Determinants of the capital structure of municipal water utility systems: an empirical study of Texas public water systems
Creators: name: Jn-Marie, Monique
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2019

description: During the past several decades, increasing awareness of public infrastructure deterioration has elevated the importance of ensuring quality water systems. Though regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), ensuring long-term sustainability of the nation’s fragmented water infrastructure and funding-related costs are largely the responsibility of municipal governments. In 2013, the EPA reported that aging drinking water pipes may cost $384 billion to repair or replace and sustain through 2030. Various factors are considered before accessing capital, each with its own motivations and consequences to the system’s risk profile. The purpose of this study was to understand the key financial and contextual determinants of municipal water systems’ capital structure, expressed as leverage. Through the lens of capital structure theories, the quantitative study involved ordinary least squares regression to examine the extent of, and directional relationship between, leverage and seven firm-level determinants: profitability, growth, liquidity, size, risk, tangibility, and age. An ANOVA allowed for examination of differences in the context of the service area population size, and ancillary analysis measured differences in leverage before, during, and after the Great Recession of 2008–2009. The most significant relationships with leverage were between liquidity and age, which supports pecking order theory assertions that the use of retained earnings is preferable to debt. Qualitative assessment of management discussions and capital improvement plans identified key elements of funding decisions that affect leverage. Additionally, although leverage of the systems serving the largest populations surpasses that of mid-range systems, those serving the smallest populations are far more leveraged than their counterparts. Qualitative findings indicated that operating margins, financial flexibility, socioeconomic considerations, contingency reserves, and debt carry the most weight in influencing funding decisions because of their collective influence on their credit risk profile. The effects of climate-related events on infrastructure and water resources factor into policy implications. A need exists for scalable and replicable subnational and municipal efforts for modernization of the water sector, data availability for better capital budgeting, and expansion of pooled financial resources, particularly for systems that lack ready access to the debt market.

The effects of portfolio characteristics and quality positioning on market performance
Creators: name: Kutlubay, Omer Cem
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2019

description: This thesis presents two essays about the effects of portfolio positioning and quality positioning practices on market performance. The first study explores the effect of portfolio characteristics on market performance in the U.S. automotive industry. Scholars from various disciplines have investigated the impact of portfolio characteristics. Nevertheless, little is known about how brands adjust in dynamic market conditions with their portfolio strategies through brand characteristics or competitor characteristics. Thus, the first essay investigates the influence of the brand‘s product portfolio characteristics on performance by integrating the competitive portfolio positioning of the brand against other brands on the market. Results provide evidence regarding the dynamic capabilities of the brand with product portfolio strategies enhancing performance.The second study examines the effects of the positioning of product quality on performance in the competitive market conditions. Quality in the marketing literature has two meanings: Perceived and objective quality. This study sheds light on how objective quality and perceived quality, the discrepancy between them, and the positioning of the quality against competitors are affecting the market performance in the context of the U.S. automobile industry. Results provide evidence on how both perceived quality and objective quality are important for the market performance, and how brands enhance performance through different benchmarking strategies. Additionally, results indicating the effects of perceived quality and objective quality on performance vary overtime. Hence, this study guides managers on how to increase performance in the short-term and long-term by the perceived quality and objective quality management. Overall, both studies shed light on how the dynamic capabilities of brands gain a competitive advantage through coordination and resource deployment, thus enhancing market performance.

Seoul sisters: trauma and wounded female bodies in Korean/Korean American women's literature
Creators: name: Lee, Jina
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2019

description: Korean/Korean American women’s traumas, as they are represented on the body, are often treated as a national allegory. This dissertation strives to complicate this interrogation by suggesting that these wounded bodies serve as sites of subversion; through the exploration of fictional works by Korean/Korean American writers, this work attempts to find a new ways of articulating the trauma that is written on the Korean American female body. Korean/Korean American literature by women writers in particular engages issues related to hybridized identities, intergenerational conflicts and trauma, diaspora, and representation. These writers explore Korean American woman’s identity and bear witness to women’s subjectivities and silenced histories. This dissertation hopes to contribute to the exposure and dissemination of these narratives.

For any $p<1$ we contruct a Lebesgue measurable set $E \subseteq \mathbb{R}$ which has measure at least $p$ in any unit interval and which contains no affine copy $\{x+ta_n:\ n\in\mathbb{N}\}$ of the given sequence (for any $x \in \mathbb{R}, t > 0$). We generalize this to higher dimensions and also for some ``non-linear'' copies of the sequence. Our method is probabilistic.

Three essays on flows of foreign students in international relations
Creators: name: Lee, Yongjae
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2019

description: As international higher education has become more popular, foreign students have played increasingly important roles in fields such as economics and public diplomacy. However, current literature does not examine the function of such students through empirical analysis, nor consider their effects upon both international security and economies. This work will demonstrate the instrumental role that foreign students play in the globalized world, and particularly in the power transition of soft power between the U.S. and China, military conflicts, and trade. By reviewing data from students from more than 175 countries, who studied in the U.S. or China, the paper will examine the students influence on such issues as: soft power gaps, resolution of military disputes, and increasing bi-lateral trade. After analyzing the available data, the conclusion is that the power transition between the U.S. and China in hard power variables military, economic globalization, materials and goods) may reduce the gap of soft power between them, and that international students contribute significantly to international peace and economic collaboration.

Seeing is not always believing: belief revision in the context of unethical firm behavior
Creators: name: Lewin, Lisa Dee
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2019

description: In this dissertation, I seek to understand how employees revise their moral beliefs in response to information regarding unethical firm behavior. In my theoretical model, I propose that employees devalue information in the moral domain when it contradicts their current beliefs. I also propose that employees are more likely to use information in their decisions and share information that confirms their beliefs. I also consider the mediating role of information evaluation and moderating role of accountability. In the current management literature, there is no widely accepted strategy to reduce the tendency for employees to disregard conflicting information. I consider different types of accountability and propose that both process accountability and non-financial outcome accountability can promote the acceptance of new information regarding unethical firm behavior and encourage an employee to make decisions based on that information. While previous accountability research has addressed several sources of bias, it has not considered biased information processing based on previously held beliefs, nor how accountability may attenuate the persistence of moral beliefs in the workplace. I test these hypotheses using two study designs (in five experiments) that simulate employee decision-making in corporate social responsibility contexts. In the first three experiments, participants assume the role of a supply chain decision maker who must choose between competing suppliers, one of which engages in human rights violations. In the fourth and fifth experiments, study participants assume the role of a human resources professional and must evaluate fictional research regarding the efficacy of affirmative action hiring policies. I find evidence that evaluation of information quality mediates the relationship between receiving belief-conflicting information and making decisions based on that information, including sharing the information. I also find evidence that accountability moderates that relationship. In all, people rate information as low quality when it conflicts with what they already believe, and as a result, they are less likely to base their decisions on that information or to share this information with others. However, when these same people are held accountable for their decision-making processes and strategies, they are more open to information that conflicts with previous moral beliefs. These findings offer important insights into the mechanisms by which employees disregard information and offer a theoretical foundation for future research on the role of accountability in information processing.

description: For G an arbitrary profinite group, we construct an algebraic model for rational G-spectra in terms of G-equivariant sheaves over the space of subgroups of G. This generalises the known case of finite groups to a much wider class of topological groups, and improves upon earlier work of the first author on the case where G is the p-adic integers.
 As the purpose of an algebraic model is to allow one to use homological algebra to study questions of homotopy theory, we prove that the homological dimension (injective dimension) of the algebraic model is determined by the Cantor--Bendixson rank of the space of closed subgroups of the profinite group G. This also provides a calculation of the homological dimension of the category of rational Mackey functors.

Data-driven operations management in bike sharing systems
Creators: name: Liu, Junming
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2019

description: The self-service bike sharing systems, which offer an environmentally friendly option for the first-and-last mile transportation, have become prevalent in urban cities. In this dissertation, I aim to integrate the advanced Data Mining techniques and Operations Management algorithms for bike sharing system daily operations management, service area expansion, and station site selection.Daily Operations Management. Due to the geographical and temporal unbalance of bike usage demand, a number of bikes need to be reallocated among stations during midnight so as to maintain a high service level of the system. To conduct such bike rebalancing operations, I develop a bike demand predictor for station pick-up demand and drop-off demand prediction. Then, a Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) model is formulated to optimize the routing problem of rebalancing vehicles. To address the challenge of computational efficiency, I propose a data-driven hierarchical optimization methodology to decompose the multi-vehicle routing problem into smaller and localized single-vehicle routing problems.Expansion Area Demand Analysis. Another key to success for a bike sharing systems expansion is the bike demand prediction for expansion areas. I develop a hierarchical station bike demand predictor which analyzes bike demands from functional zone level to station level. Specifically, I first divide the studied bike stations into functional zones by a novel Bi-clustering algorithm which is designed to cluster bike stations with similar POI characteristics and close geographical distances together. Then, the hourly bike check-ins and check-outs of functional zones are predicted by integrating three influential factors: distance preference, zone-to-zone preference, and zone characteristics. The station demand is estimated by studying the demand distributions among the stations within the same functional zone.Station Site Location Selection. In an ideal bike sharing network, the station locations are usually selected in a way that there are balanced pick-ups and drop-offs among stations. This can help avoid expensive re-balancing operations and maintain high user satisfaction. Here I propose a bike sharing network optimization approach based on an Artificial Neural Network for station demand prediction and a Genetic Algorithm for station site optimization. The goal is to enhance the quality and efficiency of the bike sharing service by selecting the right station locations.

Parametriocnemus

description: Parametriocnemus
- Four species were collected; all appear to be undescribed. Parametriocnemus sp. ZUR-1 and P. sp. ZUR-2 resemble the Nearctic P. lundbeckii (Johannsen) but have a lower AR; P. sp. ZUR-1 was 0.67–0.72; P. sp. ZUR-2 was 0.52-0.68 (for P. lundbeckii see below). Both may represent a single species; more measurements of other body parts are necessary.
Sublette (1967: 539) gave an AR of 1.40 based on a specimen (a “metatype”) from the type series; he also gave ARs of four Johannsen-determined specimens that ranged from 1.26–1.60, mean 1.36. Saether (1969) gave a range of 0.90-1.30, mean 1.12, for the AR of P. lundbeckii.
Sublette & Sasa (1994) recorded larval, pupal and adult P. lundbeckii from Guatemala. I examined 4 females and one female pupal exuviae from this Guatemalan material (no males were available). None of these specimens could be reliably identified as P. lundbeckii.
Epler (2001: 7.117) discussed a Parametriocnemus from Great Smoky National Park that had genitalia similar to P. lundbeckii but had an AR of 0.40. Two other specimens resembling P. lundbeckii from the same area have an AR of around 0.84, and I’ve also examined P. lundbeckii from the same area with “typical” ARs (~1.40). It appears obvious that a thorough study of P. lundbeckii is necessary to determine just what that species is.
According to my notes, P. sp. ZUR-4 resembles a species I have seen from northwestern Costa Rica that I had designated P. sp. CR-3. Those specimens, and other Costa Rican Parametriocnemus species, are out on loan and were not available for comparison. All of the Zurquí Parametriocnemus specimens had an AR below 1.00.

Species almost cosmopolitan, with a distribution that extends from northern Europe to north Africa and from central Asia to the Macaronesia, naturally distributed from 0 to 3000 m (Ornosa & Ortiz-Sánchez 2004). It has become increasingly important commercially for its pollination services to agriculture. This commercial translocation has resulted in its introduction and invasion in South America, New Zealand, Tasmania and Japan (Williams et al. 2012). This bee is not regarded as being scarce or threatened (Rasmont et al. 2015).

Cross-coupling of amides by N-C bond activation
Creators: name: Meng, Guangrong

description: The amide bond is one the most important functional motifs in chemistry and biology. However, despite the central role of amides as ubiquitous pharmacophores in medicinal chemistry, but also as bench-stable intermediates in organic synthesis, transition-metal- catalyzed transformations of amides by N-C bond activation have been unexplored. The major reason is that high activation energy is required for the N-C(O) bond scission due to nN→*πC=O conjugation (amide bond resonance of 15-20 kcal/mol in planar amides, ca. 40% double bond character). In 2015, we introduced a new generic mode of activation of amide bonds by geometric distortion, whereby metal insertion into an inert amide bond can proceed only if the classic Pauling's amide bond resonance has been disrupted. With this new concept put forward, we successfully developed several new types of twisted amides and metal-catalyzed transformations during my Ph.D. research.The focus of this thesis is on three parts: (1) the use of amides as acyl electrophiles in metal-catalyzed Suzuki cross-coupling reactions; (2) the use of amides as aryl electrophiles in metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions, including palladium-catalyzed Heck reaction and rhodium-catalyzed C-H bond functionalization; (3) the development of new type of amides as acyl electrophiles with the use of new Pd-NHC catalyst systems. These studies have demonstrated the potential of amides as acyl- and aryl-electrophiles in catalytic cross-coupling chemistry by activation of the typically inert amide N-C(O) bond.

description: We study the back-reaction of quantum systems onto classical ones. Taking the starting point that semi-classical physics should be described at all times by a point in classical phase space and a quantum state in Hilbert space, we consider an unravelling approach, describing the system in terms of a classical-quantum trajectory. We derive the general form of the dynamics under the assumptions that the classical trajectories are continuous and the evolution is autonomous, and the requirement that the dynamics is linear and completely positive in the combined classical-quantum state. This requirement is necessary in order to consistently describe probabilities, and forces the dynamics to be stochastic when the back-reaction is non-zero. The resulting equations of motion are natural generalisations of the standard semi-classical equations of motion, but since the resulting dynamics is linear in the combined classical-quantum state, it does not lead to the pathologies which usually follow from evolution laws based on expectation values. In particular, the evolution laws we present account for correlations between the classical and quantum system, which resolves issues associated with other semi-classical approaches. In addition, despite a breakdown of predictability in the classical degrees of freedom, the quantum state evolves deterministically conditioned on the classical trajectory, provided a trade-off between decoherence and diffusion is saturated. As a result, the quantum state remains pure when conditioned on the classical trajectory. To illustrate these points, we numerically simulate a number of semi-classical toy models, including one of vacuum fluctuations as a source driving the expansion of the universe. Finally, we discuss the application of these results to semi-classical gravity, and the black-hole information problem.

Essays on financial analysts
Creators: name: Peng, Xuan
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2019

description: This dissertation consists of two essays that focus on financial analysts, who are important intermediaries between firms and investors. They process public information and discover private information to find investing insight. This dissertation explores several factors that affect analysts’ performance.The first essay examines the effect of stopping management earnings guidance on the value of financial analysts’ research. This study offers evidence that the value of analysts’ recommendation and forecast revisions increases after guidance cessation. Moreover, this value increase is more pronounced for firms with R&D investments, multiple business segments, or higher institutional ownership, and when it is GAAP guidance or earnings-component guidance that is discontinued. Additional exploration of the value increase suggests that analysts work harder to produce more informative research after a guidance stoppage.The second essay uses the setting of analysts’ coverage initiation to analyze how industry knowledge affects analysts’ performance. It finds that analysts having industry research experience have better forecasting accuracy, and their forecasts tend to be timelier and bolder than forecasts issued by analysts without industry experience. Furthermore, the short-term stock price impact and long-term performance are higher for industry-experienced analysts’ initial recommendations. These findings indicate that analysts’ industry research experience improves their research. In additional analyses, this study explores several factors that may explain why brokerage firms assign analysts to cover firms in their unfamiliar industries, and discusses a consensus forecast of industry experts, which is shown to be more accurate than the consensus of all analysts' forecasts.

description: Pseudorthocladius
- Two specimens of an apparently undescribed species were collected. Until this collection, Pseudorthocladius was not recorded from the Neotropical Region. The Zurquí species appears similar to P. clavatosus Saether & Sublette, but has a smaller inferior volsella. Pseudorthocladius clavatosus was described from two males and a female from South Carolina, U.S.A. (Saether & Sublette 1983); comparison with type material will be necessary to determine if the Zurquí specimens represent a new species.

Revolutionary education: Cuban Americans' perceptions of literacy education
Creators: name: See, Heather
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2019

description: This dissertation investigated the effectiveness of literacy education in the post-revolution Cuban Education System, and in particular, how Cuba has maintained exceptional literacy rates since 1961. These results are surprising because for many years Cuba had maintained literacy rates despite the obstacle of abject poverty. Previous research has shown that low levels of literacy are correlated with low socioeconomic status (Berliner, 2013; Fernald, Marchman, & Weisleder, 2013; Green, 1997; Lareau, 2003; and Ripley, 2013). Cuba’s literacy rates from 1961 to present have surpassed those of the world’s most powerful countries, including the United States. This dissertation was motivated by three goals: (1) to understand the role of each player in the multi-level Cuban education system which oversees successful literacy; (2) to understand the goals and functions of Cuban literacy education; and (3) to understand what (if any) best practices can be applied to the United States educational system. This results of this study showed that although Cuba did maintain a successful program for many years after the Cuban Revolution, the participants of this study detailed an education system that was crumbling as they were students and have since worsened.

description: We present an algorithm which uses Fujiwara's inequality to bound algebraic functions over ellipses of a certain type, allowing us to concretely implement a rigorous Gauss-Legendre integration method for algebraic functions over a line segment. We consider path splitting strategies to improve convergence of the method and show that these yield significant practical and asymptotic benefits. We implemented these methods to compute period matrices of algebraic Riemann surfaces and these are available in SageMath.
