Evidence For Preferential Flux Flow At The Grain Boundaries Of Superconducting Rf-quality Niobium.
Sung, Z.-H., Lee, P. J., Gurevich, A., Larbalestier, D. C.
Show moreThe question of whether grain boundaries (GBs) in niobium can be responsible for lowered operating field (B-RF) or quality factor (Q(0)) in superconducting radio frequency (SRF) cavities is still controversial. Here, we show by direct DC transport across planar GBs isolated from a slice of very large-grain SRF-quality Nb that vortices can preferentially flow along the grain boundary when the external magnetic field lies in the GB plane. However, increasing the misalignment between the GB plane and the external magnetic field vector markedly reduces preferential flux flow along the GB. Importantly, we find that preferential GB flux flow is more prominent for a buffered chemical polished than for an electropolished bi-crystal. The voltage-current characteristics of GBs are similar to those seen in low angle grain boundaries of high temperature superconductors where there is clear evidence of suppression of the superconducting order parameter at the GB. While local weakening of superconductivity at GBs in cuprates and pnictides is intrinsic, deterioration of current transparency of GBs in Nb appears to be extrinsic, since the polishing method clearly affect the local GB degradation. The dependence of preferential GB flux flow on important cavity preparation and experimental variables, particularly the final chemical treatment and the angle between the magnetic field and the GB plane, suggests two more reasons why real cavity performance can be so variable.
Magnetic Ground States And Magnetodielectric Effect In Rcr(bo3)(2) (r = Y And Ho).
Sinclair, R., Zhou, H. D., Lee, M., Choi, S., Li, G., Hong, T., Calder, S.
Show moreThe layered perovskites RCr(BO3)(2) (R = Y and Ho) with magnetic triangular lattices were studied by performing ac/dc susceptibility, specific heat, elastic and inelastic neutron scattering, and dielectric constant measurements. The results show (i) both samples' Cr3+ spins order in a canted antiferromagnetic structure with TN around 8-9 K, while the Ho3+ ions do not order down to T = 1.5 K in HoCr(BO3)(2); (ii) when a critical magnetic field HC around 2-3 T is applied below TN, the Cr3+ spins in the Y compound and both the Cr3+ and Ho3+ spins in the Ho compound order in a ferromagnetic state; (iii) both samples exhibit dielectric constant anomalies around the transition temperature and critical field, but the Ho compound displays a much stronger magnetodielectric response. We speculate that this is due to the magnetostriction, which depends on both the Cr3+ and the Ho3+ ions' ordering in the Ho compound. Moreover, by using linear spin-wave theory to simulate the inelastic neutron scattering data, we estimated the Y compound's intralayer and interlayer exchange strengths as ferromagnetic J(1) = -0.12 meV and antiferromagnetic J(2) = 0.014 meV, respectively. The competition between different kinds of superexchange interactions results in the ferromagnetic intralayer interaction.
The Relatedness Between the Origin of Japanese and Korean Ethnicity.
Show moreAlthough there is an extensive literature discussing the origins of the Japanese we still lack strong hypotheses or theories which are widely agreed upon. While many argue that most of cultural elements in ancient Japan were influenced by Chinese culture, in this paper the cultural history of Korea is seen as pivotal in the development of Japanese traditions. Major sources for these inferences include linguistic, historical, archaeological and bioanthropological studies. This strategy attempts to interweave large-scale phenomenon and small-scale events from the Korean peninsula, based on historic and archaeological investigations of Korean, and how these features influenced the people of the Japanese archipelago. While there are still unanswered questions it seems clear from this overview that there were extensive and intensive contacts between Japan and Korea and these relations must be taken into consideration when looking at the development of the Japanese peoples. It is likely that these connections extend into the pre- and proto-historic periods. It also seems likely that there were large and small migrations from Korea to Japan even into the end of Kofun period (A.D. 7th). This thesis argues that the origins of both Japanese and Korean are very closely linked and deserves a more objective interpretive effort than has been previously formulated.

Ethnic Violence in the Former Soviet Union.
Show moreEthnic violence broke out in the Soviet Union during the second half of Mikhail Gorbachev's time as Soviet leader. In general, Soviet leaders were taken by surprise by the upsurge in nationalism in the USSR. They came to believe that Communism had supplanted nationalism in the Soviet Union, but they were proven wrong. It is the thesis of this project that territoriality is the underlying factor behind the ethnic conflicts that broke out in the last years of the USSR and the first years of the post-Soviet era. It is a psychological program in the human mind that defines what are the "proper" boundaries of a polity. Since territoriality is a constant, there exist six identifiable facilitating factors that condition how territoriality leads to ethnic violence. These facilitating conditions are the size of an ethnicity (majority/minority status), economic resource differences, the availability of information, the presence of an ethnic diaspora nearby, the location of a polity, and the role of the elites. To address the issues surrounding the territorial basis of ethnic conflict, an exploratory, heuristic, most-similar systems comparative case study approach is employed. This project's temporal domain is 1988 to the present, and the polities selected for examination are Nagorno-Karabakh, Moldova, and Chechnya. In addition, two non-events are chosen for study: Tatarstan and Crimea. In the non-events, ethnic violence did not break out on a sustained and prolonged scale. Territoriality was present in all of the examined cases except for the second Chechen war (1999-), which mutated from an ethnic conflict into a religious struggle on the Chechen rebel side. The facilitating factors are present in some form in the five cases.
Playing It Safe: Audience Costs, Military Capabilities, and Alliance Reliability during War.
Show moreWhat kinds of states make the best allies? This dissertation studies the determinants of defensive alliance reliability during war. I argue that strong democratic states constitute reliable allies. For these states, the miltiary costs of honoring an alliance agreement are sufficiently low, while potential electoral penalities are potentially large. For these reasons, strong democracies defend their allies during war more frequently. Support for this theory is found from a number of sources. First, I present the first individual-level experimental data supporting audience costs in the realm of military alliances. Second, I present observational data showing that strong democratic countries consistently defend their alliance partners during war.
Low-energy Excitations In Quantum Spin Liquids Identified By Optical Spectroscopy.
Pustogow, A., Saito, Y., Zhukova, E., Gorshunov, B., Kato, R., Lee, T.-H., Fratini, S., Dobrosavljevic, V., Dressel, M.
Show moreThe electrodynamic response of organic spin liquids with highly frustrated triangular lattices has been measured in a wide energy range. While the overall optical spectra of these Mott insulators are governed by transitions between the Hubbard bands, distinct in-gap excitations can be identified at low temperatures and frequencies, which we attribute to the quantum-spin-liquid state. For the strongly correlated ss'-EtMe3Sb[Pd(dmit)(2)](2), we discover enhanced conductivity below 175 cm(-1), comparable to the energy of the magnetic coupling J approximate to 250 K. For omega -> 0, these low-frequency excitations vanish faster than the charge-carrier response subject to Mott-Hubbard correlations, resulting in a dome-shaped band peaked at 100 cm(-1). Possible relations to spinons, magnons, and disorder are discussed.
Magnetism And Multiferroicity Of An Isosceles Triangular Lattice Antiferromagnet Sr3ninb2o9.
Lee, M., Choi, E. S., Ma, J., Sinclair, R., Dela Cruz, C. R., Zhou, H. D.
Show moreVarious experimental measurements were performed to complete the phase diagram of a weakly distorted triangular lattice system, Sr3NiNb2O9 with Ni2+, spin-1 magnetic ions. This compound possesses an isosceles triangular lattice with two shorter bonds and one longer bond. It shows a two-step magnetic phase transition at T-N1 similar to 5.1 K and T-N2 similar to 5.5 K at zero magnetic field, characteristic of an easy-axis anisotropy. In the magnetization curves, a series of magnetic phase transitions was observed such as an up-up-down phase at mu H-0(c1) similar to 10.5 T with 1/3 of the saturation magnetization (M-sat) and an oblique phase at mu H-0(c2) similar to 16 T with root 3/3 M-sat. Intriguingly, the magnetic phase transition below T-N2 is in tandem with the ferroelectricity, which demonstrates multiferroic behaviors. Moreover, the multiferroic phase persists in all magnetically ordered phases regardless of the spin structure. The comparison between the phase diagrams of Sr3NiNb2O9 and its sister compound with an equilateral triangular lattice antiferromagnet Ba3NiNb2O9 (Hwang et al 2012 Phys. Rev. Lett. 109 257205), illustrates how a small imbalance among exchange interactions change the magnetic ground states of the TLAFs.
Significant enhancement of compositional and superconducting homogeneity in Ti rather than Ta-doped Nb3Sn.
Tarantini, C., Sung, Z.-H., Lee, P. J., Ghosh, A. K., Larbalestier, D. C.
Show moreNb3Sn wire is now very close to its final optimization, but despite its classical nature, a detailed understanding of the role of Ta and Ti doping in the A15 is not fully developed. Long thought to be essentially equivalent in their influence on H-c2, they were interchangeably applied. Here, we show that Ti produces significantly more homogeneous chemical and superconducting properties. Despite Ta-doped samples having a slightly higher T-c onset in zero-field, they always have a wider T-c-distribution. In particular, whereas the Ta-doped A15 has a T-c-distribution extending from 18 down to 5-6 K (the lowest expected T-c for the binary A15 phase), the Ti-doped samples have no A15 phase with T-c below similar to 12 K. The much narrower T-c distribution in the Ti-doped samples has a positive effect on their in-field T-c-distribution too, leading to an extrapolated mu H-0(c2)(0) 2 T larger than the Ta-doped wire. Ti-doping also appears to be very homogeneous even when the Sn content is reduced in order to inhibit breakdown of the diffusion barriers in very high J(c) conductors. The enhanced homogeneity of the Ti-doped samples appears to result from its assistance of rapid diffusion of Sn into the filaments and by its incorporation into the A15 phase interchangeably with Sn on the Sn sites of the A15 phase.

Domain Engineering Of The Metastable Domains In The 4f-uniaxial-ferromagnet Ceru2ga2b.
Show moreIn search of novel, improved materials for magnetic data storage and spintronic devices, compounds that allow a tailoring of magnetic domain shapes and sizes are essential. Good candidates are materials with intrinsic anisotropies or competing interactions, as they are prone to host various domain phases that can be easily and precisely selected by external tuning parameters such as temperature and magnetic field. Here, we utilize vector magnetic fields to visualize directly the magnetic anisotropy in the uniaxial ferromagnet CeRu2Ga2B. We demonstrate a feasible control both globally and locally of domain shapes and sizes by the external field as well as a smooth transition from single stripe to bubble domains, which opens the door to future applications based on magnetic domain tailoring.
Awareness of Parental Infidelity on College Students' Reported Commitment in Romantic Relationships.
Show moreThe focus of this study was to examine the influence of parental infidelity on college students' level of commitment in romantic relationships. Parental infidelity was assessed on three levels, young adults who were: (a) not aware of parental infidelity, (b) suspect parental infidelity, and (c) who are confident of parental infidelity. Maternal infidelity was compared with paternal infidelity. The influence of maternal/paternal infidelity on the level of trust in romantic relationships, dysfunctional relationship beliefs, and commitment in romantic relationships was also assessed. The sample consisted of 404 undergraduate college students who were surveyed at a large southeastern university. The respondents were asked to complete a survey consisting of demographic questions pertaining to the measurement of each variable. The instruments used were the Dyadic Trust Scale to assess level of interpersonal trust, Relationship Belief Inventory to assess level of dysfunctional romantic relationship beliefs, and the Commitment Inventory to assess the level of constraint and dedication commitment in a romantic relationship. Hypotheses were tested stating there would be no differences observed for levels of trust, dysfunctional beliefs, and commitment among the three levels of infidelity awareness. Four research questions regarding the relationship among the variables in this study for each of the three levels of infidelity awareness were also utilized. Hypotheses were addressed using a series of one-way analysis of variances. Research questions were addressed using multivariate analysis of variance, chi-square tests of independence, and hierarchical multiple regression. Results indicated there were no significant associations between parental infidelity and level of commitment in college students' relationships. However, this study revealed several gender differences such as a significant relationship among length of current relationship, length of longest relationship, and level of commitment for the women in this study.
Liability of Foreignness in Legitimacy Evaluation: The Legitimacy Challenge Facing Foreign Firms.
Show moreA firm's legitimacy becomes a critical issue during an organizational crisis. Blending social identity theory (SIT) and institutional theory, I explain why legitimacy is more difficult to maintain for foreign firms than domestic firms. Specifically, I argue that foreign firms are likely to suffer a greater loss in legitimacy from an organizational crisis because of their legitimacy characteristics and foreign identity. In building the discussion about foreign firms' legitimacy characteristics, I argue that foreign firms face severe restrictions in establishing cognitive legitimacy due to constituents' identity-based bias toward foreign firms. As a result, domestic firms and foreign firms develop differing properties of legitimacy. When an organizational crisis strikes a foreign firm, this ex ante legitimacy property and the magnified foreign identity reinforce each other to result in more damage to legitimacy for foreign firms. Moreover, an organizational crisis that strikes a foreign firm is likely to have a stronger negative spillover effect on other foreign firms within the same industry. The proposition and hypotheses in this study were empirically tested using the recall data of 10 automakers in the US automobile industry between 2006 and 2013. The legitimacy of a firm was measured using two constructs from prior studies: tenor of media and volume of media (Pollock & Rindova, 2003). A total of 15,019 newspaper articles were analyzed using Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC) software to estimate tenor of media, and additional 469 news articles were used to estimate volume of media. Lastly, this study employs GEE to test the ten hypotheses. The results suggest that foreign firms are indeed at a higher risk of losing legitimacy not only from their own crises but also other foreign firms' crises. More specifically, an organizational crisis results in a harsher legitimacy setback for a foreign firm than a domestic firm. Furthermore, when a foreign firm faces a crisis, its negative effects seem to spread only to other foreign firms, whereas domestic firms may even benefit from the foreign firm's crisis. There was no negative spillover affecting domestic firms either from a foreign firm's recall or domestic firm's recall. Therefore, the empirical results point to the existence of the identity-based liability of foreignness.
Student Perceptions of Problems' Structuredness, Complexity, Situatedness, and Information Richenss and Their Effects on Problem-Solving Performance.
Show moreThe purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of problem characteristics in terms of perceived structuredness, complexity, situatedness, and information richness on mathematical problem-solving performance. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used to analyze the effects of problem characteristics obtained from subjects' ratings of their perception on their problem-solving performance. Three research questions were examined: 1) How are mathematical word problems perceived by problem solvers in terms of their' structuredness, complexity, situatedness, and information richness; 2) How do the perceived structuredness, complexity, situatedness, and information richness of problems relate to mathematical problem-solving performance; and 3) How do the perceived structuredness, complexity, situatedness, and information richness of problems relate to each other. The descriptive data showed that traditional word problems in school were perceived as somewhat well-structured and information-rich, but also somewhat decontextualized and simple. The SEM analysis showed the following results. First, learners' perception of structuredness and situatedness had a positive effect on successful problem solving performance. That is, the more structured problems are perceived by students, the more likely they are to solve the problems without difficulties. In addition, the attempt to actively engage problem solvers in social and cultural environments to complete successful problem solving is led by situatedness. Second, perception of information richness had no direct effect on problem solving-performance. Too much information may confuse problem solvers in choosing useful information required for problem solving, as well as cause problem solvers to fail to solve the problem finally. Third, learners' perception of complexity had a negative effect on successful problem solving performance. This result showed that the more complex the problem is, the less successful problem solvers are to solve the problem. Fourth, the structuredness attribute had a positive effect on perceptions of complexity. Many researchers have argued that the structuredness attribute affects the complexity attribute negatively. However, this result did not support their assertions. It might be the case that structuredness overlaps with complexity so that the two attributes may not be clearly distinguished to the solvers. Fifth, the information richness attribute affected the perceptions of situatedness negatively. This result showed that too much information might hinder problem solvers in remembering a specific situation required for problem solving, as well as cause problem solvers to link what they have in their mind with the useful information nested in the situation. Sixth, the structuredness attribute had a positive effect on perceptions of situatedness. This result can be interpreted that a high level of structuredness enables problem solvers to identify situation with which they are familiar. Finally, the information richness attribute had a negative effect on perceptions of complexity. This result showed that the more rich the information presented in problems, the less the perceived complexity of the problems. This study of problem characteristics enables instructional designers to develop new problems that engage learners in the real world situation. In addition, this study can support instructional designers to select a problem that has already been developed effectively.
Magnetic Properties Of The Triangular Lattice Magnets A(4)b ' B2o12 (a=ba, Sr, La; B '=co, Ni, Mn; B=w, Re).
Rawl, R., Lee, M., Choi, E. S., Li, G., Chen, K. W., Baumbach, R., dela Cruz, C. R., Ma, J., Zhou, H. D.
Show moreThe geometrically frustrated two-dimensional triangular lattice magnets A(4)B'B2O12 (A=Ba, Sr, La; B'=Co, Ni, Mn; B=W, Re) have been studied by x-ray diffraction, ac and dc susceptibilities, powder neutron diffraction, and specific-heat measurements. The results reveal the following: (i) The samples containing Co2+ (effective spin-1/2) and Ni2+ (spin-1) ions with small spin numbers exhibit ferromagnetic (FM) behavior and ordering, respectively, while the sample containing Mn2+ (spin-5/2) ions with a large spin number exhibits antiferromagnetic (AFM) ordering. We ascribe these spin-number-manipulated ground states to the competition between the AFM B'-O-O-B' and FM B'-O-B-O-B' superexchange interactions. (ii) The chemical pressure introduced into the Co-containing samples through the replacement of different-size ions on the A site finely tunes the FM behavior temperature of the system. This effect is not simply governed by the lattice parameters and requires more precise structural measurements to elucidate.
Anomalous Thermal Conductivity And Magnetic Torque Response In The Honeycomb Magnet Alpha-rucl3.
Show moreWe report on the unusual behavior of the in-plane thermal conductivity. and torque tau response in the Kitaev-Heisenberg material alpha-RuCl3. kappa shows a striking enhancement with linear growth beyond H = 7 T, where magnetic order disappears, while t for both of the in-plane symmetry directions shows an anomaly at the same field. The temperature and field dependence of kappa are far more complex than conventional phonon and magnon contributions, and require us to invoke the presence of unconventional spin excitations whose properties are characteristic of a field-induced spin-liquid phase related to the enigmatic physics of the Kitaev model in an applied magnetic field.
Structural And Magnetic Properties Of Two Branches Of The Tripod-kagome-lattice Family A(2)r(3)sb(3)o(14) (a = Mg, Zn; R = Pr, Nd, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Yb).
Dun, Z. L., Trinh, J., Lee, M., Choi, E. S., Li, K., Hu, Y. F., Wang, Y. X., Blanc, N., Ramirez, A. P., Zhou, H. D.
Show moreWe present a systematic study of the structural and magnetic properties of two branches of the rare-earth tripod-kagome-lattice (TKL) family A(2)R(3)Sb(3)O(14) (A= Mg, Zn; R= Pr, Nd, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Yb; here, we use abbreviation A-R, as in MgPr for Mg2Pr3Sb3O14), which complements our previously reported work on MgDy, MgGd, and MgEr [Z. L. Dun et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 116, 157201 (2016)]. The present susceptibility (chi(dc), chi(ac)) and specific-heat measurements reveal various magnetic ground states, including the nonmagnetic singlet state for MgPr, ZnPr; long-range orderings (LROs) for MgGd, ZnGd, MgNd, ZnNd, and MgYb; a long-range magnetic charge ordered state for MgDy, ZnDy, and potentially for MgHo; possible spin-glass states for ZnEr, ZnHo; the absence of spin ordering down to 80 mK for MgEr, MgTb, ZnTb, and ZnYb compounds. The ground states observed here bear both similarities as well as striking differences from the states found in the parent pyrochlore systems. In particular, while the TKLs display a greater tendency towards LRO, the lack of LRO in MgHo, MgTb, and ZnTb can be viewed from the standpoint of a balance among spin-spin interactions, anisotropies, and non-Kramers nature of single-ion state. While substituting Zn for Mg changes the chemical pressure, and subtly modifies the interaction energies for compounds with larger R ions, this substitution introduces structural disorder and modifies the ground states for compounds with smaller R ions (Ho, Er, Yb).
Multistage symmetry breaking in the breathing pyrochlore lattice Li(Ga,In)Cr4O8.
Lee, S., Do, S.-H., Lee, W.-J., Choi, Y. S., Lee, M., Choi, E. S., Reyes, A. P., Kuhns, P. L., Ozarowski, A., Choi, K.-Y.
Show moreWe present magnetic susceptibility, dielectric constant, high-frequency electron spin resonance, Li-7 nuclear magnetic resonance, and zero-field muon spin relaxation measurements of LiACr(4)O(8) (A = Ga, In), towards realizing a breathing pyrochlore lattice. Unlike the uniform pyrochlore ZnCr2O4 lattice, both the In and the Ga compounds feature two-stage symmetry breaking: a magnetostructural phase transition with subsequent antiferromagnetic ordering. We find a disparate symmetry breaking process between the In and the Ga compounds, having different degrees of bond alternation. Our data reveal that the Ga compound with moderate bond alternation shows the concomitant structural and magnetic transition at T-S = 15.2 K, followed by the magnetic ordering at T-m = 12.9 K. In contrast, the In compound with strong bond alternation undergoes a thermal crossover at T* approximate to 20.1 K from a tetramer singlet to a dimer singlet or a correlated paramagnet with a separate weak magnetostructural transition at T-S = 17.6 K and the second antiferromagnetic ordering at T-m = 13.7 K. This suggests that the magnetic phases and correlations of the breathing pyrochlore lattice can be determined from the competition between bond alternation and spin-lattice coupling, thus stabilizing long-range magnetic ordering against a nonmagnetic singlet.

Show moreMeasurements of the fractional momentum loss (S-loss = delta p(T) / p(T)) of high-transverse-momentum-identified hadrons in heavy-ion collisions are presented. Using pi(0) in Au + Au and Cu + Cu collisions at root s(NN) = 62.4 and 200 GeV measured by the PHENIX experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider and and charged hadrons in Pb + Pb collisions measured by the ALICE experiment at the Large Hadron Collider, we studied the scaling properties of S-loss as a function of a number of variables: the number of participants, N-part, the number of quark participants, N-qp, the charged-particle density, dN(ch)/d(eta), and the Bjorken energy density times the equilibration time, epsilon(Bj)tau(0). We find that the p(T), where S-loss has its maximum, varies both with centrality and collision energy. Above the maximum, S-loss tends to follow a power-law function with all four scaling variables. The data at root s(NN) = 200 GeV and 2.76 TeV, for sufficiently high particle densities, have a common scaling of S-loss with dN(ch)/d(eta) and epsilon(Bj)tau(0), lending insight into the physics of parton energy loss.

Show moreWe present midrapidity measurements from the PHENIX experiment of large parity-violating single-spin asymmetries of high transverse momentum electrons and positrons from W-+/-/Z decays, produced in longitudinally polarized p + p collisions at center of mass energies of root s = 500 and 510 GeV. These asymmetries allow direct access to the antiquark polarized parton distribution functions due to the parity-violating nature of the W-boson coupling to quarks and antiquarks. The results presented are based on data collected in 2011, 2012, and 2013 with an integrated luminosity of 240 pb(-1), which exceeds previous PHENIX published results by a factor of more than 27. These high Q(2) data probe the parton structure of the proton at W mass scale and provide an important addition to our understanding of the antiquark parton helicity distribution functions at an intermediate Bjorken x value of roughly M-W / root s = 0.16.

Show moreWe present a detailed measurement of charged two-pion correlation functions in 0-30% centrality root= 200 GeV Au+Au collisions by the PHENIX experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. The data are well described by Bose-Einstein correlation functions stemming from Levy-stable source distributions. Using a fine transverse momentum binning, we extract the correlation strength parameter lambda, the Levy index of stability alpha, and the Levy length scale parameter R as a function of average transverse mass of the parr m(T). We find that the positively and the negatively charged pion pairs yield consistent results, and their correlation functions are represented, within uncertainties, by the same Levy-stable source functions. The lambda(m(T)) measurements indicate a decrease of the strength of the correlations at low m(T). The Levy length scale parameter R(m(T)) decreases with increasing m(T), following a hydrodynamically predicted type of scaling behavior. The values of the Levy index of stability a are found to be significantly lower than the Gaussian case of alpha = 2, but also significantly larger than the conjectured value that may characterize the critical point of a second-order quark-hadron phase transition.
Who Recognizes?: The Politics of Legitmizing Governments after Extra-Legal Change.
Show moreUnder international law when governments come to power through extra-legal means the governments of other states must decide whether to recognize the new government as a legitimate agent of the state, and we observe considerable variation over who recognizes the new governments, the circumstances under which recognition occurs, and even how long it takes to recognize new governments. This project studies the processes that drive recognition decisions. Despite attempts, mainly by legal scholars, to limit the discretion that third-party governments have in this regard, the institution of recognition has persisted over time. I argue that states use recognition as a political tool to weaken hostile governments and support amicable ones. In addition to these direct self-interested motivations I also posit that the nature of recognition, itself, shapes recognition decisions and encourages coordination among potential recognizers with regard to new governments. To support these suppositions I develop a theory that uses both international legal (IL) arguments regarding recognition and international relations (IR) concepts and speaks to both literatures. IR scholars, with few exceptions, have yet to study recognition in any detail, and to date there are no empirical studies of the recognition of governments. This project represents the first step in that regard, and I use an event history approach to empirically test how and when countries strategically recognize new governments. Consistent with my theoretical expectations countries do appear to use recognition to weaken their enemies, but do not seem to use recognition to bolster their friends. I also find support that countries coordinate their recognition decisions. Finally, I also conduct a case study of American foreign policy towards a series of coups in Haiti from 1986-1994. That case study provides further support for my theoretical expectations and provides a much fuller examination of the recognition process.
Consumption and Construction: Devotional Images and the Place of Empire in Postclassic Mexico, 1325-1521.
Show moreDevotional sculptures and their attendant ritual interactions allow for pointed critical engagement with the very nature of images, both formally and in the intersection of art and sacra. Within the visual systems employed by the city-states of Pre-Columbian central Mexico, sacred imagery was merely one of multiple mechanisms designed to pull the periphery to the center and to actively construct specific cultural narratives. To that end, this dissertation will explore the manner by which ixiptla, a type of central Mexican cult effigy, functioned to shape conceptions of space, place, and cultural identity in the Postclassic Period (c.900-1521 CE). By investigating their position within the visual milieu, I posit that, through their material agency, ixiptla were crucial in the formation of the aforementioned social systems in Pre-Columbian central Mexico. This dissertation further argues that sacred images are, as a class of representation, indices of collective memory through the mythic narratives inscribed upon the objects themselves and their usage. They in turn form the visual rhetoric that is illustrative, and formative, of the construction of space, place, and identity. This project will specifically address the manner in which these images defined the idea of place, primarily through their position, movement within, and integration with both the physical and cultural landscape. Furthermore, Pre-Columbian devotional objects served to reinforce existing cultural systems while simultaneously shaping the overarching aesthetic narrative. In the manner of a community presenting itself to itself, they both display the overarching cultural matrix as well as participate in its formation.

Show moreResource managers and policy makers have long recognized the importance of considering fisheries in the context of ecosystems; yet, movement towards widespread Ecosystem-based Fisheries Management (EBFM) has been slow. A conceptual reframing of fisheries management is occurring globally, which envisions fisheries as systems with interacting biophysical and human subsystems. This broader view, along with a process for decision making, can facilitate implementation of EBFM. A pathway to achieve these broadened objectives of EBFM in the United States is a Fishery Ecosystem Plan (FEP). The first generation of FEPs was conceived in the late 1990s as voluntary guidance documents that Regional Fishery Management Councils could adopt to develop and guide their ecosystem-based fisheries management decisions, but few of these FEPs took concrete steps to implement EBFM. Here, we emphasize the need for a new generation of FEPs that provide practical mechanisms for putting EBFM into practice in the United States. We argue that next-generation FEPs can balance environmental, economic, and social objectivesthe triple bottom lineto improve long-term planning for fishery systems.
Acute and timing effects of beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate (HMB) on indirect markers of skeletal muscle damage.
Show moreWhile chronic β-Hydroxy β-Methylbutyrate (HMB) supplementation (≥ 2 wk) lowers exercise induced muscle damage, its acute or timing effects have not been examined. The purpose of this study was to investigate the acute and timing effects of oral HMB supplementation on serum creatine kinase (CK), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), muscle soreness, and maximal voluntary contraction (MVC). Sixteen non-resistance trained men (22 ± 2 yrs) were assigned to HMB-Pre or HMB-Post groups. In a crossover design, all subjects performed 55 maximal eccentric knee extension/flexion contractions on 2 occasions on either the right or left leg. HMB-Pre (N = 8) randomly received 3 grams of either a placebo or HMB before and a placebo after exercise. HMB-Post (N = 8) received a placebo before and either 3 grams of HMB or a placebo after exercise. Muscle damage tests were recorded before, at 8, 24, 48, and 72 hrs post exercise. There was a reduction in MVC and an increase in soreness in the quadriceps and hamstrings following exercise (p < 0.001). Although HMB-Pre approached significance in attenuating soreness for the quadriceps (p = 0.07), there was no time x group effect. Serum indices of damage increased, peaking at 48 hrs for CK (773%) (p < 0.001) and 72 hrs for LDH (180%) (p < 0.001). While there were no time x group effects of HMB on CK and LDH, post hoc analysis revealed that only HMB-Pre showed no significant increase in LDH levels following exercise. Our findings suggest no clear acute or timing effects of HMB supplementation. However, consuming HMB before exercise appeared to prevent increases in LDH.
An Unusual Inverted Saline Microbial Mat Community in an Interdune Sabkha in the Rub' al Khali (the Empty Quarter), United Arab Emirates.
Show moreSalt flats (sabkha) are a recognized habitat for microbial life in desert environments and as analogs of habitats for possible life on Mars. Here we report on the physical setting and microbiology of interdune sabkhas among the large dunes in the Rub' al Khali (the Empty Quarter) in Liwa Oasis, United Arab Emirates. The salt flats, composed of gypsum and halite, are moistened by relatively fresh ground water. The result is a salinity gradient that is inverted compared to most salt flat communities with the hypersaline layer at the top and freshwater layers below. We describe and characterize a rich photosynthetically-based microbial ecosystem that is protected from the arid outside environment by a translucent salt crust. Gases collected from sediments under shallow ponds in the sabkha contain methane in concentrations as high as 3400 ppm. The salt crust could preserve biomarkers and other evidence for life in the salt after it dries out. Chloride-filled depressions have been identified on Mars and although surface flow of water is unlikely on Mars today, ground water is possible. Such a near surface system with modern groundwater flowing under ancient salt deposits could be present on Mars and could be accessed by surface rovers.
Magnetic Ground States of the Rare-Earth Tripod Kagome Lattice Mg2RE3Sb3O14 (RE = Gd,Dy,Er).

Show moreWe present the structural and magnetic properties of a new compound family, Mg2RE3Sb3O14 (RE = Gd, Dy, Er), with a hitherto unstudied frustrating lattice, the "tripod kagome" structure. Susceptibility (ac, dc) and specific heat exhibit features that are understood within a simple Luttinger-Tisza-type theory. For RE = Gd, we found long-ranged order (LRO) at 1.65 K, which is consistent with a 120 degrees structure, demonstrating the importance of diople interactions for this 2D Heisenberg system. For RE = Dy, LRO at 0.37 K is related to the "kagome spin ice" physics for a 2D system. This result shows that the tripod kagome structure accelerates the transition to LRO predicted for the related pyrochlore systems. For RE = Er, two transitions, at 80 mK and 2.1 K are observed, suggesting the importance of quantum fluctuations for this putative XY system.
Intercellular Coupling of the Cell Cycle and Circadian Clock in Adult Stem Cell Culture.
Show moreCircadian clock-gated cell division cycles are observed from cyanobacteria to mammals via intracellular molecular connections between these two oscillators. Here we demonstrate WNT-mediated intercellular coupling between the cell cycle and circadian clock in 3D murine intestinal organoids (enteroids). The circadian clock gates a population of cells with heterogeneous cell-cycle times that emerge as 12-hr synchronized cell division cycles. Remarkably, we observe reduced-amplitude oscillations of circadian rhythms in intestinal stem cells and progenitor cells, indicating an intercellular signal arising from differentiated cells governing circadian clock-dependent synchronized cell division cycles. Stochastic simulations and experimental validations reveal Paneth cell-secreted WNT as the key intercellular coupling component linking the circadian clock and cell cycle in enteroids.
Study to find the best extraction solvent for use with guava leaves (Psidium guajava L.) for high antioxidant efficacy.
Show moreThe effects of guava leaves extracted using solvents of water, ethanol, methanol, and different concentrations of hydroethanolic solvents on phenolic compounds and flavonoids, and antioxidant properties have been investigated. The antioxidant capability was assessed based on 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical and 2,2'-azinobis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) radical-scavenging abilities, reducing power, and nitric oxide-and nitrate-scavenging activities. The results demonstrated that the antioxidant ability of guava leaf extracts has a strong relationship with phenolic compound content rather than flavonoid content. Phenolic compound content of water extracted guava leaves was higher compared to pure ethanol and methanol extracts. However, phenolic compound content extracted using hydroethanolic solvent was higher than water, whereas 50% hydroethanolic was observed to be the most effective solvent showing high antioxidant ability.
Anti-Establishment Political Parties: Conception, Measurement, and Consequences.
Show moreThe incredible rise of so-called "anti-establishment" parties in Europe has left scholars scrambling to define and classify the movement. Much scholarly attention has been paid to radical right wing parties, and the sources of their electoral support. While important and intriguing, the current literature has yet to develop a cohesive definition of the anti-establishment, and has too heavily used terms such as "populist," "anti-establishment," and "radical right-wing" interchangeably. Further, extant research has based theories of these parties' electoral support largely with the radical right-wing in mind, potentially ignoring theories that could explain support for these parties from the left, right, and center of the political spectrum. Finally, current research has not substantially explored how these parties, traditionally excluded from policy-making, behave once they are seated in parliaments. This dissertation aims to remedy these three shortcomings. First, I develop a conceptual definition and measurement scheme that encapsulates both ideological positioning and anti-establishment sentiment. Then, I explore how political trust in influences electoral support for anti-establishment parties positioned at all areas of the classic left-right spectrum. Finally, I analyze their parliamentary behavior, assessing their level of activity and their preferred policy domains. My findings underscore the importance of conceiving anti-establishment parties as existing along a unique dimension, separate from ideology, whose electoral viability can be explained via a unified theory, and who behave uniquely in parliament.

Show moreDihadron and isolated direct photon-hadron angular correlations are measured in p + p collisions at root s = 510 GeV. Correlations of charged hadrons of 0.7 < p(T) < 10 GeV/c with pi(0) mesons of 4 < p(T) < 15 GeV/c or isolated direct photons of 7 < p(T) < 15 GeV/c are used to study nonperturbative effects generated by initial-state partonic transverse momentum and final-state transverse momentum from fragmentation. The nonperturbative behavior is characterized by measuring the out-of-plane transverse momentum component p(out) perpendicular to the axis of the trigger particle, which is the high-p(T) direct photon or pi(0). Nonperturbative evolution effects are extracted from Gaussian fits to the away-side inclusive-charged-hadron yields for different trigger-particle transverse momenta (p(T)(trig)). The Gaussian widths and root mean square of p(out) are reported as a function of the interaction hard scale p(T)(trig) to investigate possible transverse-momentum-dependent evolution differences between the pi(0)-h(+/-) and direct photon-h(+/-) correlations and factorization breaking effects. The widths are found to decrease with p(T)(trig) , which indicates that the Collins-Soper-Sterman soft factor is not driving the evolution with the hard scale in nearly back-to-back dihadron and direct photon-hadron production in p + p collisions. This behavior is in contrast to Drell-Yan and semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering measurements.

Show moreWe present measurements of two-particle angular correlations between high-transverse-momentum (2 < pT < 11 GeV/c) pi(0) observed at midrapidity (|eta| < 0.35) and particles produced either at forward (3.1 < eta < 3.9) or backward (-3.7 < eta < -3.1) rapidity in d + Au and p + p collisions at root s(NN) = 200 GeV. The azimuthal angle correlations for particle pairs with this large rapidity gap in the Au-going direction exhibit a characteristic structure that persists up to pT approximate to 6 GeV/c and which strongly depends on collision centrality, which is a similar characteristic to the hydrodynamical particle flow in A + A collisions. The structure is absent in the d-going direction as well as in p + p collisions, in the transverse-momentum range studied. The results indicate that the structure is shifted in the Au-going direction toward more central collisions, similar to the charged-particle pseudorapidity distributions.

Show moreWe present measurements of e(+)e-production at midrapidity in Au + Au collisions at root s(NN) = 200 GeV. The invariant yield is studied within the PHENIX detector acceptance over a wide range of mass (m(ee) < 5 GeV/c(2)) and pair transverse momentum (p(T) < 5 GeV/c) for minimum bias and for five centrality classes. The e(+)e(-) yield is compared to the expectations from known sources. In the low-mass region (m(ee) = 0.30-0.76 GeV/c(2)) there is an enhancement that increases with centrality and is distributed over the entire pair p(T) range measured. It is significantly smaller than previously reported by the PHENIX experiment and amounts to 2.3 +/- 0.4(stat) +/- 0.4(syst) +/- 0.2(model) or to 1.7 +/- 0.3(stat) +/- 0.3(syst) +/- 0.2(model) for minimum bias collisions when the open heavy-flavor contribution is calculated with PYTHIA or MC@NLO, respectively. The inclusive mass and p(T) distributions, as well as the centrality dependence, are well reproduced by model calculations where the enhancement mainly originates from the melting of the rho meson resonance as the system approaches chiral symmetry restoration. In the intermediate-mass region (m(ee) = 1.2-2.8 GeV/c(2)), the data hint at a significant contribution in addition to the yield from the semileptonic decays of heavy-flavor mesons.

Show morePHENIX measurements are presented for the cross section and double-helicity asymmetry (A(LL)) in inclusive pi(0) production at midrapidity from p + p collisions at root s = 510 GeV from data taken in 2012 and 2013 at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. The next-to-leading-order perturbative-quantum-chromodynamics theory calculation is in excellent agreement with the presented cross section results. The calculation utilized parton-to-pion fragmentation functions from the recent DSS14 global analysis, which prefer a smaller gluon-to-pion fragmentation function. The pi(0)A(LL) results follow an increasingly positive asymmetry trend with p(T) and root s with respect to the predictions and are in excellent agreement with the latest global analysis results. This analysis incorporated earlier results on pi(0) and jet A(LL) and suggested a positive contribution of gluon polarization to the spin of the proton Delta G for the gluon momentum fraction range x > 0.05. The data presented here extend to a currently unexplored region, down to x similar to 0.01, and thus provide additional constraints on the value of Delta G.

Show moreMeasurements of midrapidity charged-particle multiplicity distributions, dN(ch)/d eta, and midrapidity transverse-energy distributions, dE(T)/d eta, are presented for a variety of collision systems and energies. Included are distributions for Au + Au collisions at root s(NN) = 200, 130, 62.4, 39, 27, 19.6, 14.5, and 7.7 GeV, Cu + Cu collisions at root s(NN) = 200 and 62.4 GeV, Cu + Au collisions at root s(NN) = 200 GeV, U + U collisions at root s(NN) = 193 GeV, d + Au collisions at root s(NN) = 200 GeV, He-3 + Au collisions at root s(NN) = 200 GeV, and p + p collisions at root s(NN) = 200 GeV. Centrality-dependent distributions at midrapidity are presented in terms of the number of nucleon participants, N-part, and the number of constituent quark participants, N-qp. For all A + A collisions down to root s(NN) = 7.7 GeV, it is observed that the midrapidity data are better described by scaling with N-qp than scaling with N-part. Also presented are estimates of the Bjorken energy density, epsilon(BJ), and the ratio of dE(T)/d eta to dN(ch)/d eta, the latter of which is seen to be constant as a function of centrality for all systems.

Show moreThe PHENIX experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider has measured phi meson production and its nuclear modification in asymmetric Cu + Au heavy-ion collisions at root s(NN) = 200 GeV at both forward Cu-going direction (1.2 < y < 2.2) and backward Au-going direction (-2.2 < y < -1.2) rapidities. The measurements are performed via the dimuon decay channel and reported as a function of the number of participating nucleons, rapidity, and transverse momentum. In the most central events, 0%-20% centrality, the phi meson yield integrated over 1 < pT < 5 GeV/c prefers a smaller value, which means a larger nuclear modification, in the Cu-going direction compared to the Au-going direction. Additionally, the nuclear-modification factor in Cu + Au collisions averaged over all centrality is measured to be similar to the previous PHENIX result in d + Au collisions for these rapidities.

Show moreWe have measured the cross section and single-spin asymmetries from forward W-+/- -> mu(+/-)nu production in longitudinally polarized p + p collisions at root s = 510 GeV using the PHENIX detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. The cross sections are consistent with previous measurements at this collision energy, while the most forward and backward longitudinal single spin asymmetries provide new insights into the sea quark helicities in the proton. The charge of the W bosons provides a natural flavor separation of the participating partons.
