description: Interactions between institutions and the actors embedded within them are a key part of understanding how innovations can be commercialized and adopted in complex, heavily institutionalized sectors. My dissertation begins with a cross-sector investigation on institutions before focusing on the healthcare sector, an example of a highly institutionalized sector. It is comprised of three papers investigating the ways actors – such as entrepreneurs and staff in healthcare service providers – work within, around, with and against the institutions that facilitate and hinder innovation commercialization and adoption. The first paper is a meta-analysis on the influence of macro-level factors on the entrepreneurial intention-behavior relationship: a key step to commercializing an innovation. We demonstrated that macro-level factors had little to no influence on the translation of entrepreneurial intention to behavior and proposed that aspiring entrepreneurs can overcome resource barriers at the national-level via interpersonal sources at the meso- and micro-level. In the second paper, a case study was conducted on a healthcare innovation ecosystem with a mandate to support the innovation commercialization of entrepreneurs. It shows how entrepreneurs attempt to change the conditions and institutions of the innovation ecosystem through interactions with innovation ecosystem leaders within their reach, shifting the trajectory of the innovation ecosystem. For the third paper, I developed a qualitative case study on a large healthcare service provider in a public health system to describe how actors engage in institutional work to overcome innovation adoption barriers. I show how agents further embed themselves and their work in existing institutions to legitimize innovations for adoption by end-users. I also depict how agents leverage organizational processes and values to change institutional barriers in the process of facilitating innovation adoption.

description: Despite increasing interest in the evolution of inhibitory control, few studies have examined the validity of widespread testing paradigms, the long-term repeatability and the heritability of this cognitive ability in the wild. We investigated these aspects in the inhibitory control performance of wild toutouwai (North Island robin; Petroica longipes), using detour and reversal learning tasks. We assessed convergent validity by testing whether individual performance correlated across detour and reversal learning tasks. We then further evaluated task validity by examining whether individual performance was confounded by non-cognitive factors. We tested a subset of subjects twice in each task to estimate the repeatability of performance across a 1-year period. Finally, we used a population pedigree to estimate the heritability of task performance. Individual performance was unrelated across detour and reversal learning tasks, indicating that these measured different cognitive abilities. Task performance was not influenced by body condition, boldness or prior experience, and showed moderate between-year repeatability. Yet despite this individual consistency, we found no evidence that task performance was heritable. Our findings suggest that detour and reversal learning tasks measure consistent individual differences in distinct forms of inhibitory control in toutouwai, but this variation may be environmentally determined rather than genetic.

description: In this study, Tetrahydrofuran (THF) hydrates were formed in-situ in the Zetasizer Nano ZS90. With various concentrations of SDS, we attempted to characterize the SDS adsorption on the surface of the hydrate particles. In doing so, we tried to correlate the adsorption of SDS to THF hydrate induction times with respect to SDS concentration (0 – 3.47 mM), to determine whether the fast nucleation of THF hydrates is due to the adsorption of SDS. The measured ζ-potential for pure THF hydrates was -100 ± 10 mV, indicating anion adsorption. An adsorption curve was observed where there is saturation leveling. Correlating this data to the hydrate induction times, we see that when the saturation level is reached, a significant reduction in induction time can be seen.

description: The classical theorem by Pitman states that a Brownian motion minus twice its running infimum enjoys the Markov property. On the one hand, Biane understood that Pitman's theorem is intimately related to the representation theory of the quantum group $\mathcal{U}_q\left( \mathfrak{sl}_2 \right)$, in the so-called crystal regime $q \rightarrow 0$. On the other hand, Bougerol and Jeulin showed the appearance of exactly the same Pitman transform in the infinite curvature limit $r \rightarrow \infty$ of a Brownian motion on the hyperbolic space $\mathbb{H}^3 = SL_2(\mathbb{C})/SU_2$. This paper aims at understanding this phenomenon by giving a unifying point of view. In order to do so, we exhibit a presentation $\mathcal{U}_q^\hbar\left( \mathfrak{sl}_2 \right)$ of the Jimbo-Drinfeld quantum group which isolates the role of curvature $r$ and that of the Planck constant $\hbar$. The simple relationship between parameters is $q=e^{-r}$. The semi-classical limits $\hbar \rightarrow 0$ are the Poisson-Lie groups dual to $SL_2(\mathbb{C})$ with varying curvatures $r \in \mathbb{R}_+$. We also construct classical and quantum random walks, drawing a full picture which includes Biane's quantum walks and the construction of Bougerol-Jeulin. Taking the curvature parameter $r$ to infinity leads indeed to the crystal regime at the level of representation theory ($\hbar>0$) and to the Bougerol-Jeulin construction in the classical world ($\hbar=0$). All these results are neatly in accordance with the philosophy of Kirillov's orbit method.

description: Understanding the relationship between Human Resource Management (HRM) and the performance of organisations has been an ongoing area of interest within management fields. Important in this domain has been ‘the black box’, the unknown construct of connections between HRM and performance, an area which has remained unable to be fully ‘illuminated’ by researchers. The significance of this being, that in increasingly competitive local, national and global markets, it is critically important for organisations to efficiently and effectively manage all forms of resources ’ involved in their operations. Here, human resources play an intrinsically pivotal role. To explore ‘the black box’, and with a refinement to the HRM/performance relationship, this research was driven by an overarching research question which was: What relationship/s did HRM have with employee performance? Focusing on employee performance allowed for the broad performance construct to be more discernable, providing an opportunity to better consider its potential relationships with HRM. To further guide this exploration, research objectives were developed to address unresolved needs in this field to: better conceptualise HRM and employee performance, develop a theoretical model which would assist in explaining the HRM/performance relationship, posit an explanation of the resolution to ‘the black box’, posit an effective methodology with which to research allied phenomena...

description: Pig weaning cause transient stress and reduction of feed intake and intestinal villi. Providing feed with solid texture could stimulate explorative interest, relieving weaning drawbacks and improving welfare. Feed blocks (0.8 kg each) were produced and 8 formulas were preliminarily tested for consumption on a pig farm (ingredients: wheat by-products, dried milk whey, calcium carbonate, oil, molasses). Feed consumption and growth within 3 days after weaning were assessed on penned litters fed the normal feed ad libitum, and one of the 3 best block formulas or a control (wooden pieces). Block consumption was relevant, but growth and carcase quality on a sub-sample reared to commercial maturation were not changed. These formulations were also tested against control on 72 weaned pigs on which behaviour related to feeding and social activities was evaluated by means of surveys using cameras. After 4 days, pigs were slaughtered and the small intestines were sampled for mucosa morphology. In general, block consumption was additive with the consumption of normal feed. Growth was not affected. One formulation (major ingredients: wheat middlings, cane molasses, milk whey and coconut oil) increased the mucosal surface area of the intestinal villi by 7.9% (p p Ingredient composition may influence the disappearance of the feed block, as a variable combination of disaggregation and intake by the piglets.The formulation based on wheat middlings, cane molasses, milk whey and coconut oil may improve growth and favour better welfareBlock supplementation may increase the absorbent surface of the proximal jejunum.

description: Obesity has been linked to Osteoarthritis (OA) through excessive joint loading and the associated mechanical stress on weight-bearing joints. However, the increased prevalence of OA in non-weight-bearing joints of people with obesity suggests a more complex etiology for obesity-induced OA than simply added joint loading. This thesis was aimed to examine the development of OA in the knee and shoulder joints of male and female Sprague-Dawley rats and the potential use of prebiotic fibre supplementation in protecting against or slowing the progression of OA. This study is divided into three parts: Part 1: We developed a novel scoring system to characterize OA-related degeneration, distinguishing it from spontaneous bone lesions observed in knees of male Sprague-Dawley rats. We found that spontaneous bone lesions could obscure the effects of diet-induced obesity models when OA was assessed using the classical scoring system. The new scoring method provides a reliable and reproducible approach to differentiate classical joint degeneration from spontaneous bone lesions. Part 2: We evaluated the effects of the high-fat/high-sucrose (HFS) diet on mesenteric fat, the infrapatellar fat pad (IFP) of the knee, systemic inflammation, local inflammation in the knee, and OA development of the knee in female Sprague-Dawley rats. Our findings indicated that mesenteric fat and the IFP were protected from inflammation associated with the HFS diet in female rats, highlighting sex-based differences in dietary responses. However, cartilage degeneration and subchondral bone lesions were more pronounced in the HFS group compared to chow group control rats, suggesting that the mechanisms underlying OA development and progression in female rats may differ from those observed in male rats. Phase 3: We quantified the effects of a HFS diet and prebiotic fibre supplementation on shoulder joint health in male and female Sprague-Dawley rats using the developed scoring system. Unlike knee joints, shoulder joints in both male and female rats appeared protected against joint degeneration when exposed to a HFS obesity-inducing diet. Furthermore, fibre supplementation was more effective in males than in females, suggesting that fibre may have sex-specific effects on the gut microbiota.

description: The condition of self-adjointness ensures that the eigenvalues of a Hamiltonian are real and bounded below. Replacing this condition by the weaker condition of ${\cal PT}$ symmetry, one obtains new infinite classes of complex Hamiltonians whose spectra are also real and positive. These ${\cal PT}$ symmetric theories may be viewed as analytic continuations of conventional theories from real to complex phase space. This paper describes the unusual classical and quantum properties of these theories.

description: The Hudson Bay Railway (HBR) has faced increasing instability and rising maintenance costs due to permafrost thaw, a process accelerated by climate change over the past three decades. Geotechnical investigations have identified the Herchmer Subdivision as the most severely impacted area, with historical and contemporary data revealing that previously stable ground is becoming unstable and that the permafrost boundary is shifting northward. As permafrost degradation continues, there is a pressing need for accurate predictions of thaw-related hazards to support infrastructure resilience and maintenance planning along the HBR. To address this challenge, we employed Multiscale Geographically Weighted Regression (MGWR) to identify the key variables contributing to sinkhole formation along the railway. This spatial modeling tool enables the assessment of multiple climatic and ecological factors influencing permafrost degradation while determining their statistical significance. In our MGWR model, sinkholes—measured by the number of surface depressions along the railway—served as the dependent variable. In contrast, the independent variables included ground ice abundance, snow depth, surface temperature, and organic carbon content. Regression coefficients derived from the MGWR model were used to calculate variable weights, which were then applied in a weighted sum analysis in ArcGIS to generate a hazard map. This hazard map incorporates projected datasets for the 2030–2039 period, offering insights into the evolving risk landscape along the railway. By illustrating the shifting permafrost boundaries, the map enhances our understanding of the railway’s vulnerability to damage caused by the thawing permafrost. The findings from this study will serve as a crucial tool for guiding resource allocation and mitigation strategies, ensuring the long-term stability of the HBR in the face of climate change.

description: Farming suffers from a crisis based on lack of profitability. This situation is more relevant in small farms. Farmers have implemented local breeding programmes that have shown good results in terms of biodiversity preservation, increase of technological innovation and improvements in farm’s viability. The objective of this study is to compare technological characteristics among groups of farms, according to their breeding programmes and the viability of dairy sheep system. Furthermore, the role of technologies by means of a canonical discriminant model was analysed. The information from 157 dairy sheep farms in Castilla La Mancha, Spain was used. Technologies were grouped in six technological areas: Management, animal feeding, animal health and biosecurity, land use, milking equipment and dairy, reproduction and genetic. Four canonical discriminant models have been used to classify farms according to technological indicators [Model 1], structural [Model 2], productive [Model 3] and a global model including all the variables (18) [Model 4], by considering the genetic programme and their viability. Afterwards, the relationship among the discriminated groups was analysed using cluster analysis. The canonical model built according to the set of technologies classified a 69.43% of farms [Model 1]. Therefore, the farms that implement a breeding programme (BP) increase the likelihood of viability. First, BP requires higher levels of technological innovation in management and genetics-reproduction. Then, such advances should be implemented in milking equipment and animal health and biosecurity. To conclude, BP is a key factor in the success of technological adoption.HighlightsTechnology adoption plays a strategical role in sheep production systems.Breeding program promotes higher global technological level.Likelihood of viability in dairy sheep farms increases with implementation of a breeding program.

description: Quantum simulators are engineered devices controllably designed to emulate complex and classically intractable quantum systems. A key challenge is to certify whether the simulator truly mimics the Hamiltonian of interest. This certification step requires the comparison of a simulator's output to a known answer, which is usually limited to small systems due to the exponential scaling of the Hilbert space. Here, in the context of Fermi-Hubbard spin-based analogue simulators, we propose a modular many-body spin to charge conversion scheme that scales linearly with both the system size and the number of low-energy eigenstates to discriminate. Our protocol is based on the global charge state measurement of a 1D spin chain performed at different detuning potentials along the chain. In the context of semiconductor-based systems, we identify realistic conditions for detuning the chain adiabatically in order to avoid state mixing while preserving charge coherence. Large simulators with vanishing energy gaps, including 2D arrays, can be certified block-by-block with a number of measurements scaling only linearly with the system size.

Hot White Dwarf Donors in Ultracompact X-Ray Binaries

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: The discovery of two accreting millisecond X-ray pulsars in binaries with 43 minute orbital periods allows for a new probe of the donor's structure. For XTE J1751-305, only a hot white dwarf (WD) can fill the Roche Lobe. A cold He WD is a possible solution for XTE J0929-314, though I will show that evolutionary arguments make a hot WD more likely. In addition to being larger than the T=0 models, these finite entropy, low-mass (<0.03 solar masses) WDs have a minimum mass for a fixed core temperature. If they remain hot as they lose mass and expand, they can ``evaporate'' to leave an isolated millisecond radio pulsar. They also adiabatically expand upon mass loss at a rate faster than the growth of the Roche radius if the angular momentum deposited in the disk is not returned to the donor. If the timescale of the resulting runaway mass transfer is shorter than the viscous timescale in the outer disk, then the mass transfer instability of Ruderman and Shaham for He WDs would be realized. However, my estimates of these timescales still makes the instability unlikely for adiabatic responses. I close by noting the possible impact of finite T WDs on our understanding of AM CVn binaries.

description: Similarity reductions and new exact solutions are obtained for a nonlinear diffusion equation. These are obtained by using the classical symmetry group and reducing the partial differential equation to various ordinary differential equations. For the equations so obtained, first integrals are deduced which consequently give rise to explicit solutions. Potential symmetries, which are realized as local symmetries of a related auxiliary system, are obtained. For some special nonlinearities new symmetry reductions and exact solutions are derived by using the nonclassical method.

description: The three papers in this dissertation apply quasi-experimental and experimental methods for causal inference to the fields of health and development economics. The first paper exploits a plausibly exogenous reduction in the supply of health care in New York City caused by an historic storm to separately identify the impacts of health care access, weather shocks, and their interaction on chronic conditions. The second paper investigates how formal credit, informal risk sharing, and insurance interact. I exploit a natural experiment wherein tens of thousands of microfinance borrowers across rural Haiti received a quasi-random value of insurance benefit in the aftermath of catastrophic hurricanes. I show that subsequent demand for credit is increasing in the value of insurance, that insurance has decreasing marginal effects on the demand for credit, and that formal insurance increases the fungibility of the informal social ties underpinning risk sharing arrangements. Additionally, I present evidence suggestive of collusion in peer-based claims processing as a function of informal financial proximity. Finally, the third paper reports results from a cluster-randomized trial in rural Haiti that I led. It provides the first causal evidence that delivering basic health goods through microfinance institutions, which offer a platform that reaches 200 million rural poor households globally, is clinically effective.

description: We study period doublings in $N$ $(N=2,3,4, \dots)$ coupled parametrically forced damped pendulums by varying $A$ (the amplitude of the external driving force) and $c$ (the strength of coupling). With increasing $A$, the stationary point undergoes multiple period-doubling transitions to chaos. We first investigate the two-coupled case with $N=2$. For each period-doubling transition to chaos, the critical set consists of an infinity of critical line segments and the zero-coupling critical point lying on the line $A=A^*_i$ in the $A-c$ plane, where $A^*_i$ is the $i$th transition point for the uncoupled case. We find three kinds of critical behaviors, depending on the position on the critical set. They are the same as those for the coupled one-dimensional maps. Finally, the results of the $N=2$ case are extended to many-coupled cases with $N \geq 3$, in which the critical behaviors depend on the range of coupling.

description: Functional renormalization group (FRG) has become a diverse and powerful tool to derive effective low-energy scattering vertices of interacting many-body systems. Starting from a free expansion point of the action, the flow of the RG parameter Λ allows us to trace the evolution of the effective one- and two- particle vertices towards low energies by taking into account the vertex corrections between all parquet channels in an unbiased fashion. In this work, we generalize the expansion point at which the diagrammatic resummation procedure is initiated from a free UV limit to a cluster product state. We formulate a cluster FRG scheme where the noninteracting building blocks (i.e., decoupled spin clusters) are treated exactly, and the intercluster couplings are addressed via RG. As a benchmark study, we apply our cluster FRG scheme to the spin-12 bilayer Heisenberg model (BHM) on a square lattice where the neighboring sites in the two layers form the individual two-site clusters. Comparing with existing numerical evidence for the BHM, we obtain reasonable findings for the spin susceptibility, the spin-triplet excitation energy, and quasiparticle weight even in coupling regimes close to antiferromagnetic order. The concept of cluster FRG promises applications to a large class of interacting electron systems.

We use this to prove that the group H(X) is topologically simple and minimal, in the sense that it does not admit a strictly coarser Hausdorff group topology.

However, the company NDI (Northern Digital Inc., Waterloo, ON, Canada) recently introduced the Planar 10-11 FG, which combines a compact construction (97mm x 112mm x 31mm) with a relatively large, cylindrical tracking volume (diameter: 340mm, height: 340mm). Using the standardized assessment protocol of Hummel et al., the FG was tested with regard to its tracking accuracy and to its robustness with respect to external sources of disturbance. The mean positional error (5cm distance metric according to Hummel protocol) was 0.59mm, with a mean jitter of 0.26mm in the standard setup. The mean orientational error was found to be 0.10°. The highest positional error (4.82mm) due to metallic sources of disturbance was caused by the steel SST 303. In contrast, steel SST 416 caused the lowest positional error (0.10mm). Overall, the Planar 10-11 FG tends to achieve better tracking accuracy results compared to other NDI FGs. Due to its compact construction and portability, the FG could contribute to increased clinical use of EM tracking systems.

description: The internal energy of real gas includes kinetic energy and potential energy. It is assumed that kinetic energy is only concerned with temperature and is independent of volume and density. In gravitational field, real gas obey static equilibrium and convection balance. The two equations contain gravity, molecular potential energy and equation of state. The two equations are combined to remove gravity, and the relationship between the equation of state and potential energy is obtained. According to the relation, this paper calculates the specific heat of HFC125, sound velocity virial coefficients of R143a, HFC227ea from the state equation. The three results are in accordance with the experiment.
Interferometric Observations of the Nuclear Region of Arp220 at Submillimeter Wavelengths

description: We report the first submillimeter interferometric observations of an ultraluminous infrared galaxy. We observed Arp220 in the CO J=3-2 line and 342GHz continuum with the single baseline CSO-JCMT interferometer consisting of the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory (CSO) and the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT). Models were fit to the measured visibilities to constrain the structure of the source. The morphologies of the CO J=3-2 line and 342GHz continuum emission are similar to those seen in published maps at 230 and 110GHz. We clearly detect a binary source separated by about 1 arcsec in the east-west direction in the 342GHz continuum. The CO J=3-2 visibility amplitudes, however, indicate a more complicated structure, with evidence for a compact binary at some velocities and rather more extended structure at others. Less than 30% of the total CO J=3-2 emission is detected by the interferometer, which implies the presence of significant quantities of extended gas. We also obtained single-dish CO J=2-1, CO J=3-2 and HCN J=4-3 spectra. The HCN J=4-3 spectrum, unlike the CO spectra, is dominated by a single redshifted peak. The HCN J=4-3/CO J=3-2, HCN J=4-3/HCN J=1-0 and CO J=3-2/2-1 line ratios are larger in the redshifted (eastern) source, which suggests that the two sources may have different physical conditions. This result might be explained by the presence of an intense starburst that has begun to deplete or disperse the densest gas in the western source, while the eastern source harbors undispersed high density gas.

description: PhysPort (www.physport.org) has become the go-to place for physics faculty to learn to apply research-based teaching and assessment in their classrooms. Usage has doubled every two years since the site was released in 2011, and 20% of all U.S. physics faculty are now verified educators on PhysPort. The lead author conceived of PhysPort in 2007 after meeting many physics faculty interested in incorporating results of physics education research (PER) in their classrooms but with no idea where to start. At the time, most PER results were buried in research journals not accessible to ordinary physics educators, and there was no central place to learn about results and implications for classroom practice. Throughout its development, PhysPort has been based on user research: we interview physics faculty about their needs, design the site based on those needs, and conduct usability testing to see how we meet those needs. PhysPort is a joint product of the American Association of Physics Teachers (AAPT) and Kansas State University (K-State), with contributions from many universities, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), and a library within the ComPADRE.org digital library. The site (originally called the PER User's Guide) was first funded by an NSF grant in 2009 and released in November 2011. This article presents an overview of resources on PhysPort, discussion of research and development of the site, and data on the continuing growth of site usage.

Resonances, Radiation Damping and Instability in Hamiltonian Nonlinear Wave Equations

description: We consider a class of nonlinear Klein-Gordon equations which are Hamiltonian and are perturbations of linear dispersive equations. The unperturbed dynamical system has a bound state, a spatially localized and time periodic solution. We show that, for generic nonlinear Hamiltonian perturbations, all small amplitude solutions decay to zero as time tends to infinity at an anomalously slow rate. In particular, spatially localized and time-periodic solutions of the linear problem are destroyed by generic nonlinear Hamiltonian perturbations via slow radiation of energy to infinity. These solutions can therefore be thought of as metastable states. The main mechanism is a nonlinear resonant interaction of bound states (eigenfunctions) and radiation (continuous spectral modes), leading to energy transfer from the discrete to continuum modes. This is in contrast to the KAM theory in which appropriate nonresonance conditions imply the persistence of invariant tori. A hypothesis ensuring that such a resonance takes place is a nonlinear analogue of the Fermi golden rule, arising in the theory of resonances in quantum mechanics. The techniques used involve: (i) a time-dependent method developed by the authors for the treatment of the quantum resonance problem and perturbations of embedded eigenvalues, (ii) a generalization of the Hamiltonian normal form appropriate for infinite dimensional dispersive systems and (iii) ideas from scattering theory. The arguments are quite general and we expect them to apply to a large class of systems which can be viewed as the interaction of finite dimensional and infinite dimensional dispersive dynamical systems, or as a system of particles coupled to a field.
