description: We study the continuum limit in 2+1 dimensions of nanoscale anisotropic diffusion processes on crystal surfaces relaxing to become flat below roughening. Our main result is a continuum law for the surface flux in terms of a new continuum-scale tensor mobility. The starting point is the Burton, Cabrera and Frank (BCF) theory, which offers a discrete scheme for atomic steps whose motion drives surface evolution. Our derivation is based on the separation of local space variables into fast and slow. The model includes: (i) anisotropic diffusion of adsorbed atoms (adatoms) on terraces separating steps; (ii) diffusion of atoms along step edges; and (iii) attachment-detachment of atoms at step edges. We derive a parabolic fourth-order, fully nonlinear partial differential equation (PDE) for the continuum surface height profile. An ingredient of this PDE is the surface mobility for the adatom flux, which is a nontrivial extension of the tensor mobility for isotropic terrace diffusion derived previously by Margetis and Kohn. Approximate, separable solutions of the PDE are discussed.

The Conscript

description: Considered the first post-colonial Eritrean novel, The Conscript by Gebreyesus Hailu was originally written in Tigrinya in 1927 and published in the same language two decades later. The novel follows Tuquabo, a young soldier recruited by the Italian colonial army to fight Arab nationalist forces in Libya. The emergence of post-colonial African literature was shaped by what Mary Louise Pratt has conceptualized as contact zones I develop Pratt‘s notion of the contact zone as the site not only of cultural clashing but also of undoing harmful beliefs and false narratives. This article posits an autoethnographic reading of The Conscript because of its status as the first book formally published in Tigrinya, the ironic response to Italian colonialism in Eastern Africa, and the incorporation of multiple oral story-telling methods.

description: Este artículo tiene por objetivo reflexionar en torno a las formaciones nacionales de alteridad en el museo, en cuanto espacio representacional de una memoria oficial. En específico, nos interesa profundizar en las narrativas de «lo indio» a partir de algunos elementos de las colecciones de los museos históricos nacionales de México, Chile y Argentina. Entendemos la creación de estos espacios al alero de la construcción de «lo nacional» durante el siglo XIX, cuya proyección en el tiempo ha sostenido el relato de la historia patria. Así, a través de objetos específicos de sus colecciones, problematizaremos en torno al museo como un lugar de memoria fundante (Assmann, 1995); es decir, como articulador de narrativas que seleccionan, jerarquizan y adjetivan el pasado a fin de dotar de sentido a la nación imaginada (Anderson, 2006).
Cast, compaction, vibro-compaction or extrusion: processing methods for optimizing the mechanical strength of raw earth-based materials

description: In the last few years, raw earth construction has recovered much consideration due to its low environmental impact, its local character and its recyclability. However the strength of this material is really fluctuating as a consequence of soil’s variability and the different methods that are used in vernacular earth construction. The aim of this study is to identify the mechanisms that increase the strength of this material. The optimization of the processing method of raw earth’s blocks is sought in order to get better strengths systematically for different sorts of soils. All of these soils are extracted from the same region, Brittany, in order to insist on the local character of this material. For three sorts of soils from Brittany this study will focus on four different processing methods: casting, compaction, vibro-compaction and extrusion. These soils will be mixed with water only or water and Sodium-hexametaphosphate which acts as a dispersant. The rheological behaviour of each soil will be adapted to the different processing methods. The fact that, for earth-based materials, the compressive strength at the dry state depends on its dry density will be shown. Thus it will be displayed that the processing method, and the use of dispersant that allows to reduce the water content during the processing, can be efficient to enhance the dry density and consequently the compressive strength of all of the selected soils. Those strategies are also efficient to improve the process robustness for ensuring high levels of compressive strength and dry density for raw earth construction. This study highlights that some of these methods could be used soon at a semi-industrial scale, to produce a structural material that needs to achieve compliance with modern standards without hydraulic binders.

description: microorganisms. The third part of this dissertation involves the identification and characterization of siderophores produced by the halophilic and alkaliphilic bacterium Halomonas campisalis. Several desferrioxamine siderophores including desferrioxamines G1, G1t, X3, X7, D2, and E were isolated from low-iron, culture supernatant and structurally characterized by ESI-MS and ESIMS/MS. This work represents the first documentation of ferrioxamine production by a haloalkaliphilic bacterium. The fourth part of this dissertation is an assessment of siderophore production in a naturally saline and alkaline environment, the soda lake Soap Lake, located in eastern Washington State, USA. Eight siderophore producing halo-alkaliphiles were isolated from Soap Lake. Of these isolates, several were found to belong to the genus Halomonas. The isolate SL28, most closely related to Halomonas pantelleriense, was found to produce a new family of six of amphiphilic siderophores, named the sodachelins. The sodachelin siderophores are of particular interest because, when exposed to UV light, they facilitate a photolytic reduction of Fe(III) to Fe(II) along with a cleavage of the ligand located at the -hydroxyaspartate residue. To my knowledge, this is the first characterization of amphiphilic siderophores produced by a bacterium from a soda lake environment that is capable of reducing Fe(III). The final portion of this dissertation contains suggestions for future work. Much of this work focuses on the identification of the siderophores produced by other halophilic and alkaliphilic isolates obtained in an earlier portion of this work. Siderophore production in haloalkaliphiles (and extremophiles in general) is poorly characterized and some of the isolates appear to produce siderophores that may constitute new compounds.
Strength and stress-strain characteristics of coir fibre reinforced cement stabilised rammed earth

description: Rammed earth is a monolithic construction that involves dynamically compacting processed soil in progressive layers in a rigid formwork. Cement stabilised rammed earth (CSRE) is used for the construction of load bearing walls in buildings. CSRE walls predominantly undergo sudden catastrophic shear failure under compressive loading. Fibre reinforced composites show high ductility under compression and shear avoiding the sudden catastrophic failures of the structural elements. Hence, the present investigation was focused on the behaviour of coir fibre reinforced cement stabilised rammed earth. The influence of fibre volume fraction and moisture content at the time of testing on the strength and stress strain relationships of CSRE were examined and compared. The variables considered include fibre volume fraction, moisture content at the time of testing for a given dry density, cement content and fibre aspect ratio. The strength and stress-strain relationships of CSRE with and without fibres were measured. The results show about 30-40% increase in compressive strength of fibre reinforced CSRE when compared to the unreinforced rammed earth. The stress-strain curves show large energy absorption capacity for fibre reinforced CSRE. The moisture content of the specimen during testing significantly influence the characteristics of fibre reinforced CSRE. Coir fibres can be used for improving the strength and ductility of the rammed earth.

description: This report is the fourth in a series describing the efforts by the Software Engineering Institute (SEI), and in particular those of its CERT Program to increase the capacity of institutions of higher education to offer information assurance (IA) and information security (IS) courses. Other goals are to expand existing IA and IS offerings and to include IA and IS topics and perspectives in other courses. For each participating institution, these efforts are aligned with the focus of its involved academic department, current curriculum, and accreditation requirements. The report describes SEI activities for accomplishing its goals: participating in faculty capacity building programs funded by the National Science Foundation; creating and transitioning courseware, materials, and a newly created survivability and information assurance curriculum; and collaborating with key regional educational institutions. This report also presents four approaches the SEI has developed for its educational outreach in IA. The SEI applies these approaches as it works with all institutions of higher education, with a particular focus on minority-serving institutions and community colleges in the United States.
Expansion in Higher Harmonics of Boson Stars using a Generalized Ruffini-Bonazzola Approach, Part 1: Bound States

description: The method pioneered by Ruffini and Bonazzola (RB) to describe boson stars involves an expansion of the boson field which is linear in creation and annihilation operators. In the nonrelativistic limit, the equation of motion of RB is equivalent to the nonlinear Schrödinger equation. Further, the RB expansion constitutes an exact solution to a non-interacting field theory, and has been used as a reasonable ansatz for an interacting one. In this work, we show how one can go beyond the RB ansatz towards an exact solution of the interacting operator Klein-Gordon equation, which can be solved iteratively to ever higher precision. Our Generalized Ruffini-Bonazzola approach takes into account contributions from nontrivial harmonic dependence of the wavefunction, using a sum of terms with energy $k\,E_0$, where $k\geq1$ and $E_0$ is the chemical potential of a single bound axion. The method critically depends on an expansion in a parameter $Δ\equiv \sqrt{1 - E_0{}^2/m^2} < 1$, where $m$ is the mass of the boson. In the case of the axion potential, we calculate corrections which are relevant for axion stars in the transition or dense branches of solutions. We find with high precision the local minimum of the mass, $M_{min}\approx 463\,f^2/m$, at $Δ\approx0.27$, where $f$ is the axion decay constant. This point marks the crossover from the transition branch to the dense branch of solutions, and a corresponding crossover from structural instability to stability.

description: In this work we investigate the stellar population, metallicity distribution and ionized gas in the elliptical galaxy NGC 5044, using long-slit spectroscopy and a stellar population synthesis method. We found differences in the slope of metal-line profiles along the galaxy which suggests an enhancement of alpha elements, particularly towards the central region. The presence of a non-thermal ionization source, such as a low-luminosity AGN and/or shock ionization, is implied by the large values of the ratio (N II])Ha observed in all sampled regions. However, the emission lines observed in the external regions indicate the presence of an additional ionization source, probably hot, post-AGB stars.

PEUT-ON ÊTRE TROP SPORTIF? LES ENJEUX DE LÉGITIMATION DE L’ADDICTION AU SPORT À L’ÉPOQUE CONTEMPORAINE.
Creators: name: Beaudoin, Chloé
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2023

description: En 1970, en menant une étude au sujet des effets de l'exercice sur le sommeil, Frederick Baekeland fut le premier à introduire le concept d'addiction au sport. Depuis, ce trouble de santé mentale, souvent décrit comme ‘l'addiction positive’ (Glasser, 1976), a été le thème de nombreuses études au sein de la littérature scientifique. Cependant, plus de 50 ans après son introduction, cette addiction éprouve toujours des enjeux de légitimation. Comme bien d'autres addictions comportementales, l'addiction au sport est ainsi remise en question en tant que problème de santé mentale primaire. En effet, ce trouble est encore trop souvent considéré comme un symptôme secondaire à de nombreuses pathologies dont la reconnaissance est déjà acquise par le champ médical (Pinna et al., 2015). À travers l'analyse de discours provenant d’entretiens menés auprès d’acteurs∙rices clefs du domaine de l'addiction sportive (n=6), cette étude a pour but de comprendre le cheminement de cette addiction dans les domaines scientifique et social. Le cadre théorique sociologique préconisé pour cette étude, la théorie des niches écologiques (Hacking, 1998), nous a ainsi permis de déterminer que ces défis ont trait 1) au manque de reconnaissance de cette addiction dans la littérature scientifique ; 2) du manque de critères diagnostiques facilement observable par le corps médical ; et enfin, 3) de la valorisation culturelle du sport dans la société contemporaine. Ce mémoire sert également de référence aux travailleurs sociaux pour faciliter l'identification et l'intervention auprès des individus atteints de ce trouble et propose également des pistes par lesquelles le domaine peut contribuer à la légitimation de ce trouble. Mots-clés : addiction au sport, addiction comportementale, addiction primaire, addiction secondaire, théorie des niches écologique, travail social, trouble de santé mentale

description: While modern parallel computing systems offer high performance, utilizing these powerful computing resources to the highest possible extent demands advanced knowledge of various hardware architectures and parallel programming models. Furthermore, optimized software execution on parallel computing systems demands consideration of many parameters at compile-time and run-time. Determining the optimal set of parameters in a given execution context is a complex task, and therefore to address this issue researchers have proposed different approaches that use heuristic search or machine learning. In this paper, we undertake a systematic literature review to aggregate, analyze and classify the existing software optimization methods for parallel computing systems. We review approaches that use machine learning or meta-heuristics for software optimization at compile-time and run-time. Additionally, we discuss challenges and future research directions. The results of this study may help to better understand the state-of-the-art techniques that use machine learning and meta-heuristics to deal with the complexity of software optimization for parallel computing systems. Furthermore, it may aid in understanding the limitations of existing approaches and identification of areas for improvement.

The political effects of the digital divide
Creators: name: Wei, Lu
Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2007
Subjects: Digital divide -- Political aspects

description: This study explores the political effects of the digital divide. Specifically, it investigates the effects of the first and second digital divides on people’s political knowledge and participation. It also compares the usage gap of new media and traditional media and their differential impacts on political knowledge and participation. The role of knowledge in the political effects model of the digital divide is also examined.
description: Two data sets are analyzed to test the hypotheses. One is the Pew political communications national survey in 2004, and the other is the Washington State University college student survey in 2007.
description: Based on bivariate test, regression analysis, and path models, the findings show that the informational use of the Internet is more important than the access to the Internet in predicting political knowledge and participation. Moreover, there is a greater education-based usage gap of the Internet than of the traditional media in the general population. While no education-based usage gap has been found in the student sample, there is a greater gender-based usage gap of the Internet than of the traditional media among the members of this group.
description: Regarding the effects of the differential usage gaps of new media and old media, different data sets produce different findings. The education-based usage gap of the Internet has a greater effect on knowledge and participation in the general population, whereas the gender-based usage gap of the Internet has a weaker impact than that of traditional media in the student sample.
description: The mediating role of political knowledge between the digital divide and political participation is supported by the Pew national data, but not by the WSU student data. While the informational use of the Internet can predict political knowledge in the general population, there is no significant relationship between knowledge and participation among college students.
description: Implications of this study are discussed, including revisiting the definition of the digital divide, justifying the necessity of the digital divide research, answering the “so what” question previous literature has yet sufficiently addressed, and assessing the effects of the digital divide in an Internet-saturated population.

description: Las mujeres en Colombia a lo largo de la historia han sido objeto de múltiples factores de discriminación económica, social y cultural que las han afectado no solo en el acceso a la educación, remuneración equitativa, estabilidad en el empleo, ingreso a altos cargos sino también a la consolidación de un derecho a una pensión digna. Las cifras demuestran que el número de pensionadas por vejez es significativamente inferior al de los hombres y en contraste, son las que más solicitan devolución aportes o indemnización sustitutiva. Así, a pesar del beneficio de aminoración de semanas anunciado en la Sentencia C-197 de 2023, no se establecen medidas efectivas para disminuir la inequidad de la que son víctimas, pues una norma pensional ya sea adoptada por el Congreso o por la interpretación que haga la Corte Constitucional no ataca las causas estructurales que la generan. Esto, porque se originan en distorsiones del mercado laboral que impactan la consolidación del derecho. Por lo que resulta necesario incluir medidas que suplan la falta de cotización derivada de los problemas de empleabilidad derivados del desarrollo de sus roles de maternidad y cuidado, así como la vulnerabilidad en el empleo durante su etapa de adultez.
description: Throughout history, women in Colombia have been subject to various factors of economic, social, and cultural discrimination, affecting them not only in terms of access to education, equitable remuneration, job stability, and ascending to high-ranking positions but also in the establishment of a right to a pension. Statistics show that the number of women receiving an old-age pension is significantly lower than that of men, and conversely, women are those who most frequently request the return of contributions or alternative compensation. Thus, despite the benefit of a reduction in the number of weeks a woman must accrue to earn the right to an old-age pension, announced in decision C-197-23, effective measures to decrease the inequity they suffer are not established. This is due to the fact that a single change in social security legislation, whether adopted by Congress or interpreted by the Constitutional Court, does not tackle the structural causes behind it. These root causes stem from labor market distortions that impact the consolidation of their rights. Therefore, it becomes necessary to include measures that compensate for the lack of contributions resulting from employability issues arising from their roles in motherhood, caregiving and vulnerability in employment during their adult stage.

description: Tourism is a growing industry within Inuit Nunangat and an important part of Nunavut’s economy. The discovery of the Franklin Wrecks, on September 2, 2014 and September 3, 2016, is expected to generate tourism demand and related tourism development opportunities. However, what is unclear is 1) what the potential visitor experience could look like; and 2) the feasibility of developing a visitor experience. The purpose of this research project was to document community knowledge and perspectives on tourism development to assist in tourism planning, management and development at the Franklin Wrecks sites. This report reflects the knowledge and opinions gathered through interviews with community members in Gjoa Haven who were identified as key knowledge holders and/or experts. The specific project objectives were to... 1. Identify community perspectives and recommendations for tourism development; 2. Document community perspectives on the Wrecks of the HMS Erebus and HMS Terror National Historic Site as a tourist destination; and 3. Determine how the Franklin Wrecks will influence tourism development in Gjoa Haven. Key findings of the project are... The community of Gjoa Haven would welcome tourism and would like to see the number of tourists coming into the community increase; For tourism to increase in Gjoa Haven and around the Franklin Wrecks sites, key infrastructure and facilities are needed (e.g. expanded airstrip, harbours, larger community spaces (i.e. buildings) and cabins at the Franklin Wrecks sites); and The potential for economic development related to the discovery of the Franklin Wrecks is known to the community. The demand is there and the community needs to be prepared in order to maximize the benefits of it. Community-identified recommendations include... Build infrastructure for tourism that will also have residual benefits to the community; Market and share information about Gjoa Haven to the outside world; Develop tourism attractions and elements of the visitor experience; Create more transportation options; Increase search and rescue capabilities; and Prepare the community for tourism.

description: Non-stoichiometry effect on the extreme magnetoresistance is systematically investigated for the Weyl semimetal WTe2. Magnetoresistance and Hall resistivity are measured for the as-grown samples with a slight difference in Te vacancies and the annealed samples with increased Te vacancies. The fittings to a two-carrier model show that the magnetoresistance is strongly dependent on the residual resistivity ratio (i.e., the degree of non-stoichiometry), which is eventually understood in terms of electron doping which not only breaks the balance between electron-type and hole-type carrier densities but also reduces the average carrier mobility. Thus, compensation effect and ultrahigh mobility are probably the main driving force of the extreme magnetoresistance in WTe2.

description: The steadily increasing technical and environmental complexity of today's globally networked economy presents many obstacles to organizations as they attempt to protect their information assets. Information assets are constantly processed and combined to form new information assets. The line between ownership and custodianship of information assets blurs as information freely flows throughout an organization and often crosses outside organizational boundaries to other entities such as partners, customers, and suppliers. The CERT Survivable Enterprise Management group at the Software Engineering Institute developed the Information Asset Profiling (IAP) process as a tool to help organizations begin to address these security challenges. The authors describe IAP, a documented and repeatable process for developing consistent asset profiles. They also explain how the development of an information asset inventory using the IAP process provides a strong basis for organizations to begin to identify and address their information security needs.

description: We present the multiwavelength identifications for 23 sources in the Canada-UK Deep Submillimeter Survey (CUDSS) 14h field. The identifications have been selected on the basis of radio and near-infrared data, and we argue that, to our observational limits, both are effective at selecting the correct counterparts of the SCUBA sources. We discuss the properties of these identifications and find that they are very red in near-infrared color, with many classified as extremely red objects, and show disturbed morphologies. Using the entire CUDSS catalog of 50 sources, we use a combination of spectroscopic redshifts (four objects), 1.4 GHz : 850 μm flux ratio redshift estimates (10 objects), and redshift lower limits based on nondetections at 1.4 GHz (the rest of the sample) to estimate a lower limit on the median redshift of the population of zmed > 1.4. Working from simple models and using the properties of the secure identifications, we discuss general and tentative constraints on the redshift distribution and the expected colors and magnitudes of the entire population.

description: For the constant-roll tachyon inflation, we derive the analytical expressions for the scalar and tensor power spectra, the scalar and tensor spectral tilts and the tensor to scalar ratio up to the first order by using the method of Bessel function approximation. The derived $n_s-r$ results for the constant-roll inflation are also compared with the observations, we find that only one constant-roll inflation is consistent with the observations and observations constrain the constant-roll inflation to be slow-roll inflation. The tachyon potential is also reconstructed for the constant-roll inflation which is consistent with the observations.

description: Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a complex semisimple Lie algebra with associated Yangian $Y_\hbar\mathfrak{g}$. In the mid-1990s, Khoroshkin and Tolstoy formulated a conjecture which asserts that the algebra $\mathrm{D}Y_\hbar\mathfrak{g}$ obtained by doubling the generators of $Y_\hbar\mathfrak{g}$, called the Yangian double, provides a realization of the quantum double of the Yangian. We provide a uniform proof of this conjecture over $\mathbb{C}[\![\hbar]\!]$ which is compatible with the theory of quantized enveloping algebras. As a byproduct, we identify the universal $R$-matrix of the Yangian with the canonical element defined by the pairing between the Yangian and its restricted dual.

description: A real-time Ada application, an Inertial Navigation System (INS) simulator, is being developed by the Real-Time Embedded Systems Testbed Project as a vehicle to analyze issues regarding the use of Ada in the real-time embedded domain and to provide a context for future experimentation. The technical philosophy behind developing a real-time Ada artifact is to: (1) select a representative (e.g., strict timing demands, multiple concurrent activities, low-level I/O, error handling, interrupts, and periodic activities) real-time application; (2) use Ada tasks as the unit of concurrency for the real-time design; and (3) apply any relevant practical results being produced by the real-time scheduling research community. In particular, the INS simulator must satisfy a set of timing requirements that are similar to an INS with respect to data updating, message transmission, and message reception. This document discusses the top-level design of this application from three points of view: data flow perspective, concurrency and control perspective, and the Ada module perspective.
Risk, induced innovation, and productivity convergence in U.S. agriculture

description: This dissertation empirically analyzes the refutable implications of output price
description: and quantity risk, price-induced innovation, and factor productivity convergence. The
description: dissertation is organized following the manuscript format approved by the school and
description: university, with separate self-contained chapters devoted to each of the three empirical
description: questions. Refutable implications based on the curvature properties of the indirect utility
description: function for the competitive firm operating under uncertainty are extended to the case of
description: both price and quantity uncertainty. Using unit roots and cointegration tests for
description: heterogeneous panels, a model of U.S. agricultural production is developed based on the
description: time series properties of a panel of state-level data. Most refutable hypotheses under
description: output price and output quantity risk are not rejected, but symmetry conditions implied by a twice-continuously-differentiable indirect utility function are rejected. Ad-hoc risk
description: preference assumptions of either risk neutrality or constant absolute risk aversion are also rejected. The same test conclusions are obtained from a traditional model that presumes stationarity in all variables. The hypothesis of induced innovation is tested for U.S. agriculture using a highquality state-level panel data set and three disparate testing techniques – time series, econometric, and nonparametric. The conclusion of little support for the hypothesis is robust across testing techniques. However, each test maintains the hypothesis that the relative marginal cost of developing and implementing technologies that save one input is the same as for any other input. Lacking data on development and implementation costs of input-saving technologies, nonparametric procedures are used to estimate relative differences required for technological change to be consistent with the induced innovation hypothesis. For consistency with the hypothesis, the marginal cost of developing and implementing land- and capital-saving technology must have been greater than for material-saving technology. Considering dynamic effects of health and inter-state and inter-industry knowledge spillovers, total factor productivity (TFP) convergence in U.S. agriculture is examined using recently developed procedures for panel data and a growth accounting model. Strong evidence is found to support the hypothesis that the TFP converges to a steady-state. Health care access in rural areas and research spillovers from other states and from nonagricultural sectors are found to have significant impacts on the productivity growth rate both in the short-run and long-run. These results suggest richer opportunities for policymakers to enhance productivity growth.

description: In this work we study the electrized quark matter under finite temperature and density conditions in the context of the SU(2) and SU(3) Nambu--Jona-Lasinio models. To this end, we evaluate the effective quark masses and the Schwinger quark-antiquark pair production rate. For the SU(3) NJL model we incorporate in the Lagrangian the 't Hooft determinant and we present a set of analytical expressions more convenient for numerical evaluations. We predict a decrease of the pseudocritical electric field with the increase of the temperature for both models and a more prominent production rate for the SU(3) model when compared to the SU(2).
