Empire by Law: Ottoman Sovereignty and the British Occupation of Egypt, 1882-1923
Creators: Genell, Aimee M.
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2013
Subjects: History

description: This dissertation is an analysis of the Ottoman-European legal contest over Egypt. I explore the relationship between international law, imperial expansion and state formation in the late Ottoman Empire against the joint reconfiguration of ideas of sovereignty and imperial control during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The British occupation of Egypt (1882-1914) was a novel experiment in quasi-colonial administration, where legal justifications for the occupation demanded the retention of Ottoman institutions and shaped administrative practices. My research examines the significance and consequences of maintaining Ottoman sovereignty in Egypt during the British occupation in an effort to explain the formation of a distinctive model of sovereignty, both for late empires and for successor states in the post-Ottoman Middle East. I argue that a new model of client-state sovereignty produced during the course of the occupation, emerged out of the intense imperial rivalry between the Ottoman and Europe Empires in Egypt, and had lasting significance more generally for how we define states and sovereignty today. These findings recast the Ottoman Empire as a major, albeit weak, actor in European diplomacy. Though Ottoman and European history have developed as separate fields of academic inquiry, my research shows that nineteenth and early twentieth century European and Ottoman political practices and ideas were inextricably intertwined. The Ottoman Empire contributed to and was perhaps the key testing ground for enduring political and administrative experiments in the post-imperial international order.
Cosmological Implications of the BIMA 30 Ghz Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect Galaxy Cluster Survey

description: We explore the cosmological implications of 7 deep survey fields observed at the Berkeley-Illinois-Maryland Association (BIMA) Array with 30 GHz receivers. These observations probe the Cosmic Microwave Background anisotropy on scales corresponding to l=5500, and an earlier analysis of these data detected no galaxy clusters. We use numerical cluster simulations and mock observations to characterize the cluster detection efficiency for each of the BIMA fields. With these detection efficiencies we derive constraints on the cosmological parmaters OmegaM and sigma8, ruling out those models which overproduce galaxy clusters. Using only these seven BIMA fields, we calculate a 2sigma upper limit of sigma8 < 1.00OmegaM**(-0.43OmegaM-0.22) for flat models with 0.1

Emotional and Cognitive Influences on Visual Search

subject: FOS: Clinical medicine

description: The question of how one's emotional state affects one's ability to perform cognitive tasks has long captivated scientists.  In the work described in this thesis, a visual search task was employed as a proxy for cognition while images of emotional facial expression served to influence emotional experience. Previous models of the interaction between emotion, cognition, and visual perception have focused on the negative impact of emotion on cognition and behavioral performance.  The goal of the experiment described in this thesis was to investigate whether exposure to an emotional stimulus can have positive or negative effects on a subsequent visual search task. Specifically, the study was aimed at exploring the neural correlates of behavioral effects, BOLD effects, and functional connectivity between the seed regions amygdala, V1, and V2 with networks in the brain corresponding to cognition, particularly visual attention.  Nineteen subjects performed the search task during fMRI, while their eye movements, pupillometric data and manual responses were measured. Furthermore, the subjects completed several emotional rating scales to assess their individual levels of anxiety and hedonic capacity.  Subjects performed more accurately on the visual search task in trials preceded by fearful or happy face stimuli as compared with a neutral one.  Functional connectivity measures based on psychophysiological interaction and the contrast of the fearful and neutral conditions revealed a widespread pattern of enhanced functional connections between the amygdala seed and areas located in early and higher order extrastriate cortex including inferotemporal gyrus and fusiform gyrus.  In addition, higher connectivity with the medial dorsal nucleus of the thalamus was observed.  Also for the Fearful → Neutral contrast, V1 had higher functional connectivity with medial prefrontal cortex, superior frontal gyrus, posterior cingulate, and the pulvinar.  Furthermore, the exposure to a happy stimulus relative to a neutral one resulted in increased connectivity to the inferior parietal lobule and precuneus, both of which are involved in the frontoparietal network.  Comparison of fearful and happy functional connectivity patterns revealed higher V1 and V2 connectivity with medial frontal gyrus and anterior cingulate during the fearful condition, a difference which was also correlated with subject trait anxiety. Taken together, the results indicate that exposure to emotional stimuli can have enhancing effects on visual search performance which are related to changes in the functional relationships between brain regions including the amygdala (emotion processing), inferior parietal lobule and precuneus (cognition), and striate/extrastriate cortex (visual).

description: On the basis of the existing trace distance result, we present a simple and efficient method to tighten the upper bound of the guessing probability. The guessing probability of the final key k can be upper bounded by the guessing probability of another key k', if k' can be mapped from the final key k. Compared with the known methods, our result is more tightened by thousands of orders of magnitude. For example, given a 10^{-9}-secure key from the sifted key, the upper bound of the guessing probability obtained using our method is 2*10^(-3277). This value is smaller than the existing result 10^(-9) by more than 3000 orders of magnitude. Our result shows that from the perspective of guessing probability, the performance of the existing trace distance security is actually much better than what was assumed in the past.

description: This thesis presents two demonstrations of Zeeman sub-level Raman sideband transitions in trapped 171Yb+ ions that are to be used for the demonstration of a proof-of-concept quantum spin-heat engine (SHE)[1]. This Raman transition scheme has not previously been demonstrated on any I = 1/2 ion and relies on a single continuous wave (CW) laser and two acousto-optic modulators (AOMs) making it relatively cheap and easy to set up compared to other methods involving exotic pulsed lasers[2, 3] or complex optical setups[4, 5]. Using these novel transitions, I have demonstrated Raman sideband cooling below the Doppler limit on the two most strongly coupled modes of a trapped ion’s motion and have shown good agreement with the theory for light-motion coupling of bound atoms. I also improved the scheme by zeroing light shift and Raman sideband cooling to ¯n = 0.30(13) in a single motional mode. I also developed methods and prepared control systems to realise a high fidelity single trapped ion qubit. Average qubit measurement fidelities around 99.5% were routinely measured, with single qubit operation fidelities estimated at ∼ 99.99% and qubit initialisation fidelities estimated at ∼ 99.9999%. The qubit is based on the 2S1/2 ground state hyperfine clock transition with a measured T2 coherence time of 4.72(13) ms that is coherently driven by resonant microwaves at a maximum measured Rabi rate of 408.88(8) kHz. Lastly, I perform an in depth frequency stability analysis of a 399 nm laser locked to the 1S0 ↔ 1P0 transition in neutral ytterbium via the polarization enhanced absorption spectroscopy (POLEAS) technique. This locking technique was used for the required excitation of neutral ytterbium in the two-photon isotope-selective ionization technique to generate isotopically pure 171Yb+ or 174Yb+ ions.

description: Simulation lends itself to an outcomes-based learning model. Such models have become favoured for education of health professionals, as they can help fill gaps in clinical knowledge, increase safety and offer improved patient outcomes. In particular, there has been an upsurge in the use of technology-enhanced simulations, such as virtual patients, facilitated by the increasing availability of technology. However, a number of issues regarding use of simulations for education have been noted. These include cost, software availability, adaptation to the desired curriculum, ability to edit/personalise, and feasibility, particularly in terms of usability. In addition to these issues, there remains no clear consensus on how to best describe and report on these tools or, in fact, to measure the outcomes associated with their implementation. As such, this thesis explored current gaps in the research, and studied the creation, implementation and reporting of simulation-based interventions which focused on subjects pertaining to pharmacy curriculum. It also provided commentary on pedagogical considerations for the design of such interventions and discussed novel methods of measuring engagement and learning outcomes.

description: Biophysical model fitting plays a key role in obtaining quantitative parameters from physiological signals and images. However, the model complexity for molecular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) often translates into excessive computation time, which makes clinical use impractical. Here, we present a generic computational approach for solving the parameter extraction inverse problem posed by ordinary differential equation (ODE) modeling coupled with experimental measurement of the system dynamics. This is achieved by formulating a numerical ODE solver to function as a step-wise analytical one, thereby making it compatible with automatic differentiation-based optimization. This enables efficient gradient-based model fitting, and provides a new approach to parameter quantification based on self-supervised learning from a single data observation. The neural-network-based train-by-fit pipeline was used to quantify semisolid magnetization transfer (MT) and chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) amide proton exchange parameters in the human brain, in an in-vivo molecular MRI study (n = 4). The entire pipeline of the first whole brain quantification was completed in 18.3 $\pm$ 8.3 minutes. Reusing the single-subject-trained network for inference in new subjects took 1.0 $\pm$ 0.2 s, to provide results in agreement with literature values and scan-specific fit results.

description: In the bistable regime of the FitzHugh-Nagumo model of reaction-diffusion systems, spatially homogeneous patterns may be nonlinearly unstable to the formation of compact ``localized states." The formation of space-filling patterns from instabilities of such structures is studied in the context of a nonlocal contour dynamics model for the evolution of boundaries between high and low concentrations of the activator. An earlier heuristic derivation {[}D.M. Petrich and R.E. Goldstein, Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 72}, 1120 (1994){]} is made more systematic by an asymptotic analysis appropriate to the limits of fast inhibition, sharp activator interfaces and small asymmetry in the bistable minima. The resulting contour dynamics is temporally local, with the normal component of the velocity involving a local contribution linear in the interface curvature and a nonlocal component having the form of a screened Biot-Savart interaction. The amplitude of the nonlocal interaction is set by the activator-inhibitor coupling and controls the ``lateral inhibition" responsible for the destabilization of localized structures such as spots and stripes, and the repulsion of nearby interfaces in the later stages of those instabilities. The phenomenology of pattern formation exhibited by the contour dynamics is consistent with that seen by Lee, McCormick, Ouyang, and Swinney in experiments on the iodide-ferrocyanide-sulfite reaction in a gel reactor. Extensive numerical studies of the underlying partial differential equations are presented and compared in detail with the contour dynamics. The similarity of these phenomena (and their mathematical description) with those observed in amphiphilic monolayers, Type-I superconductors in the intermediate state, and magnetic fluids in Hele-Shaw geometry are emphasized.

description: We study how the gravitational wave signal from stellar collapse in scalar-tensor gravity varies under the influence of scalar self-interaction. To this end, we extract the gravitational radiation from numerical simulations of stellar collapse for a range of potentials with higher-order terms in addition to the quadratic mass term. Our study includes collapse to neutron stars and black holes and we find the strong inverse-chirp signals obtained for the purely quadratic potential to be exceptionally robust under changes in the potential at higher orders; quartic and sextic terms in the potential lead to noticeable differences in the wave signal only if their contribution is amplified, implying a relative fine-tuning to within 5 or more orders of magnitude between the mass and self-interaction parameters.

description: Let X be a projective 3-fold with at most Q-factorial terminal singularities on which K_X is nef and big. Suppose the canonical index r(X)>1. For any positive integer m, it is interesting to consider the base point freeness and birationality of the divisor mK_X. For example, we know the following results: (1) the system |5rK_X| is base point free (Ein-Lazarsfeld-Lee); (2) |mK_X| gives a birational map for all m>4r+2 (M. Hanamura). This article aims to present a better result in direction (2). As far as our method can tell here, |mK_X| gives a birational map for all m>2r+5. (Q-divisor method + patient calculation)

NEPTUNE-CANADA BASED GEOPHYSICAL IMAGING OF GAS HYDRATE IN THE BULLSEYE VENT

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia

description: Using the NEPTUNE-Canada cable-linked ocean-floor observatory we plan continuous, real-time monitoring of the gas hydrate-associated, “Bullseye” cold vent offshore Vancouver Island. Our group inferred the presence of a massive gas hydrate deposit there, based on the significant resistivity anomaly in our controlled-source electromagnetic (CSEM) dataset, as well as anomalously heightened shear moduli, from seafloor compliance data. This interpretation was confirmed by drilling by IODP expedition 311 (site U1328), which indicated a 40 m thick gas hydrate layer near the surface. Sporadic venting and variations in blanking in yearly single-channel seismic surveys suggest the system is evolving in time. We are preparing two stationary semi-permanent imaging experiments: a CSEM and a seafloor compliance installation. These are designed not only to assess the extent of the gas hydrate deposit, but also for long-term monitoring of the gas hydrate/free gas system. The principle of the CSEM experiment is to input a particular electromagnetic signal at a transmitter (TX) dipole on the seafloor, and to record the phase and amplitude of the response at several seafloor receiver (RX) dipoles, at various TX-RX separations. The data are sensitive to the underlying resistivity, which is increased when conductive pore water is displaced by electrically-insulating gas hydrate. The experiment is controlled onshore, and can be expanded to include a downhole TX. Repeated soundings at this site, over several years, will allow measurement of minute changes in resistivity as a function of depth, and by inference, changes in gas hydrate or underlying free gas distribution. Similarly, the displacement of pore fluids by solid gas hydrate will affect elastic parameters. Thus, seafloor compliance data, the transfer function between pressure and seafloor displacement time series, most sensitive to shear modulus as a function of depth, will be gathered continuously to monitor the evolution of the gas hydrate distribution.

description: This paper describes the search for astronomical sources of high-energy neutrinos using the AMANDA-B10 detector, an array of 302 photomultiplier tubes, used for the detection of Cherenkov light from upward traveling neutrino-induced muons, buried deep in ice at the South Pole. The absolute pointing accuracy and angular resolution were studied by using coincident events between the AMANDA detector and two independent telescopes on the surface, the GASP air Cherenkov telescope and the SPASE extensive air shower array. Using data collected from April to October of 1997 (130.1 days of livetime), a general survey of the northern hemisphere revealed no statistically significant excess of events from any direction. The sensitivity for a flux of muon neutrinos is based on the effective detection area for through-going muons. Averaged over the Northern sky, the effective detection area exceeds 10,000 m^2 for E_{mu} ~ 10 TeV. Neutrinos generated in the atmosphere by cosmic ray interactions were used to verify the predicted performance of the detector. For a source with a differential energy spectrum proportional to E_{nu}^{-2} and declination larger than +40 degrees, we obtain E^2(dN_{nu}/dE) <= 10^{-6}GeVcm^{-2}s^{-1} for an energy threshold of 10 GeV.

description: We present FoveaBox, an accurate, flexible, and completely anchor-free framework for object detection. While almost all state-of-the-art object detectors utilize predefined anchors to enumerate possible locations, scales and aspect ratios for the search of the objects, their performance and generalization ability are also limited to the design of anchors. Instead, FoveaBox directly learns the object existing possibility and the bounding box coordinates without anchor reference. This is achieved by: (a) predicting category-sensitive semantic maps for the object existing possibility, and (b) producing category-agnostic bounding box for each position that potentially contains an object. The scales of target boxes are naturally associated with feature pyramid representations. In FoveaBox, an instance is assigned to adjacent feature levels to make the model more accurate.We demonstrate its effectiveness on standard benchmarks and report extensive experimental analysis. Without bells and whistles, FoveaBox achieves state-of-the-art single model performance on the standard COCO and Pascal VOC object detection benchmark. More importantly, FoveaBox avoids all computation and hyper-parameters related to anchor boxes, which are often sensitive to the final detection performance. We believe the simple and effective approach will serve as a solid baseline and help ease future research for object detection.

Empire, Nation, and the Islamic World: Bosnian Muslim Reformists between the Habsburg and Ottoman Empires, 1901-1914

description: This dissertation is a study of the early 20th-century Pan-Islamist reform movement in Bosnia-Herzegovina, tracing its origins and trans-imperial development with a focus on the years 1901-1914. Its central figure is the theologian and print entrepreneur Mehmed Džemaludin Čaušević (1870-1938), who returned to his Austro-Hungarian-occupied home province from extended studies in the Ottoman lands at the start of this period with an ambitious agenda of communal reform. Čaušević’s project centered on tying his native land and its Muslim inhabitants to the wider “Islamic World”—a novel geo-cultural construct he portrayed as a viable model for communal modernization. Over the subsequent decade, he and his followers founded a printing press, standardized the writing of Bosnian in a modified Arabic script, organized the country’s Ulema, and linked these initiatives together in a string of successful Arabic-script, Ulema-led, and theologically modernist print publications. By 1914, Čaušević’s supporters even brought him to a position of institutional power as Bosnia-Herzegovina’s Reis-ul-Ulema (A: raʾīs al-ʿulamāʾ), the country’s highest Islamic religious authority and a figure of regional influence between two empires.
      Methodologically, the project functions on two primary levels. The first is a close reading of the reform movement’s multilingual and multi-scriptural periodical press and publishing scene, situating this fin-de-siècle Muslim print culture in its late imperial and trans-regional context. The second is a prosopographical approach to the polyglot generation of writers and theologians who stood behind it, emphasizing networks of collaboration, education, and kinship that tied them both to the wider world and previous generations of Bosnian scholars. The dissertation ultimately argues that Čaušević and his movement emerged from and represented a locally grounded tradition of Muslim cosmopolitan reform, which insisted on religious instruction in the Bosnian vernacular not at the expense of the classical languages of higher Islamic learning or the Ottoman (and later Habsburg) imperial order, but rather as a foundation that would enable Muslims to pursue the former and buttress the latter as well. In making this case, the project contributes to the wider historiography on empires and nationalism in Eastern and Southeast Europe, reconsidering the role of multilingualism in imperial demise and moving beyond the prevailing top-down focus on Muslims and other ethno-religious minorities as beleaguered subjects of nationalizing states. At the same time, it serves as a Bosnian case study for outstanding concerns in global Islamic intellectual history, arguing that the late and post-Ottoman Balkans played an active and underappreciated role in the formation of transnational Pan-Islamist thought during the late imperial period.

Pouebo

description: Genus POUEBO n. gen.
 Type species: Pouebo symmetricauda n. sp.
 ETYMOLOGY. — Pouebo is a place name of indigenous origin, Pouébo, in northeastern New Caledonia, near a collecting site for the genus. The gender is feminine.
 DIAGNOSIS. — This generic diagnosis is based on a single included species and emphasizes characters considered to be of generic importance.
 Length <2.0 mm; vertex not excavated between ocellar tubercle; male face and clypeus wide, male anterior eye facets enlarged; scape bare; first flagellomere subrectangular; arista dorsoapical; thorax rather short, rounded; mesonotum not flattened; single pair ac present; male with 2 strong posterior dc setae, and 2-3 weak hair-like setae anteriad, female with 4 strong dc; scutellum with single pair setae only; legs gracile; femora and tibiae bare of major setae; wing vein M unbranched and with gentle bend towards R 4+5 beyond dm-cu; tergum 7 forming short hypopygial peduncle, and tergum 7 setose; sternum 8 spatulate, with long basal extension, hypopygial foramen basal, not left lateral; epandrium rather short, dark brown; hypandrium with hood, and with left lateral arm crossing under phallus; phallus (= aedeagus) much longer than hypandrium; surstylus enlarged with modified setae; cercus narrow and elongate; female oviscapt with each hemitergite (formed from tergum 10) separate and with 2 strong apical setae; female cercus elongate, digitiform, extending beyond tergum 10.
 REMARKS. — Pouebo comprises a single species P. symmetricauda, known only from recent Malaise trap samples taken at two mid-elevation sites in northern New Caledonia.
 It is perhaps surprising that the genus is not known from southern New Caledonia, especially the well-sampled Mt. Koghis and Rivière Bleue sites near Nouméa. These two sites combined have more than 50 % of the New Caledonian fauna in both Sciapodinae and Dolichopodinae (for discussion on relative collecting intensity of New Caledonia sites, see Bickel 2002). Possibly Pouebo is restricted to northern New Caledonia.

Non-Gaussian CMB and LSS statistics beyond polyspectra

description: Cosmic inflation may have led to non-Gaussian initial conditions that cannot be fully parametrised by 3- and/or 4-point functions. In this work, we discuss various strategies to search for primordial non-Gaussianity beyond polyspectra with the help of cosmological data. Our starting point is a generalised local ansatz for the primordial curvature perturbation $ζ$ of the form $ζ= ζ_{\rm G} + \mathcal{F}_{\rm NG} (ζ_{\rm G})$, where $ζ_{\rm G}$ is a Gaussian random field and $\mathcal{F}_{\rm NG}$ is an arbitrary function parametrising non-Gaussianity that, in principle, could be reconstructed from data. Noteworthily, in the case of multi-field inflation, the function $\mathcal{F}_{\rm NG}$ can be shown to be determined by the shape of tomographic sections of the landscape potential responsible for driving inflation. We discuss how this generalised local ansatz leads to a probability distribution functional that may be used to extract information about inflation from current and future observations. In particular, we derive various classes of probability distribution functions suitable for the statistical analysis of the cosmic microwave background and large-scale structure.

Empire of Nations: The Consolidation of Albanian and Turkish National Identities in the Late Ottoman Empire, 1878-1913
Creators: Licursi, Emiddio Pietro
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2011
Subjects: History

description: "I intend to utilize the intellectual output of Albanian and Turkish figures
throughout this period to demonstrate the manner in which this process, and its various
contingencies, affected their worldviews. Particularly, I rely on works from Pashko Vasa,
Faïk Konitza, Sami Frashëri (Şemseddin Sami), Yusuf Akçura, and Ismail Kemal to
elucidate this process of transformation. I argue that these intellectual works provide
crucial insight as to the manner in which Albanians interpreted the events that occurred
between 1878 and 1913. Additionally, I claim that these intellectual sources embody a
resolution of the meta-historical transformations that occurred during this time, the
proliferation of nationalism throughout the Balkans and the Empire’s effort to
“modernize,” and the contingencies that directly effected the Albanian population."
Gaudin Model, KZ Equation, and Isomonodromic Problem on Torus

description: This paper presents a construction of isospectral problems on the torus. The construction starts from an SU(n) version of the XYZ Gaudin model recently studied by Kuroki and Takebe in the context of a twisted WZW model. In the classical limit, the quantum Hamiltonians of the generalized Gaudin model turn into classical Hamiltonians with a natural $r$-matrix structure. These Hamiltonians are used to build a non-autonomous multi-time Hamiltonian system, which is eventually shown to be an isomonodromic problem on the torus. This isomonodromic problem can also be reproduced from an elliptic analogue of the KZ equation for the twisted WZW model. Finally, a geometric interpretation of this isomonodromic problem is discussed in the language of a moduli space of meromorphic connections.

Direct Detection Signals from Absorption of Fermionic Dark Matter

description: We present a new class of direct detection signals; absorption of fermionic dark matter. We enumerate the operators through dimension six which lead to fermionic absorption, study their direct detection prospects, and summarize additional constraints on their suppression scale. Such dark matter is inherently unstable as there is no symmetry which prevents dark matter decays. Nevertheless, we show that fermionic dark matter absorption can be observed in direct detection and neutrino experiments while ensuring consistency with the observed dark matter abundance and required lifetime. For dark matter masses well below the GeV scale, dedicated searches for these signals at current and future experiments can probe orders of magnitude of unexplored parameter space.
