description: We have compiled a large sample of O, Ne, S, Cl, and Ar abundances which have been determined for 85 galactic planetary nebulae in a consistent and homogeneous manner using spectra extending from 3600-9600 Angstroms. Sulfur abundances have been computed using the near IR lines of [S III] 9069,9532 along with [S III] temperatures. We find average values, expressed logarithmically with a standard deviation, of log(S/O)=-1.91(+/-.24), log(Cl/O)=-3.52(+/-.16), and log(Ar/O)=-2.29(+/-.18), numbers consistent with previous studies of both planetary nebulae and H II regions. We also find a strong correlation between [O III] and [S III] temperatures among planetary nebulae. In analyzing abundances of Ne, S, Cl, and Ar with respect to O, we find a tight correlation for Ne-O, and loose correlations for Cl-O and Ar-O. All three trends appear to be colinear with observed correlations for H II regions. S and O also show a correlation but there is a definite offset from the behavior exhibited by H II regions and stars. We suggest that this S anomaly is most easily explained by the existence of S^+3, whose abundance must be inferred indirectly when only optical spectra are available, in amounts in excess of what is predicted by model-derived ionization correction factors. Finally for the disk PNe, abundances of O, Ne, S, Cl, and Ar all show gradients when plotted against galactocentric distance. The slopes are statistically indistinguishable from one another, a result which is consistent with the notion that the cosmic abundances of these elements evolve in lockstep.

description: An experiment was conducted on an Oxisol at the Isabela Agricultural Experiment Substation of the University of Puerto Rico (UPR) to determine the effect of consecutive plantings on the yield of taniers (Xanthosoma spp.). Eleven tanier cultivars were planted for two consecutive years in the same plot. A drastic decrease in yield occurred in the second year. An increase in the number of plants showing root-rot symptoms during the second growing season could have had an effect on plant growth and yield. Cultivars Tannia-Xanthosoma #1 and Palma had a higher percentage of healthy roots over the two-year period and were associated with resistance to the dry root-rot disease. Although these cultivars demonstrated resistance to the disease, the corms produced were rudimentary.

description: The current recommendation for growing dasheen (Colocasia esculenta) in Dominica for export, failed to produce corms of the desired standard for European and some Caribbean markets - corms weighing 0.9-1.3 Kg of uniform size and pear-shaped. Since plant density and planting depth are known to influence corm characteristics, an initial evaluation was made of the effect of varying the planting depth (15, 20, 25 and 30 cm) while maintaining the recommended density of 0.6 m x 0.6 m. Planting depths of 25-30 cm produced the reguired market standards with respect to size and weight but the shape was not acceptable. The desirable shape was produced using a planting depth of 28 cm but then the size and weight did not come up to standard. Planting depths of 15 cm did not give any satisfactory results.
DRUGS, BORDERS, AND STATE SOVEREIGNTY: A CASE STUDY OF EKATERINBURG
Creators: name: Carothers, Maureen Catherine
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This thesis will examine the interdependent relationship of drugs, border security, and sovereignty following the 1991 collapse of communism in Russia and the 2001 US-led overthrow of the Taliban in Afghanistan. Regime changes, particularly in Russia, led to a sharp decline in state revenues and subsequent loss of capacity to adequately fund border control institutions. The decline of border control mechanisms resulted in porous borders and fewer barriers for narcotics traffickers. In turn, drug traffickers weakened border security institutions through the corruption and co-optation of border guards. The thesis will use a historical case study analysis of Ekaterinburg and draw on data from the UN Office on Drugs and Crime, World Bank, and Stockholm International Peace Research Institute. The study will conclude with a discussion of the concept of the sovereignty, and how trans-border phenomena, such as the drug trade, pose a challenge for territorial-based definitions of sovereignty.

description: Spiking-neural-networks (SNNs) are promising at edge devices since the event-driven operations of SNNs provides significantly lower power compared to analog-neural-networks (ANNs). Although it is difficult to efficiently train SNNs, many techniques to convert trained ANNs to SNNs have been developed. However, after the conversion, a trade-off relation between accuracy and latency exists in SNNs, causing considerable latency in large size datasets such as ImageNet. We present a technique, named as TCL, to alleviate the trade-off problem, enabling the accuracy of 73.87% (VGG-16) and 70.37% (ResNet-34) for ImageNet with the moderate latency of 250 cycles in SNNs.

Huronische Metasedimente und deren basaler Kontakt zum granitoiden Grundgebirge stehen in einer Entfernung bis zu 15km von dem lagigen Komplex und um diesen herum steil. Obwohl diese Steilstellung durch die Bildung eines impakt-induzierten Zentralberges erklärt werden kann, ist unklar, ob orogene Verformung vor dem Impakt an der Steilstellung beteiligt war. Um hierüber Aufschluss zu gewinnen, wurden die basalen Huronischen Einheiten, insbesondere die karbonatische Espanola Formation und deren benachbarte Metakonglomerate und Metasandsteine, nordöstlich des Impaktschmelzkomplexes strukturell untersucht. Aufgrund er Nähe der metasedimentären Einheiten zu dem 2,5km mächtigen Schmelzkomplex wurde daher auch dessen möglicher thermischer Einfluss auf die Metasedimente untersucht...

title: Reusable components for knowledge modelling
Creators: name: Motta, Enrico
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1998

description: In this work I illustrate an approach to the development of a library of problem solving components for knowledge modelling. This approach is based on an epistemological modelling framework, the Task/Method/Domain/Application (TMDA) model, and on a principled methodology, which provide an integrated view of both library construction and application development by reuse. The starting point of the proposed approach is given by a task ontology. This formalizes a conceptual viewpoint over a class of problems, thus providing a task-specific framework, which can be used to drive the construction of a task model through a process of model-based knowledge acquisition. The definitions in the task ontology provide the initial elements of a task-specific library of problem solving components. In order to move from problem specification to problem solving, a generic, i.e. taskindependent, model of problem solving as search is introduced, and instantiated in terms of the concepts in the relevant task ontology, say T. The result is a task-specific, but method-independent, problem solving model. This generic problem solving model provides the foundation from which alternative problem solving methods for a class of tasks can be defined. Specifically, the generic problem solving model provides i) a highly generic method ontology, say M; ii) a set of generic building blocks (generic tasks), which can be used to construct task-specific problem solving methods; and iii) an initial problem solving method, which can be characterized as the most generic problem solving method, which subscribes to M and is applicable to T. More specific problem solving methods can then be (re-)constructed from the generic problem solving model through a process of method/ontology specialization and method-to-task application. The resulting library of reusable components enjoys a clear theoretical basis and provides robust support for reuse. In the thesis I illustrate the approach in the area of parametric design.

description: This study explores the impact of information communication technologies on the public sphere and political participation in Russia. It argues that communication technologies have enabled a new communicative space, a networked public sphere that interacts with the public sphere of the traditional mass media, but encompasses a wider range of human interaction. Together the networked public sphere and the liberal mass media constitute what is termed a liberal-networked public sphere, a hybrid public space that allows people to act politically and contest the regime's ownership of the public discourse. The regime also recognizes the political value, and dangers, of the liberal-networked public sphere and adjusts its tactics in the attempt to control this space. The result is a new power game, in which the new hybrid communication space becomes the main locus where Russian civil society organizes and contests with the regime for its rights for information and political participation.

description: (Abridged) We study the gravitational radiation from gravitational collapses of rapidly rotating neutron stars induced by a phase-transition from normal nuclear matter to a mixed phase of quark and nuclear matter in the core of the stars. The study is based on self-consistent three dimensional hydrodynamic simulations with Newtonian gravity and a high resolution shock capturing scheme, and the quadrupole formula of gravitational radiation. The quark matter of the mixed phase is described by the MIT bag model and the normal nuclear matter is described by an ideal fluid equation of state (EOS). 1. We determined the magnitudes of the emitted gravitational waves for several collapse scenarios. 2. We determined the types and frequencies of the fluid oscillation modes excited by the process. In particular, we find that the gravitational wave signals produced by the collapses are dominated by the fundamental quadrupole and quasi-radial modes of the final equilibrium configurations. In some collapse scenarios, we find that the oscillations are damped out within a few dynamical timescales due to the growth of differential rotations and the formation of strong shock waves. 3. We showed that the spectrum of the gravitational wave signals is sensitive to the EOS, implying that the detection of such gravitational waves could provide useful constraints on the EOS of newly born quark stars. 4. For the range of rotation periods we have studied, we found no sign of the development of nonaxisymmetric dynamical instabilities in the collapse process.

description: This study tries to address the impact of trade on poverty through of agricultural total factor productivity (TFP). Thus, we employed a Sequential Dynamic Computable General Equilibrium Model linked to a Micro Simulation Model. We also used an econometric model to estimate the agricultural TFP of Ethiopia to create scenarios.The estimation results of this study shows that trade openness has a positive impact on agricultural TFP and our simulation result revealed that the proposed policy change mainly tariff cut and trade induced agricultural TFP have an incremental effect on all macroeconomic variables. However,poverty is exacerbated due to trade openness and tariff reduction during the simulation period.

description: Transverse electric (TE) modes can not propagate through the conducting solids. This is because the continuum of particle-hole excitations of conductors contaminates with the TE mode and dampes it out. But in solids hosting tilted Dirac cone (TDC) that admit a description in terms of a modified Minkowski spacetime, the new spacetime structure remedies this issue and therefore a tilted Dirac cone material (TDM) supports the propagation of an undamped TE mode which is sustained by density fluctuations. The resulting TE mode propagates at fermionic velocities which strongly confines the mode to the surface of the two-dimensional (2D) TDM.

description: Lethal yellowing (LY) is a fast-spreading disease which destroys coconut and other palms. Once limited to the Greater Antilles except for Puerto Rico, it has crossed ocean barriers of 14 5 km or greater to invade new areas and thus should be considered a threat to Puerto Rico and the Lesser Antilles. The American palm cixiid (Myndus crudus Van Duzee), which is the known vector of LY, has not been reported in Puerto Rico nor in the Lesser Antilles north of Trinidad. Otherwise, environmental conditions appear to be conducive to the spread of LY, were it introduced into these islands. Principles and techniques which could lessen the risk of introduction and spread of LY in the eastern Caribbean are discussed.

description: We investigate the possibility of phantom crossing in the dark energy sector and solution for the Hubble tension between early and late universe observations. We use robust combinations of different cosmological observations, namely the CMB, local measurement of Hubble constant ($H_0$), BAO and SnIa for this purpose. For a combination of CMB+BAO data which is related to early Universe physics, phantom crossing in the dark energy sector is confirmed at $95$\% confidence level and we obtain the constraint $H_0=71.0^{+2.9}_{-3.8}$ km/s/Mpc at 68\% confidence level which is in perfect agreement with the local measurement by Riess et al. We show that constraints from different combination of data are consistent with each other and all of them are consistent with phantom crossing in the dark energy sector. For the combination of all data considered, we obtain the constraint $H_0=70.25\pm 0.78$ km/s/Mpc at 68\% confidence level and the phantom crossing happening at the scale factor $a_m=0.851^{+0.048}_{-0.031}$ at 68\% confidence level.

title: The diplomacy of Sir Nevile Henderson 1937-9
Creators: name: Neville, Peter Edmund John
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1998

description: This thesis, the first study of Nevile Henderson to be completed at doctoral level in the UK, takes a fresh look at Henderson's controversial role in Berlin between 1937 and 1939. It begins by re-examining Henderson's controversial appointment to the Berlin Embassy, and contends that a close study of his earlier career (especially in Belgrade between 1929 and 1935) help to explain those aspects of his behaviour that gave rise to criticism. After close analysis of published and unpublished Foreign Office documents, the thesis challenges the traditional view that Henderson favoured the Anschluss and the dismemberment of Czechoslovakia in 1938. It also re-examines the charge that he undermined British policy by making indiscreet remarks in Germany, and argues that his scepticism about the anti-Nazi opposition was fully justified. And that he did, to a degree, carry out his 'warning' function in Berlin. Another key aspect concerns the extent to which Henderson's line in Berlin had support in the Foreign Office, and the re-consideration of his pivotal relationships with Chamberlain and Halifax. Particular attention is paid to the decision to send Henderson (by then a seriously ill man) back to Berlin in February 1939. The author's overall view is that, given Henderson's flawed analysis of the Nazi regime, a totally revisionist analysis of his time in Berlin would be untenable. The main conclusions are (a) that Henderson's influence on British policy has been exaggerated and (b) that he has been unfairly treated by historians. This thesis seeks to redress the historical balance by presenting the first close analysis, and rounded account of what Henderson called the 'failure of a mission'.
Ugandan Sexualities: Queering Identity, Human Rights, and Conflict Resolution
Creators: name: Dillon, Jonathan S.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: As sexual and gender rights gain more attention within the international human rights movement, it is crucial to incorporate a global perspective and understanding of these concepts into any future human rights legislation. This is especially true considering recent laws criminalizing same-sex and gender "deviant" behavior across the globe. This study seeks to contribute to this effort by exploring the ways sexuality and gender are conceptualized by the sexual and gender minority community - a population recently under attack by the nation's Anti-Homosexuality Bill of 2009. By broadening the understanding of how sexuality and gender are conceptualized and how these conceptions interact with other forms of identity, a more nuanced sexual and gender rights regime may be created. This expanded knowledge can then also inform the ways in which practitioners approach conflict resolution in settings where homophobia and transphobia are prevalent aspects of social conflict.

description: We study the effect of interference on the lepton number violating~(LNV) and lepton number conserving~(LNC) three-body meson decays $M_1^{+}\to l_i^{+} l_j^{\pm}π^{\mp}$, that arise in a TeV scale Left Right Symmetric model~(LRSM) with degenerate or nearly degenerate right handed~(RH) neutrinos. LRSM contains three RH neutrinos and a RH gauge boson. The RH neutrinos with masses in the range of $M_N \sim$ (MeV - few GeV) can give resonant enhancement in the semi-leptonic LNV and LNC meson decays. In the case, where only one RH neutrino contributes to these decays, the predicted new physics branching ratio of semi-leptonic LNV and LNC meson decays $M_1^{+}\to l_i^{+} l_j^{+}π^{-}$ and $M_1^{+}\to l_i^{+} l_j^{-}π^{+}$ are equal. We find that with at least two RH neutrinos contributing to the process, the LNV and LNC decay rates can differ. Depending on the neutrino mixing angles and $CP$ violating phases, the branching ratios of LNV and LNC decay channels mediated by the heavy neutrinos can be either enhanced or suppressed, and the ratio of these two rates can differ from unity.

Focusing knowledge work with task context
Creators: name: Kersten, Mik
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: By making information easy to browse and query, current software tools make it possible for knowledge workers to access vast amounts of information available in document repositories and on the web. However, when displaying dozens of web page search hits, hundreds of files and folders in a document hierarchy, or tens of thousands of lines of source code, these tools overload knowledge workers with information that is not relevant to the task-at-hand. The result is that knowledge workers waste time clicking, scrolling, and navigating to find the subset of information needed to complete a task. This problem is exacerbated by the fact that many knowledge workers constantly multi-task. With each task switch, they lose the context that they have built up in the browsing and query views. The combination of context loss and information overload has adverse effects on productivity because it requires knowledge workers to repeatedly locate the information that they need to complete a task. The larger the amount of information available and the more frequent the multi-tasking, the worse the problem becomes. We propose to alleviate this problem by focusing the software applications a knowledge worker uses on the information relevant to the task-at-hand. We represent the information related to the task with a task context model in which the relevant elements and relations are weighted according to their frequency and recency of access. We define operations on task context to support tailoring the task context model to different kinds of knowledge work activities. We also describe task-focused user interface mechanisms that replace the structure-centric display of information with a task-centric one. We validate the task context model with three field studies. Our preliminary feasibility study of six industry programmers tested a prototype implementation of the task context model and task-focused user interface for an integrated development environment. Our second study involved sixteen industry programmers using a production quality implementation of the task context model; these programmers experienced a statically significant increase in productivity when using task context. Our third field study tested a prototype implementation of the task context model for a file and web browsing application. The results of this study showed that task context generalizes beyond programming applications, reducing information overload and facilitating multi-tasking in a cross-section of knowledge work domains.

description: As sexual and gender rights gain more attention within the international human rights movement, it is crucial to incorporate a global perspective and understanding of these concepts into any future human rights legislation. This is especially true considering recent laws criminalizing same-sex and gender "deviant" behavior across the globe. This study seeks to contribute to this effort by exploring the ways sexuality and gender are conceptualized by the sexual and gender minority community - a population recently under attack by the nation's Anti-Homosexuality Bill of 2009. By broadening the understanding of how sexuality and gender are conceptualized and how these conceptions interact with other forms of identity, a more nuanced sexual and gender rights regime may be created. This expanded knowledge can then also inform the ways in which practitioners approach conflict resolution in settings where homophobia and transphobia are prevalent aspects of social conflict.

description: In the search of appropriate riemannian metrics on quantum state space the concept of statistical monotonicity, or contraction under coarse graining, has been proposed by Chentsov. The metrics with this property have been classified by Petz. All the elements of this family of geometries can be seen as quantum analogues of Fisher information. Although there exists a number of general theorems sheding light on this subject, many natural questions, also stemming from applications, are still open. In this paper we discuss a particular member of the family, the Wigner-Yanase information. Using a well-known approach that mimics the classical pull-back approach to Fisher information, we are able to give explicit formulae for the geodesic distance, the geodesic path, the sectional and scalar curvatures associated to Wigner-Yanase information. Moreover we show that this is the only monotone metric for which such an approach is possible.

description: The Tea Party and Occupy movements perceive similar problems in the current social structure of the United States while citing different causes of and solutions to those problems. This study asked six participants from each movement to describe their "ideal society" to illuminate their preferred mechanisms of social organization. The results demonstrate that the participants from Occupy and the Tea Party share: a belief in education as an impediment to, and a strategy for, the improvement of society; a desire for a social structure governed from the bottom up rather than the top down; and a perception of a lack of representation in political affairs. The results also demonstrate that study participants in the Occupy movement distrust current social institutions and favor eliminating them, whereas Tea Party participants value current institutions and aim to repopulate these institutions with people that share their philosophy.
The Deuteron as a Canonically Quantized Biskyrmion

description: The ground state configurations of the solution to Skyrme's topological soliton model for systems with baryon number larger than 1 are well approximated with rational map ansätze, without individual baryon coordinates. Here canonical quantization of the baryon number 2 system, which represents the deuteron, is carried out in the rational map approximation. The solution, which is described by the 6 parameters of the chiral group SU(2)$\times$SU(2), is stabilized by the quantum corrections. The matter density of the variational quantized solution has the required exponential large distance falloff and the quantum numbers of the deuteron. Similarly to the axially symmetric semiclassical solution, the radius and the quadrupole moment are, however, only about half as large as the corresponding empirical values. The quantized deuteron solution is constructed for representations of arbitrary dimension of the chiral group.

title: Hybrid Model for Downscaling Wind Information for Unmanned Aerial Systems
Creators: name: Büddefeld, Michael Christian
Publisher: name: UNSPECIFIED
Year: 2025

description: While the number of operated Unmanned Aerial Systems increases, providing required information services for very-low-level airspaces remains challenging. Regulators, researchers, and commercial companies worldwide focus on solutions and specifications, of which high-resolution weather services are among the most critical for the safe and efficient conduct of flights and traffic management. Due to technical constraints, small unmanned aerial vehicles are susceptible to adverse atmospheric conditions in general and wind in particular. At the same time, existing weather services cannot provide dedicated and accurate wind information for the urban canopy layer and at a microscale level. Since traditional methods for increasing the resolution of wind fore- and nowcasts are related to extensive modeling efforts and computational costs, the presented thesis aims to discover an alternate approach that serves the needs of unmanned aerial system operators. Based on synthetic datasets created with a CFD simulation and additional information on the contiguous characteristics of the urban canopy layer as Local Climate Zones, a machine-learning model capable of downscaling a mesoscale wind scenario is trained for a small-size German cityscape (Neu-Isenburg). For this approach, Gradient Boosting Machines are selected as a training algorithm, and the training data, as well as the final model output, are validated with hyperlocal real-world measurements and empirical wind laws for the surface layer of the atmosphere. The resulting hybrid WIU models provide wind information in a resolution of 5x5x5 meters between 10- and 50 meters in height for four different wind direction scenarios at a synoptic wind speed of 5 m/s. The overall root mean square error is observed to be 0.41, and the absolute percentage error is about 18% for the most complex wind fields at 10 meters in height. The model output indicates that the method captures typical characteristics, such as the exponential and logarithmic wind profiles, and ingests up- and downstream effects surrounding areas create. More complex patterns, such as wind speeds increasing in urban canyons or boundary effects at buildings' edges, require an additional preprocessing of canopy information. The evaluation through real-world measurements indicates local deviations that underline the importance of an accurate CFD model. The novel approach presented in this thesis provides a viable solution to downscale wind information in an urban environment under the premise that the resulting models can be transferred to similar areas without extensive remodeling efforts.

description: Analytical modelling of geological fractures is now at an exciting stage. In view of the ever-mounting amount of fracture data available, and the need for a European overview of the state of the art, we correlate fractures from across the continent. In order to achieve relevant and meaningful statistics, the dataset of millions of entries was downsampled to filter out inadequate and irrelevant values. The resulting data are the object of this study...

description: In this work we study different variations of the MIT bag model. We start with the so called non-ideal bag model and discuss it in detail. Then we implement a vector interaction in the MIT bag model that simulates a meson exchange interaction and fix the quark-meson coupling constants via symmetry group theory. At the end we propose an original model, inspired by the Boguta-Bodmer models, which allows us to control the repulsion interaction at high densities. For each version of the model we obtain a stability window as predicted by the Bodmer-Witten conjecture and discuss its thermodynamic consistency.

description: A system of three electrolytes separated by two parallel planes is considered. Each region is described by a dielectric constant and a Coulomb fluid in the Debye-Hückel regime. In their book Dispersion Forces, Mahanty and Ninham have given the van der Waals free energy of this system. We rederive this free energy by a different method, using linear response theory and the electrostatic Maxwell stress tensor for obtaining the dispersion force.

Optical sum increase due to electron undressing

description: For a system with a fixed number of electrons, the total optical sum is a constant, independent of many-body interactions, of impurity scattering and of temperature. For a single band in a metal, such a sum rule is no longer independent of the interactions or temperature, when the dispersion and/or finite bandwidth is accounted for. We adopt such a model, with electrons coupled to a single Einstein oscillator of frequency $ω_{E}$, and study the optical spectral weight. The optical sum depends on both the strength of the coupling and on the characteristic phonon frequency, $ω_{E}$. A hardening of $ω_{E}$, due, for example, to a phase transition, leads to electron undressing and translates into a decrease in the electron kinetic energy and an increase in the total optical sum, as observed in recent experiments in the cuprate superconductors.

DEFENDING ARTISTIC EXPRESSION IN ACADEMIC MUSEUMS: A STUDY OF THE AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION'S INTELLECTUAL FREEDOM MODEL
Creators: name: Lundgren, Lesley Dee
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Museum controversies compromise public access and appreciation of art as well as jeopardize arts funding. For this reason it is imperative that museum professionals develop comprehensive systems to manage and combat censorship disputes. The American Library Association's Office for Intellectual Freedom has developed a model with framework and strategies proven to support professionals during censorship debates. The library model, if applied to academic museums and galleries would allow for a systematic straightforward approach in preparing, defending and promoting intellectual freedom and artistic expression in academic museums.
