Together at Home: Wassily Kandinsky and Gabrielle Münter's Domestic Gesamtkunstwerk
Creators: name: Daley, Kelley
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This thesis project investigates the correspondences between the domestic residence of Wassily Kandinsky and Gabriele Münter in Murnau, Germany, from 1909 – 1914 and Richard Wagner’s theory of the Gesamtkunstwerk. I focus on Kandinsky’s designs for the house, tracing his adaptation of Wagner’s theory, and late-nineteenth-century versions of Wagner’s imagined total work of art, to the domestic realm. Scholars often argue that Kandinsky’s first experimentation with Wagner’s theory of the Gesamtkunstwerk was with his stage composition Yellow Sound published in Der Blaue Reiter Almanac in 1912; he simultaneous experimented with the Gesamtkunstwerk when he began to decorate the home in Murnau in 1909. This thesis posits that Kandinsky formulated the Gesamtkunstwerk at the home in Murnau alongside Yellow Sound—which proved to be more akin to Wagner’s conception of a public Gesamtkunstwerk—thus demonstrating Kandinsky’s various manifestations of Wagner’s theory. Through an analysis of the house and its connections to a wide range of precedents, and to works Kandinsky made while living there, this thesis provides a deeper understanding of this early period in Kandinsky’s career, which is often regarded as mere precursor for the abstract work he began to produce in the mid-1910s.

Gamma-ray Blazar variability: New statistical methods of time-flux distributions

Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)

description: Variable \gama-ray emission from blazars, one of the most powerful classes of astronomical sources featuring relativistic jets, is a widely discussed topic. In this work, we present the results of a variability study of a sample of 20 blazars using \gama-ray (0.1--300~GeV) observations from Fermi/LAT telescope. Using maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) methods, we find that the probability density functions that best describe the $γ$-ray blazar flux distributions use the stable distribution family, which generalizes the Gaussian distribution. The results suggest that the average behavior of the \gama-ray flux variability over this period can be characterized by log-stable distributions. For most of the sample sources, this estimate leads to standard log-normal distribution ($α=2$). However, a few sources clearly display heavy tail distributions (MLE leads to $α<2$), suggesting underlying multiplicative processes of infinite variance. Furthermore, the light curves were analyzed by employing novel non-stationarity and autocorrelation analyses. The former analysis allowed us to quantitatively evaluate non-stationarity in each source -- finding the forgetting rate (corresponding to decay time) maximizing the log-likelihood for the modeled evolution of the probability density functions. Additionally, evaluation of local variability allows us to detect local anomalies, suggesting a transient nature of some of the statistical properties of the light curves. With the autocorrelation analysis, we examined the lag dependence of the statistical behavior of all the $\{(y_t,y_{t+l})\}$ points, described by various mixed moments, allowing us to quantitatively evaluate multiple characteristic time scales and implying possible hidden periodic processes.

description: The ability of society to respond to global protein demand, prevent food animal disease outbreaks, and protect public health will in part rely on the availability of rural, food animal veterinarians. The rising cost and declining net present value of the DVM degree implies that the ability to supply such veterinarians will rely on an understanding of economic incentives these professions face. The objectives of this study are to identify factors that influence bovine veterinarian income and explain variation in earnings across practitioners. Attributes and characteristics of veterinarians and their practices were collected through a 2015 American Association of Bovine Practitioners survey and then used to explain veterinarian income through statistical analysis. Results indicate that the greatest incentives exist for practice owners, specialists, and in regions with large concentrations of livestock. Additionally, establishment of a strong client base and field experience will serve private practitioners better than pursuing additional education beyond the DVM degree. These variations explain nearly half of the variation in income. Human capital measures should inform future research as the remaining variation is attributed to unobserved ability.

description: A Bernoulli factory is a randomness manipulation routine that takes as input a Bernoulli random variable, outputting another Bernoulli variable whose bias is a function of the input bias. Recently proposed quantum-to-quantum Bernoulli factory schemes encode both input and output variables in qubit amplitudes. This primitive could be used as a sub-routine for more complex quantum algorithms involving Bayesian inference and Monte Carlo methods. Here, we report an experimental implementation of a polarization-encoded photonic quantum-to-quantum Bernoulli factory. We present and test three interferometric set-ups implementing the basic operations of an algebraic field (inversion, multiplication, and addition) which, chained together, allow for the implementation of a generic quantum-to-quantum Bernoulli factory. These in-bulk schemes are validated using a quantum dot-based single-photon source featuring high brightness and indistinguishability, paired with a time-to-spatial demultiplexing setup to prepare input resources of up to three single-photon states.

description: Selecting the market share, trade competitiveness index, revealed comparative advantage (RCA), and revealed competitive advantage index (CA), this paper compared the competitiveness of China and large sweet orange exporters, and made an empirical analysis. Results indicate that in terms of the market share, Spain has prominent advantage in competitiveness of sweet orange; in terms of the trade competitiveness index, Egypt and South Africa have higher competitiveness in the export of sweet orange; in terms of RCA and CA, Egypt has absolute international advantage in the export of sweet orange. China’s export competitiveness of sweet orange is much lower than other large sweet orange producers such as Spain, Egypt, and South Africa, and the export capacity is much lower than other large sweet orange producers. In view of current situations, it came up with recommendations for improving export competitiveness of China’s sweet orange, including expanding the market, diversifying the varieties, improving the quality, reducing the costs, strengthening cooperation of fruit farmer cooperatives, and enhancing government support.

description: We present high-sensitivity radio continuum observations with the VLA and Ryle Telescope at 1.5, 4.9, 8.4 and 15.4 GHz of the dwarf irregular galaxy NGC 1569. The radio data show an extended, irregularly-shaped halo with filamentary structure around the galaxy. The spectral index maps reveal an unusually patchy distribution with regions of flat spectral index extending into the halo. The data allow us to perform a spatially-resolved spectral fitting analysis of the continuum emission from which we derive maps of the thermal and synchrotron emission. The thermal radio emission is concentrated towards the brightest \hii region west of the super star clusters A and B whereas the distribution of the synchrotron emission peaks in a bar-like structure in the disk extending between the two clusters. The total flux density of the thermal radio emission allows us to derive the integrated synchrotron spectrum and we confirm the break in the spectrum that was found by \citet{isr-deb88}. We discuss various possibilities that could produce such a break and conclude that the only mechanism able to fit the radio data and being consistent with data at other wavelengths is a convective wind allowing cosmic ray electrons to escape from the halo.

description: Graph Convolutional Network (GCN) has achieved extraordinary success in learning effective task-specific representations of nodes in graphs. However, regarding Heterogeneous Information Network (HIN), existing HIN-oriented GCN methods still suffer from two deficiencies: (1) they cannot flexibly explore all possible meta-paths and extract the most useful ones for a target object, which hinders both effectiveness and interpretability; (2) they often need to generate intermediate meta-path based dense graphs, which leads to high computational complexity. To address the above issues, we propose an interpretable and efficient Heterogeneous Graph Convolutional Network (ie-HGCN) to learn the representations of objects in HINs. It is designed as a hierarchical aggregation architecture, i.e., object-level aggregation first, followed by type-level aggregation. The novel architecture can automatically extract useful meta-paths for each object from all possible meta-paths (within a length limit), which brings good model interpretability. It can also reduce the computational cost by avoiding intermediate HIN transformation and neighborhood attention. We provide theoretical analysis about the proposed ie-HGCN in terms of evaluating the usefulness of all possible meta-paths, its connection to the spectral graph convolution on HINs, and its quasi-linear time complexity. Extensive experiments on three real network datasets demonstrate the superiority of ie-HGCN over the state-of-the-art methods.

description: Agriculture is a basic industry related to national economy and people's livelihood, and is also the cornerstone of national economic development. European Union (EU) is the second largest exporter of agricultural products in the world, and its agricultural production change has international influence. In this paper, starting from two angles of EU agricultural development scale and target, development stage of its agricultural production is explored, and development and evolution causes of EU agriculture are analyzed: efficiency and benefit targets cause change of EU agricultural management model; change of agricultural product supply-demand pattern leads the evolution of EU agricultural development idea; the reflection of agricultural development target impels the transformation of EU agricultural development. On this basis, the below conclusions are obtained: agricultural development could evolve according to the changes of economic and social conditions; it is a necessary requirement of promoting internal market stability and international market harmony to actively use agricultural support policies adapting to agricultural development at each stage; it is an important measurement of impelling agricultural modernization process to promote innovation of agricultural management model and development of market integration; it is an inevitable road of realizing sustainable development of agriculture to develop ecological agriculture and emphasize equal development of agriculture and countryside. On this basis, it could provide the reference for agricultural development of China based on EU agricultural development experience.

The constraints are consistent with those from other cosmological tests, especially with the results of a joint analysis of supernovae, cosmic microwave background, and large scale structure data. From this test, the holographic dark energy also tends to behave as a quintom-type dark energy.

description: We have elucidated the spin, lattice, charge and orbital coupling mechanism underlying the multiferroic character in tensile strained EuTiO3 films. Symmetry determined by oxygen octahedral tilting shapes the hybridization between the Eu 4f and Ti 3d orbitals and this inhibits predicted Ti displacement proper ferroelectricity. Instead, phonon softening emerges at low temperatures within the pseudo-cube (110) plane, orthogonal to the anticipated ferroelectric polarization symmetry. Additionally, the magnetic anisotropy is determined by orbital distortion through hybridization between the Ti 3d and typically isotropic Eu2+ 4f. This unique scenario demonstrates the critical role symmetry plays in the coupling of order parameters defining multiferroic behaviour.

subject: Rural residents, Consumption structure, Population urbanization, Land urbanization, Industrial urbanization

description: In the process of urbanization, there are problems of decline in rural population, shrinkage of rural area, and constant increase in the per-capita net income of rural residents. These problems have brought about new characteristics and changes to the consumption structure of rural residents. This paper divided the urbanization into population urbanization, industrial urbanization and land urbanization. Using the panel data of 31 provinces in 2004-2013, it established the dynamic panel model and analyzed the effects of different types of urbanization on the consumption structure of rural residents. Results indicated that population urbanization exerts a negative effect on development-oriented consumption expenditure of rural residents, while it exerts a positive effect on enjoyment consumption expenditure; the industrial urbanization exerts a negative effect on the consumption expenditure of rural residents, while it exerts a positive effect on clothing and transportation communication consumption of rural residents; land urbanization exerts a negative effect on medical care expenditure in enjoyment consumption of rural residents. In view of these problems, it came up with recommendations, including stimulating the development of rural consumer market, liberating the consumption potentiality of rural areas, making clear emphasis points of different types of urbanization, avoiding promoting the urbanization in a blind manner, and adjusting the development of different types of urbanization on the basis of the consumption demands of rural residents.

description: Agricultural informationization is the objective demand for transforming the traditional agriculture and promoting the development of agricultural modernization. Using the statistical data of the gross agricultural output value of Hubei Province in 2005-2014, based on the C-D production function, it calculated the average contribution rate (2.48%) of agricultural informationization to the growth of agricultural economy in Hubei Province, indicating that agricultural informationization can promote growth of agricultural economy. This is basically consistent with previous findings. In addition, investment in agricultural informationization and broadband access rate also influenced the growth of agricultural economy in Hubei Province. Therefore, government should further improve the infrastructure of agricultural informationization, strengthen training of farmers’ information skills, establish auxiliary mechanism for achievement feedback of information-based agricultural production, increase the contribution rate of informationization to agricultural operation and management, promote the contribution of informationization to the growth of agricultural economy, so as to increase agricultural income of farmers.

description: Crop straw has huge resource potential. It has an important significance for realizing waste recycling and improving eco-environment to prefect straw marketization system and sufficiently stimulate farmers’ straw marketization behavior. Based on 427 copies of investigation data on farmers, influence mechanism framework of farmers’ straw marketization behavior is constructed, and key factors of farmers’ straw marketization behavior are analyzed. Results show that farmers joining in straw marketization account for 42.1%; in influence factors of farmers’ straw marketization behavior, cultivated land area, market price level, logistics satisfaction and air quality perception have significantly positive impacts on farmers’ straw marketization behavior, while education degree, agricultural income proportion and traffic convenience have significantly negative impacts on farmers’ straw marketization behavior. Therefore, it needs strengthening propaganda intensity, carrying out reasonable subsidies and support, encouraging and breeding new type of organization, and establishing and improving the price mechanism of straw marketization to perfect straw marketization construction .

Which little piggies go to market? Environmental policy incentives in Costa Rican pig production
Creators: name: Germer, Leah Arabella
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: In order to tackle climate change effectively, policymakers must ensure not only that mitigation policies and initiatives achieve their goals, but also that the goals themselves correspond to good environmental outcomes. Based on a case study on Costa Rican pig production, this study aims to contribute to a better understanding of what constitutes a good environmental outcome for climate change mitigation policy in Latin American livestock production. The findings show that the promotion of on-farm bio-digesters can act as a perverse incentive that leads producers to scale up production and transition to emissions-intensive systems, implying a net increase in greenhouse gas emissions. Small-scale producers can then no longer compete, and thus abandon production. Policies that counter incentives to scale up production, such as limits on the total number of animals or volume of emissions, must therefore be introduced in order to achieve overall reductions in greenhouse gas emissions from livestock.

description: As pig production is a main contributor of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from livestock sector, the carbon emissions of pig production are attracting increasing attention, especially in the developing countries. Based on the panel data of 30 provinces in China from 2001 to 2012, this paper measures the provincial carbon emission performance (CEP) of pig production and we use a Malmquist DEA approach to analyze the decomposition which includes desirable and undesirable output. Furthermore, the regional disparity in carbon emission performance of pig production is also analyzed and finally the convergence is tested. The main results are as follows: (i) there are provincial differences in carbon emission performance changing of pig production in China, and the carbon emission performance of pig production in 30 provinces has a downward trend during this period; (ii) among China’s three major economic regions, in terms of carbon emission performance of pig production, they are ranked in descending order as follows: Western China, Central China and Eastern China; (iii) convergence testing shows that there is a convergence trend for carbon emission performance both nationally and for the three regions.

description: In order to tackle climate change effectively, policymakers must ensure not only that mitigation policies and initiatives achieve their goals, but also that the goals themselves correspond to good environmental outcomes. Based on a case study on Costa Rican pig production, this study aims to contribute to a better understanding of what constitutes a good environmental outcome for climate change mitigation policy in Latin American livestock production. The findings show that the promotion of on-farm bio-digesters can act as a perverse incentive that leads producers to scale up production and transition to emissions-intensive systems, implying a net increase in greenhouse gas emissions. Small-scale producers can then no longer compete, and thus abandon production. Policies that counter incentives to scale up production, such as limits on the total number of animals or volume of emissions, must therefore be introduced in order to achieve overall reductions in greenhouse gas emissions from livestock.

description: Rationale. The present experiments directly compared the ability of the conditioned taste and place aversion designs (CTA and CPA, respectively) to measure the aversive effects of lithium chloride (LiCl) in male Sprague–Dawley rats. Methods. In the CTA assessment (Experiment 1), rats were given one of two novel tastes paired with LiCl (0, 0.18, 0.32, 0.56 or 1 mEq/kg) and the alternate novel taste paired with vehicle the next day. This was repeated three times, followed by a final two-bottle test. In the CPA assessment (Experiment 2), rats were given LiCl at the same doses and placed on one side of an unbiased two-chambered apparatus, followed by vehicle injection and placement on the opposite side on alternating days. This was repeated three times followed by free access to both sides in an assessment of relative preference. Results. LiCl induced robust, dose-dependent taste aversions with rats receiving 0.32 mEq/kg or greater consuming a smaller percentage of the drug-paired taste than that of controls. LiCl did not induce place aversions at any dose with LiCl- and vehicle-treated subjects displaying comparable preferences for the drug-paired side. The basis for the differences of the two designs in indexing LiCl's aversive effects was discussed.

Precessional switching of thin nanomagnets: analytical study

description: We study analytically the precessional switching of the magnetization of a thin macrospin. We analyze its response when subjected to an external field along its in-plane hard axis. We derive the exact trajectories of the magnetization. The switching versus non switching behavior is delimited by a bifurcation trajectory, for applied fields equal to half of the effective anisotropy field. A magnetization going through this bifurcation trajectory passes exactly along the hard axis and exhibits a vanishing characteristic frequency at that unstable point, which makes the trajectory noise sensitive. Attempting to approach the related minimal cost in applied field makes the magnetization final state unpredictable. We add finite damping in the model as a perturbative, energy dissipation factor. For a large applied field, the system switches several times back and forth. Several trajectories can be gone through before the system has dissipated enough energy to converge to one attracting equilibrium state. For some moderate fields, the system switches only once by a relaxation dominated precessional switching. We show that the associated switching field increases linearly with the damping parameter. The slope scales with the square root of the effective anisotropy. Our simple concluding expressions are useful to assess the potential application of precessional switching in magnetic random access memories.
Gender Differences in Rural Off-farm Employment Participation in Tanzania: Is Spatial Mobility an Issue?

description: This paper investigates gender differences in spatial mobility with respect to participation in off-farm employment in rural Tanzania. The mobility issue arises because the recent increase in women participation in off-farm employment is likely to saturate the local labor market/off-farm opportunities and dampen the rural wages/profit among women if it is not accompanied by increased geographical mobility. The results show that, despite the recent increase in their participation, women do not have significant geographical mobility, thus tends to operate more locally as compared to men. The results of decompositions of gender differences in participation in off-farm employment show that a substantial portion of the gender differences is not explained by individuals' endowments. However, policy interventions that could narrow the education gap between male and female are likely to narrow the existing gender gap. Likewise, policies that increases access to water (reduce time needed to collects water) have the potential of reducing the observed gender differences. Since geographical mobility among women is likely to be dictated by cultural factors that tend to have policy inertia, in the short run, there is need to create diversified off-farm opportunities for women within the rural areas in order to reduce unnecessary competition among them.

description: As a result of nonequilibrium forces, purely repulsive self-propelled particles undergo macrophase separation between a dense and a dilute phase. We present a thorough study of the ordering kinetics of such motility-induced phase separation (MIPS) in active Brownian particles in two dimensions, and we show that it is generically accompanied by microphase separation. The growth of the dense phase follows a law akin to the one of liquid-gas phase separation. However, it is made of a mosaic of hexatic microdomains whose size does not coarsen indefinitely, leaving behind a network of extended topological defects from which microscopic dilute bubbles arise. The characteristic length of these finite-size structures increases with activity, independently of the choice of initial conditions.

description: This paper explores the relationship between the reduction in income-poverty and government expenditure on growth strategies that have been implemented in Tanzania since the mid 2000s. The paper shows that despite impressive economic growth of about 6 percent per annum that the country has enjoyed in the course of implementing growth strategies over the past few years, poverty has declined marginally and remains pervasive in the rural sector. This paper argues that growth strategies in Tanzania have not helped to reduce income poverty significantly because government expenditures to finance such strategies have been allocated to investment in social services which reduce income poverty indirectly and as such, effects take time to be realized. This paper argues that rural income diversification coupled with substantial investment in agricultural sector remain paramount as a panacea to reducing income poverty; and improvement in the quality of life and social wellbeing.

description: The paper analyzes the financial resources for reproductive and child health related interventions in Tanzania. It shows that the government and its partners are committed to improve reproductive and child health services as articulated in various government policies and strategies. However, despite these commitments, there is considerable financing gap. Estimates show that only 23% of the national budget was allocated to reproductive health interventions in 2009/10 which is short of what is stipulated in the health sector strategic plan III (34%). Shortfall of resources puts households at risk of financial catastrophe as portrayed by out of pocket payment for accessing reproductive health services (47% in 2009/10). Inadequate resources to address supply side factors of the health system coupled with socio-economic conditions of households have resulted to poor maternal health outcomes as portrayed by high maternal mortality ratio (454 deaths per 100,000 live births) and a significant proportion of rural households which do not have access to assisted birth (60%). The paper argues for considerable additional funding and tapping innovative approaches needed to achieve universal coverage of the full package of interventions.
