description: This thesis examines the foreign policy of statelike actors; that are entities that blur the line between state and armed non-state actors. It employs neoclassical realism, which hereto has been firmly state-centric, arguing that the approach and methodology of neoclassical realism has the explanatory power to better understand statelike actors’ foreign policy on a regional level. The thesis explores the foreign policy of three different yet similar actors; a national liberation movement, the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO); an Islamist political party and an Islamic social movement, Hizbullah; and a secessionist movement, the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG). Despite their diverse nature and aspirations, these three actors display a high level of stateness, including the ability to conduct foreign policy, without possessing international legal recognition. Drawing from neoclassical realism, the thesis identifies specific intervening variables – the leadership’s perception of the system, its strategic culture, the state-society relations and institutions–while introducing an additional variable; the notion of territoriality. In turn, the thesis explores, first, how these intervening variables interact and engage with the structural system and stimuli (independent variable) in producing foreign policy choices (Type II) and, second, whether the statelike actors’ foreign policy produces structural outcomes (Type III). The thesis demonstrates that in all foreign policy choices the leadership’s perception, strategic culture and territoriality play an equally important and decisive role in the statelike actors’ foreign policy choices. Conversely, foreign policy institutions have no impact. Moreover, given the monocracy of these actors, state-society relations have a medium-level impact, except when their relations are on the verge of collapse, which delegitimises the leadership, rending the state-society relations a decisive variable. Finally, the thesis shows that statelike actors’ foreign policy impacts regional dynamics but does not produce structural outcomes per se.

description: We consider conformal field theories with slightly broken higher spin symmetry in arbitrary spacetime dimensions. We analyze the crossing equation in the double light-cone limit and solve for the anomalous dimensions of higher spin currents $γ_s$ with large spin $s$. The result depends on the symmetries and the spectrum of the unperturbed conformal field theory. We reproduce all known results and make further predictions. In particular we make a prediction for the anomalous dimensions of higher spin currents in the 3d Ising model.

Command and Control systems

description: Increasing requirements to enhance mobility, coupled with a need to defend troops from the lethality of the modern battlefield, are causing the Army to consider new organizational arrangements and new communication and information technologies for the command and control (C2) of battalion-level combat units. It is important to understand the role information plays in enhancing the ability of C2 team members to make critical decisions. This study describes an information flow analysis, using four concurrent and correlated coding schemas, of videotapes taken of an active Army combat unit engaging in a combat simulation exercise. Coding of 135 out of 1035 minutes of simulated combat in an artillery Tactical Operations Center seems to indicate that information flow in such a task environment is constant, diverse, both directional and omnidirectional, both focused and generalized, and germane to multiple levels of situational awareness at the same time.

description: Extending the single photon transmission distance is a basic requirement for the implementation of quantum communication on a global scale. In this work we report the single photon exchange from a medium Earth orbit satellite (MEO) at more than 7000 km of slanted distance to the ground station at the Matera Laser Ranging Observatory. The single photon transmitter was realized by exploiting the corner cube retro-reflectors mounted on the LAGEOS-2 satellite. Long duration of data collection is possible with such altitude, up to 43 minutes in a single passage. The mean number of photons per pulse (μsat) has been limited to 1 for 200 seconds, resulting in an average detection rate of 3.0 cps and a signal to noise ratio of 1.5. The feasibility of single photon exchange from MEO satellites paves the way to tests of Quantum Mechanics in moving frames and to global Quantum Information.

Peeling of multilayer graphene generates complex interlayer sliding patterns

description: Peeling, shearing, and sliding are important mechanical phenomena in van der Waals solids. However, theoretically they have been studied mostly using minimal periodic cells and in the context of accurate quantum simulations. Here, we investigate the peeling of large-scale multilayer graphene stacks with varying thicknesses, stackings, and peeling directions by using classical molecular dynamics simulations with a registry-dependent interlayer potential. Simulations show that, while at large scale the peeling proceeds smoothly, at small scale the registry shifts and sliding patterns of the layers are unexpectedly intricate and depend both on the initial stacking and on the peeling direction. These observations indicate that peeling and concomitant kink formations may well transform stacking order and thereby profoundly influence the electronic structures of such multilayer solids.

A Definition for Giant Planets Based on the Mass-Density Relationship
Creators: name: Rauer, Artie P. Hatzes Heike
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Earth and Planetary Astrophysics (astro-ph.EP)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We present the mass-density relationship (log M - log rho) for objects with masses ranging from planets (M ~ 0.01 M_Jup) through stars (M > 0.08 M_Sun). This relationship shows three distinct regions separated by a change in slope in log M -- log rho plane. In particular, objects with masses in the range 0.3 M_Jup to 60 M_Jup follow a tight linear relationship with no distinguishing feature to separate the low mass end (giant planets) from the high mass end (brown dwarfs). The distinction between giant planets and brown dwarfs thus seems arbitrary. We propose a new definition of giant planets based simply on changes in the slope of the log $M$ versus log rho relationship. By this criterion, objects with masses less than ~ 0.3 M_Jup are low mass planets, either icy or rocky. Giant planets cover the mass range 0.3 M_Jup to 60 M_Jup. Analogous to the stellar main sequence, objects on the upper end of the giant planet sequence (brown dwarfs) can simply be referred to as "high mass giant planets", while planets with masses near that of Jupiter can be considered to be "low mass giant planets".

Digital Curation for Audiovisual Materials: Two Case Studies of Non-Academic Repositories
Creators: name: Klein, Aubrey
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2018

description: Few studies have examined the digital curation practices of audiovisual materials from the perspective of the digital object lifecycle. With a plethora of existing video content and more being produced at a steady rate, it is important that repositories have a plan for the long-term digital preservation of their video assets. Of particular interest is audiovisual preservation outside of academic repositories. In this case study, the digital curation strategies of two non-academic repositories handling digital video assets were analyzed in relation to the digital object lifecycle. Findings from these cases provide insight into real-world practice and suggest that digital preservation planning in these environments requires more attention.

description: We study all possible observables in $B\to D^{(\ast)}τν_τ$ with new physics (NP), including new vector, scalar and tensor interactions, and investigate the prospects of extracting NP Wilson coefficients with optimal observables. Analysis of the full $q^2$ integrated branching fractions of $B\to D^{(\ast)}τν_τ$ show that the overall sensitivity of the observables of $B\to D τν_τ$ is more towards the scalar current, whereas the bin-by-bin analysis of $q^2$ distribution of the differential branching fraction points to regions of $q^2$ sensitive to tensor interactions. Interestingly, the observables in $B\to D^{\ast}τν_τ$ are more sensitive to tensor interactions, and bin-by-bin analysis of this mode shows the distinct regions of $q^2$ sensitive to vector or scalar interactions. In addition to that, the $τ$ polarisation asymmetry is found to be more sensitive to NP compared to the other observables, in both decay modes.

description: MWC 314 is one of the most luminous stars in the Milky Way. Its fundamental parameters are similar to those of LBVs, although no large photometric variations have been recorded. We analyzed the radial velocity (RV) variations displayed by the absorption lines from the star's atmosphere using high resolution optical spectra. The RV and profile variations of some permitted and forbidden emission lines of metallic ions and the behavior of the Balmer and HeI lines has been investigated as well. The RV of the absorption lines clearly shows a 60-day periodicity. A dense coverage of the RV curve allowed us to derive accurate orbital parameters. The RV of the FeII emission lines varies in the same way, but with a smaller amplitude. Additionally, the intensity ratio of the blue/red peaks of these emission lines correlates with the RV variations. The Balmer lines and {NII] lines display a nearly constant RV and no profile variations in phase with the orbital motion instead. The HeI-5876 Å line shows a strongly variable profile with broad and blue-shifted absorption components reaching velocities of

description: We calculate the spin transport of hydrogenated graphene using the Landauer-Büttiker formalism with a spin-dependent tight-binding Hamiltonian. The advantages of using this method is that it simultaneously gives information on sheet resistance and localization length as well as spin relaxation length. Furthermore, the Landauer-Büttiker formula can be computed very efficiently using the recursive Green's function technique. Previous theoretical results on spin relaxation time in hydrogenated graphene have not been in agreement with experiments. Here, we study magnetic defects in graphene with randomly aligned magnetic moments, where interference between spin-channels is explicitly included. We show that the spin relaxation length and sheet resistance scale nearly linearly with the impurity concentration. Moreover, the spin relaxation mechanism in hydrogenated graphene is Markovian only near the charge neutrality point or in the highly dilute impurity limit.

description: This study appraises the e-NC initiative, an ongoing program in North Carolina to encourage individuals, businesses and public institutions in the state to use information technology, especially the Internet, to improve their economic conditions. The appraisal reviews the premise and the operating strategy of the program, finds both very sound, and suggests issues for future work. Drawing on recent research, the e-NC Authority in future could advise businesses on the most promising information technology packages, and stress the importance of reengineering business processes and workplace practices to reap the full benefits of information technologies. The Authority could also focus its limited advisory and extension resources on those sectors likely to contribute most to productivity growth. And finally, the Authority will need to address the issue of risk management in the face of information technology-related volatility of employment.

The observation that motivated this study in the social context was that people tended to avoid their social lives outdoors by the fear of being infected during the situation. Two time-series datasets were processed for the purpose of getting rid of seasonal patterns. The result showed that they are correlated with each other with 169 hours. It indicates that the sentiments in social media can be a good way of mirroring people's behaviors ahead of time.

description: The shape of an electron bunch has a tremendous impact on its emission of synchrotron radiation. Especially the formation of sub-structures can increase the yield in the THz region. This thesis investigates the micro-bunching instability, a mechanism where structures form due to self-interaction of the electrons with their own wake-field. The methods include simulation and measurements. On the simulation side, the thesis describes the optimization of simulation algorithms to increase numerical stability as well as computational performance. On the experimental side, an optimized monitor for single-shot bunch profile measurements was designed to allow continuous bunch profile measurements with high signal-to-noise ratio and a sub-ps resolution at 2.7 MHz repetition rate.
Some intrinsic properties of h-Randers conformal change

description: In the present paper we have considered h-Randers conformal change of a Finsler metric $ L $, which is defined as \begin{center}$ L(x,y)\rightarrow \bar{L}(x, y)=e^{σ(x)}L(x, y)+β(x, y), \end{center} where $ σ(x) $ is a function of x, $β(x, y) = b_{i}(x, y)y^{i}$ is a 1- form on $M^{n}$ and $b_{i}$ satisfies the condition of being an h-vector. We have obtained the expressions for geodesic spray coefficients under this change. Further we have studied some special Finsler spaces namely quasi-C-reducible, C-reducible, S3-like and S4-like Finsler spaces arising from this metric. We have also obtained the condition under which this change of metric leads a Berwald (or a Landsberg) space into a space of the same kind.

description: An integral approach which can simultaneously model turbulent flow and transport at the sediment–water interface has been recently developed and validated for homogeneous sediment which was achieved by comparing numerical results to flume experiments on flow and transport over a rippled streambed and through the sediment for neutral, gaining, and losing conditions. In the present study, we validated the approach for heterogeneous conditions by comparing numerical simulations of flow and transport in heterogeneous sediment to analytical solutions as well as flume experiments on flow and transport through rippled streambed consisting of heterogeneous sediment. For this complex setup, simulation and experimental results agree well showing that flow and tracer transport prefer paths through areas with bigger grain diameters and higher porosities. The effect of flow redirections under losing and gaining conditions on hyporheic flow and residence times is discussed.

description: We show how the Higgs boson mass is protected from the potentially large corrections due to the introduction of minimal dark matter if the new physics sector is made supersymmetric. The fermionic dark matter candidate (a 5-plet of $SU(2)_L$) is accompanied by a scalar state. The weak gauge sector is made supersymmetric and the Higgs boson is embedded in a supersymmetric multiplet. The remaining standard model states are non-supersymmetric. Non vanishing corrections to the Higgs boson mass only appear at three-loop level and the model is natural for dark matter masses up to 15 TeV--a value larger than the one required by the cosmological relic density. The construction presented stands as an example of a general approach to naturalness that solves the little hierarchy problem which arises when new physics is added beyond the standard model at an energy scale around 10 TeV.

Social Anxiety in Romantic Relationships

Publisher: name: Open Science Framework
Year: 2022

description: The purpose of this study is to investigate and compare the experiences that socially anxious vs. non-anxious individuals have in romantic relationships. Theoretical and empirical research has implicated a number of key cognitive processes typical of clinical and subclinical levels of social anxiety (e.g., perceptions of others as hostile and judgmental, perceptions of the self as socially inadequate), and subsequent behaviours (e.g., social withdrawal) that serve to maintain symptomatology that centre on interpersonal dynamics. These processes have been theorized to potentially playing a role in the development and maintenance of close and romantic relationships, as well as the overarching effects that these relationships have on the individual. Investigation of the experiences of socially anxious individuals within the context of romantic relationships is an emerging field with a great deal of room for growth. Specifically, the interplay of factors relating to the relationship and factors relating to the subjective experience of social anxiety. The present study will lend its focus to providing an exploratory investigation and analyses of the specific associations between social anxiety, psychological processes involved in the establishment and maintenance of romantic relationships, and historical relationship experiences.

description: There has been little published research on the use of electronic audio reserves and music libraries. There have been several studies published to date regarding the use of electronic print document reserves. User responses in these studies are very positive in that they appreciate 24-hour access from any computer with an internet connection. It is likely that what holds true for electronic print resources will also hold true for electronic audio reserves. This paper seeks to determine how electronic audio reserves are being used now and what their use might mean for the future of the physical musical library. This and other questions are addressed through analysis of written surveys given to students at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill who use electronic access to audio and analysis of usage statistics on the audio file server. It was determined that students greatly prefer to use electronic audio reserves to those physical sound recordings found on reserve in the Music Library. 24-hour access was indeed the largest factor in choosing a preference, though the ability to listen to reserve recordings from a location other than the Music Library was also a factor.

description: Scattering, during interplanetary transport in large, "gradual" solar energetic-particle (SEP) events, can cause element abundance enhancements or suppressions that depend upon the mass-to-charge ratio A/Q of the ions as an increasing function early in events and a decreasing function of the residual scattered ions later. Since the Q values for the ions depend upon the source plasma temperature T, best fits, assuming a primarily power-law dependence of enhancements vs. A/Q, provide a fundamentally new method to determine the most probable value of T for these events in the region of 3-10 MeV/amu. Complicated variations in the grouping of element enhancements or suppressions match similar variations in A/Q at the best-fit temperature. We find that fits to the times of increasing and decreasing powers give similar values of T, most commonly in the range of 0.8-1.6 MK for 69% of the events, consistent with the acceleration of ambient coronal plasma by shock waves driven out from the Sun by coronal mass ejections (CMEs). However, 24% of the SEP events studied showed plasma of 2.5-3.2 MK, typical of that previously determined for the smaller impulsive SEP events; these particles may be reaccelerated preferentially by quasi-perpendicular shock waves that require a high injection threshold that the impulsive-event ions exceed or simply by high intensities of impulsive suprathermal ions at the shock. The source-temperature distribution of ten higher-energy ground-level events (GLEs) in the sample is similar to that of the other gradual events. Some events show evidence that a portion of the ions have been further stripped of electrons; such events are smaller and tend to cluster late in the solar cycle.

description: Following the recommendations of the European Strategy Group for High Energy Physics, CERN launched the Future Circular Collider Study (FCC) to investigate the feasibility of large-scale circular colliders for future high energy physics research. This thesis presents the considerations taken into account during the design process of the magnetic lattice in the arc sections of the electron-positron version FCC-ee. The machine is foreseen to operate at four different centre-of-mass energies in the range of 90 to 350$\,$GeV. Different beam parameters need to be achieved for every energy, which requires a flexible lattice design in the arc sections. Therefore methods to tune the horizontal beam emittance without re-positioning machine components are implemented. In combination with damping and excitation wigglers a precise adjustment of the emittance can be achieved. A very first estimation of the vertical emittance arising from lattice imperfections is performed. Special emphasis is put on the optimisation of the chromaticity correction scheme based on a multi-family sextupole scheme in the arcs. In order to obtain a momentum acceptance of $\pm2\,\%$, which is required because of the severe energy loss due to beamstrahlung, it is not sufficient to correct only the linear chromaticity. The very strong focussing in the final focus quadrupoles requires the correction of higher-order terms as well. Methods to deal with this issue are investigated. A systematic study of the higher-order chromaticity and the optimisation of the sextupole scheme to gain highest possible momentum acceptance is presented.

description: The differential cross section for proton-proton elastic scattering has been measured at a beam energy of 1.0 GeV and in 200 MeV steps from 1.6 to 2.8 GeV for centre-of-mass angles in the range from 12-16 degrees to 25-30 degrees, depending on the energy. Absolute normalisations of typically 3% were achieved by studying the energy losses of the circulating beam of the COSY storage ring as it passed repeatedly through the windowless hydrogen target of the ANKE magnetic spectrometer. It is shown that the data have a significant impact upon a partial wave analysis. After extrapolating the differential cross sections to the forward direction, the results are broadly compatible with the predictions of forward dispersion relations.

description: This paper describes the design and implementation of an application of the Results Space project into an Android powered mobile cell phone. Results Space is an NSF-sponsored project started in the fall of 2008 that is part of the Interaction Design Lab at the School of Information and Library Science at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Results Space aims to improve the efficiency of searching through the web by providing a framework that focuses on organizing search results and providing easier collaboration amongst the users within the same search domain.  The mobile version of Results Space aims to be a quick interface where a user can scan through subscribed projects, view updates and browse through the result sets of each project. Thus, the mobile version becomes mainly a tool for viewing and not manipulating data. Finally, this paper introduces the recently released Google cell phone platform, named Android. It describes the steps for developing the Results Space mobile edition as well as discussing the challenges and their resolution during the development process.

description: Learning motivation is one factor that directly affects students' learning activities. Motivation for learning is not available, nor can it be imposed. Still, it is formed gradually by students going deep into the learning object. From the needs of the learning things and from the external factors that promote the motivation of students' learning activities. In this article, we want to discuss students' learning motivation and the role of teachers in forming a positive learning motivation for students to improve the quality of teaching and learning.
The "ELN Finder" - a new service around Electronic Lab Notebooks

description: The new service "ELN Finder" supports the selection of a suitable electronic lab notebook (ELN) for specific usage scenarios. A common problem for researchers and RDM staff is to keep track of the large market of ELN software in order to select suitable ELN software or services for their own laboratory or institution. Up to now, there has been no continuously maintained and as complete as possible overview containing detailed information on the individual products, neither on a national nor on an international level. This gap is now closed by the "ELN Finder" (https://eln-finder.ulb.tu-darmstadt.de). The "ELN Finder" is thus a web service that helps in the selection of a suitable electronic laboratory book and significantly simplifies the otherwise very time-consuming search. The current version of the "ELN Finder" is as follows: By means of a sophisticated metadata scheme, more than 40 filter criteria are available, which in turn are divided into clearly arranged categories. The results list of the ELN tools identified is presented in an overview and contains brief descriptions of the individual tools. The "ELN Finder" currently contains detailed up-to-date information on 30 different ELN software systems. Editorial procedures have been developed and tested for further expansion of the database and continuous maintenance. The service is also intended to serve networking between users of the same system and to enable exchange of experience. The "ELN Finder" is organised by ZB MED - Information Centre Life Sciences, the editorial team consists of numerous experts and users of ELN tools from all over Germany. The technical implementation as a web service is carried out by the University and State Library (ULB) Darmstadt, based on the open source software DSpace7. The Tool Presentation introduces the new service and the editorial and technical processes behind it, describes the plans for the future and calls for editorial cooperation.
Natural Split Mechanism for Sfermions: $N$=2 Supersymmetry in Phenomenology

description: We suggest a natural split mechanism for sfermions based on $N$=2 supersymmetry (SUSY). $N$=2 SUSY protects a sfermion in an $N$=2 multiplet from gaining weight by SUSY breaking. Therefore, if partly $N$=2 SUSY is effectively obtained, a split spectrum can be realized naturally. As an example of the natural split mechanism, we build a gauge-mediated SUSY breaking-like model assuming $N$=2 SUSY is partly broken in a UV theory. The model explains the Higgs boson mass and the muon anomalous magnetic dipole moment within $1~σ$ level with a splitting sfermion spectrum. The model has seven light sparticles described by three free parameters and predicts a new chiral multiplet, sb: the $N$=2 partner of the ${\rm U(1)_Y}$ vector multiplet. The bini, the fermion component of the sb, weighs MeVs. We mention the experimental and the cosmological aspects of the model.
