Understanding Nuclear Restraint: What Role Do Sanctions Play? A Study of Iraq, Taiwan, Libya, and Iran
Creators: name: Jacob, Neerada
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: The dissertation seeks to understand the role of sanctions in the scaling back of nuclear weapons programs. It analyzes the nuclear programs of four countries (Iraq, Taiwan, Libya, and Iran) based on a classification of nuclear restraint as Slow, Stop, and Rollback. The research finds that sanctions have, at times, played a significant intermediary role in ending nuclear weapons programs. The central argument is that the impact of sanctions can be understood in terms of limiting resources, or by affecting the motives for the nuclear program. Such a categorization of the sanctions impact contributes to the literature by delineating two broad ways by which alone sanctions can change a country's policy. The dissertation also contributes to the literature on nuclear proliferation by developing the concept of nuclear restraint in terms of three sub-categories (Slow, Stop, and Rollback).

description: The introduction of tiered meal reimbursement rates in the family child care homes portion of the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) concentrated benefits more intensely on low-income children, as intended. Tiering added to sponsoring organizations' administrative duties, reduced the number of participating family child care homes, but did not alter the number or nutritional quality of meals offered by providers receiving the lower reimbursement rates.
Region-building and nation-building : complementarities and contradictions in the eastern Baltic
Creators: name: Fritzell, Leif Erik
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Although Baltic region-building has drawn considerable attention from scholars, it has predominantly been analyzed as a western European phenomenon. While western European notions of space, identity and security have undoubtedly inspired Baltic regionbuilding, how these projects are perceived and considered in post-Soviet Baltic countries has received little attention. Drawing emphatically from the Estonian context, this thesis focuses on the interplay of region-building and nation-building, paying particular attention to the debates concerning identity and security. In the Estonian case, these two concepts are especially noteworthy because of their conceptually rigid nature. By focusing specifically on Estonia, I highlight the influence and importance of previously constructed concepts of political space and identity upon Baltic region-building efforts. When compared to the open constructions of security and identity maintained by many of the Baltic's region-builders, it is apparent that dominant domestic constructions of Estonia's security and identity are defensively closed. By examining the recent developments and historical evolutions of both Estonian nation-building and Baltic region-building, this thesis offers a more in-depth exploration of the political and societal issues with which region-builders must contend. In this way, I delineate how these divergent constructions of political and social organization and identity interact, influence and continue to overlap and occupy the same political space.

description: Im östlichen Niedersachsen und westlichen Sachsen-Anhalt wurden in den letzten Jahrzehnten in zwei großen Untersuchungskampagnen mächtige quartäre Ablagerungen beobachtet und dokumentiert. Die Elster-zeitlichen Anteile dieser Ablagerungen sind Gegenstand dieser Veröffentlichung. Ablagerungen der ältesten Vereisung aus diesem Gebiet wurden schon vor über 100 Jahren beschrieben. Im Helmstedter Braunkohlerevier waren über lange Zeit über mächtigen Vorschütt-Schmelzwassersanden zwei Elster-Grundmoränen aufgeschlossen. Stillwasserbildungen verschiedenster Ausbildung waren Zeugen des periglaziären Geschehens in diesem Raum. Am Ende des Pleniglazials kamen in kleinen Seen limnische Sedimente zur Ablagerung, die Hinweise auf mehrere Spätelster-Interstadiale lieferten. Im Zuge einer sehr umfangreichen ingenieurgeologischen Erkundung im nur wenige Kilometer entfernten Allertal bei Morsleben wurden dort einige Jahre später zahlreiche Kernbohrungen niedergebracht und intensiv geologisch dokumentiert und beprobt. Die erbohrten Ablagerungen ähneln den Elster-zeitlichen Sedimenten aus dem Tagebau Schöningen, sind jedoch durch zahlreiche Subrosionssenken noch mächtiger. Hierdurch lassen sich auch mehrere kleine Oszillationen zu Beginn der Überfahrung durch das Elster-Inlandeis nachweisen. An einer Stelle im Allertal ist zudem relativ sicher eine jüngste dritte Elster-Grundmoräne nachweisbar. Die periglazären Bildungen kamen hier in einem eher fluviatil geprägten Milieu zur Ablagerung, das auch die Erhaltung sicher zuordnenbarer Spätelster-Interstadiale behinderte. Eine Korrelation der beobachteten Ablagerungen mit denen anderer Räume ist bisher nur regional, nicht jedoch überregional möglich.

description: Fracture mechanics is the field of mechanics concerned with the study of the propagation of cracks in materials. It uses methods of analytical solid mechanics to calculate the driving force on a crack and those of experimental solid mechanics to characterize the material's resistance to fracture. Theoretically, the stress ahead of a sharp crack tip becomes infinite and cannot be used to describe the state around a crack. Fracture mechanics is used to characterise the loads on a crack, typically using a single parameter to describe the complete loading state at the crack tip. A number of different parameters have been developed. When the plastic zone at the tip of the crack is small relative to the crack length the stress state at the crack tip is the result of elastic forces within the material and is termed linear elastic fracture mechanics and can be characterised using the stress intensity factor.

description: Im untersuchten Raum konnte ein Zusammenhang zwischen dem Auftreten ausgedehnter glazial übertiefter Becken und der Ausdehnung aktiver Gletscherzungen gefunden werden. Jene liegen im Zehrgebiet dieser und sind möglicherweise auf die hohe Fließgeschwindigkeit des Eises und dessen starke Anreicherung mit Moränenschutt zurückzuführen. Die Auffüllung der Becken erfolgte sehr rasch im beginnenden Spätglazial und war zur Zeit der Wiederbewaldung bereits abgeschlossen. Dabei kamen petrographische Unterschiede im Einzugsgebiet der Flüsse stark zum tragen.

description: What determines the outcome of social movements in authoritarian contexts? I advance an argument that demonstrates that in order to be successful in authoritarian contexts, social movements need to possess prior organizations and networks with weak ties that are capable of transmitting protest tactics. To demonstrate this, I employ a comparative case study whereby I examine two social movements that took place in Egypt between 2004 and 2011. Though both movements sought similar political reforms, only the Arab Spring era movement succeeded in achieving them. I use the comparative failure and success of these two movements to illustrate how these components are necessary for the success of a social movement. I find data for my argument by using news publications of events in both movements, and comparing the role each of these components played in each social movement. The findings contribute to our understanding of the operations and chances for success of social movements in non-western, non-democratic situations.

description: To improve the generalization of the representations for natural language processing tasks, words are commonly represented using vectors, where distances among the vectors are related to the similarity of the words. While word2vec, the state-of-the-art implementation of the skip-gram model, is widely used and improves the performance of many natural language processing tasks, its mechanism is not yet well understood. In this work, we derive the learning rules for the skip-gram model and establish their close relationship to competitive learning. In addition, we provide the global optimal solution constraints for the skip-gram model and validate them by experimental results.

description: The production of strange pentaquark states (e.g. Theta baryons and Xi^-- states) in hadronic interactions within a Gribov-Regge approach is explored. In this approach the Theta^+(1540) and the Xi Pentaquark are produced by disintegration of remnants formed by the exchange of pomerons between the two protons. We predict the rapidity and transverse momentum distributions as well as the 4 pi multiplicity of the Theta^+, Xi^--, Xi^-, Xi^0 and Xi^+ for sqrt{s} = 17 GeV (SPS) and 200 GeV (RHIC). For both energies more than 10^{-3} Theta^+ and more than 10^{-5} Xi per pp event should be observed by the present experiments.

description: A 1995 study of the family child care homes portion of the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) found that nearly 80 percent of children served came from middle and higher income families. To refocus the program on low-income children, the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunities Reconciliation Act of 1996 mandated an income-targeted meal reimbursement structure and called for a study of its effects. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) contracted with Abt Associates Inc., for a study of the effects of tiered meal reimbursement on the family child care homes portion of the CACFP. A key study finding was that the family child care homes component of the CACFP became substantially more focused on low-income children after tiering was introduced.

description: Where does the term multilateralism, as it is used in world politics, come from? How does its history make its current use possible? This dissertation specifies the relations instantiated by its use in politics to a variety of entities, ideas, and actions, with a particular focus on the time period 1919-1960. By exploring its use in diplomatic documents (primarily via the Foreign Relations of the United States series) and in mass media (primarily via the New York Times), this study concludes that multilateralism is an evolving, negotiated concept. In analyzing its use with greater precision by identifying the discursive practical relations being made, this dissertation advances our understanding of multilateralism's history, limits, and possibilities. Greater knowledge of the histories and relations between political concepts should be able to contribute to our explanations of politics.

description: Between 1998 and 2000, food insecurity fell by 11 percent and hunger by 16 percent. The declines were widespread, affecting most regions and types of households. For the year ending September 2000, nearly 90 percent of American households were food secure for the entire year. The rest were food insecure at least some time during the year, meaning they did not always have access to enough food for active, healthy lives for all household members. This report, based on data from the September 2000 food security survey, provides the most recent statistics on the food security of U.S. house- holds, as well as on how much they spent on food and the extent to which food-inse- cure households participated in Federal and community food assistance programs. The authors estimate that the typical U.S. household spent 36 percent more than the cost of USDA’s Thrifty Food Plan, while the typical food-insecure household spent 4 percent more. One-half of all food-insecure households participated in at least one of the three largest Federal food assistance programs in the month before the survey. About 17 per- cent of food-insecure households—2.4 percent of all U.S. households—obtained emer- gency food from a food pantry at some time during the year.
An online convex optimization algorithm for controlling linear systems with state and input constraints

description: This paper studies the problem of controlling linear dynamical systems subject to point-wise-in-time constraints. We present an algorithm similar to online gradient descent, that can handle time-varying and a priori unknown convex cost functions while restraining the system states and inputs to polytopic constraint sets. Analysis of the algorithm's performance, measured by dynamic regret, reveals that sublinear regret is achieved if the variation of the cost functions is sublinear in time. Finally, we present a simple example to illustrate implementation details as well as the algorithm's performance and show that the proposed algorithm ensures constraint satisfaction.

description: In 2000, 8.8 million children received food stamps, making the Food Stamp Program a crucial component of the social safety net. Despite its importance, little research has examined the effect of food stamps on children's overall well-being. Using the Current Population Survey from 1989 to 2001, we consider the impact of food stamps on three measures of poverty-the headcount, the poverty gap, and the squared poverty gap. These measures portray the incidence, depth, and severity of poverty. We find that in comparison to the headcount measure, food stamp benefits lead to large reductions in the poverty gap and squared poverty gap measures. We then simulate the effects of several changes in the distribution of food stamps and find that a general across-the-board increase in benefits has little impact on poverty reduction. In contrast, targeted changes can greatly reduce the depth and severity of poverty-increasing benefits to the poor results in a greater reduction in the depth of poverty than expanding participation rates, at a similar cost, among poor households.
Accretion onto the Companion of Eta Carinae During the Spectroscopic Event: II. X-Ray Emission Cycle

description: We calculate the X-ray luminosity and light curve for the stellar binary system Eta Carinae for the entire orbital period of 5.54 years. By using a new approach we find, as suggested before, that the collision of the winds blown by the two stars can explain the X-ray emission and temporal behavior. Most X-ray emission in the $2-10 \kev$ band results from the shocked secondary stellar wind. The observed rise in X-ray luminosity just before minimum is due to increase in density and subsequent decrease in radiative cooling time of the shocked fast secondary wind. Absorption, particularly of the soft X-rays from the primary wind, increases as the system approaches periastron and the shocks are produced deep inside the primary wind. However, absorption can not account for the drastic X-ray minimum. The 70 day minimum is assumed to result from the collapse of the collision region of the two winds onto the secondary star. This process is assumed to shut down the secondary wind, hence the main X-ray source. We show that this assumption provides a phenomenological description of the X-ray behavior around the minimum.

description: Getting kids to eat more fruits and vegetables can be a significant challenge. A recent ERS study found one program was very successful in achieving the difficult objective. Many elementary and secondary students who ate free snacks of fresh and dried fruits and fresh vegetables as part of USDA's Fruit and Vegetable Pilot Program (FVPP) said they improved their eating habits and were more willing to try unfamiliar fruits and formerly disliked vegetables as a result of participating in the pilot. Funded for the 2002-03 school year at $6 million by the 2002 Farm Bill, the pilot program also was considered a success by school staff members who ran it. The pilot operated in 107 U.S. elementary and secondary schools-100 schools in 4 States (25 schools each in Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, and Ohio) and 7 schools in the Zuni Indian Tribal Organization (ITO) in New Mexico. The program's intent was to promote fresh fruit and vegetable consumption among schoolchildren as concern spreads among health experts about the increasing number of overweight and obese children. A large majority of participating schools that responded to a survey about the pilot program believe that it would be feasible to continue the pilot if funding were made available and that the funding of about $94 per student was adequate. The research brief is based on a Report to Congress, Evaluation of the USDA Fruit and Vegetable Pilot Program: Report to Congress. The current Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program is administered by USDA's Food and Nutrition Service (FNS). For information about child nutrition program participation, contact the State agencies that administer the program.

If this trend continues during the second half of fiscal 2004, expenditures for the entire fiscal year will surpass the record $41.8 billion spent on food assistance in fiscal 2003 (prior to fiscal 2003, the previous historical record was $38.1 billion set in fiscal 1996). Five programs-the Food Stamp Program, the National School Lunch Program, the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), the School Breakfast Program, and the Child and Adult Care Food Program-accounted for almost 95 percent of USDA's total expenditures for food assistance. While each of these major programs expanded during the first half of fiscal 2004, most of the increase in total food assistance expenditures was due to the expansion of the Food Stamp Program.

 Material examined. ZRC 2019.1093, 1 ovigerous female (cl 9.9 mm, pcl 9.1 mm, cw 10.0 mm), eastern Indian Ocean, south of Cilacap, Java, Indonesia, 8° 10.065 –09.802 ′S, 108° 37.439 –37.145 ′E, 970–1,013 m, mud with pieces of wood, SJADES 2018 Expedition, stn CP44, 31 March 2018.
 Remarks. The present specimen agrees well with C. chani, previously reported from the South China Sea, Taiwan and southern Japan, and represents a significant southward range extension into the eastern Indian Ocean. The key morphometric traits of the SJADES specimen are consistent with those reported by Ahyong & Ng (2017) for C. chani: pereopod 3 merus 0.95× pcl (reported range 0.91–1.02× pcl) and antennular peduncle 0.91× pcl (reported range 0.80–0.90× pcl).
 Distribution. Southern Japan, Taiwan, the northern South China Sea and now from southwestern Indonesia; 650–1,134 m (Ahyong & Ng, 2017).

description: USDA's domestic food assistance programs affect the daily lives of millions of people. About 1 in 5 Americans is estimated to participate in at least 1 of 15 food assistance programs at some point during the year. Expenditures for USDA's 15 food assistance programs increased 9.4 percent in fiscal year 2003 to $41.6 billion. This exceeded the previous historical record of $38.1 billion that was spent on food assistance in fiscal 1996. Five programs-the Food Stamp Program, the National School Lunch Program, the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), the School Breakfast Program, and the Child and Adult Care Food Program-accounted for 94 percent of USDA's total expenditures for food assistance, with the expansion of the Food Stamp Program being the cause of most of the total increase in food assistance expenditures between fiscal years 2002 and 2003.
On Quantum Operations as Quantum States

description: We formalize the correspondence between quantum states and quantum operations isometrically, and harness its consequences. This correspondence was already implicit in the various proofs of the operator sum representation of Completely Positive-preserving linear maps; we go further and show that all of the important theorems concerning quantum operations can be derived directly from those concerning quantum states. As we do so the discussion first provides an elegant and original review of the main features of quantum operations. Next (in the second half of the paper) we find more results stemming from our formulation of the correspondence. Thus we provide a factorizability condition for quantum operations, and give two novel Schmidt-type decompositions of bipartite pure states. By translating the composition law of quantum operations, we define a group structure upon the set of totally entangled states. The question whether the correspondence is merely mathematical or can be given a physical interpretation is addressed throughout the text: we provide formulae which suggest quantum states inherently define a quantum operation between two of their subsystems, and which turn out to have applications in quantum cryptography. Keywords: Kraus, CP-maps, superoperators, extremality, trace-preserving, factorizable, triangular.

description: A review of recent lattice calculations of nucleon structure and matrix elements of operators in nucleons is presented. It primarily covers developments in the calculation of the matrix elements of the scalar, tensor, pseudo-scalar, axial-vector and vector operators in the ground state of neutrons and protons in the isospin symmetric limit. Some preliminary calculations of the electric dipole moment, the gravitational moments and stress-energy distribution, and the magnetic polarizability are briefly described.

This paper deals with the question of using ceramic complexes as a foundation for isochronal existence of ceramic in wide areas. Author analyzed three types of ceramic complexes such as covered complexes, complexes considered as closed and uncovered complexes. The definition of covered ceramic complex is the one which finished it existing in one moment, was preserved and didn’t change ever after. For instance it could be a tomb, a treasure, a burned building, an inner space of oven (for ceramic complexes). The second one — complex considered as closed is the complex which combines some artifacts that were dated as isochronal for particularly period of existence (for example, settlement existence). It could be middle and lower stratum of building filling or specific building horizon as well. The third one — is a summation of findings which were uncovered in a way we could not be sure of their isochronal existence. Such complex could be formed for a long period instead of covered complex and an example of it could be the stratum of settlement filled of finds. The last types of complexes were used by author only in a case of absence any other marks for ceramic dating. Several types of ceramic complexes discovered in 42 rural settlements, hillforts, and burials were selected and analyzed by author. The dating and comparative chronology proposed by investigators was considered by author.

description: Domestic food assistance programs account for over half of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) outlays. Each year, about 1 in 5 Americans is served by 1 or more of the 15 food assistance programs aimed at improving the nutrition, well-being, and food security of needy Americans. The Economic Research Service (ERS) is responsible for conducting studies and evaluations of USDA's food assistance programs, focusing on the benefits of improved diets and food choices, factors that influence diet and nutrition, and program outcomes. This report uses preliminary data from USDA's Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) to examine trends in the food assistance programs at the midpoint of fiscal 2003. It also discusses two recent congressionally mandated studies conducted by ERS: an assessment of WIC cost-containment practices, and an evaluation of the USDA Fruit and Vegetable Pilot Program.

Boundary states and broken bulk symmetries in W A(r) minimal models

description: We study the boundary states of (p', p) rational conformal field theories having a W symmetry of the type A(r) using the multi-component free-field formalism. The classification of primary fields for these models given in the literature is shown to be incomplete; we give the correct classification by demanding modular covariance and show that the resulting modular S matrix satisfies all the necessary conditions. Basis states satisfying the boundary conditions are found in the form of coherent states and as expected we find that W violating states can be found for all these models. We construct consistent physical boundary for all the rank 2 (p+1, p) models (of which the already known case of the 3-state Potts model is the simplest example) and find that the W violating sector possesses a direct analogue of the Verlinde formula.

description: We analyze the power spectra of avalanches in two classes of self-organized critical sandpile models, the Bak-Tang-Wiesenfeld model and the Manna model. We show that these decay with a $1/f^α$ power law, where the exponent value $α$ is significantly smaller than 2 and equals the scaling exponent relating the avalanche size to its duration. We discuss the basic ingredients behind this result, such as the scaling of the average avalanche shape.

description: The influence of a longitudinal magnetic field on the Coulomb drag current created in the ballistic transport regime in a quantum well by a ballistic current in a nearby parallel quantum well is investigated. We consider the case where the magnetic field is so strong that the Larmour radius is smaller than the width of the well. Both in Ohmic and non-Ohmic case, sharp oscillations of the drag current as a function of the gate voltage or chemical potential are predicted. We also study dependence of the drag current on the voltage $V$ across the driving wire, as well as on the magnetic field $B$. Studying the Coulomb drag one can make conclusions about the electron spectrum and and electron-electron interaction in quantum wells.
