A theory of state behavior under threat the tragedy of domestic realism
… of domestic realism to explain and predict state behavior under threat. The formulation of the theory relies on a dual track approach. The first is eclectic and deductive; this track utilizes concepts from diverse fields, especially from International Relations theory, to build the theory. …

Modification of Excited State Behavior with Ligand Substitution in Ru(II),Rh(III) Bimetallic Supramolecular Complexes
… properties of the molecule. The excited state lifetime of the complex with a dcmbpy terminal ligand was 93 ns while the excited state lifetimes of the complexes with a bpy or Me₂bpy terminal ligand were 44 ns and 47 ns, respectively. Ligand substitution was shown to influence the …

An abacus of behavior : a theory of third party intervention
… third party intervention is in fact a study of state behavior. A study of state behavior is meant to examine the roles and influences of this type of international actor. This thesis is centered on a very precise type of state, the third party intervener. It examines the postures and perceptions …

Nuclear Proliferation Theory and Practice: the Case of Iran
… national, and individual levels of influence on state behavior. It illustrates this with a three-lensed theoretical analysis of Iranian security policy from the perspectives of the neo-realist, strategic culture, and nuclear "mythmaking” models of analysis. In so doing, it finds that that the …

Physics and Simulation of High-Speed Heterostructure Devices
In this thesis the transient and steady-state behavior of various GaAs/Al$\sb{\rm x}$Ga$\sb{\rm 1-x}$As heterostructure devices which have shown promise for both high-speed digital and microwave applications is examined. In particular, the following devices are studied in detail: high electron …

Input/output analysis: graphical and algorithmic methods
… monotone, and may be used to solve the steady-state behavior of such circuits. Consideration of circuits with arbitrary series/parallel interconnections leads to a new splitting algorithm, the nested forward-backward algorithm, which inverts operators composed of sums and inverses. Finally, …

Continuum: an architecture for user evolvable collaborative virtual environments
… a world model and defines how to combine object state, behavior code, and resource data into this single shared structure. The system frees distributed users from the constraints of monolithic centralized virtual world architectures and instead allows individual users to extend and evolve the …

Epistemic Communities and Proliferation: The Implications of Nuclear Knowledge
… levels of influence on policy outcomes and state behavior. Neoliberal institutional theory emphasizes the role of sub-national groups play in forming policy preferences; one under-researched group is epistemic communities. Existing literature tends to consider only the nonproliferation …

Trade in Shadow ASEAN-China Trade Relations amidst South China Sea Conflicts
… opportunity costs of escalation and by embedding state behavior within institutional frameworks that reward cooperation. Yet, despite long theoretical debate, the empirical stance of conflict-trade relations remains contested. The relations between the Association of Southeast Asian Nations …

Does Selectorate Size Matter?: How the selectorate size of authoritarian regimes impacts trade levels
States are currently experiencing an increase in autocratization and support for authoritarian leaders and policies. This change in domestic politics can impact states' interactions in the international system. One of the changes that may be observed in state behavior is the willingness of states …

A coupled, two-phase fluid-sediment material model and mixture theory implemented using the material point method
… wet grains under steady shear, (ii) the critical state behavior of granular materials under shear, (iii) the viscous thickening of fluid due to the presence of suspended grains, and (iv) the Darcy-like drag interaction for both dense and dilute mixtures. The full constitutive model is combined …

Cybersecurity and Protection Strategies for Inverter-Based Resource Integration
… cyberattacks. Moreover, the unconventional fault behavior of IBRs can cause traditional protection schemes to misoperate. These difficulties are compounded by the black-box nature of IBR controllers, which makes it challenging to develop comprehensive cybersecurity and protection strategies. In …

The Presidency Effect
… Together, these factors can motivate the member state holding the Presidency to wield every tool at its disposal and even, where necessary, unilaterally sacrifice its own national interest, to achieve agreement in the Council, in effect biasing the incumbent in favor of further European …

Indoor Concentration Simulation of Radon Isotopes and Their Decay Products
… deposition, and resuspension. Steady-state and time-dependent equations, derived by Thompson, were used to evaluate the relative effects of these variables on the potential alpha energy concentraiton (PAEC). Steady-state equations showed that at higher ventilation rates PAEC reduction …

Post-transition human rights performance in Peru, Uruguay, and South Korea
… norm internalization for transitioning states. And yet, the literature could not account for the variations to state behavior after norms were implemented via domestic transitional justice policies of truth-seeking, prosecutions, and reparations. Why have states where great efforts were …

The rheological properties of aqueous polyacrylamide solutions
… of the study includes the measurements of steady-state behavior, transient shear stress and yield stress response, thixotropic, creep recovery, and dynamic responses for each concentration. The findings resulted in several conclusions regarding the rheological properties of polyacrylamide …

Electrical noise in the spin-glass AuFe
… AuFe samples showed significantly different behavior than mesoscopic CuMn samples, due to the large anisotropy introduced by the gold. AuFe samples showed persistent two-state behavior which indicates a smaller number of states being available to the system than in CuMn which never had stable …
