An Analytical Framework For Soft And Hard Data Fusion: A Dempster-Shafer Belief Theoretic Approach, Thanuka L. Wickramarathne

Open Access Dissertations

The recent experiences of asymmetric urban military operations have highlighted the pressing need for incorporation of soft data, such as informant statements, into the fusion process. Soft data are fundamentally different from hard data (generated by physics-based sensors), in the sense that the information they provide tends to be qualitative and subject to interpretation. These characteristics pose a major obstacle to using existing multi-sensor data fusion frameworks, which are quite well established for hard data. Given the critical and sensitive nature of intended applications, soft/hard data fusion requires a framework that allows for convenient representation of various data uncertainties common …

The Feminization Of Hiv/Aids In The Republic Of South Africa: Examining The Influence Of Socio-Economic, Political And Cultural Determinants, Wanda Denise Jackson

Open Access Dissertations

Worldwide few communities have escaped AIDS’ reach. However, epidemiological surveys reveal a significant regional variation in HIV/AIDS incidence and prevalence rates (UNAIDS, 2004). South Africa, which possesses one of the highest prevalence rates in the world, is located at the apex of the AIDS pandemic (UNAIDS, 2004). Furthermore, although both men and women are vulnerable in contracting HIV, women are disproportionately infected with the virus. While the lives lost to HIV/AIDS are lamentable for both sexes, this author maintains that the feminization of HIV/AIDS in South Africa presents deleterious consequences for the fiduciary and physical and mental health of the …

Blogging the Library

I guess I assumed the most work was always put in BEFORE an exhibit went up (planning, researching, etc.), but I’ve realized now that it takes the same amount of time and effort to make an exhibit look good for the public as it does to plan it. Maybe it’s because I’m both an artist and a perfectionist, but it took me at least a good hour on each exhibit before I was satisfied with the results. [excerpt]

Confronting A Solar Irradiance Reconstruction With Solar And Stellar Data, Philip G. Judge, G. Wesley Lockwood, Richard R. Radick, Gregory W. Henry, Alexander I. Shapiro, Werner Schmutz, Charles Lindsey

Information Systems and Engineering Management Research Publications

Context. A recent paper by Shapiro and colleagues (2011, A&A, 529, A67) reconstructs spectral and total irradiance variations of the Sun during the holocene.

Aims. In this note, we comment on why their methodology leads to large (0.5%) variations in the solar TSI on century-long time scales, in stark contrast to other reconstructions which have ≲ 0.1% variations.

Methods. We examine the amplitude of the irradiance variations from the point of view of both solar and stellar data.

Results. Shapiro et al.’s large amplitudes arise from differences between the irradiances computed from models A and C of Fontenla and colleagues, …

On Sharing The Benefits Of Communication, Efthymios Athanasiou, Santanu Dey, Giacomo Valletta

Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei Working Papers

We put forward a model of private goods with externalities. Agents derive benefit from communicating with each other. In order to communicate they need to have a language in common. Learning languages is costly. In this setting no individually rational and feasible Groves mechanism exists. We characterize the best-in-class feasible Groves mechanism and the best-in-class individually rational Groves mechanism.
