description: Aristotelian electrodynamics (AE) describes the regime of a plasma with a very strong electric field that is not shorted out, with charge current determined completely by pair production and the balance of Lorentz 4-force against curvature radiation reaction. Here it is shown how the principal null directions and associated eigenvalues of the field tensor govern AE, and how force-free electrodynamics arises smoothly from AE when the eigenvalues (and therefore the electric field in some frame) vanish. A criterion for validity of AE is proposed in terms of a pair of "field curvature scalars" formed from the first derivative of the principal null directions.

description: We have studied local magnetic moment and electronic phase separation in superconducting K$_{x}$Fe$_{2-y}$Se$_2$ by x-ray emission and absorption spectroscopy. Detailed temperature dependent measurements at the Fe K-edge have revealed coexisting electronic phases and their correlation with the transport properties. By cooling down, the local magnetic moment of Fe shows a sharp drop across the superconducting transition temperature (T$_c$) and the coexisting phases exchange spectral weights with the low spin state gaining intensity at the expense of the higher spin state. After annealing the sample across the iron-vacancy order temperature, the system does not recover the initial state and the spectral weight anomaly at T$_c$ as well as superconductivity disappear. The results clearly underline that the coexistence of the low spin and high spin phases and the transitions between them provide unusual magnetic fluctuations and have a fundamental role in the superconducting mechanism of electronically inhomogeneous K$_{x}$Fe$_{2-y}$Se$_2$ system.

description: This thesis examines the role of patent litigation in the generic drug approval process.
Generic drug companies wishing to enter a brand-name drug market early may challenge
a brand-name’s patents by filing for an Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) with a
paragraph IV certification. While anecdotal evidence on the characteristics of paragraph IV
lawsuits abound, there has yet to be a comprehensive study on these unique cases. Leveraging
a new dataset of district court cases, this thesis presents an empirical investigation
into some of the current trends in generic drug litigation from January 1, 2006 to August 1,
2011. Using several basic econometric specifications, I study the determinants of settlement
and other outcomes in these cases, observing that factors such as declaratory judgment, the
size of a pioneer company, the level of patent protection, and remaining exclusivity may be
significant factors.

description: California’s Renewables Portfolio Standard (RPS) acts as one of the State’s keystone climate
change policies as it dictates the percentage of renewable energy that electricity providers must
provide their ratepayers. In this paper, I outline the difficulties and high incremental costs
associated with continuing to increase the level of the RPS. In response to these high costs, I
propose a policy that would lead to significantly greater GHG emissions at a lower cost. This
paper describes how the policy would work and how it could be implemented by the State of
California to reduce the State’s impact on climate change.

Recentemente um estudo introduziu a abordagem chamada deep-zoom (1), por meio da qual é possível observar a mudança da dinâmica caótica do sistema tornando-o mais caótico e suas órbitas com propriedades mais apropriadas para geradores de números pseudos-aleatórios (PRNG). Neste projeto estudou a composição de dois mapas caóticos: mapa de tenda e mapa logístico usando abordagem do deep-zoom, por meio de ferramentas computacionais e métodos de visualização conhecidos na literatura, tais como: diagrama de espaço-fase, diagramas de cobweb, diagrama de bifurcação, expoente de Lyapunov, diagrama de Poincaré e histograma. Onde encontrou propriedades caóticas interessantes, como um alto valor para o expoente de Lyapunov e um amplo intervalo para parâmetros que trazem vantagens para a pseudo-aleatoriedade e que levam a randomização dos mapas estudados. Além disso, o trabalho desenvolvido também foi aplicado aos geradores de números pseudo-aleatórios (PRNG), já que a partir da composição de mapas caóticos obtém hiper-caos o que permiti ser uma fonte de números pseudoaleatórios mais confiável. Ademais, realizou uma bateria de testes estatísticos de aleatoriedade (2-3) nos mapas caóticos e em sua composição, no qual o mapa da composição obteve melhores resultados em relação ao mapa logístico e mapa de tenda sem a composição, indicando uma melhora dos resultados encontrados com respeito ao estudo que introduziu deep-zoom, portanto, por meio da composição de mapas caóticos é possível alcançar propriedades mais aprimoradas para geradores de números pseudos-aleatórios (PRNG).

description: Quantum control could be implemented by varying the system Hamiltonian. According to adiabatic theorem, a slowly changing Hamiltonian can approximately keep the system at the ground state during the evolution if the initial state is a ground state. In this paper we consider this process as an interpolation between the initial and final Hamiltonians. We use the mean value of a single operator to measure the distance between the final state and the ideal ground state. This measure could be taken as the error of adiabatic approximation. We prove under certain conditions, this error can be precisely estimated for an arbitrarily given interpolating function. This error estimation could be used as guideline to induce adiabatic evolution. According to our calculation, the adiabatic approximation error is not proportional to the average speed of the variation of the system Hamiltonian and the inverse of the energy gaps in many cases. In particular, we apply this analysis to an example on which the applicability of the adiabatic theorem is questionable.

description: We demonstrate for the first time coherent control of bond making, a milestone on the way to coherent control of photo-induced bimolecular chemical reactions. In strong-field multiphoton femtosecond photoassociation experiments, we find the yield of detected magnesium dimer molecules to be enhanced for positively chirped pulses and suppressed for negatively chirped pulses. Our ab initio model shows that control is achieved by purification via Franck-Condon filtering combined with chirp-dependent Raman transitions. Experimental closed-loop phase optimization using a learning algorithm yields an improved pulse that utilizes vibrational coherent dynamics in addition to chirp-dependent Raman transitions. Our results show that coherent control of binary photo-reactions is feasible even under thermal conditions.

description: A source coding problem over a noiseless broadcast channel where the source is pre-informed about the contents of the cache of all receivers, is an index coding problem. Furthermore, if each message is requested by one receiver, then we call this an index coding problem with a unicast message setting. This problem can be represented by a directed graph. In this paper, we first define a structure (we call generalized interlinked cycles (GIC)) in directed graphs. A GIC consists of cycles which are interlinked in some manner (i.e., not disjoint), and it turns out that the GIC is a generalization of cliques and cycles. We then propose a simple scalar linear encoding scheme with linear time encoding complexity. This scheme exploits GICs in the digraph. We prove that our scheme is optimal for a class of digraphs with message packets of any length. Moreover, we show that our scheme can outperform existing techniques, e.g., partial clique cover, local chromatic number, composite-coding, and interlinked cycle cover.

What causes the large extensions of red-supergiant atmospheres? Comparisons of interferometric observations with 1-D hydrostatic, 3-D convection, and 1-D pulsating model atmospheres

description: We present the atmospheric structure and the fundamental parameters of three red supergiants, increasing the sample of RSGs observed by near-infrared spectro-interferometry. Additionally, we test possible mechanisms that may explain the large observed atmospheric extensions of RSGs. We carried out spectro-interferometric observations of 3 RSGs in the near-infrared K-band with the VLTI/AMBER instrument at medium spectral resolution. To comprehend the extended atmospheres, we compared our observational results to predictions by available hydrostatic PHOENIX, available 3-D convection, and new 1-D self-excited pulsation models of RSGs. Our near-infrared flux spectra are well reproduced by the PHOENIX model atmospheres. The continuum visibility values are consistent with a limb-darkened disk as predicted by the PHOENIX models, allowing us to determine the angular diameter and the fundamental parameters of our sources. Nonetheless, in the case of V602 Car and HD 95686, the PHOENIX model visibilities do not predict the large observed extensions of molecular layers, most remarkably in the CO bands. Likewise, the 3-D convection models and the 1-D pulsation models with typical parameters of RSGs lead to compact atmospheric structures as well, which are similar to the structure of the hydrostatic PHOENIX models. They can also not explain the observed decreases in the visibilities and thus the large atmospheric molecular extensions. The full sample of our RSGs indicates increasing observed atmospheric extensions with increasing luminosity and decreasing surface gravity, and no correlation with effective temperature or variability amplitude, which supports a scenario of radiative acceleration on Doppler-shifted molecular lines.

description: In 1954 researchers at the USGS Great Lakes Science Center conducted 11 research cruises on Lake Michigan during which 779 bathythermographs were cast to collect temperature profile data (temperature at depth). Bathythermographs of that era recorded water pressure and temperature data by mechanically etching them as a curve on a glass slide. Data was collected from the glass slide by projecting the image of the curve, superimposing a grid, and taking a photo of it, thereby creating a bathythermogram. Data collection personnel could then read the data from the curve. This USGS data release is a digitized set of those original bathythermogram print photos and the temperature and depth data the project team collected from them using the open-source software, Web Plot Digitizer, as well as metadata describing each. In addition, because of their historical value as well as potential future use, this data release includes the cruise logs, which include nautical and research notes beyond the logical scope of this data release.

description: The James Whitcomb Riley Museum Home (JWRMH), located in Indianapolis, Indiana, is best known for interpreting the life of the famous Hoosier poet who resided at the home for the latter part of his life. The JWRMH has the opportunity to more fully incorporate the domestic staff – Katie Kindell, Dennis Ewing, and Nannie Ewing – who worked at 528 Lockerbie Street during Riley’s residence, into the story told today at the home. The JWRMH has preserved Katie Kindell’s room on the second floor of the home and the butler’s pantry next to the kitchen, places in which interpretation about the domestic staff have long been presented to visitors. Yet archival research shows that there is much more to the lives of the domestic staff than what is currently presented at the house. While Katie Kindell, the only white domestic staff member at the home, has been fairly well documented, much less was known about the home’s two Black domestic staff, Dennis Ewing and Nannie Ewing. Since Dennis Ewing and Nannie Ewing were married, a story about them being married to each other while they worked at the home has long been perpetuated. This study of the documentary record, however, has revealed that their marriage to each other occurred long after they left their employment at 528 Lockerbie Street. This study explores where this myth might have originated, why it has been perpetuated, and how Dennis Ewing and Nannie Ewing’s work and marriage history situates them into the larger story of Black Indianapolis in the early twentieth century. Additionally, exploring the ways in which architecture during the nineteenth and twentieth century isolated the domestic staff and the ways in which this has been reproduced in the site’s interpretive strategies reveals how the lives and stories of the domestic staff have been devalued. This study demonstrates that there is a great opportunity for historic institutions to expand their interpretive narratives and hopes to inspire them to be curious about all the people whose lives shaped their sites.

description: The study of RR Lyrae stars has recently been invigorated thanks to the long, uninterrupted, ultra-precise time series data provided by the Kepler and CoRoT space telescopes. We give a brief overview of the new observational findings concentrating on the connection between period doubling and the Blazhko modulation, and the omnipresence of additional periodicities in all RR Lyrae subtypes, except for non-modulated RRab stars. Recent theoretical results demonstrate that if more than two modes are present in a nonlinear dynamical system such as a high-amplitude RR Lyrae star, the outcome is often an extremely intricate dynamical state. Thus, based on these discoveries, an underlying picture of complex dynamical interactions between modes is emerging which sheds new light on the century-old Blazhko-phenomenon, as well. New directions of theoretical efforts, like multi-dimensional hydrodynamical simulations, future space photometric missions and detailed spectroscopic investigations will pave the way towards a more complete understanding of the atmospheric and pulsation dynamics of these enigmatic touchstone objects.

description: In this paper, we test the hypothesis of the Neolithic Demographic Transition in the Central Balkan Early Neolithic (6250–5300 BC) by applying the method of summed calibrated probability distributions to the set of more than 200 new radiocarbon dates from Serbia. The results suggest that there was an increase in population size after the first farmers arrived to the study area around 6250 BC. This increase lasted for approximately 250 years and was followed by a decrease of the population size proxy after 6000 BC, reaching its minimum around 5800 BC. This was followed by another episode of growth until 5600 BC when population size proxy rapidly declined, reaching its minimum around 5500 BC. The reconstructed intrinsic growth rate value indicates that the first episode of growth might have been fuelled both by high fertility and migrations, potentially related to the effects of the 8.2 ky event. The second episode of population growth after 5800 BC was probably due to the high fertility alone. It remains unclear what caused the population to decrease episodes.This article is part of the theme issue ‘Cross-disciplinary approaches to prehistoric demography'

description: We describe the design, manufacture, and performance of bare-fiber integral field units (IFUs) for the SDSS-IV survey MaNGA (Mapping Nearby Galaxies at APO) on the the Sloan 2.5 m telescope at Apache Point Observatory (APO). MaNGA is a luminosity-selected integral-field spectroscopic survey of 10,000 local galaxies covering 360-1030 nm at R ~ 2200. The IFUs have hexagonal dense packing of fibers with packing regularity of 3 um (RMS), and throughput of 96+/-0.5% from 350 nm to 1 um in the lab. Their sizes range from 19 to 127 fibers (3-7 hexagonal layers) using Polymicro FBP 120:132:150 um core:clad:buffer fibers to reach a fill fraction of 56%. High throughput (and low focal-ratio degradation) is achieved by maintaining the fiber cladding and buffer intact, ensuring excellent surface polish, and applying a multi-layer AR coating of the input and output surfaces. In operations on-sky, the IFUs show only an additional 2.3% FRD-related variability in throughput despite repeated mechanical stressing during plate plugging (however other losses are present). The IFUs achieve on-sky throughput 5% above the single-fiber feeds used in SDSS-III/BOSS, attributable to equivalent performance compared to single fibers and additional gains from the AR coating. The manufacturing process is geared toward mass-production of high-multiplex systems. The low-stress process involves a precision ferrule with hexagonal inner shape designed to lead inserted fibers to settle in a dense hexagonal pattern. The ferrule inner diameter is tapered at progressively shallower angles toward its tip and the final 2 mm are straight and only a few um larger than necessary to hold the desired number of fibers. This process scales to accommodate other fiber sizes and to IFUs with substantially larger fiber count. (Abridged)

description: After the democratic South African government came into power in 1994, the education system
faced the challenge to redress socioeconomic disadvantages inherited from apartheid. My
research examines one component of the new education system: the distribution of educators. I
use government data not publicly available to document educator distribution trends among
schools of different levels of poverty in two provinces, Gauteng and the Western Cape. The
quantity and level of qualifications of educators are measured, and the trends are linked to
student outcomes. The results are consistent across both provinces: Descriptive statistics and
regression analysis finds that, on average, schools with relatively less poverty experience a lower
pupil-educator ratio and have educators of higher qualifications. A contributor to this inequality
is the practice of local school governing bodies in relatively wealthier schools hiring additional
educators beyond what the state provides. State provision is itself a contributor to inequality in
some cases. The impact of the quantity of educators and of the level of qualifications on student
outcomes is unclear. Ultimately, my research suggests that the current distribution of educators

in South Africa falls short of the principles of equality and redress at the foundation of the post-
apartheid education system.

description: H παρούσα εργασία αποτελεί προκαταρκτική μελέτη περίπτωσης η οποία αποσκοπεί στο να διερευνήσει το σύστημα αξιολόγησης ανθρώπινου δυναμικού σε ένα συγκεκριμένο ξενοδοχείο. Η έρευνα διεξήχθη στο τουριστικό θέρετρο Costa Navarino, το οποίο είναι ένα πολυτελές ξενοδοχείο στην περιοχή της Μεσσηνίας και ο κύριος στόχος είναι να εξεταστεί με ποιο τρόπο επιτυγχάνει το τμήμα ανθρώπινου δυναμικού να αξιολογήσει τους εργαζομένους τους. Το γενικό συμπέρασμα της υπάρχουσας μελέτης είναι ότι όταν ένα ξενοδοχείο επιλέγει τους πλέον κατάλληλους και πιο παραγωγικούς υποψηφίους, αυξάνεται η παραγωγικότητά, η αποτελεσματικότητα καθώς και η ικανοποίηση των εργαζομένων. Η δομή της διατριβής αποτελείται από δύο βασικά μέρη, το θεωρητικό και το ερευνητικό και διαρθρώνεται συνολικά σε εννιά κεφάλαια. Στα κεφάλαια του πρώτου μέρους καταγράφεται η βιβλιογραφική ανασκόπηση για τη διοίκηση ανθρώπινου δυναμικού στον ξενοδοχειακό κλάδο, όπως ο λόγος ύπαρξης του τμήματος, οι αρμοδιότητες του, η σπουδαιότητά του μέσα στον οργανισμό, η στελέχωση προσωπικού, η προσέλκυση υποψηφίων, η επιλογή και η αξιολόγηση του προσωπικού. Με βάση τον κύριο στόχο της έρευνας, στο όγδοο κεφάλαιο, σε θεωρητικό επίπεδο εξετάστηκε το τουριστικό θέρετρο Costa Navarino ως προς το τμήμα του ανθρώπινου δυναμικού καθώς και του συστήματος αξιολόγησης που έχουν υιοθετήσει για τους υπαλλήλους του. Σε εμπειρικό επίπεδο, διεξήχθη έρευνα που απευθύνθηκε στον συντονιστή του τμήματος ανθρώπινου δυναμικού, την προϊσταμένη του γραφείου υποδοχής των πελατών και τον διευθυντή του τμήματος συντήρησης με σκοπό να διερευνηθεί πολύπλευρα το σύστημα αξιολόγησης των εργαζομένων από τα διάφορα τμήματα της επιχείρησης. Τέλος, στο ένατο κεφάλαιο, αναγράφονται τα συμπεράσματα, οι περιορισμοί της έρευνας, οι προτάσεις για μελλοντική έρευνα και οι πρακτικές προεκτάσεις οι οποίες θα συμβάλουν στην περαιτέρω ανάπτυξη του τουρισμού στα ξενοδοχεία της Ελλάδας.

description: In 1922, George Tompkins was found dead in an isolated area of Riverside Park. Though the media and evidence present pointed to Tompkins having been the victim of a lynching, the official ruling was that of suicide. Almost a century later, a multiracial, driven group of individuals set out to memorialize Tompkins as a victim of lynching and challenge the ruling that he had taken his own life. In discussing deaths such as George Tompkins’, it is vital to remind oneself that the victims of lynchings were more than just statistics in the ongoing epidemic of anti-Black violence that has permeated the history of the United States. By employing a victim-centered methodology, we can examine the lives of these victims before the worst happened to them and recognize the three-dimensionality of their lived experiences. This work examines the lived experience, lynching death, and memorialization process one hundred years later of George Tompkins. In understanding the means by which he lived, died, and was remembered, we can better understand the ways that this process can play a role in multiple contemporary communities.

description: The Triassic pterosaur Austriadactylus cristatus is reported for the first time from the Norian (Upper Triassic) of north-eastern Italy. It is only the second specimen of this taxon and provides new information on the mandibular dentition, cranium and postcranium (cervical vertebrae and the forelimb), not available in the holotype. A cladistic analysis shows that Austriadactylus is phylogenetically closer to Preondactylus than to Eudimorphodon.

description: Let $B$ be an unknown linear evolution process on $\mathbb C^d\simeq l^2(\mathbb Z_d)$ driving an unknown initial state $x$ and producing the states $\{B^\ell x, \ell = 0,1,\ldots\}$ at different time levels. The problem under consideration in this paper is to find as much information as possible about $B$ and $x$ from the measurements $Y=\{x(i)$, $Bx(i)$, $\dots$, $B^{\ell_i}x(i): i \in Ω\subset \mathbb Z^d\}$. If $B$ is a "low-pass" convolution operator, we show that we can recover both $B$ and $x$, almost surely, as long as we double the amount of temporal samples needed in \cite{ADK13} to recover the signal propagated by a known operator $B$. For a general operator $B$, we can recover parts or even all of its spectrum from $Y$. As a special case of our method, we derive the centuries old Prony's method \cite{BDVMC08, P795, PP13} which recovers a vector with an $s$-sparse Fourier transform from $2s$ of its consecutive components.

description: Background: Meditation-Based Lifestyle Modification (MBLM) is a new mind-body intervention that is based on classical yoga; it implements virtue-based ethical living, physical yoga, and meditation in a therapeutic context. This qualitative study aimed at understanding better how depressive patients who received MBLM as a treatment experience intra- and interpersonal outcomes of their practice. Methods: In a larger randomized controlled trial of MBLM in depressive outpatients, a subsample (n = 12) completed in-depth interviews. To determine short-term and long-term effects, cohorts were interviewed at two different times after intervention onset (T1 = 8 weeks; T2 = 6 months). Verbatim interview transcripts were analyzed by using thematic analysis. Results: Three themes emerged in the interviews: (1) Reappraisal of past and present life patterns, leading to a reflection on one's own values; (2) Serenity, attained by states of calm, growing acceptance, and the ability to set boundaries; and (3) Mindful living as expressed by increased self-awareness, being more present, and conscious interactions. The ethical component of MBLM was identified as a key factor in individual empowerment and appreciation of one's own strengths. Systematic changes in the importance of reported themes after 6 months (T2) reflected the sustained effects of the intervention. Conclusions: The findings speak clearly for the benefits of MBLM in the treatment of depression. In particular, the explicit therapeutic implementation of virtue-based ethics offers a valuable addition to previous yoga and meditation programs.

envolvimento dos pais

description: Décadas de pesquisa dos Estados Unidos e de outros países de alta renda mostram que o envolvimento dos pais na educação dos seus filhos tem um impacto positivo no desempenho acadêmico dos estudantes. No entanto, não está claro se esses constatações se generalizam para um país de renda média como o Brasil, onde a educação média é menor e os recursos para investir em crianças são mais limitados. Por outro lado, os pais brasileiros poderiam incentivar a escolarização das crianças porque os brasileiros se beneficiam de alguns dos maiores retornos à educação do mundo. Usando dados de vários milhões de alunos da quinta e nona série matriculados em escolas públicas brasileiras, o pesquisador de pós-graduação da PRC, Andrew Koepp, a Diretora da PRC Liz Gershoff e a Pesquisadora da PRC Letícia Marteleto descobriram que o envolvimento dos pais estava indiretamente ligado ao desempenho dos alunos através da conclusão dos deveres de casa pelos alunos e que envolvia até mesmo pais com poucos anos de escolaridade formal. Eles argumentam que as intervençoes e os programas de extensão devem, portanto, visar todos os pais para melhorar o sucesso acadêmico e profissional das crianças a longo prazo.

description: Understanding human mobility is of vital importance for urban planning, epidemiology, and many other fields that aim to draw policies from the activities of humans in space. Despite recent availability of large scale data sets related to human mobility such as GPS traces, mobile phone data, etc., it is still true that such data sets represent a subsample of the population of interest, and then might give an incomplete picture of the entire population in question. Notwithstanding the abundant usage of such inherently limited data sets, the impact of sampling biases on mobility patterns is unclear -- we do not have methods available to reliably infer mobility information from a limited data set. Here, we investigate the effects of sampling using a data set of millions of taxi movements in New York City. On the one hand, we show that mobility patterns are highly stable once an appropriate simple rescaling is applied to the data, implying negligible loss of information due to subsampling over long time scales. On the other hand, contrasting an appropriate null model on the weighted network of vehicle flows reveals distinctive features which need to be accounted for. Accordingly, we formulate a "supersampling" methodology which allows us to reliably extrapolate mobility data from a reduced sample and propose a number of network-based metrics to reliably assess its quality (and that of other human mobility models). Our approach provides a well founded way to exploit temporal patterns to save effort in recording mobility data, and opens the possibility to scale up data from limited records when information on the full system is needed.

description: In this paper, a new proof for the degrees of freedom (DoF) region of the K-user multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) broadcast channel (BC) with no channel state information at the transmitter (CSIT) and perfect channel state information at the receivers (CSIR) is provided. Based on this proof, the capacity region of a certain class of MIMO BC with channel distribution information at the transmitter (CDIT) and perfect CSIR is derived. Finally, an outer bound for the DoF region of the K-user MIMO interference channel (IC) with no CSIT is provided.
