description: Entry distributions in angular momentum and excitation energy have been measured for several very proton-rich isotopes of Pt and Au. This is the first systematic study of the energy-spin phase space for nuclei near and beyond the proton drip line. Comparisons are made between the distributions associated with proton-unbound Au nuclei and more stable Pt isobars. In 173Au the first evidence is seen for the limits of excitation energy and angular momentum which a nucleus beyond the proton drip line can sustain.

Rights and Resistance: A Comparative Analysis of the Post-Partition Civil Rights Movements in Indian Occupied Kashmir
Creators: name: Shafat, Muskan
Publisher: name: Stanford Digital Repository
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: Kashmir
subject: Civil rights movements

description: Muskan Shafat’s capstone project explores the history and politics surrounding the post-colonial Kashmir civil rights movement and how this has been influenced by continued military occupation. Muskan specifically contrasts the civil rights movement in the 1990s with that in the 2010s, highlight the unique role of digital advocacy in raising awareness of Kashmir globally, eventually leading to increasing global pressure on India and raising awareness about human rights violations in Kashmir. She examines various ways the diaspora can aid this political movement by organizing global protests and holding political representatives accountable to speak up for Kashmir, all the while encouraging activists in Kashmir to document their struggle while relying on media outputs to the wider world. With this analysis, Muskan hopes to highlights the Kashmiri struggle, bringing together voices and narratives of Kashmiri artists, to better understand the role of the international community.

Multi-frequency properties of synthetic blazar radio light curves within the shock-in-jet scenario

description: Blazars are among the most powerful extragalactic objects, as a sub-class of active galactic nuclei. They launch relativistic jets and their emitted radiation shows strong variability across the entire electro-magnetic spectrum. The mechanisms producing the variability are still controversial and different models have been proposed to explain the observed variations in multi-frequency blazar light curves.We investigate the capabilities of the classical shock-in-jet model to explain and reconstruct the observed evolution of flares in the turnover frequency turnover flux density plane and their frequency-dependent light curve parameters. With a detailed parameter space study we provide the framework for future, detailed comparisons of observed flare signatures with the shock-in-jet scenario. Based on the shock model we compute synthetic single-dish light curves at different radio frequencies (2.6 to 345 GHz) and for different physical conditions in a conical jet (e.g. magnetic field geometry and Doppler factor). From those we extract the slopes of the different energy loss stages within the $ν_\mathrm{m}$-$S_\mathrm{m}$ plane and deduce the frequency-dependence of different light curve parameters such as flare amplitude, time scale and cross-band delays. The evolution of the Doppler factor along the jet has the largest influence on the evolution of the flare and on the frequency-dependent light curve parameters. The synchrotron stage can be hidden in the Compton or in the adiabatic stage, depending mainly on the evolution of the Doppler factor, which makes it difficult to detect its signature in observations. In addition, we show that the time lags between different frequencies can be used as an efficient tool to better constrain the physical properties of these objects.

description: The spectra of high-energy γ rays emitted by the Giant Dipole Resonance (GDR) built on moderately excited states associated with the evaporation of 0, 1 and 2 nucleons were measured in the 90Zr + 89Y symmetric fusion reaction. The radiative fusion data suggest statistical emission from the compound nucleus. In addition, the analysis of the high-energy γ-ray spectra associated with the different evaporation channels at the present temperature of 0.7 MeV and spin range 15-20 ℏ show a fairly narrow width of 5.0 ± 0.35 MeV. This value is smaller than what would be expected in a nucleus where shell effects do not play a role.

description: Let $q\in(1,2)$. A $q$-expansion of a number $x$ in $[0,\frac{1}{q-1}]$ is a sequence $(δ_i)_{i=1}^\infty\in\{0,1\}^{\mathbb{N}}$ satisfying $$ x=\sum_{i=1}^\infty\frac{δ_i}{q^i}.$$ Let $\mathcal{B}_{\aleph_0}$ denote the set of $q$ for which there exists $x$ with a countable number of $q$-expansions, and let $\mathcal{B}_{1, \aleph_0}$ denote the set of $q$ for which $1$ has a countable number of $q$-expansions. In \cite{Sidorov6} it was shown that $\min\mathcal{B}_{\aleph_0}=\min\mathcal{B}_{1,\aleph_0}=\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2},$ and in \cite{Baker} it was shown that $\mathcal{B}_{\aleph_0}\cap(\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2}, q_1]=\{ q_1\}$, where $q_1(\approx1.64541)$ is the positive root of $x^6-x^4-x^3-2x^2-x-1=0$. In this paper we show that the second smallest point of $\mathcal{B}_{1,\aleph_0}$ is $q_3(\approx1.68042)$, the positive root of $x^5-x^4-x^3-x+1=0$. Enroute to proving this result we show that $\mathcal{B}_{\aleph_0}\cap(q_1, q_3]=\{ q_2, q_3\}$, where $q_2(\approx1.65462)$ is the positive root of $x^6-2x^4-x^3-1=0$.

description: For her capstone project, Alexandra sought to interrogate the U.S. foreign policy approaches to Southeast Asia and ASEAN countries in particular with the result being a final published piece. The final product was published in the diplomacy section of The Diplomat as a feature article. Against the backdrop of the Biden administration’s current efforts to re-engage with ASEAN, Alexandra assessed the impact of the Ukraine conflict on US strategic commitments and presence in Southeast Asia. She analyzed how the US significantly increased its commitment to NATO amidst a major reorientation in the Indo-Pacific that has already begun, and how ASEAN states remain preoccupied with whether the US has the will to commit over the long term the necessary resources to support the Southeast Asian region and reflect its priorities in the region within its global security strategy. She argues that as doubt permeates the region, US success will rely on a policy approach that doesn’t succumb to reactionary pivots, but rather acknowledges the need for sustained US engagement in Southeast Asia that will be recognized as such by the different ASEAN Member States from each of their national perspectives as well as from the ASEAN point of view.

description: Small-scale magnetic field concentrations (magnetic elements) in the quiet Sun are believed to contribute to the energy budget of the upper layers of the Sun's atmosphere, as they are observed to support a large number of MHD modes. In recent years, kink waves in magnetic elements were observed at different heights in the solar atmosphere, from the photosphere to the corona. However, the propagation of these waves has not been fully evaluated. Our aim is to investigate the propagation of kink waves in small magnetic elements in the solar atmosphere. We analysed spectropolarimetric data of high-quality and long duration of a photospheric quiet Sun region observed near the disk center with the spectropolarimeter CRISP at the Swedish Solar Telescope (SST), and complemented by simultaneous and co-spatial broad-band chromospheric observations of the same region. Our findings reveal a clear upward propagation of kink waves with frequency above $~2.6$ mHz. Moreover, the signature of a non-linear propagation process is also observed. By comparing photospheric to chromospheric power spectra, no signature of an energy dissipation is found at least at the atmospheric heights at which the data analysed originate. This implies that most of the energy carried by the kink waves (within the frequency range under study $< 17$ mHz) flows to upper layers in the Sun's atmosphere.

An Analysis of Shape-Selective Processing in State-of-the-art Recurrent Deep Neural Networks in Object Recognition
Creators: name: Birkholz, Simon
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: Neural Networks have achieved state-of-the-art performance in different task, like object recognition, within the domain of computer vision.
 Despite these successes, questions remain regrading the similarities between neural networks and human visual perception, specifically in terms of feature learning.
 Do they capture local or even global shape information or are they only reliant on texture cues?
 This thesis investigates the shape processing capabilities of different types of recurrent neural networks, including well known cells designs but also new design that where built specifically for the domain of computer vision.
 While we find that most recurrent neural networks are able to capture global shape information in our experimental setup, they do not set themselves apart from a purely feedforward baseline.
 We can also see the effect of those global shape information being discarded in higher levels of the networks.
 We reason that this could be the case due to a domain shift between the trained task and our experiments.
 Other training objectives could result in better results and leverage the global shape information more reliably.

description: We study the thermodynamic properties of the three-dimensional Blume-Capel model on the simple cubic lattice by means of computer simulations. In particular, we implement a parallelized variant of the multicanonical approach and perform simulations by keeping a constant temperature and crossing the phase boundary along the crystal-field axis. We obtain numerical data for several temperatures in both the first- and second-order regime of the model. Finite-size scaling analyses provide us with transition points and the dimensional scaling behavior in the numerically demanding first-order regime, as well as a clear verification of the expected Ising universality in the respective second-order regime. Finally, we discuss the scaling behavior in the vicinity of the tricritical point.

description: Electromagnetic transition probabilities were measured using the recoil distance Doppler-shift technique and the 40Ca(152Sm,4n) 188Pb reaction at a beam energy of 805 MeV to investigate shape coexistence in 188Pb. For the first time, a plunger was combined with Gammasphere and the Argonne Fragment Mass Analyzer. It was possible to measure the lifetimes of two states in the prolate band of 188Pb and, thus, provide for the first time evidence for the collectivity of this band. A three-level mixing calculation revealed that the first 2+ state is predominantly of prolate character.

description: The neutron-deficient nucleus 123La was studied via the 92Mo(40Ca,2ap) reaction at a beam energy of 184 MeV. Previously known bands were extended to a much higher spin, and in two cases the structures are now observed near 40ℏ. In addition, three new sequences were identified and linked into previously known bands. The lowest (π,α)=(+,-1/2) structure displays characteristics similar to those of analogous bands in 127,129La, which have been proposed as examples of smooth band termination. Cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky calculations were compared with the experimental data in 123La to determine whether this band is approaching a terminating state as well.

description: Mn doped GaAs thin films were grown using molecular beam epitaxy at high and low substrate temperatures. The elemental concentration depth profiles in the thin films were determined by using Auger electron spectroscopy combined with ion etching. The Mn concentration is higher near the surface and then decreases with depth for films grown at high substrate temperatures. The Mn concentration profile is much more uniform when films are grown using a low substrate temperature. What was unexpectedly found are high levels of oxygen in the low substrate temperature grown thin films.

Synergistic Laser Wakefield/Direct Laser Acceleration in the Plasma Bubble Regime

description: The concept of a hybrid laser wakefield/direct laser plasma accelerator is proposed. Relativistic electrons undergoing resonant betatron oscillations inside the plasma bubble created by a laser pulse are accelerated by gaining energy directly from the laser pulse and from its plasma wake. The resulting bifurcated phase space of self-injected plasma electrons contains a population that experiences wakefield acceleration beyond the standard one-dimensional limit because of the multi-dimensional nature of its motion that reduces the phase slippage between the electrons and the wake.

A’ole TMT: Environmental Justice and Indigenous Resistance in Hawaiʻi

description: Lilli Carlsen’s capstone project provides a human rights centered analysis on the Aʻole TMT movement led by Kanaka Maoli (Native Hawaiians) in opposition to the construction of the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) on Mauna Kea, the tallest mountain on the big island of Hawaiʻi. Through a multifaceted analysis, Lilli demonstrates how this current struggle touches on a myriad of topics including scientific progress, cultural revitalization, and settler colonialism. Furthermore, she asserts Kanaka Maoli are not protesting TMT, they are protesting the construction of TMT on their sacred mountain and, by doing so, they are continuing a long history of Native Hawaiian resistance to settler colonialism. Lilli hopes to demonstrate the ways in which the A’ole TMT movement connects to the larger Hawaiian sovereignty movement and highlights a unique way that environmental justice can intersect with indigenous rights activism on Hawai’i.

description: We used the UltraViolet-Optical Telescope on board Swift to systematically follow the dynamically new comet C/2013 A1 (Siding Spring) on its approach to the Sun. The comet was observed from a heliocentric distance of 4.5 AU pre-perihelion to its perihelion at 1.4 AU. From our observations, we estimate that the water production rate during closest approach to Mars was 1.5 +/- 0.3 x 1E28 molecules/s, that peak gas delivery rates were between 4.5-8.8 kg/s, and that in total between 3.1-5.4 x 1E4 kg cometary gas was delivered to the planet. Seasonal and evolutionary effects on the nucleus govern the pre-perihelion activity of comet Siding Spring. The sudden increase of its water production between 2.46-2.06 AU suggests the onset of the sublimation of icy grains in the coma, likely driven by CO2. As the comet got closer to the Sun, the relative contribution of the nucleus' water production increased, while CO2 production rates decreased. The changes in the comet's activity can be explained by a depletion of CO2, but the comet's high mass loss rate suggests they may also reflect primordial heterogeneities in the nucleus.

description: In the first part of this thesis we show that, for a given non-arithmetic closed hyperbolic $n$ manifold $M$, there exist for each positive integer $j$, a set $M_1,...,M_j$ of pairwise nonisometric, strongly isospectral, finite covers of $M$, and such that for each $i,i'$ one has isomorphisms of cohomology groups $H^*(M_i,\Zbb)=H^*(M_{i'},\Zbb)$ which are compatible with respect to the natural maps induced by the cover. In the second part, we prove that hyperbolic $2$- and $3$-manifolds which arise from principal congruence subgroups of a maixmal order in a quaternion algebra having type number $1$ are absolutely spectrally rigid. One consequence of this is a partial answer to an outstanding question of Alan Reid, concerning the spectral rigidity of Hurwitz surfaces.

description: We study the behaviour of the density contrast in quasi-spherical Szekeres spacetime and derive its analytical behaviour as a function of $t$ and $r$. We set up the inhomogeneity using initial data in the form of one extreme value of the density and the radial profile. We derive conditions for density extremes that are necessary for avoiding the shell crossing singularity and show that in the special case of a trivial curvature function, the conditions are preserved by evolution. We also show that in this special case if the initial inhomogeneity is small, the time evolution does not influence the density contrast, however its magnitude homogeneously decreases.

description: Electrical manipulation of lattice, charge, and spin has been realized respectively by the piezoelectric effect, field-effect transistor, and electric field control of ferromagnetism, bringing about dramatic promotions both in fundamental research and industrial production. However, it is generally accepted that the orbital of materials are impossible to be altered once they have been made. Here we use electric-field to dynamically tune the electronic phase transition in (La,Sr)MnO3 films with different Mn^4+/(Mn^3+ + Mn^4+) ratios. The orbital occupancy and corresponding magnetic anisotropy of these thin films are manipulated by gate voltage in a reversible and quantitative manner. Positive gate voltage increases the proportion of occupancy of the orbital and magnetic anisotropy that were initially favored by strain (irrespective of tensile and compressive), while negative gate voltage reduces the concomitant preferential orbital occupancy and magnetic anisotropy. Besides its fundamental significance in orbital physics, our findings might advance the process towards practical oxide-electronics based on orbital.

Subjects: Livestock, Production, Consumption, Employment, GHG Emission

description: Abstract: India has a vast geographical area covered by a considerable population. The country is rich in resources while the population is diverse in language, religion, caste, taste and preference. Livestock production and consumption have both negative and positive aspects. Thus, the objective is to study recent trends and development in the livestock sector to understand the balance between the benefits and the losses of this sector. Secondary data from various government sources has been compiled for analysis. Simple descriptive statistics and tabulations have been used for analysis. The results show that the total livestock increases tremendously during 1951-2019. The largest population is cattle though the goat population grew faster than any other livestock. At the same time, the poultry population increased almost ten times. The growth in the livestock population is volatile. Even though the GVA of agriculture & allied is greater than the GVA of livestock, the percentage share of GVA from livestock is increasing, and the percentage share of GVA from agriculture & allied is falling. The amount of output from the livestock sector at the current price has increased for all the listed items during 2011-2019.

description: The spectroscopy properties and angular momentum geometry for the wobbling motion of a simple triaxial rotor are investigated within the triaxial rotor model up to spin $I=40\hbar$. The obtained exact solutions of energy spectra and reduced quadrupole transition probabilities are compared to the approximate analytic solutions by harmonic approximation formula and Holstein-Primakoff formula. It is found that the low lying wobbling bands can be well described by the analytic formulas. The evolution of the angular momentum geometry as well as the $K$-distribution with respect to the rotation and the wobbling phonon excitation are studied in detail. It is demonstrated that with the increasing of wobbling phonon number, the triaxial rotor changes its wobbling motions along the axis with the largest moment of inertia to the axis with the smallest moment of inertia. In this process, a specific evolutionary track that can be used to depict the motion of a triaxial rotating nuclei is proposed.

description: Throughout the nineteenth century, British colonial officials in Malaya confronted the problem of having to develop a remote territory that was resource-rich but political factious and capital- and labor-deficient. To achieve their political and economic objectives, British administrators embarked on a developmentalist agenda based on the toleration, if not outright promotion, of large-scale Chinese immigration. Chinese were depicted in contemporary public and private intellectual discourse as a race uniquely suited to labor in the modern capitalist economy, but, having been simultaneously identified as a potential source of social unrest, one that required careful management. Although scholars have argued that Western conceptions of race were in large part the product of British colonial rule, this thesis applies the conceptual framework of racial capitalism to the specific context of empire to show that racialized epistemologies, centered on the overseas Chinese, were also foundational to the expansion of British influence over the Malay Peninsula beginning in 1870s. British Malaya and its overseas Chinese communities thus constituted an important historical site where the intersection of race, capitalism, and imperialism was demonstrated.

description: Superdeformed bands in 88Mo, 89Tc, and 91Tc were populated using a 40Ca beam with an energy of 185 MeV, impinging on a backed 58Ni target, γ rays and charged particles emitted in the reactions were detected using the Gammasphere Ge detector array and the CsI(Tl) array Microball. Average transition quadrupole moments Qt, with significantly improved accuracy compared to earlier work, were deduced for the bands using the residual doppler shift technique. The experimental results were included into a systematic study of the Q t values throughout the superdeformed mass 80-90 region. The superdeformed shell gaps are predicted to move towards larger deformations with increasing Z and N in this mass region. This trend is confirmed by the experimental Qt values.

description: This study represents an attempt to trace changes in materials and methods in elementary algebra throughout a period of one hundred years, beginning in 1829. The use of textbooks for primary source material is based upon the assumption that the textbooks of any period constitute the best index of the practices of that period. The changes noted in materials and methods will be those resulting from refinement of subject matter, also those brought about by the influence of the psychology of learning and teaching

description: The vehicle industry has an endless appetite to get better. Often, this appetite is justified by the need of the hour. In the agricultural space, this translates to improving agricultural productivity in the face of population growth, reduced arable land and shortage of skilled farm labor. As for torsional vibrations, which have been around ever since the wheel was invented, the problem gets redefined with new regulations demanding new powertrains with improved fuel efficiency and reduced emissions.A solution to the agriculture problem, involves efficiently automating the harvesting process.The first section of this thesis covers the ‘Auto-Unload’ where the goal of automation is achieved. This was done by building a simulation framework that was used to develop and synthesize the ‘AutoUnload’ controller. This controller was later deployed on a combine and a successful unloading on-the-go was demonstrated with a combine, tractor, and tractor-driven grain cart.The solution to the second problem about drivetrain vibrations involved deriving a mathematical model for simulating the powertrain of a medium-duty truck. This was done to confirm resonance seen during testing done on a chassis dynamometer. The consequent control strategy to mitigate undesired vibration was to move the torque excitation away from the natural frequency of the system. This was achieved by a ‘gear-shifting’ algorithm. Comparison between on-road tests with and without the ‘gear-shifting’ algorithm showed that such a control strategy can effectively eliminate resonance. The solution methodology developed in this work is robust and transferable to higher engine torques and harvest speeds.

description: Mathematics success in high school is critically important for individual students and for the state. It provides skills and post-secondary opportunities that support a robust workforce. A recent report by the Greater Texas Foundation1 found that completing higher mathematics predicted post-secondary benefits, while noting persistent social background disparities in completion. These patterns highlight the need to promote more advanced, and more equitable, mathematics coursework. Designing and evaluating policies to improve ultimate mathematics outcomes requires first understanding the ways that students arrive at their destination. The sequential design of most mathematics courses shape how students can advance during school, leading to specific pathways through mathematics curricula. The shape of these pathways create critical moments of opportunity and lasting consequences. As the state shifts from a “one size fits all” model of high school curricula, it is important to isolate critical junctures students will face as they proceed through school. This brief maps students’ progress through mathematics courses in the state, highlighting particularly consequential moments of transition. It asks: 1. Where are the key branching points as students progress through coursework in mathematics? 2. At what branching points are social background disparities most pronounced? 3. How are divergent course branches related to the transition to post-secondary school?

description: We generalize Buchert's averaged equations [Gen. Rel. Grav. 32, 105 (2000); Gen. Rel. Grav. 33, 1381 (2001)] to LRS class II dust model in the sense that all Einstein equations are averaged, not only the trace part. We derive the relevant averaged equations and we investigate backreaction on expansion and shear scalars in an approximate LTB model. Finally we propose a way to close the system of averaged equations.

description: In the American K-12 educational system, school transitions are frequent and predictable—typically occurring when students enter kindergarten and when they move from elementary to middle school and again from middle to high school. Although quite normative in nature, school transitions can disrupt student functioning across developmental domains (Benner, 201; Simmons & Blyth, 1987). Although we know much about the short- and long-term implications for the transition to formal K-12 schooling and the transition into middle school, how the transition to high school influences the immediate and long-term educational prospects of American students is relatively unknown and is the focus of the current study. Specifically, I sought to determine whether the high school transition influences students’ educational engagement (as assessed by attendance), which students are most at risk for experiencing transition difficulties as they move from 8th to 9th grade, in what types of schools are students doing best, and how success or challenges across the high school transition affects students’ educational trajectories across high school and their early educational attainment. The state of Texas has recognized the challenge of the transition to high school for some time. In 2000, the state passed and the Texas Education Agency implemented the Ninth Grade Success Initiative (NGSI). At that time, policymakers and educators saw that the state’s ninth grade students were struggling academically, wherein a much higher percentage of students were retained in ninth grade compared to other grade levels (17% of ninth grade students retained in grade in 2000; TEA, Lee, Roska, Shen, & Lynch, 2002). Through NGSI and its larger successor, the Student Success Initiative, retention rates in ninth grade have dropped, yet despite these supports, in 2013-14, the most recent year that the Texas Education Agency provided retention data, 9% of ninth grade students were retained in grade, almost double that of every other grade level (K-12; TEA, Division of Research and Analysis, 2016). These data suggest that Texas continues to have a ninth grade problem, and it is for this reason that the current study focuses specifically on the high school transition experiences of Texas students.

description: The transition quadrupole moments Qt for the superdeformed band in 40Ca have been determined through thin-target Doppler-shift attenuation analyses. A best-fit value of Qt = 1.30 ± 0.05 e b is obtained when a single value is assumed for the entire band. Fitting separate quadrupole moments for in-band transitions decaying from the high-spin states and the presumably admixed low-spin states results in Qt(high) = 1.81-0.26+0.41 e b and Qt(low) = 1.18-0.05+0.06 respectively, Qt values extracted for individual transitions in a Doppler-broadened line-shape analysis also indicate smaller Qt values at lower spins. These results are consistent with the interpretation of this band as an eight-particle-eight-hole superdeformed band with a significant admixture of less-collective configurations at low spins.

description: Enhancing science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education has been a national priority for maintaining a competitive edge in global economy (National Academy of Sciences, 2007; White House, 2011). At the K-12 level, STEM-focused schools are often viewed as the best approach to improve STEM education (National Research Council, 2011). In 2010, a report by the President’s Council of Advisors in Science and Technology called for the establishment of 1,000 more STEM-focused schools within the next decade. Inclusive STEM high schools (ISHSs), which combine nonselective admission policies with a STEM-emphasized curriculum and college-going culture, represent an emerging STEM-focused school model that has been rapidly expanding across the country. In 2006, Texas launched the Texas STEM (T-STEM) initiative, the largest investment in ISHSs in the nation, and opened the first seven T-STEM Academies. The number of T-STEM Academies has increased exponentially, reaching 55 in 2011 and 121 in 2016.
