description: Since the World Trade Organization is established, Preferential Trade Agreements (PTAs) proliferate. Most countries in East Asia also have concluded many PTAs with the countries in the region or the countries in other continents. Based on this situation, this dissertation examines the motivations for PTAs and the networks of PTAs, and claims that an East Asia FTA is viable although there are some obstacles to overcome. However, this dissertation also expects that an East Asia FTA is not likely to eliminate all trade remedies from the trade between the parties to it from the beginning of its establishment, even accepting the notion that trade remedies would be eliminated from PTAs eventually. Thus, a viable solution would be a compromise. This dissertation provides viable proposals for the provisions on trade remedies of a possible East Asia FTA, considering the fact that an East Asia FTA will consist of many countries in different stages of economic development. For this purpose, provisions on trade remedies of existing PTAs are examined. Through examining and comparing the provisions on trade remedies of various PTAs, more viable suggestions are presented. Then, this dissertation also provides some proposals for an East Asia FTA on the forum for dispute settlement regarding trade remedies, assuming that an East Asia FTA may impose special rights and obligations on the parties to it by adopting provisions which amend the WTO disciplines. Since the negotiations for an East Asia FTA have already been launched, this dissertation is timely and will be helpful to the negotiations for trade remedies of an East Asia FTA.

description: Leonardo da Vinci's so-called Grotesque drawings have resisted interpretation. Drawn as marginalia, full sheet sketches, and small doodles, comically distorted representations of both men and women make up this small canon, some more exaggerated than others. This thesis examines the relationships between the drawings, Florentine literary satire, and medical discourses in an effort to establish a productive lens for contextualizing these images. A literature review examines the current scholarship on the drawings and what needs to be further addressed. The similarities between the anti-academic, satirical poetry and literature of the Florentine Renaissance and the tropes seen in the Grotesque drawings comprise chapter two. An overview of relevant medical discourses, in particular those treating depictions of old age and the elderly is presented in chapter three.

description: Amoeboid cell motility is essential for a wide range of biological processes including wound healing, embryonic morphogenesis, and cancer metastasis. It relies on complex dynamical patterns of cell shape changes that pose long-standing challenges to mathematical modeling and raise a need for automated and reproducible approaches to extract quantitative morphological features from image sequences. Here, we introduce a theoretical framework and a computational method for obtaining smooth representations of the spatiotemporal contour dynamics from stacks of segmented microscopy images. Based on a Gaussian process regression we propose a one-parameter family of regularized contour flows that allows us to continuously track reference points (virtual markers) between successive cell contours. We use this approach to define a coordinate system on the moving cell boundary and to represent different local geometric quantities in this frame of reference. In particular, we introduce the local marker dispersion as a measure to identify localized membrane expansions and provide a fully automated way to extract the properties of such expansions, including their area and growth time. The methods are available as an open-source software package called AmoePy, a Python-based toolbox for analyzing amoeboid cell motility (based on time-lapse microscopy data), including a graphical user interface and detailed documentation. Due to the mathematical rigor of our framework, we envision it to be of use for the development of novel cell motility models. We mainly use experimental data of the social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum to illustrate and validate our approach.

description: We have discovered T Tauri stars which show startling spectral variability between observations seperated by 20 years. In spectra published by Bouvier & Appenzeller (1992) these objects showed very weak H-alpha emission, broad CaII absorption and so called ``composite spectra'', where the spectral type inferred from the blue region is earlier than that inferred from the red. We present here new spectroscopy which shows that all four stars now exhibit strong H-alpha emission, narrow CaII emission and a spectral type which is consistent at all wavelengths. We propose a scheme to understand these changes whereby the composite spectra of these stars can be explained by a period of active accretion onto the central, young star. In this scheme the composite spectrum consists of a contribution from the stellar photosphere and a contribution from a hot, optically thick, accretion component. The optically thick nature of the accretion flow explains the weakness of the H-alpha emission during this phase. Within this scheme, the change to a single spectral type at all wavelengths and emergence of strong H-alpha emission are consistent with the accretion columns becoming optically thin, as the accretion rate drops. There is a strong analogy here with the dwarf novae class of interacting binaries, which show similar behaviour during the decline from outbursts of high mass-transfer rate. The most important consequence of this interpretation is that these objects bring into question the association of Weak-Line T Tauri stars (WTTs) with non-accreting or discless objects. In light of this result we consider the justification for this paradigm.

description: We propose to use multiple-imaged gravitational lenses to set limits on gravity theories without dark matter, specificly TeVeS (Bekenstein 2004), a theory which is consistent with fundamental relativistic principles and the phenomenology of MOdified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) theory. After setting the framework for lensing and cosmology, we derive analytically the deflection angle for the point lens and the Hernquist galaxy profile, and fit galaxy-quasar lenses in the CASTLES sample. We do this with three methods, fitting the observed Einstein ring sizes, the image positions, or the flux ratios. In all cases we consistently find that stars in galaxies in MOND/TeVeS provide adequate lensing. Bekenstein's toy $μ$ function provides more efficient lensing than the standard MOND $μ$ function. But for a handful of lenses [indicated in Table 2,3, fig 16] a good fit would require a lens mass orders of magnitude larger/smaller than the stellar mass derived from luminosity unless the modification function $μ$ and modification scale $a_0$ for the universal gravity were allowed to be very different from what spiral galaxy rotation curves normally imply. We discuss the limitation of present data and summarize constraints on the MOND $μ$ function. We also show that the simplest TeVeS "minimal-matter" cosmology, a baryonic universe with a cosmological constant, can fit the distance-redshift relation from the supernova data, but underpredicts the sound horizon size at the last scattering. We conclude that lensing is a promising approach to differentiate laws of gravity (see also astro-ph/0512425).

description: Polarized atomic beam sources have been in operation since many years to produce either nuclear polarized atomic hydrogen or deuterium beams. In recent experiments such a source was used to polarize both isotopes independently at the same time. By recombination of the atoms, HD molecules with all possible nuclear spin combinations can be created. Those spin isomers are useful for further applications like precision spectroscopy, as polarized targets for laser-particle acceleration, polarized fuel for fusion reactors or as an option for future measurements of electric dipole moments.

description: We have performed the detailed analysis of 174 high-resolution spectra of FGK dwarfs obtained with the ELODIE echelle spectrograph at the Observatoire de Haute-Provence. Abundances of Fe, Si and Ni have been determined from equivalent widths under LTE approximation, whereas abundances of Mg have been determined under NLTE approximation using equivalent widths of 4 lines and profiles of 5 lines. Spatial velocities with an accuracy better than 1 km/s, as well as orbits, have been computed for all stars. They have been used to define 2 subsamples kinematically representative of the thin disk and the thick disk in order to highlight their respective properties. A transition occurs at [Fe/H]=-0.3. Stars more metal-rich than this value have a flat distribution with Zmax<1 kpc and sigma_W<20 km/s, and a narrow distribution of [alpha/Fe]. There exist stars in this metallicity regime which cannot belong to the thin disk because of their excentric orbits, neither to the thick disk because of their low scale height. Several thin disk stars are identified down to [Fe/H]=-0.80. Their Mg enrichment is lower than thick disk stars with the same metallicity. We confirm from a larger sample the results of Feltzing et al (2003) and Bensby et al (2003) showing a decrease of [alpha/Fe] with [Fe/H] in the thick disk interpreted as the signature of the SNIa which have progressively enriched the ISM with iron. However our data suggest that the star formation in the thick disk stopped when the enrichment was [Fe/H]=-0.30, [Mg/Fe]=+0.20, [Si/Fe]=+0.17. A vertical gradient in [alpha/Fe] may exist in the thick disk but should be confirmed with a larger sample. Finally we have identified 2 new candidates of the HR1614 moving group.

The first chapter discusses Wright's biography and early career in the American Midwest, establishing the sources of his enthusiasm for automobiles and their influence on his lifelong career. The second chapter discusses Wright's conceptual building projects on paper and through models for like-minded patrons, as well as Wright's own automobile-influenced project Broadacre City. The third and final chapter discusses the influence of Wright's mature automobile aesthetic on his realized designed structures, concluding with his last work, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York City. Using a comparative research methodology, this thesis chronologically traces the evolution of particular motifs such as the spiral in Wright's conceptual designs and built structures, ultimately substantiating the automobile's significant influence on his architectural career and, in turn, on America's visual landscape.

description: We compare the WMAP temperature power spectrum and SNIa data to models with a generalized Chaplygin gas as dark energy. The generalized Chaplygin gas is a component with an exotic equation of state, p_X=-A/ρ^α_X (a polytropic gas with negative constant and exponent). Our main result is that, restricting to a flat universe and to adiabatic pressure perturbations for the generalized Chaplygin gas, the constraints at 95% CL to the present equation of state w_X = p_X / ρ_X and to the parameter αare -1\leq w_X < -0.8, 0 \leq α<0.2, respectively. Moreover, we show that a Chaplygin gas (α=1) as a candidate for dark energy is ruled out by our analysis at more than the 99.99% CL. A generalized Chaplygin gas as a unified dark matter candidate (Ω_{CDM}=0) appears much less likely than as a dark energy model, although its χ^2 is only two sigma away from the expected value.

Theory of paramagnetic scattering in highly frustrated magnets with long-range dipole-dipole interactions: The case of the Tb2Ti2O7, pyrochlore antiferromagnet

description: Highly frustrated antiferromagnets composed of magnetic rare-earth moments are currently attracting much experimental and theoretical interest. Rare-earth ions generally have small exchange interactions and large magnetic moments. This makes it necessary to understand in detail the role of long-range magnetic dipole-dipole interactions in these systems, in particular in the context of spin-spin correlations that develop in the paramagnetic phase, but are often unable to condense into a conventional long-range magnetic ordered phase. This scenario is most dramatically emphasized in the frustrated pyrochlore antiferromagnet material Tb2Ti207 which does not order down to 50 mK despite an antiferromagnetic Curie-Weiss temperature Tcw ~ -20 K. In this paper we report results from mean-field theory calculations of the paramagnetic elastic neutron-scattering in highly frustrated magnetic systems with long-range dipole-dipole interactions, focusing on the Tb2Ti207 system. Modeling Tb2Ti207 as an antiferromagnetic <111> Ising pyrochlore, we find that the mean-field paramagnetic scattering is inconsistent with the experimentally observed results. Through simple symmetry arguments we demonstrate that the observed paramagnetic correlations in Tb2Ti207 are precluded from being generated by any spin Hamiltonian that considers only Ising spins, but are qualitatively consistent with Heisenberg-like moments. Explicit calculations of the paramagnetic scattering pattern for both <111> Ising and Heisenberg models, which include finite single-ion anisotropy, support these claims. We offer suggestions for reconciling the need to restore spin isotropy with the Ising like structure suggested by the single-ion properties of Tb3+.

Here, we consider a chain of persistent current qubits, that is appropriate for state transfer with high fidelity in systems containing flux qubits. We calculate the fidelity of state transfer for this system. In general, the Hamiltonian of this system is not of XXZ-type, and we analyze the magnitude and the effect of the terms that don't conserve the z-component of the total spin.

description: The problem of exactly differentiating a signal with bounded second derivative is considered. A class of differentiators is proposed, which converge to the derivative of such a signal within a fixed, i.e., a finite and uniformly bounded convergence time. A tuning procedure is derived that allows to assign an arbitrary, predefined upper bound for this convergence time. It is furthermore shown that this bound can be made arbitrarily tight by appropriate tuning. The usefulness of the procedure is demonstrated by applying it to the well-known uniform robust exact differentiator, which is included in the considered class of differentiators as a special case.

description: Previous studies showed that sub-MIC levels of beta-lactam antibiotics induce extracellular DNA release and biofilm formation in most MRSA strains, a process that may have relevance in hospitals and on farms. The objective of this study was to gain insight into the mechanism of antibiotic induced MRSA biofilm. We found that low-dose amoxicillin increased the ability of MRSA cells to auto-aggregate and attach to a surface under static and gyratory conditions. By screening a transposon insertion library for mutants deficient in biofilm induction, we identified a novel gene (designated aibA for antibiotic-induced biofilm) that was required for biofilm formation in sub-MIC levels of antibiotics. This gene encodes a small hypothetical protein conserved among Bacilli that may play a role in glucose transport and metabolism. We concluded that low-dose cell wall active antibiotics alter the physical properties of MRSA cells, and that screening for biofilm induction mutants provides a means to identify novel effectors that mediate both the cell wall stress response and biofilm formation in MRSA.

description: Transit Timing Variations, or TTVs, can be a very efficient way of constraining masses and eccentricities of multi-planet systems. Recent measurements of the TTVs of TRAPPIST-1 led to an estimate of the masses of the planets, enabling an estimate of their densities. A recent TTV analysis using data obtained in the past two years yields a 34% and 13% increase in mass for TRAPPIST-1b and c, respectively. In most studies to date, a Newtonian N-body model is used to fit the masses of the planets, while sometimes general relativity is accounted for. Using the Posidonius N-body code, we show that in the case of the TRAPPIST-1 system, non-Newtonian effects might be also relevant to correctly model the dynamics of the system and the resulting TTVs. In particular, using standard values of the tidal Love number $k_2$ (accounting for the tidal deformation) and the fluid Love number $k_{2f}$ (accounting for the rotational flattening) leads to differences in the TTVs of TRAPPIST-1b and c similar to the differences caused by general relativity. We also show that relaxing the values of tidal Love number $k_2$ and the fluid Love number $k_{2f}$ can lead to TTVs which differ by as much as a few 10~s on a $3-4$-year timescale, which is a potentially observable level. The high values of the Love numbers needed to reach observable levels for the TTVs could be achieved for planets with a liquid ocean, which, if detected, might then be interpreted as a sign that TRAPPIST-1b and TRAPPIST-1c could have a liquid magma ocean. For TRAPPIST-1 and similar systems, the models to fit the TTVs should potentially account for general relativity, for the tidal deformation of the planets, for the rotational deformation of the planets and, to a lesser extent, for the rotational deformation of the star, which would add up to 7x2+1 = 15 additional free parameters in the case of TRAPPIST-1.

description: We estimate and remove the contamination of weak gravitational lensing measurements by the intrinsic alignment of close pairs of galaxies. We do this by investigating both the aperture mass B mode statistic, and the shear correlations of close and distant pairs of galaxies. We re-analyse the COMBO-17 survey, and study published results from the RCS and the VIRMOS-DESCART survey, concluding that the intrinsic alignment effect is at the lower end of the range of theoretical predictions. We also revisit this theoretical issue, and show that misalignment of baryon and halo angular momenta may be an important effect which can reduce the intrinsic ellipticity correlations estimated from numerical simulations to the level that we and the SuperCOSMOS survey observe. We re-examine the cosmological parameter estimation from the COMBO-17 survey, now marginalising over the Hubble constant. Assuming no evolution in galaxy clustering, and marginalising over the intrinsic alignment signal, we find the mass clustering amplitude is reduced by 0.03 to sigma_8(Omega_m / 0.27)^0.6 = 0.71 +/- 0.11. We consider the forthcoming SNAP wide weak lensing survey, and the CFHTLS wide synoptic survey, and expect them to be contaminated on scales >1 arcmin by intrinsic alignments at the level of ~1% and ~2% respectively. Division of the SNAP survey for lensing tomography significantly increases the contamination in the lowest redshift bin to ~7% and possibly higher. Removal of the intrinsic alignment effect by the downweighting of nearby galaxy pairs will therefore be vital for SNAP, (abridged).

description: We present the discovery of a red supergiant star that exploded as supernova 2003gd in the nearby spiral galaxy M74. The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and the Gemini Telescope imaged this galaxy 6 to 9 months before the supernova explosion and subsequent HST images confirm the positional coincidence of the supernova with a single,resolved star which is an 8 +4/-2 solar mass red supergiant. This confirms both stellar evolution models and supernova theories which predict that type II-Plateau supernovae have cool red supergiants as their immediate progenitor stars.

CAPITALIZING ON CAPABILITIES: SUSTAINING ARTS ORGANIZATIONS IN UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES
Creators: name: Pineda, Rebekah Hope
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: The question driving this research is what makes arts programming in underserved communities in a Washington, DC sustainable. In turn, the research aims to strengthen the dialogue between similar nonprofits, programs, and governmental agencies to create ,,viable communities‟ in which every individual can thrive and succeed. This research specifically looks at how these communities are create through arts programming in public housing and traditionally underserved communities. It includes an extensive literature review on collaboration and partnership and volunteer engagement and retention; dozens of in-depth interviews; and a volunteer experiment. This exploration will lead to more complete understanding of partnerships, the role of community and volunteer engagement in creating longevity and sustainability for arts organizations serving low income communities.
A Theory of time-varying Constants

description: We present a flat (K=0) cosmological model, described by a perfect fluid with the ``constants'' $G,c$ and $Λ$ varying with cosmological time $t$. We introduce Planckś ``constant'' $\hbar$ in the field equations through the equation of state for the energy density of radiation. We then determine the behaviour of the ``constants'' by using the zero divergence of the second member of the modified Einsteinś field equations i.e. $div(\frac{G}{c^{4}}T_{i}^{j}+δ_{i}^{j}Λ)=0,$ together with the equation of state and the Einstein cosmological equations. Assuming realistic physical and mathematical conditions we obtain a consistent result with $\hbar c=constant$. In this way we obtain gauge invariance for the Schrödinger equation and the behaviour of the remaining ``constants''

One Framework to Learn Them All: Picciano's Multimodal Model for Online Education
Creators: name: dela Cruz, Mar-Jay
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: In his article titled "Theories and Frameworks for Online Education: Seeking an Integrated Model," Anthony G. Picciano considers three critical learning theories for establishing legitimate online education: behaviorism, cognitivism, and social constructivism. On the Multimodal Model for Online Education assumption, an integrated approach was proposed for unifying these theories and making possible "those diverse learners need" combinations. Aspects such as developing a Community of Inquiry to facilitate interaction, employing adaptive learning technologies for tailored experiences, introducing multiple media types to accommodate different learning styles, and providing opportunities for reflection and feedback to promote engagement have been stressed in this model. This synthesized theoretical framework offers Picciano's flexible model for helping educators design effective online learning experiences that respond well to the individual needs of the students.

description: Renormalization group ideas and effective operators are used to efficiently determine localized unitaries for preparing the ground states of non-interacting scalar field theories on digital quantum devices. With these methods, classically computed ground states in a small spatial volume can be used to determine operators for preparing the ground state in a beyond-classical quantum register, even for interacting scalar field theories. Due to the exponential decay of correlation functions and the double exponential suppression of digitization artifacts, the derived quantum circuits are expected to be relevant already for near-term quantum devices.

Einstein, Wigner, and Feynman: From E = mc^{2} to Feynman's decoherence via Wigner's little groups

description: The 20th-century physics starts with Einstein and ends with Feynman. Einstein introduced the Lorentz-covariant world with E = mc^{2}. Feynman observed that fast-moving hadrons consist of partons which act incoherently with external signals. If quarks and partons are the same entities observed in different Lorentz frames, the question then is why partons are incoherent while quarks are coherent. This is the most puzzling question Feynman left for us to solve. In this report, we discuss Wigner's role in settling this question. Einstein's E = mc^{2}, which takes the form E = \sqrt{m^{2} + p^{2}}, unifies the energy-momentum relations for massive and massless particles, but it does not take into account internal space-time structure of relativistic particles. It is pointed out Wigner's 1939 paper on the inhomogeneous Lorentz group defines particle spin and gauge degrees of freedom in the Lorentz-covariant world. Within the Wigner framework, it is shown possible to construct the internal space-time structure for hadrons in the quark model. It is then shown that the quark model and the parton model are two different manifestations of the same covariant entity. It is shown therefore that the lack of coherence in Feynman's parton picture is an effect of the Lorentz covariance.
