description: On August 14, 1989, President Bush signed the Disaster Assistance Act of 1989 (P.L. 101-82). The law provides assistance to crop and livestock producers who suffered losses from natural disasters in 1988 and 1989 which affected their 1989 harvest. At the same time, he signed P.L. 101-81 which permits planting of alternative crops on permitted acreage. This report describes these laws and explains the assistance available to different kinds of producers and the crops permitted to be planted.

description: In Trinidad and Tobago---a two-island Caribbean nation situated at the northern tip of South America---one in four women are victims of some form of domestic violence. Beginning in the mid-eighties, a number of organisations emerged in response to spiraling domestic violence. These organisations have been successful in publicising, delegitimising and criminalising domestic violence. This study questions the ways specific women's organisations address domestic violence at the individual, community and society levels within the context of Trinidad's gender, ethnic and class stratification. In addition it examines the extent to which popular organisations that oppose domestic violence address the strategic interest of deepening poverty and structured gendered inequality and open new political spaces for women. Several anthropological research methods were utilised: structured and informal interviews, life stories, participant observation and focus groups. The methodology included interviews with leaders of 20 organisations in the forefront of the struggle against domestic violence, and in-depth interviews of members of two organisations. The study examines increasing domestic violence within the context of the perception of tremendous material gains by women, yet there seems to be a lack of corresponding success in the ideological sphere. It documents the associational power women glean through joining women's organisations and assesses the degree of women's collective empowerment, based on the "transformative intention" and "transformatory potential" of organisations. Monitoring organisational activities presents an opportunity to examine the validity of analytical frameworks that dichotomize feminine and feminist organisations. Findings illustrate the impact of state formation on the interconnection of ethnicity, class and gender, global macro policies on the household, and the ways in which tensions from class and ethnic divisions constrain women's collective empowerment and widespread collaboration and action. State violence against women emerges as a critical element in contributing to an environment which continues to nurture and perpetuate domestic violence, and which this research links to the structural subjugation of women and an enduring patriarchy.
Dynamical forcing of circular groups

description: In this paper we introduce and study the notion of dynamical forcing. Basically, we develop a toolkit of techniques to produce finitely presented groups which can only act on the circle with certain prescribed dynamical properties. As an application, we show that the set X of rotation numbers which can be forced by finitely presented groups is an infinitely generated Q-module, containing countably infinitely many algebraically independent transcendental numbers. We also show that the set of subsets of the circle which are the set of rotation numbers of an element g of a group G under all actions of G on a circle, as G varies over all countable groups, are exactly the set of closed subsets of the circle which contain 0, and are invariant under the involution which interchanges x and -x. As another application, we construct a finitely generated group which acts faithfully on the circle, but which does not admit any faithful C^1 action, thus answering in the negative a question of John Franks.

description: We consider (four dimensional) gravity coupled to a scalar field with potential V(ϕ). The potential satisfies the positive energy theorem for solutions that asymptotically tend to a negative local minimum. We show that for a large class of such potentials, there is an open set of smooth initial data that evolve to naked singularities. Hence cosmic censorship does not hold for certain reasonable matter theories in asymptotically anti de Sitter spacetimes. The asymptotically flat case is more subtle. We suspect that potentials with a local Minkowski minimum may similarly lead to violations of cosmic censorship in asymptotically flat spacetimes, but we do not have definite results.

An investigation of the relationship among oil revenues, money supply, and the price level in Saudi Arabia
Creators: name: Al-Otaibi, Naif O.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Annual data for Saudi Arabia for the period 1968--1998 were used to investigate the relationship among oil revenues, money supply and the price level. Besides the improvement in the specification of the money demand function in Saudi Arabia, the proposed monetary model in this dissertation differs from those examined in the existing literatures by emphasizing the importance of oil reserves in the money supply process. Most studies in this area have made the implicit assumption that money growth is exogenous and have thus ignored the monetary responses to oil revenues. We identify the main determinants of the money supply and the demand for money in Saudi Arabia, assuming a semi-log form for money demand and continuous equilibrium in the money market. We solve the model for the price level. The model informs the choice of a set of equations for a vector autoregressive model. The baseline model consists of three equations---one each for oil revenues, the money supply and the price level. The data set of only 30 observations dictates that we limit the number of equations. So as not to ignore potentially important relationships, however, we test the robustness of this model by adding other variables, one at a time. The results indicate that non-oil income is an essential part of the Saudi money supply process. Nevertheless, with or without this variable, oil revenue is the driving variable in the system. In addition to the VAR, we estimate a more eclectic price level equation to find out if there is a contemporaneous effect of oil revenues on prices in addition to its indirect effect through the money supply process. The empirical results, which were consistent with those of the VAR model, reveal that the monetary authority in Saudi Arabia follows a counter-cyclical, anti-inflationary monetary policy. Oil revenues have no direct effect on the price level.

description: Reed-Muller codes belong to the family of affine-invariant codes. As such codes they have a defining set that determines them uniquely, and they are extensions of cyclic group codes. In this paper we identify those cyclic codes with multidimensional abelian codes and we use the techniques introduced in \cite{BS} to construct information sets for them from their defining set. For first and second order Reed-Muller codes, we describe a direct method to construct information sets in terms of their basic parameters.

description: The Yang-Mills theory lies at the heart of our understanding of elementary particle interactions. For the strong nuclear forces, we must understand this theory in the strong coupling regime. The primary technique for this is the lattice. While basically an ultraviolet regulator, the lattice avoids the use of a perturbative expansion. I discuss some of the historical circumstances that drove us to this approach, which has had immense success, convincingly demonstrating quark confinement and obtaining crucial properties of the strong interactions from first principles.

description: We investigate the transformation of initial conditions for primordial curvature perturbations under two types of transformations of the associated action: simultaneous redefinition of time and the field to be quantised, and the addition of surface terms. The latter encompasses all canonical transformations, whilst the time- and field-redefinition is a distinct, non-canonical transformation since the initial and destination systems use different times. Actions related to each other via such transformations yield identical equations of motion and preserve the commutator structure. They further preserve the time-evolution of expectation values of quantum operators unless the vacuum state also changes under the transformation. These properties suggest that it is of interest to investigate vacuum prescriptions that also remain unchanged under canonical transformations. We find that initial conditions derived via minimising the vacuum expectation value of the Hamiltonian and those obtained using the Danielsson vacuum prescription are not invariant under these transformations, whereas those obtained by minimising the local energy density are. We derive the range of physically distinct initial conditions obtainable by Hamiltonian diagonalisation, and illustrate their effect on the scalar primordial power spectrum and the Cosmic Microwave Background under the just enough inflation model. We also generalise the analogy between the dynamics of a quantum scalar field on a curved, time-dependent spacetime and the gauge-invariant curvature perturbation. We argue that the invariance of the vacuum prescription obtained by minimising the renormalised stress--energy tensor should make it the preferred procedure for setting initial conditions for primordial perturbations. All other procedures reviewed in this work yield ambiguous initial conditions, which is problematic both in theory and practice.

description: The in-situ characterization of moon-magnetosphere interactions at Jupiter and the mapping of moon auroral footpaths require accurate global models of the magnetospheric magnetic field. In this study, we compare the ability of two widely-used current sheet models, Khurana-2005 (KK2005) and Connerney-2020 (CON2020) combined with the most recent measurements acquired at low, medium, and high latitudes. With the adjustments of the KK2005 model to JRM33, we show that in the outer and middle magnetosphere (R>15RJ), JRM33+KK2005 is found to be the best model to reproduce the magnetic field observations of Galileo and Juno as it accounts for local time effects. JRM33+CON2020 gives the most accurate representation of the inner magnetosphere. This finding is drawn from comparisons with Juno in-situ magnetic field measurements and confirmed by contrasting the timing of the crossings of the Io, Europa, and Ganymede flux tubes identified in the Juno particles data with the two model estimates. JRM33+CON2020 also maps more accurately the UV auroral footpath of Io, Europa, and Ganymede observed by Juno than JRM33+KK2005. The JRM33+KK2005 model predicts a local time asymmetry in position of the moons' footprints, which is however not detected in Juno's UV measurements.This could indicate that local time effects on the magnetic field are marginal at the orbital locations of Io, Europa, and Ganymede. Finally, the accuracy of the models and their predictions as a function of hemisphere, local time, and longitude is explored.

description: On average, the metropolitan economies of individual States• exhibited better economic performance during the 1979-86 period than their nonmetro economies. There was wide variation across States, however. To highlight these differences, States are grouped into five performance categories based on the 1979-86 growth of real earnings within a State's metropolitan area, 1979-86 earnings growth within a State's nonmetropolitan area, and the degree of difference between each. This typology is offered as an aid to policymakers in determining whether a special rural development policy may be appropriate for individual States.

description: New STAR differential and integral v{2,3} measurements that explicitly account for non-flow contributions are reported for p/d/3He+Au, collisions at Roots=200 GeV. The measurements, which leverage the two-particle correlators for p/d/3He+Au and minimum-bias p+p collisions in tandem with three well-established methods of non-flow subtraction, are observed to be method-independent. For comparable multiplicities, they further indicate system-independent v2{2} and v3{2} values that are consistent with the critical role of both size (N{ch}) and the subnucleonic-fluctuations-driven eccentricities e{2,3} but are inconsistent with the notion of shape engineering in p/d/3He+Au collisions. The scaling function derived from the measurements, confirm the important role of final-state effects across a broad spectrum of collision-system sizes and energies and suggests an increase in eta/s(T,muB) for small collision-systems.

description: The Cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies predicted by two cosmological models are compared, one of them is the standard model of general relativity with cold dark matter and cosmological constant, whereas the second model is based on a consistent vector-tensor theory of gravitation explaining solar system and cosmological observations. It is proved that the resulting differences -- between the anisotropies of both models -- are due to the so-called late integrated Sachs Wolfe effect and, consequently, cross correlations between maps of CMB temperatures and tracers of the dark matter distribution could be used in future to select one of the above models. The role of reionization is analysed in detail.

The problem is treated in the tight-binding approximation, with an extra parameter κdenoting the strength of the harmonic trap. It is shown that the κ\to 0 limit of this problem is singular, in the sense that the density of states for a very shallow trap (κ\to 0) is {\it qualitatively different} from that of a translationally invariant lattice (κ= 0). The physics of this difference is discussed, and densities of states and wave functions are exhibited and explained.

Too White to teach race: Student perceptions of racial identity -based professor credibility, a case of pedagogical malpractice?
Creators: name: Brenner, Andrea Malkin
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Nowhere is the challenge by students against a professor's credibility more an issue than in the race-related classroom, where the politics of racial identity cannot be denied. This dissertation examines students' perceptions of the racial identity-based credibility of college professors who teach race-related courses. Four questions will be addressed: What characteristics do students believe make a professor credible to teach race-related courses? What do students believe to be the relationship between professors' racial identities and their credibility to teach race-related courses? Do students' own racial identities (shared with or different from those of their professors) influence their perceptions of professor credibility to teach race-related courses? Do students believe that a professor's race influences his/her ability to present an unbiased account of racial minorities and racial prejudice in the United States? Data collected from college students' interviews and focus groups were used to qualitatively analyze and describe how students weigh both disciplinary expertise and racial affiliation in relation to professor credibility. This study explores the connections between the lived experience that students perceive is necessary to credibly teach about race and both their own and their professors' racial identities. Discussed are students' definitions of the mutually exclusive levels of understanding of racial oppression, the empowering connections between students of color and their professors of color, the disconnection between students of all races and their White professors in race-related classes, and students' beliefs about pigeonholing professors of color into teaching minority issues. The research illustrates that although students believe their White professors have the academic background and often the ability and charisma to teach race-related classes, alone, they are unable to offer the personal lived experience which student believe is necessary to raise their teaching credibility. This study raises important questions about the ability of White instructors to teach courses on racial inequality and oppression, and offers a detailed plan for collaborative teaching and recommendations for a shift of the knowledge base in the race-related classroom.

description: We study a decentralized channel allocation problem in an ad-hoc Internet of Things network underlaying on the spectrum licensed to a primary cellular network. In the considered network, the impoverished channel sensing/probing capability and computational resource on the IoT devices make them difficult to acquire the detailed Channel State Information (CSI) for the shared multiple channels. In practice, the unknown patterns of the primary users' transmission activities and the time-varying CSI (e.g., due to small-scale fading or device mobility) also cause stochastic changes in the channel quality. Decentralized IoT links are thus expected to learn channel conditions online based on partial observations, while acquiring no information about the channels that they are not operating on. They also have to reach an efficient, collision-free solution of channel allocation with limited coordination. Our study maps this problem into a contextual multi-player, multi-armed bandit game, and proposes a purely decentralized, three-stage policy learning algorithm through trial-and-error. Theoretical analyses shows that the proposed scheme guarantees the IoT links to jointly converge to the social optimal channel allocation with a sub-linear (i.e., polylogarithmic) regret with respect to the operational time. Simulations demonstrate that it strikes a good balance between efficiency and network scalability when compared with the other state-of-the-art decentralized bandit algorithms.

description: The divergence-free nature of Bessel beams can be harnessed to effectively trap optical vortices in free space laser propagation. We show how to generate arbitrary vortex configurations in Bessel traps to investigate few-body vortex interactions within a dynamically-evolving fluid of light, which is a formal analog to a non-interacting Bose gas. We implement--theoretically and experimentally--initial conditions of vortex configurations first predicted in harmonically-trapped quantum fluids, in the limit of weak atomic interactions, and model and measure the resultant dynamics. These hard trap dynamics are distinct from the harmonic trap predictions due to the non-local interactions that occur among the hard wall boundary and steep phase gradients that nucleate other vortices. By simultaneously presenting experimental demonstrations with the theoretical proposal, we validate the potential application of using Bessel hard wall traps as testing grounds for engineering few-body vortex interactions within trapped, two-dimensional compressible fluids.

description: Nowhere is the challenge by students against a professor's credibility more an issue than in the race-related classroom, where the politics of racial identity cannot be denied. This dissertation examines students' perceptions of the racial identity-based credibility of college professors who teach race-related courses. Four questions will be addressed: What characteristics do students believe make a professor credible to teach race-related courses? What do students believe to be the relationship between professors' racial identities and their credibility to teach race-related courses? Do students' own racial identities (shared with or different from those of their professors) influence their perceptions of professor credibility to teach race-related courses? Do students believe that a professor's race influences his/her ability to present an unbiased account of racial minorities and racial prejudice in the United States? Data collected from college students' interviews and focus groups were used to qualitatively analyze and describe how students weigh both disciplinary expertise and racial affiliation in relation to professor credibility. This study explores the connections between the lived experience that students perceive is necessary to credibly teach about race and both their own and their professors' racial identities. Discussed are students' definitions of the mutually exclusive levels of understanding of racial oppression, the empowering connections between students of color and their professors of color, the disconnection between students of all races and their White professors in race-related classes, and students' beliefs about pigeonholing professors of color into teaching minority issues. The research illustrates that although students believe their White professors have the academic background and often the ability and charisma to teach race-related classes, alone, they are unable to offer the personal lived experience which student believe is necessary to raise their teaching credibility. This study raises important questions about the ability of White instructors to teach courses on racial inequality and oppression, and offers a detailed plan for collaborative teaching and recommendations for a shift of the knowledge base in the race-related classroom.
Young adolescent girls and older men: Issues of *development, gender and abuse in sexual relations before the age of consent

description: This study explores how a history of abuse is a risk factor for early sexual experience with an older individual, of concern because of the potential for revictimization in a vulnerable population. The higher rates of STDs, pregnancy and childbearing among young abused adolescents with older sex partners indicate a need for better understanding of the psychosocial dynamics underlying this public health problem. To study these relationships, the life story narrative was selected as the method most likely to elicit context, meaning and thematic structure in participants' verbal and affective expression. Four girls, 15 and 16, identified as abused and having had a sexual relationship with an individual 4 or more years older, reflect upon their close relationships of childhood through the present and their impact on the girls' self-definition and expectations of others. As participants characterize the elements of their social world, the effects of abuse and the rationale for older partner involvement become evident through the coherence of their stories. The themes and patterns that emerge in these narratives help to delineate emotional and relational vulnerabilities in this age group and population and clarify the role romantic or sexual relationships with an older individual plays in adolescent risk-taking, self-repair and revictimization.

Exchange rate policy, capital controls, and economic stability in Argentina: A CGE modeling approach
Creators: name: Cibils, Alan Bruce
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: A computable general equilibrium (CGE) model with financial markets was built to simulate the effects of capital control policies in the Argentine economy under alternative exchange rate regimes. The two types of capital control tested are a required reserve deposit on short-term capital inflows and a limit on capital flight. The main channel through which the financial and real sides of the economy interact in this model is bank lending. Changes in capital market conditions affect the availability of credit, directly affecting the ability of firms to borrow for their working capital and investment financing needs. For the flexible exchange rate model simulations, each type of capital control has the effect of diminishing the impact of external financial shocks on key macroeconomic variables. While this is desirable, the introduction of either kind of capital control (in the absence of external shocks) has the undesirable effect of decreasing private national income and investment, in addition to triggering a currency appreciation. It is not clear whether the costs outweigh the benefits in a flexible exchange rate setting. The costs of introducing either capital control policy in the fixed exchange rate model simulations are lower than in the flexible exchange rate model. While simulations for both capital control policies yield mixed results in the fixed exchange rate model, each type of control provides some improvements in the model's response to external shocks.
