THE STATE OF RACE: AN EXAMINATION OF RACE & STATE DEVELOPMENT OF PUBLIC POLICY
Creators: name: Everette, Tekisha Dwan
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This study examines the association between race and public policy. Utilizing publicly available data to conduct a secondary analysis, this study specifically examines state policies concerning Medicaid, the State Children's Insurance, reinsurance, high risk pools, and state-only funded programs to determine the role race plays in the development of state health care coverage efforts. Building on the conceptual framework developed by several authors (Hero and Tolbert 1996; Douglas 2005), this study examines whether the level of state policy implementation of widely supported health care coverage expansions vary based on the presence of high uninsured minority populations. It is the author's intention for this study to add to the sociological examination of societal institutions, namely public policy, reinforces a racial hierarchy in society. Furthermore, the intention is to add to the field of policy studies by filling a void in the research regarding race, health care policy, and policymaking. This study comes forth during a pivotal moment in society as the public dialogue around health care reform reached a pinnacle with the passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act passed in 2010 and implementation and continued debate rages on.
title: Untersuchungen zum Ladungsaufbau und pH-Wert in Silicamesoporen
Creators: name: Brilmayer, Robert Anton Paul
Publisher: name: UNSPECIFIED
Year: 2020

description: Das Hauptziel dieser Arbeit ist das Verständnis von Ladungssituationen in nanoskaligen Poren. Auf der Nanoskala können Porengrößen nahe der Debye-Länge liegen, was zu starken Wechselwirkungen zwischen Oberfläche und Molekülen führt. Aus diesem Grund kann der apparente pH-Wert in diesen Dimensionen stark vom einstellbaren Lösungs-pH-Wert abweichen. Der confinement-Effekt spielt eine entscheidende Rolle für die Infiltration in Nanomaterialien und führt oft zu extremeren pH-Bedingungen innerhalb der Mesoporen verglichen zu freier Lösung. Um ein besseres Verständnis über den apparenten pH-Wert in Mesoporen zu erhalten, werden systematische Untersuchungen hinsichtlich der Funktionalisierung und der Ionenstärke auf Transport und pH-Wert durchgeführt. Hierzu werden mesoporöse Silicafilme mit den pH-responsiven Polymeren Poly(2-dimethylamino)ethylmethacrylat (PDMAEMA), Poly(2-Phosphonoxy)ethylmethacrylat (PMEP) und dem PDMAEMA-b-PMEP-Blockcopolymer modifiziert. Diese modifizierten Silicamaterialien werden dann verwendet, um die pH-abhängige Permselektivität zu untersuchen und so indirekt den apparenten pH-Wert mittels Cyclovoltammetrie zu bestimmen. Die Ergebnisse zeigen eine signifikante Verzögerung des Ladungsaufbaus innerhalb der Mesoporen. Als weitere Strategie werden pH-responsive Farbstoffe kovalent an Silicamesoporen angebunden. Die funktionalisierten Silicamesoporen können dann dann verwendet werden, um den Unterschied zwischen dem pH-Wert in Lösung und in verschiedenen funktionalisierten Mesoporen mit optischen Methoden direkt zu bestimmen. Abhängig von der Ionenstärke des Hintergrundelektrolyten kann sich der apparente pH-Wert in Silicamesoporen im Vergleich zur freien Lösung um mehr als eine pH-Einheit unterscheiden.

description: The Penn State/Toruń Centre for Astronomy Search for Planets Around Evolved Stars is a high-precision radial velocity (RV) survey aiming at planets detection around giant stars. It is based on observations obtained with the 9.2 m Hobby-Eberly Telescope. As proper interpretation of high precision RV data for red giants requires complete spectral analysis of targets we perform spectral modeling of all stars included in the survey. Typically, rotation velocities and metallicities are determined in addition to stellar luminosities and temperatures what allows us to estimate stellar ages and masses. Here we present preliminary results of metallicity studies in our sample. We search a metallicity dependence similar to that for dwarfs by comparing our results for a sample of 22 giants earlier than K5 showing significant RV variations with a control sample of 58 relatively RV-stable stars.

description: The S=2 anisotropic triangular lattice alpha-NaMnO2 is studied by neutron inelastic scattering. Antiferromagnetic order occurs at T ~ 45 K with opening of a spin gap. The spectral weight of the magnetic dynamics above the gap (Delta ~ 7.5 meV) has been analysed by the single-mode approximation. Excellent agreement with the experiment is achieved when a dominant exchange interaction (|J|/k_B ~ 73 K), along the monoclinic b-axis and a sizeable easy-axis magnetic anisotropy (|D|/k_B ~ 3 K) are considered. Despite earlier suggestions for two-dimensional spin interactions, the dynamics illustrate strongly coupled antiferromagnetic S=2 chains and cancellation of the interchain exchange due to the lattice topology. alpha-NaMnO2 therefore represents a model system where the geometric frustration is resolved through the lowering of the dimensionality of the spin interactions.

The targum (1969:Nov. 3 - 1969:Nov. 25)
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: Targum Association
Year: 1969

description: Some University historians indicate that the Targum was first published as an annual in 1867, but of this we have no extant evidence. In January 1869, the Targum as we now know it, made its appearance as a monthly paper that concerned itself with student “literary contributions” and college news as well as serving as a vehicle for bringing news to alumni and the general public. The newspaper, which originally was for sale, varied in frequency over the years as did its title (The Targum, Rutgers Targum, Rutgers Daily Targum, and Daily Targum). The newspaper has continuously been published since 1869 with the exception of 19 months during the second world war, between February 1944 and October 1945. The Targum was published by the students of Rutgers College, and later Rutgers University—New Brunswick represented through the years as the Targum Association, Rutgers Targum Association, and Rutgers College Targum. As a student organization, the Targum operated under the oversight of the dean of students and student government but in October 1980, the Targum became an independent college paper.

description: The charge radii of octet-baryons obtained in quenched lattice-QCD calculations are extrapolated within heavy-baryon chiral perturbation theory. Finite-range regularization (FRR) is applied to improve the convergence of the chiral expansion and to provide estimates of quenching artifacts. Lattice values of quark distribution radii and baryon charge radii for $\mpi^2$ in the range (0.1, 0.7)$\gev^2$ are described very well with FRR. Upon estimating corrections for both finite-volume and quenching effects, the obtained charge radii of the proton, neutron and $Σ^-$ are in good agreement with experimental measurements. The predicted charge radii of the remaining octet-baryons have not yet been measured and present a challenge to future experiments.

The psychometrics of Internet addiction and Internet Gaming Disorder: A step towards measurement unification

Health psychology

description: Previous research on gaming addiction and Internet addiction (IA) has relied on inconsistent definitions and theoretical frameworks to define these constructs, and has negatively impacted on their assessment. However, the American Psychiatric Association (APA) included ‘Internet Gaming Disorder’ (IGD) as a tentative disorder in need of further investigation in the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5). Following this preliminary recognition of gaming addiction as potential disorder, unification and standardisation in the field in terms of assessment became possible given that the DSM-5 provided a set of official criteria defining IGD that could be implemented in future research. The research in this thesis substantially contributes to knowledge by (i) systematically reviewing the inconsistencies in the psychometric assessment of IGD and IA, (ii) developing a new potentially unifying standardised psychometric assessment framework for both disorders, and (iii) identifying potential risk factors for IGD and IA. A cross-sectional design was employed across all empirical studies (Study 1, N = 1,003; Study 2, N = 1,060; Study 3, N = 1,105; Study 4, N = 1,100), and the data were analysed using structural equation modelling (i.e., measurement model and latent profile analysis), alongside traditional bivariate statistical modelling. The results indicated that, at a theoretical level, the use of inconsistent assessment tools to investigate IGD and IA has hindered progress in the field. At an empirical level, the Internet Gaming Disorder Test (IGD-20 Test) and the Internet Gaming Disorder Scale–Short-Form (IGDS9-SF) were developed to assess IGD, and the Internet Disorder Scale (IDS-15) and the Internet Disorder Scale–Short Form (IDS9-SF) were developed to assess IA based on the IGD conceptualisation provided by the APA in the DSM-5. Overall, the research in this thesis confirms the usefulness of the utilisation of the IGD framework and the psychometric tools developed as a potential avenue to overcome the shortcomings related to previous heterogeneity issues in the assessment of both IGD and IA.

description: The boundary element method is applied to investigate the optical forces when whispering gallery modes (WGMs) are excited by a total internally reflected wave. Such evanescent wave is particularly effective in exciting the high-$Q$ WGM, while the low angular or high radial order modes are suppressed relatively. This results in a large contrast between the forces on and off resonance, and thus allows for high size-selectivity. We fully incorporate the prism-particle interaction and found that the optical force behaves differently at different separations. Optimal separation is found which corresponds to a compromise between intensity and $Q$ factor.

description: Purpose: The Index of Productive Syntax (IPSyn) is a well-known language sample analysis tool. However, its psychometric properties have not been assessed across a wide sample of typically developing preschool-age children and children with language disorders. We sought to determine the profile of IPSyn scores by age over early childhood. We additionally explored whether the IPSyn could be shortened to fewer items without loss of information and whether the required language sample could be shortened from a current required number of 100 utterances to 50.Method: We used transcripts from the Child Language Data Exchange System, including 1,051 samples of adult–child conversational play with toys within the theoretical framework of item response theory. Samples included those from typically developing children as well as children with hearing loss, Down syndrome, and late language emergence.Results: The Verb Phrase and Sentence Structure subscales showed more stable developmental trajectories over the preschool years and greater differentiation between typical and atypical cohorts than did the Noun Phrase and Question/Negation subscales. A number of current IPSyn scoring items can be dropped without loss of information, and 50-utterance samples demonstrate most of the same psychometric properties of longer samples.Discussion: Our findings suggest ways in which the IPSyn can be automated and streamlined (proposed IPSyn-C) so as to provide useful clinical guidance with fewer items and a shorter required language sample. Reference values for the IPSyn-C are provided. Trajectories for one subscale (Question/Negation) appear inherently unstable and may require structured elicitation. Potential limitations, ramifications, and future directions are discussed.

description: We consider corrections to the unification of down-quark and charged-lepton Yukawa couplings in supersymmetric GUTs, which links the large nu_tau-nu_mu mixing angle to b -> s transitions. These corrections generically occur in simple grand-unified models with small Higgs representations and affect s -> d and b -> d transitions via the mixing of the corresponding right-handed superpartners. On the basis of a specific SUSY-SO(10) model, we analyze the constraints from K-Kbar and B-Bbar mixing on the additional \tilde{d}_R-\tilde{s}_R rotation angle theta. We find that epsilon_K already sets a stringent bound on theta, theta^{max}=O(1 degree), indicating a very specific flavor structure of the correction operators. The impact of the large neutrino mixings on the unitarity triangle analysis is also briefly discussed, as well as their ability to account for the sizeable CP-violating phase observed recently in B_s -> psi phi decays.

Association-free Tracking of Two Closely Spaced Targets
Creators: name: Baum, Marcus
name: Hanebeck, Uwe D.
Publisher: name: Karlsruhe
Year: 2010

description: This paper introduces a new concept for tracking closely spaced targets in Cartesian space based on position measurements corrupted with additive Gaussian noise. The basic idea is to select a special state representation that eliminates the target identity and avoids the explicit evaluation of association probabilities. One major advantage of this approach is that the resulting likelihood function for this special problem is unimodal. Hence, it is especially suitable for closely spaced targets. The resulting estimation problem can be tackled with a standard nonlinear estimator. In this work, we focus on two targets in two-dimensional Cartesian space. The Cartesian coordinates of the targets are represented by means of extreme values, i.e., minima and maxima. Simulation results demonstrate the feasibility of the new approach.
Plane strain creep rupture of a saturated undisturbed clay
Creators: name: Mallawaratchie, Dayalal Pandula
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Undrained constant stress level creep rupture tests have been performed on an undisturbed, normally consolidated under K₀ conditions, sensitive clay in a rectangular (1" x 4" x 2¼" high) plane strain apparatus. The behaviour resulting from total stress paths of increasing δ₁ (keeping δ₃ constant) and decreasing δ₃ (keeping δ₁ constant) was compared. Several undrained creep tests have also been performed in which triaxial specimens were first normally consolidated under K₀ conditions and then loaded by increasing δ₁, as well as decreasing δ₃. The plane strain and triaxial creep rupture test results were compared along with those reported by Snead (1970) . Snead tested the same clay but initially normally consolidated under isotropic stress and axially loaded in the conventional triaxial apparatus. The comparison of creep results under plane strain conditions shows that although the line of minimum strain rate versus time and the axial strain at minimum strain rate are essentially the same for increasing δ₁ and decreasing δ₃ stress paths, the deviator stresses (δ₁ - δ₃) versus minimum strain rates are different. The comparison of test results shows that the discrepancies in the creep rupture behaviour under plane strain and triaxial condition are slight, so long as the clay is initially K₀ consolidated. However, large discrepancies are seen if the triaxial samples are isotropically consolidated. In addition, all of the test data were compared along the lines of available methods for the prediction of slope failure. Of particular interest was the observation that both increasing δ₁ and decreasing δ₃ plane strain give the same prediction of time to slope failure. However the plane strain tests predict much shorter times to failure than do the isotropically consolidated triaxial tests.
Path integral action of a particle in the non commutative plane

description: Non commutative quantum mechanics can be viewed as a quantum system represented in the space of Hilbert-Schmidt operators acting on non commutative configuration space. Taking this as departure point, we formulate a coherent state approach to the path integral representation of the transition amplitude. From this we derive an action for a particle moving in the non commutative plane and in the presence of an arbitrary potential. We find that this action is non local in time. However, this non locality can be removed by introducing an auxilary field, which leads to a second class constrained system that yields the non commutative Heisenberg algebra upon quantization. Using this action the propagator of the free particle and harmonic oscillator are computed explicitly. For the harmonic oscillator this action yields the frequencies already obtained by other means in the literature.
The Junior British Army Officer: Experience and Identity, 1793-1815
Creators: name: Huf, David
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023
Subjects: British history

description: The bulk of British army officers during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars were junior officers, namely officers who held the rank of captain, or lower. Scholarship revealing the intellectual and cultural life of the British army during the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars is expanding; however, junior officers have received little specific scholarly attention. This thesis is the first full-length study of junior army officers, and has ‘identity and experience’ as its central themes. A combination of military and cultural history, this thesis examines British junior officers as products of the military and of Georgian society, and draws on histories of masculinity, family life, and national and political identities to interpret their experiences. This thesis focuses on the lived experiences of junior officers, and interrogates three main types of personal accounts, namely letters, diaries and journals, and memoirs. This group of officers developed a set of sensibilities and perspectives that were bound to their middling status within the army’s hierarchy. Junior officers were imbued with significant authority over the rank and file, yet were subjected to the authority of superior officers. As some of the youngest members of the officer corps, junior officers straddled the lines between the civilian and military spheres, and between youth and adulthood. This thesis argues that the tensions inherent in such a position saw junior officers develop an identity as junior officers, which shaped other aspects of their identity. Junior officers fashioned identities as ‘polite gentlemen’, with the regimental mess inculcating a sense of gentlemanly value. Junior officers displayed careerist and professional ambitions, and hoped for promotion to deliver them from their subordinate position. While the honour culture of the officer corps could conflict with some new officers’ sense of masculinity, junior officers found themselves embroiled in a performative culture of honour, which included fighting duels. Although military service entailed separation from family and friends, junior officers were adept at staying in touch with family members, with some officers contriving to bring their families into the field. These family bonds proved strong enough to outweigh comparatively fluid regimental loyalties. Drawing on their social standing and the language of sensibility, junior officers styled themselves as brave patriarchs, leading from the front and caring for their men. Serving within a truly ‘British’ army, junior officers’ service had the effect of dissolving national differences, while their conceptions of patriotism broadened as the Revolutionary War gave way to war with Napoleon.
Tracking a Minimum Bounding Rectangle based on Extreme Value Theory
Creators: name: Baum, Marcus
name: Hanebeck, Uwe D.
Publisher: name: Karlsruhe
Year: 2010

description: In this paper, a novel Bayesian estimator for the minimum bounding axis-aligned rectangle of a point set based on noisy measurements is derived. Each given measurement stems from an unknown point and is corrupted with additive Gaussian noise. Extreme value theory is applied in order to derive a linear measurement equation for the problem. The new estimator is applied to the problem of group target and extended object tracking. Instead of estimating each single group member or point feature explicitly, the basic idea is to track a summarizing shape, namely the minimum bounding rectangle, of the group. Simulation results demonstrate the feasibility of the estimator.

description: This contribution introduces a three pillar information storage and management system for modeling the environment of autonomous systems. The main characteristics is the separation of prior knowledge, environment model and sensor information. In the center of the system is the environment model, which provides the autonomous system with information about the current state of the environment. It consists of instances with attributes and relations as virtual substitutes of entities (persons and objects) of the real world. Important features are the representation of uncertain information by means of Degree-of-Belief (DoB) distributions, the information exchange between the three pillars as well as creation, deletion and update of instances, attributes and relations in the environment model. In this work, a Bayesian method for fusing new observations to the environment model is introduced. For this purpose, a Bayesian data association method is derived. The main question answered here is the observation-to-instance mapping and the decision mechanisms for creating a new instance or updating already existing instances in the environment model.

description: Specialized intelligent systems can be found everywhere: finger print, handwriting, speech, and face recognition, spam filtering, chess and other game programs, robots, et al. This decade the first presumably complete mathematical theory of artificial intelligence based on universal induction-prediction-decision-action has been proposed. This information-theoretic approach solidifies the foundations of inductive inference and artificial intelligence. Getting the foundations right usually marks a significant progress and maturing of a field. The theory provides a gold standard and guidance for researchers working on intelligent algorithms. The roots of universal induction have been laid exactly half-a-century ago and the roots of universal intelligence exactly one decade ago. So it is timely to take stock of what has been achieved and what remains to be done. Since there are already good recent surveys, I describe the state-of-the-art only in passing and refer the reader to the literature. This article concentrates on the open problems in universal induction and its extension to universal intelligence.

description: The enrollment of engineering graduate students in India is increasing day by day, as the demand for technical jobs is higher than the previous era. Due to high educational workload degree university students suffered a lot of physical and mental stresses throughout the year. The objective of this study was to investigate muscular and cognitive disorders in engineering undergraduates irrespective of engineering branches. A self-reported musculoskeletal questionnaire survey was organized among students (n=72) and segregated yearwise. Students were also participated in a Mental Cognitive assessment test to highlight psychological stress over the years of enrollment. This paper showed that physical stresses of undergraduates (68%) were high enough in respect to other years. The outcome of study highlighted that physical, as well as mental disorders of learners were high in third-year students compared to other years of participants. Due to several socioeconomic factors, new learners were physically exhausted within a period. Over years of studying due to education and search for jobs, mental stresses were dilated. Self‐ efficacy is most strongly influenced by graduate students. While perceived physical problems of undergraduates a counseling session may reduce cognitive stress. The implication and modification of existing coursework on engineering programs may reduce such stresses.

description: In recent years, there has been an increasing drive towards scientific data not only being utilized for the specific context for which it has been created, but that data is findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable beyond, by both humans and machines. This paradigm has been captured and formalized in the FAIR principles. In this paper, we discuss relevance and practical aspects of applying FAIR principles to chemical data in life sciences R&D.
Hidden Quantum Markov Models and non-adaptive read-out of many-body states

description: Stochastic finite-state generators are compressed descriptions of infinite time series. Alternatively, compressed descriptions are given by quantum finite- state generators [K. Wiesner and J. P. Crutchfield, Physica D 237, 1173 (2008)]. These are based on repeated von Neumann measurements on a quantum dynamical system. Here we generalise the quantum finite-state generators by replacing the von Neumann pro jections by stochastic quantum operations. In this way we assure that any time series with a stochastic compressed description has a compressed quantum description. Moreover, we establish a link between our stochastic generators and the sequential readout of many-body states with translationally-invariant matrix product state representations. As an example, we consider the non-adaptive read-out of 1D cluster states. This is shown to be equivalent to a Hidden Quantum Model with two internal states, providing insight on the inherent complexity of the process. Finally, it is proven by example that the quantum description can have a higher degree of compression than the classical stochastic one.

Seasonal and secular variations of sea level with special reference to the Canadian Pacific Coast
Creators: name: Siebenhuener, Hajo Fritz Wilhelm
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: In the first part of this thesis definitions of sea level are given and causes and effects of its seasonal and secular variations are briefly discussed. The second part deals with the numerical determination of these changes on the coast of British Columbia. Using raw tidal data in the form of monthly means of sea level, seasonal variations are determined as annual oscillations with mean amplitudes between 5 and 12 cm for seven stations on the B.C. coast. The investigation of secular variations is based on (raw) annual means of sea level. These variations are essentially represented by linear trends which are statistically significant at the stations VICTORIA, VANCOUVER, POINT ATKINSON and PRINCE RUPERT, where they indicate submergence. Assuming an eustatic rise of sea level at the rate of 1.0 mm/yr, the influence of land movement on submergence is estimated. For VICTORIA, a probable land uplift since 1909 and for VANCOUVER, POINT ATKINSON and PRINCE RUPERT a definite land subsidence since about 1943 is found. The rates of land subsidence range between 1 and 2 mm/yr.
An examination of customer accounting in an Australian context
Creators: name: McManus, L
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania

Subjects: Accounting theory and standards

description: This thesis reports on a study that examined customer accounting (CA) in Australian companies. The broad aims of the thesis are to develop an understanding of the organisational role played by CA practice and the role accounting plays in providing information about a firm's customer base. Three empirical phases have been undertaken in the study. The first phase involved exploratory interviews with accountants and marketers from a number of Australian firms. The second phase comprised an in-depth case study that involved the development of a segmental customer profitability analysis in a major Australian telecommunications company. The third empirical phase involved the administration of a survey questionnaire to chief accountants and marketing managers from a number of large Australian companies. A number of significant findings are reported and include: (1) A level of CA practice has been observed that is reasonably in line with what was anticipated based on the minimal previous academic interest in this area. (2) There appears to be a potential for further CA development in Australian companies. (3) The interview findings identified 'short-term tactical decisions' and 'focus attention on maximising customer value' as the two most important organisational roles CA may play. (4) CA systems were found to provide important information for marketing resource allocation decisions, customer retention decisions, customer service management decisions and customer pricing decisions. (5) The main barriers to CA implementation identified during the segmental CPA case study and exploratory interviews concerned information technology and data acquisition problems. This finding was supported by the results of the survey questionnaire phase of the study where in addition to these two barriers, 'other competing organisational priorities' was rated highly as an impediment to CA system development. (6) Some support was found for the proposed relationships between CA and the contingent factors of company size, customisation, and organisational structure. (7) Limited support was found for the proposed positive association between CA systems and competition intensity and marketing orientation. (8) No support was found for the proposed relationships between perceived environmental uncertainty, organisational strategy, organisational performance and CA systems. (9) Customisation was the only contingent factor found to have a significant impact upon the potential of CA to aid management.

description: Introduction. This paper argues that the gallery walks, a pedagogical technique traditionally used in educational settings, is an effective qualitative data collection strategy. Its interactive format stimulates discussion and ensures active participation, making it suitable for qualitative research. Background. Common qualitative methods like interviews, focus groups, and observations have limitations. The gallery walk technique leverages movement and interaction to deepen understanding, making it an effective tool for comprehensive and inclusive educational engagement. Gallery walk as research method. The gallery walk enhances data collection by balancing individual and group insights, encouraging participants to use their expertise and engage in meaningful discussions. This approach captures detailed information from each participant. Case study. We implemented the gallery walk in a study with 14 experts in satellite image analysis. Over two days, participants engaged with six thematic stations, discussing and annotating posters. The discussions were audio-recorded and transcribed, providing a rich dataset of individual and collective insights. Discussion and Conclusion. Our findings demonstrate the gallery walk's utility as a qualitative research method. Its structured yet flexible format enhances participant engagement and data richness. The gallery walk is particularly effective for studies involving expert participants, offering a comprehensive understanding of research topics.
Flux compactifications, twisted tori and doubled geometry

description: In arXiv:0902.4032 [hep-th] an O(D,D)-covariant sigma model describing the embedding of a closed world-sheet into the 2D-dimensional twisted torus was proposed. Such sigma models provide a universal description of string theory with target spaces related by the action of T-duality. In this article a six-dimensional toy example is studied in detail. Different polarisations of the six-dimensional target space give different three-dimensional string backgrounds including a nilmanifold with H-flux, a T-fold with R-flux and a new class of T-folds. Global issues and connections with the doubled torus formalism are discussed. Finally, the sigma model introduced in arXiv:0902.4032 [hep-th], describing the embedding of a world-sheet into the doubled twisted torus, is generalised to one describing a target space which is a bundle of the doubled twisted torus over a base, allowing for a more complete description of the associated gauged supergravity from the world-sheet perspective to be given.

description: We consider the 2D super Liouville gravity coupled to the minimal superconformal theory. We analyze the physical states in the theory and give the general form of the n-point correlation numbers on the sphere in terms of integrals over the moduli space. The three-point correlation numbers are presented explicitly. For the four-point correlators, we show that the integral over the moduli space reduces to the boundary terms if one of the fields is degenerate. It turns out that special logarithmic fields are relevant for evaluating these boundary terms. We discuss the construction of these fields and study their operator product expansions. This analysis allows evaluating the four-point correlation numbers. The derivation is analogous to the one in the bosonic case and is based on the recently derived higher equations of motion of the super Liouville field theory.
