Localized pattern formation in continuum models of urban crime
Creators: name: Tse, Wang Hung
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: In this thesis, the phenomenon of localized crime hotspots in models capturing the features of repeat and near-repeat victimization of urban crime was studied. Stability, insertion, slow movement of crime hotspots and the effect of police patrol modelled by an extra equation derived from biased random walk were studied by means of matched asymptotic expansions, nonlocal eigenvalue problem (NLEP) stability analysis, and numerical computations. In the absence of police, we confirmed the linear stability of the far-from equilibrium steady-states with crime hotspots in the original parameters regimes as observed in [47]. The results hold for both the supercritical and subcritical regimes distinguished by a Turing bifurcation (cf. [48, 49]). Moreover, the phenomenon of peak insertion was characterized by a simple nonlinear equation computable by quadratures and a normal form equation identical to that of the self-replication of Mesa patterns [28] was derived. Slow dynamics of unevenly-spaced configurations of hotspots were described by a system of differential-algebraic systems (DAEs), which was derived from resolving an intricate triple-deck structure of boundary layers formed between the hotspots and their neighbouring regions. In the presence of police, which was modelled by a simple interaction with criminals, single and multiple hotspots patterns were constructed in a near-shadow limit of criminal diffusivity. While a single hotspot was found to be unconditionally stable, the linear stability behaviour of multiple-hotspot patterns was found to depend on two thresholds, between which we also observe a novel Hopf bifurcation phenomenon leading to asynchronous oscillations. For one particular, but representative, parameter value in the model, the determination of the spectrum of the NLEP was found to reduce to the study of a quadratic equation for the eigenvalue. For more general parameter values, where this reduction does not apply, a winding number analysis on the NLEP was used to determine detailed stability properties associated with multiple hotspot steady-state solutions.

description: Ranking problem of web-based rating system has attracted many attentions. A good ranking algorithm should be robust against spammer attack. Here we proposed a correlation based reputation algorithm to solve the ranking problem of such rating systems where user votes some objects with ratings. In this algorithm, reputation of user is iteratively determined by the correlation coefficient between his/her rating vector and the corresponding objects' weighted average rating vector. Comparing with iterative refinement (IR) and mean score algorithm, results for both artificial and real data indicate that, the present algorithm shows a higher robustness against spammer attack.

description: Summer learning experiences for school-age children can be provided in a variety of ways and settings, including summer school programs (often remedial), community-based programs (often a continuation of afterschool programs), and home-based programs (in which families are provided with information and resources to encourage reading, often run by libraries).  Research has indicated that all three types of summer learning programs can have a positive impact on children's retention of key skills when these programs are of high quality, recruit vulnerable children, and engage families in ensuring consistent attendance.  Having an impact on a broad scale requires that policies and infrastructure, including funding, are in place to expand effective programs. This Research-to-Policy Resource List compiles publications and documents published in 2010 and later on the following topics related to community-based summer learning programs for school-age children: Effective curricula, best practices and exemplary models; and State policy options.

title: Communicating with Muted Groups: The Case of Human Trafficking
Creators: name: Matzke-Fawcett, Amy
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: The problem of human trafficking is global, affecting men and women, adults, and children, with exploitation of various forms including (but not limited to) sex work, hospitality and entertainment, labor, agriculture, soldiering, forced begging and organ removal. While it has been the focus of movies, news articles, documentaries, legislation and research, the discussion of the communication surrounding human trafficking is still in the formative stages. What is the messaging about human trafficking in legislation, both historically and in the present day, and how did news and popular media help to frame the discourse around trafficking in the United States? Using the framework of the Muted Groups Theory (Ardener, 1975), a series of interviews were conducted with anti-human trafficking advocates to discuss their organizational interactions with formerly trafficked people, including the barriers to effective communication, cultural understandings and misconceptions of human trafficking, and the way trafficking stories are told with respect to the empowerment and healing of the formerly trafficked. Through a discourse analysis, dominant themes were used to create a conceptual model of human trafficking communication to further the conversation to determine the next steps in combatting this worldwide problem in an effective and respectful way.

Indians of North America--Government relations

description: There are approximately 390,000 children age nine and under who are identified by their parents as being of American Indian or Alaska Native (AIAN) heritage alone, while more than 400,000 other children in the same age range share this heritage with that of other race and ethnic groups. The large majority--about 80 percent--of AIAN individuals live outside of tribal lands and reservations and, regardless of where they live, many have incomes below the federal poverty level. While about one-quarter of all individuals who report having some AIAN heritage have incomes below the federal poverty level, the poverty rate among children five and under is 33 percent. Following her visit to two Native American communities in August 2015, Sylvia Mathews Burwell, Secretary of the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), wrote, "At HHS, we're committed to ensuring healthy, productive lives for families in all communities, and that is true in Indian Country as well." This commitment is exemplified in the federal government's continuing partnership with tribal governments through several programs within HHS, including the Tribal Early Learning Initiative (TELI), the National Center on Tribal Child Care Implementation and Innovation (NCTCCII), and the Tribal Maternal Infant Early Childhood Home Visiting Program (Tribal MIECHV).

description: We investigate properties of the Generator Coordinate Method (GCM) on a collective basis of Antisymmetrized Quasi-Cluster (AQC) states to describe the cluster-shell competition in $^{20}$Ne and $^{24}$Mg due to the spin-orbit interaction. By introducing a single additional parameter in the antisymmetrized-cluster basis function, a continuous transformation of the $α$ cluster(s) into independent nucleons can be described. We apply this GCM trial wave function to study in details the transition from cluster states $[ ^{16}$O+$α]$ and $[ ^{16}$O+$α+ α]$ to shell model (SM) states $[ ^{16}$O+${\rm 4N} ]$ and $[ ^{16}$O+${\rm 8N} ]$, respectively. An optimal value of the strength of the spin-orbit interaction is deduced by reproducing level spacing in $^{20}$Ne. A possible connection to the group theoretical understanding of the cluster-shell configuration transition is also discussed.

description: A major structural change is occurring in the food chain segment of milk marketing channels in the North Central Region. Food chains increasingly are initiating central milk programs which represent various degrees of integration. Respondents in a survey gave savings obtained as the major reason for having central milk programs. Sources of savings included dealing with fewer suppliers, lower milk costs, and reduced delivery services. Savings in distribution costs was the main reason for chains operating their own milk plants. If the forces encouraging integration by food chains continue at the rate that existed at the time of the survey, 1968-69, a continuation of the recent structural trend can be expected.

description: We study three subjects on quark confinement in hadrons in SU(3)$_{\rm c}$ lattice QCD. From the accurate lattice calculation for more than 300 different patterns of three-quark (3Q) systems, we find that the static 3Q potential is well described by Y-Ansatz, i.e., the Coulomb plus Y-type linear potential. We also study the multi-quark (4Q, 5Q) potentials in lattice QCD, and find that they are well described by the one-gluon-exchange (OGE) Coulomb plus string-theoretical linear potential, which supports the {\it infrared string picture} even for the multi-quarks. The second subject is a lattice-QCD determination of the relevant gluonic momentum component for confinement. The string tension (confining force) is found to be almost unchanged even after cutting off the high-momentum gluon component above 1.5GeV in the Landau gauge. In fact, {\it quark confinement originates from the low-momentum gluon below about 1.5GeV.} Finally, we consider a possible gauge of QCD for the quark potential model, by investigating "instantaneous inter-quark potential" in generalized Landau gauge, which describes a continuous change from the Landau gauge to the Coulomb gauge.

Travel reliability
Multi-modal Schedule-based
Travel time distributions

description: Working Paper Series, Bd. 2, 2019
description: Multi-modal travel itineraries are based on traversing multiple legs using more than one mode of transportation. The more combinations of legs and modes, the more challenging it is for a traveler to identify a reliable itinerary. Transportation providers collect data that can increase transparency for reliable travel planning. However, this data has not been fully exploited yet, although it will likely form an important piece of future traveler information systems. Our paper takes an important step in this direction by analyzing and aggregating data from the operation of scheduled and unscheduled modes to create a reliability measure for multi-modal travel. We use a network search algorithm to evaluate itineraries that combine schedule-based long-distance travel with airlines with last-mile and first-mile drive times to efficiently identify the one with the highest reliability given a start time and travel time budget. Our network search considers multiple origin and destination airports which impacts the first and last mile as well as the flight options. We use extensive historical datasets to create reliable itineraries and compare these with deterministic shortest travel time itineraries. We investigate the amount of data that is required to create reliable multi-modal travel itineraries. Additionally, we highlight the benefits and costs of reliable travel itineraries and analyze their structure.
Massive MIMO for 5G wireless networks : an energy efficiency perspective
Creators: name: Vara Prasad Koppisetti, Naga Raghavendra Surya
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: As we progress towards the fifth generation (5G) of wireless networks, the bit-per-joule energy efficiency (EE) metric becomes an important design criterion because it allows for operation at practically affordable energy consumption levels. In this regard, one of the key technology enablers for 5G is the recently proposed massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology, which is a special case of multiuser MIMO with an excess of base station (BS) antennas. However, techniques for extracting large EE gains from massive MIMO (MM) networks have not been actively investigated so far. We seek to address the above limitation in this thesis by (i) reviewing MM technology from an EE perspective, (ii) critically analyzing the state-of-the-art and proposing new research directions for EE-maximization in “hybrid MM” networks, where massive MIMO operates alongside other emerging 5G technologies, and (iii) proposing a novel resource allocation scheme for EE-maximization in MM networks. The thesis consists of three main parts. In the first part, we motivate the need for EE and explain why massive MIMO is promising as an energy-efficient technology enabler for 5G networks. In the second part, we critically analyze opportunities for EE-maximization in three types of hybrid MM networks, namely, millimeter wave based MM networks, MM-based heterogeneous networks, and energy har- vesting based MM networks. We analyze limitations in the state-of-the-art and propose several promising research directions which, if pursued, will immensely help network opera- tors in designing hybrid MM networks. In the third part, we propose a novel EE-maximization scheme which optimizes resource allocation in an MM network. Three communication resources, namely, the number of BS antennas, pilot power, and data power are optimized for EE. Since the optimization problem is difficult to solve in its original form, we propose a novel solution approach where each iteration solves a sequence of difference of convex programming subproblems. Simulation results render few interesting guidelines for network designers. For example, using higher pilot power than data power can improve the system EE, particularly when SNR is high. Also, the number of BS antennas should be optimized with the available power budget to ensure operation at peak EE.
Analytic treatment of the precessional (ballistic) contribution to the conventional magnetic switching

description: We consider a switching of the magnetic moment with an easy axis anisotropy from an "up" to a "down" direction under the influence of an external magnetic field. The driving field is applied parallel to the easy axis and is continuously swept from a positive to a negative value. In addition, a small constant perpendicular bias field is present. It is shown that while the driving field switches the moment in a conventional way, the perpendicular field creates an admixture of the precessional (ballistic) switching that speeds up the switching process. Precessional contribution produces a non-monotonic dependence of the switching time on the field sweep time with a minimum at a particular sweep time value. We derive an analytic expressions for the optimal point, and for the entire dependence of the switching time on the field sweep time. Our approximation is valid in a wide parameter range and can be used to engineer and optimize of the magnetic memory devices.

description: This Research-to-Policy Resource List provides a comprehensive list of city universal preschool initiative evaluations and research in the Research Connections collection. To count as universal, a city's program must aim to eventually provide universal access to publicly-funded preschool for all four-year-olds using at least some city funds, even if it does not currently achieve universal access. Some well-known programs do not meet these criteria, either because they are the city-based implementation of a state universal preschool program (Tulsa, Oklahoma) or because they do not aim for universal access (Chicago's Child-Parent Centers; Salt Lake City, Utah). Cities with universal preschool programs were identified in recent reviews by the American Institutes for Research and the Rand Corporation, as well as in news reports. A number of city programs have not produced evaluations or research publications or are still in the planning or early implementation stages, including Cincinnati, Ohio; Cleveland, Ohio; Dayton, Ohio; Santa Fe, New Mexico; and West Sacramento, California. The city universal preschool initiatives that have produced research or evaluation publications and are included here are: Boston, Massachusetts; Denver, Colorado; Los Angeles, California; New York, New York; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; San Antonio, Texas; San Francisco, California; Seattle, Washington; and Washington, District of Columbia.

description: An explicit formula for the ADM mass of an asymptotically AdS black hole in a generic Lovelock gravity theory is presented, identical in form to that in Einstein gravity, but multiplied by a function of the Lovelock coupling constants and the AdS curvature radius. A Gauss' law type formula relates the mass, which is an integral at infinity, to an expression depending instead on the horizon radius. This and other thermodynamic quantities, such as the free energy, are then analyzed in the limits of small and large horizon radius, yielding results that are independent of the detailed choice of Lovelock couplings. In even dimensions, the temperature diverges in both limits, implying the existence of a minimum temperature for black holes. The negative free energy of sufficiently large black holes implies the existence of a Hawking-Page transition. In odd dimensions the temperature still diverges for large black holes, which again have negative free energy. However, the temperature vanishes as the horizon radius tends to zero and sufficiently small black holes have positive specific heat.

description: We have numerically studied the properties of the interface induced in the ferromagnetic random-bond three-state Potts model by symmetry-breaking boundary conditions. The fractal dimension $d_f$ of the interface was determined. The corresponding SLE parameter $κ$ was estimated to be $κ\simeq 3.18(6)$, compatible with previous estimate. On the other hand, we estimated $κ$ independently from the probability of passage of the interface at the left of a given point. The numerical data are well reproduced by the Schramm theoretical prediction and the fit leads to $κ\simeq 3.245(10)$, in agreement with the first estimate. This provides evidences that the geometric properties of spin interfaces in the random 3-state Potts model may be described by chordal ${\rm SLE}_κ$.

description: We report on an analysis of the quark spectral representation at finite temperatures based on the quark propagator determined from its Dyson-Schwinger equation in Landau gauge. In Euclidean space we achieve nice agreement with recent results from quenched lattice QCD. We find different analytical properties of the quark propagator below and above the deconfinement transition. Using a variety of ansaetze for the spectral function we then analyze the possible quasiparticle spectrum, in particular its quark mass and momentum dependence in the high temperature phase. This analysis is completed by an application of the Maximum Entropy Method, in principle allowing for any positive semi-definite spectral function. Our results motivate a more direct determination of the spectral function in the framework of Dyson-Schwinger equations.

description: Purpose: This study aims to demonstrate the possibility of detecting segmental uniparental isodisomy (iUPD) using a next-generation sequencing gene panel by reporting a Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA) case caused by a homozygous pathogenic variant in RPE65 (c.1022 T > C:p.Leu341Ser) inherited exclusively from the proband’s mother. Methods: Samples from the trio (proband, mother, and father) were sequenced with a next-generation sequencing (NGS) retinopathy gene panel (224 genes) and the VCF file containing all variants was used in order to determine single nucleotide variant (SNV) counts from each sample across all chromosomes. Results: Trio analysis showed that of 81 Chr1 inherited variants 41 were exclusively maternal, including 21 homozygous. The other 40 variants were common to both parents. On remaining autosomal chromosomes (Chr2-22) 645 inherited variants were found, 147 of them were exclusively maternal and 132 exclusively paternal. Based on these NGS data, it was possible to note that the proband’s chromosomes 1 are more similar to his mother’s chromosome 1 than his father’s, suggesting the pathogenic homozygous variant found in this patient was inherited exclusively from the mother due to uniparental maternal isodisomy. Conclusions: This study presents a secondary analysis pipeline to identify responsible variants for a phenotype and the correct inheritance pattern, which is a critical step to the proper and accurate genetic counseling of all family members. In addition, this approach could be used to determine iUPD in different Mendelian disorders if the sequencing panel identifies variants spread throughout the genome.

description: The year 2015 marks the 20th anniversary of the Child Care Policy Research Consortium (CCPRC). CCPRC was created by the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) in 1995 to support national capacity for sound child care research, identify and respond to critical issues, and link child care research with policy and practice. Supported by the Office of Planning, Research and Evaluation (OPRE) and the Office of Child Care (OCC) (formerly the Child Care Bureau), the Consortium includes former and current grantees and contractors funded by ACF to conduct child care policy-related research. In partnership with OPRE, the CCPRC holds an annual research meeting that builds on work, webinars, and other activities by the Consortium and its workgroups throughout the year. At the meeting, CCPRC members are joined by Child Care and Development Fund State Administrators, technical assistance partners, and Federal staff from other agencies and departments to consider emerging research findings, questions, and methods that relate to improved outcomes for children and families. In its 20-year existence, the CCPRC has included more than 170 projects. To celebrate the CCPRC's 20th anniversary for its 2015 meeting in Washington, DC, on December 2nd and 3rd, Research Connections has produced this Topic of Interest, which features all of the OPRE- or Child Care Bureau-funded child care research and policy projects in its collection.

description: In November 2014, the Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG) Act of 2014 was signed into law, reauthorizing the Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF)--the federal child care subsidy program--for the first time since 1996. In December 2015, the U.S. Office of Child Care issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, which updated CCDF regulations in light of the CCDBG Act of 2014 and research that has been published since the passage of the original 1996 law. Included in the proposed rule are provisions to increase the supply and quality of child care during nontraditional hours. Nontraditional hours child care, often also referred to as nonstandard hours child care, has been defined as care provided outside of the standard working day, including during evening, overnight, and weekend hours. This Topic of Interest includes resources from the Research Connections collection on the supply of nonstandard hours child care, child care arrangements of parents working nonstandard hours, and access to child care subsidies of parents working nonstandard hours.

description: Long-term preservation of data and software of large experiments and detectors in high energy physics is of utmost importance to secure the heritage of (mostly unique) data and to allow advanced physics (re-)analyses at later times. Summarising the work of an international study group, motivation, use cases and technical details are given for an organised effort to secure and enable future use of past, present and future experimental data. As a practical use case and motivation, the revival of JADE data and the corresponding latest results on measuring $α_s$ in NNLO QCD are reviewed.

description: Background: Infantile nystagmus syndrome (INS) is a genetically heterogeneous disorder. Identifying genetic causes of INS would help clinicians to facilitate clinical diagnosis and provide appropriate treatment. The aim of this study was to determine the diagnostic utility of targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) for INS. Materials and methods: We recruited 37 patients who were referred to the Neuro-ophthalmology clinics for evaluations of INS. NGS was performed using a targeted panel that included 98 candidate genes associated with INS. We identified pathogenic variants according to guidelines of the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics. We also calculated the sensitivity and specificity of each clinical sign to assess the diagnostic yield of our gene panel. Results: After variant filtering, annotation, and interpretation, the potential pathogenic variants were detected in 13 of the 37 patients, achieving a molecular diagnostic rate of 35%. The identified genes were PAX6 (n = 4), FRMD7 (n = 4), GPR143 (n = 2), CACNA1F (n = 1), CNGA3 (n = 1) and GUCY2D (n = 1). In approximately 30% (n = 4) of the patients, the initial clinical diagnosis was revised after a molecular diagnosis was performed. The presence of a family history had the highest predictive power for a molecular diagnosis (sensitivity = 61.5%, specificity = 91.7%), and the sensitivity increased when the family history was considered together with one of two clinical signs such as pendular nystagmus waveforms or anterior segment dysgenesis. Conclusions: Our study shows that targeted NGS can be useful to determine a molecular diagnosis for patients with INS. Targeted NGS also helps to confirm a clinical diagnosis in atypical phenotypes or unresolved cases.

Competition between ac driving-forces and Lévy flights in a nonthermal ratchet

description: Transport of overdamped particles in an asymmetrically periodic potential is investigated in the presence of Lévy noise and ac-driving forces. The group velocity is used to measure the transport driven by the nonthermal noise. It is found that the Lévy flights and ac-driving forces are the two different driving factors that can break thermodynamical equilibrium. The competition between the two factors will induce some peculiar phenomena. For example, multiple transport reversals occur on changing the noise intensity. Additionally, we also find that the group velocity as a function of Lévy index is nonmonotonic for small values of the noise intensity.
