description: I spent three weeks in July and August conducting research for my dissertation at Burke Library at Union Theological Seminary. My dissertation explores German conceptions of space and race in today's mainland Tanzania at the outset of German colonization there. For many people living in German East Africa, missionaries were there primary contact with the European presence. Missionaries, both Protestant and Catholic, became imbricated in local social and political networks. Missionary publications and reports are therefore the best source for learning about local societies, at least for the first decade of German colonization
title: Studies of Molecular Precursors Used in FEBID Fabrication of Nanostructures

description: The adoption of nanotechnology is increasingly important in many aspects of our daily life influencing the clothes we wear and most of the electronic devices we use while also underpinning the development of drugs and medical techniques that we will need at some point in our lives. The methods by which nanoscale devices are fabricated is changing from a 'top down' etching based procedure to a 'bottom up' molecule by molecule deposition and assembly. The focus of the present research is the development, design, and analysis of new precursors for focused electron beam induced deposition (FEBID) and extreme ultraviolet nanolithography (EUVL) through a large pool of experimental and computational resources. The research is divided into two areas: gas - phase analysis of precursors (largely used for fragment and radicals' analysis, and molecular design) and surface and deposition science (physical deposition of precursors, simulation analysis of surface - molecule interactions and characterization of deposition processes to obtain optimal process parameters for molecular structures). It is necessary to collect data such as cross sections of electron - molecule interactions e.g., dissociative ionization (DI) and dissociative electron attachment (DEA) to provide accurate simulations that can be used to improve the FEBID and EUVL while understanding surface processes such as molecular absorption and diffusion to determine the structure and purity of the nanostructures formed by these methods. The objective of this thesis is to provide a gas - phase and deposition analysis of potential and widely used precursors for FEBID and EUVL at the nanoscale. To achieve this the experimental technique of velocity sliced map imaging (VsMI) was used in conjunction with theoretical tools such as density functional theory (DFT) simulations using Gaussian 16 software and evaluation of cross-section data for molecular dissociation at low electron energies of 0 - 20 eV using Quantemol-N. Results of the gas - phase analysis of negative ionic fragments formed by DEA and DI with their appearance, dissociation and ionization energies, angular distributions and kinetic energies, cross-sections for DEA fragmentation at low energy and excited states calculations at values up to 10 eV are presented. These results are used as the inputs to the models of the FEBID processes. The electronic, structural, and kinetic properties of several FEBID precursors are explored, and FEBID method used to create nanostructures using a Zeiss MeRiT SEM with GEMINI column operated at 20 kV. Analysis of the deposits was performed using EDX and atomic force microscopy (AFM) analysis as well as electron stimulated desorption (ESD) and temperature programmed desorption (TPD). Complementary simulations of the dynamics of processes at the surface were studied using MBN Explorer and surface - molecule interactions with great results in simulating the deposition process of islands and structures (results presented in Chapter 8).

description: Es gibt nach wie vor viele inaktive, wenig und unregelmässig sportlich aktive Personen (z. B. European Commission, 2018; Lamprecht et al., 2020). Ein möglicher Grund für die Inaktivität kann die fehlende Passung zwischen der Person und dem Sport sein. Hierbei könnte eine individuelle Sportberatung Unterstützung bieten, weil eine für die Person passende Sportaktivität gefunden (Schmid, Sudeck et al., 2021) und damit das Aufrechterhalten der Sportaktivität begünstigt wird. Aufbauend auf den Erkenntnissen des Forschungsprojekts «Welcher Sport für wen?» (Sudeck & Conzelmann, 2010) war das Ziel der vorliegenden Dissertation, einen theoriebasierten Ansatz für eine individuelle Sportberatung zu konzipieren, umzusetzen, zu evaluieren und dessen Wirksamkeit zu überprüfen. Die drei Beiträge dieser Dissertation decken diese verschiedenen Phasen von der Konzeptidee bis zur Umsetzung ab. Im ersten Beitrag wurde der neu konzipierte COMET-Ansatz vorgestellt und dessen Umsetzung evaluiert. Die Befunde zeigen, dass der COMET-Ansatz bei einer nicht-klinischen Stichprobe wie vorgesehen umgesetzt werden kann. Die Teilnehmenden sind mit der Sportberatung zufrieden und erachten sie als nützlich. Die Evaluation des COMET-Ansatzes ist folglich geglückt. Im COMET-Ansatz ist unter anderem die motivationale Kompetenz (Rheinberg, 2010; Rheinberg & Vollmeyer, 2018) von zentraler Bedeutung. Allerdings liegt für dieses Konstrukt noch kein Messinstrument vor, deswegen wurde im zweiten Beitrag eine Skala entwickelt, die zur Messung der motivationalen Kompetenz eingesetzt werden kann. Die eindimensionale Skala erwies sich als reliabel, valide und ökonomisch. Auf diesen beiden Beiträgen aufbauend wurde im dritten Beitrag die Wirksamkeit des COMET-Ansatzes hinsichtlich psychologischer Variablen (u. a. motivationale Kompetenz) und dem Sportvolumen überprüft. Die neu entwickelte Skala konnte bei der Wirksamkeitsüberprüfung sogleich eingesetzt werden. Die Befunde zeigen, dass der COMET-Ansatz einen positiven Effekt auf die motivationale Kompetenz, die bewegungsspezifische Selbstkontrolle sowie das Sportvolumen hat. Im Hinblick auf das Ziel der Dissertation lässt sich zusammenfassen, dass der COMET-Ansatz zielführend konzipiert, wie geplant umgesetzt und positiv evaluiert werden konnte (Beitrag 1). Die motivationale Kompetenz kann mit der neu entwickelten Skala reliabel und valide erfasst werden (Beitrag 2). Zudem wurde mit der Wirksamkeitsüberprüfung ein positiver Einfluss auf motivationale und volitionale Konstrukte sowie das Sportverhalten von gesunden Personen aufgezeigt (Beitrag 3). Der theoriebasierte COMET-Ansatz hat sich somit in der Praxis bewährt.

Drinking water--Arsenic content

description: Objective: To reduce arsenic (As) exposure, we evaluated the effectiveness of training community members to perform water arsenic (WAs) testing and provide As education compared to sending representatives from outside communities to conduct these tasks. Methods: We conducted a cluster based randomized controlled trial of 20 villages in Singair, Bangladesh. Fifty eligible respondents were randomly selected in each village. In 10 villages, a community member provided As education and WAs testing. In a second set of 10 villages an outside representative performed these tasks. Results: Overall, 53% of respondents using As contaminated wells, relative to the Bangladesh As standard of 50 μg/L, at baseline switched after receiving the intervention. Further, when there was less than 60% arsenic contaminated wells in a village, the classification used by the Bangladeshi and UNICEF, 74% of study households in the community tester villages, and 72% of households in the outside tester villages reported switching to an As safe drinking water source . Switching was more common in the outside-tester (63%) versus community-tester villages (44%). However, after adjusting for the availability of arsenic safe drinking water sources, well switching did not differ significantly by type of As tester (Odds ratio =0.86[95% confidence interval 0.42-1.77). At follow-up, among those using As contaminated wells who switched to safe wells, average urinary As concentrations significantly decreased. Conclusion: The overall intervention was effective in reducing As exposure provided there were As-safe drinking water sources available. However, there was not a significant difference observed in the ability of the community and outside testers to encourage study households to use As-safe water sources. The findings of this study suggest that As education and WAs testing programs provided by As testers, irrespective of their residence, could be used as an effective, low cost approach to reduce As exposure in many As-affected areas of Bangladesh.

description: Over the summer of 2013, in Columbia University’s Rare Book and Manuscript archives, I conducted dissertation research made possible through funding by the Columbia University Library Research Award. This archival research focused on collections relating to the Beat Generation in order to advance my dissertation, “Roads of Rebellion: Cultural Contributions by Women of the Beat Generation.” I sought not only primary documents pertaining to the subjects of my dissertation—the female Beats, but also I positioned the archives themselves as a cultural site, determining how their organization might shape or reflect contemporary understandings of the women of the Beat Generation. While in the archives, then, my agenda was twofold: First, I would investigate collections belonging to women of the Beat Generation for a greater understanding of biographical and historical context and for primary source material. Then, I would look for the presence or absence of female Beats within collections belonging to their male Beat counterparts for a picture of how the archives may be replicated in or modeled after current scholarship, where attention to women of the Beat Generation often depends on a relationship to certain men.

Gathering Up the ‘Pieces of [His] Youth’: A Study of Tennessee Williams’ Non-Fiction

description: Tennessee Williams wrote almost daily for over forty years, leaving behind him a trove of manuscripts that editors are only now beginning to discover. Previously unpublished work of his has thus appeared almost yearly in journals and in book form since the mid-1990s, attesting to the fact that Williams is enjoying a literary afterlife as fertile as the one he knew while he was still alive. My research at Columbia University’s Rare Book & Manuscript Library (RBML) hopes to contribute to prolonging that afterlife. During my research stay at the RBML this past August, I was able to examine many of Williams’s non-fiction manuscripts, in particular those related directly or indirectly to his Memoirs, published in 1975

description: Simple models for the flexure of the lithosphere caused by the load of the Great Meteor seamount have been determined for different assumed values of the effective flexural rigidity of the lithosphere. The models utilize a new method for determining the flexure of the lithosphere caused by a three-dimensional load. The gravity effect of the models has been computed and compared with observed free-air anomalies in the vicinity of the seamount. Computations show that the observed free-air anomalies can be most satisfactorily explained for an assumed effective flexural rigidity of the lithosphere of about 6×10²⁹ dyn cm. This value, which is similar to other values determined for loads of different ages, suggests that the oceanic lithosphere is rigid enough to support applied loads for periods of time of at least several tens of millions of years.
Magnetic properties and Mott transition in the Hubbard model on the anisotropic triangular lattice

description: Magnetic phase diagram and Mott transition are studied in the Hubbard model on the anisotropic triangular lattice at zero temperature and half-filling by the variational cluster approximation, taking into account Néel, 120$^\circ$ Néel, and collinear orderings. Paramagnetic insulator (spin liquid) is realized above the metallic phase around the isotropic point. In general, this spin liquid state, continuously connected with the metallic state, changes to a magnetic state as the on-site Coulomb repulsion $U$ increases, but it persists up to large $U$ limit in a small window between 120$^\circ$ Néel and collinear phases. For very large $U$ another spin liquid state, separated from the metallic state by magnetic states, emerges around a narrow region where both Néel and 120$^\circ$ Néel orderings are highly suppressed due to the frustration and anisotropy. Implications for the $κ$-(BEDT-TTF)$_2$Cu$_2$(CN)$_3$ are discussed. As for the Mott transition, the structure of the self-energy in the spectral representation is studied in detail. As $U$ increases around the Mott transition point, single dispersion evolves in the spectral weights of the self-energy which splits the non-interacting band into the upper and lower Hubbard bands.

description: The United States has received more refugees from the Democratic Republic of the Congo than any other country in recent years, and with the conflict ongoing, understanding their perspectives and experiences continues to be increasingly important. In this paper, I follow a thread of semiotic activity and the formation of an axis of differentiation around the refugee figure and the process of assimilation in the United States. I do so by tracing this narrative through sources considered as both sites of semiotic activity and as text-artifacts; from human rights declarations, to ensuing U.S. policy, to the websites of refugee-serving organizations in Chicago and interviews they have done with refugees from the DRC, ending with an analysis of In the Midst of the Congo War, which serves as a contrasting perspective to the previous sources. In doing so, I seek to answer the question: “What do the narratives surrounding language use by refugees from the DRC tell us about the language ideologies in the United States and these refugees’ position in U.S. society, what might we learn through comparing this with their language use in their home country, and what implications does this have for their lives and well-being here in the United States?”. The paper ends with an exploration of the potential implications of the formation of this axis of differentiation, and the resultant erasure of narratives that fall outside of its scope, on refugees’ mental health and well-being

Gravity Anomalies and Flexure of the Lithosphere along the Hawaiian-Emperor Seamount Chain

Subjects: subject: Geophysics

description: Simple models for the flexure of the lithosphere caused by the load of the Hawaiian-Emperor Seamount Chain have been determined for different values of the effective flexural rigidity of the lithosphere. The gravity effect of the models have been computed and compared to observed free-air gravity anomaly profiles in the vicinity of the seamount chain. The values of the effective flexural rigidity which most satisfactorily explain both the amplitude and wavelength of the observed profiles have been determined. Computations show that if the lithosphere is modelled as a continuous elastic sheet, a single effective flexural rigidity of about 5 × 10²⁹ dyne-cm can explain profiles along the Hawaiian-Emperor Seamount Chain. If the lithosphere is modelled as a discontinuous elastic sheet an effective flexural rigidity of about 2 × 10³⁰ dyne-cm is required. Since the age of the seamount chain increases from about 3 My near Hawaii to about 70 My near the northernmost Emperor seamount these results suggest there is apparently little decrease in the effective flexural rigidity of the lithosphere with increase in the age of loading. This suggests the lithosphere is rigid enough to support the load of the seamount chain for periods of time of at least several tens of millions of years. Thus the subsidence of atolls and guyots along the chain is most likely to be regional in extent and is unlikely to be caused by an inelastic behaviour of the lithosphere beneath individual seamounts.
Improving HyLTL model checking of hybrid systems

Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Logic in Computer Science (cs.LO)

description: The problem of model-checking hybrid systems is a long-time challenge in the scientific community. Most of the existing approaches and tools are either limited on the properties that they can verify, or restricted to simplified classes of systems. To overcome those limitations, a temporal logic called HyLTL has been recently proposed. The model checking problem for this logic has been solved by translating the formula into an equivalent hybrid automaton, that can be analized using existing tools. The original construction employs a declarative procedure that generates exponentially many states upfront, and can be very inefficient when complex formulas are involved. In this paper we solve a technical issue in the construction that was not considered in previous works, and propose a new algorithm to translate HyLTL into hybrid automata, that exploits optimized techniques coming from the discrete LTL community to build smaller automata.

description: The last interglacial interval was terminated by the inception of a long, progressive glaciation that is attributed to astronomically influenced changes in the seasonal distribution of sunlight over the earth. However, the feedbacks, internal dynamics, and global teleconnections associated with declining northern summer insolation remain incompletely understood. Here we show that a crucial early step in glacial inception involves the weakening of the subpolar gyre (SPG) circulation of the North Atlantic Ocean. Detailed new records of microfossil foraminifera abundance and stable isotope ratios in deep sea sediments from Ocean Drilling Program site 984 south of Iceland reveal repeated, progressive cold water-mass expansions into subpolar latitudes during the last peak interglacial interval, marine isotope substage 5e. These movements are expressed as a sequence of progressively extensive southward advances and subsequent retreats of a hydrographic boundary that may have been analogous to the modern Arctic front, and associated with rapid changes in the strength of the SPG. This persistent millennial-scale oceanographic oscillation accompanied a long-term cooling trend at a time of slowly declining northern summer insolation, providing an early link in the propagation of those insolation changes globally, and resulting in a rapid transition from extensive regional warmth to the dramatic instability of the subsequent ∼100 ka.

description: In the phenomenon of electromagnetically induced transparency1 (EIT) of a three-level atomic system, the linear susceptibility at the dipole-allowed transition is canceled through destructive interference of the direct transition and an indirect transition pathway involving a meta-stable level, enabled by optical pumping. EIT not only leads to light transmission at otherwise opaque atomic transition frequencies, but also results in the slowing of light group velocity and enhanced optical nonlinearity. In this letter, we report an analogous behavior, denoted as phonon-induced transparency (PIT), in AB-stacked bilayer graphene nanoribbons. Here, light absorption due to the plasmon excitation is suppressed in a narrow window due to the coupling with the infrared active Γ-point optical phonon, whose function here is similar to that of the meta-stable level in EIT of atomic systems. We further show that PIT in bilayer graphene is actively tunable by electrostatic gating, and estimate a maximum slow light factor of around 500 at the phonon frequency of 1580 cm-1, based on the measured spectra. Our demonstration opens an avenue for the exploration of few-photon non-linear optics and slow light in this novel two-dimensional material, without external optical pumping and at room temperature.

description: By investigating the distribution of phrase pairs in phrase translation tables, the work in this paper describes an approach to increase the number of n-gram alignments in phrase translation tables output by a sampling-based alignment method. This approach consists in enforcing the alignment of n-grams in distinct translation subtables so as to increase the number of n-grams. Standard normal distribution is used to allot alignment time among translation subtables, which results in adjustment of the distribution of n- grams. This leads to better evaluation results on statistical machine translation tasks than the original sampling-based alignment approach. Furthermore, the translation quality obtained by merging phrase translation tables computed from the sampling-based alignment method and from MGIZA++ is examined.

description: A new andrastin-type meroterpenoid penimerodione A (1), and three known analogues (2-4), were isolated from the culture of a marine-derived fungus Penicillium chrysogenum HNNU w0032 by the guidance of MS/MS-based molecular networking. The planar structure of 1 was established by extensive NMR spectroscopic and HRESIMS analyses, and the absolute configuration was elucidated by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Compound 1 showed significant inhibitory effect on NO production in LPS-stimulated BV-2 macrophages with an IC50 value of 5.9 ± 0.3 μM. The Western blot result revealed that compound 1 exerted an anti-neuroinflammatory effect via the MAPK signalling pathway.

description: We present dark-matter minihalo models for the Ultra-Compact High Velocity HI Clouds (UCHVCs) recently discovered in the 21 cm ALFALFA survey. We assume gravitational confinement of 10^4 K HI gas by flat-cored dark-matter subhalos within the Local Group. We show that for flat cores, typical (median) tidally-stripped cosmological subhalos at redshift z=0 have dark-matter masses of ~10^7 M_{sun} within the central 300 pc (independent of total halo mass), consistent with the "Strigari mass scale" observed in low-luminosity dwarf galaxies. Flat-cored subhalos also resolve the mass-discrepancy between simulated and observed satellites around the Milky Way. For the UCHVCs we calculate the photoionization-limited hydrostatic gas profiles for any distance-dependent total observed HI mass and predict the associated (projected) HI half-mass radii, assuming the clouds are embedded in distant (d > 300 kpc) and unstripped subhalos. For a typical UCHVC (0.9 Jy km/s) we predict physical HI half-mass radii of 0.18 to 0.35 kpc (or angular sizes of 0.6 to 2.1 arcmin) for distances ranging from 300 kpc to 2 Mpc. As a consistency check we model the gas rich dwarf galaxy Leo T, for which there is a well-resolved HI column density profile and a known distance (420 kpc). For Leo T we find that a subhalo with M_{300} ~ 8 (+/-0.2) 10^6 M_{sun} best fits the observed HI profile. We derive an upper limit of P_{HIM} < 150 K/cm^3 for the pressure of any enveloping hot IGM gas at the distance of Leo T. Our analysis suggests that some of the UCHVCs may in fact constitute a population of 21-cm-selected but optically-faint dwarf galaxies in the Local Group.

description: Combining density-functional theory calculations and microscopic tight-binding models, we investigate theoretically the electronic and magnetic properties of individual substitutional transition-metal impurities (Mn and Fe) positioned in the vicinity of the (110) surface of GaAs. For the case of the $[\rm Mn^{2+}]^0$ plus acceptor-hole (h) complex, the results of a tight-binding model including explicitly the impurity $d$-electrons are in good agreement with approaches that treat the spin of the impurity as an effective classical vector. For the case of Fe, where both the neutral isoelectronic $[\rm Fe^{3+}]^0$ and the ionized $[\rm Fe^{2+}]^-$ states are relevant to address scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) experiments, the inclusion of $d$-orbitals is essential. We find that the in-gap electronic structure of Fe impurities is significantly modified by surface effects. For the neutral acceptor state $[{\rm Fe}^{2+}, h]^0$, the magnetic-anisotropy dependence on the impurity sublayer resembles the case of $[{\rm Mn}^{2+}, h]^0$. In contrast, for $[{\rm Fe}^{3+}]^{0}$ electronic configuration the magnetic anisotropy behaves differently and it is considerably smaller. For this state we predict that it is possible to manipulate the Fe moment, e.g. by an external magnetic field, with detectable consequences in the local density of states probed by STM.

Working Toward Linguistically and Culturally Responsive Math Teaching through a Year-Long Urban Teacher Training Program for English Learners
Creators: name: Song, Kim

Publisher: name: Journal of Urban Mathematics Education

description: This qualitative study examined how participating in-service teachers demonstrated linguistically and culturally responsive mathematical teaching (LCRMT) competences after they completed a year-long National Professional Development Program grant-funded project. A two-dimensional LCRMT framework was developed to measure participating teachers’ mathematical and mathematics-related competences. The qualitative data source was from three in-service teachers’ observations and interviews. The interview and observation data were analyzed using open and axial coding and activity systems. Three themes emerged: 1) mathematics-related content teaching practices, 2) tools to support mathematics learning, and 3) teachers’ mindsets and attitudes towards English Learner (EL) teaching. The researchers then compared verbatim examples using activity systems to examine the following research question: How did participating urban in-service teachers apply linguistically and culturally responsive mathematics teaching competences for ELs learned at a university EL teacher training program to their actual mathematics teaching in the classroom? The results, in general, indicated that the urban in-service teachers demonstrated improvement of LCRMT strategies that they used in their actual mathematics teaching after they completed the university training. However, challenges in the areas of mathematical discourse competences and teachers’ sociocultural beliefs toward ELs revealed the need for ongoing professional support.

description: We update critical reviews of sites bearing hominin remains and/or tools from Europe (including the Balkans and Greece) and conclude that the only compelling evidence of hominin presence in these regions was after -0.9 Ma (million-years-ago), bracketed by the end of the Jaramillo subchron (0.99 Ma) and the Brunhes/Matuyama boundary (0.78 Ma) and straddling the climatic late Early Pleistocene revolution (EPR) at the onset of enhanced glacialrmterglacial activity that reverberated worldwide. Europe may have become initially populated during the EPR when, possibly for the first time in the Pleistocene, vast and exploitable ecosystems were generated along the Danube- Po Gateway. These newly formed settings, characterized by lowlands with open grasslands and reduced woody cover during glacial/ interglacial transitions, represented the closest analogues to the savanna environment to which several large mammals linked with hominins in a common food web were adapted. It was only after stable and vast grassland-savanna environments opened that large mammals (e.g. megaherbivores) could expand into Europe along the Danube-Po Gateway in conjunction with the attached food web to which hominins belonged.

description: The current article reviews several common areas of focus in quantitative methods with the hope of providing Journal of Urban Mathematics Education (JUME) readers and researchers with some guidance on conducting and reporting quantitative analyses. After providing some background for the discussion, the methodological nature of recent JUME articles is reviewed, followed by commentary on key challenges and recommendations for strong practice in quantitative methodology. The review addresses causal inferences, measurement issues, handling missing data, testing for assumptions, dealing with nested data, and providing evidence for outcomes. Enhanced quantitative training and resources for doctoral students, authors, reviewers, and editors is recommended.

description: Our purpose in this article was to provide researchers using NCES datasets to analyze secondary students’ mathematics achievement in urban schools with methodological considerations and analytical suggestions. We are hopeful that researchers interested in students’ mathematics achievement in urban schools will consider accessing and using NCES studies to deepen our collective understanding beyond IES summary statistics featured in reports such as NAEP and TIMMS and tables from The Condition of Education. We believe that studies of large-scale data that are attentive to the methodological considerations of complex sampling, data clustering and causal inference, will contribute nuanced perspectives of promising policy and practice directions for improving disparities in urban secondary school students’ inequitable mathematics achievement outcomes.

description: We predict that a low-permittivity oblate body (disk-shaped object) above a thin metal substrate (plate with a hole) immersed in a fluidof intermediate permittivity will experience a meta-stable equilibrium (restoring force) near the center of the hole. Stability is the result of a geometry-induced transition in the sign of the force, from repulsive to attractive, that occurs as the disk approaches the hole---in planar or nearly-planar geometries, the same material combination yields a repulsive force at all separations in accordance with the Dzyaloshinskii--Lifshitz--Pitaevskii condition of fluid-induced repulsion between planar bodies. We explore the stability of the system with respect to rotations and lateral translations of the disks, and demonstrate interesting transitions (bifurcations) in the rotational stability of the disks as a function of their size. Finally, we consider the reciprocal situation in which the disk--plate materials are interchanged, and find that in this case the system also exhibits meta-stability. The forces in the system are sufficiently large to be observed in experiments and should enable measurements based on the diffusion dynamics of the suspended bodies.
