Anderson Localization For The Unitary Almost Mathieu Operator, Fan Yang

Faculty Publications

We prove Anderson localization for all Diophantine frequencies and all non-resonant phases for a model that arises from a 2D quantum walk model subject to an external magnetic field, also known as the unitary almost Mathieu operator. Our work provides the first localization results for all Diophantine frequencies in quasi-periodic quantum walk and CMV matrix setting. We also obtain sharp asymptotics of the localized eigenfunctions.

Japan’S “Big Lie": The Negation Of Oral Testimony Of Sexual Violence, Robert O'Mochain, Yuki Ueno

Dignity: A Journal of Analysis of Exploitation and Violence

In recent years, powerful actors in Japan’s political elite have consistently denied the oral testimony of so-called “comfort women.” The denial of this and related historical crimes is made in the service of a claim we denote here as the “big lie.” This is the erroneous assertion that the Asia-Pacific War was a straightforward war of liberation by the Japanese Imperial Army, inspired by a blameless Emperor and carried out by morally exemplary military forces. This denial of historical realities, especially those related to “comfort women,” has constituted a contributory factor for a pattern of denial regarding all historical crimes. …

Prognostic Factors On Preoperative Mri For Patient-Reported Outcomes After Posterior Medial Meniscus Root Repair, Sergio E Flores, Rawee Manatrakul, Christopher Anigwe, Chotigar Ngarmsrikam, Brian T Feeley, C Benjamin Ma, Thomas M Link, Drew A Lansdown

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

Background: Repair of posterior medial meniscus root (PMMR) tears has demonstrated favorable outcomes and may prevent rapid progression of knee osteoarthritis; however, there is a paucity of data regarding prognostic factors affecting postoperative outcomes.

Purpose/hypothesis: The purpose of this study was to identify factors on preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) that predict postoperative outcomes after PMMR repair. It was hypothesized that patients with increasing levels of degenerative changes as evaluated through semiquantitative preoperative MRI scans would have worse postoperative patient-reported outcome (PRO) scores.

Study design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3.

Methods: Patients who underwent PMMR repair between 2012 and …

The Small Business Prepack: How Subchapter V Paves The Way For Bankruptcy’S Fastest Cases, Christopher D. Hampson, Jeffrey A. Katz

UF Law Faculty Publications

America has long styled itself as a place where entrepreneurs can dream big and—if things go well—make it big too. But when small businesses fail, does the American bankruptcy system provide a real opportunity to preserve value and try again? For decades, bankruptcy professionals, judges, and lawmakers have tried various approaches to small business bankruptcies, none of which seemed to work particularly well. But in 2019, Congress passed the Small Business Reorganization Act (the “SBRA”), one of the most significant amendments to the Bankruptcy Code in a generation. As practitioners, scholars, and judges work out the contours of the rules, …

Examining The Theory Of Planned Behavior As An Explanation For Why Some Creatives Learn To Use Generative Ai Tools, Navrose Bajwa

Theses, Dissertations and Culminating Projects

Artificial Intelligence (AI) can create art which earlier was restricted to humans. This involvement of AI in creating art poses risks of automation for the arts and design industry. One way with which artists can respond to this threat is to engage in proactive coping behavior and learn to use generative AI (GAI) for their work. Using an expanded version of Theory of Planned Behavior, this study looked at the predictors of graphic designer’s intentions to learn how to use GAI for art and design work. It was hypothesized that attitudes, social norms, perceived behavioral control and automation awareness would …

Assessing The Invasive Clinging Jellyfish: Where Are All The Polyps?, Angela Chemidlin

Theses, Dissertations and Culminating Projects

Researching invasive species is vital to the health of ecosystems. Any invasion can place an ecosystem at risk of deterioration through increased competition with native species, food web changes, and community dynamic alterations. Clinging jellyfish (Gonionemus vertens) have recently emerged as a nuisance invader in New Jersey. They pose an additional threat to humans because they possess both paralysis venoms, which cause muscle seizures and intense pain, and neurotoxins that can cause neuropsychiatric symptoms. Jellyfish possess a complex life history involving sexually reproducing medusae and a cryptic asexual polyp stage. Medusae blooms occur during May and June, but locating their …

Assessment Of Predation By Common Spider Crab Libinia Emarginata On An Intermittent Food Resource Mytilus Edulis, Noah T. S. Macchirole

Theses, Dissertations and Culminating Projects

Libinia emarginata, commonly known as the portly or common spider crab, is predominantly herbivorous and native to the east coast of the United States. In Barnegat Bay, New Jersey, L. emarginata is a prominent member in eelgrass communities, but is widespread among numerous benthic habitats. Eelgrass beds in Barnegat Bay are also used as settlement sites for blue mussels (Mytilus edulis), which show episodic recruitment events in the spring. These events are ephemeral and variable in timing, location, and quantity. Unlike more extensively studied crabs, such as Callinectes sapidus and Carcinus maenas, there is limited research on the interactions that …

Evolving Teacher Pedagogy Through Implementation Of Mathematical Modeling And Participation In Responsively Designed Professional Development, Geena Taite

Theses, Dissertations and Culminating Projects

Modeling with mathematics (MP4) is a mathematical practice standard that can be used to engage students in mathematical content standards as well as additional mathematical practice standards. Research has shown the benefits of mathematical modeling (e.g., Aguirre et al., 2019; Cirillo et al., 2016a), but also the challenges teachers can face implementing modeling (e.g., Asempapa & Sturgill, 2019; Manouchehri, 2017). This dissertation aimed to explore how mathematical modeling professional development was responsively designed and facilitated to support teachers’ pedagogical goals (RQ1). This dissertation also aimed to explore how my role as the designer and facilitator of professional development evolved (RQ2) …

Factors Influencing The Adoption Of Sustainable Agricultural Practices In Rural Regions Of Developing Countries: A Review, R. R. Bhujel, H. G. Joshi

Open Access archive

Farmers in developing countries show low adoption rates of sustainable agricultural practices. Therefore, this review examines influential factors contributing to sustainable agricultural practices adoption among rural farmers in developing countries in Asia, Latin America, Europe, and Africa, thereby highlighting challenges and constraints. The research indicated that behavioural factors influence the participation in and adoption of sustainable agricultural practices. Farmers are often unaware of environmental issues such as climate change and need support through knowledge, technology, and training. The behavioural insights of farmers need to be incorporated for better policymaking. Therefore, urgent attention is needed to address the social, agronomic, structural, …

Sodium Iodide Dopant Mediated Enhancements In Energy Storage Characteristics Of Polysaccharide Polymer Electrolytes, Supriya K. Shetty, Ismayil, Pradeep Nayak, Y. N. Sudhakar

Open Access archive

Sodium iodide dopant influencing the properties of polysaccharide polymer sodium carboxymethyl cellulose is analyzed in this work by FTIR, XRD, DSC, TGA, SEM, UTM, and electrical. Solvation of I⁻ and Na⁺ ions by the −OH group has disrupted the intra– and intermolecular hydrogen bonds between the polymers escorting to a decrease in crystallinity and creating a pathway for ion diffusion. The formation of transient crosslink and the physical environment created by the polymer-ion interaction have affected the rigidity of the polymer chains as well as the thermal stability of the NaCMC−NaI system. I⁻ ion influences the ESW …
