Gender, place, and fear of victimization on campus
Creators: name: Jacobsen, Shannon Kerry

description: One of the most important predictors of fear of crime is gender, in that women are more fearful of crime than men despite their lower risks for victimization.  Given that crime on campus has become one of the nation’s most pressing social problems, it is important to investigate the impact of perceived risk and fear of crime on students’ routines, in addition to how these vary by gender and campus context.  As such, this study aims to answer the following questions: First, how does the community context and the presence of the campus police shape women’s and men’s perceptions of risk and fears of victimization on campus?  Second, how and when do gender and campus context influence students’ ideas about who the most likely victims and perpetrators of crime are?  And third, how does the adoption of precautionary strategies impact women’s and men’s perceptions of risk and fear of victimization?    Through analysis of in-depth interviews with 70 undergraduates at a suburban (N=36) and an urban university (N=34), this study challenges previous research attributing women’s higher levels of fear to the notion that their concerns about sexual assault “shadow” their fears of other crimes, regardless of campus context.  Although the shadow was present in both women’s and men’s remarks on the suburban campus, such that nearly all participants explicitly related the limited concerns they had to the possibility of women being sexually assaulted by non-students, it was largely absent on the urban campus where all students instead noted being most concerned about robbery committed by residents of the city who were poor and African American.  Further, and contrary to existing research, gender shaped the precautionary measures that students used to minimize their risks in the two settings in different ways.    Overall, this study emphasizes the need to consider context when examining how gender influences students’ perceptions of risk and fear of crime on campus, particularly since it has been central to investigations of residents’ perceptions of risk and fear of crime within neighborhood settings.  This study’s findings aim to inform policy discussions at institutions of higher education, as administrators and campus police departments attempt to make students feel safer while also ensuring that women and men have equal access to the opportunities that will make their futures successful.
Scientific maps and innovation

description: Scientific mapping projects like the ongoing US BRAIN initiative and Human Cell Atlas are data and resource intensive endeavors that curate immense amounts of information. While both public and private funds support such mapping of the scientific knowledge landscape, the impact of such projects on innovation is not well understood.  Innovation can be conceptualized as a spatial process, where firms and inventors search either locally or in distant, lesser explored, territories. In my dissertation, I asked whether scientific maps influence technological search, and if so how.     To address this empirically, I chose the Human Genome Project (HGP) as my context and asked how it affected drug discovery. HGP, the largest publicly-funded biology project, released the complete human genome map in 2000, enabling scientists to identify and focus on disease-causing genes as targets for drug discovery. Using a novel dataset of chemistry drug patents, I tracked firm search processes pre- and post-HGP. To measure how the HGP map impacts firm exploration, I also developed a novel method based on chemical similarities to capture search trajectories over time. My conclusions on how the HGP map influenced inventive activity, innovation strategy and outcomes are detailed in three essays and build on existing theories in the innovation literature. Briefly, I found that the HGP map increased the rate of novel compound production, exploration and impacted firm innovation strategies. This was influenced by prior firm knowledge, market competition and product market specialization.      This study informs on mechanisms by which basic science driven scientific maps influence industry innovation. My findings bear implications on public policy, R&D management and firm strategy.

description: Classical pseudo-gauge transformations are discussed in the context of hydrodynamic models of heavy-ion collisions. A decomposition of the pseudo-gauge transformation into Lorentz-invariant tensors is made, which allows for better interpretation of its physical consequences. For pseudo-gauge transformations connecting two symmetric energy-momentum tensors, we find that the super-potential $Φ^{λμν}$ must obey a conservation law of the form $\partial_λΦ^{λμν} = 0$. This equation, referred to below as the STS condition, represents a constraint that is hardly possible to be satisfied for tensors constructed out of the basic hydrodynamic variables such as temperature, baryon chemical potential, and the hydrodynamic flow. However, in a special case of the boost-invariant flow, the STS condition is automatically fulfilled and a non-trivial residual pseudo-gauge transformation defined by a single scalar field is allowed. In this case the bulk and shear viscosity coefficients become pseudo-gauge dependent; however, their specific linear combination appearing in the equations of motion remains pseudo-gauge invariant. This finding provides new insights into the role of pseudo-gauge transformations and pseudo-gauge invariance.

The only species in this Panchaetothripinae genus, M. apterygus, is an Australian endemic, and is known only from wingless individuals. The plant species on which it actually breeds remains uncertain. Claimed originally to have been collected from the leaves of grasses, subsequent observations suggested that the host might be a species of Restionaceae, but this has yet to be confirmed. Information and illustrations for this genus are web-available (Mound, Paris et al., 2011).

The effects of chance and romantic motives on consumer preferences
Creators: name: Kim, Aekyoung
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2018

description: My dissertation advances our understandings about how chance and romantic motives influence consumer behavior.     The first essay examines why chance events are often perceived more favorably and how such events impact the consumer experience. A series of studies demonstrate that consumers come to infer a stronger link between a chance event and their own self-concept. This increased self-product connection occurs as a means to restore a sense of control over chance events. This effect occurs regardless of limited mental resources, suggesting that the proposed effect is not due to increased elaboration during chance encounters. Consistent with the conceptualization, this effect is attenuated when control is restored, when the product has a negative valence, and when consumers are led to focus on others and not the self. This research is the first to examine the hidden factors that lead chance to become associated with good fortune.    The second essay considers whether romantic pair-bond motivations influence numerical preferences. Across cultures and throughout history, the number “2” has been symbolic of a romantic pair bond. I propose that reminders of romance should lead people to prefer the number “2” and associated even numbers. A series of studies demonstrate that romantic motives – goals related to forming a romantic pair-bond – increase preference for the number “2” and other numbers of its parity (i.e., even vs. odd numbers) and marketing stimuli featuring even (vs. odd) numbers. This effect is specific to romantic motives and does not occur for other relationship motives such as those related to work relationship, kinship, and friendship. Consistent with a motivational perspective, the desire to form a romantic relationship statistically mediated the effect of romantic cues on preference for even numbers. Subsequently, the effect of romantic motives on preference for even numbers is suppressed when mating goals are easy to achieve or a committed romantic pair-bond (with one partner) is not important.    Across two essays, my dissertation provides novel insight into the hidden influences of chance and romantic motives on the consumer experience. This work has important implications for consumers, marketers, and researchers. Namely, the conceptual underpinning advanced in both essays provides a richer understanding of two unknown, persistent biases in consumer behavior. Insights from this work can help consumers and marketers design optimal decision environments to enhance enjoyment and find work-arounds for biases in preferences, as well as advance future research.

Environmental Quality Laboratory Research Report, 1985-1987
Creators: name: Brooks, Norman H.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1988

description: The Environmental Quality Laboratory at Caltech is a center for research on large-scale systems problems of natural resources and environmental quality. The principal areas of investigation at EQL are:

1. Air quality management.

2. Water resources and water quality management.

3. Control of hazardous substances in the environment.

4. Energy policy, including regulation, conservation and energy-environment tradeoffs.

5. Resources policy (other than energy); residuals management.

EQL research includes technical assessments, computer modeling, studies of environmental control options, policy analyses, and research on important components of the large-scale systems. Field work is also undertaken at EQL, some in collaboration with other organizations, to provide critical data needed for evaluation of systems concepts and models.

EQL's objectives are as follows:

1. To do systematic studies of environmental and resources problems. The results of these studies, including the clarification of policy alternatives, are communicated to decision-makers in government and industry, to the research community, and to the public. As an organization, EQL refrains from advocating particular policies, but seeks to point out the implications of the various policy alternatives.

2. To contribute to the education and training of people in these areas through involvement of predoctoral students, postdoctoral fellows, and visiting faculty members in EQL activities. This educational effort is just as important as the results of the studies themselves, and should make lasting contributions to the nation's ability to solve its environmental and resources problems.

The work at EQL goes beyond the usual academic research in that it tries to organize and develop the knowledge necessary to clarify society's alternatives by integrating relevant disciplines. EQL works on solving problems of specific localities when there is a strong element of public interest or educational value, or the concepts and results are applicable to other places.

The research of EQL during this period was done under the supervision of faculty members in Environmental Engineering Science, Chemical Engineering, and Social Science.

This research report covers the period from October 1985 through September 1987. The publications listed under the individual project descriptions are the new ones for the reporting period.

Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2018

description: Lean Six Sigma is a process improvement methodology that has been used in several industries and sectors for years. Even though Lean and Six Sigma come from distinct backgrounds, over a period of time, they have been used in conjunction with each other by companies to solve problems, increase efficiency and reduce waste in the processes. In the traditional schema of things, Lean Six Sigma methodology is more commonly used in a manufacturing setting. Further, the impact of organizational culture and leadership style is often ignored in the deployment of Lean Six Sigma methodologies.   The objective of this dissertation is to study the impact of organizational culture and leadership styles on the deployment of Lean Six Sigma and its outcomes in a service sector. In particular, this research focuses on Healthcare sector.   In Chapter 1, we provide an introduction to Lean and Six Sigma and provide an insight into the evolution of the methodology from Quality Management. We discuss one of the most common approaches, DMAIC, used in Lean Six Sigma to improve existing processes. We also introduce the various belts that individuals can earn in Lean Six Sigma    Chapter 2 discusses the literature that was reviewed for this research and also introduces our hypothesis and propositions for the study.    Chapter 3 describes the methodology we sued to conduct the research. We studied the deployment of Lean Six Sigma in 3 different companies; a healthcare company, a medical devices company, and a pharmaceutical company. For study 1, we reviewed the procurement process at Company A. For study 2, we reviewed the Facilities work order process at Company B and for study 3, we reviewed the mail distribution process for Company C. Chapter 3 provides backgrounds of all 3 studies, one at a time, and also provides details of data collection and analysis conducted on all 3 studies.   In Chapter 4, we discuss the results from deploying Lean Six Sigma in 3 projects in 3 different companies. We also discuss the cultural implications and interaction effects of leadership and organizational culture on the results.  Chapter 5 summarizes the overall conclusions of the research and we discuss the findings and also discuss the strengths and limitations of our research and areas for future research.

description: We report the discovery of a unique quasar-dusty star-forming galaxy (DSFG) system at $z = 5.63$, consisting of the bright quasar J1133+1603 ($M_{\rm UV} = -27.42$) and its compact, dust-obscured companion, J1133c. ALMA observations reveal a prominent [C II] bridge connecting the quasar and DSFG, indicating ongoing interaction at a projected separation of 1.8 arcsec ($\sim$10 proper kpc). J1133c exhibits unusually bright and broad [C II] emission ($L_{\rm [CII]} > 10^{43}$ erg s$^{-1}$, FWHM $> 500$ km s$^{-1}$), with a [C II] luminosity five times that of the quasar, suggesting intense star formation or potential AGN activity. The inferred star formation rate from [C II] is approximately $10^3$ M$_\odot$ yr$^{-1}$. The remarkable properties of this pair strongly suggest that galaxy interactions may simultaneously trigger both starburst and quasar activity, driving rapid evolution in the early universe.

The construction and prioritization of threats in the post-Cold War era and the evolution of American national security policy
Creators: name: Kronfeld, Melissa Jane
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2018

description: This dissertation asks, given the apparent disconnect between externally defined (or objective) threats and those internally (or subjectively) prioritized by the American government, under what conditions does the U.S. prioritize specific types of threats to its national security? In the case of this research, I seek to understand what are the primary determinates of prioritization in regards to the threat posed to the United States by terrorism, narco-trafficking, climate change and the emerging geopolitics of the Arctic region? At its very essence, this dissertation seeks to explain what Ronnie Lipschultz questioned: “how do ideas [sic] about security develop, enter the realm of public policy debate and discourse and, eventually becomes institutionalized in hardware, organizations, roles, and practices?” In this dissertation, I examine two primary explanations and the hypotheses they generate to explain how the U.S. government prioritizes threats to its national security. The first is the role of the international system and the second is the role of political culture. A Realist bias towards the effects of the international system, posits that factors external to the U.S. government’s choosing - primarily the changing nature of the international system, evolving power dynamics, and the impact on the character of the threats emerging from it - is the best explanatory variable for threat prioritization. The alternative, a Constructivist-Institutional (i.e. bureaucratic) argument, posits that a bias towards U.S. political culture and its effects on the decision-making processes of national security institutions (factors internal to the character of the U.S. political and institutional perspective) is the primary determinate in threat prioritization. Ultimately, I argue that the latter explanation is better substantiated. I illustrate this through a series of case studies, each which explores a threat representing a different level of prioritization in the schemata of U.S. national security policy. And I present an examination of acquired qualitative and quantitative data, indicating the dominance of subjective factors versus objective measures in ranking threats.

With few exceptions, the species of this genus breed in the flowers of Fabaceae, and many show high levels of host specificity within that family. In contrast, three species (O. compta, reedi and unidentata) breed only in the florets of particular native Poaceae. Despite this host plant difference, these three species share so many structural character states with the typical members of the genus that breed on Fabaceae that there is no reason to consider them as generically distinct. An identification key to the 18 described members of Odontothripiella was provided by Pitkin (1972).

description: Broader adoption of 4D ultrafast electron microscopy (UEM) for the study of chemical, materials, and quantum systems is being driven by development of new instruments as well as continuous improvement and characterization of existing technologies. Perhaps owing to the still-high barrier to entry, the full range of capabilities of laser-driven 4D UEM instruments has yet to be established, particularly when operated at extremely low beam currents (~fA). Accordingly, with an eye on beam stability, we have conducted particle tracing simulations of unconventional off-axis photoemission geometries in a UEM equipped with a thermionic-emission gun. Specifically, we have explored the impact of experimentally adjustable parameters on the time-of-flight (TOF), the collection efficiency (CE), and the temporal width of ultrashort photoelectron packets. The adjustable parameters include the Wehnelt aperture diameter (DW), the cathode set-back position (Ztip), and the position of the femtosecond laser on the Wehnelt aperture surface relative to the optic axis (Rphoto). Notable findings include significant sensitivity of TOF to DW and Ztip, as well as non-intuitive responses of CE and temporal width to varying Rphoto. As a means to improve accessibility, practical implications and recommendations are emphasized wherever possible.

description: Unconventional superconductivity, where electron pairing does not involve electron-phonon interactions, is often attributed to magnetic correlations in a material. Well known examples include high-T_c cuprates and uranium-based heavy fermion superconductors. Less explored are unconventional superconductors with strong spin-orbit coupling, where interactions between spin-polarised electrons and external magnetic field can result in multiple superconducting phases and field-induced transitions between them, a rare phenomenon in the superconducting state. Here we report a magnetic-field driven phase transition in β-PdBi2, a layered non-magnetic superconductor. Our tunnelling spectroscopy on thin PdBi2 monocrystals incorporated in planar superconductor-insulator-normal metal junctions reveals a marked discontinuity in the superconducting properties with increasing in-plane field, which is consistent with a transition from conventional (s-wave) to nodal pairing. Our theoretical analysis suggests that this phase transition may arise from spin polarisation and spin-momentum locking caused by locally broken inversion symmetry, with p-wave pairing becoming energetically favourable in high fields. Our findings also reconcile earlier predictions of unconventional multigap superconductivity in β-PdBi2 with previous experiments where only a single s-wave gap could be detected.

Martin Williams and the Armstrongian prophecy
Creators: name: Li, Michael Tom
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2018

description: This study examines the place of Louis Armstrong in the work of the jazz critic Martin Williams. By tallying Williams’s lasting interest in Armstrong from his teenage years to his last projects, the study shows that the critic’s focus on Armstrong’s rhythmic innovation depended on the argument that this particular aspect of Armstrong’s art was the major axis in the development of jazz history, an axis crucial to the emergence of other jazz musicians deemed most significant by Williams. The study further shows that Williams’s approach was most heavily influenced by the literary criticism of T. S. Eliot and the foundationalism of André Hodeir, and that Williams’s persistent interest in aesthetic lineage could be traced to the ambivalence he felt toward his own parentage.

Three species are recognised in this genus. O. wrighti is known only from a few specimens from grasses in northern Australia, but O. bianchii was described from Hawaii, and O. indicus is known from India and Australia (Mound, 2000). The latter two species have been found living below the surface of water in the mucous layer of plants including Typha, Colocasia and Eichornia. These thrips share with several other grass-living thrips in Australia the character state of the prosternum bearing a pair of setae. However, the form of the head strongly prolonged in front of the eyes, and the curious seta at the inner apex of the fore tibiae, are distinctive.

This genus is known only from Australia. There are six described species, of which most are dark brown but with one brightly bicoloured, and five of them are known only from the northern parts of the continent. The sixth, O. fenarius, was described from many specimens taken in the southern half of Western Australia, but in December 2010 was found breeding on the leaves of an unidentified native grass in forest on the east coast, near Narooma south of Sydney. Like Anaphothrips species, these thrips all lack long setae on the pronotum, but in contrast to the members of that genus they have sternal discal setae. Two species have craspeda on the sternites, but these structures are not present in the other four species. The host plants are various native Poaceae, although one species is known only from a species of Cyperaceae.

description: A computational study of I-BODIPY (2-ethyl-4,4-difluoro-6,7-diiodo-1,3-dimethyl-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene) was conducted to investigate its photophysical properties as a potential triplet photosensitizer for singlet oxygen generation. Multireference CASPT2 and CASSCF methods were used to calculate vertical excitation energies and spin-orbit couplings (SOCs) in a model monoiodinated BODIPY molecule to assess the applicability of the single-reference ADC(2) method.
 Time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) with the Tamm-Dancoff approximation (TDA) was tested against ADC(2) using different exchange-correlation functionals, employing a two-component pseudopotential basis set for iodine. SOC magnitudes between excited states were discussed using the Slater-Condon rules. The geometry dependence of SOCs for the lowest states was also examined.
 TD-DFT/B3LYP and TD-DFT(TDA)/BHLYP were selected for subsequent absorption spectra and trajectory surface hopping (TSH) molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Two bright states were identified in I-BODIPY's visible spectrum, showing a red shift due to iodine substitution. Excited-state MD simulations, including nonadiabatic effects and SOCs, were performed to investigate relaxation after photoexcitation to the S1 state.
 TSH MD simulations revealed that intersystem crossings occur on a similar timescale to internal conversions. After triplet population growth, a "saturation" phase was reached with a triplet-to-singlet ratio of about 4:1. The calculated triplet quantum yield of 0.85 agrees qualitatively with the experimental singlet oxygen generation yield of 0.99.

This genus was redefined by Bhatti (1975), who distinguished it from Exothrips, and described a second species. The two genera share most character states, but in Parexothrips species ocellar setae pair III arise outside the ocellar triangle, the prosternal basantra bears two or more pairs of setae, and the prosternal ferna is incomplete medially.

New presidential war powers
Creators: name: Neeley, Alexander J.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2018

description: American foreign policy has drastically changed since September 11, 2001.  In the decade before that date America was engaged in a series of smaller conflicts, but nothing sustained over a long period of time.  The United States (U.S.) has fought its two longest wars, Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) and Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF), since then.  Both wars were aided by the major shift in presidential war powers that occurred due to September 11, 2001.  Within one week of the terror attacks that day the Authorization of Use of Military Force of 2001 (AUMF) was passed into law.  This AUMF changed presidential war powers more than any authorization for war.  It has also impacted many civil liberties issues, closing the gap between liberty and security.    The purpose of my thesis is to prove that presidential war powers changed under President Bush more than any President.  I specifically state that passing the AUMF of 2001 is the direct point in time where presidential war powers changed for the foreseeable future as my second argument.  Lastly, I argue that President Bush was within his constitutional rights and acted within the precedents set by past Presidents while defending America.     There are many parts to this thesis that support my arguments.  First, I try to interpret the intent of the Framers of the Constitution (Framers) regarding war powers in the Constitution of the U.S. (Constitution).  This is important because it is what scholars and politicians use to base their positions on this topic.  This is where I discuss both arguments of the war powers debate.  One argument is that the President has war powers given in the Constitution.  The other is that only Congress has the power to declare war.  I also provide a history of Presidents using war powers, so we can compare them to President Bush.  The bulk of my thesis discusses the AUMF of 2001 in many capacities.  I discuss the overview, impact, debate, and framework of it to show evidence for my thesis statement and key arguments.  Through my thesis I defend it from a historical perspective.  Historical evidence supports all of my arguments and is the baseline of it.
De novo firm growth, innovation and take-off

description: Interest in the benefits and drawbacks that stem from the geographic distribution of firms – meaning the socio-economic environment in which they operate – as a potential source of competitive advantage has increased recently in both the entrepreneurship and strategy literature.  How those benefits and drawbacks affect de novo firms (independent new ventures) who are considered a major source of job creation, innovation, and economic growth, is not well understood.  This dissertation aims to shed light on the processes and conditions underlying de novo firm growth, innovativeness, and the likelihood of transition into the high-growth stage. I draw and integrate theories from strategic management, entrepreneurship, and economic geography and examine these issues using a comprehensive longitudinal data of Canadian manufacturing firms.  The insights from my studies are important because they allow us to theoretically and empirically identify and separate the exact locational attributes that affect the growth of new entrants, examine which firms experience the benefits and drawbacks of each attribute, and provide a more complete and systematic explanation of their growth and the determinants of their innovativeness.
