description: This study develops and tests a model linking business failure with entrepreneurial intention. The first essay develops a construct called failure intensity, which is used to measure the severity of business failure. The second essay investigates how failure intensity influences entrepreneurial intention through the attitude toward venturing and entrepreneurial self-efficacy. The third essay expands the second paper’s model by exploring the individual and situational moderators that may influence the link between failure intensity and entrepreneurial intentions.

description: The study of nationalism throughout the 19th and 20th century is an important topic that many historians see as the prologue to both World War I, World War II, and the end of the Cold War. However, despite the amount of research done on nationalism, this paper will look into what methods modern leaders use to bring forth this sense of nationalism. A rewarding line of research to pursue is how leaders look towards the past and expose the strength and resilience that their ancestors had when fighting for their independence. The reason this is important is that it helps us understand how history is powerful enough to galvanize and unite a nation during tough times and how fascist and authoritarian governments use these tactics to gain power. In order to do so, I use 5 case studies to analyze how leaders exploit national legends. By doing so, I was able to identify certain themes such as national identity, nationalism, imperialism, and the alteration of ancient figures. These themes will help us understand how leaders and nations used ancient figures for their own political propaganda so that we can prevent the rise of fascists and authoritarian governments in the future.
Subsystem density functional theory for molecules and solids

Year: 2018

description: The Kohn–Sham formulation of density functional theory (KS-DFT) is the most widely employed electronic structure method in the fields of chemistry, physics, and materials science. This is largely due to the fact that KS-DFT produces models of remarkable accuracy and predictive capability with a relatively low computational cost that scales as $O(N^3)$ with respect to the size of system.  As researchers strive to simulate larger and more realistic systems, even the convenient scaling of KS-DFT becomes a bottleneck.  Subsystem DFT is a popular emph{divide and conquer} formulation of DFT, where the system is divided into a set of weakly coupled fragments, that is naturally suited for a massively parallel implementations, and has a computational cost that scales linearly with the system size.  In this dissertation an extension of subsystem DFT for periodic systems is derived, and a flexible, high performing, massively parallel implementation of the theory is included in a new open-source simulation package: embedded Quantum Espresso (eQE).  The applicability of the method is then assessed in several applications, spanning from the interaction between molecules and surfaces, to molecular dynamics of liquids.

description: Our current understanding is that an environment - mainly consisting of gas or stars - is required to bring massive black hole binaries (MBHBs) with total redshifted mass $M_z\sim[10^{4},10^7]~{\rm M}_\odot$ to the LISA band from parsec separation. Even in the gravitational wave (GW) dominated final inspiral, realistic environments can non-negligibly speed up or slow down the binary evolution, or leave residual, measurable eccentricity in the LISA band. Despite this fact, most of the literature does not consider environmental effects or orbital eccentricity in modelling GWs from near-equal mass MBHBs. Considering either a circular MBHB embedded in a circumbinary disc or a vacuum eccentric binary, we explore if ignoring either secular gas effects (migration and accretion) or eccentric corrections to the GW waveform can mimic a failure of General Relativity (GR). We use inspiral-only aligned-spin 3.5 post-Newtonian waveforms, a complete LISA response model, and Bayesian inference to perform a parameterized test of GR. For a four-year LISA observation of an MBHB with $M_z=10^{5}~{\rm M}_\odot$, primary-to-secondary mass ratio $q=8$, and component BHs' dimensionless spins $χ_{1,2}=0.9$ at redshift $z=1$, even a moderate gas-disc imprint (Eddington ratio ${\rm f}_{\rm Edd}\sim0.1$) or low initial eccentricity ($e_0\sim10^{-2.5}$) causes a false violation of GR in several PN orders. However, correctly modelling either effect can mitigate systematics while avoiding significant biases in vacuum circular systems. The adoption of LISA makes it urgent to consider gas imprints and eccentricity in waveform models to ensure accurate inference for MBHBs.

Generation dependent ultrafast charge separation and recombination in pyrene-viologen systems
Creators: name: Gong, Zheng
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2018

description: The ability of a dendritic network to intercept electrons and extend the lifetime of a short-lived photoinduced charge separated (CS) state was investigated in a homologous family of a pyrene-methylene-viologen dendron family in which the number of viologen subunits grows exponentially from P−C1−G0 to P−C1−G3. The CS state in the parent diad P−C1−G0 with a single acceptor exhibits an extremely short lifetime of τ=0.72 ps. The expansion of the viologen network introduces slower components to the recombination kinetics by allowing the injected electron to migrate further away from the donor. As a result, the fraction of long-lived population increases with 10-fold or greater lifetime extension in the order of P−C1−G3 > P−C1−G2 > P−C1−G1 > P−C1−G0, which can be interpreted in terms of the electron hopping between two viologen sites and long-range electron tunneling across multiple viologen units. Furthermore, the influences of donor-acceptor separation, connectivity, and solvent on electron transfer rates were studied applying different pyrene-viologen donor-acceptor systems.   In addition, the vibrational cooling of hot ground state methyl viologen radical cation (MV+•) was studied using femtosecond pump-probe spectroscopy. The photoexcitation of the D1←D0 transition led to very rapid internal conversion within 460 fs, generating a vibrationally excited ground state of MV+• which thermalized on 1.6~16 ps timescale. The initial stage of vibrational excess energy loss corresponds to the intermolecular energy transfer to vibrational modes of the surrounding medium molecules, and the latter stage involves energy dissipation into relatively low-frequency librational and translational modes of the solvent. The effect of solvent and host-guest complexation on cooling dynamics of MV+• was also investigated, and the results suggested that a good match between the density of vibrational states in MV+• and surrounding medium could efficiently accelerate the vibrational cooling.

description: On October 22-29, 2012, Hurricane/Post-Tropical Cyclone Sandy moved from the Caribbean to the U.S. Eastern Seaboard, ultimately making landfall near Brigantine, NJ, around 7:30 p.m.on October 29. The storm resulted in an enormous impact to life and property in both theCaribbean and continental United States. The National Hurricane Center’s Tropical Cyclone Report estimated the death count from Hurricane Sandy at 147 direct deaths. Sandy damaged or destroyed at least 650,000 houses and left approximately 8.5 million customers without power during the storm and its aftermath. The effects of Sandy extended as far west as Wisconsin. This late season storm also generated blizzard conditions in western North Carolina and West Virginia, resulting in snowfall totals as high as 3 feet. Storm surge created some of the most devastating impacts, including flooding in New York City’s subway tunnels, water overtopping runways at La Guardia (Figure 1) and Kennedy airports, and damage to the New Jersey Transit System estimated at approximately $400 million.In light of the Sandy’s significance, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) formed a Service Assessment Team to document and evaluate the agency’s performance and effectiveness. The Team focused on three key points: first, the National Weather Service’s forecast, watch, and warning products, including its underlying philosophies and policies and its dissemination/communication tools. Second, the Team reviewed the NWS web presence as a tool for communicating with the public. Finally, the Team looked at NWS’s production and issuance of storm-surge related products.NOAA will use the findings and recommendations in this assessment to increase awareness of critical needs during future extreme weather events and improve products and services to further protect life and property. Given the relationship of this assessment to the agency’s broader portfolio, NOAA will also improve integration and collaboration across mission lines to ensure ongoing responsiveness to partner needs in light of Sandy’s impacts.

description: Limothrips Haliday
This is a European genus that includes eight species, although two of these are of doubtful validity. A key to the six species that can be recognised is provided by zur Strassen (2003), and three of these are recorded from southern Australia. The biology of these thrips is unusual amongst grass-living Thripidae, in that Limothrips species apparently feed both on the leaves and in the florets of grasses. Lewis (1959) indicated that L. cerealium oviposits in leaf sheaths, and feeds on very young leaves, and Rao et al. (2010) stated that adults and larvae of this species move to the florets and feed on the developing embryo. However, there is no evidence that these thrips feed on grass pollen. Damage by L. cerealium to the developing seeds of wheat and barley can make these unsuitable for brewing beer. Known as thunderflies in northern Europe, the large numbers of adults that appear in summer storms (Kirk, 2004) can cause problems by entering and triggering smoke detectors in buildings (Lewis, 1997). Two other Limothrips species occur in southern Australia, but these are less common than cerealium. They are readily distinguished, because in L. angulicornis the second antennal segment has the apical external margin prolonged into tooth, whereas in L. denticornis it is the third segment that is thus prolonged. Although all three of these species feed and breed on the leaves and in the florets of grasses and cereals, in Australia they have been found only on introduced species of Poaceae.

description: From June 21 to 24, 2013, a NOAA team from the Office of Coast Survey and the Office of National Marine Sanctuaries conducted a joint mission to characterize a shipwreck off the coast of New Jersey near Absecon Inlet and Atlantic City. While known to and regularly visited by recreational SCUBA divers, the shipwreck was brought to NOAA’s attention by archaeologist Joyce Steinmetz, who hypothesized that it was the remains of the U. S. Coast Survey Steamer Robert J. Walker. However, the shipwreck had not undergone any archaeological assessment to provide evidence to either affirm or refute this identification. During the June 2013 fieldwork, hydrographers on the NOAA Ship Thomas Jefferson surveyed the site and its surroundings with high-resolution multibeam and side-scan sonar. This work was followed by a close order side scan sonar survey and archaeological SCUBA dives conducted from the NOAA R/V SRVx that acoustically and visually characterized the shipwreck and its debris field. The data gathered by the project confirmed that the shipwreck was U.S.C.S.S. Robert J. Walker, lost off Absecon Inlet on June 21, 1860.

Psychological Aspects of Pragmatics of Negation
Creators: name: Mingardi, Pietro
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Trento
Year: 2022

description: The topic of this thesis is the comprehension of negative sentences. In the literature there is a number of evidence suggesting that negation is not integrated immediately into the comprehension process, but only after dealing with the affirmative counterpart meaning of the sentence (e.g. Clark & Chase, 1972; Fischler, 1983; Hasson and Glucksberg, 2006; Kaup, Yaxley, Madden, Zwaan & Luedtke, 2007). Other evidence, however, suggests that if interpreted within pragmatic felicitous contexts, the actual meaning of the negation can be immediately accessed (Nieuwland and Kuperberg, 2008; Dale & Duran, 2011; Tian, Breheny and Ferguson, 2010, 2016; Arroyo, 1982). To date, it is still unclear which exactly are the pragmatic factors that allow to access immediately the actual meaning of the negation. The objective of this thesis is to try to identify some of these possible pragmatic factors. In six different experiments, using different experimental paradigms (sentence-picture verification task, probe-recognition task, self-paced reading task) we investigated four different pragmatic factors: 1) the use of the negation to describe a minority (Wason, 1965); 2) the use of the negation to describe something that non-exists (Nordmeyer and Frank, 2015); 3) the fact that a negative sentence answers to a negative Question Under Discussion (Tian, Breheny and Ferguson, 2010); 4) the use of the negation to describe something exceptional (Arroyo, 1982). For no one of these four factors we have found clear evidence that these are key pragmatic factors that allow to access immediately the actual meaning of the negation. At the opposite, our results seem to suggest that only in really specific situations the actual meaning of the negation can be immediately accessed, in particular when pragmatic and lexical predictability factors come into play together.

description: Monthly suspended sediment discharge measurements, made by the USGS as part of the National Stream Quality Accounting Network (NASQAN), are analysed to assess the adequacy in terms of spatial coverage, temporal sampling frequency, accuracy of measurements, as well as in determining the sediment yield in the nation's rivers.

It is concluded that the spatial distribution of NASQAN stations is reasonable but necessarily judgemental. The temporal variations of sediment data contain much higher frequencies than monthly. Sampling error is found to be minor when compared with other causes of data scatter which can be substantial. The usefulness of the monthly measurements of sediment transport is enhanced when combined with the daily measurements of water discharge. Increasing the sampling frequency moderately would not materially improve the accuracy of sediment yield determinations.

Total maximum daily loads (TMDLS) for copper, mercury, nickel and lead in NY-NJ harbor

Year: 1994

description: In June 1990, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approved the listing of New YorkNew Jersey Harbor, by the States of New York and New Jersey, under Section 304(1)(1)(8) ("the short list") of the Clean Water Act. As a result of this listing, the States of New York and New Jersey and EPA agreed to cooperatively develop the Individual Control Strategies (ICSs) for dischargers of copper and mercury to the Harbor waters. Effluent limits included in ICSs must be consistent with waste load allocations (WLAs) and 'Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) established for the waterbody. In order to develop a unified TMDL approach for these interstate waters, a TMDL Workgroup was formed under the auspices of the New York-New Jersey Harbor Estuary (HEP) Program. The Workgroup consisted-of the States of New York and New Jersey, citizens representatives, municipal dischargers, and other members of the various HEP workgroups. The tasks of the Workgroup were to: review currently enforceable water quality standards, choose an applicable set of numeric standards to be applied Harbor-wide, develop a uniform TMDLjWLA approach, and implement water quality-based effluent limits, where necessary, in a uniform manner.In addition to the original 304(1) listed metals of mercury and copper, the Workgroup, after review of all available Harbor specific metals data, identified six additional metals of concern: arsenic, silver, lead, cadmium, nickel and zinc. In 1991 and 1992 ambient and source data were collected and analyzed using trace metal clean techniques. Sampling stations were located throughout the Harbor complex and included both New York and New Jersey tributaries. The results of these surveys Indicated significantly lower metal concentrations as compared to historical data. The differences were attributed, in large part, to sample contamination and differing laboratory procedures used in collecting the historical data. For additional information regarding data collected during the Harbor monitoring surveys, refer to references 1-5. The monitoring studies for the Harbor were funded by EPA an~ the New York City Department of Environmental Protection.Data collected during these surveys indicated that of the eight metals identified by the Workgroup, only four metals exceeded or potentially exceeded ambient water quality criteria: copper, mercury, nickel and lead. Since these four metals are water quality-limiting, TMDLs are required.

description: We introduce the pCI software package for high-precision atomic structure calculations. The standard method of calculation is based on the configuration interaction (CI) method to describe valence correlations, but can be extended to attain better accuracy by including core correlations via many-body perturbation theory (CI+MBPT) or the all-order (CI+all-order) method, as well as QED corrections via QEDMOD. The software package enables calculations of atomic properties, including energy levels, g-factors, hyperfine structure constants, multipole transition matrix elements, polarizabilities, and isotope shifts. It also features modern high-performance computing paradigms, including dynamic memory allocations and large-scale parallelization via the message-passing interface, to optimize and accelerate computations.

description: Advancements in artificial intelligence and machine learning have significantly improved synthetic speech generation. This paper explores diffusion models, a novel method for creating realistic synthetic speech. We create a diffusion dataset using available tools and pretrained models. Additionally, this study assesses the quality of diffusion-generated deepfakes versus non-diffusion ones and their potential threat to current deepfake detection systems. Findings indicate that the detection of diffusion-based deepfakes is generally comparable to non-diffusion deepfakes, with some variability based on detector architecture. Re-vocoding with diffusion vocoders shows minimal impact, and the overall speech quality is comparable to non-diffusion methods.

Upper township "Getting to Resilience" recommendations report
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2015

description: The Getting to Resilience (GTR) questionnaire was originally developed and piloted by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection's Office of Coastal Management in an effort to foster municipal resiliency in the face of flooding, coastal storms, and sea level rise. The questionnaire was designed to be used by municipalities to reduce vulnerability and increase preparedness by linking planning, mitigation, and adaptation. Originally developed by the State of New Jersey's Coastal Management Program, the Getting to Resilience process was later adapted by the Coastal Training Program of the Jacques Cousteau National Estuarine Research Reserve (JC NERR), converted into a digital format, and placed on an interactive website. Further improving the questionnaire, the JC NERR added linkages to evaluation questions including the National Flood Insurance Program's (NFIP) Community Rating System (CRS), Hazard Mitigation Planning, and Sustainable Jersey. While this website is publicly available, through the facilitated Getting to Resilience process, JC NERR Community Resilience Specialists enhance the outcomes of the evaluation by providing community-specific recommendations, guided discussions with municipal representatives, a vulnerability analysis, and municipal plan reviews.

New Jersey Beach Profile Network 2013 Annual Report on shoreline changes in New Jersey's four coastal counties - Raritan Bay to Delaware Bay - Spring of 2012 through Fall of 2013
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2014

description: The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) authorized the New Jersey Beach Profile Network (NJBPN) project in 1986. The report is divided into four coastal county segments and provides a summary of beach changes for each county. Last year’s report focused on the magnitude of Hurricane Sandy’s impacts on the Jersey coast. After 18 months of all-out recovery efforts, this year the Coastal Research Center (CRC) will examine where, how and how well the recovery effort faired in returning the shoreline to pre-Sandy conditions. The US Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) undertook the restoration to design specifications all federally authorized, and constructed shore protection projects in the State. Funding under Public Law 113-2 allowed 100% federal payment to do restoration of existing projects. Both the New York District (Monmouth County) and the Philadelphia District (Ocean, Atlantic, Cape May Counties, and the tidal Delaware Bay/River shoreline) executed contracts for sand nourishment and structural repairs to existing work from the Hudson River, through Rarity Bay, down the Atlantic coastline and into Delaware Bay. Previous survey data has been compared to situations existing just after Sandy, 6-, and 12- months after the event. Seasonal changes are included, but largely in table form in the appendix. The individual site cross sections show four surveys, starting with April 2012 and ending with the fall of 2013. The direct impact of Hurricane Sandy was published on the Coastal Research Center (CRC) website as soon as it was completion December 2012. This report attempts to show where intervention produced dramatic recovery results in contrast with other locations where natural recovery has had some influence.
Monmouth County - Raritan Bay and Sandy Hook to Manasquan Inlet - NJBPN Profile #'s 187-256
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2014

description: The NJBPN shoreline monitoring sites in Monmouth County extend from three sites along the eastem beaches of the Raritan Bay to the oceanfront shoreline of Sandy Hook, then south to Manasquan Inlet. Profile sites are located in: Cliffwood Beach in Aberdeen Township, the Borough of Union Beach, Port Monmouth in Middletown Township, Gateway National Seashore, the Borough of Sea Bright, the Borough of Monmouth Beach, the City of Long Branch, the Borough of Deal, the Borough of Allenhurst, the City of Asbury Park, Ocean Grove in Neptune Township, the Borough of Bradley Beach, the Borough of Avon-by-the-Sea, the Borough of Belmar, the Borough of Spring Lake, the Borough of Sea Girt and the Borough of Manasquan. Monmouth County has the greatest number of beach profile sites due to the complexity of its shoreline. A combination of man-made structures, the natural variety of beach widths and distinct erosional and/or accretional areas made careful site selection a necessity. Several sites have been moved slightly as new development on the profile line created problems. The Union Beach site was moved from the original site because the shoreline was completely armored with rock. The new location is in the middle of a State-owned public beach about a quarter-mile away. Site #172 was reestablished north of Lake Tackanassee in southern Long Branch to track sand movement to the south derived from the ACOE project.

description: We propose a new predictive theory for the analysis of common envelope (CE) events which incorporates the effects of relevant hydrodynamical processes into a simple analytical framework. We introduce the ejection and dynamical parameters $ξ$ and $β$, which define if envelope ejection is energetically or hydrodynamically favorable, respectively, during CE inspiral. When combined, these parameters offer a detailed narrative of how inspiral begins, proceeds, and ends that is consistent with preliminary comparisons to 3D hydrodynamical models. This physically-motivated framework impacts predictions for CE outcomes, especially for systems that have energy excess, and offers promise as a potential alternative for the treatment of CE in binary population synthesis.

Female macroptera. Body and legs mainly yellow; fore femora external margin weakly shaded; abdominal segment X and posterior half of IX dark brown; antennal segments I–IV yellow, V light brown, VI–VIII brown; fore wing including clavus weakly shaded in basal half with apex pale. Similar to M. masamii and M. melinus in body structure and chaetotaxy, pronotal posteroangular setae shorter (Fig. 53); tergite IX shorter than X, with median dorsal setae extending well beyond posterior margin of tergite, stouter than posterior median setae and slightly shorter (Fig. 55). Sternite II with about 0–3 discal setae and 2 pairs of marginal setae; III–VII with irregular row of about 3–10 discal setae.
Measurements (holotype female in microns). Body length 1260. Head length 100; width across eyes 110; ocellar setae III 7. Pronotum, length 120; maximum width 130; pa inner setae 15; pa outer setae 30. Fore wing length 520. Metanotal median setae 10. Tergite IX length 80; median dorsal setae 60; setae S1 70; S2 85. Tergite X length 90; setae S1 70. Antennal segments III–VIII length 30, 23, 23, 30, 7, 10.
Material studied. Holotype female, Western Australia, Geikie Gorge, near Fitzroy Crossing, from hard leaves of Triodia sp., 27.ii.2005 (LAM 4624).
Paratypes: 5 females taken with holotype.
Comments. Four males were taken with the females listed above, but at present it is not possible to distinguish the males of this species from those of M. masamii with which they were also collected. This species is closely related to M. melinus and M. williei, but is distinguished by the colour of the antennae and tergite IX, as well as the shorter pronotal setae. In the holotype, one of the metanotal median setae is displaced and arises far behind the anterior margin.
