description: Joint measurements of two-Pauli observables are a powerful tool for both the control and protection of quantum information. By following a simple recipe for measurement choices, single- and two- qubit rotations using two-Pauli parity and single qubit measurements are guaranteed to be unitary whilst requiring only a single ancilla qubit. This language for measurement based quantum computing is shown to be directly applicable to encoded double quantum dot singlet-triplet spin qubits, by measuring spin-parity between dots from neighboring qubits. Along with exchange interaction, a complete, leakage free, measurement based gate set can be shown, up to a known Pauli correction. Both theoretically exact spin-parity measurements and experimentally demonstrated asymmetric spin-parity measurements are shown to be viable for achieving the proposed measurement based scheme, provided some extra leakage mitigating measurement steps. This new method of spin qubit control offers a leakage suppressed, low resource overhead implementation of a measurement-based control that is viable on current spin qubit processor devices.

description: Hydrogen embrittlement (HE) is a broadly recognized phenomenon in metallic materials. If not well understood and managed, HE may lead to catastrophic environmental failures in vessels containing hydrogen, such as pipelines and storage tanks. HE can affect the mechanical properties of materials such as ductility, toughness, and strength, mainly through the interaction between metal defects and hydrogen. Various phenomena such as hydrogen adsorption, hydrogen diffusion, and hydrogen interactions with intrinsic trapping sites like dislocations, voids, grain boundaries, and oxide/matrix interfaces are involved in this process. It is important to understand HE mechanisms to develop effective hydrogen resistant strategies. Tensile, double cantilever beam, bent beam, and fatigue tests are among the most common techniques employed to study HE. This article reviews hydrogen diffusion behavior, mechanisms, and characterization techniques.
Legal Marriage and Political Liberalism

Publisher: name: Georgia State University

description: Can or must political liberals recognize any form of legal marriage' If so, on what grounds and what type(s) of marriage can they recognize' Elizabeth Brake argues that political liberals can and must support the social bases of adult caring relationships through the public recognition and support of minimal marriage. She thinks that political liberals cannot recognize a more robust form of marriage than her minimal marriage. Clare Chambers argues that the state should abolish legal marriage and replace it with the marriage-free state, which endorses piecemeal practice-based personal relationship laws. In this thesis, I will argue that the marriage-free state is superior to minimal marriage even in an ideal society because the marriage-free state can secure the rights and entitlements that are important for minimal marriage and do so in a way that is more inclusive of vulnerable persons.

description: This study examines the preservation and interpretation of historic archaeological and architectural ruins within private developments. Additionally, it presents a criteria- based rating system to evaluate the long-term preservation and economic potential of ruins. The criteria are: 1) visual image and setting; 2) history; 3) purpose; 4) interpretation; and 5) legal protection. This rating system can be used to identify a preserved ruin's values and limitations. Also, the system can be used to evaluate the preservation and economic potential of ruins yet to be preserved. Applying the rating system to either type of ruin may grant those interested in ruin preservation with strategies to energize and strengthen their plans. This study presents an historic overview of ruin preservation beginning with the Sublime and Picturesque movements of the late eighteenth century. It continues with reasons for preserving ruins, targeting on particular audiences such as the public, archaeologists, architects, architectural historians, and artists. The economic benefits and values of ruin preservation discussed include ways that ruin preservation can benefit a locale by providing a sense of history and community pride. Using the criteria-based rating system, this study evaluates eleven preserved ruins for their long-term preservation and economic potential. Besides a basic description of each ruin, the narrative rates each and makes recommendations for improvements to gain additional economic benefits and to ensure long-term preservation. Finally, the principles of ruin preservation and interpretation are applied to a special case study, the Wilson House Ruin, Palmetto Bluff, South Carolina. Preservation and interpretive plans for this ruin are presented, and opportunities for economic gains from the ruin are discussed.
The Puzzle of Faith
Creators: name: Stigall, Jason
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2018

description: This essay introduces 'The Puzzle of Faith,' which highlights an apparent tension between faith and belief. To resolve this tension, I will present a solution to The Puzzle of Faith by identifying the sort of cognitive attitude that is sufficient for faith. I will argue two theses. (1) That the cognitive attitude in religious faith need not be belief in the philosopher's regimented sense, but it can be an attitude which I call creedal acceptance. (2) If there are cases in which faith entails belief, then these 'beliefs' are different from the evidentially vulnerable beliefs talked about in philosophical literature. My second thesis is a linguistic thesis, which seeks to argue that the way the word belief is used in everyday speech does not typically refer to belief in the philosopher's sense, but refers to something closer to what I am calling creedal acceptance.

description: Plazas have played a central role in the daily lives of the Puebloan, Hispano, and the Anglo cultures. This thesis chronicles the changes in use of the plazas from precontact to present day in New Mexico. The challenging and debatable issues associated with preserving these plazas are addressed. Plaza is the Spanish word for an open gathering space surrounded by structures. The multi-functional plaza has served, over the centuries, as a place for cooking, eating, manufacturing, trade, festivals or ceremony. In the American Southwest plaza patterns have been evident prior to Spanish contact, and are still found in the pueblos, Hispano villages, and modem American cities. Their patterns and uses have changed over time, with some plazas fading into obscurity, or returning to the earth. The centuries of change beg the question: should plazas be preserved? What lessons can be learned from the past? Does the preservation of the plaza limit modern uses? Does it disrupt the evolution of contemporary plazas? “Should” and “preserve” are viewed differently by the three cultures. By examining the changes to plaza patterns the development or demise of the plaza is chronicled and the findings placed within the context of the present day. By means of photographs, documentation, site visits and interviews abandoned and present day pueblos, Spanish colonial villages, and American squares in New Mexico are examined. The answer is not the same for all three; indeed, within each there are differing values to be considered.
Language, Mechanical Memory, and the Speculative Sentence in Hegel
Creators: name: Nennig, Peter
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2018

description: In this thesis, I examine the relation between the account of mechanical memory in Hegel's Encyclopedia of the Philosophical Sciences and the speculative sentence in his Phenomenology of Spirit. Both accounts involve a transition to speculative thinking, a kind of thinking that is free from given images and representations. By discussing them together I hope to illuminate how speculative thinking functions for Hegel and why it is important. Specifically, I try to show how what Hegel calls mechanical memory can shed light on Hegel's more familiar notion of the speculative sentence. I also draw out implications of language and mechanical memory for what Hegel calls speculative thinking.

description: This thesis analyses the progression of automatic gasoline lighting systems, [air-gas machines], from the 1840's through the 1920's. The automatic gasoline lighting systems are evaluated from the perspective of the four key elements in preservation: historic significance, historic context, historic integrity and the sense of place. The history of manufactured gas in the United States includes a period, 1840-1920, where stand-alone gas generators were in existence for lighting country estates and other establishments that were remote from the main gas lines of the cities. As early as the 1850's, illuminating gas producing machines were constructed that enabled the outlying areas to experience the same lighting benefits that were in use in the municipalities. These individual gas machines employed an air-machine [powered by a concrete weight or hydropower] that forced air through a carburetor that vaporized the gasoline, or other fuel, and directed the gas through a system of piping. Advancements in technology promoted the progression of illuminating gases and devices during the latter half of the nineteenth century. The inventions and innovations that occurred applied the known scientific principles to solve fuel and mechanical problems that occurred in the earlier versions of air gas machines. The progression of patented gas lighting processes and apparatus illustrates the understanding of how the combustion process works and how volatile fuels responded 'to a variety of stimuli such as heat, and carbureting. Through the use of case studies and evaluating tools, it has been demonstrated that automatic gas-machines played a fundamental role in the development of social lighting. The advancements in domestic lighting were integrated into use and eventually seen as basic components of the American domestic lifestyle. The research suggests that the documentation on domestic lighting systems will enable future researchers to better describe and understand historic structures and the daily life that took place within.
The Intellectual Intuition of Hegel's Psychology
Creators: name: Schwartz, Daniel
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2018

description: I argue that Hegel appeals to the idea of an 'intellectual intuition' in his Encyclopedia Psychology and that this appeal has important ramifications for the received view of Hegel's mature philosophy. Hegel did not, in my view, break with Schelling over intellectual intuition in as decisive a way as has been claimed. Establishing this greater coftgntinuity between Hegel and Schelling will, I hope, bolster a minority opinion in the literature and highlight a critical yet underappreciated aspect of Hegel's philosophical method. To wit, Hegel was a consummate reviser and, as his dealings with intellectual intuition demonstrate, revamped rather than rejected certain of his predecessors' doctrines.

description: Motivated by the recent experimental realization of ABCB stacked tetralayer graphene [Wirth et al., ACS Nano 16, 16617 (2022)], we study correlated phenomena in moiré-less graphene tetralayers for realistic interaction profiles using an orbital resolved random phase approximation approach. We demonstrate that magnetic fluctuations originating from local interactions are crucial close to the van Hove singularities on the electron- and hole-doped side promoting layer selective ferrimagnetic states. Spin fluctuations around these magnetic states enhance unconventional spin-triplet, valley-singlet superconductivity with $f$-wave symmetry due to intervalley scattering. Charge fluctuations arising from long range Coulomb interactions promote doubly degenerate p-wave superconductivity close to the van Hove singularities. At the conduction band edge of ABCB graphene, we find that both spin and charge fluctuations drive $f$-wave superconductivity. Our analysis suggests a strong competition between superconducting states emerging from long- and short-ranged Coulomb interactions and thus stresses the importance of microscopically derived interaction profiles to make reliable predictions for the origin of superconductivity in graphene based heterostructures.

Seeing Past Causes: Causation and Covariation in Informational Teleosemantics
Creators: name: Collier, Asa
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2018

description: Neander (2017) presents a causal version of informational teleosemantics (CT), where a non-conceptual state R has the content F if and only if R has the function of being caused by F. In contrast, probabilistic versions of informational teleosemantics (PT) claim that R has the content F if and only if R has the function of covarying with F. These two theories ascribe different contents to representational states since PT allows R to have the content F when R non-causally covaries with F. First, I argue that CT is incapable of serving one of the main explanatory aims of a theory of content, which is to fully explain behavior. Second, I defend PT against the charge of indeterminacy, arguing that when PT ascribes multiple contents, these contents serve distinct explanatory aims.

description: Adversarial attacks can mislead automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems into predicting an arbitrary target text, thus posing a clear security threat. To prevent such attacks, we propose DistriBlock, an efficient detection strategy applicable to any ASR system that predicts a probability distribution over output tokens in each time step. We measure a set of characteristics of this distribution: the median, maximum, and minimum over the output probabilities, the entropy of the distribution, as well as the Kullback-Leibler and the Jensen-Shannon divergence with respect to the distributions of the subsequent time step. Then, by leveraging the characteristics observed for both benign and adversarial data, we apply binary classifiers, including simple threshold-based classification, ensembles of such classifiers, and neural networks. Through extensive analysis across different state-of-the-art ASR systems and language data sets, we demonstrate the supreme performance of this approach, with a mean area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for distinguishing target adversarial examples against clean and noisy data of 99% and 97%, respectively. To assess the robustness of our method, we show that adaptive adversarial examples that can circumvent DistriBlock are much noisier, which makes them easier to detect through filtering and creates another avenue for preserving the system's robustness.

Year: 2025

description: This study explores discussions after World War Two surrounding the Teutonic Order’s archives in Königsberg, with a focus on Swedish historians’ interest in the topic. Amidst debates over the archives’ localization, the complexities of archival provenance emerge, influenced by wartime movements and national affiliations. The dispute over the Teutonic Order’s archive unfolded against the backdrop of international legal and historical arguments. Scholars like Herbert Kraus and Erich Weise advocated for their retention in Germany, emphasizing their significance for Western European research interests. Conversely, Polish claims to the archives underscored their importance within the context of Polish history. International scholars, including Emil Schieche, contributed perspectives transcending national boundaries, but often intertwined with nationalist ideologies. The principle of provenance emerged as a central point of contention, with interpretations varying among scholars. This fluidity in provenance complicates efforts to determine ownership and jurisdiction over historical documents, particularly in the aftermath of territorial changes and population displacements in the wake of World War Two. In summary, the dispute over the Teutonic Order’s archive highlights the intricate nature of provenance and its interpretation, shaped by historical, cultural, and national identity considerations. Divergent perspectives among scholars reflect varying understandings of provenance’s relevance and implications for the ownership and fate of historical archives on a global scale.

The Fragility of Convergence: Public Reason, Political Liberalism and Stability
Creators: name: Fryfogle, Paul
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2018

description: John Rawls's move from A Theory of Justice to Political Liberalism was motivated by his dissatisfaction with the account of stability offered in part III of Theory. Even members of Rawls's well-ordered society need the assurance that, should they choose to maintain their sense of justice, others will do the same'members prefer to cooperate, but only if they are reasonably sure of others' cooperation. This is the mutual assurance problem for stability. In recent for years, a growing number of theorist have argued that Rawls's assurance mechanism, in the form of public reason, fails in societies marked by pervasive disagreement. These theorists have proposed convergence accounts as offering better solutions to the assurance problem. This thesis argues that the assurance convergence offers cannot be maintained because of the deep pluralism with which convergence theorists are rightly concerned.

description: Pharmacogenomics (PGx) can facilitate the transition to patient-specific drug regimens and thus improve their efficacy and reduce toxicity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the overlap of PGx classification for drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination (ADME)-related genes in the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) PGx labeling and in the Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium (CPIC) database. FDA-approved drugs and PGx labeling for ADME genes were identified in the CPIC database. Drugs were filtered by their association with ADME (pharmacokinetics)-related genes, PGx FDA labeling class, and CPIC evidence level. FDA PGx labeling was classified as either actionable, informative, testing recommended, or testing required, and varying CPIC evidence levels as either A, B, C, or D. From a total of 442 ADME and non-ADME gene–drug pairs in the CPIC database, 273, 55, and 48 pairs were excluded for lack of FDA labeling, mixed CPIC evidence level provisional classification, and non-ADME gene–drug pairs, respectively. The 66 ADME gene–drug pairs were classified into the following categories: 10 (15%) informative, 49 (74%) actionable, 6 (9%) testing recommended, and 1 (2%) testing required. CYP2D6 was the most prevalent gene among the FDA PGx labeling. From the ADME gene–drug pairs with both FDA and CPIC PGx classification, the majority of the drugs were for depression, cancer, and pain medications. The ADME gene–drug pairs with FDA PGx labeling considerably overlap with CPIC classification; however, a large number of ADME gene–drug pairs have only CPIC evidence levels but not FDA classification. PGx actionable labeling was the most common classification, with CYP2D6 as the most prevalent ADME gene in the FDA PGx labeling. Health professionals can impact therapeutic outcomes via pharmacogenetic interventions by analyzing and reconciling the FDA labels and CPIC database.
Children Of Genius: Affirmation Of Will In Schopenhauer's Aesthetics
Creators: name: Mauney, Clare
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2019

description: While Schopenhauer is well-known for his pessimistic outlook on life, I argue that not all aspects of his philosophical project support this outlook.  Specifically, I argue that Schopenhauer's aesthetic genius must necessarily affirm life through artistic creation.  To show that this is the case, I contend that the aesthetic genius' engagement with the world of representation precludes him from engaging in the denial of the will-to-live, and that his desire to communicate his knowledge of the world entails an affirmation of the will-to-live.  I furthermore outline and explore significant parallels between artistic creation and procreation, which I believe strengthen my reading of the aesthetic genius as one who affirms life.  These claims lead me to conclude that the aesthetic genius affirms the will-to-live by seeking to create something that immortalizes his knowledge of the nature of things'that is, by giving birth to what Schopenhauer calls 'immortal children.'

description: The allowed charge-changing transitions are the most common weak interaction processes of spin-isospin form that play a crucial role in several nuclear/astrophysical processes. The first-forbidden (FF) transition becomes important, in the circumstances where allowed Gamow-Teller (GT) transitions are unfavored, specifically for neutron-rich nuclei due to phase space considerations. In this paper deformed proton-neutron quasi-particle random phase approximation (pn-QRPA) model is applied, for the first time, for the estimation of allowed GT and unique first-forbidden (U1F) transitions ($|Δ$J$|$ = 2) of neutron rich copper isotopes in mass range 72 $\leq$ A $\leq$ 82 under stellar conditions. We compared our computed terrestrial $β$-decay half-life values with previous calculations and experimental results. It was concluded that the pn-QRPA calculation is in good accordance with measured data. Our study suggests that the addition of rank (0 and 1) operators in FF transitions can further improve the comparison which remain unattended at this stage. The deformed pn-QRPA model was employed for the estimation of GT and U1F stellar electron emission ($β$$^{-}$-decay) rates over wide range of stellar temperature (0.01 GK -- 30 GK) and density (10 -- 10$^{11}$ g/cm$^{3}$) domains for astrophysical applications. Our study shows that, in high density and low temperature regions, the contribution of U1F rates to total electron emission rates of neutron-rich copper nuclei is negligible.

Arguments for Banning Autonomous Weapon Systems: A Critique

Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2019

description: Autonomous Weapon Systems (AWS) are the next logical advancement for military technology. There is a significant concern though that by allowing such systems on the battlefield, we are collectively abdicating our moral responsibility. In this thesis, I will examine two arguments that advocate for a total ban on the use of AWS. I call these arguments the 'Responsibility' and the 'Agency' arguments. After presenting these arguments, I provide my own objections and demonstrate why these arguments fail to convince. I then provide an argument as to why the use of AWS is a rational choice in the evolution of warfare. I conclude my thesis by providing a framework upon which future international regulations regarding AWS could be built.
Understanding Other Conscious Minds
Creators: name: Alonso, Nicholas
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2019

description: Thinking about others' conscious experiences (emotional feelings, perceptual experience, moods, etc.) seems commonplace in human social life, yet this aspect of social cognition has been largely ignored by social psychologists and philosophers. In this paper, I develop the beginnings of an account of how we understand other conscious minds. My view builds off of the dominant hybrid theory, which is the view that people use two distinct processes to think about others' mental states: theorizing and mental simulation. My main argument is that we can attribute conscious experiences to others using either simulation or theorizing, but simulations are better mental representations of others' conscious experiences than instances of theorizing. Simulations thereby provide us with a deeper understanding of others' experiences than theorizing does.

description: The increasing availability of user data on music streaming platforms opens up new possibilities for analyzing music consumption. However, understanding the evolution of user preferences remains a complex challenge, particularly as their musical tastes change over time. This paper uses the dictionary learning paradigm to model user trajectories across different musical genres. We define a new framework that captures recurring patterns in genre trajectories, called pathlets, enabling the creation of comprehensible trajectory embeddings. We show that pathlet learning reveals relevant listening patterns that can be analyzed both qualitatively and quantitatively. This work improves our understanding of users' interactions with music and opens up avenues of research into user behavior and fostering diversity in recommender systems. A dataset of 2000 user histories tagged by genre over 17 months, supplied by Deezer (a leading music streaming company), is also released with the code.

description: In this paper, we study the control of a mobile robot, namely, bypassing obstacles in an unknown environment. The purpose of this work is to develop a hierarchical fuzzy control system based on fuzzy production rules. Within this work, a search and analysis of literature on this topic was carried out and a hierarchical control system for avoiding obstacles by a mobile robot was developed. In the result, the system of obstacle avoidance was created. The system is able to complete assigned tasks.
Management of Historic Trails through Wyoming

description: This thesis examines all the factors that must be taken into account as the Bureau of Land Management, and the Oregon-California Trails Association works to preserve the Historic National Trails that run through the State of Wyoming. This thesis examines the issues that are involved in preservation from all of the major stakeholders. These stakeholders include: The agricultural community, and oil and gas industry, the tourism industry, and the Bureau of Land Management itself. The research includes interviews with all of the stakeholders to examine their attitudes and ideas about preservation of the trails. The thesis concludes showing that, at this point in time, all stakeholders in this process are willing to work together to preserve historic trails as long as there is some compromise on the federal governments side. Even though, in the past, there has been animosity between many of the stakeholders and the BLM, this work shows that all groups are still willing to work together in preservation of the trails. All of the stakeholders must begin to work on a hierarchy of preservation and each must be willing to compromise and reach a consensus that will benefit all of the current stakeholders.
Finding Prejudice in Unexpected Places: Racially Biased Perception
Creators: name: Knafelc, Spencer
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2019

description: A series of experiments reveal that people are more likely to mistake black men as holding a gun than white men (Payne 2001; Payne et al., 2002; Correll et al., 2002). These data suggest that real-world cases of racially biased object-identification occur, such as in cases of police killings of unarmed black men. The aim of this paper is to correctly model what goes on in people's heads, leading them to misidentify objects in these instances. One possibility is that people are making the wrong judgment about the object in question; perception might proceed as it should, but the viewer may think that they're seeing a gun due to a cognitive error. Instead, I present a model which construes the error as a result of a visual illusion: even though the object is a hand tool, erroneous visual processing causes them to have the illusory experience of a gun.
$1/f$ noise in semiconductors arising from the heterogeneous detrapping process of individual charge carriers

description: We propose a model of $1/f$ noise in semiconductors based on the drift of individual charge carriers and their interaction with the trapping centers. We assume that the trapping centers are homogeneously distributed in the material. The trapping centers are assumed to be heterogeneous and have unique detrapping rates. We show that uniform detrapping rate distribution emerges as a natural consequence of the vacant trap depths following the Boltzmann distribution, and the detrapping process obeying Arrhenius law. When these laws apply, and if the trapping rate is low in comparison to the maximum detrapping rate, $1/f$ noise in the form of Hooge's relation is recovered. Hooge's parameter, $α_{H}$, is shown to be a ratio between the characteristic trapping rate and the maximum detrapping rate. The proposed model implies that $1/f$ noise arises from the temporal charge carrier number fluctuations, not from the spatial mobility fluctuations.

A Preliminary Identification of Historic Postwar Residential Subdivisions in San Antonio, 1945 to 1964

description: Following World War II, American cities underwent a radical change in their urban form. The former suburbs of the central cities, which had been made up of bedroom communities, and functioned as extensions of the city's residential land use pattern, changed dramatically. This thesis examines the history and design of the American postwar residential subdivision and suggests that many have a heritage of logical community planning techniques, architecture, and landscape design. Using San Antonio as an example, and a time frame of 1945 to 1964, the study identifies four residential subdivisions that are representative of their development history, location in the community, and their design. The thesis also suggests that these four subdivisions may be historically significant and merit historic district designation. Last, the thesis indicates that the identification of historic postwar residential subdivisions maybe a key to more effective management of urban growth. An understanding of postwar suburban history can provide insight to preservationists and city planners for better preservation and planning of older suburban areas.
Butler and Kant on Human Nature and Morality
Creators: name: Liu, Botian
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2019

description: Kant and Butler have a sharp methodological conflict in justifying moral obligations. While Kant argues that moral obligations can only be grounded in a prior justifications rather than in anything empirical, Joseph Butler grounds moral obligations in the empirical knowledge of human beings. Despite the apparent radical difference, I argue that Kant agrees with Butler that moral obligations must be grounded in the understanding of human beings. They, however, fundamentally disagree about human nature, which generates their methodological conflict in studying morality. For Kant, the essential attribute for human beings is autonomy, which presupposes independence from any particular experience. In contrast, Butler understands human nature as a system that includes different particular experience. Although there is no conclusive answer of the correct understanding of human nature, I suggest that Butler's account of moral obligations is a plausible one that can be considered as a counterexample to Kant's account.
The Body of Ideas: Nietzsche, Embodiment, and the Genealogical Method

description: How are we to understand Nietzsche's ubiquitous use of physiological language and imagery in On the Genealogy of Morality' I claim that Nietzsche's use of physiological language is a crucial element of the method of historical investigation he develops ('genealogy'). If Nietzsche's genealogy attends to the practices of moral concepts, then the physiological undergoing of those practices will be important data for the genealogist. In other words, in Nietzsche's critical-historical investigation of morality, accounts of physiological experience will be crucial for having an accurate picture of the practices under investigation. This improved mode of historical investigation sees morality not simply as set of beliefs, but as a lived practice.
