description: We study the Hawking process on lattices falling into static black holes. The motivation is to understand how the outgoing modes and Hawking radiation can arise in a setting with a strict short distance cutoff in the free-fall frame. We employ two-dimensional free scalar field theory. For a falling lattice with a discrete time-translation symmetry we use analytical methods to establish that, for Killing frequency $ω$ and surface gravity $κ$ satisfying $κ\llω^{1/3}\ll 1$ in lattice units, the continuum Hawking spectrum is recovered. The low frequency outgoing modes arise from exotic ingoing modes with large proper wavevectors that "refract" off the horizon. In this model with time translation symmetry the proper lattice spacing goes to zero at spatial infinity. We also consider instead falling lattices whose proper lattice spacing is constant at infinity and therefore grows with time at any finite radius. This violation of time translation symmetry is visible only at wavelengths comparable to the lattice spacing, and it is responsible for transmuting ingoing high Killing frequency modes into low frequency outgoing modes.

The Paradox of Antimilitarism: Civil-Military Relations in Post World War II Japan

description: The changing security environment in Asia has led to a renewed interest in the Japanese Self Defense Forces (SDF). However, the SDF itself remains a black box: assessed either in terms of its problematic legal standing or physical military capacity, but with limited understanding of the people within; who they are, what they do, and how they think.
      This dissertation opens up the black box and brings the SDF officers into the analysis of civil-military relations in post-war Japan. I present a theoretical framework inspired by principal-agent theory, in which I hypothesize that the type of control (ex-ante or ex-post) and preference divergence between the civilians and the military produces four different outcomes in civil-military relations: containment, auto pilot, conflictual, and cooperative (possibly excessive). I examine how civil-military relations in Japan evolved over time and across three realms of defense policy making, budget, personnel, and use of force; utilizing the findings from an opinion survey conducted among SDF officers and civilian elite addressing the "civil-military gap," oral history records of former SDF leaders and civilian defense officials, and interviews with active duty SDF officers and civilian officials.
      My research shows that civil-military relations in Japan was generally calm, not because the ex-ante constraints were strong and suppressed the opposing views of the SDF, but because the policy preferences of SDF officers and civilian bureaucracy converged in support of the alliance relationship with the United States. Such preference convergence made it possible for the politicians to continue "auto-pilot control" of the SDF, which was convenient for politicians who preferred to avoid dealing with military matters in face of the anti-militaristic public. However, this led to two paradoxical outcomes: (1) the SDF came to enjoy their relative autonomy within the ex-ante constraints, and (2) the ex-ante constraints turned out to be self-binding for politicians, possibly hampering their ability to control the SDF ex-post.
      Institutional changes through the electoral and administrative reforms in the 1990s along with the perceived changes in the security environment surrounding Japan enhanced both the incentive and capacity of politicians to release the ex-ante constraints and to control the SDF in their own hands. Re-interpretation of the constitution to allow for collective self defense is a step in the same direction. Looking towards the future, the shift from ex-ante to ex-post control may result in tension between the civilians and SDF officers, in cases where their preferences diverge.

description: Some of the most sensitive and precise measurements to date are based on matterwave interferometry with freely falling atomic clouds. Examples include high-precision measurements of inertia, gravity and rotation. In order to achieve these very high sensitivities, the interrogation time has to be very long and consequently the experimental apparatus has to be very tall, in some cases reaching ten or even one hundred meters. Cancelling gravitational acceleration, e.g. in atomtronic circuits6,7 and matterwave guides, will result in compact devices having much extended interrogation times and thus much increased sensitivity both for fundamental and practical measurements. In this letter, we demonstrate extremely smooth and controllable matterwave guides by transporting Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC) over macroscopic distances: We use a novel neutral-atom accelerator ring to bring BECs to very high speeds (16x their velocity of sound) and transport them in a magnetic matterwave guide for 15 cm whilst fully preserving their internal coherence. The high angular momentum of more than 40000h per atom gives access to the higher Landau levels of quantum Hall states. The hypersonic velocities combined with our ability to control the potentials with pico-Kelvin precision open new perspectives in the study of superfluidity and give rise to new regimes of tunnelling and transport. Coherent matterwave guides are expected to enable interaction times of several seconds in highly compact devices. These developments will result in portable guided-atom interferometers for applications such as inertial navigation and gravity mapping.

description: The major difficulty in developing theories for anomalous scaling in hydrodynamic turbulence is the lack of a small parameter. In this Letter we introduce a shell model of turbulence that exhibits anomalous scaling with a tunable small parameter. The small parameter $ε$ represents the ratio between deterministic and random components in the coupling between $N$ identical copies of the turbulent field. We show that in the limit $N\to \infty$ anomalous scaling sets in proportional to $ε^4$. Moreover we give strong evidences that the birth of anomalous scaling appears at a finite critical $ε$, being $ε_c\approx 0.6$.

description: Segregation of populations is a key question in evolution theory. One important aspect is the relation between spatial organization and the population's composition. Here we study a specific example -- sectors in expanding bacterial colonies. Such sectors are spatially segregated sub-populations of mutants. The sectors can be seen both in disk-shaped colonies and in branching colonies. We study the sectors using two models we have used in the past to study bacterial colonies -- a continuous reaction-diffusion model with non-linear diffusion and a discrete ``Communicating Walkers'' model. We find that in expanding colonies, and especially in branching colonies, segregation processes are more likely than in a spatially static population. One such process is the establishment of stable sub- population having neutral mutation. Another example is the maintenance of wild-type population along side with sub-population of advantageous mutants. Understanding such processes in bacterial colonies is an important subject by itself, as well as a model system for similar processes in other spreading populations.

description: A number of determinants predict the adoption of Information Systems (IS) security innovations. Amongst, perceived vulnerability of IS security threats has been examined in a number of past explorations. In this research, we examined the processes pursued in analysing the relationship between perceived vulnerability of IS security threats and the adoption of IS security innovations. The study uses Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method to evaluate the practice involved in examining perceived vulnerability on IS security innovation adoption. The SLR findings revealed the appropriateness of the existing empirical investigations of the relationship between perceived vulnerability of IS security threats on IS security innovation adoption. Furthermore, the SLR results confirmed that individuals who perceives vulnerable to an IS security threat are more likely to engage in the adoption an IS security innovation. In addition, the study validates the past studies on the relationship between perceived vulnerability and IS security innovation adoption.

description: The Parrot and the Cannon. Journalism, Literature and Politics in the Formation of Latin American Identities explores the emergence of literary journalism in Latin America as a central aspect in the formation of national identities. Focusing on five periods in Latin American history from the post-colonial times until the 1960s, it follows the evolution of this narrative genre in parallel with the consolidation of professional journalism, the modern Latin American mass media and the formation of nation states. In the process, this dissertation also studies literary journalism as a genre, as a professional practice, and most importantly as a political instrument. By exploring the connections between journalism, literature and politics, this dissertation also illustrates the difference between the notions of factuality, reality and journalistic truth as conceived in Latin America and the United States, while describing the origins of Latin American militant journalism as a social-historical formation.

New mapping techniques for some linear algebraic functions are recalled. A new mapping for geometrical transformation operations is introduced and their performance on the M1 system is evaluated. The translation and scaling transformation addressed in this mapping employ some vector-vector and vector-scalar operations [6-7]. A performance analysis study of the M1 RC system is also presented to evaluate the efficiency of the algorithm execution. Numerical examples were simulated to validate our results, using the MorphoSys mULATE program, which emulates M1 operations.

We also compare the results with the ones presented in an earlier literature, where the ${\cal O}(α_{s})$ SUSY-QCD corrections to the same three decay processes have been calculated. Our numerical results show that for the decays $\tilde t_2\to \tilde t_1 + h^{0}$, $\tilde t_2\to \tilde t_1 + H^{0}$, the Yukawa corrections are significant in most of the parameter range, which can reach a few ten percent, and for the decay $\tilde t_2\to\tilde t_1 + A^{0}$, the Yukawa corrections are relatively smaller, which are only a few percent. The numerical calculations also show that using the running quark masses and the running trilinear coupling $A_t$, which include the QCD, SUSY-QCD, SUSY-Electroweak effects and resume all high order ($\tanβ$)-enhanced effects, can vastly improve the convergence of the perturbation expansion. We also discuss the effects of the running of the higgsino mass parameter $μ$ on the corrections, and find that they are significant, too, especially for large $\tanβ$.

Large enhancement of the thermoelectric power factor in disordered materials through resonant scattering

description: In the search for more efficient thermoelectric materials, scientists have placed high hopes in the possibility of enhancing the power factor using resonant states. In this study, we investigate theoretically the effects of randomly distributed resonant impurities on the power factor. Using the Chebyshev Polynomial Green's Function method, we compute the electron transport properties for very large systems (10 million atoms) with an exact treatment of disorder. The introduction of resonant defects can lead to a large enhancement of the power factor together with a sign inversion in the Seebeck coefficient. This boost depends crucially on the position of the resonant peak, and on the interplay between elastic impurity scattering and inelastic processes. Strong electron-phonon or electron-electron scattering are found detrimental. Finally, the robustness of our results is examined in the case of anisotropic orbitals and two-dimensional confinement. Our findings are promising for the prospect of thermoelectric power generation.

description: “The Pastoral Field: Local Ecologies in Early Modern Literature” excavates the ways in which pastoral literature registers the role nature-human interaction played in shaping protracted struggles over land use and ownership, and in the degradation and improvement of natural landscapes. Revising a longstanding critical tradition that understands early modern pastoral as primarily allegorical, the project instead insists that the form can also accommodate topical thinking about regional ecologies. Shifting the emphasis away from the Elizabethan court towards local agricultural politics, it unearths the ways in which natural crises such as flooding, famine, sheep rot, and soil degradation hastened processes of agricultural improvement and enclosure—and how those processes were in turn mediated, counter-factually imagined, and actively promoted within the literary devices of pastoral. Each of my four chapters locates pastoral plays, poems, romances, and country-house entertainments in the particular landscapes that shaped their development— landscapes that were, in turn, reconfigured by the literary and political concerns of Elizabethan authors.

description: In this note we study the structure of diffeomorphism anomalies in 3+1 canonical gravity coupled to a chiral massless fermion. We find that when the spatial manifold is S^3 or a Lens space L(p,q), the first homotopy group of the related diffeomorphism group can be nontrivial and hence the question of global anomalies becomes relevant. Here we show that for gravity coupled to SU(2) chiral fermions, assuming the strong form of the Hatcher conjecture, SU(2)-induced diffeomorphism anomalies do not occur whenever the spatial manifold is S^3 or a Lens space.

Thus the corresponding intersection numbers computed in the Chow (and quantum Chow) rings of these varieties are enumerative in all characteristics. We show that known transversality results do not apply to these enumerative problems, emphasizing the need for additional theoretical work on transversality. The method of proof also strengthens some results in real enumerative geometry.

description: Electrical currents in a quantum spin Hall insulator are confined to the boundary of the system. The charge carriers can be described as massless relativistic particles, whose spin and momentum are coupled to each other. While the helical character of those states is by now well established experimentally, it is a fundamental open question how those edge states interact with each other when brought in spatial proximity. We employ a topological quantum point contact to guide edge channels from opposite sides into a quasi-one-dimensional constriction, based on inverted HgTe quantum wells. Apart from the expected quantization in integer steps of $2 e^2/h$, we find a surprising additional plateau at $e^2/h$. We explain our observation by combining band structure calculations and repulsive electron-electron interaction effects captured within the Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid model. The present results may have direct implications for the study of one-dimensional helical electron quantum optics, Majorana- and potentially para-fermions.

description: Predicting the remaining useful life of machinery, infrastructure, or other equipment can facilitate preemptive maintenance decisions, whereby a failure is prevented through timely repair or replacement. This allows for a better decision support by considering the anticipated time-to-failure and thus promises to reduce costs. Here a common baseline may be derived by fitting a probability density function to past lifetimes and then utilizing the (conditional) expected remaining useful life as a prognostic. This approach finds widespread use in practice because of its high explanatory power. A more accurate alternative is promised by machine learning, where forecasts incorporate deterioration processes and environmental variables through sensor data. However, machine learning largely functions as a black-box method and its forecasts thus forfeit most of the desired interpretability. As our primary contribution, we propose a structured-effect neural network for predicting the remaining useful life which combines the favorable properties of both approaches: its key innovation is that it offers both a high accountability and the flexibility of deep learning. The parameters are estimated via variational Bayesian inferences. The different approaches are compared based on the actual time-to-failure for aircraft engines. This demonstrates the performance and superior interpretability of our method, while we finally discuss implications for decision support.

description: This study examines the various ways that Central American migrants traversing Mexico’s southern border interpret, negotiate, and resist conditions of immobilization imposed by state refugee policy and other institutional impediments to northbound movement. My findings are informed by 12 months of ethnographic fieldwork in Tapachula, Chiapas, followed by an additional six, non-consecutive weeks in various sites of transit across Mexico as a Human Rights Observer in the migrant caravans of 2017 and 2018. Since 2011, as a result of increasing rates of violence, flows of Central American women, youth, and families across Mexico’s southern border have risen substantially. In efforts to curb northbound movement, the US has exerted significant pressure for the Mexican government to assume a greater role in the retention, organization, and deterrence of prospective refugee populations, resulting in the temporary resettlement along the southern border of thousands of migrants seeking international protection. Many of these migrants find themselves in a liminal space of legal and social uncertainty in which they must contend with a range of limitations and distinct possibilities as they consider their ongoing trajectories. Through close attention to the social worlds that emerge around and within migrants’ transit communities, I explore central themes related to the existentiality of im/mobility, gendered experiences of transit migration, the paradoxes of institutional practices of refugee protection within predominant transit zones, and diverse forms of resilience and coping that are given breadth through collective travel. Ultimately, I argue that it is critical to explore the narratives and lived realities of those most affected by migration-centered policy and discourse, and to recognize the critical role that migrants play in challenging and reimagining the terms of their in/exclusion.

description: Despite the great progress in quadrupedal robotics during the last decade, selecting good contacts (footholds) in highly uneven and cluttered environments still remains an open challenge. This paper builds upon a state-of-the-art approach, already successfully used for humanoid robots, and applies it to our robotic platform; the quadruped robot ANY-mal. The proposed algorithm decouples the problem into two subprob-lems: first a guide trajectory for the robot is generated, then contacts are created along this trajectory. Both subproblems rely on approximations and heuristics that need to be tuned. The main contribution of this work is to explain how this algorithm has been retuned to work with ANY-mal and to show the relevance of the approach with a variety of tests in realistic dynamic simulations.
The Parity of Analytic Ranks among Quadratic Twists of Elliptic Curves over Number Fields

description: The parity of the analytic rank of an elliptic curve is given by the root number in the functional equation L(E,s). Fixing an elliptic curve over any number eld and considering the family of its quadratic twists, it is natural to ask what the average analytic rank in this family is. A lower bound on this number is given by the average root number. In this paper, we investigate the root number in such families and derive an asymptotic formula for the proportion of curves in the family that have even rank. Our results are then used to support a conjecture about the average analytic rank in this family of elliptic curves.

description: We analyze the field theory of fully developed Burgers turbulence. Its key elements are shock fields, which characterize the singularity statistics of the velocity field. The shock fields enter an operator product expansion describing intermittency. The latter is found to be constrained by dynamical anomalies expressing finite dissipation in the inviscid limit. The link between dynamical anomalies and intermittency is argued to be important in a wider context of turbulence.

Investigating the Effect of miR-145-5p Inhibition with an Antisense Oligonucleotide on Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis

description: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, inflammatory disease of the central nervous system. MS is caused by the immune-mediated destruction of myelin and oligodendrocytes, resulting in demyelination and neurodegeneration. The microRNA miR-145-5p has been demonstrated to be upregulated in MS lesions. Our lab has previously shown that dysregulation of miR-145-5p can interfere with oligodendrocyte differentiation in mice and that knockout of miR-145-5p protects mice from experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), a model for MS. The objective of this study is to determine if inhibition of miR-145-5p with an antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) is sufficient to protect mice from EAE. Female mice were induced with EAE and then treated with a control or miR-145 ASO at the onset of disease. We evaluated disease progression by monitoring clinical severity, and evaluating molecular and structural characteristics of EAE by RT-qPCR, histology, immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy. We have shown that the miR-145 ASO reduced miR-145-5p expression in the lumbar spinal cord, spleen and thymus following EAE induction. Treatment with the miR-145-5p ASO resulted in improved clinical severity of EAE, reduced neuroinflammation and increased myelination. Inhibition of miR-145-5p may represent a novel treatment for MS.

The Partisan's Violence, Law and Apartheid:  The Assassination of Matthew Goniwe and the Cradock Four

description: This dissertation is a study of an instance of political violence that took place during 1985 in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa, but which had a wider resonance across the country. It involved the killing of four prominent anti-apartheid activists, known as the Cradock Four, by a state security death squad.  It is an instance of political violence that allows us to ask ontological questions about the relationship between law, rights and violence; colonial violence and the Cold War, as well as questions about the epistemologies that surround violence in relation to questions of justice.  Revisiting this violence, as mediated through the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, this study asks: how does this violence relate to the law itself, since apartheid was after all explicit in its claim to being the product of a legal regime? It argues that we need to think about how this violence against the Cradock Four, committed by a  'death squad'--and therefore orphaned through denial by both law and an official political narrative--related to the constitution of a South Africa political community, a political community we also have to remind ourselves, which had a colonial genealogy. To answer these questions I have traced the figures of Matthew Goniwe and his political comrades in two ways. The first half of the dissertation is a study of how they are fashioned in legal discourse--over time mainly as victims of human rights abuses through the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.  The second half of the dissertation is a study of their constitution in political discourse, where they become transformed from activists to absolute enemies of the state. In my discussion of this latter transformation, I trace and wish to recover what has become a subaltern narrative: thinking about these activists as instantiations of the forms of what I have called `the natives revolt', and therefore apartheid's concrete enemy: they are reluctant urban native subjects; neither properly rural and neither properly urban. It is this subject which I argue, finally disrupts the colonial ambitions of apartheid.
Fermionic decays of sfermions: a complete discussion at one-loop order

description: We present a definition of an on-shell renormalization scheme for the sfermion and chargino-neutralino sector of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). Then, apply this renormalization framework to the interaction between charginos/neutralinos and sfermions. A kind of universal corrections is identified, which allow to define effective chargino/neutralino coupling matrices. In turn, these interactions generate (universal) non-decoupling terms that grow as the logarithm of the heavy mass. Therefore the full MSSM spectrum must be taken into account in the computation of radiative corrections to observables involving these interactions. As an application we analyze the full one-loop electroweak radiative corrections to the partial decay widths Γ(\tilde{f} -> f\neut) and Γ(\tilde{f} -> f'\cplus) for all sfermion flavours and generations. These are combined with the QCD corrections to compute the corrected branching ratios of sfermions. It turns out that the electroweak corrections can have an important impact on the partial decay widths, as well as the branching ratios, in wide regions of the parameter space. The precise value of the corrections is strongly dependent on the correlation between the different particle masses.

description: With the help of numerical simulations in microscopic nonlinear quantum theory of coherent electromagnetic radiation interaction with a gapped bilayer graphene, we find out the optimal values of pump wave intensity, graphene temperature, and energy gap induced by a constant electric field for practically significant third order harmonic coherent emission. The Liouville-von Neumann equation is treated numerically for the third harmonic generation in multiphoton excitation regime near the Dirac points of the Brillouin zone. We examine the rates of the third harmonic at the particle-hole annihilation in the field of a strong pump wave of linear polarization for practically real/optimal parameters of a considering system. The obtained results show that by choosing the optimal values of the main characteristic parameters, a gapped bilayer graphene can serve as an effective medium for generation of the third harmonic at room temperatures in the terahertz and far infrared domains.
