description: This dissertation analyzes the role of gender in US public diplomacy to build more understanding of the impact that underlying attitudes about women’s empowerment have on US foreign policy in the Middle East and what this means for collaborative public diplomacy theory building. The goal of collaborative public diplomacy is to bring out your partner’s strengths to achieve something of mutual benefit. I collected data from secondary sources of US official discourse (2008-16), in-depth interviews with 93 people, including women participants in US public diplomacy programs, and participant observation from when I lived in the United Arab Emirates from 2014-17. The analysis is based on a framework combining Laclau and Mouffe’s poststructuralist discourse theory and feminist methodology to account for the role of context in defining gender roles, power relationships, and the emancipatory function of research. US public diplomacy official discourse situated women’s empowerment as a central strategy to counter violent extremism. The programs were thus about promoting a specific mindset and building a network of women who would fit into this discourse. The US goal was to collaborate with GCC and Jordan to create stability by promoting women’s empowerment through ICT entrepreneurship. With this came a set of definitions of what kinds of attributes and outcomes were linked to women’s empowerment and technology. However, women who had participated in US programs had diverse understandings of women’s empowerment, and the majority of the women I interviewed defined women’s empowerment as financial independence, the ability to make choices, and connection to networks of support. Collaboration as a theory falls apart in US public diplomacy in the MENA because the US discourse is built on US images of women rather than a process of co-creating a more complex vision of who women tech entrepreneurs are and what they can accomplish.
Towards stability of NLO corrections in High-Energy Factorization via Modified Multi-Regge Kinematics approximation

description: The perturbatively-stable scheme of Next-to-Leading order (NLO) calculations of cross-sections for multi-scale hard-processes in DIS-like kinematics is developed in the framework of High-Energy Factorization. The evolution equation for unintegrated PDF, which resums $\log 1/z$-corrections to the coefficient function in the Leading Logarithmic approximation together with a certain subset of Next-to-Leading Logarithmic and Next-to-Leading Power corrections, necessary for the perturbative stability of the formalism, is formulated and solved in the Doubly-Logarithmic approximation. An example of DIS-like process, induced by the operator ${\rm tr}\left[G_{μν}G^{μν}\right]$, which is sensitive to gluon PDF already in the LO, is studied. Moderate ($O(20\%)$) NLO corrections to the inclusive structure function are found at small $x_B<10^{-4}$, while for the $p_T$-spectrum of a leading jet in the considered process, NLO corrections are small ($

description: Thousands of transiting exoplanets have been discovered to date, thanks in great part to the {\em Kepler} space mission. As in all populations, and certainly in the case of exoplanets, one finds unique objects with distinct characteristics. Here we will describe the properties and behaviour of a small group of `disintegrating' exoplanets discovered over the last few years (KIC 12557548b, K2-22b, and others). They evaporate, lose mass unraveling their naked cores, produce spectacular dusty comet-like tails, and feature highly variable asymmetric transits. Apart from these exoplanets, there is observational evidence for even smaller `exo-'objects orbiting other stars: exoasteroids and exocomets. Most probably, such objects are also behind the mystery of Boyajian's star. Ongoing and upcoming space missions such as {\em TESS} and PLATO will hopefully discover more objects of this kind, and a new era of the exploration of small extrasolar systems bodies will be upon us.

description: The assumption of asymptotic flatness for isolated astrophysical bodies may be considered an approximation when one considers a cosmological context where a cosmological constant or vacuum energy is present. In this framework we study the motion of spinning particles in static, spherically symmetric and asymptotically non-flat spacetimes with repulsive cosmological vacuum energy and quintessential field. Due to the combined effects of gravitational attraction and cosmological repulsion, the region where stable circular orbits are allowed is restricted by an innermost and an outermost stable circular orbits. We show that taking into account the spin of test particles may enlarge or shrink the region of allowed stable circular orbits depending on whether the spin is co-rotating or counter-rotating with the angular momentum of the particles.

description: High-resolution, numerical simulations of 17 cluster-sized dark-matter haloes in eight different cosmologies with and without dynamical dark energy confirm the picture that core halo densities are imprinted early during their formation by the mean cosmological density. Quite independent of cosmology, halo concentrations have a log-normal distribution with a scatter of ~0.2 about the mean. We propose a simple scaling relation for halo concentrations in dark-energy cosmologies.

description: The collective response of an atomic ensemble is shaped by its macroscopic environment. We demonstrate this effect in the near-resonant transmission of light through a thermal rubidium vapor confined in a planar nanocavity. Our model reveals density-dependent line shifts and broadenings beyond continuous electrodynamics models that oscillate with cavity width and have been observed in recent experiments. We predict that the amplitudes of these oscillations can be controlled by coatings that modify the cavity's Finesse.

GENDER EQUALITY NORMS AND MAINSTREAMING: MEANING-IN-USE AMONG PUBLIC SERVANTS IN CAMBODIA AND RWANDA
Creators: name: Rogers, Sharon E.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Many scholars and practitioners have criticized gender mainstreaming without considering how public servants in developing countries engage with it or the specific ways they understand gender equality, which is the goal of gender mainstreaming. I address this gap through critical frame analysis of structured, open-ended interviews with 145 mid- and upper-level public servants in the Cambodian and Rwandan agriculture and local government sectors. Drawing on the international norm contestation literature and feminist theory, this approach illuminates the dynamics of localizing international gender equality norms and offers a complement to structural explanations for the challenges of institutionalizing commitments to gender equality. In both countries, competition between gender equality and neoliberal growth and governance norms has resulted in dominant conceptions of gender equality as sameness and inclusion, which public servants understood primarily as increasing women’s participation and leadership in the economy and governance, with limited, inconsistent consideration of women’s rights, gender-based violence, inequality in the “private sphere,” and men’s roles in maintaining gender (in)equality. Although Cambodian and Rwandan understandings of gender equality reflected distinct national gender policy mandates, governance styles, and patriarchal norms, there were few differences between men and women or between sectors. Yet, although these normative processes have contributed to policy evaporation – the narrowing of formal policy mandates as they are enacted -- gender mainstreaming has nonetheless become institutionalized in both governments in ways that go beyond “tick the box” exercises. Strikingly, when considering gender equality in ordinary people’s lives, interviewees’ visions emphasized women’s empowerment in both “public” and “private” domains, as well as the need for changes in men’s mindsets. These findings suggest that placing gender equality at the service of economic growth and organizational efficiency, rather than public servants’ narrow understandings of gender equality, is a main constraint to gender policy implementation. Given more explicitly rights-based policy mandates connecting “public” and “private” spheres, public servants in Cambodia and Rwanda and similar countries could be more effective allies in establishing equitable gender norms, rather than roadblocks, as may have been presumed.

description: We analyze simulations results of a model proposed for etching of a crystalline solid and results of other discrete models in the 2+1-dimensional Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) class. In the steady states, the moments W_n of orders n=2,3,4 of the heights distribution are estimated. Results for the etching model, the ballistic deposition (BD) model and the temperature-dependent body-centered restricted solid-on-solid model (BCSOS) suggest the universality of the absolute value of the skewness S = W_3 / (W_2)^(3/2) and of the value of the kurtosis Q = W_4 / (W_2)^2 - 3. The sign of the skewness is the same of the parameter λof the KPZ equation which represents the process in the continuum limit. The best numerical estimates, obtained from the etching model, are |S| = 0.26 +- 0.01 and Q = 0.134 +- 0.015. For this model, the roughness exponent α= 0.383 +- 0.008 is obtained, accounting for a constant correction term (intrinsic width) in the scaling of the squared interface width. This value is slightly below previous estimates of extensive simulations and rules out the proposal of the exact value α=2/5. The conclusion is supported by results for the ballistic deposition model. Independent estimates of the dynamical exponent and of the growth exponent are 1.605 <= z <= 1.64 and β= 0.229 +- 0.005, respectively, which are consistent with the relations α+ z = 2 and z = α/ β.

description: Recently, there has been interest in high-precision approximations of the first eigenvalue of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on spherical triangles for combinatorial purposes. We compute improved and certified enclosures to these eigenvalues. This is achieved by applying the method of particular solutions in high precision, the enclosure being obtained by a combination of interval arithmetic and Taylor models. The index of the eigenvalue is certified by exploiting the monotonicity of the eigenvalue with respect to the domain. The classically troublesome case of singular corners is handled by combining expansions at all corners and an expansion from an interior point. In particular, this allows us to compute 100 digits of the fundamental eigenvalue for the 3D Kreweras model that has been the object of previous efforts.

description: Thin elastic solids are easily deformed into a myriad of three-dimensional shapes, which may contain sharp localized structures as in a crumpled candy wrapper, or have smooth and diffuse features like the undulating edge of a flower. Anticipating and controlling these morphologies is crucial to a variety of applications involving textiles, synthetic skins, and inflatable structures. Here we show that a "wrinkle-to-crumple" transition, previously observed in specific settings, is a ubiquitous response for confined sheets. This unified picture is borne out of a suite of model experiments on polymer films confined to liquid interfaces with spherical, hyperbolic, and cylindrical geometries, which are complemented by experiments on macroscopic membranes inflated with gas. We use measurements across this wide range of geometries, boundary conditions, and lengthscales to quantify several robust morphological features of the crumpled phase, and we build an empirical phase diagram for crumple formation that disentangles the competing effects of curvature and compression. Our results suggest that crumples are a generic microstructure that emerge at large curvatures due to a competition of elastic and substrate energies.

Spin Hall effect and Berry phase in two dimensional electron gas

description: The spin Hall effect is investigated in a high mobility two dimensional electron system with the spin-orbital coupling of both the Rashba and the Dresselhaus types. A spin current perpendicular to the electric field is generated by either the Rashba or the Dresselhaus coupling. The spin Hall conductance is independent of the stength of the coupling, but its sign is determined by the relative ratio of the two couplings. The direction of spin current is controllable by tuning the magnitude of the surface electric field perpendicular to the two dimensional plane via adjusting the Rashba coupling. It is observed that the spin Hall conductance has a close relation to the Berry phase of conduction electrons.

Life cycle assessment of the Forest Science Center
Creators: name: Eddy, Ian
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: This study used Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) to assess the environmental performance of the University of British Columbia’s Forest Science Centre. The LCA was part of a larger continuing project that seeks to quantify the environmental performance of the buildings at UBC. A previous model of the FSC was reviewed, improved, and reclassified to fit the Canadian Institute of Quantity Surveyors’ classification format in order to promote integration of LCA into the existing template used during building design for cost management. Architectural and structural drawings of the building were coupled with the software programs Athena Impact Estimator for Buildings and Onscreen Takeoff to model the potential impacts created through the production and construction of the building. The material and energy flows from these systems were characterized with the TRACI impact assessment methodology to produce a comprehensive evaluation of the potential environmental impacts. The greatest environmental impacts were discerned to occur from the suspended concrete slabs that form the upper floors of the building. The results of all studies were used to create a benchmark against which buildings could be evaluated. The FSC was found to have a lower impact than the benchmark in 6 of the 7 impact categories, though the range varied considerably. Recommendations are proposed to further operationalize LCA at UBC. They include an expansion of the system boundary to cover the operation and maintenance of buildings, and the normalization of impact categories to reflect the sustainable development policies pursued by UBC. Aspects of the building requiring further analysis are also identified so that the study may be improved by future students.

description: Although (CH3)2NH2CuCl3 (MCCL) was first examined in the 1930's [1], there are open questions regarding the magnetic dimensionality and nature of the magnetic properties. MCCL is proposed to be a S=1/2 alternating ferromagnetic antiferromagnetic spin chain alternating along the crystalline a-axis [2,3]. Proposed ferromagnetic (JFM =1.3 meV) and antiferromagnetic (JAFM =1.1 meV) exchange constants make this system particularly interesting for experimental study. Because JFM and JAFM are nearly identical, the system should show competing behavior between S=1/2 (AFM) and S=1(FM) effects. We report low temperature magnetic field dependent susceptibility, chi(H), and specific heat, Cp, of MCCL. These provide an initial magnetic-field versus temperature phase diagram. A zero-field phase transition consistent with long range magnetic order is observed at T=0.9 K. The transition temperature can be reduced via application of a magnetic field. We also present comparisons to a FM/AFM dimer model that accounts for chi(T,H=0) and Cp(H,T).

description: Recent theoretical and experimental studies in quantum heat engines show that, in the quasi-static regime, it is possible to have higher efficiency than the limit imposed by Carnot, provided that engineered reservoirs are used. The quasi-static regime, however, is a strong limitation to the operation of heat engines, since infinitely long time is required to complete a cycle. In this paper we propose a two-level model as the working substance to perform a quantum Otto heat engine surrounded by a cold thermal reservoir and a squeezed hot thermal reservoir. Taking advantage of this model we show a striking achievement, that is to attain unity efficiency even at non null power.

description: Why do rebels sometimes go to war with each other, weakening their position againsttheir common enemy, the state? This dissertation compares two cases of intra-rebel warthat pose an especially difficult puzzle for existing theories of intra-rebel war: thefighting between the Official IRA and the Provisional IRA in Belfast (1969-1980) andwar among Kurdish revolutionaries in Turkey (1974-1980). These two cases are puzzlingbecause both occurred in areas where the state was strong, and therefore able to capitalizeoperationally and politically on rebel fratricide. By comparing these two cases, thisdissertation argues that broadly similar causal mechanisms can help to explain theseintra-rebel wars.In both cases, rebel organizations were shaped by their involvement in defensiveviolence in response to repression from the state and state-aligned attackers. Learning tocounteract this violence changed the operational and cultural character of theseorganizations, with downstream effects on how these organizations strategicallyappraised the costs and benefits of using violence against rivals. Furthermore, theseorganizational changes led to an increased frequency of violence that was non-strategic;that is, it was not performed as the result of a considered and thorough decision-makingprocess. In combination, these mechanisms promoted repeated spirals of fratricidal violence that progressively altered threat perceptions, and thereby encouraged riskier, more concerted applications of violence against rivals. This dissertation fashions thiscomparative explanation into a generalizable argument about the causes of intra-rebelwar in strong states, and provides initial testing of the arguments with two shadow cases,taken from the Algerian independence movement in France and the Sinhalese leftistinsurgency in Sri Lanka.

description: Using a technique that is not subject to first-order SU(3) symmetry breaking effects, we determine the $V_{us}$ element of the CKM matrix from data on semileptonic hyperon decays. We obtain $V_{us}$ =0.2250(27). This value is of similar precision to the one derived from $K_{l3}$, but higher and in better agreement with the unitarity requirement, $|V_{ud}|^2+|V_{us}|^2+|V_{ub}|^2=1$.

On the Resolution of the Time-Like Singularities in Reissner-Nordstrom and Negative-Mass Schwarzschild

description: Certain time-like singularities are shown to be resolved already in classical General Relativity once one passes from particle probes to scalar waves. The time evolution can be defined uniquely and some general conditions for that are formulated. The Reissner-Nordstrom singularity allows for communication through the singularity and can be termed "beam splitter" since the transmission probability of a suitably prepared high energy wave packet is 25%. The high frequency dependence of the cross section is w^{-4/3}. However, smooth geometries arbitrarily close to the singular one require a finite amount of negative energy matter. The negative-mass Schwarzschild has a qualitatively different resolution interpreted to be fully reflecting. These 4d results are similar to the 2d black hole and are generalized to an arbitrary dimension d>4.

description: We theoretically discuss the Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida (RKKY) interaction between semiconductor quantum dots (QDs). When each QD having a local spin is coupled to the conduction electrons in semiconductors, an indirect exchange interaction, i.e., the RKKY interaction, is induced between two local spins. The RKKY interaction between QDs, which is mediated by the Fermi sea in semiconductors, is modulated by changing the Fermi energy, and the magnitude or even the sign of the exchange interaction can be tuned, which leads to a tunable magnetic transition in QD devices. We estimate the magnitude of the RKKY interaction in QDs as a function of the electron density and the inter-dot distance.

description: The majority of rural Indian households remain dependent on unreliable, inefficient and harmful household energy technologies. Rural households make their energy decisions with respect to the Water-Energy-Food security (WEF) Nexus jointly, however, previous research initiatives have analyzed household energy access problem in isolation. By analyzing household’s activities and its interactions with other households, this paper identified the factors that impact household’s transition to modern energies of different kinds. For the analysis, it utilized logit and zoib (zero-one-inflated beta) regression techniques on the household survey data set from the Uttar Pradesh province of India. The results showed that regular non-agricultural income of household’s male member increases the probability of household’s modern cooking energy and modern lighting transition by 8.6% and 13.6%, respectively. It was found that household’s higher agricultural dependence and resource endowments (more labor and cattle) lead to higher share of traditional bioenergy consumption in the total cooking energy mix. Proximity to markets and high household income were observed to positively influence household modern cooking and lighting transition. Local institutions such as local bio-energy markets and barter trade for labor- bioenergy was observed to have significant influence on household energy choice. Results also showed that government’s policy instrument such as household connection to government LPG scheme is associated with 20.5% increased probability of household using modern cooking energy as its primary cooking fuel. Results also indicated that social factors such as higher female education and young age of household head are associated with household’s increased modern cooking energy consumption in its total cooking energy mix.

Creating Requirements: Emerging Military Capabilities, Civilian Preferences, and Civil-Military Relations
Creators: name: Friend, Alice Hunt
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This dissertation explores the relationship between civilian and military preferences in the United States. A standard measure of the health of the civil-military relationship is whether civilian preferences prevail over military preferences in times of disagreement. Generally, the civil-military relations literature focuses on civilian efforts to impose their preferences on the military. But is it possible that the military is able to impose its preferences on civilians as well? This study asks and answers the questions: Does the military shape civilian preferences, and to what extent? If the military does shape civilian preferences, under what conditions does it do so? I contend that both purposeful actions by the military and factors natural to the civil-military relationship, each centered on the distribution of information resources, shape civilian preferences. I hypothesize that the less information civilians possess relative to the military, the more civilian preferences are based on military preferences. In three cases of emerging military capabilities, I find support for this hypothesis. Using comparative historical methods and process tracing, I examine the congruence of civilian and military preferences across time and find that military actors frequently framed and constrained civilian thinking about, and in some contexts dictated the purposes of, special operations forces, unmanned aerial vehicles, and cyber capabilities.
Double parton distributions in the leading logarithm approximation of perturbative QCD

description: Recent CDF measurements of the inclusive cross section for a double parton scattering attach a great importance to any theoretical calculations of two-particle distribution functions. Using a parton interpretation of the leading logarithm diagrams of perturbative QCD theory, generalized Lipatov-Altarelli-Parisi-Dokshitzer equations for the two-parton distributions are re-obtained. The solutions of these equations are not at all the product of two single-parton distributions what is usually applied to the current analysis as ansatz.
