Interactions in noncommutative dynamics
Creators: name: Arveson, William
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1999
Subjects: subject: Operator Algebras (math.OA)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: A mathematical notion of interaction is introduced for noncommutative dynamical systems, i.e., for one parameter groups of *-automorphisms of $\Cal B(H)$ endowed with a certain causal structure. With any interaction there is a well-defined "state of the past" and a well-defined "state of the future". We describe the construction of many interactions involving cocycle perturbations of the CAR/CCR flows and show that they are nontrivial. The proof of nontriviality is based on a new inequality, relating the eigenvalue lists of the "past" and "future" states to the norm of a linear functional on a certain C^*-algebra.

Aspects of the history and archaeology of medieval Seaford
Creators: name: Gardiner, Mark
Publisher: name: Archaeology Data Service

description: Sussex Archaeological Collections, 133, 189-212
description: The town of Seaford was founded in the late 11 th century at the mouth of the River Guse. It grew rapidly until about 1280, and its subsequent decline was hastened by attacks by the French during the 14th century and possibly by the effects of the Black Death. The town recovered in the late 14th and 15th centuries, but did not reach its former level of prosperity. Excavations in 1993 examined part of the frontage of Church Street and an area around a surviving medieval undercroft. Three or four tenements were recognized, and the medieval use of some areas may be identified. A study of the undercroft suggests that it was built in the mid-13th century. The undercroft and its associated building lay in a central position close to the port and the heart of the town.

description: This comparative study was conducted to explore achievement motivation and learning approaches of agricultural students and to examine students’ views on educational factors influencing their achievement motivation and learning approaches. The statistical population of this study comprised agricultural students of Tehran University (Tehran, Iran) and Ghent University (Belgium). A sample of 89 agricultural students from Tehran University and 85 agricultural students from Ghent University participated in this study, using the random sampling method. A questionnaire was used to obtain data on respondents’ demographic characteristics, viewpoints on educational factors, achievement motivation, and learning approaches of respondents. Validity and reliability coefficient of the instrument were determined through opinions of professors and application of coefficient alpha (more than 0.8 for different parts). Based on the results, there was no significant difference between the two groups (Iranian and Flemish students) on intrinsic motivation, while the two groups showed significant difference on extrinsic motivation. There were, also, differences between the two groups of students regarding deep approach to learning. This study implied that both similarities and differences can be observed on the factors influencing achievement motivation and learning approaches of agricultural students in different learning contexts. Based on the findings, conclusions were drawn and recommendations were put forth.
Narrative Topography: Fictions of Country, City, and Suburb in the Work of Virginia Woolf, W. G. Sebald, Kazuo Ishiguro, and Ian McEwan
Creators: McArthur, Elizabeth Andrews
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2012
Subjects: Landscapes in literature

description: This dissertation analyzes how twentieth- and early twenty-first- century novelists respond to the English landscape through their presentation of narrative and their experiments with novelistic form. Opening with a discussion of the English planning movement, "Narrative Topography" reveals how shifting perceptions of the structure of English space affect the content and form of the contemporary novel. The first chapter investigates literary responses to the English landscape between the World Wars, a period characterized by rapid suburban growth. It reveals how Virginia Woolf, in Mrs. Dalloway and Between the Acts, reconsiders which narrative choices might be appropriate for mobilizing and critiquing arguments about the relationship between city, country, and suburb. The following chapters focus on responses to the English landscape during the present era. The second chapter argues that W. G. Sebald, in The Rings of Saturn, constructs rural Norfolk and Suffolk as containing landscapes of horror--spaces riddled with sinkholes that lead his narrator to think about near and distant acts of violence. As Sebald intimates that this forms a porous "landscape" in its own right, he draws attention to the fallibility of representation and the erosion of cultural memory. The third chapter focuses on Kazuo Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go, a novel in which a cloned human being uses descriptions of landscape to express and, more often, to suppress the physical and emotional pain associated with her position in society. By emphasizing his narrator's proclivity towards euphemism and pastiche, Ishiguro intimates that, in an era of mechanical and genetic reproduction, reliance on perspectives formed in past and imagined futures can be quite deadly. The fourth chapter analyzes Ian McEwan's post 9/11 novel, Saturday--a reworking of Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway. In reading these two novels side-by-side, it reveals how London, its suburbs, and the English countryside might be imagined differently in the contemporary consciousness. Together these chapters investigate why novelistic treatments of the English landscape might interest contemporary readers who live outside England (and/or read these works in translation), especially during an era in which the English landscape has ceased to function as the real or metaphorical center of empire.

description: The aim of this study was to compare the social capital indicators of members and non-members of cooperatives in Siahkal County, Iran. The sample size was calculated by the Cochran formula to include300individuals (150 member cooperatives and 150 non-members of the cooperative) that were selected by the stratified random sampling method. The main tool employed in this study was a questionnaire that evaluated the reliability of internal consistency using Cronbach’s alpha was calculated. In this research, correlation coefficients, t-test, Mann-Whitney test and multivariate regression were used for testing hypotheses. Results obtained from inferential findings indicated that there was a significant positive relationship at 1% level between the variables of social cooperation and social interaction, social cooperation and social conflict, social cooperation and informal relations network, social cooperation and trust in others, social cooperation and trust in institutions, social cooperation and social partnership, and finally social conflict and informal relations network. Based on the t-test results, most individual indices of members and non-members of forestry cooperatives showed a significant difference with each other at 1% level. Results showed that there was a significant difference between members and non-members of the cooperative in terms of social capital components of forest dwellers except for the component of trust in institutions, which lacked a significant difference. This analysis shows that about 68% of the variation of the dependent variable is determined by independent variables which were significant here.

description: Characterizing the properties of the host galaxies of merging compact objects provides essential clues to interpret current and future gravitational-wave detections. Here, we investigate the stellar mass, star formation rate (SFR), metallicity and colours of the host galaxies of merging compact objects in the local Universe, by combining the results of MOBSE population-synthesis models together with galaxy catalogs from the EAGLE simulation. We predict that the stellar mass of the host galaxy is an excellent tracer of the merger rate per galaxy ${\rm n}_{\rm GW}$ of double neutron stars (DNSs), double black holes (DBHs) and black hole-neutron star binaries (BHNSs). We find a significant correlation also between ${\rm n}_{\rm GW}$ and SFR. As a consequence, ${\rm n}_{\rm GW}$ correlates also with the $r-$band luminosity and with the $g-r$ colour of the host galaxies. Interestingly, $\gtrsim{}60$ %, $\gtrsim{}64$ % and $\gtrsim{}73$ % of all the DNSs, BHNSs and DBHs merging in the local Universe lie in early-type galaxies, such as NGC 4993. We predict a local DNS merger rate density of $\sim{}238~{\rm Gpc}^{-3}~{\rm yr}~^{-1}$ and a DNS merger rate $\sim{}16-121$ Myr$^{-1}$ for Milky Way-like galaxies. Thus, our results are consistent with both the DNS merger rate inferred from GW170817 and the one inferred from Galactic DNSs.

Inflationary and Deflationary Branches in Extended Pre--Big Bang Cosmology
Creators: name: Lidsey, James E.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1996
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The pre--big bang cosmological scenario is studied within the context of the Brans--Dicke theory of gravity. An epoch of superinflationary expansion may occur in the pre--big bang phase of the Universe's history in a certain region of parameter space. Two models are considered that contain a cosmological constant in the gravitational and matter sectors of the theory, respectively. Classical pre-- and post--big bang solutions are found for both models. The existence of a curvature singularity forbids a classical transition between the two branches. On the other hand, a quantum cosmological approach based on the tunneling boundary condition results in a non--zero transition probability. The transition may be interpreted as a spatial reflection of the wavefunction in minisuperspace.

Hospital cost, price, and quality of care

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2018

description: Objectives: Despite the widespread use of Diagnosis-Related Groups (DRGs) for hospital reimbursement, little empirical evidence exists on the effect of DRG systems on hospital behavior and, ultimately, the quality of care. Additionally, an overview on the results of prior literature is missing so far. This study aims to provide a synthesis of existing research, including an overview of the data and methods used, the quality measures, the results, as well as the strengths and weaknesses of the studies. Method: DRG prices can be considered to be in-between individual hospital costs and external fixed prices, as they reflect the average costs of all or selected hospitals within an industry. Therefore, we included studies on hospital costs and prices, and positioned them on a continuum. In sum, 16 studies were identified and considered as high-quality studies by experts. Results: The majority of the studies review the impact of cost on quality of care, while three studies directly focused on the impact of price. The dominant study design was based on repeated cross-sections. Studies differ in the level of data used (hospital versus patient level) and measures of quality (e.g., treatment intensity, readmissions, mortality, and complications). The studies exhibit large heterogeneity in populations and methodology. Although most studies did not detect a significant relationship between hospital cost and quality of care, others suggest that there is a trade-off between them. For some conditions, e.g., Acute myocardial infarction and Pneumonia, authors rather find a trade-off while for others not. This also suggests that the relationship may depend on the condition investigated. Discussion: The synthesis allows to generate questions for further research as well as recommendations for the study design in researching the relationship between hospital cost, price and the quality of care. It also suggests that more research is needed to generate robust evidence on the relationship between cost/price, and quality of care. Additionally, results will inform policymakers about potentially adverse effects of price changes on hospital behavior and ultimately, the quality of care.

description: Recently, we have derived the changes in the absorption spectrum of an exciton when this exciton is photocreated close to a metal. The resolution of this problem -- which has similarities with Fermi edge singularities -- has been made possible by the introduction of ``exciton diagrams''. The validity of this procedure relied on a dreadful calculation based on standard free electron and free hole diagrams, with the semiconductor-metal interaction included at second order only, and its intuitive extention to higher orders. Using the commutation technique we recently introduced to deal with interacting excitons, we are now able to \emph{prove} that this exciton diagram procedure is indeed valid at any order in the interaction. =

description: We investigate how the dark energy properties impact the constraints on the total neutrino mass in interacting dark energy (IDE) models. In this study, we focus on two typical interacting dynamical dark energy models, i.e., the interacting $w$ cold dark matter (I$w$CDM) model and the interacting holographic dark energy (IHDE) model. To avoid the large-scale instability problem in IDE models, we apply the parameterized post-Friedmann approach to calculate the perturbation of dark energy. We employ the Planck 2015 cosmic microwave background temperature and polarization data, combined with low-redshift measurements on baryon acoustic oscillation distance scales, type Ia supernovae, and the Hubble constant, to constrain the cosmological parameters. We find that the dark energy properties could influence the constraint limits on the total neutrino mass. Once dynamical dark energy is considered in the IDE models, the upper bounds of $\sum m_ν$ will be changed. By considering the values of $χ^2_{\rm min}$, we find that in these IDE models the normal hierarchy case is slightly preferred over the inverted hierarchy case; for example, $Δχ^2=2.720$ is given in the IHDE+$\sum m_ν$ model. In addition, we also find that in the I$w$CDM+$\sum m_ν$ model $β=0$ is consistent with current observational data inside the 1$σ$ range, and in the IHDE+$\sum m_ν$ model $β>0$ is favored at more than 2$σ$ level.

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2024

description: This study explores the factors that influence the development of a college-going identity among first-generation middle-school Students of Color from low-income households. Using a multiple case-study design, we conducted in-depth interviews with 17 first-generation middle-school Students of Color to understand the various elements contributing to their perceptions of higher education as an attainable goal. From the preliminary data analysis, we identified three broad themes: (a) positive future orientation, (b) cultural and familial expectations, and (c) peer networks that support college aspirations. Implications include the necessity for interventions that reinforce the link between education and long-term success, culturally responsive practices that engage families in the educational process, and the potential of peer mentoring to foster academic achievement and college readiness.

description: We analyze the relation between isoscalar toroidal modes and so-called pygmy dipole resonance (PDR) which both appear in the same region of low-energy dipole excitations. To this end, we use a theoretical description within the fully self-consistent Skyrme quasiparticle random-phase approximation (QRPA). Test cases are spherical nuclei $^{40,48}$Ca, $^{58,72}$Ni, $^{90,100}$Zr, and $^{100,120,132}$Sn which cover four different elements and for each element at least two isotopes with different neutron excess, one small and another large. The structure of the modes is investigated in terms of strength functions, transition densities (TD) and transition currents (TC). For all considered nuclei, we see that, independently on whether PDR strength exists or not, the flow pattern in the lower part of the "PDR energy region" is basically the isoscalar vortical toroidal motion with a minor irrotational fraction. A one-to-one correspondence between calculated TD and TC can be established. The toroidal flow appears already in the uncoupled two-quasiparticle (2qp) excitations and becomes definitively strong for the QRPA modes. Altogether, we find that low-lying dipole strength often denoted as isoscalar PDR is actually an oversimplified imitation of the basically toroidal motion in nuclei with a sufficient neutron excess.

description: In the poster we summarize the main results of the research on the EU news media landscape. It looked for similarities and differences in the coverage of European affairs across 7 different countries and 14 different national media outlets in 4 periods in 2014 and 2015. Three questions have been crucial: 1. Do national media show interest in European Affairs? 2. How and on which issues do they talk about European Union? 3. How and on which issues do they talk about European Union? Media coverage of European issues tends to be cyclical and to peak during events that national journalism sees as characterized by a specific European dimension. The debate on refugee and, more in general, the so- called “migration crisis” or “refugee crisis” is the most prevalent and spatially universal theme dominating the samples collected from 2015. Youth are only rarely mentioned in connection with European affairs, and their presence is associated only to a limited variety of issues, like education and unemployment. Thus even when rarely evoked as voters, they are considered “bad voters”, under the influence of extreme populism. Youth-oriented media such as the hybrid journalism of VICE (examined in six of its national-language websites), together with the television and radio programs selected by each national team, provide a very different picture of young people: (a) an unrecognized collective force, especially in relation to new technologies and innovation, entrepreneurship and start-ups; (b) growing disenfranchised from and disillusioned with mainstream politics but interested in other forms of participation (i.e. protest and dissent actions; volunteering); (c) generally interested in environmental and cultural issues and active within these realms, especially oriented towards music, cinema and arts; (d) a global (or rather glocal) community of workers, consumers and travelers that goes beyond the European borders.

description: The Hamiltonian approach to the theory of dual isomonodromic deformations is developed within the framework of rational classical R-matrix structures on loop algebras. Particular solutions to the isomonodromic deformation equations appearing in the computation of correlation functions in integrable quantum field theory models are constructed through the Riemann-Hilbert problem method. The corresponding $τ$-functions are shown to be given by the Fredholm determinant of a special class of integral operators.

description: The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) recently observed 18 transits of the hot Jupiter WASP-4b. The sequence of transits occurred 81.6 $\pm$ 11.7 seconds earlier than had been predicted, based on data stretching back to 2007. This is unlikely to be the result of a clock error, because TESS observations of other hot Jupiters (WASP-6b, 18b, and 46b) are compatible with a constant period, ruling out an 81.6-second offset at the 6.4$σ$ level. The 1.3-day orbital period of WASP-4b appears to be decreasing at a rate of $\dot{P} = -12.6 \pm 1.2$ milliseconds per year. The apparent period change might be caused by tidal orbital decay or apsidal precession, although both interpretations have shortcomings. The gravitational influence of a third body is another possibility, though at present there is minimal evidence for such a body. Further observations are needed to confirm and understand the timing variation.

description: Background: Advance care planning documents, including Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment (POLST), are intended to guide care near end of life, particularly in emergency situations. Yet, research on POLST during emergency care is sparse. Methods: A total of 7,055 injured patients age ≥ 65 years were transported by 8 emergency medical services (EMS) agencies to 23 hospitals in Oregon. We linked multiple data sources to EMS records, including: the Oregon POLST Registry, Medicare claims data, Oregon Trauma Registry, Oregon statewide inpatient data, and Oregon vital statistics records. We describe patient and event characteristics by POLST status at time of 9-1-1 contact, subsequent changes in POLST forms, and mortality to 12 months. Results: Of 7,055 injured older adults, 1,412 (20.0%) had a registered POLST form at the time of 911 contact. Among the 1,412 POLST forms, 390 (27.6%) specified full orders, 585 (41.4%) limited interventions, and 437 (30.9%) comfort measures only. By one year, 2,471 (35%) patients had completed POLST forms. Among the 4 groups (no POLST, POLST-full orders, POLST-limited intervention, POLST-comfort measures), Injury Severity Scores were similar. Mortality differences were present by 30 days (5.0%, 4.6%, 8.0%, and 13.3%, p Conclusions: Among injured older adults transported by ambulance in Oregon, one in 5 had an active POLST form at the time of 9-1-1 contact, the prevalence of which increased over the following year. Mortality differences by POLST status were evident at 30 days and large by one year. This information could help emergency, trauma, surgical, inpatient, and outpatient clinicians understand how to guide patients through acute injury episodes of care and post-injury follow up.
Nasser in the Egyptian Imaginary

Literature

description: This dissertation examines the representations of late Egyptian President Gamal `Abdel Nasser (1918-1970) in Egyptian literature and film. It focuses on how the historical character of Nasser has emerged in the Egyptian imaginary--novel, short stories, autobiographies, and films. Rather than engaging in historical arguments about the deeds and legacy of Nasser, my dissertation makes a case for literature and art as alternative archive that questions, erases, distorts, and adds to the official history of Nasser. Employing the famous Aristotelian differentiation between the historian and the poet, and building on Hayden White's argument about the relationship between history and fiction, I argue that the meaning(s) of Nasser for Egyptians must be sought less in recorded history than in fictional narratives. Unlike history, literature and film give voice to marginalized, voiceless witnesses of society. By creating fictional characters that interact with Nasser, these works constitute a space of knowledge, an invaluable window onto the ways people see, personalize, and negotiate their relationships with the President. As this dissertation shows, Nasser constitutes a perfect site for literary and cinematic approaches. Largely seen as the Arab world's most influential political figure of the past century, Nasser was a larger-than-life character, a legend whose image, voice, ideals, accomplishments, deeds and misdeeds, and defeats have been shaping Egyptian and Arabic life to date. Historians, however, often recognize the complexity of Nasser's character, his contradictory traits, and his sometime inexplicable decisions. Particularly ambiguous is how the relationship between Nasser and Egyptians was personalized and often romanticized, transforming a political leader into an attentive audience, a heartthrob lover, and an enigmatic father. Herein lies a major contribution of this dissertation. I argue that history falls short on capturing the centrality of Nasser in Egyptian life. As will be demonstrated, Nasser emerges as a site for plural interpretations, an instance where narratives compete over the meaning of the past. In other words, there is no monolithic discourse on Nasser, but rather various, at times contradictory views that fragment the man into multiple "Nassers." The historical paths and developments which the literary and cinematic Nasser has traversed bespeaks to the shifts in ideals, hopes, and realities that swept the Egyptian society over the past fifty years.

description: At present we have only the very successful but phenomenological Einstein geometrical modelling of the spacetime phenomenon. This geometrical model provides a `container' for other theories, in particular the quantum field theories. Here we report progress in developing a {\em Heraclitean Quantum System}. This is a particular pregeometric theory for space and time in which no classical or geometric structures are assumed, but rather the emergence of such phenomena is sought.

Subjects: Nursing students, scholastic problems, study habits, scholastic interventions

description: Introduction: The academic competency of nursing students is a phenomenon of growing interest because of its economic impact and its negative effects on the availability of future nurses in different healthcare systems. The present study is a cross-sectional study investigating the prevalence of scholastic problems among nursing students, its socio-demographic correlates, and the effectiveness of an intervention tool in improving the perceived scholastic problems and study habits. Methods: The prevalence of the perceived scholastic issues and pre-post data was ascertained through a self-administered Teenage Screening Questionnaire collected electronically. The intervention was delivered by a didactic discussion over video conferencing. Results: 42.1% of students had scholastic problems and 57.5% had study habit problems. There was a statistically significant improvement in both domains after intervention. Conclusion: The findings show the high prevalence of scholastic issues among undergraduate students in nursing colleges and support the need for institutionallevel initiatives to address scholastic issues and the resultant stress
Stanmer: A Restructured Settlement

description: Stanmer village today is a single street of 2 flint and brick built dwellings in neat terraces, together with a combined village stores and café, and a tenant farm. It is owned in its entirety by Brighton Corporation, who allow free public access in the surrounding park land. The open parkscape, dotted with trees, and the Palladian mansion set against a magnificent backdrop of beech and yew, was designed in the 18th century by the Pelham family: but research into earlier sources shows that it was not the Pelhams, but their predecessors, the Michelbornes, who first prepared the ground that enabled this present landscape to take shape.

description: In hybrid improper ferroelectric systems, polarization arises from the onset of successive nonpolar lattice modes. In this work, measurements and modeling were performed to determine the spatial symmetries of the phases involved in the transitions to these modes. Structural and optical measurements reveal that the tilt and rotation distortions of the MnO6 or TiO6 polyhedra relative to the high symmetry phases driving ferroelectricity in the hybrid improper Ca3X2O7 system (X=Mn and Ti) condense at different temperatures. The tilt angle vanishes abruptly at T$_T$ ~ 400 K for Ca3Mn2O7 (and continuously for X=Ti) and the rotation mode amplitude is suppressed at much higher temperatures T$_R$ ~1060 K. Moreover, Raman measurements in Ca3Mn2O7 under isotropic pressure reveal that the polyhedral tilts can be suppressed by very low pressures (between 1.4 and2.3 GPa) indicating their softness. These results indicate that the Ca3Mn2O7 system provides a new platform for strain engineering of ferroelectric properties in film based systems with substrate induced strain.

Polaris Mine : a case study of reclamation in the high Arctic
Creators: name: Donald, B. J.
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Teck Cominco’s Polaris Mine was the world’s most northerly base metal mine situated in the high arctic of Nunavut. Zinc-lead mineralization was discovered in 1960. Reserves were 25 million tonnes grading 14% zinc and 4% lead. Underground mining commenced in 1981 and continued for 21 years. The mine closed in September 2002 and decommissioning and reclamation started immediately and continued until completion in September 2004. Reclamation of the site was facilitated by favorable geology and climatic conditions. The ore body is hosted in an Ordovician limestone. Samples of representative strata underwent ABA testing confirming there was no potential for acid rock drainage. The site is located in the Northern Arctic Ecozone, an area that incorporates the coldest and driest landscapes in Canada. The permafrost in the area provides an additional mechanism to limit the potential for ML/ARD. Decommissioning and reclamation of the site consisted of building demolition, disposal of metal and hydrocarbon contaminated soils within the permafrost zone, removals of the deep sea marine dock, decommissioning of the tailings facility dam, and recontouring of surface disturbances.
Nation-Empire: Rural Youth Mobilization in Japan, Taiwan, and Korea 1895-1945

History

description: By the turn of the twentieth century, "rural youth" came to symbolize the spirit of hard work, masculinity, and patriotism. The village youth associations, the seinendan, as well as a number of other youth training programs, carried that ideal and spread it all over the Japanese empire. This dissertation examines how the movement to create "rural youth" unfolded in different parts of the empire and how young farmers responded to this mobilization. By examining three rural areas in Miyagi (northern Japan), Xinzhu (Taiwan), and South Ch'ungch'ŏng (Korea), I argue that the social tensions and local dynamics, such as the divisions between urban and rural, the educated and the uneducated, and the young and the old, determined the motivations and emotional drives behind youth participation in the mobilization. To invert the analytical viewpoint from the state to youth themselves, I use the term "Rural Youth Industry." This indicates the social sphere in which agrarian youth transformed themselves from perpetual farmers to success-oriented modern youth, shared an identity as "rural youth" by incorporating imperial and global youth activism, and developed a sense of moral superiority over the urban, the educated, and the old. The social dynamics of the "Rural Youth Industry" explain why many of these youth so internalized the ideology of Japanese nationalism that they volunteered for military service and fought for the empire.
      This dissertation offers a new perspective to the study of modern empires in several respects. It provides a new way to dissect the colonial empire, challenging the methodological trap of emphasizing the present-day national boundaries of Japan, Taiwan, and Korea. It highlights rural modernity, often neglected in the urban-centric historiography of colonial modernity. It also brings together global, regional, and local histories. The seinendan were part of the global waves of imperialism, nation-state building, agrarianism, and the rise of youth. I argue that the spread of the "Rural Youth Industry" most clearly exemplifies a central characteristic of the Japanese empire, which is summarized as its drive to pursue nation-building across its imperial domains, forming a "nation-empire." This dissertation examines the operations of the "nation-empire" at the grassroots level by comparing the social environments of mobilized agrarian youth. Situating the practices of the Japanese empire in these broader contexts as well as the specific local conditions of village societies, this dissertation illuminates the nature of mass mobilization and the shifting relationship between the state and society in the first half of the twentieth century.

description: In this paper we propose a method based on the algebraic Bethe ansatz leading to explicit results for the form factors of quantum spin chains in the thermodynamic limit. Starting from the determinant representations we retrieve in particular the formula for the two-spinon form factors for the isotropic XXX Heisenberg chain obtained initially in the framework of the $q$-vertex operator approach.

description: The multiple-scale perturbation theory, well known for long-waves, is extended to the study of the far-field behaviour of short-waves, commonly called ripples. It is proved that the Benjamin-Bona-Mahony- Peregrine equation can propagates short-waves. This result contradict the Benjamin hypothesis that short-waves tends not to propagate in this model and close a part of the old controversy between Korteweg-de Vries and Benjamin-Bona-Mahony-Peregrine equations. We shown that a nonlinear (quadratic) Klein-Gordon type equation substitutes in a short-wave analysis the ubiquitous Korteweg-de Vries equation of long-wave approach. Moreover the kink solutions of phi-4 and sine-Gordon equations are understood as an all orders asymptotic behaviour of short-waves. It is proved that the antikink solution of phi-4 model which was never obtained perturbatively can be obtained by perturbation expansion in the wave-number k in the short-wave limit.
