A history of child trafficking in southeastern Nigeria, 1900s-1930s
Creators: name: Chapdelaine, Robin P.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2014

description: Southeastern Nigeria underwent significant economic, political, and social change as a result of European conquest. The transatlantic slave trade, the expansion of the legitimate trade in palm oil and the subsequent need for domestic labor contributed to a long history of human trafficking.  The existing continuities between the transatlantic slave trade and the ways in which colonial authorities and Igbo, Ibibio, Efik and Ijaw (Ijo) populations mobilized juvenile productive and reproductive labor is at the center of this study.  Child dealing supported domestic labor needs at a time when the legality of colonial ‘slavery’ was in flux. Nigeria’s steep economic decline of the 1920s and 1930s caused a dramatic increased in child pawning, stealing and dealing.  This dissertation examines the porosity between the institutions of pawnship, slavery, child (girl) marriage, panyarring, serfdom, clientelism, and servanthood. The transformation of child pawning, a family strategy that used children’s labor as collateral for loans, is highlighted as an institution that allowed slippages from ‘pawn’ to ‘slave’ as the procurement and post-slavery exploitation of children became an important local system of attaining child labor. Many parents pawned children in order to pay colonial taxes.  Men pawned girls to raise the bride price needed for their own marriages and child dealers stole and sold children to add to their personal wealth.          This study also examines the actions of Nigerian, European, American and Canadian women who attempted to challenge colonial policies at a time when the welfare of poor Nigerian children decreased and colonial economic demands increased.  The decline of Nigerian children’s livelihoods occurred at the same historical moment that American, European and Canadian activists sought to increase the protection of children globally. This work also disrupts assumptions about categorizing certain groups as primary trafficking ‘victims’.  Members of the League of Nations and similar groups concerned with the rights of women and children often focused on women and children as specific groups needing protection in colonial Nigeria.  However, my work shows that women and children participated in human trafficking for the same reasons men did⎯they wanted to enhance their own financial and social security.

How to put your clitics in their place, or why the best account of second-position phenomena may be something like the optimal one
Creators: name: Anderson, Stephen R.
Publisher: name: Walter de Gruyter
Year: 1996

description: This article addresses the issue of how clitic elements come to occupy the positions they do in the surface forms of sentences. The empirical basis for the proposals here comes primarily from languages of the South Slavic family but the treatment is intended to be more general. The background against which I would like to set this problem is the specific set of proposals made in previous work within the theory of A-Morphous Morphology (Anderson 1992, 1993). On this view, clitics are argued to represent a generalization to phrases of the kind of linguistic phenomenon we call  "morphology" within the domain of individual words. The picture that results from this perspective is somewhat unorthodox, since it treats clitics not as syntactically functioning terminal elements within a phrase marker, lexical items that are located in a specific position by rules of the syntax, but rather as phonological material introduced into the PF representations of phrases by rules belonging to the same broad class as those of Word Formation.

Sensitivity of convective precipitation forecasts to soil moisture and vegetation
Creators: name: Collow, Thomas William
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2014

description: Land surface properties play a major role in convective precipitation events through impacting the amount of surface evaporation which results in changes to near surface temperature and humidity.  This study examines the effects of using soil moisture data from the North American Regional Reanalysis (NARR) and the Soil Moisture Ocean Salinity Satellite (SMOS) on short term weather forecasts using the Weather Research and Forecasting Model (WRF).     SMOS soil moisture data were compared to in-situ observations and it was found that although they captured the spatial variation in soil moisture, the actual measurements had a dry bias of roughly 0.10 m3/m3.  Large differences existed between the in-situ observations, even for probes only a few meters apart.  Observations from different sensors within a SMOS footprint differed from each other by a larger amount than they differed from the SMOS retrieval.  Removing the mean and normalizing the data brought the in-situ observations into better agreement with each other and with SMOS but they still contained substantial differences.    WRF sensitivity experiments demonstrated that changes to initial values of soil moisture resulted in no significant changes in precipitation.  However, more of an impact was seen when the vegetation was changed, with barren vegetation yielding a substantial decrease in precipitation.   Adding soil moisture resulted in significant changes to 2 m temperature and dewpoint relative to the control runs for each vegetation type.  However, it was found that convective available potential energy and moist static energy change little, as the temperature and humidity impacts on these variables cancel each other out, which explain the limited precipitation response.     SMOS data resulted in no significant changes in precipitation forecasts but had some impacts on temperature and humidity forecasts.  However, because these results were not seen in all cases, no definitive conclusions about the usefulness of SMOS for high resolution numerical modeling can be made at this time.  These results provide major implications for future satellite missions such as Soil Moisture Active Passive showing that experiments using true data assimilation methods which give only partial weight to satellite data may also not provide significant improvements to weather forecasts.
Curious realism: Dada and Die neue Sachlichkeit in 1920s Karlsruhe
Creators: name: Connelly, Shannon
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2014

description: This dissertation recovers the historical specificity of the terms and tactics that defined German realism after Dada. It focuses on a trio of artists—Karl Hubbuch, Rudolf Schlichter, and Georg Scholz—who studied together at the Karlsruhe Academy before World War I. Their innovative and immersive forms of realism, forged in the print workshops of the regional academy and later revised in dialogue with modernist networks in Berlin, challenge art historical understandings of the relationship between Dada and Die neue Sachlichkeit (The New Objectivity). Where realism had traditionally demanded distance and observation—a sober, level head and a practiced hand—the Dadaist heritage called for a politics and a poetics of total immersion. This dissertation tracks the legacy and the lingering traces of Dadaist strategies in the realist production of the German 1920s, examining how these pictorial modes signified in specific political, institutional, and regional contexts. It thus repositions a set of representational drawings, prints, photographs, and paintings that are usually valued for their fierce optical clarity, rather than for their emphatic, tactile made-ness.     Chapter One establishes the challenge to realism posed by Rudolf Schlichter and his colleagues in the secessionist Gruppe Rih, whose members met as students at the Karlsruhe Academy between 1908 and 1914. Their disparate artworks performed a syncretic language of mental instability and formalist naiveté that sought to upend painterly norms in Karlsruhe. Chapter Two traces the modernist dialogues between Karlsruhe and Berlin through the drawn and printed montages of Karl Hubbuch, who developed an embodied form of somnambulist realism that was inspired by silent films and serial novels of the 1910s and 20s. Chapter Three examines the persistence of such mass cultural models and modes of vision in the satirical work of Georg Scholz, whose politically strident brand of painting and printmaking engaged with post-Dada narratives in Berlin. Chapter Four demonstrates that a return to the academy transformed the painterly and pedagogical practices of both Hubbuch and Scholz after 1925, interrogating a realism under pressure to signify in response to the environment of unstable vision and subjectivity created by previous avant-garde interventions.

Effect of fetal alcohol exposure on mammary gland development and tumorigenesis in offspring
Creators: name: Crismale-Gann, Catina
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2014

description: Alcohol exposure in utero increases susceptibility to carcinogen-induced mammary tumorigenesis in adult rats. However, the mechanisms underlying the enhanced susceptibility are not well understood. Pregnant Sprague Dawley rats were fed either a liquid diet containing 6.&% ethanol, an isocaloric liquid control diet, or rat chow ad libitum from gestation day & until parturition. At birth, female pups were cross-fostered to control dams. To determine if fetal alcohol alters the insulin-like growth factor (IGF)/estradiol (E2) axis in mammary gland development, we analyzed time points in pre-pubertal, pubertal, and mature F1 offspring. Mammary glands from alcohol-exposed animals displayed increased epithelial cell proliferation and aromatase expression at PND 20 and 40. Animals exposed to alcohol in utero exhibited increased hepatic IGF-I expression at all time points, increased mammary IGF-I expression at PND 20, and decreased mammary IGFBP-5 expression at PND 40. To investigate tumorigenesis, N-nitroso-N-methylurea (NMU) was administered on PND 50 to induce tumors and offspring were euthanized at 16 weeks post-NMU injection. The alcohol group developed more tumors overall as well as more hyperplasias and adenocarcinomas as compared to control groups. Alcohol-exposed animals developed more progesterone receptor positive tumors and exhibited increased Snail, IGF-II, and IGFBP-5, as well as decreased ERα tumor mRNA expression. To determine if fetal alcohol induces alterations in DNA methylation in the mammary gland, we assessed an IGFBP-5 promoter CpG island, the first CpG island in IGFBP-5 exon I, and an estrogen receptor (ER) α promoter/exon I CpG island in tumors and contralateral mammary glands as well as PND 40 mammary glands. While the IGFBP-5 promoter CpG island did not exhibit methylation, low levels of methylation were observed in the IGFBP-5 exon I CpG island in all tissues examined. Tumors from alcohol-exposed animals exhibited partial ERα methylation. These data indicate that alcohol exposure in utero may promote mammary tumorigenesis by inducing changes in the IGF and E2 systems during early development. Furthermore, alterations in PR, Snail, IGF-II, and IGFBP-5 may be involved in the underlying mechanisms of enhanced carcinogen-induced tumorigenesis observed in alcohol-exposed offspring.

Hemipepsis kiogae

description: Hemipepsis kiogae Wahis, 2000
Distribution in the Arabian Peninsula: Yemen (Wahis 2000a).
Extralimital distribution: Uganda (Arnold 1932 as Hemipepsis glabrata race spectrum var. kiogae).
Remarks: According to Article 45.5 of the Code (ICZN 1999), “A name expressly proposed to denote an infrasubspecific entity … is not an available name …”. Arnold (1932) proposed kiogae as a variety of a “race” (=subspecies) of Hemipepsis glabrata (Klug, 1834). It is thus clear that kiogae is not available from Arnold’s paper. Wahis (2000a) proposed a new status (“stat. n.”) for kiogae, as a valid species of Hemipepsis, although attributing the name to Arnold (1932). Article 45.5.1 of the Code deals directly with situations such as this, specifying that such a name is thereby established as new with its own authorship and date (Wahis, 2000 in this case). Effectively, Wahis (2000a) proposed a new name for an entity which had previously been described from two female specimens collected in Uganda (the “ type ” deposited in the Natural History Museum, London) but for which there was no valid name. Even though Wahis did not specify that the name was new, Article 16.1 (which requires such a designation for names proposed after 1999) is actually fulfilled by conforming with the recommended treatment of former names of infrasubspecific entities which are indicated as “stat. nov.” in Recommendation 16A. Furthermore, since this is effectively a new replacement name, the requirements of Article 16.4 are met, the type material being that specified by Arnold (1932).

Evaluation of swicthgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) as a bioenergy feedstock for the northeastern and mid-Atlantic USA
Creators: name: Cortese, Laura Mary

Year: 2014

description: Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) is a warm season, C4 perennial grass native to most of North America with numerous applications, including use as a bioenergy feedstock. Although switchgrass has emerged as a bioenergy crop throughout the midwestern and southern US, little information is available on the performance of switchgrass in the Northeast/Mid-Atlantic. In the first genetic diversity study of switchgrass populations to utilize both morphological and molecular markers, it was found that the combination of morphological and molecular markers differentiated populations best, and should be useful in future applications such as genetic diversity studies, plant variety protection, and cultivar identification.  In a study that evaluated several bioenergy traits of 10 switchgrass cultivars in NJ, populations with improved agronomic characteristics were identified. Cultivar Timber exhibited the best combination of characteristics and has promise for biomass production in the Northeast/Mid-Atlantic US.  In a third study, the effects of cultivar, location, and harvest date on biomass yield, dry matter, ash, and combustion energy content in three switchgrass cultivars were investigated.  Results indicated that a January harvest allowed for optimal feedstock quality and that cultivars Alamo, Carthage, and Timber produced high yielding, high quality biomass. In an effort to improve the establishment capacity of switchgrass, a fourth study was conducted examining the effects of divergent selection for seed weight on germination and emergence in three switchgrass populations over two cycles of selection, and cold stratification on germination in the derived populations. Selection for seed weight alone was not sufficient to improve germination and germination rate in populations tested, while cold stratification improved germination. Therefore, breeding efforts should be directed towards reducing dormancy in order to improve switchgrass germination and establishment.  The final two studies examined genotype x environment effects, estimated broad-sense heritability, and stability analysis on lignocellulosic and agronomic traits in switchgrass clones grown on marginal and prime soils in NJ.  Results support the existence of both specifically and broadly adapted switchgrass germplasm, and demonstrate the need for evaluation of germplasm across multiple years and environments (including prime and marginal sites) in order to develop cultivars with optimal lignocellulosic and agronomic characteristics.

description: Taxonomic shifts can alter predator feeding preference and modify ecosystem function through top-down biological control.  In Barnegat Bay-Little Egg Harbor Estuary, sea nettle (Chrysaora quinquecirrha) abundances have increased in the northern portions of the estuary, where salinity and density of anthropogenically hardened surfaces are favorable.  Here I evaluate the geographical variation in top-down influence of C. quinquecirrha on marine plankton communities.  I simulated a range of jellyfish- to copepod-dominated ecosystems using a highly size-resolved nutrient-phytoplankton-zooplankton (NPZ) model.  Zooplankton feeding is parameterized as a community-averaged value based on predator-prey size ratios and breadth of prey sizes.  I compared model output to observational data collected in the estuary during two months of high C. quinquecirrha abundance (July and August 2012).       I predicted that observational data from the northern region would be more similar to the jellyfish-dominated model outputs, because C. quinquecirrha abundance is higher in the north.  Contrary to expectations, increased C. quinquecirrha abundance in the northern regions of the estuary did not lead to better agreement between observational data from northern sites and C. quinquecirrha feeding based model simulations.  All northern sites had observational data more similar to the copepod-dominated model.  In fact, the site that was most similar to the jellyfish-dominated model was in the southern region, where C. quinquecirrha are excluded.  I suspect that these results indicate complex interactions between C. quinquecirrha and ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi.  The abundance of M. leidyi, a voracious copepod predator, is greatly reduced in the northern region despite having wide environmental tolerances.  Predation by C. quinquecirrha may limit the distribution of M. leidyi and indirectly cause copepod-dominance in the northern region of the estuary.  The results of this study suggest that the impact of jellyfish on marine plankton community functioning is site- and taxa-specific.  Feeding preferences are shown to be important top-down control on marine phytoplankton communities.
The exponential formula for the Wasserstein metric

description: Many evolutionary partial differential equations may be rewritten as the gradient flow of an energy functional, a perspective which provides useful estimates on the behavior of solutions. The notion of gradient flow requires both the specification of an energy functional and a metric with respect to which the gradient is taken. In recent years, there has been significant interest in gradient flow on the space of probability measures endowed with the Wasserstein metric. The notion of gradient in this setting in purely formal and rigorous analysis of the gradient flow typically considers a time discretization of the problem known as the discrete gradient flow. In this dissertation, we adapt Crandall and Liggett’s Banach space method to give a new proof of the exponential formula, quantifying the rate at which solutions to the discrete gradient flow converge to solutions of the gradient flow. In the process, we use a new class of metrics—transport metrics—that have stronger convexity properties than the Wasserstein metric to prove an Euler-Lagrange equation characterizing the discrete gradient flow. We then apply these results to give simple proofs of properties of the gradient flow, including the contracting semigroup property and the energy dissipation inequality.
Regional variability of the frequency distribution of daily precipitation and the synoptic characteristics of heavy precipitation events in present and future climate simulations

description: Changes in the characteristics of daily precipitation in response to global warming may have serious impacts on human life and property.  An analysis of precipitation in climate models is performed to evaluate how well the models simulate the present climate and how precipitation may change in the future.  Models participating in phase 3 and 5 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP3 and CMIP5) have substantial biases in their simulation of heavy precipitation intensity over parts of North America during the 20th century.  Despite these biases, the large-scale atmospheric circulation accompanying heavy precipitation is either simulated realistically or the strength of the circulation is overestimated.  The biases are not related to the large-scale flow in a simple way, pointing toward the importance of other model deficiencies, such as coarse horizontal resolution and convective parameterizations, for the accurate simulation of intense precipitation.  Although the models may not sufficiently simulate the intensity of precipitation, their realistic portrayal of the large-scale circulation suggests that projections of future precipitation may be reliable.  In the CMIP5 ensemble, the distribution of daily precipitation is projected to undergo substantial changes in response to future atmospheric warming.  The regional distribution of these changes was investigated, revealing that dry days and days with heavy-extreme precipitation are projected to increase at the expense of light-moderate precipitation over much of the middle and low latitudes.  Such projections have serious implications for future impacts from flood and drought events.  In other places, changes in the daily precipitation distribution are characterized by a shift toward either wetter or drier conditions in the future, with heavy-extreme precipitation projected to increase in all but the driest subtropical subsidence regions.  Further analysis shows that increases in heavy precipitation in midlatitudes are largely explained by thermodynamics, including increases in atmospheric water vapor.  However, in low latitudes and northern high latitudes, changes in vertical velocity accompanying heavy precipitation are also important.  The strength of the large-scale atmospheric circulation is projected to change in accordance with vertical velocity in many places, though the circulation patterns, and therefore physical mechanisms that generate heavy precipitation, may remain the same.

Suburban dirt

description: Large-scale community gardens are an increasingly common feature in the suburbs of Central New Jersey, and yet the inner-city model has essentially defined how we think of community gardening.  Community gardens indicate where people are, and yet the literature bias towards urban community gardens neglects this growing trend of large non-urban community gardens.  This study, therefore, investigates three large format suburban community gardens – gardens that consist of one hundred or more individual plots – that are removed from the urban setting.  The questions that this research seeks to answer are: Who is participating in large-scale suburban community gardening, and what are their reasons for participation?  In answering these questions, the intent is to also begin to understand the conditions of suburbia that foster the impetus for creation of such gardens.  In order to understand the gardens spatially as they relate to their contextual surroundings, I used methods of geospatial mapping.  To understand the gardens structurally as a place, I made use of on-site observation and conducted interviews with garden coordinators representing each site.  In order to understand the garden in terms of the user group, I conducted a series of personal interviews with participating gardeners that focused heavily on themes of community and social capital, food systems and production, and recreation and well-being.  The study shows that gardeners participating in large-scale suburban efforts are doing so for many of the same reasons cited in the literature and by organizations such as the American Community Gardening Association with regards to participation at urban locations; however, the suburban context has a significant impact on how these reasons are defined and the ways in which these reasons are described.

Canonical  Kähler metrics with cone singularities
Creators: name: Datar, Ved

Year: 2014

description: This dissertation consists of some results on the existence and regularity of canonical Kähler metrics with cone singularities. First, a much shorter proof is provided for a result of H. Guenancia and  M. Paun, that  solutions to some complex Monge-Ampère equations with conical singularities along effective simple normal crossing divisors are uniformly equivalent to a conical metric along that divisor. It is also shown that such metrics can always be approximated, in the Gromov-Hausdorff topology, by smooth metrics with a uniform Ricci lower bound and uniform diameter bound.  As an application, it is proved that the regular set of these metrics is convex.    Next, the existence of conical Kähler-Einstein metrics and conical Kähler-Ricci solitons on toric manifolds is studied in relation to the greatest lower bounds for the Ricci and the Bakry-Emery Ricci curvatures. It is also shown that any two toric manifolds of the same dimension can be connected by a continuous path of toric manifolds with conical Kähler-Einstein metrics in the Gromov-Hausdorff topology. In the final chapter, the greatest lower bound for the Bakry-Emery Ricci curvature is studied on Fano manifolds. In particular, it is related to the solvability of some soliton-type complex Monge-Ampère equations and the properness of a twisted Mabuchi energy, extending previous work of Székelyhidi on the greatest lower bound for Ricci curvature.
