description: In the pre-digital age, when electronically stored information was non-existent, the only ways of creating representations of social networks were by hand through surveys, inter- views, and observations. In this digital age of the internet, numerous indications of social interactions and associations are available electronically in an easy to access manner as structured meta-data. This lessens our dependence on manual surveys and interviews for creating and studying social networks. However, there are sources of networks that remain untouched simply because they are not associated with any meta-data. Primary examples of such sources include the vast amounts of literary texts, news articles, content of emails, and other forms of unstructured and semi-structured texts.
      The main contribution of this thesis is the introduction of natural language processing and applied machine learning techniques for uncovering social networks in such sources of unstructured and semi-structured texts. Specifically, we propose three novel techniques for mining social networks from three types of texts: unstructured texts (such as literary texts), emails, and movie screenplays. For each of these types of texts, we demonstrate the utility of the extracted networks on three applications (one for each type of text).
A review and evaluation of the use of longitudinal approaches in business surveys

description: Business surveys are not generally considered to be longitudinal by design. However, the largest businesses are almost always included in each wave of recurrent surveys because they are essential for producing good estimates; and short-period business surveys frequently make use of rotating panel designs to improve the estimates of change by inducing sample overlaps between different periods. These design features mean that business surveys share some methodological challenges with longitudinal surveys. We review the longitudinal methods and approaches which can be used to improve the design and operation of business surveys, giving examples of their use. We also look in the other direction, considering the aspects of longitudinal analysis which have the potential to improve the accuracy, relevance and interpretation of business survey outputs.
Four Observations On Modern International Commercial Policy Under Floating Exchange Rates

Year: 1981
Subjects: Research Methods/ Statistical Methods

description: This paper describes the essential similarity between "modern" commercial policy, with its rent-like revenues, and capital transfers. Import barriers are shown to have consequently ambiguous effects on nominal and real exchange rates. The paper also examines some important supply-side welfare costs and consequences of import barriers through their influence on current asset prices and future capital formation. The model on which the observations are based is an aggregated fixed-endowment, full-employment, general-equilibrium model similar to those used in the pure theory of international trade, with financial capital and foreign exchange markets that are integrated in a manner consistent with the asset/portfolio-balance approach to exchange rates. The model is empirically calibrated to reflect the U.S. and the rest of the world in the early 1980's. In this empirical stylization, U.S. import barriers are shown (i) to reduce national consumption possibilities more significantly than is usually thought to be the case; (ii) to discourage U.S. physical capital formation; and (iii) to have significant yet variable effects on exchange rates, where the variability depends on the distribution between the U.S. and the rest of the world of the rent-like revenues implicit in the import barriers. It is notable that the more favorable this distribution to the U.S. the larger is the dollar depreciation caused by import barriers.

description: We introduce the problem of unsupervised classification of quantum data, namely, of systems whose quantum states are unknown. We derive the optimal single-shot protocol for the binary case, where the states in a disordered input array are of two types. Our protocol is universal and able to automatically sort the input under minimal assumptions, yet partially preserving information contained in the states. We quantify analytically its performance for arbitrary size and dimension of the data. We contrast it with the performance of its classical counterpart, which clusters data that has been sampled from two unknown probability distributions. We find that the quantum protocol fully exploits the dimensionality of the quantum data to achieve a much higher performance, provided data is at least three-dimensional. For the sake of comparison, we discuss the optimal protocol when the classical and quantum states are known.

Social networks

description: This research investigates organizational clustering and social networks around Praça Tiradentes in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Through a modified method of Social Network Analysis (SNA) clustering is understood at the local scale and highlights key issues surrounding the structural and territorial makeup of an area. SNA originated out of qualitative empirical investigation of small-scale social groups. With new technologies and the growth of SNA as an analytical tool its applications have been used to quantitatively understand large-scale phenomenon. This study combines social network analysis' theoretical framework for both qualitative and quantitative research and adds a new approach to SNA at the local level. Using onsite data collection and the open sourced platform, Gephi, this study not only illustrates connectivity and relations among stakeholders, it also statistically identifies differences in stakeholder's relationships and uncovers embedded clusters with a social network. The importance of organizations' activities and the interplay within the cultural sector and across sectors is elucidated, giving value and improved knowledge of the intricate and complex nature of small to medium scale agglomerations. The cultural economy as a term has been used to promulgate economic development and urban regeneration processes in cities across the globe. But many times the discussion falls short of understanding local activity, and the needs of local organizations and actors involved. Important characteristics of stakeholder connectivity, power dynamics, and knowledge sharing are revealed and give multi-layered insight into the social, political and economic activities around Praça Tiradentes. Specific recommendations are contextualized and given for the area. The ability to build, sustain, and expand agglomerations of productive local activity and avoid contrary path selections is discussed. This should add a new and rich layer to local planning and policy discussions.

Social Power in Interactions: Computational Analysis and Detection of Power Relations

Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2015
Subjects: Computer science

description: In this thesis, I investigate whether social power relations are manifested in the language and structure of social interactions, and if so, in what ways, and whether we can use the insights gained from this study to build computational systems that can automatically identify these power relations by analyzing social interactions. To further understand these manifestations, I extend this study in two ways. First, I investigate whether a person’s gender and the gender makeup of an interaction (e.g., are most participants female?) affect the manifestations of his/her power (or lack of it) and whether it can help improve the predictive performance of an automatic power prediction system. Second, I investigate whether different types of power manifest differently in interactions, and whether they exhibit different but predictable patterns. I perform this study on interactions from two different genres: organizational emails, which contain task oriented written interactions, and political debates, which contain discursive spoken interactions.

description: The explicit relationship is determined between the interior properties of a static cylindrical matter distribution and the metric of the exterior space-time according to Einstein gravity for space-time dimensionality larger or equal to four. This is achieved through use of a coordinate system isotropic in the transverse coordinates. As a corollary, similar results are obtained for a spherical matter distribution in Brans-Dicke gravity for dimensions larger than or equal to three. The approach used here leads to consistency conditions for those parameters characterizing the exterior metric. It is shown that these conditions are equivalent to the requirement of hydrostatic equilibrium of the matter distribution (generalized Oppenheimer-Volkoff equations). These conditions lead to a consistent Newtonian limit where pressures and the gravitational constant go to zero at the same rate.

description: Werden gleichartige oder ungleichartige metallische Werkstoffe gemeinsam bei Raumtemperatur plastisch verformt, so kann es zu örtlichen Verschweißungen kommen. Dieser Effekt läßt sich beim Kaltpreßschweißen technologisch nutzen. Die bei diesem Verfahren ablaufenden Bindevorgänge sind von besonderem Interesse, weil ihre Kenntnis Rückschlüsse auf die Grundlagen des Schweißens im festen Zustand zuläßt und weil darüber hinaus Beziehungen zu Nachbargebieten wie Reibung und Verschleiß, Sintern, Oberflächentechnik und Warmpreßschweißen bestehen.
In einem Gedankenmodell lassen sich die für eine Bindung zwischen zwei metallischen Partnern erforderlichen Bedingungen, wenn die Bindung bei Raumtemperatur ohne Anwendung von Druck, Verformung und Temperatur stattfinden soll, leicht formulieren: Spiegelbildlich gleiche Oberflächengestalt bis hinab zur atomaren Größenordnung von 10^-4 [my]m, Abwesenheit von gasförmigen, flüssigen oder festen Fremdschichten auf diesen Oberflächen und das Vorhandensein wirksamer Oberflächenkräfte, die den im Inneren der Metalle vorhandenen Bindekräften entsprechen. Wären diese Bedingungen erfüllt, genügte das Aneinanderlegen der Teile, um eine vollkommene Verbindung zu erhalten, wobei das System in einen Zustand niedrigerer Energie überginge. Tatsächlich sind diese Bedingungen in der Regel nicht erfüllt. Die Oberflächen sind uneben und mit Fremdschichten bedeckt und es ergibt sich die Frage, wie man sich experimentell dem Gedankenmodell nähern kann, um dessen Richtigkeit beweisen und eine Bindung im festen Zustand bei Raumtemperatur ohne Wärmezufuhr und ohne Anwendung von Druck und Verformung realisieren zu können.

description: The concept of topological phases has been generalized to higher-order topological insulators and superconductors with novel boundary states on corners or hinges. Meanwhile, recent experimental advances in controlling dissipation (such as gain and loss) open new possibilities in studying non-Hermitian topological phases. Here, we show that higher-order topological corner states can emerge by simply introducing staggered on-site gain/loss to a Hermitian system in trivial phases. For such a non-Hermitian system, we establish a general bulk-corner correspondence by developing a biorthogonal nested-Wilson-loop and edge-polarization theory, which can be applied to a wide class of non-Hermitian systems with higher-order topological orders. The theory gives rise to topological invariants characterizing the non-Hermitian topological multipole moments (i.e., corner states) that are protected by reflection or chiral symmetry. Such gain/loss induced higher-order topological corner states can be experimentally realized using photons in coupled cavities or cold atoms in optical lattices.

description: In this paper we present an algorithm for construction of minimal involutive polynomial bases which are Groebner bases of the special form. The most general involutive algorithms are based on the concept of involutive monomial division which leads to partition of variables into multiplicative and non-multiplicative. This partition gives thereby the self-consistent computational procedure for constructing an involutive basis by performing non-multiplicative prolongations and multiplicative reductions. Every specific involutive division generates a particular form of involutive computational procedure. In addition to three involutive divisions used by Thomas, Janet and Pommaret for analysis of partial differential equations we define two new ones. These two divisions, as well as Thomas division, do not depend on the order of variables. We prove noetherity, continuity and constructivity of the new divisions that provides correctness and termination of involutive algorithms for any finite set of input polynomials and any admissible monomial ordering. We show that, given an admissible monomial ordering, a monic minimal involutive basis is uniquely defined and thereby can be considered as canonical much like the reduced Groebner basis.

description: The master equation for a damped spin well known from the theory of superradiance, is written as a finite-difference equation and solved by a WKB-like method. The propagator thus obtained looks like the van Vleck propagator of a certain classical Hamiltonian system with one degree of freedom. A new interpretation is provided of the temporal broadening of initially sharp probability distributions as the analogue of the spreading of the quantum mechanical wave packet.

description: A search for Bs0-Bs0bar oscillations is performed using a sample of 400,000 hadronic Z0 decays collected by the SLD experiment. The Bs0 candidates are reconstructed in the Bs0 to Ds-,X channel with Ds- to phi,pi- or K*0K-. The Bs0 production flavor is determined using the large forward-backward asymmetry of polarized Z0 to b,bbar decays and charge information in the hemisphere opposite that of the Bs0 candidate. The decay flavor is tagged by the charge of the Ds+/-. From a sample of 361 candidates with an average Bs0 purity of 40%, we exclude the following values of the oscillation frequency: Delta m_s < 1.4 ps^{-1} and 2.4 < Delta m_s < 5.3 ps^{-1} at the 95% confidence level.

description: We investigate the dynamics of axion-like particle (ALP) dark matter where the field range is enlarged by a monodromy. The monodromy potential allows sufficient production of dark matter also at larger couplings to the Standard Model particles. The potential typically features a number of "wiggles" that lead to a rapid growth of fluctuations. Using classical-statistical field theory simulations we go beyond the linear regime and treat the system in the non-linear and even non-perturbative regime. For sufficiently strong wiggles the initially homogeneous field is completely converted into fluctuations. The fluctuations correspond to dark matter particles with a non-vanishing velocity and we consider the corresponding restrictions from structure formation as well as the effects on today's dark matter density. Since all the dark matter is made up from these strong fluctuations, the dark matter density features large, $\mathcal{O}(1)$ fluctuations at scales $\lesssim 10^{6}\,{\rm km}\sqrt{{\rm eV}/m_a}$.

description: This work looks to develop a graphing solution within a niche that hasn’t yet been covered. Through surveying and research, I demonstrate a need for a graphing software that provides ease-of-use alongside complex capabilities among my target demographic - undergraduates and A-level students. To this end, I have written a graphing software, with aims centred around its accessibility, feature set, and utility in teaching. I have quantified this software’s adherence to these aims through a task (involving the software) which was followed by a survey. However, the software was not able to meet all the aims set out for it, struggling with accessibility and issues with methodology. I have critiqued my software and methodology, offered solutions to the issues presented, and provided guidance on the next steps for this project.

description: Quantum annealing (QA) is a heuristic algorithm for finding low-energy configurations of a system, with applications in optimization, machine learning, and quantum simulation. Up to now, all implementations of QA have been limited to qubits coupled via a single degree of freedom. This gives rise to a stoquastic Hamiltonian that has no sign problem in quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) simulations. In this paper, we report implementation and measurements of two superconducting flux qubits coupled via two canonically conjugate degrees of freedom (charge and flux) to achieve a nonstoquastic Hamiltonian. Such coupling can enhance performance of QA processors, extend the range of quantum simulations. We perform microwave spectroscopy to extract circuit parameters and show that the charge coupling manifests itself as a YY interaction in the computational basis. We observe destructive interference in quantum coherent oscillations between the computational basis states of the two-qubit system. Finally, we show that the extracted Hamiltonian is nonstoquastic over a wide range of parameters.

description: We construct an approximate renormalization scheme for Hamiltonian systems with two degrees of freedom. This scheme is a combination of Kolmogorov-Arnold-Moser (KAM) theory and renormalization-group techniques. It makes the connection between the approximate renormalization procedure derived by Escande and Doveil, and a systematic expansion of the transformation. In particular, we show that the two main approximations, consisting in keeping only the quadratic terms in the actions and the two main resonances, keep the essential information on the threshold of the breakup of invariant tori.

description: The conventional approach to fixed-order perturbative QCD predictions is based on an arbitrary choice of the renormalization scale, together with an arbitrary range. This {\it ad hoc} assignment of the renormalization scale causes the coefficients of the QCD running coupling at each perturbative order to be strongly dependent on the choice of both the renormalization scale and the renormalization scheme. However, such ambiguities are not necessary, since as a basic requirement of renormalization group invariance (RGI), any physical observable must be independent of the choice of both the renormalization scheme and the renormalization scale. In fact, if one uses the {\it Principle of Maximum Conformality} (PMC) to fix the renormalization scale, the coefficients of the pQCD series match the series of conformal theory, and they are thus scheme independent. It has been found that the elimination of the scale and scheme ambiguities at all orders relies heavily on how precisely we know the analytic form of the QCD running coupling $α_s$. In this review, we summarize the known properties of the QCD running coupling and its recent progresses, especially for its behavior within the asymptotic region. We also summarize the current progress on the PMC and some of its typical applications, showing to what degree the conventional renormalization scheme-and-scale ambiguities can be eliminated after applying the PMC. We also compare the PA approach for the conventional scale-dependent pQCD series and the PMC scale-independent conformal series. We observe that by using the conformal series, the PA approach can provide a more reliable estimate of the magnitude of the uncalculated terms. And if the conformal series for an observable has been calculated up to $n_{\rm th}$-order level, then the $[N/M]=[0/n-1]$-type PA series provides an important estimate for the higher-order terms.

description: We introduce new definitions of states and of representations of covariance systems. The GNS-construction is generalized to this context. It associates a representation with each state of the covariance system. Next, states are extended to states of an appropriate covariance algebra. Two applications are given. We describe a nonrelativistic quantum particle, and we give a simple description of the quantum spacetime model introduced by Doplicher et al.

AKOBEN : Ghana’s new initiative for environmental performance rating and disclosure in the mining sector
Creators: name: Sekyi, Ransford
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The AKOBEN program is an environmental performance rating and disclosure initiative of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Government of Ghana. Under the AKOBEN initiative, the environmental performance of mining and manufacturing operations is assessed using a five-color rating scheme. The five colors are GOLD, BLUE, GREEN, ORANGE and RED, indicating environmental performance ranging from excellent to poor. These ratings are annually disclosed to the general public and the media, and it aims to strengthen public awareness and participation. AKOBEN ratings are evaluated by analyzing more than one hundred performance indicators that include quantitative data as well as qualitative and visual information. These ratings measure the environmental performance of companies based on their day-to-day operations once they have successfully cleared their Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA) and obtained their environmental permit to operate. These ratings indicate how well companies have met the commitments they made in their EIAs at the planning stage. AKOBEN, therefore, complements the EIA process and serves as a monitoring and verification program to ensure that companies follow environmental regulations on a continual basis.[All papers were considered for technical and language appropriateness by the organizing committee.]

description: The quality of our lives can be characterized, in part, by the emotions we experience.  Feeling a preponderance of negative emotions is characteristic of a range of psychological and affective disorders.  As such, the ability to regulate emotions has been recognized as critical for maintaining mental health.  While definitions of emotions abound, they have been primarily conceptualized as intrapersonal responses to one’s environment.  Yet, while our social interactions are an inseparable aspect of our emotional lives, relatively little emphasis has been placed in prior research on the social bases of emotional experiences.  This dissertation presents three bodies of research that investigate the role of social processes in experiencing and regulating negative emotions.
      In the first body of research, I present four studies that investigate how empathy, the ability to experience another person’s emotions, is involved in experiencing anxiety.  In the second body of research, I transition to investigating the social bases of emotion regulation.  Here, I present two multi-phase studies that investigate how social emotion regulation may be best implemented to help others experiencing different kinds of negative emotions.  The third body of research investigates the neural bases of social emotion regulation.  The results of these studies highlight how social processes are an inherent part of emotional experiences and emotion regulation.

Social Support Networks of the Blind and Visually Impaired Young Adults

Year: 1991
Subjects: Social sciences--Research

description: This research was undertaken to analyze and to describe the social support networks of a non-random sample of 55 legally blind and visually impaired young adults, 20 to 50 years, inclusive. Modified versions of the Arizona Social Support Inventory Scale (Barrera, 1981, 1983), and the Network Analysis Profile (Cohen and Sokolovsky, 1978) were used to examine key aspects of network structure and to evaluate the attributes of network links.

Results from this study indicate that with the exception of network size, the level of visual impairment may have less impact on network structure than such factors as age of onset of blindness, type of school attended, acceptance of blindness, marital status, gender, and mastery.

Study findings also contribute some support for optimism with regard to the level of social integration achieved by study subjects. The majority of men and women in the sample showed evidence of access to all essential varieties of social support including: companionship, advice, material assistance, physical assistance, affirmation, and emotional support. A relatively small percentage of the total sample lacked access to all six of the above listed dimensions of social support. Only two of fifty-five subjects had networks that contained fewer than five persons. The average network contained ten persons. Subjects with the smallest networks were prone to be less educated, unmarried/formerly married, and unemployed. Stepwise multiple regression procedures identified employment status, mastery, level of functional vision, and gender as significant predictors of expanded networks.

Young adult subjects clearly considered kin as their first line of social support. Kin supporters outnumbered nonkin supporters by close to two to one, however, nonkin proved to contribute a larger proportion of total support than did kin. Degree of visual impairment did not influence the observed pattern of support provision, nor did age. Subjects also demonstrated heavy reliance upon friends, spouses and siblings in the form of a high percentage of multi-dimensional ties.

Subjects identified their immediate social surroundings as the context most frequently associated with the origination of new friendships. However, organized programs sponsored and operated by agencies that serve blind and visually impaired persons were frequently associated with the origination of new nonkin ties. Significant relationships also linked residential school attendance to a number of psychosocial measures that indicate successful adjustment to blindness.
Intertwined Topological Phases induced by Emergent Symmetry Protection

description: The dual role played by symmetry in many-body physics manifests itself through two fundamental mechanisms: spontaneous symmetry breaking and topological symmetry protection. These two concepts, ubiquitous in both condensed matter and high energy physics, have been applied successfully in the last decades to unravel a plethora of complex phenomena. Their interplay, however, remains largely unexplored. Here we report how, in the presence of strong correlations, symmetry protection emerges dynamically from a set of configurations enforced by another broken symmetry. This novel mechanism spawns different intertwined topological phases, where topological properties coexist with long-range order. Such a singular interplay gives rise to interesting static and dynamical effects, including interaction-induced topological phase transitions constrained by symmetry breaking, as well as a self-adjusted fractional pumping. This work paves the way for further exploration of exotic topological features in strongly-correlated quantum systems.
Involutive Division Technique: Some Generalizations and Optimizations

description: In this paper, in addition to the earlier introduced involutive divisions, we consider a new class of divisions induced by admissible monomial orderings. We prove that these divisions are noetherian and constructive. Thereby each of them allows one to compute an involutive Groebner basis of a polynomial ideal by sequentially examining multiplicative reductions of nonmultiplicative prolongations. We study dependence of involutive algorithms on the completion ordering. Based on properties of particular involutive divisions two computational optimizations are suggested. One of them consists in a special choice of the completion ordering. Another optimization is related to recomputing multiplicative and nonmultiplicative variables in the course of the algorithm.

description: In this brief note, we establish a novel criterion for robustness of global asymptotic stability of zero solution of LTV system $\dot x=A(t)x$ in the presence of possibly unbounded perturbations (external disturbances). To prove the result, logarithmic norm will be used under which the stability becomes a topological notion depending on the chosen vector norm in the state-space $\mathbb{R}^n.$
