Consumption (Economics)

description: Digital advertising has seen dramatic growth over the last decade. Total digital ad spending in the US has increased 6 times between 2010 and 2020, from $26 billion to $152 billion(eMarketer). This impressive development has in turn sparked a huge stream of literature studying all the different aspects of advertising in the digital media. My dissertation contributes to this literature via two essays. In the first essay, I consider a very important topic of ad blocking, that in the recent years has become a significant threat to advertising supported content. With a specific focus on consumer and total welfare, I show the detrimental role of the adblockers’ current revenue model in decreasing content quality, consumer surplus and total welfare. In the second essay, I study demand learning in digital advertising markets, where firms learn over time how their advertising campaigns impact consumer demand by using their advertising campaign outcomes in earlier periods. By developing an analytic model, I demonstrate in several scenarios, such as monopoly and competition, that learning has an ambiguous effect on the key market parameters and, in particular, on the equilibrium advertising and quantities.

Buenoa scimitra

description: Buenoa scimitra (Bare, 1925)
 Buenoa scimitra is widespread across North America and the Antilles, where it has been recorded in at least 15 different islands (Truxal 1953; Nieser 1967, 1969c; Naranjo et al. 2010; Lanigan and Hyslop 2011). Nieser (1969c) reported it from St. Thomas and St. Croix. We collected this species from the water hazards at the Herman E. Moore Golf Course on the University of the Virgin Islands campus.

description: This thesis makes contributions to provide the microeconomic evidence on the effects of electricity provision and on the feasibility of electricity provision via renewable energy in developing countries. Three selected topics are presented.
      First, we discuss how the impact of national electricity grid provision affects household welfare and individual labor activities in Vietnam. To overcome the endogeneity problem of infrastructure provision, the slope of the terrain is used as the instrumental variable. We present both first-difference regression and pooled regression results using household survey data and geographic datasets. The effect of electrification on female labor supply is negative, contrary to the evidence suggested in the previous literature.
      Second, we measure willingness to pay for solar lanterns among the poor rural households in India using the Becker-DeGrook-Marschak method. We conduct field surveys to evaluate the effectiveness of providing a trial period and postponed payment scheme to promote sales. Results show that willingness to pay for the solar product among the consumers is low.
      Lastly, we report patterns of awareness and interest in solar home systems (SHS) among the poor rural households in India. Results show that willingness to pay for SHS is low, even if the national subsidy is taken into account. Moreover, households that have experience using grid electricity have greater willingness to pay for SHS.

description: The 11 September 2001 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Centre can be justifiably viewed as a turning point in relations between the Islamic world and the West, foregrounding a dominant pejorative representation of Muslims and Islam that continues unabated. The aim of this thesis is to explore media representations of Howard Government discourse about Muslims in Australia from 2001 to 2007. The research examined three prominent and highly popularised cases relating to Islam and Muslims, namely comments made in 2006 by the ex-Grand Mufti of Australian Muslims, Sheik Hilali; the arrest and detention in 2007 of Doctor Mohamed Haneef; and the discourse surrounding the traditional female Muslim garment known as the hijab. This thesis examines the language used by the government and by News Limited print media when referring to Muslims and Islam from 2001 to 2007, to ascertain whether there was a marked increase in the use of terms that could be classified as being negative or perpetuating stereotypes. I used a combined qualitative/quantitative methodology to examine both the collated newspaper articles and political documents.
Massive black hole remnants of the first stars in galactic haloes

description: We investigate the possibility that present-day galactic haloes contain a population of massive black holes (MBHs) that form by hierarchical merging of the black hole remnants of the first stars. Some of the MBHs may be large enough or close enough to the centre of the galactic host that they merge within a Hubble time. We estimate to what extent this process could contribute to the mass of the super-massive black holes (SMBHs) observed in galactic centres today. Many MBHs will not reach the centre of the main halo, however, but continue to orbit within satellite subhaloes. Using a semi-analytical approach that explicitly accounts for dynamical friction, tidal disruption and encounters with the galactic disk, we follow the dynamics of the satellites and their MBHs and determine the abundance and distribution of MBHs in present-day haloes of various masses. Considering two different accretion scenarios we also compute the bolometric luminosity function for the MBHs.

description: The escalation of urban air pollution necessitates innovative solutions for real-time air quality monitoring and prediction. This paper introduces a novel TinyML-based system designed to predict ozone concentration in real-time. The system employs an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense microcontroller equipped with an MQ7 sensor for carbon monoxide (CO) detection and built-in sensors for temperature and pressure measurements. The data, sourced from a Kaggle dataset on air quality parameters from India, underwent thorough cleaning and preprocessing. Model training and evaluation were performed using Edge Impulse, considering various combinations of input parameters (CO, temperature, and pressure). The optimal model, incorporating all three variables, achieved a mean squared error (MSE) of 0.03 and an R-squared value of 0.95, indicating high predictive accuracy. The regression model was deployed on the microcontroller via the Arduino IDE, showcasing robust real-time performance. Sensitivity analysis identified CO levels as the most critical predictor of ozone concentration, followed by pressure and temperature. The system's low-cost and low-power design makes it suitable for widespread implementation, particularly in resource-constrained settings. This TinyML approach provides precise real-time predictions of ozone levels, enabling prompt responses to pollution events and enhancing public health protection.

description: Multi-variate Time Series (MTS) forecasting has made large strides (with very negligible errors) through recent advancements in neural networks, e.g., Transformers. However, in critical situations like predicting gaming overindulgence that affects one's mental well-being; an accurate forecast without a contributing evidence (explanation) is irrelevant. Hence, it becomes important that the forecasts are Interpretable - intermediate representation of the forecasted trajectory is comprehensible; as well as Explainable - attentive input features and events are accessible for a personalized and timely intervention of players at risk. While the contributing state of the art research on interpretability primarily focuses on temporally-smooth single-process driven time series data, our online multi-player gameplay data demonstrates intractable temporal randomness due to intrinsic orthogonality between player's game outcome and their intent to engage further. We introduce a novel deep Actionable Forecasting Network (AFN), which addresses the inter-dependent challenges associated with three exclusive objectives - 1) forecasting accuracy; 2) smooth comprehensible trajectory and 3) explanations via multi-dimensional input features while tackling the challenges introduced by our non-smooth temporal data, together in one single solution. AFN establishes a \it{new benchmark} via: (i) achieving 25% improvement on the MSE of the forecasts on player data in comparison to the SOM-VAE based SOTA networks; (ii) attributing unfavourable progression of a player's time series to a specific future time step(s), with the premise of eliminating near-future overindulgent player volume by over 18% with player specific actionable inputs feature(s) and (iii) proactively detecting over 23% (100% jump from SOTA) of the to-be overindulgent, players on an average, 4 weeks in advance.

description: A general technique is developed for calculating functional determinants of second-order differential operators with Dirichlet, periodic, and antiperiodic boundary conditions. As an example, we give simple formulas for a harmonic oscillator with an arbitrary time-dependent frequency. Here our result is a generalization of Gel'fand-Yaglom's famous formula which was restricted to Dirichlet boundary conditions. Apart from the generalization, our derivation is more transparent than theirs, the determinants requiring only knowledge of the classical trajectories. Special properties of operators with a zero mode are exhibited. Our technique does not require the calculation of the spectrum and is as simple as Wronski's method for Green functions.

description: Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated advanced capabilities in both text generation and comprehension, and their application to data archives might facilitate the privatization of sensitive information about the data subjects. In fact, the information contained in data often includes sensitive and personally identifiable details. This data, if not safeguarded, may bring privacy risks in terms of both disclosure and identification. Furthermore, the application of anonymisation techniques, such as k-anonymity, can lead to a significant reduction in the amount of data within data sources, which may reduce the efficacy of predictive processes. In our study, we investigate the capabilities offered by LLMs to enrich anonymized data sources without affecting their anonymity. To this end, we designed new ad-hoc prompt template engineering strategies to perform anonymized Data Augmentation and assess the effectiveness of LLM-based approaches in providing anonymized data. To validate the anonymization guarantees provided by LLMs, we exploited the pyCanon library, designed to assess the values of the parameters associated with the most common privacy-preserving techniques via anonymization. Our experiments conducted on real-world datasets demonstrate that LLMs yield promising results for this goal.

description: The force-balance equation of time-dependent density-functional theory presents a promising route towards obtaining approximate functionals, however, so far, no practical correlation functionals have been derived this way. In this work, starting from a correlated wavefunction proposed originally by Colle and Salvetti [Theoret. Chim. Acta 37, 329 (1975)], we derive an analytical correlation-energy functional for the ground state based on the force-balance equation. The new functional is compared to the local-density correlation of the homogeneous electron gas and we find an increased performance for atomic systems, while it performs slightly worse on solids. From this point onward, the new force-based correlation functional can be systematically improved.

description: We present observations of the radio emission from the unusual SN 1988Z made with the VLA from 385 to 4,438 days after explosion. SN 1988Z is the most distant radio supernova ever detected. The radio light curves are well-described by a model involving the blastwave interacting with a high-density circumstellar cocoon, which consists almost entirely of clumps or filaments. However, at age ~ 1750 days the SN declines much more rapidly than expected, without a change in absorption parameters. This is due to a change in the number density of circum- stellar clumps without a change in the average properties of each clump. This also represents a change in the presupernova stellar wind properties ~ 10,000 yr before explosion. A massive wind (Mdot >~ 10^{-4} Msun/yr) and very high ZAMS mass, ~ 20--30 Msun, is implied for the SN progenitor, similar to what is likely the case for SNe 1986J and 1998bw.

description: The article analyzes the phenomenon of ownership in its legal, economic, political and philosophical perspectives. Ownership is considered as an opportunity and as a guarantee of sustainable development. Comparative context is used to identify the specificity of the bourgeois model of owners’ power (social state) and the domestic concept of power-ownership (including socialist state). The author draws conclusions about ways to overcome the competition between the state and the market for the human resource and proposes to explore the ideological provision of power-ownership in order to appreciate its progressive potential and predilection in relation to the liberal model of social development

description: A method is presented for making finite Fourier mode truncations of the Rayleigh--Benard convection system that preserve invariants of the full partial differential equations in the dissipationless limit. These truncations are shown to have no unbounded solutions and provide a description of the thermal flux that has the correct limiting behavior in a steady-state. A particular low-order truncation (containing 7 modes) is selected and compared with the 6 mode truncation of Howard and Krishnamurti (1986), which does not conserve the total energy in the dissipationless limit. A numerical example is presented to compare the two truncations and study the effect of shear flow on thermal transport.

description: We improve the flexibility in designing access structures of quantum stabilizer-based secret sharing schemes for classical secrets, by introducing message randomization in their encoding procedures. We generalize the Gilbert-Varshamov bound for deterministic encoding to randomized encoding of classical secrets. We also provide an explicit example of a ramp secret sharing scheme with which multiple symbols in its classical secret are revealed to an intermediate set, and justify the necessity of incorporating strong security criterion of conventional secret sharing. Finally, we propose an explicit construction of strongly secure ramp secret sharing scheme by quantum stabilizers, which can support twice as large classical secrets as the McEliece-Sarwate strongly secure ramp secret sharing scheme of the same share size and the access structure.

title: The Effects of Sitting and Standing Hygiene on Posture in Dental Hygiene Students
Creators: name: Kace, Taylor Shay
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: Problem: The purpose of this pilot study was to assess biomechanical and postural impacts of sitting and standing independently during dental hygiene practice. Methods: A convenience sample of thirty-four second-year dental hygiene students with no history of musculoskeletal disorders were enrolled in this study. Participants were randomly assigned to instrument one quadrant of the mouth on buccal or lingual surfaces while seated or standing during two independent research sessions. Two images per session, for a total of four images per participant, were taken to assess biomechanical demands of each posture using the Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA) tool. The images were independently scored by four calibrated researchers and then a mean score was utilized for data analyses. An end-user survey was also completed by participants at both sessions to gather participant perceptions of posture and pain. Results: Thirty-four female second year dental hygiene students completed the study and had useable images for data analyses. Results revealed statistically significant differences in mean RULA scores indicating better posture while seated (M = 3.91, SD = 0.77) when compared to standing (M = 4.50, SD = 1.00) (p=0.001). No participants had acceptable postures for either sitting or standing, as indicated by scores on the RULA. Overall, 79% of participants perceived their posture to be neutral, somewhat good, or very good when seated and 71% of participants perceived their posture to be neutral, somewhat poor, or very poor when standing. Conclusion: The results support the need for additional ergonomic training and education in the dental hygiene curriculum and future research on biomechanical and postural loads of each posture. A larger, more diverse sample of clinically practicing dental hygienists could provide more insight into the ergonomic benefits of sitting and standing postures and the associated musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) risks throughout the workday.

description: In order to study systematically the soft X-ray emission of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs) at medium to high redshifts, we have analyzed ROSAT PSPC and HRI data of QSOs at 0.26 3.0), one of which is a narrow-line QSO - a high luminosity version of narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies. The average photon index () is 2.40+/-0.09 (with a dispersion of 0.57) in the 0.1-2 keV band. The average QSO spectra in four redshift bins flatten from an average photon index of ~ 2.53 at 0.25 < z < 1 to ~ 2 at 2 < z < 3.4. The flattening of the average photon index can be understood in terms of the redshift effect of the mean intrinsic QSO spectrum consisting of two components - a soft X-ray excess and a power-law component. We have also studied optical spectra of 12 of the 22 QSOs.

description: 13C NMR spectroscopic analysis was carried out to clarify the formed hydrate structure in specific conditions on hydrate phase diagram of ternary methane, neohexane, and water system. The obtained NMR spectra at three different conditions suggested that both structure I and H were formed simultaneously and coexisted at 273.6 K and 50 bar. But, for both conditions of 273.6 K, 25 bar and 283.1 K, 50 bar the formed hydrate was identified as structure H only. These results showed that the pure CH4 hydrate of structure I was formed and coexisted with mixed CH4+neohexane hydrate of structure H in low temperature and high pressure region after passing through the phase boundary of pure CH4 hydrate. We have examined the structure coexistence at 273.6 K and 50 bar with other structure H formers of isopentane, methylcyclopentane, and methylcyclohexane. In case of isopentane, the obtained NMR spectrum showed that structure I and H coexisted and the amount of methane molecules in structure I was two times as many as in cages of structure H. However, there were no resonance lines of structure I when methylcyclohexane formed structure H with methane molecules.

description: For a given configuration space $M$ and Lie algebra $g$ whose action is defined on $M$, the space $V_{0.0}$ of weakly $g$-invariant Lagrangians (i.e. Lagrangians whose motion equations left hand sides are $g$-invariant) is studied. The problem is reformulated in the terms of the double complex of Lie algebra cochains with values in the complex of Lagrangians. Calculating the cohomology of this complex using the method of spectral sequences, we come to the hierarchy in the space $V_{0.0}$: The double filtration $V_{s.r}$ ($s=0,1,2,3,4;r=0,1$) and the homomorphisms on every space $V_{s.r}$ are constructed. These homomorphisms take values in cohomologies of the Lie algebra $g$ and configuration space $M$. On one hand every space $V_{s.r}$ is the kernel of the corresponding homomorphism, on the other hand this space is defined by its physical properties.

description: We propose the concept of a device based on a square-shaped sample of a two-dimensional second-order topological helical superconductor which hosts two zero-dimensional Majorana quasiparticles at the corners. The two zero-energy modes rely on particle-hole symmetry (PHS) and their spacial position can be shifted by rotating an in-plane magnetic field and tuning proximity-induced spin-singlet pairing. We consider an adiabatic cycle performed on the degenerate ground-state manifold and show that it realizes the braiding of the two modes whereby they accumulate a non-trivial statistical phase $π$ within one cycle. Alongside with the PHS-ensured operator algebra, the fractional statistics confirms the Majorana nature of the zero-energy excitations. A schematic design for a possible experimental implementation of such a device is presented, which could be a step towards realizing non-Abelian braiding.
description: A different physical system is considered in this version (topological superconductor), however, the topological and symmetry features are closely related to those of the two-layer topological insulator of version 2 (arXiv:1904.07822v2). A more accurate distinction is made between the fractional statistics of the Majorana corner states and their potential non-Abelian properties

description: Cryptochromes are a class of flavoprotein blue-light signaling receptors found in plants, animals, and humans that control plant development and the entrainment of circadian rhythms. In plant cryptochromes, light activation is proposed to result from photoreduction of a protein-bound flavin chromophore through intramolecular electron transfer. However, although similar in structure to plant cryptochromes, the light-response mechanism of animal cryptochromes remains entirely unknown. To complicate matters further, there is currently a debate on whether mammalian cryptochromes respond to light at all or are instead activated by non–light-dependent mechanisms. To resolve these questions, we have expressed both human and Drosophila cryptochrome proteins to high levels in living Sf21 insect cells using a baculovirus- derived expression system. Intact cells are irradiated with blue light, and the resulting cryptochrome photoconversion is monitored by fluorescence and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopic techniques. We demonstrate that light induces a change in the redox state of flavin bound to the receptor in both human and Drosophila cryptochromes. Photoreduction from oxidized flavin and subsequent accumulation of a semiquinone intermediate signaling state occurs by a conserved mechanism that has been previously identified for plant cryptochromes. These results provide the first evidence of how animal-type cryptochromes are activated by light in living cells. Furthermore, human cryptochrome is also shown to undergo this light response. Therefore, human cryptochromes in exposed peripheral and/or visual tissues may have novel light-sensing roles that remain to be elucidated.

description: Recently it was observed by one of the authors that supersymmetric quantum mechanics (SUSYQM) admits a formulation in terms of only one bosonic degree of freedom. Such a construction, called the minimally bosonized SUSYQM, appeared in the context of integrable systems and dynamical symmetries. We show that the minimally bosonized SUSYQM can be obtained from Witten's SUSYQM by applying to it a nonlocal unitary transformation with a subsequent reduction to one of the eigenspaces of the total reflection operator. The transformation depends on the parity operator, and the deformed Heisenberg algebra with reflection, intimately related to parabosons and parafermions, emerges here in a natural way. It is shown that the minimally bosonized SUSYQM can also be understood as supersymmetric two-fermion system. With this interpretation, the bosonization construction is generalized to the case of N=1 supersymmetry in 2 dimensions. The same special unitary transformation diagonalises the Hamiltonian operator of the 2D massive free Dirac theory. The resulting Hamiltonian is not a square root like in the Foldy-Wouthuysen case, but is linear in spatial derivative. Subsequent reduction to `up' or `down' field component gives rise to a linear differential equation with reflection whose `square' is the massive Klein-Gordon equation. In the massless limit this becomes the self-dual Weyl equation. The linear differential equation with reflection admits generalizations to higher dimensions and can be consistently coupled to gauge fields. The bosonized SUSYQM can also be generated applying the nonlocal unitary transformation to the Dirac field in the background of a nonlinear scalar field in a kink configuration.

description: Non-verbal communicators, particularly those with profound intellectual disabilities, possess unique perspectives and interactions with their environment. Their diverse cognition and communication styles present a challenge to traditional spatial design processes, which often fail to accommodate their unconventional forms of expression and participation.
This PhD has contributed to the field of inclusive design through the development of the Me in Mind design principles. The principles offer tools and techniques for designers, supporting them in designing with the non-verbal communicator. Designers are encouraged to explore the individual's holistic needs, considering their needs, interests, abilities and preferences, ensuring design processes can employ an empathetic approach that creates meaningful and genuine participation. The principles support designers to modify their design engagements to accommodate the unique contribution of the non-verbal individual, increasing the individual’s autonomy and voice.

description: Aromanians are a branch of the Romanian people. Several theories have been issued about their origin. Starting from historical evidence, researchers claim that Romanianism emerged throughout the Balkan Peninsula and spread from the Danube to mainland Greece, the Aegean Sea, the Adriatic Sea and Istria. These Romanians were the result and, at the same time, the continuators of a vast evolutionary process of Oriental Romanity. (ZBUCHEA, 1999, 14) Aromanian communities have a pronounced patriarchal character, being considered by those in their neighborhood impenetrable and conservative. For centuries, the only form of social organization was the traditional family but also the extended family, that is, the entire community. Having as main occupation the shepherding, the isolated and relatively closed groups, such as the Aromanian shepherd community, have perpetuated ancient practices in life-cycle habits. Aromanians continue to practice with great force the customs and the songs they have inherited and created over time. (OPREA, 2002, 604) The musical repertoire of the Cipani includes poetic-musical creations of archaic character, corresponding to the ritual sequences of the baptismal and funeral ceremonies, songs proper, lullabies, doine[1], ballads and dance music. The proposed scientific approach will reveal the structural relationship established between verse and melody in the songs proper I have collected from the Cipan Aromanians in Dobruja, creations that are part of the original cultural patrimony of this ethnic group.

description: Let $X\subset Y$ be smooth, projective manifolds. Assume that $X$ is the zero locus of a generic section of a direct sum $V+$ of positive line bundles on $\PP^n$. Furthermore assume that the normal bundle $N_{X/Y}$ is a direct sum $V-$ of negative line bundles. We show that a $V:=V+\oplus V-$-twisted Gromov-Witten theory of $\PP^n$ restricts to the Gromov-Witten theory of $X$ inherited form $Y$. The later one can be computed via a Mirror Theorem which we prove in this paper.

description: The article is devoted to analyzing the normative and victimological aspects of sexual crimes qualification. According to the author, the normative regulation of responsibility for sexual crimes shouldn’t be excessively subdivided into parts and paragraphs; the basic task of law in this sphere is the unconditional condemnation of violence. As positive examples (in the comparative aspect) the paper analyzes the pre-revolutionary and Soviet criminal law. Identifying technical defects in the legislation, the author proposes to shift the focus from excessive lawmaking to the victimological prevention of sexual criminality
