description: This thesis investigates problems both in gambling theory and in stock optionmodels. In gambling theory, we study the difference between the Vardi casinoand the Dubins-Savage casino. In the simple Dubins-Savage casino there is onlyone table in which a sub-fair gamble is available fixed odds ratio, r and the problemis to change a fortune of size f to a fortune of size 1 with maximum probabilitybefore going broke. Vardi proposed the casino where there is available a table foreach odds ratio r. Since the Dubins-Savage casino can be duplicated in the Vardicasino, it is clear that the Vardi casino will provide a bigger probability to achievethe goal than the Dubins-Savage casino. A main result of the thesis is to showthat the advantage of the Vardi casino is surprisingly small. This implies thesurprising conclusion that it does not really help the gambler to have a varietyof gambles available, and raises the question of why casinos in the real worldhave such a variety of gambles. In particular, the optimal probabilities of theVardi casino and the Dubins-Savage casino with odds ratio r = 1 (red-and-black)agree to three decimal places. We further conjecture that the largest difference between the Vardi and the Dubins-Savage optimal probabilities occurs at f =1/3. The thesis also studies the two classic stochastic models involved in financeand economics, the additive Bachelier model and the multiplicative Black-scholesmodel. Both models have advantages and shortcomings. Chen et al [6] introduceda general class of models with decreasing-return- to-scale indexed by a parameterinterpolating between the additive (θ= 0) and the multiplicative (θ= 1) cases.We study the American and the Russian option under the decreasing-return-to-scale models and give the optimal policy of each option for these new models.The two parts of the thesis are related through the fact that gambling is involvedin each case, this despite the fact that investors often prefer to believe there isno gambling involved in their activity. Of course gamblers often believe this aswell. Furthermore, among the stocks with the same negative drift, in order tomaximize the probability to achieve a particular amount of fortune to survive forthe gamblers problem of stocks (see [29] [30]), they need to buy those stocks withbig volatilities (odds ratios).

Paratypi: 3 , stessa provenienza (MB), (MRSNT).
Descrizione:
Lunghezza 1,7 mm. Corpo lievemente opaco e giallo-bruno con capo bruno-rossiccio e pronoto rossiccio; antenne giallo-rossicce con i due antennomeri basali giallo-rossicci; zampe gialle. Granulosità del capo fittissima, tanto da dare un aspetto scabro della superficie, quella del pronoto e delle elitre con granuli meno fini di quelli del capo, sempre fittissimi. Reticolazione assente su tutto il corpo. Solo il primo urotergo libero del maschio solcato alla base. Edeago figg. 85-86, spermateca fig. 87.
Comparazioni:
La nuova specie è attribuita al genere Meoticaops PACE, 1983, del Venezuela, oltre che per la ligula intera e a base larga, a motivo della forma della sua spermateca simile a quella di M. franzi PACE, 1983, del Venezuela. La nuova specie ha elitre più lunghe del pronoto, mentre in franzi sono più corte del pronoto; è priva, inoltre, di appendice distale del bulbo distale della spermateca, presente invece in franzi.
Etimologia: La nuova specie prende nome dalla Bolivia.

description: A method, system and computer program product for efficiently identifying images, videos, audio files or documents relevant to a user using binary search trees in attribute space for guiding relevance feedback. A binary tree is constructed for each relative attribute of interest. A “pivot exemplar” (at a node of the binary tree) is set for each relative attribute's binary tree as corresponding to the database image, video, audio file or document with a median relative attribute value among that subtree's child examples. A pivot exemplar out of the available current pivot exemplars that has the highest expected information gain is selected to be provided to the user. Comparative attribute feedback is then received from the user regarding whether a degree of the attribute in the user's target image, video, audio file or document is more, less or equal with the attribute displayed in the selected pivot exemplar.
Microbial degradation of the fuel oxygenate methyl tert-bytyl ether (MTBE)
Creators: name: Youngster, Laura K. G.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: Groundwater contamination with the synthetic fuel oxygenate, methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE), is an extensive problem.  Microbial mediated biodegradation holds promise as a tool for remediation of contaminated water supplies.  However, MTBE biotransformation processes are slow and MTBE degrading organisms are difficult to isolate, creating challenges relating to site assessment, enhancement of natural attenuation and monitoring bioremediation in situ.  In this study we analyzed MTBE degrading cultures using a variety of isolation independent techniques.  A majority of the experiments used previously established anaerobic enrichment cultures that had been maintained on MTBE for several years.  We demonstrated that low concentrations of some aryl O-methyl ether compounds enhanced the rate of MTBE degradation.  Propyl iodide caused a light-reversible inhibition of MTBE depletion, suggesting that the anaerobic MTBE O-demethylation reaction was corrinoid dependent. Terminal-restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) and sequence analysis of 16S rRNA genes from one anaerobic MTBE degrading enrichment culture showed a phylogenetically diverse population with no exact matches to previously isolated or described species.  Stable isotope probing experiments verified that microorganisms from anaerobic MTBE degrading enrichment culture used 13C from 13C-MTBE for growth and cell division and that a particular subpopulation assimilated this carbon prior to the rest of the population.  We also analyzed carbon and hydrogen stable isotope fractionation occurring during MTBE degradation.  In anaerobic cultures, substantial fractionation of hydrogen was found only in cultures supplied with syringic acid during MTBE degradation, providing the first experimental suggestion of multiple anaerobic MTBE O-demethylation mechanisms.  During aerobic MTBE degradation by the psychrophilic bacterium, Variovorax paradoxus, carbon and hydrogen fractionation were not influenced by incubation temperature during degradation. This work represents a significant contribution to the current body of knowledge about MTBE degradation and the data presented will be useful in many aspects of studying, enhancing and monitoring MTBE degradation under a variety of conditions.

Martha Washington goes shopping

Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: This dissertation expands the definition of women’s social activism to include the innovative work of activists, intellectuals, and corporations creating popular historical narratives.  As twentieth century American women assumed new social, political, and economic roles, popular media sentimentalized historical figures like Martha Washington as models for present-day domesticity, constructing colonial and antebellum womanhood as historical precedents for contemporary gendered and racialized divisions of labor. Magazines, advertisements, radio programs, films, and product packaging idealized the middle-class female consumer’s domestic role as a timeless contribution to American democracy, encouraging contemporary women to continue privileging familial over political roles.    At the same time, women advertisers, magazine editors, department store executives, radio writers, and popular historians responded, constructing more dynamic narratives of progress in women’s status, both in their own work and in their collective efforts on behalf of women’s professional rights.  Recent scholarship identifies amateur writing and historical preservation as alternative careers forged by twentieth century women excluded from the academic profession.  This dissertation reveals that popular media also narrated the history of women as key players in political and economic change.  In the late 1930s, the Philadelphia Club of Advertising Women, a prominent professional group, produced a series of local radio programs dramatizing the lives of transgressive female historical figures.  Simultaneously, historian Mary Ritter Beard and journalist Eva vom Baur Hansl collaborated with the U. S. Office of Education to produce national radio programs dramatizing women’s roles as “co-makers” of history and promoting Beard’s development of the World Center for Women’s Archives. These constructions of the past made claims for women’s professional capabilities and historical significance, but they also drew on the dominant culture’s pre-existing cultural scripts for gender, racial, and national differences.  Celebrations of business women’s histories often assumed white middle-class cultural superiority.  As second wave feminists in the 1960s and 1970s strove to reclaim women’s history as a route to feminist consciousness, reception of their efforts was shaped by these complex constructions of women’s history that had become central to mass media.  This dissertation thus reveals the integral role of popular culture in defining “women’s history” for public audiences.

Nota:
La specie tipo del genere Brachyglossa FAUVEL, 1866 è B. varicolor FAUVEL, 1866, del Cile. BLACK- WELDER (1952) ha scoperto che il nome Brachyglossa è pre-occupato da Brachyglossa BOISDUVAL, 1828 e ha dato al genere il nuovo nome Feluva. Il mio esame della serie tipica di Feluva varicolor FAUVEL, del Cile, e della serie tipica di Phloeopora colubrina ERICHSON, del Brasile, mi ha permesso di riconoscere con certezza che colubrina appartiene al genere Feluva. La ligula, infatti, è intera e larga nelle due specie e la spermateca è avvolta in spire in entrambe le specie.

Developmental trajectories of behavior problems of youth involved in child welfare
Creators: name: Lee, Inseon
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: This dissertation examined the developmental trajectories of adolescent youth involved with the child welfare system, particularly focusing on their externalizing and internalizing behavioral problems. The study investigated how adolescents’ relationships with caregivers and peers change over time and how they affect these behavioral outcomes. The study also explored whether removing youth from their biological family predicted distinct trajectories of behavior functioning compared to those who remained at home. Data are from the National Survey of Child and Adolescent Well-being (NSCAW), a national probability sample of children and adolescents who have contact with child protective services. Two types of structural equation modeling (SEM), latent growth curve modeling and cross-lagged designs were conducted using M-Plus. All analyses were conducted with sample weights. Youths reported significantly decreasing internalizing behavior problems over the study period of 36 months. On the other hand, externalizing problems remained considerably stable over time. In order to investigate if youth had different development trajectories depending on whether they stayed at home or were placed in out-of-home care, the sample was divided into four placement groups, i.e., out-of-home youth, in-home youth, the initial out-of-home youth (those who returned home later), and the initial in-home youth (those who were removed from home later). When group differences were investigated, youths did not show significant differences in the initial levels and rates of change of internalizing or externalizing problems over time. In addition, relationships with caregivers and peers were found to be comparable across four groups. Caregiver and peer relationships were significantly related to youths’ internalizing and externalizing problems at baseline as well as over time. When temporal causal relations among caregiver relationships, peer relationships, and behavior problems were investigated, externalizing problems of youth at 18 months were found to affect their caregiver and peer relationships at 36 months.

description: Recommendation systems are widely used in Internet applications. In current recommendation systems, users only play a passive role and have limited control over the recommendation generation process. As a result, there is often considerable mismatch between the recommendations made by these systems and the actual user interests, which are fine-grained and constantly evolving. With a user-powered distributed recommendation architecture, individual users can flexibly define fine-grained communities of interest in a declarative fashion and obtain recommendations accurately tailored to their interests by aggregating opinions of users in such communities. By combining a progressive sampling technique with data perturbation methods, the recommendation system is both scalable and privacy-preserving.

Vernacular modernism
Creators: name: Lu, Yingjiu
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: This dissertation aims to articulate the sociological and cultural meaning of the representative fictional writings of Zhang Ailing (1920-1995) in contexts and approach that befit the nature of Zhang’s work. To do that requires nothing short of a revision of the existing paradigms in the study of modernity and of the conventional approaches to literary history. In the introduction, I argue that Zhang’s fictional texts must be read against an expanded understanding of the (Chinese) modern experience in the urban context to include what I call “ordinary modernity.” And I argue that Zhang’s fictional language – with rich generic and stylistic layers that cut across the great divide between the high and the low modern literature – registers the cultural logic of the ordinary urban community, its “style of abundance” corresponding to the latter’s provincial cosmopolitanism and eclectic cultural anarchy. It is necessary and productive to read such a body of fiction with the method of Marxist-Structuralist genre criticism under the premise of Raymond Williams’ belief that “culture is ordinary.” In the body of the dissertation, I conduct such generic criticism on three of Zhang’s most representative novellas: Aloeswood Incense: the First Brazier (1943), Love in a Fallen City (1943), and Red Rose, White Rose (1944), which feature respectively three central themes that informed high and low modern fiction in urban China: (urban) reality, individualism (and love), and (modern) sexuality. By juxtaposing the high and low literary culture’s responses to these themes in a relationship of mutual completion and mutual testing, Zhang’s fiction made possible an in-depth dialogue and exchange between the two traditions. With expanded and deepened understandings of modern experience and culture, Zhang then developed her own, essentially modernist, responses to the central themes of modernity. In the conclusion I argue that in her novelistic thought and practice (which I call “vernacular modernism”) Zhang created a new literary paradigm in which the key relationships that defined China’s modern literary culture – those between art, culture and the people – were reconceived.

Model calculations of Raman responses for multiband iron-based superconductors
Creators: name: Sauer, Christoph
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: In this thesis I compute Raman responses for a free electron band structure model based on ARPES measurements on multiband iron-based superconductors. First a constant and then a k-dependent superconducting gap is used. Applying an effective mass approximation leaves A1g and B2g as the only nonvanishing symmetry channels. In the latter only one band contributes and a square root singularity is observed for a constant gap. The k-dependent gap leads to a threshold-log-singularity structure. The unscreened A1g channel shows the same features but all bands contribute and sum up. The screened single band A1g response vanishes for both gaps. Two band responses with the same constant gap are perfectly screened with identical Raman verteces, unscreened with opposite signs and equal mass ratios and partially screened in all other cases. With two different constant gaps the singularities are removed and a dome-like shape appears except for the vanishing case of equal verteces. The n-band response consists of a sum of two band terms normalized by all n bands and the singularities corresponding to all uniquely present gap values are removed. With the k-dependent gap the singularities are removed and a dome-like shape appears in all combinations of two band responses and in the response for all bands. The dome in the response for all bands shows a at continuum in between a threshold and a sharp peak produced by the two band terms containing bands of opposite signs.
The role of texture evolution and strain hardening on the anisotropic response of polycrystalline metals

description: Anisotropy and texture plays an important role in deformation of Aluminum alloy sheets. The development of anisotropy during metal forming is a key factor as in the standard industrial use of AA-6022 as stamped automotive body enclosures where a close estimation of anisotropy can deduct costs on both machinery and inventory. In this thesis, we provide a methodology to predict the anisotropic behavior of polycrystalline metals depending on its processing history. The methodology suggested is based on single crystal plasticity model of Cuitino and Ortiz where the mechanics of dislocation motion through forest dislocations is estimated statistically. In that context, we first study the role of uncertainties and responses of the initial parameters such as initial yield stress and dislocation density. R-values, which is a measure of anisotropy, of a sample undergone hydraulic bulge test are obtained by a uniaxial tensile test simulation and found to be in good agreement with the experimentalfindings. An optimization method to capture the texture while reducing the number of orientations is introduced and compared with random sets of orientations. Gradual work hardening effect is captured by adjusting the dislocation density carried over through consecutive simulations of rolling and uniaxial stretching. However more accurate models of rolling simulations is necessary to provide r-values and work hardening effect without the need of texture.

Women in the city

Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: My dissertation follows the trajectory of female flânerie in women’s writing from the mid-nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century. I analyze the transformations of female urban subjectivity in the works of Charlotte Brontë, Katherine Mansfield, Jean Rhys, and Virginia Woolf. These writers imagine female characters and narrators as urban subjects whose sense of self develops in the dangerous and attractive spaces of the modern city. I target those moments in which female flâneurs collapse the perceptual distance between themselves and the city so that their imagination fuses with urban space. In my first chapter, I explain the concept of the flâneur as an urban walker and spectator, a central figure in urban modernity. I trace the transformations of the female flâneur in the urban culture of spectacle, and underscore the indispensible role of the flâneuse for modernist literary experimentation. In the second chapter on Brontë’s Villette (1853), I focus on the heroine’s struggle for independence and agency as an urban spectator. Next I treat Katherine Mansfield’s short story, “The Tiredness of Rosabel” (1918), and Jean Rhys’s novel, Good Morning, Midnight (1939), showing how these writers employ the flâneuse’s subjective fragmentation in order to imagine a new urban self that opens toward urban space. My study culminates with the analysis of Woolf’s writing, especially “Mr. Bennett and Mrs. Brown (1923), Mrs. Dalloway (1925), and A Room of One’s Own (1929), in which she moves beyond the conventions of realism to emphasize the contingency and mystery of city life. Her characters and narrators come to life only in urban exchanges. Drawing on this kind of reciprocity between the flâneuse and the city, I argue that Woolf breaks new ground in articulating a provisional kind of collectivity between urban dwellers that becomes a base for future women’s writing.
Synthesis, characterization, and film fabrication of inorganic and hybrid semiconductor materials for optoelectonic applications

Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2008

description: We have developed and studied selected properties of a novel type of inorganic-organic hybrid semiconductor materials in order to enhance the functionality over their parent structures. Since inorganic organic hybrid semiconductor materials are composed of both inorganic and organic segments, one may expect them to have the advantage of combining the excellent electrical, optical, thermal and transport properties from the inorganic component with the flexibility, processability and structural diversity from the organic component. As a continuing effort, we have synthesized, modified, and characterized a number of selected structures with potential for solid state lighting applications. For example, we have developed the first inorganic organic semiconductor bulk material, double layered 2D-Cd2Q2(ba)(Q=S, Se), capable of producing direct white light. This type of materials could be promising for use as a single-material white-light-emitting source in white LEDs. Luminescence properties of these hybrid semiconductors can be tuned systematically by changing their composition and doping level. In addition, a thin pellet of one of our hybrid semiconductor materials without any modifications showed low electrical conductivity. Significant improvement may be anticipated with modifications. Solution processed deposition techniques provide great opportunities for optical and optoelectronic devices, such as displays, solid state lighting, and solar cells, because it enables to fabricate flexible devices with low-cost and large area fabrications. Most semiconductors show very low solubility in organic solvents, thus limiting the opportunities to prepare thin films using soluble precursors. In this study, we have developed a simple, efficient, and low-cost solution-processed deposition route to fabricate metal chalcogenide semiconductor thin films by using soluble precursors via a spin-coating technique. Surface morphology was directly influenced by the choice of organic solvents as well as the spin-coating sequences, thus affecting the electrical transport of the films. In the case of hybrid semiconductors, a conducting polymer was employed to help forming more uniform composite films.

The thermal response of biological tissue subjected to short-pulsed irradiations
Creators: name: Kim, Kyunghan
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2008

description: A combined transient radiation and hyperbolic heat conduction model is developed to simulate heat transfer of biological tissue subjected to short pulsed irradiations. For modeling the ultrafast radiation heat transfer, the Transient Discrete Ordinate Method (TDOM) is developed in the two-dimensional axisymmetric cylindrical coordinates.  The hyperbolic conduction model is solved by MacCormack’s scheme with error terms correction. One combination model of radiation and heat conduction is that the radiation transfer is initiated by short pulse train irradiating until millisecond time scale and heat conduction transfer is followed. The temperature always increases by the radiation transfer and the heat is dissipated to the surrounding tissue by the hyperbolic heat conduction. The typical characteristic of the hyperbolic conduction is the thermal wave propagation rather than thermal diffusion with indefinite speed.  It is found that the maximum local temperatures are higher in the hyperbolic prediction than the parabolic prediction, which can be 7% higher in the modeled dermis tissue. After about 10 thermal relaxation times, thermal waves fade away and the predictions between the hyperbolic and parabolic models are closely consistent.Other combination model is that radiation and conduction transfer always occurs together until a second time regime. The temperature prediction is compared with the experimental result provided by Dr. Kunal Mitra’s group. Generally, the hyperbolic model combined with radiative heat transfer shows very similar result with the experimental data. It also shows high temperature increment near the laser deposition area compared with the parabolic model.Own experimental study is conducted to evaluate the hyperbolic heat conduction phenomena. The fresh chicken tissue which is conserved the room temperature is suddenly contacted the ice block. Some of the results support the hyperbolic model by the temperature suddenly dropping rather that gradual temperature change. The high absorbing tissue can enhance the radiation energy absorption and temperature increment is higher. The temperature increment is localized in the tissue surface region in the high scattering tissue. The focused laser beam played a role of temperature amplification around the focal region. The finer grid system is employed to catch up steep change of gradient of radiation energy absorption.
