description: It is proposed that $S$-duality is a fundamental symmetry of nature which is spontaneously broken. Axion and dilaton are identified with the doublet of the $S$-duality symmetry group $SL(2,\mathbbm{R})$. The symmetry is broken at a high scale corresponding to the experimentally estimated axion decay constant $f_χ$. The symmetry breaking mechanism is discussed in analogy with PCAC in pion physics. $S$-duality invariant interactions of fermions with axion and dilaton doublet are introduced. The symmetry breaking mechanism contributes negligibly small corrections to fermion masses in the QCD sector. Inspired by universality in string theory, the $S$-duality invariant interaction of the axion-dilaton doublet to QCD fermions is proposed to generalize to all fermions. Phenomenological consequences of this broken symmetry are explored.

Neither Literature nor Object: Children’s Writings in the Digital Public Realm

Year: 2020

description:

The interpretation of children’s writings has often presented a particular challenge to Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums (GLAM), as the represented child has historically been deprived of agency, and children’s writings are neither ‘literature’ nor traditional display objects. In this article we will explore the methodologies of representation that are associated with the merging of children’s history and digital humanities. We will lay out an approach for digitally representing children’s writings held in museums. We will demonstrate the possibilities that have been put forward by librarians, archivists and curators internationally, and explore the tools and approaches that have emerged from the field of digital humanities for re-presenting the agency of the child creator and the child visitor within memory institutions. Moreover, in this article we will propose that the digital environment facilitates a critical site of experimentation in displaying children’s collections that allow creator, object, context, critique, and visitor to be equally valued.

Access Intimacy: The Missing Piece

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: In 2011, writer and disability justice activist Mia Mingus, in her blog Leaving Evidence, described “access intimacy” as an, “elusive, hard to describe feeling when someone else gets your access needs” and a sense of “comfort that your [entire] disabled self feels” (Mingus, 2011). Since the coining of the term in 2011, various disabled bloggers have written about access intimacy, but academic writings on the term remain sparse. McNamara (2013) calls access intimacy the “missing piece” of the disability community. Due to the sparse amount of academic literature and the power behind the words used to describe access intimacy, this qualitative research study explored the defining features of access intimacy, its importance, and the relationship between access intimacy and community building. Through blog posts and semi-structured interviews, participants expressed that access intimacy was an important and unique form of intimacy that allowed them to view their disability as a natural part of the human experience, helping them to combat internalized stigma and shame. As a result, in these moments they were able to be vulnerable, hold space for another, and just be in the moment. Being in these moments also allowed participants to utilize the lessons learned to develop healthy interpersonal relationships and community with others.

description: Aims: We investigate the spatial distribution of dust emission around Tycho's SNR to understand its origin. We distinguish the dust associated with the SNR from that of the surrounding ISM. Methods: We performed mid- to far-infrared imaging observations of the remnant at wavelengths of 9, 15, 18, 24, 65, 90, 140, and 160um using the Infrared Camera and the Far-Infrared Surveyor onboard AKARI. We compared the AKARI images with the Suzaku X-ray image and the 12CO image of Tycho's SNR. Results: All the AKARI images except the 9, 140, and 160um band images show a shell-like emission structure with brightness peaks at the north east (NE) and north west (NW) boundaries, sharply outlining part of the X-ray shell. The 140 and 160um bands are dominated by cold dust emission from the surrounding ISM near the NE boundary. Conclusion: We conclude that the dust emission at the NE boundary comes from the ambient cloud interacting with the shock front, while the origin of the dust emission at the NW boundary is rather unclear because of the absence of prominent interstellar clouds near the corresponding region. We cannot rule out the possibility that the latter is mostly of an SN ejecta origin.

It is shown that there is the van Dam-Veltman-Zakharov (vDVZ) discontinuity in $f(R)$ gravity models because $f(R)$ gravity implies GR with additional scalar. This indicates a difference between general relativity and $f(R)$ gravity clearly.

Assessing Gut Microbiomes and Their Energy Potential Among Trained Individuals
Creators: name: Jarrad T Hampton-Marcell
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2020
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: It is estimated that humans harbor as many microbial cells as their own, and the gastrointestinal tract alone contains nearly 1,000 distinct microbial species with a functional capacity that is 150 times greater than the human genome. The collection of these organisms that reside in the human gastrointestinal tract are commonly referred to as gut microbiome, which are influenced by the various factors that make up our lifestyle such as diet, medical history, and as determined more recently, physical activity, specifically exercise. Recent studies have demonstrated that the gut microbiome aids in improving body composition and physical fitness following exercise coinciding with improvements in human health of previously sedentary individuals. This draws the question: do highly trained individuals, such as athletes, harbor a gut microbiome that affects host phenotype including fitness, exercise capacity and potentially their performance? This work analyzes the role the gut microbiome plays among highly trained individuals and its implications on exercise training, as well as the governing mechanisms that drive the association between the two. Using multivariate modeling and machine learning, I attempt to show that the gut microbiome and their functional capacities are associated with exercise training, and athlete gut microbiomes are coupled to short chain fatty acid producers, which might contribute to phenotype of the athlete.
Nonlinear deterministic equations in biological evolution

description: We review models of biological evolution in which the population frequency changes deterministically with time. If the population is self-replicating, although the equations for simple prototypes can be linearised, nonlinear equations arise in many complex situations. For sexual populations, even in the simplest setting, the equations are necessarily nonlinear due to the mixing of the parental genetic material. The solutions of such nonlinear equations display interesting features such as multiple equilibria and phase transitions. We mainly discuss those models for which an analytical understanding of such nonlinear equations is available.

Sex differences in the development of visual processing in infancy
Creators: name: Gazit, Nurit Gurel
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2018

description: The first months of life are a sensitive period for the development of visual processing, and face processing in particular. The main goal of this thesis is to examine the influence of infant sex on the development of visual processing. The overarching hypothesis was that 5-month-olds would differ in performance on tasks related to the higher levels of the ventral processing stream, with females showing more advanced ventral visual processing. To begin tracing the developmental trajectory of these differences, another group was tested at 7 to 8 months, after major changes in face processing abilities occur. An exploratory look was taken throughout at two factors that may influence face processing development – the size of the social environment, and locomotion level. In Chapter 2, 5-month-olds were tested on detection of an eye expression change, from smiling to neutral, following infant-controlled habituation. As predicted, females outperformed males in evidencing a novelty preference. In Chapter 3, 7- to 8-month-olds were tested on the same task. For females, a developmental change from novelty to familiarity preference was found. For males no indication of eye expression discrimination at either age was found. In Chapter 4, both age groups were tested on discriminating a featural change in internal features (eyes, nose, mouth). A female advantage was found in 5-month-olds, but disappeared by 7 to 8 months. Chapter 5 replicated the Chapter 2 findings of female superiority in eye expression discrimination at 5 months. Contrary to prediction, females did not show greater mirror image confusion. Laterality effects for both eye expression and mirror image discrimination were found in females, and a negative relation between mirror image and eye expression discrimination was found in males. Finally, effects of the social environment on male face processing and of locomotion level on female face processing were found. The results support the hypothesis of a sex difference in the development of ventral stream processing. They inform the fields of visual/face processing development and of sex differences, showing a sex difference in infant development of processing of internal facial features and identifying additional factors involved, and have implications for studies of autism.

description: In this paper, the Dvali-Gabadadze-Porrati (DGP) brane model is confronted by current cosmic observational data sets from geometrical and dynamical perspectives. On the geometrical side, the recent released Union2 $557$ of type Ia supernovae (SN Ia), the baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) from Sloan Digital Sky Survey and the Two Degree Galaxy Redshift Survey (transverse and radial to line-of-sight data points), the cosmic microwave background (CMB) measurement given by the seven-year Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe observations (shift parameters $R$, $l_a(z_\ast)$ and redshift at the last scatter surface $z_\ast$), ages of high redshifts galaxies, i.e. the lookback time (LT) and the high redshift Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) are used. On the dynamical side, data points about the growth function (GF) of matter linear perturbations are used. Using the same data sets combination, we also constrain the flat $Λ$CDM model as a comparison. The results show that current geometrical and dynamical observational data sets much favor flat $Λ$CDM model and the departure from it is above $4σ$($6σ$) for spatially flat DGP model with(without) SN systematic errors. The consistence of growth function data points is checked in terms of relative departure of redshift-distance relation.

Uncovering the Functional Effects of Multifaceted Cholesterol-Kir2 Interactions via Molecular Modeling
Creators: name: Barbera, Nicolas A
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2020
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Cholesterol is a major component of mammalian cell membranes and an important regulator of membrane biophysical phenomena, including membrane thickness, membrane fluidity, and lipid domain compartmentalization. Moreover, cholesterol has been shown to be a key player in the regulation of membrane protein function, particularly with respect to ion channels. This thesis specifically focuses on understanding the regulation of inwardly rectifying potassium (Kir) channels, a major class of ion channels, by cholesterol. In particular, two questions were asked: i) how does cholesterol interact with its putative binding sites on the Kir channel, and ii) once bound, how does cholesterol alter the dynamic structure of the channel and regulate its function? Three complementary approaches were used to investigate this question: molecular docking, coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations, and a novel, network-theory based analysis. Overall, it was found that cholesterol-Kir interactions are multifaceted and complex, with multiple cholesterol molecules interacting with the channel simultaneously and at different, conformation state-dependent sites. These sites were likewise found to be promiscuous: cholesterol and its chiral isomers ent-cholesterol and epicholesterol interact with sites on the channel with similar favorability, and cholesterol was found to be highly flexible within its binding site. Finally, it was found that cholesterol binding events regulate channel function by mediating the interactions between important functional domains of the channel, with an increase in membrane cholesterol leading to a “de-coupling” effect between these domains. Significantly, these de-coupling events were found to be governed by specific residue-residue interactions, which could be correlated to cholesterol binding.

A Density-Based Method for Scalable Outlier Detection in Large Datasets
Creators: name: Corain, Matteo
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2020
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: DBSCAN is one of the most well-known algorithm in the field of density-based clustering, although its applicability to large datasets is generally disputed due to its high complexity. The aim of this work is to propose a new, parallel, Spark-based procedure for the sole purpose of anomaly detection, in a way which is coherent to the DBSCAN definition and suitable for the big data context. From a theoretical side, this algorithm is characterized by a worst-case performance boundary that depends linearly on the size of the dataset; in practical tests, it outperforms available solutions both in terms of result quality and overall scalability when the data grow large.
Optimization of Microspectrophotometric Analysis for the Differentiation of Pressure Sensitive Tapes
Creators: name: Sandquist, Rachel
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2020
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Four different types of colored pressure sensitive tapes—duct tape, electrical tape, packaging tape, and masking tape—were analyzed using visible microspectrophotometry configured for transmission. Sample preparation of these tapes was optimized for microspectrophotometric analysis with consideration to sample thickness, adhesive removal, and feasibility of sample handling. Duct and electrical tapes were best prepared by adhering the tape to a piece of cling wrap, fixing the sample in epoxy, and microtoming the sample into cross sections with thicknesses between 5 μm and 50 μm such that a single sample’s thickness varied less than 15 μm. Packaging tapes were best prepared by adhering the tape to a slide for direct-through analysis without cross sectioning. Masking tapes were best prepared by hand cross sectioning the tape sample. Four rolls of each type of tape, varying in color and brand, were prepared using these preparation methods respectively and analyzed for intra- and inter-roll variation as detected by visible microspectrophotometry. The beginning, middle, and end of each roll were compared and found to have no appreciable variation as observed through microspectrophotometry. The beginning of each roll was compared to the beginning of a roll of the same type, style, and manufacture purchased 6 months later and no appreciable variation was observed through microspectrophotometry. Comparisons of tape samples of the same color (e.g. blue) that differed in type or manufacturer did show appreciable differences as observed through microspectrophotometry. Duct tapes, electrical tapes, packaging tapes, and masking tapes were found to be amenable for visible microspectrophotometric analysis. This analysis was found to have the capacity to provide information indicative of class characteristics.

The assessment of on-board clean hybrid energy storage systems for railway locomotives and multiple units
Creators: name: Hegazi, Mohamed
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Batteries, supercapacitors, and hydrogen fuel cells are energy storage devices that have no emissions at the point of use. The idea of powering railway locomotives using these devices is one that could, theoretically, eliminate emissions from the railway sector. The motivation behind the research work presented in this thesis is to assess the technical feasibility of employing batteries, supercapacitors, and hydrogen fuel cells in a railway vehicle. This is meant to serve as reference to future work regarding the cost-benefit analysis, well-to-wheel emissions analysis, and life-cycle assessment of railway vehicles that employ these power sources. In this thesis, the application of on-board clean energy storage systems to railway vehicles were studied. Simulation models for battery/supercapacitor and hydrogen fuel cell/battery hybrid powertrains were developed in Simulink. These models were then used to conduct simulations for two train trips. The first trip selected was the 14 km Trehafod to Treherbert route, on which the British Class 150 diesel motive unit operates. The second trip was the 432 km London to Newcastle trip, on which the Intercity 125 train operates. Since no data regarding freight trains on freight tracks could be obtained, only passenger trains were simulated. The conclusions made at the end of this thesis could potentially apply to freight trains as well. Based on the case studies considered, it was found out that railway systems are very well suited to run on on-board clean energy storage systems from an energy consumption point of view. Although being slower responding power sources, hydrogen fuel cells proved to be capable of handling dynamic load changes in railway systems to a great extent but still required the assistance of a faster acting power source. Despite having a significantly lower electrochemical efficiency, employing hydrogen fuel cells resulted in increasing the range of travel without refueling/recharging due to the high energy density of hydrogen. Lithium ion batteries proved to be very capable in handling all the required transient power demand. In regeneration, supercapacitors outperformed lithium-ion batteries and reduced the need for frictional brakes.

On the one hand, the Phi-derivable approximations allow for a simple truncation of the infinite hierarchy of the renormalization group flow equations. On the other hand, the flow equations turn the non linear equations that derive from the Phi-derivable approximations into an initial value problem, offering new practical ways to solve these equations.

description: Starting from the QCD sum rules with nonlocal condensates for the pion distribution amplitude, we derive another sum rule for its derivative and its "integral" derivatives---defined in this work. We use this new sum rule to analyze the fine details of the pion distribution amplitude in the endpoint region $x\sim 0$. The results for endpoint-suppressed and flat-top (or flat-like) pion distribution amplitudes are compared with those we obtained with differential sum rules by employing two different models for the distribution of vacuum-quark virtualities. We determine the range of values of the derivatives of the pion distribution amplitude and show that endpoint-suppressed distribution amplitudes lie within this range, while those with endpoint enhancement---flat-type or CZ-like---yield values outside this range.

Subjective and Objective Sleep Measures and Symptomatology in Internalizing Psychopathologies
Creators: name: Chang, Fini
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2020
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Internalizing psychopathologies (IPs) such as anxiety and depression are commonly associated with disturbances in sleep (e.g., problems falling asleep, staying asleep) and emotion dysregulation. Accumulating data indicate problematic sleep is transdiagnostic and may exacerbate symptoms and emotion dysregulation in IPs. However, the majority of studies have relied on self-report measures of sleep, which are often discrepant from actigraphy, a validated objective measure of sleep. This study involved un-medicated patients with a principal anxiety disorder (n = 35) or unipolar depressive disorder (n = 12) and healthy controls (n = 20). Chi-square and multivariate analysis of variance were used to examine hypothesized groups effects and multiple regression analysis was performed to investigate associations between naturalistic sleep assessed with self-report and actigraphy, symptom severity, and habitual emotion regulation tendencies (i.e., reappraisal, suppression). We hypothesized patients would experience worse sleep, which is associated with higher symptom severity and emotion dysregulation. Study results showed that hypotheses were supported for self-reported sleep but not for actigraphy-based sleep. Specifically, poor subjective sleep, endorsed by more patients, is related to higher anxiety, higher depression, and lower reappraisal. Findings did not show sleep, either subjective or objective, to be related to suppression.
Realizing Tri-bimaximal Mixing in Minimal Seesaw Model with S4 Family Symmetry

description: In this paper, we realize the tri-bimaximal mixing in the lepton sector in the context of minimal seesaw in which only two right-handed neutrinos are introduced, with the discrete group $S4$ as the family symmetry. In order to constrain the form of superpotential, a $Z3$ symmetry is also introduced. In the model, the mass matrices for charged leptons and right-handed neutrinos are diagonal. The unitary matrix that diagonalizes the light Majorana neutrino mass matrix is exact tri-bimaximal at LO, and is corrected by small quantities of $\mathcal{O}(0.01)$ at NLO. The mechanism to get the particular scalar VEV alignments used is also presented. Phenomenologically, the mass spectrum is of normal hierarchy with $m_1=0$, and $\sum m_i$ and $|m_{ee}|$ are about $0.058 eV$ and $0.003 eV$ respectively.

description: Designing management systems based on serviceoriented principles is a pragmatic approach to handle the challenges that distributed management is faced today. In order to conform to service-oriented principles, the elements of the management systems architecture – the management services – have to be designed along domain-specific concepts. Thus, modeling the domain IT Management becomes evident within service-oriented development processes. Considering existing approaches, domain modeling is not addressed explicitly, thus hampering the construction of management systems based on service-oriented principles. In this paper, we propose an ontology for the specification of the domain IT Management and present a refi ned development approach that enables the application of the presented ontology. The application of the ontology is demonstrated by designing management services for a standardized Incident Management Process.

description: Nuclear modification factors of inclusive prompt photon production in d-Au collisions at RHIC and p-Pb collisions at the LHC are provided at different rapidities. The calculations are performed at NLO accuracy using the EPS09 NLO nuclear parton distribution functions (nPDFs) and their error sets. The results are compared to the ones obtained with the nDS and HKN07 NLO nPDFs, and to the corresponding nuclear modification factors of neutral pion production in these collisions. The sensitivity of these results to the scale choice is also investigated. Interestingly, the predictions using the different nPDF sets differ from each other to the extent that this observable can be expected to become very useful for probing nPDFs over a wide range of Bjorken-x. In order to obtain a perturbative QCD baseline in heavy-ion collisions, calculations are carried out for minimum bias Au-Au collisions at RHIC and Pb-Pb collisions at the LHC. We also estimate the maximal possible suppression which the produced QCD matter can be expected to have on inclusive prompt photon production due to the quenching of the fragmentation component. The nuclear modification factor for prompt photon production is thus suggested to be used for gauging both the cold and the hot nuclear matter effects on other hard processes which are expected to be affected by quark-gluon plasma formation, such as large-pT hadron and jet production.

description: We study the spectrum of tensor perturbations on extremal BTZ black holes in topologically massive gravity for arbitrary values of the coefficient of the Chern-Simons term, $μ$. Imposing proper boundary conditions at the boundary of the space and at the horizon, we find that the spectrum contains quasi-normal modes.

description: Recently, the MINOS collaboration reported an anomaly that the mass-squared difference and mixing angle of $\barν_μ$ $\leftrightarrow$ $\barν_τ$ are both different from that of $ν_μ$ $\leftrightarrow$ $ν_τ$. In this paper, based on the framework of neutrino oscillations, terms that break the Lorentz symmetry are used as perturbation to explain this anomaly and satisfactory results are got. Remarkably, some surprising conclusions, one of which is that in the high energy limit (hundreds of GeV) neutrino oscillation pattern will be independent of energy, are also arrived.

description: The rise of Optical Wireless (OW) technologies in recent years has motivated the development of many applications. While OW communication (e.g., Li-Fi, free-space optical) is the primary area of interest, OW positioning with an array of indoor optical beacons and a mobile optical receiver has begun to gain traction. Optical wireless positioning has the potential to complement GPS in indoor environments, such as buildings, where GPS is unreliable. There are several methods of OW positioning that are capable of metre to centimetre level accuracy. This thesis investigates an angle-of-arrival- (AOA-) based OW positioning system which we find capable of centimetre level position accuracy. In the past, OW positioning system analyses tended to focus on optical receiver design without considering the optical beacon geometry. Unfortunately, position accuracy of an OW positioning system greatly depends on both. As such, the AOA-based OW positioning system analysis presented in this thesis is broken into two areas: optical beacon geometry and optical receiver design. Optical beacon geometry is investigated to first quantify the performance of generalized optical beacon geometries using a dilution-of-precision (DOP) analysis, then to investigate several optical beacon geometries and identify trends to improve DOP. Optical receiver design is then carried out by first using the literature to identify a potential optical receiver architecture, then thoroughly investigating the design of that architecture to minimize measurement errors. Using the analysis results for both the optical beacon geometry and the optical receiver, an AOA-based OW positioning system is built. Theoretical and experimental position error results over a 1 m² working area are 1.68 cm and 1.7 cm ± 0.2 cm, respectively. The characterisations and recommendations in this thesis support improved AOA-based OW positioning system designs in the future.

description: The current work lays emphasis on investigation of theoretical and experimental performance of solution blown polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibers as wick in a Loop Heat Pipe (LHP). Theoretical equations describing the thermal balance, mass balance, volume balance and the state of vapor in a Loop Heat Pipe were modeled. An experimental setup for an LHP, with a flat evaporator base 2.5 cm × 2.5 cm connected to a condenser with an inline flowmeter was set up. Data acquisition system for recording temperature of the heater block and mass flowrate of working fluid was also setup. Deionized water was used as the working fluid. The experimental performance of a thin as well as a thick layer of nanofiber mat was compared to a case with no nanofiber mat as the primary wick. A thin layer of nanofibers provides more efficient cooling by keeping the substrate surface temperature at a lower temperature as compared to a thick layer of nanofiber mat. Substrate surface temperature was higher for both the cases of thick and thin layer of nanofiber mat in comparison to no nanofiber mat as the primary wick. However, a more uniform distribution of working fluid over the substrate surface was evident when using nanofibers as primary wick. The distribution of working fluid in the evaporator chamber was more uniform in the case of thick nanofiber mat as the primary wick as compared to the other two cases. The mass flowrate of water was more linear in case of thick layer of nanofiber mat as the primary wick as compared to a thin layer of nanofiber mat and no nanofiber mat.

description: We analyse the redshift dependence of space number density of quasars assuming that they are the short-lived active stages of the massive galaxies and arise immediately after the collapse of homogeneous central part of protogalaxy clouds. Obtained dependence fits the observational data ChaMP+CDF+ROSAT (Silverman et al. 2005) very well for protogalaxy clouds of mass $M\approx 8\cdot 10^{11}$ $h^{-1}M_{\odot}$ and ellipticity $e<0.4$. The lifetime of bright X-ray AGNs or QSOs with $L_X>10^{44.5}$ erg$\cdot s^{-1}$ in the range of energies $0.3-8$ keV is $τ_{QSO}\sim 6\cdot10^6$ years when the mass of supermassive black hole is $M_{SMBH}\sim 10^{9}$ $M_{\odot}$ and the values of other quasar parameters are reasonable. The analysis and all calculations were carried out in the framework of $Λ$CDM-model with parameters determined from 5-years WMAP, SNIa and large scale structure data (Komatsu et al. 2009). It is concluded, that the halo model of galaxy formation in the $Λ$CDM cosmological model matches well observational data on AGNs and QSOs number density coming from current optical and X-ray surveys.

Enabling Ambiguity: How Impact Investors Balance Social and Financial Returns in Practice

description: This dissertation illuminates the marketization process of moral markets. By virtue of its claim to a dual return, the new market of impact investing requires participants to manage an inherent tension between financial returns and the social or environmental impact generated through investments. This tension is evident in investor valuations, which inform social and financial thresholds for their impact investments. Through this project I explain 1) how thresholds of success and failure for financial and social impacts are established through individual and field level valuations 2) the counterbalance that certainty and ambiguity play at this stage in the moral market, and 3) the external economic and legal forces influencing impact investing’s marketization. Data obtained from impact investing conference presentations and documents, as well as in-depth interviews with foundation investors and impact investing field builders inform this project’s analysis. Examination of field level valuations at conferences, reveals tension between presentation of the market’s growth-centric vision and the locally executed strategies and tools of impact investment. Similar tension is also evident in conversations with foundation impact investors and field builders. While speaking of financial thresholds, respondents consistently define returns in relation to the “market rate” —importing financial market thresholds into impact investing. However, social thresholds are not only diversely conceived, many respondents resist labeling social impact as successful or failing entirely. These differing thresholds are functional for market growth; together they enable the scale-centric ideology articulated at the field level by permitting comparability with outside market investment performance. Similarly, maintaining ambiguity for social ‘returns’ allows a wide variety of social and environmental impact to ‘count’. This balance is influenced by the legal forces informing fiduciary duty, or those duties which require investors to act as “prudent investors” on behalf of investing organizations or individuals. As modern portfolio theory informs the notion of prudent investment, the performance of economic theory via legal regulation is evident. While past literature considers the role of pacified goods (Çalışkan and Callon 2009;2010) in marketization, this dissertation demonstrates that these pacified goods exist in relation to separate, ambiguous goods, which balance the tension introduced by moral markets, and illuminate the broader economic forces that influence legal and market boundaries. In so doing, this project provides insight into how both micro-level valuation processes and macro-level forces influence the marketization process of moral markets like impact investing.

description: Dynamically hot stellar systems, whether star clusters or early-type galaxies, follow well-defined scaling relations over many orders of magnitudes in mass. These fundamental plane relations have been subject of several studies, which have been mostly confined to certain types of galaxies and/or star clusters so far. Here, we present a complete picture of hot stellar systems ranging from faint galaxies and star clusters of only a few hundred solar masses up to giant ellipticals (gEs) with 10^12 M_sun, in particular including large samples of compact ellipticals (cEs), ultra-compact dwarf galaxies (UCDs), dwarf ellipticals (dEs) of nearby galaxy clusters and Local Group ultra-faint dwarf spheroidals (dSphs). For all those stellar systems we show the effective radius-luminosity, effective radius-stellar mass, and effective mass surface density-stellar mass plane. Two families of hot stellar systems can be differentiated: the 'galaxian' family, ranging from gEs over Es and dEs to dSphs, and the 'star cluster' family, comprising globular clusters (GCs), UCDs and nuclear star clusters (NCs). Interestingly, massive ellipticals have a similar size-mass relation as cEs, UCDs and NCs, with a clear common boundary towards minimum sizes. No object of either family is located in the 'zone of avoidance' beyond this limit. Even the majority of early-type galaxies at high redshift obeys this relation. The sizes of dEs and dSphs as well as GCs barely vary with mass over several orders of magnitude. We use the constant galaxy sizes to derive the distances of several local galaxy clusters. Both, galaxies and star clusters, do not exceed a surface density of Σ_eff = 3.17*10^{10}*M^{-3/5} M_sun pc^{-2}, causing an orthogonal kink in the galaxy sequence for ellipticals more massive than 10^{11} M_sun. The densest stellar systems (within their effective radius) are nuclear star clusters. (abridged)
