description: We have analyzed spectra of the Galactic black hole GX 339-4 obtained through simultaneous 76 ksec XMM-Newton/EPIC-pn and 10 ksec RXTE observations during a bright phase of its 2002-2003 outburst. An extremely skewed, relativistic Fe K-alpha emission line and ionized disk reflection spectrum are revealed in these spectra. Self-consistent models for the Fe K-alpha emission line profile and disk reflection spectrum rule-out an inner disk radius compatible with a Schwarzschild black hole at more than the 8 sigma level of confidence. The best-fit inner disk radius of 2-3 r_g suggests that GX 339-4 harbors a black hole with a ~ 0.8-0.9 (where r_g = GM/c^2 and a=cJ/GM^2, and assuming that reflection in the plunging region is relatively small). This confirms indications for black hole spin based on a Chandra spectrum obtained later in the outburst. The emission line and reflection spectrum also rule-out a standard power-law disk emissivity in GX 339-4; a broken power-law form with enhanced emissivity inside ~6 r_{g} gives improved fits at more than the 8 sigma level of confidence. The extreme red wing of the line and steep emissivity require a centrally--concentrated source of hard X-rays which can strongly illuminate the inner disk. Hard X-ray emission from the base of a jet - enhanced by gravitational light bending effects - could create the concentrated hard X-ray emission; this process may be related to magnetic connections between the black hole and the inner disk. We discuss these results within the context of recent results from analyses of XTE J1650-500 and MCG-6-30-15, and models for the inner accretion flow environment around black holes.

description: We show that the periodic FRB 180916.J0158+65 can be interpreted by invoking an interacting neutron star binary system with an orbital period of $\sim 16$ days. The FRBs are produced by a highly magnetized pulsar, whose magnetic field is ``combed'' by the strong wind from a companion star, either a massive star or a millisecond pulsar. The FRB pulsar wind retains a clear funnel in the companion's wind that is otherwise opaque to induced Compton or Raman scatterings for repeating FRB emission. The 4 day active window corresponds to the time when the funnel points toward Earth. The interaction also perturbs the magnetosphere of the FRB pulsar and may trigger emission of FRBs. We derive the physical constraints on the comb and the FRB pulsar from the observations and estimate the event rate of FRBs. In this scenario, a lower limit on the period of observable FRBs is predicted. We speculate that both the intrinsic factors (strong magnetic field and young age) and the extrinsic factor (interaction) may be needed to generate FRBs in neutron star binary systems.

description: Let E be an elliptic curve defined over a number field F, and let p be a prime >= 5. In this paper we study the structure of the Selmer group of E over p-adic Lie extensions $F_\infty$ of F. In particular, under certain global and local conditions on $F_\infty$ we relate the generalised $Gal(F_\infty / F)$-Euler characteristic of $Sel(E / F_\infty)$ to the generalised Euler characteristic of the Selmer group over the cyclotomic Zp-extension of F. This invariant generalises the classical Euler characteristic to the case when the rank of E(F) is positive. Moreover, we show that the global and local conditions on $F_\infty$ are satisfied for a large class of p-adic Lie extensions of F .

description: The Italian National Strategy for Inner Areas stresses the importance of improving socio-economic conditions of people as the only way to reverse negative demographic trends in those areas. In this respect, improving quality of life (QoL) may represent a key driver. This work provides a statistical tool to measure existing gaps in QoL levels across Italian NUTS 3 regions, by focusing on inner areas. Being QoL a multidimensional concept, a composite indicator is computed following a non-compensatory approach: the QoL Mazziotta-Pareto Index. Firstly, we consider the variability of this indicator across Italy, with respect to the presence of inner areas. This analysis breaks down the supposed negative relationship between QoL and presence of inner areas, which the paper proves to be mostly overlapping with rural ones, by controlling for sub-national structural divides. Secondly, spatial aspects make the picture more complex. Neighbourhood affects QoL at local level and through global, and local indicators of spatial autocorrelation, groups of NUTS 3 regions sharing similar QoL levels with their neighbours, are detected. From a policy perspective, locked-in paths among neighbouring regions can influence the effectiveness of place-based policies.
title: The Synthesis and Reactions of Silylaziridines
Creators: name: Katampe, Ibrahim
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2000

description: The reaction of an α-trialkylsilylvinyl carbanion and carboxylic acid derivatives gives α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds which, under the conditions of the reaction undergo further conjugate additiorn. The enolate thus formed can also react further, depending upon their reactivity and that of the carboxylic acid derivative. The α-trialkylsilylvinyl carbanion reacted with the α,β-unsaturated ketone to give the 1,4 -addition product. Further acylation of the enolate by acetic anhydride leads to attack at the oxygen while the use of alkyl chloroformates led to attack at the carbon. The reaction of an α-trialkylsilylvinyl carbanion with the α,β-unsaturated ester, formed a product arising from two conjugate additions, irrespective of the ratio of the carbanion to the ester. This product seems to be particularly stable so does not undergo further acylation. We also examined the ability of a silicon to stabilise a positive charge in the α- or β-position. Silanes containing both vinyl and allyl groupings (bistrimethylsilylalkene) were synthesised and their reactions with electrophiles were investigated. Our observations show that the silanes prefer to react as allylsilanes. N-substitated silyl aziridines were synthesised using both thermolytic and photolytic reactions between organic azides and allyltrialkylsilanes. The reaction of allyltrialkyl - silanes with bromine azide and the subsequent cyclization of the adduct formed by reaction with lithium aluminium hydride gave the corresponding N-unsubstituted silyl aziridine. The silyl aziridines were shown to undergo ring-opening reactions with nucleophiles by way of attack on either of the aziridine caibons or on the silyl group. Nucleophiles such as hydrogen halides, trimethylsilyl halides and chloroformates react with the aziridines to give only the β-addition product via an “SN1”- type process. Whereas the use of sodium azide gave both the β- and α- addition products, with α -addition product (“SN2” - type process) being the major isomer. In the “SN1” type process, the intermediate β-carbonium ion formed is stabilized by hyperconjugation by the trimethylsilyl group. Reaction of iodosobenzene with a chlorotrimethylsilylsulphonate ester gave a very reactive electrophilic intermediate which reacted with various alkenes, in a one pot synthesis to give either sultones or cyclic sulphates. The cyclic sulphates were converted to the corresponding N-benzylaziridines.

description: This research was conducted to investigate various attitudes toward depression and its treatment in disadvantaged, depressed women. Specifically, it investigated depressed women's ideas about what depression is, what causes it, and what they think might work best to cure it, as well as how likely people are to recognize depression in themselves, be distressed by it, and want help for it. I also investigated perceived barriers to care, and stigmas associated with depression and mental health treatment, attitudes toward treatment, and preferences and expectations for various treatment methods. These attitudes were explored prior to randomized assignment to cognitive behavioral group therapy, pharmacotherapy, or care as usual. They were then reassessed after up to four sessions of education before beginning actual treatment. These attitudes were not as useful as expected for predicting which women would make use of the treatment offered to them. Women who were assigned a treatment that matched their preference were no more likely to enter treatment than those assigned to a non-matched treatment. Education sessions were somewhat helpful in improving attitudes, particularly towards medication, which seemed to produce the most reservations initially. Limitations and implications of these findings for future research and clinical practice are discussed.

description: In Turkey, a legal requirement of blending bio-ethanol with conventional fuels has been imposed, and this is likely to increase in the future. The blending target policy is multi-dimensional as it has direct and indirect impacts on agricultural and factor markets, trade and budget deficit, income distribution, food security and on environment. In this study, policy analyses are carried out to investigate whether the blending target is feasible and sustainable in terms of the economic structure of Turkey. Analyses were carried out by employing an agricultural bilateral trade model and agriculture focused social accounting matrix. Findings suggest that target rate can be feasible and harmless on food security, if the extra required supply is provided through tariff reduction particularly on imports of wheat and maize rather than promoting their production through price premiums. For achieving sustainability of the target blending rate, new supportive policies have to be implemented to create alternative job opportunities in the rural areas and/or to shift farmers for alternative crops.

title: Urokinase receptor cleavage and shedding: occurrence and consequences.
Creators: name: Sidenius, Nicolai
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2000

description: The urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR), is a multifunctional protein with an impressive range of distinct, but overlapping functions in the process of tissue remodelling and cell migration: 1) uPAR regulates extracellular proteolysis by promoting plasminogen activation; 2) uPAR regulates cell adhesion as an adhesion receptor for vitronectin and by its capacity to modulate integrin function; 3) uPAR regulates cell migration as a signal transduction molecule and by its intrinsic chemotactic activity. In this thesis I have analysed the consequences, and occurrence, of uPAR cleavage and shedding.
 In chapter 3 I analyse the structural requirements for uPAR to promote cellular adhesion to vitronectin. I demonstrate that cell surface expression of intact uPAR is necessary and sufficient to promote binding of the myeloid cell line 32D to vitronectin. In this cell system the uPAR mediated cell binding does not lead to cell spreading and does not require integrin activation. In chapter 4 I demonstrate that the chemotactic activity of uPAR maps to the linker region which connects the first and second domain of uPAR. This chemotactic epitope (the SRSRY motif) is required and sufficient for the chemotactic activity of soluble uPAR fragments and appears to induce signalling similar to that induced by uPAR ligands such as uPA. In chapter 5 I show that uPAR and the uPAR fragments Dl and D2D3 are indeed generated on the cell surface and released to the surroundings by several different cell types. In chapter 6 I describe and characterise the presence of soluble uPAR and uPAR fragments in vivo. I demonstrate that suPAR as well as the suPAR fragments Dl and D2D3 are present in human urine. Using mice xenografted with human model tumours I demonstrate that the tumour tissue is a source of urinary suPAR antigen and that the suPAR fragment pattern in urine correlates with uPAR cleavage in the tumour tissue.
Evaluation of a social support program for children with chronic medical conditions and their mothers: A cost -effectiveness and cost -benefit analysis

description: This study evaluates the cost-effectiveness and cost-benefit of the Family to Family Network Program, sponsored by the Johns Hopkins University School of Hygiene and Public Health and the School of Medicine and supported by a grant from the Bureau of Maternal and Child Health in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The project involves the collection of data on program costs, as well as the integration of this new information with existing data on client demographics, medical status, program procedures, psychosocial processes, health services utilization, and mental health and school and work attendance outcomes. A summative cost-effectiveness and cost-benefit analysis describes the cost of the program per unit of effectiveness and benefit and a formative cost-effectiveness and cost-benefit analysis evaluates the strength of the relationships between program costs, treatment procedures, the psychosocial processes that are influenced by the treatment procedures, and the outcomes or benefits generated by changes in those psychosocial processes (Yates, 1997). Most cost assessments currently in the literature can be considered summative cost-effectiveness analyses. Incorporating the summative cost data into formative cost-effectiveness and cost-benefit analyses provides health care providers and policy makers with the information needed to determine how to minimize costs necessary to achieve particular outcomes and how to maximize particular outcomes given resource constraints (Yates, 1995).

description: Rural to urban migration has always been an inherent part of the economic development process, but its impacts are poorly understood, and are often feared by governments, which has led to policies that either attempt to explicitly or implicitly hinder migration. A major concern is that rural-urban migration can threaten food security, through reductions in agricultural production. In this paper, I examine the recent literature on migration and agriculture, which takes the challenge of statistically identifying impacts of migration seriously. I begin by discussing rural-urban productivity gaps and implications for policy, following through to impacts on agricultural production and rural investment.
The media's representation of the ideal male body: A cause for muscle dysmorphia?
Creators: name: Leit, Richard Alan
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This research examined the media's representation of the ideal male body in two studies. The first study looked at Playgirl centerfolds to determine if the models had become more muscular over the magazine's 25-year history. It was found that the centerfolds had become more muscular over the years, suggesting an increasingly muscular cultural male body ideal. The second study examined the effects of exposing college men to advertisements that exploit this muscular body ideal. A control group viewed neutral advertisements while the experimental group viewed muscular men featured in advertisements. It was hypothesized that the experimental group would show generally lower body satisfaction, higher body consciousness, and a more dysphoric mood than the control group. In this study, the experimental group showed a greater discrepancy between their current and ideal body shape but this group did not demonstrate the other hypothesized associations. However, sexual orientation was found to be an important moderator variable of differences in body satisfaction.

description: Migrants in Italy often form the majority of the labour force in the primary sector; their residential and work conditions are generally of low quality, and their entrepreneurship is limited. How are the presence and action of migrants in Italian rural areas to be interpreted? The question is tackled with a framework based on the social movements literature. The mobilisation of migrants is seen as a way to enter the political arena when traditional channels are closed. Even heterodox participation is considered a sign of integration in a country. Cases of mobilisation are presented in order to show the robustness of the research perspective. The results are that migrants ‘collective action’ is rare and weak, especially in the primary sector because of gangmaster action, temporary and dispersed jobs, obtuseness of employers. Moreover, the advocacy coalition supporting migrants is unable to overcome the logic of emergency. The paper ends by wondering whether the sporadic mobilisation of migrants will lead to a moral economy of the agrifood value chain.

description: This research examined the media's representation of the ideal male body in two studies. The first study looked at Playgirl centerfolds to determine if the models had become more muscular over the magazine's 25-year history. It was found that the centerfolds had become more muscular over the years, suggesting an increasingly muscular cultural male body ideal. The second study examined the effects of exposing college men to advertisements that exploit this muscular body ideal. A control group viewed neutral advertisements while the experimental group viewed muscular men featured in advertisements. It was hypothesized that the experimental group would show generally lower body satisfaction, higher body consciousness, and a more dysphoric mood than the control group. In this study, the experimental group showed a greater discrepancy between their current and ideal body shape but this group did not demonstrate the other hypothesized associations. However, sexual orientation was found to be an important moderator variable of differences in body satisfaction.

description: The E989 Muon $g-2$ experiment at Fermilab aims to measure the anomalous magnetic moment, $a^{}_μ$, of the muon with a precision of 140 parts-per-billion. This requires a precise measurement of both the anomalous spin precession frequency, $ω^{}_a$, and the average magnetic field in terms of the shielded proton Larmor frequency, $ω'^{}_p$. The measurement of $ω'^{}_p$ with a total systematic uncertainty of 70 parts-per-billion involves a combination of various NMR probes. There are 378 probes in fixed locations constantly monitoring field drifts. A water-based probe provides the calibration. A crucial element for the multi-step measurement of $ω'^{}_p$ is the regular mapping of the magnetic field over the muon storage region. The former E821 experiment at Brookhaven employed an in-vacuum field mapping system equipped with 17 NMR probes, which was developed by the University of Heidelberg. We have refurbished and upgraded this system with new probes and electronics. The upgrades include a new communication scheme incorporating time-division multiplexing to separate the important NMR reference clock from the data communication. The addition digitization of the NMR signals replaced the hardware-implemented zero-crossing counting of the E821 system. The digitized signals offer new capabilities in the NMR frequency analysis and its related systematic uncertainties. While the mechanical systems that move the field mapper around the ring have been mostly refurbished, the motion control system was completely replaced with a custom-built electronics centered around a commercial Galil motion controller. Both the field mapping NMR system and its motion control were successfully commissioned at Fermilab and have been in reliable operation during the first data taking periods. This article provides details of the upgrades of the field mapper and its performance.

description: The objective of this paper is to detect stylized facts and put forward testable hypotheses on the presence and role of immigrant workforce in Italian agriculture. This research focuses on professional agriculture as represented by the Italian FADN over the period 2008-2015. Descriptive statistics show that immigrants are an important component of the workforce employed in professional agriculture over this period, even with wide disparities between regions, sectors and classes of economic size. Immigrants are concentrated in larger and more productive farms and their presence is positively correlated with farm’s labour productivity (LP). To understand whether they are more productive, or they are just occupied by more productive farms, the relationship between LP and their contribution to agricultural production, in terms of Annual Working Units (AWU), is modelled at the farm level, by assuming alternative model specifications. Results emphasize that, in many cases, statistically significant relationships between the contribution of immigrants and farm-level LP can result from model misspecifications. Accounting for farms’ heterogeneity can greatly influence the dimension of this link. Moreover, when assuming persistence of LP with a dynamic specification, this relationship disappears.
Spin-based quantum gating with semiconductor quantum dots by bichromatic radiation method

description: A potential scheme is proposed for realizing a two-qubit quantum gate in semiconductor quantum dots. Information is encoded in the spin degrees of freedom of one excess conduction electron of each quantum dot. We propose to use two lasers, radiation two neighboring QDs, and tuned to blue detuning with respect to the resonant frequencies of individual excitons. The two-qubit phase gate can be achieved by means of both Pauli-blocking effect and dipole-dipole coupling between intermediate excitonic states.

subject: Propensity Score Matching

description: The Northeastern viticultural industry has become a model for the whole Brazil and has been identified as a grape production district. Given the importance of agriculture in the economy of the region our study aims at analysing whether the grape producing activity affects some socio-economic indicators, namely the Theil index, the Human Development Index (HDI) and the unemployment rate over the period 2000-2010. The study is focused on the Northeastern states of Bahia and Pernambuco, two of the poorest and with the highest income inequality among Brazilian States and combines the Difference-in-Differences with the Propensity Score matching method at the municipality level. Results seem to indicate that grape growing plays an important role to guarantee a fairer income distribution. Indeed, the municipalities that grow grape experience a decrease in the level of Theil index by 11.7% compared to the level they would have if they had not participate in grape production. No effect has been found on the HDI and on the unemployment rate. Results are robust to the potential presence of an hidden bias according to the Rosenbaum sensitivity analysis.
The myth of Catholic Ireland: Unmarried motherhood, infanticide and illegitimacy in the twentieth century
Creators: name: Maguire, Moira Jean
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This dissertation argues, through an analysis of official discourses and popular experiences of two groups of social "outcasts"---unmarried mothers and illegitimate and neglected children---that the links between Catholicism and individual and collective behavior are not as simplistic or clear-cut as existing scholarship would suggest. The records of infanticide cases, and the ways that families and communities treated unmarried mothers and vulnerable children, indicates that at least in some circumstances women and men made decisions about their own moral and sexual behaviors, and evaluated their responsibility and loyalty to others, based on a variety of factors, and law and Catholic teaching were not always paramount. In its examination of attitudes toward, treatment, and experiences of infanticide and unmarried motherhood, and of the care provided by the state to illegitimate and vulnerable children, this dissertation seeks to disentangle the complex interactions between and among church, state, and society in elaborating the values, priorities, behaviors, and attitudes that defined the independent Irish state. Individuals and agencies of church and state attempted to enforce codes of maternity, childhood, and family life to suit the political and social agendas of the fledgling state, and they adopted a variety of coercive and indeed carceral methods to exact conformity. Given Ireland's historical reputation as a repressed and hyper-Catholic state, and the enduring impression even among those who lived in the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s that sex simply "did not exist" in Ireland until the 1960s, it would be easy to assume that church and state were successful in their efforts. But historians must be careful not to interpret popular attitudes, values, and priorities only in the context of official agendas and expectations. Ordinary women and men had experiences, values, and priorities that occasionally conflicted with official demands, and these conflicts are most evident where matters of sexuality and morality are concerned.
