title: Mend the gap: visual writerly strategies, the missing piece of reader engagement in comics
Creators: name: Poharec, Lauranne
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2022

description: How do comics engage readers? Scholars argue that comics readers become invested in the story by using their imagination to fill in narrative gaps created by the gutter spaces that mark missing visual details in between panels. Theories of the gap, however, do not approach gaps as images that like other ambiguous images create instances of narrative uncertainty that prompt the interpretative input of readers. Inspired by Roland Barthes’s distinction between the readerly and the writerly, this thesis proposes that to reach a plausible, coherent comics narrative, readers either 1) adopt visual readerly strategies to decode conventional images (including the gap), or they 2) employ visual writerly strategies to creatively interpret unconventional, indeterminate images and reach a plausible meaning through inference. In the latter case, the narrative input of readers is extensive and necessary for the narrative to cohere. Several scholars have examined how comics guide readers to decode their conventional visual language. By contrast, little work has been done in relation to the increasingly common use of indeterminate images that demand the writerly input of readers. This thesis addresses this gap in scholarship, adopting a narratological approach to study how unconventional images in nine comics activate the engagement of readers so that the narrative coheres. Because readers enter stories primarily through the thoughts and feelings of characters and narrators, this thesis focuses on the indeterminate visual representation of characters’ or narrators’ minds. Specifically, this thesis demonstrates how: 1) the visual doubling, joining, or blending of cues of minds encourage readers to writerly perceive at once the intramental and the intermental thinking of characters (Chapter One); 2) in the absence of cues of mind, spatial cues enable readers to writerly characterize characters with unreadable minds (Chapter Two); 3) the altering of documents function as focalization cues that prompt readers to writerly respond to the manipulative, confused or ambivalent mind of the narrator who compiled them (Chapter Three). In all instances, the indeterminacy of images and the writerly engagement they trigger draw readers into the storyworld and into the minds of its agents, thus uniquely investing readers as co-creators of the comics narrative.

description: This thesis deals with two topics in Industrial Organization: The first one is the issue of product differentiation, whereas the second one analyzes the impact of deregulation of shopping hours in retail industries. These two subjects are treated in two separate parts. Part 1 deals with product differentiation and covers three chapters. The first chapter in this part, extends the Salop model by introducing a general purpose product, that is, a product that is suited for all purposes alike. The second chapter lifts the assumption of inelastic demand which is usually assumed in spatial models of product differentiation. We introduce price- dependent demand and analyze the impact on the excess entry theorem. The third chapter in this part integrates the issue of multi-products firms into a spatial model of product differentiation. We state conditions about variety in the segment of high-quality products in contrast to the variety level in the low-quality segment. Part 2 of the thesis deals with competition over shopping hours in retail industries. In the public and political debate, this topic is controversial. Though there has been a substantial trend towards deregulation in recent years, shopping hours are still regulated in many European countries. In Germany, shopping hours have been liberalized recently. However, the issue whether shopping hours should be further deregulated is still controversial. We treat this issue in two chapters, each chapter focusing on a different aspect of deregulation of shopping hours: The first chapter is concerned with competition over shopping hours when entry into the industry is endogenous. The second chapter of this part analyzes the unequal impact of a deregulation on retailers of different sizes, namely we study competition between a large retail chain and a small corner shop.

description: Our ability to interpret and glean useful information from the large body of observations of strongly magnetised neutron stars rests largely on our theoretical understanding of magnetic field equilibria. We answer the following question: is one free to arbitrarily prescribe magnetic equilibria such that fluid degrees of freedom can balance the equilibrium equations? We examine this question for various models for neutron star matter; from the simplest single-fluid barotrope to more realistic non-barotropic multifluid models with superfluid/superconducting components, muons and entropy. We do this for both axi- and non-axisymmetric equilibria, and in Newtonian gravity and general relativity. We show that, in axisymmetry, the most realistic model allows complete freedom in choosing a magnetic field equilibrium whereas non-axisymmetric equilibria are never completely arbitrary.

description: One of the key requirements for Grid infrastructures is the ability to share resources with nontrivial qualities of service. However, resource management in a decentralized infrastructure is a complex task as it has to cope with di erent policies and objectives of the di erent resource providers and the resource users. This problem is further complicated due to the diversity of the resource types and the heterogeneity of their local resource management systems. Agreement-based resource management can be used to address these issues because in the negotiation process of creating such bilateral service level agreements (SLAs) between Grid parties, the di erent polices of the resource providers and the users will be abstracted and observed. Such negotiation processes should be automated with no or minimal human interaction, considering the potential scale of Grid systems and the amount of necessary transactions. Therefore, strategic negotiation models play important roles. In this thesis, we have made several novel research contributions which are as follows: - An agreement based resource management approach is analyzed. Requirements for the automatic negotiation problems in Grid computing are introduced. Furthermore, related work in the areas of economics and agent communities are investigated. - Several negotiation models and negotiation strategies are proposed and examined. Simulation results demonstrate that these proposed negotiation models are suitable and e ective for Grid environments. - Firstly, a strategic negotiation model using time-based negotiation strategies is proposed and evaluated using discrete event based simulation techniques. - Secondly, time-based negotiation strategies are quite limited in the dynamically changing Grid environment because they are quite simple and static; so learning based negotiation strategies are investigated and evaluated, which are quite exible and e ective in the dynamically changing Grid environment. Also we adopted negotiation strategies considering opportunistic functions for Grid scheduling. - Thirdly, it is usually necessary that resources from di erent resource providers are co-allocated to satisfy the complex requirements of the users, so a strategic negotiation model supporting co-allocation and the tradeo between "first" and "best" agreements in the Grid computing is also proposed and evaluated. - Finally, the contributions of the current research work to the WSNegotiation protocol are analyzed.

description: Since the chemical abundances of stars are the fossil records of the physical conditions in galaxies, they provide the key information for recovering the assembly history of galaxies. In this work, we explore the chemo-chrono-kinematics of accreted and in-situ stars, by analyzing six M31/MW analogues from the HESTIA suite of cosmological hydrodynamics zoom-in simulations of the Local Group. We found that the merger debris are chemically distinct from the survived dwarf galaxies. The mergers debris have abundances expected for stars originating from dwarfs that had their star formation activity quenched at early times. Accreted stellar haloes, including individual debris, reveal abundance gradients in the ELz, where the most metal-rich stars have formed in the inner parts of the disrupted systems before the merger and mainly contribute to the central regions of the hosts. Therefore, we suggest that abundance measurements in the inner MW will allow constraining better the parameters of building blocks of the MW stellar halo. The MDFs of the individual debris show several peaks and the majority of debris have lower metallicity than the in-situ stars for Lz>0, while non-rotating and retrograde accreted stars are similar to the in-situ. Prograde accreted stars show a prominent knee in the [Fe/H]-[Mg/Fe] plane while the retrograde stars typically deposit to a high-[Mg/Fe] sequence. We found that the metal-poor stars ([Fe/H]<-1) of the HESTIA galaxies exhibit between zero to 80 km/s net rotation which is consistent with the Aurora population. At higher metallicities, we detect a sharp transition (spin-up) from the turbulent phase to a disk-like rotation. Mergers debris are similar in the [Fe/H]-[Mg/Fe] plane. However, combining a set of abundances allows to capture chemical patterns corresponding to different debris, which are the most prominent as a function of stellar age.

description: Prompted by the recent discovery of pulsed emission from an ultra-luminous X-ray source, M82 X-2 ("ULX-pulsar"), we perform a two-dimensional radiation-hydrodynamic simulation of a super-critical accretion flow onto a neutron star through a narrow accretion column. We set an accretion column with a cone shape filled with tenuous gas with density of $10^{-4} {\rm g}~ {\rm cm}^{-3}$ above a neutron star and solve the two dimensional gas motion and radiative transfer within the column. The side boundaries are set such that radiation can freely escape, while gas cannot. Since the initial gas layer is not in a hydrostatic balance, the column gas falls onto the neutron-star surface, thereby a shock being generated. As a result, the accretion column is composed of two regions: an upper, nearly free-fall region and a lower settling region, as was noted by Basko \& Sunyaev (1976). The average accretion rate is very high; ${\dot M}\sim 10^{2-3} L_{\rm E}/c^2$ (with $L_{\rm E}$ being the Eddington luminosity), and so radiation energy dominates over gas internal energy entirely within the column. Despite the high accretion rate, the radiation flux in the laboratory frame is kept barely below $L_{\rm E}/(4πr^2)$ at a distance $r$ in the settling region so that matter can slowly accrete. This adjustment is made possible, since large amount of photons produced via dissipation of kinetic energy of matter can escape through the side boundaries. The total luminosity can greatly exceed $L_{\rm E}$ by several orders of magnitude, whereas the apparent luminosity observed from the top of the column is much less. Due to such highly anisotropic radiation fields, observed flux should exhibit periodic variations with the rotation period, provided that the rotation and magnetic axes are misaligned.

description: Outcome of patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome admitted to Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia Kassahun Bogale Addis Ababa University, 2017 Worldwide, coronary artery disease (CAD) is the single most frequent cause of death. Over seven million people every year die from CAD, accounting for 12.8% of all deaths. The objective of this study was to assess the treatment outcome and associated factors for Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) patients admitted at Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital (TASH). A retrospective cross sectional study was conducted by chart review of patients who were discharged with a diagnosis of ACS during the period January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2014. Of 124 ACS patients who were admitted during the three years period, 90(72.6%) were diagnosed as STEMI. The mean age was 56.3 ±13.7 years. The average length of hospital stay was 9.77± 6.42 days. The average time from onset of ACS symptoms to presentation in the emergency department was 3.8 days (91.7 hours). In about 76 (61.3%) patients hypertension was the leading risk factor for development of ACS. 36.4% of ACS patients in TASH were either Killip class III or IV. Biomarkers were measured for 118(95.2%) patients. 79.2% of patients had ejection fraction (EF) of less than 40% and 29.2% had less than 30%. In-hospital medications include loading dose of aspirin (79%), anti-coagulants (77.4%), beta-blockers (88.1%), statins (85.5%), morphine (12.9%), and nitrates (35.5%). The in-hospital mortality was 27.4%. Predictors of inhospital mortality in TASH included age (P=0.042), time from symptom onset to presentation (P=0.001), previous history of hypertension (P=0.025), being Killip class III and IV (P=0.001), and STEMI diagnosis (P=0.005). Hence, based on the results the medical management of ACS patients in TASH was in line with the recommendations of international guidelines but inhospital mortality was very high (27.4%).

description: Nach einem langwierigen Planungszeitraum, der beispielsweise durch die Auswahl eines geeigneten Standortes, die zukünftige Form der Betriebsführung oder zuletzt noch durch die zu klärenden formaljuristischen Voraussetzungen vor dem Bundesverwaltungsgericht immer wieder Beiträge für die journalistische Aufbereitung in der Öffentlichkeit geliefert hat, konnte im September 2006, 16 Jahre nach der Deutschen Einheit und mehr als 14 Jahre nach Aufnahme der Planungen für einen neuen Berliner Großflughafen, mit den Arbeiten am Ausbau des Flughafens Schönefeld zum Flughafen Berlin Brandenburg International begonnen werden. Im Oktober 2011 soll die Inbetriebnahme erfolgen. Dass BBI nicht den höchstrangigen Stellenwert, den seit Jahrzehnten der Frankfurter Flughafen innehat, einnehmen wird, ist längst unstrittig. Damit sind jedoch die Fragen zu beantworten, welche Position dem Flughafen innerhalb des vorhandenen Systems zukommt und wie dieses System der Flughäfen in der Bundesrepublik durch den neuen (ausgebauten) Flughafen beeinflusst wird. Zunächst erfolgt daher eine Analyse des bestehenden Gesamtsystems, wozu eine Betrachtung seiner historischen Entwicklung, der unterschiedlichen Größe und Ausstattung der Einzugsbereiche, der funktionalen Aufteilung und der Bedeutung von Flughäfen für die Entwicklung von Metropolregionen gehört. Beispielsweise wird eine Klassifizierung über die Quantität und die Exklusivität von angebotenen Zielen und Verbindungen angefertigt und der Zusammenhang von Flughäfen und Metropolregionen geschildert. Vor dem Hintergrund des erfassten Gesamtsystems wird nachfolgend der Flughafen BBI näher betrachtet. Eine wesentliche Rolle spielen dabei vier Beurteilungskriterien, mit deren Hilfe der Standort Schönefeld, die wirtschaftlichen Rahmenbedingungen des Luftverkehrs, die besonderen Betriebsformen wie Charter- und Low-Cost-Verkehr sowie die auf Kurzstrecken, das heißt nationalen Relationen, bestehende Konkurrenz durch alternative Verkehrsträger charakterisiert werden. Die Aussagekraft der erzielten Ergebnisse für BBI wird erhöht durch einen Abgleich mit weiteren Kennwerten ausgewählter anderer Flughäfen, insbesondere der vier Flughäfen Düsseldorf, Frankfurt am Main, Hamburg und München. Eine Szenariobetrachtung rundet die Aussagen über die zukünftige Entwicklung von BBI ab. Zwei gegenläufige Szenarien, ausgehend von einer regressiven bzw. progressiven gesellschaftspolitischen Haltung, stellen Ansätze dar, die sich auch auf die Rahmenbedingungen des Luftverkehrs und damit auf die Standorte der Flughäfen auswirken. Damit werden abschließend mögliche Folgewirkungen für BBI erörtert.

description: To mitigate climate change, the share of renewable energies in power production needs to be increased. Renewables introduce new challenges to power grids regarding the dynamic stability due to decentralization, reduced inertia, and volatility in production. Since dynamic stability simulations are intractable and exceedingly expensive for large grids, graph neural networks (GNNs) are a promising method to reduce the computational effort of analyzing the dynamic stability of power grids. As a testbed for GNN models, we generate new, large datasets of dynamic stability of synthetic power grids, and provide them as an open-source resource to the research community. We find that GNNs are surprisingly effective at predicting the highly non-linear targets from topological information only. For the first time, performance that is suitable for practical use cases is achieved. Furthermore, we demonstrate the ability of these models to accurately identify particular vulnerable nodes in power grids, so-called troublemakers. Last, we find that GNNs trained on small grids generate accurate predictions on a large synthetic model of the Texan power grid, which illustrates the potential for real-world applications.

description: Sudden singularities occur in FRW spacetimes when the scale factor remains finite and different from zero while some of its derivatives diverge. After proper rescaling, the scale factor close to such a singularity at $t=0$ takes the form $a(t)=1+ c |t|^η$ (where $c$ and $η$ are parameters and $η\geq 0$). We investigate analytically and numerically the geodesics of free and gravitationally bound particles through such sudden singularities. We find that even though free particle geodesics go through sudden singularities for all $η\geq 0$, bound systems get dissociated for a wide range of the parameter $c$. For $η<1$ bound particles receive a diverging impulse at the singularity and get dissociated for all positive values of the parameter $c$. For $η> 1$ (Sudden Future Singularities (SFS)) bound systems get a finite impulse that depends on the value of $c$ and get dissociated for values of $c$ larger than a critical value $c_{cr}(η,ω_0)>0$ that increases with the value of $η$ and the rescaled angular velocity $ω_0$ of the bound system. We obtain an approximate equation for the analytical estimate of $c_{cr}(η,ω_0)$. We also obtain its accurate form by numerical derivation of the bound system orbits through the singularities.

description: Background: Every institution which provides food for a large group of consumers has the responsibility to keep the safety and wholesomeness of food otherwise it will result outbreaks of food borne illness. The most identified contributing factors of food borne illness in mass catering establishments were cross contamination, dirty work environment and poor personal hygiene practice by food handlers Objective: The objective of this study was assessment of the sanitary conditions of catering establishments and food safety knowledge and practices of food handlers in Addis Ababa University students' cafeterias Methods: A cross-sectional study complemented with qualitative method was conducted from January, 2013 to May, 2013. A total of 12 student catering establishments from 7 campuses were studied for sanitary condition of premises and a total of 302 food handlers were assessed for knowledge and practice status. For data collection questionnaires and appropriate checklists were used. Bacteriological examination was made from all catering premises following appropriate standard procedures. The data was entered by using EPI INFO version 3.5.1 and cleaned before transferring to SPSS version 16 statistical packages which was used for data management and analysis. Results: Majority, 212(70.2%), of food handlers were females and their median age were 29. Among the 302 subjects, 197 (65.2%) of them had food hygiene training. All, 302 (100%), of food handlers were literate and 283 (93.7%) of them had adequate knowledge of food borne diseases. Twelve of premises had a clean wall and ceiling in their kitchen and dining rooms. Similarly all premises had openable window, adequate light and adequate ventilation. E. coli were not identified at all and in 1 (2.8%) of swabbed utensils S. aureus were identified. Overall practice scores revealed that 52.3% of food handlers had a poor food handling practice. Conclusion and recommendation: This study revealed that the repair and sanitary conditions of premises were in a good condition. Nearly half of food handlers had a poor food handling practice. According to the swab result the dish washing activity was effective. Provision of training and basic sanitary facilities by management is recommended as improvement measure.

description: We show that the quantification of entanglement of any rank-2 state with any polynomial entanglement measure can be recast as a geometric problem on the corresponding Bloch sphere. This approach provides novel insight into the properties of entanglement and allows us to relate different polynomial measures to each other, simplifying their quantification. In particular, unveiling and exploiting the geometric structure of the concurrence for two qubits, we show that the convex roof of any polynomial measure of entanglement can be quantified exactly for all rank-2 states of an arbitrary number of qubits which have only one or two unentangled states in their range. We give explicit examples by quantifying the three-tangle exactly for several representative classes of three-qubit states. We further show how our methods can be used to obtain analytical results for entanglement of more complex states if one can exploit symmetries in their geometric representation.

description: We have developed a novel two-layer anti-reflection (AR) coating method for large-diameter infrared (IR) filters made of alumina, for the use at cryogenic temperatures in millimeter wave measurements. Thermally- sprayed mullite and polyimide foam (Skybond Foam) are used as the AR material. An advantage of the Skybond Foam is that the index of refraction is chosen between 1.1 and 1.7 by changing the filling factor. Combination with mullite is suitable for wide-band millimeter wave measurements with sufficient IR cutoff capability. We present the material properties, fabrication of a large-diameter IR filter made of alumina with this AR coating method, and characterizations at cryogenic temperatures. This technology can be applied to a low-temperature receiver system with a large-diameter focal plane for next-generation cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization measurements, such as POLARBEAR-2 (PB-2).

description: We constrain the role of different SN Ia channels in the chemical enrichment of the Galaxy by studying the abundances of nickel in Galactic stars. We investigate four different SN Ia sub-classes, including the classical single-degenerate near-Chandrasekhar mass SN Ia, the fainter SN Iax systems associated with He accretion from the companion, as well as two sub-Ch mass SN Ia channels. The latter include the double-detonation of a white dwarf accreting helium-rich matter and violent white dwarf mergers. NLTE models of Fe and Ni are used in the abundance analysis. In the GCE models, we include new delay time distributions arising from the different SN Ia channels, as well as recent yields for core-collapse supernovae and AGB stars. The data-model comparison is performed using a Markov chain Monte Carlo framework that allows us to explore the entire parameter space allowed by the diversity of explosion mechanisms and the Galactic SN Ia rate, taking into account the uncertainties of the observed data. We show that NLTE effects have a non-negligible impact on the observed [Ni/Fe] ratios in the Galactic stars. The NLTE corrections to Ni abundances are not large, but strictly positive, lifting the [Ni/Fe] ratios by ~+0.15 dex at [Fe/H] =-2. We find that that the distributions of [Ni/Fe] in LTE and in NLTE are very tight, with a scatter of < 0.1 dex at all metallicities, supporting earlier work. In LTE, most stars have scaled-solar Ni abundances, [Ni/Fe] = 0, with a slight tendency for sub-solar [Ni/Fe] ratios at lower [Fe/H]. In NLTE, however, we find a mild anti-correlation between [Ni/Fe] and metallicity, and a slightly elevated [Ni/Fe] ratios at [Fe/H] < -1.0. The NLTE data can be explained by the GCE models calculated with a substantial, ~ 75%, fraction of sub-Ch SN Ia.

In this record linkage of hospital and community based study, exposure variables of birth weight and birth length were obtained from the hospital data base. Prenatal expopures, categor i zed as socio- demographic and obstetric risk factors were obtained by interviewer administered questionnaire to mothers, along with the current health and nutritional status of the children . The study revealed significant higher risks in LBW children for current morbidity of 2.02 ( 1.1, 3.7) and frequent illness of 6.0 (2.3, 15 .9). Comparison of nutritional status showed 65% of the LBW and 46% 0+ NBW children to be malnour ished with a re lative risk of 2.2 (1.24 - 1.36). It is concluded that LBW are at increased risk for morbidity and malnutr l tion in early childhood.

description: We present a necessary and sufficient condition to falsify whether a Hawking radiation spectrum indicates unitary emission process or not from the perspective of information theory. With this condition, we show the precise values of Bekenstein-Hawking entropies for Schwarzschild black holes and Reissner-Nordström black holes can be calculated by counting the microstates of their Hawking radiations. In particular, for the extremal Reissner-Nordström black hole, its number of microstate and the corresponding entropy we obtain are found to be consistent with the string theory results. Our finding helps to refute the dispute about the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy of extremal black holes in the semiclassical limit.

description: We prove several dimension formulas for spaces of scalar-valued Siegel modular forms of degree $2$ with respect to certain congruence subgroups of level $4$. In case of cusp forms, all modular forms considered originate from cuspidal automorphic representations of $\mathrm{GSp}(4,\mathbb{A})$ whose local component at $p=2$ admits non-zero fixed vectors under the principal congruence subgroup of level $2$. Using known dimension formulas combined with dimensions of spaces of fixed vectors in local representations at $p=2$, we obtain formulas for the number of relevant automorphic representations. These in turn lead to new dimension formulas, in particular for Siegel modular forms with respect to the Klingen congruence subgroup of level $4$.

description: The inverse Ising problem and its generalizations to Potts and continuous spin models have recently attracted much attention thanks to their successful applications in the statistical modeling of biological data. In the standard setting, the parameters of an Ising model (couplings and fields) are inferred using a sample of equilibrium configurations drawn from the Boltzmann distribution. However, in the context of biological applications, quantitative information for a limited number of microscopic spins configurations has recently become available. In this paper, we extend the usual setting of the inverse Ising model by developing an integrative approach combining the equilibrium sample with (possibly noisy) measurements of the energy performed for a number of arbitrary configurations. Using simulated data, we show that our integrative approach outperforms standard inference based only on the equilibrium sample or the energy measurements, including error correction of noisy energy measurements. As a biological proof-of-concept application, we show that mutational fitness landscapes in proteins can be better described when combining evolutionary sequence data with complementary structural information about mutant sequences.

description: Motivated by recent experimental progress in studying weak decays of the $Λ_c$ baryon we investigate its semileptonic decays in the framework of the relativistic quark model based on the quasipotential approach with the QCD-motivated potential. The form factors of the $Λ_c\to Λlν_l$ and $Λ_c\to nlν_l$ decays are calculated in the whole accessible kinematical region without extrapolations and additional model assumptions. Relativistic effects are systematically taken into account including transformations of baryon wave functions from the rest to moving reference frame and contributions of the intermediate negative-energy states. Baryon wave functions found in the previous mass spectrum calculations are used for the numerical evaluation. Comprehensive predictions for decay rates, asymmetries and polarization parameters are given. They agree well with available experimental data.

description: There are multiple conjectures relating the cohomological Hall algebras (CoHAs) of certain substacks of the moduli stack of representations of a quiver $Q$ to the Yangian $Y^{Q}_{MO}$ by Maulik-Okounkov, whose construction is based on the notion of stable envelopes of Nakajima varieties. In this article, we introduce the cohomological Hall algebra of the moduli stack of framed representations of a quiver $Q$ (framed CoHA) and we show that the equivariant cohomology of the disjoint union of the Nakajima varieties $\mathcal{M}_Q(\text{v},\text{w})$ for all dimension vectors $\text{v}$ and framing vectors $\text{w}$ has a canonical structure of subalgebra of the framed CoHA. Restricted to this subalgebra, the algebra multiplication is identified with the stable envelope map. As a corollary, we deduce an explicit inductive formula to compute stable envelopes in terms of tautological classes.

description: We have carried out a comprehensive high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) study of the pseudogap interplay with superconductivity in La-based cuprates. The three systems La$_{2-x}$Sr$_x$CuO$_4$, La$_{1.6-x}$Nd$_{0.4}$Sr$_x$CuO$_4$, and La$_{1.8-x}$Eu$_{0.2}$Sr$_x$CuO$_4$ display slightly different pseudogap critical points in the temperature versus doping phase diagram. We have studied the pseudogap evolution into the superconducting state for doping concentrations just below the critical point. In this setting, near optimal doping for superconductivity and in the presence of the weakest possible pseudogap, we uncover how the pseudogap is partially suppressed inside the superconducting state. This conclusion is based on the direct observation of a reduced pseudogap energy scale and re-emergence of spectral weight suppressed by the pseudogap. Altogether these observations suggest that the pseudogap phenomenon in La-based cuprates is in competition with superconductivity for anti-nodal spectral weight.

Crime policy

description: This dissertation consists of three chapters on economic topics related to crime and early childhood. In the first chapter, I explore the effect of a criminal justice policy on crime. The second chapter examines the relationship between gender nonconformity in childhood and life outcomes. In the third chapter, I study the relationship between access to local mental health care for children and juvenile crime.
 In my first chapter, I study the causal impact of post-release supervision on recidivism and new crime. Prior to 2011, inmates who committed lower-level offenses in North Carolina were not subject to post-release supervision. The North Carolina \textit{Justice Reinvestment Act} changed policy to require nine months of post-release supervision. Leveraging a discrete policy effective date in a regression discontinuity in time model and using administrative data from the North Carolina Department of Public Safety, I explore the effects of this legislative change on criminal outcomes. Evidence indicates that post-release supervision decreases property and violent crimes, but these changes do not persist beyond the supervision period. Results suggest that supervision leads to more individuals returning to prison at a faster rate due to technical, not criminal, violations; however, requiring lower-level offenders to undergo post-release supervision is a cost-effective program.
 The second chapter of this dissertation is coauthored with Torsten Santavirta and Miguel Sarzosa. We study the role of childhood gender conformity in determining gender gaps. We present a conceptual framework that uses gender norms to explain why some women make less profitable choices than comparable men. Using unique longitudinal survey and register data, we show that gender-nonconforming girls have substantially better education and labor market outcomes than gender-conforming girls. In contrast, gender-nonconforming boys perform substantially worse at school, sort into lower-paying occupations, earn less, and have a greater incidence of mental health disorders and substance abuse during adulthood than gender-conforming boys. Our analyses suggest that such divergence develops from an early age.
 In my last chapter, I explore the relationship between mental health care for children and juvenile crime. Using data with information on facilities that specifically treat children, I exploit the county-level variation in the number of mental health treatment facilities for minors in a two-way fixed-effects model to explore the relationship between access to mental health care in a given year and juvenile crime the following year. I find that outpatient and inpatient mental health facilities for children have heterogeneous effects on juvenile crime.
