description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Diurnal variation is observed in almost all marine surveys and can cause biased abundance and length frequency estimates. Symmetric logistic models developed by Hjellvik et al. (2001) were utilized to investigate diurnal variation in catch rates of hake (Merluccius spp.) of trawlers for the period 1997-2002 and of hake surveys (1990-2003) in Namibian waters. The large numbers of commercial tows have a very good geographical, seasonal and temporal resolution that enabled us to study the influence of various explanatory variables on diurnal fluctuation model parameters. These results were thereby used to facilitate the modelling of diurnal variation in Namibian hake trawl survey catches.

description: Radiative heat-transport mediated by near-field interactions is known to be superdiffusive in dilute, many-body systems. In this Letter we use a generalized Landauer theory of radiative heat transfer in many-body planar systems to demonstrate a nonmonotonic transition from superdiffusive to ballistic transport in dense systems. We show that such a transition is associated to a change of the polarization of dominant modes, leading to dramatically different thermal relaxation dynamics spanning over three orders of magnitude. This result could have important consequences on thermal management at nanoscale of many-body systems.

description: We describe and realize an experimental procedure for assessing the incompatibility of two qubit measurements. The experiment consists in a state discrimination task where either measurement is used according to some partial intermediate information. The success statistics of the task provides an upper bound for the amount of incompatibility of the two measurements, as it is quantified by means of their incompatibility robustness. For a broad class of unbiased and possibly noisy qubit measurements, one can make this upper bound coincide with the true value of the robustness by suitably tuning the preparation of the experiment. We demonstrate this fact in an optical setup, where the qubit states are encoded into the photons' polarization degrees of freedom, and incompatibility is directly accessed by virtue of a refined control on the amplitude, phase and purity of the final projection stage of the measurements. Our work thus establishes the practical feasibility of a recently proposed method for the detection of quantum incompatibility.

description: Context. Many databases on asteroid brightnesses (e.g. ALCDEF, WISE) are potential sources for extensive asteroid shape and spin modelling. Individual lightcurve inversion models require several apparitions and hundreds of data points per target. However, we can analyse the coarse shape and spin distributions over populations of at least thousands of targets even if there are only a few points and one apparition per asteroid. This is done by examining the distribution of the brightness variations observed within the chosen population. Aims. Brightness variation has been proposed as a population-scale rather than individual-target observable in two studies so far. We aim to examine this approach rigorously to establish its theoretical validity, degree of ill-posedness, and practical applicability. Methods. We model the observed brightness variation of a target population by considering its cumulative distribution function (CDF) caused by the joint distribution function of two fundamental shape and spin indicators. These are the shape elongation and the spin latitude of a simple ellipsoidal model. The main advantage of the model is that we can derive analytical basis functions that yield the observed CDF as a function of the shape and spin distribution. The inverse problem can be treated linearly. Even though the inaccuracy of the model is considerable, databases of thousands of targets should yield some information on the distribution. Results. We establish the theoretical soundness and the typical accuracy limits of the approach both analytically and numerically. Using simulations, we derive a practical estimate of the model distribution in the (shape, spin)-plane. We show that databases such as Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) yield coarse but robust estimates of this distribution, and as an example compare various asteroid families with each other.

description: What are the values that people weigh when discussing limitations on hate speech? Can hate speech laws be written such that they don't infringe upon other values? If not, does the good of such laws outweigh the bad? These philosophical questions are necessary to fully understand contemporary arguments about hate speech. In answering these questions, my thesis explores various viewpoints, traversing between the classical views of Milton and Mill, who provide an epistemological defense of free speech; the views of critical race theorists such as Matsuda, Lawrence, Delgado, and Crenshaw, who argue for hate speech restrictions; and the anti-restriction views of Strossen, who argues that hate speech laws are ineffective and counterproductive. I don't intend to provide a definitive answer to the question of hate speech (although I do line up with one of these schools of thought), but rather to try to encapsulate as best as possible the various arguments, laying out their differences in valuations and their objections to each other.

description: The continental collision between Laurentia and Amazonia that generated Rodinia and the Grenville Orogen is proposed to be one of the largest, hottest and longest-lived orogens in Earth history. Subsequent erosion and weathering led to a mountain range’s worth of sediment recycled into clastic systems across North America, otherwise known as the “Great Grenville Sedimentation Event”. The Sunsas orogeny in Amazonia is correlative to the Grenville in North America and is proposed to be the result of final Rodinian collision at 1200-1000 Ma. Despite the connection between the two ranges and the robust sedimentary record in North America, little work has been done to constrain sediment availability on the Amazonian side of the Grenville orogen. This study examined 16 samples collected from western Brazil including quartz-arenite, diamictite, quartzite, and other metasedimentary units, with basement samples for age comparison. Detrital zircons were analyzed for U/Pb isotope ratios using LA-ICP-MS, resulting in approx. 3,000 analyses for the 16 samples. These analyses suggest only a minor sediment contribution to the Amazonian craton from Grenville-age terranes. Instead, most samples exhibit ages characteristic of Amazonian Precambrian basement. The dominance of Geons 15 and 17 indicates that Grenville-aged sediment does not constitute the main sediment-source region and with no significant increase in the number of Grenville zircons in samples collected proximal to the Sunsas orogenic front. We interpret these results to mean that although Laurentian clastic sequences are perpetually dominated by Shawinigan and Ottawan sources, the Amazonian craton was not influenced by the same sediment influx. 40Ar/39Ar analyses from southwest Amazonian document a change in tectonic regime during the Grenville cycle, transitioning from collisional, thrust-dominated along the Laurentian margin to strike-slip in Amazonia. The lack of Grenville-aged sediment supports an asymmetric orogen in which changes in crustal thickness and exhumation prevented erosion and deposition on the Amazonian side making the primary source for sediments the Amazonian tectonic provinces.

description: BoxScore is a real-time beam diagnosis and monitoring program for the CAEN x730 series digitizer that was developed for the ATLAS in-flight facility at Argonne National Laboratory. The CAEN x730 series digitizer, with built-in Digital Pulse Processing for the Pulse-Height-Analysis, can analyze the input signal in real-time using a trapezoidal filter. BoxScore reads the digitizer's buffer directly, builds and saves events to local files, plots filled histograms for particle identification, and outputs the rates of selected isotopes every second. Implementation of BoxScore has shortened the time needed for in-flight beam-tuning and has potential applications for other nuclear physics experiments.

description: Increased support for more egalitarian attitudes and greater women’s representation in public life has led to substantial increases in female attainments of suffrage, education, and leadership positions. Around the world, there has been an increasing importance and broad acceptance of promoting gender equality and advancing opportunity for women. As such, women are running and being elected to leadership positions at unprecedented rates globally. However, women still face a significant amount of progress to achieve full representation with men in leadership positions.  While large strides have been made in achieving equal political representation throughout the world, there is still a significant gap in achieving gender equality. This suggests there is an additional feature that influences women’s representation, aside from structural and institutional factors, that enables the gender gap to persist. Culture is another factor contributing to lacking female representation, and this essay will primarily connect how culture constrains female power and agency. Through a full analysis of a country’s structural, institutional and cultural factors, one can get a deeper understanding of the specific barriers and mechanisms that restrict equal gender representation in a society. By exploring culture as a factor of women’s representation, this thesis will establish language as an important cultural factor influencing women’s representation.

description: We characterized the population of galaxy clusters detected with the SZ effect with Planck, by measuring the cool core state of the objects in a well-defined subsample of the Planck catalogue. We used as indicator the concentration parameter Santos et al. (2008). The fraction of cool core clusters is $29 \pm 4 \%$ and does not show significant indications of evolution in the redshift range covered by our sample. We compare the distribution of the concentration parameter in the Planck sample with the one of the X-ray selected sample MACS (Mann & Ebeling, 2011): the distributions are significantly different and the cool core fraction in MACS is much higher ($59 \pm 5 \%$). Since X-ray selected samples are known to be biased towards cool cores due to the presence of their prominent surface brightness peak, we simulated the impact of the "cool core bias" following Eckert et al. (2011). We found that it plays a large role in the difference between the fractions of cool cores in the two samples. We examined other selection effects that could in principle bias SZ-surveys against cool cores but we found that their impact is not sufficient to explain the difference between Planck and MACS. The population of X-ray under-luminous objects, which are found in SZ-surveys but missing in X-ray samples (Planck Collaboration 2016), could possibly contribute to the difference, as we found most of them to be non cool cores, but this hypothesis deserves further investigation.

description: In conformal field theory, momentum eigenstates can be parameterized by a pair of real spinors, in terms of which special conformal transformations take a simpler form. This well-known fact allows to express 2-point functions of primary operators in the helicity basis, exposing the consequences of unitarity. What is less known is that the same pair of spinors can be used, together with a pair of scalar quantities, to parameterize 3-point functions. We develop this formalism in 3 dimensions and show that it provides a simple realization of the operator product expansion (OPE) for scalar primary operators acting on the vacuum.

description: My research analyses the political influence of the British Monarchy on the establishment of the U.S. Presidency and early presidential administrations. I study how the political influence of the British monarchy reflected and contradicted the views of the framers in the decisions made in the Washington and Adams administrations. I also compare the decisions made by Presidents Washington and Adams to the words written in the U.S. Constitution. In my analysis, I access primary sources and secondary scholarly articles. From the early presidencies, I also explore constitutional controversies such as the Neutrality Proclamation of 1793 in Washington’s administration and the XYZ Affair and Alien and Sedition Acts in Adams’s administration. The British monarchy greatly influence the framers in establishing the Articles of Confederation and defining the role of the presidency in Article II of the Constitution. These decisions lead to questions about scope of power not specifically addressed in the Constitution in the first few administrations. Therefore, the early presidents defined and developed the role of the presidency rather than Congress as evident in Washington and Adams’ administrations. Similarly to the early presidents, their predecessors continued and continue to develop the presidency well into the twenty-first century.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Following promising lidar test flights in 2002, Institute of Marine Research (IMR), Bergen in cooperation with NTNU University, Trondheim started the process of designing and building a new lidar to be ready by summer 2004. It is based on the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) lidar used during the 2002 test flights. The paper presents the first results obtained during the mackerel (Scomber scombrus) survey in July 2004. This is an annual survey using two commercial vessels to map the distribution and density of mackerel in the Norwegian Sea during summer feeding using sonar and trawl. The lidar flights cover the same tracks as the vessels and the results are compared. An intercalibration routine between lidar and sonar was tested. The idea was to cover a school of fish observed on the vessel sonar by numerous lidar flights. Finally, the plans for mounting the lidar onboard R/V “G.O. Sars' is presented.

description: We outline the construction of compatible B-splines on 3D surfaces that satisfy the continuity requirements for electromagnetic scattering analysis with the boundary element method (method of moments). Our approach makes use of Non-Uniform Rational B-splines to represent model geometry and compatible B-splines to approximate the surface current, and adopts the isogeometric concept in which the basis for analysis is taken directly from CAD (geometry) data. The approach allows for high-order approximations and crucially provides a direct link with CAD data structures that allows for efficient design workflows. After outlining the construction of div- and curl-conforming B-splines defined over 3D surfaces we describe their use with the electric and magnetic field integral equations using a Galerkin formulation. We use Bézier extraction to accelerate the computation of NURBS and B-spline terms and employ H-matrices to provide accelerated computations and memory reduction for the dense matrices that result from the boundary integral discretization. The method is verified using the well known Mie scattering problem posed over a perfectly electrically conducting sphere and the classic NASA almond problem. Finally, we demonstrate the ability of the approach to handle models with complex geometry directly from CAD without mesh generation.

description: As a hallmark of pure quantum effect, quantum entanglement has provided unconventional routes to condensed matter systems. Here, from the perspective of quantum entanglement, we disclose exotic quantum physics in non-Hermitian quasicrystals. We present a class of experimentally realizable models for non-Hermitian quasicrystal chains, in which asymmetric hopping and complex potential coexist. We diagnose global phase diagram by means of entanglement from both real-space and momentum-space partition. By measuring entanglement entropy, we numerically determine the metal-insulator transition point. We combine real-space and momentum-space entanglement spectra to complementarily characterize the delocalization phase and the localization phase. Inspired by entanglement spectrum, we further analytically prove that a duality exists between the two phase regions. The transition point is self-dual and exact, further validating the numerical result from diagonalizing non-Hermitian matrices. Finally, we identify mobility edge by means of entanglement.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions.

description: Machine learning models need to provide contrastive explanations, since people often seek to understand why a puzzling prediction occurred instead of some expected outcome. Current contrastive explanations are rudimentary comparisons between examples or raw features, which remain difficult to interpret, since they lack semantic meaning. We argue that explanations must be more relatable to other concepts, hypotheticals, and associations. Inspired by the perceptual process from cognitive psychology, we propose the XAI Perceptual Processing Framework and RexNet model for relatable explainable AI with Contrastive Saliency, Counterfactual Synthetic, and Contrastive Cues explanations. We investigated the application of vocal emotion recognition, and implemented a modular multi-task deep neural network to predict and explain emotions from speech. From think-aloud and controlled studies, we found that counterfactual explanations were useful and further enhanced with semantic cues, but not saliency explanations. This work provides insights into providing and evaluating relatable contrastive explainable AI for perception applications.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Fish farm effluents released in rivers are point sources of pollution which perturb lotic ecosystems. They are known to have an impact on the production of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) juveniles. They may have an effect on Atlantic salmon adults before spawning as well. This hypothesis was assessed on the R. Scorff (Brittany, France), a small coastal stream on which a major trout farm is located. A previous study allowed to identify the zone impacted by the fish farm pollution. Using radio-tracking data before the spawning season, the (non-fishing) mortality of salmon adults which entered this zone was compared with that of fish who stayed downstream, where the influence of the source of pollution is considered to be negligible. The Bayesian treatment of a generalized linear model revealed that pollution from fish farm effluents caused a significant increase in the pre-spawning mortality of salmon adults. Consequences of this result on the renewal of Atlantic salmon populations are briefly discussed.

description: (Abridged) Our sensitive ($σ_{\rm n} = 572\,{\rm nJy\,beam}^{-1}$), high-resolution (FWHM $θ_{1/2} = 220\,{\rm mas} \approx2\mathrm{\,kpc~at~}z\gtrsim1$) 10$\,$GHz image covering a single Karl G.~Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) primary beam (FWHM $Θ_{1/2} = 4.25'$) in the GOODS-N field contains 32 sources with $S_{\rm p}\gtrsim2\,μ{\rm Jy~beam}^{-1}$ and optical and/or near-infrared (OIR) counterparts. Most are about as large as the star-forming regions that power them. Their median FWHM major axis is $\langleθ_{\rm M} \rangle=167\pm32\,{\rm mas} \approx 1.2\pm0.28\,{\rm kpc}$ with rms scatter 91 was $\approx$ 0.79 kpc. In units of the effective radius $r_{\rm e}$ that encloses half their flux, these radio sizes are $\langle r_{\rm e}\rangle = 69\pm13{\rm mas} \approx \pm114\mathrm{\,pc}$ and have rms scatter $38\mathrm{\,mas}\approx324\mathrm{\,pc}$. These sizes are smaller than those measured at lower radio frequencies, but agree with dust emission sizes measured at mm/sub-mm wavelengths and extinction-corrected H$α$ sizes. We made a low-resolution ($θ_{1/2}=1.0"$) image with $\approx10\times$ better brightness sensitivity to detect extended sources and measure matched-resolution spectral indices $α_{1.4}^{10}$. It contains 6 new sources with $S_{\rm p}\gtrsim3.9\,μ{\rm Jy~beam}^{-1}$ and OIR counterparts. The median redshift of all 38 sources is $1.24\pm0.15$. The 19 sources with 1.4$\,$GHz counterparts have median spectral index $-0.74\pm0.10$ with rms scatter $0.35$. Including upper limits on $α$ for sources not detected at 1.4$\,$GHz flattens the median to $\gtrsim-0.61$, suggesting that the $μ$Jy radio sources at higher redshifts, and hence selected at higher rest-frame frequencies, may have flatter spectra. If the non-thermal spectral index is -0.85, the median thermal fraction at rest-frame frequency 20$\,$GHz is $\gtrsim$48%.

description: In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the topic of student debt has become front-of-mind for many Americans, as they struggle to repay their student loans while also keeping food on the table. It has also been a topic on the forefront of American politics, as politicians debate the ways to address and remediate the current United States Student Debt Crisis. Today, over 44.7 million student borrowers hold outstanding student loans, and the total outstanding debt surpasses $1.7 trillion.  This thesis aims to provide an in-depth analysis of the United States Student Debt Crisis. It provides a thorough overview of the student loan industry and details the industry’s creation and changes over time. It then analyzes the current state of student debt in America. Next, this thesis analyzes the crisis from an ethical perspective, highlighting some of the implications that borrowers face at the hand of their student loans. Finally, the thesis aims to expose aspects of the student loan industry that raise ethical red flags. The purpose of this thesis is to provide ethical support to arguments in favor of reforming the United States student loan industry. This thesis will not propose an explicit solution to the Student Debt Crisis. It will bring to light important evidence to support the need for immediate remediation of the industry. This industry was designed with the intention of helping the American people. Today, however, it cannot help the greater population without also harming many Americans. So, how does the United States student loan industry hurt the people it was designed to help? This is the question that this thesis aims to answer.

description: Teleparallel Horndeski theory offers an avenue through which to circumvent the speed constraint of gravitational waves in an efficient manner. However, this provides an even larger plethora of models due to the increase in action terms. In this work we explore these models in the context of cosmological systems. Using Noether point symmetries, we classify the dynamical systems that emerge from Teleparallel Horndeski cosmologies. This approach is very effective at selecting specific models in the general class of second-order Teleparallel scalar-tensor theories, as well as for deriving exact solutions within a cosmological context. By iterating through the Lagrangians selected through the Noether symmetries, we solve for a number of cosmological systems which provides new cosmological systems to be studied.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.American eel (Anguilla rostrata) experienced a major decline over past decades. Although fisheries-related mortality could be accurately estimated, there is no global assessment of non-exploitation anthropogenic impacts. Within the St. Lawrence watershed, which contributes about 19% of the freshwater runoff in the species’ range, we found that more than 8411 dams were erected whose 151 are equipped with hydroelectricity facilities. These obstacles prevent free access to an estimated 12 140 km2 of freshwater habitat. Data analysis from three tributaries in the St. Lawrence watershed allowed evaluating annual productivity and production for female from freshwater habitats. Calculation leads to an estimated escapement of 87.1 kg/km2/year. The extension of this value to the area above barriers in the historic distribution range, suggests that the annual productivity losses could have been as much as 836 500 eels, mostly large fecund females. In comparison, the estuarine fishery at the outlet of the St. Lawrence watershed, with an historical annual peak capture of 340,000 silver eels (1920-2004) represented a loss for the population equivalent to only 40% of the potential production above dams. By preventing upstream passage, dams are clearly a major cause of abundance decline. Thus, re-opening access should be a priority. Simulations of re-opening some access could potentially contribute for 737 000 spawners per year. This net contribution could however only be obtained with the addition of efficient protection devices against mortalities caused by turbines. These actions appear as being among the most efficient to stop the decline of the species.
Exciton spectrum in two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides: The role of Diracness

description: The physics of excitons, electron-hole pairs that are bound together by their mutual Coulomb attraction, can to great extent be understood in the framework of the quantum-mechanical hydrogen model. This model has recently been challenged by spectroscopic measurements on two-dimensional transition-metal dichalchogenides that unveil strong deviations from a hydrogenic spectrum. Here, we show that this deviation is due to the particular relativistic character of electrons in this class of materials. Indeed, their electrons are no longer described in terms of a Schroedinger but a massive Dirac equation that intimately links electrons to holes. Dirac excitons therefore inherit a relativistic quantum spin-1/2 that contributes to the angular momentum and thus the exciton spectrum. Most saliently, the level spacing is strongly reduced as compared to the hydrogen model, in agreement with spectroscopic measurements and ab-initio calculations.

description: Celestial objects such as stars and planets might be able to capture a large amount of dark matter particles through dark matter-nucleon scattering. Many previous studies have considered different celestial objects such as the Sun and the Earth as natural dark matter detectors and obtained some stringent bounds of the dark matter-nucleon scattering cross section. In this study, we use the $\sim 10$ MeV electron neutrino flux limits obtained by the Super-Kamiokande experiment and consider the Earth as a large natural dark matter detector to constrain the dark matter-nucleon scattering cross section. We show that this method can generally get more stringent limits. For certain ranges of dark matter mass annihilating via the $b\bar{b}$ channel, the limits of cross section for the isospin-independent scattering and proton-only scattering could be more stringent than that obtained in the PICO direct-detection experiment.
