description: We present a theory for tunneling spectroscopy in a break-junction semiconductor device for materials in which the electronic conduction mechanism is hopping transport. Starting from the conventional expression for the hopping current we develop an expression for the break-junction tunnel current for the case in which the tunnel resistance is much larger than the effective single-hop resistances. We argue that percolation like methods are inadequate for this case and discuss in detail the interplay of the relevant scales that control the possibility to extract spectroscopic information from the characteristic of the device.

description: In forensic drug chemistry, most street drugs are formulated by the combination of powders, one or more of which is an illicit drug. Because the amount of controlled substances contained in the mixture determines sentencing, laboratory practices must ensure that portions combined for analysis are representative of the entire seizure. Often it is difficult to ascertain whether or not the mixture is truly uniform, especially when all powders combined are white. The analyst may rely on visual cues that have not been evaluated. In this study, caffeine and mannitol were chosen as surrogates for illicit drug and cutting agent. Caffeine and mannitol were chosen for this project due to their accessibility as a non-controlled substance and abundance in real world forensic exhibits. Mixtures of caffeine and mannitol were combined at several different known purities and then analyzed via gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Experiments were conducted to evaluate the homogeneity of mixtures prepared by changing time mixed, amount mixed and color of substance.

description: Nearly all energy generated by fusion in the solar core is ultimately radiated away into space in the solar atmosphere, while the remaining energy is carried away in the form of neutrinos. The exchange of energy between the solar gas and the radiation field is thus an essential ingredient of atmospheric modeling. The equations describing these interactions are known, but their solution is so computationally expensive that they can only be solved in approximate form in multi-dimensional radiation-MHD modeling. In this review, I discuss the most commonly used approximations for energy exchange between gas and radiation in the photosphere, chromosphere, and corona.

description: In the context of the single structural equation model, we derive a number of exact results that extend and/or simplify results hitherto available. First, we obtain expressions for both the conditional and unconditional densities of the limited information maximum likelihood estimator for the coefficients of the endogenous variables. The unconditional result is considerably simpler than the corresponding result obtained earlier by Phillips (1985), and we indicate how this result can be used to obtain distribution results for the coefficients of the exogenous variables in exactly the manner used in Phillips (1984a) for the ordinary least squares and two-stage least squares estimators. Next, we obtain expressions for the mean square error of the ordinary least squares/two-stage least squares estimators for the coefficients of the exogenous variables. Finally, a number of generalizations of these results are indicated, and we explain briefly how these results can contribute to further attempts to understand the general problems of inference in this model.
title: Strategies to support teachers in order to maintain professional well-being in an online/blended teaching environment

Subjects: subject: Teacher turnover
subject: Blended learning

description: Fully-online and blended-platform educators face challenges as unique as their online teaching environments. Along with developing an engaging program for students, they must manage additional administrative challenges that contribute to an already heavy workload. Subsequently, many teachers report feelings of mounting time pressure and ongoing stress, which may lead to emotional exhaustion and eventually teacher burnout. In an attempt to address a complex issue facing the online teaching community, my Critical Challenge Question, “What supports can be developed to further strengthen the social/emotional well-being of teachers in order to maintain professional well-being in an online/blended teaching environment?” has been the focus of a comprehensive literature analysis. The resulting research has guided development of pragmatic resources in the form of both Teacher and Parent Handbook websites, and streamlines the administration of enrichment funding for home learning families. Feedback provided by new and experienced online teachers lends support to the current iteration of the Major Project websites and will continue to inform future revisions.

description: We compare recent HST observations of Seyfert and quasar NLRs and find that type-2 AGNs follow a relation consistent with that expected for a distribution of gas ionized by a central source R(NLR,2) \propto L^{0.32 +/- 0.05}, while type-1 objects are fit with a steeper slope of 0.55 +/- 0.05. The latter is comparable to the scaling found for the BLR size with continuum luminosity (slope: 0.5-0.7). Therefore, we investigate what we can learn about the BLR size if the NLR size is only determined by the AGN luminosity. We find that NLR and BLR size are related linearly following R(BLR) \propto R(NLR,1)^{0.88 +/- 0.1}. This relation can be used to estimate BH masses.

Tuning of friction noise by accessing the rolling-sliding option

description: Variable power transmission in mechanical systems is often achieved by devices, e.g., clutches and brakes, that use dry friction. In these systems, the variability in power transmission is brought about by engaging and disengaging the friction plates. Though commonly used, this method of making the coupling noisy is not as versatile as their electrical analog. An alternative method would be to intermittently vary the frictional force. In this paper, we demonstrate a self-organized way to tune the noise in the frictional coupling between two surfaces which are in relative motion with each other. This is achieved by exploiting the complexity that arises from the frictional interaction of the balls which are placed in a circular groove between the surfaces. The extent of floppiness in the coupling is related to the rate at which the balls make transitions between their rolling and sliding states. If the moving surface is soft and the static surface is hard we show that with increasing filling fraction of the balls the transitions between rolling and sliding against the static surface give way to the transitions between rolling and sliding against the moving surface. As a consequence, the noise in the coupling is large for both small and large filling fraction with a dip in the middle. In contrast, the sliding with the static surface is suppressed if the moving pate is hard and the noise in the coupling decreases monotonically with the filling fraction of the balls.

title: Revisiting community policing in Ukraine: lessons for police reform
Creators: name: Chistyakova, Yulia
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2010

description: This thesis critically revisits a project in community policing transfer to Ukraine. It examines the genesis, context and impact of the project and 'through this lens explores how community policing can be problematic in a former Soviet society. The study is intended to contribute to debates on the issues of reforming post-Soviet policing and the potential role of criminological imports in this process. The thesis highlights the obstacles to, and challenges of developing community policing within the context of the continued dominance and expanding scope of informal shadowy practices in the governance of policing. It demonstrates the importance of a combination of historical, economic, social and political factors impacting upon the willingness of people in Ukraine to contact the police and engage in crime prevention, and explores why people in Ukraine do not see themselves part of a 'community'. Normative questions posed by the notion of 'public engagement' are also explored. It is argued that 'community policing' as a consensual coproduction of order and safety is unlikely in Ukraine. Community policing practice in this context has a potential to evolve as an authoritarian, moralistic, coercive and exclusive form of control. The thesis challenges the assumption that export of community policing is an unproblematic transfer of expertise and 'best practice', and highlights the problematic nature of the relations between funders, academic entrepreneurs, the local police, academics and the non-governmental sector. The thesis also demonstrates how a commitment to scientific rationalism and a narrow conceptualisation of 'evidence' in evaluation research has political implications.

description: Dominant energy subspaces of statistical systems are defined with the help of restrictive conditions on various characteristics of the energy distribution, such as the probability density and the forth order Binder's cumulant. Our analysis generalizes the ideas of the critical minimum energy-subspace (CrMES) technique \cite{malakis04}, applied previously to study the specific heat's finite-size scaling. Here, we illustrate alternatives that are useful for the analysis of further finite-size anomalies and the behavior of the corresponding dominant subspaces is presented for the 2D Baxter-Wu, the 2D and 3D Ising models. In order to show that a CrMES technique is adequate for the study of magnetic anomalies, we study and test simple methods which provide the means for an accurate determination of the energy - order-parameter ($E-M$) histograms via Wang-Landau random walks. The 2D Ising model is used as a test case and it is shown that high-level Wang-Landau sampling schemes yield excellent estimates for all magnetic properties. Our estimates compare very well with those of the traditional Metropolis method. The relevant dominant energy subspaces and dominant magnetization subspaces scale as expected with exponents $α/ν$ and $γ/ν$ respectively. Using the Metropolis method we examine the time evolution of the corresponding dominant magnetization subspaces and we uncover the reasons behind the inadequacy of the Metropolis method to produce a reliable estimation scheme for the tail-regime of the order parameter distribution.

description: Государственные и муниципальные программы стали составной частью механизма осуществления бюджетных расходов в результате крупной реформы бюджетного процесса, проведенной в 2013 году. Принято считать, что с этого времени в бюджетную деятельность государства произошло внедрение программно-целевого принципа бюджетирования, ориентированного на результат. Данный принцип предполагает включение максимально возможной части общего годового объема расходов бюджета в состав государственных (муниципальных) программ, определяющих результаты использования бюджетных средств. Таким образом, исполнение закона о бюджете приобретает строгую направленность на достижение конкретных целей, что выгодно отличается от применявшейся ранее затратной модели финансирования, не решавшей задачу результативности и эффективности бюджетных расходов. Тем не менее, указанная реформа не привела к должному состоянию бюджетной деятельности государства, которая по-прежнему недостаточно результативна и малоэффективна. Причины такого положения дел во многом (хотя и не только в этом) кроются в процессе исполнения государственных программ, который сталкивается с проблемами слабого взаимодействия организаций, участвующих в реализации государственных программ, формалистского подхода при осуществлении бюджетных расходов, предусмотренных на данные программы, смещением приоритетов контрольной деятельности в сторону второстепенных задач, отсутствием должного внимания к эффективности этих программ.

description: A two-offspring branching annihilating random walk model, with finite reaction rates, is studied in one-dimension. The model exhibits a transition from an active to an absorbing phase, expected to belong to the $DP2$ universality class embracing systems that possess two symmetric absorbing states, which in one-dimensional systems, is in many cases equivalent to parity conservation. The phase transition is studied analytically through a mean-field like modification of the so-called {\it parity interval method}. The original method of parity intervals allows for an exact analysis of the diffusion-controlled limit of infinite reaction rate, where there is no active phase and hence no phase transition. For finite rates, we obtain a surprisingly good description of the transition which compares favorably with the outcome of Monte Carlo simulations. This provides one of the first analytical attempts to deal with the broadly studied DP2 universality class.

Introducing the Dirac effective masses leads to an in-medium reduction of the cross section. The experimental data on pion multiplicities from the collisions of Ca+Ca, Ru+Ru and Au+Au at 0.4-1.5 A GeV are well described by BUU calculations with the in-medium cross section.

The effects of sweetener information on caloric consumption

description: Background: The obesity prevalence has reached epidemic levels. Studies show disruption in regulating satiety cues in rats after consuming artificial sweeteners, leading to weight gain. Increased energy intake post-consumption of artificial sweeteners has also been studied in humans, as well as psychological manipulations that subsequently impact consumption. Objectives: Through analyzing “artificial” versus “natural”, this study stipulates that the information given about a product can result in increased food intake due to perceived healthiness of the product.Method: Subjects were 67 undergraduate students, assigned to one of four groups. All received either artificially or naturally sweetened pudding. Half of the participants were told accurate information about the pudding and half were told inaccurate information. After an hour gap, subjects returned for snacks. Total calories consumed were calculated, serving as dependent variables for the study.Results: Regardless of what kind of sweetener was used, the information given to the participant influenced how much they consumed, with those believing they had consumed a natural sweetened pudding consuming the most. Conclusion: Information given influences how much one consumes; specifically, those told that they had consumed a natural pudding ate more than those who were told they had consumed an artificial pudding. Perhaps deeming a product to be “natural” implies that the product is healthful and gives the subject the perceived freedom to eat more on a subsequent occasion. This pattern, if sustained, could also contribute to the obesity epidemic.

Algebraic entropy fixes and convex limiting for continuous finite element discretizations of scalar hyperbolic conservation laws

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Numerical Analysis (math.NA)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: In this work, we modify a continuous Galerkin discretization of a scalar hyperbolic conservation law using new algebraic correction procedures. Discrete entropy conditions are used to determine the minimal amount of entropy stabilization and constrain antidiffusive corrections of a property-preserving low-order scheme. The addition of a second-order entropy dissipative component to the antidiffusive part of a nearly entropy conservative numerical flux is generally insufficient to prevent violations of local bounds in shock regions. Our monolithic convex limiting technique adjusts a given target flux in a manner which guarantees preservation of invariant domains, validity of local maximum principles, and entropy stability. The new methodology combines the advantages of modern entropy stable/entropy conservative schemes and their local extremum diminishing counterparts. The process of algebraic flux correction is based on inequality constraints which provably provide the desired properties. No free parameters are involved. The proposed algebraic fixes are readily applicable to unstructured meshes, finite element methods, general time discretizations, and steady-state residuals. Numerical studies of explicit entropy-constrained schemes are performed for linear and nonlinear test problems.

description: Geographical Indications (GIs) are a major intellectual asset as a tool for ensuring the benefits and distinctiveness of unique agricultural products while protecting consumer interests. Furthermore, GIs—as indicators of quality, reputation, and other characteristics linked to origin—serve as a legal and economic mechanism for development, market access, local distribution of added value, preservation of diversity and cultural heritage, and environmental sustainability. Recent inclusion of GIs regulations within important trade agreements signed by the European Union (South Korea, Central America and Canada), announce a very interesting negotiation under the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership Agreement (TTIP) with the United States. These new legal instruments may facilitate long expected improvement in fundamental industrial property rights for global trade and the revision of the Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights Agreement (TRIPS Agreement).This contribution provides a legal analysis on the feasibility of, and grounds for, an effective regulatory GI framework. Based on the complexities of existing models for the protection of agricultural products through traditional trademarks or a sui generis GI system, this dissertation provides a new concept of GIs protection including certification, registration, fair trade, and the interest of developing countries to overcome the current legal schemes.

description: Under the Born--Markov approximation, a qubit system, such as a two-level atom, is known to undergo a memoryless decay of quantum coherence or excitation when weakly coupled to a featureless environment. Recently, it has been shown that unavoidable disorder in the environment is responsible for non-Markovian effects and information backflow from the environment into the system owing to Anderson localization. This~turns disorder into a resource for enhancing non-Markovianity in the system--environment dynamics, which could be of relevance in cavity quantum electrodynamics. Here we consider the decoherence dynamics of a qubit weakly coupled to a two-dimensional bath with a nontrivial topological phase, such as a two-level atom embedded in a two-dimensional coupled-cavity array with a synthetic gauge field realizing a quantum-Hall bath, and~show that Markovianity is protected against moderate disorder owing to the robustness of chiral edge modes in the quantum-Hall bath. Interestingly, switching off the gauge field, i.e., flipping the bath into a topological trivial phase, allows one to re-introduce non-Markovian effects. Such a result indicates that changing the topological phase of a bath by a tunable synthetic gauge field can be harnessed to control non-Markovian effects and quantum information backflow in a qubit-environment system.

description: We developed and tested a new approach to treat low energy electron collisions with molecular clusters, called Multiple Scattering, which simplifies the scattering process by dividing the target cluster into molecular sub-units; ab initio methods are employed to calculate collisional data for the electron - sub-unit scattering process, which is later combined by the Multiple Scattering method to account for the interference between sub-units. We applied the novel method to the scattering from water and formic acid clusters; the results (cross sections) were compared to other theoretical and experimental results, showing good agreement. The ab initio R-matrix method was employed both for producing the collisional information on the sub-units and also for calculating comparison cross sections where previous results were not available.

description: Using Dolgushev's generalization of Fedosov's method for deformation quantization, we give a positive answer to a question of P.Xu: can one prove a formality theorem for Lie algebroids ? As a direct application of this result, we obtain that any triangular Lie bialgebroid is quantizable.

title: Market for corporate control and European utilities

description: Mergers and acquisitions of European utility sectors subsequent to privatisation and deregulation triggered widespread concern. This is primarily due to the crucial role played by utility sectors in a country's economic and social development for being providers of essential services. The general political consensus is that the utility sectors should be economically regulated. So there is limited scope for the investors in utility sectors to cam supernormal profits. This calls for a need to examine whether M&A of utilities create value for the shareholders. In addition given the continuing trend of M&A in European utility sectors it is also vital to understand the motives behind such large scale M&A in utility sectors. So the objective of this thesis is to examine the causes and consequences of M&A in European utility sectors from a finance theory perspective. From the study of a sample of 156 cases of M&A within utility sectors in Europe between 1990 and 2006 this thesis provide mixed evidence on the performance of utility sectors following M&A. On one hand the findings suggest that economic regulation of utilities acted as a good safeguard for the utility sectors from suffering losses following M&A. This is evidenced from the lower level of losses accrued to the acquirer shareholders. Evidence of synergy motive behind M&A of European utility sectors also suggests that effective regulation prevented M&A of utilities that are not motivated by synergy. From an economic policy perspective this result bears important policy implications as it suggests that M&A in utility sectors should be passed through effective regulatory scrutiny. On the other hand the fact that acquirer shareholders in the short run and the combined shareholders in the long run have suffered losses triggers a negative signal for the investors in utilities. This also has policy implications as it suggests that investors should be careful to adopt the strategy of M&A. This thesis also finds that the short run changes in shareholder returns are not explained by any explanatory variables. However in the long run post merger period the shareholder returns of the utility companies that were subject to privatisation earned higher returns compared to those firms which were in private sector since their inception. One likely reason for this outcome is that privatisation has led to increase in efficiency of the utility companies as reported by the extant studies. In addition evidence from this thesis indicates that in the initial post merger period the shareholders under cross-border M&A faced some barriers to entry but as the length of the post merger period increased they had overcome these barriers to entry in a foreign land. Taken together this thesis provides significant contribution both in the area of research on utility sectors as well as finance literature on M&A.

description: Neutron rich Ca and Ni nuclei have been studied in spherical Relativistic Mean Field formalism in co-ordinate space. A delta interaction has been has been adopted to treat the pairing correlations for the neutrons. Odd nuclei have been treated in the blocking approximation. The effect of the positive energy continuum and the role of pairing in the stability of nuclei have been investigated using the resonant-BCS (rBCS) approach. In Ca isotopes, N=50 is no longer a magic number while in Ni nuclei, a new magic number emerges at N=70. There is a remarkable difference in the relative positions of the drip lines for odd and even isotopes. In Ca isotopes, the last bound even and odd nuclei are found to be $^{72}$Ca and $^{59}$Ca, respectively. In Ni isotopes, the corresponding nuclei are $^{98}$Ni and $^{97}$Ni, respectively. The origin of this difference in relative positions of the dripline in even and odd isotopes in the two chain is traced to the difference in the single particle level structures and consequent modification in the magic numbers in the two elements. Pairing interaction is seen to play a major role. The effect of the width of the resonance states on pairing has also been investigated.

description: We present a first-principles density-functional calculation for the Raman spectra of a neutral BEDT-TTF molecule. Our results are in excellent agreement with experimental results. We show that a planar structure is not a stable state of a neutral BEDT-TTF molecule. We consider three possible conformations and discuss their relation to disorder in these systems.

Ground-state baryons in nonperturbative quark dynamics

description: We review the results obtained in an Effective Hamiltonian (EH) approach for the three-quark systems. The EH is derived starting from the Feynman--Schwinger representation for the gauge-invariant Green function of the three quarks propagating in the nonperturbative QCD vacuum and assuming the minimal area law for the asymptotic of the Wilson loop. It furnishes the QCD consistent framework within which to study baryons. The EH has the form of the nonrelativistic three-quark Hamiltonian with the perturbative Coulomb-like and nonperturbative string interactions and the specific mass term. After outlining the approach, methods of calculations of the baryon eigenenergies and some simple applications are explained in details. With only two parameters: the string tension $σ=0.15 GeV^2$ and the strong coupling constant $α_s=0.39$ a unified quantitative description of the ground state light and heavy baryons is achieved. The prediction of masses of the doubly heavy baryons not discovered yet are also given. In particular, a mass of $3660 MeV$ for the lightest $Ξ_{cc}$ baryon is found by employing the hyperspherical formalism to the three quark confining potential with the string junction.
