description: There is extensive literature regarding how the American public forms their opinions about military interventions. However, there is not as much to be said with respect to how public support for military withdrawals is influenced. This thesis paper seeks to highlight how question framing surrounding the topic of U.S. military withdrawals affects the level of support for said withdrawals. Looking at a number of different explanatory variables, which ones are found to be the most important drivers of public support for military withdrawal? Utilizing a data set of 392 observations of aggregate survey data that spans from the years of 1950-2021, three linear regression models are developed to help predict how potential question framing affects impact public support for military withdrawal. The results indicate that survey questions regarding the post-9/11 conflicts in both Iraq and Afghanistan have very high levels of support for withdrawal. Contrary to the often-discussed casualties hypothesis, public support for withdrawal decreases when questions mention U.S. military casualties. Survey questions that provided additional response options indicating varying types of withdrawal also were found to have positive effects on overall public support for withdrawal.

description: Reversible deactivation radical polymerization (RDRP) techniques have significantly improved the synthetic feasibility of precise polymer synthesis. Polymers with well-defined molecular weight, molecular weight distributions, chain-end functionalities, and topologies can be prepared by RDRP. RDRP methods can be mediated by reversible halogen atom transfer in an atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP), by degenerative transfer of a chain transfer agent (CTA) in a radical addition-fragmentation transfer polymerization (RAFT) polymerization, and reversible combination of a chain-end radical and a nitroxide and decomposition of the alkoxyamine in a nitroxide mediated polymerization (NMP). The thermodynamics of polymerization dictate whether the RDRP mechanism could be used to polymerize monomers into polymers, or if it is more favorable for polymers to depolymerize to monomers. The work presented in this thesis utilizes principles of all three methods to prepare and degrade polymers with complex topology.

description: Åpenhet og akademisk frihet er hjørnesteiner i et velfungerende forskningssystem. Dette må vi bevare når vi skal bygge et helhetlig nasjonalt forskningssystem som også inkluderer skjermet og gradert forskning. Hvordan skal vi klare å bygge et forskningssystem som er så åpent som mulig og så lukket som nødvendig? Åpen forskning innebærer at forskningen gjøres tilgjengelig og deles av forskere, institusjoner, sektorer og over landegrenser. Det har vært lite fokus på de positive sidene åpen forskning kan ha innen utdanning. Hvordan kan vi motivere til mer forskningsnær utdanning, men også øke kvaliteten på forskningen?

description: This project examines the effect of the United States’ counterinsurgent/counterterror (CT) strikes on civilian attitudes towards the US. I conduct a statistical analysis, utilizing public opinion and attitudes data from the Arab Barometer, drone strike data from New America, and terrorism data from the START database. I take advantage of the timing of the Arab Barometer’s third wave of public opinion surveys and the Obama administration’s drone and airstrike campaign against Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) and Ansar al-Sharia Yemen (ASY) between 2009-13 for a unique research opportunity. Using specific responses from the Arab Barometer survey, I create models to explain Yemeni individuals’ negative attitudes toward the US based on the number of civilians killed by US counterterror strikes in their region. The results of the analysis ultimately show a significant and positive relationship, suggesting that more counterterror violence, especially the death of civilians, negatively affects Yemeni civilians’ perceptions of the United States and increase the respondents’ rate of believing that armed opposition to the US is justified.

description: Ground-based observations show a phase shift in semi-annual variation of excited hydroxyl (OH∗) emissions at mid-latitudes (43∘ N) compared to those at low latitudes. This differs from the annual cycle at high latitudes. We examine this behaviour by utilising an OH∗ airglow model which was incorporated into a 3D chemistry–transport model (CTM). Through this modelling, we study the morphology of the excited hydroxyl emission layer at mid-latitudes (30–50∘ N), and we assess the impact of the main drivers of its semi-annual variation: temperature, atomic oxygen, and air density. We found that this shift in the semi-annual cycle is determined mainly by the superposition of annual variations of temperature and atomic oxygen concentration. Hence, the winter peak for emission is determined exclusively by atomic oxygen concentration, whereas the summer peak is the superposition of all impacts, with temperature taking a leading role.

subject: FOS: Political science

description: The globalization has brought enormous economic benefits to countries and people, while a series of problems such as environmental pollution have emerged and are becoming more and more urgent. Environmental protection has become increasingly important. At the same time, bilateral Investment Treaties (i.e., BITs) became more controversial in the 1990s. Although BITs can facilitate global investment and financial flows, they may also affect host country regulation as well as the protection of public interest. Most of the relevant research is qualitative, such as special doctrinal studies, case studies or descriptive statistics. The studies of impacts of BITs on environmental protection policy has not been as full as we expect. Therefore, this paper estimates the impact of BITs on the stringency of countries' environmental protection policies and greenhouse gas emissions through fixed effects models with 29 countries from 1993-2012. The results suggest that it is meaningful to include more provisions on public interest in BITs when countries are drafting treaties.
A Supreme Motivation: The Drivers of Senate Confirmation Vote Behavior from Bork to Jackson

description: In recent years, the confirmation process of Supreme Court nominees has been more consistently polarized than any other time in our country’s history. This study attempts to answer the research question of what factors influence Senators’ Supreme Court confirmation voting behavior by examining the trends of the Supreme Court confirmation processes starting from Robert Bork — the starting point for the trend of a contested Supreme Court nomination process. This study utilizes logistic regression analysis to examine a unique data set containing information on senators’ party relation to the president, public opinion poll data regarding the nominee, a judicial polarity score for the nominee, the year of the confirmation vote, and the senators’ vote to confirm or reject the nominee for the confirmation hearings of Robert Bork to Ketanji Brown Jackson. Through the methods utilized above, I find that the president’s party in relation to the senator and the public support for a nominee have a significant, positive effect on the probability of a vote to confirm a Supreme Court nominee while the polarity level of a nominee at the time of the confirmation vote has a significant, negative effect on the probability of a vote to confirm a Supreme Court nominee.

description: In the last few decades optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating has become an im-portant tool in geochronological studies. The great advantage of the method, i.e. dating the deposi-tional age of sediments directly, can be impaired by incomplete bleaching of grains. This can result in a scattered distribution of equivalent doses (DE), leading to incorrect estimation of the depositional age. Thoroughly tested protocols as well as good data analysis with adequate statistical methods are important to overcome this problem. In this study, samples from young fluvial sand and flood plain deposits from the Elbe River in northern Germany were investigated to compare its depositional ages from different age models with well-known historical dates. Coarse grain quartz (100-200 μm and 150-250 μm) and polymineral fine grains (4-11 μm) were dated using the single aliquot regenerative (SAR) dose protocol. The paleodose (DP) was calculated from the DE data set using different ap-proaches. Results were compared with the development of the Elbe River, which is well-documented by historical records and maps covering the last 1,000 years. Depending on the statistical approach it can be demonstrated that depositional ages significantly differ from the most likely depositional age. For the investigated coarse grain quartz samples all ages calculated from the MAM-3UL, including their uncertainties, are within the historical documented age. Results of the polymineral fine grain samples are overestimating the historically documented depositional age, indicating undetectable in-complete bleaching. This study shows the importance of using an adequate statistical approach to cal-culate reliable OSL ages from fluvial sediments. © 2013 Silesian University of Technology, Gliwice, Poland.

The Impact of IMF Program on Corruption and Bureaucratic Quality in Developing Nations

description: Nowadays, corruption plays an important role in both national and international stages by influencing the economy, politics, and international relations. From the global perspective, international organizations usually step in to assist developing nations with foreign aid to develop their infrastructure and basic facilities. International Monetary Fund (IMF) has an impactful power to foster global financial cooperation and secure the economic stability of developing nations. Therefore, currently, there is debate on whether the participation of the IMF can reduce corruption or cause more corrupt behaviors. In this research, I propose bureaucratic quality as a key political indicator in the relationship between corruption and attending IMF programs aligning with functionalism in political psychology. I choose bureaucratic quality because, in general, high bureaucratic quality reflects strong government effectiveness with less corruption. Furthermore, this research aims to see if IMF programs can advance or weaken the bureaucratic quality of developing nations. In order to test it, I raise two hypotheses. H1: participation in IMF programs will increase corruption in developing nations. H2: Attending IMF programs will decrease the bureaucratic qualities of developing nations. To examine them, I conduct quantitative research in data analysis using a dataset covering 178 developing nations from 1971 to 2014. I find that both H1 and H2 are confirmed that attending IMF programs will actually increase corruption by weakening the bureaucratic quality. Moreover, there is an interaction between bureaucratic quality and IMF programs in the level of impact on corruption for developing nations. In the academic field,the findings point out that the effectiveness of IMF programs depends on the level of bureaucratic quality, and it does not always reduce corruption in developing nations. A high bureaucratic quality can have more corruption by attending IMF programs since corruption does not means the project will be destroyed. In fact, the mission can be done effectively and timely to cover the corruption according to functionalism. It points out the importance of political psychology in studying such complicated problem. In practice, these findings emphasize that governments from developing nations should realize that bureaucratic quality and corruption do not always cancel each other when governments seek to increase bureaucratic quality and reduce corruption simultaneously. This research is unique in a combination of theory: functionalism, and a quantitative method: Inverse Probability Treatment Weighting, which has not been applied in previous works.

description: We present a novel data set of subnational economic output, Gross Regional Product (GRP), for more than 1500 regions in 77 countries that allows us to empirically estimate historic climate impacts at different time scales. Employing annual panel models, long-difference regressions and cross-sectional regressions, we identify effects on productivity levels and productivity growth. We do not find evidence for permanent growth rate impacts but we find robust evidence that temperature affects productivity levels considerably. An increase in global mean surface temperature by about 3.5°C until the end of the century would reduce global output by 7–14% in 2100, with even higher damages in tropical and poor regions. Updating the DICE damage function with our estimates suggests that the social cost of carbon from temperature-induced productivity losses is on the order of 73–142$/tCO2 in 2020, rising to 92–181$/tCO2 in 2030. These numbers exclude non-market damages and damages from extreme weather events or sea-level rise. © 2020 The Authors
Extremal decomposition for random Gibbs measures: from general metastates to metastates on extremal random Gibbs measures

description: The concept of metastate measures on the states of a random spin system was introduced to be able to treat the large-volume asymptotics for complex quenched random systems, like spin glasses, which may exhibit chaotic volume dependence in the strong-coupling regime. We consider the general issue of the extremal decomposition for Gibbsian specifications which depend measurably on a parameter that may describe a whole random environment in the infinite volume. Given a random Gibbs measure, as a measurable map from the environment space, we prove measurability of its decomposition measure on pure states at fixed environment, with respect to the environment. As a general corollary we obtain that, for any metastate, there is an associated decomposition metastate, which is supported on the extremes for almost all environments, and which has the same barycenter.

description: We present an electron tomography method for the comprehensive characterization of buried III-V semiconductor interfaces that is based on chemical-sensitive high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy. For this purpose, an (Al,Ga)As/GaAs multi-layer system grown by molecular beam epitaxy is used as a case study. Isoconcentration surfaces are exploited to obtain topographic height maps of 120 nm × 120 nm area, revealing the interface morphology. By applying the height-height correlation function, we are able to determine important interface properties like root mean square roughness and lateral correlation length of various interfaces of the (Al,Ga)As/GaAs system characterized by different Al concentrations. Height-difference maps based on isosurfaces corresponding to 30% and 70% of the total compositional difference at the interfaces are used to create topographic maps of the interface width and to calculate an average interface width. This methodology proves differences in the properties of direct and inverted interfaces and allows the observation of interfacial anisotropies. © 2021

description: In the framework of the Fennec international programme, a field campaign was conducted in June 2011 over the western Sahara. It led to the first observational data set ever obtained that documents the dynamics, thermodynamics and composition of the Saharan atmospheric boundary layer (SABL) under the influence of the heat low. In support to the aircraft operation, four dust forecasts were run daily at low and high resolutions with convection-parameterizing and convection-permitting models, respectively. The unique airborne and ground-based data sets allowed the first ever intercomparison of dust forecasts over the western Sahara. At monthly scale, large aerosol optical depths (AODs) were forecast over the Sahara, a feature observed by satellite retrievals but with different magnitudes. The AOD intensity was correctly predicted by the high-resolution models, while it was underestimated by the low-resolution models. This was partly because of the generation of strong near-surface wind associated with thunderstorm-related density currents that could only be reproduced by models representing convection explicitly. Such models yield emissions mainly in the afternoon that dominate the total emission over the western fringes of the Adrar des Iforas and the Aïr Mountains in the high-resolution forecasts. Over the western Sahara, where the harmattan contributes up to 80 % of dust emission, all the models were successful in forecasting the deep well-mixed SABL. Some of them, however, missed the large near-surface dust concentration generated by density currents and low-level winds. This feature, observed repeatedly by the airborne lidar, was partly forecast by one high-resolution model only.

description: The economic assessment of the impacts of storm surges and sea-level rise in coastal cities requires high-level information on the damage and protection costs associated with varying flood heights. We provide a systematically and consistently calculated dataset of macroscale damage and protection cost curves for the 600 largest European coastal cities opening the perspective for a wide range of applications. Offering the first comprehensive dataset to include the costs of dike protection, we provide the underpinning information to run comparative assessments of costs and benefits of coastal adaptation. Aggregate cost curves for coastal flooding at the city-level are commonly regarded as by-products of impact assessments and are generally not published as a standalone dataset. Hence, our work also aims at initiating a more critical discussion on the availability and derivation of cost curves.

title: Reflected diffusions and piecewise diffusion approximations of Levy processes
Creators: name: Bernhardt, Thomas
Publisher: name: London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE)
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Q Science
subject: QA Mathematics

description: In the first part of the thesis, the solvability of stochastic differential equations with reflecting boundary conditions is studied. Such equations arise in singular stochastic control problems as a way for determining the optimal strategies. The stochastic differential equations represent homogeneous one-dimensional diffusions while the boundaries are given by c`adl`ag functions. Pathwise solutions are constructed under mild assumptions on the coefficients of the equations. In particular, the solutions are derived as the diffusions’ scale functions composed with appropriately time-changed reflected Brownian motions. Several probabilistic properties are addressed and analysed.
 In the second part of the thesis, piecewise diffusion approximations of Levy processes are studied. Such approximating processes have been called Itˆo semi-diffusions. While keeping the statistical fit to Levy processes, this class of processes has the analytical tractability of Ito diffusions. At a given time grid, their distribution is the same as the one of the underlying Levy processes. At times outside the grid, they evolve like homogeneous diffusions. The analysis identifies conditions under which Itˆo semi-diffusions can be used as an alternative to Levy processes for modelling financial asset prices. In particular, for a sequence of Itˆo semi-diffusions determined by a given Levy process, conditions for the convergence of their finite-dimensional distributions to the ones of the Levy process are established. Furthermore, for a single Ito semi-diffusion, conditions for the existence of pricing measures are established.

description: One essential task in bioprocess development is strain selection. A common screening procedure consists of three steps: first, the picking of colonies; second, the execution of a batch preculture and main culture, e.g., in microtiter plates (MTPs); and third, the evaluation of product formation. Especially during the picking step, unintended variations occur due to undefined amounts and varying viability of transferred cells. The aim of this study is to demonstrate that the application of polymer-based controlled-release fed-batch MTPs during preculture eliminates these variations. The concept of equalizing growth through fed-batch conditions during preculture is theoretically discussed and then tested in a model system, namely, a cellulase-producing Escherichia coli clone bank containing 32 strains. Preculture is conducted once in the batch mode and once in the fed-batch mode. By applying the fed-batch mode, equalized growth is observed in the subsequent main culture. Furthermore, the standard deviation of cellulase activity is reduced compared to that observed in the conventional approach. Compared with the strains in the batch preculture process, the first-ranked strain in the fed-batch preculture process is the superior cellulase producer. These findings recommend the application of the fed-batch MTPs during preculture in high-throughput screening processes to achieve accurate and reliable results. © 2019 The Authors.

description: Serrated plastic deformation is an intense phenomenon in CoCrFeMnNi at and below 35 K with stress amplitudes in excess of 100 MPa. While previous publications have linked serrated deformation to dislocation pile ups at Lomer–Cottrell (LC) locks, there exist two alternate models on how the transition from continuous to serrated deformation occurs. One model correlates the transition to an exponential LC lock density–temperature variation. The second model attributes the transition to a decrease in cross-slip propensity based on temperature and dislocation density. In order to evaluate the validity of the models, a unique tensile deformation procedure with multiple temperature changes was carried out, analyzing stress amplitudes subsequent to temperature changes. The analysis provides evidence that the apparent density of LC locks does not massively change with temperature. Instead, the serrated plastic deformation is likely related to cross-slip propensity.

description: This paper considers a set of twisted line segments in 3d such that they form a knot (a closed curve) or a link of two closed curves. Such line segments appear on the boundary of a family of 3d indecomposable polyhedra (like the Schönhardt polyhedron) whose interior cannot be tetrahedralised without additional vertices added. On the other hand, a 3d (non-convex) polyhedron whose boundary contains such line segments may still be decomposable as long as the twist is not too large. It is therefore interesting to consider the question: when there exists a tetrahedralisation contains a given set of knotted or linked line segments? In this paper, we studied a simplified question with the assumption that all vertices of the line segments are in convex position. It is straightforward to show that no tetrahedralisation of 6 vertices (the three-line-segments case) can contain a trefoil knot. Things become interesting when the number of line segments increases. Since it is necessary to create new interior edges to form a tetrahedralisation. We provided a detailed analysis for the case of a set of 4 line segments. This leads to a crucial condition on the orientation of pairs of new interior edges which determines whether this set is decomposable or not. We then prove a new theorem about the decomposability for a set of n (n ≥ 3) knotted or linked line segments. This theorem implies that the family of polyhedra generalised from the Schonhardt polyhedron by Rambau [1] are all indecomposable.

With decreasing temperature, cooperative hydrogen bonding overcomes repulsive electrostatic interaction. The resulting cyclic tetramers nicely resemble well-known molecular clusters of alcohols.

description: Adult EFL learners increasingly find themselves working through languagefocused tasks alone, either because they are following a flipped classroom approach where such tasks are assigned for self-study, or because they are physically separated from other learners in socially distanced or online classrooms. Rooted in a Vygotskian (1978, 1987) sociocultural framework, the present classroom study assesses this shift away from communicative collaboration towards individual study by comparing classroom pairwork with individual task completion in terms of a) learners’ languaging, the “process of making meaning and shaping knowledge” (Swain 2006, p. 98) observable in learners’ Language-Related Episodes (LREs), and b) the learning of forms topicalised in LREs, as measured by post-tests. Findings indicate that while individual LRE numbers did not differ significantly from LREs initiated by each learner in pairs, dyadic learners benefitted from the additive effect of two learners identifying different language issues. LREs resolved correctly and LREs characterised by elaborate engagement (evidencing self-regulation strategies) did not differ significantly between modes. While all learners generally responded to post-test items in agreement with LRE resolutions, dyadic learners attempted fewer items relating to their LREs, suggesting that learners in dyads may not always listen to or learn from each other. Pedagogical recommendations are proposed.

description: The chemical modification (namely the epoxidation) of a star shaped block copolymer (BCP) based on polystyrene (PS) and polybutadiene (PB) and its effect on structural and mechanical properties of the polymer were investigated. Epoxidation degrees of 37 mol%, 58 mol%, and 82 mol% were achieved by the reaction of the copolymer with meta-chloroperoxy benzoic acid (m-CPBA) under controlled conditions. The BCP structure was found to change from lamellae-like to mixed-type morphologies for intermediate epoxidation level while leading to quite ordered cylindrical structures for the higher level of chemical modification. As a consequence, the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the soft PB component of the BCP shifted towards significantly higher temperature. A clear increase in tensile modulus and tensile strength with a moderate decrease in elongation at break was observed. The epoxidized BCPs are suitable as reactive templates for the fabrication of nanostructured thermosetting resins.

description: A new species of the family Seguenziidae Verrill, 1884 was discovered during dredging on the continental slope off northeastern Brazil. This species is described herein based on conchological features. Ancistrobasis zumbii sp. nov. is similar to A. costulata (Watson, 1879) and A. depressa (Dall, 1889) in having flattened whorls increasing regularly (except for the last whorl, which enlarges conspicuously), an inner lip with a rounded denticle and a funnel-shaped umbilicus. Ancistrobasis zumbii differs primarily in possessing a slight suprasutural angulation, slight axial ribs on the first teleoconch whorls and smooth, slightly undulated spiral threads.

description: The diet of the black goby, Gobius niger in the Gulf of Gabes (Southern Tunisia) was described from analysis of stomach contents of 1055 specimens. Samples were collected monthly by trawls from February 2009 to January 2010. In the laboratory, the total length (TL) was measured and prey items in the stomach contents were identified to large taxonomic groups. Overall, 654 stomachs were empty (%VI = 62). This vacuity index differed significantly across months, between sexes and among size classes. Gobius niger mostly preyed on crustaceans (%IRI = 48.35) and molluscs (%IRI = 46.75). Fishes were secondary prey item (%IRI = 4.62). Polychaetes and echinoderms were occasional preys. Significant differences in diet were observed in relation to sex. A correlation between predator size and the frequency of occurrence of some prey items was found. Moreover, a seasonal study of the diet showed significant differences in the contribution of crustaceans, molluscs and teleosts during certain times of the year. The trophic level ranged between 3.51 (winter) and 3.59 (spring), between 3.54 for (TL ≤ 10 cm) and 3.57 for (TL > 11.4 cm). This level was of 3.54 and 3.56 for females and males respectively. Based on the composition of its diet, Gobius nigermay be characterized as an omnivorous fish with preference for animal preys. In addition, information on the diet composition of black goby in other areas of its distribution was col- lected and trophic levels were compared.

description: Cerebral ganglion of Glycera convoluta has been studied by silver-impregnation technics; this method enabled the author to describe the general anatomy of this organ which gives rise to six pairs of nerves and to a single root on each side of the circum-oesophagealconnective. The fine structure of the outer wrapping capsule seems to be very close to this described in the Insects and induces further comparison in this prospect. Seventeen nuclei were numbered in the brain after histological technics, the arrangement of commissures and tractus was also demonstrated.
The saccular apparatus as previously described in Glycera dibranchiata was found to present the same characteristics in Glyceraconvoluta. The cellular bundles lying alongside the total length of the prostomium were found to present secretory activity.
