On the collective model of glasses at low temperature
… not explained by the tunnelling two level (TLS) model is reviewed. Recent non-equilibrium dielectric experiments on the capacitance of glasses are analyzed within the framework of the TLS theory. The prediction of this model are shown to be incompatible with the experimental data. The importance …

A study of the photon decay modes of the giant dipole resonance in even-A neodymium isotopes
… were compared to predictions of both the Dynamic Collective Model and the Interacting Boson Model. A 100% duty-factor, 24 MeV electron beam provided the tagged, bremsstrahlung photons. The scattered photons were detected in two large NaI(TI) crystals, whose energy resolution was typically f'V 3%. …

Gender and Resource Allocation Decisions in Farm Households: Evidence from a South African Land Reform Programme
… program, I estimate and test the unitary and collective models of intrahousehold resource allocation. By estimating the households’ demand function’s responses to the size of land grant transfers going to resident men and women, I find evidence rejecting the income pooling hypothesis of the …

Helium-3 inelastic scattering from several light nuclei
… computer code JULIE was accomplished, and the collective model deformation parameters have been extracted. The experimental results are discussed in terms of the collective model of nuclear excitation.

Direct pion-nucleus interactions in the resonance region
… made of the inelastic excitation of low-lying collective states of 40Ca, 48Ca by pions. The resulting one-parameter fits yield deformation lengths which are compared with simple collective model predictions. The total cross-sections for neutral pion scattering from 40Ca, 48Ca in the resonance …

Direct Computations of Spatially Resolved Viscoelastic Moduli of Biomolecular Condensates
… we develop a modified graph Laplacian-based collective model to characterize viscoelastic heterogeneity within condensates based on results of lattice-based Metropolis Monte Carlo (MMC) simulations. By integrating random graph models and simulations of A1-LCD, a type of intrinsically …

Three Essays on Family Economics and Early Childhood Development
… consists of three essays studying the effects of collective household decisions on early childhood development from both empirical and theoretical perspectives. The first chapter outlines the dissertation, by presenting the motivations, methods, conclusions, and policy implications for the entire …

Improving and Analyzing Model Merging Methods for Adaptation
… work, we explore the limitations of combining models by averaging intermediate features, referred to as model merging, and propose a new direction for achieving collective model intelligence through what we call compatible specialization. Current methods for model merging, such as parameter and …

Lawyering from Below: Activist Legal Support in Contemporary Canada and the US
… tactic of jail solidarity and an emerging legal collective model are highlighted as the key features of the global justice organizing era (1999-2005) while in the second age of austerity era (2008-2018), I discuss evolving approaches to law collective work in various protest movements and …

Empirical studies of bio-cultural commitments and economic choices

Essays on Development Economics: Families, Child Human Capital, and Migration
… resources across households and test different models of family behavior. I extend previous work by explicitly looking at families with different degrees of spatial dispersion among their members, including families with members spread across international borders. I adapt the collective model …

A dynamic model for the evolution of protein structure
… changes over time by studying a dynamic model of protein evolution. Using standard phylogenetic methods and a census of protein domain structure in hundreds of genomes, we have reconstructed phylogenetic trees of protein domains, defined using the Structural Classification of Proteins …
