description: Counter-propagating all-normal dispersion (CANDi) fiber laser is an emerging high-energy single-cavity dual-comb laser source. Its relative timing jitter (RTJ), a critical parameter for dual-comb timing precision and spectral resolution, has not been comprehensively investigated. In this paper, we enhance the state-of-the-art CANDi fiber laser pulse energy from 1 nJ to 8 nJ. We then introduce a novel reference-free RTJ characterization technique that provides shot-to-shot measurement capability at femtosecond precision for the first time. The measurement noise floor reaches 1.6x10-7 fs2/Hz, and the corresponding integrated measurement precision is only 1.8 fs (1 kHz, 20 MHz). With this new characterization tool, we are able to study the physical origin of CANDi laser's RTJ in detail. We first verify that the cavity length fluctuation does not contribute to the RTJ. Then we measure the integrated RTJ to be 39 fs (1 kHz, 20 MHz) and identify the pump relative intensity noise (RIN) to be the dominant factor responsible for it. In particular, pump RIN is coupled to the RTJ through the Gordon-Haus effect. Finally, solutions to reduce the free-running CANDi laser's RTJ are discussed. This work provides a general guideline to improve the performance of compact single-cavity dual-comb systems like CANDi laser benefitting various dual-comb applications.

description: The laws of quantum physics endow superior performance and security for information processing: quantum sensing harnesses nonclassical resources to enable measurement precision unmatched by classical sensing, whereas quantum cryptography aims to unconditionally protect the secrecy of the processed information. Here, we present the theory and experiment for entanglement-enhanced covert sensing, a paradigm that simultaneously offers high measurement precision and data integrity by concealing the probe signal in an ambient noise background so that the execution of the protocol is undetectable with a high probability. We show that entanglement offers a performance boost in estimating the imparted phase by a probed object, as compared to a classical protocol at the same covertness level. The implemented entanglement-enhanced covert sensing protocol operates close to the fundamental quantum limit by virtue of its near-optimum entanglement source and quantum receiver. Our work is expected to create ample opportunities for quantum information processing at unprecedented security and performance levels.

description: This thesis explores how the combination of the Soviet Communist legacy and an ethnic nationalist discourse produced a volatile political society, unstable social movements, and an imploding state system in post-Soviet Georgia. Specifically, the dissident experience under the Soviet system nurtured organizational skills and networks that were not suited to overt social movement mobilization. The thesis also examines the mobilizing power of the ethnic nationalist discourse in the Georgian context, borrowing Kathryn Manzo's elaboration of "nationalism as religion" and introducing insights on the teleology of nationalism. These elements together highlight what I call the "messianic teleology" of ethnic nationalism. The thesis elaborates how the personalized politics and distrust engendered from the Soviet experience and the "messianic teleology" of ethnic nationalism were antithetical to the necessary acceptance of "uncertain outcomes" that characterize democratic consolidation (according to Adam Przeworski (1991)).

description: Effects of columnar defects created by 320 MeV Au irradiation on 2H-NbSe2 single crystals with a dose equivalent matching field up to 16 T were studied. Critical temperature is found to be suppressed almost linearly at a rate of 0.07 K/T. At the same time, the lattice parameters a and c are found to be expanded at rates of 0.016%/T and 0.030%/T, respectively. Such a lattice expansion should work as negative pressure to affect Tc. By separating the effect of heavy-ion irradiation on Tc suppression through lattice expansion and disorder, it is found that Tc is suppressed more by lattice expansion rather than by disorder.

The notion of 'self': Inception, development, and application

Publisher: name: American University

description: Philosophically speaking, the question of the identity of persons is a question that has perplexed philosophers and other thinkers throughout history. In many contexts the question of identity has been represented in inquiries pertaining to theories of 'self'. The term 'self' has consistently been discussed in a variety of contexts and disciplines, yet the expression of 'self' has not been applied in the same way contextually. The 'self' has been, and continues to be, treated as an idiom of confusion rather than an expression that brings clarity to our discourses of 'self'. Therefore, it is necessary that the question be asked: what is the most appropriate definition of the 'self'?; The ambiguity of the term 'self' can be shown to be best understood as a field of family resemblances by critically examining diverse theories of 'selfhood' in Classical Hinduism, Classical and Contemporary Western philosophical thought, in contrast with the most recent conceptions of the 'self' in modern psychology. The 'self' is best understood as a concept having a useful application of our language for expressing 'our selves' as unique, singular individuals.

description: A key ingredient for semi-analytic models (SAMs) of galaxy formation is the mass assembly history of haloes, encoded in a tree structure. The most commonly used method to construct halo merger histories is based on the outcomes of high-resolution, computationally intensive N-body simulations. We show that machine learning (ML) techniques, in particular Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), are a promising new tool to tackle this problem with a modest computational cost and retaining the best features of merger trees from simulations. We train our GAN model with a limited sample of merger trees from the Evolution and Assembly of GaLaxies and their Environments (EAGLE) simulation suite, constructed using two halo finders-tree builder algorithms: SUBFIND-D-TREES and ROCKSTAR-ConsistentTrees. Our GAN model successfully learns to generate well-constructed merger tree structures with high temporal resolution, and to reproduce the statistical features of the sample of merger trees used for training, when considering up to three variables in the training process. These inputs, whose representations are also learned by our GAN model, are mass of the halo progenitors and the final descendant, progenitor type (main halo or satellite) and distance of a progenitor to that in the main branch. The inclusion of the latter two inputs greatly improves the final learned representation of the halo mass growth history, especially for SUBFIND-like ML trees. When comparing equally sized samples of ML merger trees with those of the EAGLE simulation, we find better agreement for SUBFIND-like ML trees. Finally, our GAN-based framework can be utilised to construct merger histories of low- and intermediate-mass haloes, the most abundant in cosmological simulations.

description: The Noether symmetry analysis is applied for the study of a multifield cosmological model in a spatially flat FLRW background geometry. The gravitational Action Integral consists of two scalar fields, the Brans-Dicke field and a second scalar field minimally coupled to gravity. However, the two scalar fields interact in the kinetic terms. This multifield has been found to describe the equivalent of hyperbolic inflation in the Jordan frame. The application of Noether's theorems constrain the free parameters of the model that conservation laws exist. We find that the field equations form an integrable dynamical system and the analytic solution is derived.

description: The Milky Way (MW) galaxy is in focus, thanks to new observational data. Here we shed new light on the MW's past by studying the structural evolution of MW progenitors, which we identify from extragalactic surveys. Specifically, we constrain the stellar-mass growth history (SMGH) of the MW with two methods: ($i$) direct measurement of the MW's star formation history, and ($ii$) assuming the MW is a typical star-forming galaxy that remains on the star-forming main sequence. We select MW progenitors based on these two SMGHs at $z=0.2-2.0$ from the CANDELS/3D-HST data. We estimate the structural parameters (including half-mass radius $r_{50}$ and Sérsic index) from the stellar-mass profiles. Our key finding is that the progenitors of the MW galaxy grow self-similarly on spatially resolved scales with roughly a constant half-mass radius ($\sim2-3$ kpc) over the past 10 Gyr, while their stellar masses increase by about 1 dex, implying little-to-no inside-out growth. We discover that the radius containing $20\%$ of the stellar mass ($r_{20}$) decreases by $60\%$ between redshifts of $z=2.0$ and $z=0.7$, while the central stellar-mass density ($Σ_1$) increases by a factor of 1.3 dex over the same time and the Sérsic index changes as $n\propto(1+z)^{-1.41\pm0.19}$. This is consistent with an early ($z>1$) formation of a thick disk, followed by the formation of a bar that led to an increase in the mass in the core. The formation and evolution of the thin disk had only little impact on the overall half-mass size. We also show that the constant-size evolution of the MW progenitors challenges semiempirical approaches and numerical simulations.

title: Investigativer Journalismus im digitalen Umbruch
Creators: name: Lengauer, Barbara Elisabeth
Year: 2014

description: Wikileaks ist eines der spannendsten neuen Phänomene im Internet und stellt den investigativen Journalismus durch seine Potenziale, die die Limits klassischer Massenmedien in vieler Hinsicht sprengen, vor neue Herausforderungen. Mit ihrer vollkommen neuen Art der Quellen-Akquirierung und der Recherche hinterfragt die Plattform die Arbeitsweisen und die Stellung des Journalisten in Zeiten des digitalen Umbruchs. Die Arbeit befasst sich daher die Frage: Was kann Wikileaks für den investigativen Journalismus leisten? Um diese Frage zu beantworten, wird mittels Abduktion ein Strukturmodell erstellt, das illustriert, wie investigativer Journalismus überhaupt funktioniert. Als Basis für das Modell werden diverse Sichtweisen des investigativen Journalismus aus der Literatur herangezogen, und zwar einerseits eine handlungstheoretische Sichtweise, die das Individuum des Journalisten in den Vordergrund stellt, und andererseits eine systemtheoretische Sicht, die die Rahmenbedingungen für funktionierenden Journalismus darstellt. Beide Perspektiven sollen in den Modell verbunden werden. Anschließend wird Wikileaks in das Modell eingeführt – mittels drei Unterfragen, die die Plattform jeweils in eine andere Position im Modell versetzen und damit die Analyse möglicher Leistungen von Wikileaks für den investigativen Journalismus erleichert. Die drei Fragen lauten: Kann Wikileaks als Schnittstelle zwischen dem Journalisten und dem Informanten dienen? Kann sich die Plattform als Rahmenbedingung für den Journalisten etablieren? Oder kann Wikileaks selbst als Journalist agieren bzw. bestimmte Aufgaben des Journalisten übernehmen? Nach der Analyse aller drei Fälle kommt die Arbeit zu dem Ergebnis, dass Wikileaks vor allem in der Rolle der Rahmenbedingung eine Leistung für den investigativen Journalismus erbringt, da die Plattform in dieser Position einen Anstoß zum Wandel in Richtung eines kooperativen Journalismus und in Richtung eines investigativen Datenjournalismus geben konnte.

ETHNIC DIFFERENCES IN THE EFFECTS OF MEDIA ON BODY IMAGE: THE EFFECTS OF PRIMING WITH ETHNICALLY DIFFERENT OR SIMILAR MODELS
Creators: name: Bruns, Gina L.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: IntroductionMany studies have demonstrated that media exposure is positively correlated with body dissatisfaction and eating disorder symptomatology. When women are exposed to photographs of thin, attractive women, they often experience an immediate decrease in body satisfaction. While body image concerns are common, African American and Caucasian women often differ and being African American has been found to be a protective factor in the development of body dissatisfaction. MethodThe current study seeks to understand how media impacts African American and Caucasian women. Participants were randomly assigned to one of four conditions, viewing ten advertisements showing 1) ethnically-similar thin models; 2) ethnically-different thin models; 3) ethnically-similar plus-sized models; and 4) ethnically-diverse plus-sized models. Following these exposures, body image was measured in each group to determine any differences that exist between groups. In general, this study hypothesized that African American women would have less body dissatisfaction than Caucasian women and their body image would be less influenced by exposure to media images. For Caucasian women, thin models of either ethnicity would result in high levels of body dissatisfaction, but African American women would only have high body dissatisfaction when exposed to thin, ethnically-similar models.Results Analyses controlled for BMI as a potential confound. In this sample, the CDRS measured significant group differences in which African American women had less body dissatisfaction than Caucasian women. Ethnically-similar thin-model conditions did not elicit greater body dissatisfaction scores than ethnically-different thin models or plus-sized models and the ethnicity of the model did not impact the rating of body dissatisfaction for women of either race. There were no statistically significant differences amongst the African American women exposed to plus size versus thin models. However, there were differences in the Caucasian women whereby exposure to plus size models resulted in greater body dissatisfaction than exposure to thin models.Discussion The current study supports the existing literature suggesting that African American women experience less body dissatisfaction than Caucasian women even following exposure to an ethnically-similar thin model. Additionally, this study demonstrated that women exposed to plus size model conditions experienced greater body dissatisfaction than those shown thin models.

However, there were differences in the Caucasian women whereby exposure to plus size models resulted in greater body dissatisfaction than exposure to thin models.Discussion The current study supports the existing literature suggesting that African American women experience less body dissatisfaction than Caucasian women even following exposure to an ethnically-similar thin model. Additionally, this study demonstrated that women exposed to plus size model conditions experienced greater body dissatisfaction than those shown thin models.

description: The research information landscape requires fundamental change. The signatories of the Barcelona Declaration on Open Research Information commit to taking a lead in transforming the way research information (sometimes known as metadata) is used and produced. Openness of information about the conduct and communication of research must be the new norm.

Open research information enables science policy decisions to be made based on transparent evidence and inclusive data. It enables information used in research evaluations to be accessible and auditable by those being assessed. And it enables the global movement toward open science to be supported by information that is fully open and transparent.To this end, the signatories of the Barcelona Declaration, as organizations that carry out, fund and evaluate research, make the following commitments:

Making openness of research information the default;

Working with services and systems that support and enable open research information;

Supporting the sustainability of infrastructures for open research information;

Working together to realize the transition from closed to open research information;

description: The Barcelona Declaration on Open Research Information was prepared by a group of over 25 research information experts, representing organizations that carry out, fund, and evaluate research, as well as organizations that provide research information infrastructures. The group met in Barcelona in November 2023 in a workshop hosted by SIRIS Foundation. The preparation of the Declaration was coordinated by Bianca Kramer (Sesame Open Science), Cameron Neylon (Curtin Open Knowledge Initiative, Curtin University), and Ludo Waltman (Centre for Science and Technology Studies, Leiden University).

description: Analogical reasoning is a powerful qualitative reasoning tool that enables humans to connect two situations, and to generalize their knowledge from familiar to novel situations. Cognitive Science research provides valuable insights into the richness and complexity of analogical reasoning, together with implementations of expressive analogical reasoners with limited scalability. Modern scalable AI techniques with the potential to reason by analogy have been only applied to the special case of proportional analogy, and not to understanding higher-order analogies. In this paper, we aim to bridge the gap by: 1) formalizing six dimensions of analogy based on mature insights from Cognitive Science research, 2) annotating a corpus of fables with each of these dimensions, and 3) defining four tasks with increasing complexity that enable scalable evaluation of AI techniques. Experiments with language models and neuro-symbolic AI reasoners on these tasks reveal that state-of-the-art methods can be applied to reason by analogy with a limited success, motivating the need for further research towards comprehensive and scalable analogical reasoning by AI. We make all our code and data available.
Pulsating iron spectral features in the emission of X-ray pulsar V 0332+53
Creators: name: Bykov, Sergei
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: We present the results of phase- and time-resolved study of iron spectral features in the emission of the Be/X-ray transient pulsar V 0332+53 during its type II outburst in 2004 using archival RXTE/PCA data. Coherent pulsations of both fluorescent iron line at ~6.4 keV and neutral iron K-edge at ~7.1 keV have been detected throughout the entire outburst. The pulsating iron K-edge is reported for the first time for this object. Near the peak of the outburst, the 3-12 keV pulse profile shows two deep, Fmax/Fmin~2, and narrow dips of nearly identical shape, separated by exactly Δϕ=0.5 in phase. The dip spectra are nearly identical to each other and very similar in shape to the spectra outside the dips. The iron K-edge peaks at the phase intervals corresponding to the dips, although its optical depth τK~0.05 is by far insufficient to explain the dips. The iron line shows pulsations with a complex pulse profile without any obvious correlation with the total flux or optical depth of the K-edge. Accounting for the component associated with reprocessing of the pulsar emission by the surface of the donor star and circumstellar material, we find a very high pulsation amplitude of the iron line flux, Fmax/Fmin~10. We demonstrate that these properties of V 0332+53 cannot be explained by contemporary emission models for accreting X-ray pulsars and speculate about the origin of the observed iron spectral features.

description: Finsler geometry is a natural and fundamental generalization of Riemann geometry. The Finsler structure depends on both coordinates and velocities. We present the arrival time delay of astroparticles subject to Lorentz violation in the framework of Finsler geometry, and the result corresponds to that derived by Jacob and Piran in the standard model of cosmology.

Women and Islam: The role of holistic interpretation
Creators: name: Sharify-Funk, Meena
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: In the Islamic world, the absence of women's voices within the academic and political realms has rendered Islamic history incomplete. However, in the last century, Muslim women and men have increasingly attempted to reinterpret their religious and cultural traditions within holistic interpretive frameworks that underscore the importance of revisiting the historical context and reformist intent of the Qur'anic revelation in order to understand the ways Islamic values and precepts can speak to people today. This thesis investigates this emerging discourse of "holistic interpretation" and concludes that consistency and coherence do exist in the assumptions and methods of contemporary "holistic" interpreters, which lead to conclusions about Islam that often differ from the conclusions of the "atomistic," traditional and reactive interpreters. In particular, the "holistic" approach offers a vehicle for a distinctive Islamic discourse that responds to the needs and rights of women while supporting inclusive dialogue, nonviolent social change, and peace.
