description: We calculate logarithmic corrections to the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy for three-dimensional BTZ black hole with J=0 and Kerr-de Sitter (KdS) space with J=0 including the Schwarzschild-de Sitter (SdS) solution due to thermal fluctuations. It is found that there is no distinction between the event horizon of the BTZ black hole and the cosmological horizon of KdS space. We obtain the same correction to the Cardy formula for BTZ, KdS, and SdS cases. We discuss AdS/CFT and dS/ECFT correspondences in connection with logarithmic corrections.

subject: Soybean price, Volatility spillover effect, Domestic and international markets, Market risk

description: Sharp fluctuation of soybean prices in international and domestic markets has caused big risks for both domestic soybean producers and processing enterprises in recent years. It also increases the difficulties in implementing price stabilization policy for the government. This paper analyzes the volatility spillovers in soybean prices between international and domestic markets using the multivariate VAR-BEKK-GARCH model based on the data set from the December 22, 2004 to December 19, 2014. The estimate results indicate that there are volatility spillover effects from domestic futures market to spot market and bilateral spillover between international futures market and domestic spot market. In order to prevent market manipulation and to reduce the impacts of price volatility in international soybean market on Chinese market, this paper proposes the following policy measures such as establishing early warning mechanism for soybean price fluctuations, improving soybean futures contract design and strengthening trading risk management mechanism, amplifying information disclosure system, and regularizing speculation activities of big traders.

description: This paper analyzes the citrus input-output efficiency by using the DEA-Malmquist productivity index methods based on the data of six counties in Jiangxi Province from 2010 to 2013. The result shows that TFP of Jiangxi citrus is at low level overall, but the development is rapid. Technological progress is the driving force to promote productivity growth. Based on the static analysis study of six counties in 2013, it is found that the available input factors on the whole are in an ideal condition, and the citrus input factors in a few counties are redundant. Therefore, according to the results, the following policy recommendations are proposed: speeding up the intensive production of citrus in Jiangxi Province, to maximize the scale effect; adjusting the input ratio of various factors of production, so as to improve the citrus input-output efficiency.

Risk-seeking and the time delay to punishment as a function of crime type
Creators: name: Jones, Clark Edward
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This study examined subgroups of criminal offenders based on three crime-type categories: first-degree murderers, second-degree murderers and non-violent offenders. Ninety-nine male African-Americans from a medium security correctional institution (25 first-degree murders, 23 second-degree murders and 51 non-violent offenders) served as subjects. All subjects read four vignettes in which the main character committed an act that could lead to punishment. Subjects were required to indicate on a visual analogue scale how likely it was that the main character in the story would engage in a punishable behavior if the punishment was: (a) immediate and certain; (b) delayed and certain; (c) immediate and probabilistic (p = 0.5) or (d) delayed and probabilistic. Mean values of the responses for each crime type indicated that non-violent offenders were more likely than first- or second-degree murderers to engage in a punishable behavior. These mean values also suggest that non-violent offenders discount punishment at lower rates. A discriminant analysis indicated that a combination of six variables predicted group membership. A trait describing a materialistic risk taker distinguished non-violent offenders from the other two groups.

The results are B(KL -> pi e nu) = 0.4067 +- 0.0011 B(KL -> pi mu nu) = 0.2701 +- 0.0009 B(KL -> pi+ pi- pi0) = 0.1252 +- 0.0007 B(KL -> pi0 pi0 pi0) = 0.1945 +- 0.0018 B(KL -> pi+ pi-) = (1.975 +- 0.012)E-3, and B(KL -> pi0 pi0) = (0.865 +- 0.010)E-3, where statistical and systematic errors have been summed in quadrature. We also determine the CP violation parameter |eta+-| to be (2.228 +- 0.010)E-3. Several of these results are not in good agreement with averages of previous measurements.

description: Multiple quantum well structures of PbS/PbSe layers were grown on (111)-oriented BaF$\sb2$ substrates using hot-wall epitaxy. These structures were characterized using Auger electron spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy and x-ray diffraction. Angle resolved XPS showed that the PbS interdiffused into the PbSe approximately 30 A in 30 minutes at 300 C. The Rutherford backscattering measurements revealed that the interdiffusion at the PbS/PbSe interface is small and quantitatively similar to the interdiffusion of PbS on the BaF$\sb2$ substrate. Depth profiling Auger electron spectroscopy of a multiple quantum well structure confirmed the modulation of its composition along the sample's thickness. Though it was expected that the thin layers of the PbS and PbSe constituting the structures would be strained due to the lattices mismatch between these two materials ($\Delta$a$\sb{\rm o}$/a$\sb{\rm o}$ = 0.03), no indication of this strain could be established from the x-ray diffraction data. The energy band alignment at the PbSe/PbS interface was determined to be of the type I with a conduction energy band offset $\Delta$E$\sb{\rm c}$ = 48 meV. This was done by studying the thermal activation behavior of the photocurrent of a Pb-PbS/PbSe based Schottky structure. The magnetotransport properties of PbS/PbSe multiple quantum wells was studied in a temperature range 280 $<$ T $<$ 4.2. The magnetic field dependence of the Hall voltage indicates the presence of two types of carriers with different mobilities in the samples. This was explained by proposing a quantum well energy level structure with different electrical sub bands on the wells which arise from the multivalley band structure and the effective mass anisotropy found in bulk PbSe and PbS.

These reductions yield four and five-dimensional de Sitter supergravities, albeit with wrong sign kinetic terms. We also demonstrate that the ansatze may be used to lift multi-centered de Sitter black hole solutions to ten and eleven dimensions. The lifted dS_5 black holes correspond to rotating E4-branes of IIB* theory.

description: We investigated spin-orbit torques in prototypical Pt-based spintronic devices. We found that, in Pt/Ni and Pt/Fe bilayers, the damping-like torque efficiency depends on the thickness of the Pt layer. We also found that the damping-like torque efficiency is almost identical in the Pt/Ni and Pt/Fe bilayers despite the stronger spin memory loss at the Pt/Fe interface. These results suggest that although the dominant source of the damping-like torque is the bulk spin Hall effect in the Pt layer, a sizable damping-like torque is generated by the interface in the Pt/Fe bilayer due to the stronger interfacial spin-orbit coupling. In contrast to the damping-like torque, whose magnitude and sign are almost identical in the Pt/Ni and Pt/Fe bilayers, the field-like torque strongly depends on the choice of the ferromagnetic layer. The sign of the field-like torque originating from the bulk spin Hall effect in the Pt layer is opposite between the Pt/Ni and Pt/Fe bilayers, which can be attributed to the opposite sign of the imaginary part of the spin-mixing conductance. These results demonstrate that the spin-orbit torques are quite sensitive to the electronic structure of the FM layer.

An examination of Aristotle's concept of eudaemonia in consideration of its potential for use in the life support decision-making process in terminal illness
Creators: name: Rothman, Juliet Cassuto
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Recent developments in life-support technology have made possible choices unknown a brief generation ago. These choices have raised ethical questions regarding the value and meaning of a human life that have eluded simple answers. The field of bioethics has attempted to deal with life-support and other similar issues through the use of principles to guide decision-making. Autonomy and beneficence have been utilized as appropriate principles in addressing life-support issues. However, it is shown that little guidance can be obtained from these principles alone, for there is no manner of prioritizing them, and their formality impedes application in specific circumstances. To resolve these difficulties, the need for a theory of human nature is presented. Aristotle's theory is selected as it is related to the values underlying the chosen principles of autonomy and beneficence, is capable of resolving the difficulty in applying them, and is both universal and flexible in permitting adaptation to specific situations. Three case studies with very different circumstances demonstrate the use of an assessment structure developed from Aristotle's theory. These demonstrate the adaptability and flexibility of the assessment structure that is developed. Suggestions are given for optimal use of the assessment.

Investigating the Origins of Dark Matter Halo Density Profiles

description: Although high-resolution N-body simulations make robust empirical predictions for the density distribution within cold dark matter halos, these studies have yielded little physical insight into the origins of the distribution. We investigate the problem using analytic and semi-analytic approaches. Simple analytic considerations suggest that the inner slope of dark matter halos cannot be steeper than alpha=2 (rho ~ r^-alpha), with alpha=1.5-1.7 being a more realistic upper limit. Our analysis suggests that any number of effects, both real (angular momentum from tidal torques, secondary perturbations) and artificial (two-body interactions, the accuracy of the numerical integrator, round-off errors), will result in shallower slopes. We also find that the halos should exhibit a well-defined relation between r_peri/r_apo and j_theta/j_r. We derive this relation analytically and speculate that it may be "universal". Using a semi-analytic scheme based on Ryden & Gunn (1987), we further explore the relationship between the specific angular momentum distribution in a halo and its density profile. For now we restrict ourselves to halos that form primarily via nearly-smooth accretion of matter, and only consider the specific angular momentum generated by secondary perturbations associated with the cold dark matter spectrum of density fluctuations. Compared to those formed in N-body simulations, our ``semi-analytic'' halos are more extended, have flatter rotation curves and have higher specific angular momentum, even though we have not yet taken into account the effects of tidal torques. Whether the density profiles of numerical halos is indeed the result of loss in angular momentum outside the central region, and whether this loss is a feature of hierarchical merging and major mergers in particular, is under investigation.

description: We investigate the short-term optical variability of two gamma Cas analogs, pi Aqr and BZ Cru, thanks to intensive ground-based spectroscopic and space-borne photometric monitorings. For both stars, low-amplitude (mmag) coherent photometric variability is detected. The associated signals display long-term amplitude variations, as in other Be stars. However, these signals appear at high frequencies, especially in pi Aqr, indicating p-modes with a high degree l, a quite unusual feature amongst Be stars. While BZ Cru presents only low-level spectral variability, without clear periodicity, this is not the case of pi Aqr. In this star, the dominant photometric frequencies, near ~12/d, are confirmed spectroscopically in separate monitorings taken during very different disk activity levels ; the spectroscopic analysis suggests a probable tesseral nature for the mode.

description: Graphene and related two-dimensional (2D) materials associate remarkable mechanical, electronic, optical and phononic properties. As such, 2D materials are promising for hybrid systems that couple their elementary excitations (excitons, phonons) to their macroscopic mechanical modes. These built-in systems may yield enhanced strain-mediated coupling compared to bulkier architectures, e.g., comprising a single quantum emitter coupled to a nano-mechanical resonator. Here, using micro-Raman spectroscopy on pristine monolayer graphene drums, we demonstrate that the macroscopic flexural vibrations of graphene induce dynamical optical phonon softening. This softening is an unambiguous fingerprint of dynamically-induced tensile strain that reaches values up to $\mathbf{\approx 4 \times 10^{-4}}$ under strong non-linear driving. Such non-linearly enhanced strain exceeds the values predicted for harmonic vibrations with the same root mean square (RMS) amplitude by more than one order of magnitude. Our work holds promise for dynamical strain engineering and dynamical strain-mediated control of light-matter interactions in 2D materials and related heterostructures.

description: The efficiency of the management of top-class ground-based astronomical facilities supported by Adaptive Optics (AO) relies on our ability to forecast the optical turbulence (OT) and a set of relevant atmospheric parameters. Indeed, in spite of the fact that the AO is able to achieve, at present, excellent levels of wavefront corrections (a Strehl Ratio up to 90% in H band), its performances strongly depend on the atmospheric conditions. Knowing in advance the turbulence conditions allows an optimization of the AO use. It has already been proven that it is possible to provide reliable forecasts of the optical turbulence (CN2 profiles and integrated astroclimatic parameters such as seeing, isoplanantic angle, wavefront coherence time, ...) for the next night. In this paper we prove that it is possible to improve the forecast performances on shorter time scales (order of one or two hours) with consistent gains (order of 2 to 8) using filtering techniques. This has permitted us to achieve forecasts accuracies never obtained before and reach a fundamental milestone for the astronomical applications. The time scale of one or two hours is the most critical one for an efficient management of the ground-based telescopes supported by AO. Results shown here open, therefore, to an important revolution in the field. We implemented this method in the operational forecast system of the Large Binocular Telescope, named ALTA Center that is, at our knowledge, the first operational system providing forecasts of turbulence and atmospheric parameters at short time scales to support science operations.

Measurements of ratios of the yields in central collisions to the yields in peripheral collisions are performed for lambda baryon and phi meson. Found results show little dependence of particle suppression or enhancement on mass and strange content, but rather prominent difference in nuclear modification between mesons and baryons.

Financing industrial growth: The transformation of bank investments from antebellum state banking to the national banks of the United States, 1840-1890

description: On the eve of the Civil War, the banking system of the United States was a heterogeneous collection of state banking systems. Each state established the investment requirements under which its banks operated and each state's banking system reflected the policy goals and vision of economic development of the political leadership of that state. However, in 1863 Congress created the National Banking System, a nationwide system of banks that were subject to federal regulatory control. This dissertation demonstrates that the investments made by national banks were different from the investments made by antebellum banks in many states and regions. It draws upon nineteenth century writings on banking theory and practice to argue that the investment requirements of the National Banking System were at odds with prevailing banking thought and with standard banking practices in many states. It then supports these arguments with a brief history of antebellum banking in each state and a statistical comparison of investments under antebellum state banking and the National Banking System for each state and forseven regional areas. This statistical comparison consists of simple hypothesis tests about the relative size of six broad categories of investments in aggregate bank asset portfolios using data drawn from the official sources of the period. This study finds that the National Banking System's reserve requirements encouraged national banks to invest a greater share of their assets in bankers' balances than antebellum banks in over half the states. It finds that the National Banking System's note security requirements led national banks to invest a greater share of their assets in public securities in all but three states. Furthermore, it finds that the National Banking System's prohibition of mortgage lending compelled national banks to invest less heavily in loans in all but four states. The concluding chapter argues that this change in bank investments helped to fuel the industrial economic development of the United States. National banks in all states of the postbellum period played an intermediary role in the economy that was assumed by banks in only some states and regions in the antebellum period.

As a practical example we calculate the ground state properties of 3H and 3He using the Argonne V18 nucleon-nucleon potential and the Urbana IX three-nucleon force. A very good convergence of binding energies and matter radii is obtained. We also find a very good agreement of our results compared to other high precision calculations.

title: Primary to secondary: the impact on language learning in years 7 and 8

description: This thesis marks the completion of a longitudinal study conducted between 2010 and 2012. It addresses the motivation and progress of pupils leaving primary school and studying French from the start of Year 7 to the end of Year 8 in England. The research focuses on secondary school Modem Languages classrooms catering for pupils who left primary school having studied French in various ways or not at all. In order to obtain an understanding of primary school Modem Languages, this research also looked briefly at teaching and learning French in Years 5 and 6. The thesis is underpinned by a theoretical framework related to early language learning, as well as foreign language learning and motivation. Questionnaires, semi-structured interviews and observations were used to obtain qualitative and quantitative data from pupils and teachers. An analysis o f the data produced a number of key findings. Although the majority of pupils preferred learning Modem Languages at secondary school, they believed that it should still be taught in primary schools. By the end of Year 8, secondary school pupils were no longer as positive about learning French as they were at the start of Year 7. Modem Languages teachers were still facing challenges in the classroom as pupils continued to arrive in Year 7 with or without having studied French at primary school. The main conclusion was that by the end of Year 8, there was little difference between those pupils who had studied French at primary school and those who had not. Both groups of pupils had achieved similar grades and showed positive and negative attitudes towards studying French. The Year 5 and 6 pupils were more positive which suggests, nonetheless, that studying languages at primary school might have a role to play in raising motivation in the Modem Languages classroom.

Financing industrial growth: The transformation of bank investments from antebellum state banking to the national banks of the United States, 1840-1890
Creators: name: Sheridan, Jerome William
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: On the eve of the Civil War, the banking system of the United States was a heterogeneous collection of state banking systems. Each state established the investment requirements under which its banks operated and each state's banking system reflected the policy goals and vision of economic development of the political leadership of that state. However, in 1863 Congress created the National Banking System, a nationwide system of banks that were subject to federal regulatory control. This dissertation demonstrates that the investments made by national banks were different from the investments made by antebellum banks in many states and regions. It draws upon nineteenth century writings on banking theory and practice to argue that the investment requirements of the National Banking System were at odds with prevailing banking thought and with standard banking practices in many states. It then supports these arguments with a brief history of antebellum banking in each state and a statistical comparison of investments under antebellum state banking and the National Banking System for each state and forseven regional areas. This statistical comparison consists of simple hypothesis tests about the relative size of six broad categories of investments in aggregate bank asset portfolios using data drawn from the official sources of the period. This study finds that the National Banking System's reserve requirements encouraged national banks to invest a greater share of their assets in bankers' balances than antebellum banks in over half the states. It finds that the National Banking System's note security requirements led national banks to invest a greater share of their assets in public securities in all but three states. Furthermore, it finds that the National Banking System's prohibition of mortgage lending compelled national banks to invest less heavily in loans in all but four states. The concluding chapter argues that this change in bank investments helped to fuel the industrial economic development of the United States. National banks in all states of the postbellum period played an intermediary role in the economy that was assumed by banks in only some states and regions in the antebellum period.
The BRST quantization and the no-ghost theorem for AdS_3

description: In our previous papers, we prove the no-ghost theorem without light-cone directions (hep-th/0005002, hep-th/0303051). We point out that our results are valid for more general backgrounds. In particular, we prove the no-ghost theorem for AdS_3 in the context of the BRST quantization (with the standard restriction on the spin). We compare our BRST proof with the OCQ proof and establish the BRST-OCQ equivalence for AdS_3. The key in both approaches lies in the certain structure of the matter Hilbert space as a product of two Verma modules. We also present the no-ghost theorem in the most general form.

description: We demonstrate a widely applicable technique to absolutely calibrate the energy scale of x-ray spectra with experimentally well-known and accurately calculable transitions of highly charged ions, allowing us to measure the K-shell Rydberg spectrum of molecular O$_2$ with 8 meV uncertainty. We reveal a systematic $\sim$450 meV shift from previous literature values, and settle an extraordinary discrepancy between astrophysical and laboratory measurements of neutral atomic oxygen, the latter being calibrated against the aforementioned O$_2$ literature values. Because of the widespread use of such, now deprecated, references, our method impacts on many branches of x-ray absorption spectroscopy. Moreover, it potentially reduces absolute uncertainties there to below the meV level.

description: The reduction of nitroaromatic compounds to anilines is widely used throughout organic synthesis. Typical methods of performing this transformation utilize hydrogenation over a pyrophoric catalyst or a finely divided reducing metal, which often affords heterogeneous mixtures that are difficult to purify. Herein, we report for the first time the use of gallium metal as a reducing agent in organic synthesis. The reaction proceeds under aerobic conditions and affords homogeneous mixtures for a convenient workup. Using this method, twelve anilines were obtained in 33% to quantitative yields with short reaction times of 10-60 minutes.

The effects of a cholesterol education intervention on selected cholesterol-controlling behaviors and blood cholesterol levels of samples of adult males and females
Creators: name: Snelling, Anastasia Mustone
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This study examined the effects of the four-hour intervention, Eating to Your Heart's Content, on the blood cholesterol level and cholesterol-controlling behaviors, as assessed through a 12-hour fasting blood analysis and the Nutrition Behavior Inventory (NBI), respectively, of 32 adult males and 30 adult females, all of whom had a blood cholesterol level greater than 200 milligrams per deciliter of blood. The research methodology utilized in this study was an experimental design with volunteer subjects who were randomly assigned into the experimental or control group. Study data were obtained over a 11-week period. During week one all subjects completed the Background Data Form, the NBI, and the 12-hour fasting blood analysis. Subjects assigned to the experimental group participated in the Eating to Your Heart's Content intervention conducted by the investigator. The objective of the intervention was to influence participants to adopt a sensible approach to eating behavior by providing them with factual information on their blood cholesterol level and practical tips on controlling it. At week 11 of the study, all subjects completed a second NBI and blood cholesterol analysis. Four hypotheses were tested with the data obtained through the two assessment tools, the NBI and the blood cholesterol analysis, and were analyzed statistically using Student's t-test procedure. The comparison showed a significant decrease in the NBI score for the female experimental group and for the male control group. A marginal decrease on the NBI score was noted for the male experimental group. With regard to blood cholesterol level, no significant decrease occurred for the male and female subjects in the experimental or control group, although a marginal decrease was found for both of these groups. This slight decrease in blood cholesterol levels coupled with the decrease in the NBI score may be considered encouraging. The results of this research seemed to support that a moderate approach, such as the Eating to Your Heart's Content, to changing selected cholesterol-controlling behavior was effective for females. The evidence from this study in such regard is inconclusive regarding males.
