description: This dissertation closely examines the concept of "seapower" and establishes the global role of the Soviet Navy, using the U.S. Navy as a standard of comparison. Chapter I defines key seapower terms, discusses seapower definitions of Alfred Thayer Mahan and Adm. Sergei G. Gorshkov, and describes unique features of seapower pertinent to the superpower navies. Chapter II discusses strategic concepts in designing state seapower, including the function of threat and risk assessment. It examines Soviet-U.S. seapower expansion from standpoints of the Graham Allison Rational Policy, Organizational Process, and Bureaucratic Politics models. Chapter III describes influences of maritime geography on seapower, while discussing the severe geographic handicaps the Soviet Navy faces. It discusses ways both superpowers are alleviating adverse geographic effects through technologic, policy, legal, and economic means. Chapter IV compares the seapower thought of Mahan and Gorshkov. It discusses seapower concepts of "components" or "elements," fleet against fleet and fleet against shore, "control of the sea," and gospodstvo na more (dominance at sea). Chapter V defines "seapower presence" and analyzes some relevant models: "gunboat diplomacy" (James Cable), "naval presence" (Stansfield Turner), "naval diplomacy" (Brad Dismukes and James McConnell), and "the protection of state interests" (Gorshkov). It uses an equation to compare Soviet-U.S. seapower presence strengths and weaknesses. Chapter VI examines the Law of the Sea and other legal influences on seapower, noting that law is, paradoxically, eroding seapower through restricting its mobility and access, while generating grounds for increased oceanic dispute. It notes that superpower oceanic legal interests have considerable similarities, general and specific. Chapter VII discussed views of Soviet strategists Sokolovskiy, Grechko, and Gorshkov on Soviet Navy strategy and missions. It defines these missions as strategic strike, strategic defense, dominance at sea, maritime interdiction, protection of shipping, support of ground forces, and seapower presence. It compares them with U.S. Navy missions. Chapter VIII postulates continuing Soviet-U.S. World Ocean competition into the twenty-first century. It discussses such future trends as expanding internationalism, increasing oceanic legal complexities, and accelerating development of new technologies useful in the World Ocean.

description: What needs to be noted is the smooth and effective convergence of the ancient system of village republics and the modern state, through the appropriation of the hegemony generated by the former. The term ‘ārāiyan’ mentioned above gives an interesting insight into this process. Ārāiyan rose from the ranks of udayan in Tamiḷ country, equivalent of odeya or gāvuḍ in the Kannaḍ domain; or gāuḍô in Kōṁkṇī. They essentially belonged to the kur community, which includes kuṁḷbī, kuṇbi, kurmi, kurambī, kuḍūbi, kurṇi, kanbi, kurūbā, kurūmbā, etc. There is not much information available about the rise of ārāiyan in Tamiḷ territory. But arasu, its equivalent in Kannaḍ, can be traced throughout the history. Aluvarasa I (Aluva+arasu = the arasu of Aluva) was a king from the Alupa (Aluva) dynasty who ruled in the early 7th century. The kingdom he ruled was known as Alvakheda Arusasira - the ‘kingdom (principality) of the arasu of Aluva’. The Alupas were initially an independent principality, but later became feudatory to the Kadambas, Chalukyas, Rashtrakutas and Hoysalas. But there were other arasu who were not as successful. The Vaddarse inscription of Aluvarasa I mentions nāṭu-mudime (headmanship of an nāḍu) held by a certain Gundannarasa (possibly the arasu of Gundanna). Similarly the Kigga inscription of the same king makes a mention of Kundavarmarasa. Two arasu families which prevailed into the 20th century were the Wodeyars of Mysore and the Arasus of Kalale; Kalale is a village in Nanjangud taluk of Mysore. According to the Mysore Tribes And Castes, there were 31 arasu families. [Nanjudayya & Iyer, 1928 : Mysore Tribes And Castes, Vol 2, 47]

description: Any candidate theory of quantum gravity must address the breakdown of the classical smooth manifold picture of space-time at distances comparable to the Planck length. String theory, in contrast, is formulated on conventional space-time. However, we show that in the low energy limit, the dynamics of generally curved Dirichlet p-branes possess an extended local isometry group, which can be absorbed into the brane geometry as an almost product structure. The induced kinematics encode two invariant scales, namely a minimal length and a maximal speed, without breaking general covariance. Quantum gravity effects on D-branes at low energy are then seen to manifest themselves by the kinematical effects of a maximal acceleration. Experimental and theoretical implications of such new kinematics are easily derived. We comment on consequences for brane world phenomenology.

description: Super-resolution optical microscopy is a rapidly evolving scientific field dedicated to imaging sub-wavelength sized objects, leaving its mark in multiple branches of biology and technology. While several super-resolution optical microscopy methods have become a common tool in life science imaging, new methods, supported by cutting-edge technology, continue to emerge. One rather recent addition to the super-resolution toolbox, image scanning microscopy (ISM), achieves an up to twofold lateral resolution enhancement in a robust and straightforward manner. To further enhance ISM's resolution in all three dimensions, we present and experimentally demonstrate here super-resolution optical fluctuation image scanning microscopy (SOFISM). Measuring the fluorescence fluctuation contrast in an ISM architecture, we obtain images with a x2.5 lateral resolution beyond the diffraction limit along with an enhanced axial resolution for a fixed cell sample labeled with commercially available quantum dots. The inherent temporal averaging of the ISM technique enables image acquisition of the fluctuation correlation contrast within millisecond scale pixel dwell times. SOFISM can therefore offer a robust path to achieve high resolution images within a slightly modified confocal microscope, using standard fluorescent labels and within reasonable acquisition times.

description: An accurate theoretical template for the galaxy power spectrum is a key for the success of ongoing and future spectroscopic surveys. We examine to what extent the Effective Field Theory of Large Scale Structure is able to provide such a template and correctly estimate cosmological parameters. To that end, we initiate a blinded challenge to infer cosmological parameters from the redshift-space power spectrum of high-resolution mock catalogs mimicking the BOSS galaxy sample but covering a hundred times larger cumulative volume. This gigantic simulation volume allows us to separate systematic bias due to theoretical modeling from the statistical error due to sample variance. The challenge task was to measure three unknown input parameters used in the simulation: the Hubble constant, the matter density fraction, and the clustering amplitude. We present analyses done by two independent teams, who have fitted the mock simulation data generated by yet another independent group. This allows us to avoid any confirmation bias by analyzers and pin down possible tuning of the specific EFT implementations. Both independent teams have recovered the true values of the input parameters within sub-percent statistical errors corresponding to the total simulation volume.

A SUBSTITUTE FOR VICTORY? FICTIONAL PORTRAITS OF THE AMERICAN SOLDIER AND COMBAT IN VIETNAM
Creators: name: Stringer, Jr., Kenneth Thompson
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: The Vietnam War was the United States's longest military conflict, a war marked by bitter controversy, painful divisiveness, and by the fact that it was the first major war America had ever lost. In the fictional portraits of combat in Vietnam are indispensable sources for understanding and explaining the moral experience of fighting in such a war--of "what is was like" for the individual American soldier engaged in combat in a protracted, unpopular, and ultimately unsuccessful, conflict. This dissertation examines a representative selection of novels and films that reflect the various moral perceptions of and responses to, the American military effort in Southeast Asia, focusing specifically on the manner in which such works depict the war itself and the American soldier in combat. What has emerged thus far as the cultural legacy of the Vietnam War is a diverse set of fictional images that illustrate how combat in Vietnam challenged some of the most cherished beliefs about the United States's role in war and its soldiers' conduct on the battlefields. Radically different from the predominant fictional response to America's past wars, the cultural legacy of the conflict in Vietnam may indicate an important change in the popular perception of warfare and combat, and may well serve as a substitute for the victory America failed to achieve in Vietnam.
New limits on the generation of magnetic field

Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: Magnetic fields are generated in ionized objects rotating with respect to a radiation background. Based on conservation of canonical ion momentum, it has been previously suggested that even if the radiation intensity is unrestricted the maximum field strength generated this way is ~(10^{-4}Ω) Gauss, where Ωis the initial angular velocity of the object. We show that this limit is valid only for an object made of fully ionized and optically thin plasma. The limit can be relaxed by orders of magnitude in the presence of a high neutral fraction or if the plasma is coupled to other forms of matter such as stars or compact clouds.

description: We consider a system of two coupled KdV equations (one for left-movers, the other for right-movers) and investigate its ultra-relativistic and non-relativistic limits in the sense of BMS$_3$/GCA$_2$ symmetry. We show that there is no local ultra-relativistic limit of the system with positive energy, regardless of the coupling constants in the original relativistic Hamiltonian. By contrast, local non-relativistic limits with positive energy exist, provided there is a non-zero coupling between left- and right-movers. In these limits, the wave equations reduce to Hirota-Satsuma dynamics (of type IV) and become integrable. This is thus a situation where input from high-energy physics contributes to nonlinear science - in this case, uncovering the limiting relation between integrable structures of KdV and Hirota-Satsuma.

THERAPIST ATTRIBUTION OF CLIENT RESPONSIBILITY FOLLOWING MILD AND SEVERE SUICIDE ATTEMPTS
Creators: name: Sussmann, Susan M.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This investigation examined the judgments made by psychotherapists about suicidal clients, concentrating on the effects of environmental constraint and severity of suicide attempt. Subjects were 100 psychologists, psychiatrists, and social workers with a mean of 10.07 years of experience. Subjects responded to four case descriptions of clients who had made suicide attempts with ratings of client responsibility and client preference. Independent variables were locus/controllability of client presenting complaint (at levels of external/uncontrollable and internal/controllable) and severity of suicide attempt (at levels of mild and severe). Dependent variables were ratings of (1) client responsibility for cause of problem, (2) client responsibility for solution to problem, (3) client attractiveness, and (4) willingness to accept client into treatment. The influence of subjects' general beliefs about client responsibility on responsibility attributions were also examined. Results revealed that both environmental constraint and severity of suicide attempt were potent influences on the judgments of clinicians. Adverse environmental circumstances acted to decrease the responsibility attributed to the client for the cause of her problem, but did not affect attributions of responsibility for finding solutions. Environmental constraint also enhanced client attractiveness and increased therapist willingness to offer treatment. Increased severity of suicide attempt decreased attributions of client responsibility for solution to problems, but did not influence judgments of responsibility for cause. In addition, increased severity of attempt diminished both client attractiveness and willingness to offer psychotherapy. Finally, subjects showed consistency in their responsibility attributions across clients, but these were unrelated to statements of their general beliefs. Findings suggest that psychotherapists attribute responsibility much as do laymen and in accord with accepted attributional principles. It is proposed that locus/controllability and severity of suicide attempt both influence therapist helping behavior, to the detriment of certain clients. These findings are evaluated with regard to attributional models of helping behavior, with suggestions made for revisions.
ROBY: a Tool for Robustness Analysis of Neural Network Classifiers
Creators: name: Gargantini Angelo
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2021

description: Classification using Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) is widely applied in critical domains, such as autonomous driving and in the medical practice; therefore, their validation is extremely important. A common approach consists in assessing the network robustness, i.e., its ability to correctly classify input data that is particularly challenging for classification. We recently proposed a robustness definition that considers input data degraded by alterations that may occur in reality; the approach was originally devised for image classification in the medical domain. In this paper, we extend the definition of robustness to any type of input for which some alterations can be defined. Then, we present ROBY, a tool for ROBustness analYsis of ANNs. The tool accepts different types of data (images, sounds, text, etc.) stored either locally or on Google Drive. The user can use some alterations provided by the tool, or define their own. The robustness computation can be performed either locally or remotely on colab. The tool has been experimented for robustness computation of image and sound classifiers, used in the medical and automotive domains.

Currents and the Energy-Momentum Tensor in Classical Field Theory: A fresh look at an Old Problem

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: We give a comprehensive review of various methods to define currents and the energy-momentum tensor in classical field theory, with emphasis on a geometric point of view. The necessity of ``improving'' the expressions provided by the canonical Noether procedure is addressed and given an adequate geometric framework. The main new ingredient is the explicit formulation of a principle of ``ultralocality'' with respect to the symmetry generators, which is shown to fix the ambiguity inherent in the procedure of improvement and guide it towards a unique answer: when combined with the appropriate splitting of the fields into sectors, it leads to the well-known expressions for the current as the variational derivative of the matter field Lagrangian with respect to the gauge field and for the energy-momentum tensor as the variational derivative of the matter field Lagrangian with respect to the metric tensor. In the second case, the procedure is shown to work even when the matter field Lagrangian depends explicitly on the curvature, thus establishing the correct relation between scale invariance, in the form of local Weyl invariance ``on shell'', and tracelessness of the energy-momentum tensor, required for a consistent definition of the concept of a conformal field theory.

How Does Fuzzing Techniques Perform in Real Industrial Settings?

description: Fuzzing is a promising method for discovering vulnerabilities. Recently, various techniques are developed to improve the efficiency of fuzzing, and impressive gains are observed in evaluation results. However, evaluation is complex, as many factors affect the results, for example, test suites, baseline and metrics.
 Even more, most experiment setups are lab-oriented, lacking industrial settings such as large code-base and parallel runs. The correlation between the academic evaluation results and the bug-finding ability in real industrial settings has not been sufficiently studied.

 In this paper, we test representative fuzzing techniques to reveal their efficiency in industrial settings. First, we apply typical fuzzers on academic widely used small projects from LAVA-M suite. We also apply the same fuzzers on large practical projects from Google's fuzzer-test-suite, which is rarely used in academic settings. Both experiments are performed in both single and parallel run.
 By analyzing the results, we found that most optimizations working well on LAVA-M suite fail to achieve satisfying results on Google's fuzzer-test-suite (e.g. compared to AFL, QSYM detects 82x more synthesized bugs in LAVA-M, but only detects 26% real bugs in Google's fuzzer-test-suite), and the original AFL even outperforms most academic optimization variants in industry widely used parallel runs (e.g. AFL covers 13% more paths than AFLFast).

 Then, we summarize common pitfalls of those optimizations, analyze the corresponding root causes, and propose potential directions such as orchestrations and synchronization to overcome the problems. For example, when running in parallel on those large practical projects, the proposed horizontal orchestration could cover 36%-82% more paths, and discover 46%-150% more unique crashes or bugs, compared to fuzzers such as AFL, FairFuzz and QSYM.

description: The purpose of this study was to determine the attitudes (expectations) of faculty teaching non-credit courses and/or programs in a sample of community colleges in the state of Maryland toward 37 selected institutional practices. Findings were interpreted regarding the improvement of the status and teaching performance of non-credit faculty in these community colleges. Each of seven research questions asked what the expectations of non-credit faculty are for institutional practices in a specific area: administrative support, communications, instructional development, committee and faculty group, personnel, professional growth and development, student services. All 548 non-credit faculty under contract as of February 1, 1984 at four institutions selected by the researcher from among the 17 Maryland community colleges comprised the study population. Each study college represented a geographic service area on a continuum of rural-suburban-urban. Of this total population, 428 responded to two instruments developed by the researcher. The Non-credit Faculty Personal Data Questionnaire (NFPDQ) asks non-credit faculty about certain personal characteristics. The Institutional Practices Attitude Inventory (IPAI) asks non-credit faculty the extent of their agreement toward 37 institutional practices as an appropriate expectation of non-credit faculty in a community college. A five point Likert-type scale was used for the response criteria. Responses were computed and reported in terms of frequencies, means, and standard deviations. Study findings indicated non-credit faculty held highest expectations for practices which related most directly to delivery of instruction, i.e. media use, textbook and library selections. Their lowest expectations were for practices which involved a time commitment to the college beyond classroom hours, i.e. office hours, advising, and recruitment. It was found that non-credit faculty expectations for certain fringe benefits (grievance, health, insurance, sick leave, tuition reimbursement) differed notably among college subsamples suggesting that such practices must be considered on an individual college basis. Based upon study results, it was concluded that non-credit faculty want to teach, and they want their institution to support them in their teaching role. They do not appear to have strong expectations to perform non-teaching functions. They see their role in college governance confined essentially to the non-credit area, not campus-wide.

description: We consider a quantum system with a finite number of distinguishable quantum states, which may be partitioned freely by a number of quantum particles, assumed to be maximally entangled. We show that if we partition the system into a number of qudits, then the Hilbert space dimension is maximized when each quantum particle is allowed to represent a qudit of order $e$. We demonstrate that the dimensionality of an entangled system, constrained by the total number quantum states, partitioned so as to maximize the number of qutrits will always exceed the dimensionality of other qudit partitioning. We then show that if we relax the requirement of partitioning the system into qudits, but instead let the particles exist in any given state, that the Hilbert space dimension is greatly increased.

description: We discuss the specificity of the interactions of the electroweak gauge boson excitations in models with warped extra dimensions. In particular, we show that the couplings of the gauge boson excitations $W^{\prime}$, $Z^{\prime}$, and $γ^\prime$ to the SM gauge bosons treated as the zero modes of the 5D gauge fields are either exactly equal to zero or very much suppressed. In the former case, the three-particle and four-particle interaction Lagrangians of the SM gauge bosons and their lowest excitations are found explicitly. Meanwhile, the couplings of $W^{\prime}$, $Z^{\prime}$, and $γ^\prime$ to the SM fermions are non-zero allowing for their production and decays. These are the characteristic features of the gauge boson excitations in models with warped extra dimensions, which distinguish them from the gauge boson excitations in other models beyond the SM.
BLACK EXODUS AND WHITE MIGRATION, 1950 TO 1970: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF POPULATION MOVEMENTS AND THEIR RELATIONS TO LABOR AND RACE RELATIONS
Creators: name: Dennis, Sam Joseph
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This study critically reviews and partially reassesses the sociological theories of migration, labor relations, and race relations. The specific concerns of this study are: (1) internal migration of White and Black Americans in the United States between 1950 and 1970 and (2) the relationship of this migration to labor relations and race relations. Black and White population movements are compared. Two major hypotheses are presented and tested in an effort to determine the cause(s) of migration, and two major perspectives, classical functionalism and neo-Marxism, are analytically reviewed. The study is in the nature of a sociological investigation operating within the classical conceptual parameters of Durkheim, Tonnies, Weber, and Marx. Research methods used are: (1) critical review and comparative analysis of historical and sociological literature; (2) trend analysis of census data using descriptive statistics of Black and White migration; and (3) examination of the influence of variables such as income, education, and race on migration. This examination of migration from the historically polarized perspectives of functionalist and neo-Marxist thought finds gaps and flaws in both views of migration and suggests the need of new theoretical frameworks and the inclusion of new sources of data in order to produce new insights. For example, much of the traditionally accepted literature on migration, race relations and labor relations in sociology has not acknowledged the findings of Afro-American scholars until very recently. Conceding that while the causes of migration are ultimately economic, the study finds that social and political factors may take precedence, especially for non-dominant groups such as Blacks. Whites migrated from Mississippi to Chicago between 1950-1970 largely for economic reasons; Blacks did so primarily for social and political reasons, as an escape from repression and violence. The study develops and explores the concept of "Exodus," derived in part from the Old Testament and compatible with classical sociological thought, in an effort to provide a useful addition to the theory and knowledge of internal migration, particularly of Black populations.

description: The existence of a magnetic monopole, if it exists, remains elusive. Experimental searches have been carried out and are continuing in this quest. Of great uncertainty is the mass of the monopole which is model-dependent and ranging from some Grand Unified scale to the electroweak scale. In this paper, we propose a model where topologically stable, finite-energy monopoles {\em à la} 't Hooft-Polyakov could exist with a mass proportional to the electroweak scale. This comes about in a model of neutrino masses where right-handed neutrinos are {\em non-sterile} whose electroweak-scale Majorana masses are obtained by the coupling to a complex {\em triplet} Higgs field. Custodial symmetry which insures $M_W=M_Z \cos θ_W$ requires the introduction of another triplet Higgs field but {\em real} this time. It is this {\em real Higgs triplet} that is at the core of our proposal.

description: The enrichment of Fe, relative to alpha-elements such as O and Mg, represents a potential means to determine the age of quasars and probe the galaxy formation epoch. To explore how \ion{Fe}{2} emission in quasars is linked to physical conditions and abundance, we have constructed a 830-level \ion{Fe}{2} model atom and investigated through photoionization calculations how \ion{Fe}{2} emission strengths depend on non-abundance factors. We have split \ion{Fe}{2} emission into three major wavelength bands, \ion{Fe}{2} (UV), \ion{Fe}{2}(Opt1), and \ion{Fe}{2}(Opt2), and explore how the \ion{Fe}{2}(UV)/\ion{Mg}{2}, \ion{Fe}{2}(UV)/\ion{Fe}{2}(Opt1) and \ion{Fe}{2}(UV)/\ion{Fe}{2}(Opt2) emission ratios depend upon hydrogen density and ionizing flux in broad-line regions (BLR's) of quasars. Our calculations show that: 1) similar \ion{Fe}{2}(UV)/\ion{Mg}{2} ratios can exist over a wide range of physical conditions; 2) the \ion{Fe}{2}(UV)/\ion{Fe}{2}(Opt1) and \ion{Fe}{2}(UV)/\ion{Fe}{2}(Opt2) ratios serve to constrain ionizing luminosity and hydrogen density; and 3) flux measurements of \ion{Fe}{2} bands and knowledge of ionizing flux provide tools to derive distances to BLR's in quasars. To derive all BLR physical parameters with uncertainties, comparisons of our model with observations of a large quasar sample at low redshift ($z<1$) is desirable. The STIS and NICMOS spectrographs aboard the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) offer the best means to provide such observations.

description: This dissertation analyzes constitutionalism in six selected countries of East Asia and Latin America that have experienced coup d'etat or military governments during their development, using the United States of America in its "era of establishment" as a model. The analysis has utilized the template or ideograph of society suggested by Fred Warren Riggs in his Theory of Prismatic Society, in order to compare the several selected countries. Our focus has been upon the elements that exist within the society and that state's policies militating for effective constitutionalism, or leading another way. The research methods involved intensive historical analysis of the selected countries, from Northeast Asia, Southeast Asia, and Latin America which have adhered to an American Constitutional format. Some of the materials were collected during intensive research, writing, and teaching in Asia. Much of the statistical data has been collected from recognized sources of such country data to build the data base for computer-run multiple regression analyses. The results show that there is a wide range in the degree of "diffraction" among our selected countries. The Asian states have particular problems in the development process, and are still deeply involved in the "prismatic" phase, though significant progress has been made among our selected states. Scatter-diagramming analyses places each of these six states among a total of twenty states to view them in a world perspective. Our conclusions are founded upon matrix analysis, scatter-diagram analysis and multiple regression analysis to relate each of our selected states to each other and to a total of twenty states' data. These concluding analyses suggest what each of our given states needs to do in terms of policy changes to strengthen their potentialities for further evolution toward a successful liberal-democratic constitutionalism.
