Financialising the Frontier: Harish City
No full textHousing and settlement played a key role in the formation of an Israeli society and its territorial project. While earlier frontier settlement relied on the rural sector and on peripheral development towns, with the liberalisation and privatisation of the local economy it was incorporated in the nationwide suburbanisation process. Eventually, with the neoliberal turn, the state sought to redirect investors, entrepreneurs, developers, and families to frontier areas by creating a real estate market and thus financialising the national territorial enterprise. This paper focuses on Harish, a rapidly developing housing project on the border with the occupied Palestinian West-Bank (the Green-Line). Presenting the geopolitical and societal interests behind its development, as well as the transformations its planning processes went through, this paper shows how the state was able to financialise its frontier and to eventually domesticate its border area. Analysing the spatial characteristics of Harish, this paper explains how the built environment functioned both as the medium and outcome of the alliance between national interests and market economy, merging financial frontiers with economic ones.History, Form & Aesthetic
Inductive local-global conditions and generalised Harish-Chandra theory
No full textWe study new properties of generalised Harish-Chandra theory aiming at explaining the inductive local-global conditions for finite groups of Lie type in nondefining characteristic. In particular, we consider a parametrisation of generalised Harish-Chandra series that is compatible with Clifford theory and with the action of automorphisms on irreducible characters and we reduce it to the verification of certain requirements on stabilisers and extendibility of characters. This parametrisation is used by the author in a separate paper to obtain new conjectures for finite reductive groups that can be seen as geometric realisations of the local-global counting conjectures and their inductive conditions. As a by-product, we extend the parametrisation of generalised Harish-Chandra series given by Broué–Malle–Michel to the nonunipotent case by assuming maximal extendibility
Developing an open access croplands research database through global collaboration
No full textThis article describes the processes, challenges, and outcomes of a project undertaken by Kansas State University (K-State) Libraries and a global community of researchers. The project, initiated by
librarians in the newly created Faculty and Graduate Services Department, involved collaboration with a K-State agronomist. The
initial concept was to create an open access database of croplands research submitted by researchers from the Global Research
Alliance Croplands Research Group, a consortium of over 30 countries. Due to the project’s complexity, it was determined that a more manageable approach would be to pilot the project by including research from only the United States and Australia to resolve problems before scaling up to include all 34 countries in the GRA Croplands Research Group
A fixed point formula and Harish-Chandra's character formula
No full textThe main result in this paper is a fixed point formula for equivariant indices of elliptic differential operators, for proper actions by connected semisimple Lie groups on possibly noncompact manifolds, with compact quotients. For compact groups and manifolds, this reduces to the Atiyah-Segal-Singer fixed point formula. Other special cases include an index theorem by Connes and Moscovici for homogeneous spaces, and an earlier index theorem by the second author, both in cases where the group acting is connected and semisimple. As an application of this fixed point formula, we give a new proof of Harish-Chandra's character formula for discrete series representations.Peter Hochs and Hang Wan
Automatically extracting interaction and app data from mobile application traces
No full textIn this research, we used an existing system to collect mobile interaction traces and extract meaningful information in terms of interaction data, apps, and layout information and complexity of mobile apps. The preeminent driving force for this research was to come up with a system that is scalable and can be used to extract interactions and layouts from mobile apps, as well as enable us to make claims about the complexity of mobile apps and the flows that they offer. Throughout the course of this research, we collected Android mobile interaction traces and presented a technique which enables extraction of frequent interactive elements from the traces in an unsupervised manner using neural network auto-encoders and k-means clustering. The research work also enables us to find similar layouts across apps and make claims about the location of some of these interactive elements. This research provides a scalable data-driven approach to finding clusters of frequent icons and interactions as well as layouts.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2018-05-01The student, Abhishek Harish, accepted the attached license on 2016-04-14 at 15:22.The student, Abhishek Harish, submitted this Thesis for approval on 2016-04-14 at 15:27.This Thesis was approved for publication on 2016-04-15 at 13:54.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #9229 on 2016-07-07 at 13:49:16Made available in DSpace on 2016-07-07T20:27:21Z (GMT).

Surface-surface intersection with validated error bounds
No full textThesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Ocean Engineering; and, (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, 2005.This electronic version was submitted by the student author. The certified thesis is available in the Institute Archives and Special Collections.Includes bibliographical references (p. 97-100).This thesis presents a robust method for tracing intersection curve segments between continuous rational parametric surfaces, typically rational polynomial parametric surface patches. Using a validated ordinary differential equation (ODE) system solver based on interval arithmetic, we obtain a continuous, validated upper bound for the intersection curve segment in the parametric space of each surface. Application of the validated ODE solver in the context of eliminating the pathological phenomena of straying and looping is discussed. We develop a method to achieve a continuous gap-free boundary with a definite numerically verified upper bound for the intersection curve error in parameter space. This bound in parametric space is further mapped to an upper bound for the intersection curve error in 3D model space, denoted as model space error, which assists in defining robust boundary representation models of complex three-dimensional solids. In addition, we also discuss a method for controlling this model space error so that it takes values below a predefined threshold (tolerance). Application of the above method to various examples is further demonstrated.by Harish Mukundan.S.M
Optimizing smoothing parameters for the triple exponential forecasting model
No full textExponential smoothing has always been a popular topic of research in forecasting. The triple exponential smoothing in particular involves modeling a function that is a combination of level, trend and seasonal factors. While simulating the model, each of the factors is associated with a parameter whose value has a significant impact on the accuracy of the forecast, yet optimizing these parameters for a time series has received relatively little attention in literature. In this thesis we will explore the results of multi-step forecasting by using parameters optimized through an algorithm centered around h-step ahead errors. An empirical study conducted on forecasting the monthly time series from the M3-Competition across a range of horizons gave us promising results. We show that this method proves to be better than the standard Holt-Winters procedure for the entire forecasting horizon in five out the six categories of data considered . We also show that this method significantly improves the accuracy over the short term forecasting horizon when compared to the automated Holt-Winters procedure used by experts in the M3 competition. Encouraged by these results, we recommend replicating this methodology to other models of the triple exponential smoothing in the future.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2018-05-01The student, Harish Narasingaraj, accepted the attached license on 2016-04-26 at 10:50.The student, Harish Narasingaraj, submitted this Thesis for approval on 2016-04-26 at 10:58.This Thesis was approved for publication on 2016-04-26 at 14:05.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #9501 on 2016-07-07 at 13:50:56Made available in DSpace on 2016-07-07T20:35:18Z (GMT).

Job motivation in high-tech knowledge work- the unintended detrimental role of management
No full textTitle: Job motivation in high-tech knowledge work- the unintended detrimental role of management Seminar Date: 4th June 2015 Course: FEKH49 Author: Chaitra Harish Bhat Supervisor: Sverre Spoelstra Key Words: Knowledge Worker, Intrinsic Motivation, Extrinsic Motivation, Priority Task, Recognition. Purpose: The purpose of this research is to critically examine the role of intrinsic motivation in knowledge work. It intends to investigate the managerial attempt to motivate knowledge workers and examines the role of the management from the knowledge workers’ perspective. Methodology: This research has taken the interpretive viewpoint. It is a qualitative study with an abductive approach. Eight semi-structured interviews have been conducted and analyzed. Theoretical Perspectives: The theoretical framework is focused mainly on the intrinsic and extrinsic motivation in the context of knowledge work. The knowledge worker’s work ambiguity is presented. And the equity theory of motivation is and analyzed as to how it affects motivation in knowledge work. Empirical foundation: The empirical foundation of this research consists of eight semi-structured interviews conducted in a knowledge intensive firm, Motiv AB. Conclusion: This research shows that even though intrinsic motivation is important, the role of extrinsic motivation is also found to be vital in knowledge workers. In this context, the role of the management can also be detrimental at times (though unintentional) in affecting the knowledge worker motivation
