description: The goal of the present work is to explore a wide variety of answers to the so-called special composition question (hereafter SCQ), which asks, given some things, the Xs, when is it that the Xs are some one thing, rather than many? For instance, given some pieces of wood, e.g., the wood (and perhaps other materials things like epoxy) compose a canoe? As with the aforementioned cases, it seems obvious that sometimes, e.g., some lumber composes a fence, some molecules compose an organism, or some quantities of alcohol compose a martini. In other situations, it seems questionable whether there is anything one could do to make some things compose another thing. For instance, is there anything one could do to make two persons and an apple pie compose one thing, some single thing such that it is two parts person and one part pie? As a rather famous example of the latter “strange kind,” David Lewis postulates “fusions” of such disparate and heterogeneous things as “trout-turkeys,” composed of the front half of a turkey and back half of a trout. The previous illustrations are all cases in which we can ask, when do some things become one whole, and is there a general and uniform answer to be searched for?  There are three standard answers in “material object metaphysics” that philosophers have thought have some promise in answering the SCQ: sometimes, always, and never. The present work examines each of these answers, and some variants thereof, in detail. One of my primary aims is to sort the tenable answers from the untenable ones. In each chapter, I provide a general statement of the view, its alleged advantages and disadvantages, and then evaluate the cogency of arguments in favor of those allegations.    In Chapter six, I argue that noncontingentism regarding existential statements about when composition occurs have often ended in stalemates. I recommend that the relevant kind of contingentism, along with an empirically informed metaphysics, will better serve those wanting to know when composition occurs, if at all, in our world.

description: The dark sirens method combines gravitational waves and catalogs of galaxies to constrain the cosmological expansion history, merger rates and mass distributions of compact objects, and the laws of gravity. However, the incompleteness of galaxy catalogs means faint potential host galaxies are unobserved, and must be modeled to avoid inducing a bias. The majority of dark sirens analyses to date assume that the missing galaxies are distributed uniformly across the sky, which is clearly unphysical. We introduce a new Bayesian approach to the reconstruction of galaxy catalogs, which makes full use of our knowledge of large-scale structure. Our method quantifies the uncertainties on the estimated true galaxy number count in each voxel, and is marginalized over cosmological parameters and bias parameters. Crucially, our method further assesses the (absolute) magnitude distribution of galaxies, which is not known from the galaxy catalog itself. We present the details of our method and validate our approach on a galaxy catalog associated to the Millennium Simulation. The tools developed here generate physically-informed and robust host galaxy reconstructions, enabling more informative dark sirens analyses. Stage IV galaxy surveys will display greater redshift overlap with GW observations, whilst remaining incomplete -- emphasizing the importance of our work.

Competence & performance in belief-desire reasoning
Creators: name: Wang, Lu
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied

description: Navigating the social environment requires us to understand and predict people’s actions. This ability, known as theory of mind, develops early in children. Typically, children’s theory of mind ability is assessed using the standard false-belief task in which children are asked to predict a character’s action given his/her outdated belief. A new wave of research measuring participants spontaneous reactions, such as looking time and anticipatory eye gaze, have revealed an early understanding of false belief, even in infants. This dissertation reports a series of studies that investigate the nature of early theory of mind ability and how this relates to the later developed ability in preschoolers and adults. The first two studies in chapter 2 suggest that children and adults are able to reason about false belief spontaneously, as measured by their anticipatory looking; but their anticipation is subject to the same processing demands observed in children’s performance in verbal false belief tasks, namely, a tendency to attribute to others a true belief derived from one’s own knowledge whenever that information is available. Two studies in chapter 3 report evidence that three- and four-year-old children can represent two distinct false beliefs and bind each belief to the correct agent when prompted explicitly in a verbal task, and two-year-olds can do the same spontaneously in a non-verbal task measuring anticipatory eye gaze. Early working memory therefore has the capacity to bind at least two distinct mental states to each of two agents. Finally, a study in chapter 4 reports that children around 39 months can predict a person’s behavior based on an understanding of the person’s second-order false belief in a task measuring children’s preferential looking time. Together, these studies suggest that the early understanding of mind cannot be reduced to perceptual or behavioral primitives, but instead reflect the developmental basis of genuine theory of mind.

Silences, syntax, and sex
Creators: name: Stewart, Kiyanna
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2014

description: “Uses of the Erotic: The Erotic as Power” are two canonical works of late 20th century U.S. feminist thought, which expound on the concepts of individual and collective silence, knowledge production and the body.  “Silences, Syntax, and Sex: Black Women Poets Moving Past a Culture of Dissemblance in the Post-Black Arts Movement” uses these Lordean texts as a theoretical framework for the selected poetry of black women poets and activists Ntozake Shange, Nikki Giovanni, and Sonia Sanchez in order to understand how poetry has encouraged black women to cultivate sexual voice and agency in the midst of what Darlene Clark Hine calls a “culture of dissemblance.” This work relies heavily on close readings of these women’s Post-Black Arts Movement poetry (from 1975-1990), historically situating the silencing of black women’s sexuality by dominant, hegemonic voices, as well as by black women themselves. I will argue that Lorde’s modes for understanding the rhetoric of silence and the erotic are directly linked to the creative lineage of the three noted black women poets and their necessity to produce work that breaks collective silencing of sexual desire. Because of the overwhelming lack of critical analysis of black women poets and their work, with specific regard to positive self-sexual perception as a form of resistance, this work intends to present these literary narratives as evidence of the place for sexual subjectivity within political activism.
Pricing, competition, and welfare in the supermarket retail industry
Creators: name: Gao, Cixiu
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2014

description: The dissertation comprises three essays that investigate market performance and seller behavior in the supermarket retail industry. The first essay empirically examines welfare effects of the informative price advertising in the supermarket retail industry, using structural estimation approaches and individual scanner data. The simulation results numerically show that the private promotion intensities are socially excessive. The welfare implications of price advertising are determined by the two opposite effects of price advertising: (1) the informing and therefore welfare-improving effect, and (2) the welfare-harming effect of higher transportation costs incurred by consumers when promotions are used as a means of business stealing.    In the second essay, I provide an analytical model for the rationale behind supermarket pricing patterns characterized by long-term high prices and temporary price reductions. The models features oligopoly retailers selling a homogeneous storable good that can be consumed for multiple periods, with consumer heterogeneity with respect to search cost, inventory cost, and store loyalty. In the symmetric Markov-perfect equilibrium (MPE) found, retailers randomize prices, and consumer purchase decisions are characterized by a critical price. The Markov transition of states is non-absorbing: the probability of holding a sale is low at high inventory levels, while at zero inventory retailers compete the hardest. The model is able to generate endogenous temporary price reductions and cyclical inventory variations.    In the third essay, I consider forward-looking purchase and pricing behavior. Consumers maximize the expected discounted future utility flows by balancing inventory cost and potential future savings, and a monopolistic retailer maximizes the present expected profit flows by making a pricing decision that accounts for consumer stockpiling behavior. I estimate the model with data from the laundry detergent market using a simulated minimum distance (SMD) estimator. The simulated market evolution implies that, when consumer inventory level is high and therefore the incentive of purchase is small, the retailer smooths its profit flow by lowering prices to induce purchase; when consumer inventory is low, the retailer expects a high demand driven by urgent consumption needs but tends to keep price high in order to preserve future demand.
Benchmarking Diffusion Models for Machine Translation

description: Diffusion models have recently shown great potential on many generative tasks. In this work, we explore diffusion models for machine translation (MT). We adapt two prominent diffusion-based text generation models, Diffusion-LM and DiffuSeq, to perform machine translation. As the diffusion models generate non-autoregressively (NAR), we draw parallels to NAR machine translation models. With a comparison to conventional Transformer-based translation models, as well as to the Levenshtein Transformer, an established NAR MT model, we show that the multimodality problem that limits NAR machine translation performance is also a challenge to diffusion models. We demonstrate that knowledge distillation from an autoregressive model improves the performance of diffusion-based MT. A thorough analysis on the translation quality of inputs of different lengths shows that the diffusion models struggle more on long-range dependencies than other models.

Triboplasma assisted chemical conversion in granular systems: a semi-analytic model

description: We present a semi-analytic model for a novel plasma-assisted chemical conversion pathway using triboplasmas generated in granular flows. Triboelectric charge relaxation is a well known phenomena where the potential generated from contact charging of particles exceeds the breakdown voltage of the background gas. In this work, we extend the triboelectric charge relaxation theory to include non equilibrium plasma energy and particle balance equations to predict the formation of dissociated and excited species that act as precursors to chemical conversion, for example in plasma-assisted ammonia synthesis. Our example case study with nitrogen background gas and teflon/aluminum tribomaterial system yielded high excited nitrogen species densities per collision that are comparable to current plasma-assisted conversion pathways. We also present a regime diagram for various gases where Paschen breakdown parameters are used to determine whether triboplasmas can be formed for a given effective work-function difference between two materials. Our sensitivity studies indicate particle velocity, particle radius, solids fraction and space charge effects play a critical role in overall plasma densities and excited species production.

description: This report analyzes Hammonton lake's water quality and current trophic condition. It finds that Hammonton Lake is now mesotrophic with random shifts into the eutrophic range. Its objectives are to develop an implementable program directed at simultaneously reversing this trend toward a fully eutrophic lake, preserving in-lake water quality, and restoring the lost recreational and aesthetic value of Hammonton Lake. Simultaneous implementation of the following five techniques are recommended for restoration: limited dredging; level control; zoning and land use controls; stormwater management; and continued power boat regulation.

Other specimen examined. JAPAN. Labelled: 1. Handwritten ‘ Luciola Gorhami Ritsema affinis Gorh’; 2 handwritten ‘ Luciola praeusta’; handwritten ‘Yokohama’; 4. Printed ‘Japan G. Lewis 1910-320’. (NHML).
Remarks. Kawashima et al. (2003) ably overviewed the confusion relating to the identification and misidentifications of this species and presented a colour picture of the holotype female. Despite the name they considered it was not from Japan and probably had never been. It is impossible to identify the type female as it belongs to a wide range of S. E. Asian species which have a pale yellowish dorsum with black tipped elytra.
The single male from Japan in NHML was not dissected but appears to be an Abscondita sp. and has pale yellow abdominal tergites, and pale yellow ventrites anterior to the LOs. This would suggest Abscondita perplexa. However it presents a second problem. We are assuming that the Thunberg specimen was mislabelled and actually is not from Japan but from some other S. E. Asian country where Thunberg travelled. Short of suggesting that the species once existed in Japan and has since become extinct, the more likely explanation is that these two specimens were actually mislabelled. Japan reveres its firefly population and it is almost impossible to conceive that the species has gone unnoticed there.

Father Joseph Naayem, based on his experiences and conversations with others, narrates the horrors experienced by the Chaldean Christians prior to World War I at the hands of the Turks. His language is that of one who personally suffered at their hands, and his aim in having the work published was to inform readers in England and the United States of these events that were otherwise not well known specifically with respect to the Chaldeans. He begins with a massacre in Urfa (ancient Edessa), and then moves to other regions. Throughout the narrative, his account is close and personal. The volume will make an important contribution for readers interested in Middle Eastern history and Christianity there.

description: This volume, one of the many to come from the pen of Syriac Catholic Priest Isaac Armalet (1879-1954), contains three epistolary selections. From a manuscript at the Armenian Convent of Bzommar come letters of Joshua bar David (also known as bar Kilo), who is not very well known; he cites numerous 12th-13th century personages. The second portion of the work consists of questions 22-24 from book one of Jacob bar Shakko’s (d. 1241) Dialogue, and the last section contains letters from David de Beth Rabban (fl. second half of 8th cent.). The text is in vocalized Serto. There are general introductions in French and Syriac, and introductions to each section in Syriac; the work concludes with a Syriac-Arabic lexicon.

description: The Chaldean priest Jacob Eugene Manna (1867-1928) was an accomplished Syriac scholar, having been involved with educational and publishing efforts at the Seminary of St. John in Mosul and the Dominican Press. The last in a series of three works dealing with Syriac—the first two were a grammar (1896) and a Syriac-Arabic dictionary (1900, available from Gorgias Press)—the present two volumes, also known under the French title Morceaux choisis de littérature araméenne, constitute a thorough sampling of Syriac literature in various genres and from various time periods, including some lesser-known authors and some works published nowhere else. The text is presented in vocalized east Syriac script, and Manna introduces each author (in Syriac) before giving the text, and each volume concludes with a table of contents listing each selection included. This chrestomathy stands out among the several available for Syriac because of its size, the fact that it is fully vocalized, and the breadth of authors represented.

Delightful Meadows of the Arameans: Selections from Syriac Literature. Volume 2
Creators: name: Mannā, Yaʻqūb Ūjīn
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 1901

description: The Chaldean priest Jacob Eugene Manna (1867-1928) was an accomplished Syriac scholar, having been involved with educational and publishing efforts at the Seminary of St. John in Mosul and the Dominican Press. The last in a series of three works dealing with Syriac—the first two were a grammar (1896) and a Syriac-Arabic dictionary (1900, available from Gorgias Press)—the present two volumes, also known under the French title Morceaux choisis de littérature araméenne, constitute a thorough sampling of Syriac literature in various genres and from various time periods, including some lesser-known authors and some works published nowhere else. The text is presented in vocalized east Syriac script, and Manna introduces each author (in Syriac) before giving the text, and each volume concludes with a table of contents listing each selection included. This chrestomathy stands out among the several available for Syriac because of its size, the fact that it is fully vocalized, and the breadth of authors represented.
Ephraem Syrus on the Repentance of Nineveh: A Metrical Homily on the Mission of Jonah
Creators: name: Ephraem, Syrus
name: Burgess, Henry
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 1853

description: In addition to the long poem named in the title, this volume contains, in English translation, a shorter work entitled “An Exhortation to Repentance,” as well as three very short works on prayer and the “Renunciation of the World.” The translator has also offered several notes to elucidate the texts. A thorough introduction deals specifically with the poem on Nineveh’s repentance, and the book concludes with indices for Syriac words discussed, Scripture, and subjects. Students of Syriac literature and of early Christian literature generally will find the volume an interesting specimen of Ephrem in English.

Year: 1891

description: This volume contains the Ph.D. dissertation of Oskar Braun, who is otherwise especially known for his work on Syriac texts pertaining to the Church of the East. In this work, he offers a German translation of a fascinating work on “psychology” (in the ancient sense of the term, that is dealing with the “soul” in all its characteristics and aspects) from the Syrian Orthodox author Mushe bar Kipho (d. 903). An introduction touching on Mushe’s life, writings, and doctrine begins the book, and it ends with indices for Scriptural references and names mentioned in the work. This text from an author so multi-faceted as Mushe bar Kipho will be welcomed by students of Syriac literature for the variety and depth it adds.

description: Two dimensional (2D) crystals have attracted strong interest as a new class of proton conducting materials that can block atoms, molecules and ions while allowing proton transport through the atomically thin basal planes. Although 2D materials exhibit this perfect selectivity, the reported proton conductivities have been relatively low. Here we show that vacancy-rich titania monolayers are highly permeable to protons while remaining impermeable to helium with proton conductivity exceeding 100 S cm-2 at 200 C and surpassing targets set by industry roadmaps. The fast and selective proton transport is attributed to an extremely high density of titanium-atom vacancies (one per square nm), which effectively turns titania monolayers into angstrom-scale sieves. Our findings highlight the potential of 2D oxides as membrane materials for hydrogen-based technologies.

description: Temperature sensors based on the GeV color center in diamond are gaining considerable attention in both scientific and industrial fields. For widespread industrial adoption, however, these sensors need a design that is as simple and cost-effective as possible. The original sensor design relied on measuring the spectral characteristics of the zero-phonon line. Recently, a modified approach was introduced, which involves splitting the GeV emission with a dichroic mirror and determining temperature based on the ratio of the two resulting signals. In this analysis, we provide a detailed comparison of both methods. At room temperature, the two methods show comparable performance, with slight variations depending on component quality. However, at temperatures around 300 °C, the new method's performance is estimated to be nearly twice that of the original, provided optimal filter parameters are used. Additionally, the sensitivity of the new method remains roughly consistent with its performance at room temperature.

description: Visual scene understanding is a fundamental task in computer vision that aims to extract meaningful information from visual data. It traditionally involves disjoint and specialized algorithms for different tasks that are tailored for specific application scenarios. This can be cumbersome when designing complex systems that include processing of visual and semantic data extracted from visual scenes, which is even more noticeable nowadays with the influx of applications for virtual or augmented reality. When designing a system that employs automatic visual scene understanding to enable a precise and semantically coherent description of the underlying scene, which can be used to fuel a visualization component with 3D virtual synthesis, the lack of flexibility and unified frameworks become more prominent. To alleviate this issue and its inherent problems, we propose an architecture that addresses the challenges of visual scene understanding and description towards a 3D virtual synthesis that enables an adaptable, unified and coherent solution. Furthermore, we expose how our proposition can be of use into multiple application areas. Additionally, we also present a proof of concept system that employs our architecture to further prove its usability in practice.

Papal Authority in the Syrian Church
Creators: name: Armalah, Isḥāq
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 1933

description: In this work, Syrian Catholic priest Isaac Armalet (d. 1954) investigates the subject of papal authority biblically and historically with respect to the Syrian Catholic Church. The book is divided into four parts: 1. The Unity of the Church, 2. The Unity of Authority, 3. The Unity of Petrine Authority in the Era of the Apostles, and 4. The Unity of Papal Succession in Petrine Authority. The first part lays the groundwork for the concept of papal authority, and the second and third parts investigate several biblical passages pertinent to Peter’s position as head of the disciples. The fourth part deals with ecumenical considerations, liturgy and church calendar, as well as specific subsections on Ephrem, Isaac of Antioch, Severus of Antioch, Barhebraeus, Dayr al-Za‘faran, the church in Aleppo, and Syrian Orthodox Patriarch Ignatius Ni‘matullah.
Syriac Grammar and Poetry
Creators: name: Al-Ruzzi, George
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 1897

description: This grammar of Syriac by the Maronite George Al-Ruzzi (Risius), written in Arabic, is divided into four sections: parts 1 and 2 cover, respectively, the noun and verb, section 3 deals with conjunctions, and part 4 with combinations of letters and word structures. An introduction surveys the history of studying Syriac grammar and technical terminology is explained and discussed in the appropriate places throughout the text. Finally, a short outline of Syriac poetic meters with examples and the mention of authors associated with each meter concludes the volume, which will be a welcome addition in Arabic to serious students of Syriac.
