POLITICAL TENSIONS OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE: COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE POLITICAL IDEOLOGY OF THE VIRGINIAN STAMP ACT CRISIS AND THE JAMAICAN PRIVILEGE CONTROVERSY
Creators: name: Nam, Michelle
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: During the eighteenth century, the exportation of British political ideology was an important imperial tool that was utilized by Great Britain to maintain control across the large expanse of their empire. The settlers of Virginia and Jamaica held onto essential principles of British political ideology into their own colonies and espoused them in their own manner as evident in their political discourse and provincial government systems. During the years of 1764-1766, the American Stamp Act crisis and the Jamaican privilege controversy were an imperial test of these shared political principles. Through a comparative analysis between these two significant imperial conflicts, an apparent ideological disconnect occurred between the British metropole and the Virginian and Jamaican colonies which played a significant role within the Stamp Act crisis and the Jamaican privilege controversy.
Visualizing Resistance and Struggle: Murals as Propaganda in the Second Sino-Japanese War
Creators: name: Fang, Xiaoyu
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: The eight-year Second Sino-Japanese War (1937-1945) brought extreme suffering to the populace. Facing the aggressive incursion of Japanese armies, Chinese people sought great nationwide unity in order to resist the enemy. When reexamining this tragic period, one can hardly fail to notice the rise of anti-Japanese sentiment among the populace. In popular media, this dynamic of uniting against a common enemy, which was mobilized by widespread propaganda, was characterized by the realistic portrayal of battlefield scenes and inflammatory images. The establishment of the Third Bureau of the Political Department in the Military Affairs Commission (hereafter the Third Department) in the city of Wuhan in 1938 symbolized the formation of a united front between the Chinese Communist Party (hereafter the CCP) and the Kuomintang Party or the Nationalist Party (hereafter the KMT). This unity was brought about by convening Chinese intellectuals and artists to propagate the idea of nationwide resistance at the home front. Artists from the Third Department made widely disseminated attempts to create propaganda through various media, including woodprints, cartoons, murals and other forms of visual art. This situation created an opening for real competition—not just between the CCP and the KMT but among other foreign forces —all of which involved playing with ideology and art forms to make their respective cases. Although there have already been some studies on the Second Sino-Japanese War propaganda art, most have concentrated on woodprints and cartoons for their strong popular and political functions. These media were largely dominated by the left-wing CCP. The intent of this study, however, is to look in depth at the little-known Huanghelou (Yellow Crane Tower) mural painting which only existed for one month and whose commission from the Third Department under the Nationalist government was overshadowed by the CCP regime in contemporary China. The research for this study was undertaken in an effort to better understand the visual effects of propaganda murals and the reasons for the mural becoming an efficient propaganda tool during the Sino-Japanese War. By using a historical lens to explore the visual languages of the Huanghelou mural project, this thesis sheds light on the national resistance by discussing the anti-Japanese fervor mobilized by the Huanghelou mural. It considers as well considering Huanghelou as an example of how the two conflicting ideologies of the KMT and the CCP coexisted in a single piece of art to fight against their common foreign enemy. Therefore, to understand propagandists’ decision to utilize murals as a popular art form during the Battle of Wuhan—and therefore to evaluate the dynamic between art and politics during the wartime—we must understand the mural’s visual effect in balancing the leadership and the masses, as well as the involvement of foreign influences such as Soviet socialist realism and Mexican muralism.

Using a convention without weak phases $ϕ_2$ and $ϕ_3$, we can solve the parameters from the time-depended CP asymmetry. If we can put a condition the contribution from penguin except for the CKM factor including in the diagram is small, then we can lead the allowed region of $R_t$ or $ϕ_2$ by using the convention.

description: In quantum mechanics and quantum information, to establish the orthogonal bases is a useful means. The existence of unextendible product bases impels us to study the `entanglement bases' problems. In this paper, the concepts of entanglement bases and exact-entanglement bases are defined, and a theorem about exact-entanglement bases is given. We discuss the general structures of the orthogonal complete bases. Two examples of applications are given. At last, we discuss the problem of transformation of the general structure forms.

description: We investigate the scattering of a quark on a heavy nucleus at high energies using the time-dependent basis light-front quantization (tBLFQ) formalism, which is the first application of the tBLFQ formalism in QCD. We present the real-time evolution of the quark wave function in a strong classical color field of the relativistic nucleus, described as the Color Glass Condensate. The quark and the nucleus color field are simulated in the QCD SU(3) color space. We calculate the total and the differential cross sections, and the quark distribution in coordinate and color spaces using the tBLFQ approach. We recover the eikonal cross sections in the eikonal limit. We find that the differential cross section from the tBLFQ simulation is in agreement with a perturbative calculation at large $p_\perp$, and it deviates from the perturbative calculation at small $p_\perp$ due to higher-order contributions. In particular, we relax the eikonal limit by letting the quark carry realistic finite longitudinal momenta. We study the sub-eikonal effect on the quark through the transverse coordinate distribution of the quark with different longitudinal momentum, and we find the sub-eikonal effect to be sizable. Our results can significantly reduce the theoretical uncertainties in small $p_\perp$ region which has important implications to the phenomenology of the hadron-nucleus and deep inelastic scattering at high energies.

description: As a new light spot and form of current agricultural development, the sixth industry is a new way to solve the problems of rural development. This paper first introduced current situations of the development of the sixth industry in Jingzhou of Hubei Province, analyzed the related problems, and then came up with some feasible development paths. First of all, the local government should formulate the financial support policies for the sixth industry. Second, local government should focus on strengthening the cultivation of new type of agricultural business entities and carrying out agricultural brand strategy. Finally, local government should develop leisure agriculture, ecological agriculture and promote the integration of rural tourism in the whole region.

description: An infinite family of generalized pseudo-Anosov homeomorphisms of the sphere S is constructed, and their invariant foliations and singular orbits are described explicitly by means of generalized train tracks. The complex strucure induced by the invariant foliations is described, and is shown to make S into a complex sphere. The generalized pseudo-Anosovs thus become quasiconformal automorphisms of the Riemann sphere, providing a complexification of the unimodal family which differs from that of the Fatou/Julia theory.

Game Theory Metrics of Human Choice Behavior Show That Suboptimal Strategic Performance is Due to High, not Low, Cognitive Ability

description: Game theory behavioral paradigms pit subjects against one another in competitivedistillations of real world social exchange scenarios. In the “inspection game,” two competing players make binary choices for rewards by matching or mismatching an opponent’s move. Martin et al. (2014) found that chimpanzee pairs outperformed human pairs in the inspection game, as defined by proximity to the Nash Equilibrium, and hypothesized that evolution had endowed chimpanzees with the ability to excel in strategic, competitive social contexts while hindering humans from doing the same. I hypothesize that counterintuitively, suboptimal human performances could be attributable to superior cognition as indicated by game theory metrics known to indicate complex abstract reasoning. In my own version of Martin et al.’s (2014) human-subjects experiment, I replicate the finding that humans fail to equilibrate in the inspection game. It is additionally observed that subjects often fail to randomize their choices and exhibit a win-shift lose-stay tendency consistent with the gambler’s fallacy. Based on ideas advanced by Tversky and Kahneman (1971), I contend that this finding in fact indicates higher, not lower, cognitive ability to strategize for rewards in humans, thus questioning Martin et al.’s (2014) account of cognitive superiority evidenced in chimpanzee performances.

description: We suppose that the doping of the 2D hard-core boson system away from half-filling may result in the formation of multi-center topological defect such as charge order (CO) bubble domain(s) with Bose superfluid (BS) and extra bosons both localized in domain wall(s), or a {\it topological} CO+BS {\it phase separation}, rather than an uniform mixed CO+BS supersolid phase. Starting from the classical model we predict the properties of the respective quantum system. The long-wavelength behavior of the system is believed to remind that of granular superconductors, CDW materials, Wigner crystals, and multi-skyrmion system akin in a quantum Hall ferromagnetic state of a 2D electron gas.

description: The development level of industrialization, informationization, urbanization and agricultural modernization (New Four Modernizations) is an important indicator for evaluation of regional economic development. In this paper, an indicator system was designed for evaluation of the development level of New Four Modernizations according to the interaction mechanism between them. It introduced the data related to New Four Modernizations of 14 cities in Hunan Province during 2004 and 2012, and made a comprehensive analysis of the development level of New Four Modernizations in these cities by entropy - gray relational method. It found that the development level of New Four Modernizations in 14 cities in Hunan Province was extremely uneven, and the stronger would become stronger, while the weaker would become weaker, like Matthew Effect. Thus, it is required to straighten out the development idea, carry out reform and innovation in the mechanism construction, urban-rural integration, interaction and integration, and regional coordination, to promote simultaneous development of New Four Modernizations.

 Types. Holotype male in ANIC no. 29-029368, Mt Solitaire, 30 km WNW of Alice Springs, NT, 29 Sep. 1978, MSU and R. A. Barrett, terminalia in tube 2500. Paratypes (all males):— Northern Territory: 32 km WNW ofAlice Springs, 8 Oct. 1978, DHC, at light, T.t. 2230; 2 males, Entire Ck, 155 km ENE of Alice Springs, 13 Oct. 1978, DHC, T.t. 2249, 2615.— Queensland: Moura, F. D. Page & L. Rigby, T.t. 2614.
 A small dark species. Only the male is known, practically identical to A. opaca in size, colouration and parameters of head shape, but rather less bristly and differing otherwise as follows:
 Head. Eye moderately to sparsely haired; ocellar setae well developed, but not as stout as in opaca. Hindtibia with Pd1 long, ratio Pd1/Sdd 1.0–1.1, mean 1.08. Abdomen without differentiated submedian marginal bristles on tergite 3.
 Terminalia (Fig. 76). Syntergosternite 6–8 very narrow, its posterior margin steeply declivitous, almost vertical, its surface with extensive areas of very fine setulae. In lateral view surstylus of most unusual shape, broad and foliate on basal  2  ⁄ 3, with a deep subapical notch on anterior edge setting off a more or less thumb-like apical part. Cercus with basal lobe only slightly protruding, about as large as apical part, both with extensive areas of profuse, minute, fine setulae. Epiphallus well developed, tapering. Lobes of S5 with small, stout denticles instead of the usual setae.
 Distribution. The few specimens from the vicinity of Alice
Springs in the Northern Territory were matched, surprisingly, by one from central Queensland.
 Biology. The NT specimens were taken at light.
 Notes. The specific identity is guaranteed by the extraordinary terminalia, but there is little else to assist in identification. The name refers to the most unusual surstylus.

description: In southern Shaanxi, far from the core areas of politics and economy, the conditions are inconvenient and farmers have been threatened by geology, floods for many years, resulting in a large population of poor people. The relocation of poverty alleviation project in southern Shaanxi is helpful for improving living standards of people in disaster-stricken areas. Based on the field survey, this paper analyzed 274 valid questionnaires and established a Logistic Regression Analysis Model. The result shows that the health status of head of household, road type before relocation, annual loss of disasters, and changes in the family income after relocation have a greater influence on the relocation willingness of farmers, while the educational level of householder, the distance from the original place of residence to the town and market, the condition of household electricity before relocation and other factors have a little influence on the relocation willingness of farmers.

description: Most of the recent work in time series analysis has been done on the assumption that the structure of the series can be described by linear models such as Autoregressive (AR), Moving Average (MA) or mixed Autoregressive-Moving Average (ARMA) models. However, there are occasions on which subject matter, theory •or data suggests that linear models are unsatisfactory and hence it is desirable to look at non-linear time series models. In the last decade several non-linear time series models have appeared in literature, specifically, bilinear time series models, threshold AR models, exponential AR models, random coefficient AR models, exponential moving average models and other related models. In this paper we have reviewed various non-linear time series models. We have also reviewed - various tests of non-linearities developed by various authors. Since the model specification is the most important step in any time series model building, we have discussed the problem of model specification in the context of bilinear and threshold models in detail.

description: Research to prepare for the new Student Union Building (SUB) Rooftop Garden at the University of British Columbia has been ongoing for several years. As a student group participating in the UBC Food Systems Project through the course LFS 450, we build upon previous projects by researching, discussing, and recommending human resource management strategies specifically directed towards a food production-oriented garden. Research included reviewing past papers, and conducting literary research and interviews. Email interviews with the University of Toronto Sky Garden, The Orchard Garden and a face-to-face interview with Sprouts allowed us to develop management models and to further understand the challenges. With these findings, the group discussed pros and cons of four possible management models; 1) management by a student club, 2) by a single employee, 3) by several employees or 4) a combination of these. As a result, the group identified a club model with incentives, as a potential way to motivate students to offer services for the collective objective of selling to campus food outlets. If lead by a directed studies or paid position, this framework is a starting point that we consider most fitting. Realizing that this report does not have all the answers and direction needed to start the management team, future students should review our work and where applicable continue to develop this management model.

description: This paper considers the problem of testing the null hypothesis of firstorder autoregressive disturbances in the linear regression model against the alternative that the disturbances follow a joint first-order, simplefourth- order autoregressive process. The class of approximate point optimal invariant tests are discussed and rules are given for choosing an appropriate member from this class of tests. The beneficial nature of these rules are illustrated by a limited empirical power comparison which shows the recommended test has good small sample power properties.
THE PRINCIPLE OF PROPORTIONALITY IN THE LAW AND ETHICS OF WAR: STEPS TOWARD A UNIFIED VIEW OF PROPORTIONALITY IN JUS AD BELLUM AND JUS IN BELLO BY MOVING FROM SUBJECTIVE POLITICAL TO OBJECTIVE LEGAL CRITERIA

description: Proportionality is both a general principle of public international law and a legal term with many distinct meaning in different bodies of public international law. One body of public international law in which the concept of proportionality has an important general role, but which also has specific meaning for different purposes, is the international law of war. This general statement of the concept of proportionality in the law and ethics of war takes specific forms in the two broad subdivisions of the law and ethics of war: Jus ad Bellum and Jus in Bello. Proportionality governs the legality and legitimacy in using force and the conduct of hostilities in armed conflicts. Jus ad Bellum proportionality and Jus in Bello proportionality are separate principles, having long intellectual pedigree, incorporated into modern international law as general principle of law. However, proportionality presents many challenging questions due to the subjectivity in the judgment of proportionality. Proportionality has been transformed from a legal to political vehicle. One reason why proportionality is susceptible to politicization from a relatively clear, objectively measureable legal doctrine into justificatory, subjective political argument lies in the nature of proportionality itself. Invoking proportionality in law of war inevitably requires performing subjective analysis as states continue to legitimize its use of force. This is further complicated by the existing gap between the concept of Jus ad Bellum proportionality and Jus in Bello proportionality and between a principle of legality and rhetoric of political justification. Based on this complexity and ambiguity, this research provides arguments to restore legality, objectivity, and rule of law to proportionality by reinforcing the difference between Jus ad Bellum proportionality and Jus in Bello proportionality as well as proposing new approach to our understanding and application of proportionality in reality to prevent politicization of proportionality.

description: I present a model of a pulsar wind interacting with its associated supernova remnant. I will use the model to argue that one can explain the morphology of the pulsar wind nebula inside N157B, a supernova remnant in the Large Magellanic Cloud, without the need for a bow shock interpretation. The model uses a hydrodynamics code which simulates the evolution of a pulsar wind nebula, when the pulsar is moving at a high velocity (1000 km/sec) through the expanding supernova remnant. The simulation shows three different stages of the pulsar wind nebula: the supersonic expansion stage, the subsonic expansion stage and the bow shock stage. The last stage occurs when the head of the pulsar wind nebula, containing the active pulsar, deforms into a bow shock, due to the motion of the pulsar becoming supersonic. I will argue that the pulsar wind nebula inside N157B is currently in the second stage of its evolution, i.e. the expansion of the pulsar wind nebula is subsonic and there is no bow shock around the pulsar wind bubble. The strongly off-centered position of the pulsar with respect to its pulsar wind nebula is naturally explained by the result of the interaction of the reverse shock with the pulsar wind nebula, as the simulation bears out.

description: n China, the online purchases of meals grow rapidly. The online ordering and meal delivery services allow a busy urban consumer for a specific selection at a convenient time. This paper examines the satisfaction of consumers with the overall quality of service provided by the meal delivering companies and the speed of delivery. The level of satisfaction with the overall meal delivery service provides insights that permit improvement of service quality and its essential attribute, the delivery speed. The study uses the sample of 554 respondents from all but two China’s provinces collected between June 3 and July 30, 2017. A pilot test was administered among students of a major urban university. Data were collected through an online survey administered by the reputable commercial company. The structured questionnaire contained questions probing for views on several aspects of meal delivery services and requested a respondent to share the information about socio-demographic characteristics. The scale applied in the posed questions allowed the ordered logit to estimate the relationships. Results show, among others, that the average meal price and expectations of food safety were important to consumer perception of service quality, while the type of meal type of meal mattered with regard to speed delivers.
Minimal flavor violation in the see-saw portal

description: We consider an extension of the Standard Model with two singlet leptons, with masses in the electroweak range, that induce neutrino masses via the see-saw mechanism, plus a generic new physics sector at a higher scale, $Λ$. We apply the minimal flavor violation (MFV) principle to the corresponding Effective Field Theory ($ν$SMEFT) valid at energy scales $E \ll Λ$. We identify the irreducible sources of lepton flavor and lepton number violation at the renormalizable level, and apply the MFV ansätz to derive the scaling of the Wilson coefficients of the $ν$SMEFT operators up to dimension six. We highlight the most important phenomenological consequences of this hypothesis in the rates for exotic Higgs decays, the decay length of the heavy neutrinos, and their production modes at present and future colliders. We also comment on possible astrophysical implications.

HIGH-PROFILE WITHDRAWAL FROM INTERNATIONAL TREATIES: RISK MANAGEMENT IN INTERNATIONAL NEGOTIATIONS AND STATES’ COMMITMENT TO MULTILATERALISM
Creators: name: Morelli, Antonio
Publisher: name: ProQuest
Year: 2023
Subjects: classificationCode: 4803
subject: International and comparative law

description: The dissertation explores the current phenomenon of high profile withdrawal from multilateral agreements, understanding and enhancing commitment to multilateralism under the lens of international law and global governance.Withdrawals from multilateral treaties have unleashed a new period of upheaval in the world order. We are living in a time where counties are making high-profile withdrawals from multilateral agreements. Brexit, the Paris Agreement, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), and many others suggest a trend of countries disengaging from international cooperation as domestic conditions change. In the age of withdrawal, is there still any room for international law to regulate the rules of the game or will ex post facto decisions overturn the current architecture of a multilateral global order? The author aims to create a map for the phenomenon of withdrawal, in order to understand the reasons and the consequences of this emerging trend in foreign policy. Pictured in its socio-political milieu, withdrawal represents a way to reestablish the status quo in the world order, as it was ex ante globalization.The dissertation looks at the factors that give rise to long-term commitments and techniques to manage the risk of withdrawal. Based on quantitative and qualitative studies, it shed lights on the reasons that lead countries to exit, and identifies the conditions necessary to maintain commitment. Grounded on the principle pacta sunt servanda, the analysis demonstrates how States’ commitment vis-à-vis ex post facto decisions can make international law still matter.

description: Successful farm managers in the twenty-first century and beyond will be using the best practices of farm management like enterprise and whole farm budgeting, farm accounting techniques, investment analysis, economic principles, risk and uncertainty management, and agricultural marketing. This study describes the extent to which Kentucky small and medium-sized farms apply the best practices and the effect they have on farm profitability. Data was collected in 2017 through a survey mailed to 850 owners of small and medium-sized farms. Results indicate that the majority of the farms indicated to be very good at production. Few of the farms have a complete set of skills necessary to apply the best practices. Furthermore, the study shows that farm financial position (based on balance sheet) and profitability (based on income statements) are significantly strong among farms that apply the best practices. Finally, the study indicates that farm profitability is positively correlated with farm characteristics such size, location, revenue, form (sole, partnership, corporation), enterprise types (crop, animal, fresh produce) and owner’s characteristics (age, education, experience, and gender). These findings are relevant, useful, and beneficial to owners of small and med-sized farms and to Extension agents and policy makers for their efforts to assist farmers.

Dedicata 41 (1992), p. 147; and in: "Handbook of Incidence Geometry", ed. by F. Buekenhout, Elsevier Science, Amsterdam, 1995, p. 273; but presumably dating back to 1965). Our result relies on the classification of the finite 2-transitive permutation groups.

description: We show in this paper that the changes of the solar diameter in response to variations of large scale magnetic fields and turbulence are not homologous. For the best current model, the variation at the photospheric level is over 1000 times larger than the variation at a depth of 5 Mm, which is about the level at which f-mode solar oscillations determine diameter variations. This model is supported by observations that indicate larger diameter changes for high degree f-modes than for low degree f-modes, since energy of the former are concentrated at shallower layers than the latter.

description: Recent research shows that about 2.5 million people have no access to financial services worldwide. The research also shows that Africa, the home to 70 percent of the world’s least developed countries, has 80 percent of its population unbanked. These statistics are particularly disturbing as they have direct implications for economic growth. This is because, financial inclusion, including savings, has been shown to have a positive impact on economic growth and development. However, recent empirical research is limited in explaining the determinants of the choice of the savings option in Africa. By using survey data obtained from the World-Global Financial Inclusion (Global Findex) Database, 2014, we investigate how household’s characteristics affect their choice of a saving option. We use the multinomial probit model due to its ability to account for issues of independence of irrelevant alternatives (IIA). Our results indicate that there is a strong disconnect between female entrepreneurs and the formal banking sector.
