Thomas Hart Benton: popular culture and the American nude
Creators: name: Ashley, Louise Haven
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: My research examines four artworks by the American Regionalist Thomas Hart Benton that offer different depictions of the nude and semi-nude female: the America Today (1930-31) mural series, Hollywood (1937-38), Susanna and the Elders (1938) and Persephone (1938-39), all from the 1930s. Benton's interest in the eroticized female body, influenced by popular culture, is evident in these works. I propose that Benton incorporated the visual cues of pin-ups and "pretty girl" imagery into the iconography of Persephone to create an inherently American nude, so that his American aesthetic might compete with the European tradition. Through a feminist analysis, I will examine the reactions that women and men had, and may have towards the sexualized female body used in advertising, film, and print media during the 1930s. My research concludes after examining Benton's eroticized interpretation of the originally violent Greek mythology and Apocryphal narratives that inspired Susanna and Persephone.

description: A survey was done in selected areas with clay soils in Trinidad and Guyana to gain further insights into the soil and water management problems on small farms. The survey showed that many farmers, especially in Guyana, expend large amounts of energy using hand tools in weed control and land preparation. Farmers had problems in timing tillage operations due to the weather, unavailability of equipment and cost of tillage. The limitations to land preparation, fertility and water management and weed control are highlighted. The potential of reduced tillage methods, for soil and water conservation and stable continuous soil productivity, is discussed. Results of tillage studies in Trinidad and Guyana are summarised. Suggestions for future research to obviate the limitations to increased use of reduced tillage methods are discussed.

description: Two field experiments were conducted in 1983-84 at the Fortuna Research and Development Center, Puerto Rico, to determine the economic threshold of pigweed (Amaranthus dubius), jungle rice (Echinochloa colonum) and horse purslane (Trianthema portulacastrum) and their critical period of competition in drip irrigated peppers (Capsicum annuum L. var. Cubanelle). Pepper seedlings were 42 days old at transplanting. In the economic threshold study, weed populations were adjusted to 0, 2, 5, 10, 20, 40, 80 or 120 plants/m2. In the critical period study, weeds were allowed to grow for 0, 12, 24, 36, 48 or 60 days after transplanting and were kept free until harvest. The economic threshold was found to be 2 to 5 plants/m2 for pigweed; 5 to 10 plants/m2 for jungle rice; and 20 plants/m2 for horse purslane. The critical period of weed competition ranged from 24 to 36 days.

description: In this work, we describe a full-stack pipeline for natural language processing on near-term quantum computers, aka QNLP. The language-modelling framework we employ is that of compositional distributional semantics (DisCoCat), which extends and complements the compositional structure of pregroup grammars. Within this model, the grammatical reduction of a sentence is interpreted as a diagram, encoding a specific interaction of words according to the grammar. It is this interaction which, together with a specific choice of word embedding, realises the meaning (or "semantics") of a sentence. Building on the formal quantum-like nature of such interactions, we present a method for mapping DisCoCat diagrams to quantum circuits. Our methodology is compatible both with NISQ devices and with established Quantum Machine Learning techniques, paving the way to near-term applications of quantum technology to natural language processing.

description: Sweet potatoes do not generally twine, but twining can be induced by shade. Twining sweet potatoes were produced by selection and polycrossing. Frequency of climbing sweet potatoes increased in four successive populations from 0.7 to 33, 56, and 48%. Twining sweet potatoes produce normal storage roots, and can be selected for other characteristics. The foliage is modified. Most twiners have entire leaves, long, thin vines with long internodes, thin basal vines and underdeveloped crowns. Vine tops tend to grow vertically and twine in a counter-clockwise direction. Propagation of twiners under optimum conditions is restricted by the ease with which the thin stems wilt, and by reduced rooting. Most twiners are susceptible to "virus" disease. The clone, whether propagated from stems or from sprouts, is less vigorous than the seedling generation. Principal symptoms are small, rugose leaves and slow growth. After one or two generations it becomes impractical to continue. Twiners are still vigorous under test on supports and in relay with corn. Stable twining varieties should be useful in multiple cropping.

description: Inexpensive, efficient food crops that are attractive, tasty, nutritious, and versatile are needed in the Caribbean. The sweet potato has the advantage that it can be produced and harvested throughout the year. Usage of the sweet potato can be increased by breeding better varieties, especially those with little or no sweetness and bland flavors, and by better methods of preparation. A diffusion process was developed, which improves the acceptability even of the worst sweet potatoes. A household type process for making flour was developed; flours can be used in partial substitution for wheat flour. Insect resistance and stress tolerances are needed. Progress has been rapid, using mass selection as a tool. Varieties with new characteristics are available and need regional testing. Progress is being made in developing improved horticultural techniques and short cuts for testing adaptability.

Masks and muses: Marie Laurencin's artist-group portraits

description: Marie Laurencin's (1883-1965) marginality in the history of French Modernism persists in spite her insider status as a member of the "Bateau-Lavoir" group in her early career, and her substantial success thereafter. Rather than attempting to engage with why and how Laurencin's style related to the larger aesthetic movements with which she has been associated (Cubism, Fauvism, Symbolism, Dada and the like) scholars all to often dismiss her work as merely derivative of her male peers. In what follows, I examine Laurencin's two artist-group portraits, Group of Artists (1908) and Apollinaire and His Friends (1909). I return both paintings to the original context of their production, examining their formal stylistic components in relation to avant-garde ideologies of Cubism and Fauvism. I argue that there is a mobilization of the theories of Cubist portraiture, as they were understood in 1907-1908 visible in the Group of Artists. To illustrate this point I draw heavily upon structuralist interpretations of Cubism. In Apollinaire and His Friends I look at the way that Laurencin drew from the practices of both Cubism and Fauvism to both assert her legitimacy as an avant-gardist and to construct her own hybrid style. In doing so, I argue that Laurencin's two artist-group portraits functioned as visual manifesti, simultaneously demonstrating her prowess as an avant-gardist, while also mobilizing those same ideologies to navigate and make commentary on her particular circumstance as female painter.

description: A microscopic model of adsorption in cluster forming systems with competing interaction is considered. The adsorption process is described by the master equation and modelled by a kinetic Monte Carlo method. The evolution of the particle concentration and interaction energy during the adsorption of particles on a plane triangular lattice is investigated. The simulation results show a diverse behavior of the system time evolution depending on the temperature and chemical potential and finally on the formation of clusters in the system. The characteristic relaxation times of adsorption vary in several orders of magnitude depending on the thermodynamic parameters of the final equilibrium state of the adsorbate. A very fast adsorption of particles is observed for highly ordered adsorbate equilibrium states.

description: From modeling the evolution of disks of planetesimals under the influence of planets, it has been shown that the mass of water delivered to the Earth from beyond Jupiter's orbit could be comparable to the mass of terrestrial oceans. A considerable portion of the water could have been delivered to the Earth's embryo, when its mass was smaller than the current mass of the Earth. While the Earth's embryo mass was growing to half the current mass of the Earth, the mass of water delivered to the embryo could be near 30% of the total amount of water delivered to the Earth from the feeding zone of Jupiter and Saturn. Water of the terrestrial oceans could be a result of mixing the water from several sources with higher and lower D/H ratios. The mass of water delivered to Venus from beyond Jupiter's orbit was almost the same as that for the Earth, if normalized to unit mass of the planet. The analogous per-unit mass of water delivered to Mars was two-three times as much as that for the Earth. The mass of water delivered to the Moon from beyond Jupiter's orbit could be less than that for the Earth by a factor not more than 20.

description: We investigate the bulk magnetic, electron paramagnetic resonance, and magneto-optical properties of {Ni4Mo12}, a magnetic molecule with antiferromagnetically coupled tetrahedral {Ni4Mo12} in a diamagnetic molybdenum matrix. The low-temperature magnetization exhibits steps at irregular field intervals, a result that cannot be explained using a Heisenberg model even if it is augmented by magnetic anisotropy and biquadratic terms. Allowing the exchange and anisotropy parameters to depend on the magnetic field provides the best fit to our data, suggesting that the molecular structure (and thus the interactions between spins) may be changing with applied magnetic field.

description: Steep slopes and limited water resources in the Virgin Islands encourage the establishment of permanent pastures and orchard crops for soil conservation while intensifying land management. The rising costs of energy and transportation have increased the price of both animal feeds and nitrogen fertilizers, which are imported. These factors have made more imperative the successful incorporation of N-fixing legumes into the various farming systems. Six legumes, Leuceana leucocephala (Lam.) DeWit, Teramnus labialis (L.f.) Spreng, Vigna luteola (Jacq.) Benth., Macropitilium atropurpurea (DC) Urban, Neonotonia wightii Lackey, and L. leucocephala var. K-8, were evaluated chemically and agronomically for use as pasture, green manure, and rover crops. In addition, 20 other native or naturalized species of legumes were suggested for greater utilization in farm systems in the Virgin Islands and West Indies.

description: Lethal diseases of coconut palm in the Caribbean region include lethal yellowing (LY). hartrot (HR), redring (RR). budrot, and buttrot. Of these, LY is by far the most important. Lethal yellowing occurs in and to the north of Jamaica, in Florida and Texas, and from the Bahamas to Quintana Roo, Mexico. The common coconut cultivar of the Caribbean region, the 'Jamaica Tall' ('Atlantic Tall') is highly susceptible to LY. LY is associated with a mycoplasma-like organism which obligately infects the phleom of diseased palms, and is carried from palm to palm by the leafhopper Hyndus crudus. HR produces symptoms very similar to LY, but is associated with flagellated protozoa of the genus Phytomonas, which also are obligate phloem-inhabitors. HR occurs in South America, the southern islands of the Caribbean, and in Central America. The vector of HR is not known with certainty. RR occurs over the same range as HR and occurs with LY in the Yucatan peninsula. RR is caused by the nematode Radinaphelinchus cocophilus and its vector is the palm weevil. Budrot and buttrot, both caused by fungal invasions, annually cause minor losses in coconut palms throughout the region.

description: Voting is a general method for preference aggregation in multiagent settings, but seminal results have shown that all (nondictatorial) voting protocols are manipulable. One could try to avoid manipulation by using voting protocols where determining a beneficial manipulation is hard computationally. A number of recent papers study the complexity of manipulating existing protocols. This paper is the first work to take the next step of designing new protocols that are especially hard to manipulate. Rather than designing these new protocols from scratch, we instead show how to tweak existing protocols to make manipulation hard, while leaving much of the original nature of the protocol intact. The tweak studied consists of adding one elimination preround to the election. Surprisingly, this extremely simple and universal tweak makes typical protocols hard to manipulate! The protocols become NP-hard, #P-hard, or PSPACE-hard to manipulate, depending on whether the schedule of the preround is determined before the votes are collected, after the votes are collected, or the scheduling and the vote collecting are interleaved, respectively. We prove general sufficient conditions on the protocols for this tweak to introduce the hardness, and show that the most common voting protocols satisfy those conditions. These are the first results in voting settings where manipulation is in a higher complexity class than NP (presuming PSPACE $\neq$ NP).
Proximity of Self As A Prerequisite for Illusion of Control
Creators: name: Bates, Kathryn
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: The illusion of control is a cognitive bias in which people overestimate their ability to influence the outcome of chance events (e.g., Langer, 1975). In this study, we showed that the decision maker's self construct to the event (proximity of self) is a prerequisite that must be met before the illusion can manifest, to be then explained by one or more of these factors. Participants in Experiment 1 who viewed their completion of a coin toss task on a monitor were less likely to show an illusion of control than participants who gave their responses to the experimenter directly. Experiment 2 extended this finding to another cognitive bias, the framing effect (Tversky & Kahneman, 1981). We discuss the findings within the framework of explanations offered for illusion of control and suggest that a prerequisite of proximity may generalize to other biases, as well.

description: The IR-4 program is a nationwide cooperative effort which aids in the development of data required for the registration of animal drugs, biologic pest control agents and pesticides required for minor or specialty uses. Headquartered at Rutgers University, New Jersey, it supports regional offices at four locations across the country. The Southern Region Leader Laboratory, located at the University of Florida, Gainesville, coordinates the research and data collecting aspects of IR-4 in thirteen states plus Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. Registration needs identified by researchers, growers and other users are brought to the attention of IR-4 and protocols are written to outline research required for eventual registration. IR-4 supports scientific research at Universities, State Experiment Stations and USDA facilities and develops data into a registration package. It usually requires two years from the time a request is presented to IR-4 until ultimate registration
Another BRICS in the Wall

description: The BRICS countries recently approved the creation of a new multilateral development bank to mobilize resources for infrastructure and sustainable development projects. This paper examines the New Development Bank (NDB) through the IFI (international financial institution) elite to understand the complex organizational environment in which the elite operate, and thus offers important contributions to existing work on multilateral development banks and organizational behavior. It highlights how different discourses of the BRICS Bank were created and reproduced by the IFI elite to largely minimize the importance and relevancy of the former. The study concludes that the NDB's construction was produced not only from existing power exchanges and institutional dependencies, but also by the IFI elite's own environmental unawareness.

Another BRICS in the Wall
Creators: name: Ben-Aroch, Michelle
Publisher: name: ProQuest
Year: 2023
Subjects: classificationCode: 44
subject: Human society

description: The BRICS countries recently approved the creation of a new multilateral development bank to mobilize resources for infrastructure and sustainable development projects. This paper examines the New Development Bank (NDB) through the IFI (international financial institution) elite to understand the complex organizational environment in which the elite operate, and thus offers important contributions to existing work on multilateral development banks and organizational behavior. It highlights how different discourses of the BRICS Bank were created and reproduced by the IFI elite to largely minimize the importance and relevancy of the former. The study concludes that the NDB's construction was produced not only from existing power exchanges and institutional dependencies, but also by the IFI elite's own environmental unawareness.

description: We are reinvestigating the hyperfine structure of sodium using a fully relativistic multiconfiguration approach. In the fully relativistic approach, the computational strategy somewhat differs from the original nonrelativistic counterpart used in Jönsson et al. (Phys. Rev. A 53 (1996) 4021). Numerical instabilities force us to use a layer-by-layer approach that has some broad unexpected effects. Core correlation is found to be significant and therefore requires to be described in an adequate orbital basis. The natural-orbital basis provides an interesting alternative to the orbital basis from the layer-by-layer approach, allowing us to overcome some deficits of the latter, giving rise to magnetic dipole hyperfine structure constant values in excellent agreement with observations. Effort is made to assess the reliability of the natural-orbital bases and to illustrate their efficiency.

description: The main purpose of this study was to investigate the role of social capital in the motivation of students for job creation. The statistical population of this study included all students of Islamic Azad University of Karaj (N=3200) that 178 cases of these students were selected as research samples according to the Cochran formula. Data were collected by using a regulated questionnaire whose content validity was approved by faculty members of Agricultural development and management of University of Tehran. Social capital was measured in the form of four components including social confidence, social coherence, social communication and social participation. In addition, five items were used to measure students' motivation for job creation. To determine the re- liability of measuring instruments after the pretest (30 people), Cronbach's alpha coefficient was determined that its rate for variables of job creation motivation, social coherence, social participation, social communication and social confidence was 0.73, 0.76, 0.69, 0.71 and 0.72, respectively. Decision tree was used as the analysis techniques to study role of social capital in the motivation of job creation and results showed students who were more moderate in terms of social capital, had more motivation for job creation.
LIKE WATER POURED OUT: PORTRAITS OF SACRIFICE, STRUGGLE, AND SERVICE IN THE KINGSTON SLUMS
Creators: name: Bradley, Patrick Marion
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: LIKE WATER POURED OUT is an original work of narrative nonfiction by Patrick Marion Bradley. Presented in vignette chapters, the piece follows the daily lives and struggles of monks and nuns in the Missionaries of the Poor--a Catholic order of brothers and sisters from around the world dedicated to caring for the poor, elderly, orphaned, disabled, and ill in the violent slums of Kingston, Jamaica. At the narrative's center lies Brother Augusto Silot, the order's new leader, who grapples with the responsibilities of an organization constantly facing limited resources and endless need. In highlighting this group of people who have left their families and committed their lives to strangers, the manuscript poses profound questions about what love and sacrifice mean in an age of consumerism and individuality.

The research was an applied study type. The research method of this study is descriptive-correlation. Statistical population of the study consisted of all of biotechnology experts of Research Center of Agriculture of Ilam Province (N=63). Census method was used in this study. A questionnaire was the main tool which the face and content its validity was confirmed by panel of University Experts. Reliability Coefficient (Cronbach's alpha) of the questionnaire was 92%. Results showed that the use of media (radio and TV) was the most important factor in the use of transgenic plants. The result of Spearman correlation coefficients showed that, there was a significant relationship between the variables such as the use of communication media, communication with extension professionals, and scientific rank of professional with use of transgenic plants. Multiple regression analysis results showed that varriables like scientific rank, relationship with extension professionals and mass media have positive effect on the dependent variable of application of transgenic plants, describing 53.2% of the changes of the mentioned dependent variable.

description: We report an experiment measuring simultaneously the temperatureand the flux of ions produced by a cloud of triplet metastablehelium atoms at the Bose-Einstein critical temperature. The onsetof condensation is revealed by a sharp increase of the ion fluxduring evaporative cooling. Combining our measurements withprevious measurements of ionization in a pure BEC,we extract an improved value of the scattering length$a=11.3^{+2}_{-1}$ nm. The analysis includes corrections takinginto accountthe effect of atomic interactions on the criticaltemperature, and thus an independent measurement of the scatteringlength would allow a new test of these calculations.
Importance of Perturbed Gravitational Potentials in Differentially Rotating Newtonian Stars

description: It is usually believed that the Cowling approximation can give satisfactory solutions if the stars %are highly compressible have soft equations of state and/or if the strongly general relativistic stars are treated in the case of rigid rotation. Since, however, there have been no systematic studies about the accuracy of the Cowling approximation for differentially rotating compressible stars, we investigate eigenfrequencies and eigenfunctions of the oscillation modes in {\it rapidly} and {\it differentially} rotating compressible stars by employing the exact method including full-perturbations and the Cowling approximation. We have found that the Cowling approximation for f-mode oscillations is not a good approximation in rapidly and differentially rotating stars, although rapid rotation makes this approximation better for rigidly rotating stars. This result suggests that we must be careful when we apply the Cowling approximation to differentially rotating stars even in the framework of general relativity. On the other hand, the approximation will work well for r-modes even if the star is rotating differentially. Therefore, the Cowling approximation can be used as a strong tool for the investigation of r-mode oscillations in the general relativistic framework that it is difficult to compute including the perturbations of gravity.

A Massive X-Ray Outflow from the Quasar PDS 456

description: We report on XMM-Newton spectroscopic observations of the luminous, radio-quiet quasar PDS 456. The hard X-ray spectrum of PDS 456 shows a deep absorption trough (constituting 50% of the continuum) at energies above 7 keV in the quasar rest frame, which can be attributed to a series of blue-shifted K-shell absorption edges due to highly ionized iron. The higher resolution soft X-ray RGS spectrum exhibits a broad absorption line feature near 1 keV, which can be modeled by a blend of L-shell transitions from highly ionized iron (Fe XVII-XXIV). An extreme outflow velocity of 50000 km/s is required to model the K and L shell iron absorption present in the XMM-Newton data. Overall, a large column density ($N_{H}=5\times10^{23}$cm$^{-2}$) of highly ionized gas (logxi=2.5) is required in PDS 456. A high mass outflow rate of 10 solar masses per year (assuming a conservative outflow covering factor of 0.1 steradian) is derived, which is of the same order as the overall mass accretion rate in PDS 456. The kinetic energy of the outflow represents a substantial fraction (10%) of the quasar energy budget, whilst the large column and outflow velocity place PDS 456 towards the extreme end of the broad absorption line quasar population.
