description: Confucianism can be thought of as a Chinese model of rational thought with implications for socio-economic and political stability, and for development. This project draws upon Chinese intellectual history to explore Confucianism in relation to power, social mobility, and social change. This work aims for an in-depth exploration of the evolution of another reality, or Weltanschauung , in the context of the Chinese ideological superstructure; its longitudinal role in development; and its implications for China's transition to modernity. The scope of this work places a Chinese conceptual framework within the field of Western macrosociology. This study explains how this comprehensive social construct influences a pattern of large scale change. As Cold War assumptions dissipate, China is opening up to the rest of the world. At this critical time of reform, Western scholars and policy analysts face the challenge of understanding Chinese social, political, and economic decisions. In particular, Western scholarship is interested in China's resistance to "wholesale" Westernization. The goal of this project is to broaden Western understanding of a Chinese worldview by identifying and explicating two theoretical models: a conceptual framework of the Confucian ideological superstructure; and a longitudinal model of change. Western scholarship suggests that links can be made between current social and political structures and tendencies in the West, and the classical literary heritage of Western civilization. Similarly, the same argument can be offered in the East, with respect to classical Chinese literature and China's present development model. The ensuing body of research draws upon advances by Western sinologists and philologists, and upon the application of hermeneutics and textual analysis. This project explores seminal ideas of Chinese intellectuals---both of the Axial Age and within what this dissertation calls the process of "syncretic conditioning." This study suggests that core ideas are critical in understanding current social, political, and economic issues. While China's intellectual schools are vast, this study focuses on the Confucian school for two reasons: (1) its leading role in China's political and social history, and (2) its prominent place in Weberian social science literature, and more specifically, Max Weber's position regarding the relationship between Confucianism and economic underdevelopment in China. The present project rejects the dominant research trend in Western social science that measures China's incorporation into a Western model. Instead, it offers a research paradigm that explores how China continues to incorporate new ideas into a regionally pervasive and enduring Chinese worldview.

description: Non-perturbative gauge-invariance under the strong and the weak interactions dictates that the proton contains a non-vanishing valence contribution from the Higgs particle. By introducing an additional parton distribution function (PDF), we investigate the experimental consequences of this prediction. The Herwig 7 event generator and a parametrized CMS detector simulation are used to obtain predictions for a scenario amounting to the LHC Run II data set. We use those to assess the impact of the Higgs PDF on the pp->ttbar process in the single lepton final state. Comparing to nominal simulation we derive expected limits as a function of the shape of the valence Higgs PDF. We also investigate the process pp->ttZ at the parton level to add further constraints.

description: Just like any trade activity in well—functioning markets, migration tends to generate gains to all parties involved: the migrants as well as the native population. But these gains tend to be typically rather low. However, when the labor market is mal—functioning, migration exacerbates imperfections in the market. Consequently, it may lead to losses to the veteran population which can be quite sizable. Another problem raised by migration is the toll it imposes on the welfare state. Being unable to perfectly exclude migrants from various entitlement programs and public services, the modern welfare state finds it more and more costly to run its various programs. These two economic considerations may help explain why there is strong resistance to migration. Consequently, to be able to benefit more from migration, one may want to improve the functioning of the markets (with a possible compensation to wage earners that compete with unskilled migrants) and to be more selective in the scope of and the eligibility for the state entitlement programs.

description: Phonon excitations of fractional quantum Hall states at filling factors nu = 1/3, 2/5, 4/7, 3/5, 4/3, and 5/3 are experimentally shown to be based on Landau level transitions of Composite Fermions. At filling factor nu = 2/3, however, a linear field dependence of the excitation energy in the high-field regime rather hints towards a spin transition excited by the phonons. We propose to explain this surprising observation by an only partially polarized 2/3-ground-state making the energetically lower lying spin transition also allowed for phonon excitations.

Sub-Planckian $ϕ^{2}$ Inflation in the Palatini Formulation of Gravity with an $R^2$ term

description: In the context of the Palatini formalism of gravity with an $R^{2}$ term, a $ϕ^{2}$ potential can be consistent with the observed bound on $r$ whilst retaining the successful prediction for $n_{s}$. Here we show that the Palatini $ϕ^{2} R^2$ inflation model can also solve the super-Planckian inflaton problem of $ϕ^{2}$ chaotic inflation, and that the model can be consistent with Planck scale-suppressed potential corrections. If $α\gtrsim 10^{12}$, where $α$ is the coefficient of the $R^2$ term, the inflaton in the Einstein frame, $σ$, remains sub-Planckian throughout inflation. In addition, if $α\gtrsim 10^{20}$ then the predictions of the model are unaffected by Planck-suppressed potential corrections in the case where there is a broken shift symmetry, and if $α\gtrsim 10^{32}$ then the predictions are unaffected by Planck-suppressed potential corrections in general. The value of $r$ is generally small, with $r \lesssim 10^{-5}$ for $α\gtrsim 10^{12}$. We calculate the maximum possible reheating temperature, $T_{R\;max}$, corresponding to instantaneous reheating. For $α\approx 10^{32}$, $T_{R\; max}$ is approximately $10^{10}$ GeV, with larger values of $T_{R\;max}$ for smaller $α$. For the case of instantaneous reheating, we show that $n_{s}$ is in agreement with the 2018 Planck results to within 1-$σ$, with the exception of the $α\approx 10^{32}$ case, which is close to the 2-$σ$ lower bound. Following inflation, the inflaton condensate is likely to rapidly fragment and form oscillons. Reheating via inflaton decays to right-handed neutrinos can easily result in instantaneous reheating. We determine the scale of unitarity violation and show that, in general, unitarity is conserved during inflation.

description: Jagdish Bhagwati coined the phrase quid pro quo foreign investment to describe international investments made in anticipation of host country trade policy and perhaps with the intention of defusing a protectionist threat. We apply Bhagwati's notion to situations where (i) foreign investment is best described as the (uncoordinated) opening of branch plants by multinational corporations, and (ii) protection is a political response by an incumbent government to offers of policy-contingent campaign-contributions by domestic firms. We examine the determinants of anticipatory foreign investment and study some of its welfare implications. We also allow for lobbying by workers with sector-specific skills and show how the conflicting interests of these workers and the industrialists are resolved in determining policy toward foreign investment.

description: Microorganisms swimming through viscous fluids imprint their propulsion mechanisms in the flow fields they generate. Extreme confinement of these swimmers between rigid boundaries often arises in natural and technological contexts, yet measurements of their mechanics in this regime are absent. Here, we show that strongly confining the microalga Chlamydomonas between two parallel plates not only inhibits its motility through contact friction with the walls but also leads, for purely mechanical reasons, to inversion of the surrounding vortex flows. Insights from the experiment lead to a simplified theoretical description of flow fields based on a quasi-2D Brinkman approximation to the Stokes equation rather than the usual method of images. We argue that this vortex flow inversion provides the advantage of enhanced fluid mixing despite higher friction. Overall, our results offer a comprehensive framework for analyzing the collective flows of strongly confined swimmers.

The Dynamics and Interrelations of Series of Wage and Employment Evidence from Micro Data

Year: 1994

description: The paper analyzes the behavior and interrelations of series of wage and employment at two levels of aggregation. The lower level is composed of individual firms. The higher level is composed of aggregates of these firms into homogeneous groups. The relation of the wage series to each other is characterized at the two levels of aggregation. The relation of employment and wage is characterized at the lower (firm) level. At each aggregation level the analysis is performed on monthly, quarterly and annual data frequencies. The data supports the existence of wage leadership within homogeneous groups of firms. The wage series display a time uniform hierarchy at the higher level of aggregation which disappears at the firm level. Yet the wage ranking is quite persistent even at the firm level. The majority of the firms in the sample display a negative relation between their series of relative wage and relative employment. The rates of change of these series display a similar negative relation which is, however, much weaker.
Non-global jet evolution at finite N_c

description: Resummations of soft gluon emissions play an important role in many applications of QCD, among them jet observables and small x saturation effects. Banfi, Marchesini, and Smye have derived an evolution equation for non-global jet observables that exhibits a remarkable analogy with the BK equation used in the small x context. Here, this analogy is used to generalize the former beyond the leading N_c approximation. The result shows striking analogy with the JIMWLK equation describing the small x evolution of the color glass condensate. A Langevin description allows numerical implementation and provides clues for the formulation of closed forms for amplitudes at finite N_c. The proof of the new equation is based on these amplitudes with ordered soft emission. It is fully independent of the derivation of the JIMWLK equation and thus sheds new light also on this topic.

The economic impact of the interaction of ethnicity and inclusive and exclusive nationalism in the post-colonial state
Creators: name: Richards, David Hale
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Political theorists often view ethnic diversity as problematic for the modern state (Horowitz 1984, Connor 1994). Recent studies show an inverse relationship between ethnic diversity and economic growth in a state: the more diverse a state is ethnically, the slower the growth rate (Alsina et al. 2001). Alsina et al. suggest that multiple ethnic groups make it harder for the state to implement good economic policy. The basic argument explored in this study is that there are different understandings not of ethnicity per se, but of nationalism and how it interacts with ethnic groups. It is these understandings that lead to problems on the state level. Furthermore, I hope to show that although ethnicity as a broad variable affects growth negatively, it acts in a variety of ways in different regions of the world. Not all nationalism is the same, and therefore not all interactions with ethnic groups are the same, and therefore, the effect on state policy and economic growth is not the same in all states. Two regions are examined, Sub-Saharan Africa and the Caribbean. Pooled cross-time economic and demographic data from 1970--2000 was used. Analysis of the data reveled that the variable of ethnic diversity does have a different impact in sub-Saharan Africa than it does in the Caribbean. Case studies done on Nigeria and Trinidad and Tobago further support the concept that ethnic identity as a concept if fundamentally different between the two regions. Nationalism in sub-Saharan Africa tends to be exclusive to a single ethnic group. Nationalism in the Caribbean is more inclusive and able to absorb a broader range of ethnic groups.

description: A handful of well-studied Weak-Line Radio Galaxies (WLRGs) have been traditionally classified as Low Ionization Nuclear Emission-line Regions (LINERs), suggesting that these two groups of AGNs might be related. In this paper, we present new optical emission-line measurements for twenty Weak-Line Radio Galaxies which we supplement with measurements for an additional four from the literature. Classifying these objects by their emission-line ratios, we find that 50% of the objects are robustly classified as LINERs while an additional 25% are likely to be LINERs. Photoionization calculations show that the Spectral Energy Distribution of the well-studied WLRG 3C 270 (NGC 4261) is able to produce the observed emission-line ratios, but only if the UV emission seen by the narrow emission-line gas is significantly higher than that observed, implying A_V = 2.5-4.2 magnitudes along our line of sight to the nucleus. From the photoionization calculations, we find that the emission-line gas must have an ionization parameter between 10^-3.5 and 10^-4.0 and a wide range in hydrogen density (10^2-10^6 cm^-3) to reproduce the measured emission-line ratios, similar to the properties inferred for the emission-line gas in LINERs. Thus, we find that properties of the emission-line gas as well as the underlying excitation mechanism are indeed similar in LINERs and WLRGs. By extension, the central engines of accretion-powered LINERs and WLRGs, which do host an accreting black hole, may be qualitatively similar.

description: The validity of the CFT in the Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid with the $1/r^β$ type long-range interactions is discussed. The arguments by CFT for long-range forward scatterings predict the finite size corrections which depend on the power of the long-range interactions. Especially from finite size corrections in the ground state, we find the effective central charge deviates from $c=1$. These conformal arguments are numerically tested in the one particle excitations and the ground state.

description: How is transnational social space affecting the way contemporary Muslim women perceive their identities and engage in activism? Despite a rapid expansion of research on Muslim women and the development of multiple research projects analyzing traditional, economic, neocolonial, and revivalist barriers to their advancement, little has been written about how dialogue among Muslim women from different contexts shapes their activist visions. While there are a number of studies about individual women's organizations and their efforts to achieve change in local contexts, there has been an absence of studies examining how these efforts are increasingly linked together via the transnational and how they influence the definition of Muslim public spheres and Muslim agency. To provide insight into the significance of transnationalism for identity formation and activism among Muslim women, this dissertation utilizes qualitative methods of active interviewing, participant observation, and action research to investigate the impact of transnational social interactions on Muslim women residing in diverse national and cultural contexts. Based on encounters with dozens of prominent activists and intellectuals from diverse Muslim societies, it advances four principal findings. First, dialogue is providing those Muslim women who practice it with a constructive means for opening lines of communication among competing normative paradigms which have in the past dichotomized and fragmented Muslim identity. Second, transnational social networks addressing "status of Muslim women" issues are becoming increasingly transnational in character, resulting in an increase in "connectivity" among practitioners as well as in greater ideational and practical dynamism. Third, identities are being transformed by the experiences of transnational dialogue, prompting a reimagination of national "public spheres" and the role of the self within them. Finally, Muslim women are perceiving that they can claim status of "selfhood"---that is, as reflective social agents---without becoming "other" to their religio-cultural communities or to "the West."

description: We review the literature on the links between technology and international trade. The older literature assumed exogenous technologies and focused on their effects on the structure of foreign trade and on welfare. Recently much of the effort has been on explaining technological change. As a result, we also describe the effects of foreign trade on technological change. We deal with technological change that results from learning by doing and from innovation, and we describe the relationship between each one of these forms of change in technology with international trade. Apart from integrating much of the recent literature on learning by doing, we show that there are important common themes and results in these two strands of the literature.

description: The geometry of the classical phase space C of a finite number of degrees of freedom determines the possible duality symmetries of the corresponding quantum mechanics. Under duality we understand the relativity of the notion of a quantum with respect to an observer on C. We illustrate this property explicitly in the case when classical phase space is complex n-dimensional projective space. We also provide some examples of classical dynamics that exhibit these properties at the quantum level.

description: Poor access to eye care is a major global challenge that could be ameliorated by low-cost, portable, and easy-to-use diagnostic technologies. Diffuser-based imaging has the potential to enable inexpensive, compact optical systems that can reconstruct a focused image of an object over a range of defocus errors. Here, we present a diffuser-based computational funduscope that reconstructs important clinical features of a model eye. Compared to existing diffuser-imager architectures, our system features an infinite-conjugate design by relaying the ocular lens onto the diffuser. This offers shift-invariance across a wide field-of-view (FOV) and an invariant magnification across an extended depth range. Experimentally, we demonstrate fundus image reconstruction over a 33$^{\circ}$ FOV and robustness to $\pm$4D refractive error using a constant point-spread-function. Combined with diffuser-based wavefront sensing, this technology could enable combined ocular aberrometry and funduscopic screening through a single diffuser sensor.
Encountering the transnational: Women, Islam, and the politics of interpretation

description: How is transnational social space affecting the way contemporary Muslim women perceive their identities and engage in activism? Despite a rapid expansion of research on Muslim women and the development of multiple research projects analyzing traditional, economic, neocolonial, and revivalist barriers to their advancement, little has been written about how dialogue among Muslim women from different contexts shapes their activist visions. While there are a number of studies about individual women's organizations and their efforts to achieve change in local contexts, there has been an absence of studies examining how these efforts are increasingly linked together via the transnational and how they influence the definition of Muslim public spheres and Muslim agency. To provide insight into the significance of transnationalism for identity formation and activism among Muslim women, this dissertation utilizes qualitative methods of active interviewing, participant observation, and action research to investigate the impact of transnational social interactions on Muslim women residing in diverse national and cultural contexts. Based on encounters with dozens of prominent activists and intellectuals from diverse Muslim societies, it advances four principal findings. First, dialogue is providing those Muslim women who practice it with a constructive means for opening lines of communication among competing normative paradigms which have in the past dichotomized and fragmented Muslim identity. Second, transnational social networks addressing "status of Muslim women" issues are becoming increasingly transnational in character, resulting in an increase in "connectivity" among practitioners as well as in greater ideational and practical dynamism. Third, identities are being transformed by the experiences of transnational dialogue, prompting a reimagination of national "public spheres" and the role of the self within them. Finally, Muslim women are perceiving that they can claim status of "selfhood"---that is, as reflective social agents---without becoming "other" to their religio-cultural communities or to "the West."

Phase-space approach to Berry's phases
Creators: name: Chruscinski, Dariusz
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: We propose a new formula for the adiabatic Berry phase which is based on phase-space formulation of quantum mechanics. This approach sheds a new light into the correspondence between classical and quantum adiabatic phases -- both phases are related with the averaging procedure: Hannay's angle with averaging over the classical torus and Berry's phase with averaging over the entire classical phase space with respect to the corresponding Wigner function. Generalizations to the non-abelian Wilczek--Zee case and mixed states are also included.

Boundaries and sovereignty reconsidered: Lessons from France's road to statehood
Creators: name: Cooper, Louis F.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Using medieval and early modern France as an example, this dissertation reconsiders the transition from medieval to modern territoriality. Against the prevailing view in the international relations literature, it argues that the emergence of modern state boundaries was not marked by dramatic turning points or "punctuations" but rather by incremental change. Feudal and modern forms of territoriality coexisted, complicating the task of boundary definition; commissions of inquiry were unable to solve boundary disputes definitively; and treaties through the seventeenth century, if they dealt with boundaries at all, usually did not specify them with precision. However, developments connected with monarchical state-building, such as gradual improvements in mapping techniques and the rationalizing of frontier fortification, slowly pushed in the direction of continuous, juridical boundaries. This historical pattern of gradual development, coupled with contemporary evidence, suggests that the territorial boundaries of modern states will continue to evolve slowly and that their practical, legal, and symbolic dimensions will remain important. Thus, forecasts of a sweeping "deterritorialization" of the international system are, at best, premature. While the current period is witnessing experimentation with "postmodern" territorial forms, these will likely coexist with rather than displace the dominant state-based form of territoriality.

description: Spin off events and impacts can eject boulders from an asteroid surface and rubble pile asteroids can accumulate from debris following a collision between large asteroids. These processes produce a population of gravitational bound objects in orbit that can impact an asteroid surface at low velocity and with a distribution of impact angles. We present laboratory experiments of low velocity spherical projectiles into a fine granular medium, sand. We delineate velocity and impact angles giving ricochets, those giving projectiles that roll-out from the impact crater and those that stop within their impact crater. With high speed camera images and fluorescent markers on the projectiles we track spin and projectile trajectories during impact. We find that the projectile only reaches a rolling without slipping condition well after the marble has reached peak penetration depth. The required friction coefficient during the penetration phase of impact is 4-5 times lower than that of the sand suggesting that the sand is fluidized near the projectile surface during penetration. We find that the critical grazing impact critical angle dividing ricochets from roll-outs, increases with increasing impact velocity. The critical angles for ricochet and for roll-out as a function of velocity can be matched by an empirical model during the rebound phase that balances a lift force against gravity. We estimate constraints on projectile radius, velocity and impact angle that would allow projectiles on asteroids to ricochet or roll away from impact, finally coming to rest distant from their initial impact sites.

Excitons dressed by a sea of excitons

description: We here consider an exciton $i$ embedded in a sea of $N$ identical excitons 0. If the excitons are bosonized, a bosonic enhancement factor, proportional to $N$, is found for $i=0$. If the exciton composite nature is kept, this enhancement not only exists for $i=0$, but also for any exciton having a center of mass momentum equal to the sea exciton momentum. This physically comes from the fact that an exciton with such a momentum can be transformed into a sea exciton by ``Pauli scattering'', \emph{i}. \emph{e}., carrier exchange with the sea, making this $i$ exciton not so much different from a 0 exciton. This possible scattering, directly linked to the composite nature of the excitons, is irretrievably lost when the excitons are bosonized. This work in fact deals with the quite tricky scalar products of $N$-exciton states. It actually constitutes a crucial piece of our new many-body theory for interacting composite bosons, because all physical effects involving these composite bosons ultimately end by calculating such scalar products. The ``Pauli diagrams'' we here introduce to represent them, allow to visualize many-body effects linked to carrier exchange in an easy way. They are conceptually different from Feynman diagrams, because of the special feature of the ``Pauli scatterings'': These scatterings, which originate from the departure from boson statistics, do not have their equivalent in Feynman diagrams, the commutation rules for exact bosons (or fermions) being included in the first line of the usual many-body theories.

description: Like any trade activity, migration tends to generate gains to all parties involved, the migrants as well as the native—born population. However, with a mal—functionin& labor market, migration will exacerbate the imperfections in the market. Consequently, it may lead to losses to the native—born population which typically are quite sizable. Another economic problem raised by migration is the additional toll imposed on the welfare—state income—distribution institutions. Being unable to exclude migrants from the various entitlement programs and public services, the modern welfare state can find migration rather costly. These two economic considerations may help explain the resistance to migration despite the pure gains—from—trade benefits created by it. Immigration could be more beneficial to the native—born population when the labor markets are better—functioning and the welfare programs are less comprehensive.
Polymer Dynamics in Repton Model at Large Fields

description: Polymer dynamics at large fields in Rubinstein-Duke repton model is investigated theoretically. Simple diagrammatic approach and analogy with asymmetric simple exclusion models are used to analyze the reptation dynamics of polymers. It is found that for polyelectrolytes the drift velocity decreases exponentially as a function of the external field with an exponent depending on polymer size and parity, while for polyampholytes the drift velocity is independent of polymer chain size. However, for polymers, consisting of charged and neutral blocks, the drift velocity approaches the constant limit which is determined by the size of the neutral block. The theoretical arguments are supported by extensive numerical calculations by means of density-matrix renormalization group techniques.
