DEVELOPMENTAL EVALUATION TO SUPPORT COLLABORATION, LEARNING, AND ADAPTING FOR IMPROVED RESILIENCE PROGRAMMING
Creators: name: morrow, nathan
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: DE is most appropriate for new, innovative or transformative models or novel program logic. DE requires clear articulation of principles, assumptions, and programmatic vision. Co-creation of solutions to a context specific problem, analogous to building an airplane while already in the air, is the reason for DE’s distinctive focus on high-frequency data collection and interaction with program staff and stakeholders for ongoing iterative learning by doing.
 DE is most appropriate in circumstances such as Niger and Burkina Faso, where the context changes rapidly (coups, dynamics of violent extremism, effects of climate change, global pandemics). The idea of DE is that an experienced and methodologically capable evaluator (or team) can help the activity to navigate the environment and still achieve expected impacts, sustainable and scalable change. DE requires senior evaluators who have the experience and skills to understand how to respect principles while flexibly using tools.

description: Prologue and epilogue dated 1915. Special Collections has three copies of the 1918 edition published by The Egoist. Tarr is a modernist novel written 1909-11, revised and expanded during 1914-15 and first serialized in the magazine The Egoist from April 1916 until November 1917. First published in America and England in 1918. A revised and final version was published in 1928. Wyndham Lewis, (1882–1957), artist and writer, is perhaps best known for forming a group of artists and writers known as the vorticists (a term created by poet Ezra Pound in early 1914). Ezra Pound arranged for Tarr, Lewis’s first novel, to be published in serial form in The Egoist magazine (1916-1917) while Lewis was serving in WWI. The 1918 edition digitized here is the first English edition, which was published by the Egoist Press shortly after the first American edition was published that same year. The copy of the 1918 edition in Special Collections is signed on the flyleaf by Gladys Anne Hoskyns, Wyndham Lewis's wife. The 1928 edition, published by Chatto and Windus, is the revised and final version. C.J. Fox donated both the 1918 and 1928 editions to Special Collections. For more information about C.J. Fox’s Wyndham Lewis Collection please see the exhibition catalogue The Lion and the Fox: Art and Literary Works by Wyndham Lewis from the C.J. Fox Collection (https://www.uvic.ca/library/locations/home/spcoll/documents/fox_exhibit_catalogue.pdf) and the finding aid for the C.J. Fox Collection (https://uvic2.coppul.archivematica.org/cyril-james-fox-fond). Lewis founded and edited Blast, a magazine featuring writing and artwork by artists affiliated with the vorticist movement, including Edward Alexander Wadsworth (1889-1949), Henri Gaudier-Brzeska (1891-1915), William Patrick Roberts (1895-1980), and Ezra Pound (1885-1972). Lewis also contributed his own artwork and writing to the magazine. The first issue of Blast appeared in July 1914 and the second issue, the “War Number,” came out in 1915 at the advent of the First World War. The movement largely lost momentum during the war. During his career Lewis published several volumes of literary criticism and satire, including The Art of Being Ruled (1926), Time and Western Man (1927), The Apes of God (1930), and Men without Art (1934). During the political tensions leading up to, and during, WWII, Lewis published Hitler (1931), Left Wings over Europe (1936), and Count Your Dead: They Are Alive! (1937). Later novels include The Revenge for Love (1937) and Self Condemned (1954). Lewis published two autobiographies: Blasting and Bombardiering (1937), based on his experiences during WWI, and Rude Assignment (1950).

description: In this paper we analyze features to classify human- and AI-generated text for English, French, German and Spanish and compare them across languages. We investigate two scenarios: (1) The detection of text generated by AI from scratch, and (2) the detection of text rephrased by AI. For training and testing the classifiers in this multilingual setting, we created a new text corpus covering 10 topics for each language. For the detection of AI-generated text, the combination of all proposed features performs best, indicating that our features are portable to other related languages: The F1-scores are close with 99% for Spanish, 98% for English, 97% for German and 95% for French. For the detection of AI-rephrased text, the systems with all features outperform systems with other features in many cases, but using only document features performs best for German (72%) and Spanish (86%) and only text vector features leads to best results for English (78%).

description: This seminal modernist prose work is notable as one of the early prominent novels to portray explicit homosexuality between women. It mixes prose and poetry and could be considered metafiction. T.S. Eliot edited the book and the 1937 edition has an introduction by him. Because of concerns about censorship, Eliot edited Nightwood to soften some language relating to sexuality and religion. An edition restoring these changes, edited by Cheryl J. Plumb, was published by Dalkey Archive Press in 1995. "The plot focuses on a transvestite gynecologist called Matthew O’Connor, and Nora Flood, who is in love with the androgynous woman Robin Vote. Barnes began work on it after the breakdown of a relationship with the American artist Thelma Ellen Wood (1901–1970). According to the critic Clare L Taylor, it has ‘one of the most shattering endings in modern literature’." --British Library

description: Classical automated test assembly (ATA) methods assume fixed and known parameters, an hypothesis that is not true for estimates of item response theory parameters which are key elements in test assembly. To account for uncertainty in ATA, we propose a chance-constrained version of the MAXIMIN ATA model which allows to maximize the alpha-quantile of the sampling distribution function of the test information function obtained by bootstrapping the item parameters. An heuristic based on the simulated annealing is proposed to solve the ATA model. The validity of the proposed approach is verified by simulated data and the applicability is verified by an application to real data.

description: We provide novel estimates of gender differences in the allocation of time by Italian adults and document their trends over the span 2002-2014, pooling three time-use surveys run by the Italian National Institute of Statistics (ISTAT). The positive gap (females-males) in time devoted to Household work and the negative gap in Market work and Leisure are found to have narrowed over the observed period, mainly due to changes in women’s time allocation, while the positive gap in time devoted to Child care remained substantially constant. In 2014, the sharing of family duties appears still heavily unbalanced even when we look at the subsample of full-time working parents. Full-time working mothers devote to Market work about 4 hours per week less than their partners, but they devote 14 hours per week more to Household work and 3 hours and a half more to Basic child care. This translates in 13 hours per week more total (paid and unpaid) work and 11 hours per week less Leisure. On the positive side, the gender gap in time devoted to Quality child care exhibits a reversed sign in 2014. The change is driven by weekend days, when partners of full-time working mothers become the main provider of this type of care.
Measuring Global Macroeconomic Uncertainty

Year: 2020
Subjects: SECS-P/05 Econometria

description: This paper provides new indices of global macroeconomic uncertainty and investigates the cross-country transmission of uncertainty using a global vector autoregressive (GVAR) model. The indices measure the dispersion of forecasts that results from parameter uncertainty in the GVAR. Relying on the error correction representation of the model, we distinguish between measures of short-run and long-run uncertainty. Over the period 2000Q1-2016Q4, global short-run macroeconomic uncertainty strongly co-moves with financial market volatility, while long-run uncertainty is more highly correlated with economic policy uncertainty. We quantify global spillover effects by decomposing uncertainty into the contributions from individual countries. On average, over 40% of country-specific uncertainty is of foreign origin.
Scheduling of Dynamic Electric Loads Using Energy Storage and Short Term Power Forecasting

Year: 2016

description: In this paper we formulate an optimization approach to schedule electrical loads given a short term prediction of time-varying power production and the ability to store only a limited amount of electrical energy. The proposed approach is unique and versatile as it allows scheduling of electrical loads that each have their own dynamic power demand during on/off switching, while also allowing the specification of minimum on/off times for each loads separately. The optimization approach is formulated as a parallel enumeration of all possible on/off times of the electrical loads using a moving time approach in which only a short term power production forecast is needed, while at the same time taking into account constraints on electrical energy storage and power delivery of a battery system. It is shown that the complexity of the optimization (number of enumerations) is limited by the number of data points in the short term power production forecast and the minimum on/off time of the electrical loads. The limited complexity along with parallel enumeration allows real-time operational scheduling of a large number of loads. The simulation results shown in this paper illustrate that relatively short term power forecast profiles can be used to effectively schedule dynamic loads with various dynamic load profiles.

description: We report on the spin waves and crystal field excitations in single crystal LiFePO$_4$ by inelastic neutron scattering over a wide range of temperatures, below and above the antiferromagnetic transition of this system. In particular, we find extra excitations below $T_N=50$ K that are nearly dispersionless and are most intense around magnetic zone centers. We show that these excitations correspond to transitions between thermally occupied excited states of Fe$^{2+}$ due to splitting of the $S=2$ levels that arise from crystal field and spin-orbit interaction. These excitations are further amplified by the highly distorted nature of the oxygen octahedron surrounding the iron atoms. Above $T_N$, magnetic fluctuations are observed up to at least 720~K, with additional excitation around 4 meV, likely caused by single-ion splittings through spin-orbit and crystal field interactions. The latter weakens slightly at 720~K compared to 100~K, which is consistent with calculated cross-sections using a single-ion model. Our theoretical analysis, using the MF-RPA model, provides both detailed spectra of the Fe $d-$ shell and estimates of the average ordered magnetic moment and $T_N$. By applying the MF-RPA model to a number of existing spin-wave results from other Li$M$PO$_4$ ($M=$ Mn, Co, and Ni), we are able to obtain reasonable predictions for the moment sizes and transition temperatures.

description: Summary methods are one of the dominant approaches for estimating species trees from genome-scale data. However, they can fail to produce accurate species trees when the input gene trees are highly discordant due to gene tree estimation error as well as biological processes, like incomplete lineage sorting. Here, we introduce a new summary method TREE-QMC that offers improved accuracy and scalability under these challenging scenarios. TREE-QMC builds upon the algorithmic framework of QMC (Snir and Rao 2010) and its weighted version wQMC (Avni et al. 2014). Their approach takes weighted quartets (four-leaf trees) as input and builds a species tree in a divide-and-conquer fashion, at each step constructing a graph and seeking its max cut. We improve upon this methodology in two ways. First, we address scalability by providing an algorithm to construct the graph directly from the input gene trees. By skipping the quartet weighting step, TREE-QMC has a time complexity of O(n^3 k) with some assumptions on subproblem sizes, where n is the number of species and k is the number of gene trees. Second, we address accuracy by normalizing the quartet weights to account for "artificial taxa," which are introduced during the divide phase so that solutions on subproblems can be combined during the conquer phase. Together, these contributions enable TREE-QMC to outperform the leading methods (ASTRAL-III, FASTRAL, wQFM) in an extensive simulation study. We also present the application of these methods to an avian phylogenomics data set.

description: Genome-scale data is increasingly available for species tree estimation, bringing attention to the fact that different regions of the genome can have evolutionary histories that differ from each other and from the species tree due to incomplete lineage sorting. This has led to the development of many new methods, some of which estimate the species tree from a collection of (estimated) gene trees. ASTRAL, the dominant method in this class, executes an exact algorithm for the Maximum Quartet Support Species Tree problem within a constrained solution space, constructed from the input gene trees. The other popular heuristics for this NP-hard problem, wQMC and wQFM, take a set of weighted quartets as input and construct the species tree in a divide-and-conquer fashion, for example via graph cuts. This approach has failed to compete with ASTRAL because it is less scalable when considering the time required to explicitly weight quartets based on the gene trees. Moreover, in prior studies, wQMC has been consistently less accurate than either wQFM or ASTRAL. Here, we address that the poor accuracy of wQMC by showing that the quartet graph should be normalized to account for "artificial taxa," which are introduced during the divide phase so that solutions on subproblems can be combined during the conquer phase. This led us to design efficient techniques for uniform and non-uniform graph normalization, with the goal of the latter being improved robustness on data sets with large numbers of taxa and gene tree heterogeneity. We provide an algorithm to construct the normalized quartet graph directly from the input gene trees, enabling our new method TREE-QMC to run in O(n^3 k) time where n is the number of species and k is the number of gene trees (provided some assumptions on subproblem sizes). In an extensive simulation study, graph normalization enabled TREE-QMC to be competitive in terms of species tree accuracy with ASTRAL-III and FASTRAL, a recent method that runs ASTRAL-III using an aggressively constrained solution space to speedup analyses. Notably, when the number of taxa was large (>=500), TREE-QMC (with non-uniform graph normalization) produced more accurate species trees than either FASTRAL and ASTRAL-III, at speeds closer to FASTRAL. We also re-analyzed an avian data set of 3,679 ultraconserved elements, finding that the estimated trees differed only on the short branches suggestive of ILS, with the TREE-QMC tree being closer to the concatenation tree than the ASTRAL-III/FASTRAL tree. Overall, our study shows that wQMC's divide-and-conquer framework can be competitive with the dynamic programming approach of ASTRAL.

description: The discontinuous Galerkin finite element method (DG-FEM) is successfully applied to treat a broad variety of transport problems numerically. In this work, we use the full capacity of the DG-FEM to solve the radiative transfer equation in spherical symmetry. We present a discontinuous Galerkin method to directly solve the spherically-symmetric radiative transfer equation as a two-dimensional problem. The transport equation in spherical atmospheres is more complicated than in the plane-parallel case due to the appearance of an additional derivative with respect to the polar angle. The DG-FEM formalism allows for the exact integration of arbitrarily complex scattering phase functions, independent of the angular mesh resolution. We show that the discontinuous Galerkin method is able to describe accurately the radiative transfer in extended atmospheres and to capture discontinuities or complex scattering behaviour which might be present in the solution of certain radiative transfer tasks and can, therefore, cause severe numerical problems for other radiative transfer solution methods.

description: Spin liquid is a state of electron spins in which quantum fluctuation breaks magnetic ordering while maintaining spin correlation. It has been a central topic in magnetism because of its relevance to high-Tc superconductivity and topological states. However, utilizing spin liquid has been quite difficult. Typical spin liquid states are realized in one-dimensional spin systems, called quantum spin chains. Here, we show that a spin liquid in a spin-1/2 quantum chain generates and carries spin current via its long-range spin fluctuation. This is demonstrated by observing an anisotropic negative spin Seebeck effect along the spin chains in Sr2CuO3. The results show that spin current can flow even in an atomic channel owing the spin liquid state, which can be used for atomic spin-current wiring.

description: We compare lattice scales determined from the vector meson mass and the Wilson flow scale w_0 in QCD with two-flavours of rooted naive staggered fermions over a wide range of lattice spacing and quark mass. We find that the distributions of meson correlation functions are non-Gaussian. We modify the statistical analysis to take care of the non-Gaussianity. Current day improvements in the statistical quality of data on hadron correlations further allow us to simplify certain aspects of the analysis of masses. We examine these changes through the analysis of pions and apply them to the vector meson. We compare the flow scale determined using the rho mass with that using Lambda_{MSbar}.

description: The analytical formula for the time-resolved dynamical Franz-Keldysh effect (Tr-DFKE) under an elliptically polarized laser in sub-femtosecond time-scale is reported. The Houston function is assumed as the time-dependent wave function of the parabolic two-band system. The resulting formula shows the sub-cycle change of the optical properties for elliptically polarization; the modulation of the dielectric function becomes smaller than that of linear polarization. On the other hand, the subcycle modulation of the dielectric function disappears for a circularly polarized laser, which is a significant feature of the Tr-DFKE. This analytical formulas show good qualitative agreement with the first-principle calculation employing the time-dependent density functional theory for diamond.

description: We combine the fields of heuristic optimization and optimal stopping. We propose a strategy for benchmarking randomized optimization algorithms that minimizes the expected total cost for obtaining a good solution with an optimal number of calls to the solver. To do so, rather than letting the objective function alone define a cost to be minimized, we introduce a further cost-per-call of the algorithm. We show that this problem can be formulated using optimal stopping theory. The expected cost is a flexible figure of merit for benchmarking probabilistic solvers that can be computed when the optimal solution is not known, and that avoids the biases and arbitrariness that affect other measures. The optimal stopping formulation of benchmarking directly leads to a real-time, optimal-utilization strategy for probabilistic optimizers with practical impact. We apply our formulation to benchmark simulated annealing on a class of MAX2SAT problems. We also compare the performance of a D-Wave 2X quantum annealer to the HFS solver, a specialized classical heuristic algorithm designed for low tree-width graphs. On a set of frustrated-loop instances with planted solutions defined on up to N = 1098 variables, the D-Wave device is two orders of magnitude faster than the HFS solver, and, modulo known caveats related to suboptimal annealing times, exhibits identical scaling with problem size.

description: We investigate the delivery of regular and deuterated forms of water from prestellar cores to circumstellar disks. We adopt a semi-analytical axisymmetric two-dimensional collapsing core model with post-processing gas-ice astrochemical simulations, in which a layered ice structure is considered. The physical and chemical evolutions are followed until the end of the main accretion phase. When mass averaged over the whole disk, a forming disk has a similar H2O abundance and HDO/H2O abundance ratio as their precollapse values (within a factor of 2), regardless of time in our models. Consistent with previous studies, our models suggest that interstellar water ice is delivered to forming disks without significant alteration. On the other hand, the local vertically averaged H2O ice abundance and HDO/H2O ice ratio can differ more, by up to a factor of several, depending on time and distance from a central star. Key parameters for the local variations are the fluence of stellar UV photons en route into the disk and the ice layered structure, the latter of which is mostly established in the prestellar stages. We also find that even if interstellar water ice is destroyed by stellar UV and (partly) reformed prior to disk entry, the HDO/H2O ratio in reformed water ice is similar to the original value. This finding indicates that some caution is needed in discussions on the prestellar inheritance of H2O based on comparisons between the observationally derived HDO/H2O ratio in clouds/cores and that in disks/comets. Alternatively, we propose that the ratio of D2O/HDO to HDO/H2O better probes the prestellar inheritance of H2O. It is also found that icy organics are more enriched in deuterium than water ice in forming disks. The differential deuterium fractionation in water and organics is inherited from the prestellar stages.

description: Der Beitrag geht der Frage nach, welche Herausforderungen ein verlässliches räumliches hochauflösendes Flächen(nutzungs)monitoring stellt, welche Lösungsansätze existieren, vergleicht diese und zeigt am Ende auf, wie ein robustes Flächenmonitoring aussehen könnte.
 Ausgangspunkt ist eine Übersicht, welche Handlungsfelder ein verlässliches Flächenmonitoring benötigen. Das betrifft nicht nur eine empirisch gut begründete nachhaltige Flächenpolitik, sondern auch die Wohnstandort-, Gewerbegebiets-, Verkehrs-, Infrastruktur- und Energieflächenplanung zur Sicherung der Daseinsvorsorge. Nachfolgend werden Probleme der Flächenerhebung beschrieben wie das Fehlen von Referenzdaten, Probleme, die sich aus einer sekundärstatistischen Erhebung ergeben sowie die Unterscheidung und Abgrenzung von Landnutzung und Landbedeckung. Herausforderungen für ein praxistaugliches Flächenmonitoring sind bestehende Aktualitätsanforderungen, Anforderungen an die räumliche Auflösung, an die thematische Differenzierung der Erhebungsklassen, Abgrenzungsprobleme zwischen den Klassen, methodische Erhebungsveränderungen im Zeitverlauf, Genauigkeit der Bestimmung von Änderungen und Trends und der Umgang mit neuen Fragen wie multifunktionale Flächennutzungen.
 Im dritten Teil werden Datenanforderungen einer Nachhaltigkeitstransformation aufgelistet, so zur Unterstützung der Landwende (Brachflächen, Baulücken, Bodenversiegelung, multifunktionale Flächennutzungen, Kompensationsflächen), der Energiewende (Gebäudealter, Gebäudeklasse, Energieausweis) bzw. der Landwirtschaftswende (Ökolandbau, intensive/extensive Wiesenbewirtschaftung).
 Im vierten Teil werden die methodischen Stärken und Schwächen einer flächenbasierten versus einer stichprobenbasierten Flächenerhebung gegenübergestellt, verglichen und bewertet. Dieses erfolgt einerseits an den flächenbasierten sekundärstatistischen Erhebungen in der amtlichen Flächenerhebung, die auf Katasterdatengrundlage beruht, dem Monitor der Siedlungs- und Freiraumentwicklung (IÖR-Monitor), die auf geotopographischen Datengrundlage beruht und anderseits auf der stichprobenbasierten Flächenerhebung der Schweizer Arealstatistik.
 Der Beitrag schließt mit einer Darstellung von Ideen und laufenden Entwicklungen, die ein Flächenmonitoring deutlich verbessern könnten.
Dormant Comets Among the Near-Earth Object Population: A Meteor-Based Survey

description: Dormant comets in the near-Earth object (NEO) population are thought to be involved in the terrestrial accretion of water and organic materials. Identification of dormant comets is difficult as they are observationally indistinguishable from their asteroidal counterparts, however they may have produced dust during their final active stages which potentially are detectable today as weak meteor showers at the Earth. Here we present the result of a reconnaissance survey looking for dormant comets using 13~567~542 meteor orbits measured by the Canadian Meteor Orbit Radar (CMOR). We simulate the dynamical evolution of the hypothetical meteoroid streams originated from 407 near-Earth asteroids in cometary orbits (NEACOs) that resemble orbital characteristics of Jupiter-family comets (JFCs). Out of the 44 hypothetical showers that are predicted to be detectable by CMOR, we identify 5 positive detections that are statistically unlikely to be chance associations, including 3 previously known associations. This translates to a lower limit to the dormant comet fraction of $2.0\pm1.7\%$ in the NEO population and a dormancy rate of $\sim 10^{-5}~\mathrm{yr^{-1}}$ per comet. The low dormancy rate confirms disruption and dynamical removal as the dominant end state for near-Earth JFCs. We also predict the existence of a significant number of meteoroid streams whose parents have already been disrupted or dynamically removed.

description: We present three-dimensional (3D) non-local thermodynamic equilibrium (non-LTE) radiative transfer calculations for silicon in the solar photosphere, using an extensive model atom that includes recent, realistic neutral hydrogen collisional cross-sections. We find that photon losses in the SiI lines give rise to slightly negative non-LTE abundance corrections of the order -0.01 dex. We infer a 3D non-LTE based solar silicon abundance of 7.51 dex. With silicon commonly chosen to be the anchor between the photospheric and meteoritic abundances, we find that the meteoritic abundance scale remains unchanged compared with the Asplund et al. (2009) and Lodders et al. (2009) results.

description: Energy and environmental concerns are often in conflict. However, there are opportunities for technological synergies that can decrease negative environmental impacts while increasing efficiencies in the worldwide quest for traditional energy resources. Increasing concentrations of anthropogenic CO₂ and other greenhouse gasses in the Earth's atmosphere are contributing to the natural greenhouse gas effect, possibly leading to changes in the Earth's climate. Meanwhile, the development of commercial CO₂ capture technologies, in concert with already-developed enhanced oil recovery methods, has tremendous potential to increase incremental oil production and limit the negative impacts of coal fired power generation. Capturing CO₂ from the flue gas and then disposing of it in mature oil reservoirs can achieve a significant reduction of greenhouse gases while providing an economic incentive to develop geologic sequestration that does not exist in the United States under current environmental regulations. This research describes geologic sequestration technologies and principles of economic feasibility. Ultimately, the retrofit and disposal process described throughout the text is not economic

description: We discuss the possibility to obtain a massive Landau gauge, based on the local composite operator (LCO) effective action framework combined with the Zimmerman reduction of couplings prescription. As a way to deal with the gauge ambiguity, we check that the ghost propagator remains positive, a necessary condition for gluon field configurations beyond the Gribov region to be negligible. We pay attention to the BRST invariance of the construction, allowing for a future generalization to a class of massive linear covariant gauges. As a litmus test, we compare our predictions to the lattice data for the two-point functions in Landau gauge introducing the "Dynamically Infrared-Safe" renormalization scheme, including the renormalization group optimization of both the gap equation and the two-point functions. We also discuss the relation to and differences with the Curci-Ferrari model, the usefulness of which in providing an effective perturbative description of non-perturbative Yang-Mills theories became clear during recent years.
