  The second study, Live, Laugh, Lurk finds that, on Reddit, political knowledge is unrelated to the rate at which individuals contribute political content, and that political interest is primarily involved with an initial political post rather than the motivation of further political posts. Additionally, I find that free time and civic skills, core components of the civic voluntarism model of political participation, are unrelated to posting political content.

  Additionally, even common ILs like 1-hexyl-3-methyl-imidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([hmim][Tf2N]) were found to have excellent selectivity for CO2 relative to N2 and other components in flue gas based on pure physical absorption. These efforts have resulted in a ten fold increase in the carrying capacity of ILs for CO2 while maintaining good selectivity relative to other flue gas components.

  This thesis examines the interactions between nitrogen activated by a dielectric barrier discharge plasma and supported metal catalysts primarily for driving low temperature atmospheric pressure ammonia synthesis, but also for the coupling of nitrogen with oxygen and hydrocarbons. Direct observation of plasma-catalyst interactions through inelastic neutron scattering makes it clear that plasma activation of N2 facilitates the adsorption of N on a catalyst surface at atmospheric pressure and low temperature.

In the recent literature on Kant's aesthetics, it is commonly asserted that Kant's discussion of genius in the Critique of Judgment is 'parergonal,' or merely extrinsic to his aesthetics.

summary:
  Composed during the decade following his 1884 transatlantic journey to visit Italian emigration settlements in Latin America, De Amicis' Italian-Latin American emigration narratives highlight the hardships faced by the author's emigrant compatriots. Concerned that mass emigration threatened efforts to project a geographically cohesive Italian nation that would attest to Italian political and economic parity with leading European powers, they supported imperialist plans to redirect Italian emigrants to state-sponsored colonial settlements and accommodate all Italian citizens on what had traditionally been Italian soil.

  Structural Equation Modeling was used to test main effects of the intervention as well as research-informed process models of family conflict and its effects on later family and adolescent psychological adjustment. In addressing the three aims that we set out to test (i.e., the direct effects of the intervention, whether or not these effects occurred through changes in family conflict behaviors, and whether emotional insecurity mediates the effect of the intervention on child psychological outcomes), we found support for the efficacy of the intervention itself at improving several long-term outcomes (both observed and reported).

summary:
  These contributions include (1) a Bivariate Regressive Adaptive INdex (BRAIN) for damage detection that proves to be more robust and accurate than previous formats, (2) a Restricted Input Network Activation Scheme (RINAS) with a new image-based vehicle classification algorithm that not only reduces the size of reference databases and enhances detection reliability, but also relieves computational burdens and extends network lifetime and (3) an offline damage localization technique employing Dempster-Shafer Evidence Theory that is capable of effectively isolating damage positions even for minor loss levels. Thus the primary research tasks in this dissertation can be summarized as: Develop a wireless sensor network philosophy that provides reliable data for detection and localization of damage in complex Civil Infrastructure, while maximizing the performance and lifetime of the hardware Develop an assessment framework suitable for damage detection and localization using data measured from a distributed wireless sensors and suitable for operation within said network, i.e., recognizing the computational resources, communications constraints, and power available to the network Analytically and experimentally verify, at various scales and levels of complexity, the proposed network philosophy and assessment framework.

  Paths of Legitimacy: A Sociology of the First Amendment Examining Legal Change at the Boundary Between State and Society

summary:
  The analysis develops a sociology of the First Amendment, tracing the political influences and institutional logics that shape judicial decisions and, conversely, the influence of First Amendment law on institutional logics and behavior in other spheres. In the first two parts of the study, it is shown that the juridical field is sometimes influenced by political codes, such as civil religion, a form of nationalism that governs the display of religious symbols in public; and, conversely, that legal categories influence the realm of civil liberties, for instance, media ethics, an area considered beyond regulation.

summary:
  Such shifts occur because the system has alternative stable states and external disturbances force the system's operating point to shift from one stable state to another. We show that by using techniques from algebraic geometry and polynomial optimization, the computation of this quantity in a class of nonnegative systems with kinetic realizations can be simplified.

  Computation of Nitrile Vibrations as a Probe of the Structure and Dynamics of Condensed Matter Systems

summary:
  The nitrile functional group is an interesting candidate for use as a vibrational probe because it has a good infrared absorption coefficient, can be used to monitor hydrogen bonding environments and local electric fields, and it absorbs in an uncluttered region of the infrared spectrum. The nitrile stretch infrared absorption line shape was calculated for dilute acetonitrile in water and methanol using a novel optimized quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (OQM/MM) methodology.

The evidence explored in this dissertation suggests that, far from forgetting Anglo-Scandinavian England, post-Conquest authors and artists working in the twelfth and even thirteenth centuries continually reimagined this history in countless ways.

summary:
  For the hydrogen ion sensor, a linear calibration curve between the sensor output signal and the logarithmic concentration of hydrogen ion precursor was obtained in the concentration range from 10-5 M to 10-2 M. For the E.coli senor, the attachment of every 50 E.coli cells on the surface can be detected by EIS. The adsorption kinetics and the ordering of the adsorbed monolayer of 1-dodecanethiol were studied by electrochemical methods, including Cyclic Voltammetry (CV), Chronoamperometry, and EIS.

summary:
  This will hopefully allow us to further elucidate the kinetics of chemical reactions taking place at surfaces on the molecular level. Further, we have determined that, while chlorination and sulfur abstraction does occur over extended dose times, the principle reaction pathway is likely hydrogen abstraction followed by the recombination of surface radicals, leading to an extensively cross-linked surface.

  Whence the Other Speaks: A Transnational Approach to Home and Discourse in the Fictional Narratives of Maria Amparo Ruiz de Burton and Teresa de la Parra

summary:
  Californian Maria Amparo Ruiz de Burton (1832-1895), considered the first U.S. Latina writer, and Venezuelan author Teresa de la Parra (1889-1936) shattered cultural boundaries as public critics who exposed social oppression and exclusion from citizenship while situating their works in the domestic, private sphere of patriarchal hierarchy and gendered subjectivities. Stemming from these concepts, my thesis draws on the Foucauldian rendition of discourse as a medium through which relations of power produce speaking subjects and the realities of which they speak.

  Homer's Winged Words and Humanist Latinity: The Task of Translating Homer in the Italian Renaissance

summary:
  In addition to translation practice, humanists also began to develop increasingly more sophisticated ways of thinking about the task of the translator and thus did much to advance the field of translation theory. These translations can be divided into three phases: Literal (The Feather) (1362-1440s), Oratorical (The Wing) (1438-1460s), and Verse translation (The Flight) (1440s-1500).

  Diplomacy, Proselytization, and Criticism in the Western Encounter: Japanese Religious Groups in the World's Parliament of Religions

summary:
  Using speeches presented by Japanese delegates to the 1893 World's Parliament of Religions, this paper investigates how non-Western religious organizations were capable of responding to the Western encounter. For religious groups who did not have a means of legitimacy within the Western Christian academic environment—such as a mastery of Western discursive techniques or affiliation with Christianity—their efforts were focused on establishing the legitimacy of their religious organization.

Biological representations, as found in both the literary and scientific texts of the nineteenth century, exacerbated epistemological problems in such a way that it became necessary for nineteenth-century intellectuals' whether explicitly concerned with epistemology or not' to begin formulating practical epistemologies and philosophies of scientific representation.

summary:
  This dissertation explores the tensions between two ideological facets of the British empire—voluntarism and imperial supremacy—that emerged after the Seven Years' War as British officials attempted to come to terms with the territorial expansion and the increased diversity of their empire. At the same time, the empire pursued a policy of imperial supremacy in North America: a deliberate attempt to exclude foreign competitors from the continent to ensure the security of the provinces.

Through ceremony, the basileus and his basileia begin to reflect heavenly rather than historical taxis, and Constantine VII imagines the possibility of directing his empire towards the fulfillment of its transcendent destiny.

Altered levels of dietary calcium did not change tumor progression in the LPB-Tag mouse model, refuting many epidemiological studies, and providing the groundwork for the use of a high calcium rescue diet in later studies of VDRKO mice.

  Child Sexual Abuse and Use of Restraint and Seclusion: The Interactive Contributions of Early Environmental Factors and Child Characteristics

summary:
  Results revealed that child temperament, specifically effortful control, and prenatal exposure to alcohol, tobacco, and/or illicit drugs were both significant moderating influences on the relation of child sexual abuse history to restraint and seclusion. This master's thesis further examined the relation between child sexual abuse history and subsequent restraint and seclusion incidents, and additionally evaluated the influence of three potential moderators on this primary relationship (namely, prenatal exposure to alcohol, tobacco, and/or illicit drugs, child temperament, and executive functioning).

  Human integration into cyber-physical systems, such as the smart grid, smart transportation systems, and crowdsensing, while possibly contributing to the efficiency and sustainability of the system, introduces the possibility of externalities due to the actions of various participants who act strategically to further their own interest. In order to ensure desired system performance in spite of such strategic decision making, the system operator may need to design appropriate incentives for the users.

To that end, this work proposes a distributed network data collection and analysis system, eXpsicor, that pro-actively gathers the missing characteristics (local context) for the purpose of enterprise network management.

  Shearing Oscillatory Interstitial Fluid Flows affect Solute Transport and Osteogenesis in Cortical Bone

summary:
  The objective of this research was to: 1) propose a theoretical model for enhanced mass transport in cortical bone due to shearing oscillatory fluid flow dependent on molecular size, strain magnitude, and frequency; 2) demonstrate experimentally that oscillating fluid flows affect the mass transport of particles in sheep cortical bone; 3) prove that increased nutrient levels influence bone cell osteogenesis and metabolism in-vitro; 4) develop calcium phosphate nano-carriers for nutrients and drugs deliverable through the new mechanism. In addition, in-vitro experiments showed that bone cell osteogenesis was affected by core-shell and mesoporous calcium phosphate nano-carriers.

This study analyzes the structural transformations of the Mexican economy after the period of structural reforms to highlight the internal and external adjustments that took place between 1993 and 2003, and their effects on regional income distribution.

  Precision Measurements and Development of a Spectrometer to Determine Atomic Masses of High Impact for the Astrophysical r-Process

summary:
  Understanding the formation of one of these r-process hallmarks, the rare-earth abundance peak, could shed light on the astrophysical sites because this peak is uniquely sensitive to underlying nuclear properties, particularly to nuclear binding energies which have so far been largely derived from theoretical mass models. Finally, a new experimental facility in development at Argonne National Laboratory will allow for Penning trap mass spectrometry on a swath of N=126 isotopes previously inaccessible, and of critical importance for understanding the r-process.

These impacts are often disproportionally suffered by marginalized populations, and even in regions where air pollution has decreased with time, the same groups experiencing higher exposures a few decades ago are still overexposed today.

The second chapter, Continuities between Peircean Realism and Critical Realism: On Causation, Ontology, and Truth, argues that Peirce's realism about causation anticipated contemporary neo-Aristotelian approaches to causation, of which critical realism is a major representative, and highlights additional points of continuity between Peirce's thought and critical realism with respect to ontology and truth.

summary:
  This dissertation is comprised of three substantive sections, covering how the trans community constructs and justifies a definition of gender and how this definition both conflicts and aligns with definitions proposed by anti-trans groups, how Twitter's affordances for both personal expression and collective organization are utilized to foster within-community solidarity and how structural tensions within these affordances also work to undermine it, and the role that pervasive anti-trans opposition plays on influencing both the structural and emotional composition of the online trans community. As being trans involves contesting the gender previously assigned to the individual—with the body providing the primary basis for this initial assignment—and as social networking services provide an interactional environment where the body can be curated or concealed entirely, these services provide a fruitful case study into how the construction and enactment of gender manifests itself outside the context of the body.

summary:
  Therefore, if, as Gutiérrez himself argues, macro-level, structural justice depends upon micro-level, interior healing, then it follows that being vulnerable in primary personal relationships is essential for liberation theology in practice. This dissertation focuses on an aspect of Gutiérrez's turn to historical realities as important for theology that has been largely overlooked or downplayed by commentators: his insistence that personal transformation, i.e., the conversion of an individual's heart and mind, is a requisite for the transformation of societal meta-structures; that healing of persons poor and rich on the micro-level goes hand-in-hand with healing on the macro-level.

With photoluminescence and absorption spectroscopy measurements, the optical band gap of InN was found to be ~ 0.67 eV. To study the conduction band offset between InN and GaN, n-n isotype InN/GaN heterojunction diodes were grown and fabricated.

  The study is undertaken through a close reading of the Summa Theologiae according to which Aquinas's doctrine of theological hope is related to his doctrines of the divine ordinatio, human beatitude, providence, predestination, the Trinitarian missions, Christ, grace, sin, the theological virtues, the natural desire for happiness, human free choice, and the passions. The theological virtue of hope is a person's holy self love and desire for eternal beatitude, as well as her trust in God's merciful and omnipotent love, and her voluntary reception of his grace.

Scholars have pointed out previously that sexualities that fall under the multisexual spectrum and transgender identities fundamentally unsettle the assumptions made about gender sexuality that allow people to be neatly sorted into categories.

Moreover, the tendency of P. aeruginosa to form biofilms and its ability to utilize multiple mechanisms of motility make P. aeruginosa biofilms hundreds of times more resistant to antibiotics than the corresponding planktonic cells.

  By assessing the evidence from a critical historical perspective and with the aid of the principles of comparative liturgy, the picture of early Christian initiatory practice appears less clear than prior assumptions have stated it to be, yet does undoubtedly demonstrate the great deal of diversity present among early Christian communities in their ecclesial structures, theologies, and liturgical practices. Following a critical analysis of the New Testament accounts of initiatory handlaying, the evidence of this rite in patristic writings and liturgical sources is evaluated chronologically and regionally, thus providing a clear and straightforward means to speak of the commonalities and differences concerning this initiatory practice over time and from one place to another.

  Molecular Simulation Studies of Heterogeneous Bubble Nucleation: Effects of Surface Chemistry and Topology

summary:
  Weak surface interactions created a region of tension near the surface and stronger surface interactions created a region of high pressure. Increasing the strength of surface-fluid interactions induced more ordering in the fluid near the solid surface causing nucleation to occur at the solid surface for weak interactions and above the surface for stronger interactions.

summary:
  However, influence of phytoplankton carbon on methanogenesis and subsequent CH4 emissions from lakes has hardly been studied, and the only evidence of the influence of eutrophication on CH4 emissions is derived from weak correlations between lake trophic status and CH4 emission (Huttunen et al., 2003; Juutinen et al., 2003; Bastviken et al., 2004; Sepulveda-Jauregui et al., 2014). Since eutrophic lakes have the potential to absorb greater quantities of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2; a greenhouse gas), eutrophic lakes might be a benefit in terms of carbon burial and mitigating climate warming (Finlay et al., 2009; Lazzarino et al., 2009; Balmer and Downing 2011).

  Intimate Geographies: Romance and the Rhetoric of Female Desire in Contemporary Historical Fiction by Caribbean American Women Writers

summary:
  I analyze the depiction of female desire in three contemporary English-language novels by US authors with origins in the hispano- and francophone Caribbean: Haitian American Edwidge Danticat's The Farming of Bones (1998), Dominican American Julia Alvarez's In the Name of Salom (2000), and Cuban American Ana Men ndez's Loving Che (2003). In this dissertation I argue that by focusing on different forms of female desire contemporary Caribbean American women writers reinvent the literary genres of the romance and the historical novel and, in doing so, extend notions of what constitutes US-American literature and history.

The argument starts by showing of the Gorgias that it has more to say about justice than is sometimes thought, even as it preserves the central ethical content of so distinctively Socratic a work as the Apology.

  Violent Protest in Weak Democracies: Conflict Prevention Agencies and Civil Society Organizations in Peru

summary:
  Employing interviews, an original database of protests from 2008 to 2018, and archival data from local newspapers and reports in Arequipa, Puno, Lambayeque, and Cajamarca, I show that when robust local CPAs and a non-competitive ecology of CSOs are in place, the likeliness of violent protest will reduce. From a relational approach, my dissertation proposes a theory of violent protests that focuses on state accommodation capacity and on how the interaction of this capacity, through conflict prevention agencies, and civil society organizations generate higher or fewer chances to use violent repertoires.

  The Opening of the Political: Grounding Political Action in Hans Urs Von Balthasar's Theodramatic Christology Through an Engagement with the Christology of Jon Sobrino

summary:
  Through an engagement with the work of Jon Sobrino, Balthasar's account of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus and the Christian life today is reconfigured in two ways: in his aesthetics by focusing our gaze on the particularity of Jesus Christ and his merciful love of the poor; in his theodramatics by attending to the role of historical oppression within our relation to God and one another and to the place of the preferential option within a theodramatics attentive to the suffering of the poor and vulnerable. The third chapter responds more directly to the second and third questions as it develops Balthasar's account of history, human action, and the Kingdom of God.

I argue, however, that this emphasis on women's attitudes and income in affecting division of domestic labor leads to an overlook on the possibility that men's housework is only affected by their own or other men's attitudes and resources.

  The Provenance of John Calvin's Emphasis on the Role of the Holy Spirit Regarding the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper

summary:
  Such pneumatological emphasis does not appear in Calvin's first doctrinal exposition on the sacrament, that is, in his 1536 Institutio, but emerges soon after: first, in 1536 in the midst of the Lausanne Disputation, when he speaks of the Spirit as the bond between believers and the ascended Christ; then, shortly after, in his first catechism for Geneva; and then again, more robustly, with patristic and biblical reference, in the 1539 revision of his Institutio. In his doctrine of the Lord's Supper, John Calvin emphasizes that Christ truly nourishes the souls of believers with his body and blood.

summary:
  Recent scholarship on early Christianity has witnessed a great deal of interest in the identity of that movement, particularly with respect to the diverse forms of Christianity and their relationships to Judaism. One conclusion many scholars involved in studying these questions have reached is that there was an early period in the history of the Jesus movement in which it would be anachronistic to call it Christianity, which then leads to the problem of what to call this movement that would become Christianity.

My study traces the main features of these models and shows how Arendt's interest in and understanding of constitutional law and participatory politics lead her to reject both abstract legalism and all-too-concrete nationalism.

Differentiation from hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) to committed blood lineages is orchestrated by a network of transcription factors and cytokines that promote lineage specific gene expression while simultaneously repressing genes associated with alternative lineages.

  Effect of Platinum Oxidation and Reduction on Single Electron Transistors Fabricated by Atomic Layer Deposition

summary:
  Furthermore, comparison of devices at low temperatures (~4 K) showed that annealed devices displayed much closer to the ideal behavior (i.e., constant differential conductance) outside of the Coulomb blockade region and that untreated devices showed nonlinear behavior outside of the Coulomb blockade region (i.e., an increase in differential conductance with source-drain voltage bias). To test this theory, devices were exposed to forming gas at room temperature, which also reduces platinum oxide, and a decrease in resistance was observed, as expected.

  It is the author's intent that the work presented in this dissertation aids the field of Civil Engineering through detailed model validation and analysis of storm surge processes for Hurricanes Ike (2008, Texas) and Sandy (2012, New Yorkew Jersey).Additionally, the integration of hydrologic processes into the ADCIRC coastal circulation model allowing for a more accurate depiction of flooding in the coastal environment during a tropical cyclone is presented. Either by innovation or invention, it is the duty of both the modeler and the Civil Engineer toutilize the most accurate model and tools available in order to provide the best understanding of storm surge and other catastrophic natural processes and how best to protect and prepare in the case of these catastrophes.

Second, Vatican II's neglect of race as a discrete social concern fueled intra-Catholic conflict over the Church's response to discrimination in local communities.

In response to this question I argue that the tradition and practice of intentional hospitality toward the vulnerable other found within the larger Christian tradition is a practice that contains rich resources which may help empower communities that seek to welcome the vulnerable other in the context of anthropogenic climate change.

summary:
  We say that such a bundle admits a string structure, and a choice of string structure is given by particular elements in $H3(P;)$. This provides an analogue to the idea of a spin structure, where the topological group $String(n)$ is, up to homotopy, the unique 3-connected cover of $Spin(n)$ $(ngeq 5)$. Choosing a Riemannian metric on the base $M$ and a connection on $P$ determines a 1-parameter family of metrics on $P$. We prove that in a scaling limit known as the adiabatic limit, the harmonic representative of a string structure is equal to the Chern–Simons 3-form on $P$ minus a 3-form on $M$, denoted $Hin Omega3(M)$. This 3-form $H$ is closely related to the Chern–Simons form, and can be thought of as a reduction of the Chern–Simons form on $P$ to a form on $M$. The exterior derivative of $H$ is the $phalf$-form; the integral of $H$ on any 3-cycle is equal, modulo $$, to the integral of the Chern–Simons 3-form pulled back via a global section on the same 3-cycle.

My dissertation offers a reassessment of the linguistic situation of the Italian humanist Leon Battista Alberti (1404-1472), addressing specifically Alberti's bilingualism and the unique role that his switching between Latin and Italian, even within the same work, played in his program of self-fashioning and repatriation from exile.

summary:
  Moreover, our analysis of solid state systems based on perovskite (CsPbBr3) quantum dot superlattices provides a theoretical framework able to explain recent observations of superradiant emission. In search of a common mechanism to cooperativity and its robustness, we have compared the Cooper pair model of superconductivity and single-excitation superradiance, showing many similarities between the two: in particular, superradiant systems present an imaginary gap in the complex plane (that is, a segregation between the lifetimes of the system eigenstates) that, similarly to the superconducting gap, makes these systems robust to static disorder.

summary:
  Now if F is the form of every x, then for every x, the properties x bears as a functional part of y are also posterior to F. A fortiori, the powers of y that are upwardly determined by the properties of xs are posterior to F. Therefore, SH is compatible with the upward determination of y's causal powers. Doing so frees them to concede that for a substance y composed of the xs, the causal powers of the xs upwardly determine y's causal powers.

Neglected is Dante's presence in the earlier, 1860 edition of Leaves of Grass, which followed his initial, 1859 reading of the Inferno.

  We demonstrate that coupling large scale dynamics with turbulence-resolving and diagnostic simulations is a promising tool for atmospheric problems in complex scenarios. The benefit of coupling microscale models with large scale dynamics is to improve the characterization of the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) in complex and realistic scenarios where canonical representations of the ABL are not valid, for instance when unsteadiness, advection, baroclinicity, subsidence and complex terrain phenomena are not negligible.

  In Chapter 1, I use the Apology to sketch an outline of Socratic philosophy, and argue that Socrates' so-called human wisdom—what is therein portrayed as something at the center of the sort of examined life Socrates evangelizes throughout the dialogues—is a complex form of self-knowledge. In Chapter 2, I explore how Socrates' method induces this self-knowledge in others—specifically, I argue that his portrait of it in the first half of the Charmides, wherein Socrates compares himself to a therapist or doctor of the whole soul, indicates that Socrates conceives of his practice as having the power to generate in his interlocutors positive progress with respect to self-knowledge.

  Theoretical Deliberation as Intentional Belief Formation: An Essay on the Voluntarist Grounds of Epistemic Responsibility

summary:
  Secondly, however, I argue that locating such control in the doxastic case is far from straightforward: we do not have direct voluntary control over our belief formation, and the kinds of indirect voluntary control we most obviously have is unsuited to the task of grounding epistemic responsibility. In giving an account of these processes, then, we explain the possibility of epistemic responsibility by accounting for its grounds, and greatly clarify a number of issues regarding the role of the will in cognition and its evaluation.

summary:
  This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of using the Mother Child Neglect Scale, a measure of neglect potential, to predict subsequent perpetration of neglect by evaluating associations between scores on this self-reported measure and child self-reported neglect at two subsequent time points, to determine whether maternal self-reported neglect potential is associated with child internalizing and externalizing symptoms, and to determine whether child self-reported neglect mediates associations between maternal neglect potential and child internalizing and externalizing symptoms. There was a significant direct effect of maternal neglect potential on child neglect at age 14.

  We achieve like results in an array of other settings including 3D axisymmetric ideal fluids, symplectic Euler equations, Euler-alpha equations, and one dimensional integrable systems including the mu-CH and Hunter-Saxton equations. Most notably, we consider the group of volume-preserving diffeomorphisms equipped with a weak L^2 metric, whose geodesics correspond to Lagrangian solutions to the Euler equations.

  Mistaking Conservatives for Racists and Racists for Conservatives: Threat and the Intertwining of Racial Resentment and Ideology

summary:
  I demonstrate that while political ideology, particularly conservatism, powerfully influences racial attitudes, the liberal-conservative distinctions in racial resentment evaporate under a perceived racial threat, making liberals who perceive such threats indistinguishable from conservatives. I argue that the anxiety produced by the threat of racially egalitarian changes in the status quo conditions the relationship between conservatism and racial resentment, ultimately increasing opposition to racial policies.

summary:
  In addition to replacing low-order algorithms, many fundamental aspects of traditional surge modeling techniques must be reconsidered in order to fully realize the potential performance improvements of high-order methods for real-world problems. Additionally, the computational meshes and parameter sets that describe a given model domain must incorporate high-order representations of the underlying data in order to maintain consistency with the accuracy of the numerical method.

We give efficient algorithms for a single-source K-link shortest path problem on an interval graph and for an optimal color covering problem for n points on a line, where each point is assigned one of m colors.

Yet as the nineteenth century progressed and western literacy spread throughout the Pacific, such fictional portraits of Pacific Islanders did not reflect the complex, increasingly hybrid culture that became the reality of a globalized—and in many cases, forcefully colonized—Oceania, whose inhabitants survived despite all the forces poised for their annihilation.

  Although N2O emissions from streams have received more attention than CH4, I found that CH4 emissions induced by anthropogenic activity had a global warming potential 12 times that of N2O. Methane emission rates were highest in streams affected by agriculture and urbanization, likely because the accumulation of fine sediments in these streams promoted sediment anoxia and methane production. My dissertation research demonstrates that headwater streams are sources of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere, but that N2O emissions have been overestimated while CH4 emissions have been overlooked.

  More importantly, the three-dimensional framework of triptycene is able to induce supramolecular interactions and strong π-π stacking, preventing particle aggregation and promoting filler-polymer adhesion, which makes triptycene-based polyimides promising candidates for MMMs fabrication. Ideally, composite membranes combine the superior separation properties of inorganic fillers and the mechanical integrity and good processability of polymer matrices, synergistically leading to better performance.

  Edge Termination Design of Vertical GaN High Voltage P-N Diodes and Current Leakage Study of GaN P-N Diodes

summary:
  Gallium nitride (GaN) is a wide bandgap semiconductor with huge potential in power electronics devices due to its large direct bandgap (3.4eV), high critical electrical field, high electron saturation velocity, large electron mobility, and high thermal conductivity compared with other common materials like Si, GaAs and SiC. Based on this promise, vertical GaN diodes have been demonstrated that are promising for high-voltage power applications. Therefore, in order to improve the performance of high power GaN devices, it is essential to study the role of edge effects in these devices.

  China, however, complicates efforts to apply standard sociological definitions of religion in two main ways: the Chinese government's official conceptualization of religion has dominated Chinese religious discourse over the past century, and the exclusive, belief-centric, and congregational conceptualizations of religion developed in the Western, Judeo-Christian context are of little use in understanding the largely local, ritual-based practices common in places like China. In short, such complications illustrate the fact that we will never understand and measure 'religion' in China well until we theorize 'religion' well, and understanding religion in China requires adequate measures that are appropriate for the case.
