Effects of Military and Economic Aid on Terrorism: A Long- and Short-Term Analysis
Creators: name: Parker, Haley
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2021

description: This paper asks whether U.S.aid reduces terrorism. Foreign assistance may be of two types: socio-economic aid (aims to address the root causes of terrorism by improving health care, education, justice systems, infrastructure, etc. in the recipient country) and military aid (designed to fight terrorism with force and manifests as military operations in a recipient country). Most countries receive both military aid and socio-economic US aid for long spells of time. This is why this research asks: 1) how economic and military types of aid influence terrorism over time, and 2) whether and how economic aid and military types of aid interact with each other to shape terrorist activity in recipient countries.
My argument is that military and economic types of aid have varying effects over time. Socio-economic aid will likely reduce terrorist activity in the long-term as it alleviates grievances that boost recruitment by extremist organizations, however, it may increase terrorist activity in the short run, because it provides easy targets to terrorist groups. Military aid suppresses militant organizations in the short-term through “decapitation”and cutting off logistical support, reducing the number of terrorist attacks that originate from the recipient country. On the other hand, casualties among civilians that accompany such military operations may backfire by propelling long-term recruitment by terrorist organizations, leading to more attacks in the future.
To test my argument, I analyze time-series cross-sectional data on U.S economic and military aid and terrorist activity during 1946–2010 across 142 countries. My key findings include: 1) in the models with country-level fixed effects, aid has no systematic effect on terrorism, 2) when considering the impact of economic aid on terrorism, when no military aid is provided, economic aid in the previous year is associated with a modest increase in terrorism, while economic aid provided in the previous 7 to 10 years is associated with a modest reduction in terrorism.

description: We present a crude Matrix Theory model for Schwarzchild black holes in uncompactified dimension greater than $5$. The model accounts for the size, entropy, and long range state interactions of black holes. The key feature of the model is a Boltzmann gas of D0 branes, a concept which depends on certain qualitative features of Matrix Theory which have not previously been utilized in studies of black holes.

Parents' Perceptions of Life Skill Development and Satisfaction with Utah 4-H
Creators: name: Perry, Oakley G.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2021

description: The 4-H program is the nation’s largest youth development program with near six million members nationwide. Utah 4-H provides this program to the residents of Utah through Utah State University’s Extension Service. The program focuses on teaching life skills to youth to prepare them for their future using hands on educational programs tied to project areas, or particular topics like equine science or fine arts. Utah 4-H has many different stakeholders, one of which being the parents of its members. For youth programs to continue to be successful, these programs must show stakeholders their significance and ensure that its audience is meeting desired outcomes.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate parents’ perceptions of Utah 4-H. To accomplish this the study sought to identify emerging issues impacting youth, parent perceptions of life skills development, and parent satisfaction with Utah 4-H.
Parents perceived that Utah 4-H should create programs addressing health, appropriate technology use, mental health, and financial literacy. As for life skill development, all 36 life skill presented showed a need for further development from Utah 4-H. Through reallocation of resources and policy changes, Utah 4-H can better teach life skills to its members. With the exception of one item, parents were moderately satisfied with Utah 4-H on each component of the program presented and overall, as well.

description: Facility location problems constitute an area of study that has been extensively researched due to the opportunities presented for small businesses and corporations to increase their efficiency and profitability. Numerous models have been developed in an attempt to find solutions to such problems; two of these include the set-covering problem (SCP) and the maximal covering location problem (MCLP). Applications of these two covering models have been used to find optimal locations for public and private facilities such as fire stations, police stations and retail stores. This study applies the SCP and MCLP to find good locations for bike sharing stations in the City of Richmond. Multiple iterations of the SCP and MCLP for Bike Stations models are performed for each of the individual “bike demand” criteria, along with additional iterations using various combinations of service distances and station numbers. Each of these iterations provide varying results of demand covered; station recommendations are made using a combined analysis, and suggestions for model improvements and future applications are discussed.
Mirror Matter MACHOs

description: We propose that the massive compact halo objects (MACHOs) observed in the recent microlensing experiments with an apparent best fit mass of about $0.5 M_{\odot}$ are objects made out of ``mirror'' baryonic matter rather than familiar baryons. Such a possibility arises naturally within the framework of mirror matter models proposed recently to accomodate the sterile neutrinos that seem necessary to solve all the neutrino puzzles simultaneusly. We show that for mirror matter parameters that fit the neutrino observations, the maximum mass of mirror stars are of order $0.5 M_{\odot}$ and their main sequence lifetime is much less than the age of the universe. They are therefore likely to be black holes. Mirror matter machos have the advantage that they do not suffer from the problems encountered in the conventional red, brown or white dwarf interpretation. The calculations also apply to the question of how the world of familiar matter would be different if all fundamental mass parameters were.

Metrology of high aspect ratio nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS)
Creators: name: Kwan, Frederic
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2023

description: This thesis investigates the possibility of substituting optical imaging of nano-electro-mechanical systems (NEMS) for the lengthy and costly process of scanning electron microscope inspection. Although image details are both modified and degraded by diffraction, nanoscale features can be seen in experimental images from conventional light microscopes, and excellent contrast is achieved in dark field (DF). The motivation is therefore to analyse scattering from sub-wavelength structures with visible electromagnetic (EM) waves and to establish a simple method of simulating their DF images, an otherwise extremely lengthy process. A comprehensive review of different theories of rigorous two-dimensional (2D) diffraction theory is then presented. Geometrical theory of diffraction (GTD) is chosen as the best approach and validated by numerical simulation of the imaging of a set of periodic 2D canonical structures using the finite element method, which is compared with modal diffraction theory. It is demonstrated that only edge waves contribute to dark field images, and that GTD wedge diffraction coefficients provide good approximations to their amplitudes. A 2D model is then developed to account for direct scattering and re-scattering of in-plane radiation. The model is valid for both TE and TM polarizations. Scattering from simulated optical imaging of 3D canonical structures is then investigated. The numerical results are carefully considered to establish the minimum number of waves needed to simulate diffuse and polychromatic illumination. A novel simulation tool is then developed to reduce the time taken to simulate dark field imaging of general NEMS. This model uses edge detection to identify the scattering edges, a convolution method to simulate in-plane scattering, and wedge diffraction coefficients from GTD to define edge wave amplitudes. The results are compared with 3D FEM simulations, and excellent agreement is obtained. Deficiencies in the model are identified and suggestions for future developments are made.

description: Events collected by the Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF) with an energetic jet plus large missing transverse energy can be used to search for physics beyond the Standard Model. We see no deviations from the expected background and set upper limits on the production of new processes. We consider in addition the production of light gravitinos within the framework of the Gauge Mediated Supersymmetry Breaking models and set a limit at 95% confidence level on the breaking scale sqrt(F) >= 217 GeV, which excludes gravitino masses smaller than 1.1x10^-5 eV/c^2.

T duality for boundary-non-critical strings

description: Recent work on the action of T duality on Dirichlet-branes is generalized to the case in which the open string satisfies boundary conditions that are neither Neumann nor Dirichlet. This is achieved by implementing T duality as a canonical transformation of the $σ$-model path integral. A class of boundary interactions that violate conformal symmetry is found to be T-dual of a correspondingly non-conformal class of boundary conditions. The analogy with some problems in boundary-non-critical quantum mechanics of interest for condensed matter is pointed out.

description: A beautiful theorem of Thomas Price links the Fibonacci numbers and the Lucas polynomials to the plane geometry of an ellipse, generalizing a classic problem about circles. We give a brief history of the circle problem, an account of Price's ellipse proof, and a reorganized proof, with some new ideas, designed to situate the result within a dense web of connections to classical mathematics. It is inspired by Cardano's solution of the cubic equation and Newton's theorem on power sums, and yields an interpretation of generalized Lucas polynomials in terms of the theory of symmetric polynomials. We also develop additional connections that surface along the way; e.g., we give a parallel interpretation of generalized Fibonacci polynomials, and we show that Cardano's method can be used write down the roots of the Lucas polynomials.

description: We present an application of high-order series expansion in the coupling constants for the ground state properties of correlated lattice fermion systems. Expansions have been generated up to order $(t/J)^{14}$ for $d=1$ and $(t/J)^8$ for $d=2,\ 3$ for certain properties of the symmetric Kondo lattice model. Analyzing the susceptibility series, we find evidence for a continuous phase transition from the ``spin liquid'' phase characteristic of a ``Kondo Insulator'' to an antiferromagnetically ordered phase in dimensions $d\ge2$ as the antiferromagnetic Kondo coupling is decreased. The critical point is estimated to be at $(t/J)_c\approx0.7$ for square lattice and $(t/J)_c\approx0.5$ for simple-cubic lattice.

description: Solar chromosphere and coronal heating is a big question for astrophysics. Daily measurement of 985 solar spectral irradiances (SSIs) at the spectral intervals 1-39 nm and 116-2416 nm during March 1 2003 to October 28 2017 is utilized to investigate phase relation respectively with daily sunspot number, the Mount Wilson Sunspot Index, and the Magnetic Plage Strength Index. All SSIs which form in the whole heated region: the upper photosphere, chromosphere, transition region, and corona are found to be significantly more correlated to weak magnetic activity than to strong magnetic activity, and to dance in step with weak magnetic activity. All SSIs which form in the low photosphere (the unheated region), which indicate the "energy" leaked from the solar subsurface are found to be more related to strong magnetic activity instead and in anti-phase with weak magnetic activity. In the upper photosphere and chromosphere, strong magnetic activity should lead SSI by about a solar rotation, also displaying that weak magnetic activity should take effect on heating there. It is thus small-scale weak magnetic activity that effectively heats the upper solar atmosphere.
Development and Application of a Decision Framework to Support Improved River Basin Water Management
Creators: name: Meeks, Leah
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2021

description: Water management decisions made at local levels may have effects throughout an entire river basin. Water managers need better ways to help identify which decisions have broader implications and to quantify those effects to inform decision making. This dissertation presents a framework providing a basin-wide approach to water management using three studies. The first study developed a software tool to quantify how local changes within a water resources network affect the entire network. A case study was conducted on the Lower Bear River in Utah. The second study quantified the basin-wide effects of reducing return flows from irrigation areas to the river. The reduced return flow indirectly simulated the effects of implementing water conservation. The third study evaluated how storage of conserved water in reservoirs affects a river basin. A case study of the Boise River Basin in Idaho was used in the second and third studies. The first study developed a method to visualize large networks through simple graphics and identify critical water management locations. The second study found that reducing return flows causes decreased river flow, increased reservoir storage use to meet irrigation demands, and increased irrigation shortages. The third study found that storing conserved water can reduce irrigation shortages throughout a basin. A common finding was that downstream water users were the most affected by management changes. Impacts to the entire river basin should be considered when making management decisions at local levels.
Algorithms for Covering Barrier Points by Mobile Sensors with Line Constraint
Creators: name: Jain, Princy
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2021

description: In this thesis, we develop efficient algorithms for the problem of covering barrier points by mobile sensors. Each sensor is represented by a point in the plane with the same covering range r so that any point within distance r from the sensor can be covered by the sensor. Given a set B of m points (called “barrier points”) and a set S of n points (representing the “sensors”) in the plane, the problem is to move the sensors so that each barrier point is covered by at least one sensor and the maximum movement of all sensors is minimized. The problem is NP-hard. In this thesis, we consider two line-constrained variations of the problem and present efficient algorithms that improve the previous work. In the first problem, all sensors are given on a line l and are required to move on l only while the barrier points can be anywhere in the plane. We propose an O((n+m) log(n+m)) time algorithm for the problem. We also consider the weighted case where each sensor has a weight; we give an O((m+n) log2(m+n)) time algorithm for this case. In the second problem, all barrier points are on l while all sensors are in the plane but are required to move to l to cover all barrier points. We solve the weighted case in O(mlogm+nlog2n) time.

description: Il saggio analizza il dibattitto degli anni Novanta sulla trasformazione del modello di impresa e del modello antropologico in Occidente, focalizzandosi sui lavori di Ulrich Beck, Richard Sennett , Luc Boltanski ed Éve Chiapello. Gli studi di tali autori hanno come oggetto di indagine società diverse (Germania, Stati Uniti e Francia) in ragione di metodologie di ricerca e premesse teoriche che delimitano il campo di indagine a un singolo contesto nazionale. La scelta di analizzare insieme tali teorie è mossa da due ragioni: in primis, la constatazione che, nonostante la differenza di tali punti di partenza, gli esiti delle ricerche conducono a ipotesi che mostrano evidenti affinità; in secondo luogo, l’idea che proprio tale compresenza di differenze e affinità sia una risorsa utile per comprendere le trasformazioni avvenute.

 

The paper investigates the 1990s debate on the transformation of the business model and anthropological model in Western societies, focusing on the works of Ulrich Beck, Richard Sennett, Luc Bolranski, and Éve Chiapello. The studies of these authors investigate different societies (Germany, the United States, and France) due to research methodologies and theoretical premises that confine the scope of inquiry to a single national context. The choice to analyse these theories together is motivated by two reasons: firstly, the observation that, despite the differences in their starting points, the research outcomes lead to hypotheses that exhibit clear similarities; secondly, the idea that precisely this coexistence of differences and similarities is a valuable resource for understanding the transformations that have taken place.

A new proposal for glueball exploration in hard gluon fragmentation

description: An unambiguous identification of glueballs in experiments will be of great significance, because their existence is an important test of QCD. The proposal, advanced here, is to experimentally search for glueballs as peaks in the invariant mass of a leading K_S-pair fragmenting from an energetic gluon jet out of high-statistics three-jet events in hadronic decays of the weak neutral Z boson. Using a physically motivated model of the gluon-glueball fragmentation function, we find a substantial fragmentation rate into a leading glueball. It is very likely that a search, along the lines suggested here by any of the four groups at the Large Electron Positron collider at CERN, will prove fruitful.

Participatory natural capital decision making for urban river management
Creators: name: Hinson, Caitlin
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2023

description: Natural capital concepts and participatory methods both govern national and international environmental policy. Synergies and trade-offs between these concepts present opportunities and threats to policy success. Yet an explicit understanding of how natural capital and participatory methods work together within urban river contexts has had little attention. This thesis presents research where two theories, natural capital and participation, combine, resulting in the novel use of logic chains of natural capital to support decision making in collaborative urban river restoration. Logic chains are an operational application of natural capital thinking, creating pathways between ecosystem assets and benefits to people. This method therefore benefits from participation to allow natural capital to move beyond economic interpretations of natural assets and improve socio-ecological understanding. This thesis comprises of four chapters: Firstly, a systematic map, reviewing case studies which combine participatory methods with natural capital analysis for environmental decision making. Secondly, participatory natural capital workshops that apply natural capital assessment and decision making to an urban river catchment, using logic chain pathways. Thirdly, a novel evaluation framework for assessing the contribution of natural capital to participatory decision making in river catchment management. Fourthly, interviews with key informants to assess the application of participatory natural capital thinking within wider urban river catchment management. The analysis demonstrates participatory applications of natural capital thinking facilitate pluralistic interpretations of natural capital. By using logic chains of natural capital, catchment issues can be solved by improving the state of nature to use the socio-ecological system that facilities a flow of benefits from nature to society. A novel evaluation framework identified the contributions of conceptual natural capital for participatory catchment assessments. Logic chains justify integrating natural capital thinking with participation decision making as they enable solutions to environmental issues to be solved by improving by flows between natural assets and society.

description: In the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick (SK) and related mixed $p$-spin models, there is interest in understanding replica symmetry breaking at low temperatures. For this reason, the so-called AT line proposed by de Almeida and Thouless as a sufficient (and conjecturally necessary) condition for symmetry breaking, has been a frequent object of study in spin glass theory. In this paper, we consider the analogous condition for the multi-species SK model, which concerns the eigenvectors of a Hessian matrix. The analysis is tractable in the two-species case with positive definite variance structure, for which we derive an explicit AT temperature threshold. To our knowledge, this is the first non-asymptotic symmetry breaking condition produced for a multi-species spin glass. As possible evidence that the condition is sharp, we draw further parallel with the classical SK model and show coincidence with a separate temperature inequality guaranteeing uniqueness of the replica symmetric critical point.

Creators: name: Lyons, Sean M.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2021

description: The work described here was conducted to better understand how pesticides will behave following their application to crops or soil. This understanding will allow for better use of pesticides which will protect the environment and non-target organisms while remaining effective against pests. The Pesticide Dissipation form Agricultural Land (PeDAL) model was developed to simulate pesticide behavior following application and laboratory experiments focused on the photodegradation of select pesticides on alfalfa leaves were conducted to support this model.

Understanding Teacher Sense-Making Discourse During Collaborative Professional Development of an Expansively-Framed Computer Science Curriculum
Creators: name: Stephens, Courtney
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2021

description: Elementary school teachers are being increasingly asked to teach computer science—something that most teacher certification programs do not prepare them for. In an attempt to study how elementary teachers learn to teach computer science, I analyzed the ways that teachers behaved during a professional development accompanying the implementation of a fifth-grade computer science curriculum. My findings suggest that teachers benefit from professional development that encourages collaboration and active participation in teachers through discussion and modeling. Furthermore, my findings suggest that teachers benefit from using curriculum that deliberately connects new concepts to content that they are already familiar and comfortable with—a model known as expansive framing. By encouraging active teacher participation in professional development and by using curriculum that relates to teachers’ existing content knowledge, we may be able to help elementary teachers prepare to teach computer science with more confidence and accuracy.
Worldline Superfield Actions for N=2 Superparticles

description: We propose doubly supersymmetric actions in terms of n=2(D-2) worldline superfields for N=2 superparticles in D=3,4 and Type IIA D=6 superspaces. These actions are obtained by dimensional reduction of superfield actions for N=1 superparticles in D=4,6 and 10, respectively. We show that in all these models geometrodynamical constraints on target superspace coordinates do not put the theory on the mass shell, so the actions constructed consistently describe the dynamics of the corresponding N=2 superparticles. We also find that in contrast to the IIA D=6 superparticle a chiral IIB D=6 superparticle, which is not obtainable by dimensional reduction from N=1, D=10, is described by superfield constraints which produce dynamical equations. This implies that for the IIB D=6 superparticle the doubly supersymmetric action does not exist in the conventional form.

Typed Closure Conversion for the Calculus of Constructions
Creators: name: Bowman, William J.

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Programming Languages (cs.PL)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Dependently typed languages such as Coq are used to specify and verify the full functional correctness of source programs. Type-preserving compilation can be used to preserve these specifications and proofs of correctness through compilation into the generated target-language programs. Unfortunately, type-preserving compilation of dependent types is hard. In essence, the problem is that dependent type systems are designed around high-level compositional abstractions to decide type checking, but compilation interferes with the type-system rules for reasoning about run-time terms. We develop a type-preserving closure-conversion translation from the Calculus of Constructions (CC) with strong dependent pairs ($Σ$ types)---a subset of the core language of Coq---to a type-safe, dependently typed compiler intermediate language named CC-CC. The central challenge in this work is how to translate the source type-system rules for reasoning about functions into target type-system rules for reasoning about closures. To justify these rules, we prove soundness of CC-CC by giving a model in CC. In addition to type preservation, we prove correctness of separate compilation.

description: This study seeks to examine the political and social implications of the implementation of neoliberal economic policies in Turkey and the key actors that joined forces to spearhead this transformation process in the 1980s. More specifically, it intends to explore the dynamics and agents of Turkey’s January 24, 1980 Decisions—which opened Turkish economy to international forces and accelerated Turkey’s economic liberalization transformation. To that end, I employ these neoliberal transformations as a lens to zoom in on the role of the domestic actors and international institutions in Turkey’s neoliberal turn from 1980s onwards and its resultant socio-political implications. In this study, I advance the argument that the joint efforts of international institutions such as the World Bank and the IMF and those of internal forces such as the Turkish state, and military have led Turkey to adopt neoliberal policies that drastically transformed the country’s economy, politics and society. In this way, the aim is to examine how these actors played an intrinsic role in imposing these neoliberal policies on Turkey from a sociological perspective that transcends the economic dimensions of this transformation. The research questions are: who the main actors behind Turkey’s neoliberal turn are and how their coaction drove economic change and affected the country’s politics and populace.
Quantum ferromagnetic transition in disordered itinerant electron systems

description: An effective field theory is derived for the ferromagnetic transition of diffusive electrons at T=0. The static disorder which leads to diffusive electron dynamics induces an effective long-range interaction between the spins of the form 1/r^(2d-2). This leads to unusual scaling behavior at the quantum critical point, which is determined exactly. The crossover from this quantum fixed point to the classical Heisenberg fixed point should be observable in ferromagnetic materials with low Curie temperatures.

Methods Development, Design Analysis, and Testing of Novel Centrifugal Devices for Mammalian Cell Culture Harvest
Creators: name: Dryden, W. Aaron
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2021

description: Thermo Fisher Scientific is developing a centrifugal device to be used in the biopharmaceutical industry. The novel technology was used to remove cells from cell cultures, which produce drugs and medical treatments. The harvest process of removing cells is the first step towards product purification and is an important unit operation for ensuring high product yield. Since the device is a novel technology, methods to test and evaluate the performance of the centrifuge needed to be developed.
Successful testing methods were developed in this work and were implemented on over 30 different centrifuge designs. Amongst these many designs, different operating procedures were developed that were unique to the design of the centrifuge. Cell cultures were often used as the testing material to evaluate the centrifuge designs, but an alternative testing material was developed to simulate cell cultures. This testing material consisted of cell sized microbeads that could mimic cell separation during centrifugation. To help visualize results of different operating conditions and parameters, a prediction model was developed to determine the operation window of the centrifuge. This can be used to help guide the application process of centrifuge.

description: Super-resolution microscopy has revolutionized the fields of chemistry and biology by resolving features at the molecular level. Such techniques can be either "stochastic," gaining resolution through precise localization of point source emitters, or "deterministic," leveraging the nonlinear optical response of a sample to improve resolution. In atomic physics, deterministic methods can be applied to reveal the atomic wavefunction and to perform quantum control. Here we demonstrate super-resolution imaging based on nonlinear response of atoms to an optical pumping pulse. With this technique the atomic density distribution can be resolved with a point spread function FWHM of 32(4) nm and a localization precision below 1 nm. The short optical pumping pulse of 1.4 $μ$s enables us to resolve fast atomic dynamics within a single lattice site. A byproduct of our scheme is the emergence of moiré patterns on the atomic cloud, which we show to be immensely magnified images of the atomic density in the lattice. Our work represents a general approach to accessing the physics of cold atoms at the nanometer scale, and can be extended to higher dimensional lattices and bulk systems for a variety of atomic and molecular species.
