The political activities of Karl Frank (a.k.a. Paul Hagen) in America during World War II
Creators: name: Doucette, Siobhan
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023
Subjects: classificationCode: 4303
subject: Historical studies

description: This thesis analyzes primary documents from the Hoover Institute and National Archives to explore the political career of Karl Frank, the leader of the German Socialist anti-Nazi group, Neu Beginnen. Frank from 1940 developed a position of preeminence within the German Socialist exile community in America. This thesis examines his work with the US government, in the anti-Nazi movement, and in the founding of exile organizations in America. By exploring Frank's activities in America, this thesis also looks at the circumstances of the German Socialist exile community. It challenges the assertions made by previous chroniclers of the German Socialist exile experience that in America the German Socialist community ceased to exist.

description: Pamphagus Thunberg, 1815 (type-species: Gryllus elephas Linnaeus)
A key to species has been proposed by Massa et al. (1993); it includes the following taxa, three of which live in Italy and are not present in North Africa: Pamphagus caprai Massa, 1992 (East Morocco and West Algeria), Pamphagus elephas (Linnaeus, 1758) (Central-North Algeria), Pamphagus cristatus Descamps et Mounassif, 1972 (East Algeria and West Tunisia), Pamphagus djelfensis Vosseler, 1902 (central inner Algeria, also found at Belezma, near Batna, by Benkenana et al. 2012), Pamphagus tunetanus Vosseler, 1902 (North Tunisia and West Libya), Pamphagus meridionalis Descamps et Mounassif, 1972 (Central Tunisia), Pamphagus marmoratus Burmeister, 1838 (Italy, Sicily), Pamphagus sardeus Herrich-Schaeffer, 1840 (Italy, Sardinia), Pamphagus ortolanii Cusimano et Massa, 1976 (Italy, Lampedusa Is.), Pamphagus auresianus Massa, 1992 (Algeria, Aurés Mts.) and the recently described Pamphagus batnensis Benkenana et Petit, 2012 (Aurés Mts.). Bounechada et al. (2006) and Benkenana et al. (2012) have also listed from Algeria Pamphagus marmoratus, that Massa et al. (1993, 2012) consider an endemic taxon to Sicily (Italy). A deeper comparison of specimens should be carried out and for the moment I consider Algerian specimens as P. cf. marmoratus. In addition, the record of P. elephas from Fezzan by Usmani (2007) should be revisited on the light of keys proposed in the papers of Descamps & Mounassif (1972) and Massa et al. (1993).

Essays on Post-Crisis Commercial Banking
Creators: name: Marsh, Wesley Blake
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This dissertation seeks to contribute to the understanding of the effect of regulation on bank behavior. Following the 2007-2009 financial crisis and the subsequent recession, bank regulators proposed a drastic overhaul of the financial system and their regulatory powers. Commercial banks, in particular, were required to hold higher levels of capital and liquidity and were subject to increased oversight of their business activities. Each chapter of this dissertation examines the effects of a particular aspect of these regulatory changes. Chapter 2 finds that U.S.-based capital and liquidity buffers may help to mitigate the effects of shocks originating abroad on U.S. loan markets. It finds that banks more closely tied to their foreign parents exhibit greater reductions in commercial loan exposures than banks with U.S.-based buffers. Chapter 3 examines the effect of regulatory guidance issued just prior to the crisis that targeted commercial real estate lending. Similar guidance has become more commonplace following the financial crisis. The results indicate that while the affected banks reduced lending in the targeted asset class, there were spillovers into other loan categories, suggesting that "macroprudential" regulations targeting specific asset buildups may have unintended consequences. Finally, Chapter 4 examines the effect of including fluctuations in the price of securities in banks' regulatory capital. This study finds that securities price volatility rises during times of interest rate and macroeconomic instability, suggesting that regulators may be prudent to require banks to hold capital against such price variations. Overall, the dissertation contributes to the understanding of the various and wide-ranging regulatory changes that regulators have implemented since the financial crisis. This is achieved by exploiting previously unused historical information, in the form of data or pre-crisis era regulatory actions, which shed light on the outcomes that we may expect from these new regulations.

Performance of a liquid-xenon submerged amplifier and digitizer for charge readout in nEXO
Creators: name: Angelico, Evan
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: The nEXO experiment aims to discover neutrinoless double beta decay of xenon 136, with a half-life sensitivity goal of greater than 10^28 years. Compared to using long cables to transmit signals outside of the detector, mounting amplification and digitization circuitry directly on detector submodules reduces noise, system complexity, and improves measurement fidelity. A cryogenic application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) called CRYO ASIC has been designed by SLAC and fabricated for direct readout of the nEXO ionization-charge detection modules. A prototype nEXO charge-readout module with an ASIC attached has been operated in a liquid xenon time projection chamber; the full integrated assembly of parts, xenon compatible cabling, and charge-measurement performance of the module will be discussed.

description: Longitudinal-only platooning methods are facing great challenges on running mobility, since they may be impeded by slow-moving vehicles from time to time. To address this issue, this paper proposes a vehicles swarming method coupled both longitudinal and lateral cooperation. The proposed method bears the following contributions: i) enhancing driving mobility by swarming like a bee colony; ii) ensuring the success rate of overtaking; iii) cruising as a string of platoon to preserve sustainability. Evaluations indicate that the proposed method is capable of maneuvering a vehicle swarm to overtake slow-moving vehicles safely and successfully. The proposed method is confirmed to improve running mobility by 12.04%. Swarming safety is ensured by a safe following distance. The proposed method's influence on traffic is limited within five upstream vehicles.

Prospects for Detecting the Diffuse Supernova Neutrino Background in JUNO
Creators: name: Cheng, Jie
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: As an underground multi-purpose neutrino experiment with a detector of 20 kton liquid scintillator, Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) is competitive with and complementary to the water-Cherenkov detectors on the search for the diffuse supernova neutrino background (DSNB). We employ the latest information on the DSNB flux predictions and investigate in detail the background and its reduction for the DSNB search at JUNO. The dominant background is from the neutral-current (NC) interaction of atmospheric neutrinos with 12C nuclei, whose uncertainty is carefully evaluated from both the spread of model prediction and an envisaged in situ measurement. In addition, the background suppression techniques with the pulse shape discrimination (PSD) and triple coincidence (TC) cuts are carefully studied. In this poster, we will present the prospects of detecting the DSNB in JUNO.

Discourse analysis of neoliberalism
Creators: name: Holmsten, Stephanie Seidel
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Today more than 800 million people struggle against poverty and hunger. The World Bank and International Monetary Fund are tasked with reducing poverty; and supporters of the neoliberal economic model claim its policies are the best route to do so. This study uses discourse analysis to examine how it is possible that these policies emerged to address poverty. Discourse analysis is the study of rhetorical patterns that constitute actors and effect policy outcomes. This study shows that rhetorical patterns establish the neoliberal economic model as reducing poverty, as well as constitute the market as benevolent and the government as tending toward harmful policies. Focusing on countries during the Asian financial crisis to see the results of the discourse, this study funds that discourse creates the conditions for policy recommendations in loan agreements from the World Bank and International Monetary Fund to expand the market and reduce the role of the government.

Graceful Transitions: Insights from the State of Open Infrastructure Report
Creators: name: Collister, Lauren B.
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: We often come together to share stories of increased adoption of open infrastructure, or new collaborations to strengthen a service or tool. Rarely do we talk about another story: navigating organizational changes, handling the departure of key personnel, or even spinning down a service or tool entirely. Building on IOI’s State of Open Infrastructure Report, we will use this session to explore the theme of graceful transitions: what happens when there is a phase change in an infrastructure service’s life? What are the impacts of organizational change or completion? When is it right to “spin down” a service entirely? What are the overlaps between the work of a platform or service provider in navigating change, and a library or institution making the decision to end its service or resource offering? We will share examples that we have collected in our work and in the publications of others in this space, and open up space for participants to share their experiences and examples, in the spirit of fostering an open and transparent conversation about these transitional events. Being able to prepare for and navigate these transitions in line with the core values of a service and its community and the vision for its future should be a hallmark of a healthy, robust open infrastructure ecosystem.
Organizational culture and change in the performing arts: A case study of the National Philharmonic Orchestra and Chorale merger
Creators: name: Song, Jung Eun
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: As external and/or internal environments of nonprofit organizations change, there has been increasing pressure for mergers, acquisitions, and alliances among organizations. The purpose of this study is to examine this phenomenon as it relates to medium-sized performing arts organizations. This is accomplished through the detailed analysis of the July 2003 merger of two metropolitan Washington DC groups, the National Chamber Orchestra and the Montgomery Masterworks Chorale, into the National Philharmonic Orchestra and Chorale. This case study documents the impact of two different organizational cultures on the merger and describes the governance and fundraising responsibilities of the resulting board. The thesis also identifies potential governance concerns raised by the National Philharmonic merger and discusses unique characteristics of mergers between performing arts organizations.

"Facing the wartime past": Discussions with Serbia's youth
Creators: name: Yerkes, Maryanne
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This study examines the sensitive process of "Facing the Violent Past" in post-war Serbia. More specifically, it examines the reactions of the country's educated, reform-minded youth to the idea of "facing the past" and to the local organizations spearheading the process. Through a case study analysis of Serbia and qualitative interviews with the target population, the study finds that reactions to this difficult process are not necessarily due only to widespread nationalism, but also to a variety of other factors. These factors include the post-war context of Serbia and the phenomenon of civil society building; the degree of trust people have in the initiators of the process; the extent to which the process is perceived as indigenous and participatory; psychological factors; and the types of methods used to 'face the past'. The study concludes with a call for more attention to be given to these factors and to local contexts.

Factor structure of the Anxiety Sensitivity Index and its relationship to ataques de nervios among island Puerto Ricans
Creators: name: Cintrón, Jennifer A.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Objectives were to (a) examine the factor structure of the ASI among island Puerto Ricans, (b) determine whether acculturation influences AS, and (c) investigate the relationship between AS and ataques de nervios (ADN). CFA results comparing our data to factor solutions of European American and Spanish populations indicated a poor fit. An EFA indicated a 2-factor solution (Factor 1 AS; Factor 2 Emotional Concerns) provided the best fit. Moderately high correlations between the ASI and anxiety measures indicated convergent validity, while significantly lower correlations between the ASI and BDI demonstrated discriminant validity. All scores were positively correlated with acculturation suggesting traditional Hispanic culture is associated with elevated anxiety and depression. Finally, the sample was divided into those with ADN, versus those high on AS (HAS) and low on AS (LAS) without ADN. ADN participants scored lower on measures of anxiety and depression than HAS, but significantly higher than LAS.

title: Guidelines zur Evaluierung digitaler Lernspiele
Creators: name: Weißenböck, Elisabeth
Year: 2014

description: Im Rahmen dieser Masterarbeit werden zuerst Guidelines entwickelt, die zur Evaluierung von Computerlernspielen dienen, bevor sie im Anschluss auf ihre Anwendbarkeit getestet werden. Betrachtet werden drei Bereiche: der Computer, das Lernen und das Spiel. Bisherige Studien beschäftigen sich oft mit nur einem Teil, die vorliegende Arbeit soll die Erkenntnisse aus den Einzelbereichen zusammenführen. Im Anschluss daran werden die entwickelten Guidelines in einer Design Action auf Effekte, Vorteile, Nachteile und Probleme näher untersucht. Um die Anwendbarkeit der Guidelines zu gewährleisten, wird eine Evaluierung mehrerer Computerlernspiele mithilfe eines Heuristic Walkthrough durchgeführt. Hierbei wird nicht nur die generelle Anwendbarkeit der Guidelines, sondern auch die Anwendbarkeit auf unterschiedliche Arten von Computerlernspielen (Lernquiz, Plan-/Rollenspiele, Lern-/Spielwelt und Adventure Games) untersucht. Es hat sich gezeigt, dass die Mehrheit der Guidelines anwendbar ist und nur zwei Guidelines abgeändert werden müssen. Die Guidelines lassen sich auf Plan-/Rollenspiele, Lern-/Spielwelten und Adventure Games anwenden, lediglich beim Lernquiz gibt es Einschränkungen.
description: This thesis is intended to develop guidelines for the evaluation of educational computer games, which are then tested for their applicability in a second step. Three domains are studied for this thesis: the computer, the learning and the game. So far, the existing studies in the field have mostly focused on one of these domains. This thesis therefore aims at bringing together the findings and knowledge of the previous studies of the topic in question. The guidelines are further examined in a Design Action with respect to their effects, advantages, disadvantages and problems. To ensure the applicability of the guidelines, an evaluation of several educational computer games is carried out using a Heuristic Walkthrough. While doing so, not only the general applicability of the guidelines, but also their applicability on different types of educational computer games (Lernquiz, Plan-/Rollenspiele, Lern-/Spielwelt and Adventure Games) is analyzed. The findings of the thesis showed that most of the guidelines are applicable (to most of the educational games), but two guidelines should be modified: The guidelines proved to be suitable for Plan-/Rollenspiele, Lern-/Spielwelten and Adventure Games; only the applicability of the gui-delines to the Lernquiz is subject to restrictions.

description: Objectives were to (a) examine the factor structure of the ASI among island Puerto Ricans, (b) determine whether acculturation influences AS, and (c) investigate the relationship between AS and ataques de nervios (ADN). CFA results comparing our data to factor solutions of European American and Spanish populations indicated a poor fit. An EFA indicated a 2-factor solution (Factor 1 AS; Factor 2 Emotional Concerns) provided the best fit. Moderately high correlations between the ASI and anxiety measures indicated convergent validity, while significantly lower correlations between the ASI and BDI demonstrated discriminant validity. All scores were positively correlated with acculturation suggesting traditional Hispanic culture is associated with elevated anxiety and depression. Finally, the sample was divided into those with ADN, versus those high on AS (HAS) and low on AS (LAS) without ADN. ADN participants scored lower on measures of anxiety and depression than HAS, but significantly higher than LAS.

title: Daten im Prozess Performance Management
Creators: name: Brandmayr, Felix Lukas
Year: 2014

description: Zur Messung und Bewertung der Unternehmensleistung auf Prozessebene sind Methoden die über das Geschäftsprozessmanagement und Performance Management hinausgehen erforderlich. Prozess Performance Management fasst Ansätze zur ganzheitlichen Messung und Kommunikation der Prozessleistung zusammen und bedient sich dabei an Werkzeugen des Geschäftsprozessmanagement, Business Intelligence und Performance Management. In dieser Arbeit werden durch die Untersuchung von quantitativen und qualitativen Daten aus dem Geschäftsprozessmanagement Implikationen für das Prozess Performance Management abgeleitet. Dafür werden verschiedene Fachszenarien aus dem Geschäftsprozessmanagement untersucht und Daten, die im Geschäftsprozessmanagement entstehen erhoben und analysiert. Aufbauend auf den gewonnen Erkenntnissen wird ein Metamodell erarbeitet, welches auf die besonderen Erfordernisse, die das Prozess Performance Management an die Modellierung stellt, ausgerichtet ist. Im Sinne einer optimalen Verteilung der Informationen im Unternehmen, wird ein Konzept zur Visualisierung von Daten im Geschäftsprozessmanagement in Form von rollenbasierten Dashboards vorgestellt.
description: When it comes to measuring and monitoring corporate performance based on processes, methods that go beyond business process management and performance management are needed. Process Performance Management combines approaches for holistic process performance measurement and communication. Therefor it employs tools from business process management, business intelligence and performance management. This work puts the focus on the deduction of implications for process performance management from analyzing qualitative and quantitative data in business process management. For this purpose different business scenarios are examined and data that is generated and used in business process management is being collected and analyzed. Based on these results a metamodel is being developed that is adapted to the specific requirements that process performance management poses on the modeling environment.

The Other End of Invisible
Creators: name: Mountford, Meaghan Elizabeth
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023
Subjects: classificationCode: 360201
subject: Creative writing (incl. scriptwriting)

description: The Other End of Invisible is an original novel for young readers. When eleven year old Emily Lane moves to Lustertown, she immediately feels a change. Color seems diluted, faded somehow, as though a giant hand had added a few drops of gray paint to the long, swaying green grass and bright blue sky and stirred to blend. Her senses dull, and the air becomes still and stale. Emily's defense to cope in this town is invisibility. She works hard to blend into the background and not be noticed. But then everything changes when the Mayor begins his Rainbow Project---a plan to build an enormous plastic Rainbow that will span over the entire town---with the promise to end the curse on Lustertown. Not only do her mean teacher and the school bully start to notice her, but Emily, together with her new friend Joshua, start a battle against the Mayor himself as they are swept up into the mystery of Lustertown.

Reactions of cerium(IV) ammonium nitrate (CAN) with dithiodimethyl beta-lactam sulfides and sulfones: New synthetic approach to 1,3-dicarbonyl systems
Creators: name: Rahman, Miti Farzana
Publisher: name: American University

description: For many years, beta-lactam antibiotics have been used for the treatment of bacterial infections including Staphylococcus aureus infections. However, the efficacy of some of these beta-lactam drugs is slowly decreasing because of the evolution of drug-resistance microorganisms. One of the ways bacteria grow resistance is by the production of beta-lactamases. Therefore, one of the focuses to improve these beta-lactam antibiotics includes the design of beta-lactamase inhibitors that block the enzymes and strengthen the efficacy of the drugs. In this project, the main focus was on the synthesis of novel monocyclic beta-lactams containing either dithiodimethylated group or disulfoxydimethylated group at the C-4 position, along with their chemical properties and their reactions with Cerium (IV) Ammonium Nitrate (CAN).
