Black megachurches and social services
Creators: name: Drewery, Jr., Malcolm P.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Black megachurches, with weekly church attendance figures of 2,000 or more participants and activities seven days a week, have the ability to provide numerous social services in the form of volunteers, financial resources, and support networks. These churches, among the largest institutions in the Black community, raise several questions and issues of interest about their potential social impact. Secondary data analysis from the Faith Factor 2000 database of Black churches (n = 1,863) and linear regression modeling are used to study the effect church size (in particular, the Black megachurch) has on social service delivery in the Black community and what church dynamics motivate social service involvement. An important aspect of this debate involves the dual role of the Black church as both a spiritual and social institution. The theories of several sociologists including, Karl Marx (1964), Emile Durkheim (1915), W.E.B. Du Bois (1903) and more recently, Lincoln and Mamiya (1990) address this dichotomy. Employing the theoretical framework and methods developed by Barnes (2004), this study closely examines the social service activities of churches of different sizes---particularly, the Black megachurches---and how those activities affect the overall social service activities of the Black community. Results show that Megachurches offer more types of social service activities than smaller sized churches but, the number of social service programs they offer do not statistically differ. Additionally, churches in good financial health, with better-educated, paid clergy positively influence social service sponsorship. While variables associated with a prophetic function have a greater influence on social service, variables that reflect a priestly function, specifically whether churches sponsor religious programs, are also important in motivating churches to provide social services. This study adds to the growing literature on Black megachurches by providing evidence of church size effect on the character and extent of social service delivery by Black churches to Black communities. It also explores the factors that lead Black churches to take part in social service activities.
Escape Times in Fluctuating Metastable Potential and Acceleration of Diffusion in Periodic Fluctuating Potentials

description: The problems of escape from metastable state in randomly flipping potential and of diffusion in fast fluctuating periodic potentials are considered. For the overdamped Brownian particle moving in a piecewise linear dichotomously fluctuating metastable potential we obtain the mean first-passage time (MFPT) as a function of the potential parameters, the noise intensity and the mean rate of switchings of the dichotomous noise. We find noise enhanced stability (NES) phenomenon in the system investigated and the parameter region of the fluctuating potential where the effect can be observed. For the diffusion of the overdamped Brownian particle in a fast fluctuating symmetric periodic potential we obtain that the effective diffusion coefficient depends on the mean first-passage time, as discovered for fixed periodic potential. The effective diffusion coefficients for sawtooth, sinusoidal and piecewise parabolic potentials are calculated in closed analytical form.

Unbounded Bell violations for quantum genuine multipartite non-locality

description: The violations of Bell inequalities by measurements on quantum states give rise to the phenomenon of quantum non-locality and express the advantage of using quantum resources over classical ones for certain information-theoretic tasks. The relative degree of quantum violations has been well studied in the bipartite scenario and in the multipartite scenario with respect to fully local behaviours. However, the multipartite setting entails a more complex classification in which different notions on non-locality can be established. In particular, genuine multipartite non-local distributions apprehend truly multipartite effects, given that these behaviours cannot be reproduced by bilocal models that allow correlations among strict subsets of the parties beyond a local common cause. We show here that, while in the so-called correlation scenario the relative violation of bilocal Bell inequalities by quantum resources is bounded, i.e. it does not grow arbitrarily with the number of inputs, it turns out to be unbounded in the general case. We identify Bell functionals that take the form of non-local games for which the ratio of the quantum and bilocal values grows unboundedly as a function of the number of inputs and outputs.

description: We present a technique for constructing equilibrium triaxial N-body haloes with nearly arbitrary density profiles, axial ratios and spin parameters. The method is based on the way in which structures form in hierarchical cosmological simulations, where prolate and oblate haloes form via mergers with low and high angular momentum, respectively. We show that major mergers between equilibrium spherical cuspy haloes produce similarly cuspy triaxial remnants and higher angular-momentum mergers produce systems with lower concentrations. Triaxial haloes orbiting within deeper potentials become more spherical and their velocity dispersion tensors more isotropic. The rate of mass loss depends sensitively on the halo shape: a prolate halo can lose mass at a rate several times higher than an isotropic spherical halo with the same density profile. Subhaloes within cosmological simulations are significantly rounder than field haloes with axial ratios that are ~ 30% larger.

description: This paper studies the integration of deposit and loan markets, which may be constrained by the geographic dispersion of depositors, borrowers, and banks. This dispersion results in problems of asymmetric information, monitoring and transaction costs, which in turn may prevent deposits from owing from areas of low demand for loans to areas of high demand. We provide systematic evidence on the extent to which deposits and loans are geographically imbalanced, and develop a methodology for investigating the contribution of (i) branch networks, (ii) local market power, and (iii) economies of scope to this imbalance using data at the bank-county- year level from the US banking industry for 1998-2010. Our results are based on the construction of an index which measures the geographic imbalance of deposits and loans, and the estimation of a structural model of bank oligopoly competition for deposits and loans in multiple geographic markets. The estimated model shows that a bank's total deposits have a significant effect on the bank's market shares in loan markets. We also find evidence of significant economies of scope between deposits and loans at the local level. Counterfactual experiments show that multi-state branch networks contribute significantly to the geographic ow of credit but benefit especially larger/richer counties. Local market power has a very substantial negative effect on the ow of credit to smaller/poorer counties.

description: We calculate the equation of state of a two-component Fermi gas with attractive short-range interspecies interactions using the fixed-node diffusion Monte Carlo method. The interaction strength is varied over a wide range by tuning the value $a$ of the s-wave scattering length of the two-body potential. For $a>0$ and $a$ smaller than the inverse Fermi wavevector our results show a molecular regime with repulsive interactions well described by the dimer-dimer scattering length $a_m=0.6 a$. The pair correlation functions of parallel and opposite spins are also discussed as a function of the interaction strength.

description: We apply the image subtraction method to re-analyze the ESO Very Large Telescope data on M83 (NGC 5236), obtained and analyzed by Thim et al. Whereas Thim et al. found 12 Cepheids with periods between 12-55 days, we find 112 Cepheids with periods ranging from 7-91 days, as well as ~60 other variables. These include 2 candidate eclipsing binaries, which, if confirmed, would be the first optically discovered outside the Local Group. We thus demonstrate that the image subtraction method is much more powerful for detecting variability, especially in crowded fields. However, HST observations are necessary to obtain a Cepheid period-luminosity distance not dominated by blending and crowding. We propose a ``hybrid'' approach, where numerous Cepheids are discovered and characterized using large ground-based telescopes and then followed-up with the HST to obtain precise distances.

African American student involvement in campus affinity organizations: An exploratory study of impact
Creators: name: Gerlach, Karen Lynn
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: There are significant gaps in college completion rates between White students and minority students in higher education today, and the retention rates of African American students are the most troubling. According to the US Department of Education, African American students graduate at lower rates than White, Hispanic or Asian students (Horn, 2006). Further, African American students attending predominantly white institutions are at a greater risk of not completing college than other students (Horn, 2006; Knapp, Kelly-Reid & Whitmore 2006). Therefore, understanding the influences on retention of African American students is vital to increasing their completion rates. Student Involvement theory (Astin, 1985) acknowledges the generally positive role that involvement plays in the life of a student, affecting satisfaction, academic gains, adjustment to college life and retention. The research described in this study shows that students change because of their involvement and that engagement in campus student organizations, in particular, has a positive impact on students. This study responded to the need to expand the analysis of student engagement beyond looking at heterogeneous populations of college students. A detailed investigation of African American student involvement in on-campus extra-curricular organizations at a predominantly white institution was conducted in order to explore how these students were impacted by their engagement in race-based, ethnic-centered, affinity student organizations. A survey instrument was developed to capture basic demographic information; information about students' involvement in on-campus extra-curricular activities; students' opinions of student organizations in general and, specifically, regarding affinity organizations; the extent of students' culturally homogeneous or multicultural social involvement; and information about students' sense of belonging to campus. Data were collected from 66 respondents, African American undergraduates enrolled at a private doctoral, urban, east coast predominately white institution in the spring of 2007. Findings revealed that even though respondents had strong positive feelings about the benefits of affinity organizations, they were less involved in, and had less reliance on, affinity organizations as compared to overall involvement in on-campus student organizations. Recommendations are offered to help direct student and administrative support toward those activities that help to improve the experiences, satisfaction and retention rates of African American college students attending predominately white institutions.

description: We consider the question of simplicity of a ring $R$ under the action of its ring of differential operators $D_R$. We give examples to show that even when $R$ is Gorenstein and has rational singularities $R$ need not be a simple $D_R$-module; for example, this is the case when $R$ is the homogeneous coordinate ring of a smooth cubic surface. Our examples are homogeneous coordinate rings of smooth Fano varieties, and our proof proceeds by showing that the tangent bundle of such a variety need not be big. We also give a partial converse showing that when $R$ is the homogeneous coordinate ring of a smooth projective variety $X$, embedded by some multiple of its canonical divisor, then simplicity of $R$ as a $D_R$-module implies that $X$ is Fano and thus $R$ has rational singularities.

Оценив данные индекса длины семян пшеницы, можно увидеть, что наилучшие результаты имеют семена в образцах почвы с минимальным содержанием загрязнения (Zn 0,5 ПДК) с концентрацией антибиотика 300 мг/кг. Низкий индекс длины проросших семян наблюдается в образцах почвы с минимальным содержанием загрязнения (Zn 0,5 ПДК) с концентрацией 100 мг/кг. Рассматривая полученные данные по влиянию загрязнения почвы и содержания различной концентрации антибиотика на индекс массы семян пшеницы, можно судить, что лучшие результаты имеют проросшие семяна в образцах почвы также с минимальным содержанием загрязнения (Zn 0,5 ПДК) с концентрацией антибиотика 300 мг/кг. Низкий индекс массы семян наблюдается в образцах почвы с максимальным содержанием загрязнения (Zn 10 ПДК) с концентрацией антибиотика 0 мг/кг.

description: We provide a framework for empirical analysis of negotiated-price markets. Using mortgage market data and a search and negotiation model, we characterize the welfare impact of search frictions and quantify the role of search costs and brand loyalty for market power. Search frictions reduce consumer surplus by $12/month/consumer, 28% of which can be associated with discrimination, 22% with inefficient matching, and 50% with search costs. Large consumer-base banks have margins 70% higher than those with small consumer bases. The main source of this incumbency advantage is brand loyalty; however, price discrimination based on search frictions accounts for almost a third.

description: In a fermionic quantum vacuum, the parameters k_μof a CPT-violating Chern-Simons-like action term induced by CPT-violating parameters of the fermionic sector depend on the universality class of the system. As a concrete example, we consider the Dirac Hamiltonian of a massive fermionic quasiparticle and add a particular term with purely-spacelike CPT-violating parameters b_μ=(0,{\bf b}). A quantum phase transition separates two phases, one with a fully-gapped fermion spectrum and the other with topologically-protected Fermi points (gap nodes). The emergent Chern-Simons ``vector'' k_μ=(0,{\bf k}) now consists of two parts. The regular part, {\bf k}^{reg}, is an analytic function of |{\bf b}| across the quantum phase transition and may be nonzero due to explicit CPT violation at the fundamental level. The anomalous (nonanalytic) part, {\bf k}^{anom}, comes solely from the Fermi points and is proportional to their splitting. In the context of condensed-matter physics, the quantum phase transition may occur in the region of the BEC-BCS crossover for Cooper pairing in the p-wave channel. For elementary particle physics, the splitting of Fermi points may lead to neutrino oscillations, even if the total electromagnetic Chern-Simons-like term cancels out.

Dark Matter and Dark Energy from the solution of the strong CP problem

Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: The Peccei Quinn (PQ) solution of the strong CP problem requires the existence of axions, which are a viable candidate for Dark Matter. Here we show that, if the Nambu Goldstone potential of the PQ model is replaced by a potential V(|Φ|) admitting a tracker solution, the scalar field |Φ| can account for Dark Energy, while the phase of Φyields axion Dark Matter. Such Dark Matter and Dark Energy turn out to be weakly coupled. If V is a SUGRA potential, the model essentially depends on a single parameter, the energy scale Λ. Once we set Λ\simeq 10^{10} GeV, at the quark--hadron transition, |Φ| naturally passes through values suitable to solve the strong CP problem, later growing to values providing fair amounts of Dark Matter and Dark Energy. In this model, the linear growth factor, from recombination to now, is quite close to \LambdaCDM. The selected Λvalue can be an indication of the scale where the soft breaking of SUSY occurred.

In a previous paper, we showed that procedures based on randomization inference (RI) can work well in such cases. However, RI can be imprac- tical when the number of clusters is small. We propose a bootstrap-based alternative to randomization inference, which mitigates the discrete nature of RI P values in the few-clusters case.

description: We consider the fractional cointegrated vector autoregressive (CVAR) model of Johansen and Nielsen (2012a) and make two distinct contributions. First, in their con- sistency proof, Johansen and Nielsen (2012a) imposed moment conditions on the errors that depend on the parameter space, such that when the parameter space is larger, stronger moment conditions are required. We show that these moment conditions can be relaxed, and for consistency we require just eight moments regardless of the pa- rameter space. Second, Johansen and Nielsen (2012a) assumed that the cointegrating vectors are stationary, and we extend the analysis to include the possibility that the cointegrating vectors are nonstationary. Both contributions require new analysis and results for the asymptotic properties of the likelihood function of the fractional CVAR model, which we provide. Finally, our analysis follows recent research and applies a parameter space large enough that the usual (non-fractional) CVAR model constitutes an interior point and hence can be tested against the fractional model using a x2-test.

A federal foundation for wildlife conservation: The evolution of the National Wildlife Refuge System, 1920--1968
Creators: name: Giese, Michael W.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This dissertation examines the growth and evolution of the National Wildlife Refuge System in the half century between the end of the Progressive Era and the beginning of the environmental movement. Best known today as a protector of endangered biological species, American policymakers originally institutionalized the refuge system in the 1920s to assist in the perpetuation of large-scale migratory waterfowl flights and attendant duck and goose hunting. This study begins by carefully reviewing the decade-long legislative fight for the original refuge system authorization, the Migratory Bird Conservation Act of 1929. Subsequent legislation, including the Migratory Bird Hunting Stamp (Duck Stamp) Act of 1934, Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration (Pittman-Robertson) Act of 1937, the Duck Stamp Act Amendments of 1949 and 1958, Refuge Recreation Act of 1962, and the National Wildlife Refuge System Administration Act of 1966 is contextualized within a four-decade effort to implement a waterfowl-centered refuge system. By situating the gradual evolution of the refuge system from manager of migratory waterfowl to protector of endangered species within the legislative process, this study highlights the too often ignored congressional role in environmental policymaking. With a five-decade scope, it recognizes and analyzes continuities missed by more traditional accounts focused on presidential administrations. It also provides a much needed historical examination of the National Wildlife Refuge System, one of the four major public land system managed by the United States government, but largely ignored by historians, in the crucial historical evolution from conservation to environmentalism.

description: We present the K-band Hubble diagrams (K-z relations) of sub-mm-selected galaxies and hyperluminous galaxies (HLIRGs). We report the discovery of a remarkably tight K-z relation of HLIRGs, indistinguishable from that of the most luminous radiogalaxies. Like radiogalaxies, the HLIRG K-z relation at z~2 magnitudes fainter, and the population has a much larger dispersion. We argue that dust obscuration and/or a larger mass range may be responsible for this scatter. The galaxies so far proved to be hyperluminous may have been biased towards higher AGN bolometric contributions than sub-mm-selected galaxies due to the 60 micron selection of some, so the location on the K-z relation may be related to the presence of the most massive AGN. Alternatively, a particular host galaxy mass range may be responsible for both extreme star formation and the most massive active nuclei.

Molecular Gas in the Lensed Lyman Break Galaxy cB58

description: We have used the IRAM Plateau de Bure Interferometer to map CO(3-2) emission from the gravitationally lensed Lyman break galaxy MS1512-cB58. This is the first detection of a molecular emission line in any Lyman break system; its integrated intensity implies a total molecular gas mass of 6.6e9 Msun, while its width implies a dynamical mass of 1.0e10 csc^2i Msun (for a flat Lambda=0.7 cosmology). These estimates are in excellent concordance with nearly all parameters of the system measured at other wavelengths, and yield a consistent picture of past and future star formation with no obvious discrepancies requiring explanation by differential lensing. In particular, we find that the age and remaining lifetime of the current episode of star formation are likely to be similar; the surface densities of star formation and molecular gas mass are related by a Schmidt law; and the fraction of baryonic mass already converted into stars is sufficient to account for the observed enrichment of the interstellar medium to 0.4 Zsun. Barring substantial gas inflow or a major merger, the stars forming in the current episode will have mass and coevality at z=0 similar to those of a spiral bulge. Assuming cB58 is a typical Lyman break galaxy apart from its magnification, its global parameters suggest that the prescriptions for star formation used in some semi-analytic models of galaxy evolution require moderate revision, although the general prediction that gas mass fraction should increase with redshift is validated.

description: Properly managed sanitation systems and improved wastewater treatment are important for safeguarding environment and enhancing sustainable livelihoods in vast areas of South and Southeast Asian countries. Recovering nutrients and energy from organic waste and wastewater is an effective option for improving environmental and health security, rehabilitating agricultural soils and improving energy and food access for the poor in these countries. This study addressed the technical potentials and investment climate for wider adoption of resources recovery and reuse (RRR) technologies in this region. Reviewing results and technical calculations indicated poor sanitation in India and Nepal in contrast to high levels of sanitation in Sri Lanka. However, despite comparatively higher levels of fecal sludge and wastewater treatment in Sri Lanka than the remaining countries, levels of waste treatment and recycling are much lower than their potential level in all countries of the region. Lack of financial resources, lack of awareness on hazardous impacts of poor sanitation, poor governance and high corruption levels in the system are pointed out as key barriers for wider implementation of waste and wastewater treatment and recycling technologies. Improving regulatory frameworks and governmental support through establishing subsidy programs, raising the awareness of population on environmental safeguarding, improving the skill capacity and technologies as well as ensuring quality standards can enhance wider implementation of RRR options.
On the stability of hole crystals in layered cuprates

description: Recent STM measurements have revealed the existence of periodic charge modulations at the surface of certain cuprate superconductors. Here we show that the observed patterns are compatible with the formation of a three-dimensional crystal of doped holes, with space correlations extending between different Cu-O layers. This puts severe constraints on the dynamical stability of the crystallised hole structure, resulting in a close relationship between the periodicity of the electronic modulation and the interlayer distance.
