description: Dynamic Relaxation (DR) method is presented for the analysis of geometrically linear laterally loaded, rectangular laminated plates. The analysis uses the Mindlin plate theory which accounts for transverse shear deformations. A computer program has been compiled. The convergence and accuracy of the DR solutions of isotropic, orthotropic, and laminated plates for elastic small deflection response are established by comparison with different exact and approximate solutions. The present Dynamic Relaxation (DR) method shows a good agreement with other analytical and numerical methods used in the verification scheme.It was found that: The convergence and accuracy of the DR solution is dependent on several factors which include boundary conditions, mesh size and type, fictitious densities, damping coefficients, time increment and applied load. Also, the DR small deflection program using uniform meshes can be employed in the analysis of different thicknesses for isotropic, orthotropic or laminated plates under uniform loads in a fairly good accuracy

Two component theory and electron magnetic moment

description: The two-component formulation of quantum electrodynamics is studied. The relation with the usual Dirac formulation is exhibited, and the Feynman rules for the two-component form of the theory are presented in terms of familiar objects. The transformation from the Dirac theory to the two-component theory is quite amusing, involving Faddeev-Popov ghost loops of a fermion type with bose statistics. The introduction of an anomalous magnetic moment in the two-component formalism is simple; it is not equivalent to a Pauli term in the Dirac formulation. Such an anomalous magnetic moment appears not to destroy the renormalizability of the theory but violates unitarity.

Photochemical Oxygen in Non-1 Bar CO2 Atmospheres of Terrestrial Exoplanets

description: Atmospheric chemistry models have shown molecular oxygen can build up in CO2-dominated atmospheres on potentially habitable exoplanets without an input of life. Existing models typically assume a surface pressure of 1 bar. Here we present model scenarios of CO2-dominated atmospheres with the surface pressure ranging from 0.1 to 10 bars, while keeping the surface temperature at 288 K. We use a one-dimensional photochemistry model to calculate the abundance of O2 and other key species, for outgassing rates ranging from a Venus-like volcanic activity up to 20x Earth-like activity. The model maintains the redox balance of the atmosphere and the ocean, and includes the pressure dependency of outgassing on the surface pressure. Our calculations show that the surface pressure is a controlling parameter in the photochemical stability and oxygen buildup of CO2-dominated atmospheres. The mixing ratio of O2 monotonically decreases as the surface pressure increases at the very high outgassing rates, whereas it increases as the surface pressure increases at the lower-than-Earth outgassing rates. Abiotic O2 can only build up to the detectable level, defined as 1e-3 in volume mixing ratio, in 10-bar atmospheres with the Venus-like volcanic activity rate and the reduced outgassing rate of H2 due to the high surface pressure. Our results support the search for biological activities and habitability via atmospheric O2 on terrestrial planets in the habitable zone of Sun-like stars.

description: Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) is a fatal interstitial lung disease characterized by an abundance of activated fibroblasts, which deposits excessive scar tissue in the lung. IPF is believed to be a result of an aberrant wound healing process in which fibroblasts are activated, undergo proliferation, and promote the excessive deposition of extracellular matrix. The source of injury to the alveolar epithelia which triggers this repair is unknown, however as a result of this aberrant process the fibroblasts appear to assume an apoptotic resistant phenotype. Curcumin has been shown to have global anti-fibrotic and apoptotic properties; however its bioavailability limits its application as a therapeutic. We sought to enhance curcumin’s anti-fibrotic properties via its combination with aspirin and sulforaphane (CAS) in IPF and normal derived primary human fibroblasts in vitro. In addition, we sought to reveal the mechanism of apoptosis induced by this combined therapy. CAS enhanced anti-fibrotic properties were demonstrated through the inhibition of fibroblast activation markers collagen A1 and smooth muscle actin. CAS exposure resulted in a significant increase in cell death, 73.97±31.31% (p=0.0474*) and 49.64 ±6.87% (p=0.0021*) decrease in normal fibroblast (N-F) and IPF fibroblast (IPF-F) over 48 hours. CAS-induced cell death was Caspase 3/7 dependent and results in subsequent proteolytic cleavage of PARP. Previous studies have associated sulforaphane mediated apoptosis with the ERK-MEK pathway and curcumin via the NFκβ pathway. Comparison of N-F and IPF-F mediate CAS cell death demonstrated a differential duration of ERK activation, sustained verses transient, which may be associated with N-F susceptibility to CAS and the apparent apoptotic resistance in IPF-F. NFκβ pathway proteins such as BclXL, AKT, beta catenin were also differentially regulated between IPF-F and N-F. The CAS combinatorial challenge demonstrated an effective apoptotic response in the cell lines. The contrasting routes of apoptosis between IPF-F and its N-F seen here highlight a significance difference between these cells which may indicate a significant role in disease progression. A further understanding of the apoptotic mechanisms in IPF-F will identify cell specific targets for the directed elimination of IPF-F while preserving the integrity of N-F and epithelial populations in the IPF lung.
Looking Beyond a Clever Narrative: Visual Context and Attention are Primary Drivers of Affect in Video Advertisements

description: Emotion evoked by an advertisement plays a key role in influencing brand recall and eventual consumer choices. Automatic ad affect recognition has several useful applications. However, the use of content-based feature representations does not give insights into how affect is modulated by aspects such as the ad scene setting, salient object attributes and their interactions. Neither do such approaches inform us on how humans prioritize visual information for ad understanding. Our work addresses these lacunae by decomposing video content into detected objects, coarse scene structure, object statistics and actively attended objects identified via eye-gaze. We measure the importance of each of these information channels by systematically incorporating related information into ad affect prediction models. Contrary to the popular notion that ad affect hinges on the narrative and the clever use of linguistic and social cues, we find that actively attended objects and the coarse scene structure better encode affective information as compared to individual scene objects or conspicuous background elements.

description: Although SiOx is a well-known promising anode material for Li-ion batteries because of its high energy density and cyclic stability, the inferior electron transport kinetics and morphologically unstable solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) layer formed on the SiOx anode result in inadequate electrochemical performance. Herein, to overcome the poor electron transport kinetics, a carbon-incorporated/carbon-coated SiOx((C-SiOx)@C) composite is fabricated. In addition, the (C-SiOx)@C electrode is pre-lithiated using a charging circuit under an optimized resistance to form a structurally durable SEI layer with high Li+ diffusivity during the charge–discharge processes. Thus, the (C-SiOx)@C composite exhibits highly improved cycle performance. Elaborately designed SEI composed of LiF for physical sturdiness and Li2O to achieve high Li+ diffusivity resulted in highly improved cyclic performance as well as initial coulombic efficiency.
Networks and Misallocation: Insurance, Migration, and the Rural-Urban Wage Gap

description: We provide an explanation for the large spatial wage disparities and low male migration in India based on the trade-off between consumption-smoothing, provided bycaste-based rural insurance networks, and the income-gains from migration. Our theory generates two key empirically-verified predictions: (i) males in relatively wealthy households within a caste who benefit less from the redistributive (surplus-maximizing)network will be more likely to migrate, and (ii) males in households facing greater rural income-risk (who benefit more from the insurance network) migrate less. Structural estimates show that small improvements in formal insurance decrease the spatial misallocation of labor by substantially increasing migration.
Religious Riots and Electoral Politics in India

description: The effect of ethnic violence on electoral results provides useful insights into voter behaviour and the incentives for political parties in democratic societies. Religious riots have claimed more than 14,000 lives in India since 1950. We study the effect of Hindu-Muslim riots on election results in India. We combine data on riots with electoral data on state legislature elections and control variables on demographics and public goods provision to construct a unique panel data set for16 large states in India over a 25 year period commencing in 1977. We use anew instrument that draws upon the random variation in the day of the week that important Hindu festivals fall on in each year to isolate the causal effect of riots on electoral results. We find that riots occurring in the year preceding an election increase the vote share of the Bharatiya Janata Party in the election. We find suggestive evidence that communal polarisation is the likely mechanism driving our results.
ELECTRONIC STATES IN GRADED-GAP JUNCTIONS WITH BAND INVERSION

description: We theoretically study electronic states in graded-gap junctions of IV-VI compounds with band inversion. Using a two-band model within the ${\bf k}\cdot{\bf p}$ approximation and assuming that the gap and the gap centre present linear profiles, we demonstrate the existence of a set of localized states along the growth direction with a discrete energy spectrum. The envelope functions are found to be combination of harmonic oscillator eigenfunctions, and the corresponding energy levels are proportional to the square root of the quantum number. The level spacing can be directly controlled by varying the structure thickness.

description: We explore the use of the cosmic infrared background as a tracer of the LSS for cross-correlating with the CMB and exploit the ISW. We use the improved linear CIB model of Maniyar et al (2018) and derive the theoretical CIBxISW cross-correlation for Planck HFI frequencies 217, 353, 545 and 857 GHz and IRAS 3000 GHz. We predict a positive cross-correlation between the CIB and CMB whose amplitude decreases rapidly at small scales. We perform a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) analysis on this cross-correlation. In the ideal case of the cross-correlation obtained over 70% (40%) of the sky with no residual contaminants (e.g. galactic dust) in maps, the SNR ranges from 4.2-5.6 (3.2-4.3) with the highest for 857 GHz. A Fisher matrix analysis shows that an ISW signal detected with such high SNR on the 40% sky can improve the constraints on the cosmological parameters considerably; constraints on the equation of state of the dark energy are improved by 80%. We then perform a more realistic analysis with the effect of residual galactic dust contamination in CIB maps. We calculate the dust power spectra for several frequencies and sky fractions which dominate over CIB at lower multipoles we are interested in. Considering conservative 10% residual level of galactic dust in the CIB power spectra, we find that the SNR drops drastically making ISW detection difficult. To check the capability of current maps to detect ISW via this method, we measure the cross-correlation of the CIB and the CMB Planck maps on so called GASS field covering an area of 11% in the southern hemisphere. We find that with such a small sky fraction and dust residuals present in CIB maps, we do not detect ISW signal and the measured signal is consistent with zero. In order not to degrade the SNR for the ISW measurement by more than 10% on the 40% sky, we find that the dust needs to be cleaned up to 0.01% level on the power spectrum.

description: This thesis examines the changing spatial distribution of Farm Wineries in the Mid-Atlantic United States from 1975-2015. In order to determine the factors that influence the location of Farm Wineries in developing wine regions, I conduct four sets of statistical tests upon the datasets of Farm Winery locations in New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia, and the total of all states within the Mid-Atlantic region (including Delaware). The four tests are temporal autocorrelation in the number of new wineries opened during each year of the study period, Nearest Neighbor Ratio of the wineries opened in each state, chi-squared test of the differences between the distribution of soil families in Farm Winery sites and the state/region, and clustering of elevation values of Farm Winery sites. Commonalities were detected in the volatility of year-to-year winery openings, indicating the influence of short-term economic factors upon the general pattern of wine region growth. Additionally, the common pattern of increased clustering of Farm Wineries over time shows a general benefit to spatial clustering in developing wine regions. The lack of commonality between states in the patterns of elevation clustering and soil family distribution demonstrate that the potential effects of both factors in the success of Farm Wineries is best examined at the local level.

 Note:—No original material was found in the studied herbaria. Therefore, in accordance with the Art. 9.8 of the ICN, a neotypification would be required. In PAL is housed a specimen (code PAL11874) collected in May at Ficarazzi (a village near Palermo) by V. Tineo; no date was reported; it bears the name Andryala tenuifolia, so it was labelled after 1838. PAL11874 consists of a damaged portion of plants with few leaves and capitula that does not allow a clear lecture of the diagnostic characters. Therefore, we prefer to designate as neotype a specimen collected from Ficarazzi by Michele Lojacono-Pojero preserved at P (distributed within his Centuries “Plantae Siculae Rariores”). It is a wellpreserved specimen rich in leaves and capitula. The neotype designated here matches the protologue and corresponds to the current application of the name that is referred to a plant endemic to Sicily, peninsular Italy, Sardinia and Corse (Greuter 2006).

We extend our single-band semi-parametric Gaussian process modeling of Mira light curves to a multi-band version and obtain improved period determinations. We use our previous results on near-infrared properties of candidate Miras in the LMC to classify the majority of the M33 sample into Oxygen- or Carbon-rich subsets. We derive Period-Luminosity relations for O-rich Miras and determine a distance modulus for M33 of 24.80 +- 0.06 mag.

We also propose a novel nonparametric estimator based on our identification analysis, which combines standard kernel estimation with the computation of a matrix eigenvector problem. Our esti-mator avoids the ill-posed inverse issues associated with existing nonparametric instrumental variables based Euler equation estimators. We derive limiting distributions for our estimator and for relevant associated functionals. We provide a Monte Carlo analysis and an empirical application to US household-level consumption data.

description: Motivated by the long-standing debate on the pros and cons of competitive devaluation, we propose a new perspective on how monetary and exchange rate policies can contribute to a country's international competitiveness. We refocus the analysis on the implications of monetary stabilization for a country's comparative advantage. We develop a two-country New-Keynesian model allowing for two tradable sectors in each country: while one sector is perfectly competitive,firms in the other sector produce differentiated goods under monopolistic competition subject to sunk entry costs and nominal rigidities, hence their performance is more sensitive to macroeconomic uncertainty. We show that, by stabilizing markups, monetary policy can foster the competitiveness of these firms, encouraging investment and entry in the differentiated goods sector, and ultimately affecting the composition of domestic output and exports. Panel regressions based on worldwide exports to the U.S. by sector lend empirical support to the theory.Constraining monetary policy with an exchange rate peg lowers a country's share of differentiated goods in exports between 4 and 12 percent.

description: The Mirror Matter or Exact Parity Model sees every standard particle, including the physical neutral Higgs boson, paired with a parity partner. The unbroken parity symmetry forces the mass eigenstate Higgs bosons to be maximal mixtures of the ordinary and mirror Higgs bosons. Each of these mass eigenstates will therefore decay 50% of the time into invisible mirror particles, providing a clear and interesting signature for the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) which could thus establish the existence of the mirror world. However, for this effect to be observable the mass difference between the two eigenstates must be sufficiently large. In this paper, we study cosmological constraints from Big Bang Nucleosynthesis on the mass difference parameter. We find that the temperature of the radiation dominated (RD) phase of the universe should never have exceeded a few 10's of GeV if the mass difference is to be observable at the LHC. Chaotic inflation with very inefficient reheating provides an example of how such a cosmology could arise. We conclude that the LHC could thus discover the mirror world and simultaneously establish an upper bound on the temperature of the RD phase of the universe.

In particular, we design an optimal protocol for $N\to 1$ probabilistic storage-and-retrieval of unitary channels on $d$-dimensional quantum systems. If we may access the unknown unitary gate only $N$-times, the optimal success probability of perfect retrieval of its single use is $N/(N-1+d^2)$. The derived size of the memory system exponentially improves the known upper bound on the size of the program register needed for probabilistic programmable quantum processors. Our results are closely related to probabilistic perfect alignment of reference frames and probabilistic port-based teleportation.

Contagion Exposure and Protection Technology

description: People adopt diverse measures to protect from contagion. I propose a taxonomy of protection technologies, and present a model to study the implications of the technology on the prevalence of infections and on welfare at different levels of exposure. I find that the effect of aggregate exposure on prevalence and on protection ineficiencies depends crucially on the characteristics of the available protection technology.For example, under certain conditions the existence of a vaccine will lead to lower infection rates and smaller welfare costs of decentralization as the society becomes denser. I discuss the implications for disease eradication, the equilibrium consequences of antigenic drift, the desirability of interventions in the absence of universal vaccines, and coordination failures in protection.

Aggregate Fluctuations

description: Do large firm dynamics drive the business cycle? We answer this question by developing a quantitative theory of aggregate fluctuations caused by firm-level disturbances alone. We show that a standard heterogeneous firm dynamics setup already contains in it a theory of the business cycle, without appealing to aggregate shocks. We offer a complete analytical characterization of the law of motion of the aggregate state in this class of models – the firm size distribution – and show that the resulting closed form solutions for aggregate output and productivity dynamics display: (i) persistence, (ii) volatility and (iii) time-varying second moments. We explore the key role of moments of the firm size distribution – and, in particular, the role of large firm dynamics – in shaping aggregate fluctuations, theoretically, quantitatively and in the data.

description: We analyze the anisotropic Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation in general substrate dimensions $d'$ with spatially correlated noise, $\langle\tilde η({\bf{k}},ω)\rangle=0$ and $\langle\tilde η({\bf{k}},ω) \tilde η({\bf{k}}',ω')\rangle$ $=2D(k)δ^{d'}({\bf{k}}+{\bf{k}}')δ(ω+ω')$ where $D(k)=D_0+D_ρk^{-2ρ}$, using the dynamic renormalization group (RG) method. When the signs of the nonlinear terms in parallel and perpendicular directions are opposite, a novel finite stable fixed point is found for $d'< d'_c \equiv 2+2ρ$ within one-loop order. The roughening exponent $α$ and the dynamic exponent $z$ associated with the stable fixed point are determined as $α={2 \over 3}\big(ρ-{{d'-2}\over 2}\big)$, and $z=2-α$. For $d' > d'_c$, the RG transformations flow to the fixed point of the weak-coupling limit, so that the dynamic exponent becomes $z=2$.

description: This thesis explores the various factors that impact Black women students’ career planning in PWIs and the ways these factors continue to impact Black women’s post-college career planning. To answer the questions that guide this research, I conducted 17 semi-structured, in-depth virtual interviews with Black alumni of a small private PWI between 2008 and 2018. All participants identified as Black or African-American and identified as a woman at the time they were students. The analysis showed that socio-economic status, academic experiences, career centers and resources and mentorship significantly shaped participants’ career planning as students and that these factors were informed by the gendered-racial climate of the PWI. Black women students’ experiences with gendered-racial discrimination continued to impact their career planning as alumni by helping them build unique skills, develop clear career goals and build expertise in navigating white spaces. This study emphasizes the importance of developing and maintaining an anti-racist and anti-oppression campus climate in order to better the short-term and long-term career planning of Black women students and other marginalized student populations. Further, this study provides several recommendations for PWIs and higher education institutions, career centers, faculty and staff members, and future research that can be used to deepen understanding of the lived experiences of Black women students in PWIs and to develop initiatives, policies and practices aimed to enhance career readiness and planning for Black women PWI students.

description: Many Program Verification and Synthesis problems of interest can be modeled directly using Horn clauses and many recent advances in the CLP and CAV communities have centered around efficiently solving problems presented as Horn clauses. The HCVS series of workshops aims to bring together researchers working in the two communities of Constraint/Logic Programming (e.g., ICLP and CP), Program Verification (e.g., CAV, TACAS, and VMCAI), and Automated Deduction (e.g., CADE, IJCAR), on the topic of Horn clause based analysis, verification, and synthesis. Horn clauses for verification and synthesis have been advocated by these communities in different times and from different perspectives and HCVS is organized to stimulate interaction and a fruitful exchange and integration of experiences.
Discrimination, Social Identity, and Coordination: An Experiment

description: This paper presents an experiment investigating the effect of social identity on hiring decisions. The question is whether people discriminate between own and other group candidates. Key features of the experimentare: First, to consider whether they do so in individual, as well as in joint decisions; Second, to document whether the identity of the co-decisionmaker matters in joint decisions. Substantial discrimination occurs in both individual and joint decision-making situations. In joint decisions,decision makers discriminate when deciding with someone from their own group, but not when deciding with someone from the other group.

description: Using a QCD relativistic potential model, previously applied to the calculation of the heavy meson leptonic constants, we evaluate the form factors governing the exclusive decays $B\toρ\ellν$, $B\to K^*γ$ and $B\to K^*\ell^+\ell^-$. In our approach the heavy meson is described as a $Q\bar q$ bound state, whose wave function is solution of the relativistic Salpeter equation, with an instantaneous potential displaying Coulombic behaviour at small distances and linear behaviour at large distances. The light vector meson is described by using a vector current interpolating field, according to the Vector Meson Dominance assumption. A Pauli-Villars regularized propagator is assumed for the quarks not constituting the heavy meson. Our procedure allows to avoid the description of the light meson in terms of wave function and constituent quarks, and consequently the problem of boosting the light meson wave function. Assuming as an input the experimental results on $B\to K^*γ$, we evaluate all the form factors describing the $B\to ρ, K^*$ semileptonic and rare transitions. The overall comparison with the data, whenever available, is satisfactory.

Realization of Hofstadter's butterfly and a one-way edge mode in a polaritonic system

description: We present a scheme to generate an artificial gauge field for the system of neutral bosons, represented by polaritons in micropillars arranged into a square lattice. The splitting between the two polarizations of the micropillars breaks the time-reversal symmetry (TRS) and results in the effective phase-dependent hopping between cavities. This can allow for engineering a nonzero flux on the plaquette, corresponding to an artificial magnetic field. Changing the phase, we observe a characteristic Hofstadter's butterfly pattern and the appearance of chiral edge states for a finite-size structure. For long-lived polaritons, we show that the propagation of wave packets at the edge is robust against disorder. Moreover, given the inherent driven-dissipative nature of polariton lattices, we find that the system can exhibit topological lasing, recently discovered for active ring cavity arrays. The results point to a static way to realize artificial magnetic field in neutral spinful systems, avoiding the periodic modulation of the parameters or strong spin-orbit interaction. Ultimately, the described system can allow for high-power topological single-mode lasing which is robust to imperfections.
