description: In this paper we show that, for topological dynamical systems with a dense set (in the weak topology) of periodic measures, a typical (in Baire's sense) invariant measure has, for each $q>0$, zero lower $q$-generalized fractal dimension. This implies, in particular, that a typical invariant measure has zero upper Hausdorff dimension and zero lower rate of recurrence. Of special interest is the full-shift system $(X,T)$ (where $X= M^{\Z}$ is endowed with a sub-exponential metric and the alphabet $M$ is a perfect and compact metric space), for which we show that a typical invariant measure has, for each $q>1$, infinite upper $q$-correlation dimension. Under the same conditions, we show that a typical invariant measure has, for each $s\in(0,1)$ and each $q>1$, zero lower $s$-generalized and infinite upper $q$-generalized dimensions.

description: Software maintenance is a time taking activity in the real world. Execution time of software maintenance process may get increased due to interdepartmental communication, thus, increasing the cost and decreasing the performance of the process. We suggested performance evaluation of software maintenance process through the transformation of activity diagram into generalised stochastic Petri nets (GSPN). For this study, execution time and cost of maintenance process are defined as performance measures, and the role-based approach is used to understand the flow of software maintenance activities in a software organisation. Activity diagram is constructed to be transformed into GSPN. We used PIPE2 to analyse the GSPN. PIPE2 calculates average number of tokens on a place in the GSPN, throughput of timed transition and state space analysis. State space involves calculation of the reachability of the GSPN net that shows whether a GSPN holds the property of safeness, boundness and is deadlock free.

description: This dissertation explores the experiences of nineteen individuals assigned to six collaborative Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) development teams across four university sites. Based on an analysis of these semi-structured interviews and process artifacts, findings reveal that collaborative MOOC development teams are composed of members with cross-campus affiliations who possess distinct knowledge, skills, and attitudes that—when combined with specific resources—facilitate the interdependence needed to effectively collaborate on MOOC curriculum. This research suggests that process behaviors that cultivate empathy and expedite trust among members positively mediate states that emerge from the diversity of power and affiliations commonly found on MOOC teams. Further, these process behaviors and emergent states are found to have an impact beyond the MOOC itself, on faculty behaviors in the classroom, staff behaviors with regards to future curriculum collaborations, and institutional acceptance and promotion of cross-campus collaborations with regards to online learning and collaborative curriculum development. While existing MOOC research has focused on the historical, pedagogical, and technical aspects of MOOC curriculum development, this dissertation contributes to a better understanding of how MOOC teams effectively collaborate to develop curriculum that leverages existing scholarship. This research therefore has implications for advancing scholarship on effective teams, collaborative curriculum design, online learning, and MOOCs, as well as informing practical recommendations for stakeholders engaged in strategically composing and working within collaborative curriculum development teams.

QCD Corrections to Resonant Slepton Production in Hadron Colliders

description: We consider resonant production of sneutrino and slepton at hadronic colliders such as the Tevatron and the LHC within the context of a R-parity violating supersymmetric model. We present next to leading order QCD corrections to total cross sections which originate from both quark- as well as gluon-initiated processes. For couplings involving only the first generation quarks, the K factor at the Tevatron can be as large as 1.5 for a 100 GeV sfermion and falls to nearly 1.1 as the sfermion mass reaches 1 TeV. At the LHC, the variation is between 1.2 and 1.45 for masses less than 2 TeV. While the dependence on the parton density parametrization is found to be mild, this ceases to be true if the strange quark plays a dominant role in the production process. We also study the renormalization and factorization-scale dependence and find it to be less pronounced for the NLO cros sections as compared to the LO. The results obtained in this article are also applicable to resonant production of any color-neutral scalar.

description: We describe a numerical code that solves Einstein's equations for a Schwarzschild black hole in spherical symmetry, using a hyperbolic formulation introduced by Choquet-Bruhat and York. This is the first time this formulation has been used to evolve a numerical spacetime containing a black hole. We excise the hole from the computational grid in order to avoid the central singularity. We describe in detail a causal differencing method that should allow one to stably evolve a hyperbolic system of equations in three spatial dimensions with an arbitrary shift vector, to second-order accuracy in both space and time. We demonstrate the success of this method in the spherically symmetric case.

description: Quantum private information retrieval (QPIR) is a protocol in which a user retrieves one of multiple classical files by downloading quantum systems from non-communicating $\mathsf{n}$ servers each of which contains a copy of all files, while the identity of the retrieved file is unknown to each server. Symmetric QPIR (QSPIR) is QPIR in which the user only obtains the queried file but no other information of the other files. In this paper, we consider the $(\mathsf{n} - 1)$-private QSPIR in which the identity of the retrieved file is secret even if any $\mathsf{n} - 1$ servers collude, and derive the QSPIR capacity for this problem which is defined as the maximum ratio of the retrieved file size to the total size of the downloaded quantum systems. For an even number n of servers, we show that the capacity of the $(\mathsf{n}-1)$-private QSPIR is $2/\mathsf{n}$, when we assume that there are prior entanglements among the servers. We construct an $(\mathsf{n} - 1)$-private QSPIR protocol of rate $\lceil\mathsf{n}/2\rceil^{-1}$ and prove that the capacity is upper bounded by $2/\mathsf{n}$ even if any error probability is allowed. The $(\mathsf{n} - 1)$-private QSPIR capacity is strictly greater than the classical counterpart.

description: The discovery of two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), a new group of direct band gap semiconductors, and their heterostructures, provides unprecedented opportunities to the research and application of exciton and related species. The strong Coulomb interaction in those materials correlated the photo-excited electron hole system and generates series of exotic electronic phases. In this dissertation, I will focus on two of such systems: the interlayer exciton in TMDC heterobilayers and the trion in TMDC monolayers. With the first generation TMDC samples, the carrier dynamics in MoS2/WSe2 heterobilayers was studied as a function of twist angle. The twist angle independence of the ultrafast charge transfer indicates a hot carrier mediated charge transfer mechanism, while that of charge recombination was attributed to defect-mediated non-radiative charge recombination. The development of second generation TMDC samples, characterized by BN encapsulation and flux growth of bulk crystals, facilitates the revelation of intrinsic properties of those materials. In MoSe2/WSe2 heterobilayers, the Mott transition from insulating interlayer exciton to conducting charge separated electron/hole plasmas was investigated by photoluminescence, transient reflectance, photoconductivity and diffusion measurements and directly observed in time and space. The high carrier density of more than 1014 cm-2 can be optically generated under both continuous wave and pulsed excitation conditions. This work paves the way towards predicted high-temperature exciton condensate in TMDC heterostructures. In MoSe2 monolayers, the nature of trion was revealed by time and energy resolved photoluminescence imaging. The trion binding energy is exceptionally tolerant to dielectric disorder, the temperature dependence of which disfavors the virtual trion theory. The higher diffusion constant of trion than exciton supports that it is a mobile charged species in contradiction to the exciton polaron theory. The trionic resonance is robust against Mott transition leading to the trionic emission and the ring diffusion pattern at high excitation densities. Our observations demonstrate that the trion in monolayer MoSe2 is a robust and mobile carrier of charge and energy.

description: We demonstrate that a staggered parametric ac driving term can support stable progressive motion of a soliton in a Toda lattice with friction, while an unstaggered drivng force cannot. A physical context of the model is that of a chain of anharmonically coupled particles adsorbed on a solid surface of a finite size. The ac driving force models a standing acoustic wave excited on the surface. Simulations demonstrate that the state left behind the moving soliton, with the particles shifted from their equilibrium positions, gradually relaxes back to the equilibrium state that existed before the passage of the soliton. Perturbation theory predicts that the ac-driven soliton exists if the amplitude of the drive exceeds a certain threshold. The analytical prediction for the threshold is in reasonable agreement with that found numerically. Collisions between two counter propagating solitons were also simulated, demonstrating that the collisions are, essentially fully elastic.

description: This dissertation is a study on Mexican-American families focusing on undocumented parents with U.S. born children. I argue that these families represent the most contemporary wave of migrants to enter the United States without documentation since the late 1990s and early 2000s. Research on social inequality situates transmission processes between parents and children, I show how undocumented status can be transmitted and experienced through the creation of a particular social context that encapsulates entire families, including U.S. born children. States, which adopt a legal and institutional framework, aimed at restricting immigrant rights present social and cultural challenges for these parent’s, and their children’s integration experiences. I examine how a process of racialization tied to immigration status translates to what it means to be Mexican American. I observe the ways that social support and intra-group relations across Mexican-American communities are weakened because of the increasing stigmatizing element that is undocumented status. By qualitatively capturing families’ experiences across North Carolina and New York, I highlight the meaning and consequences of legal status and detail how it is hindering this group’s progression overall. How families experience undocumented status varies across the individual, community and state levels. Families are learning to adapt to enforcement measures that merely serve to sustain a durable form of inequality that I argue is creating a new Mexican-American experience.

description: We revisit the issue of probing R-violating couplings of supersymmetric theories at hadronic colliders, particularly at the LHC. Concentrating on dimuon production, an evaluation of the optimal sensitivity to the R-violating coupling is performed through a maximum likelihood analysis. The measurement uncertainties are evaluated through a study of fully generated events processed through a fast simulation of the ATLAS detector. It is found that a host of R-violating couplings can be measured to a statistical accuracy of better than 10%, over a significant part of the m_{tilde f} -- lambda parameter space still allowed by low energy measurements. Since the bounds thus obtained do not simply scale as the squark mass, one can do significantly better at the LHC than at the Tevatron. The same analysis can also be extended to assess the reach of the LHC to effects due to any non-SM structure of the four-fermion amplitude, caused by exchanges of new particles with different spins such as leptoquarks and gravitons that are suggested by various theoretical ideas.

description: There is a pressing need for public administration leaders to exhibit expertise-based intuitive leadership traits for developing countries to respond to sustainability challenges. While the importance of explicit and tacit knowledge to underpin expertise-based intuitive decision-making is known, public service leaders of developing countries can lack these traits. It is necessary to explore the reasons for leadership skills gaps in order to define remedial actions, such as better executive development training. This study conducts 28 in-depth interviews with public administration leaders, managers, and executive training professionals in Pakistan to address the challenge of how to build expertise-based intuitive leadership traits in public administration leaders. The main findings highlight deficiencies in domain-specific knowledge and soft skills. Deficits in the formal training of leaders and the negative contribution of cultural preconditions both result in explicit and tacit knowledge gaps that undermine expertise-based intuitive decision-making. An “iceberg of expertise-based leadership” model is conceptualized, extending on previous models, to describe the intangible role that explicit and tacit knowledge play in the visible expression of leadership skills. The relevance of this model for the success of public sector-led initiatives for sustainable development is highlighted.

The Energy-dependent $γ$-ray Morphology of the Crab Nebula Observed with the Fermi Large Area Telescope

Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)

description: The Crab Nebula is a bright emitter of non-thermal radiation across the entire accessible range of wavelengths. The spatial and spectral structures of the synchrotron nebula are well-resolved from radio to hard X-ray emission. The un-pulsed emission at GeV to TeV energies is mostly produced via inverse-Compton scattering of energetic electrons with the synchrotron-emitted photons. The spatial structure observed at these energies provides insights into the distribution of electrons and indirectly constrains the so-far unknown structure of the magnetic field in the nebula. Analyzing the LAT data accumulated over $\sim$9.1 years with a properly refined model for the Crab pulsar's spectrum, we determined the 68\% containment radius ($R_{68}$) of the Crab Nebula to be $({0.0330\pm0.0025_{stat}}{^{+0.0012}_{-0.0075}}_{sys})^\circ$ (${1.98'\pm0.15'_{stat}}{^{+0.07'}_{-0.45'}}_{sys}$) in the 5--500 GeV band. The estimated systematic uncertainty is based on two factors: (1) different analysis methods, morphological models and event types, and (2) the point-spread-function evaluated with observations of Mkn 421. When comparing the \emph{Fermi} LAT and H.E.S.S. results on the spatial extension, we find evidence for an energy-dependent shrinking of the Crab Nebula's $γ$-ray extension ($R_{68}\propto E_\mathrm{IC}^{-α}$ where $α=0.155\pm0.035_{stat}{-0.037}_{sys}$).

description: In received biomedical research wisdom, randomized controlled trials (RCTs) revolutionized post-World War II health research. By blending statistical analysis with the testing of new procedures and interventions, RCTs have enabled investigators to circumvent the influence of a variety of biases on research outcomes so that the effectiveness of interventions can be ascertained with high levels of confidence. While extant literature addresses the epistemological history of RCTs from the scientific community's perspective, the history of public health would be significantly enhanced by a broader, more detailed consideration of social dimensions of RCTs. Similarly, while a plethora of bioethical literature has been written on RCTs and human subject research, we currently lack a historical analysis that considers ethical shifts over time as they relate to RCTs. This dissertation describes the key political, economic, intellectual, and cultural events in the history of RCTs from their origins to 1980 and analyzes how these events influenced RCT norms. I describe the barriers to the implementation of RCTs throughout the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries--namely the dominance of individualistic ideologies in clinical research and an absence of governmental regulatory or funding structures to require or support RCTs. I then describe how large, multi-site RCTs grew out of a Cold War political environment that supported public investment in scientific structures; how post-WWII research regulations influenced the proliferation of RCTS in the US; how politics and regulations influenced shifts in the demographics of RCT research subjects; and how ethical norms changed over time through interaction with broader ethical shifts and governmental regulations.

description: While there are several Scientometrics that can be used to assess the quality of the scientific work published in journals and conferences, yet; their validity and suitability is a great concern for stakeholders from both academia and industry. Different organizations have a different set of criteria for assessing the journals publishing scientific content. This is mostly based on the information generated from Scientometrics. A unified journal ranking system is therefore required that is acceptable to all concerned. This paper, collects data concerning Scientometrics for unified assessment of journals and proposes a mechanism of assessment using data mining methods. In order to carry out the research, big data for the proposed Scientometrics is stored in an integrated database. K Means clustering is then applied. This is to group the journals in different unsupervised clusters. The clusters are then labelled to find the exact rank of a science journal by using a state-of-the-art technique of labelling clusters. The classifier for the new instances is trained by using Naïve Bayes Classification Model. The new metrics proposed, include Eigen factor, Audience Factor, Impact Factor, Article Influence and Citations. In addition to this, the Prestige of Journal (PoJ) for the evaluation of journals is also proposed. The accuracy of both K means clustering and Naïve Bayes classification is 80%. The methods can be generalized to any problem of journal classification.

We analyze matter entanglement entropy and how the entangling surface should be defined in quantum gravity. Finally, we reanalyze a semi-classical model for black hole evaporation studied in JHEP 1607, 139 (2016) and compute the entanglement between early and late Hawking radiation, illustrating information loss in the semi-classical framework.

description: Social network analysis (SNA) has emerged as a significant paradigm for research in data mining community for measuring and analyzing human dynamic network structure. At organizational level, SNA can enhance our understanding of work place social interactions and unveil the hidden stars embedded in informal networks by investigating nodes and edges of complex networks. For this study, we aim to formulate a network centrality based quantitative method to identify the High potential employees (HiPos) and Influencers of telecom sector and explore the relationship between degree centrality of these star employees and their turnover intention by modeling the dynamics of their workplace social ties and predictive data mining technique. We investigated the multiplex work and advice network in two leading telecom operators of Pakistan i.e. Ufone and Zong. For the statistical analysis we conducted a quantitative and visual network analysis in UCINET along with correlation and regression. Our results showed a negative correlation between HiPos out-degree centrality and turnover intention and a positive correlation between influencer's in-degree centrality and turnover. Whereas perceived investment in employee development (PIED) was found to mediate the relationship between in-degree centrality of influencer and turnover intention. The correlation results were then verified in regression model. These findings will guide the telecom operators in designing an optimal structure for business intelligence by providing critical insights of their star employees and help them to investigate the influence of central nodes on dynamical processes of its heterogeneous networks and thus enhance employee retention before a star falls out.

description: We establish local balance equations for smooth functions of the vorticity in the DiPerna-Majda weak solutions of 2D incompressible Euler, analogous to the balance proved by Duchon and Robert for kinetic energy in 3D. The anomalous term or defect distribution therein corresponds to the ``enstrophy cascade'' of 2D turbulence. It is used to define a rather natural notion of ``dissipative Euler solution'' in 2D. However, we show that the DiPerna-Majda solutions with vorticity in $L^p$ for $p>2$ are conservative and have zero defect. Instead, we must seek an alternative approach to dissipative solutions in 2D. If we assume an upper bound on the energy spectrum of 2D incompressible Navier-Stokes solutions by the Kraichnan-Batchelor $k^{-3}$ spectrum, uniformly for high Reynolds number, then we show that the zero viscosity limits of the Navier-Stokes solutions exist, with vorticities in the zero-index Besov space $B^{0,\infty}_2$, and that these give a weak solution of the 2D incompressible Euler equations. We conjecture that for this class of weak solutions enstrophy dissipation may indeed occur, in a sense which is made precise.

The Emancipation of Memory: Arnold Schoenberg and the Creation of 'A Survivor from Warsaw'

description: This is a study of the ways in which the past is inscribed in sound. It is also an examination of the role of concert music in the invention of cultural memory in the wake of the Second World War. And finally, it is a study of the creation and early American reception of A Survivor from Warsaw, a cantata written in 1947 that became the first major musical memorial to the Holocaust. It remains uniquely significant and controversial within the larger oeuvre of its composer, Arnold Schoenberg (1874-1951).
      Historians interested in the chronologies and modalities of Holocaust memory have tended to overlook music’s role as a carrier of meaning about the past, while other media of commemoration have received far greater scrutiny, be they literary, cinematic, or architectural. And yet,  A Survivor from Warsaw predated almost all of its sibling memorials, crystallizing and anticipating the range of aesthetic and ethical concerns that would define the study of postwar memory and representation for decades to come. It also constituted a uniquely personal memorial that may be read not only as a work of Holocaust art but also as a profoundly autobiographical document, one that sheds light on constellations of particularist identities often hidden beneath the “universalist” veil of one of the twentieth-century’s most iconic musical figures. Ultimately, this study seeks to articulate an under-examined linkage between modernism and memory, while arguing methodologically for the importance of sound in the contemporary practice of cultural history.

Towards successful business process improvement–An extension of change acceleration process model

description: Change Acceleration Process model (CAP) emerged in early 90's as a set of principles for accelerating change management efforts in organizations. Business Process Improvement (BPI) projects open avenues of opportunity and success for organizations in this highly competitive era. However, most of these projects fail due to lack of commitment, communication, scope creep and inadequate resources. This research attempts to study industry relevant factors most critical to success of a BPI Project in the highly competitive telecom sector. Modified Delphi technique employing a panel of telecom professionals was adopted in order to determine the critical success factors (CSFs) after a thorough review of the literature. Exploratory factor analysis was performed to map extracted factors to the five agents of change. Research outcome defines the relevant CSFs in terms of vision, skills, incentives, resources and action plan. A significant contribution of this research is an extended CAP model for implementation of BPI projects. Practical implications of this research are utilization of the proposed model for BPI project success.

description: How do personnel practices affect firm performance? To examine this issue we use a panel of over 1,500 New Zealand firms, drawn from a diverse range of industries. The panel comprises respondents to official surveys of management practices in 2001 and 2005. These surveys ask a wide range of comparable qualitative questions covering organisational practices including human resource management (HRM). To this panel, we link longitudinal firm performance data from Statistics New Zealand’s Longitudinal Business Database. We find that suites of complementary HRM-related practices impact positively on firm productivity and wages; effects on employee turnover depend on the practices considered

description: The acoustic scattering operator on the real line is mapped to a Schrödinger operator under the Liouville transformation. The potentials in the image are characterized precisely in terms of their scattering data, and the inverse transformation is obtained as a simple, linear quadrature. An existence theorem for the associated Harry Dym flows is proved, using the scattering method. The scattering problem associated with the Camassa-Holm flows on the real line is solved explicitly for a special case, which is used to reduce a general class of such problems to scattering problems on finite intervals.

description: This dissertation explores the relations of independent American universities abroad to one another and to American higher education through a mixed-method comparative case study of three eras (1919-1945; 1946-1990; 1991-2017). Applying insights from the study of organizations and social movements, it investigates 1) the formation, evolution, and eventual maturation of an organizational field of American universities abroad; and 2) the strategies field actors utilize to align frames about American universities abroad with values of potential supporters in the United States. The study employs both qualitative and quantitative methods to analyze data that come from archives, news media, institutional websites, interviews, and an original database. Findings have implications for study of international higher education, American higher education, and American foreign relations. I argue that over the course of a century, the American university abroad has emerged as a distinct institution and structural feature of American higher education. Episodic cooperation among various American universities abroad has served to organize the field to the extent that its “rules” eventually became institutionalized. Instances of continuity and change in the field’s rules are often the result of pressures emanating from U.S. higher education and foreign policies. Meanwhile, the field of American universities abroad, representing the frontier of American higher education, has continually enlarged the latter’s boundaries with each successive period of global expansion.
