Comparative politics

description: New and old democracies alike strive to increase the representation of women and ethnic minorities to satisfy ideals about justice or to soothe long held social tensions. Debates about the opportunities and barriers to the election of women and ethnic minorities have produced an extensive literature on the effects of electoral systems and electoral rules on the representation of these groups. Recent work on the intersection of gender and ethnicity has examined the unique situation of minority women. But few studies have examined the relative strength of ethnicity compared to gender as a political cue. And we know very little about the effects that electoral rules that benefit one group have on the potential election of the other. This study examines the intersection of ethnicity and gender within the electoral arena. I examine the effects that electoral rules and the mobilizing strategies of different social categories have on the election of women and ethnic minorities. The project addresses three distinct questions. The first question explores the propensity of women and ethnic minorities to act as voting blocs. Using survey data, I find that ethnic minorities are significantly more likely than women to behave as a voting bloc. The second question explores the relationship between ethnic seats (seats designed to specifically benefit ethnic minorities) and the election of women. Through a cross-national statistical analysis of ethnic seats, I find that minority women share many of the same characteristics as minority men, but minority women gain election primarily through ethnic seats, even more so than minority men. The third question considers the relationship between ethnic parties and the election of women. Using cross-national statistical analysis and with-in case comparisons, I find that electoral incentives to elect women are not as strong for ethnic parties as non-ethnic parties, as women who vote for ethnic parties are just as likely to vote for ethnic parties that elect women as ethnic parties that do not elect women

description: We propose an explainable reinforcement learning (XRL) framework that analyzes an agent's history of interaction with the environment to extract interestingness elements that help explain its behavior. The framework relies on data readily available from standard RL algorithms, augmented with data that can easily be collected by the agent while learning. We describe how to create visual summaries of an agent's behavior in the form of short video-clips highlighting key interaction moments, based on the proposed elements. We also report on a user study where we evaluated the ability of humans to correctly perceive the aptitude of agents with different characteristics, including their capabilities and limitations, given visual summaries automatically generated by our framework. The results show that the diversity of aspects captured by the different interestingness elements is crucial to help humans correctly understand an agent's strengths and limitations in performing a task, and determine when it might need adjustments to improve its performance.

Our results confirm the possibility of a future collapsing universe (for a given region of the parameter space), which is necessary for a consistent formulation of string theory and quantum field theory. We have also reproduced the measurements of modulus distance from supernovae with good accuracy.

Corrosive effects

description: Corrosive properties of four diesel fuels were studied qualitatively and quantitatively and compared with those of #2 diesel. Three of the fuels were emulsified fuels and one was an ultra low sulfur diesel. Planned interval tests were used to study real-time corrosion activity. Visual observation, optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used for analysis of the metal after exposure to the fuels. Electrochemical tests were attempted in order to obtain a corrosion rate and additional corrosion information. Certain emulsified diesel fuels are reported to reduce polluting emissions significantly. Emissions from ultra low sulfur diesel are also reported to be lower than those from #2 diesel. With growing environmental concern and stricter pollution standards, these fuels are gaining popularity because these alternative fuels present a practical solution. Four fuels manufactured by three different companies were tested. Due to confidentiality concerns, chemical formulae of these fuels will not be discussed. These fuels are mainly aimed at heavy vehicles where the choice of fuel-tank material is low-carbon steel. 1018 steel was chosen to represent the automobile fuel-tank material. Recommendations for their use will be made, based on the qualitative results of this study

description: Given the increasing number of experimental data, together with the precise measurement of the properties of the Higgs boson at the LHC, the parameter space of supersymmetric models starts to be constrained. We carry out a detailed analysis of this issue in the framework of the $μν$SSM. In this model, three families of right-handed neutrino superfields are present in order to solve the $μ$ problem and simultaneously reproduce neutrino physics. The new couplings and sneutrino vacuum expectation values in the $μν$SSM induce new mixing of states, and, in particular, the three right sneutrinos can be substantially mixed with the neutral Higgses. After diagonalization, the masses of the corresponding three singlet-like eigenstates can be smaller or larger than the mass of the Higgs, or even degenerated with it. We analyze whether these situations are still compatible with the experimental results. To address it we scan the parameter space of the Higgs sector of the model. In particular, we sample the $μν$SSM using a powerful likelihood data-driven method, paying special attention to satisfy the constraints coming from Higgs sector measurements/limits (using HiggsBounds and HiggsSignals), as well as a class of flavor observables such as $B$ and $μ$ decays, while muon $g-2$ is briefly discussed. We find that large regions of the parameter space of the $μν$SSM are viable, containing an interesting phenomenology that could be probed at the LHC.

description: We report analytical results for the development of the viscous fingering instability in a cylindrical Hele-Shaw cell of radius a and thickness b. We derive a generalized version of Darcy's law in such cylindrical background, and find it recovers the usual Darcy's law for flow in flat, rectangular cells, with corrections of higher order in b/a. We focus our interest on the influence of cell's radius of curvature on the instability characteristics. Linear and slightly nonlinear flow regimes are studied through a mode-coupling analysis. Our analytical results reveal that linear growth rates and finger competition are inhibited for increasingly larger radius of curvature. The absence of tip-splitting events in cylindrical cells is also discussed.

description: Computer simulation studies of aqueous solutions of argon are performed from ambient to supercritical conditions by using a recent polarizable potential model (BSV) and the non polarizable simple point charge extended (SPC/E) model. At T=673 K we compare the water-solute pair correlation functions of the argon-water mixture with recent experimental results obtained from neutron scattering experiments. The comparison shows that the introduction of the polarizable effects decreases the solute-water repulsion and improves the agreement with the experiment at supercritical conditions. In particular we find that the water-solute structure predicted by the polarizable model is in good agreement with the experiment.

description: How frequent are brown dwarf binaries? Do brown dwarfs have planets? Are current theoretical pre-main-sequence evolutionary tracks valid down to the substellar regime? - Any detection of a companion to a brown dwarf takes us one step forward towards answering these basic questions of star formation. We report here on a search for spectroscopic and visual companions to young brown dwarfs in the Cha I star forming cloud. Based on spectra taken with UVES at the VLT, we found significant radial velocity (RV) variations for five bona-fide and candidate brown dwarfs in Cha I. They can be caused by either a (substellar or planetary) companion or stellar activity. A companion causing the detected RV variations would have about a few Jupiter masses. We are planning further UVES observations in order to explore the nature of the detected RV variations. We also found that the RV dispersion is only ~ 2km/s indicating that there is probably no run-away brown dwarf among them. Additionally a search for companions by direct imaging with the HST and SOFI (NTT) has yielded to the detection of a few companion candidates in larger orbits.

description: recreation economics treats spatial problems of varying dimensionality. Travel cost models, once fashionable but no longer so, take recreation sites as point destinations, ideally, located rationally in relation to population. One-dimensional problems, concerning extent of trails, have received little attention. As a problem of land-use competition, planar extent of site is the most important: unless congestion is negative externality, recreational needs can be met with little allocation of land. Evidence on the existence of congestion problems is mixed, though claims that there is no problem are dismissed by deeper investigation. Tree recerationists within a space is arguably best achieved by allowing free choice of movement: there is no compelling evidence that management reduces negative externalities of congestion. Charging for access may be both more efficient than exclusion, and no less equitable.
Re-mapping the Arctic: contemporary approaches to practising cartography across diverse knowledge traditions
Creators: name: Cohen, Oliver
Publisher: name: Apollo - University of Cambridge Repository
Year: 2015

description: Note: This abstract is a bibliographic resource, and is not presented for examination. This thesis examines historical and contemporary debates surrounding the way in which knowledge traditions interact in the Arctic. This is done through examining the theoretical and practical history of cartography, both as a discipline, and as applied to the Arctic. In doing so, I make the argument for an inextricable link between cartography and knowledge production across supposedly different ‘knowledge traditions’, through the privileging of performativity as the primary way of making knowledge, and an understanding of human cognition as inherently spatial and narratological. Based on these understandings, I examine debates within geography and wider social science that might assist the practising of cartography under this philosophy – the possibilities for ‘working with multiple ontologies’. For example I explore the opportunity for working with complex adaptive systems, and suggest that a contemporary understanding of how cyberspace is produced in the Arctic fits in with these philosophies. I also examine those debates that might stand in the way of practice that acknowledges these philosophies of complexity – for example debates about the nature of digital materiality, and of the epistemological / ontological divide. These theories and debates are anchored in the Arctic through the use of historical and contemporary examples concerned with the mapping of space and knowledge primarily in the North American Arctic. Ultimately debating a future for practising cartography in the Arctic is situated within the confines of post-colonial critique, so I examine how we define “counter-mapping”, and where the philosophies outlined above fit into this politically strong tradition. In conclusion I suggest that whilst contemporary theory has much to offer an increasingly digital indigenous Arctic, there remains a partial disconnect between theory and practice that can be addressed through reading this debate.
Sea ice and the Arctic Atmosphere: Trends, Relations and Teleconnections.

Publisher: name: Apollo - University of Cambridge Repository

description: This study statistically analyses Arctic sea ice, sea level pressure (SLP) and large scale circulation systems throughout the period 1983-2013. The Arctic is divided into nine regions, and the year is split into four seasons, so that each season in each region can be separately analysed for trends and correlations. Across the whole Arctic a negative trend in sea ice of 3.9% per decade is found, but a positive trend in SLP. The focus on seasonal trends shows that the September ice decrease is the greatest across the whole Arctic, although this is not the case in every region, and the focus on regional patterns shows that the Bering Sea in fact has an increasing ice extent across the study period. The SLP appears to have a greater impact on sea ice than vice versa, especially in summer, although the autumn sea ice does show some important feedbacks onto the winter SLP pattern. There appear to be negative trends in the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), the Arctic Oscillation (AO) and the El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO), but a positive trend in the Arctic Dipole (AD). The NAO/AO pressure pattern is confirmed to show low pressures within the Arctic Circle and high pressures at lower latitudes when in a positive phase. In general the NAO and AO are considered to be similar and strongly related in their effects on the Arctic SLP and sea ice, however the AO seems to link more strongly with SLP whilst the NAO has more of an effect on sea ice. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) confirms this, showing that the first principal component (PC) of SLP has a clear AO-type pattern. The effect of a positive NAO/AO pattern seems to be to increase sea ice across the Arctic, and the NAO also creates a pattern known as the Greenland Sea-ice Dipole (GSD). The AD is defined as the second PC of SLP, and is strongly connected to sea ice throughout the seasons but particularly in summer. In general a strongly positive AD causes ice decreases across the Arctic, which then creates a positive feedback. The ENSO is less well-connected to the Arctic than the NAO/AO and the AD, but nevertheless does show some links. Whilst the other patterns are most influential in summer, the ENSO has greatest impact in winter and spring. A positive ENSO index appears to be linked with lower pressures and ice extents in the Pacific sector, but higher pressures and ice extents on the North American/Atlantic side of the Arctic. The ENSO also has a negative correlation with the AD in several seasons.

description: The addition of an aqueous solution of palladium chloride to an aqueous acetonitrile solution of 4-acetylpyridine (4-Acpy) and KSCN or NaN3 produces new complexes, [Pd(SCN)2(4-Acpy)2] (1) and [Pd(N3)2(4-Acpy)2] (2), at ambient conditions. Complexes 1 and 2 were characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, and UV-Visible spectra. The structures of 1 and 2 were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The coordination geometry around the palladium center is distorted square planar in 1 and 2 as the palladium is coordinated with two 4-acetylpyridine and two thiocyanates in 1 or two azide groups in 2. The discrete units of 1 and 2 extend along the a-axis creating a 1 D-chain via non-covalent hydrogen bonds. The extensive non-covalent hydrogen bonds extend the structure of 1 and 2 to 3D-networks. Using MTT assay, the cytotoxic activities of 1 and 2 were screened against two cancer cell lines, HePG-2 (liver cancer) and MCF-7 (breast cancer). The MTT assay revealed that the cytotoxic activity of 1 is stronger than 2 for HePG-2 and MCF-7. Antioxidant and anti‐hemolytic activities of 1 and 2 were examined. Furthermore, the luminescence spectra in the solid state of 1 and 2 are discussed.

description: This thesis is presented in two parts: a work of fiction in the form of three interconnected novellas exploring settler colonialism of Native north-east America (New England), with a critical dissertation as supplement. The research encompasses four main areas: archival; contextual; experiential and the primary field of practice research. Of particular importance to the research was field work conducted in the U.S., which included meetings with Wampanoag educators and artists, and interviews and archival research at the Plimoth Patuxet Museum. The research has been informed by the work of several writers, both historical and contemporary. Primary and secondary historical sources include William Bradford’s Of Plymouth Plantation and the ‘captivity’ narrative of Mary Rowlandson. Two contemporary works of fiction are explored and serve as case-studies for the creative work: Annie Proulx’s Barkskins, which includes the themes of story, landscape and legacy from a postcolonial perspective; and an appraisal of the structural form of Michael Cunningham’s The Hours as an interconnected trilogy of narratives. The critical element also examines the process of research toward writing a historical narrative, addressing the challenges which arise from writing the past and, particularly, from including an Indigenous element when writing from a non-Indigenous perspective. As a mode of practice research, the trilogy interrogates a number of ideas, including the transcendent nature of story over time. Using examples of oral tradition and the metanarrative form, it reflects upon the legacy of colonialism upon both the land and the Wampanoag people, and originates a greater exchange between the Indigenous and non-Indigenous.

description: Tropical cyclones (TCs) rank among the most costly natural disasters in the United States, and accurate forecasts of track and intensity are critical for emergency response. Intensity guidance has improved steadily but slowly, as processes which drive intensity change are not fully understood. Because most TCs develop far from land-based observing networks, geostationary satellite imagery is critical to monitor these storms. However, these complex data can be challenging to analyze in real time, and off-the-shelf machine learning algorithms have limited applicability on this front due to their ``black box'' structure. This study presents analytic tools that quantify convective structure patterns in infrared satellite imagery for over-ocean TCs, yielding lower-dimensional but rich representations that support analysis and visualization of how these patterns evolve during rapid intensity change. The proposed ORB feature suite targets the global Organization, Radial structure, and Bulk morphology of TCs. By combining ORB and empirical orthogonal functions, we arrive at an interpretable and rich representation of convective structure patterns that serve as inputs to machine learning methods. This study uses the logistic lasso, a penalized generalized linear model, to relate predictors to rapid intensity change. Using ORB alone, binary classifiers identifying the presence (versus absence) of such intensity change events can achieve accuracy comparable to classifiers using environmental predictors alone, with a combined predictor set improving classification accuracy in some settings. More complex nonlinear machine learning methods did not perform better than the linear logistic lasso model for current data.

description: In Finland the Forest Biodiversity Programme for Southern Finland (METSO) aims to halt the decline in forest habitats and species and establish stable favorable trends in forest biodiversity by 2016. Forest protection in the context of the METSO Programme is based on voluntary actions by landowners, including both permanent and temporary measures. The aim of the study was to examine the timber income loss incurred to a private forest owner if she/he protects a forest site in METSO Programme for 10-year period. We also compared the timber income loss to the compensation that was actually paid for that particular forest site for a 10-year conservation contract. The data of this study was gathered from regional units of the Finnish Forestry Centre. The data included detailed information of the most recent temporary METSO conservation contracts for 10-year period. Total number of conservation contracts analyzed in this study was 183. To calculate the forest owners’ income loss for each forest site we used SuojeluMotti-program. SuojeluMotti-program is based on The Finnish Forest Research Institute’s (Metla’s) Mottiprogram, which is a stand-level analysis tool for forest management. SuojeluMotti-program uses net present value to calculate the economic impacts of different forest management decisions. We found that the compensation paid to the forest owner was in most cases significantly higher than the timber loss incurred during the contract period. The current compensation instrument used for 10 year period conservation contracts is based on the stand’s stumpage value and do not include the expectation value for forthcoming loggings as the SuojeluMotti-programme does. That explains the differences between the actual compensation level and the estimated income loss.

description: The relationship between nuclear temperature and excitation energy of hot nuclei formed by 8 GeV/c negative pion and antiproton beams incident on 197Au has been investigated with the ISiS 4-pidetector array at the BNL AGS accelerator. The double-isotope-ratio technique was used to calculate the temperature of the hot system. The two thermometers used (p/d-3He/4He) and (d/t-3He/4He) are in agreement below E*/A ~ 7 MeV when corrected for secondary decay. Comparison of these caloric curves to those from other experiments shows some differences that may be attributable to instrumentation and analysis procedures. The caloric curves from this experiment are also compared with the predictions from the SMM multifragmentation model.

description: We present the analysis of multi-wavelength XMM-Newton data from the Seyfert galaxy NGC 3783, including UV imaging, X-ray and UV lightcurves, the 0.2-10 keV X-ray continuum, the iron K-alpha emission line, and high-resolution spectroscopy and modelling of the soft X-ray warm absorber. The 0.2-10 keV spectral continuum can be well reproduced by a power-law at higher energies; we detect a prominent Fe K-alpha emission line, with both broad and narrow components, and a weaker emission line at 6.9 keV which is probably a combination of Fe K-beta and Fe XXVI. We interpret the significant deficit of counts in the soft X-ray region as being due to absorption by ionised gas in the line of sight. This is demonstrated by the large number of narrow absorption lines in the RGS spectrum from iron, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon, neon, argon, magnesium, silicon and sulphur. The wide range of iron states present in the spectrum enables us to deduce the ionisation structure of the absorbing medium. We find that our spectrum contains evidence of absorption by at least two phases of gas: a hotter phase containing plasma with a log ionisation parameter xi (where xi is in erg cm/s) of 2.4 and greater, and a cooler phase with log xi centred around 0.3. The gas in both phases is outflowing at speeds of around 800 km/s. The main spectral signature of the cold phase is the Unresolved Transition Array (UTA) of M-shell iron, which is the deepest yet observed; its depth requires either that the abundance of iron, in the cold phase, is several times that of oxygen, with respect to solar abundances, or that the absorption lines associated with this phase are highly saturated. The cold phase is associated with ionisation states that would also absorb in the UV.

description: Estimation of petrophysical and geomechanical properties of complex hydrocarbon reservoirs relies on accurate knowledge of the mineral composition of rocks. Laboratory technics such as X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Quantitative Evaluation of Minerals using Scanning Electron Microscopy (QEMSCAN), and thin-section analysis commonly used for mineral identification and quantification are performed on a limited number of test plugs and investigate only a small volume of each core plug. For continuous well-log-scaled mineral identification, petrophysicists have relied on downhole gamma-ray spectroscopy logging tools. However, the vertical resolution of these well logs is relatively low, and the measurements are spatially averaged across laminated or heterogeneous rocks. Furthermore, standard mineral interpretations, which are obtained from commonly used element vs. mineral concentration empirical correlations, are shown to be inadequate in complex reservoir rocks. To overcome these technical difficulties, I implement a numerical interpretation technique that uses high-resolution borehole images, spectroscopy, and inverted standard nuclear logs that have mitigated shoulder-bed and tool effects, to identify the minerals that compose the rocks and estimate mineral concentrations and petrophysical properties. High-resolution images such as downhole micro-resistivity are used to detect the boundaries of petrophysical layers within the depth interval of interest. Standard logging tool responses are inverted into piecewise constant earth model properties using a Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithm for each layer to correct for tool spatial averaging. I use existing but limited point-by-point surface mineral data from rock-sample XRD and/or QEMSCAN to build a database of mineral priors. Using stochastic inversion methods and the mineral database priors, I solve a nonlinear optimization problem that simultaneously determines mineral concentrations, porosity, and water saturation when fluid-sensitive well logs are available. Results obtained from the latter interpretation workflow are validated using synthetic field cases with core data.
Marine-terminating outlet glacier response to hydrological mechanisms: A comparative study at Store Glestcher and Rink Isbrae, Uummannaq Bay, West Greenland

description: The dynamics of marine-terminating outlet glaciers on the Greenland Ice Sheet are of crucial importance with their principal role in draining the ice sheet. Much work has focused on determining the processes and mechanisms influencing their flow, with most focus on terminus processes, whilst little attention has been paid to the effects of hydrological processes via surface runoff and supraglacial lake drainage. There has been increasing evidence for the influence of enhanced meltwater inputs on impacting short term velocity at marine-terminating outlet glaciers with contrasting responses at individual glaciers. This study uses a remote sensing approach to characterise supraglacial lakes and their volumes at Store Gletscher and Rink Isbrae, two marine-terminating outlet glaciers in West Greenland, to assess the influence of such processes on their flow, providing an effective comparison due to their contrasting geometries, despite similar environmental controls. At Store there is evidence of a strong influence of hydrological mechanisms on its summer velocity variability, supporting observations in previous work with a transition to efficient drainage. However, the opposite is identified at Rink. This difference is suggested to be caused by Rink?s lower capacity for lake formation with a steeper hypsometry and narrower ablation area compared to Store, reflecting the primary controls of surface topography and surface runoff volume on lake formation. These conclusions reveal the possible significant influence of hydrological mechanisms on flow at marine-terminating margins, whilst also indicating a probable range of responses at different glaciers dependent on glacier-specific factors.

description: Companies involved in natural resource extraction, such as forestry, significantly influence the environment they operate in. Therefore, active engagement in corporate social responsibility (CSR) and managing close relationships with key stakeholder groups, i.e., governments (e.g., legal compliance), communities (e.g., work force, raw materials) and environmental NGOs (e.g., risk reduction) has become a necessity to maintain the social license to operate. In this paper we argue that firm proactiveness has positive influence on firm’s corporate social performance. First, it can act as a stance towards CSR, and second, it may be a precondition to gain competitive advantage by investing in CSR. In our analysis we concentrate on forest industry and use international survey data from managers of 60 companies. A positive impact of firm proactiveness on CSR could be found using regression analysis. However, unlike many previous studies confirming a positive effect of company size on corporate responsibility – due to higher media visibility or access to more resources – we found no evidence on the impact of company size. The results also show that employees and managers in a proactive firm more often take initiatives to improve the environmental performance compared to the employees and managers in a less proactive firms.
Do internal software quality tools measure validated metrics?

description: Internal software quality determines the maintainability of the software product and influences the quality in use. There is a plethora of metrics which purport to measure the internal quality of software, and these metrics are offered by static software analysis tools. To date, a number of reports have assessed the validity of these metrics. No data are available, however, on whether metrics offered by the tools are somehow validated in scientific studies. The current study covers this gap by providing data on which tools and how many validated metrics are provided. The results show that a range of metrics that the tools provided do not seem to be validated in the literature and that only a small percentage of metrics are validated in the provided tools.

description: We develop an analytic approximation for the coincidence limit of a massive scalar propagator in an arbitrary spatially flat, homogeneous and isotropic geometry. We employ this to compute the one loop corrections to the inflaton effective potential from a quadratic coupling to a minimally coupled scalar. We also extend the Friedmann equations to cover potentials that depend locally on the Hubble parameter and the first slow roll parameter.
