LEE MILLER’S “HITLERIANA” AND THE VISUAL CULTURE OF WAR-TIME ENGLAND
Creators: name: Carr, Caitlyn E.
Publisher: name: ProQuest
Year: 2023
Subjects: classificationCode: 3601
subject: Art history, theory and criticism

description: Throughout World War II, American photographer Lee Miller (1907-1977) served as a war correspondent for Condé Nast. As she followed the 273rd infantry regiment of the 45th division of the United States Army, Miller published photo essays in American, British, and French Vogue. On April 30, 1945, the day that Hitler killed himself in a Berlin bunker, Miller and her partner, Dave Scherman, found themselves in his Munich apartment. Miller proceeded to photograph some of his belongings, and she and Scherman staged a photograph in the deceased chancellor’s bathroom. This thesis examines the resulting photospread, “Hitleriana,” which was published in the July 1945 issue of British Vogue. Scholars have attended to one of the photographs in the spread, Lee Miller in Hitler’s Bath (1945), and argued that it speaks to Miller’s recent harrowing experience covering the liberation of Nazi concentration camps, her time as a photojournalist, and her interest in Surrealism. Rather than approaching this one photograph biographically, my thesis explains how and why the spread as whole, including Lee Miller in Hitler’s Bath, responds to the visual culture of the Third Reich and of Hitler in particular. Reading the photographs in relation to one another, to the essay that accompanied them, and to the visual culture of World War II more broadly, this thesis argues that the spread worked to counteract more traditional depictions of Adolf Hitler. Official Nazi imagery and popular film depicted Hitler as a larger than life, mythic figure. In “Hitleriana,” Lee Miller reveals his mortality and critiques the culture industry that would have readers see him otherwise.

description: A rebuttal of a recent article by Hirsch J.E. is presented below. To begin with, the main assumption, regarding the Meissner effect, which the whole argument relies upon, is disproved. Besides, the subsequent analysis misconstrues an original view of the Meissner effect by other authors [2]. Finally, the discussion of the Joule effect turns out to violate the first law of thermodynamics.

SECURING AMERICAN IDENTITY THROUGH THE RETELLING OF ‘9/11’

description: This dissertation is a longitudinal study of the transformation of American identity through 9/11 storytelling from September 2001 to December 2016. Drawing on and contributing to critical security studies, discourse theory, and social identity theory, I argue that the narrative of the attacks (‘9/11’) has contributed to an unconscious shift in normalized experience that has broadened the permissive boundaries of American actions at home and abroad. In other words, the extraordinary has become the ordinary. Examining the discourses of aviation security and the covert drone strike program, I explain how this permissiveness is made possible by unearthing the two-step process of how ‘9/11’ constructs threat (understood as embodied insecurity) and then reveals how that threat (in part) constitutes identity. Theoretically, I incorporate elements of ontological security and materiality into a new framework that highlights Self/Other differentiation by way of the transitory role of the Stranger. Methodologically, I use Foucauldian discourse analysis to trace the original themes of ‘9/11’ and their contestation through the texts associated with key moments in the development and implementation of each policy. Brought together, the resulting genealogy sheds light on the ways in which certain truth claims of ‘9/11’ have bounded the space of ‘appropriate’ American-ness, in turn justifying and perpetuating government policies that otherwise might have been construed as exceptional and ‘un-American’. Revealing this contingency opens up space for a reassessment of both American identity and U.S. security practices.

description: Spin networks are graphs derived from 3nj symbols of angular momentum. The surface embedding, the topology and dualization of these networks are considered. Embeddings into compact surfaces include the orientable sphere S^2 and the torus T, and the not orientable projective space P^2 and Klein's bottle K. Two families of 3nj graphs admit embeddings of minimal genus into S^2 and P^2. Their dual 2-skeletons are shown to be triangulations of these surfaces.

description: This work reports on the magnetic interlayer coupling between two amorphous CoFeB layers, separated by a thin Ru spacer. We observe an antiferromagnetic coupling which oscillates as a function of the Ru thickness x, with the second antiferromagnetic maximum found for x=1.0 to 1.1 nm. We have studied the switching of a CoFeB/Ru/CoFeB trilayer for a Ru thickness of 1.1 nm and found that the coercivity depends on the net magnetic moment, i.e. the thickness difference of the two CoFeB layers. The antiferromagnetic coupling is almost independent on the annealing temperatures up to 300 degree C while an annealing at 350 degree C reduces the coupling and increases the coercivity, indicating the onset of crystallization. Used as a soft electrode in a magnetic tunnel junction, a high tunneling magnetoresistance of about 50%, a well defined plateau and a rectangular switching behavior is achieved.

description: Computer-aided diagnosis (CADx) algorithms in medicine provide patient-specific decision support for physicians. These algorithms are usually applied after full acquisition of high-dimensional multimodal examination data, and often assume feature-completeness. This, however, is rarely the case due to examination costs, invasiveness, or a lack of indication. A sub-problem in CADx, which to our knowledge has received very little attention among the CADx community so far, is to guide the physician during the entire peri-diagnostic workflow, including the acquisition stage. We model the following question, asked from a physician's perspective: "Given the evidence collected so far, which examination should I perform next, in order to achieve the most accurate and efficient diagnostic prediction?". In this work, we propose a novel approach which is enticingly simple: use dropout at the input layer, and integrated gradients of the trained network at test-time to attribute feature importance dynamically. We validate and explain the effectiveness of our proposed approach using two public medical and two synthetic datasets. Results show that our proposed approach is more cost- and feature-efficient than prior approaches and achieves a higher overall accuracy. This directly translates to less unnecessary examinations for patients, and a quicker, less costly and more accurate decision support for the physician.
Heavy quark mass determination from the quarkonium ground state energy: a pole mass approach

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: The heavy quark pole mass in perturbation theory suffers from a renormalon caused, inherent uncertainty of $O(Λ_{\rm QCD})$. This fundamental difficulty of determining the pole mass to an accuracy better than the inherent uncertainty can be overcome by direct resummation of the first infrared renormalon. We show how a properly defined pole mass as well as the $\bar {\rm MS}$ mass for the top and bottom quarks can be determined accurately from the $O(mα_s^5)$ quarkonium ground state energy.

description: We investigate the spin-dependent thermoelectric effect of graphene flakes with magnetic edges in the ballistic regime. Employing static, respectively, dynamic mean-field theory we first show that magnetism appears at the zigzag edges for a window of Coulomb interactions that increases significantly with increasing flake size. We then use the Landauer formalism in the framework of the non-equilibrium Green's function method to calculate the spin and charge currents in magnetic hexagonal graphene flakes by varying the temperature of the junction for different flake sizes. While in non-magnetic gated graphene the temperature gradient drives a charge current, we observe a significant spin current for hexagonal graphene flakes with magnetic zigzag edges. Specifically, we show that in the "meta" configuration of a hexagonal flake subject to weak Coulomb interactions, a pure spin current can be driven just by a temperature gradient in a temperature range that is promising for device applications. Bigger flakes are found to yield a bigger window of Coulomb interactions where such spin currents are induced by the magnetic zigzag edges, and larger values of the current.

A Moral Nudge? The Role of Religious Advocacy in US Foreign Policy Decision Making
Creators: name: Babicz, Marcelline T.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: The global resurgence of religion suggests that religious actors may increasingly be relevant to the decisions states make as they navigate their relations with other states, nonstate actors, and international organizations. This dissertation adds to our understanding of religious actors by answering the question: Is religious advocacy effective at changing US foreign policy, and, if so, under what conditions? The Kingdon three streams model was used to examine three cases in which religious actors advocated for US foreign policy change. Policy change did occur in two cases (the 1996-1997 North Korean famine and the Vatican’s involvement in the US-Cuba 2014 normalization of relations) and did not occur in a third (the closure of the Guantanamo Bay detention center and the elimination of torture and indefinite detention). The findings showed that religious actors did effect policy change in the North Korean famine and US-Cuba cases, could not effect change to close the Guantanamo Bay detention center, and were not a factor in outlawing torture. Within-case and cross-case comparisons revealed three conditions that affected the potential success of religious advocacy. The first condition, appealing to an individual with the authority and opportunity to act, was necessary for religious advocacy to be successful. The likelihood of success increased if the religious actors were able to personally engage the decision makers either through interpersonal or values-based connections. Targeting broad entities such as Congress or the public appeared to be much less effective. A second condition necessary for success was agreement on what constituted moral action. Competing definitions of what was moral decreased the effectiveness of religious actors’ moral arguments. The third condition for success was a lack of competition between moral and national security arguments. When pitted against potentially significant national security concerns, the moral argument lost. Chances of failure increased the greater the disagreement about what constituted moral action and the more significant a national security threat was perceived to be. These findings extend our knowledge beyond whether religion matters to how religious actors and their moral arguments may potentially influence US foreign policy decision making.

description: A nitrogen balance model is used to investigate the adoption of a crop rotation and the limitation on the application of nitrogen fertilizer to reduce excess nitrogen. For a farmer initially planting corn continuously, the adoption of a soybeans-corn rotation will have a smaller compliance cost but it will not eliminate the excess application of nitrogen fertilizer under a relatively low nitrogen fertilizer to corn price ratio. An explicit limitation on nitrogen fertilizer use would be needed to achieve this objective. Limiting nitrogen fertilizer use on cropland susceptible to a high potential for leaching will have a smaller compliance cost than on cropland with a moderate potential for leaching.

From Defects to Boundaries

description: In this paper we describe how relativistic field theories containing defects are equivalent to a class of boundary field theories. As a consequence previously derived results for boundaries can be directly applied to defects, these results include reduction formulas, the Coleman-Thun mechanism and Cutcosky rules. For integrable theories the defect crossing unitarity equation can be derived and defect operator found. For a generic purely transmitting impurity we use the boundary bootstrap method to obtain solutions of the defect Yang-Baxter equation. The groundstate energy on the strip with defects is also calculated.

description: The motion of electrons and ions in medium-sized rare gas clusters (1000 atoms) exposed to intense laser pulses is studied microscopically by means of classical molecular dynamics using a hierarchical tree code. Pulse parameters for optimum ionization are found to be wavelength dependent. This resonant behavior is traced back to a collective electron oscillation inside the charged cluster. It is shown that this dynamics can be well described by a driven and damped harmonic oscillator allowing for a clear discrimination against other energy absorption mechanisms.

description: A significant dependence on the relative humidity H for the apparent mass (Mapp) measured at the bottom of a granular packing inside a vertical tube in relative motion is demonstrated experimentally. While the predictions of Janssen's model are verified for all values of H investigated (25%< H <80%), Mapp increases with time towards a limiting value at high relative humidities (H>60%) but remains constant at lower ones (H=25%). The corresponding Janssen length is nearly independent of the tube velocity for H>60% but decreases markedly for H=25%. Other differences are observed on the motion of individual beads in the packing. For H=25%, they are almost motionless while the mean particle fraction of the packing remains constant; for H>60% the bead motion is much more significant and the mean particle fraction decreases. The dependence of these results on the bead diameter and their interpretation in terms of the influence of capillary forces are discussed.

Sign reversal of nonlocal response due to electron collisions

description: Electron-electron collisions are known to cause a nonlocal voltage drop in a presence of current flow. The semi-phenomenological theory predicts this drop to be opposite to the direction of the current in the ballistic regime. We use a microscopic approach and show that the sign of this drop may be of both signs depending on the temperature and the distance between the source and probe contacts. The change of sign corresponds to the change of the dominant scattering process from head-on collisions to backward scattering of electrons. Our results agree with the experimental data.

Contested terrain : international development projects and countervailing power for the excluded
Creators: name: Fox, Jonathan
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Conventional international development project approaches to enable participation of the excluded often fall short of building countervailing power, which is key for accountability. This study analyzes possible exceptions to identify causal pathways, as well as long-term effects beyond projects. The methodology combines the identification of positive outliers, process tracing and comparative analysis of five World Bank projects from the 1990s that were also the focus of subsequent academic research. Tangible openings from above that enabled countervailing power took two main forms: 1) institutionalized powersharing over allocation of social funds — at local, subnational and national levels and 2) support for autonomous, multi-level social organizations, including collective titling of ethnic territories. Over the longer term, projects lacked strong national allies and their most innovative contributions were reversed, watered down or at best contained - though these differences mattered to social actors on the ground. The most analytically significant finding is that projects can have not only contested and uneven outcomes (‘‘mixed results”), but also contradictory interaction effects. This poses the methodological challenge of how to measure and explain the relative weights of both countervailing power shifts and elite capture.

The methodology combines the identification of positive outliers, process tracing and comparative analysis of five World Bank projects from the 1990s that were also the focus of subsequent academic research. Tangible openings from above that enabled countervailing power took two main forms: 1) institutionalized powersharing over allocation of social funds — at local, subnational and national levels and 2) support for autonomous, multi-level social organizations, including collective titling of ethnic territories. Over the longer term, projects lacked strong national allies and their most innovative contributions were reversed, watered down or at best contained - though these differences mattered to social actors on the ground. The most analytically significant finding is that projects can have not only contested and uneven outcomes (‘‘mixed results”), but also contradictory interaction effects. This poses the methodological challenge of how to measure and explain the relative weights of both countervailing power shifts and elite capture.
Life cycle assessment : Wesbrook building
Creators: name: Wang, Weicen
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: The objective of this LCA study is to analysis the environmental impacts, which come from product manufacturing and construction process, of the Wesbrook building, which is located at 6174 University Blvd. This building is one lf the oldest academic buildings in the UBC Vancouver campus. The methods for this study are carried of from general information assessment to the statement of boundaries and scenarios used in the assessment. On- Screen Takeoff is used here for building measurement, in order to get better accuracy. Then all the IE inputs and assumptions are put into Athena Impact Estimator for Buildings, which has one of the largest Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) database in North America, to get the environmental impacts from different impact categories. This study showed that the reinforced concrete and the modular clay brick structural system contributed the most to the final environmental impacts of the Wesbrook building, and Global Warming Pretention is the biggest impact category in this module. The result of this study can be used for decision makers and further LCA study.

description: We derive an expression for the velocity profile of a pressure-driven yield-stress fluid flow-ing around a two-dimensional concentric annulus. This result allows the prediction of the effects of channel curvature on the pressure gradient required to initiate flow for given yield stress, and for the width of the plug region and the flux through the channel at different curvatures. We use it to validate numerical simulations of the flow from a straight channel into a curved channel which show how the fluid first yields everywhere before reaching the predicted velocity profile.

Spontaneous formation of domain wall lattices in two spatial dimensions

description: We show that the process of spontaneous symmetry breaking can trap a field theoretic system in a highly non-trivial state containing a lattice of domain walls. In one large compact space dimension, a lattice is inevitably formed. In two dimensions, the probability of lattice formation depends on the ratio of sizes L_x, L_y of the spatial dimensions. We find that a lattice can form even if R=L_y/L_x is of order unity. We numerically determine the number of walls in the lattice as a function of L_x and L_y.

description: Alfvén-wave-driven 3D magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) models, which are increasingly used to predict stellar wind properties, contain unconstrained parameters and rely on low-resolution stellar magnetograms. We explore the effects of the input Alfvén wave energy flux and the surface magnetogram on the wind properties predicted by the Alfvén Wave Solar Model (AWSoM). We lowered the resolution of two solar magnetograms during solar cycle maximum and minimum using spherical harmonic decomposition. The Alfvén wave energy was altered based on non-thermal velocities determined from a far ultraviolet (FUV) spectrum of the solar twin 18 Sco. Additionally, low-resolution magnetograms of three solar analogues were obtained using Zeeman Doppler imaging (ZDI). Finally, the simulated wind properties were compared to Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE) observations. AWSoM simulations using well constrained input parameters taken from solar observations can reproduce the observed solar wind mass and angular momentum loss rates. The resolution of the magnetogram has a small impact on the wind properties and only during cycle maximum. However, variation in Alfvén wave energy influences the wind properties irrespective of the solar cycle activity level. Furthermore, solar wind simulations carried out using the low-resolution magnetogram of the three stars instead of the solar magnetogram could lead to an order of a magnitude difference in the simulated wind properties. The choice in Alfvén energy has a stronger influence on the wind output compared to the magnetogram resolution. The influence could be even stronger for stars whose input boundary conditions are not as well constrained as those of the Sun. Unsurprisingly, replacing the solar magnetogram with a stellar magnetogram could lead to completely inaccurate solar wind properties, and should be avoided in solar and stellar wind simulations.

description: The aim of this study is to estimate the influence of climate factors on the technical efficiency of Hungarian arable farms. The technical efficiency of farms is affected by several factors such as the technology used, the relative factor abundance, the institutional reforms with the input and output market environment, the farm size and scale economies, the organisation and management, and the farm’s specialisation. We employed a two-step approach to identify the impact of climate change on the efficiency of these farms. In the first step, using the Data Envelopment Analysis model, we calculated the efficiency (dependent variable in the second stage of analysis) of these processes. In the second step, we investigated the effect of climate and soil factors (independent variables) on efficiency by applying the Simar and Wilson (2007) approach. In this way we can assess the impacts of matched environmental variables through a robust, representative dataset for Hungary. Our results show that temperature and precipitation increases had statistically significant, positive effects on the technical efficiency of farms in the seeding and vegetative periods in both the constant and variable returns to scale models, and temperature increase during the generative phase of crop production had a negative effect on production efficiency.

Nontrivial behavior of the Fermi arc in the staggered-flux ordered phase

description: The doping and temperature dependences of the Fermi arc in the staggered-flux, or the d-density wave, ordered phase of the t-J model are analyzed by the U(1) slave boson theory. Nontrivial behavior is revealed by the self-consistent calculation. At low doped and finite-temperature region, both the length of the Fermi arc and the width of the Fermi pocket are proportional to $δ$ and the area of the Fermi pocket is proportional to $δ^2$. This behavior is completely different from that at the zero temperature, where the area of the Fermi pocket becomes $π^2 δ$. This behavior should be observed by detailed experiments of angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy in the pseudogap phase of high-T_c cuprates if the pseudogap phase is the staggered-flux ordered phase.
