Rebuilding the Network: Interpretation of World War II Prisoner-of-War Camps in the United States
Creators: Salgado, Rebecca C.
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2012
Subjects: History

description: World War II was one of the most defining events of the twentieth century, but few American citizens are aware that a crucial element of our part in the war—the care and containment of foreign prisoners of war—took place on the home front, in hundreds of camps located in almost every state. The U.S. military processed, transported, housed, fed, and provided labor more than 400,000 POWs from Germany, Italy, and Japan between 1942 and 1947, requiring the creation of a massive network unlike any ever seen in the United States before or since. The United States followed the 1929 Geneva Convention in its handling of these prisoners, which stipulated that the POWs had to be treated humanely and with respect. After the war ended and the prisoners went back home, the government dismantled many of the remaining camps and sold their buildings for parts. Some structures from the camps remained in use for decades—repurposed as offices, returning veterans' housing, and even Girl Scout camps—their original context eventually forgotten. With each passing year, the number of people who had a direct experience with the prisoner-of-war camp network becomes smaller and smaller, and since younger generations for the most part have no knowledge of it, the network's story could easily fade from national memory. Sixty years have passed since the POWs of World War II occupied the camps scattered around the country, but traces of these sites remain. Hundreds of sites have some sort of acknowledgment of the camps-from the more-common historical markers to foundation remnants to the occasional prisoner-of-war camp museum-but their story is still unknown to most people. In addition, much of the existing interpretation of the prisoner-of-war camp network is removed from the actual sites of the camps, even when physical remnants exist nearby. This thesis analyzes the existing POW camp sites and proposes an interpretive plan for them based on the creation of a national network of camps and the incorporation of the remaining site elements into interpretation whenever possible. The remaining POW camp sites would have a better chance of being preserved if more people learned about their fascinating history, and this thesis argues that the best chance of making this possible is to strengthen the individual sites by connecting them to each other and by making sure each site shares the story of the whole camp network. This thesis also argues that the remaining physical sites of the network should be preserved in addition to the story of their network, as they are the strongest links to this network and can serve as potent reminders of the thousands of structures that used to exist all over the country. The World War II prisoner-of-war camps and the people who occupied them were part of a complex, surprising network whose history deserves to be shared with future generations through the sites and stories that remain today throughout the United States.

description: We work out in the forward limit and up to order $e^6$ in perturbation theory the collinear divergences. In this kinematical regime we discover new collinear divergences that we argue can be only cancelled using quantum interference with processes contributing to the gauge anomaly. This rules out the possibility of a quantum consistent and anomaly free theory with massless charges and long range interactions. We use the anomalous threshold singularities to derive a gravitational lower bound on the mass of the lightest charged fermion.

We apply this approach to a particular spherically symmetric, Wyman sector gravitational field, consisting of a pulse in the antisymmetric field variable. We demonstrate that marginally trapped surfaces do exist for this choice of initial data.

Reception, Interpretation and Doctrine in the Sixth Century: John Maxentius and the Scythian Monks

description: "Reception, Interpretation and Doctrine in the Sixth Century: John Maxentius and the Scythian Monks" analyzes the complex patterns of the reception and the interpretation of the Church Fathers within the writings of John Maxentius and the Scythian monks. By the middle of the fifth and into the sixth century, the Church Fathers emerged as a dual authority alongside the Scriptures (i.e., the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament) serving as the repositories for theological reflection. In late antique Christianity, theologians routinely professed their devout faithfulness to the Church Fathers. Aligning with these persistent claims of fidelity, many standard historiographical narratives conclude that the sixth century was an unfortunate period of theological stagnation, marked by monolithic and linear commitment to the Church Fathers.  Relying upon a close and contextual reading of the Latin writings of John Maxentius and the Scythian monks, "Reception, Interpretation and Doctrine" intervenes by arguing that these monks reinscribed Cyril's doctrine of divine suffering in the flesh and Augustine's doctrine of divine grace and predestination into the canonical discourse of the church catholic (i.e., universal church), thereby legitimatizing these troublesome doctrines through layered hermeneutical practices. The majority of ecclesiastical authorities (e.g., bishops and abbots) honored the legacies of Cyril and Augustine but rejected these two difficult teachings, whereas the Scythian monks reintegrated Cyril's doctrine of divine suffering in the flesh and Augustine's doctrine of divine grace and predestination into the canonical antecedents of the fourth and fifth centuries. Instead of perpetuating the assertion of monolithic traditionalism as the hallmark of late antique Christianity, this present study demonstrates that the Church Fathers were frequently reinterpreted, reframed and remembered throughout the canonizing movements of the sixth century.
Recalling the Traces of Ancient Fires: Memory and Composed Reinterpretation in Vestigia Flammae for sinfonietta and Agnosco Veteris for orchestra

description: The musical portion of this dissertation is comprised of my two compositions: Agnosco Veteris, a fifteen-and-a-half-minute work for orchestra, written in 2015 for Robert Spano and the Aspen Philharmonic Orchestra; and its partner and template Vestigia Flammae, a fourteen-minute work for sinfonietta (fifteen musicians) written in 2014 for the Nouvel Ensemble Modern.  The written portion of this dissertation is an accompanying essay that provides a conceptual and musical analysis of the partnered pieces.  The essay situates the compositions within the context of my recent musical output by specifically focusing on a method I have heartily employed from 2011-16: the reuse of musical/sonic material through repetition, computer-aided manipulation, reorchestration, composed reinterpretation, and self-appropriation.  Agnosco Veteris and Vestigia Flammae are partner works that engage with personal musical memories.  I explain the desires behind, and the process of, transforming one piece into another.  A section of the essay places this concept in the historical context of other composers who employ appropriation of material and methods of reorchestration to generate new works.  I discuss my compositional process and style as an alloy of my musical genetic makeup – a mixing ground of my experience as a performer of the classical canon in dialogue with my affinity towards minimalism, modernism, romanticism, spectralism, Slavic folk and liturgical musics, electronic music, and popular music production techniques.  The latter portion of the essay provides a theoretical analysis of the two pieces in terms of poetic genesis, form, motivic material, harmonic structure, orchestration, texture, and rhythmic development.

description: Rain-water and/or snow-melt water infiltrate into or through waste rock dumps at mine sites and dissolve minerals (salts) from rock surfaces. Collecting and treating the drainage is required to meet mine-water-discharge regulations. Generally speaking, less solute loadings in the collected drainage would mean lower cost (e.g., less lime consumption). Thus it is important to identify the rate-control mechanisms of mineral dissolution under different storage configurations of waste rock dumps. In this paper, the authors present an analysis of rate-control mechanisms. The main point is the rate of water-infiltration Q relative to the rate of solute production (kβλ), i.e., (kβλ)/Q. Here k represents the effective kinetic constant of a mineral species’ dissolution from a rock surface, β represents rock dump depth, and λ represents the sum of rock surface areas that are flushed by infiltrated water within a unit volume of rocks. One significance of the quotient (kβλ)/Q is its quantitative indication of the rate-control mechanisms. When (kβλ)/Q becomes smaller, say (kβλ)/Q <0.5, the rate of solute production becomes in control because the solute loading is nearly independent of water-infiltration rate Q; when (kβλ)/Q becomes larger, say (kβλ)/Q > 2.5, infiltration rate Q is in control, that is, the solute concentration would become close to the saturation concentration of the mineral species and the solute loading would become proportional to infiltration rate Q; when 0.5 < (kβλ)/Q < 2.5, both water-infiltration rate Q and the rate of solute production (kβλ) are in control, a mixed control mechanism.

description: Within the framework of BCS theory and Skyrme-Hartree-Fock model, we employ various microscopic pairing gaps and effective pairing interactions to study pairing effects on the equation of state (EOS) of neutron matter and the symmetry energy at subsaturation densities. We find pairing effects may have considerable contributions to the EOS of neutron matter at very low densities ($\lesssim 0.02~\rm{fm}^{-3}$), while only have a small impact on the symmetry energy at subsatruation densities. In addition, the reliability of the parabolic approximation for the isospin asymmetry dependence of nuclear matter EOS with pairing correlations included is also discussed.

description: We investigate the set of spacetime general coordinate transformations (G.C.T.) which leave the line element of a generic Bianchi Type Geometry, quasi-form invariant; i.e. preserve manifest spatial Homogeneity. We find that these G.C.T.'s, induce special time-dependent automorphic changes, on the spatial scale factor matrix $γ_{αβ}(t)$ -along with corresponding changes on the lapse function $N(t)$ and the shift vector $N^α(t)$. These changes, which are Bianchi Type dependent, form a group and are, in general, different from those induced by the group SAut(G) -advocated in earlier investigations as the relevant symmetry group-, they are used to simplify the form of the line element -and thus simplify Einstein's equations as well-, without losing generality. As far as this simplification procedure is concerned, the transformations found, are proved to be essentialy unique. For the case of Bianchi Types II and V, where the most general solutions are known -Taub's and Joseph's, respectively-, it is explicitly verified that our transformations and only those, suffice to reduce the generic line element, to the previously known forms. It becomes thus possible, -for these Types- to give in closed form, the most general solution, containing all the necessary ``gauge'' freedom.

description: Energy-efficient simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) is crucial for mobile robots exploring unknown environments. The mammalian brain solves SLAM via a network of specialized neurons, exhibiting asynchronous computations and event-based communications, with very low energy consumption. We propose a brain-inspired spiking neural network (SNN) architecture that solves the unidimensional SLAM by introducing spike-based reference frame transformation, visual likelihood computation, and Bayesian inference. We integrated our neuromorphic algorithm to Intel's Loihi neuromorphic processor, a non-Von Neumann hardware that mimics the brain's computing paradigms. We performed comparative analyses for accuracy and energy-efficiency between our neuromorphic approach and the GMapping algorithm, which is widely used in small environments. Our Loihi-based SNN architecture consumes 100 times less energy than GMapping run on a CPU while having comparable accuracy in head direction localization and map-generation. These results pave the way for scaling our approach towards active-SLAM alternative solutions for Loihi-controlled autonomous robots.

On the Strength of Attractors in a High-dimensional System: Milnor Attractor Network, Robust Global Attraction, and Noise-induced Selection

description: Strength of attractor is studied by the return rate to itself after perturbations, for a multi-attractor state of a globally coupled map. It is found that fragile (Milnor) attractors have a large basin volume at the partially ordered phase. Such dominance of fragile attractors is understood by robustness of global attraction in the phase space. Change of the attractor strength and basin volume against the parameter and size are studied. In the partially ordered phase, the dynamics is often described as Milnor attractor network, which leads to a new interpretation of chaotic itinerancy. Noise-induced selection of fragile attractors is found that has a sharp dependence on the noise amplitude. Relevance of the observed results to neural dynamics and cell differentiation is also discussed.

description: The microwave complex surface impedance Z_s of Y(Ni_{1-x}Pt_x)_2B_2C was measured at 0.5 K under magnetic fields H up to 7T. In nominally pure YNi_2B_2C, which is a strongly anisotropic s-wave superconductor, the flux flow resistivity ρ_f calculated from Z_s was twice as large as that expected from the conventional normal-state vortex core model. In Pt-doped samples where the gap anisotropy is smeared out, the enhancement of ρ_f is reduced and ρ_f approaches to the conventional behavior. These results indicate that energy dissipation in the vortex core is strongly affected by the anisotropy of the superconducting gap.

description: In recent years, various benchmark suites have been developed to evaluate the efficacy of Android security analysis tools. The choice of such benchmark suites used in tool evaluations is often based on the availability and popularity of suites and not on their characteristics and relevance. One of the reasons for such choices is the lack of information about the characteristics and relevance of benchmarks suites. In this context, we empirically evaluated four Android specific benchmark suites: DroidBench, Ghera, IccBench, and UBCBench. For each benchmark suite, we identified the APIs used by the suite that were discussed on Stack Overflow in the context of Android app development and measured the usage of these APIs in a sample of 227K real world apps (coverage). We also compared each pair of benchmark suites to identify the differences between them in terms of API usage. Finally, we identified security-related APIs used in real-world apps but not in any of the above benchmark suites to assess the opportunities to extend benchmark suites (gaps). The findings in this paper can help 1) Android security analysis tool developers choose benchmark suites that are best suited to evaluate their tools (informed by coverage and pairwise comparison) and 2) Android app vulnerability benchmark creators develop and extend benchmark suites (informed by gaps).

Remarks
Wilcox (1973) listed 19 New World species for this genus, distributed from Mexico to Panama. However, similar to the situation with Luperodes and Metrioidea, future taxonomic study may eventually show that true Monolepta does not occur in the New World. The genus was originally named from Africa. Wagner (2007) re-described the type species of Monolepta and made some notes on the Afrotropical fauna. The New World species currently included in the genus are hardly distinguishable from those currently in Lilophaea, Luperodes, and Metrioidea. The genus Monolepta is sometimes reported to differ from the others by having closed anterior coxal cavities, and this character is employed in the key below. Even so, the character is not very useful for the New World fauna. Many of the current generic placements are not correlated with this character. Moreover, some species appear to have open cavities in some individuals and closed cavities in others. This variability may be true in some instances. However, in other instances the apparent difference may be a result of the flimsy nature of the very thin strip of sclerotized cuticle behind the coxae. Possibly, the strip is sometimes present, but withdrawn into the thorax, such that the coxal cavities appear to be open. See Fig. 142 for a habitus illustration of one of the New World species currently included in Monolepta.

description: The gauge symmetries of pure Chern-Simons theories with p-form gauge fields are analyzed. It is shown that the number of independent gauge symmetries depends crucially on the parity of p. The case where p is odd appears to be a direct generalization of the p=1 case and presents the remarkable feature that the timelike diffeomorphisms can be expressed in terms of the spatial diffeomorphisms and the internal gauge symmetries. By constrast, the timelike diffeomorphisms may be an independent gauge symmetry when p is even. This happens when the number of fields and the spacetime dimension fulfills an algebraic condition which is explicitely written.

description: A detailed account of the local atomic structure and disorder at 5~K across the phase diagram of the high temperature superconductor K$_x$Fe$_{2-y}$Se$_{2-z}$S$_z$ $(0 \leq z \leq 2)$ is obtained from neutron total scattering and associated atomic pair distribution function (PDF) approaches. Various model independent and model dependent aspects of the analysis reveal a high level of structural complexity on the nanometer length-scale. Evidence is found for considerable disorder in the $c$-axis stacking of the FeSe$_{1-x}$S$_{x}$ slabs without observable signs of turbostratic character of the disorder. In contrast to the related FeCh (Ch = S, Se) type superconductors, substantial Fe-vacancies are present in K$_x$Fe$_{2-y}$Se$_{2-z}$S$_z$, deemed detrimental for superconductivity when ordered. Our study suggests that the distribution of vacancies significantly modifies the iron-chalcogen bond-length distribution, in agreement with observed evolution of the PDF signal. A crossover like transition is observed at a composition of $z\approx1$, from a predominantly vacancy-disordered state at the selenium end to a more vacancy-ordered (VO) phase closer to the sulfur end of the phase diagram. The S-content dependent measures of the local structure are found to exhibit distinct behavior on either side of this crossover, correlating well with the evolution of the superconducting state to that of a magnetic semiconductor towards the $z\approx2$ end. The behavior reinforces the idea of the intimate relationship of correlated Fe-vacancies order in the local structure and the emergent electronic properties.

We find the Raman spectra to have significant dependence on the donor exchange splitting and the relative spatial positions of the two donor sites. In particular, we establish a strong correlation between the temperature dependence of the Raman peak intensity and the interdonor exchange coupling. Micro-Raman scattering can therefore potentially become a powerful tool to measure interqubit coupling in the development of a Si quantum computer architecture.

description: We present the prospects of extracting information about the Epoch of Reionization by identifying the remaining neutral regions, referred to as islands, in tomographic observations of the redshifted 21-cm signal. Using simulated data sets we show that at late times the 21-cm power spectrum is fairly insensitive to the details of the reionization process but that the properties of the neutral islands can distinguish between different reionization scenarios. We compare the properties of these islands with those of ionized bubbles. At equivalent volume filling fractions, neutral islands tend to be fewer in number but larger compared to the ionized bubbles. In addition, the evolution of the size distribution of neutral islands is found to be slower than that of the ionized bubbles and also their percolation behaviour differs substantially. Even though the neutral islands are relatively rare, they will be easier to identify in observations with the low-frequency component of the Square Kilometre Array (SKA-Low) due to their larger size and the lower noise levels at lower redshifts. The size distribution of neutral islands at the late stages of reionization is found to depend on the source properties, such as the ionizing efficiency of the sources and their minimum mass. We find the longest line of sight through a neutral region to be more than 100 comoving Mpc until very late stages (90-95 per cent reionized), which may have relevance for the long absorption trough at $z=5.6-5.8$ in the spectrum of quasar ULAS J0148+0600.

description: In this paper we study a new type of solution of the spherically symmetric, Einstein-Yang/Mills (EYM) equations with SU(2) gauge group. These solutions are well-behaved in the far-field, and have a Reissner-Nordstrom type essential singularity at the origin. These solutions display some novel features which are not present in particle-like, or black-hole solutions. Any spherically symmetric solution to the EYM equations, defined in the far-field, is either a particle-like solution, a black-hole solution, or one of these RNL solutions.

description: Geosteering is a sequential decision process under uncertainty. The goal of geosteering is to maximize the expected value of the well, which should be defined by an objective value-function for each operation. In this paper we present a real-time decision support system (DSS) for geosteering that aims to approximate the uncertainty in the geological interpretation with an ensemble of geomodel realizations. As the drilling operation progresses, the ensemble Kalman filter is used to sequentially update the realizations using the measurements from real-time logging while drilling. At every decision point a discrete dynamic programming algorithm computes all potential well trajectories for the entire drilling operation and the corresponding value of the well for each realization. Then, the DSS considers all immediate alternatives (continue/steer/stop) and chooses the one that gives the best predicted value across the realizations. This approach works for a variety of objectives and constraints and suggests reproducible decisions under uncertainty. Moreover, it has real-time performance. The system is tested on synthetic cases in a layer-cake geological environment where the target layer should be selected dynamically based on the prior (pre-drill) model and the electromagnetic observations received while drilling. The numerical closed-loop simulation experiments demonstrate the ability of the DSS to perform successful geosteering and landing of a well for different geological configurations of drilling targets. Furthermore, the DSS allows to adjust and reweight the objectives, making the DSS useful before fully automated geosteering becomes reality.

description: Bei einer großen Anzahl von anorganischen Verbindungen ist die Bildungsenthalpie bisher noch nicht bestimmt worden, da sich mit ihnen keine Umsetzungen durchführen lassen, deren Wärmetönungen mit den bekannten kalorimetrischen Verfahren gemessen werden konnten. Das hier beschriebene Hochtemperatur-Differentialkalorimeter ermöglicht die Bestimmung der Reaktionswärmen von Umsetzungen, die bei erhöhter Temperatur zwischen einer festen Substanz und einem strömenden Gas stattfinden. Bisher wurden mit diesem Kalorimeter die Wärmetönungen bei der Verbrennung von einigen Sulfiden der 5. und 6. Nebengruppe im Sauerstoffstrom experimentell ermittelt und mit den erhaltenen Werten die Bildungsenthalpien der betreffenden Substanzen berechnet.
description: For many inorganic substances the heat of formation has not yet been determined, as there are no reactions available whose thermal effects could be measured with known calorimetric methods. With the high-temperature-differential-calorimeter described here heats of reactions can be determined which take place at higher temperatures between a solid and a flowing gas. With this apparatus values for the heat of combustion of some sulphides of groups VA and VIA have been measured. These values were then used to calculate the corresponding heats of formation.

description: Unter anomaler Dispersion wird das Anwachsen der Phasengeschwindigkeit hochfrequenter gebundener Frequenzkomponenten von Schwerewellen verstanden, wenn diese in Bereiche abnehmender Wassertiefe gelangen. Insbesondere im küstennahen Bereich, wo die Wassertiefe der Wellenhöhe entspricht, kann die Geschwindigkeit solcher Komponenten bis zu 25% größer als diejenige der Grundfrequenz werden. Demnach widerspricht dieser Effekt der Vorstellung von einer dispersionslosen Bewegung als Grenzfall für Flachwasser, wo die Bewegung theoretisch nur von der Wassertiefe abhängt. Nach den durchgeführten Untersuchungen wird der Effekt der Anomalen Dispersion (ADE) mit abnehmender Wassertiefe geringer und die Bewegung ist für sägezahnförmige Strukturen von Brandungswellen dispersionslos. Der Effekt ist hier insbesondere durch Naturuntersuchungen nachgewiesen, bei denen Sturmwellen mit einem schmalen Spektrum vorhanden waren. Im Labor wurde das Verhalten von anfänglich monochromatische Wellen mit Perioden von 2.0 bis 5.0 s und Höhen von 0.14 m über einer Böschung 1 : 33 untersucht. Auch diese Untersuchungen bestätigen den betreffenden Effekt (ADE). Insbesondere erfährt hier der ADE mit größerer Wellenperiode stärkere Ausprägung. Als Ergebnis beider Untersuchungen wird der ADE als nichtlinearer Effekt angesehen, der allerdings bei solchen Bedingungen verborgen bleibt, in denen gleichzeitig freie und gebundene Frequenzkomponenten im selben Spektrum vorhanden sind. Der ADE wird als verantwortlich für die Transformation der Wellen in sägezahnförmige Strukturen angesehen, die für die Brandungszone typisch sind.

description: The dissertation develops and tests a new theory to explain intergroup cooperation and outgroup discrimination. The theoretical part specifies under what conditions ethnic differences undermine public goods provision and exacerbate ethnic discrimination. It posits that people cooperate more with and discriminate less against the groups expected to reciprocate cooperative behavior. Conditional cooperators rationally update their group stereotypes based on their experience with the groups' individual members. This change in turn reduces prejudice and discrimination. I tested observable implications of the model on a representative sample of more than 400 slum-dwellers in Mumbai. The field research in India combined laboratory experiments, an original survey, and interviews. Once I manipulated expectations of reciprocity, ethnically heterogeneous groups produced as much public goods as the homogeneous ones. The experimental treatment also radically increased trust and reduced ethnic discrimination of the generally mistrusted Muslim minority. The survey analysis compared the real-life effect of reciprocity with prominent alternative explanations from the literature. Compared to other factors, positive reciprocity provides a powerful explanation of why people choose to discriminate against some, but not other ethnic groups. The cross-national chapter of the dissertation extends the analysis beyond India. Using surveys from 87 countries, it shows that generalized trust moderates the negative effect of ethnic diversity on people's willingness to contribute to public goods.
