description: We selected the finding that, in the treated municipalities, there are substantial six-month increases in all types of violence, DTO [drug-trafficking organization]-related deaths, and homicides among the rest of the population, following the neutralization of a leader; the increase in DTO-related deaths is the portion of this finding selected. This reflects the following statement from the paper's abstract: "We find evidence that captures or killings of drug cartel leaders have exacerbating effects not only on DTO-related violence but also on homicides that affect the general population." Table 2 shows the estimated coefficients of the negative binomial model described in equation (1), taking as the dependent variable the number of homicides of males between fifteen and thirty-nine years old, the authors' proxy for drug-related homicides, and the number of homicides in the rest of the population between December 2006 and December 2010. Model 3, the selected model, weights the full sample using the corresponding vector of synthetic weights, and compares homicide levels to posttreatment levels in their synthetic counterfactual scenarios. The focal term is after(1–6 months) * leader, and the effect selected is on homicides presumably related to DTOs (see Model 3 in Table 2 for details). The estimated effects for leadership captures or killings in the difference-in-difference specification using the full weighted sample (model 3) are of similar magnitude and significance to other results. With respect to its synthetic counterfactual, the capture of a leader is related to average increases of 36.5 percent, in drug-related homicides, during the first six months after the capture (from Model 3: coefficient on 'after(1–6 months) * (leader)' term = 0.311; robust SE clustered at the municipality level = 0.126; p < .05). The focal test in the original paper is: The estimated effects for leadership captures or killings in the difference-in-difference specification using the full weighted sample (model 3) are of similar magnitude and significance to other results. With respect to its synthetic counterfactual, the capture of a leader is related to average increases of 36.5 percent, in drug-related homicides, during the first six months after the capture (from Model 3: coefficient on 'after(1‚Äì6 months) * (leader)' term = 0.311; robust SE clustered at the municipality level = 0.126; p < .05).

description: More entries, more participants, much industrial heritage and two winners again. These are the first initial findings of the fourth Biennale for Landscape Architecture in Barcelona. However, the Biennale is in particular a meeting of landscape architects from all over Europe, with each other, and with that special town along the Catalan coast. The Biennale happened in March 2006 was mainly focused on transformation and the influence of heritage; from all projects seemed also to appear that many things in the European landscape architecture have become very similar. Too much formwill, too much use of fashionable materials and too many tricks. Two are the winners: Park Piedra Tosca in Spain, was praised for the extraordinary way in which the designers had opened up the volcano landscape literally and figuratively; Harnes Lagune in France, for the good combination of nature development and water management.

Formal Representations of Salience in Dynamic Semantics
Creators: name: Varey, Simon James
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2019

description: Lewis’ (1973; 1979) salience analysis of definite description reference suggests that an utterance of ‘the F’ refers to the most salient F, according to a contextual salience ranking. This analysis was created to account for referring improper definite descriptions. As shown by von Heusinger (2004), the salience analysis can also be used to explain anaphoric definite descriptions. Any formalization of the salience analysis will require a method for formally representing salience, such as Lewis’ order-theoretic method or von Heusinger’s choice-theoretic method. In this thesis, I will argue that the order-theoretic method explains certain features of salience that the choice-theoretic method does not, and therefore the order-theoretic method should be favored. I will also show how von Heusinger’s Dynamic Semantics with Choice Functions can be adapted to utilize the order-theoretic method, thus providing a formal modeling of the context change described by the salience explanation of anaphoric definite descriptions.

description: Electrospinning in controlled nitrogen atmosphere is developed for the realization of active polymer nanofibers. Fibers electrospun under controlled atmospheric conditions are found to be smoother and more uniform than samples realized by conventional electrospinning processes performed in air. In addition, they exhibit peculiar composition, incorporating a greatly reduced oxygen content during manufacturing, which favors enhanced optical properties and increases emission quantum yield. Active waveguides with optical losses coefficients lowered by ten times with respect to fibers spun in air are demonstrated through this method. These findings make the process very promising for the highly-controlled production of active polymer nanostructures for photonics, electronics and sensing.

description: We study $S=1$ spin liquid states on the kagome lattice constructed by Gutzwiller-projected $p_x+ip_y$ superconductors. We show that the obtained spin liquids are either non-Abelian or Abelian topological phases, depending on the topology of the fermionic mean-field state. By calculating the modular matrices $S$ and $T$, we confirm that projected topological superconductors are non-Abelian chiral spin liquid (NACSL). The chiral central charge and the spin Hall conductance we obtained agree very well with the $SO(3)_1$ (or, equivalently, $SU(2)_2$) field theory predictions. We propose a local Hamiltonian which may stabilize the NACSL. From a variational study we observe a topological phase transition from the NACSL to the $Z_2$ Abelian spin liquid.

description: We develop a hydrodynamic approach to non-equilibrium conformal field theory. We study non-equilibrium steady states in the context of one-dimensional conformal field theory perturbed by the $T\bar T$ irrelevant operator. By direct quantum computation, we show, to first order in the coupling, that a relativistic hydrodynamic emerges, which is a simple modification of one-dimensional conformal fluids. We show that it describes the steady state and its approach, and we provide the main characteristics of the steady state, which lies between two shock waves. The velocities of these shocks are modified by the perturbation and equal the sound velocities of the asymptotic baths. Pushing further this approach, we are led to conjecture that the approach to the steady state is generically controlled by the power law $t^{-1/2}$, and that the widths of the shocks increase with time according to $t^{1/3}$.

description: We tested the hypothesis that acute perinatal IH increases baseline blood pressure and enhances sensitivity to angiotensin II-induced hypertension in male Sprague Dawley rats. Male and female pups were randomized to control (room air) or IH (10 minutes of ~10% O2 three times/day) for the first 8 days of life. IH decreased oxygen saturation, confirmed via pulse oximeter. Pups were weaned at postnatal day 21. Blood pressure was measured via telemetry beginning at 14 weeks of age and analyzed separated into light and dark phase to assess circadian rhythm. Osmotic mini-pumps to deliver angiotensin II were implanted at 15 weeks of age to assess the impact oif perinatal IH on a second cardiovascular stressor. Supplementray data includes evidence that separation from the dam is not sufficicent to increase blood pressure in adulthood, IH alone does not alter the increase in blood pressure with age, and IH does not increase the renal inflammatory T cell repsone to Ang II.

description: The presence of phonological neighbours facilitates word-form learning, suggesting that prior phonological knowledge supports vocabulary acquisition. We tested whether prior semantic knowledge similarly benefits word learning by teaching 7-to-10-year-old children (Experiment 1) and adults (Experiment 2) pseudowords assigned to novel concepts with low or high semantic neighbourhood density according to feature norms. Form recall, definition recall, and semantic categorisation tasks were administered immediately after training, the next day, and one week later. Across sessions, pseudowords assigned to low-density (versus high-density) semantic neighbourhood concepts elicited better word-form recall (for adults) and better meaning recall (for children). Exploratory cross-experiment analyses demonstrated that the neighbourhood influence was most robust for recalling meanings. Children showed greater gains in form recall than adults across the week, regardless of links to semantic knowledge. While the results suggest that close semantic neighbours interfere with word learning, we consider alternative semantic dimensions that may be beneficial.

Microlensing planet detection via geosynchronous and low Earth orbit satellites

Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Earth and Planetary Astrophysics (astro-ph.EP)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Planet detection through microlensing is usually limited by a well-known degeneracy in the Einstein timescale $t_E$, which prevents mass and distance of the lens to be univocally determined. It has been shown that a satellite in geosynchronous orbit could provide masses and distances for most standard planetary events ($t_E \approx 20$ days) via a microlens parallax measurement. This paper extends the analysis to shorter Einstein timescales, $t_E \approx 1$ day, when dealing with the case of Jupiter-mass lenses. We then study the capabilities of a low Earth orbit satellite on even shorter timescales, $t_E \approx 0.1$ days. A Fisher matrix analysis is employed to predict how the 1-$σ$ error on parallax depends on $t_E$ and the peak magnification of the microlensing event. It is shown that a geosynchronous satellite could detect parallaxes for Jupiter-mass free floaters and discover planetary systems around very low-mass brown dwarfs. Moreover, a low Earth orbit satellite could lead to the discovery of Earth-mass free-floating planets. Limitations to these results can be the strong requirements on the photometry, the effects of blending, and in the case of the low orbit, the Earth's umbra.

Improving red snapper management and seafood transparency in the Southeastern United States
Creators: name: Spencer, Erin Taylor
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2019

description: Robust, accurate data about fish harvest is essential to developing sustainable policies that protect stocks while supporting the fishing and seafood industries. Unfortunately, there are large gaps in knowledge regarding how many fish are caught and what happens to those fish once they reach the dock. My thesis addresses two issues facing the snapper grouper fishery in the Southeastern United States: lack of data in recreational fisheries and the rate of seafood mislabeling. First, I investigated the rate of seafood mislabeling of red snapper using DNA barcoding. I found 72.6% of samples were mislabeled, indicating widespread mislabeling of red snapper on the South Atlantic coast. Second, I surveyed recreational anglers to assess perceptions of electronic reporting and found positive views of using apps and websites to report catch. These results inform fishers, consumers, and managers, and help facilitate the development of sustainable fisheries policies.

description: We examined the contributions of phoneme-to-word facilitation and word-to-word inhibition to transposed-phoneme priming effects under unimodal and cross-modal presentations. Experiments 1A and 1B showed that the presentation of an auditory prime formed by transposing two phonemes in a given target word facilitated lexical decisions to auditory targets. This facilitation was independent of the lexicality of the primes. In Experiment 2 the targets were presented visually rather than auditorily. We found an inhibitory priming effect, which, in contrast to Experiment 1, was influenced by the lexicality of the primes, with an effect emerging only with word primes. These findings point to a greater impact of phoneme-to-word facilitation under unimodal presentation and a greater role for word-to-word inhibition under cross-modal presentation. Hence, by simply manipulating the modality of target presentation, it is possible to separately probe two central mechanisms postulated in models of spoken word recognition, namely phoneme-to-word activation and lexical competition.

description: We directly measure the electronic structure of twisted graphene/MoS2 van der Waals heterostructures, in which both graphene and MoS2 are monolayers. We use cathode lens microscopy and microprobe angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy measurements to image the surface, determine twist angle, and map the electronic structure of these artificial heterostructures. For monolayer graphene on monolayer MoS2, the resulting band structure reveals the absence of hybridization between the graphene and MoS2 electronic states. Further, the graphene-derived electronic structure in the heterostructures remains intact, irrespective of the twist angle between the two materials. In contrast, however, the electronic structure associated with the MoS2 layer is found to be twist-angle dependent; in particular, the relative difference in the energy of the valence band maximum at Γ and K of the MoS2 layer varies from approximately 0 to 0.2 eV. Our results suggest that monolayer MoS2 within the heterostructure becomes predominantly an indirect bandgap system for all twist angles except in the proximity of 30 degrees. This result enables potential bandgap engineering in van der Waals heterostructures comprised of monolayer structures.

Year: 2019

description: In Still in Action: Blackness, Portraiture, and Photoliberation in Paul D’Amato’s Here/Still/Now, I examine the multifaceted significance of still within Black portrait photography’s subjective claims to individual and communal autonomy. Working with still’s shifting expressions of bodily composure, processes of un/changing transformation, and/or means of survival, I delineate explicit and implicit formations of Black subjective resistance through portrait photography’s portrayals, embodiments, and appearances of still. To characterize this resistance, I propose the notion of Black photoliberation as a model for describing the various strategies of photographic (re)production and (re)presentation that advocate for the social and cultural integrity of Blackness, historically, conceptually, and contemporaneously. Using D’Amato’s 2016 volume, I trace the continuation of Black photoliberation through subjective and visual mechanisms of still, drawing on contemporary fields of visual culture, social politics, and theoretical discourses about Black representation.

description: In the XV century the relationship between Florence and its surroundings, given by natural and fortified limits, reaches a height of big intensity. The painting of Botticini (tavola dell’Assunzione della Vergine, 1475) is one of the most singular expression of that correspondence. The lightness of the ceiling, painted as an huge green upset basket, overhangs the Florentine region. In the meanwhile the ground scene is impressed by the majestic dome of S. Maria del Fiore. Between these two realities is established a series of correspondences and implications, expressed by others iconographic and literary expressions, in which - in an explicit way or not - the reference to the circle is central. We remind the Laudatio of Florence written by L. Bruni (1403), the synthetic praise of the dome expressed by L.B. Alberti (1436) and, in particular, the drawings of Botticelli inspired by the Dante’s Divina Commedia.

The boundary states in conformal field theories play a crucial role in our formulation and the bulk diffeomorphism is naturally taken into account. We give an identification of bulk local operators which reproduces correct scalar field solutions on AdS3 and bulk scalar propagators. We also calculate the information metric for a locally excited state and show that it is given by that of 2d hyperbolic manifold, which is argued to describe the time slice of AdS3.

description: Information-theoretical quantities such as statistical distinguishability typically result from optimisations over all conceivable observables. Physical theories, however, are not generally considered valid for all mathematically allowed measurements. For instance, quantum field theories are not meant to be correct or even consistent at arbitrarily small lengthscales. A general way of limiting such an optimisation to certain observables is to first coarse-grain the states by a quantum channel. We show how to calculate contractive quantum information metrics on coarse-grained equilibrium states of free bosonic systems (Gaussian states), in directions generated by arbitrary perturbations of the Hamiltonian. As an example, we study the Klein-Gordon field. If the phase-space resolution is coarse compared to h-bar, the various metrics become equal and the calculations simplify. In that context, we compute the scale dependence of the distinguishability of the quartic interaction.

description: First reflections on the fourth Biennal of Landscape Architecture, after few days from the end of the meeting, in a dialogue with Jordi Bellmunt ,director of the Master Programme in Landscape Architecture and member of the Biennal Esecutive Committee. These considerations are anticipated by a brief history of the event. The results of Rosa Barba Prize, the projects chosen for the exposition and the finalist projects, the theme of this edition Landscape: product/production, all these things originates a reflection, by one side, on the value of research and innovation in the landscape project and, by the other side, on the importance of a spread good doing in the profession (good practices that can tent to standardization).

description: (Abridged*) Models of the young solar nebula assume a hot initial disk with most volatiles are in the gas phase. The question remains whether an actively accreting disk is warm enough to have gas-phase water up to 50 AU radius. No detailed studies have yet been performed on the extent of snowlines in an embedded accreting disk (Stage 0). Quantify the location of gas-phase volatiles in embedded actively accreting disk system. Two-dimensional physical and radiative transfer models have been used to calculate the temperature structure of embedded protostellar systems. Gas and ice abundances of H$_2$O, CO$_2$, and CO are calculated using the density-dependent thermal desorption formulation. The midplane water snowline increases from 3 to 55 AU for accretion rates through the disk onto the star between $10^{-9}$-$10^{-4} \ M_{\odot} \ {\rm yr^{-1}}$. CO$_2$ can remain in the solid phase within the disk for $\dot{M} \leq 10^{-5} \ M_{\odot} \ {\rm yr^{-1}}$ down to $\sim 20$ AU. Most of the CO is in the gas phase within an actively accreting disk independent of disk properties and accretion rate. The predicted optically thin water isotopolog emission is consistent with the detected H$_2^{18}$O emission toward the Stage 0 embedded young stellar objects, originating from both the disk and the warm inner envelope (hot core). An accreting embedded disk can only account for water emission arising from $R < 50$ AU, however, and the extent rapidly decreases for low accretion rates. Thus, the radial extent of the emission can be measured with ALMA observations and compared to this limit. Volatiles sublimate out to 50 AU in young disks and can reset the chemical content inherited from the envelope in periods of high accretion rates. A hot young solar nebula out to 30 AU can only have occurred during the deeply embedded Stage 0, not during the T-Tauri phase of our early solar system.

description: What we say generally follows distributional regularities, such as learning to avoid “the asleep dog” because we hear “the dog that’s asleep” in its place. However, not everyone follows such regularities. We report data on English monolinguals and Spanish-English bilinguals to examine how working memory mediates variation in a-adjective usage (asleep, afraid), which, unlike typical adjectives (sleepy, frightened), tend to resist attributive use. We replicate previous work documenting this tendency in a sentence production task. Critically, for all speakers, the tendency to use a-adjectives attributively or non-attributively was modulated by individual differences in working memory. But for bilinguals, a-adjective use was additionally modulated by an interaction between working memory and category fluency in the dominant language (English), revealing an interactive role of domain-general and language-related mechanisms that enable regulation of competing (i.e. attributive and non-attributive) alternatives. These results show how bilingualism reveals fundamental variation in language use, memory, and attention.
What We Do: An Examination of Black Cultural Expressions and White Consumption

description: Using the “Got to Give It Up”/“Blurred Lines” copyright cases of the 2010s as a point of departure, this thesis examines white appropriations of black music and associated images, as well as the ways that this appropriation both shapes white imaginaries of blackness and popularizes specific tropes of black culture. It will push for the consideration of power relationships within music copyright cases which concern potential acts of cultural appropriation by exploring aspects of the cases in several ways: 1) discussing blackface and (neo-)minstrelsy in their historical and contemporary contexts, 2) placing “Blurred Lines” into broader contexts of white appropriation in the United States and U.S. copyright law, and 3) using this framework to assess the appropriative qualities of “Blurred Lines.”
EVALUATION OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF A NUTRITION AND EXERCISE INTERVENTION IN A COMMUNITY-BASED SETTING FOR TEENAGERS WITH DOWN SYNDROME

description: Many interventions focusing on nutrition and exercise have been developed to address obesity and unhealthy lifestyles.  Fewer interventions have been developed for individuals with Down syndrome (DS) where the incidence of obesity is 10% higher than typically developing peers.  In the review of the evidence, health promotion programs designed to improve the health of children, young adults and adults with DS were identified.  The most effective components of these programs included interdisciplinary involvement, diverse exercise options, nutrition education and parent involvement.  One of the most comprehensive studies utilized components of a health education curriculum called Health U (Curtin et al., 2013, Bandini et al., 2012).  This program (adapted to a community setting) was implemented at the Triangle Down syndrome Network in Raleigh, North Carolina.  A Registered Nurse, special education teacher, and social worker coordinated the 6-week intervention.  The program focused on physical activity, nutrition and health education. The program evaluation of this health promotion program included caregiver reported program satisfaction and caregiver reported health behavior changes of participants.   These outcomes contributed to the evaluation of the feasibility of implementing the Health U program in a community-based setting.  This program was shown to be feasible and positively impact the program participants.  Overall, caregivers would recommend this program to others and were satisfied with the Health U program.  This provides support of the benefits of the Health U program for individuals with DS or ID in a community-based setting.

description: We have discovered a new H$_2$CO (formaldehyde) $1_{1,0}-1_{1,1}$ 4.82966 GHz maser in Galactic Center Cloud C, G0.38+0.04. At the time of acceptance, this is the eighth region containing an H$_2$CO maser detected in the Galaxy. Cloud C is one of only two sites of confirmed high-mass star formation along the Galactic Center Ridge, affirming that H$_2$CO masers are exclusively associated with high-mass star formation. This discovery led us to search for other masers, among which we found new SiO vibrationally excited masers, making this the fourth star-forming region in the Galaxy to exhibit SiO maser emission. Cloud C is also a known source of CH$_3$OH Class-II and OH maser emission. There are now two known SiO and H$_2$CO maser containing regions in the CMZ, compared to two and six respectively in the Galactic disk, while there is a relative dearth of H$_2$O and CH$_3$OH Class-II masers in the CMZ. SiO and H$_2$CO masers may be preferentially excited in the CMZ, perhaps due to higher gas-phase abundances from grain destruction and heating, or alternatively H$_2$O and CH$_3$OH maser formation may be suppressed in the CMZ. In any case, Cloud C is a new testing ground for understanding maser excitation conditions.

description: The debate around the management of public space has become, in the last decades, one fundamental theme of the debate around the city. Nevertheless, there is an imbalance between the consensus of many theoretical approaches and the application of these on projects and urban plans, except for some paradigmatic cases. Through the case of Seville, the article goes into some issues of systems of public spaces: its cartographic representation, its hierarchic structure or the value of understanding the real scope of each space. All from the perspective of the importance of integrating physical and human planning in the management of these spaces, whose last sense is the sociability.

A NEW TYPOLOGY OF MAGIC DOLLS

Year: 2019

description: In the past few decades, the study of magic in the Graeco-Roman world and the study of the material culture of magic practice have been on the rise. Dolls created for magical effect are described in the magical papyri and these dolls have been recovered in archaeological contexts. Here I propose a new typology for these magic dolls, or “voodoo dolls”, to provide a new approach inspired by the literary evidence and applied to the material evidence. My typology divides dolls according to their form, anthropomorphic or zoomorphic, and then their treatment and source of power, divine or persuasive. With this new typology, I endeavor to examine the employment of various dolls in ancient spells and problematize current approaches to the material.
