Explorations in intuition : breaking boundaries and reclaiming voice through A/r/tographic process
Creators: name: Toth, Michael
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: For me, the path is now clear—release the deep intuitive feeling first and then reflect and respond through intelligence and internal aesthetics. This thesis of creative scholarship is about process, permission, and original voice. I have used intuitive music, poetry, and narrative to create a multi-faceted tapestry that exposes my life roles, my feelings, my values, and the grayer, in- between areas of knowing, teaching, and learning. This process of rediscovery and reclamation of voice has been one of artistically giving myself permission to break through my personal masks and roles as well as transcend cultural paradigms to locate myself. The methodology of A/r/tography (Springgay, S., Irwin, R.L., Wilson Kind, S. 2005) was chosen as a path to make sense of multi-storied archetypes and multilayered avenues of artistic expression. This process is rendered through concepts of excess, metaphor, openings, contiguity, metonymy, living inquiry, and reverberations. Renderings enable artists, teachers and researchers to interrogate the interstitial spaces between things, for example image and work, text and audience, researching, pedagogy and artmaking (Springgay, S., Irwin, R.L., Wilson Kind, S. 2005). The artistic explorations and consequent renderings of revelation and reflection of this ontological exploration can be loosely grouped into seven major themes: Personal Context and Context formation Heroes Regrets Issues with the prevailing culture New beginnings (The importance of) Artistic/Transcendent/Arational spaces Reflections and intimate looks into the form and function of educational landscape. The writing and music were then analyzed in light of who I am and what I know. Results consisted of a number of conceptual strides forward in both my artistic vision and my teaching. Overall, a/r/tography enabled me to gain deeper autobiographical understandings about issues that have shaped my view of the world. From music, poetic and narrative renderings, I learned valuable insights about the real me. I discovered a multilayered individual inside who became reenergized and revitalized about finding my inner voice. From a/r/tographic renderings, I analyzed and reflected on what I learned and unlearned. Though there were resolutions, there were also new directions as I explored intuition, broke boundaries and reclaimed voice. I sculpted and embraced stories behind stories about myself. The notion of hero surfaced while regrets brought new narratives. Who am I? I am artist, teacher, guitar player, and a/r/tographer.
Confederate Nationalism in Georgia, Louisiana, and Virginia During the American Civil War, 1861-1865
Creators: name: Garrett, Lynette Ann
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This dissertation revolves around the construction of Confederate identity in the states of Georgia, Louisiana, and Virginia and adds regional specificity into the discussion of Confederate nationalism. The "hodgepodge" nature of the Confederacy only emphasized the importance of understanding the foundation of Confederate nationalism and its uniformity, not regional variations. Whether or not Confederate identity formation during the war transcended state and regional variation or differed from place to place within these three Confederate states is the important question this study addresses. Confederate nationalism was not monolithic. Instead, this project identifies five themes which allowed southerners in the states of Georgia, Louisiana, and Virginia to construct an identity for themselves as Confederate citizens which they believed differed from the identity of their American counterparts. The five themes of Confederate nationalism were the American Revolution, religion, slavery, white supremacy, and states' rights. The five themes needed to accentuate the common connections which bonded citizens in the Confederacy together, highlight the differences between Confederate and American citizens, and provide justification for the war. The first four themes of Confederate nationalism promoted unity regardless of geographic location while the fifth theme of Confederate identity, states' rights, proved to be divisive. Within the state of Georgia, Governor Joseph E. Brown waged a campaign against conscription and the suspension of habeas corpus; two governmental policies he believed were detrimental to states' rights. In addition to questions about Confederate identity formation, this project also explores the lives of free African Americans and Jews who called these three states of the Confederacy their home. This study adds free African Americans back into the historical narrative of Confederate nationalism and re-examines their role in the seceded states in detail. This dissertation asks how the presence of free people of color and Jews impacted Confederate nationalism. Did the presence of free African Americans and Jews sustain or hinder Confederate nationalism in Georgia, Virginia, and Louisiana during the Civil War?
Die Moorbrandkultur und der Buchweizenanbau als eine frühe Form der landwirtschaftlichen Hochmoornutzung in Nordwestdeutschland
The bog burning culture with buckwheat crop as an early form of agricultural use for bogs in North-Western Germany
Creators: name: Günther, Jürgen
Publisher: name: FID GEO
Year: 2012

description: Abstract: The development of the bog burning for food production on the raised bogs of Europe will be described using the example of buckwheat cultivation. The cultivation of buckwheat together with the bog burning on several thousand hectars every springtime till the end of May in some years even till the end of June resulted in a substantiable smoke and haze harassment which could be sensed over several hundreds until up to more than thousand kilometers afar. The “Nordwestdeutsche Verein gegen das Moorbrennen” (Northwest German Society against the bog burning) in Bremen donated already shortly after its foundation an award which was given to E. Birnbaum for his paper “Über das Moorbrennen und die Wege zu seiner Beseitigung” (On the bog burning and the means to its abolition) in 1873. In 1877 the “Preussische Moorversuchsstation” (Prussian Moor Research Station) was established in Bremen. This research institute became later as “Bodentechno logisches Institut” (Institute for Soil Technology) a part of the” Landesamt für Bergbau, Energie und Geologie” of the Federal State of Lower Saxony in Hanover till its closure in 2008. The research of this institute resulted in the development of the “Deutsche Hochmoorkultur”, a new method of agriculture on bogs, which replaced the bog burning in Germany after 1900. The use of buckwheat as a staple food for instance as groats and flour is mentioned as well as the rather new medical application as a remedy against problems with blood vessels and veins.
description: Zusammenfassung: Die Entwicklung der Moorbrandkultur zum Zwecke des Anbaues von Nahrungspflanzen auf den Hochmooren Europas wird am Beispiel des Buchweizens für Nordwestdeutschland geschildert. Der Buchweizenanbau und das damit verbundene Moorbrennen führte auf vielen tausend Hektar jedes Jahr vom Frühjahr bis Ende Mai, in manchen Jahren bis Mitte Juni, zu einer erheblichen Rauchbelästigung, die über viele hundert sogar bis über tausend Kilometer wahrgenommen wurde. Der „Nordwestdeutsche Verein gegen das Moorbrennen“ in Bremen lobte schon kurz nach seiner Gründung einen Preis aus, der im Jahr 1873 für die Arbeit von E. Birnbaum „Über das Moorbrennen und die Wege zu seiner Beseitigung“ vergeben wurde. 1877 wurde in der Hansestadt Bremen die Preußische Moorversuchsstation gegründet, die bis 2008 als Bodentechnologisches Institut des Landesamtes für Bergbau, Energie und Geologie des Landes Niedersachsen, Hannover in Bremen seinen Sitz hatte. Die Arbeiten dieses Institutes führten zur Entwicklung der „Deutschen Hochmoorkultur“, die um 1900 die Moorbrandkultur in Deutschland ablöste. Auf die Verwendung des Buchweizens als Grundnahrungsmittel, z. B. als Grütze und Mehl sowie neuerdings in der Heilkunde bei Gefäß- und Venenerkrankungen wird hingewiesen.

description: This letter considers a multi-pair decode-and-forward relay network where a power-splitting (PS) protocol is adopted at the energy-constrained relay to provide simultaneous wireless information and energy harvesting (EH). To achieve higher efficiency of EH, we propose a new PS-based EH architecture at the relay by incorporating an alternating current (AC) computing logic, which is employed to directly use the wirelessly harvested AC energy for computational blocks. Under a nonlinear EH circuit, our goal is to maximize the fairness of end-to-end rate among user pairs subject to power constraints, resulting in a nonconvex problem. We propose an iterative algorithm to achieve a suboptimal and efficient solution to this challenging problem by leveraging the inner approximation framework. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm outperforms the traditional direct current computing and other baseline schemes.

The Crossover Conflict: Creating a Framework for Combining Classical and Popular Music in the 21st Century
Creators: name: Garvin, Karyn E.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Given that most musical compositions are often influenced by other works, it is no surprise that classical and popular music should at times overlap, causing one of these genres to crossover into the other, thereby creating a whole new genre conveniently declared "crossover." Crossover is most commonly defined as when a mainstream pop artist decides to broaden his or her artistry by including elements of classical music, or a classically trained musician experiments with so-called lighter fare. Such a notion can be expanded, however, if crossover is examined more closely and assigned to different genres. Creating an advanced classification system for certain types of Classical Crossover can enhance the music education experience, allowing new generations to appreciate, and experiment with, classical music in new forms.

description: The paper focuses on the role of agricultural consulting in supporting environmental programs in farms of the Kujawy-Pomerania province. It analyzes the universality of implementation of the packages of sustainable agriculture (SA), as well as soil and water protection (SaWP) of the environmental management scheme (EMS) in the years 2004-2015. The analysis showed a little interest of farmers in the discussed environmental management activities. The tendency of farmers to participate in agricultural schemes of the CAP depends primarily on their impact on costs, revenues and earnings, as a result. Consulting services can reduce the transfer costs and encourage to use the instruments that affect the environment. The studies showed, however, that the lack of knowledge and skills to estimate the economic impact of the implementation of specific environmental packages in each group of farms, as well production and environmental motivation of farmers hinder effective consulting and efficient implementation of environmental programs.
Anomalous scaling behavior of the dynamical spin susceptibility of Ce$_{0.925}$La$_{0.075}$Ru$_{2}$Si$_{2}$

description: Inelastic neutron scattering measurements have been performed on single crystals of the heavy fermion compound Ce$_{0.925}$La$_{0.075}$Ru$_{2}$Si$_{2}$ in broad energy [0.1, 9.5 meV] and temperature [40 mK, 294 K] ranges in order to address the question of scaling behavior of the dynamical spin susceptibility at the quantum critical point of an itinerant magnetic system. For two wavevectors $\mathbf{Q}$ corresponding to uncorrelated and antiferromagnetically correlated spin fluctuations, it is found that the dynamical spin susceptibility $χ''(\mathbf{Q},E,T)$ is independent of temperature below a cut-off temperature $T_{\mathbf{Q}}$: the spin fluctuation amplitude saturates at low temperatures contrarily to its expected divergence at a quantum critical point. Above $T_{\mathbf{Q}}$, a $\mathbf{Q}$-dependent scaling behavior of the form $Tχ''(\mathbf{Q},E,T) = C_{\mathbf{Q}}f[E/(a_{\mathbf{Q}}T^{β_{\mathbf{Q}}})]$ with $β_{\mathbf{Q}}<1$ is obtained. This scaling does not enter the general framework of quantum phase transition theories, since it is obtained in a high temperature range, where Kondo spin fluctuations depend strongly on temperature.

The Influence of Depression on Romantic Jealousy: A Transactional Model Approach

description: Jealousy can have detrimental effects on romantic relationships (Crowe, 2004) and can lead to issues related to domestic abuse and violence (O'Leary, Slep, & O'Leary, 2007; Guerrero, Trost, Yoshimura, 2005; Guerrero, et al 1995; Wilson & Daly 1993; Daly, Wilson & Weghorst, 1982). Depression has also been shown to have negative effects on romantic relationships (Shannon & Hammen, 2002; Barnett & Gotlib, 1998; Gotlib & Wiffen, 1989); however, little is known about the influence of depression specifically on experiences of jealousy in the context of romantic relationships. In this study, we assess whether (1) individuals higher in depression appraise situations as more threatening and less controllable, (2) report to a greater degree that their coping goal is to maintain relationship rewards, (3) chose less adaptive coping strategies, (4) are more rigid in their coping strategy choices and (5) have greater negative emotional reactions to jealousy-evoking situations than those who have lower levels of depression. One hundred and fifty two college students completed questionnaires on depression, chronic jealousy, social desirability and relationship satisfaction. We devised vignettes of jealousy-evoking situations and compared these to vignettes of general romantic relationship conflict scenarios. Participants rated vignettes on projected appraisals, emotional responses, coping goals, and coping choice. Unique effects for jealousy-evoking situations were found for the relationship between depression and perceived stressfulness of the situations, self-criticism, and jealous emotional responses. Depression was positively associated to sense of personal responsibility and avoidant and passive emotion-focused coping choices for relationship conflict overall. Depression was generally not associated with coping goals or coping flexibility. Limitations and future directions for research are also discussed.
Explosive testing to assess dynamic load redistribution in a reinforced concrete frame building
Creators: name: Matthews, Timothy William
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Guidelines have been developed in the United States to assist in the design of buildings resistant to progressive collapse. These guidelines outline several methods for considering the effects of dynamic amplification on load redistribution following sudden member failure in a structure. Previous analytical studies have been performed to evaluate the consistency of these guidelines, but very little testing has been conducted to verify the guidelines and analytical work performed to date. This study investigates the dynamic load redistribution occurring in a field test on a two-storey reinforced concrete frame specimen. The test consisted of removing a column with explosives and recording the deformations of the remaining columns in the structure. The explosives removed the load-carrying capacity of the column but also exerted an upward force on the structure. Observations from the test suggest the building frame remained linear-elastic. A linear analytical model of the test specimen was developed in ETABS. This model effectively captured the response of the structure during testing. The model was used to examine the response of the test specimen due to gravity load redistribution alone, as well as the total response of the structure, including the effects of the upward force from the explosion. A dynamic amplification factor of 1.89 was observed for the columns where the majority of the gravity load redistributed during in the experimental test. This value supports the maximum dynamic amplification of 2.0 proposed for linear structures by previous research and progressive collapse assessment guidelines. The response at these columns was dominated by one mode of vibration. At columns where less steady-state load was redistributed, dynamic amplification factors much greater than 2.0 were observed, although the absolute peak axial force increases were relatively small. Higher modes influenced by cantilevers along one side of the structure contributed significantly to the peak demands at these locations. The upward explosive force magnified the peak demands on the structure from gravity load redistribution by as much as 68%. The upward explosive force was also observed to act unsymmetrically on the structure. These effects must be considered when considering column failures from explosives installed inside the member.

description: Fuzzy spaces are obtained by quantizing adjoint orbits of compact semi-simple Lie groups. Fuzzy spheres emerge from quantizing S^2 and are associated with the group SU(2) in this manner. They are useful for regularizing quantum field theories and modeling spacetimes by non-commutative manifolds. We show that fuzzy spaces are Hopf algebras and in fact have more structure than the latter. They are thus candidates for quantum symmetries. Using their generalized Hopf algebraic structures, we can also model processes where one fuzzy space splits into several fuzzy spaces. For example we can discuss the quantum transition where the fuzzy sphere for angular momentum J splits into fuzzy spheres for angular momenta K and L.

description: We consider a two-component system of Fermi atoms and molecular bosons in the vicinity of a Feshbash resonance. We derive an effective action for the system, which has a term describing coherent tunneling of the molecular bosons into Cooper pairs and vice versa. In the equilibrium state, global phase coherence may be destroyed by thermal or quantum phase fluctuations. In the non-equilibrium regime, the system may show an internal AC Josephson effect leading to real time oscillations in the number of molecular bosons.

description: In this note we study advection diffusion equations associated to incompressible $W^{1,p}$ velocity fields with $p>2$. We present new estimates on the energy dissipation rate and we discuss applications to the study of upper bounds on the enhancing dissipation rate, lower bounds on the $L^2$ norm of the density, and quantitative vanishing viscosity estimates. The key tools employed in our argument are a propagation of regularity result, coming from the study of transport equations, and a new result connecting the energy dissipation rate to regularity estimates for transport equations. Eventually we provide examples which underline the sharpness of our estimates.

description: Optical materials with vanishing dielectric permittivity, known as epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) materials, have been shown to possess enhanced nonlinear optical responses in their ENZ region. These strong nonlinear optical properties have been firmly established in homogeneous materials; however, it is as of yet unclear whether metamaterials with effective optical parameters can exhibit a similar enhancement. Here, we probe an optical ENZ metamaterial composed of a subwavelength periodic stack of alternating Ag and SiO$_2$ layers and measure a nonlinear refractive index $n_2 = (1.2 \pm 0.1) \times 10^{-12}$ m$^2$/W and nonlinear absorption coefficient $β= (-1.5 \pm 0.2) \times 10^{-5}$ m/W at its effective zero-permittivity wavelength. The measured $n_2$ is $10^7$ times larger than $n_2$ of fused silica and four times larger than that the $n_2$ of silver. We observe that the nonlinear enhancement in $n_2$ scales as $1/(n_0 \mathrm{Re}[n_0])$, where $n_0$ is the linear effective refractive index. As opposed to homogeneous ENZ materials, whose optical properties are dictated by their intrinsic material properties and hence are not widely tunable, the zero-permittivity wavelength of the demonstrated metamaterials may be chosen to lie anywhere within the visible spectrum by selecting the right thicknesses of the sub-wavelength layers. Consequently, our results offer the promise of a means to design metamaterials with large nonlinearities for applications in nanophotonics at any specified optical wavelength.

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: We use the fourth data release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey to investigate the orientations of 4289 satellite galaxies with respect to their hosts. The orientation of the satellites is inconsistent with a random distribution at the 99.94% confidence level, and the satellites show a preference for elongation in the direction of their hosts. Further, on scales < 50 kpc the major axes of the host galaxies and their satellites are preferentially aligned. Phrased in the terminology of weak lensing, the images of the satellites have a mean shear of gamma_T = -0.045 +/- 0.010, averaged over scales 10 kpc < r < 50 kpc. In a galaxy-galaxy lensing study where lenses and sources are separated solely on the basis of apparent magnitude, we estimate that on scales < 250 kpc satellite galaxies acount for between 10% and 15% of the objects that are identified as sources. In such studies, elongation of the satellites will cause a reduction of the galaxy-galaxy lensing shear by of order 25% to 40%. Hence, the elongation of satellite galaxies in the direction of their hosts is a potentially important effect for precision studies of galaxy-galaxy lensing and argues strongly in favor favor of the use of accurate photometric redshifts in order to identify lenses and sources in future studies.

description: 1975-78 wurden in 10 verschiedenen Moorgebieten des westlichen Alpenvorlandes (Baden-Württemberg) die Falterzönosen verschiedener Verlandungsstadien untersucht. Diese fünf Moorbiotoptypen beinhalten gut zu charakterisierende Faltergemeinschaften mit Arten, die durch stetes Auftreten in diesen Formationen bei gleichzeitiger Gefährdung für Maßnahmen des Schutzes der Biotope dieser Tiergruppe in Mooren zugrunde gelegt werden sollten. Viele Arten benötigen bestimmte Kombinationen von Habitaten, andere haben Populationen in verschiedenen Biotoptypen der Moore. Ebenso wichtig wie das floristische Inventar der Standorte ist die Struktur der Habitate. Durch bestimmte Formen der Extensiv-Nutzung vom geobotanischen Standpunkt "gestörte" Moorbiotope beherbergen aus verschiedenen Gründen ebenfalls hoch schutzwürdige Schmetterlingsfaunen. Vor dem Hintergrund der bereits weit fortgeschrittenen Vernichtung der Moorfauna in Nordwestdeutschland werden Vorschläge zur Rettung der noch vergleichsweise kräftigen Bestände bedrohter Arten in Baden-Württemberg gemacht.
description: In 1975-78 within ten peatlands of the landscape north-west of the Alps (Baden-Württemberg) the lepidopterous fauna of several stages of terrestrialisation was investigated. These five habitat types of peatland contain communities of lepidoptera species well to characterize because of their constant presence and at the same time threatened species on which activities for the conservation of this group should be based. Many species need certain habitat combinations, others have populations in several habitat types within the peatlands. As important as their floristic composition is the structure of the habitats. For several reasons - from the plant sociological point of view – also the "disturbed" peatland habitats contain numbers of seriously endangered lepidoptera species in consequence of certain forms of not-intensive land utilisation. Compared with the already far advanced destruction of the peatland fauna of Northwest Germany proposals are offered for the salvation of the comparatively still strongstocks of threatened peatland inhabiting species of Baden-Württemberg.

Through fifteen months of fieldwork carried out in Chandigarh, the capital city of Punjab, I look at how young Punjabi men belonging to landowning Jat Sikh families develop notions of masculinity and migration. In addition to the traditional gender norm Punjabi men are expected to follow such as getting an arranged marriage, having kids, and supporting their families, most of the men I interviewed characterized successful masculinity as the ability to migrate abroad and become transnational citizens.

description: We describe a possible scenario for the baryogenesis arising when matter is added on the branes of a Randall-Sundrum model with a radion stabilizing potential. We show that the radion field can naturally induce spontaneous baryogenesis when the cosmological evolution for the matter on the branes is taken into account.

description: We numerically compute light and polarisation curves of gamma-ray burst afterglows for various configurations of the jet luminosity structure and for different dynamical evolutions. We especially consider the standard homogeneous ``top hat'' jet and the ``universal structured jet'' with power-law wings. We also investigate a possible more physical variation of the ``top hat'' model: the ``Gaussian jet''. The polarisation curves for the last two jet types are shown here for the first time together with the computation of X-ray and radio polarised fluxes. We show that the lightcurves of the total flux from these configurations are very similar to each other, and therefore only very high quality data could allow us to pin down the underlying jet structure. We demonstrate instead that polarisation curves are a powerful means to solve the jet structure, since the predicted behaviour of polarisation and its position angle at times around the jet break are very different if not opposite. We conclude that the afterglow polarisation measurements provide clear footprints of any outflow energy distribution (unlike the lightcurves of the total flux) and the joint analysis of the total and polarised flux should reveal GRBs jet structure.

description: Evidence suggests mindfulness enhances empathy. This study aimed to identify relationships between mindfulness facets and empathic processes and to explore possible mediators of these relationships. Participants completed mindfulness and empathy questionnaires and a performance measure of empathic accuracy. Mindful observing and describing were positively related to empathic concern. Most facets of mindfulness were positively related to perspective taking and inversely related to personal distress, with the latter relationship partially mediated by brooding and fear of emotion. Nonreactivity related to empathic accuracy in the opposite direction as hypothesized. This study suggests most mindfulness facets are related positively with perspective-taking while nonreactivity relates inversely to empathic accuracy. Though findings are limited by the cross-sectional design, mindful observing may be important for the enhancement of empathic concern while all mindfulness facets aside from observing may serve to reduce distress perhaps in part by reducing brooding and fear of emotion.

Estimating galaxy cluster magnetic fields by the classical and hadronic minimum energy criterion

description: We wish to estimate magnetic field strengths of radio emitting galaxy clusters by minimising the non-thermal energy density contained in cosmic ray electrons (CRe), protons (CRp), and magnetic fields. The classical minimum energy estimate can be constructed independently of the origin of the radio synchrotron emitting CRe yielding thus an absolute minimum of the non-thermal energy density. Provided the observed synchrotron emission is generated by a CRe population originating from hadronic interactions of CRp with the ambient thermal gas of the intra-cluster medium, the parameter space of the classical scenario can be tightened by means of the hadronic minimum energy criterion. For both approaches, we derive the theoretically expected tolerance regions for the inferred minimum energy densities. Application to the radio halo of the Coma cluster and the radio mini-halo of the Perseus cluster yields equipartition between cosmic rays and magnetic fields within the expected tolerance regions. In the hadronic scenario, the inferred central magnetic field strength ranges from 2.4 muG (Coma) to 8.8 muG (Perseus), while the optimal CRp energy density is constrained to 2% +/- 1% of the thermal energy density (Perseus). We discuss the possibility of a hadronic origin of the Coma radio halo while current observations favour such a scenario for the Perseus radio mini-halo. Combining future expected detections of radio synchrotron, hard X-ray inverse Compton, and hadronically induced gamma-ray emission should allow an estimate of volume averaged cluster magnetic fields and provide information about their dynamical state.

description: kappa Pegasi is a well-known, nearby triple star system. It consists of a ``wide'' pair with semi-major axis 235 milli-arcseconds, one component of which is a single-line spectroscopic binary (semi-major axis 2.5 milli-arcseconds). Using high-precision differential astrometry and radial velocity observations, the masses for all three components are determined and the relative inclinations between the wide and narrow pairs' orbits is found to be 43.8 +/- 3.0 degrees, just over the threshold for the three body Kozai resonance. The system distance is determined to 34.60 +/- 0.21 parsec, and is consistent with trigonometric parallax measurements.

description: Many-body localization (MBL) has attracted significant attention due to its immunity to thermalization, role in logarithmic entanglement entropy growth, and opportunities to reach exotic quantum orders. However, experimental realization of MBL in solid-state systems has remained challenging. Here we report evidence of a possible phonon MBL phase in disordered GaAs/AlAs superlattices. Through grazing-incidence inelastic X-ray scattering, we observe a strong deviation of the phonon population from equilibrium in samples doped with ErAs nanodots at low temperature, signaling a departure from thermalization. This behavior occurs within finite phonon energy and wavevector windows, suggesting a localization-thermalization crossover. We support our observation by proposing a theoretical model for the effective phonon Hamiltonian in disordered superlattices, and showing that it can be mapped exactly to a disordered 1D Bose-Hubbard model with a known MBL phase. Our work provides momentum-resolved experimental evidence of phonon localization, extending the scope of MBL to disordered solid-state systems.
Ethnic Identity Predicts Eating Disorder Risk in White, Black, and Biracial Women

description: This study investigated the role of ethnic identity in eating disorder risk (EDR) among biracial women and whether they differed in ethnic identity compared to Black and White women. Depressive symptoms were also compared. One hundred two women completed measures of depression, EDR, and ethnic identity. Statistical analyses revealed that while Black and White women differed in ethnic identity, biracial women did not significantly differ from either group. Analyses revealed that ethnic identity was a significant predictor of EDR. There was a trend for ethnic identity as a negative predictor of body dissatisfaction (BD) in White and biracial women. Ethnic exploration negatively predicted BD and drive for thinness in biracial women. Depressive symptoms did not differ across groups. Ethnic identity was negatively predictive of depression symptoms only in Black women.
