Assessing the Impact of Intergovernmental Organizations and Structural Effects in the International Trade Network
Creators: name: Pan, Zhengqi
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2013

description: Existing research on the determinants of international trade tends to examine the impact of aggregate joint IGO memberships, and has done little to separate IGOs into various function types. Using a new IGO dataset and a novel network analysis approach called the temporal exponential random graph model (TERGM), I assess the importance of three main IGO types -- economic, social and general purpose -- in helping states to establish major trading relations. The results provide support for the importance of general purpose IGOs in forging strong bilateral trade, and also draw attention to endogenous network structures such as popularity and triadic closure effects. A robustness test further reveals that PTAs and other economic IGOs such as regional banks are also instrumental in fostering major trading relations. This thesis presents a more nuanced way of analyzing IGOs and provides the impetus for the study of network effects in international trade.

description: We present domain decomposition finite element/finite difference method for the solution of hyperbolic equation. The domain decomposition is performed such that finite elements and finite differences are used in different subdomains of the computational domain: finite difference method is used on the structured part of the computational domain and finite elements on the unstructured part of the domain. The main goal of this method is to combine flexibility of finite element method and efficiency of a finite difference method. An explicit discretization schemes for both methods are constructed such that finite element and finite difference schemes coincide on the common structured overlapping layer between computational subdomains. Then the resulting scheme can be considered as a pure finite element scheme which allows avoid instabilities at the interfaces. We illustrate efficiency of the domain decomposition method on the reconstruction of the conductivity function in the hyperbolic equation in three dimensions.

description: We report characterization results for an engineering prototype of a next-generation low-frequency radio astronomy array. This prototype, which we refer to as the Aperture Array Verification System 0.5 (AAVS0.5), is a sparse pseudo-random array of 16 log-periodic antennas designed for 70-450 MHz. It is co-located with the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) at the Murchison Radioastronomy Observatory (MRO) near the Australian Square Kilometre Array (SKA) core site. We characterize the AAVS0.5 using two methods: in-situ radio interferometry with astronomical sources and an engineering approach based on detailed full-wave simulation. In-situ measurement of the small prototype array is challenging due to the dominance of the Galactic noise and the relatively weaker calibration sources easily accessible in the southern sky. The MWA, with its 128 "tiles" and up to 3 km baselines, enabled in-situ measurement via radio interferometry. We present array sensitivity and beam pattern characterization results and compare to detailed full-wave simulation. We discuss areas where differences between the two methods exist and offer possibilities for improvement. Our work demonstrates the value of the dual astronomy-simulation approach in upcoming SKA design work.

Earning Capacity of Sustainable Education

Year: 2018

description: There is a growing need to understand the economic returns of degrees as a function of a sustainable institution. The empirical data presented in this paper suggests that there is a difference between the economic perception of higher education stakeholders and reality. The data showed that the most important economic metric for a graduate is full-time employment. This metric, although important, is incomplete and does not address other important factors such as starting salaries and under-employment. This indicates a gap between reality and perception considering stakeholders expectation that education should not cost more than of 15% of future salaries and that the debt be repaid in less than ten years. Student’s focusing on full-time employment rather than the holistic economic realities of their educational choices may lead to an unsustainable future which is currently not captured in higher education sustainability assessments.

description: Higher education institutions play an important role in sustainability, in their own management and operation, in research and education, and in the undergraduate and graduate degrees they deliver. Often ignored, economic sustainability and future perspectives of students are important indicators too. The research presented in this paper validates that a student’s post-graduation economic performance should be part of a higher education institution’s metric for sustainability. The data collected in this research, as well as in other research, shows that almost 90% of respondents agree that economic metrics should be considered part of a higher education institutions level of sustainability. While there is no doubt about the economic gains of higher education, the results indicate that students utilizing a manageable 8% repayment of economic debt would be in debt for decades after graduation, further supporting the need for institutions to inform their stakeholders before such a life changing commitment.

description: In this paper, we price American-style Parisian down-and-in call options under the Black-Scholes framework. Usually, pricing an American-style option is much more difficult than pricing its European-style counterpart because of the appearance of the optimal exercise boundary in the former. Fortunately, the optimal exercise boundary associated with an American-style Parisian knock-in option only appears implicitly in its pricing partial differential equation (PDE) systems, instead of explicitly as in the case of an American-style Parisian knock-out option. We also recognize that the "moving window" technique developed for pricing European-style Parisian up-and-out options can be adopted to price American-style Parisian knock-in options as well. In particular, we obtain a simple analytical solution for American-style Parisian down-and-in call options and our new formula is written in terms of four double integrals, which can be easily computed numerically.

description: The progress of sustainability within higher education has steadily increased in focus over the last decade and has increasingly become a topic of academic research. As institutions investigate, implement and market sustainability efforts, there is a myriadof sustainability assessment methodologies currently available. This assortment of standards being used by institutions do not help students and faculty assess the level of sustainability uniformly between institutions. A universal framework was proposed for facilitate stakeholder’s review of comparing sustainability assessments in higher education. This research reviews the creation of the framework and results from testing in an online environment. The lack of data collected during the testing phase provides some anecdotal evidence regarding what stakeholder consider important in terms of sustainability within higher education and may also indicate that there is no need for a universal sustainability assessment in higher education to be used directly by stakeholder.

Corruption on the Ropes?: The Effectiveness of EU Leverage in Fighting Corruption in Central and Eastern Europe
Creators: name: Derderyan, Svetoslav
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2010

description: The implementation of the 31 chapters of the aquis communitaire has been credited with the overall alignment of the Central and Eastern European (CEE) post-communist candidates' systems of governance with Western European standards. During the accession period CEE countries had huge incentives to comply with EU institutions. However, these incentives decreased once membership was attained and the EU's leverage correspondingly diminished. This study finds convincing evidence that this was not the case with corruption. Although not including corruption either in the acquis or of the Copenhagen criteria, the EU was able to demand reforms that served to curb corruption levels during the both the candidacy period and after membership. The relative loss of leverage after accession was compensated by continued leverage in terms of conditional EU funds, increased linkages and socializations effects, and spillover effects from the removal of the state from the economy and improvements in the legal systems.

description: Maxwell's Demon, 'a being whose faculties are so sharpened that he can follow every molecule in its course', has been the centre of much debate about its abilities to violate the second law of thermodynamics. Landauer's hypothesis, that the Demon must erase its memory and incur a thermodynamic cost, has become the standard response to Maxwell's dilemma, and its implications for the thermodynamics of computation reach into many areas of quantum and classical computing. It remains, however, still a hypothesis. Debate has often centred around simple toy models of a single particle in a box. Despite their simplicity, the ability of these systems to accurately represent thermodynamics (specifically to satisfy the second law) and whether or not they display Landauer Erasure, has been a matter of ongoing argument. The recent Norton-Ladyman controversy is one such example. In this paper we introduce a programming language to describe these simple thermodynamic processes, and give a formal operational semantics and program logic as a basis for formal reasoning about thermodynamic systems. We formalise the basic single-particle operations as statements in the language, and then show that the second law must be satisfied by any composition of these basic operations. This is done by finding a computational invariant of the system. We show, furthermore, that this invariant requires an erasure cost to exist within the system, equal to kTln2 for a bit of information: Landauer Erasure becomes a theorem of the formal system. The Norton-Ladyman controversy can therefore be resolved in a rigorous fashion, and moreover the formalism we introduce gives a set of reasoning tools for further analysis of Landauer erasure, which are provably consistent with the second law of thermodynamics.

Lowering the Refugee Death Toll: An extent to which the EU failed in the EU Turkey Joint Action Plan
Creators: name: Gaillard, Lauren
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: In this research I aim to unravel to what extent the EU has failed under the EU Turkey Agreement (JAP) to rightly lower the refugee death toll. I examine how the EU acts in its own self-interest, noting that saving the lives of refugees legally and illegally crossing its borders from the Eastern Mediterranean route is a contested moral, individual and institutional issue. There is an abstract and normative political responsibility the EU must uphold as an institution. Under Neo-institutionalism and the normative aims of R2P and the 1951 Geneva Convention I conclude that the EU in the EU Turkey deal superficially upholds its responsibility to lower the refugee death toll by fulfilling its duties under this policy for its political advantage. The failure is that the EU circumvents fixing the root causes of the issue by rerouting and increasing the death toll of refugees to the Central Mediterranean route.
Strategies for (re)creating Questionnaires in DDI-Lifecycle
Creators: name: Mills, Hayley

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: Implementing questionnaires in DDI-Lifecycle data collection provides a rich source of metadata that can enhance the understanding of data for researchers, discovery and data and survey management, more so where data is widely reused. Ideally one would capture the metadata for questionnaires as they are produced, however, for logistical, organisational and resource reasons, this is currently not widespread. If we are to be able to provide this layer of rich metadata, finding ways to quickly and efficiently capture the questionnaires and link that to both the data and previously asked questions is crucial. The presentation will discuss approaches that CLOSER has employed to lower the barriers for studies to provide high quality questionnaire metadata in DDI-Lifecycle for CLOSER Discovery, and for internal data management purposes at the studies themselves.

Identifying biomarkers of response to modified FOLFIRINOX regimens using patient derived xenograft mouse models of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma
Creators: name: Eldridge, Meagan

Subjects: Pharmacology

description: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a lethal disease with limited effective therapies. FOLFIRINOX is a chemotherapeutic regimen for patients with metastatic disease that provides an unprecedented median overall survival of 11.1 months. However, significant toxicities necessitate dose reductions and limit the number of patients eligible for FOLFIRINOX treatment. I used patient derived xenograft (PDX) mouse models of PDAC to assess efficacy of modified regimens and determine if intra-tumoral heterogeneity plays a role in response. I also used RNA sequencing of PDX tumors to identify potential biomarkers of response. No significant differences in response to standard and modified FOLFIRINOX regimens were observed; however, intra-tumoral heterogeneity affected responses of one PDX tumor line to modified regimens. Biomarkers associated with differential responses could not be identified by RNA sequencing. RNA sequencing data confirmed previously identified PDAC subtypes, classical and basal-like.
The shoot: wrestling's reality on the independent scene

description: Over the last ten years, professional wrestling has become more corporate and monopolized. World Wrestling Entertainment is the only major promotion with a few promotions, such as Total Nonstop Action, trying to compete. As a result, those major promotions have changed who they target from traditional wrestling fans to the mainstream population at large. Wrestling purists scoff at the programming they see those promotions produce on television. The alternative for the old-school, dedicated wrestling fan is the independent circuit. The three articles that follow work to illustrate the lives lived, the dreams fulfilled and the hopes broken on wrestling's indy scene. The first article serves as an overview by featuring both wrestlers and fans in a gimmick-based promotion in Raleigh, North Carolina. The second article profiles a wrestling promoter and discusses the financial burdens one undertakes to run a promotion full-time. The final article describes the role wrestling schools play in the independent world and features a former superstar who has turned teacher. These three articles show the cost one encounters when he or she holds steady to a dream.

description: We propose a notion of quantum control in a quantum programming language which permits the superposition of finitely many quantum operations without performing a measurement. This notion takes the form of a conditional construct similar to the IF statement in classical programming languages. We show that adding such a quantum IF statement to the QPL programming language simplifies the presentation of several quantum algorithms. This motivates the possibility of extending the denotational semantics of QPL to include this form of quantum alternation. We give a denotational semantics for this extension of QPL based on Kraus decompositions rather than on superoperators. Finally, we clarify the relation between quantum alternation and recursion, and discuss the possibility of lifting the semantics defined by Kraus operators to the superoperator semantics defined by Selinger.

description: The hydrophobicity, strong flavor and high volatility of essential oils impede their commercial application in foods. As such, we aimed to study the encapsulation of Oregano essential oil (OEO) in β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and lipidic dispersions as means to enhance dispersion and controlled release of EO and evaluate their effect on the survival of Listeria monocytogenes in Tryptic Soy Broth (TSB) and cheese broth. The encapsulation of OEO in β-CD was performed with the co-precipitation method, whereas for the incorporation of OEO into lipidic dispersion the thin-film hydration method was applied. Size distribution (PDI) and zeta-potential (ζ) of the formed inclusion complexes (IC) were assessed by Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS). UV-Vis spectroscopy was used for the determination of the encapsulation efficiency (EE%) and for assessing the release rate of the formed IC. The effect of ICs and free OEO at MIC, ½ MIC and 2xMIC against L. monocytogenes (3-strain cocktail: 106 CFU/ml), was determined in TSB (pH 7.0, 4.3) and cheese broth prepared from ‘katiki’ (pH 4.3) at 7oC. The complexes presented nanoscale size (<1000 nm), 127.24 ±25.83 nm with an intensity of >90% for OEO-β-CD and 106.84 ±42.81 and 948.05 ±409.95 nm with intensity of 47% and 51.9%, respectively for OEO-lipidic dispersion. The size dispersion was 0.433 ±0.064 nm for OEO-β-CD and 0.872 ± 0.070 nm for OEO-lipidic dispersion. An acceptable stability was observed (>20 mV) with ζ-potential -23.57 ±6.76 mV for OEO-β-CD and -49.5 ± 6.18 mV for lipidic dispersion. EE% was 80.3% ± 4.0 and 87.8 ± 3.7 for OEO-β-CD and OEO-lipidic dispersion, respectively. The OEO release from both complexes occurred continuously for 18 days. The dose-dependent inhibitory effect of encapsulated OEO against L. monocytogenes was higher in TSB than in cheese-broth and increased at lower pH. Lipidic dispersion was more effective than OEO-β-CD at both pH values. The antimicrobial effect of encapsulated OEO was not as rapid as the effect of free EO, confirming the slow release of EO due to encapsulation. The results are indicative for the application of encapsulated OEO to control of L. monocytogenes in foods.

Using Colectica to document socio-political surveys in DDI-Lifecycle: feedback and benefits
Creators: name: Marie, Lucie
Publisher: name: Zenodo

description: With the Open Science movement, the patterns of data sharing are evolving. In this context, the French Center for socio-political data has launched in 2020 an experimental project that aims to build a question bank using DDI-Lifecycle and Colectica - Designer, Repository and Portal. Beyond the final goal to be compliant with the CESSDA repositories standards, so that data and metadata may be harvested in the European Question Bank, this new tool is implemented for two additional purposes. On the one hand, to make data more discoverable and findable at variable level. On the other hand, to implement an internal less time-consuming documentation protocol by defining a metadata model at the variable level – a reference document for data managers to check for paradigms of organized data. This presentation outlines the main steps of the process of implementation of DDI-Lifecycle using the Colectica softwares package, including challenges met to build the question bank. More broadly, it gives feedback about the entry cost of the shift from DDI-Codebook to DDI-Lifecycle, as well as the process of enhancing metadata documentation quality, especially harmonization of items and work on granularity at the variable level.

description: Abstract
 The purpose of the research project was to develop and test predictive models that make accurate statistical predictions of the wildfire frequency and severity in the Southern California region. From 2011 to 2022, the annual acreage destruction by wildfires increased by approximately threefold. The research focused on identifying correlated variables leading to the beneficial environment for these wildfires. The data was collected from existing data sources: CalFire, U.S. Carbon Monitor, Energy Information Administration, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, U.S. Census Bureau, Federal Reserve Economic Data, and U. S. Department of Agriculture. A data mart was created to store and manipulate the data. The research confirms that explanatory variables such as weather, carbon emissions, and populations are linked to wildfires in Southern California, and the prediction models have generated results that helped accept the research hypothesis.

description: The objective of this thesis is to provide a holistic framework to aid students in reviewing sustainability tools, assessments and marketing. The framework will not replace or compete with any of the existing tools but rather provide a simple, yet robust, starting-point that students can modify based on their own needs and perceptions. The framework will be derived from a qualitative assessment of current methods and then modified based on the quantitative analysis of various surveys. The aim of this dissertation is to explore the value in creating a universal framework to aid students in reviewing sustainability tools and assessments. In order to accomplish this, one primary boundary conditions must be set to guide the research. The boundary condition is understanding the limitations of the scope of each assessment. Each tool may vary in purpose, scope, function and state of development (Shriberg, 2002). They also vary in the weighing methods, flexibility and access to information (Gómez et al. 2015). Because of this, an assessment’s scope will be considered sufficient for the assessments purpose. However, the breadth of the scope in relation to a holistic framework will be reviewed in order to aide stakeholders in understanding a more universal view.

description: Penumbral microjets are short-lived, fine-structured and bright jets that are generally observed in chromospheric imaging of the penumbra of sunspots. Here we investigate their potential transition region signature, by combining observations with the Swedish 1-m Solar Telescope (SST) in the Ca II H and Ca II 8542Å lines with ultraviolet imaging and spectroscopy obtained with the Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS), which includes the C II 1334/1335Å, Si IV 1394/1403Å and Mg II h & k 2803/2796Å lines. We find a clear corresponding signal in the IRIS Mg II k, C II and Si IV slit-jaw images, typically offset spatially from the Ca II signature in the direction along the jets: from base to top, the penumbral microjets are predominantly visible in Ca II, Mg II k and C II/Si IV, suggesting progressive heating to transition region temperatures along the jet extent. Hence, these results support the suggestion from earlier studies that penumbral microjets may heat to transition region temperatures.

Specification and generation of questionnaires – a metadata-driven approach powered by DDI
Creators: name: Perray-Gibert, Fabienne
Publisher: name: Zenodo

description: Insee has been developing during the last years a metadata-driven survey data collection process including a questionnaire generator code-named Eno. This tool operates on a formal description of the questionnaire in DDI and executes a completely automated chain of transformations to produce the actual collection instrument(s) (web and paper questionnaires). The questionnaires can be personalized and, depending on the output format, a variable amount of flow logic can be implemented. Questionnaires from 30 different business surveys have been produced by Eno, and this number will continue to increase, especially because Eno will soon support questionnaires for household surveys. Interfaced with Eno is a questionnaire design user interface, code-named Pogues, that connects with the generation process. More specifically, Pogues produces the DDI description of the questionnaire which is then submitted to an embedded instance of Eno. Using this tool, a survey manager or questionnaire designer can specify his web, paper and soon interviewer questionnaire in a friendly way and visualize the generated result in one click. Pogues and Eno are open source, internationalized, and thus can be used directly by other statistical agencies. They are currently using DDI version 3.3. Some have already shown their interest.

description: Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over a field $k$. Let $R:= \text{End}\, E$. There is a functor $\mathscr{H}\!\!\mathit{om}_R(-,E)$ from the category of finitely presented torsion-free left $R$-modules to the category of abelian varieties isogenous to a power of $E$, and a functor $\text{Hom}(-,E)$ in the opposite direction. We prove necessary and sufficient conditions on $E$ for these functors to be equivalences of categories.

description: The progress of sustainability within higher education has steadily increased in focus over the last decade and has increasingly become a topic of academic research. With various scholars, journals and conferences exclusively dealing with the subject, a wealth of literature has been produced on best practices, suggestions, and assessments pertaining to sustainability within the higher education field. Higher education stakeholders, who for this paper are defined as being the potential/ current students, staff and management, continue to become more conscious of the principles of sustainability. This higher level of understanding promotes the needs to assess existing literature in relation to the actual needs of the stakeholders in order to identify existing features, trends and needs so that there is continual improvement in the field. This paper shows that sustainability is currently a socially desirable trait but other factors, such as becoming more competitive in the job market, supersede it in importance to stakeholders. It also shows that there is a general need for a standardized method for assessing institutions, with AASHE’s STARS system being the most used system.

description: There is a noticeable increase in interest with regards to sustainability in higher education. As institutions investigate, implement and market sustainability efforts, there is a myriad of sustainability assessment methodologies currently available. Although these assessment systems were created with the intention of helping sustainability in higher education institutions, they have ultimately led to an assortment of standards being used by institutions which do not help students and faculty assess the level of sustainability uniformly between institutions. This paper combines relevant literature on sustainability assessment with empirical data to suggest an ideal assessment method to be used as the basis for a universal tool. It was found that the STARS system was the most suited system to be used as a basis for a future universal assessment tool.

description: Sustainability assessment has become an important tool for measurement of higher education institutions. Although there are many potential tools for measuring an institutions level of sustainability, this paper explores the use of STARS as a system for higher education sustainability that could be used universally by all higher education institutions, as well as enables comparison between institutions. The results of this paper address the effectiveness of STARS to fulfill this need, as well as the further development needed in order to fully encompass sustainability and stakeholder needs.
