Distinguishing exotic states from scattering states in lattice QCD
… potentially interesting new exotic states in QCD from conventional scattering states using lattice QCD, and addresses the specific case of the search for localized resonances in a system of five quarks. We employ a complete basis of local interpolating operators, as well as a number …

Relations and States
… actualization in relation to the relations of states. It is divided into two parts. In the first part, it examines past interpretations of the concept of relations and provides a different understanding of the concept. It argues that relations should not be perceived solely as that which occurs …

Caretaking Trans-states
What does transness look or feel like inside painting or choreography or performance? What does it look or feel like inside other threshold practices like keening, sex, grief work, or drag? What are the somatic, social and artistic sequences that allow us to trans? This project is an exploration …

Safeguarding a liberal system of states : Reinterpreting states' freedoms in increasing interdependence
… system centred on relative sovereignty, in which states' freedom to exercise their sovereignty (positive freedom) is inherently limited by the need to protect other states' domestic affairs against interference (negative freedom). Ideally, when facing global problems, states co-operate with each …

States of discretion: Black migrating bodies and citizenship in the United States
… institutions of higher education in the United States now function as de facto extension offices of the Department of Homeland Security. Historically situating the changes wrought by the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 in relationship to the Civil Rights Movement, U.S. Cold War policy, …

Stabilization of autoionizing states
… the stabilization process of doubly excited states in Barium was examined for the case when a laser field was used to induce stimulated emission of the excited core electron. Stabilization is referred to all the atoms that form a singly excited neutral state after being in a doubly excited …

United States Military Preparedness
… now jeopardize the preparedness of the United States armed forces for combat. This thesis examines the nature, criteria, and inadequacies of America's military preparedness. In examining military preparedness, the thesis has found that military preparedness consists of five pillars: force …

Sharing Vulcan’s Secrets: Why States Disclose Details of Advanced Military Technology to Other States
Why do technologically advanced states share cutting-edge military technology – the capability to produce weapons – with other states? Technology is a key component of national power, so sharing technology means making other states more powerful. I identify technology sharing as a unique form of …

Minimum Wage States During Recession
… recession. In particular, I examine whether states with minimum wages higher than the federal minimum wage fared better or worse during the recession that began December 2007. Since minimum wages raise the price of labor above market price, firms subject to this additional cost might …

Altered states: feminist utopian literature
… between feminist utopianism and altered states of consciousness in fiction from 1970 onwards. The thesis develops further both Lyman Tower Sargent’s definition of utopianism as “social dreaming” and Tom Moylan’s understanding of critical utopia. It also develops and expands Lucy …

Soliton interactions and bound states
… is concerned with soliton interactions and bound states. We consider a on-topological soliton in (1 + 1) dimensions and topological models in (2 + 1) and (3 + 1) dimensions. In chapter 2 we consider Qballs, which are non-topological solitons, in (1 + 1) dimensions. Here we note the semi-integrable …

Techniques for engineering quantum states
In this thesis I theoretically study quantum states of ultracold atoms. The majority of the Chapters focus on engineering specific quantum states of single atoms with high fidelity in experimentally realistic systems. In the sixth Chapter, I investigate the stability and dynamics of new …

Intentional forgetting in depressed states

High-pressure states of bismuth
Bismuth is among the most studied of all elements, but its behaviour under pressure exhibits myriad unexpected puzzles even after many decades of research. Bismuth narrowly avoids being an insulator: a Peierls-type distortion almost completely gaps the electronic energy bands, producing a …

Classical Commitments to Quantum States
We define the notion of a classical commitment to quantum state scheme, which allows a quantum prover to compute a classical commitment to a quantum state and later open each qubit of the state in either the standard or Hadamard basis, while limiting communication with the verifier to a classical …

States Of Inequality: Government Partisanship, Public Policies, And Income Disparity In The American States, 1970-2005
… to explain why income inequality varies in the states over time. My partisan political-economy theory for state inequality builds on political explanations for national inequality; but it takes a step further to recognize and incorporate variation in state governments, which do most of the …
