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).

Opening the low frequency window to the high redshift Universe
No full textThe epoch of formation of the first luminous structures (stars and galaxies) called the Comic Dawn, is one of the last unexplored periods in the history of the Universe. A new generation of radio telescopes such as LOFAR aim to revolutionize our understanding of structure formation in the early Universe by directly observing the 21-cm line of hydrogen from this epoch. Due to cosmic expansion, this 21-cm signal reaches us at low radio frequencies (50 to 200 MHz). Properly accounting for and correcting the effects of propagation through an atmospheric layer called the ionosphere is an important outstanding challenge in low frequency observations. In this thesis, I develop a mathematical framework to study ionospheric scintillation (akin to stellar twinkling) and compute its effects on radio observations of the early Universe. I find that although formidable, ionospheric corruptions do not pose a fundamental limit to achieve a detection of the 21-cm signal from the early Universe. In addition, I also demonstrate a new observational technique that uses the Moon as a temperature reference to accurately measure the spectrum of the radio sky. While this technique may in future lead to a detection of the sky-averaged 21-cm signal from the cosmic dawn, I touch upon its potential in the near future to determine lunar crustal composition and temperature at unprecedented depths
