is determined by their plausibility. Furthermore, we maintain that plausible explanations are the result of contextual negotiations between the parties involved. As a result, this paper presents strategies formalized into a model for explanatory interactions to maximize users’ understanding and support trust development.

description: A common way of studying the relationship between neural activity and behavior is through the analysis of neuronal spike trains that are recorded using one or more electrodes implanted in the brain. Each spike train typically contains spikes generated by multiple neurons. A natural question that arises is "what is the number of neurons $ν$ generating the spike train?"; This article proposes a method-of-moments technique for estimating $ν$. This technique estimates the noise nonparametrically using data from the silent region of the spike train and it applies to isolated spikes with a possibly small, but nonnegligible, presence of overlapping spikes. Conditions are established in which the resulting estimator for $ν$ is shown to be strongly consistent. To gauge its finite sample performance, the technique is applied to simulated spike trains as well as to actual neuronal spike train data.

title: Utah and School Age Parents

description: Background. As Dean of Women in a small high school for the past three years, I have been frustrated because of the fact that there was no program for married and/or pregnant students that would educationally aid them.
Night high school courses are not, in my opinion, "equal education; " I felt the need for a definite program. The school district is both legally and morally responsible to provide educational opportunities to these students .
Justification. In 1970 an estimated 200,000 American girls under 18 gave birth. Nearly two-thirds of the girls had married by the time of delivery (Pregnant Teen-Agers, 1970). A February 1973 estimate states, "One out of every ten girls in the United States becomes a mother while still of school age, that, is, before the age of eighteen" (Howard, 1973, p. 39). This estimate also states that 60% of the girls are married by the time the baby is born.
These girls, married or not, face a three-fold crisis at once--the transition from adolescence to adulthood, the acceptance of the mother role, and the physical and emotional changes which accompany her pregnancy.
Although these problems are generally known, pregnancy is still the major known cause of school drop-outs among girls in the United States (See Figures 1 and 2 in Appendix). "Incomplete education is associated with under-employment, unemployment , and increased welfare dependency" (Howard, 1973, p. 39). "Without counseling, young mothers may fall into a pattern of bearing additional children in their teen years, some of whom may further complicate the health, social and educational problems of young families" (Pregnant Teen-Agers, 1970, p. 28).
Speaking to the National Association of Secondary School Principals, (1973) S. P. Marland, Jr., Health, Education and Welfare Assistant Secretary for Education has said, "Every girl in the United States has a right to and a need for the education that will help her prepare herself for a career, for family life, and for citizenship. To be married or pregnant is not sufficient cause to deprive her of an education and the opportunity to become a contributing member of society" (p. 4). The American Civil Liberties Union has published a pamphlet saying, " •.• the right of an education should not be abrogated because of marriage or pregnancy unless evidence proves that the student's presence in the school or classroom does, in fact, disrupt or impair the educational process" (Pregnant Teen-Agers, 1970, p. 89).
Still a 1970 study showed that scarcely one in three school districts nationwide make any educational provision for pregnant girls (Pregnant Teen-Agers, 1970).

description: The problem of attitude control for an autonomous powered flight vehicle with an imprecise center of gravity (CG) characterization is addressed in this work. The proposed control structure consists of a proportional-derivative controller with feed-forward terms (PD+ structure), as well as a CG offset estimate equation. Stability is shown to hold when the two aforementioned components are implemented in a novel Lyapunov function, for which signal chasing arguments and results of Barbalat’s lemma are then applied. This Lyapunov-like analysis is done with no simplifying assumptions to the mass properties of the vehicle or small angular-rate restrictions, and proof of concept is shown first via low fidelity simulation experiments. The design is then integrated into an industry grade, high fidelity simulation environment, which leads to concluding remarks and areas for future work.

description: Direct measurements of the extragalactic background light (EBL) in the near-IR to mid-IR waveband are extremely difficult due to an overwhelming foreground from the zodiacal light that outshines the faint cosmological diffuse radiation field by more than an order of magnitude. Indirect constraints on the EBL are provided by gamma-ray observations of AGN. Using the combination of the Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope together with the current generation of ground-based air Cherenkov telescopes (H.E.S.S., MAGIC, and VERITAS) provides unprecedented sensitivity and spectral coverage for constraining the EBL in the near- to mid-IR. In this paper we present new limits on the EBL based on the analysis of the broad-band spectra of a select set of gamma-ray blazars covering 200 MeV to several TeV. The EBL intensity at 15 microns is constrained to be 1.36 +/- 0.58 nW m^-2 sr^-1. We find that the fast evolution and baseline EBL models of Stecker et al. (2006), as well as the model of Kneiske et al. (2004), predict significantly higher EBL intensities in the mid-IR (15 microns) than is allowed by the constraints derived here. In addition, the model of Franceschini et al. (2008) and the fiducial model of Dominguez et al. (2011) predict near- to mid-IR ratios smaller than that predicted by our analysis. Namely, their intensities in the near-IR are too low while their intensities in the mid-IR are marginally too high. All of the aforementioned models are inconsistent with our analysis at the >3 sigma level.

Year: 1975

description: As one of the foreign students in this country, I have had a lot of problems while studying here. For example , how should I express myself, how should I behave when going to an American party and participating in other traditional occasions such as Halloween, Christmas, Thanksgiving, etc. Also, how can I learn about Americans' activities and manners? Some of them I can solve by learning from others or by myself. Many Americans have trouble when communicating with foreigners. They try hard, but they often do not understand each other.
Information from both Americans and foreigners indicates that if they want to communicate effectively they need to know about the others' attitudes, values, experiences, manners, expectations and cultures. The most important factor for effective communication is each individual's willingness to communicate.
The purpose of this investigation is to explore problems, barriers, and gaps in communication between American and foreign students. The following areas will be developed: (1) cultural differences in attitudes, values, mores, and manners, (2) communication barriers related to language problems, (3) attitudes of Americans and foreigners towards each others, and (4) some suggested guidelines for more effective communication. The goals of this investigation are: first, to use theoretical, experimental and survey data to determine what major problems exist in the attempt to communicate inter-culturally, and second, to provide some behavioral suggestions for improving the interaction attempt.

description: Quantum dots induced by a strong magnetic field applied to a single layer of graphene in the perpendicular direction are investigated. The dot is defined by a model potential which consists of a well of depth $ΔV$ relative to a flat asymptotic part and quantum states formed from the zeroth Landau level are considered. The energy of the dot states cannot be lower than $-ΔV$ relative to the asymptotic potential. Consequently, when $ΔV$ is chosen to be about half of the gap between the zeroth and first Landau levels, the dot states are isolated energetically in the gap between Landau level 0 and Landau level -1. This is confirmed with numerical calculations of the magnetic field dependent energy spectrum and the quantum states. Remarkably, an antidot formed by reversing the sign of $ΔV$ also confines electrons but in the energy region between Landau level 0 and Landau level +1. This unusual behaviour gives an unambiguous signal of the novel physics of graphene quantum dots.

Die Verbandsjugendarbeit in der Schweiz hat eine lange Tradition und ist ein wichtiger Teilbereich der ausserschulischen Kinder- und Jugendarbeit. In der Schweiz gibt es drei grosse Jugendverbände: Jungwacht Blauring, die Pfadibewegung Schweiz und die CEVI1. Immer wieder in ihrer langen Geschichte wurden die Jugendverbände mit neuen Herausforderungen konfrontiert. Das hat sich auch während der ersten Dekade des neuen Jahrhunderts nicht geändert. Zu den aktuellen Fragen gehören Themen wie die abnehmenden Mitgliederzahlen, die stetige Ausweitung von Freizeitangeboten, die zunehmende Beanspruchung der Kinder und Jugendlichen durch Schule und Ausbildung oder die stetig zunehmende Heterogenität der Bevölkerung.
Auf diesem Hintergrund hat die Bundesleitung von Jungwacht Blauring Schweiz das Departement Soziale Arbeit der Hochschule Luzern mit der Durchführung der vorliegenden Studie beauftragt. Mit der wissenschaftlichen Untersuchung eines Jugendverbandes wird in der Schweiz Neuland beschritten. Aus diesem Grund hat die Bundesleitung von Jungwacht Blauring entschieden, eine mehrteilige Studie durchzuführen, um zu wesentlichen Bereichen der Jungwacht Blauring-Praxis die nötigen empirischen Grundlagen zu schaffen. Die Hauptstudie2 besteht aus den folgenden drei Teilstudien:
Teilstudie A „Mitgliederstruktur und Teilnahme“

AGE AND PREVENTION OF SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED INFECTIONS IN WOMEN: A PILOT STUDY
Creators: name: Wheadon, Lisa Marie
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2014

description: Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) represent a significant public health and financial burden in the United States. The rate of STIs diagnosed in older populations has more than doubled in the past decade; however, the reason for this phenomenon is unclear. Adults are sexually active well into old age, yet many have never discussed sexual activity or received education about sexual health from a healthcare provider. Since a significant role of the nurse practitioner is to educate individuals and communities regarding health promotion and disease prevention, it is important to take a fresh look at what role nurse practitioners currently play in the prevention of STIs in older women and how they can become better advocates for this population. This study examined the relationship between a woman’s age and whether a nurse practitioner provides education about prevention of STIs. Associated factors of gender, age, marital status, ethnicity, specialty, level of education, and years of experience of the nurse practitioner were examined as possible issues affecting sexual health care and education provided to women about prevention of STIs. Results indicated that the age of female patients significantly affected education about prevention of STIs. A bias exists related to education of sexual health for women ages 40 or more compared to women ages 20–39, suggesting that older women are less likely than younger women to receive preventative sexual education from nurse practitioners.

description: We analyze the dynamics of single photon transport in a single-mode waveguide coupled to a micro-optical resonator using a fully quantum mechanical model. We examine the propagation of a single-photon Gaussian packet through the system under various coupling conditions. We review the theory of single photon transport phenomena as applied to the system and we develop a discussion on the numerical technique we used to solve for dynamical behavior of the quantized field. To demonstrate our method and to establish robust single photon results, we study the process of adiabatically lowering or raising the energy of a single photon trapped in an optical resonator under active tuning of the resonator. We show that our fully quantum mechanical approach reproduces the semi-classical result in the appropriate limit and that the adiabatic invariant has the same form in each case. Finally, we explore the trapping of a single photon in a system of dynamically tuned, coupled optical cavities.

What's at stake and what's at play : a case study of government and non-profit stakeholders and their experiences of power in the early stages of collaboration
Creators: name: Gill-Badesha, Daljit Kaur

description: Collaboration is a messy, complicated, and socially constructed (Burr, 2015) practice, involving stakeholders from different organizations to purportedly achieve consensus on mutual aims. It is often presented as a seamless and productive practice of stakeholders negotiating different interests, values, and aims (Gray, 1989). At the same time, it is fraught with tensions and challenges related to varying power and capacities (Gray & Purdy, 2018; Phillips et al., 2000), interacting with the policies and politics in the ecosystem (Weaver-Hightower, 2008), which impacts both the stakeholder experiences and the overall aims of collaboration. This qualitative research study analyzes stakeholders’ experiences from non-profit and government organizations involved in collaboration in a geographically and culturally diverse community in Western Canada. The case, the Young Child project, studied from 2007 to 2011, is bounded (Yin, 2018). Using Gray and Purdy’s (2018) framework for power dynamics within collaboration, I analyze the variations of (a) different forms of power (authority, resources, and discursive power) and (b) power orientations (power over, power to, and power for) taken by stakeholders in their interactions with others. I analyze interview transcriptions, project and policy documents, media articles, and my reflexive journal to examine the multiple dimensions of power in collaboration. I explore three themes: how participants describe their experiences in the Young Child collaboration, what discourses they use to describe positionality, and how participant narratives and project documents reflect the intersection of power and democratic participation in collaboration. Based on my analysis, I argue that concerted time to develop relationships, role clarifications, and emotional connections to the issues at stake during the early stages of collaboration can mitigate abuses of power that can occur in the process. Additionally, I suggest that stakeholder participation defines and constructs collaboration and impacts how dynamics of power are navigated within informal and interactional spaces. I outline the relationship between the politics and policies within the defined collaboration and the surrounding ecosystem. Finally, I conclude that individual stories demonstrate hidden and implicit dynamics in collaboration. And stories also provide opportunities to improve the development of collaborative aims and the experiences of stakeholders involved in this practice.

description: In the present work, we consider the dynamics of dark solitons as one mode of a defocusing photorefractive lattice coupled with bright solitons as a second mode of the lattice. Our investigation is motivated by an experiment which illustrates that such coupled states can exist with both components in the first gap of the linear band spectrum. This finding is further extended by the examination of different possibilities from a theoretical perspective, such as symbiotic ones where the bright component is supported by states of the dark component in the first or second gap, or non-symbiotic ones where the bright soliton is also a first-gap state coupled to a first or second gap state of the dark component. While the obtained states are generally unstable, these instabilities typically bear fairly small growth rates which enable their observation for experimentally relevant propagation distances.

description: We propose a stochastic map model of economic dynamics. In the last decade, an array of observations in economics has been investigated in the econophysics literature, a major example being the universal features of inequality in terms of income and wealth. Another area of inquiry is the formation of opinion in a society. The proposed model attempts to produce positively skewed distributions and the power law distributions as has been observed in the real data of income and wealth. Also, it shows a non-trivial phase transition in the opinion of a society (opinion formation). A number of physical models also generates similar results. In particular, the kinetic exchange models have been especially successful in this regard. Therefore, we compare the results obtained from these two approaches and discuss a number of new features and drawbacks of this model.

“I’m going to change the WiFi password if you don’t go outside” : a temporal exploration of the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on parenting practices
Creators: name: Paterson, Derek
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Background: Parenting practices have been found to be an important source of influence on the movement behaviours of children (Hutchens & Lee, 2018; Samaha & Hawi, 2017). Parenting practices may be susceptible to influence from external factors (Davison et al., 2013) and public health measures related to the COVID-19 pandemic likely impacted family life and the behaviours of family members. The purpose of this study was to qualitatively explore the impact of the pandemic on parenting practices over time and in doing so, examine the extent to which they are malleable in response to changing circumstances. Methods: One-on-one semi-structured interviews with 40 parents of school-aged children (aged 7-11) in British Columbia, Ontario and Nova Scotia (Canada) were conducted via Zoom in August, 2021 after the first 18 months of the pandemic. A narrative thematic analysis (Palomäki et al., 2013; Braun & Clarke, 2021) was undertaken to a) develop themes mapping the key impacts on parenting practices and b) organize the temporal patterns of impacts into shared case trajectories of those impacts over time. Results: Four primary themes were first constructed to highlight the pertinent changes in parenting practices: 1) Screen time permissiveness, 2) Force and coercion, 3) Parents as active agents of unstructured physical activity, and 4) Stepping back from structured physical activity. These impacts were temporally organized into three distinct case trajectories that each represent a shared, chronological narrative for how the first 18 months of the pandemic were broadly experienced by parents. The three trajectories were characterized as: 1) “back to business as usual” (resilience) 2) “Stuck in a rut” (enduring impact) and 3) “Upside to slowing down” (adaptive growth). Discussion: Parenting practices are malleable in response to changing circumstances and have been impacted in both temporary and enduring manners that may continue beyond the pandemic. Further research is needed to longitudinally assess these trajectories in order to support families and enhance the theoretical understanding of parenting practices.

description: Robots are developed in the hope to solve various problems that our societies currently face. One of the most pressing problems is the aging population, placing increasing pressure on the care system as people live longer, and often with chronic diseases. Robots are also considered as a possible solution to this problem. However, imaginations of the role of robots are frequently driven by technology-utopian top-down agendas without regard to practical realities of everyday life of the older adults and other stakeholders they seek to support. This chapter presents an overview of assistive technology for the aging population, along with building blocks for Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) research in these contexts, and the challenges that arise. On this basis, we characterize ways of conducting bottom-up research to explore trustworthy HRI for older adults in home environments

description: This chapter reflects on the scope, methods, knowledge contributions, and normative orientation of design for the research field Human-Robot Interaction (HRI). The design space of interactions between humans and robots is characterized as being influenced by the way interaction is understood. Underlying views of interactions merit con- sideration, as they influence the research questions, methods, and aims of HRI design research. It is argued that we need to understand the concept of the design space(s) for HRI as extending beyond individual aspects that can be varied in the design of interactions between humans and robots to encompass the socio-technical system that the robot is developed for. This chapter further characterizes the practice of HRI designers as comprising multiple overlapping activities, operating in a complex problem context in a design team with multiple sets of expertise from different disciplines, comparable to or functioning as transdisciplinary research. This chapter contains a discussion of knowledge contribution that can be achieved through design practice and concludes with reflections on the responsibility of designers

The long , hard road of preparation for the performance is only partially represented herein, All that remains visible of the hundreds of hours of effort devoted thereto is this mass of written data which evidences this writer's scholarly capabilities and his approach to the project as a whole. Lost, even to those who attended the recital, are the dynamics of the evening: the atmosphere of the concert, the mood of anticipation and anxiety, the presence and delivery of the performer, the co-work of the accompanist, the response of the audience, and the multitude of the other experiential aspects of the performance.
Also impossible to represent, but understood by those who have worked diligently to prepare for a concert or public performance, are the rigors of practice, criticism, and rehearsals.
The musical culmination of this project was the recital, The scholarly culmination is this paper, the purpose of which is to provide insights into the composers' lives, works, and style periods through application of the tools of musical research.

description: Early screening of depressive symptoms in a patient that is beginning a cardiac rehabilitation (CR) program may provide an opportunity for ongoing assessment and support. Identifying depression in cardiac patients may benefit both the physical and mental health and prevent worsening of cardiac disease. The purpose of this study was to identify demographic characteristics that may be related to the mental health status of cardiac patients, and to examine the effect of participation in CR on mental health. A retrospective review of data from patients who participated in a CR program between 2008-2010 was evaluated. Demographic data, including age, gender, cardiac diagnosis or intervention were used to describe the sample and then analyzed for an association with a low MCS score (< 45), which may indicate depression. Pre and post cardiac rehabilitation MCS scores were analyzed for statistically significant differences. No statistically significant association was identified between a low MCS score and the demographic factors analyzed. There was a statistically significant increase in MCS scores in patients that had completed the 12-week CR program (MMCS Pretest = 51.25, SD = 10.15; MMCS Posttest = 53.79, SD = 8.48; t(214) = -3.87, p < .001). The MCS score calculated from the SF12 may provide additional data for identifying patients at risk for depression in a cardiac population. Careful assessment for mental health problems as well as participation in a CR program may make a difference in mental health status, and may have a positive impact on clinical outcomes for this group.
Microcup Arrays for the Efficient Isolation and Cloning of Cells

description: Arrays of transparent, releasable micron-scale structures termed “microcups” were created for the purpose of patterning and isolating viable cells from small cell samples. Cells were captured by the microcups without the need for barriers or walls on the intervening substrate. Furthermore, in contrast to prior methods for creating cell arrays with releasable elements, no chemical modification of the substrate was required. Individual microcups were released from the array using a pulsed laser at very low energy. Improvements in microcup design enabled cells in suspension to be loaded into the microcups with greater than 90% efficiency. Cells cultured within the microcups displayed 100% viability and were cultured over 4 days yielding colonies that remained sequestered within the microcups to generate pure clonal populations. Standard microscopic imaging was used to identify cells or colonies of interest, and the microcups containing these cells were then released and collected. Individual target cells isolated in this manner remained viable as demonstrated by clonal expansion of 100% of collected cells. Direct comparisons with cell isolation by fluorescence-activated cell sorting and magnetic-bead-based isolation systems demonstrated that the microcup cell isolation procedure yielded higher purity, yield and viability than these standard technologies when separating samples with small numbers of cells. The power of this technique was demonstrated by the isolation of hematopoietic stem cells from a human bone marrow aspirate possessing only 4,000 total cells.

description: We report a first-principles study of (BaTiO${_3}$)$_m$/(BaO)$_n$ superlattices for a wide range of periodicities $m/n$. We show that such a system develops a polar zone-center instability for sufficiently large \textit{m}/\textit{n} ratio, which can be understood, at least qualitatively, from a simple electrostatic model and should lead to a ferroelectric ground-state. However, the analysis of the phonon dispersion curves also points out the appearance of stronger antiferroelectric instabilities at the zone boundaries around $m=4$, before the critical ratio for ferroelectricity is reached and which still dominate beyond it. The dominant character of the anti-ferroelectric instability is explained from the depolarizing field which hardens the ferroelectric mode. This analysis allows us to predict that, (BaTiO${_3}$)$_m$/(BaO)$_n$ superlattices should present an antiferroelectric ground state for $m$ larger than 4, which should smoothly evolve to a multidomain structure for increasing $m$ values and only become ferroelectric for large $m$.

description: We study the problem of actively learning the vertex labels of a graph, assuming the classes form geodesically convex subgraphs, which is related to linear separability in the Euclidean setting. The main result of this paper is a novel query-efficient active learning algorithm with label-independent upper bounds on the number of queries needed to learn all labels. For that, we use shortest path covers and provide a logarithmic approximation for the sub-problem of computing a shortest path cover of minimum size. We extend the approach to arbitrarily labeled graphs using a convexity-based selection criterion. Finally, we discuss whether the convexity assumption holds on real-world data and give some first preliminary results on citation and image benchmark datasets.
title: An Investigation to Identify Management Topics to be Included in the Business Administration Program at Utah State University

description: The development of management techniques which are in keeping with the changing environment has been termed "management science." Thrall points out that "management science has not yet reached a stage in which standardization or freezing of educational programs is desirable. " Further, he states that "we should explore new educational ideas, keeping in mind that many management scientists will become managers."
Management science may be in the rut described by Gordon and Howell. They assert that those businessmen and educators who fail to keep pace with change are forced to "plod in a rut they dug long ago. For them it is enough to tell students what business did yesterday and the day before."
The review of literature for this investigation revealed that little research has been done to ascertain whether college business administration programs are keeping pace with the changing business environment. Most of the available research deals with the problem on a national basis. What is needed is research on a local institution level to determine whether the the management program offered by a given institution meets the needs of the organizations hiring graduates of that program.
An autoregressive approach to house price modeling

description: A statistical model for predicting individual house prices and constructing a house price index is proposed utilizing information regarding sale price, time of sale and location (ZIP code). This model is composed of a fixed time effect and a random ZIP (postal) code effect combined with an autoregressive component. The former two components are applied to all home sales, while the latter is applied only to homes sold repeatedly. The time effect can be converted into a house price index. To evaluate the proposed model and the resulting index, single-family home sales for twenty US metropolitan areas from July 1985 through September 2004 are analyzed. The model is shown to have better predictive abilities than the benchmark S&P/Case--Shiller model, which is a repeat sales model, and a conventional mixed effects model. Finally, Los Angeles, CA, is used to illustrate a historical housing market downturn.

Digital delivery and assessment of holistic interventions for breathlessness

description: Breathlessness is a common and important symptom, resulting from the interaction between multiple physical, psychological and social factors, and causes substantial negative impacts to health-related quality of life. Interest has grown in therapeutic potential of holistic participatory arts-in-health activities using singing and dance for people with breathlessness, within the broader context of social prescribing. A small body of research has indicated such interventions might be effective, however properly conducted studies investigating impact, and mechanisms of impact, are lacking. Additionally, advances in digital health have expanded remote healthcare delivery, a trend accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, creating novel opportunities and challenges. This thesis aims to assess the impact, potential mechanisms, and possible future approaches, of digitally delivered holistic arts-in-health interventions for people with breathlessness. I present six results chapters addressing current research gaps. First, an observational study comparing the physiological demands of Singing for Lung Health (SLH) with treadmill walking, to investigate potential mechanisms of impact. Second, I present data from the first group of a planned larger randomised controlled trial (RCT) investigating the impact of face-to-face SLH. This group transferred to online SLH halfway through the intervention due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but viewed as a convenience pilot study, the findings provide valuable insights into digital adaptation of complex interventions. Third, a digitally delivered, remotely assessed, RCT comparing online SLH to usual care in COPD. Fourth, a digitally delivered and assessed RCT comparing the English National Opera’s Breathe programme to usual care in people with Long COVID and breathlessness. The fifth and sixth results chapters are qualitative studies investigating the experience of dance group participants for people with breathlessness in England and Uganda. Together these studies suggest that digitally delivered participatory arts interventions for people with breathlessness can improve aspects of health-related quality of life, and other symptoms including breathlessness.
Orbital magnetoelectric coupling at finite electric field

description: We extend the band theory of linear orbital magnetoelectric coupling to treat crystals under finite electric fields. Previous work established that the orbital magnetoelectric response of a generic insulator at zero field comprises three contributions that were denoted as local circulation, itinerant circulation, and Chern-Simons. We find that the expression for each of them is modified by the presence of a dc electric field. Remarkably, the sum of the three correction terms vanishes, so that the total coupling is still given by the same formula as at zero field. This conclusion is confirmed by numerical tests on a tight-binding model, for which we calculate the field-induced change in the linear magnetoelectric coefficient.

description: Recent infrared spectroscopy of hot exoplanets is beginning to reveal their atmospheric composition. Deep with in the planetary atmosphere, the composition is controlled by thermochemical equilibrium. Photochemistry becomes important higher in the atmosphere, at levels above ~1 bar. These two chemistries compete between ~1-10 bars in hot Jupiter-like atmospheres, depending on the strength of the eddy mixing and temperature. HD189733b provides an excellent laboratory in which to study the consequences of chemistry of hot atmospheres. The recent spectra of HD189733b and HD209458b contain signatures of CH4, CO2, CO and H2O. Here we identify the primary chemical pathways that govern the abundances of CH4, CO2, CO and H2O in the cases of thermochemical equilibrium chemistry, photochemistry, and their combination. Our results suggest that the abundance of these species can be photochemically enhanced above or below the thermochemical equilibrium value, so some caution must be taken when assuming that an atmosphere is in strict thermochemical equilibrium.

description: An Ontology for Representing Impact The Common Impact Data Standard (Data Standard) is a standardized way to represent a social purpose organization’s impact model (i.e. a theory of change, logic model, outcome chain, etc.) and the effects of their work on people and the planet. The purpose of the Common Impact Data Standard is to create a shared data model with which to capture, export, and import data about impact measurement. The standard is essentially a set of detailed descriptions of how data should be structured to allow interoperability with other aligned software products. This approach allows data to be moved between applications without any additional mapping.
