description: This study offers a history of the concept of realism in portrait photography through the examination of a set of categories that have colored photographic practices since the origins of the medium in 1839: the posed and the candid. The first section of this study deals with the practices of posing in early photography, with chapters on the daguerreotype, the carte de visite, and the amateur snapshot photograph. Considering technological advances in conjunction with prevailing cultural mores and aesthetic practices, this section traces the changing cultural meaning of the portrait photograph, the obsolescence of the pose, and the emergence of an "unposed" aesthetic in photography. The second section of this study examines three key photographers and their strategies of photographic representation, all of which involved candid photography: it looks at Erich Salomon's pioneering photojournalism, Humphrey Spender's politicized sociological photography, and Walker Evans' complex maneuvering of the documentary form. Here, the emphasis is on the ways in which the trope of the candid informed these three distinct spheres of photography in the early 20th century, and the ways in which the photographic aesthetic of candor cohered with--or contested--political and cultural developments of the interwar period in Germany, Britain, and the United States.

description: Abstract (abridged edition): Properties of the relativistic nucleon self-energy decomposition of the symmetry energy as well as the equation of state (EOS) of pure neutron matter (PNM) are explored systematically within the QCD sum rules (QCDSR). Our results in the present work have demonstrated that the QCDSR approach can be used to explore the properties of asymmetric nuclear matter (ANM) in a quantitative manner, at least in lower density region. The QCDSR approach establishes a bridge connecting the EOS of ANM and the non-perturbative QCD vacuum, and thus provides a useful way to understand the properties of dense nucleonic matter from non-perturbative QCD vacuum. These studies are helpful to investigate the QCD origins about the uncertainties of nucleonic matter properties, e.g., the uncertainties of the symmetry energy. On the other hand, the exact knowledge on the EOS of ANM extracted from experiments, observations and model-independent calculations is also very useful for understanding the quark/gluon condensates in nuclear medium, which can provide important information on the chiral symmetry restoration phase transition in nuclear matter as well as the in-medium effects of hadron properties.

Above the coal mines : the evolution of mine reclamation in the United States
Creators: name: Harding, Mike
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Prior to 1977, there was no federal law in the United States that regulated the surface mining aspect of the coal industry. Individual states were responsible for their own regulations and laws. After World War II, most states enacted more stringent post-mining reclamation requirements. By 1965, mine operators were expected to act on their own to restore the land that they mined. The Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMACRA) established permitting guidelines for existing as well as future mining activities. The purpose of SMCRA is to ensure that coal mining is conducted in an environmentally-responsible manner and that the land is progressively reclaimed during the mining process. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, coal-mining states developed their own programs consistent with SMCRA and were given the primary responsibility to regulate surface coal mining on lands with the federal Office of Surface Mining providing jurisdiction. This paper presents a photographic history of coal mine reclamation as it was practiced from the 1940s to the present day and suggests that through observation of past mine reclamation practices we can develop strategies for future land rehabilitation.

description: Feature generating networks face to the most important question, which is the fitting difference (inconsistence) of the distribution between the generated feature and the real data. This inconsistence further influence the performance of the networks model, because training samples from seen classes is disjointed with testing samples from unseen classes in zero-shot learning (ZSL). In generalization zero-shot learning (GZSL), testing samples come from not only seen classes but also unseen classes for closer to the practical situation. Therefore, most of feature generating networks difficultly obtain satisfactory performance for the challenging GZSL by adversarial learning the distribution of semantic classes. To alleviate the negative influence of this inconsistence for ZSL and GZSL, transfer feature generating networks with semantic classes structure (TFGNSCS) is proposed to construct networks model for improving the performance of ZSL and GZSL. TFGNSCS can not only consider the semantic structure relationship between seen and unseen classes, but also learn the difference of generating features by transferring classification model information from seen to unseen classes in networks. The proposed method can integrate the transfer loss, the classification loss and the Wasserstein distance loss to generate enough CNN features, on which softmax classifiers are trained for ZSL and GZSL. Experiments demonstrate that the performance of TFGNSCS outperforms that of the state of the arts on four challenging datasets, which are CUB,FLO,SUN, AWA in GZSL.

Our results are generally consistent with an LMTO band structure calculation which predicts four exchange-split Fermi surface sheets. Quasiparticle effective masses are enhanced by a factor of about 4.9 implying a strong coupling to magnetic excitations or phonons. Our measurements provide insight in to the mechanism for superconductivity and unusual thermodynamic properties of ZrZn2.

description: The data reduction procedure for radio interferometers can be viewed as a combined calibration and imaging problem. We present an algorithm that unifies cross-calibration, self-calibration, and imaging. Being a Bayesian method, that algorithm does not only calculate an estimate of the sky brightness distribution, but also provides an estimate of the joint uncertainty which entails both the uncertainty of the calibration and the one of the actual observation. The algorithm is formulated in the language of information field theory and uses Metric Gaussian Variational Inference (MGVI) as the underlying statistical method. So far only direction-independent antenna-based calibration is considered. This restriction may be released in future work. An implementation of the algorithm is contributed as well.

Possessions and the Self: Downstream Consequences of Ownership and Sharing What We Own

description: My dissertation is based on the premise that possessions are an extension of the self. Beyond simple functional benefits that possessions provide us, I question whether possessions affect our self-perception and behavior. Specifically, I focus on two aspects of possessions: Ownership (Essay 1) and Sharing (Essay 2). In Essay 1, I find that feeling a sense of product ownership has downstream consequences in one’s representation of who s/he is. Here I reveal that salient feelings of product ownership activate a product-related self in one’s mind, but more importantly deactivate product-unrelated self. By identifying simultaneous identity activation and deactivation, I show that an individual can only hold a limited number of salient selves, and activating one’s self aspect requires a trade-off. This finding updates the prior assumption in the literature that an individual can hold an unlimited number of selves, and further suggests that there is still a finite limit to what can be salient at a given time. My interest in ownership extends to Essay 2, where I examine another behavioral aspect of consumers: sharing. Sharing behavior has received much attention lately due to the rise of sharing economy platforms, which provide new opportunities for consumers to share personal belongings with others. In Essay 2, I mine people’s latent motivation behind sharing by using a transaction dataset from one of the largest sharing economy platforms, Airbnb. Here I find that people are driven by not only monetary, but also non-monetary reasons, such as desires to meet others and share the beauty of their homes. Then I explore how each motivation affects people’s engagement on the sharing economy platform and their continued effort to share. This second essay highlights individuals’ new role as micro-entrepreneurs in this new era of the 21st century.

Possessed by the Other: Dybbuk Possession and Modern Jewish Identity in Twentieth-Century Jewish Literature and Beyond

description: This dissertation explores the metaphor of dybbuk possession as a key to modern Jewish identity, focusing on the evolution of the dybbuk possession trope in twentieth- and twenty-first century Yiddish, English, Hebrew, and Polish language Jewish literature and culture. First described in the sixteenth century, dybbuk possession - a Jewish variant of spirit possession found in many cultures - grew out of the Jewish mystical tradition, especially the kabbalistic doctrine of transmigration of souls, according to which a soul of a deceased person took possession of a living human being. The trope of possession can be viewed as a mode of reflection on the modern Jewish experience, which shows how the past continuously possesses the present, and how this haunting attachment to the past becomes an essential component of Jewish identity. Highly interdisciplinary in character and transnational in scope, this project draws upon scholarship in gender, trauma, body, memory, and performance studies. An overview of cultural background of dybbuk possession (Chapter 1) is followed by an exploration of how the dybbuk possession trope is deployed metaphorically in Yiddish classics (Chapter 2), Holocaust narratives (Chapter 3), feminist fiction (Chapter 4), as well as in a selection of film and theater adaptations of S. An-sky's iconic drama, The Dybbuk, Or Between Two Worlds (1914) produced in Poland, Israel and the United States (Chapter 5). Finally, this dissertation features an unprecedented compilation of over seventy adaptations of An-sky's Dybbuk staged since the play's premiere in 1920 (Appendix).

description: A change detection system takes as input two images of a region captured at two different times, and predicts which pixels in the region have undergone change over the time period. Since pixel-based analysis can be erroneous due to noise, illumination difference and other factors, contextual information is usually used to determine the class of a pixel (changed or not). This contextual information is taken into account by considering a pixel of the difference image along with its neighborhood. With the help of ground truth information, the labeled patterns are generated. Finally, Broad Learning classifier is used to get prediction about the class of each pixel. Results show that Broad Learning can classify the data set with a significantly higher F-Score than that of Multilayer Perceptron. Performance comparison has also been made with other popular classifiers, namely Multilayer Perceptron and Random Forest.

Eccentric binary black hole mergers in globular clusters hosting intermediate-mass black holes

description: Globular clusters (GCs) may harbour intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) at their centres. In these dynamically active environments stellar-mass black holes (SBHs) sink to the center soon after formation, due to dynamical friction and start interacting among themselves and with the central IMBH. Likely, some of the SBHs will form bound systems with the IMBH. A fraction of those will be triple systems composed of binary SBHs and the IMBH acting as a third distant perturber. If the SBH binary orbit is sufficiently inclined it can develop Lidov-Kozai (LK) oscillations, which can drive the system to high eccentricities and eventually to a merger due to gravitational wave (GW) emission on short timescales. In this work, we focus on the dynamics of the IMBH-SBH-SBH triples and illustrate that these systems can be possible sources of GWs. A distinctive signature of this scenario is that a considerable fraction of these mergers are highly eccentric when entering the LIGO band ($10$ Hz). Assuming that $\sim 20\%$ of GCs host IMBHs and a GC density in the range $n_{_{\rm GC}}=0.32$-$2.31\,\mathrm{Mpc}^{-3}$, we have estimated a rate $Γ=0.06$-$0.46\,\mathrm{Gpc}^{-3}\,\mathrm{yr}^{-1}$ of these events. This suggests that dynamically-driven binary SBH mergers in this scenario could contribute to the merger events observed by LIGO/VIRGO. Full $N$-body simulations of GCs harbouring IMBHs are highly desirable to give a more precise constrain on this scenario.

Positive, Small, Homogeneous, and Durable: Political Persuasion in Response to Information

Publisher: name: Columbia University

Subjects: subject: Human information processing
subject: Decision making
subject: Political science
subject: FOS: Political science

description: This dissertation offers a theory of political persuasion rooted in a Bayesian model of information processing. I support this theory with the results of 20 survey experiments, conducted variously on convenience samples and nationally-representative surveys. From these data, I draw four main conclusions. First, when confronted with persuasive messages, individuals update their views in the direction of information. Second, people change their minds about political issues in small increments. Third, persuasion in the direction of information occurs regardless of background characteristics, initial beliefs, or ideological position. Finally, these changes in political attitudes are not ephemeral, in most cases lasting at least 10 days.
      These findings stand in contrast to the predictions of the attitude polarization literature, which posits that the effects of persuasion attempts will be positive for some, but negative for others. Across these 20 experiments, I was unable to find any evidence of negative effects (defined as attitude changes away from treatment information) for any subgroup defined by standard demographics, prior attitudes, or their intersections. Instead, people appear to update their views in a manner consistent with Bayes' rule, i.e., as a weighted average of prior beliefs and new information.

description: Community development programs and practices have been led by a variety of programs and organizations including government agencies, community development corporations (CDCs), other nonprofit organizations and community leaders. However, the most important stakeholder, the community, was not involved in the decision making or implementation of many of these initiatives.
This has had significant consequences to low-income families and communities as some of these iniatives have perpetuated negative health, educational and economic conditions and disparities for people of color and poor neighborhoods across the nation. To address the power imbalance in the planning of poor neighborhoods, the fields of city planning and community development have started to incorporate participatory practices. However, rarely do participatory practices give power to residents by allowing them to be decision makers in the planning of community development strategies. How can planning become transformative and consider capacity building, community empowerment and a true redistribution of power from professionals to community members?
This thesis considers how community-based organizations (CBOs) have acted as transformative planners by creating spaces for residents to participate in the decision-making and implementation of community improvement projects. It considers the work of the Brownsville Community Justice Center and its partners in facilitating resident involvement, specifically for youth of color engaged in the juvenile or criminal justice system, in the improvement of a disenfranchised community. This thesis seeks to understand the value of involving youth, who are at a critical stage in their development, in community improvement efforts.

Embedding a Native State into a Random Heteropolymer Model: The Dynamic Approach

description: We study a random heteropolymer model with Langevin dynamics, in the supersymmetric formulation. Employing a procedure similar to one that has been used in static calculations, we construct an ensemble in which the affinity of the system for a native state is controlled by a "selection temperature" T0. In the limit of high T0, the model reduces to a random heteropolymer, while for T0-->0 the system is forced into the native state. Within the Gaussian variational approach that we employed previously for the random heteropolymer, we explore the phases of the system for large and small T0. For large T0, the system exhibits a (dynamical) spin glass phase, like that found for the random heteropolymer, below a temperature Tg. For small T0, we find an ordered phase, characterized by a nonzero overlap with the native state, below a temperature Tn \propto 1/T0 > Tg. However, the random-globule phase remains locally stable below Tn, down to the dynamical glass transition at Tg. Thus, in this model, folding is rapid for temperatures between Tg and Tn, but below Tg the system can get trapped in conformations uncorrelated with the native state. At a lower temperature, the ordered phase can also undergo a dynamical glass transition, splitting into substates separated by large barriers.

Diabrotica Chevrolat in Dejean 1836: 380 (type species Crioceris fucata Fabricius, 1787, by subsequent designation of Barber 1947a).
Remarks
This is a very large genus, with nearly 400 described species from the New World and includes some of the most agriculturally damaging pests on Earth. Species from North and Central America have recently been treated by Derunkov et al. (2020). However, although there are studies of local faunas and of certain species groups, there is no modern, comprehensive treatment for the species from South America. See Fig. 67 for a habitus illustration.

The Status of Diffeomorphism Superselection in Euclidean 2+1 Gravity

description: This work addresses a specific technical question of relevance to canonical quantization of gravity using the so-called new variables and loop-based techniques of Ashtekar, Rovelli, and Smolin. In particular, certain `superselection laws' that arise in current applications of these techniques to solving the diffeomorphism constraint are considered. Their status is elucidated by studying an analogous system: 2+1 Euclidean gravity. For that system, these superselection laws are shown to be spurious. This, however, is only a technical difficulty. The usual quantum theory may still be obtained from a loop representation and the technique known as `Refined Algebraic Quantization.'

description: The one thousand New Deal era post offices with interior art (commissioned under the Treasury Department’s Section of Fine Arts) that are spread throughout the nation, are representative not only of architectural norms of the era but of social values. These resources are defined by a unique relationship between art, architecture, and community that demonstrate a concern for regional identity, state a belief in equal access, assert that citizens are entitled to aesthetically beautiful environments and cultural experiences, and stand as crucial remnants of an exceptional moment in American history. Yet today, recent divestments of post offices by the United States Postal Service (USPS) have cast doubt on the future of a number of these significant historic resources. Although the speed of divestments is largely in keeping with historic trends, recent perceptions of a heightened threat (particularly due to the concentration of sales in California) has initiated a broad discussion around the ways in which properties are sold and reused. As the USPS continues to downsize, and with the innovations in technology that are driving mail services into the digital realm, the vast majority of the USPS’s purpose-built properties will no longer have a future as post offices. Instead, these structures, if they are to remain a part of the nation’s built heritage, must find new uses. Through examining the historical moment in which these structures were created, the policy issues and procedures of contemporary divestment processes, and the methods employed to reuse previously divested post offices, this thesis codifies the significance of these structures, and provides recommendations for the successful reuse and reintegration of historic post offices from the 1930s, with interior Section artwork, in the national landscape.

Domain wall encoding of discrete variables for quantum annealing and QAOA
Creators: name: Chancellor, Nicholas
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this paper I propose a new method of encoding discrete variables into Ising model qubits for quantum optimization. The new method is based on the physics of domain walls in one dimensional Ising spin chains. I find that these encodings and the encoding of arbitrary two variable interactions is possible with only two body Ising terms. Following on from similar results for the `one hot' method of encoding discrete variables [Hadfield et. al. Algorithms 12.2 (2019): 34] I also demonstrate that it is possible to construct two body mixer terms which do not leave the logical subspace, an important consideration for optimising using the quantum alternating operator ansatz (QAOA). I additionally discuss how, since the couplings in the domain wall encoding only need to be ferromagnetic and therefore could in principle be much stronger than anti-ferromagnetic couplers, application specific quantum annealers for discrete problems based on this construction may be beneficial. Finally, I compare embedding for synthetic scheduling and colouring problems with the domain wall and one hot encodings on two graphs which are relevant for quantum annealing, the chimera graph and the Pegasus graph. For every case I examine I find a similar or better performance from the domain wall encoding as compared to one hot, but this advantage is highly dependent on the structure of the problem. For encoding some problems, I find an advantage similar to the one found by embedding in a Pegasus graph compared to embedding in a chimera graph.

description: On the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}$ in a real Hilbert space $\mathbf{H}$, we derive a binary operation $\odot$ such that $(\mathbb{S},\odot)$ is a power-associative Kikkawa left loop with two-sided identity $\mathbf{e}_0$, i.e., it has the left inverse, automorphic inverse, and $A_l$ properties. The operation $\odot$ is compatible with the symmetric space structure of $\mathbb{S}$. $(\mathbb{S},\odot)$ is not a loop, and the right translations which fail to be injective are easily characterized. $(\mathbb{S},\odot)$ satisfies the left power alternative and left Bol identities ``almost everywhere'' but not everywhere. Left translations are everywhere analytic; right translations are analytic except at $-\mathbf{e}_0$ where they have a nonremovable discontinuity. The orthogonal group $O(\mathbf{H})$ is a semidirect product of $(\mathbb{S},\odot)$ with its automorphism group (cf. http://www.arxiv.org/abs/math.GR/9907085). The left loop structure of $(\mathbb{S},\odot)$ gives some insight into spherical geometry.

Suppressed spontaneous emission for coherent momentum transfer

description: Strong optical forces with minimal spontaneous emission are desired for molecular deceleration and atom interferometry applications. We report experimental benchmarking of such a stimulated optical force driven by ultrafast laser pulses. We apply this technique to accelerate atoms, demonstrating up to an average of $19$ $\hbar k$ momentum transfers per spontaneous emission event. This represents more than an order of magnitude improvement in suppression of spontaneous emission compared to radiative scattering forces. For molecular beam slowing, this technique is capable of delivering a many-fold increase in the achievable time-averaged force to significantly reduce both the slowing distance and detrimental losses to dark vibrational states.
