New states challenged: education, peacebuilding and statebuilding in post-conflict Kosovo and East Timor
… education system remains a key challenge for new states and states emerging from armed conflict. Qualitative and quantitative scholarly literature exploring the causal relationship between education and civil war leaves no doubt about the salience of education systems in conflict-affected …

Housing transformation in the new states of Germany : the confluence of distinct housing systems in a formerly divided country
Thesis (M.C.P.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Urban Studies and Planning, 1994.

The ordinances of 1784 and 1787
… lands in the West, division of those lands into new states, and eventual admission of the new states into the Union. An attempt is made to give the background of the ordinances, to treat them and their legislative histories in some detail, and to indicate why the earlier and more democratic one …

New gating states of Cystic Fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator discovered via studying pathogenic mutations, pharmacological reagents and ATP analogs.
… common lethal genetic diseases in the United States. By studying the structural/functional properties of CFTR, we are able to understand the molecular nature of this protein as well as to provide the potential target for drug designs. In my PhD study, I applied patch-clamp technique to explore …

Flexibility of knowledge as a function of practice and explicit instruction
… tuned strategies. With practice, transfer to a new task was achieved through an extrapolation procedure. Experiment 2 demonstrated far superior task and transfer performance in participants trained with a combination of experiential practice and model-based knowledge. Transfer to new states was …

Legitimacy, state-building, and civilian targeting in separatist civil wars
… Since the end of the Cold War, the number of new states in the international system has increased consistently. Many of these have risen from the ashes of states that have collapsed under the weight of their own domestic political and economic institutions as well as widespread popular support …

Spin-orbit coupled Bose gases
… and controllable way, as well as to generate new states of matter that have not been found in the real world but the existence of which does not contradict the fundamental laws of physics. Ultracold atoms form a perfect system to realize idealized models and study physical mechanisms that …

The Legal and Political Foundations of Kosovo's Independence
… study examines the phenomenon of the creation of new states in the world, looking at historical events such as decolonization and the dissolution of communist countries in Eastern Europe. In addition, I have included facts describing the continuous acts of genocide perpetrated by Serbs over the …

Pressure Tuned Magnetism in d- and f-Electron Materials
… a fertile hunting ground for the discovery of new states of matter, for example; the marginal Fermi Liquid and non Fermi Liquid states as well high T$_C$ cuprate and magnetically mediated superconductivity. In this thesis I present work on three materials in which it may be possible to tune the …

Improvements on handling design errors in communication protocols.
… in communication protocols include deadlock states, unspecified receptions, channel overflow, non-executable transitions, etc. Such design errors can be removed via protocol synthesis, or be detected through reachability analysis. The former may introduce more states and transitions than …

The Effectiveness of Social Plan Sharing in Online Planning in POMDP-type domains
… while synchronizing agent knowledge when new states in the world are encountered. Results show that total planning time can be significantly reduced compared to individual agent planning time by synchronizing agent knowledge with group knowledge on an on-demand basis.

Non-Consensual Secession and The Law of Nations: The Contested Legal Scholarship on the Law of Self-Determination, Recognition and Statehood in International Law
… law, and the creation of the majority of states in contemporary international law, particularly in the UN era, was the result of the application of the right to self-determination. As a consequence of the recognition of the right to self-determination, no state can be created in violation …

A Network Approach to Atomic Spectra
… numbers. For thorium II we demonstrate that the states of additional communities detected form one or two clusters in the energy domain. These clusters correlate with the dominant configurations of the states. We test the ability to use the network to predict quantum mechanical properties of …

International law and state failure - Somalia and Yugoslavia
… present study considers the treatment of failed States in international law. State failure represents a relatively recent phenomenon, which presents novel problems for the international community to deal with. For international law, the principles and experience of dealing with the creation, …

AI/ML tools for early decision making in water system operations: managing non-stationarity water quality
… droughts, and floods shift water systems to new 'states' that negatively impact water quality and complicate water treatment decision-making and performance. Many water system managers do not account for these variations systemically and instead respond reactively as watersheds shift from …

Probing and preparing novel states of quantum degenerate rubidium atoms in optical lattices
… Towards this goal, as important as engineering new states of matter is the need to develop new techniques to probe these systems. I first describe our work on realizing Bragg scattering of infrared light from ultracold atoms in optical lattices. This is a detection technique which probes the …

Quantum Tuning and Emergent Phases in Charge and Spin Ordered Materials
… over the past decades has been the emergence of new states of matter from strongly correlated electron systems. A few limited examples would be the emergence of unconventional superconductivity in the high-T$_c$ superconductors and heavy-fermion systems, the appearance of the skyrmion magnetic …

Artificial Neural Networks for Programming Quantum Annealers
… controls and thereby maps the annealer's initial states into new states in the Hilbert space. The neural network's parameters are optimized in a way that maximizes the distance of states corresponding to inputs from different classes and minimizes the distance between quantum states corresponding …

Probing New Physics Through Third Generation Leptons
… is a study of beyond standard model physics or new physics. The third generation charged lepton -the τ -is an excellent probe of new physics (NP) because of it being the heaviest lepton. As the heaviest lepton, it has the largest coupling ( among the leptons) to the Higgs boson in the Standard …

Contemporary democratic separatist movements: The politics of new state creation by referendum
… analysis of the conditions under which new states have been, and may be, created through exclusively democratic means. Existing literature explains the majority of such cases: those that occurred through the processes of decolonization, or through the break up of post-communist …
