description: The growing number of stellar-mass binary black hole mergers discovered by Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo are starting to constrain the binaries' origin and environment. However, we still lack sufficiently accurate modeling of binary formation channels to obtain strong constraints, or to identify sub-populations. One promising formation mechanism that could result in different black hole properties is binaries merging within the accretion disks of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN). Here we show that the black holes' orbital alignment with the AGN disks preferentially selects heavier black holes. We carry out Monte Carlo simulations of orbital alignment with AGN disks, and find that AGNs harden the initial black hole mass function. Assuming an initial power law mass distribution $M_{\rm bh}^{-β}$, we find that the power law index changes by $Δβ\sim1.3$, resulting in a more top-heavy population of merging black holes. This change is independent of the mass of, and accretion rate onto, the supermassive black hole in the center of the AGN. Our simulations predict an AGN-assisted merger rate of $\sim4$Gpc$^{-3}$yr$^{-1}$. With its hardened mass spectra, the AGN channel could be responsible for $10-50$% of gravitational-wave detections.

description: Human mobility studies have become increasingly important and diverse in the past decade with the support of social media big data that enables human mobility to be measured in a harmonized and rapid manner. However, what is less explored in the current scholarship is episodic mobility as a special type of human mobility defined as the abnormal mobility triggered by episodic events excess to the normal range of mobility at large. Drawing on a large-scale systematic collection of 1.9 billion geotagged Twitter data from 2017 to 2020, this study contributes to the first empirical study of episodic mobility by producing a daily Twitter census of visitors at the U.S. county level and proposing multiple statistical approaches to identify and quantify episodic mobility. It is followed by four case studies of episodic mobility in U.S. national wide to showcase the great potential of Twitter data and our proposed method to detect episodic mobility subject to episodic events that occur both regularly and sporadically. This study provides new insights on episodic mobility in terms of its conceptual and methodological framework and empirical knowledge, which enriches the current mobility research paradigm.
On Determining the Topology of the Observable Universe via 3-D Quasar Positions

description: Hot big bang cosmology says nothing about the topology of the Universe. A topology-independent algorithm is presented which is complementary to that of Lehoucq et al. 1996 and which searches for evidence of multi-connectedness using catalogues of astrophysically observed objects. The basis of this algorithm is simply to search for a quintuplet of quasars (over a region of a few hundred comoving Mpc) which can be seen in two different parts of our past time cone, allowing for a translation, an arbitrary rotation and possibly a reflection. This algorithm is demonstrated by application to the distribution of quasars between redshifts of $z=1$ and $z\approx4,$ i.e., at a comoving distance from the observer $1700 h^{-1}\mbox{\rm Mpc} \ltapprox d \ltapprox 3300 h^{-1}\mbox{\rm Mpc}.$ Two pairs of isometric quintuplets separated by more than {$300$\hMpc} are found. This is consistent with the number expected from Monte Carlo simulations in a simply connected Universe if the detailed anisotropy of sky coverage by the individual quasar surveys is taken into account. The linear transformation in (flat) comoving space from one quintuplet to another requires translations of {$353$\hMpc} and {4922\hMpc} respectively, plus a reflection in the former case, and plus both a rotation and a reflection in the latter. Since reflections are required, if these two matches were due to multi-connectedness, then the Universe would be non-orientable.

Year: 2024

description: This master’s paper seeks to analyze the Soviet bibliographic classification system, Bibliotechno-Bibliograficheskaya Klassifikatsiya (BBK) through the lens of Soviet imperialist policy and practice. How did the design and ideological foundations of BBK support the ideologies and narratives that supported the Soviet imperialist project? How did BBK reflect the importance of categorization and classification of “nations”, an essential foundation of Soviet imperialist policy? The author will analyze one of the main classes of BBK, “History and Historical Sciences” to answer these questions and highlight the power of classification systems to perpetuate violent geopolitical structures. This study will highlight a previously unexamined intersection of Soviet history and the study of classification and knowledge representation.

Uppark revealed: A reinterpretation of the history of the house and gardens in the light of evidence revealed during restoration in 1989-94 following damage by fire
Creators: name: Aldsworth, Fred

description: The fire which swept through Uppark in Harting, West Sussex, in August 1989 and the subsequent five-year restoration exposed much of the fabric of the house previously hidden by decorative plasterwork, panelling, and floor and wall coverings. The fabric and the debris provided much new evidence for the house's original form and decoration, and for changes made to it during its life. Minor ground disturbances around the house, for example for temporary buildings and services, led to the discovery of evidence for the development of the gardens.This new archaeological evidence is presented here along with recently identified documentary evidence. Together they offer a revised and more detailed account of the history of the house and its gardens than has previously been available.Although the house and gardens were first built in c. 1690 (Period 1), the precise dates for their construction and the name of the architect responsible are not known. The property was described as 'a new built' by Celia Fiennes visiting in the second half of 1695, but dates as early as 1685 have been suggested for its construction for Ford Grey, Baron Grey of Warke, created Earl of Tankerville in June 1695. Although the house is often attributed to William Talman (1650-1720), with George London (c. 1640-1714) perhaps employed to design the gardens, the distinguished architect Hugh May (1621-84), who lived locally at Lavant, may have had a hand in its design.The house was refurbished and the gardens were redesigned just a few years later, c. 1700-30 (Period 1a), with new outbuildings by the London builder John Jenner in 1723-5. They were extended and altered again on two further occasions, after purchase by Sir Matthew Fetherstonhaugh, between 1747 and 1774 probably to designs by Daniel Garrett (d. 1753) and Henry Keene (1726-76) (Period 2), and then by Sir Harry Fetherstonhaugh in 1811-17, to designs by Humphry Repton (1752-1818) (Period 3).The picture that emerges is one of continuing change to meet the aspirations of successive owners or to accommodate visits by fashionable visitors, not least George, Prince of Wales between 1784 and 1804.

description: An extensive Fisheries Compensation Program has been undertaken at the Kemess Mine, located 10 kilometres east of Thutade Lake, in the northern Omineca Mountains of north central British Columbia. The minesite and study area are approximately 250 km north of Smithers, B.C. Annual fisheries monitoring programs were conducted during the predevelopment, construction and operation phases of the project and were critical in forming the basis of the compensation programs and later evaluation of program success. The fisheries compensation programs have achieved success in all aspects of the compensation. This paper will provide an overview of the efforts undertaken to accomplish the Compensation Programs, outline the challenges presented by the programs, and review their successes.

description: By considering generalized synchronizable chaotic systems, the drive-auxiliary system variables are combined suitably using encryption key functions to obtain a compound chaotic signal. An appropriate feedback loop is constructed in the response-auxiliary system to achieve synchronization among the variables of the drive-auxiliary and response-auxiliary systems. We apply this approach to transmit analog and digital information signals in which the quality of the recovered signal is higher and the encoding is more secure.

description: Seismic observations show a reduced compressional-wave gradient at the base of the outer core relative to the preliminary reference Earth model and seismic wave asymmetry between the east-west hemispheres at the top of the inner core. Here, we propose a model for the inner core boundary (ICB), where a slurry layer forms through fractional crystallization of an Fe alloy at the base of the outer core (F layer) above a compacting cumulate pile at the top of the inner core (F' layer). Using recent mineral physics data, we show that fractional crystallization of an Fe alloy (e.g., Fe-Si-O) with light element partitioning can explain the observed reduced velocity gradient in the F layer, in cases with a solid fraction of ~15(5)% in liquid with a compositional gradient due to preferential light element partitioning into liquid. The compacting cumulate pile in the F' layer may exhibit lateral variations in thickness between the east-west hemispheres due to lateral variations of large-scale heat flow in the outer core, which may explain the east-west asymmetry observed in the seismic velocity. Our interpretations suggest that the inner core with solid Fe alloy has a high shear viscosity of ~10^23 Pa s.

Measurements of Electron Antineutrino Disappearance in the Double Chooz Experiment
Creators: Carr, Rachel Erin
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2015
Subjects: Particles (Nuclear physics)

description: This thesis presents complementary measurements of the neutrino oscillation parameter sin²2θ₁₃ made by observing the electron antineutrino flux from two nuclear reactors in Chooz, France. Antineutrinos are identified through both products of the inverse beta decay interaction, bar νₑ + p → e⁺ + n, in a high-precision liquid scintillator detector located approximately 1 km from the reactors. The most sensitive signal channel involves neutron captures by a gadolinium dopant, while a search for neutron captures on hydrogen provides a high-statistics validation. In both channels, the value of sin²2θ₁₃ is revealed by an energy- and reactor power-dependent deficit of antineutrino-like events, compared to a reactor simulation. All analyses produce results consistent with one another and with findings of other experiments. These datasets also expose features of the antineutrino spectrum not predicted in reactor flux models. Data from the newly inaugurated near detector, anticipated in the final part of this thesis, holds unique potential to clarify these features, pursue signals from sterile neutrinos, and contribute to global knowledge of three-neutrino mixing.

description: Purpose: The field of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) intervention research is in need of treatment response measures that are sensitive to change and flexible enough to be used across studies. The Brief Observation of Social Communication Change (BOSCC) was developed to address this need. The purpose of this work is to examine the initial reliability and validity of the BOSCC in two samples of children with ASD.
      Method: In a sample of 56 children participating in ongoing early intervention, the primary objectives of Study 1 were to 1) determine items for inclusion in the BOSCC coding scheme, 2) explore the relationships among items using factor analysis, 3) assess inter-rater and test-retest reliability, and 4) explore change over time. Using a sample of school-age, minimally-verbal children, the primary objectives of Study 2 were to extend the results of Study 1 to a new sample to 1) assess BOSCC changes over time, 2) compare changes in BOSCC to clinician determinations of improvement, 3) examine the relationship between change in BOSCC scores with changes in baseline cognitive skills, adaptive functioning, and ASD severity, and 4) compare changes in BOSCC scores in children who did and did not change on other standard measures.
      Results: Study 1 revealed that the BOSCC has high to excellent inter-rater and test-retest reliability and shows convergent validity with measures of language and communication skills. The BOSCC Core total demonstrated statistically significant amounts of change over time while the ADOS Calibrated Severity Score over the same period did not. Results of Study 2 confirmed excellent inter-rater reliability but the BOSCC did not change significantly over time. Most children were identified by clinicians as improving in response to treatment. However, only 15% of children changed significantly on the BOSCC over 16 weeks of intervention.
      Limitations: Both studies had small samples of predominantly male, Caucasian children. When interpreting the results of these studies, it is important to consider the differences between samples, including the shorter time of treatment and more cognitively and language impaired children in Study 2.
      Conclusions: These studies are a first step in the development of a novel outcome measure for social-communication behaviors with applications to clinical trials and longitudinal studies. Future work should continue to explore the benefits and limitations of the BOSCC in larger independent samples.
Measuring Separation of Children from their Usual Caregivers in Humanitarian Contexts: The case for a holistic approach to measurement, with implications for practice

description: Disaster-affected children are among the most vulnerable populations and face a wide range of threats to their health and well-being. One of the most significant threats to children is separation from their family, a problem which occurs in most humanitarian contexts. Because separation can have lasting adverse consequences for children’s health and well-being, child protection actors frequently develop programs to respond to the needs of separated children. However, rigorous methods to measure prevalence and characteristics of separation are scarce and rarely deployed in humanitarian settings. Existing measurement and programmatic approaches focus primarily on responding to to the needs of already separated children and give little attention to prevention of separation at the population level, the context, and the root causes of separation. Analyzing innovative measurement methodologies with a public health lens, this dissertation presents a systematic, conceptual and practical case for a comprehensive approach to the measurement of and programming for separation of children in humanitarian settings. It argues that efforts to support vulnerable children must ultimately be as holistic as are the causes of their vulnerability.

description: It is shown that a $N\times N$ real symmetric [complex hermitian] positive definite matrix $V$ is congruent to a diagonal matrix modulo a pseudo-orthogonal [pseudo-unitary] matrix in $SO(m,n)$ [ $SU(m,n)$], for any choice of partition $N=m+n$. It is further shown that the method of proof in this context can easily be adapted to obtain a rather simple proof of Williamson's theorem which states that if $N$ is even then $V$ is congruent also to a diagonal matrix modulo a symplectic matrix in $Sp(N,{\cal R})$ [$Sp(N,{\cal C})$]. Applications of these results considered include a generalization of the Schweinler-Wigner method of `orthogonalization based on an extremum principle' to construct pseudo-orthogonal and symplectic bases from a given set of linearly independent vectors.

description: This paper assesses the impact of high-skilled labor on the unemployment and wages of low- and medium-skilled workers in the Netherlands. Using annual panel data from the Netherlands’ Centraal Bureau voor de Statistiek (National Bureau of Statistics, CBS), a statistically significant negative impact of an increase in high-skilled labor on the livelihoods of low- and medium-skilled workers can be shown. An increase in high-skilled labor is associated with a significant decrease in the income share of the bottom tenth percentile of the population as well as a decrease in jobs for the low- and medium-skilled workers. The data reveals a significant negative effect on the bottom 60 percent of earners and a disproportionate increase in the earnings share of the top 30 percent. This development can be explained by job market dynamics. Every high-skilled worker that enters the labor market displaces medium- and low-skilled workers into lower paid positions.

A significant suppression of the superfluid density with magnetic field rho_s(H) is observed for both underdoped (x=0.125) and overdoped (x=0.17) samples. We show that the existing theoretical models of the Josephson vortex state fail to consistently describe the observed effects and discuss possible reasons for the discrepancies.

description: Motivated by inflation, the theory of big-bang nucleosynthesis and the quest for a deeper understanding of the fundamental forces and particles, a very successful paradigm for the development of structure in the Universe has evolved. It holds that most of the matter exists in the form of slowly moving elementary particles left over from the earliest moments (cold dark matter or CDM) and that the small density inhomogeneities that seed structure formation arose from quantum fluctuations around $10^{-34}\sec$ after the bang. A flood of observations is now testing the cold dark matter paradigm -- from determinations of the Hubble constant to measurements of the anisotropy of the Cosmic Background Radiation (CBR) -- and could reveal the details of the theory as well.

description: Developmental plans of the country emphasize on the exports- focused growth strategy, and export diversification is one of the most appropriate policies in this area. Export diversification moves from primary goods to industrial goods. Yet, export diversification, according to the principles of international trade, must be based on comparative advantage until to change value-added. Changes in the value-added of industrial activities can show manufacturing and export capabilities of a country and also production growth. Due to the importance and high value-added of the agricultural sector in developing countries, added value and influencing factors in triple industries of food, wood, and paper are studied. To this end, human capital and physical capital in agricultural triple industries is considered. The variable of weighted comparative advantage of agricultural triple industries and diversification in these industries are considered for the period of 1998 to 2013 by using panel data. The results of the model estimation indicated that, during the period under study, the wood and paper industries had the lack of comparative advantage in the production and export. This variable will have a negative effect on the growth of valueadded. Exports diversification is only carried out in food industries; however, this variable had a positive impact on the growth of the value-added of agricultural sector industries. The human capital and physical capital have a high positive effect on value-added of the industries in the agricultural sector.
Synchronization of Strange Nonchaotic Attractors

description: Strange nonchaotic attractors (SNAs), which are realized in many quasiperiodically driven nonlinear systems are strange (geometrically fractal) but nonchaotic (the largest nontrivial Lyapunov exponent is negative). Two such identical independent systems can be synchronized by in-phase driving: because of the negative Lyapunov exponent, the systems converge to a common dynamics which, because of the strangeness of the underlying attractor, is aperiodic. This feature, which is robust to external noise, can be used for applications such as secure communication. A possible implementation is discussed, and its performance is evaluated. The use of SNAs rather than chaotic attractors can offer some advantages in experiments involving synchronization with aperiodic dynamics.

We begin with the interesting possibility that magnetic fields originated at some level from the early universe. This could be during inflation, the electroweak or the quark-hadron phase transitions. These mechanisms can give rise to fields which could be strong, but often with much smaller coherence scales than galactic scales. Their subsequent turbulent decay decreases their strength but increases their coherence. We then turn to astrophysical batteries which can generate seed magnetic fields. Here the coherence scale can be large, but the field strength is generally very small. These seed fields need to be further amplified and maintained by a dynamo to explain observed magnetic fields in galaxies. Basic ideas behind both small and large-scale turbulent dynamos are outlined. The small-scale dynamo may help understand the first magnetization of young galaxies, while the large-scale dynamo is important for the generation of fields with scales larger than the stirring scale, as observed in nearby disk galaxies. The current theoretical challenges that turbulent dynamos encounter and their possible resolution are discussed.

description: plays a significant role in the development of the society at different levels and is seen as an important source of employment and income especially in rural areas. Considering its different potential impacts, the present study aims to explore the effects of tourism development on the rural area of Giyan district. The target population comprised the residents of rural areas in the vicinity of Giyan tourism district (N=7500). Using the Cochran’s formula, the sample size was estimated to be 285, and a completely random sampling method was applied for data collection. A self-administered questionnaire was used as research instrument whose face validity was confirmed by a panel of experts. In order to estimate the reliability of the questionnaire, a Cronbach’s alpha was used for the pre-test. The reliability and validity of the factor analysis were estimated by Composite Reliability (CR) and Average Variance Extracted (AVE) for study components, respectively. In addition to the descriptive analysis, an Explanatory Factor Analysis and a Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) were employed to classify research variables. It was found that from the residents’ viewpoint, the major effects of tourism include ‘improved job opportunities’, ‘increased income’ and ‘decreased number of agricultural sector employees’ The results of factor analysis revealed that economic, sociocultural, and environmental factors account for 63% of the total variance. The results of the confirmatory factor analysis showed that all the employed indices were acceptable to fit the model. Moreover, it was shown that the economic factor, with a coefficient of 0.93, had the highest share in explaining the latent variable of the effects of tourism development.

Free energy and torque for superconductors with different anisotropies of H_{c2} and lambda

description: The free energy is evaluated for a uniaxial superconductor with the anisotropy of the upper critical field, gamma_H = H_{c2,ab}/H_{c2,c}, different from the anisotropy of the penetration depth gamma_{lambda} = lambda_c/lambda_{ab}. With increasing difference between gamma_H and gamma_{lambda}, the equilibrium orientation of the crystal relative to the applied field may shift from theta = pi/2 (theta is the angle between the field and the c axis) to lower angles and reach theta = 0 for large enough gamma_H. These effects are expected to take place in MgB_2.

Time-Reversal Symmetry and Arrow of Time in Quantum Mechanics of Open Systems

description: It is one of the most important and long-standing issues of physics to derive the irreversibility out of a time-reversal symmetric equation of motion. The present paper considers the breaking of the time-reversal symmetry in open quantum systems and the emergence of an arrow of time. We claim that the time-reversal symmetric Schrödinger equation can have eigenstates that break the time-reversal symmetry if the system is open in the sense that it has at least a countably infinite number of states. Such eigenstates, namely the resonant and anti-resonant states, have complex eigenvalues. We show that, although these states are often called "unphysical," they observe the probability conservation in a particular way. We also comment that the seemingly Hermitian Hamiltonian is non-Hermitian in the functional space of the resonant and anti-resonant states, and hence there is no contradiction in the fact that it has complex eigenvalues. We finally show how the existence of the states that break the time-reversal symmetry affects the quantum dynamics. The dynamics that starts from a time-reversal symmetric initial state is dominated by the resonant states for $t>0$; this explains the phenomenon of the arrow of time, in which the decay excels the growth. The time-reversal symmetry holds in that the dynamics ending at a time-reversal symmetric final state is dominated by the anti-resonant states for $t<0$.

description: We prove the equivalence among symmetricity, time reversibility, and zero entropy production of the stationary solutions of linear stochastic differential equations. A sufficient and necessary reversibility condition expressed in terms of the coefficients of the equations is given. The existence of a linear stationary irreversible process is established. Concerning reversibility, we show that there is a contradistinction between any 1-dimensional stationary Gaussian process and stationary Gaussian process of dimension $n>1$. A concrete criterion for differentiating stationarity and sweeping behavior is also obtained. The mathematical result is a natural generalization of Einstein's fluctuation-dissipation relation, and provides a rigorous basis for the isothermal irreversibility in a linear regime which is the basis for applying Onsager's theory to macromolecules in aqueous solution.
