description: We investigate T-duality of a closed string moving in a weakly curved background of the second order. A previously discussed weakly curved background consisted of a flat metric and a linearly coordinate dependent Kalb-Ramond field with an infinitesimal strength. The background here considered differs from the above in a coordinate dependent metric of the second order. Consequently, the corresponding Ricci tensor is nonzero. As this background does not posses the global shift symmetry the generalized Buscher T-dualization procedure is not applicable to it. We redefine it and make it applicable to backgrounds without the global symmetry.

Τα πολιτικά και φιλοσοφικά ζητήματα με τα οποία ο στοχαστής καταπιάστηκε αποτελούν πεδία σύγκρουσης αλλά και γόνιμης αντιπαράθεσης από τις απαρχές των οργανωμένων κοινωνιών και η έρευνα αυτή εστιάζει στην ιστορική τους πορεία. Η διατριβή, μεταξύ άλλων, επεξεργάζεται και αναλύει κομβικές έννοιες της πολιτικής φιλοσοφίας του διανοητή. Αυτές είναι η ισότητα, η ελευθερία, η κυριαρχία, η κοινότητα, ο ελευθεριακός κοινοτισμός, ο δημοκρατικός συνομοσπονδισμός, ο κομμουναλισμός, η ανθρώπινη βούληση και η κοινωνική οικολογία. Παράλληλα, διερευνάται ο τρόπος με τον οποίο τις χρησιμοποιεί ο Μπούκτσιν σε συνάρτηση με το εκάστοτε πολιτικό πλαίσιο, ενώ, ταυτόχρονα, κατατίθεται η πολιτική τους προοπτική.
description: This research analyses the essential aspects of Murray Bookchin's political theory. The political and philosophical issues that the thinker addressed have been areas of both conflict and fruitful debate since the beginnings of organized societies, and this research focuses on their historical development. The thesis, among other things, elaborates and analyses key concepts of the thinker's political philosophy. These are equality, freedom, liberty, sovereignty, community, libertarian communitarianism, democratic confederalism, communalism, human will and social ecology. At the same time, the way in which Bookchin uses them in relation to the political context at hand is explored, and, at the same time, their political perspective is presented.
Walking and Biking While Black: Wake County, NC

description: For Black Americans, the risk of being a victim of traffic violence while walking or biking is higher than it is for the general public. However, for local and regional governments, racial crash disparities are not well documented, and existing methods for addressing racial crash disparities are not widespread. Consequently, the purpose of this report is to provide an example of racial crash disparities at the regional level, and to test the effectiveness of an existing method used to address racial differences in crashes. Wake County, NC was selected as the analysis region for two reasons: the robust pedestrian and bicycle crash data publicly available, and the lack of existing analysis on pedestrian and bicyclist crashes by race. The ‘High Priority Network’ method for addressing racial disparities is the most popular existing model, and it can be easily modified for different regions. The Portland Vision Zero ‘High Priority Network’ model is a prominent version of this model; thus, it was applied and tested in Wake County. Its three main components—Communities of Concern, High Crash Roads, and High Crash Intersections—were analyzed individually.

The analysis revealed that the overall rates of crashes were considerably higher for Black pedestrians and bicyclists, as were the median crash rates by Census Tract. Additionally, Black pedestrians and bicyclist crash victims had consistently less access to infrastructure at the location of the crash. When applied to Wake County, the Portland model for High Priority Networks was fairly competent at locating areas within Wake County with high numbers of Black crashes and a high rate of Black crashes. By modifying the network to focus on racial metrics, the model was more effective at addressing areas of high racial disparity. While some of the racial metrics were less effective at addressing all crashes within the system, a model which combines the standard metrics used by Portland and racial-specific metrics may results in better equity outcomes while not sacrificing the overall efficacy of the model.

description: We present ab initio studies of photoelectron spectra for above threshold detachment (ATD) of F$^-$ anions in short, 1300 nm and 1800 nm laser pulses. We identify and assess the importance of electron rescattering in strong-field photodetachment of a negative ion through comparison with an analytic, Keldysh-type approach, demonstrating the capability of ab-initio computation in the challenging near-IR regime. We further assess the influence of the strong electron correlation on the photodetachment.

description: Flow linear dichroism is a biophysical spectroscopic technique that exploits the shear-induced alignment of elongated particles in suspension. Motivated by the broad aim of optimizing the sensitivity of this technique, and more specifically by a hand-held synthetic biotechnology prototype for waterborne-pathogen detection, a model of steady and oscillating pressure-driven channel flow and orientation dynamics of a suspension of slender microscopic fibres is developed. The model couples the Fokker–Planck equation for Brownian suspensions with the narrow channel flow equations, the latter modified to incorporate mechanical anisotropy induced by the particles. The linear dichroism signal is estimated through integrating the perpendicular components of the distribution function via an appropriate formula which takes the biaxial nature of the orientation into account. For the specific application of pathogen detection via binding of M13 bacteriophage, it is found that increases in the channel depth are more significant in improving the linear dichroism signal than increases in the channel width. Increasing the channel depth to 2 mm and pressure gradient to 5 × 104 Pa m−1 essentially maximizes the alignment. Oscillating flow can produce nearly equal alignment to steady flow at appropriate frequencies, which has significant potential practical value in the analysis of small sample volumes.

description: In this work, the controversy between the interpretations of recent measurements on dense aluminum plasma created with Linac coherent light sources (LCLS) X-ray free electron laser (FEL) and Orion laser has been addressed. In both kind of experiments, helium-like and hydrogen-like spectral lines are used for plasma diagnostics . However, there exist no precise theoretical calculations for He-like ions within dense plasma environment. The strong need for an accurate theoretical estimates for spectral properties of He-like ions in strongly coupled plasma environment leads us to perform ab initio calculations in the framework of Rayleigh-Ritz variation principle in Hylleraas coordinates where ion-sphere potential is used. An approach to resolve the long-drawn problem of numerical instability for evaluating two-electron integrals with extended basis inside a finite domain is presented here. The present values of electron densities corresponding to disappearance of different spectral lines obtained within the framework of ion-sphere potential show excellent agreement with Orion laser experiments in Al plasma and with recent theories. Moreover, this method is extended to predict the critical plasma densities at which the spectral lines of H-like and He-like carbon and argon ions disappear. Incidental degeneracy and level-crossing phenomena are being reported for the first time for two-electron ions embedded in strongly coupled plasma. Thermodynamic pressure experienced by the ions in their respective ground states inside the ion-spheres are also reported.

description: The equivalence of thermodynamic ensembles is at the heart of statistical mechanics and central to our understanding of equilibrium states of matter. Recently, it has been shown that there is a formal connection between the dynamics of open quantum systems and the statistical mechanics in an extra dimension. This is established through the fact that an open system dynamics generates a Matrix Product state (MPS) which encodes the set of all possible quantum jump trajectories and permits the construction of generating functions in the spirit of thermodynamic partition functions. In the case of continuous-time Markovian evolution, such as that generated by a Lindblad master equation, the corresponding MPS is a so-called continuous MPS which encodes the set of continuous measurement records terminated at some fixed total observation time. Here we show that if one instead terminates trajectories after a fixed total number of quantum jumps, e.g. emission events into the environment, the associated MPS is discrete. This establishes an interesting analogy: The continuous and discrete MPS correspond to different ensembles of quantum trajectories, one characterised by total time the other by total number of quantum jumps. Hence they give rise to quantum versions of different thermodynamic ensembles, akin to "grand-canonical" and "isobaric", but for trajectories. Here we prove that these trajectory ensembles are equivalent in a suitable limit of long time or large number of jumps. This is in direct analogy to equilibrium statistical mechanics where equivalence between ensembles is only strictly established in the thermodynamic limit. An intrinsic quantum feature is that the equivalence holds only for all observables that commute with the number of quantum jumps.

description: We develop an immersed boundary (IB) method for modeling flows around fixed or moving rigid bodies that is suitable for a broad range of Reynolds numbers, including steady Stokes flow. The spatio-temporal discretization of the fluid equations is based on a standard staggered-grid approach. Fluid-body interaction is handled using Peskin's IB method; however, unlike existing IB approaches to such problems, we do not rely on penalty or fractional-step formulations. Instead, we use an unsplit scheme that ensures the no-slip constraint is enforced exactly in terms of the Lagrangian velocity field evaluated at the IB markers. Fractional-step approaches, by contrast, can impose such constraints only approximately. Imposing these constraints exactly requires the solution of a large linear system that includes the fluid velocity and pressure as well as Lagrange multiplier forces that impose the motion of the body. To solve this system efficiently, we develop a preconditioner for the constrained IB formulation that is based on an analytical approximation to the Schur complement. This approach is enabled by the near translational and rotational invariance of Peskin's IB method. We demonstrate that only a few cycles of a geometric multigrid method for the fluid equations are required in each application of the preconditioner, and we demonstrate robust convergence of the overall Krylov solver despite the approximations made in the preconditioner. We apply the method to a number of test problems at zero and finite Reynolds numbers, and we demonstrate first-order convergence of the method to several analytical solutions and benchmark computations.

description: The Caughey-Dieness process, also known as the Brownian motion with two valued drift, is used in theoretical physics as an advanced model of the Brownian particle velocity if the resistant force is assumed to be dry friction. This process also appears in many other fields such as applied physics, mechanics, astrophysics, and pure mathematics. In the present paper we are concerned with a more general process, skew Brownian motion with dry friction. The probability distribution of the process itself and of its occupation time on the positive half line are studied. The approach based on the Pugachev-Sveshnikov equation is used. doi: 10.18720/MPM.4112019_17

description: In December 2018, Ambrym Volcano in Vanuatu entered a period of heightened activity, with a marked change in summit lava lake activity and felt seismicity, a summit rift eruption, the appearance of cracks along the eastern rift zone, and other obvious deformation (e.g. uplifted beaches). This heightened activity continued for several weeks and, at the time, there was considerable uncertainty and concern as to how the situation would unfold. This report compiles documents provided to the Vanuatu Meteorology and Geo-Hazard Department (VMGD) via email by GNS Science staff in support of VMGD’s response to the Ambrym crises of December 2018 and January 2019. The aim is to consolidate information, both as a general reference for what was provided at the time and also to refer to during future volcanic crises in Vanuatu and elsewhere. (auth)

description: Lichen planus is a chronic papular and ichty dermatosis that affects the skin and / or the mucous membranes. Its prevalence is 0,5%. its cause is unknown but it is thought to be the result of an autoimmune process against the basement membrane keratinocytes. Several drugs, including leflunomide, have been implicated in inducing lichen planus.
We report here the case of a woman of 73 years treated for rheumatoid arthritis. She was initially treated with methotrexate that was switched to leflunomide 20 mg once a day. In the third week of treatement, she presented hyperchromed and pruritic lesions on the nose, the cheeks, the chin, the scalp and the external auditory ducts. The skin biopsy showed lichen planus. The patient received dermocorticoids that led to the regression of these lesions.
The risk of developing lichen planus with leflunomide therapy should be known. This diagnosis must be evoked if characteristic skin lesions appear with this therapy.
description: Le lichen plan est une dermatose papuleuse et prurigineuse chronique pouvant toucher la peau et / ou les muqueuses. Sa prévalence est de 0,5%. L’étiologie demeure inconnue mais elle implique une réaction inflammatoire auto-immune dirigée contre les kératinocytes de la membrane basale. Plusieurs médicaments ont été incriminés dans l’induction d’un lichen plan ; le leflunomide en fait partie.
Nous rapportons ici l’observation d’une femme âgée de 73 ans suivie depuis 9 ans pour une polyarthrite rhumatoïde séropositive mise initialement sous méthotrexate puis sous leflunomide à la dose de 20 mg par jour. Elle a présenté des lésions hyperchromes prurigineuses au niveau du nez, des joues, du menton, du cuir chevelu et des conduits auditifs externes au cours de la troisième semaine du traitement. La biopsie cutanée était en faveur d’un lichen plan et la patiente a été mise sous dermocorticoïde avec régression des lésions.
Le risque de lichen plan doit être connu chez les patients traités par leflunomide. Ce diagnostic doit être évoqué devant des lésions cutanées caractéristiques apparaissant sous ce traitement.

description: We have analyzed data on the mechanism of tsunami waves formation and destruction caused by thereby, and also have summarized recommendations on tsunami-resistant construction. For reduction of damage and loss from strong earthquakes and high tsunami waves, hereon the solution for tsunami protection of the construction area is proposed in which small typical residential buildings are located in the upper part of the motor road trestle. At such solution, residential buildings are “torn off” from the earth surface on considerable height, and, as result, are not exposed to tsunami wave impact. By using the computerized complex SCAD 21.1, four options of the proposed tsunami-protection solutions have been analyzed. In the course of such analysis, the optimal option – from the point of view of seismic stability – has been selected. For this option, we have checked sections of elements for arising forces, and also made necessary corrections in structures. Final proposed option of the structure provides high seismic and tsunami safety.

In this paper, we reformulate the topological T-duality as an exchange of two Lie algebroids in the generalized tangent bundle. Then, we apply the same formulation to the Poisson-generalized geometry, which is introduced in arXiv:1408.2649 to define $R$-fluxes as field strength associated with $β$-transformations. We propose a definition of $Q$-flux associated with $β$-diffeomorphisms, and show that the topological T-duality exchanges $R$ and $Q$-fluxes.

description: Halos, filaments, sheets and voids in the cosmic web can be defined in terms of the eigenvalues of the smoothed shear tensor and a threshold $λ_{\rm th}$. Using analytic methods, we construct mean maps centered on these types of structures for Gaussian random fields corresponding to cosmological initial conditions. Each map also requires a choice of shear at the origin; we consider three possibilities. We find characteristic sizes, shapes and other properties of the central objects in these mean maps and explore how these properties change with varying the threshold and smoothing scale, i.e. varying the separation of the cosmic web into different kinds of components. The mean maps become increasingly complex as the threshold $λ_{\rm th}$ decreases to zero. We also describe scatter around these mean maps, subtleties which can arise in their construction, and some comparisons between halos in the maps and collapsed halos at final times.

description: Quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) for Toxoplasma gondii multicopy genes has emerged as a promising strategy for sensitive detection of parasite DNA. qPCR can be performed from blood samples, which are minimally invasive to collect. However, there is no consensus about what type of blood specimen yields the best sensitivity. The development of a novel protocol for qPCR detection of T. gondii using blood clot, involving an appropriate DNA extraction method and the use of an internal amplification control to monitor the reaction is presented in the current study. Assays directed to the B1 and REP529 genes were performed in spiked specimens of whole blood, guanidine–ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid blood, and clot. The clot-based qPCR was shown to be more sensitive when compared with other types of specimens, detecting five and 0.05 T. gondii genomes, using B1 and REP529 targets, respectively. Finally, a comparative analysis with samples from HIV patients with clinical suspicion of toxoplasmosis was performed, demonstrating the detection of four positive suspected cases with clots compared with only one using guanidine–ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid blood. The high analytical sensitivity and the cost-effective advantages offered by clot supports this methodology as a good laboratory tool to monitor parasite burden.

description: The development and use of models as decision tools has increased steadily in the past few years. Given its complexity, the energy sector is one of the contexts where this trend can be seen more intensely. We can find different models that include sectoral models, macro-economic models, investment models, operation models or integrated assessment ones. These models have different scopes and granularities and have been developed at different institutions within different platforms. If the aim is to generate a perspective on the entire implications of the energy transition, it is necessary to use several of these models concurrently and in a consistent manner, that is, integrating them. This document presents the framework for the connection of models that has been developed in the context of openENTRANCE.

description: We study the nuclear modification of angular and momentum correlations between heavy quark pairs in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions. The evolution of heavy quarks inside the thermalized medium is described via a modified Langevin approach that incorporates both elastic and inelastic interactions with the medium constituents. The spacetime evolution of the fireball is obtained from a (2+1)-dimensional viscous hydrodynamics simulation. The hadronization of heavy quarks is performed utilizing a hybrid model of fragmentation and coalescence. Our results show that the nuclear modification of the transverse momentum imbalance of D\bar{D} pairs reflects the total energy loss experienced by the heavy quarks and may help us probe specific regions of the medium. The angular correlation of heavy flavor pairs, especially in the low to intermediate transverse momentum regime, is sensitive to the detailed energy loss mechanism of heavy quarks inside the QGP.

description: Collective decision-making is predicted to be more egalitarian in conditions where the costs of group fission are higher. Here, we ask whether Trinidadian guppies (Poecilia reticulata) living in high or low predation environments, and thereby facing differential group fission costs, make collective decisions in line with this prediction. Using a classic decision-making scenario, we found that fish from high predation environments switched their positions within groups more frequently than fish from low predation environments. Because the relative positions individuals adopt in moving groups can influence their contribution towards group decisions, increased positional switching appears to support the prediction of more evenly distributed decision-making in populations where group fission costs are higher. In an agent-based model, we further identified that more frequent, asynchronous updating of individuals' positions could explain increased positional switching, as was observed in fish from high predation environments. Our results are consistent with theoretical predictions about the structure of collective decision-making and the adaptability of social decision-rules in the face of different environmental contexts.

description: We present an analytical solution of the single photon quantum feedback in a cavity quantum electrodynamics system based on a half cavity set-up coupled to a structured continuum. The exact analytical expression we obtain allows us to discuss in detail under which conditions a single emitter-cavity system, which is initially in the weak coupling regime, can be driven into the strong coupling regime via the proposed quantum feedback mechanism [Carmele et al, Phys.Rev.Lett. 110, 013601]. Our results reveal that the feedback induced oscillations rely on a well-defined relationship between the delay time and the atom-light coupling strength of the emitter. At these specific values the leakage into the continuum is prevented by a destructive interference effect, which pushes the emitter to the strong coupling limit.
title: Essays on inference in econometric models

Subjects: subject: HB Economic Theory

description: This thesis contains three essays on inference in econometric models.
 Chapter 1 considers the question of bootstrap inference for Propensity Score Matching. Propensity Score Matching, where the propensity scores are estimated in a first step, is widely used for estimating treatment effects. In this context, the naive bootstrap is invalid (Abadie and Imbens, 2008). This chapter proposes a novel bootstrap procedure for this context, and demonstrates its consistency. Simulations and real data examples demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed method relative to using the asymptotic distribution for inference, especially when the degree of overlap in propensity scores is
 poor. General versions of the procedure can also be applied to other causal effect estimators such as inverse probability weighting and propensity score subclassification, potentially leading to higher order refinements for inference in such contexts.
 Chapter 2 tackles the question of inference in incomplete econometric models. In many economic and statistical applications, the observed data take the form of sets rather than points. Examples include bracket data in survey analysis, tumor growth and rock grain images in morphology analysis, and noisy measurements on the support function of a convex set in medical imaging and robotic vision. Additionally, nonparametric bounds on treatment effects under imperfect compliance can be expressed by means of random sets. This chapter develops a concept of nonparametric likelihood for random sets and its mean, known as the
 Aumann expectation, and proposes general inference methods by adapting the theory of empirical likelihood.
 Chapter 3 considers inference on the cumulative distribution function (CDF) in the classical measurement error model. It proposes both asymptotic and bootstrap based uniform confidence bands for the estimator of the CDF under measurement error. The proposed techniques can also be used to obtain confidence bands for quantiles, and perform various CDF-based tests such as goodness-offit tests for parametric models of densities, two sample homogeneity tests, and tests for stochastic dominance; all for the first time under measurement error.
The Role of the Co-parent Relationship in Technology-Enhanced BPT Outcomes

description: The standard of care treatment for early-onset behavior disorders, Behavioral Parent Training (BPT) is more effective when there is consistent skill use over time and across all parents and other child care providers. Given that it is difficult for more than one parent to participate in treatment, particularly in low-income families, it is critical to consider innovative tools for increasing the reach and impact of services beyond the traditional clinic setting. This study explores the interrelationship of a technology-enhanced BPT model, the strength of the co-parent relationship, and treatment efficacy through secondary analysis using several two-way ANOVA as well as exploring parent consumer satisfaction with the program. Results of the ANOVA lacked statistical significance, but show a consistent trend of higher treatment efficacy for weak co-parent relationships in TE-HNC than in HNC and higher treatment efficacy for strong co-parent relationships in HNC than in TE-HNC. Future research is required to explore and explain this trend, but speculations are discussed as well as interpretations of satisfaction data.

description: A single superconducting artificial atom provides a unique basis for coupling electromagnetic fields and photons hardly achieved with a natural atom. Bringing a pair of harmonic oscillators into resonance with transitions of the three-level atom converts atomic spontaneous processes into correlated emission dynamics. We demonstrate two-mode correlated emission lasing on harmonic oscillators coupled via the fully controllable three-level artificial atom. Correlation of two different color emissions reveals itself as equally narrowed linewiths and quench of their mutual phase-diffusion. The mutual linewidth is more than four orders of magnitude narrower than the Schawlow-Townes limit. The interference between the different color lasing fields demonstrates the two-mode fields are strongly correlated.

description: The purpose of this project is to examine the relationship between obstetrical complications, neonatal complications, prematurity, and effortful control development using a sample of twins. The study aimed to answer the following questions (1) Are individual differences in effortful control primarily explained by differences in genetics? (2) Does prematurity predict effortful control in early and middle childhood above and beyond obstetrical and birth complications? (3) Are genetic and environmental influences on effortful control moderated by prematurity or neonatal complications suggesting a gene-environment interaction?
