Item Open Access Conflicts in mangrove protected areas through the actor-centred power framework - Insights from China(Forest Policy and Economics, 2024-01) Wang, W; Zhai, D; Li, X; Fang, H; Yang, YItem Open Access Functional test-sequence grading at register-transfer level(IEEE Transactions on Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) Systems, 2012-01-01) Fang, H; Chakrabarty, K; Jas, A; Patil, S; Tirumurti, CWe propose output deviations as a surrogate metric to grade functional test sequences at the register-transfer level without explicit fault simulation. Experimental results for the open-source Biquad filter core and the Scheduler module of the Illinois Verilog Model show that the deviations metric is computationally efficient and it correlates well with gate-level coverage for stuck-at, transition-delay and bridging faults. Results also show that functional test sequences reordered based on output deviations provide steeper gate-level fault coverage ramp-up compared to other ordering methods. © 2011 IEEE.Item Open Access Separate when equal? Racial inequality and residential segregation(Journal of Urban Economics, 2014-01-01) Bayer, P; Fang, H; McMillan, RThis paper sets out a new mechanism, involving the emergence of middle-class black neighborhoods, that can lead segregation in American cities to increase as racial inequality narrows. The formation of such neighborhoods requires a critical mass of highly educated blacks in the population and leads to an increase in segregation when those communities are attractive for blacks who otherwise would reside in middle-class white neighborhoods. To assess the empirical importance of this "neighborhood formation" mechanism, we propose a two-part research design. First, inequality and segregation should be negatively related in cross section for older blacks if our mechanism operates strongly, as we find using both the 1990 and 2000 Censuses. Second, a negative relationship should also be apparent over time, particularly for older blacks. Here, we show that increased educational attainment of blacks relative to whites in a city between 1990 and 2000 leads to a significant rise in segregation, especially for older blacks, and to a marked increase in the number of middle-class black communities. These findings draw attention to a negative feedback loop between racial inequality and segregation that has implications for the dynamics of both phenomena. © 2014 Elsevier Inc.
