description: Land surface temperature (LST) is an important variable for assessing climate change and related environmental impacts observed in recent decades. Regular monitoring of LST using satellite sensors such as MODIS has the advantage of global coverage, including topographically complex regions such as Nepal. In order to assess the climatic and environmental changes, daytime and nighttime LST trend analysis from 2000 to 2017 using Terra-MODIS monthly daytime and nighttime LST datasets at seasonal and annual scales over the territory of Nepal was performed. The magnitude of the trend was quantified using ordinary linear regression, while the statistical significance of the trend was identified by the Modified Mann–Kendall test. Our findings suggest that the nighttime LST in Nepal increased more prominently compared to the daytime LST, with more pronounced warming in the pre-monsoon and monsoon seasons. The annual nighttime LST increased at a rate of 0.05 K yr−1 (p < 0.01), while the daytime LST change was statistically insignificant. Spatial heterogeneity of the LST and LST change was observed both during the day and the night. The daytime LST remained fairly unchanged in large parts of Nepal, while a nighttime LST rise was dominant all across Nepal in the pre-monsoon and monsoon seasons. Our results on LST trends and their spatial distribution can facilitate a better understanding of regional climate changes.

description: We consider the fundamental protocol of dense coding of classical information assuming that noise affects both the forward and backward communication lines between Alice and Bob. Assuming that this noise is described by the same quantum channel, we define its dense coding capacity by optimizing over all adaptive strategies that Alice can implement, while Bob encodes the information by means of Pauli operators. Exploiting techniques of channel simulation and protocol stretching, we are able to establish the dense coding capacity of Pauli channels in arbitrary finite dimension, with simple formulas for depolarizing and dephasing qubit channels.

description: Most plasmas have a very thin sheath compared with the plasma dimension. This necessitates separate calculations of the plasma and sheath. The Bohm criterion provides the boundary condition for calculation of plasma profiles. To calculate sheath properties a value of electric field at the plasma-sheath interface has to be specified in addition to the Bohm criterion. The value of the boundary electric field and robust procedure to approximately patch plasma and collisionless sheath with a very good accuracy are reported.

title: Learning Occupational Practice in the Absence of Expert Guidance: A Case Study of In-Home Disability Support Workers
Creators: name: Palesy, Debra Lee

subject: Manual handling, Disability carers

description: How in-home disability support workers adapt what they learn in manual handling classroom training sessions to the circumstances of their work (i.e., their clients’ homes), is central to their own safety and that of their clients. In the in-home work setting there is no “expert” for newly trained workers to closely observe or on whom to model their work practice. A particular concern, therefore, is the degree of transfer or adaptability from classroom training sessions that may assist these workers to enact safe practices, as their musculoskeletal injuries continue to occur at unacceptably high rates. Consequently, understanding how best to support these workers initially learn their occupational practice may offer considerable procedural benefits across the entire arena of working well and safely. Contemporary accounts of learning emphasise the importance of immediate social partners such as teachers and co-workers. Yet, much of our learning for work occurs without such experts. So, we need better understandings of how individuals learn from different educational experiences and adapt what they learn to their practice, and also how this learning occurs in the absence of expert guidance. A case study approach, comprising two separate practical studies, was adopted for this inquiry, which aimed to explore the personal, situational and instructional bases for realising effective learning in the absence of expert guidance. Study A comprised an exploratory investigation in which a community service organisation’s existing manual handling training situation was appraised by way of semi-structured interviews and direct observation of support workers, and a trajectory for learning in situations of relative social isolation was proposed. Study B comprised an intervention, where the proposed trajectory was implemented for a group of new support workers learning manual handling. The effectiveness of this program was appraised, again through semi-structured interviews and direct observation. A reconciliation of both studies led to conclusions about the best ways that learning in relative social isolation may progress.
Dilemmas of Empire:  Movement, Communication, and Information Management in Ming China, 1368-1644

description: This dissertation analyzes the dilemmas of governance that confronted the Chinese state under the Ming dynasty. These dilemmas, I argue, arose from the Ming's dual existence as an empire (a state that ruled over a large territory) and a bureaucracy (a state that ruled through written documents and hierarchically-structured offices). As a bureaucratic empire, the Ming pursued several distinct objectives simultaneously, the resulting complications of which form the focus of my investigations. Chapter 1 describes the Ming state's methods for authenticating and synchronizing information, and shows how the needs of bureaucratic communication necessitated a seemingly redundant style of administrative writing. Chapter 2 explains why the postal system, despite its creators' best intentions, turned out to be much slower than non-postal methods of communication. Chapter 3 discusses how territorial officials made regular trips to the capital to participate in state rituals and to undergo personnel evaluations, even though the trips generated great costs and undermined local security. Chapter 4 examines the long time it took for officials to transfer from one province to another and the bureaucratic needs that slowed down their movement. Ultimately, the Ming state maintained a delicate equilibrium between four conflicting objectives: speed, cost-saving, administrative certainty, and propriety. Given the constrains of premodern communication, it was logistically impossible to meet all four objectives simultaneously. Any attempt to advance one objective necessarily undermined one or more of the other objectives, and no amount of investment in transportation or communication infrastructure could have resolved this basic tension.

Digital Signal Processing with Signal-Derived Timing: Analysis and Implementation

description: This work investigates two different digital signal processing (DSP) approaches that rely on signal-derived timing: continuous-time (CT) DSP and variable-rate DSP. Both approaches enable designs of energy-efficient signal processing systems by relating their operation rates to the input activity.
      The majority of this thesis focuses on CT-DSP, whose operations are completely digital in CT, without the use of a clock. The spectral features of CT digital signals are analyzed first, demonstrating a general pattern of the quantization noise spectrum added in CT amplitude quantization. Then the focus is narrowed to the investigations of the system characteristics and architecture of CT digital infinite-impulse-response (IIR) filters, which are barely studied in the previous work on this topic. This thesis discusses and addresses previously unreported stability issue in CT digital IIR filters with the presence of delay-line mismatches and proposes an innovative method to design high-order CT digital IIR filters with only two tap delays. Introducing an event detector allows the operation rate of a CT digital IIR filter to closely track the input activity even though it is a feedback system. For the first time, the filtered CT digital signal is converted to a synchronous digital signal. This facilitates integrating the CT digital filter and conventional discrete-time systems and expands the applications of the former. This discussion uses a computationally efficient interpolation filter to improve the signal accuracy of the synchronous digital output. On the circuit level, a new delay-cell design is introduced. It ensures low jitter, good matching, robust communication with adjacent circuits and event-independent delay.
      An integrated circuit (IC) with all these ideas adopted was fabricated in a TSMC 65 nm LP CMOS process. It is the first IC implementation of a CT digital IIR filter. It can process signals with a data rate up to 20 MHz. Thanks to the IIR response and the 16-bit resolution used in the system, the implemented filter can achieve a frequency response much more versatile and accurate than the CT digital filters in prior art. The implemented system features an agile power adaptive to input activity, varying from 2.32mW (full activity) to 40μW (idle) with no power-management circuitry.
      The second part of the thesis discusses a variable-rate DSP capable of processing samples with a variable sampling rate. The clock rate in the variable-rate DSP tracks the input sampling rate. Compared to a fixed-rate DSP, the proposed system has a lower output data rate and hence is more computationally efficient. A reconstruction filter with a variable cutoff frequency is used to reconstruct the output. The signal-to-noise ratio remains fixed when the sampling rate changes.

description: This dissertation is an ethnographic study of the Iraqi diasporic community in the UK. It is based on two years of fieldwork research I conducted there between 2006-2008. I approach the formation of the diasporic community in light of utopian visions of a past colored by colonial struggle and high national aspirations, and in light of subsequent political developments that resulted in oppression, exile, and even occupation after 2003. I read the displacement of Iraqis as an example of the failure of the postcolonial state, represented by the emergence of the Baath regime in the 1960s and Saddam Hussein's rise to power in 1979. Throughout, I examine the heightened salience of sectarianism among Iraqis in exile and in Iraq since the 1990s. Instead of understanding sectarianism as a return to traditional loyalties, I argue that it is deeply linked to the issue of power and identity politics, which the Iraqi opposition to Saddam Hussein's regime in the UK employed while in exile and institutionalized after the fall of the regime in 2003 with the support of the US Administration. This dissertation is, also, an ethnographic study of Iraq, and aims to make up for the dearth in anthropological studies on Iraq during the last four decades. In addition to questions related to exile and life in the UK, I seek to tease out accounts about Iraq, and about life in Iraq under Saddam Hussein's regime. The great majority of Iraqis fled Iraq because of Saddam Hussein's brutal oppression, and they all had family members who were killed, tortured or disappeared. With their hopes of return to Iraq shattered after the 2003 US occupation, these Iraqis have been reliving these tragedies every single day in the UK. This is the reality that travels with, and defines, them. Through the use of life history methodologies with Iraqi exiles from different socioeconomic backgrounds, I document the different social and political scenes prior to and after the late 1970s; the persecution suffered under Saddam Hussein's regime since the late 1970s; the journey to and life in exile in London; relationships among members of the diasporic Iraqi community therein; and the ways in which those in exile reconfigure the past in relation to the present developments.

description: A Banach space $X$ is said to have the Daugavet property if every operator $T: X\to X$ of rank~$1$ satisfies $\|Id+T\| = 1+\|T\|$. We show that then every weakly compact operator satisfies this equation as well and that $X$ contains a copy of $\ell_{1}$. However, $X$ need not contain a copy of $L_{1}$. We also study pairs of spaces $X\subset Y$ and operators $T: X\to Y$ satisfying $\|J+T\|=1+\|T\|$, where $J: X\to Y$ is the natural embedding. This leads to the result that a Banach space with the Daugavet property does not embed into a space with an unconditional basis. In another direction, we investigate spaces where the set of operators with $\|Id+T\|=1+\|T\|$ is as small as possible and give characterisations in terms of a smoothness condition.

We establish natural and in a certain sense optimal conditions for existence and uniqueness of the invariant measure and exponential convergence of transition probabilities of an order-preserving Markov process. As an application, we show exponential ergodicity and exponentially fast synchronization-by-noise of the stochastic reaction-diffusion equation in the hypoelliptic setting.

Diminishing the Side Effects of Cancer Treatment by Improving Treatment Delivery
Creators: Kalin, Alexander
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2012
Subjects: Medicine

description: Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in the world and is expected to become more prevalent each year. Cancer is caused by the uncontrollable growth of cells within the human body. This excessive growth can lead to the formation of malignant tumors, which invade parts of the body. Currently, the most common approach to treating cancer is surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation treatment. However, chemotherapy and radiation can cause drastic, harmful side effects to patients because they not only affect cancer cells, but normal proliferative cells as well. In many cases, a particular chemotherapy is avoided because the risks of side effects greatly outweigh the effect of the drug on the tumor. Therefore, if adverse effects are going to be eliminated and cancer treatment optimized, tumor cells must be specifically targeted and normal cells spared. One method of generating tumor specificity in cancer treatment that has recently gained interest and optimism is the use of medical devices. As technology has improved, the possibilities and applications of medical devices have become nearly limitless. In cancer treatment, medical devices can guide their cargo, whether it is a drug or radiation, directly to tumor sites within the patient. As a result, adverse effects should be diminished and cancer treatment should be optimized.
Diplomatic Aesthetics: Globalization and Contemporary Native Art
Creators: Watson, Mark James
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2012
Subjects: Art

description: This dissertation examines contemporary Native American art after postmodernism. It argues that this art can best be understood as an agent within the global indigenous rights movement. Employing an object-based methodology, it shows that three particularly important works by the artists Jimmie Durham, James Luna, and Alan Michelson recover histories and strategies of Native cultural diplomacy as a means of challenging cultural erasure and political domination. I suggest this can be understood as a Native rights version of what Hal Foster calls the "archival impulse" in contemporary art after postmodernism. Diplomatic in effect, this Native art engages international viewers in an argument about justice, challenging a largely non-native audience to recognize the ethical legitimacy of Native empowerment and the contemporary relevance of indigenous political and cultural models. These models, which I put in dialogue with the indigenist philosophy of Taiaiake Alfred, the recent writings of art critics like Foster, and interviews with each of the artists, are presented as alternative models for all peoples. Against what Alfred calls the "culture war" of contemporary globalization--which aims to extinguish indigenous cultural frameworks once and for all--this art establishes a "regime of respect" among peoples with different visions for their respective futures. In so doing, it asserts balance and solidarity against the explosion of inequity within both the contemporary art world and the neoimperial lifeworlds of globalization.
I organize my research into four chapters. The first chapter unpacks the uncertain place of Native art within postmodern and globalization discourse developed largely without reference to indigenous rights. It proposes an alternative framework of indigenist "diplomatic aesthetics" for understanding the way contemporary Native art globalizes indigenous ideals of international relations. The subsequent chapters examine three twenty-first century artworks, each of which recovers a diplomatic model and cultural framework specific from the history of the artist's tribe. These are cases studies of diplomatic aesthetics. My close analysis of specific art works, their multiple historical and cultural imbrications, and their global context and agency is meant to counter the limited engagement with specific art works in existing context-driven scholarship. It also counters the postmodern framing of Native art, which problematically emphasizes "identity" and "representation" over the politics of sovereignty, indigenous intellectual paradigms, or the global agency of Native art and ideas.

subject: Cultural differences in music

description: This research considers musicians from different cultural backgrounds, improvising together, and ‘improvising’ new musical contexts. It springs from my practice as a composer and improvising guitarist, exploring the borders between South Indian Carnatic music and jazz. The process of collaborating with musicians from different traditions raises questions about the ways that musicians draw on their acquired knowledge in the production of intercultural music: How do musicians from different cultures interpret each others’ musical gestures and negotiate a cohesive performance? At play throughout the dissertation are the conflicting notions of individual expression, and culturally derived archetypal models of expression. The relationship between musicians and cultures is explored through an ethnographic methodology. The dissertation begins with a critical review of the literature on intercultural hybridity that reveals the way that power inequalities have historically characterised many of the exchanges between the West and its Others. In the course of analysing the products of interculture, the discussion also examines the inherent problem of hybridity’s reception, given the different cultural frames of reference of different audiences. From the analysis of hybridity, improvisation emerges as a key locus for examining the way in which musicians are heard to negotiate self and culture in intercultural hybridity. A new understanding of improvisation is proposed based on an examination of the literature from diverse disciplines including cognitive psychology, complex adaptive systems, embodiment and ethnographic accounts of improvisers. Improvisation is situated as a dynamic process of developing preferences based on cultural acquisition, which enables us to understand the different approaches developed by improvisers and broader cultural differences between musical systems. The relationship between improvisation and culture necessitates a rethinking of the way that we listen to and analyse the products of interculture.

description: The four-lepton decay mode of the Higgs boson allows for a clean kinematic reconstruction, thereby enabling precision studies of the Higgs boson properties and of its production dynamics. We compute the NNLO QCD corrections to fiducial cross sections relevant to this decay mode in the gluon-fusion production of a Higgs boson in association with a hadronic jet, and study the impact of the QCD corrections on the fiducial acceptance factors in inclusive Higgs and Higgs-plus-jet production. We investigate in detail the different definitions used in the ATLAS and CMS measurements to define the fiducial cross sections. Differences in the lepton isolation prescription are found to have a sizeable impact on the higher order corrections to the fiducial acceptance factors.

description: To investigate the effect of surface roughness on the calculation of optical constants, e.g., the complex refractive index n+ik or ( n,k ) of CuIn1−xGaxSe2 (CIGSe) thin films, we took CuInSe2 (CISe) and CuGaSe2 (CGSe) as examples and applied the “Modified Transfer-Matrix (MTM)” method to calculate optical constants with considering the effect of scattering due to surface roughness. Compared to the Transfer-Matrix (TM) method without considering surface roughness, it was revealed that the MTM method could improve the accuracy of calculation. The calculated refractive index values from the MTM method increase by 6.89% for CISe and 2.59% for CGSe in contrast to those from the TM method. In addition, bromine solution was confirmed via Scanning Electron Microscopy and Atomic Force Microscopy to be able to reduce the surface roughness. Calculated results from smoothened samples showed that the accuracy of calculated optical constants was further improved. Finally, optical constants calculated by the MTM method were compared to those from smoothened samples, validating that the MTM method could eliminate the influence of surface roughness on the calculation of optical constants more effectively for CGSe with low surface roughness than for CISe with high surface roughness.

description: We introduce a deep machine learning approach to studying quasar microlensing light curves for the first time by analyzing hundreds of thousands of simulated light curves with respect to the accretion disc size and temperature profile. Our results indicate that it is possible to successfully classify very large numbers of diverse light curve data and measure the accretion disc structure. The detailed shape of the accretion disc brightness profile is found to play a negligible role, in agreement with Mortonson et al. (2005). The speed and efficiency of our deep machine learning approach is ideal for quantifying physical properties in a `big-data' problem setup. This proposed approach looks promising for analyzing decade-long light curves for thousands of microlensed quasars, expected to be provided by the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope.

description: Scientific publishing is in a transition between the old paper-bound, static forms and the new electronic media with its interactive, dynamic possibilities. This takes place in the context of imploding library budgets and exploding magazine costs. The scientists as authors, reviewers and editors of scientific journals are exposed to an increased pressure by the their administrations and the public towards quantification, objectification and certification of scientific achievements. The ``publication roulette'' resulting from low-quality editorial procedures often amounts to malign censorship, which not only is experienced as a frustration by the authors, but is also delaying and hampering the progress of science. It also leads to a waste of funds under the cover of pseudo-objectivity and pseudo-legitimacy of financial decisions. Different solutions are outlined and discussed. As concerns scientific publishing, an e-print service should be established, which, in continuation of existing e-servers such as arxiv.org, is operated either directly by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, or by an international consortium. In order to become generally accepted by the scientists, certification criteria must be provided, which would make it possible to successfully pursue a scientific career besides the traditional peer reviewed print publications.

title: The Moose and the Motor: Climate Change, Place, and Environmental Interference in Rural Northern Sweden
Creators: name: Bartlett, Flora Mary
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2020

description: This thesis examines the experience of landscape and place among inhabitants of Arjeplog, in the rural north of Sweden, and the friction between different ideas of nature, environmentalism and climate change. Using photography intertwined with traditional anthropological methods, I show how the local community care fiercely for their lifestyle and local nature while tensions exist in the landscape between attempts at sustainable traditional living and the voices of environmentalism coming from the south. This must be understood within the wider history of the north as a resource landscape: resources have long been pillaged in the name of humanistic capitalism, and the ‘wilderness’ narrative surrounding the north has made it a prime location for locally disruptive renewable energies in nation-building ‘green’ modernization projects of the state. Contemporary national conversations of environmentalism are seen as a continuation of this interference: voices of anthropogenic (human caused) climate change are understood as emanating from the same urban population, seen as an out of touch ‘other’ with little understanding of the rural north. If we are to examine climate change anthropologically, we must also look to those places where the consensus is rejected and doubted, and where certain voices are held in doubt: to look at locally felt places, landscapes and nature to understand how these discourses are enmeshed in problematic structures and north-south, rural-urban divisions, and the processes by which they are rejected. This also requires acknowledging our own place as researchers, and how our views on global environmental matters are themselves shaped by where we come from. Using experimental visual methods including photograms, pinhole cameras, exhibition spaces, and curatorial roles allowed an exploration of aesthetics of nature and landscape: how Arjeplog should be represented and what was important to show through my visual representation of place. The images work throughout the thesis to present place visually in relationship with the text, disrupting the vulnerability, resilience and adaptation narrative of climate change through exploring emplaced environmentalism.
Second-order linear differential equations with two irregular singular points of rank three: the characteristic exponent

description: For a second-order linear differential equation with two irregular singular points of rank three, multiple Laplace-type contour integral solutions are considered. An explicit formula in terms of the Stokes multipliers is derived for the characteristic exponent of the multiplicative solutions. The Stokes multipliers are represented by converging series with terms for which limit formulas as well as more detailed asymptotic expansions are available. Here certain new, recursively known coefficients enter, which are closely related to but different from the coefficients of the formal solutions at one of the irregular singular points of the differential equation. The coefficients of the formal solutions then appear as finite sums over subsets of the new coefficients. As a by-product, the leading exponential terms of the asymptotic behaviour of the late coefficients of the formal solutions are given, and this is a concrete example of the structural results obtained by Immink in a more general setting. The formulas displayed in this paper are not of merely theoretical interest, but they also are complete in the sense that they could be (and have been) implemented for computing accurate numerical values of the characteristic exponent, although the computational load is not small and increases with the rank of the singular point under consideration.

Towards an accurate description of an accretion induced collapse and the associated ejected mass

Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We revisit the accretion-induced collapse (AIC) process, in which a white dwarf collapses into a neutron star. We are motivated by the persistent radio source associated with the fast radio burst FRB 121102, which was explained by Waxman as a weak stellar explosion with a small ($\sim 10^{-5}M_{\odot}$) mildly relativistic mass ejection that may be consistent with AIC. Additionally, the interaction of the relatively low ejected mass with a pre-collapse wind might be related to fast optical transients. The AIC is simulated with a one-dimensional, Lagrangian, Newtonian hydrodynamic code. We put an emphasis on accurately treating the equation of state and the nuclear burning, which is required for any study that attempts to accurately simulate AIC. We leave subjects such as neutrino physics and general relativity corrections for future work. Using an existing initial profile and our own initial profiles, we find that the ejected mass is $\sim 10^{-2}$ to $10^{-1}M_{\odot}$ over a wide range of parameters, and we construct a simple model to explain our results.

description: We construct a family of integral kernels for solving the \bar\partial equation with C^k and Holder estimates in thin tubes around totally real submanifolds in complex Eulidean spaces (theorems 1.1 and 3.1). Combining this with the proof of a theorem of Serre we solve the d-equation with estimates for holomorphic forms in such tubes (theorem 5.1). We apply these techniques and a method of Moser to approximate C^k-diffeomorphisms between totally real submanifolds in C^n in the C^k-topology by biholomorphic mappings in tubes, by unimodular and symplectic biholomorphic mappings, and by holomorphic automorphisms of C^n.
