In this work, we propose a PRivAcy-Diversity-Aware Team Formation framework, namely PRADA-TF, that can be deployed based on the trust relationships between users in online social networks (OSNs). Our proposed PRADA-TF is mainly designed to reflect team members' domain expertise and privacy preserving preferences when a task requires a wide range of diverse domain expertise for its successful completion. The proposed PRADA-TF aims to form a team based on members' characteristics in their diversity, privacy preserving, and information sharing so as to maximize the performance of the team. We leveraged a game theory called Mechanism Design in order for a mechanism designer as a team leader to select team members that can maximize the team's social welfare, which is the sum of all team members' utilities considering team productivity, members' privacy preserving, and potential privacy loss caused by information sharing. To screen a set of candidate teams in the OSN, we built an expert social network based on real co-authorship datasets with 1,590 scientists, used the semi-synthetic datasets to construct a trust network representing the trust relationship between the users in OSNs, and identified trustworthy users as candidate team members. Via our extensive simulation experiments, we compared the seven different team formation (TF) schemes, including our proposed and existing TF algorithms, and analyzed the key factors that can significantly impact the expected and actual social welfare, expected and actual potential privacy leakout, and team diversity of a selected team.

This report acts as an independent study which contributes to the author’s participation in the 2012-2013 Kansas City Design Center planning and urban design studio. The project focuses on Independence Avenue in Kansas City, MO, the commercial and transportation backbone of seven neighborhoods, collectively known as Northeast Kansas City. Residents of these neighborhoods place great value in the “diversity” which exists in their neighborhoods, and have made it clear that this should be encouraged as a major part of the Northeast’s identity. This inspired the author to pursue a deeper understanding of the idea of diverse neighborhoods, how they fit into the “sustainable development” consciousness, and ultimately how one can plan and design for neighborhood diversity. The resulting study consisted of two levels of analysis. First, analyzing the mixture of age, sex, household type, race, and income level at the regional, city, and neighborhood scale, in order to understand what social diversity means in the Kansas City context, and define how diverse Northeast Kansas City neighborhoods are. The second was an analysis of conditions in the built environment. Using the Scarritt Renaissance and Lykins neighborhoods, and a common commercial district/social seam between the two as a case study, the author intended to analyze how successful or unsuccessful the typical Northeast neighborhood is at encouraging diverse populations. Ultimately, these analyses yielded two main conclusions. The first is that neighborhood diversity means drastically different things depending on how you define and measure the term. The second is the notion that social seam commercial districts are a unique spatial typology, which requires special design consideration, and can be most catalytic to setting the tone for future growth. Finally, the author concludes with the idea that one cannot necessarily plan or design for diverse neighborhoods, but they can do so in ways which empower diversity, and be conducive to things which support diverse neighborhoods. However, the built environment only makes up a portion of the things which influence neighborhood diversity, requiring an involved and invested community who values social diversity in their neighborhood.

Повний текст джерелаThis dissertation consists of three chapters. The first chapter consists of a survey of the literature on affirmative action and diversity objective in school choice mechanisms. It presents and analyzes some of the main papers on the subject, showing the evolution of our understanding of the effects that different affirmative action policies have on the welfare and fairness of student assignments, the satisfaction of the diversity objectives as well as the domain of policies that allows for stable outcomes. The second chapter analyzes the problem of school choice mechanisms when policy-makers have objectives over the distribution of students by type across the schools. I show that mechanisms currently available in the literature may fail to a great extent in satisfying those objectives, and introduce a new one, which satisfies two properties. First, it produces assignments that satisfy a fairness criterion which incorporates the diversity objectives as an element of fairness. Second, it approximates optimally the diversity objectives while still satisfying the fairness criterion. We do so by embedding "preference" for those objectives into the schools' choice functions in a way that satisfies the substitutability condition and then using the school-proposing deferred acceptance procedure. This leads to the equivalence of stability with the desired definition of fairness and the maximization of those diversity objectives among the set of fair assignments. A comparative analysis also shows analytically that the mechanism that we provide has a general ability to satisfy those objectives, while in many familiar classes of scenarios the alternative ones yield segregated assignments. Finally, we analyze the incentives induced by the proposed mechanism in different market sizes and informational structures. The third chapter (co-authored with Orhan Aygün) presents an analysis of the Brazilian affirmative action initiative for access to public federal universities. In August 2012 the Brazilian federal government enacted a law mandating the prioritization of students who claim belonging to the groups of those coming from public high schools, low income families and being racial minorities to defined proportions of the seats available in federal public universities. In this problem, individuals may be part of one or more of those groups, and it is possible for students not to claim some of the privileges associated with them. This turns out to be a problem not previously studied in the literature. We show that under the choice function induced by the current guidelines, students may be better off by not claiming privileges that they are eligible to. Moreover, the resulting assignments may not be fair or satisfy the affirmative action objectives, even when there are enough students claiming low--income and minority privileges. Also, any stable mechanism that uses the current choice functions is neither incentive compatible nor fair. We propose a new choice function to be used by the universities that guarantees that a student will not be worse off by claiming an additional privilege, is fair and satisfies the affirmative action objectives whenever it is possible and there are enough applications claiming low--income and minority privileges. Next, we suggest a stable, incentive compatible and fair mechanism to create assignments for the entire system

This thesis is an exploration towards an alternative design approach for a public housing in Malaysia. It stems from a conviction that the design of public housing should be based on the lifestyles and ways of living of the people it is intended for. Since the Malaysian people are composed of three diverse cultures: Malay, Chinese, and Indian, this thesis proposes a participatory approach which allows each group to accommodate their cultural needs in the design of their dwelling places. Recognizing that public and communal activities are very much a part of the living environment, the thesis attempts to accommodate these activities into the design process. Because each of the three cultures has different ways and needs, the design of both private dwellings and public/communal spaces is based on the supports concept, which is organized around a system of frameworks. This thesis is the second part of a two part work: Part I is a research of the various types of dwellings: traditional, squatter, and public housing; to discover the important principles and elements that persist in all the dwelling types shared by Malays, Chinese and Indians. Part II is a design projection of those principles for a participatory housing project in Kuala Lumpur, involving four of the thirty families surveyed in Part I research. The design exercise includes exploring various transformation possibilities to produce a whole range of variations that satisfy the needs of the diverse Malaysian cultures. Note: Part I and Part II are documented separately into a S.M.Arch.S and M.Arch theses respectively. Each document is a complete, independent thesis, but very much interrelated. Therefore, it is recommended that they be read in sequence.

Salinity accumulation in the Lower Arkansas Basin (LAB) of Colorado threatens environmental quality, the agricultural economy and the potential for efficient reuse of water. Salinity is a threat to "hydraulic sustainability", since it will affect societal and environmental sustainability in a system heavily dependent on engineered structures for its water supply. Institutional solutions are preferable, being usually cheaper, quicker, and more reversible than infrastructure. Market institutions - water quality trading markets - have been often applied in the past to deal with salinity problems, but have been largely ineffective despite theoretical promise. Explanations for such institutional failure typically assume that stakeholders are boundedly- rational economic actors, but I review evidence that this is empirically unjustified, may be insufficiently explanatory, and precludes consideration of more innovative behavioral change solutions. Through collaborative work with basin stakeholders, I developed an agent-based model - "ArkAgent" - which simulates a water quality trading market; the water use and market interactions of basin actors; and basin hydrology. I conduct experiments to show that a simulated neoclassical market institution is less effective at reducing salinity when we make more realistic provisions for attitudinal and behavioral heterogeneity among resource users. I show that the use of post-hoc informational feedbacks as alternative non-monetary institutional incentives can address this performance issue, even in the face of conflicting economic pressures. I further demonstrate that exploiting social networks in non-economic incentive design can go even further in improving sustainability benefits. This work makes new theoretical contributions by showing how our models of institutional performance are critically dependent on behavioral assumptions; and that consequently our institutions for addressing hydraulic sustainability challenges may have incentives poorly matched to real behavioral complexity. This work also shows how an appropriately designed market institutional intervention in the LAB could achieve salinity reduction benefits over an 8 year period. Many of the model's practical insights are also relevant to large salinity-threatened basins across the western United States. The ArkAgent model provides an example of how we can use collaborative systems modeling and empirically-based behavioral assumptions to develop more robust institutions for sustainability.

A scientific paper describing the creation of the database was published in the Journal of Natural Products in 2013. NuBBEDB compounds were used as molecular source for the virtual screening with the protein tubulin. Based on the results of the virtual screening the biological evaluation of selected compounds was performed with the protein tubulin, and cell migration assays (Wound Healing and Boyden Chamber). The results of the biological assays indicated a series of guanidines and piplartine as active compounds. Piplartine was selected to be a model for the design of new compounds because it inhibited cell migration and is described in the literature as cytotoxic and selective, an interesting profile for this project. A series of 5 analogue compounds were designed and synthesized aiming at a better understanding of structure activity relationship and improvement of the biological activity.

Public parks provide essential green space for people to congregate, exercise, and respite from the city. Urban public parks in the United States began with Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux’s Central Park in the mid-1800s (Cranz & Boland, 2004). Since then, planners and designers continue to design urban parks to best serve residents. Therefore, understanding user recreation patterns and preferences is critical for urban park design. Several factors influence leisure styles, including ethnicity, that need to be considered by planners and designers. This study examines parks in South Omaha, Nebraska. Residents living in this area make up over ten different ethnic groups. Notably, Omaha’s largest Hispanic community concentration resides in South Omaha. Through quantitative and qualitative research including site analysis, a literature search, precedent studies, and community interviews, important design considerations emerged. This project presents design considerations and a conceptual redesign for two urban parks in South Omaha: Lynch Park and Spring Lake Park. The designs incorporated the leisure preferences and recreation patterns as revealed through interviews of the majority Hispanic community as well as European, Asian, and African minority ethnic groups. Precedent studies and literature research further informed redesign decisions by providing background knowledge on leisure research, design form, and demographic trends. Nevertheless, urban parks should ultimately respond to the users, regardless of cultural backgrounds, to meet the needs and requirements of all South Omaha residents.

Повний текст джерелаIn recent years, block transmission techniques were proposed and developed for broadband wireless communication systems, which have to deal with strongly frequency-selective fading channels. Techniques like Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM)and Single Carrier with Frequency Domain Equalization (SC-FDE) are able to provide high bit rates despite the channel adversities. In this thesis we concentrate on the study of single carrier block transmission techniques considering receiver structures suitable to scenarios with strongly time-dispersive channels. CP-assisted (Cycle Pre x) block transmission techniques are employed to cope with frequency selective channels, allowing cost-e ective implementations through FFT-based (Fast Fourier Transform) signal processing. It is investigated the impact of the number of multipath components as well as the diversity order on the asymptotic performance of SC-FDE schemes. We also propose a receiver structure able to perform a joint detection and channel estimation method, in which it is possible to combine the channel estimates, based on training sequences, with decision-directed channel estimates. A study about the impact of the correlation factor estimation in the performance of Iterative Block-Decision Feedback Equalizer (IB-DFE) receivers is also presented.

While a variety of factors are attributed to these changing environments, this paper focuses mainly on the epistemological domain characterising these changes. As the fundamental "business" of higher education, "knowledge" is perceived in this discussion as the essential terrain in which the competing global-local (glocal) interests and concerns unfold. Based on a case study model of two higher educational institutions with traditionally disparate academic cultures, the paper concludes with a trilogy of models posited as facilitating space for epistemological diversity.

In an indoor radio environment plagued by the severe spatial fading and temporal fading effects of multipath, diversity schemes usually required. This thesis proposes a flat diversity antenna, consisting of two cross-polarized dipole antennas selectly excited by a PIN diode at the feeding point, to reduce the fading effects in the indoor environment. Results presented here provide a comparison between measurement and simulation results of input impedance and radiation pattern. Parameters studies of the antennas are also presented. To verify the diversity effects of this antenna, measurement for propagation characteristics was made in one of NTU EE laboratories at 2.4 GHz. The diversity gain is forward to be at least 3dB at 99% signal availability.

This thesis is devoted in design of the reconfigurable planner microstrip aperture coupled quadri-polarized antenna. Nowadays, the polarization diversity is more and more attracted in communication system. It is effective to counter the fading loss caused by multi-path effects and double the channel capacities. Also, polarization diversity increases the SNR and performance of the communication systems greatly. The polarization diversity is applied in WLAN、RFID and mobile communication that prove it is very important in communication systems. Majority of the polarized antennas own dual-polarization characteristics but few polarized antennas can provide four polarization senses. In this thesis, three planar reconfigurable quadri-polarization microstrip aperture-coupled patch antennas are proposed. They can switch the different polarization scenes by controlling the pin-diodes embedded in the feeding network.
