description: In this work, we investigate off-shell supersymmetric string configurations in Euclidean Ad$\mathbb{S}_5\times \mathbb{S}^5$ background. By extending the Green-Schwarz supersymmetric equations using the pure spinor formalism, we demonstrate that while the solutions to the Green-Schwarz equations are necessarily minimal surfaces, the solutions to the extended equations form infinite-dimensional families, even with fixed boundary conditions, thus preventing direct derivations of exact results via supersymmetric localization. For concreteness, we have selected a supercharge that localizes the off-shell supersymmetric configurations to an Ad$\mathbb{S}_4 \times \mathbb{S}^2$ slice and observed that the corresponding action functional reduces to an integral of a two-form.

description: It is commonly observed that elementary and secondary teachers often work in isolation and that providing opportunities for teachers to work together helps improve student outcomes. But it can be difficult to find time for teacher collaboration, whether in professional learning communities, grade-level teams, or other collaborative groups. Given the extensive role of collective bargaining agreements in governing teachers’ hours and working conditions, this study explores the role of collective bargaining in creating time for teacher collaboration. Using legal and content analyses, the study examines scope-of-bargaining statutes in each state to determine the extent to which district and union leaders are required to bargain over teacher time. It also uses the content-analysis methodology to review how collective bargaining agreements from thirty-one of the nation’s largest school districts restrict or promote teacher time for collaboration. The study concludes that collective bargaining plays a considerable role in teacher collaboration time. Not only do most states have statutes that require stakeholders to bargain to create opportunities for collaboration time, the resulting collective bargaining agreements directly and indirectly affect time for collaboration. These findings establish that in almost all states where collective bargaining is required, school officials and teachers cannot advance teacher collaboration without the assistance of collective bargaining. Moreover, success in creating collaboration time depends largely on how the collective bargaining agreements restrict or promote that time. In light of these findings, the study recommends that local leaders and state policymakers take steps to promote teacher collaboration through collective bargaining by (1) prioritizing and reducing teacher workload; (2) removing teacher duty-hour limits; (3) expanding noninstructional time, including through additional teacher-collaboration set-asides; and (4) involving school leadership in determining how noninstructional time is used.

description: Model sets (also called cut and project sets) are generalizations of lattices. Here we show how the self-similarities of model sets are a natural replacement for the group of translations of a lattice. This leads us to the concept of averaging operators and invariant densities on model sets. We prove that invariant densities exist and that they produce absolutely continuous invariant measures in internal space. We study the invariant densities and their relationships to diffraction, continuous refinement operators, and Hutchinson measures.

description: Grape phylloxera (Daktulosphaira vitifoliae Fitch, Hemiptera: Phylloxeridae) is a worldwide pest of the viticulture industry due to damage caused to the root system of the European grapevine, Vitis vinifera L. (Vitaceae). The main management option for radicicolae grape phylloxera is the use of resistant rootstocks, however due to the success of this management option a range of questions relating to the biology, nutrition and feeding behaviour of the pest insect remain unanswered. This thesis addressed a number of these questions in order to extend the current knowledge of the biological characteristics of grape phylloxera and the possible influences on host-plant responses...

description: A constant homogeneous magnetic field is applied to a composite system made of two scalar particles with opposite charges. Motion is described by a pair of coupled Klein-Gordon equations that are written in closed form with help of a suitable representation. The relativistic symmetry associated with the magnetic field is carefully respected. Considering eigenstates of the pseudo momentum four-vector, we separate out collective variables and obtain a 3- dimensional reduced equation, posing a nonconventional eigenvalue problem. The velocity of the system as a whole generates "motional" terms in the formulas these terms are taken into account within a manifestly covariant framework.

description: The fatwa (pl. fatawa) or non-binding legal opinion is an important institution in Islamic thought. In relation to the shari‘ah (the body of Islamic law), fatwa has been the agent for relating the teaching of shari‘ah to 'the concrete world of human affairs' (Masud, Brinkley, and Messick, 1996:3). It is a medium to understand social change (Hooker, 2003) and a source of Islamic legal and social history (Powers, 1990) of Muslim community. For this reason, fatwa, along with qada’ (Islamic court’s decision) institution, is an important agent of Shari'ah application. In Islamic legal scholarship (fiqh), as some have argues (Schacht, 1964: 74-5 and Hallaq, 1994:), fatwa has been instrumental in the development of furu‘ al-fiqh (theoretical aspect of substantive law) as well as usul al-fiqh (legal methodology of Islamic law) in Islam. The mufti can be seen as the agent of legal change as well (Hallaq, 2001:174). Many fatawa of prominent muftis (jurist-consult) are incorporated into the substantive law of certain madhhab (school of law) and many muftis are prominent jurist-authors affiliated to schools of law (Hallaq, 1994:30-1, and 2001:). Therefore, the interplay between fatwa, fiqh and madhhab is inherent to the theoretical aspect of shari’ah and its practical application...

description: We show that quantum gravity yields exponentially growing gravitational waves. Without a mechanism to stop these modes from growing, the universe would go through a gravitational collapse. For Minkowski background, we propose a solution by choosing an integration contour in Fourier space that does not enclose the problematic modes, thus preventing them from showing up in the effective theory. It turns out that this is only possible when the modes are removed altogether. For an expanding universe, we argue that the runaway modes can be managed accordingly to the dynamics of the Hubble constant, leading to important implications for astrophysics.

description: The gravitational deflection of light signals restricted in the polar-axis plane of a moving Kerr-Newman (KN) black hole with a constant velocity along the polar axis is studied within the second post-Minkowskian (PM) approximation. For this purpose, the Lorentz boosting technique is adopted to obtain the exact metric of a moving KN black hole with an arbitrary constant velocity in Kerr-Schild coordinates for the first time. Based on the weak field limit of the exact metric, we then derive the equations of motion of test particles constrained in the polar-axis plane of a moving KN source whose velocity is along the polar axis and collinear with its angular momentum. An iterative technique is utilized subsequently in the calculations of the null deflection angle up to the 2PM order caused by the moving lens, and this deflection angle is found to be spin-independent. Finally, we discuss the influence of the motion of the lens on the gravitational deflection and estimate the possibility to detect this kinematical effect. Our work might be helpful for future astronomical observations.

description: The Ugly Architecture community (in the Czech language Ošklivá architektura), united around theFacebook group Ošklivá architektura, celebrated five years of its existence this year. During thattime, thousands of posts related to post-war architecture appeared in it. The group was founded atthe beginning of 2018 by Jan Lochman as a reaction to the intention to demolish the Transgascomplex in Prague. The community aims to promote the architecture of this period by involving thegeneral public in its discovery and appreciation. In practice, it looks like the members of the grouptake photos of interesting post-war buildings, upload the photos to the group, and discuss them.That's why the name Ugly was also chosen. The goal was not to bring together a group ofenthusiasts for this architectural period (for them, of course, this architecture is beautiful), but tocreate a discussion platform for everyone – that is, for those who consider this architecture to beworthless, ugly or communist and support its demolition.

description: The role of cryptocurrencies within the financial systems has been expanding rapidly in recent years among investors and institutions. It is therefore crucial to investigate the phenomena and develop statistical methods able to capture their interrelationships, the links with other global systems, and, at the same time, the serial heterogeneity. For these reasons, this paper introduces hidden Markov regression models for jointly estimating quantiles and expectiles of cryptocurrency returns using regime-switching copulas. The proposed approach allows us to focus on extreme returns and describe their temporal evolution by introducing time-dependent coefficients evolving according to a latent Markov chain. Moreover to model their time-varying dependence structure, we consider elliptical copula functions defined by state-specific parameters. Maximum likelihood estimates are obtained via an Expectation-Maximization algorithm. The empirical analysis investigates the relationship between daily returns of five cryptocurrencies and major world market indices.

description: To avoid complex constraints of the traditional nonlinear method for tethered space robot (TSR) deployment, this paper proposes a data-driven optimal control framework with an improved deep learning based Koopman operator that could be applied to complex environments. In consideration of TSR's nonlinearity, its finite dimensional lifted representation is derived with the state-dependent only embedding functions in the Koopman framework. A deep learning approach is adopted to approximate the global linear representation of TSR. Deep neural networks (DNN) are developed to parameterize Koopman operator and its embedding functions. An auxiliary neural network is developed to encode the nonlinear control term of finite dimensional lifted system. In addition, the state matrix A and control matrix B of lifted linear system in the embedding space are also estimated during training DNN. Then three loss functions that related to reconstruction and prediction ability of network and controllability of lifted linear system are designed for training the entire network. With the global linear system produced from DNN, Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) is applied to derive the optimal control policy for the TSR deployment. Finally, simulation results verify the effectiveness of proposed framework and show that it could deploy tethered space robot more quickly with less swing of in-plane angle.

description: This thesis demonstrates that agent-based modelling offers a viable compatriot to traditional experimental methodologies for criminology scholars, that can be applied to explore the divide between micro-level criminological theory and macro-level observations of crime; and in turn, aid in the assessment of those theories which aim to describe the crime event. The following overarching research question is addressed: Are the micro-level mechanisms of the opportunity theories generatively sufficient to explain macroscopic patterns commonly observed in the empirical study of crime? Drawing on the approach of generative social science (Epstein, 1999), this thesis presents a systematic assessment of the generative sufficiency of three distinct mechanisms of offender movement, target selection and learning derived from the routine activity approach (Cohen & Felson, 1979), rational choice perspective (Clarke, 1980; Cornish & Clarke, 1986) and crime pattern theory (Brantingham & Brantingham, 1978, 1981). An agent-based model of offending is presented, in which an artificial landscape is inhabited by both potential victims and offenders who behave according to several of the key propositions of the routine activity approach, rational choice perspective and crime pattern theory. Following a computational laboratory-based approach, for each hypothetical mechanism studied, control and experimental behaviours are developed to represent the absence or presence of a proposed mechanism within the virtual population.
Underdetermination in Classic and Modern Tests of General Relativity

description: Canonically, `classic' tests of general relativity (GR) include perihelion precession, the bending of light around stars, and gravitational redshift; `modern' tests have to do with, inter alia, relativistic time delay, equivalence principle tests, gravitational lensing, strong field gravity, and gravitational waves. The orthodoxy is that both classic and modern tests of GR afford experimental confirmation of that theory in particular. In this article, we question this orthodoxy, by showing there are classes of both relativistic theories (with spatiotemporal geometrical properties different from those of GR) and non-relativistic theories (in which the lightcones of a relativistic spacetime are `widened') which would also pass such tests. Thus, (a) issues of underdetermination in the context of GR loom much larger than one might have thought, and (b) given this, one has to think more carefully about what exactly such tests in fact are testing.

Measurement of the jet mass in high transverse momentum $Z(\rightarrow b\overline{b})γ$ production at $\sqrt{s}= 13$ TeV using the ATLAS detector

description: The integrated fiducial cross-section and unfolded differential jet mass spectrum of high transverse momentum $Z\rightarrow b\overline{b}$ decays are measured in $Zγ$ events in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV. The data analysed were collected between 2015 and 2016 with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 36.1 fb$^{-1}$. Photons are required to have a transverse momentum $p_{\mathrm{T}}>175$ GeV. The $Z\rightarrow b\overline{b}$ decay is reconstructed using a jet with $p_{\mathrm{T}} > 200$ GeV, found with the anti-$k_{t}$ $R = 1.0$ jet algorithm, and groomed to remove soft and wide-angle radiation and to mitigate contributions from the underlying event and additional proton-proton collisions. Two different but related measurements are performed using two jet grooming definitions for reconstructing the $Z\rightarrow b\overline{b}$ decay: trimming and soft drop. These algorithms differ in their experimental and phenomenological implications regarding jet mass reconstruction and theoretical precision. To identify $Z$ bosons, $b$-tagged $R = 0.2$ track-jets matched to the groomed large-$R$ calorimeter jet are used as a proxy for the $b$-quarks. The signal yield is determined from fits of background templates extracted from the data to the different jet mass distributions for the two grooming methods. Integrated fiducial cross-sections and unfolded jet mass spectra for each grooming method are compared with leading-order theoretical predictions. The results are found to be in good agreement with Standard Model expectations within the current statistical and systematic uncertainties.

description: Accumulating evidence suggests that non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) play key roles in gene regulation and may form the basis of an inter-gene communication system. MicroRNAs are a class of small non-coding RNAs found in both plants and animals that regulate the expression of other genes. Identification and analysis of microRNAs enhances our understanding of the important roles that microRNAs play in this complex regulatory network. The work presented in this thesis constitutes the first large-scale prediction and characterization of both ncRNAs and miRNAs in the model legume Medicago truncatula and Lotus japonicus, and provides a basis for further research on elucidating ncRNA function in legume genomics...

description: We give new arguments that improve the known upper bounds on the maximal number N_q(g) of rational points of a curve of genus g over a finite field F_q for a number of pairs (q,g). Given a pair (q,g) and an integer N, we determine the possible zeta functions of genus-g curves over F_q with N points, and then deduce properties of the curves from their zeta functions. In many cases we can show that a genus-g curve over F_q with N points must have a low-degree map to another curve over F_q, and often this is enough to give us a contradiction. In particular, we able to provide eight previously unknown values of N_q(g), namely: N_4(5) = 17, N_4(10) = 27, N_8(9) = 45, N_{16}(4) = 45, N_{128}(4) = 215, N_3(6) = 14, N_9(10) = 54, and N_{27}(4) = 64. Our arguments also allow us to give a non-computer-intensive proof of the recent result of Savitt that there are no genus-4 curves over F_8 having exactly 27 rational points. Furthermore, we show that there is an infinite sequence of q's such that for every g with 0 < g < log_2 q, the difference between the Weil-Serre bound on N_q(g) and the actual value of N_q(g) is at least g/2.

description: We present rigorous results for several variants of the Hubbard model in the strong-coupling regime. We establish a mathematically controlled perturbation expansion which shows how previously proposed effective interactions are, in fact, leading-order terms of well defined (volume-independent) unitarily equivalent interactions. In addition, in the very asymmetric (Falicov-Kimball) regime, we are able to apply recently developed phase-diagram technology (quantum Pirogov-Sinai theory) to conclude that the zero-temperature phase diagrams obtained for the leading classical part remain valid, except for thin excluded regions and small deformations, for the full-fledged quantum interaction at zero or small temperature. Moreover, the phase diagram is stable upon the addition of arbitrary, but sufficiently small, further quantum terms that do not break the ground-states symmetries. This generalizes and unifies a number of previous results on the subject; in particular published results on the zero-temperature phase diagram of the Falikov-Kimball model (with and without magnetic flux) are extended to small temperatures and/or small ionic hopping. We give explicit expressions for the first few orders, in the hopping amplitude, of these equivalent interactions, and we describe the resulting phase diagram. Our approach, however, yields algorithms to compute arbitrary high orders.

description: A theoretical model for studying pattern formation in electroconvection is proposed in the form of a modified Swift-Hohenberg equation. A localized state is found in two dimension, in agreement with the experimentally observed ``worm" state. The corresponding one dimensional model is also studied, and a novel stationary localized state due to nonadiabatic effect is found. The existence of the 1D localized state is shown to be responsible for the formation of the two dimensional ``worm" state in our model.

description: This is a study of the early work of the American artist Louise Lawler and her collaborators, including Christopher D’Arcangelo, Sherrie Levine, and Jenny Holzer. It centers on the New York art world between 1978 and 1983—a moment hailed as the end of avant-gardism and the birth of postmodernism—and examines the legacy and transformation of conceptual art and institutional critique by a new generation of artists during this period. Lawler’s practice is analyzed in relation to her Pictures Generation peers, so named for their affiliation with the non-profit space Artists Space (which mounted the influential exhibition "Pictures," curated by Douglas Crimp, in 1977) and the commercial gallery Metro Pictures, founded in 1980. The work of Pictures artists is united by its appropriation of images and texts that were culled from everyday life and modified through photographic strategies such as cropping, captioning, and juxtaposition. These artists, many of them women, developed a critique of representation—in Gayatri Spivak’s words, of "standing-for" and "speaking-for"—located at the crossroads of feminism and postmodernism. Though Lawler’s practice was understood as institutional critique at the moment of its emergence, she has since been historicized as a Pictures artist. This study understands her as a double agent who deliberately operates between and across spheres usually kept separate. In so doing, she refigures the practice of critique as a subtle form of maneuvering that I, following the artist, term finesse. The key contribution of Lawler’s work is a new understanding of power, informed by the politics of identity and difference, which accounts for the crucial importance of subjectivity and positioning in the act of critique.

description: Massive Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars dominate the radiative and mechanical energy budget of galaxies and probe a critical phase in the evolution of massive stars prior to core-collapse. It is not known whether core He-burning WR stars (classical WR, cWR) form predominantly through wind-stripping (w-WR) or binary stripping (b-WR). With spectroscopy of WR binaries so-far largely avoided due to its complexity, our study focuses on the 44 WR binaries / binary candidates of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC, metallicity Z~0.5 Zsun), identified on the basis of radial velocity variations, composite spectra, or high X-ray luminosities. Relying on a diverse spectroscopic database, we aim to derive the physical and orbital parameters of our targets, confronting evolution models of evolved massive stars at sub-solar metallicity, and constraining the impact of binary interaction in forming them. Spectroscopy is performed using the Potsdam Wolf-Rayet (PoWR) code and cross-correlation techniques. Disentanglement is performed using the code Spectangular or the shift-and-add algorithm. Evolutionary status is interpreted using the Binary Population and Spectral Synthesis (BPASS) code, exploring binary interaction and chemically-homogeneous evolution. No obvious dichotomy in the locations of apparently-single and binary WN stars on the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram is apparent. According to commonly used stellar evolution models (BPASS, Geneva), most apparently-single WN stars could not have formed as single stars, implying that they were stripped by an undetected companion. Otherwise, it must follow that pre-WR mass-loss/mixing (e.g., during the red supergiant phase) are strongly underestimated in standard stellar evolution models.

description: The primary postulation of this thesis is that preservation of built-cultural heritage is being affected by certain factors that have led to the present situation in India. By analyzing the relationship between preservation and development analyzed in the three case studies in different parts of India, this thesis seeks to gain an enhanced understanding of the link between people and integrated development. Simultaneously, an attempt will be made to interpret the definition of success in the case of a preservation effort and the various factors that affect it.

description: Fire resistance design and analysis is an under-studied and under-codified area of bridge engineering. With the lessening of conservatism in bridge design, the aging or our bridge infrastructure, and the increase in the ground transport of highly-flammable and -combustible materials, it is essential that the bridge engineering community better understand and incorporate methods for modeling the effects of fire on bridges. Typical fire resistance analysis looks at the response of individual structural components. Analysis for the component of a bridge is nowhere more important than for that of the main cables of suspension bridges. As such, we will survey and introduce the necessary analysis techniques to provide the bridge engineering community with the knowledge and tools to understand fire modeling and both rapidly and accurately assess their effects on suspension bridge main cables.
      The work of this dissertation is twofold. In the first portion, we address proper fire modeling techniques for bridge conditions and apply them in a sequential thermal-mechanical analysis of a three-dimensional model main cable with thermally-dependent material and mechanical properties. Although fire modeling has been addressed in a variety of scenarios, including extensive studies for building design and analysis as well as tunnel design and analysis, the types of fires, fire geometries, and air conditions associated with bridge fires vary drastically. Our work identifies the time to failure for our particular main cable example and subsequently compares both the temperature and strain distributions for temperature-dependent and temperature-independent models.
      Although the three-dimensional analysis is complete, we hope to emulate and expand on the work done in the building fire engineering community and bring to the literature methods to produce significant two-dimensional temperature distributions for when a main cable component is either partially or fully-exposed to fire. As such, the main fire modeling analyses mentioned in the previous paragraph lay the groundwork for our pursuit of closed-form analytical solutions necessary to rapidly and accurately assess the time-dependent temperature distribution within a cable cross-section exposed to fire. These solutions are formed with different approaches depending on the fire scenario in question. They include a separation of variables (eigenfunction) approach, sinusoidal transforms, Laplace transforms, Green's function solutions, and a semi-analytical hybrid method. We validate each of the approaches numerically using three different fire models.

description: Cosmological hydrodynamical simulations provide valuable insights on galaxy evolution when coupled with observational data. Comparisons with real galaxies are typically performed via scaling relations of the observables. Here we follow an alternative approach based on the spectral covariance in a model-independent way. We build upon previous work by Sharbaf et al. that studied the covariance of high quality SDSS continuum-subtracted spectra in a relatively narrow range of velocity dispersion ($σ\in [100,150]$\,km\,s$^{-1}$). Here the same analysis is applied to synthetic data from the EAGLE and Illustris TNG100 simulations, to assess the ability of these runs to mimic real galaxies. The real and simulated spectra are consistent regarding spectral covariance, although with subtle differences that can inform the implementation of subgrid physics. Spectral fitting done a posteriori on stacks segregated with respect to latent space reveals that the first principal component (PC1) is predominantly influenced by the stellar age distribution, with an underlying age-metallicity degeneracy. Good agreement is found regarding star formation prescriptions but there is disagreement with AGN feedback, that also affects the subset of quiescent galaxies. We show a substantial difference in the implementation of the AGN subgrid prescriptions, regarding central black hole seeding, that could lead to the mismatch. Differences are manifest between these two simulations in the star formation histories stacked with respect to latent space. We emphasise that this methodology only relies on the spectral covariance to assess whether simulations provide a true representation of galaxy formation.

description: Axions/axion-like particles (ALPs) are a well motivated extension of the Standard Model and are generic within String Theory. The X-ray transparency of the intracluster medium (ICM) in galaxy clusters is a powerful probe of light ALPs (with mass $<10^{-11}\,{\rm eV}$); as X-ray photons from an embedded or background source propagate through the magnetized ICM, they may undergo energy-dependent quantum mechanical conversion into ALPs (and vice versa), imprinting distortions on the X-ray spectrum. We present Chandra data for the active galactic nucleus NGC1275 at the center of the Perseus cluster. Employing a 490ks High-Energy Transmission Gratings (HETG) exposure, we obtain a high-quality 1-9keV spectrum free from photon pileup and ICM contamination. Apart from iron-band features, the spectrum is described by a power-law continuum, with any spectral distortions at the $<3\%$ level. We compute photon survival probabilities as a function of ALP mass $m_a$ and ALP-photon coupling constant $g_{aγ}$ for an ensemble of ICM magnetic field models, and then use the NGC1275 spectrum to constraint the $(m_a, g_{aγ})$-plane. Marginalizing over magnetic field realizations, the 99.7% credible region limits the ALP-photon coupling to $g_{aγ}<6-8\times 10^{-13}\, {\rm GeV}^{-1}$ (depending upon magnetic field model) for masses $m_a<1\times 10^{-12}\,{\rm eV}$. These are the most stringent limit to date on $g_{aγ}$ for these light ALPs, and have already reached the sensitivity limits of next-generation helioscopes and light-shining-through-wall experiments. We highlight the potential of these studies with the next-generation X-ray observatories Athena and Lynx, but note the critical importance of advances in relative calibration of these future X-ray spectrometers.

description: The process of spotting whereby burning firebrands are transported by convection and wind to ignite new fires ahead of the source fire is significant both economically and in terms of exposure of fire crews to dangerous situations. Spotting behaviour recorded in Australia is the worst in the world in terms of spotfire distance and concentration and this has been attributed to features of eucalypt bark types. This thesis is the first comprehensive firebrand investigation of any bark. It briefly examines selected firebrand characteristics of Eucalyptus diversicolor, E. marginata and E. bicostata and examines in detail the aerodynamic and combustion characteristics and fuel bed ignition potential of Eucalyptus obliqua...
