Am I My Brother’s Peacekeeper?: Strategic Cultures and Change Among Major Troop Contributors to United Nations Peacekeeping

description: With 16 ongoing peacekeeping operations currently deploying almost 100,000 troops, United Nations peacekeeping is the largest single source of multilateral military intervention in conflict zones. Because UN peacekeeping is entirely dependent on voluntary contributions from Member States, there a pressing need to better understand why nations contribute peacekeeping troops in the first place. Individual national rationales for peacekeeping contribution vary significantly, and incentives may include regional hegemonic aspirations, positive economic benefits from peacekeeping, desiring a seat at the Security Council, or a combination of any number of incentives. This has made it difficult to provide a generalized explanation about why states provide peacekeepers. This thesis proposes a model for understanding the peacekeeping contribution issue under the lens of strategic culture. The strategic culture approach focuses on elite beliefs about the objectives of the use of force, with national factors such a geography, history, domestic politics, and bureaucracy forming into cohesive and competing norms about the purpose of the military. Drawing on the fourth generation of strategic culture literature, this dissertation argues that strategic culture serves as an intermediary variable that can be measured by discourse analysis to help understand changes in specific strategic behaviour, such as military peacekeeping contributions. By understanding the dynamic way that a country views the use of force – in short, by understanding how a country views its military as being useful in achieving policy goals -- we work towards a better understanding of why a country may contribute troops to United Nations peacekeeping.
To the Hilbert class field from the hypergeometric modular function

description: In this article we make an explicit approach to the higher degree case of the problem: " For a given $CM$ field $M$, construct its maximal abelian extension $C(M)$ (i.e. the Hilbert class field) by the adjunction of special values of certain modular functions" in a restricted case. We make our argument based on Shimura's main result on the complex multiplication theory of his article in 1967. His main result is constructed for a quaternion algebra $B$ over a totally real number field $F$. We determine the modular function which gives the canonical model for the case $B$ is coming from an arithmetic triangle group. That is our main theorem. And we make an explicit case-study for $B$ corresponding to the triangle group $Δ(3,3,5)$. The corresponding canonical model appears as a restriction of the Appell's hypergeometric modular function on a 2-dimensional hyperball to a hyperplane section. That is a modular function for the family of the Koike pentagonal curves $w^5=z(z-1)(z-λ_1)(z-λ_2)$ with two parameters $λ_1,λ_2$. We use the result of K. Koike in 2003 to get an theta representation of the canonical model function. By using this expression, we show several examples of the Hilbert class fields of the $CM$ fields those are embedded in the above $B$.

description: This project is an evaluation of the Catch Up® Literacy intervention delivered by foster carers and kinship carers in their homes to children in Years 5 or 6. The evaluation is a pilot study including an implementation and process evaluation, and an assessment of the suitability of the proposed outcome measures. The intervention will be delivered between November 2021 and May 2022. The final evaluation report will be submitted in Spring 2023. Catch Up® Literacy is a reading intervention typically delivered by teaching assistants or teachers in schools. For the purposes of this study any child currently being looked after by a foster carer or kinship carer is eligible to take part as long as they are in Year 5 or 6. The main aim of the pilot study is to establish the feasibility of delivering Catch Up® Literacy in the home rather than in school, and to test the feasibility of conducting child-level reading assessments online. The study will use surveys and interview data to assess feasibility of delivery. A standardised reading assessment is suggested as the primary outcome measure. Analysis of the interviews will be carried out using a ‘framework’ approach (adapted from Ritchie and Lewis, 2003) and search for themes and messages based around the research questions. Descriptive analysis will be used for survey data. Analysis of the reading assessment will involve comparing the scores of the sample against standardised norms and looking for floor and ceiling effects.

description: We address some key conditions under which many-body lattice models, intended mainly as simulated condensed matter systems, can be investigated via immersed, fully controllable quantum objects, namely quantum probes. First, we present a protocol that, for a certain class of many-body systems, allows for full momentum resolved spectroscopy using one single probe. Furthermore, we demonstrate how one can extract the two-point correlations using two entangled probes. We apply our theoretical proposal to two well-known exactly solvable lattice models, a 1D Kitaev chain and 2D superfluid Bose-Hubbard model, and show its accuracy as well as its robustness against external noise.
Culturally Safe Falls Prevention Programs for Inuvialuit Elders

description: In Canada, falls are one of the leading causes of injury and deaths for seniors. These types of injuries can typically be avoided through falls prevention programs, and past studies suggest that these health services have significantly reduced seniors’ falls risk and rates in Canada. Despite the abundance of falls prevention research, practices and programs available in the country, Aboriginal Elders remain overrepresented in fall-related injury and fatality rates. The elevated rates of falls for Aboriginal Elders indicate that current falls prevention programs and standards may not be reaching those most vulnerable to fall hazards and injuries. My thesis is written in the publishable paper format and is comprised of two papers. Using an exploratory case study methodology in paper one, I investigated the social determinants of health that Inuvialuit Elders and LFPPs identify as factors that increase, decrease, or have no effect on the likelihood of an Inuvialuit Elder experiencing a fall. Together, we found that personal health status and conditions, personal health practices and coping skills, physical environments, social support networks, and access to health services increase Inuvialuit Elders likelihood of experiencing a fall, health practices and coping skills and access to health services decrease Inuvialuit Elders likelihood of experiencing a fall, and culture has no affect on the likelihood of Inuvialuit Elders experiencing a fall. In paper two, I used a participatory action research approach informed by postcolonial theory to examine what current falls prevention recommendations are offered by local falls prevention programmers (LFPPs) in order to reduce fall rates among Inuvialuit Elders in Inuvik, Northwest Territories, Canada; and to understand how falls prevention programs for Inuvialuit Elders can be co-created with participants to be culturally safe. In it, I provide the recommended strategies of developing and implementing a culturally safe falls prevention program for Inuvialuit Elders, as suggested by the LFPPs and Inuvialuit Elders who participated in the research. Taken together, the papers in this thesis make it apparent that research concerning falls prevention for Aboriginal Elders and falls prevention programs continues to be influenced by colonial practices. As a result, there is a demonstrated need for program development and research in this area to work towards reducing health disparities and challenging colonial practices.

description: The theory of symmetric functions has been extended to the case where each variable is paired with an anticommuting one. The resulting expressions, dubbed superpolynomials, provide the natural N=1 supersymmetric version of the classical bases of symmetric functions. Here we consider the case where two independent anticommuting variables are attached to each ordinary variable. The N=2 super-version of the monomial, elementary, homogeneous symmetric functions, as well as the power sums, are then constructed systematically (using an exterior-differential formalism for the multiplicative bases), these functions being now indexed by a novel type of superpartitions. Moreover, the scalar product of power sums turns out to have a natural N=2 generalization which preserves the duality between the monomial and homogeneous bases. All these results are then generalized to an arbitrary value of N. Finally, for N=2, the scalar product and the homogenous functions are shown to have a one-parameter deformation, a result that prepares the ground for the yet-to-be-defined N=2 Jack superpolynomials.

Analysis of Design Standards for Latin American Water Systems
Creators: name: Cizerle, Kimberly Dene
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1991

description: Design standards for rural water supply systems in Latin America were analyzed to determine their ability to select component capacities and design flows sufficient to meet actual demands. Water use data were collected from sixteen communities in Guatemala, Honduras, and Ecuador. The data were analyzed to determine actual values for design parameters, including average use rates, peaking factors and storage volumes. Regressive equations were developed for each parameter as a function of community characteristics. For towns of 300 to 1200 persons, results indicate average use rates on the order of 13 to 32 gallons per capita per day in Guatemala and 52 to 56 gallons per capita per day in Honduras and Ecuador. These demands are 150% to 300% higher than the design standards used by AID and local ministries of health; actual peaking factors and storage volumes are also underestimated. Hence, it appears that water systems in Guatemala, Honduras, and Ecuador will not have sufficient capacities to meet actual demands at the end of design periods as planned; rather, excess capacities will be exhausted prematurely. The underlying cause of this seems to be due largely to existing tariff structures, which are incompatible with design standards, and a lack of community awareness about water use and conservation in rural piped water systems. Various approaches for addressing the problem are recommended but not analyzed in detail.

description: Population transfer from the valence to conduction band in the presence of an intense laser field is explored theoretically in semiconductors and dielectrics. Experiments on intense laser driven dielectrics have revealed population transfer to the conduction band that differs from that seen in semiconductors. Our research explores two aspects of ionization in solids. (i) Current ionization theories neglect coupling between valence and conduction band and therewith the dynamic Stark shift. Our single-particle analysis identifies this as a potential reason for the different ionization behaviour. The dynamic Stark shift increases the bandgap with increasing laser intensities thus suppressing ionization to an extent where virtual population oscillation become dominant. The dynamic Stark shift plays a role dominantly in dielectrics which due to the large bandgap can be exposed to significantly higher laser intensities. (ii) In the presence of laser dressed virtual population of the conduction band, elastic collisions potentially transmute virtual into real population resulting in ionization. This process is explored in context of relaxation time approximation.

description: We revisit a class of Z' explanations of the anomalies found by the LHCb collaboration in $B$ decays, and show that the scenario is tightly constrained by a combination of constraints: (i) LHC searches for di-muon resonances, (ii) pertubativity of the Z' couplings; (iii) the $B_s$ mass difference, and (iv) and electro-weak precision data. Solutions are found by suppressing the Z' coupling to electrons and to light quarks and/or by allowing for a Z' decay width into dark matter. We also present a simplified framework where a TeV-scale Z' gauge boson that couples to standard leptons as well as to new heavy vector-like leptons, can simultaneously accommodate the LHCb anomalies and the muon g-2 anomaly.

description: We study the combined effect of interactions and disorder on topological order in one dimension. To this end we consider a generalized Kitaev chain including fermion-fermion interactions and disorder in the chemical potential. We determine the phase diagram by performing density-matrix renormalization group calculations on the corresponding spin-1/2 chain. We find that moderate disorder or repulsive interactions individually stabilize the topological order, which remains valid for their combined effect. However, both repulsive and attractive interactions lead to a suppression of the topological phase at strong disorder.

description: Early dark energy (EDE) models are a class of quintessence dark energy with a dynamically evolving scalar field which display a small but non-negligible amount of dark energy at the epoch of matter-radiation equality. Compared with a cosmological constant, the presence of dark energy at early times changes the cosmic expansion history and consequently the shape of the linear theory power spectrum and potentially other observables. We constrain the cosmological parameters in the EDE cosmology using recent measurements of the cosmic microwave background and baryon acoustic oscillations. The best-fitting models favour no EDE; here we consider extreme examples which are in mild tension with current observations in order to explore the observational consequences of a maximally allowed amount of EDE. We study the non-linear evolution of cosmic structure in EDE cosmologies using large volume N-body simulations. Many large-scale structure statistics are found to be very similar between the $Λ$ cold dark matter ($Λ$CDM) and EDE models. We find that the most promising way to distinguish EDE from $Λ$CDM is to measure the power spectrum on large scales, where differences of up to 15% are expected.

The Efficacy of Germicides Against Adenovirus Serotypes 2 and 8
Creators: name: Peacock, Jeffrey Edward
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2004

description: Infectious diseases can be transferred from person to person via direct contact with contaminated inanimate objects. In healthcare settings, these objects can range from tabletops to bedrails to patient care equipment. One technique utilized by infection control professionals to control these environmental infectious microorganisms is disinfection. Adenovirus type 8, which commonly causes epidemic keratoconjunctivitis (EKC), is a worldwide problem in newborns and remains a significant source of morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing cataract extraction or corneal replacement procedures. One of the ways adenovirus type 8 can be spread is from patient to patient by contaminated ophthalmic equipment. Therefore, the elimination of adenovirus type 8 from inanimate objects, such as tonometers, potentially could offer significant health benefits. Unfortunately, only limited data are available on the efficacy of available germicide products versus adenovirus 8. Given the lack of data on the efficacy of disinfection products in adenovirus eradication, this study was designed to identify which commonly used germicides were most effective in this pursuit, and in turn reduce the risk of infection resulting from patient contact with contaminated ophthalmic instruments.

We define an exact functor between the abelian category of right modules over a higher-rank graph $Λ$ and the category of $G_Λ$-sheaves, where $G_Λ$ is the path groupoid of $Λ$. We use this functor to construct compatible homomorphisms from both the cohomology of $Λ$ with coefficients in a right $Λ$-module, and the continuous cocycle cohomology of $G_Λ$ with values in the corresponding $G_Λ$-sheaf, into the sheaf cohomology of $G_Λ$.

The Valuation of Wetlands in North Carolina

description: In October 1996, the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission modified the 401 Water Quality Certification rules which ensure that federally permitted activities under Section 404 will not result in a violation of state water quality standards by damaging current wetland uses. With new rules for the uses of wetlands in North Carolina and advances in wetland science that brought about greater understanding of the functional processes within wetlands that produce value the "Guidance for Rating the Values of Wetlands in North Carolina," which was last modified in January 1995, needed to be amended to reflect these changes. During an internship in the summer of 1999, I conducted an extensive literature search coupled with extensive fieldwork to determine which wetland functions could provide value to human society. I found that the fourth version of the "Guidance" does not account for many of the ecological processes that affect, and ultimately determine, the wetland ecosystem. The proposed fifth version of the North Carolina Guidance is a more ecologically based wetland rating system. Major changes in this version of the Rating System include addition of a low flow augmentation value, modification to the pollutant removal value to reflect biogeochemical processing of pollutants, and deletion of the recreation/education value.

description: We present a consistent thermodynamic theory for the resonant level model in the wide band limit, whose level energy is driven slowly by an external force. The problem of defining 'system' and 'bath' in the strong coupling regime is circumvented by considering as the 'system' everything that is influenced by the externally driven level. The thermodynamic functions that are obtained to first order beyond the quasistatic limit fulfill the first and second law with a positive entropy production, successfully connect to the forces experienced by the external driving, and reproduce the correct weak coupling limit of stochastic thermodynamics.

description: We study the spherical cap packing problem with a probabilistic approach. Such probabilistic considerations result in an asymptotic sharp universal uniform bound on the maximal inner product between any set of unit vectors and a stochastically independent uniformly distributed unit vector. When the set of unit vectors are themselves independently uniformly distributed, we further develop the extreme value distribution limit of the maximal inner product, which characterizes its uncertainty around the bound. As applications of the above asymptotic results, we derive (1) an asymptotic sharp universal uniform bound on the maximal spurious correlation, as well as its uniform convergence in distribution when the explanatory variables are independently Gaussian distributed; and (2) an asymptotic sharp universal bound on the maximum norm of a low-rank elliptically distributed vector, as well as related limiting distributions. With these results, we develop a fast detection method for a low-rank structure in high-dimensional Gaussian data without using the spectrum information.

Evaporation of Mineral Oil in a Mist Collector
Creators: name: Cooper, Steven James
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries

description: Many industrial processes generate mineral oil mist. Current control technologies focus only on removing the mist droplets from the air. However, if these droplets evaporate, the vapor can pass through a collector designed to remove droplets alone. The purpose of this study was to determine the extent of evaporation for mineral oil droplets introduced to a mist collection system. Vapor was sampled using activated carbon downstream from the collector as high concentrations (45-55 mg/m^3) of oil mist were injected upstream. After the system was loaded with mist, additional vapor samples were taken without mist injection to determine the amount of evaporation from mist-loaded collector components. The average vapor concentration measured for all samples taken when oil mist was introduced to the system was 402 mg/m^3, or 8.8% of all oil introduced. Vapor concentrations caused by evaporation from collector components declined from 3-5 mg/m^3 as clean air initially passed through freshly loaded components to 1-2 mg/m^3 after air had passed through the components for about 12 hours. These findings suggest that even if a collector is 100% efficient for droplets of all diameters, some of the incoming mass will penetrate through the collector as vapor, and that evaporation of liquid oil retained on the collector itself can cause significant concentrations of vapor even if the collector has not been exposed to oil mist recently.

description: In this paper, an adaptive two-way relay cooperation scheme is studied for multiple-relay cognitive radio networks to improve the performance of secondary transmissions. The power allocation and relay selection schemes are derived to minimize the secondary outage probability where only statistical channel information is needed. Exact closed-form expressions for secondary outage probability are derived under a constraint on the quality of service of primary transmissions in terms of the required primary outage probability. To better understand the impact of primary user interference on secondary transmissions, we further investigate the asymptotic behaviors of the secondary relay network including power allocation and outage probability, when the primary signal-to-noise ratio goes to infinity. Simulation results are provided to illustrate the performance of the proposed schemes.

A coupled vacuum energy model producing endless alternated phases of accelerated and decelerated expansion
Creators: name: Fay, Stephane

Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We consider a flat Universe filled with a vacuum energy coupled to matter and radiation by respectively positive coupling functions $Q_m$ and $Q_r$. We require that these functions be such as Universe exits from inflation to go to a radiation dominated epoch and allow to reproduce the observed $ΛCDM$ expansion after this last epoch. These requirements lead to some necessary constraints on the coupling functions. We then look at one of the simplest forms of $Q_m$ and $Q_r$ able to satisfy them. The cosmological model thus defined describes a Universe with an initial singularity and endless alternated periods of accelerated and decelerated expansion (one of them being our $ΛCDM$ Universe) unifying inflation and present time expansion acceleration.

description: In this paper we study the homotopy limits of cosimplicial diagrams of dg-categories. We first give an explicit construction of the totalization of such a diagram and then show that the totalization agrees with the homotopy limit in the following two cases: (1) the complexes of sheaves of $\mathcal O$-modules on the Čech nerve of an open cover of a ringed space $(X, \mathcal O)$; (2) the complexes of sheaves on the simplicial nerve of a discrete group $G$ acting on a space. The explicit models we obtain in this way are twisted complexes as well as their $D$-module and $G$-equivariant versions. As an application we show that there is a stack of twisted perfect complexes.

Evaluation of Different Methods for Detecting Male Specific Coliphages from Marine Water at Doheny Beach, CA

description: Male-specific (F+) coliphages, primarily F+ RNA coliphages, have been proposed as candidate indicators of enteric viruses in water. The purpose of the this study was to evaluate the use of F+ coliphages as viral indicators of fecal contamination in marine waters using: (1) the Coliphage Latex Agglutination and Typing (CLAT) immunoassay, a rapid and novel coliphage detection and typing method, (2) a rapid (5-hr) liquid culture enrichment, and (3) a standard overnight liquid culture enrichment method, EPA Method 1601, at Doheny Beach, CA. This study analyzed 75 1 L marine water samples following rapid enrichment and 101 samples following overnight enrichment. For both methods, samples were collected in 2007 and 2008. The study was continued for the summer of 2008 to better document the performance of modifications of the rapid coliphages methods that were intended to overcome deficiencies of the method identified in 2007. For samples collected in 2007 using the rapid-CLAT and the overnight-CLAT assay 3/75(4.00%) and 4/101(3.96%) samples were positive for F+ coliphages respectively. Higher detection rates were found by using rapid and overnight enrichment spot plating with 16/75(21.3%) and 27/101(26.7%), respectively. We tested the lysis zones of the spot plates for the presence of F+ coliphage with the CLAT and found that 16/101(15.8%) were positive for rapid and 23/101(22.7%) for overnight enrichments, respectively, both of which were significant increases in positivity (p<0.05). We analyzed the effect salinity has on the enrichment and found that by reducing the salt concentration of the seawater samples by adding 1-liter of salt-free water, the growth of E. coli and the propagation of coliphages was improved. E. coli growth during the rapid (5-hr) enrichment improved from 9.0x10^8 to 1.0x1O^9 cfu/mL and coliphage propagation improved from 2.3x10^5 to 1.0x10^6 pfu/mL. This dilution of seawater was used for the analysis of 75 samples in 2008. Using the rapid-CLAT and the overnight-CLAT assay 16/75 (21.3%) and 24/101(23.7%) samples were positive for F+ coliphages respectively in 2008. Following rapid and overnight enrichment spot plating we found 37/75(49.3%) and 76/101(75.2%) F+ coliphage-positive samples, respectively, which was significantly different by Fisher Exact Test analysis (p<005). The results of this study suggest that the CLAT assay needs further improvement to (1) increase coliphage virus detection in seawater enrichments or(2) reduce to a lower coliphage concentration the lower detection limit of the agglutination immunoassay as approaches to achieving maximum F+ coliphage detection.
