title: The Struggle over Cultural Citizenship: An Analysis of Political Participation in a Local Hispanic Community

subject: Cultural citizenship

description: In pursuit to discover the causes of low levels of Hispanic political participation in the city of Winchester Virginia, this thesis employs Renato Rosaldo's concept of "cultural citizenship", explicating culture's role in political participation. The idea of "cultural citizenship" refers to not just the legal definition of citizenship, but the cultural elements that define citizenship as well. By analyzing the role culture plays in citizenship one can explain, in part, the causes of low levels of political participation within the local Hispanic community. Through an analysis of cultural attributes such as: language, family and community values, and political beliefs, this study aims to show that variances among these cultural attributes across generations of Hispanic immigrants lead to differences in political education and participation levels. The enculturation of younger Hispanics into U.S. society in particular, leads to increased levels of political education and participation, while older, usually first-generation Hispanics in Winchester, Virginia, tend to possess lower levels of political education and participation. This understanding of culture's influence on political education and participation can direct public outreach strategies used by local governments to increase participation among older first-generation Hispanic residents.

description: We study the possible existence of deconfined quark matter in the interior of neutron stars using the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model to describe the quark phase. We find that typical neutron stars with masses around 1.4 solar masses do not possess any deconfined quark matter in their center. This can be traced back to the property of the NJL model which suggests a large constituent strange quark mass over a wide range of densities.

description: We extract a numerical value for the strong coupling constant α_s from the τ-lepton decay rate into nonstrange particles. A new feature of our procedure is the explicit use of renormalization scheme invariance in analytical form in order to perform the actual analysis in a particular renormalization scheme. For the reference coupling constant in the \MSsch-scheme we obtain α_s(M_τ)= 0.3184 \pm 0.0060_{exp} which corresponds to \al_s(M_Z)= 0.1184 \pm 0.0007_{exp} \pm 0.0006_{hq mass}. This new numerical value is smaller than the standard value from $τ$-data quoted in the literature and is closer to \al_s(M_Z)-values obtained from high energy experiments.

description: We show that a set of gates that consists of all one-bit quantum gates (U(2)) and the two-bit exclusive-or gate (that maps Boolean values $(x,y)$ to $(x,x \oplus y)$) is universal in the sense that all unitary operations on arbitrarily many bits $n$ (U($2^n$)) can be expressed as compositions of these gates. We investigate the number of the above gates required to implement other gates, such as generalized Deutsch-Toffoli gates, that apply a specific U(2) transformation to one input bit if and only if the logical AND of all remaining input bits is satisfied. These gates play a central role in many proposed constructions of quantum computational networks. We derive upper and lower bounds on the exact number of elementary gates required to build up a variety of two-and three-bit quantum gates, the asymptotic number required for $n$-bit Deutsch-Toffoli gates, and make some observations about the number required for arbitrary $n$-bit unitary operations.

We show the moduli space of such sheaves is isomorphic to the moduli space of semi-stable rank $2$ even degree vector bundles on a genus $2$ curve. This provides a natural smooth compatification of the moduli space of Ulrich bundles of rank $2$ on $V_4$.

description: Motivated by the recent measurement of the primeval abundance of deuterium, we re-examine the nuclear inputs to big-bang nucleosynthesis (BBN). Using Monte-Carlo realization of the nuclear cross-section data to directly estimate the theoretical uncertainties for the yields of D, 3-He and 7-Li, we show that previous estimates were a factor of 2 too large. We sharpen the BBN determination of the baryon density based upon deuterium, rho_B = (3.6 +/- 0.4) * 10^{-31} g/cm^3 (Omega_B h^2 = 0.019 +/- 0.0024), which leads to a predicted 4-He abundance, Y_P = 0.246 +/- 0.0014 and a stringent limit to the equivalent number of light neutrino species: N_nu < 3.20 (all at 95% cl). The predicted 7-Li abundance, 7-Li/H = (3.5 + 1.1 - 0.9) * 10^{-10}, is higher than that observed in pop II stars, (1.7 +/- 0.3) * 10^{-10} (both, 95% cl). We identify key reactions and the energies where further work is needed.

description: In this work, a fast method of vertex reconstructing for incident ions in GEM detectors was proposed. As inspired by the Time Projection Chamber (TPC), the time information of the consecutive signal samples from Front End Electronics (FEE) was employed. To demonstrate the method, an experiment involving a 2D-readout THGEM detector with an APV-25 FEE was taken. With one experiment dependent parameter in the analysis, the proposed method led to a spatial resolution of 0.45 mm, compared with the same number of 9.10 mm from the traditional center of gravity method.

description: Planting short rotation coppice willows (SRCW) in chickens’ free-range areas could have several advantages for the chickens, environment and farmer. Our aim was to test the effects of combining SRCW and chickens on free-range use, soil conditions and SRCW growth. A free-range chicken area was partially planted with a grass/clover mixture, and partially with SRCW. Chickens preferred to range in SRCW compared to grassland. No effects of periodical chicken presence on SRCW growth were observed. Total mineral N (Nmin) was affected by interactions between vegetation type, location, and soil depth; it was generally higher in SRCW than in grassland and in areas close to the chicken houses. Nmin did not appear to accumulate in the soil over the years, but there were strong indications for higher risk of N leaching to deeper soil layers and possibly to groundwater close to the houses and in SRCW. SRCW was beneficial for the chickens, but the combination needs to be studied further with a focus on strategies for preventing nutrient leaching to groundwater.

description: Colorectal cancer ranks as the 2nd leading cause of cancer death in the United States. New drugs are urgently needed to increase the survival of patients with colorectal cancer. FOLFIRI is the most commonly used chemotherapy treatment in colorectal cancer, yet most patients develop side effects that severely affect quality of life. Bortezomib, an anti-cancer drug approved for multiple myeloma and lymphoma has been reported as an effective treatment in colorectal cancer that enhances apoptosis and attenuates tumor growth. Stromatis Pharma has developed a humanized monoclonal antibody, CT109, against CEACAM6 (new checkpoint inhibitor) that has demonstrated its promising antitumor activity against pancreatic and colorectal cancer in preclinical models. Monoclonal antibodies (moAbs) can be used in combination with drugs to treat cancer as adjunct therapy. MoAbs minimize treatment toxicity and are more effective at shrinking xi tumors, inhibiting tumor growth, prolonging life, and/or improving quality of life. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the functional capabilities of CT109 either alone or in combination with chemotherapy treatments. We used antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) assays, immunoblotting and cell viability assays as an in-vitro assessment of the CT109 efficacy in combination with chemotherapy drugs. Results show that the combination of CT109 with Bortezomib enhanced poly ADP ribose polymerase (PARP) cleavage and increased apoptosis in HT29 cells. Further, the synergistic inhibition and/or reduction of tumor growth, in combination with FOLFIRI, were observed in-vivo, in a colorectal adenocarcinoma tumor xenograft model in nu/nu mice. We found that the humanized monoclonal antibody CT109 enhanced the anti-cancer effect of both treatments. These data support the use of a novel monoclonal antibody, CT109 as an adjunct therapy to treat this deadly malignancy.

description: We study top-down embeddings of massive Anti-de Sitter (AdS) gravity in type-IIB string theory. The supergravity solutions have a AdS$_4$ fiber warped over a manifold M$_6$ whose shape resembles that of scottish bagpipes: The `bag' is a conventional AdS$_4$-compactification manifold, while the `pipes' are highly-curved semi-infinite Janus throats. Besides streamlining previous discussions of the problem, our main new result is a formula for the graviton mass which only depends on the effective gravitational coupling of the bag, and on the D3-brane charges and dilaton jumps of the Janus throats. We compare these embeddings to the Karch-Randall model and other bottom-up proposals for massive-AdS-gravity, and we comment on their holographic interpretation. This is a companion paper to [1], where some closely-related bimetric models with pure AdS$_5\times$S$^5$ throats were analyzed.

description: We perform calculations of Z+jet cross-section taking into account the transverse momenta of the initial partons. Transverse Momentum Dependent (TMD) parton densities obtained with the Parton Branching method are used and higher order corrections are included via TMD parton showers in the initial state. The predictions are compared to measurements of forward Z+jet production of the LHCb collaboration at $\sqrt{s}=7$ TeV. We show that the results obtained in kT-factorization are in good agreement with results obtained from a NLO calculation matched with traditional parton showers. We also demonstrate that in the forward rapidity region, kT-factorization and hybrid factorization predictions agree with each other.

description: Skyrmions are spatially localized magnetic swirls which carry a nonzero integer topological charge. We study crystals of skyrmions in a two-dimensional ferromagnet model with chiral interactions induced by the presence of broken inversion symmetry. We show that non-linear quartic mode-coupling terms allowed by symmetry enhances the Zeeman-field range over which the skyrmion-crystal phase remains stable. Furthermore, it leads to a significant dependence of the lattice constant of this spin crystal over this wide field range. Conduction electrons coupled to such a tunable spin crystal are shown to experience a Berry-flux density which varies with the Zeeman field. Such tunable skyrmion crystals provide a distinct realization of a Berry-Hofstadter butterfly, resulting in a phenomenon we term "topological quantum oscillations" in the electronic density of states and associated observables.

description: This case study explores the experiences of graduating seniors’ perceptions of their intercultural competence (IC) and the role their schooling played in its development. The teaching of skills and knowledge related to IC, such as adaptability, flexibility, empathy, and cultural knowledge, are of increasing importance given the globalization of the world. Its importance in education is recognized in higher education, as well as in private industry and federal government bureaucracies. However, it is increasingly recognized that teaching IC to students prior to college is important for them to become more global citizens and ethnorelative in their knowledge and skill set. The study took place in Beaverton School District (BSD) in Beaverton, Oregon which is a major suburb of Portland and the third largest school district in Oregon. Data collected included participants taking Mahon and Cushner’s Inventory of Cross-Cultural Sensitivity, semi-structured interviews and document analysis to create thick descriptions of participants’ educational experiences.An iterative, open, and emic coding process of the multiple points of data collected yielded substantial themes in the learning of IC in school settings. Findings included that students come to school with a wealth of life experiences impacting their ability to grow and hone their IC skills, behaviors, and knowledge. Schools impact a student’s ability to move from ethnocentrism to ethnorelativsm through formalized lessons, informal learning opportunities, relationship building, and establishing positive and accepting learning environments. The findings of this study are significant to academics and practitioners alike, as it offers actionable items based upon participant experiences, as well as suggestions for further studies that will elucidate clear pathways towards creating IC-rich curriculum and learning opportunities in educational settings.
Matrix Theory, U-Duality and Toroidal Compactifications of M-Theory
Creators: name: Hull, C. M.

Year: 1997
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: Using U-duality, the properties of the matrix theories corresponding to the compactification of M-theory on $T^d$ are investigated. The couplings of the $d+1$ dimensional effective Super-Yang-Mills theory to all the M-theory moduli is deduced and the spectrum of BPS branes in the SYM gives the corresponding spectrum of the matrix theory.Known results are recovered for $d\le 5$ and predictions for $d>5$ are proposed. For $d>3$, the spectrum includes $d-4$ branes arising from YM instantons, and U-duality interchanges momentum modes with brane wrapping modes.For $d=6$, there is a generalised $þ$-angle which couples to instantonic 3-branes and which combines with the SYM coupling constant to take values in $SL(2,\R)/U(1)$, acted on by an $SL(2,\Z)$ subgroup of the U-duality group $E_6(\Z)$. For $d=4,7,8$, there is an $SL(d+1)$ symmetry, suggesting that the matrix theory could be a scale-invariant $d+2$ dimensional theory on $T^{d+1} \times \R$ in these cases, as is already known to be the case for $d=4$; evidence is found suggesting this happens for $d=8$ but not $d=7$.

description: From the gambling logs of an online lottery game we extract the probability distribution of various quantities (e.g., bet value, total pool size, waiting time between successive gambles) as well as related correlation coefficients. We view the net change of income of each player as a random walk. The mean squared displacement of these net income random walks exhibits a transition between a super-diffusive and a normal diffusive regime. We discuss different random walk models with truncated power-law step lengths distributions that allow to reproduce some of the properties extracted from the gambling logs. Analyzing the mean squared displacement and the first-passage time distribution for these models allows to identify the key features needed for observing this crossover from super-diffusion to normal diffusion.

description: The issue discussed is a thermodynamic version of the Bern-Kosower master amplitude formula, which contains all necessary one-loop Feynman diagrams. It is demonstrated how the master amplitude at finite values of temperature and chemical potential can be formulated within the framework of the world-line formalism. In particular we present an elegant method how to introduce a chemical potential for a loop in the master formula. Various useful integral formulae for the master amplitude are then obtained. The non-analytic property of the master formula is also derived in the zero temperature limit with the value of chemical potential kept finite.

description: The removal of heavy metal ions from aquatic media or any conditions is crucial. Silver ions turn out to be the important example of this problem on earth when these are released to the environment. In the present study, silver ions (Ag+) imprinted poly(hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PHEMA)-based cryogels were prepared using N-methacryloyl-L-cysteine as functional monomer, to be chelated with Ag+ ions. The maximum adsorption capacity of Ag+-imprinted polymeric cryogel was found to be 49.27 mg/g from aqueous solutions. To investigate the affinity of Ag+-imprinted PHEMAC cryogel column, photographic film material from the natural silver ion source was used. The recovery results were 72.8% for the Ag+-imprinted PHEMAC cryogel and 0.62% for the non-imprinted PHEMAC cryogels. These values clearly showed the selectivity of the Ag+-imprinted PHEMAC cryogel column. The adsorption–desorption cycle was performed more 10 times with use of the same Ag+-imprinted PHEMAC cryogel for the determination of reuse. These molecularly imprinted cryogels were used in adsorption process for a long time with no significant loss.

An effective model based on the sine-Gordon equation on metric graphs is used for computing the charge transport and scattering of charge carriers at the polymer branching points. Condition for the ballistic charge carrier transport is revealed.

description: We study the power spectrum of the mass density perturbations in an inflation scenario that includes thermal dissipation. We show that the condition on which the thermal fluctuations dominate the primordial density perturbations can easily be realized even for weak dissipation, i.e., the rate of dissipation is less than the Hubble expansion. We find that our spectrum of primordial density perturbations follows a power law behavior, and exhibits a ``thermodynamical'' feature -- the amplitude and power index of the spectrum depend mainly on the thermodynamical variable $M$, the inflation energy scale. Comparing this result with the observed temperature fluctuations of the cosmic microwave background, we find that both amplitude and index of the power spectrum can be fairly well fitted if $M \sim 10^{15}-10^{16}$ GeV.

description: We observed a hump-like feature in Hall effects of SrRuO$_3$ ultrathin films, and systematically investigated it with controlling thicknesses, temperatures and magnetic fields. The hump-like feature is extremely stable, even surviving as a magnetic field is tilted by as much as 85$^\circ$. Based on the atomic-level structural analysis of a SrRuO$_3$ ultrathin film with a theoretical calculation, we reveal that atomic rumplings at the thin-film surface enhance Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction, which can generate stable chiral spin textures and a hump-like Hall effect. Moreover, temperature dependent resonant X-ray measurements at Ru L-edge under a magnetic field showed that the intensity modulation of unexpected peaks was correlated with the hump region in the Hall effect. We verify that the two-dimensional property of ultrathin films generates stable non-coplanar spin textures having a magnetic order in a ferromagnetic oxide material.

description: We study static, spherically symmetric, and purely magnetic solutions of the N=4 gauged supergravity in four dimensions. A systematic analysis of the supersymmetry conditions reveals solutions which preserve 1/4 of the supersymmetries and are characterized by a BPS-monopole-type gauge field and a globally hyperbolic, everywhere regular geometry. We show that the theory in which these solutions arise can be obtained via compactification of ten-dimensional supergravity on the group manifold. This result is then used to lift the solutions to ten dimensions.

description: In nature and society problems arise when different interests are difficult to reconcile, which are modeled in game theory. While most applications assume uncorrelated games, a more detailed modeling is necessary to consider the correlations that influence the decisions of the players. The current theory for correlated games, however, enforces the players to obey the instructions from a third party or "correlation device" to reach equilibrium, but this cannot be achieved for all initial correlations. We extend here the existing framework of correlated games and find that there are other interesting and previously unknown Nash equilibria that make use of correlations to obtain the best payoff. This is achieved by allowing the players the freedom to follow or not to follow the suggestions of the correlation device. By assigning independent probabilities to follow every possible suggestion, the players engage in a response game that turns out to have a rich structure of Nash equilibria that goes beyond the correlated equilibrium and mixed-strategy solutions. We determine the Nash equilibria for all possible correlated Snowdrift games, which we find to be describable by Ising Models in thermal equilibrium. We believe that our approach paves the way to a study of correlations in games that uncovers the existence of interesting underlying interaction mechanisms, without compromising the independence of the players.

description: Parasitic fungi are the only pathogens that can infect insect hosts directly through their proteinaceous exoskeleton. Penetration of the cuticle requires the release of fungal enzymes, including proteinases, which act as virulence factors. Insects can sense fungal infections and activate innate immune responses, including the synthesis of antifungal peptides and proteinase inhibitors that neutralize the incoming proteinases. This well-studied host response is epigenetically regulated by histone acetylation/deacetylation. Here we show that entomopathogenic fungi can in turn sense the presence of insect-derived antifungal peptides and proteinase inhibitors, and respond by inducing the synthesis of chymotrypsin-like proteinases and metalloproteinases that degrade the host-derived defense molecules. The rapidity of this response is dependent on the virulence of the fungal strain. We confirmed the specificity of the pathogen response to host-derived defense molecules by LC/MS and RT-PCR analysis, and correlated this process with the epigenetic regulation of histone acetylation/deacetylation. This cascade of responses reveals that the coevolution of pathogens and hosts can involve a complex series of attacks and counterattacks based on communication between the invading fungal pathogen and its insect host. The resolution of this process determines whether or not pathogenesis is successful.

description: From the introduction: ...The man is Dr. Jay Kirkpatrick, and the gun he carries is loaded with an immunocontraceptive vaccine dart that will render the mare sterile for about a year. She lives on a wildlife refuge on Assateague Island and, as one of the Chesapeake’s feral horses, is part of a herd that has become a beloved cultural icon. To protect the refuge’s natural resources, without which the two herds that live on the island could not sustain themselves, the National Park Service and the Chincoteague Volunteer Fire Company carefully manage Assateague’s horse population. They work to ensure that the herds remain large enough to be genetically viable but small enough so that they do not disrupt their island habitat. Their population- control efforts are designed to protect the horses, which might otherwise eat themselves out of a home.

description: Non-toxigenic V. parahaemolyticus isolates (tdh−/trh−/T3SS2−) have recently been isolated from patients with gastroenteritis. In this study we report that the larvae of the wax moth (Galleria mellonella) are susceptible to infection by toxigenic or non-toxigenic clinical isolates of V. parahaemolyticus. In comparison larvae inoculated with environmental isolates of V. parahaemolyticus did not succumb to disease. Whole genome sequencing of clinical non-toxigenic isolates revealed the presence of a gene encoding a nudix hydrolase, identified as mutT. A V. parahaemolyticus mutT mutant was unable to kill G. mellonella at 24 h post inoculation, indicating a role of this gene in virulence. Our findings show that G. mellonella is a valuable model for investigating screening of possible virulence genes of V. parahaemolyticus and can provide new insights into mechanisms of virulence of atypical non-toxigenic V. parahaemolyticus. These findings will allow improved genetic tests for the identification of pathogenic V. parahaemolyticus to be developed and will have a significant impact for the scientific community.
Dissipative Quantum Systems with Potential Barrier. General Theory and Parabolic Barrier

description: We study the real time dynamics of a quantum system with potential barrier coupled to a heat-bath environment. Employing the path integral approach an evolution equation for the time dependent density matrix is derived. The time evolution is evaluated explicitly near the barrier top in the temperature region where quantum effects become important. It is shown that there exists a quasi-stationary state with a constant flux across the potential barrier. This state generalizes the Kramers flux solution of the classical Fokker-Planck equation to the quantum regime. In the temperature range explored the quantum flux state depends only on the parabolic approximation of the anharmonic barrier potential near the top. The parameter range within which the solution is valid is investigated in detail. In particular, by matching the flux state onto the equilibrium state on one side of the barrier we gain a condition on the minimal damping strength. For very high temperatures this condition reduces to a known result from classical rate theory. Within the specified parameter range the decay rate out of a metastable state is calculated from the flux solution. The rate is shown to coincide with the result of purely thermodynamic methods. The real time approach presented can be extended to lower temperatures and smaller damping.

description: A comprehensive search for "broad" Feshbach resonances (FRs) in all possible combinations of stable alkali-metal atoms is carried out, using a multi-channel quantum-defect theory assisted by the analytic wave functions for a long-range van-der-Waals potential. A number of new "broad" $s$-, $p$- and $d$-wave FRs in the lowest-energy scattering channels, which are stable against two-body dipolar spin-flip loss, are predicted and characterized. Our results also show that "broad" FRs of $p$- or $d$-wave type that are free of two-body loss do not exist between fermionic alkali-metal atoms for magnetic field up to 1000\,G. These findings constitute helpful guidance on efforts towards experimental study of high-partial-wave coupling induced many-body physics.

description: HI shells and supershells, found in discs of many galaxies including our own, are formed by the activity of young and massive stars (supernova explosions and stellar winds), but the formation of these structures may be linked to other energetic events, such as interactions of high-velocity clouds with the galactic disc. The larger structures in particular significantly influence their surroundings; their walls are often places where molecular clouds reside and where star formation happens. We explore the HI supershell GS242-03+37, a large structure in the outer Milky Way. Its size and position make it a good case for studying the effects of large shells on their surrounding. We perform numerical simulations of the structure with the simplified hydrodynamical code RING, which uses the thin-shell approximation. The best fit is found by a comparison with the HI data and then we compare our model with the distribution of star clusters near this supershell. The best model of GS242-03+37 requires, contrary to previous estimates, a relatively low amount of energy, and it has an old age of $\sim$ 100 Myr. We also find that the distribution of young star clusters (with ages $
