description: This dissertation tests the hypothesis introduced in Setterfield and Lovejoy (2006), which finds roots in Cornwall (1990, 1994), that the short-run tradeoff between inflation and unemployment can be improved through two routes: rising employment insecurity or a stronger social bargain between firms and their employees. Specifically, the sensitivity of employment insecurity and the social bargain will be tested in two mainstream Phillips curve models---one that econometrically implies a time-invariant NAIRU and one that explicitly measures a time-varying NAIRU. I improve upon the empirical methodology of Setterfield and Lovejoy by correcting for nonstationary data, which has non-trivial implications for their results; by developing better proxies for employment insecurity; and by creating an original and better proxy for the social bargain. To test for the robustness of my results, a wide range of sensitivity tests are performed by incorporating improved measures of labor market tightness, economic activity, inflation expectations, and supply shocks. In addition to the unemployment rate, four measures of the cost of job loss serve as alternative barometers of labor market pressure. Unemployment and output gaps---each calculated relative to a time-varying trend---are also used as measures of economic activity. Inflation expectations are proxied either by a one-year lag of inflation or by forecasts from the Livingston Survey. I also control for three supply shocks---the productivity-wage gap, food and energy prices, and non-petroleum import inflation---that have been identified as integral to the inflationary dynamic. An additional robustness check is performed by using both revised and real-time data. All models are tested for stability and inflation is forecasted for key out-of-sample periods. It is shown that my proxies for employment insecurity (the part-time share of employment) and the social bargain (the share of private employees covered by an employer-provided pension) are highly significant in mitigating inflation in the short run, can affect the value of the NAIRU in the long run, and are insensitive to all of the above specifications.

description: In this discussion paper we present a novel unsupervised segmentation procedure for music signals which relies on an explained variance criterion in the eigenspace of the constant-Q spectral domain. The procedure is used in the context of a spectral complexity reduction method which mitigates effects of cochlear hearing loss. It is compared to a segmentation based on equidistant boundaries. The results demonstrate that the proposed segmentation procedure gives an improvement in terms of signal- to-artefacts ratio in comparison to a segmentation based on equidistant boundaries.

Depression vulnerability as a moderator of cognitive behavior therapy in a smoking cessation treatment program
Creators: name: Kapson, Heather Schloss
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This study was conducted to determine if depression vulnerability is a moderator of smoking cessation treatment within a previously designed clinical trial analyzing the efficacy of group cognitive behavioral therapy relative to a time-equated psychoeducational comparison group. By analyzing a modest sample size (N = 100) comprised of both depression-vulnerable smokers and smokers not prone to depression, a moderator effect of depression proneness on efficacy of cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) was found. More specifically, the baseline self-reported depression vulnerability (sample median split on the pre-treatment Depression Proneness Inventory) moderated treatment response, such that depression-prone smokers had better post-treatment abstinence rates in CBT whereas less depression-prone smokers had better post-treatment abstinence rates in the comparison condition. Additional analyses were completed to see if there were any outcome differences in (a) cognitive coping skills, (b) acceptance, (c) dichotomous thinking, and (d) outcome expectancies for smoking between the treatment conditions among the entire randomized sample, the highly depression prone sample, and the low depression prone sample. Although this study found a moderator effect of depression vulnerability, the outcome differences across coping skills, acceptance, dichotomous thinking, and outcome expectancies suggest the need for further research. Improvement in compensatory coping skills adversely impacted smoking cessation outcomes for low depression prone participants and did not impact smoking outcomes for the highly depression-vulnerable. The decrease of dichotomous thinking in the highly depression prone also adversely impacted smoking cessation outcomes. Measures of acceptance did not appear to play a significant role in overall smoking cessation treatment outcome despite the level of depression vulnerability. Finally, both positive and negative expectations related to smoking decreased across the entire sample in both treatment conditions while those who were highly depression prone potentially benefited from internalizing negative consequences of smoking, which occurred more often in CBT relative to the Comparison condition. Although future research is needed to clarify these findings, practitioners may be able to enhance smoking cessation outcomes by measuring depression proneness at baseline and incorporating CBT mood-management interventions only for the highly depression-vulnerable.

description: Checklist of Anastrepha species of Bolivia
To compile a list of the Anastrepha species present in Bolivia, information was accumulated from three sources. Published information was acquired from a thorough review of the fruit fly literature. New data from survey projects in the Tropic of Cochabamba and Potrerillo del Guendá were incorporated. And new records from specimens in museum collections were also included.
The maps showing sampling locations (Figs. 1–3) were created using the software QGIS, version 2.18.28 using the Quick Map Service package with the ESGRI Satellite shape. The background map of Bolivia for the distribution maps (Figs. 4–5) was obtained from the GADM version 2.8 database, and the collection points were plotted with ArcGIS version 10.1. For species records for which geographic coordinates were unavailable from specimen data, the latitude and longitude of the collection sites were estimated using Google Earth ®.

description: Trichotillomania, characterized by the repetitive pulling out of one’s own hair leading to hair loss and functional impairment, has been documented in the medical literature since the 19th century, but has received scant research attention. Community prevalence studies suggest that trichotillomania is a common disorder with point prevalence estimate of 0.5% to 2.0%. Although recently grouped with OCD in the DSM-5, clinicians need to be aware that trichotillomania and OCD may have less in common than originally thought. In fact, approaches to treating trichotillomania, which include habit reversal therapy and medication (n-acetyl cysteine or olanzapine), are quite different from those used to treat OCD; and some first-line treatments used for OCD appear ineffective for trichotillomania. Based on our clinical experience and research findings, the article recommends several management approaches to trichotillomania.

description: Lampung script is a local script from Lampung province Indonesia. The script is a non-cursive script which is written from left to right. It consists of 20 characters. It also has 7 unique diacritics that can be put on top, bottom, or right of the character. Considering this position, the number of diacritics augments into 12 diacritics. This research is devoted to recognize Lampung characters along with diacritics. The research aim to attract more concern on this script especially from Indonesian researchers. Beside, it is also an endeavor to preserve the script from extinction. The work of recognition is administered by multi steps processing system the so called Lampung handwritten character recognition framework. It is started by a preprocessing of a document image as an input. In the preprocessing stage, the input should be distinguished between characters and diacritics. The character is classified by a multistage scheme. The first stage is to classify 18 character classes and the second stage is to classify special characters which consist of two components. The number of classes after the second stage classification becomes 20 class. The diacritic is classified into 7 classes. These diacritics should be associated to the characters to form compound characters. The association is performed in two steps. Firstly, the diacritic detects some characters nearby. The character with closest distance to that diacritic is selected as the association. This is completed until all diacritics get their characters. Since every diacritic already has one-to-one association to a character, the pivot element is switched to a character in the second step. Each character collects all its diacritics as a composition of the compound characters. This framework has been evaluated on Lampung dataset created and annotated during this work and is hosted at the Department of Computer Science, TU Dortmund, Germany. The proposed framework achieved 80.64% recognition rate on this data.

description: In this thesis we introduce a robust optimization approach which is based on a binary min-max-min problem. The so called Min-max-min Robust Optimization extends the classical min-max approach by calculating k different solutions instead of one. Usually in robust optimization we consider problems whose problem parameters can be uncertain. The basic idea is to define an uncertainty set U which contains all relevant problem parameters, called scenarios. The objective is then to calculate a solution which is feasible for every scenario in U and which optimizes the worst objective value over all scenarios in U. As a special case of the K-adaptability approach for robust two-stage problems, the min-max-min robust optimization approach aims to calculate k different solutions for the underlying combinatorial problem, such that, considering the best of these solutions in each scenario, the worst objective value over all scenarios is optimized. This idea can be modeled as a min-max-min problem. In this thesis we analyze the complexity of the afore mentioned problem for convex and for discrete uncertainty sets U. We will show that under further assumptions the problem is as easy as the underlying combinatorial problem for convex uncertainty sets if the number of calculated solutions is greater than the dimension of the problem. Additionally we present a practical exact algorithm to solve the min-max-min problem for any combinatorial problem, given by a deterministic oracle. On the other hand we prove that if we fix the number of solutions k, then the problem is NP-hard even for polyhedral uncertainty sets and the unconstrained binary problem. For the case when the number of calculated solutions is lower or equal to the dimension we present a heuristic algorithm which is based on the exact algorithm above. Both algorithms are tested and analyzed on random instances of the knapsack problem, the vehicle routing problem and the shortest path problem. For discrete uncertainty sets we show that the min-max-min problem is NP-hard for a selection of combinatorial problems. Nevertheless we prove that it can be solved in pseudopolynomial time or admits an FPTAS if the min-max problem can be solved in pseudopolynomial or admits an FPTAS respectively.
Stealing their thunder: The effectiveness of military force in deterring terrorism

description: Since 9/11, terrorism has received much attention from the media and, subsequently, the public. Although this attention is new, terrorism has been in existence for over 2000 years (Hoffman, 1998). The attacks in 2001 did change the way the world views terrorism, however, and also increased the tempo of counter-terrorism efforts. Aggressive counter-terrorism policies have now been in use for nearly a decade; therefore, it is imperative that their effectiveness be assessed. The use of military force is the principal method employed by many nations to combat and deter terrorists, yet this method may prove to be a greater liability than benefit (Eppright, 1996). Despite their endeavor to reduce terrorism using a deterrence approach, contemporary military force strategies, I argue, have incited greater levels of terrorism. In order to assess military force as a strategy against terrorism, this dissertation conducts three analyses that systematically progress the evaluation. The first of these analyses is focused on identifying and measuring the relationship between terrorism and military force using a cross-section of data. The second analyses further the investigation by directly addressing the endogeneity between terrorism and military force through employing a vector auto-regression model and testing for causation using one of the largest datasets of its kind. Based on these results, the final chapter of analyses develops an instrumental variable in an effort to ascertain the quantifiable impact of military force on terrorism. The three analyses used in this dissertation present findings far more valuable than each analysis alone. Collectively, they offer insight into how effective military force is in combating terrorism. Findings suggest that the use of military force is most likely a poor choice to save lives from the hands of terrorism. It increases the likelihood of terrorist incidents and, although capable of saving lives, it is a very expensive method for this purpose. Resources could be allocated to more cost effective methods to save lives and property.

Stealing their thunder: The effectiveness of military force in deterring terrorism
Creators: name: Asthappan, Jibey
Publisher: name: American University

description: Since 9/11, terrorism has received much attention from the media and, subsequently, the public. Although this attention is new, terrorism has been in existence for over 2000 years (Hoffman, 1998). The attacks in 2001 did change the way the world views terrorism, however, and also increased the tempo of counter-terrorism efforts. Aggressive counter-terrorism policies have now been in use for nearly a decade; therefore, it is imperative that their effectiveness be assessed. The use of military force is the principal method employed by many nations to combat and deter terrorists, yet this method may prove to be a greater liability than benefit (Eppright, 1996). Despite their endeavor to reduce terrorism using a deterrence approach, contemporary military force strategies, I argue, have incited greater levels of terrorism. In order to assess military force as a strategy against terrorism, this dissertation conducts three analyses that systematically progress the evaluation. The first of these analyses is focused on identifying and measuring the relationship between terrorism and military force using a cross-section of data. The second analyses further the investigation by directly addressing the endogeneity between terrorism and military force through employing a vector auto-regression model and testing for causation using one of the largest datasets of its kind. Based on these results, the final chapter of analyses develops an instrumental variable in an effort to ascertain the quantifiable impact of military force on terrorism. The three analyses used in this dissertation present findings far more valuable than each analysis alone. Collectively, they offer insight into how effective military force is in combating terrorism. Findings suggest that the use of military force is most likely a poor choice to save lives from the hands of terrorism. It increases the likelihood of terrorist incidents and, although capable of saving lives, it is a very expensive method for this purpose. Resources could be allocated to more cost effective methods to save lives and property.

description: Screening test was conducted on 54genotypes of tomato to analyze the effect of heat stress and categorize them as heat tolerant or heat susceptible ones. Seedlings were grown at temperatures of 28/22oC day/night. Four weeks after sowing, plants were exposed to high temperatures of 40/32oC day/night for one week. Data for various morphological (root and shoot length, root and shoot fresh and dry weight, number of leaves) and physiological parameters (chlorophyll contents, sub-stomatal CO2, transpiration rate, stomatal conductance, photosynthetic rate, water use efficiency and leaf temperature) were recorded. Heat stress had a negative effect on all physiological and morphological processes of the genotypes. However, “Parter Improved”, “Legend” and “Roma” were the most tolerant genotypes whereas “Grus Chovka”, “Nepoli”, “Tima France”, “Kaldera” and “Cold Set” were susceptible to heat stress.

Application of infrared spectrometry and molecular modeling to investigate the presence of homeopathic water clathrates
Creators: name: Chae, Changyu Jake
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Homeopathy has been a controversial and mythical alternative medical treatment, the mechanism of which has not been clearly identified. The treatment is prepared by extreme dilution of the tincture (solute), the agent causing the disease, in solvents accompanied by vigorous succussion (violent shaking). The two major controversies of the treatment are: (1) The use of the solute that causes the disease as a remedy, and (2) the final concentration containing virtually no solute. The limited number of attempts at an empirical-physical experiment proposes that the formation of water clathrates is the most prominently-accepted postulate. The tincture is believed to confer its information onto the clathrates so that the prepared treatment without the presence of the tincture cures disease. Logical elucidation of the role of the tincture is the major obstacle in elaborating homeopathic phenomena. This research will utilize the tools, such as the fourier transform infrared spectrometer, density measurement, and molecular modeling, to illustrate the following: (1) The detection of spectral differences present in clathrates; (2) the role of different hydrogen bond strengths in the clathrates' role of therapeutics; (3) the lack of therapeutic functional difference in the absence of tincture and (4) an active IR wave number calculation using a molecular modeling computational tool to compare with empirical data. This research provides evidence of a lack of clathrate formation with either fourier transform infrared spectra or density/velocity of sound measurements. However at the measurement temperature of 25°C, there were some indications that homeopathic techniques do create differences in the structure of the prepared tinctures: (1) Higher intensities of absorption occur in positive controls (succussed) of homeopathic samples compared to negative control (unsuccussed) samples, (2) the increase in intensities occurred in the homeopathic tincture samples, (cadmium chloride), while other samples, (1, 4 dioxane, water for injection, and deuterium oxide), did not show any increase in intensity, and (3) when the increase in intensities were demonstrated in cadmium chloride positive control samples, higher potency samples (lower concentration) were observed to absorb at higher intensities than lower potency samples (higher concentrations).
