description: The strong-property-fluctuation theory (SPFT) provides a general framework for estimating the constitutive parameters of a homogenized composite material (HCM). We developed the elastodynamic SPFT for orthotropic HCMs, in order to undertake numerical studies. A specific choice of two-point covariance function - which characterizes the distributional statistics of the generally ellipsoidal particles that constitute the component materials - was implemented. Representative numerical examples revealed that the lowest-order SPFT estimate of the HCM stiffness tensor is qualitatively similar to the estimate provided by the Mori-Tanaka mean-field formalism, but the differences between the two estimates vary as the orthotropic nature of the HCM is accentuated. The second-order SPFT provides a correction to the lowest-order estimate of the HCM stiffness tensor and density. The correction, indicating effective dissipation due to scattering loss, increases as the HCM becomes less orthotropic but decreases as the correlation length becomes smaller.

description: A neutral Dirac fermion is supplied as a singlet within the context of the standard model (SM) and is considered as a dark matter (DM) candidate near electroweak scale (10-1000 GeV) with nonzero magnetic dipole moment. The Dirac particles have four different types of electromagnetic couplings (four form factors) in general. We predict that the candidate mainly interacts with SM particles through magnetic dipole moment (MDM), since MDM conserves the discrete symmetries like parity (P), time reversal (T), and charge conjugation (C) or its combination CP. The magnetic dipole moment constrained by the relic density may be as large as 10^(-18)-10^(-17)e cm. We show that the elastic scattering is due to a spin-spin interaction for the direct detection, and the candidate with mass near electroweak scale is under experimental limits of the current direct detectors, XENON10 and CDMS II. We also consider the possibility of WIMP detection in near future.

The phonology of the dialects of England
Creators: name: Sándi, Gábor
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The dialects of England can be classified into three main groups: standard, urban and rural dialects. Rural dialects exhibit the greatest divergence from standard speech as well as showing the greatest variation among themselves. Geographically, rural dialects are grouped into three main regions: those of the South, of the Midlands and of the North. The concept of diaphonemes is needed for a simple description of the phonologies of individual dialects. They are also necessary for an adequate method of comparison between dialects. Diaphonemic merger or split in synchronic grammar corresponds to phonetic merger or split in diachronic grammar. Thus the diaphonemic contrasts /e:/ vs. /ei/, /o:/ vs. /ou/ present in some rural dialects (mostly in the west of England) exist wherever the Middle English (ME) phonemes /a:/ and /ai/; /o:/and /ou/, respectively, did not merge in early Modern English. Other important developments in standard English not shared by all dialects include the raising of /a/ to [æ], the unrounding and lowering of ME /u/ to /^/, the diphthongization of /u:/ to /au/, the rounding of /a/ to /o/ after /w/, the lengthening of /a/ to /a:/ when followed by voiceless fricatives, the merger of ME /ε:/ with /e:/ and the loss of /r/ finally and before consonants. On the other hand, there are often dialectal developments absent from the standard language. These include the widespread loss of /h/, the voicing of initial voiceless fricatives in south-western England and such local changes as the South Yorkshire diphthongization of ME /o:/ and /o:/ to /oi/ and /ui/, respectively. Sound changes do not usually happen in isolation. The study of the phonologies of individual dialects reveals the inter-dependency of most sound changes - due mostly to a tendency in people to keep different phonemes apart in pronunciation and to maintain existing symmetries.

description: Cette thèse de doctorat analyse les relations entre dépenses publiques d’éducation et de santé et niveau de développement humain dans les pays de l’UEMOA où des progrès limités ont été observés en matière de développement humain entre 1990 et 2015 et où peu d’études existent sur l’analyse de ces relations. Elle combine une analyse d’efficacité et d’efficience des dépenses d’éducation et de santé dans l’UEMOA avec une étude de cas sur le Bénin et le Togo. L’efficacité des dépenses a été analysée avec la méthode du common correlated effects pooled (CCEP) appliquée à un modèle à correction d’erreur (ECM). L’efficience est analysée à l’aide de la méthode DEA avec l’indice de Malmquist et une régression tronquée. Des données de dépenses publiques désagrégées (personnel, fonctionnement, transfert, et investissement) collectées auprès des institutions publiques au Bénin et au Togo sont utilisées dans l’analyse d’efficience. Les contributions de la thèse sont d’ordre méthodologique et empirique. Sur le plan méthodologique, il n’existe pas, à notre connaissance, d’étude ayant appliqué un modèle CCEP au modèle ECM pour estimer les effets de court et de long terme des dépenses d’éducation et de santé dans l’UEMOA. Aussi, la combination d’approches qualitative et quantitative dans l’analyse d’efficience des dépenses au Bénin et au Togo est une contribution, mettant en évidence les interdépendances entre les facteurs. Sur le plan empirique, la thèse met en évidence que les dépenses d’éducation et de santé par tête n’ont pas d’effet significatif dans les pays de l’UEMOA sur l’indice de développement humain, le taux brut de scolarisation primaire, de même que le taux de mortalité des moins de 5 ans, donc une absence de tendance régionale. Par contre, les dépenses de santé par tête ont un effet positif sur le PIB par tête dans l’UEMOA. Les facteurs comme le niveau de corruption, l’inflation, l’aide en pourcentage du PIB ont un effet négatif sur l’efficience des dépenses au Bénin et au Togo. L’étude comparative entre ces deux pays permet d’établir l’importance du ciblage de groupes en situation de vulnérabilité dont notamment les enfants, les filles et les femmes. Le ciblage, mais aussi l’ampleur des mesures de ciblage dans les politiques d’éducation et de santé sont des leviers importants dans l’amélioration des indicateurs de développement humain dans ces pays. Les résultats suggèrent aux décideurs politiques de ces pays de privilégier des mesures de ciblage, d’améliorer la qualité des institutions ainsi que la définition et la mise en œuvre des politiques dans l’éducation et la santé pour accélérer les progrès en matière de développement humain.

description: Presentation Abstract

As data archive and file sizes continue to grow, challenges for accessing and using those data become more prevalent. At the end of FY22 NASA's Earth Science Data Systems (ESDS) reported an archive volume of 72 PB of data with growth projections exceeding 600 PB by 2029. Along with the extreme data volumes and projected growth, migration of data to the cloud further complicates the use of NASA's Earth science data by the science community and beyond. A current user workflow for accessing NASA Earth science data typically includes data download with analysis and visualization on local computers. Cloud migration and larger datasets challenge the scalability of the approach above, but optimizing user workflows to leverage cloud capabilities presents a barrier that can be difficult to overcome. The Visualization, Exploration, and Data Analysis (VEDA) platform is designed to abstract these complexities from the end user and lower the barrier to entry to these large data volumes and complex datasets. VEDA is an open-source platform for data exploration, visualization, and analysis. Dynamic visualization services provided by VEDA are also compatible with geographic information system (GIS)-based services. The front-end capabilities of the VEDA platform includes a dashboard that allows users to visually explore geospatial data, perform basic statistical analysis, and learn from subject matter experts on how the data is used to better understand the Earth system. Through these Data Stories scientists are able to communicate interesting insights about the data at a level that can be understood by students and the general public, and are meant to inspire further data exploration. Data Stories come with Jupyter notebooks that provide recipes to novice users on how to access and analyze the data discussed in the data story. The VEDA platform also includes a JupyterHub where users can execute these notebooks in the cloud and modify them for different types of analysis or geographic areas of interest. This presentation will provide a demonstration of the capabilities available through the VEDA platform and how they can be leveraged for educational workshops, enabling science in the cloud, and fostering open science.

description: In this paper we construct the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formulations of N=4 supersymmetric systems describing the motion of an isospin particle on a conformally flat four-manifold with SO(4) isometry carrying the non-Abelian field of a BPST instanton. The conformal factor can be specified to yield various particular systems, such as superconformally invariant mechanics as well as a particle on the four-sphere, the pseudosphere or on R x S^3. The isospin degrees of freedom arise as bosonic components of an additional fermionic N=4 supermultiplet, whose other components are rendered auxiliary by a nonlocal redefinition. Our on-shell component action coincides with the one recently proposed in arXiv:0912.3289.

description: It is known in previous literature that if a Wess-Zumino model with an R-symmetry gives a supersymmetric vacuum, the superpotential vanishes at the vacuum. In this work, we establish a formal notion of genericity, and show that if the R-symmetric superpotential has generic coefficients, the superpotential vanishes term-by-term at a supersymmetric vacuum. This result constrains the form of the superpotential which leads to a supersymmetric vacuum. It may contribute to a refined classification of R-symmetric Wess-Zumino models, and find applications in string constructions of vacua with small superpotentials. A similar result for a scalar potential system with a scaling symmetry is discussed.

Do Academic and Private Entrepreneurs differ? An empirical analysis of the Micro-Foundation of Entrepreneurial Orientation

Subjects: SECS-P/08 Economia e gestione delle imprese

description: This Doctoral Thesis focuses on the study of individual behaviours as a result of
organizational affiliation. The objective is to assess the Entrepreneurial Orientation of individuals
proving the existence of a set of antecedents to that measure returning a structural model of its
micro-foundation. Relying on the developed measurement model, I address the issue whether some
Entrepreneurs experience different behaviours as a result of their academic affiliation, comparing a
sample of ‘Academic Entrepreneurs’ to a control sample of ‘Private Entrepreneurs’ affiliated to a
matched sample of Academic Spin-offs and Private Start-ups.
Building on the Theory of the Planned Behaviour, proposed by Ajzen (1991), I present a
model of causal antecedents of Entrepreneurial Orientation on constructs extensively used and
validated, both from a theoretical and empirical perspective, in sociological and psychological
studies. I focus my investigation on five major domains: (a) Situationally Specific Motivation, (b)
Personal Traits and Characteristics, (c) Individual Skills, (d) Perception of the Business
Environment and (e) Entrepreneurial Orientation Related Dimensions.
I rely on a sample of 200 Entrepreneurs, affiliated to a matched sample of 72 Academic
Spin-offs and Private Start-ups. Firms are matched by Industry, Year of Establishment and
Localization and they are all located in the Emilia Romagna region, in northern Italy. I’ve gathered
data by face to face interviews and used a Structural Equation Modeling technique (Lisrel 8.80,
Joreskog, K., & Sorbom, D. 2006) to perform the empirical analysis.
The results show that Entrepreneurial Orientation is a multi-dimensional micro-founded
construct which can be better represented by a Second-Order Model. The t-tests on the latent means
reveal that the Academic Entrepreneurs differ in terms of: Risk taking, Passion, Procedural and
Organizational Skills, Perception of the Government, Context and University Supports. The
Structural models also reveal that the main differences between the two groups lay in the predicting
power of Technical Skills, Perceived Context Support and Perceived University Support in
explaining the Entrepreneurial Orientation Related Dimensions.

description: The Latin American Giant Observatory (LAGO) is a distributed cosmic ray observatory at a regional scale in Latin America, by deploying a large network of Water Cherenkov detectors (WCD) and other astroparticle detectors in a wide range of latitudes from Antarctica to México, and altitudes from sea level to more than 5500 m a.s.l. Detectors telemetry, atmospherics conditions and flux of secondary particles at the ground are measured with extreme detail at each LAGO site by using our own-designed hardware and firmware (ACQUA). To combine and analyse all these data, LAGO developed ANNA, our data analysis framework. Additionally, ARTI, a complete framework of simulations designed to simulate the expected signals at our detectors coming from primary cosmic rays entering the Earth atmosphere, allowing a precise characterization of the sites in realistic atmospheric, geomagnetic and detector conditions. As the measured and synthetic data started to flow, we are facing challenging scenarios given a large amount of data emerging, performed on a diversity of detectors and computing architectures and e-infrastructures. These data need to be transferred, analyzed, catalogued, preserved, and provided for internal and public access and data-mining under an open e-science environment. In this work, we present the implementation of ARTI at the EOSC-Synergy cloud-based services as the first example of LAGO' frameworks that will follow the FAIR principles for provenance, data curation and re-using of data. For this, we calculate the flux of secondary particles expected in up to 1 week at detector level for all the 26 LAGO, and the 1-year flux of high energy secondaries expected at the ANDES Underground Laboratory and other sites. Therefore, we show how this development can help not only LAGO but other data-intensive cosmic rays observatories, muography experiments and underground laboratories.

description: Bipartite networks composed of dichotomous node sets are ubiquitous in nature and society. Partly for simplicity's sake, many studies have focused on their projection onto their unipartite versions where one only needs to care about a single type of node. When it comes to mesoscale structures such as communities, however, properly incorporating a priori structural restrictions such as bipartivity is ever more important. In this paper, as a case study, we take the community structure of bipartite networks in various scales to examine the amount of information of bipartivity encoded in the community detection procedure. In particular, we report the robustness in reliability of detected community based on consistency by comparing the detection algorithm with or without the consideration of bipartivity. From the analysis with model networks embedding prescribed communities and real networks, we find that the community detection tailored to take the bipartivity into account clearly yields more robust community structures than the one without such structural information. This demonstrates the necessity for customizing the community detection algorithm by encoding whatever information is known about networks of interest and, at the same time, raises an interesting question on the possibility of estimating the quantitative amount of information from such a customization.

Quantum dislocations: the fate of multiple vacancies in two dimensional solid 4He

description: Defects are believed to play a fundamental role in the supersolid state of 4He. We have studied solid 4He in two dimensions (2D) as function of the number of vacancies n_v, up to 30, inserted in the initial configuration at rho = 0.0765 A^-2, close to the melting density, with the exact zero temperature Shadow Path Integral Ground State method. The crystalline order is found to be stable also in presence of many vacancies and we observe two completely different regimes. For small n_v, up to about 6, vacancies form a bound state and cause a decrease of the crystalline order. At larger n_v, the formation energy of an extra vacancy at fixed density decreases by one order of magnitude to about 0.6 K. In the equilibrated state it is no more possible to recognize vacancies because they mainly transform into quantum dislocations and crystalline order is found almost independent on how many vacancies have been inserted in the initial configuration. The one--body density matrix in this latter regime shows a non decaying large distance tail: dislocations, that in 2D are point defects, turn out to be mobile, their number is fluctuating, and they are able to induce exchanges of particles across the system mainly triggered by the dislocation cores. These results indicate that the notion of incommensurate versus commensurate state loses meaning for solid 4He in 2D, because the number of lattice sites becomes ill defined when the system is not commensurate. Crystalline order is found to be stable also in 3D in presence of up to 100 vacancies.

Low temperature Rosseland opacities with varied abundances of carbon and nitrogen

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2008

description: We attempt to produce low temperature opacity data incorporating the effects of varied abundances of the elements carbon and nitrogen. For our temperature range of interest, molecules represent the dominant opacity source. Our dataset covers a wide metallicity range and is meant to provide important input data for stellar evolution models and other applications. We conduct chemical equilibrium calculations to evaluate the partial pressures of neutral atoms, ions, and molecules. Based on a large dataset containing atomic line and continuum data and, most importantly, a plethora of molecular lines, we calculate Rosseland mean opacity coefficients not only for a number of different metallicities, but also for varied abundances of the isotopes ^{12}C and ^{14}N at each metallicity. The molecular data comprise the main opacity sources for either an oxygen-rich or carbon-rich chemistry. We tabulate the opacity coefficients as a function of temperature and, basically, density. Due to the special role of the CO molecule, within a certain chemistry regime an alteration to the carbon abundance causes considerable changes in the Rosseland opacity. The transition from a scaled solar (i. e. oxygen-rich) mixture to a carbon-rich regime results in opacities that can, at low temperatures, differ by orders of magnitude from to the initial situation. The reason is that the mean opacity in either case is due to different molecular absorbers. Variations in the abundance of nitrogen have less pronounced effects but, nevertheless, cannot be neglected. [abridged]

description: Equations describing the evolution of particles, solitons, or localized structures, driven by a zero-average, periodic, external force, and invariant under time reversal and a half-period time shift, exhibit a ratchet current when the driving force breaks these symmetries. The bi-harmonic force $f(t)=ε_1\cos(q ωt+ϕ_1)+ε_2\cos(pωt+ϕ_2)$ does it for almost any choice of $ϕ_{1}$ and $ϕ_{2}$, provided $p$ and $q$ are two co-prime integers such that $p+q$ is odd. It has been widely observed, in experiments in Josephson-junctions, photonic crystals, etc., as well as in simulations, that the ratchet current induced by this force has the shape $v\proptoε_1^pε_2^q\cos(p ϕ_{1} - q ϕ_{2} + θ_0)$ for small amplitudes, where $θ_0$ depends on the damping ($θ_0=π/2$ if there is no damping, and $θ_0=0$ for overdamped systems). We rigorously prove that this precise shape can be obtained solely from the broken symmetries of the system and is independent of the details of the equation describing the system.

description: More efficient water treatment technologies would decrease the water bodies’ pollution and the actual intake of water resource. The aim of this thesis is an in-depth analysis of the magnetic separation of pollutants from water by means of a continuous-flow magnetic filter subjected to a field gradient produced by permanent magnets. This technique has the potential to improve times and efficiencies of both urban wastewater treatment plants and drinking water treatment plants. It might also substitute industrial wastewater treatments. This technique combines a physico-chemical phase of adsorption and a magnetic phase of filtration, having the potential to bond magnetite with any conventional adsorbent powder. The removal of both Magnetic Activated Carbons (MACs) and zeolite-magnetite mix with the addition of a coagulant was investigated. Adsorption tests of different pollutants (surfactants, endocrine disruptors, Fe(III), Mn(II), Ca(II)) on these adsorbents were also performed achieving good results. The numerical results concerning the adsorbent removals well reproduced the experimental ones obtained from two different experimental setups. In real situations the treatable flow rates are up to 90 m3/h (2000 m3/d).

description: The Kokuryûkai was founded in 1901 to foster the outbreak of a Russo-Japanese War. For these sake, the members of the society started spying in Korea, Manchuria, China and even Russia and prepared the image of a despotic and weak country, which would not be able to counter Japanese aspirations on the Asian mainland anymore. In 1895 the Triple Intervention under Russian leadership had finished the Japanese dreams of getting the Liaodong peninsula as a compensation for the Sino-Japanese War. And just some years later as a consequence of the Boxer Rebellion Russia seized Manchuria and was not willing to negotiate about its abandonment. Finally, the Japanese nationalists saw no alternative than founding another secret society to prepare the Japanese army and public for war. Due to this, information about the possible opponent needed to be collected and an anti-Russian propaganda campaign was started by the members. This made Russia the enemy number one and many publications like Uchida Ryôhei's Roshiaron started to provide a negative image of the future enemy on the battlefield for Asian hegemony. An article will outline the establishment of this anti-Russian image by analyzing the measures of the Kokuryûkai members from its foundation until the outbreak of the Russo-Japanese War in 1904.

description: We consider the interaction between dark matter and dark energy in the framework of holographic dark energy, and propose a natural and physically plausible form of interaction, in which the interacting term is proportional to the product of the powers of the dark matter and dark energy densities. We investigate the cosmic evolution in such models. The impact of the coupling on the dark matter and dark energy components may be asymmetric. While the dark energy decouples from the dark matter at late time, just as other components of the cosmic fluid become decoupled as the universe expands, interestingly, the dark matter may actually become coupled to the dark energy at late time. We shall name such a phenomenon as "incoupling". We use the latest type Ia supernovae data from the SCP team, baryon acoustics oscillation data from SDSS and 2dF surveys, and the position of the first peak of the CMB angular power spectrum to constrain the model. We find that the interaction term which is proportional to the the first power product of the dark energy and dark matter densities gives excellent fit to the current data.

description: We present an exact formula for moments and cumulants of several real compound Wishart matrices in terms of an Euler characteristic expansion, similar to the genus expansion for complex random matrices. We consider their asymptotic values in the large matrix limit: as in a genus expansion, the terms which survive in the large matrix limit are those with the greatest Euler characteristic, that is, either spheres or collections of spheres. This topological construction motivates an algebraic expression for the moments and cumulants in terms of the symmetric group. We examine the combinatorial properties distinguishing the leading order terms. By considering higher cumulants, we give a central limit-type theorem for the asymptotic distribution around the expected value.

description: We compute the finite temperature density response function of nonrelativistic cold fermions with an isotropic condensate. The pair-breaking contribution to the response function is evaluated in the limit of small three-momentum transfers q within an effective theory which exploits series expansion in powers of small q/p_F, where p_F is the Fermi momentum. The leading order O(q^2) contribution is universal and depends only on two fundamental scales, the Fermi energy and the pairing gap. The particle-hole Landau Fermi-liquid interaction contributes first at the next-to-leading-order O(q^4). The scattering contribution to the polarization tensor is nonperturbative (in the above sense) and is evaluated numerically. The spectral functions of density fluctuations are constructed and the relevance of the q^2 scaling for the pair-breaking neutrino emission from neutron stars is discussed.

description: Experimental progress finally reached the metallic solid hydrogen phase, which was predicted by Wigner and Huntington over 80 years ago. However, the different structures in the phase diagram are still been debated due to the difficulty of diffraction experiments for high-pressured hydrogen. The determination of crystal structures under extreme condition is both of the basic condensed matter physics, and in planetary science: the behavior of giant gaseous planets (e.g. Jupiter, Saturn...) strongly depends on the properties of inner high-pressured hydrogen. This work describes new possible structures appearing under high pressures of 400$\sim$600 GPa. We applied a structural search using particle swarm optimization with density functional theory (DFT) to propose several candidate structures. For these structures, we performed fixed-node diffusion Monte Carlo simulations combined with DFT zero-point energy corrections to confirm their relative stability. We found $P2_{1}/c$-8 as a promising candidate structure for the H$_2$-PRE phase. $P2_{1}/c$-8 is predicted the most stable at 400 and 500~GPa. $P2_{1}/c$-8 reproduces qualitatively the IR spectrum peaks observed in the H$_2$-PRE phase.
The targum (1971:Oct. 1 - 1971:Oct. 29)
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: Targum Association
Year: 1971

description: Some University historians indicate that the Targum was first published as an annual in 1867, but of this we have no extant evidence. In January 1869, the Targum as we now know it, made its appearance as a monthly paper that concerned itself with student “literary contributions” and college news as well as serving as a vehicle for bringing news to alumni and the general public. The newspaper, which originally was for sale, varied in frequency over the years as did its title (The Targum, Rutgers Targum, Rutgers Daily Targum, and Daily Targum). The newspaper has continuously been published since 1869 with the exception of 19 months during the second world war, between February 1944 and October 1945. The Targum was published by the students of Rutgers College, and later Rutgers University—New Brunswick represented through the years as the Targum Association, Rutgers Targum Association, and Rutgers College Targum. As a student organization, the Targum operated under the oversight of the dean of students and student government but in October 1980, the Targum became an independent college paper.

description: Objective: To construct an analytical model instead of local effect modeling for the prediction of the biological effectiveness of nanoparticle radiosensitization. Approach: An extended local effects model is first proposed with a more comprehensive description of the nanoparticles mediated local killing enhancements, but meanwhile puts forward challenging issues that remain difficult and need to be further studied. As a novel method instead of local effect modeling, a survival modification framework of compound Poisson additive killing is proposed, as the consequence of an independent additive killing by the assumed equivalent uniform doses of individual nanoparticles per cell under the LQ model. A compound Poisson killing (CPK)model based on the framework is thus derived, giving a general expression of nanoparticle mediated LQ parameter modification. For practical use, a simplified form of the model is also derived, as a concentration dependent correction only to the α parameter, with the relative correction (alpha"/alpha)) dominated by the mean number, and affected by the agglomeration of nanoparticles per cell. For different agglomeration state, a monodispersion model of the dispersity factor η=1, and an agglomeration model of 2/3

Electron Losses in Hypersonic Flows

description: The first comprehensive study of electron gains and losses in hypersonic air flows including the full coupling between the non-neutral plasma sheaths and the quasi-neutral plasma flow is here presented. Such is made possible by the use of advanced numerical methods that overcome the stiffness associated with the plasma sheaths. The coupling between the sheaths, the electron temperature in non-equilibrium, and the ambipolar diffusion within the quasi-neutral plasma flow is found to be critical to predict accurately electron losses and, thus, plasma density around hypersonic vehicles. This is because electron cooling coming from the non-neutral sheaths affects significantly electron temperature everywhere in the plasma and, therefore, the electron-temperature-dependent loss processes of ambipolar diffusion and dissociative recombination. Results obtained show that electron loss to the surface due to catalyticity dominates over electron loss within the plasma due to dissociative recombination either (i) at high altitude where the dynamic pressure is low, or (ii) at low Mach number, or (iii) when the vehicle has a sharp leading edge.

The nature and extent of antimilitarism and pacifism in the Netherlands from 1918 to 1940 and the degree to which they contributed to the quick defeat in May 1940.

description: After May 1940 a national soul searching took place in the Netherlands to uncover the reasons for the quick defeat at the hands of the Germans. One of the reasons frequently mentioned was the antimilitaristic and pacifistic mentality permeating large parts of Dutch society during the twenties and early thirties. But no serious investigation was ever undertaken to prove or disprove this claim. This dissertation attempts to discover the degree to which antimilitarism and pacifism weakened the national will to resist an invasion in general and undermined the combat efficiency of the armed forces in particular. To determine the nature and extent of antimilitarism the wealth of contemporary pamphlets, newspapers and documents in the International Institute for Social History in Amsterdam and in the Peace Palace in the Hague were used. Antimilitarists and pacifists were categorized into five main groups: social democrats, those further left (anarchists, communists, syndicalists, etc.), religious groups, certain middle class groups including two major women organizations, and youths. The size of each category, its political and economic strength, and the extent each was able to influence Dutch society as a whole are described as accurately as possible. Information on the effect of antimilitaristic propaganda on the armed forces was obtained from documents and reports in the military Central Archive Depot in the Hague, the military archives in Schaarsbergen, the Sectie Krijgsge- schiedenis of the army, and the reports of the Central Intelligence Service. The conclusions reached were that in the early twenties antimilitarists were strong enough to force considerable reductions in the size of the conscripted army and the length of its service. Until the later thirties antimilitarists were influential enough to prevent an increase in the size of the armed forces and to block the allocation of sufficient funds for modernizations of material and weapons. Antimilitaristic propaganda was extensive and persuasive enough to convince a large segment of the population that the military forces were a useless and dangerous extravagance of a by-gone era. Professional soldiers were laughed at and as a result their morale was low and their efficiency slight. Conscripts were indifferent or belligerent and tried to do as little as possible during their tour of duty. The result was that training, discipline, skill and morale were insufficient and below standard. Since arms and equipment were also of an inferior quality and in short supply the Dutch forces, and specifically the army, quickly collapsed when the Germans invaded. Antimilitarism was not the sole cause of the Dutch defeat but it was the main reason for the rapidity of the defeat of the Netherlands.
