description: Assume that the probability of success is unimodal as a function of dose. We propose a class of up-and-down designs, i.e., treatment allocation methodologies, for selecting the dose that maximizes the patients' success probability. These designs are constructed to use accruing information to limit the number of patients that are exposed to doses with high probability of failure. This treatment allocation procedure is motivated by Kiefer-Wolfwitz's stochastic approximation procedure. However, we take the response to be binary and the possible treatment space to be a lattice. The proposed procedure is shown to allocate treatments to pair of subjects in a way that causes the treatment distribution to center on the treatment with maximum success probability. The procedure defines a nonhomogeneous random walk, so well-known theory is used to explicitly characterize the treatment distribution. As an estimator of the best dose, the mode of the empirical treatment distribution converges faster than does X(I) using stochastic approximation.

description: We show that a combined analysis of CMB anisotropy power spectra obtained by the Planck satellite and luminosity distance data simultaneously excludes a flat universe and a cosmological constant at $99 \%$ CL. These results hold separately when combining Planck with three different datasets: the two determinations of the Hubble constant from Riess et al. 2019 and Freedman et al. 2020, and the Pantheon catalog of high redshift supernovae type-Ia. We conclude that either LCDM needs to be replaced by a different model, or else there are significant but still undetected systematics. Our result calls for new observations and stimulates the investigation of alternative theoretical models and solutions.

Gender, *state and citizenship in Nepal

description: This dissertation explores the relationship between citizenship and gender in Nepal. Using a historical material approach, the process of state formation in Nepal and the political, economic and social ramifications that Nepal's status of "non-postcoloniality" has for the structuring of state and society relations is traced. Revealing the manner in which it has been elite, Hindu men who have historically held state power, discourse analysis is used to focus on their constructions of "the Nepali woman" during the period of Panchayat rule in Nepal (1961--1990) and the implications this has for the formation of citizenship in Nepal. More specifically, amendments in law pertaining to women and the family are shown to result in a transformation from "family patriarchy" to "state patriarchy." It is argued that such legal changes facilitated direct state interventions into women's lives in order to shape them according to needs of the Nepali state and nation as imagined by male, Hindu, state elites. By analyzing development training strategies and family planning policies, it is argued that the homogenization of identities and the construction of the feminine, domestic, "Nepali woman," was concomitant with, and dependent on, the active de-politicization of women in Nepal. Thus it is shown that it is the passive "subject" and not the active "citizen" which is being created in Nepal. Furthermore, this dissertation makes clear the importance of not only understanding the class and ethnic dimensions of the construction of citizenship. It reveals the manner in which gender informs citizenship and citizenship informs gender. In other words, it is argued that without an understanding of the gendered dynamics of citizenship, the full implications of citizenship cannot be understood. In conclusion, this dissertation shows that the concept of citizenship is not only inherently gendered, but in the juncture of global initiatives of the project of development and the national imperatives of nation-building and bikas---development as it plays itself out in Nepal---citizenship in the context of Third World countries in the late capitalist period holds much more ambiguous and contradictory implications.

description: In this article, we try to explain and unify standard divisibility tests found in various books. We then look at recurring decimals, and list a few of their properties. We show how to compute the number of digits in the recurring part of any fraction. Most of these results are accompanied by a proof (along with the assumptions needed), that works in a Euclidean domain. We then ask some obvious questions related to the results, and mention some similar questions that have been answered. In the final section (written jointly with P. Moree), some quantitative statements regarding the asymptotic behaviour of various sets of primes satisfying related properties, are considered.

description: We introduce a comprehensive benchmark for local features and robust estimation algorithms, focusing on the downstream task -- the accuracy of the reconstructed camera pose -- as our primary metric. Our pipeline's modular structure allows easy integration, configuration, and combination of different methods and heuristics. This is demonstrated by embedding dozens of popular algorithms and evaluating them, from seminal works to the cutting edge of machine learning research. We show that with proper settings, classical solutions may still outperform the perceived state of the art. Besides establishing the actual state of the art, the conducted experiments reveal unexpected properties of Structure from Motion (SfM) pipelines that can help improve their performance, for both algorithmic and learned methods. Data and code are online https://github.com/vcg-uvic/image-matching-benchmark, providing an easy-to-use and flexible framework for the benchmarking of local features and robust estimation methods, both alongside and against top-performing methods. This work provides a basis for the Image Matching Challenge https://vision.uvic.ca/image-matching-challenge.

description: "City of Living Death," "Metropolis of the Western World," "City of Dreadful Height," "World's Prize Borough of Bunk," "Little Old New York": between 1890 and 1930, urban reformers, newspaper men, city officials, "old" New Yorkers, business boosters, and tourism promoters constructed competing "versions" of New York. In the interests of politics and commerce, each worked to promote their version of a clear public image of a city frequently perceived and experienced as unknowable. This project examines the representations they employed to make New York "knowable" to their constituents and consumers. I argue that the tourist's desire to know and see the city ultimately shaped a set of commercial representations of New York more prolific and more powerful than other previous or contemporaneous versions of the city. The tourist industry and its consumers, in both their practices and representations, made the city visible, legible, and navigable to an extent not offered by non-commercial constructions of New York.

description: Teleparallel gravity can be seen as a gauge theory for the translation group. As such, its fundamental field is neither the tetrad nor the metric, but a gauge potential assuming values in the Lie algebra of the translation group. This gauge character makes of teleparallel gravity, despite its equivalence to general relativity, a rather peculiar theory. A first important point is that it does not rely on the universality of free fall, and consequently does not require the equivalence principle to describe the gravitational interaction. Another peculiarity is its similarity with Maxwell's theory, which allows an Abelian nonintegrable phase factor approach, and consequently a global formulation for gravitation. Application of these concepts to the motion of spinless particles, as well as to the COW and gravitational Aharonov-Bohm effects are presented and discussed.

description: Patients with probable Alzheimer's disease (DAT), frontal lobe dementia (FLD), and age- and education-matched normal controls recounted (generation task) and performed (behavioral enactment task) the steps from a high (making toast and coffee) and a low (changing a vacuum cleaner bag) frequency routine everyday activity for these two scripts. Patients performed and generated significantly fewer events and committed more errors than controls. Omission errors accounted for the majority of errors in all groups, while other types of errors (intrusion and sequencing) occurred infrequently. Evidence of planning and problem-solving deficits, as well as script fragmentation were common among patients. FLD patients were less likely than DAT patients to complete the behavioral enactment tasks and, at times, failed to safeguard their surroundings. Differential performance resulting in dissociations between tasks or scripts occurred more often in patient groups than in controls. FLD patients committed more errors in the toast and coffee script than in the vacuum bag script, experiencing particular difficulties when combining events into a complex routine; this may be the result of a greater working memory load required by the toast and coffee task.

description: We discuss two types of quantum mechanical models that couple large numbers of Majorana fermions and have orthogonal symmetry groups. In models of vector type, only one of the symmetry groups has a large rank. The large $N$ limit is taken keeping $gN=λ$ fixed, where $g$ multiplies the quartic Hamiltonian. We introduce a simple model with $O(N)\times SO(4)$ symmetry, whose energies are expressed in terms of the quadratic Casimirs of the symmetry groups. This model may be deformed so that the symmetry is $O(N)\times O(2)^2$, and the Hamiltonian reduces to that studied in arXiv:1802.10263. We find analytic expressions for the large $N$ density of states and free energy. In both vector models, the large $N$ density of states varies approximately as $e^{-|E|/λ}$ for a wide range of energies. This gives rise to critical behavior as the temperature approaches the Hagedorn temperature $T_{\rm H} = λ$. In the formal large $N$ limit, the specific heat blows up as $(T_H- T)^{-2}$, which implies that $T_H$ is the limiting temperature. However, at any finite $N$, it is possible to reach arbitrarily large temperatures. Thus, the finite $N$ effects smooth out the Hagedorn transition. We also study models of matrix type, which have two $O(N)$ symmetry groups with large rank. An example is provided by the Majorana matrix model with $O(N)^2\times O(2)$ symmetry, which was studied in arXiv:1802.10263. In contrast with the vector models, the density of states is smooth and nearly Gaussian near the middle of the spectrum.

Juvenile court judges' perceptions of what factors affect juvenile offenders' likelihood of rehabilitation
Creators: name: D'Angelo, Jill Marie
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Founders hoped that juvenile offenders' likelihood of rehabilitation would increase by creating separate juvenile courts. By the 1950s, the advent of the television combined with publication of crime statistics created a picture of a violent juvenile offender. This new breed of criminal produced demands for stiffer penalties. To make them eligible for more punitive sanctions, juvenile offenders were transferred to adult criminal court, most commonly using the judicial waiver. The primary judicial reasoning was that the more stringent sentences available in adult court were appropriate for offenders who were not likely to be rehabilitated. Attitudinal theory suggests that judges' perceptions may affect the factors they consider in their transfer decisions. Thus, this research focuses on judges' perceptions. An instrument was developed to measure whether judges perceive the likelihood of rehabilitation to be influenced by extra-legal factors (e.g., demographic characteristics of juvenile offenders, family structure) or legal factors (e.g., crime committed, prior record, age). A self-administered mail questionnaire was sent to 1,040 juvenile court judges across the United States. Two indices---extra-legal and legal---were created to measure the relationship between judges' perceptions and the factors they consider in their transfer decisions. Primary analysis used frequencies, cross-tabulations, and measures of association. The factors that judges may consider in their transfer decisions are specified and vary according to state statutes. Extra-legal factors are never included in the statutes as factors that may be considered. Nonetheless, the findings confirm that judges consider extra-legal factors in their transfer decisions. The results suggest that both male and non-minority judges perceive that extra-legal characteristics (i.e.: gender, race, socio-economic status, location of residence and family structure) affect an offender's likelihood of rehabilitation. A larger percentage of Democrat than Republican judges ranked socio-economic status as a very important factor in determining offenders' likelihood of rehabilitation. All judges seem to believe that family structure and prior record are almost equally important factors in determining offenders' likelihood of rehabilitation. Thus, although judges consider legal factors in their transfer decisions, they also include criteria that are not permitted by law.
Post-Newtonian limit of generalized scalar-teleparallel theories of gravity

description: We propose a general class of scalar-teleparallel theories, which are based on a scalar field which is coupled to a flat connection with torsion and nonmetricity, and study its post-Newtonian limit using the parametrized post-Newtonian formalism. We find that among this class there are theories whose post-Newtonian limit fully agrees with general relativity; for others only the parameters $β$ and $γ$ deviate from their general relativity values $β= γ= 1$, while all other parameters remain the same, thus preserving total momentum conservation, local Lorentz invariance and local position invariance; finally, we also find theories whose post-Newtonian limit is pathological. Our main result is a full classification of the proposed theories into these different cases. We apply our findings to a number of simpler classes of theories and show that for these a subset of the aforementioned cases can be found.

description: System noise identification is crucial to the engineering of robust quantum systems. Although existing quantum noise spectroscopy (QNS) protocols measure an aggregate amount of noise affecting a quantum system, they generally cannot distinguish between the underlying processes that contribute to it. Here, we propose and experimentally validate a spin-locking-based QNS protocol that exploits the multi-level energy structure of a superconducting qubit to achieve two notable advances. First, our protocol extends the spectral range of weakly anharmonic qubit spectrometers beyond the present limitations set by their lack of strong anharmonicity. Second, the additional information gained from probing the higher-excited levels enables us to identify and distinguish contributions from different underlying noise mechanisms.

description: Founders hoped that juvenile offenders' likelihood of rehabilitation would increase by creating separate juvenile courts. By the 1950s, the advent of the television combined with publication of crime statistics created a picture of a violent juvenile offender. This new breed of criminal produced demands for stiffer penalties. To make them eligible for more punitive sanctions, juvenile offenders were transferred to adult criminal court, most commonly using the judicial waiver. The primary judicial reasoning was that the more stringent sentences available in adult court were appropriate for offenders who were not likely to be rehabilitated. Attitudinal theory suggests that judges' perceptions may affect the factors they consider in their transfer decisions. Thus, this research focuses on judges' perceptions. An instrument was developed to measure whether judges perceive the likelihood of rehabilitation to be influenced by extra-legal factors (e.g., demographic characteristics of juvenile offenders, family structure) or legal factors (e.g., crime committed, prior record, age). A self-administered mail questionnaire was sent to 1,040 juvenile court judges across the United States. Two indices---extra-legal and legal---were created to measure the relationship between judges' perceptions and the factors they consider in their transfer decisions. Primary analysis used frequencies, cross-tabulations, and measures of association. The factors that judges may consider in their transfer decisions are specified and vary according to state statutes. Extra-legal factors are never included in the statutes as factors that may be considered. Nonetheless, the findings confirm that judges consider extra-legal factors in their transfer decisions. The results suggest that both male and non-minority judges perceive that extra-legal characteristics (i.e.: gender, race, socio-economic status, location of residence and family structure) affect an offender's likelihood of rehabilitation. A larger percentage of Democrat than Republican judges ranked socio-economic status as a very important factor in determining offenders' likelihood of rehabilitation. All judges seem to believe that family structure and prior record are almost equally important factors in determining offenders' likelihood of rehabilitation. Thus, although judges consider legal factors in their transfer decisions, they also include criteria that are not permitted by law.

Breaking the Grossman-Nir Bound in Kaon Decays

description: The ratio $\mathcal{B}(K_L\toπ^0ν\barν)/\mathcal{B}(K^+\toπ^+ν\barν)$ of the branching fractions of kaon decays $K_L\toπ^0ν\barν$ and $K^+\toπ^+ν\barν$ has a maximum of about 4.3 under the assumption that the underlying interactions change isospin by $ΔI=1/2$. This is referred to as the Grossman-Nir (GN) bound, which is respected by the standard model (SM) and by many scenarios beyond it. Recent preliminary results of the KOTO and NA62 Collaborations searching for these kaon modes seem to imply a violation of this bound. The KOTO findings also suggest that $\mathcal{B}(K_L\toπ^0ν\barν)$ could be much larger, by nearly two orders of magnitude, than that predicted in the SM. In this work we study the possibility of violating the GN bound in an effective field theory approach with only SM fields. We show that the bound holds, in addition to the original GN scenarios, whether or not the kaon decays conserve lepton number. We demonstrate that the inclusion of $ΔI=3/2$ operators can lead to a violation of the GN bound and illustrate with an example of how the KOTO numbers may be reached with a new physics scale of order tens of GeV.

In or out? The paradoxical position of socially responsible black gay men in the black community
Creators: name: Wise, Sheila Jacqueline
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This study explores and analyzes the lived experiences of successful, black gay men and how those experiences influence their choices about social responsibility toward other black people. The men's discussion of sexuality, gender and community reveals the rigid constructs of gender and sexuality as well as the internal mechanisms that are in place for those who differ from the expected "norm." This research gives "voice" and action to those who have been, in a sense, silenced because of their sexual orientation. In doing so, this research provides insight into the dynamics of intra-group variance and the social construction of gender. This research was framed by two theoretical concepts: declaration of sexuality and secondary marginalization. Similarly, a theoretical emphasis on sexuality can generate textured and significant data on intra-group difference. Exploring homosexuality among black men allows for a deeper investigation of the assumed connection between sexuality and gender. Through the voices and experiences of the men in this study I will examine their ideas about their sexuality and gender as separate and distinct. I would also like to explore how and why certain ideas of manhood are perpetuated and revered. Data were collected by fifteen in-depth interviews and participant observation from successful, black gay men ranging in age from 30 to over 70 years old. Their professions were just as diverse. The various data collection techniques I used provided a system of checks and balances and at the same time, served as a comprehensive account. The archival data provided background specific to the black gay experience in Washington, D.C. Participant observation made it possible to see what people did compared to what they said they did in the in-depth interviews. Videotaping made the men and the issues more real by putting a "face" on the often discussed topic of homosexuality. Videotaping also exposed as well as educated black gays and non-gays to everyday knowledge and experiences of black gay men. The combination of these methods remains distinctly anthropological because they complement and strengthen ethnographic fieldwork. Equally important is the fact that through these various techniques the "voices" of socially responsible, black gay men will be articulated and analyzed as a basis for understanding their place within the larger black community.
The Stability Analysis of Brane Induced Gravity with Quintessence Field on the Brane with a Gaussian Potential

description: In this paper, we consider a normal branch of the DGP cosmological model with a quintessence scalar field on the brane as the dark energy component. Using the dynamical system approach, we study the stability properties of the model. We find that λ, as one of our new dimensionless variables which is defined in terms of the quintessence potential, has a crucial role in the history of the universe. We divide our discussion into two parts: a constant λ and a varying λ. In the case of a constant λ, we calculate all the critical points of the model even those at infinity and then assume all of them as instantaneous critical points in the varying λ situation which is the main part of this paper. We find that the effect of the extra dimension in such a model is independent of the value of λ. Then, we consider a Gaussian potential for which λ is not constant but varies from zero to infinity. We discuss the evolution of the dynamical variables of the model and conclude that their asymptotic behaviors follow the trajectories of the moving critical points. Also, we find two different possible fates for the universe. In one of them, it could experience an accelerated expansion, but then enters a decelerating phase and finally reaches a stable matter-dominated solution. In the other scenario, the universe could approach the matter-dominated critical point without experiencing any accelerated expansion. We argue that the first scenario is more compatible with observations.
