description: We demonstrate that the Lifshitz interaction energy (excluding the self-energies of the inner and outer spherical regions) for three concentric spherical dielectric media can be evaluated easily using the immense computation power in recent processors relative to those of a few decades ago. As a prototype, we compute the Lifshitz interaction energy for a spherical shell of water immersed in water vapor of infinite extent while enclosing a spherical ball of ice inside the shell, such that two concentric spherical interfaces are formed: one between solid ice and liquid water and the other between liquid water and gaseous vapor. We evaluate the Lifshitz interaction energy for the above configuration at the triple point of water when the solid, liquid, and gaseous states of water coexist, and, thus, extend the analysis of Elbaum and Schick in Phys. Rev. Lett. 66 (1991) 1713 to spherical configurations. We find that, when the Lifshitz energy contributes dominantly to the total energy of this system, which is often the case when electrostatic interactions are absent, a drop of water surrounded by vapor of infinite extent is not stable at the triple point. This instability, that is a manifestation of the quantum fluctuations in the medium, will promote formation of ice in water, which will then grow in size indefinitely. This is a consequence of the finding here that the Lifshitz energy is minimized for large (micrometer size) radius of the ice ball and small (nanometer size) thickness of the water shell surrounding the ice. These results might be relevant to the formation of hail in thunderclouds. These results are tentative in that the self-energies are omitted; surface tension and nucleation energy are not considered.

description: The fabrication of atomically precise structures with designer electronic properties is one of the emerging topics in condensed matter physics. The required level of structural control can either be reached through atomic manipulation using the tip of a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) or by bottom-up chemical synthesis. In this review, we focus on recent progress in constructing novel, atomically precise artificial materials: artificial lattices built through atom manipulation and graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) realized by on-surface synthesis. We summarize the required theoretical background and the latest experiments on artificial lattices, topological states in one-dimensional lattices, experiments on graphene nanoribbons and graphene nanoribbon heterostructures, and topological states in graphene nanoribbons. Finally, we conclude our review with an outlook to designer quantum materials with engineered electronic structure.

subject: wavefront

description: Clinical wavefront-guided corneal ablation has been now the most technologically advanced method to reduce the dependence of glasses and contact lenses. It has the potential not only to eliminate spherocylindrical errors but also to reduce higher-order aberrations (HOA). Recent statistics show that more than 96% of the patients who received laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) treatment reported their satisfaction about the improvement on vision, six months after the surgery. However, there are still patients complaining that their vision performance did not achieve the expectation or was even worse than before surgery. The reasons causing the unexpected post-surgical outcome include undercorrection, overcorrection, induced HOA, and other postoperative diseases, most of which are caused by inaccurate ablation besides other pathological factors. Therefore, to find out the method to optimize the LASIK procedures and provide a higher surgical precision has become increasingly important. A proper method to calculate ablation profile and an effective way to control the laser beam size and shape are key aspects in this research to resolve the problem. Here in this Master of Philosophy degree thesis, the author has performed a meticulous study on the existing methods of ablation profile calculation and investigated the efficiency of wavefront only ablation by a computer simulation applying real patient data. Finally, the concept of a refractive surgery system with dynamical beam shaping function is sketched, which can theoretically overcome the disadvantages of traditional procedures with a finite laser beam size.

description: We provide evidence that, alongside topologically protected edge states, two-dimensional Chern insulators also support localised bulk states deep in their valance and conduction bands. These states manifest when local potential gradients are applied to the bulk, while all parts of the system remain adiabatically connected to the same phase. In turn, the bulk states produce bulk current transverse to the strain. This occurs even when the potential is always below the energy gap, where one expects only edge currents to appear. Bulk currents are topologically protected and behave like edge currents under external influence, such as temperature or local disorder. Detecting topologically resilient bulk currents offers a direct means to probe the localised bulk states.

description: The work contained within this thesis aimed to establish the Dyspnoea Challenge, a two minute graded treadmill walk test, as a measure of exertional dyspnoea in those with cardiopulmonary disease. Four experiments were conducted to develop a standardised protocol and assess the reliability, validity, and responsiveness of the Dyspnoea Challenge in two clinical populations: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and heart failure (HF). The work presented in this thesis serves to improve the clinical-based options for measuring exertional dyspnoea across cardiopulmonary disease. Viewed together, the results of this project show that the Dyspnoea Challenge is a reliable, valid, and responsive measure of exertional dyspnoea with three potential uses: the longitudinal measurement of symptom intensity, assessment of disease severity, and providing diagnostic data regarding underlying cardiopulmonary disease and symptom mechanisms. Although further research is required to substantiate these claims, the results within this thesis suggest the Dyspnoea Challenge has more potential than other commonly used or emerging exercise tests for measuring exertional dyspnoea in cardiopulmonary disease.

A morphosemantic investigation of diminutive verbs in French and Modern Greek
Creators: name: Efthymiou, Angeliki
Publisher: name: Mediterranean Morphology Meetings
Year: 2017
Subjects: diminutives; verbs; French; Modern Greek

description: Driven by a shortage of studies of evaluative verbs from a contrastive perspective, this paper examines French and Modern Greek diminutive verbs with the aim of shedding light on their morphosemantic characteristics. After an overview of the recent literature on evaluative morphology, I present an analysis of the similarities and contrasts between deverbal diminutive verbs in French and Modern Greek. It is shown that there are a lot of similarities between French and Modern Greek evaluative verbs (e.g. both French and Modern Greek verbs express various values, such as attenuation, depreciation, etc.), but at the same time, both French and Modern Greek have their own specific sub-patterns: e.g. the meaning of diminution in Modern Greek is (almost) always expressed by prefixoids and prefixes (e.g. kutso-vlépo ‘see poorly’, psefto-δjavázo ‘to study half-heartedly’), while French evaluative verbs are mainly formed by means of suffixes (e.g. boit-iller ‘to limp slightly’, march-otter ‘to walk with difficulty, unsteadily’). It is argued that the asymmetry between the two languages might be linked to the degree of inflectionality of each language (French considered weakly inflecting vs. Modern Greek considered strongly inflecting language). Furthermore, it is argued that the difference between French and Modern Greek might be related the diversity of evaluative morphological means in Modern Greek, compared to the comparatively fewer ones in French. Finally, it is suggested that the asymmetry between the two languages might be linked to the fact that the derived verbal lexicon in French is rather poor in terms of (non-evaluative) derivational suffixes (e.g. -iser, -ifier, being the only verbalizing suffixes), while in Modern Greek the derived verbal lexicon is richer (see e.g. áro, -éno, -évo, -ízo, -(i)ázo, -óno: Ralli 2005, Efthymiou 2014)

In fact, Hod's approach only rules out massive scalar fields. In the present paper, for massless scalar fields outside neutral horizonless reflecting compact stars, we provide a rigorous mathematical proof on no hair theorem. We show that asymptotically flat spherically symmetric neutral horizonless reflecting compact stars cannot support exterior massless scalar field hairs.

'Native, Yet Foreign': Spain in the African American Imagination
Creators: Pawel, Rebecca Catherine
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2020
Subjects: African Americans
American literature
Comparative literature
Historiography

description: My dissertation argues that Spain was as important to the development of African American literary consciousness as more studied locales such as Paris, Harlem, or Chicago. I argue that a literary idea of Spain gave African American writers a conceptual space for thinking about race in the past and the future, and for considering the intersections between race and religion. Drawing on the work of Arthur Schomburg, Langston Hughes, Dorothy Peterson, and Richard Wright, I contend that mid-twentieth century African American writers adapted a broader trend of Anglophone historiography that viewed Spain as a quintessentially “medieval” country (feudal, agrarian, and Catholic), set in opposition to the essentially “modern” United States (democratic, industrial, and Protestant). This historiography appropriated Spanish history to position Spain as the physical site of the pre-modern history of the United States, creating what I call “geographic temporality,” where a physical space is associated with a specific time period.
Morphological variation: the case of productivity in German compound formation
Creators: name: Hein, Katrin
name: Engelberg, Stefan
Publisher: name: Mediterranean Morphology Meetings
Year: 2017
Subjects: compound formation; morphological productivity; productivity measures; corpus-based statistical methods

description: The paper at hand discusses productivity in German compound formation – as a case of morphological variation – from a lexeme-based synchronic perspective. In particular, we focus on groups of compounds with semantically closely related head words, e.g., compounds denoting colors. Our approach is characterized by a qualitative as well as a quantitative perspective on productivity. Taking the properties of the head lexeme as a starting point and applying corpus-based statistical methods, we try to gain new insights into compound formation, especially into potential factors which govern their productivity. In a first step, we determine the productivity of compounds on the basis of current productivity measures and data from a large corpus of German. In a second step, we try to systematically explain observable differences in productivity. The approach presented here is one of the first attempts to apply the concept of productivity, which has been predominantly used in the domain of derivation, to compounding. Since compounding is a dominant factor for the expansion of the German lexicon, we assume that our investigation also sheds an important light on the dynamics of the lexicon.

Number inflection in AN and NA Italian compounds
Creators: name: Micheli, M. Silvia
Publisher: name: Mediterranean Morphology Meetings
Year: 2017
Subjects: compounding; Italian; overabundance; number inflection

description: This paper aims at analysing a case of morphological variation in Italian, namely number inflection of two types of Italian compounds: Noun-Adjective (e.g. roccaNforteA ‘stronghold’) and Adjective-Noun (e.g. mezzaAlunaN ‘half-moon’) compounds. These compounds display both double inflection (e.g. cassePLfortiPL ‘safes’, doppiPLvetriPL ‘double glasses’), and external inflection (e.g. roccaSGfortiPL ‘strongholds’, doppioSGpettiPL ‘double-breasted’). Furthermore, in some cases the same compound shows both kinds of inflection, i.e. ‘overabundance’ (Thornton 2012). The analysis of both quantitative and qualitative data from a corpus of Contemporary Italian (i.e. itWaC) reveals that NA compounds do not show a consistent behavior in number inflection, since they are in general ancient and infrequent forms which originate in syntax and, in some cases, undergo lexicalization. On the other hand, AN compounds represent a morphological pattern mostly consisting of (sometimes still productive) series which display a transparent internal structure and a strong tendency to double inflection. Moreover, it appears from the examined data that although in most cases each compound seems to need an ad hoc explanation, frequency (especially for NA compounds) and belonging to a series (for AN compounds) can be considered as the most relevant factors for determining inflection.

If squares sharing sides are defined as adjacent, we color balanced quadtrees with three colors, and unbalanced quadtrees with four colors; these results are both tight, as some quadtrees require this many colors. If squares sharing corners are defined as adjacent, we color balanced or unbalanced quadtrees with six colors; for some quadtrees, at least five colors are required.

'Red Listing' Heritage: Endangerment as Policy and Collective Action
Creators: Goodwin, Scott
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2020
Subjects: Historic preservation
Lost architecture

description: Scholarship is increasingly critical of 𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘳𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 as a sensibility and a discursive device that shapes cultural heritage and its preservation. But recent academic calls for abandoning endangerment- and loss-oriented heritage practice have tended to overlook the complex ways that endangerment functions as a tool, and one that is used by institutions and publics alike. Endangerment listing programs for heritage have emerged over the past half-century as a distinct policy tool and one of the key ways that categories of endangerment are defined and reproduced. By moving beyond analyses of these programs as rhetoric or discourse, and by reframing recent discussions of “heritage at risk” in terms of policy and collective action, so-called heritage “red lists” become recognizable as mechanisms through which institutions and multiple publics dynamically construct endangerment to achieve varied outcomes in practice. Using red list programs as case studies, this paper explores the ways that contemporary list facilitators and list users negotiate and mobilize endangerment, and to what particular ends. It argues that endangerment as heritage policy functions not only as a tool of institutions, experts, and heritage professionals, but also as a means through which communities define and redefine notions of themselves. Despite a growing suspicion of endangerment within critical heritage discourse, this research suggests how endangerment might serve productive roles in policy and practice.

description: The role of mixed states in topological quantum matter is less known than that of pure quantum states. Generalisations of topological phases appearing in pure states had received only quite recently attention in the literature. In particular, it is still unclear whether the generalisation of the Aharonov-Anandan phase for mixed states due to Uhlmann plays any physical role in the behaviour of the quantum systems. We analyse from a general viewpoint topological phases of mixed states and the robustness of their invariance. In particular, we analyse the role of these phases in the behaviour of systems with a periodic symmetry and their evolution under the influence of an environment preserving its crystalline symmetries.

Publisher: name: Griffith University
Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: pesticides
subject: jellyfish
subject: Chemical pollutants
subject: coastal waters

description: Chemical pollutants, such as pesticides, are a major contaminant of coastal waters globally. Although pesticides are designed to manage pest species, they can impact non-target organisms, such as jellyfish, when they enter coastal waters. Scyphozoan jellyfish are an integral part of marine ecosystems and have complex life cycles. Pelagic medusae produce larvae via sexual reproduction, which settle on the benthos and metamorphose into asexual polyps that produce ephyrae (juvenile medusae) by strobilation (a process where the polyp body divides horizontally to form ephyrae). The different life-history stages may vary in their susceptibility to pesticides. Jellyfish are generally considered robust to anthropogenic stressors; however, studies that empirically support such claims are scarce. Furthermore, few studies have exposed jellyfish to pesticides. This thesis aimed to assess the effects of pesticides across different life-history stages of jellyfish analysing biological, behavioural, physiological and metabolic endpoints. Multiple pesticides usually co-occur in coastal environments and may interact to produce responses that are potentially more severe than individual pesticides. Moreover, during non-floods periods, pesticides usually persist at relatively low concentrations. Thus, coastal organisms are mostly exposed to chronic concentrations of mixtures of pesticides. [...]
Formal variation does not affect morphological processing: evidence from Italian
Creators: name: Piccinin, Sabrina

Publisher: name: Mediterranean Morphology Meetings
Year: 2017
Subjects: masked priming; morphological processing; allomorphy; Italian

description: Psycholinguistic research on morphological processing has not always provided convergent evidence on the way allomorphic relationships are perceived during lexical access. In the present study we propose to further investigate this issue by focusing on Italian deverbal nominalizations in -tura and -zione and their relationship with two potential bases of derivations. Results from a masked priming study showed similar facilitation effects when riparato ‘repaired’ and riparare ‘to repair’ were presented as primes for the recognition of the target riparazione ‘repair’. Similarly, such effects also emerged when targets such as illusione ‘illusion’ were preceded by the transparent form illuso ‘deluded’ and the more opaque illudere ‘to delude’, indicating no significant difference between primes exhibiting non-predictable allomorphy and more transparent ones. Implications for lexical access are discussed and reasons to prefer a word-based semantically informed model are provided.

description: It is known that quantum scissors, as non-deterministic amplifiers, can enhance the performance of Gaussian-modulated continuous-variable quantum key distribution (CV-QKD) in noisy and long-distance regimes of operation. Here, we extend this result to a non-Gaussian CV-QKD protocol with discrete modulation. We show that, by using a proper setting, the use of quantum scissors in the receiver of such discrete-modulation CV-QKD protocols would allow us to achieve positive secret key rates at high loss and high excess noise regimes of operation, which would have been otherwise impossible. This also keeps the prospect of running discrete-modulation CV-QKD over CV quantum repeaters alive.

'The Sovereignty that Seemed Lost Forever': The War on Poverty, Lawyers, and the Tribal Sovereignty Movement, 1964-1974

subject: Sovereignty
subject: Lawyers

description: Relying on interviews of Indian rights lawyers as well as archival research, this collective history excavates a missing page in the history of the modern tribal sovereignty movement. At a time when vocal Native American political protests were raging from Washington State, to Alcatraz Island, to Washington, D.C., a small group of newly graduated lawyers started quietly resurrecting Indian rights through the law. Between 1964 and 1974, these non-Indian and Native American lawyers litigated on behalf of Indians, established legal assistance programs as part of the War on Poverty efforts to provide American citizens with equal access to a better life, and founded institutions to support the protection of tribal rights. In the process, they would also inadvertently create both a profession and an academic field—Indian law as we know it today—which has since attracted an increasing number of lawyers, including Native Americans. This story is an attempt at reconstituting a major dimension of the rise of tribal sovereignty in the postwar era, one that has until now remained in the shadows of history: how Indian rights, considered obsolete until the 1960s, gained legitimacy by seizing a series of opportunities made available in part through ‘accidents’ of history. The work done by this new generation of Indian rights lawyers between the mid-1960s and the mid-1970s recast definitions of tribal sovereignty in Indian Country as well as the practice and teaching of Indian law. At its core, this project seeks to realize three aspirations: First, to explain where Native American rights come from and how they interact, engage, and fit in with American law; second, to dissect the uses and limitations of law as an avenue for the pursuit of social justice; and third, to probe the question of whether the United States can function as a plural state capable of hosting multiple visions of politics, law, and culture.
'A School for Problems': Gender and the Development of Citizenship Education at the Highlander Folk School During the Civil Rights Movement

Citizenship--Study and teaching

description: By examining the role of women and gender in different stages of the development of the citizenship education program, I will show how the structure and mission of Highlander allowed Septima Clark and Bernice Robinson both to challenge and to manipulate gendered understandings of leadership to articulate and carry out an experience-based philosophy of
activism, education and leadership. Their work represented a major contribution to the goals and principles of the civil rights movement as a whole and created spaces in which women could exercise a model of leadership whose strength and significance is too little recognized.

description: Deep Neural Networks (DNN) have been widely employed in industry to address various Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks. However, many engineers find it a big overhead when they have to choose from multiple frameworks, compare different types of models, and understand various optimization mechanisms. An NLP toolkit for DNN models with both generality and flexibility can greatly improve the productivity of engineers by saving their learning cost and guiding them to find optimal solutions to their tasks. In this paper, we introduce NeuronBlocks\footnote{Code: \url{https://github.com/Microsoft/NeuronBlocks}} \footnote{Demo: \url{https://youtu.be/x6cOpVSZcdo}}, a toolkit encapsulating a suite of neural network modules as building blocks to construct various DNN models with complex architecture. This toolkit empowers engineers to build, train, and test various NLP models through simple configuration of JSON files. The experiments on several NLP datasets such as GLUE, WikiQA and CoNLL-2003 demonstrate the effectiveness of NeuronBlocks.

English Compounds with ing-form heads

Subjects: compounds; participles; constructions

description: This paper investigates the properties of compounds with right-hand elements that have the form of present-participles, i.e. ing-forms. After a survey of the recent literature on argumental relations in compounds in which the ing-form is an event nominalisation, the paper looks at compounds embedded before another noun. Evidence from attested patterns is used to argue that argumental relations in such sequences can be explained via the embedding of different constructions.

Subjects: : Climate change, agriculture, Nigeria, rural livelihoods, adaptation strategies

description: Agriculture plays a pivotal role in the livelihoods of many African nations, including Nigeria, where it contributes significantly to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and engages a substantial portion of the population. However, climate change and variability pose formidable challenges to the agricultural sector, especially in developing countries. This study examines the intricate relationship between climate change and agriculture in Nigeria, with a focus on its impact on the livelihoods of rural farming communities. Climate change is a global phenomenon, and its repercussions are acutely felt in the agricultural sector, particularly in regions like sub-Saharan Africa. This vulnerability is exacerbated by the heavy dependence of Nigerian agriculture on climate patterns. Changes in climate variables, such as temperature and rainfall, directly affect agricultural productivity, potentially leading to food insecurity and economic hardship. In this context, we explore the specific challenges faced by rural farming households and communities in Nigeria due to climate variability. The study highlights the need for adaptive strategies and policies to mitigate the adverse effects of climate change on agriculture and ensure the sustainability of rural livelihoods.
Electron transport and electron density inside quasi-one-dimensional disordered conductors

description: We consider the problem of electron transport across a quasi-one-dimensional disordered multiply-scattering medium, and study the statistical properties of the electron density inside the system. In the physical setup that we contemplate, electrons of a given energy feed the disordered conductor from one end. The physical quantity that is mainly considered is the logarithm of the electron density, $\ln {\cal W}(x)$, since its statistical properties exhibit a self-averaging behavior. We also describe a {\em gedanken} experiment, as a possible setup to measure the electron density. We study analytically and through computer simulations the ballistic, diffusive and localized regimes. We generally find a good agreement between the two approaches. The extension of the techniques that were used in the past to find information outside the sample is done in terms of the scattering properties of the two segments that form the entire conductor on each side of the observation point. The problem is of interest in various other branches of physics, as electrodynamics and elasticity.
