title: Effects of Heavy Metals on Benthic Macroinvertebrates in the Cordillera Blanca, Peru
Creators: name: Burgess, George L.
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 2015

description:
Glacial retreat as a result of global climate change is causing ongoing alterations in the hydrogeochemistry of streams in the glacial foreland of the Cordillera Blanca mountain range in Ancash, Peru. Changes in water chemistry include increased concentrations of toxic metals and decreased pH, which have the potential to affect the structure of benthic macroinvertebrate communities in impacted streams. This study measured physical-chemical water quality parameters, metal concentrations, and macroinvertebrate abundances at 29 sample reaches throughout seven valleys located in Huascaran National Park. The relationships of invertebrate abundances and metrics of community structure to water quality parameters, including metal concentrations, were analyzed by non-parametric correlation. Several sensitive local taxa were identified, including the Baetidae, Heptageniidae, Helodidae, and Tabanidae families, as well as the Oligochaeta. In addition, a regional source analysis was conducted for toxic metals, which found six of seven consistently detected metals share a common source. Finally, an analysis of the cumulative criterion unit (CCU) was performed; CCU, an approach to metal mixture toxicity, can be calculated either on the basis of total or dissolved metals. Previous studies in the region used total metal concentrations. Invertebrate abundances and metrics correlated about as well or slightly better, in general, with CCU computed on the basis of dissolved metals as they did with CCU computed with total metals.

description: We generalize the scale-free network model of Barabàsi and Albert [Science 286, 509 (1999)] by proposing a class of stochastic models for scale-free interdependent networks in which interdependent nodes are not randomly connected but rather are connected via preferential attachment (PA). Each network grows through the continuous addition of new nodes, and new nodes in each network attach preferentially and simultaneously to (a) well-connected nodes within the same network and (b) well-connected nodes in other networks. We present analytic solutions for the power-law exponents as functions of the number of links both between networks and within networks. We show that a cross-clustering coefficient vs. size of network $N$ follows a power law. We illustrate the models using selected examples from the Internet and finance.

description: We discuss the application of an effective field theory (EFT) which incorporates the chiral symmetry of QCD to Compton scattering from the proton and deuteron. We describe the chiral EFT analysis of the proton Compton scattering database presented in our recent review (arXiv:1203.6834), which gives: alpha^{(p)}=10.5 +/- 0.5(stat) +/- 0.8(theory); beta^{(p)}= 2.7 +/- 0.5(stat) +/- 0.8(theory), for the electric and magnetic dipole polarizability of the proton. We also summarize the chiral EFT analysis of the world data on coherent Compton scattering from deuterium presented in arXiv:1203.6834. That yields: alpha^{(s)}=10.5 +/- 2.0(stat) +/- 0.8(theory); beta^{(s)}=3.6 +/- 1.0(stat) +/- 0.8(theory).

description: How did the location of industry across interwar Poland react to the Polish reunification? After more than 120 years of political and economic separation, Poland was reunified at the end of 1918. In consequence, the removal of internal tariff barriers and improved infrastructure strengthened the domestic market, while foreign market relations were cut off. Similarly, the geographical distribution of factor endowments was changed, for example through internal migration. How did these forces interact to determine the location of industry? We survey the dynamics of industrial location between 1902 and 1925-1937 andestimate a specification that nests market potential and comparative advantage to quantify their respective impact during the interwar years. The results point to a role for both, comparative advantage and access to markets. We show that both statistically and economically the most important factors were the endowment with skilled labour and interindustry- linkages.

description: The coming flavour precision era will allow to uncover various patterns of flavour violation in different New Physics (NP) scenarios that are presently washed out by hadronic and experimental uncertainties. We illustrate this by performing the anatomy of flavour violation in the 331 models, based on the gauge group SU(3)_C X SU(3)_L X U(1)_X that are among the simplest NP scenarios with new sources of flavour and CP violation. The latter originate dominantly through the flavour violating interactions of ordinary quarks and leptons with a new heavy Z' gauge boson. After discussing first these models in some generality, we present a detailed study of Delta F=2 observables and of rare K and B meson decays in the specific beta=1/\sqrt{3} model (to be called overline{331} model) assuming significantly smaller uncertainties in CKM and hadronic parameters than presently available. The most prominent roles in our analysis play epsilon_K, Delta M_q (q=d,s), the mixing induced CP asymmetries S_{psi K_S} and S_{psi phi}, rare decays B_{s,d}-> mu^+ mu^- and in particular the CP-asymmetry S_{mu^+ mu^-}^s in B_s ->mu^+ mu^-. We identify a number of correlations between various observables that differ from those known from CMFV models. While, the Delta F=2 observables allow still for four oases in the new parameter space, we demonstrate how the inclusion of Delta F=1 observables can in the future identify the optimal oasis for this model. For 1 TeV <= M_{Z'}<= 3 TeV the overline{331} model is in good agreement with the recent data for B^+->tau^+ nu_tau, it removes the epsilon_K-S_{psi K_S} tension present in the SM and the epsilon_K-Delta M_{s,d} tension present in CMFV models. Simultaneously, while differing from the SM, it is consistent with the present data on BR(B_{s,d}->mu^+ mu^-) and S_{psi phi}. We identify the triple correlation BR(B_s->mu^+ mu^-)-S_{psi phi}-S_{mu^+ mu^-}^s.

title: Toward Sovereignty: Zhang Zhidong’s Military Strengthening of China, 1884-1901
Creators: name: Chang, Adam Y.
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 2016

description:
The conventional history of China’s late nineteenth-century Self-Strengthening movement charted a failure of military reforms. My research explores this period through the perspective of the prominent governor-general Zhang Zhidong. From 1884-1901, Zhang consistently pursued new military academies and western-style armies aiming to secure the nation against foreign imperialist incursion. At the same time, the governor’s understanding of regional differences as well as his increasing experience in military affairs distinctly shaped his effective new military institutions. At the turn of the century, Zhang Zhidong’s military apparatus was arguably one of the best in China. In the wider analysis of Chinese military history, the governor’s career contrasted with other historical figures by its peripatetic nature and its continuity through the Sino-Japanese War and Boxer Rebellion. Zhang’s many jurisdictions showed not only his consistent dedication to military power as a means to national sovereignty, but also created numerous military institutions for study. More importantly, the continuity in the governor’s effective military reforms underlined fundamental historical misunderstandings about the nature of late-Qing China. First, Zhang’s successful military institutions contended with China’s deterioration narrative from 1895 to the dynastic fall in 1911. Second, the reason for historical misinterpretation stemmed from the obscuring of both late-Qing historians’ and the historical actors’ perceptions by the influences of western imperialism. Ultimately, the study of Zhang Zhidong’s military reforms shows a discontinuity in the conventional historical narrative, and thus creates space for increased Chinese agency in their own history.

description: Here we propose the approach to design of the new type of hybrids of oligonucleotides with fluorescein-functionalized single-walled carbon nanotubes. The approach is based on stacking interactions of functionalized nanotubes with pyrene residues in conjugates of oligonucleotides. The amino- and fluorescein-modified single-walled carbon nanotubes were obtained, and their physico-chemical properties were investigated. The effect of carbon nanotubes functionalization type on the efficacy of sorption of pyrene conjugates of oligonucleotides was examined. Proposed non-covalent hybrids of fluorescein-labeled carbon nanotubes with oligonucleotides may be used for intracellular transport of functional nucleic acids.

(When) Does Money Growth Help to Predict Euro-area Inflation at Low Frequencies?

description: Short answer: It helps a lot when other important variables are excluded from the information set. Longer answer: We revisit claims in the literature that money growth is Granger-causal for inflation at low frequencies. Applying frequency-specific tests in a comprehensive system setup for euro-area data we consider various theoretical predictors of inflation. A general-to-specific testing strategy reveals a recursive structure where only the unemployment rate and long-term interest rates are directly Granger-causal for low- frequency inflation movements, and all variables affect money growth. We therefore interpret opposite results from bivariate inflation/money growth systems as spurious due to omittedvariable biases. We also analyze the resulting four-dimensional system in a cointegration framework and find structural changes in the long-run adjustment behavior, which do not affect the main conclusions, however.

description: We estimate the impact of a differential treatment of paid employees versus self-employed workers in a public health insurance system on the entry rate into entrepreneurship. In Germany, the public health insurance system is mandatory for most paid employees, but not for the selfemployed, who usually buy private health insurance. Private health insurance contributions are relatively low for the young and healthy, and until 2013 also for males, but less attractive at the other ends of these dimensions and if membership in the public health insurance allows other family members to be covered by contribution-free family insurance. Therefore, the health insurance system can create incentives or disincentives to starting up a business depending on the family’s situation and health. We estimate a discrete time hazard rate model of entrepreneurial entry based on representative household panel data for Germany, which include personal health information, and we account for non- random sample selection. We estimate that an increase in the health insurance cost differential between self-employed workers and paid employees by 100 euro per month decreases the annual probability of entry into selfemployment by 0.38 percentage points, i.e. about a third of the average annual entry rate. The results show that the phenomenon of entrepreneurship lock, which an emerging literature describes for the system of employer provided health insurance in the USA, can also occur in a public health insurance system. Therefore, entrepreneurial activity should be taken into account when discussing potential health care reforms, not only in the USA and in Germany.
Assessing Simulated Transmissivity in Numerical Flow Models of Complex Hydrogeology
Creators: name: Tarar, Afan
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2019

description: Accurately extracting a meaningful transmissivity, a target value within one order of magnitude of field estimates, in numerical models poses a significant challenge when modeling complex groundwater systems. Aquifer transmissivity is directly proportional to the aquifer thickness and the estimated aquifer hydraulic conductivity. In complex geologic conditions (especially in fractured systems) with multiple heterogeneous and anisotropic hydrogeologic units, transmissivity can vary over several orders of magnitude.
To extract a meaningful value of transmissivity from a numerical model, a simple five-layer MODFLOW model was constructed. Each layer in the model was assigned a fixed hydraulic conductivity and thickness. The model simulates multiple pumping scenarios with varying combinations of hydraulic conductivity, aquifer thicknesses, and locations of the well screen to simulate aquifer tests.
Two extraction methods, the Screen Interval and Layer Summation, were used to extract transmissivity values from the five-layer model, and first compared to model-assigned transmissivity values and then to transmissivity estimated from simulated pumping tests using the Cooper-Jacob Approximation. A similar process was repeated with a more complex groundwater model, the Death Valley regional groundwater-flow system v. 2.0 numerical model. However, in the Death Valley regional groundwater-flow system v. 2.0 numerical model analysis, the Screen Interval and Layer Summation values were compared to field estimated values, not model-assigned transmissivity values.
The results of these comparisons show that transmissivity values extracted from a numerical model can vary many orders of magnitude from model assigned transmissivity values, and in the case of the Death Valley regional groundwater-flow system v. 2.0 numerical model, field estimated transmissivity. However, out of the 30 pumping scenarios run, the Screen Interval method transmissivity values were all within half an order of magnitude with the model input transmissivity and was found to be the most sensitive to the variation in transmissivity in both the simple five-layer model and Death Valley regional groundwater-flow system v. 2.0 numerical model. The Screen Interval extraction method may provide the most meaningful comparison of transmissivity between model results and field estimates
Correlation Between Pluripotent Stem Cell Markers and microRNA Expression in Dental Pulp Stem Cells
Creators: name: Whiting, Mark
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2019

description: In human development there are many factors that cause our cells to form certain organs and systems with specific functions. These cells original start as stem cells before biological processes take over and cause differentiation into different cell lines. Since these undifferentiated stem cells have been discovered, many studies have been done to try and find the exact mechanism that causes a cell to change into another specific cell. Due to the multiple sources that stem cells can be harvest from the human body, this knowledge of how differentiation works could lead to breakthroughs in regenerative medicine.
Traditional biomarkers have been the focus of much research in identifying characteristics of stem cells. Biomarkers include Oct-4, Sox-2, NANOG, and Nestin. The aforementioned biomarkers have been shown to identify stem cells that have pluripotent properties with potential to differentiate.
MicroRNA (miRNA) are small nucleotide chains that have been the topic of research in recent years. These chains have been shown to be involved in affecting gene expression and silencing. This fact has led to further studies to try and identify miRNA's relationship with stem cell's potential for differentiation.
The data for the following two studies provide evidence of the existence of certain miRNAs in a unique source of stem cells, specifically dental pulp stem cells (DPSC). The miRNA molecules investigated in these DPSCs include miR-16, miR-27, miR-124, miR-135, and miR-218. Evidence suggests the presence of specific miRNA in certain DPSC lines which include miR-16, miR-27, miR-124 and miR-218. With differential expression of miR-27, miR- 124 and miR-218 in our different DPSC lines, evidence suggest these miRNA may impact the cells potential for differentiation.
Furthermore, these miRNA molecules were cross-referenced with the expression of certain characteristics of these DPSC line. Characteristics include the presence of biomarkers Oct-4, Sox-2, NANOG and Nestin. In addition, we also looked at their relation to the DPSC lines viability and proliferation rates. Our results have shown that biomarkers Oct-4, Sox-2 and Nanog correlated more with total live cell count whereas miRNAs miR-27, miR218, miR-124 and miR- 16 were more closely related to cellular viability. Further research will be needed to more fully understand the relationship.

We first note that these two spectra coincide so providing a universal scaling property of this function. Furthermore, we consider the problem of approximating our M-L function with simpler CM functions for small and large times. We provide two different sets of elementary CM functions that are asymptotically equivalent to $e_α(t)$ as $t \to 0$ and $t \to \infty$.

Ecological controls on the diversity and morphology of eastern Australian spiders

description: Spiders are an extraordinarily diverse group of organisms found virtually everywhere on the planet. Australian spiders present a broad array of hunting strategies and come from a wide variety of environments. However, the details of their diversity patterns and the relationships between their ecological roles and their overall body plans are not fully understood. The aim of this thesis is to address these matters. Firstly, species diversity estimates for the whole of eastern Australia were calculated using multiple measures (Chao 1, Fisher's ɑ and Simpson's index) based on an occurrence dataset spanning 9483 quarter degree cells within New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland. Comparisons of estimated richness in well-sampled areas to environmental conditions based on multiple regressions suggest that temperature and precipitation are equally important drivers of spider diversity, as opposed to the older finding that temperature is more important in many other groups. The increasing aridity of Australia resulting from global climate change likely means that the local-scale diversity of spiders will decline instead of increasing. Further analyses were based on measurements of 25 body plan components of 553 species found in eastern Australia. These measurements were of body segment dimensions and lengths of leg components ranging from the femur to the tarsus for each leg pair. The measurement data were then subjected to principal coordinates analysis to see how morphology varies across environments, hunting methods, and phylogenetic groupings. Spatial autoregressions were used to control for autocorrelation, and k-means cluster analysis was used to see how the major morphological groupings compared with phylogenetic and hunting method groupings. The morphospaces show that phylogenetic relatedness and sharing of hunting methods are equally important drivers, and that environmental signatures have little impact on spider size or shape. The results also show that the uniformity of diet across this insectivorous clade does not translate into uniformity of morphology. Despite that, representatives of individual species vary little in their morphology, and families or other groups of spiders can be separated from each other readily based on their body plans. The data therefore provide rich information regarding ecology and phylogeny.

description: Quantum memories are regarded as one of the fundamental building blocks of linear-optical quantum computation and long-distance quantum communication. A long standing goal to realize scalable quantum information processing is to build a long-lived and efficient quantum memory. There have been significant efforts distributed towards this goal. However, either efficient but short-lived or long-lived but inefficient quantum memories have been demonstrated so far. Here we report a high-performance quantum memory in which long lifetime and high retrieval efficiency meet for the first time. By placing a ring cavity around an atomic ensemble, employing a pair of clock states, creating a long-wavelength spin wave, and arranging the setup in the gravitational direction, we realize a quantum memory with an intrinsic spin wave to photon conversion efficiency of 73(2)% together with a storage lifetime of 3.2(1) ms. This realization provides an essential tool towards scalable linear-optical quantum information processing.

title: May Ayim's Blue Notes in Blues in Schwarz Weiss
Creators: name: Taylor, Gabrielle
Publisher: name: University of Kentucky Libraries
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Languages and Literature

description: May Ayim has become a staple when it comes to Black German poetry within German Studies and continues to influence and challenge ideas of what it means to be black in Germany at the end of the 20th century. What is perhaps not challenged enough is the ways in which we, the readers and students of German literature and poetry, approach and study Ayim’s poetry as we move deeper into the 21st century. Her collection of poetry, Blues in Schwarz Weiss, can be seen through a significant word found in her collection’s title—blues. It is through blues, the musical form as well as the cultural influences therein, that we can better view and follow the intentional ways that Ayim chooses to create and present her work to herself and the world.

The blues scale, in the truest musical sense, is “a pentatonic scale with one morenote added in the scale”. This added note is specifically called the “blue note”. It is in fact through the viewpoint of the blues scale and “blue notes” that we can read Ayim’s poetry and better understand her structure, not only of the individual poems, but the collection as a whole. Ayim’s poetry displays “blue notes” and juxtaposes them beside the larger “scale” that is the majority white German society. Blues in Schwarz Weiss is therefore a cultural blues product that follows the tradition of blues music by transcending any one singular perspective or thought, instead using the tension between these angles or mindsets to create a third space--a space where different traditions can speak to and have a conversation with one another (Brommel 197). In my research, I plan on using the four “blues form features” presented in Nick Brommel’s analysis—intonation, call-and-response, the “lick”, and blues paradigms—to help categorize the distinct influences and allusions to blues music that Ayim utilizes in her work, and the ways in which the poems themselves are a reflection of blues music forms.

title: ANTIRESORPTIVE BONE THERAPY USE IN ADVANCED LUNG CANCER AND ASSOCIATED OUTCOMES
Creators: name: Naffakh, Noor
Publisher: name: University of Kentucky Libraries

Subjects: subject: Medical and Health sciences

description: Background/Rationale: Studies have shown antiresorptive agents decrease skeletal related events in metastatic non-small cell lung cancer. However, two prevalence studies have found low utilization rates of antiresorptive therapy in advanced lung cancer. The first study reported a rate of 14.8% during the 1995-2009 time period, while the second study reported a 33% usage rate during the time frame of 2002-2011. We believe these low utilization rates are associated with the poor prognosis of these patients. The prognosis of advanced lung cancer has improved significantly since these trials were conducted, and the utilization of denosumab has not been evaluated. We hypothesize that intravenous antiresportive bone therapies are underutilized in patients with metastatic lung cancer.

Objectives: To characterize the utilization of antiresportive therapies in patients with metastatic lung cancer and to evaluate predictive factors in their initiation.

Methods: This study was a retrospective analysis of EHR data from the University of Kentucky Enterprise Data Warehouse (UKEDW) linked to Kentucky Cancer Registry (KCR) containing patients from 1/1/2013 to 1/31/2020. Patients diagnosed with metastatic lung cancer are included with “index date” being date of first systemic treatment. Key exclusion criteria included lack of systemic therapy provided at UK. Incidence of antiresorptive bone therapy initiation was measured. Descriptive statistics and multivariate logistic regressions were performed to assess factors predicting use and selection of agent.

Results: Over the study time period, only 16.3 % of patients who received their first systemic therapy at UK were initiated on an antiresorptive bone medication, with denosumab being the primary agent used (~65%). Logistic regression analysis shows that patients with bone metastasis present at diagnosis of stage IV NSCLC had 4.26 times the odds of receiving an antiresorptive bone medication (95% [CI: 2.146,8.442]) than those who did not have bone metastasis at diagnosis.

Conclusions: For metastatic non-small cell lung cancer patients receiving their first systemic therapy at the University of Kentucky, antiresorptive bone therapies are being underutilized with the primary predictor of use as bone metastasis at diagnosis.

description: Clinical competency committees (CCCs) are increasingly used within health professions education as their decisions are thought to be more defensible and fairer than those generated by previous training promotion processes. However, as with most group-based processes, it is inevitable that conflict will arise. In this paper the authors explore three ways conflict may arise within a CCC: (1) conflicting data submissions that are presented to the committee, (2) conflicts between members of the committee, and (3) conflicts of interest between a specific committee member and a trainee. The authors describe each of these conflict situations, dissect out the underlying problems, and explore possible solutions based on the current literature.

description: Over the last Century the method of particle acceleration to high energies has become the prime approach to explore the fundamental nature of matter in laboratory. It appears that the latest search of the contemporary accelerator based on the colliders shows a sign of saturation (or at least a slow-down) in increasing its energy and other necessary parameters to extend this frontier. We suggest two pronged approach enabled by the recent progress in high intensity lasers.

description: A paperclip can float on water. Drops of mercury refuse to spread on a surface. These capillary phenomena are macroscopic manifestations of molecular interactions, and can be explained in terms of surface tension. For students, the concept of surface tension is quite challenging since the microscopic intuition is often in conflict with the common macroscopic interpretations. In this paper we address a number of conceptual questions that are often encountered when teaching capillarity. By answering these questions we provide a perspective that reconciles the macroscopic viewpoints, from thermodynamics or fluid mechanics, and the microscopic perspective from statistical physics.
title: "They Gave Hungary Away": Depression and Traumatic Cultural Identity Among Hungarians
Creators: name: Gombocz, Katarina
Publisher: name: Western Washington University

description:
Depression and suicide rates have been and continue to be high in Hungary relative to other European countries. An investigation of cultural and social circumstances in Hungary that might exacerbate these rates needs to be undertaken to elucidate potential risk factors for these rates. This study investigated how four Hungarian women (both native and from immigrant families) living in the United States make sense of depression in their families with a particular focus on triggers. Data was gathered in the form of family stories about depression during interviews and analyzed using grounded theory analysis. In making sense of depression in their families these four women narrate stories of identity loss, a negative Hungarian worldview, and historical references to collective Hungarian traumas, drawing upon family stories in constructing a particular Hungarian Traumatic Cultural Identity in explaining origins for depression. The construction of this identity also provides therapeutic value as the women make sense of their and their family members’ depression. This study has important implications for mental health professionals in culturally-competent screening and diagnosis of both Hungarian immigrants and descendants suffering from depression in the United States.

description: In reality, a system and its components, apart from internal failures, are often exposed to external shocks as well. Since external shocks have significant effects on the performance of the system, neglecting their effects during reliability analysis of the system leads to large prediction errors and even misleading conclusions. In this paper, we present a new method for reliability analysis of coherent systems subject to internal failures and random external shocks. The cumulative probability of failure (CPF) is used as an index to quantify the effects of random external shocks on the reliability of the components and a three-moment saddlepoint approximation approach is proposed to predict the CPF. In addition, the theory of survival signature is applied to assess the associations of the components of the system to calculate the reliability of the system efficiently. Finally, two numerical examples are utilized to demonstrate the validity and effectiveness of the proposed method.

description: We consider the Wulff-type energy functional $$ \mathcal{W}_Ω(u) := \int_ΩB(H(\nabla u (x))) - F(u(x)) \, dx, $$ where $B$ is positive, monotone and convex, and $H$ is positive homogeneous of degree 1. The critical points of this functional satisfy a possibly singular or degenerate, quasilinear equation in an anisotropic medium. We prove that the gradient of the solution is bounded at any point by the potential $F(u)$ and we deduce several rigidity and symmetry properties.

description:
One of the continuing challenges in wildland fire management is maintaining accurate vegetation and fuel data of an adequate resolution on an ever-changing landscape. The USGS’s LANDFIRE program produces national, mid-level resolution datasets of fuel, vegetation, and fire regime data useful in the modeling of wildland fire behavior. One of the most effective and least expensive ways for maintaining the accuracy of these layers is to incorporate area updates by detecting landscape changes. While many algorithms exist for detecting change and disturbances, these algorithms are often tuned for a particular landscape and require very precise training data or rely heavily on scene statistics. This research looks at a method for detecting wildland fire across a broad array of landscapes using a collection of computer-generated rules built from hundreds of thousands of points of training data. Verification of the results were assessed by visual comparison to a time series of high spatial resolution imagery through Google Earth and cross-referenced to fires from various historical databases. A majority of the fires detected in this assessment were in either a conifer or grassland landscape. The methods outlined in this thesis performed best in those two landscapes, detecting 73% to 78% of conifer fires correctly and 79% to 83% of grassland fires correctly.

description: The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is a future instrument for very-high-energy (VHE) gamma-ray astronomy that is expected to deliver an order of magnitude improvement in sensitivity over existing instruments. In order to meet the physics goals of CTA in a cost-effective way, Monte Carlo simulations of the telescope array are used in its design. Specifically, we simulate large arrays comprising numerous large-size, medium-size and small-size telescopes whose configuration parameters are chosen based on current technical design studies and understanding of the costs involved. Subset candidate arrays with various layout configurations are then selected and evaluated in terms of key performance parameters, such as the sensitivity. This is carried out using a number of data analysis methods, some of which were developed within the field and extended to CTA, while others were developed specifically for this purpose. We outline some key results from recent studies that illustrate our approach to the optimization of the CTA design.
