TESS Experiments: International Law, (Non)Compliance, and Domestic Audience Costs
Creators: name: Wallace, Geoffrey
Publisher: name: Roper Center for Public Opinion Research
Year: 2022

description: Time-sharing Experiments for the Social Sciences (TESS) offers researchers the opportunity to capture the internal validity of experiments. Investigators submit proposals, and TESS fields successful proposals for free on a representative sample of adults in the United States. This experiment was conducted to investigate whether a foreign country’s compliance decisions with international commitments produced significant reputational consequences amongst public opinion of their own citizens. The total 2,007 respondents were randomly assigned to 8 treatments that varied across two dimensions: whether the President decided to respond with military force (force or no force) and the obligation of the U.S. to respond ((1) President has made no commitment to respond (control), (2) President has made a verbal commitment to respond, (3) U.S. previously took part in an international meeting that created guidelines recommending that the U.S. military would take actions against the invaders (soft law), or (4) a formal treaty obligates the U.S. to respond). Finally, respondents were asked to answer questions about their approval of the way the President handled the situation and whether they believed other countries would find future promises and threats credible. This allowed for evaluation of the potential costs of reneging different types of commitments as well as the potential benefits of following through on prior promises.

description: Basic atmospheric properties such as albedo and heat redistribution between day and nightside have been inferred for a number of planets using observations of secondary eclipses and thermal phase curves. Optical phase curves have not yet been used to constrain these atmospheric properties consistently. We re-model previously published phase curves of CoRoT-1b, TrES-2b and HAT-P-7b and infer albedos and recirculation efficiencies. These are then compared to previous estimates based on secondary eclipse data. We use a physically consistent model to construct optical phase curves. This model takes Lambertian reflection, thermal emission, ellipsoidal variations and Doppler boosting into account. CoRoT-1b shows a non-negligible scattering albedo (0.11

description: We consider spherically symmetric space-times in GR under the unconventional assumptions that the spherical radius $r$ is either a constant or has a null gradient in the $(t,x)$ subspace orthogonal to the symmetry spheres (i.e., $(\partial r)^2 = 0$). It is shown that solutions to the Einstein equations with $r = \rm const$ contain an extra (fourth) spatial or temporal Killing vector and thus satisfy the Birkhoff theorem under an additional physically motivated condition that the lateral pressure is functionally related to the energy density. This leads to solutions that directly generalize the Bertotti-Robinson, Nariai and Plebanski-Hacyan solutions. Under similar conditions, solutions with $(\partial r)^2 = 0$ but $r\ne\rm const$, supported by an anisotropic fluid, contain a null Killing vector, which again indicates a Birkhoff-like behavior of the system. Similar space-times supported by pure radiation (in particular, a massless radiative scalar field) contain a null Killing vector without additional assumptions, which leads to one more extension of the Birkhoff theorem. Exact radial wave solutions have been found (i) with an anisotropic fluid and (ii) with a gas of radially directed cosmic strings (or a "string cloud") combined with pure radiation. Furthermore, it is shown that a perfect fluid with isotropic pressure and a massive or self-interacting scalar field cannot be sources of gravitational fields with a null but nonzero gradient of $r$.

description: The short-lived $^{26}$Al and $^{60}$Fe radionuclides are synthesized and expelled in the interstellar medium by core-collapse supernova events. The solar system's first solids, calcium-aluminium refractory inclusions (CAIs), contain evidence for the former presence of the $^{26}$ Al nuclide defining the canonical $^{26}$Al/$^{27}$ Al ratio of $\sim5 \times10^{-5}$. A different class of objects temporally related to canonical CAIs are CAIs with fractionation and unidentified nuclear effects (FUN CAIs), which record a low initial $^{26}$Al/$^{27}$Al of $10^{-6}$. The contrasting level of $^{26}$Al between these objects is often interpreted as reflecting the admixing of the $^{26}$Al nuclide during the early formative phase of the Sun. We use giant molecular cloud (GMC) scale adaptive mesh-refinement numerical simulations to trace the abundance of $^{26}$Al and $^{60}$Fe in star-forming gas during the early stages of accretion of individual low mass protostars. We find that the $^{26}$Al/$^{27}$Al and $^{60}$Fe/$^{56}$Fe ratios of accreting gas within a vicinity of 1000 AU of the stars follow the predicted decay curves of the initial abundances at time of star formation without evidence of spatial or temporal heterogeneities for the first 100 kyr of star formation. Therefore, the observed differences in $^{26}$Al/$^{27}$Al ratios between FUN and canonical CAIs are likely not caused by admixing of supernova material during the early evolution of the proto-Sun. Selective thermal processing of dust grains is a more viable scenario to account for the heterogeneity in $^{26}$Al/$^{27}$Al ratios at the time of solar system formation.

Drops with non-circular footprints

description: In this paper we study the morphology of drops formed on partially wetting substrates, whose footprint is not circular. This type of drops is a consequence of the breakup processes occurring in thin films when anisotropic contact line motions take place. The anisotropy is basically due to hysteresis effects of the contact angle since some parts of the contact line are wetting, while others are dewetting. Here, we obtain a peculiar drop shape from the rupture of a long liquid filament sitting on a solid substrate, and analyze its shape and contact angles by means of goniometric and refractive techniques. We also find a non--trivial steady state solution for the drop shape within the long wave approximation (lubrication theory), and compare most of its features with experimental data. This solution is presented both in Cartesian and polar coordinates, whose constants must be determined by a certain group of measured parameters. Besides, we obtain the dynamics of the drop generation from numerical simulations of the full Navier--Stokes equation, where we emulate the hysteretic effects with an appropriate spatial distribution of the static contact angle over the substrate.

description: The memory function formalism is an important tool to evaluate the frequency dependent electronic conductivity. It is previously used within some approximations in the case of electrons interacting with various other degrees of freedom in metals with great success. However, one needs to go beyond those approximations as the interaction strengths become stronger. In this work, we propose a systematic expansion of the memory function involving its various moments. We calculate the higher order contribution to the generalized Drude scattering rate in case of electron-impurity interactions. Further we compare our results with the results from previously studied lowest order calculations. We find larger contributions from the higher moments in the low frequency regime and also in the case of larger interaction strength.

description: Systematic validation is an essential part of algorithm development. The enormous dataset sizes and the complexity observed in many recent time-resolved 3D fluorescence microscopy imaging experiments, however, prohibit a comprehensive manual ground truth generation. Moreover, existing simulated benchmarks in this field are often too simple or too specialized to sufficiently validate the observed image analysis problems. We present a new semi-synthetic approach to generate realistic 3D+t benchmarks that combines challenging cellular movement dynamics of real embryos with simulated fluorescent nuclei and artificial image distortions including various parametrizable options like cell numbers, acquisition deficiencies or multiview simulations. We successfully applied the approach to simulate the development of a zebrafish embryo with thousands of cells over 14 hours of its early existence.

description: Consumer spending accounts for a large fraction of the US economic activity. Increasingly, consumer activity is moving to the web, where digital traces of shopping and purchases provide valuable data about consumer behavior. We analyze these data extracted from emails and combine them with demographic information to characterize, model, and predict consumer behavior. Breaking down purchasing by age and gender, we find that the amount of money spent on online purchases grows sharply with age, peaking in late 30s. Men are more frequent online purchasers and spend more money when compared to women. Linking online shopping to income, we find that shoppers from more affluent areas purchase more expensive items and buy them more frequently, resulting in significantly more money spent on online purchases. We also look at dynamics of purchasing behavior and observe daily and weekly cycles in purchasing behavior, similarly to other online activities. More specifically, we observe temporal patterns in purchasing behavior suggesting shoppers have finite budgets: the more expensive an item, the longer the shopper waits since the last purchase to buy it. We also observe that shoppers who email each other purchase more similar items than socially unconnected shoppers, and this effect is particularly evident among women. Finally, we build a model to predict when shoppers will make a purchase and how much will spend on it. We find that temporal features improve prediction accuracy over competitive baselines. A better understanding of consumer behavior can help improve marketing efforts and make online shopping more pleasant and efficient.

A New Approach to the Control of Polymer Composition in Emulsion Copolymerisation
Creators: name: Khan, Mohamed Bashair
Publisher: name: London South Bank University
Year: 1971

description: Henry's law and its application to the precise control of the emulsion copolymerisation of certain chosen monomers was investigated at 50°C and 75°C. The solubility, solubilisation and vapour pressure relationships of seven monomers namely vinyl chloride (VC), vinyl acetate (VAC), acrylonitrile (AN), vinylidene chloride (VDC), butadiene 1,3 (Buta ay; ethylene (E) and propylene (Pr), were investigated in water and Anne solutions of sodium dodecyl sulphate (sps) and aqueous sodium oleate (for propylene only). A combined pressure differential method (mercury manometer) and gas chromatographic technique was used in this study. Co-solubilisation studies were also carried out on predetermined monomer pairs. Evidence was obtained to show that a solubilised monomer could act as a co-solvent for the other monomer in any comonomer pair chosen. This co-solvent effect was greater with some monomers e.g. acrylonitrile and vinyl acetate, than others e.g. vinyl chloride and vinylidene chloride. Co-solubilisation investigations were. also carried out on copolymer latices of varying solids content. For the comonomer pairs studied, the cosolubilisation effect was marginally greater in the latices than in the corresponding soap solutions. Over the surfactant concentration range examined, Henry's law was obeyed by all the monomers. For the more soluble monomers, namely acrylonitrile and vinyl acetate, deviations from Henry’s law occurred at relatively low pressures. For the less soluble monomers e.g. ethylene and vinylidene chloride, a linear relationship (between vapour pressure and amount of monomer solubilised) was obtained above atmospheric pressure. Henry's constants (obtained experimentally) and monomer reactivity ratios (published values) were necessary prerequisites for the calculation of a particular initial comonomer charge ratio for a given pair of monomers to be copolymerised. This was not a unique ratio but varied with other parameters chiefly the volume ratio of the head-space of the reactor to the liquid medium (see figure 5.2.3). Using non-conventional copolymerisation conditions i.e. total absence of monomer globules in the aqueous reaction medium copolymers of a pre-determined homogeneous composition were obtained.: This was only possible by maintaining and monitoring the comonomer feed charge such that the amounts of comonomers at the reaction sites were precisely known and conditions were simulated such that Henry's law prevailed throughout the copolymerisation process. Diffusional problems were overcome by maintaining a high rate of agitation, Despite the "starvation" conditions of copolymerisation, latices of a relatively high solids content were obtained (30% - 40%) over the period of polymerisation studied (10-14 ½ hours). Copolymers of a homogeneous chemical composition were obtained thus confirming that Markevich's (164) copolymerisation theory for solution systems applies to emulsion copolymerisation.

The Impact of Somali Nationalism on the Amhara-Somali Ethnic Interaction in Jigjiga Town and its Surroundings (1940s – 1990s)
Creators: name: Girma, Zerihun

description: The Amhara settled in Jigjiga and its surroundings following Emperor Minîlik’s imperial expansion to Ogaden in the 1880s. This resulted in the creation of garrisons and settlements in Ogaden. The Amhara were governors, soldiers and their followers who settled in the Somali land during the reigns of Emperor Minîlik and Emperor Haile Sillassie. The aim of this paper is to discuss the impact of Somali nationalism on the Amhara-Somali ethnic interaction in Jigjiga town and its surroundings from 1940s to 1990s. The study solely relied on qualitative data that were gathered through in-depth interviews and desk reviews. The gathered data were carefully analyzed and interpreted after they were crosschecked and classified into themes. The findings of the study indicate that there had been historical contradictions and resultant frequent violent and non-violent conflicts between the Amhara settlers (the political majority) and the Somali (the host community who were the political minority). The Somali identified the Amhara as representing alien rule that was imposed on them just to exploit and oppress them, while the Amhara developed contempt for the native Somali, being obsessed by the stiff resistances they posed against them and the imperial rule. The contradiction and dissension between the two groups had been in the making since the arrival of Minîlik’s conquering army in the Somali area but organized violent skirmishes and conventional wars began to take place since the 1940s due to the internal and external political factors; especially the Somali nationalism.

description: Radio pulsar B1933+16 is brightest core-radiation dominated pulsar in the Arecibo sky, and here we carry out a comprehensive high resolution polarimetric study of its radiation at both 1.5 and 4.6 GHz. At 1.5 GHz, the polarization is largely compatible with a rotating-vector model with $α$ and $β$ values of 125 and --1.2$^{\circ}$, such that the core and conal regions can be identified with the primary and secondary polarization modes and plausibly with the extraordinary and ordinary propagation modes. Polarization modal segregation of profiles shows that the core is comprised of two parts which we associate with later X-mode and earlier O-mode emission. Analysis of the broad microstructures under the core shows that they have similar timescales to those of the largely conal radiation of other pulsars studied earlier. Aberration/retardation analysis was here possible for both the conal and core radiation and showed average physical emission heights of about 200 km for each. Comparison with other core-cone pulsars suggests that the core and conal emission arises from similar heights. Assuming the inner vacuum gap model, we note that at these emission altitudes the frequency of the observed radiation $ν_{obs}$ is less than the plasma frequency $ν_p$. We then conclude that the radio emission properties are consistent with the theory of coherent curvature radiation by charged solitons where the condition $ν_{obs} < ν_{p}$ is satisfied. However, the differences that exist between core and conal emission in their geometric locations within a pulse, polarization and modulation properties are yet to be understood.

description: Quantum phases of electrons in the filling factor range $2 \leqν\leq 3$ are probed by the weak optical emission from the partially populated second Landau level and spin wave measurements. Observations of optical emission include a multiplet of sharp peaks that exhibit a strong filling factor dependence. Spin wave measurements by resonant inelastic light scattering probe breaking of spin rotational invariance and are used to link this optical emission with collective phases of electrons. A remarkably rapid interplay between emission peak intensities manifests phase competition in the second Landau level.

Warp evidences in precessing galactic bar models

description: Most galaxies have a warped shape when they are seen from an edge-on point of view. The reason for this curious form is not completely known so far and in this work we apply dynamical system tools to contribute to its explanation. Starting from a simple, but realistic, model formed by a bar and a disc, we study the effect produced by a small misalignment between the angular momentum of the system and its angular velocity. To this end, a precession model is developed and considered, assuming that the bar behaves like a rigid body. After checking that the periodic orbits inside the bar keep being the skeleton of the inner system, even after inflicting a precession to the potential, we compute the invariant manifolds of the unstable periodic orbits departing from the equilibrium points at the ends of the bar to get evidences of their warped shapes. As it is well known, the invariant manifolds associated with these periodic orbits drive the arms and rings of barred galaxies and constitute the skeleton of these building blocks. Looking at them from a side-on viewpoint, we find that these manifolds present warped shapes as those recognized in observations. Lastly, test particle simulations have been performed to determine how the stars are affected by the applied precession, confirming this way the theoretical results obtained.

The Need for Establishing Oromo National Civic Institutions: The Cases of Global Gumii Oromia and Oromia Global Forum
Creators: name: Jalata, Asafa
Publisher: name: East African Journal of Social Sciences and Humanities
Year: 2020

description: The lack of institutional or organizational capacity exposes a society to abuse, oppression, and exploitation or even extermination by a better-organized entity or society. Today, the Oromo is one of such societies. The precolonial institutions of the Oromo people were dismantled by Ethiopian colonialism and its political structures, which eroded their norms and democratic traditions. Consequently, there have been political fragmentation and uneven development of Oromo nationalism (national Oromummaa) that undermined the development of Oromo national institutional or organizational capacity. Empowering the Oromo people to safeguard the gains achieved so far through huge sacrifice and to continue the national struggle for human dignity and freedom require national organizational capacity building urgently. The building of independent and strong national civic institutions puts the Oromo cultural and political gains on firmer grounds and facilitates the struggle for sovereignty and egalitarian democracy. The efforts to achieve Oromia national self-determination and the building of a democratic society require the restoration of the best elements of gadaa/siiqqee (Oromo democratic) principles and the restoration and sharpening of the indigenous Oromo knowledge. The difficult journey toward genuine democracy necessitates also the existence of strong national political organizations with sophisticated knowledge of democratic principles. Furthermore, the development of strong Oromo social movements is necessary to support such national political organizations to defeat the political and ideological hegemony of the Ethiopian colonial state. The paper uses the examples of Global Gumii Oromia (GGO) and Oromia Global Forum (OGF), which are Oromo national civic organizations formed by Oromo intellectuals, professionals, and Oromo from all walks of life residing in North America, Australia, and Europe, to empower Oromo society in order to solve its cultural, political, economic, and social problems. The GGO and OGF were formed to experiment with the strategy of building Oromia national civic institutions, which were modelled after the Gumii Gayyoo of the Borana Oromo. In this paper, I combine a structural approach with a social constructionist model of human agency. Specifically, I employ interdisciplinary, multidimensional, and critical approaches to examine the dynamic interplay among Oromo social structures, human agency, and social/national movements.

description: We demonstrate, experimentally and theoretically, a Talbot effect for hybrid light-matter waves -- exciton-polariton condensate formed in a semiconductor microcavity with embedded quantum wells. The characteristic 'Talbot carpet' is produced by loading the exciton-polariton condensate into a microstructured one dimensional periodic array of mesa traps, which creates an array of sources for coherent polariton flow in the plane of the quantum wells. The spatial distribution of the Talbot fringes outside the mesas mimics the near-field diffraction of a monochromatic wave on a periodic amplitude and phase grating with the grating period comparable to the wavelength. Despite the lossy nature of the polariton system, the Talbot pattern persists for distances exceeding the size of the mesas by an order of magnitude.

Pressure-Driven Quantum Criticality and T/H Scaling in the Icosahedral Au-Al-Yb Approximant

description: We report on ac magnetic susceptibility measurements under pressure of the Au-Al-Yb alloy, a crystalline approximant to the icosahedral quasicrystal that shows unconventional quantum criticality. In describing the susceptibility as $χ(T)^{-1} - χ(0)^{-1} \propto T^γ$, we find that $χ(0)^{-1}$ decreases with increasing pressure and vanishes to zero at the critical pressure $P_{\rm c} \simeq 2$ GPa, with $γ~ (\simeq 0.5)$ unchanged. We suggest that this quantum criticality emerges owing to critical valence fluctuations. Above $P_{\rm c}$, the approximant undergoes a magnetic transition at $T \simeq 100$ mK. These results are contrasted with the fact that, in the quasicrystal, the quantum criticality is robust against the application of pressure. The applicability of the so-called $T/H$ scaling to the approximant is also discussed.

Westerners’ Perceptions of Africa vis-à-vis Africa’s Urbanization Process: Is Africa Really a Dark Continent Devoid of History as Portrayed by the Westerners?
Creators: name: Imana, Gutema

description: This paper aims to evaluate the Westerners’ conceptions or perceptions of Africa by reviewing historical sources in the area of world urbanization in general and Africa in particular. Africa has been portrayed by many in the western world as a dark continent devoid of history and anything good. Africa has been considered as a dark continent devoid of all elements of civilization - statehood, urbanization, and advances in social and economic spheres. In this paper, therefore, an attempt is made to look at the urbanization process of the world in general and Africa, in particular, to see whether or not Africans have had their course of urban history and civilization contrary to the perceptions held by many Westerners against Africa. The study employed a qualitative secondary research method that involved the collection and review of historical data that were produced on the urbanization process of the world in general and Africa in particular. Results indicate that Africa, contrary to the Westerners‟ perceptions, had its independent urban history and civilization. Indeed, Africa’s achievements in history are not limited to urbanization as Africa had also registered significant breakthroughs in the area of technology, creative arts, agricultural techniques, governance, gender equality, conflict resolution systems, etc. though this paper is limited only to Africa’s achievements in the area of urbanization.
