description: In the United States of America, no legal sanctions against marijuana existed on the federal level until the U.S. Congress passed the Marihuana Tax Act in 1937. The social origins of this law are, in effect, a mystery. There is a lack of consensus among sociologists and historians, and no clear, concise explanation of how and why marijuana came to be criminalized in the United States. This dissertation attempts to fill that void. In the 1930s, the Federal Bureau of Narcotics (forerunner of today's Drug Enforcement Administration) and the Hearst publishing empire framed marijuana use in the context of a violence-inducing, insanity-producing "assassin of youth." "Reefer," a slang term for a marijuana cigarette, thus came to be associated with "madness.". This dissertation provides its readers with a more comprehensive explanation of the Marihuana Tax Act than heretofore has been available. It examines the Act's passage and its subsequent enforcement in a social context, that of popular culture and historical studies of marijuana use. It develops and puts forth a new theory, the Social Control Hypothesis, of why the Marihuana Tax Act became law. It is unique in its analysis of the role that 1930s-era jazz music and anti-marijuana motion pictures played in relation to the passage and enforcement of the Marihuana Tax Act. The historical analysis is extended to include in-depth examinations of the related, but yet distinct, issues of marijuana's decriminalization, legalization and medicalization. By comparing drug use data in the United States and Holland (the Netherlands), where cannabis use has been decriminalized, this study empirically tests and refutes the "stepping stone hypothesis" (also known as the "gateway theory"), which claims that marijuana leads the user to cocaine and heroin. By examining the anti-marijuana media campaign of the Partnership For A Drug Free America, "The Sociology of Reefer Madness" follows the trail of Reefer Madness to the present day. It is thus demonstrated on two fronts: the medical marijuana issue and anti-marijuana media propaganda, that Reefer Madness is alive and well in the 1990s. Extensive research for "The Sociology of Reefer Madness: the Criminalization of Marijuana in the U.S.A." was conducted at the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. and at the National Archives in Washington, D.C. and Suitland, Maryland.

description: Employing the general BXOR operation and local state discrimination, the mixed state of the form ρ^{(k)}_{d}=\frac{1}{d^{2}}\sum_{m,n=0}^{d-1}(|ϕ_{mn}>\}$ is the canonical set of mutually orthogonal maximally entangled states in $d\times d$. Therefore irreversibility does not occur in the process of distillation for this family of states. Also, the distillable entanglement is calculated explicitly.

description: The viability of our economy and functioning of our society can be enhanced by sharing of available information. To ease replication, foster an attitude of openness, and insure honesty, several social science journals now require access to methods and data underlying reported research. Problems arise when legitimate information needs conflict with values and rules concerning the privacy of individuals. This symposium explored the nature of data access problems and searched for ways to lesson conflict. Young described how the Western Agricultural Economics Association policy on data access has worked and noted unresolved areas of tension. Caudill explained the NASS confidentiality procedures, publication policies, and options for data sharing access. He discussed means of broadening data use including statistical or research enclaves, informed consent of survey respondents, artificial or masked microdata sets, and research fellowships. Duncan discussed progress to date on a major panel study by the Committee on National Statistics concerning confidentiality and data access. He discussed earlier work, outlined goals for the study, and described procedures being used.

description: We present the fourth in a series of catalogs of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) observed with Fermi's Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor (Fermi-GBM). It extends the six year catalog by four more years, now covering the ten year time period from trigger enabling on 2008 July 12 to 2018 July 11. During this time period GBM triggered almost twice a day on transient events of which we identifyied 2356 as cosmic GRBs. Additional trigger events were due to solar are events, magnetar burst activities, and terrestrial gamma-ray flashes. The intention of the GBM GRB catalog series is to provide updated information to the community on the most important observables of the GBM-detected GRBs. For each GRB the location and main characteristics of the prompt emission, the duration, peak flux, and fluence are derived. The latter two quantities are calculated for the 50-300 keV energy band, where the maximum energy release of GRBs in the instrument reference system is observed and also for a broader energy band from 10-1000 keV, exploiting the full energy range of GBM's low-energy detectors. Furthermore, information is given on the settings of the triggering criteria and exceptional operational conditions during years 7 to 10 in the mission. This fourth catalog is an official product of the Fermi-GBM science team, and the data files containing the complete results are available from the High-Energy Astrophysics Science Archive Research Center (HEASARC).

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)

description: Tau lepton decays with open strangeness in the final state are measured with the OPAL detector at LEP to determine the strange hadronic spectral function of the tau lepton. The decays T- ->(Kpi)-nu tau, (Kpipi)-nu tau and (Kpipipi) -nu tau with final states consisting of neutral and charged kaons and pions have been studied. The invariant mass distributions of 93.4% of these final states have been experimentally determined. Monte Carlo simulations have been used for the remaining 6.6% and for the strange final states including eta mesons. The reconstructed strange final states, corrected for resolution effects and detection efficiencies, yield the strange spectral function of the tau lepton. The moments of the spectral function and the ration of strange to non-strange moments, which are important input parameters for theoretical analysis, are determined. Furthermore, the branching fractions B(tau- -> K-pi0nu tau)=(0.471+-0.064stat+_0.022sys)% and B(tau- -> K-pi+pi-nu tau)=(0.415+-0.059stat+-0.031sys)% have been measured.

Robert studied the inviscid limit of the 2D incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in a bounded domain subject to Navier friction-type boundary conditions. They proved that the inviscid limit satisfies the incompressible Euler equations and their result ultimately includes flows generated by bounded initial vorticities. Our purpose in this article is to adapt and, to some extent, simplify their argument in order to include $p$-th power integrable initial vorticities, with $p>2$.

description: In psychiatry, we often speak of constructing "models." Here we try to make sense of what such a claim might mean, starting with the most fundamental question: "What is (and isn't) a model?". We then discuss, in a concrete measurable sense, what it means for a model to be useful. In so doing, we first identify the added value that a computational model can provide, in the context of accuracy and power. We then present the limitations of standard statistical methods and provide suggestions for how we can expand the explanatory power of our analyses by reconceptualizing statistical models as dynamical systems. Finally, we address the problem of model building, suggesting ways in which computational psychiatry can escape the potential for cognitive biases imposed by classical hypothesis-driven research, exploiting deep systems-level information contained within neuroimaging data to advance our understanding of psychiatric neuroscience.

description: Let G be a locally compact abelian group with compact open subgroup H. The best known example of such a group is G=Q_p, the field of p-adic rational numbers (as a group under addition), which has compact open subgroup H=Z_p, the ring of p-adic integers. Classical wavelet theories, which require a non-trivial discrete subgroup for translations, do not apply to G, which may not have such a subgroup. A wavelet theory is developed on G using coset representatives of a quotient of the dual group of G. Wavelet bases are constructed by means of an iterative method giving rise to so-called wavelet sets in the dual group.

Exploiting this insight we have observed independent fluctuations of the coupling strengths as a function of electron number and magnetic field due to changes in the shape of the wave function in the dot. Such a detailed understanding and control of the dot-lead coupling can be extended to more complex systems such as coupled dots, and is essential for building functional quantum electronic systems.

Ungauging Schemes and Coulomb Branches of Non-simply Laced Quiver Theories

description: Three-dimensional Coulomb branches have a prominent role in the study of moduli spaces of supersymmetric gauge theories with $8$ supercharges in $3,4,5$, and $6$ dimensions. Inspired by simply laced $3$d $\mathcal{N}=4$ supersymmetric quiver gauge theories, we consider Coulomb branches constructed from non-simply laced quivers with edge multiplicity $k$ and no flavor nodes. In a computation of the Coulomb branch as the space of dressed monopole operators, a center-of-mass $U(1)$ symmetry needs to be ungauged. Typically, for a simply laced theory, all choices of the ungauged $U(1)$ (i.e. all choices of ungauging schemes) are equivalent and the Coulomb branch is unique. In this note, we study various ungauging schemes and their effect on the resulting Coulomb branch variety. It is shown that, for a non-simply laced quiver, inequivalent ungauging schemes exist which correspond to inequivalent Coulomb branch varieties. Ungauging on any of the long nodes of a non-simply laced quiver yields the same Coulomb branch $\mathcal{C}$. For choices of ungauging the $U(1)$ on a short node of rank higher than $1$, the GNO dual magnetic lattice deforms such that it no longer corresponds to a Lie group, and therefore, the monopole formula yields a non-valid Coulomb branch. However, if the ungauging is performed on a short node of rank $1$, the one-dimensional magnetic lattice is rescaled conformally along its single direction and the corresponding Coulomb branch is an orbifold of the form $\mathcal{C}/\mathbb{Z}_k$. Ungauging schemes of $3$d Coulomb branches provide a particularly interesting and intuitive description of a subset of actions on the nilpotent orbits studied by Kostant and Brylinski arXiv:math/9204227. The ungauging scheme analysis is carried out for minimally unbalanced $C_n$, affine $F_4$, affine $G_2$, and twisted affine $D_4^{(3)}$ quivers, respectively.

Truth and the social construction of knowledge: Logical fallacies in the affirmative action debate
Creators: name: McKenney, Barbara Massey
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Issues of inequality transcend the realm of public policy. Since Socrates, philosophers have sought to describe, explicate, analyze, and rationalize those socio-economic asymmetries which have characterized all known societies. As one reviews various philosophical schools of thought, however, it becomes clear that the issue of inequality has, for the most part, been contexted within the framework of ethics. That is, philosophers have sought to ascertain that which constitutes the just and the good within human relationships. A number of modern philosophers have, however, expanded the nature of societal inequalities beyond the realm of ethics and into the areas of epistemology. More specifically, these philosophers have logically related inequality and the process by which knowledge is "produced" and distributed. More succinctly, such philosophers claim that knowledge is, under conditions of inequality, socially constructed. This study analyzes such a proposition by examining intellectual discourse regarding affirmative action. Preliminary to such an analysis is, of course, a descriptive review of the philosophical thought regarding issues of inequality and knowledge.

description: We show that the transverse-mass and rapidity spectra of protons and pions produced in Au-Au collisions at sqrt(sNN) = 2.4 GeV can be well reproduced in a thermodynamic model assuming single freeze-out of particles from a spherically symmetric hypersurface. This scenario corresponds to a physical picture used by Siemens and Rasmussen in the original formulation of the blast-wave model. Our framework modifies and extends this approach by incorporation of a Hubble-like expansion of QCD matter and inclusion of resonance decays. In particular, the Delta(1232) resonance is taken into account, with a width obtained from the virial expansion. Altogether, our results bring evidence for substantial thermalization of the matter produced in heavy-ion collisions in a few GeV energy regime and its nearly spherical expansion.

Variational Quantum Algorithms for Differential Equations on a Noisy Quantum Computer

description: The role of differential equations (DEs) in science and engineering is of paramount importance, as they provide the mathematical framework for a multitude of natural phenomena. Since quantum computers promise significant advantages over classical computers, quantum algorithms for the solution of DEs have received a lot of attention. Particularly interesting are algorithms that offer advantages in the current noisy intermediate scale quantum (NISQ) era, characterized by small and error-prone systems. We consider a framework of variational quantum algorithms, quantum circuit learning (QCL), in conjunction with derivation methods, in particular the parameter shift rule, to solve DEs. As these algorithms were specifically designed for NISQ computers, we analyze their applicability on NISQ devices by implementing QCL on an IBM quantum computer. Our analysis of QCL without the parameter shift rule shows that we can successfully learn different functions with three-qubit circuits. However, the hardware errors accumulate with increasing number of qubits and thus only a fraction of the qubits available on the current quantum systems can be effectively used. We further show that it is possible to determine derivatives of the learned functions using the parameter shift rule on the IBM hardware. The parameter shift rule results in higher errors which limits its execution to low-order derivatives. Despite these limitations, we solve a first-order DE on the IBM quantum computer. We further explore the advantages of using multiple qubits in QCL by learning different functions simultaneously and demonstrate the solution of a coupled differential equation on a simulator.

Risk and Uncertainty

description: A risk-aversion theory is formulated directly from a preference relation, rather than with a utility function representation. An example concerning insurance demand provides intuitive support. This theory is applied to analyze firms' entry/exit decisions, the long run equilibrium of an industry and comparisons between firms with different risk attitudes .

description: Issues of inequality transcend the realm of public policy. Since Socrates, philosophers have sought to describe, explicate, analyze, and rationalize those socio-economic asymmetries which have characterized all known societies. As one reviews various philosophical schools of thought, however, it becomes clear that the issue of inequality has, for the most part, been contexted within the framework of ethics. That is, philosophers have sought to ascertain that which constitutes the just and the good within human relationships. A number of modern philosophers have, however, expanded the nature of societal inequalities beyond the realm of ethics and into the areas of epistemology. More specifically, these philosophers have logically related inequality and the process by which knowledge is "produced" and distributed. More succinctly, such philosophers claim that knowledge is, under conditions of inequality, socially constructed. This study analyzes such a proposition by examining intellectual discourse regarding affirmative action. Preliminary to such an analysis is, of course, a descriptive review of the philosophical thought regarding issues of inequality and knowledge.
"Crested Butte": Criticizing art and culture
Creators: name: Rasmussen, John Alan
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Contemporary art is the product of culturally significant behavior. How do we interpret this behavior of artists as meaningful? How can its interpretation be used as a source of information about the cultures we share with the artist?; I took one particular case, a painting titled Crested Butte by Lee Haner, and described my own actions as a member of the artist's interpretive community. My methods were adapted from those used in the analysis of text and discourse by practitioners in the fields of Anthropological Linguistics, Linguistic Pragmatics, and the Philosophy of Language. I found interpreters of contemporary art are engaged in reflexive processes of cultural criticism. We construct our interpretations just as we construct our cultures. We examine our own ideas, beliefs, and values and then negotiate with each other, engaging in dialogues that determine what our cultures will be, what we will transmit to future generations and what we will change.

description: The world is four-dimensional according to fundamental physics, governed by basic laws that operate in a spacetime that has no unique division into space and time. Yet our subjective experience is divided into present, past, and future. This paper discusses the origin of this division in terms of simple models of information gathering and utilizing systems (IGUSes). Past, present, and future are not properties of four-dimensional spacetime but notions describing how individual IGUSes process information. Their origin is to be found in how these IGUSes evolved or were constructed. The past, present, and future of an IGUS is consistent with the four-dimensional laws of physics and can be described in four-dimensional terms. The present, for instance, is not a moment of time in the sense of a spacelike surface in spacetime. Rather there is a localized notion of present at each point along an IGUS' world line. The common present of many localized IGUSes is an approximate notion appropriate when they are sufficiently close to each other and have relative velocities much less than that of light. But modes of organization that are different from present, past and future can be imagined that are consistent with the physical laws. We speculate why the present, past, and future organization might be favored by evolution and therefore a cognitive universal.

description: Given two nonsingular real algebraic varieties V and W, we consider the problem of deciding whether a smooth map f: V -> W can be approximated by regular maps in the space of smooth maps from V to W. Our main result is a complete solution to this problem in case W is the usual 2-dimensional sphere and V is a real algebraic surface of negative Kodaira dimension.

description: In this work we consider the QCD parton saturation models to describe soft interactions at the high energy limit. The total and elastic cross sections as well as the elastic slope parameter are obtained for proton-proton and pion-proton collisions and compared to recent experimental results. The analyses are done within the color dipole formalism taking into account saturation models which have been tested against DIS data. The main point is that the match between soft and hard interaction occurs in the saturation region which can be described by high density QCD approaches. Discussion is performed on the main theoretical uncertainties associated with calculations.

Distilling common randomness from bipartite quantum states

description: The problem of converting noisy quantum correlations between two parties into noiseless classical ones using a limited amount of one-way classical communication is addressed. A single-letter formula for the optimal trade-off between the extracted common randomness and classical communication rate is obtained for the special case of classical-quantum correlations. The resulting curve is intimately related to the quantum compression with classical side information trade-off curve $Q^*(R)$ of Hayden, Jozsa and Winter. For a general initial state we obtain a similar result, with a single-letter formula, when we impose a tensor product restriction on the measurements performed by the sender; without this restriction the trade-off is given by the regularization of this function. Of particular interest is a quantity we call ``distillable common randomness'' of a state: the maximum overhead of the common randomness over the one-way classical communication if the latter is unbounded. It is an operational measure of (total) correlation in a quantum state. For classical-quantum correlations it is given by the Holevo mutual information of its associated ensemble, for pure states it is the entropy of entanglement. In general, it is given by an optimization problem over measurements and regularization; for the case of separable states we show that this can be single-letterized.

Momentum distribution of a trapped Fermi gas with large scattering length

description: Using a scattering length parametrization of the BCS-BEC crossover as well as the local density approximation for the density profile, we calculate the momentum distribution of a harmonically trapped atomic Fermi gas at zero temperature. Various interaction regimes are considered, including the BCS phase, the unitarity limit and the molecular regime. We show that the relevant parameter which characterizes the crossover is given by the dimensionless combination $N^{1/6}a/a_{ho}$, where $N$ is the number of atoms, $a$ is the scattering length and $a_{ho}$ is the oscillator length. The width of the momentum distribution is shown to depend in a crucial way on the value and sign of this parameter. Our predictions can be relevant for experiments on ultracold atomic Fermi gases near a Feshbach resonance.
