description: We study the dynamics of the discrete nonlinear Schr{ö}dinger lattice initialized such that a very long transitory period of time in which standard Boltzmann statistics is insufficient is reached. Our study of the nonlinear system locked in this {\em non-Gibbsian} state focuses on the dynamics of discrete breathers (also called intrinsic localized modes). It is found that part of the energy spontaneously condenses into several discrete breathers. Although these discrete breathers are extremely long lived, their total number is found to decrease as the evolution progresses. Even though the total number of discrete breathers decreases we report the surprising observation that the energy content in the discrete breather population increases. We interpret these observations in the perspective of discrete breather creation and annihilation and find that the death of a discrete breather cause effective energy transfer to a spatially nearby discrete breather. It is found that the concepts of a multi-frequency discrete breather and of internal modes is crucial for this process. Finally, we find that the existence of a discrete breather tends to soften the lattice in its immediate neighborhood, resulting in high amplitude thermal fluctuation close to an existing discrete breather. This in turn nucleates discrete breather creation close to a already existing discrete breather.

description: I conducted 2 experiments to analyze the effects of a reading curriculum, Corrective Reading, which has a sequence that trains derived relations, on the emission of (a) derived relations defined as combinatorial entailment in Relational Frame Theory and (b) metaphors with first grade students. In Experiment 1, I compared the curriculum, which has the sequence to train derived relations to a well-known reading curriculum, RAZ Kids. RAZ Kids served as the content control. I used an experimental group design with a simultaneous treatment and a crossover feature. I selected 14 participants, who were matched then randomly assigned into 2 groups of 7. Both groups received matched instructional trials either in Corrective Reading or RAZ Kids condition, and each group was post-tested. Upon completion of the Post intervention 1 probes, each group was placed in an alternative condition, where Group 1 received the content control intervention, and Group 2 received instruction from the curriculum that has the sequence to train derived relations. Both groups increased in number of correct responses following the Corrective Reading intervention. Two kinds of analyses were done, small group and individual. In Experiment 2, I replicated Experiment I using a delayed multiple probe design across 2 first-grade dyads without a content control curriculum. I tested the effects of 5 lessons of the curriculum that has the sequence to train derived relations on the same dependent measures with an addition of implicit/explicit reading comprehension probes. The results showed that the curriculum sequence found within Corrective Reading was effective in increasing the number of correct derived relation responses, while also improving reading comprehension responses.

description: Recent development in exploring flavour dynamics in the supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model is reviewed. Emphasis is put on possible interesting effects in b-physics arising for large values of tan beta both in the case of minimal flavour violation and in the case of flavour violation originating in the sfermion sector. The importance of the flavour changing neutral Higgs boson couplings generated by the scalar penguin diagrams and their role in the interplay of neutral B-meson mixing and B^0_{d,s} --> mu^+ mu^- decays is discussed. It is pointed out that observation of the B^0_d --> mu^+ mu^- decay with BR at the level $\simgt 3 X 10^{-8}$ would be a strong indication of nonminimal flavour violation in the quark sector. Possible impact of flavour violation in the slepton sector on neutrino physics is also discussed.

The Effects of Voter Registration and Declining Political Party Competition on Turnout in the United States of America, 1880-1916

description: My dissertation explains the extent to which electoral institutions and declining political party competition precipitated a steep decline in U.S. turnout after 1896 from which the nation never recovered. Turnout dropped from 83 to 66 percent in less than ten years. This is a persistent puzzle in political science because data limitations have stymied empirical assessment of existing theories. Using original datasets on nineteenth century voter registration laws and records on political gambling on presidential elections from 1880 to 1916, I test the hypothesis that the shift in electoral behavior was a function of registration reforms and declining competition. I find that registration laws and political competition modestly explain the decline. Registration reforms explain one percent of the seventeen point turnout drop, and the combined effect of registration and declining competition is approximately two to three percentage points of the drop. I also found that the effect of registration are conditional on immigration, the effect is stronger in states with higher immigrant populations. For the most part, political party competition had a positive effect on turnout in the expected direction. In states remaining competitive after 1896, the long-term average effect of competition on turnout was an increase of about 14 percentage points. To validate this argument, I use election-betting data to create a measure of the public's perception of electoral competition in the states. My findings indicate that highly informed individuals accurately predicted election outcomes, which suggests the public was aware of the electoral competitiveness of presidential elections in the states. This means that perceptions about the electoral competitiveness of races likely influenced voters' decisions to participate. My dissertation advances our empirical and theoretical understanding of the interaction between institutions and political behavior and helps to inform the current debate on the potential implications that contemporary legal reforms in election laws might have on voter participation in America.

description: A characterization of textured patterns, referred to as the disorder function \barδ(β), is used to study properties of patterns generated in the Swift-Hohenberg equation (SHE). It is shown to be an intensive, configuration-independent measure. The evolution of random initial states under the SHE exhibits two stages of relaxation. The initial phase, where local striped domains emerge from a noisy background, is quantified by a power law decay \barδ(β) \sim t^{-{1/2} β}. Beyond a sharp transition a slower power law decay of \barδ(β), which corresponds to the coarsening of striped domains, is observed. The transition between the phases advances as the system is driven further from the onset of patterns, and suitable scaling of time and \barδ(β) leads to the collapse of distinct curves. The decay of $\barδ(β)$ during the initial phase remains unchanged when nonvariational terms are added to the underlying equations, suggesting the possibility of observing it in experimental systems. In contrast, the rate of relaxation during domain coarsening increases with the coefficient of the nonvariational term.

 Mutilla affinis Westwood, 1843.07.01: 18, pl. 54 fig. 2; ♀.
 This taxon was described from an unspecified number of female specimens (probably only one specimen was involved since no variation was mentioned and a single reference number was cited) collected in “Nova Hollandia” (collector unspecified) and in NHMUK, No. 550. There is a single female specimen so identified in that collection; it has appropriate collecting data, bears the number cited by Westwood and agrees with the description. There is no determination label by Westwood, but one written by Turner. There is one female specimen in OUMNH which bears a determination label by Westwood giving a reference to the description and which has previously been labelled as a type. It was collected in “Adelaide” and is from the Hope-Westwood Collection. Despite the presence of Westwood’s determination label (in a style similar to that for undoubted type specimens of species described at the same time, e.g. Mutilla concinna), this specimen has no type status because there is no mention of any such specimen in the original description. The specimen in NHMUK is thus evidently the holotype and it bears the following labels: “Type / H.T.” [circular, red margin, typeset]; “550 / a // N[ew].Holl[and].” [handwritten]; “ Mutilla / affinis / Type Westw[ood]. / See Arc[ana]. Ent[omologica]. / II.18. RET[urner]” [R.E. Turner’s handwriting]; “B.M.TYPE / HYM. [typeset] / 15-602. [handwritten, blue ink]”; “ HOLOTYPE / Mutilla affinis ♀ / Westwood 1843 / det. D.J.Brothers 1981” [my handwriting]. I have no information which could assist in refining the type locality, which is thus Australia.
 This is the type species of Eurymutilla Ashmead, 1899 and is therefore currently placed in that genus.

The Effects of a Mathematical Literacy Course on Attitudes Toward Mathematics: A Community College Study

Community colleges

description: As the high failure rate in developmental mathematics remains a national concern (Bonham et al., 2011), community colleges have begun experimenting with alternative delivery and design for remedial mathematics sequences. One approach was to implement mathematical literacy in their program, focusing on quantitative reasoning. Mathematical Literacy is an individual’s ability to formulate situations and reason mathematically, employ mathematical tools, concepts and procedures as well as to explain, apply and evaluate mathematical results (OECD, 2017).
      The intent of this study was to observe and evaluate learner attitudes regarding mathematics in a community college mathematical literacy course.
      Two groups of students from two different courses were part of the study; one group was in a mathematical literacy course and another group in an elementary algebra course.
      To measure students’ growth in self-confidence and in the perceived value and usefulness of mathematics, quantitative data were collected with an anonymous pre- and post-mathematics attitudes survey from the mathematical literacy course and the elementary algebra course. In addition, qualitative data were gathered with an open-ended question administered to participants in the mathematical literacy sections during the last week of the semester to offer richer insights into the findings from the attitude survey.
      Findings from the quantitative data revealed statistically significant effects for participants in the mathematical literacy course compared to their counterparts in the elementary algebra course in the area of attitudes regarding the perceived value and usefulness of mathematics, real-world problems, working in groups, as well as using computers in mathematics courses. Qualitative data were aligned with the findings from the quantitative data and indicated participants’ positive views on working in groups, the usefulness of the mathematical literacy course, and improvement of their attitudes regarding mathematics thanks to the course. The study suggested further research to improve our understandings of mathematical literacy and its impact.

When the temperatures of black hole and cosmological horizons are equal, the entropy is the sum of one-quarter areas of black hole and cosmological horizons; when the inner and outer black hole horizons coincide, the entropy is only one-quarter area of cosmological horizon; and the entropy vanishes when the two black hole horizons and cosmological horizon coincide. We also calculate the Euler numbers of the corresponding Euclidean manifolds, and discuss the relationship between the entropy of instanton and the Euler number.

description: In the integral Khovanov homology of links, the presence of odd torsion is rare. Homologically thin links, that is links whose Khovanov homology is supported on two adjacent diagonals, are known to only contain $\mathbb{Z}_2$ torsion. In this paper, we prove a local version of this result. If the Khovanov homology of a link is supported in two adjacent diagonals over a range of homological gradings and the Khovanov homology satisfies some other mild restrictions, then the Khovanov homology of that link has only $\mathbb{Z}_2$ torsion over that range of homological gradings. These conditions are then shown to be met by an infinite family of 3-braids, strictly containing all 3-strand torus links, thus giving a partial answer to Sazdanovic and Przytycki's conjecture that 3-braids have only $\mathbb{Z}_2$ torsion in Khovanov homology. We also give explicit computations of integral Khovanov homology for all links in this family.

description: Land taxes are known to be amongst the most efficient forms of taxation since land is an immobile factor; property (capital value) taxes are less efficient owing to the tax on improvements. However there is little international (or New Zealand) evidence regarding the distributional impacts of land and property taxes. Nor is there much New Zealand evidence on their potential fiscal implications or about the taxes’ impacts on asset values and debt positions. We explore impacts that may arise from a range of land and property taxes that differ across certain features (e.g. comprehensiveness and degree of grand-fathering). Both partial and general equilibrium models are used. The results provide a basis for considering alternative taxation options involving land or property taxes.

The Effects of a Reading Intervention to Teach Silent Reading with Comprehension on the Speaker-As-Own-Listener Capability among Third Grade Students and Comparisons with Fluent Readers

description: I conducted two experiments on silent reading. Experiment I was a non-intervention experimental comparison study conducted with 60 participants. Data were collected across two reading conditions 1) reading aloud or 2) reading silently and answering multiple choice comprehension questions. The data were analyzed within and between two groups, elementary-age and adult readers, across the two conditions using a repeated measure ANOVA. The results indicated significant differences in fluency rates between age groups and reading conditions and non-significant effects between and within subjects for reading comprehension. Adult readers read on average, two times faster with accurate reading comprehension in the silent reading condition compared to the read aloud condition and when compared to elementary-aged participants across both reading conditions. The results indicated that fluent adult readers are more efficient when reading silently. Experiment II tested the effects of a treatment package designed to teach participants to read silently on reading comprehension with six third graders using a delayed non-concurrent multiple probe design. Participants selected for the study could not read silently and respond correctly to comprehension questions. All of the participants had fluent vocal textual responding at a minimum rate of 90 correct words per minute with no more than two errors for their reading level and speaker-as-own-listener comprehension when they read aloud. The dependent variables consisted of silent reading probes and listener and speaker comprehension responses. The independent variable was a reading instruction treatment package using a peer-yoked contingency game board. During intervention sessions, participants rotated between opportunities to read silently and listening to audio recordings of spoken text. Participants completed selection and production questions to assess comprehension following each reading condition. Participants were matched in pairs based upon reading capabilities, reading repertoires, and the peer contingences that were arranged during intervention sessions with a yoked contingency game board. During intervention, progression on the peer-yoked contingency game board was contingent upon silent reading and criterion level responding to comprehension questions for both participants in the pair. Following the intervention, all participants acquired silent reading and criterion level comprehension.

description: Spontaneous formation of transverse patterns is ubiquitous in nonlinear dynamical systems of all kinds. An aspect of particular interest is the active control of such patterns. In nonlinear optical systems this can be used for all-optical switching with transistor-like performance, for example realized with polaritons in a planar quantum-well semiconductor microcavity. Here we focus on a specific configuration which takes advantage of the intricate polarization dependencies in the interacting optically driven polariton system. Besides detailed numerical simulations of the coupled light-field exciton dynamics, in the present paper we focus on the derivation of a simplified population competition model giving detailed insight into the underlying mechanisms from a nonlinear dynamical systems perspective. We show that such a model takes the form of a generalized Lotka-Volterra system for two competing populations explicitly including a source term that enables external control. We present a comprehensive analysis both of the existence and stability of stationary states in the parameter space spanned by spatial anisotropy and external control strength. We also construct phase boundaries in non-trivial regions and characterize emerging bifurcations. The population competition model reproduces all key features of the switching observed in full numerical simulations of the rather complex semiconductor system and at the same time is simple enough for a fully analytical understanding of the system dynamics.

description: The slider-block Burridge-Knopoff model with the Coulomb friction law is studied as an excitable medium. It is shown that in the continuum limit the system admits solutions in the form of the self-sustained shock waves traveling with constant speed which depends only on the amount of the accumulated stress in front of the wave. For a wide class of initial conditions the behavior of the system is determined by these shock waves and the dynamics of the system can be expressed in terms of their motion. The solutions in the form of the periodic wave trains and sources of counter-propagating waves are analyzed. It is argued that depending on the initial conditions the system will either tend to synchronize or exhibit chaotic spatiotemporal behavior.

There are two Higgs doublets whose masses have no one-loop quadratic sensitivity to the cutoff of the effective theory, which can be at around 10 TeV. The Higgs potential is generated by gauge and Yukawa interactions, and is distinctly different from that of the minimal supersymmetric standard model. At the TeV scale, the new bosonic degrees of freedom are a single neutral complex scalar and a second copy of SU(2)xU(1) gauge bosons. Additional vector-like pairs of colored fermions are also present.

description: I conducted 2 experiments in which I tested the effects of a reader immersion procedure on the technical reading comprehension responses to print stimuli for 4 kindergarten students and 3 first grade students. The participants selected for this study textually responded to words at a rate of 80 words correct per minute with 0 incorrect words per minute. They demonstrated early reader repertoires and speaker-as-own listener verbal capablities including incidental language learning (also referred to as Naming), self-talk, and say-do correspondence, all neccesary prerequisites for a child to acquire reader-as-own listener capabilities. However, they were not yet verbally governed by print to complete simple tasks as demonstrated by their performance on “read and build” and “read and draw” reading comprehension tasks. In the 1st experiment, the dependent variables were technical reading tasks that included 1) a 10-step “read and build” task and 2) a 10-step “read and draw” task. During pre-intervention and post-intervention probe assessments, each participant was given a list of 10 written directions and the corresponding materials required to complete the tasks. The independent variable was a reader immersion procedure in which the “need to read” was established by providing access to a preferred item after the emission of correct reading-governed (i.e., read and do) responses. Following the reader immersion procedure, responses to novel reading comprehension responses increased for the participants. The particpants’ behavior was controlled by print stimuli to complete simple reading tasks in which they had to build a structure or reproduce an image with a writing implement. In the 2nd experiment, 4 participants received the 10-step pre-intevention probe assessments used in Experiment 1 along with 2 additonal pre and post-intervention probes in which they completed a 1) 20-step “read and build” task and 2) a 20-step “read and draw task.” The independent variable was the reader immersion procedure used in Experiment 1. Following the reader immersion procedure, responses to novel reading comprehension tasks increased for all dependent variables. Findings suggest that untaught reading comprehension responses emerged as a function of the reader immersion procedure which included a motivating operation as well as repeated opportunities to mediate behavior in response to print stimuli. I describe technical reading as a verbally governed response to print that is a necessary prerequisite to the advanced reader and writer repertoires that will result in success in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) fields of study.

description: We study the dynamics of waves in a system of diffusively coupled discrete nonlinear sources. We show that the system exhibits burst waves which are periodic in a traveling-wave reference frame. We demonstrate that the burst waves are pinned if the diffusive coupling is below a critical value. When the coupling crosses the critical value the system undergoes a depinning instability via a saddle-node bifurcation, and the wave begins to move. We obtain the universal scaling for the mean wave velocity just above threshold.

description: In this paper, we work on a quantum walk whose system is manipulated by a five-diagonal unitary matrix, and present long-time limit distributions. The quantum walk launches off a location and delocalizes in distribution as its system is getting updated. The five-diagonal matrix contains a phase term and the quantum walk becomes a standard coined walk when the phase term is fixed at special values. Or, the phase term gives an effect on the quantum walk. As a result, we will see an explicit form of a long-time limit distribution for a quantum walk driven by the matrix, and thanks to the exact form, we understand how the quantum walker approximately distributes in space after the long-time evolution has been executed on the walk.

description: We study the capacity of quantum private information retrieval (QPIR) with multiple servers. In the QPIR problem with multiple servers, a user retrieves a classical file by downloading quantum systems from multiple servers each of which contains the copy of a classical file set while the identity of the downloaded file is not leaked to each server. The QPIR capacity is defined as the maximum rate of the file size over the whole dimension of the downloaded quantum systems. When the servers are assumed to share prior entanglement, we prove that the QPIR capacity with multiple servers is 1 regardless of the number of servers and files. We construct a rate-one protocol only with two servers. This capacity-achieving protocol outperforms its classical counterpart in the sense of capacity, server secrecy, and upload cost. The strong converse bound is derived concisely without using any secrecy condition. We also prove that the capacity of multi-round QPIR is 1.

description: Quello precauzionale è un principio dai confini giuridici piuttosto labili. Lo si ritrova enunciato in svariati accordi internazionali, a cominciare da quelli multilaterali in materia di commercio mondiale, nonché menzionato dal Trattato sul funzionamento dell'UE e, specificamente in materia alimentare, dal reg. CE 178/02. Essendo un principio di elaborazione ancora relativamente recente, esso nella riflessione giurisprudenziale si presenta talvolta interpretato o applicato in modo non del tutto coerente, o quanto meno con contenuti alquanto variabili.

description: Graph neural network, as a powerful graph representation technique based on deep learning, has shown superior performance and attracted considerable research interest. However, it has not been fully considered in graph neural network for heterogeneous graph which contains different types of nodes and links. The heterogeneity and rich semantic information bring great challenges for designing a graph neural network for heterogeneous graph. Recently, one of the most exciting advancements in deep learning is the attention mechanism, whose great potential has been well demonstrated in various areas. In this paper, we first propose a novel heterogeneous graph neural network based on the hierarchical attention, including node-level and semantic-level attentions. Specifically, the node-level attention aims to learn the importance between a node and its metapath based neighbors, while the semantic-level attention is able to learn the importance of different meta-paths. With the learned importance from both node-level and semantic-level attention, the importance of node and meta-path can be fully considered. Then the proposed model can generate node embedding by aggregating features from meta-path based neighbors in a hierarchical manner. Extensive experimental results on three real-world heterogeneous graphs not only show the superior performance of our proposed model over the state-of-the-arts, but also demonstrate its potentially good interpretability for graph analysis.

description: A new shifted hybrid inflationary scenario is introduced which, in contrast to the older one, relies only on renormalizable superpotential terms. This scenario is automatically realized in a concrete extension of the "minimal" supersymmetric Pati-Salam model which naturally leads to a moderate violation of Yukawa unification so that, for mu>0, the predicted b-quark mass is acceptable even with universal boundary conditions. It is shown that this extended model possesses a classically flat "shifted" trajectory which acquires a slope via one-loop radiative corrections and can be used as inflationary path. The constraints from the cosmic background explorer can be met with natural values of the relevant parameters. Also, there is no disastrous production of magnetic monopoles after inflation since the Pati-Salam gauge group is already broken on the "shifted" path. The relevant part of inflation takes place at values of the inflaton field which are not much smaller than the "reduced" Planck scale and, thus, supergravity corrections could easily invalidate inflation. It is, however, shown that inflation can be kept intact provided that an extra gauge singlet with a superheavy vacuum expectation value, which originates from D-terms, is introduced and a specific form of the Kaehler potential is used. Moreover, it is found that, although the supergravity corrections are sizable, the constraints from the cosmic background explorer can again be met by readjusting the values of the parameters which were obtained with global supersymmetry.

A limit theorem for small cliques in inhomogeneous random graphs

description: The theory of graphons comes with a natural sampling procedure, which results in an inhomogeneous variant of the Erdős--Rényi random graph, called $W$-random graphs. We prove, via the method of moments, a limit theorem for the number of $r$-cliques in such random graphs. We show that, whereas in the case of dense Erdős--Rényi random graphs the fluctuations are normal of order $n^{r-1}$, the fluctuations in the setting of $W$-random graphs may be of order $0, n^{r-1}$, or $n^{r-0.5}$. Furthermore, when the fluctuations are of order $n^{r-0.5}$ they are normal, while when the fluctuations are of order $n^{r-1}$ they exhibit either normal or a particular type of chi-square behavior whose parameters relate to spectral properties of $W$. These results can also be deduced from a general setting [Janson and Nowicki, PTRF 1991], based on the projection method. In addition to providing alternative proofs, our approach makes direct links to the theory of graphons.
