▼ There is a small but growing body of research addressing compositional process. The majority of this research is qualitative in nature. Due to the nature of the data collected as well as the means of its analysis, it is difficult to pursue this research at scale. What quantitative research does exist is limited in scope due to a lack of effective data collection tools. To address these concerns a custom piece of notation software, Thema, was created. Thema automatically tracks composers' actions within the software environment and stores the date in a MySQL database; the database is integrated into the program and plays an active role in its operations. Entities in the score, such as notes, measures, and dynamics, are tracked across time using permanent identifiers. Thema also records the state of the notation environment as the composer works including viewable area, selections in the score, playback, and continuous MIDI keyboard input. Additionally, Thema records a screen capture for every action performed in the program. This document describes the architecture and implementation of Thema as well as its usage in a study of ten graduate-level composers. To examine the study's data, a custom suite of visualizations, Omaggio, was created. Using these visualizations, the development of musical structure over time is investigated in detail; a case study of local problem-solving behavior in the context of improvisational and score data is also presented. This work has implications for compositional process research, composition pedagogy and musicology, and illustrates the power of combining automatic data collection with a rich data model. This new method of data collection is non-intrusive, anonymous, and practical for regular use by composers. The analytic tools presented herein integrate keyboard and score data and could be helpful to composers during the process of composition. Additionally, these tools could serve a role in future qualitative studies by reducing organizational overhead and providing search capabilities. To facilitate further research, the musical works from the study are released under a Creative Commons license and the compositional process data set will be accessible to researchers.

▼ This dissertation explores the interaction of statistical learning and bias. While novel category learning is known to involve statistical learning mechanisms, there is clear evidence that learners bring bias of various forms into the process, resulting in learning patterns that differ from the expected outcome of purely distributional learning. Here, I explore the way that the learner's experienced-based expectations about the informativeness of acoustic cues interacts with the informativeness of those cues during novel category learning. This question is addressed using a combination of experimental and computational methods. These two sources provide complementary evidence about the role of learning bias in statistical category learning, examining the effects of bias under certain learning conditions and testing one way in which such bias might be computationally implemented in the learning process. Chapter 3 presents experimental evidence that learners are sensitive to gradient differences in cue reliability and demonstrate evidence of using multiple cues in distributional learning, contrasting with previous results. Three groups of native English speaker participants were trained to distinguish a pair of novel vowel categories with cues which are, for them, either uninformative at the segmental level (F0) or highly informative for native vowel distinctions (F2), where the relative informativeness of the cues was varied between groups. Participants in groups where one of the cues was more informative showed cue weightings which were influenced by the weighting present in the stimuli, demonstrating that learners' cue weighting is modulated by the properties of the input. The balanced-cues group, more consistent with previous studies, showed less reliable learning. All groups showed a cue weighting pattern which is not directly attributable to L1 experience, preferring F0-based categorization boundaries over F2-based boundaries. Chapter 4 presents a novel model of category learning which examines the interaction of bias and statistical learning from a computational perspective. This model implements category learning as a form of hierarchical inference where the learner makes inferences at the local level, learning individual categories, but also at a global level, making inferences about the expected properties of unobserved categories. The learner generalizes about cue informativeness in their L1. This influences what the learner expects cue weightings in novel vowel categories to look like. In a series of simulations, the model's ability to learn L1 categories and, subsequently, novel categories after L1 training, is tested and compared to a model which does not implement learning bias. These simulations test whether the presence of bias is beneficial in L1 learning, and how the bias developed over the L1 learning process influences later learning of novel categories. The results of the simulations offer a potential explanation of the bias observed in the experimental results…

▼ Patronage networks are said to help elites advance into a regime's inner circle or lead to their downfall, as well as influence regime stability and other political outcomes. But researchers have only systematically studied individual patron-client ties instead of taking advantage of the tools provided by social network analysis (SNA). In three related papers, this dissertation evaluates the best method to measure patronage networks, develops a theory of coalition formation along them, and tests it on the members of the Chinese Communist Party's Central Committee from 1982 until 2012. The first paper argues that informal politics is better conceptualized through networks than factions, and identifies and evaluates two common approaches to measure such networks: the inductive approach, which relies on a qualitative assessment of insider sources, and the deductive approach, which infers the network from publicly available data. The paper evaluates several commonly used approaches to deduce networks among Chinese political elites. Using methods and concepts developed in Social Network Analysis, it finds that coworker networks perform best in these tests, but can be further refined by noting the number of instances of working together, or by taking into account promotions that have occurred while the two individuals were coworkers. The second paper develops a model in which one or two leaders form their coalitions along network ties connecting the relevant political elites, the selectorate. Simulations on random networks and real-life patronage networks among Chinese elites illustrate how all but the regular (lattice or complete) network lead to power differentials between the members of the selectorate. The model identifies three specific network positions: those that increase the chances of entering the winning coalition, those that enable coalition leaders to remain in charge of the coalition, and those that help a ruler fend off the opposition. It discusses their respective properties, and shows that powerful Chinese elites do indeed hold the corresponding positions. Furthermore, in a model with two competing leaders the network structure provides an endogenous explanation for winning coalition sizes smaller than the bare majority. The third paper tests the theory on promotion networks - indicating who has been promoted under whom - among the Chinese Communist elite 1982-2012. A hazard analysis demonstrates that direct connections to patrons double the chance of being appointed to the Politburo. But links to current and former subordinates - unlike those to superiors - among the other elite also have a significant positive effect. Finally, network centrality measures can identify current patrons and predict appointments to the inner circles five or ten years later even if the identity of the patrons is unknown. Future Politburo members are found in network positions that capture popularity as a coalition partner (closeness centrality), while patrons hold network positions from which…

▼ A common assumption in machine learning is that training and testing data are i.i.d. realizations of the same distribution. However, this assumption is often violated in practice: the training and test distributions are often somewhat related but different. For example, the training sample for a face recognition system may be a carefully curated data set in general different from the full face data found on online. Similarly, spam email messages change over time and thus the training sample for a spam classifier at any time differs from the test data. The first problem described above is known as domain adaptation and the second known as learning under drifting distributions. The first part of this thesis presents theory and algorithms for these problems. For domain adaptation, we provide tight learning bounds based on the novel concept of generalized discrepancy. These bounds strongly motivate our learning algorithm and it is shown, both theoretically and empirically, that this algorithm can significaly improve upon the current state-of-the-art. We extend the theoretical results of domain adaptation to the more challenging scenario of learning under drifting distributions. Moreover, we establish a deep connection between on-line learning and this problem. In particular, we provide a novel on-line to batch conversion that motivates a learning algorithm with very favorable empirical performance. The second part of this thesis studies a crucial problem at the intersection of learning and game theory: revenue optimization in repeated auctions. More precisely, we study second-price and generalized second-price auctions with reserve. These auction mechanisms have become extremely popular in recent years due to the advent of online advertisement. Both type of auctions are characterized by a reserve price representing the minimum value at which the seller is willing to forego of the object in question. Therefore, selecting an optimal reserve price is crucial in achieving the largest possible revenue. We cast this problem as a learning problem and provide the first theoretical analysis for learning optimal reserve prices from samples for both second-price and generalized second-price auctions. These results, however, assume that buyers do not react strategically to changes in reserve prices. In the last chapter of this thesis, we analyze the possible strategies for the buyers and show that, if the seller is more patient than the buyer, it is not in the best interest of the buyer to behave strategically.

▼ Glassy systems are disordered systems characterized by extremely slow dynamics. Examples are supercooled liquids, whose dynamics slows down under cooling. The specific pattern of slowing down depends on the material considered. We poorly understand this dependence, in particular, which aspects of the microscopic structures control the dynamics and other macroscopic properties is unclear. Attacking this question is one of the two main aspects of this dissertation. We have introduced a new class of models of supercooled liquids, which captures the central aspects of the correspondence between structure and elasticity on the one hand, structure and thermodynamic and dynamic properties on the other. These models can also be resolved analytically, leading to theoretical insights into the question. Our results also shed new light on the temperature-dependence of the topology of covalent networks, in particular, on the rigidity transition that occurs when the valence is increased. Observations suggested the presence of a "rigidity window" where rigidity is barely satisfied and the system is near criticality. Our work rules out the predominant explanation for this phenomenon. Other questions appear in glassy systems at zero temperature, when the thermal activation time is infinitely long. In that situation, a glassy system can flow if an external driving force is imposed above some threshold. Near the threshold, the dynamics are critical. To describe the dynamics, one must understand how the system self-organizes into specific configurations. The first example we will consider is the erosion of a river bed. Grains or pebbles are pushed by a fluid and roll on a disordered landscape made by the static particles. Experiments support the existence of a threshold forcing, below which no erosion flux is observed. Near the threshold, the transient state takes very long and the flux converges very slowly toward its stationary value. In the field, this long transient state is called "armoring" and corresponds to the filling up of holes on the frozen landscape by moving particles. The dynamics near threshold are relevant for geophysical applications – river beds tend to spontaneously sit at the threshold where erosion stops, but are poorly understood. In this dissertation, we present a novel microscopic model to describe the erosion near threshold. This model makes new quantitative predictions for the erosion flux vs the applied forcing and predicts that the spatial reparation of the flux is highly non-trivial: it is power-law distributed in space with long-range correlation in the flux direction, but no correlations in the perpendicular directions. We introduce a mean-field model to capture analytically some of these properties. To study further the self-organization of driven glassy systems, we investigate, as our last example, the athermal dynamics of mean-field spin glasses. Like many of other glasses, such as electron glasses, random close packings, etc., the spin glass self-organizes…

▼ The intensification of cross-sector collaboration phenomena has occurred in multiple fields of action. Organizations in the private, public and social sectors are working together to tackle society’s most wicked problems. Some success has resulted in a generalized belief that cross-sector collaborations represent the new paradigm to manage complex problems. Yet, important knowledge gaps remain about how cross-sector alliances generate value for society, particularly to its beneficiaries. This study answers the question: How does cross-sector collaboration affect its beneficiary’s capacity for collective action? It uses a qualitative embedded case study design, and theoretical sampling of two general cases of alliance-based interventions in a developing country: Colombia. Two embedded cases within each general case identify evidence of collective action capacity of the beneficiaries. The study’s findings speak to the management literatures studying collective action at different levels of analysis. Key contributions include a Beneficiaries’ Capacity Building and Expressing Model, which identifies the drivers that lead to collective action, and provide a conceptualization of collective action as installed and realized capacity. Findings also identify and explain alliances’ contributions to beneficiaries’ capacity building: alliances are trust brokers and they create spaces. Alliances also enable beneficiaries to release or actualize that capacity by building bridges, allowing capitals’ circulation and becoming a relational buffer to protect people’s initiatives. Beneficiaries increased capacity for collective action is an outcome that becomes an alliance input, leading overtime to further benefits involving systemic change. Beneficiaries’ increased collective action capacity is a prerequisite to produce changes in larger systems of public policy and/or markets, but beneficiaries need to continue working in collaboration with the alliance as a whole system. The research features a complex collaborative system that changes how actors mobilize resources to generate systemic change. Building on those findings the study also offers an outcome-based conceptualization of alliances value creation at the beneficiary level of analysis.

▼ This paper (1) draws on a review of the literature on instructional video to map onto one model of professional development the learning goals and reflective activities that are most likely to develop the potential of instructional video to change beliefs and develop critical consciousness, and (2) provides anecdotal evidence to explore the potential of instructional video in an asset-focused, transformative, and responsive model of professional development in culturally responsive teaching. The paper concludes that instructional video can be an effective tool for professional development in culturally responsive teaching because people often need to see transformations in teaching and learning before they can believe such transformations are possible. PAPER TWO: “LISTEN THEN, OR, RATHER, ANSWER”: CONTEMPORARY CHALLENGES TO SOCRATIC EDUCATION The popularity of Jacques Rancière in recent work in educational philosophy has rejuvenated discussion of the merits and weaknesses of Socratic education, both in Plato’s dialogues and in invocations of Socrates in contemporary educational practice. This paper explores the implications of this trend through comparing Rancière’s educational thought to an analysis of Socratic education in Plato’s Republic. The paper also draws on the educational literature on Socratic education to provide further context to explore the usefulness of both Rancière and Socrates for contemporary teaching. PAPER THREE: PEOPLE MAKE REVOLUTIONS, NOT TECHNOLOGY: THE ROLE OF FACEBOOK, TWEETS, AND TEXTING IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF YOUTH ACTIVISM This paper explores one teen’s experience using social media to organize a high school walkout. Jonathan Ortiz learned about education budget cuts from his teacher, and leveraged social media and texting as political organizing tools. The paper explores what it meant for Jonathan to develop as a youth activist during a time when social media and texting have made organizing faster and more efficient. The paper concludes (1) face-to-face relationships provided the most impactful developmental opportunities for Jonathan as he came of age as a youth activist, and (2) social media may be more likely to support the development of youth activism when adult mentors intervene with strategies of facilitation and teaching.

▼ This work explores some key questions associated with designing games to foster empathy. First, how can design practice build on the understandings of empathy that have been developed in a variety of disciplines? Although empathy has been thoroughly studied in many fields, the lack of standardized nomenclature makes it difficult to apply knowledge from one to the next. Here, I present a theoretical framework that helps organize and explain research on empathy across disciplines. I also use the framework to propose heuristic best practices for designing games to foster empathy. Second, what does “empathetic play” look and feel like, and how does it impact the player? In the research presented here, 81 participants played the game Layoff. Some were prompted to play “empathetically,” while others received no prompting. Both quantitative and qualitative findings suggest that the experience of empathetic play is distinct from that of entertainment-focused play, and that empathetic play produces distinct attitudinal and behavioral consequences. Specific findings include the following: 2. Empathetic players approached in-game decisions as moral dilemmas, while entertainment-focused players were much less likely to engage with the game on moral terms. 3. Empathetic players were much more likely to experience emotional states that have been associated with empathy in prior research, i.e., empathetic concern and personal distress. 4. Empathetic players were more likely to associate their own histories with people represented in the game. 5. Once the game was over, players who had been prompted to engage empathetically donated more of their remuneration to a charity serving victims of economic hardship. Overall, these results suggest that (a) players will not reliably adopt an empathetic (as opposed to entertainment-focused) posture without some form of prompting, and that (b) empathetic engagement inside of a game can encourage altruistic behavior in the world outside the game.

▼ BACKGROUND AND METHOD: Medical students are generally considered to be a unique group of experienced learners, functioning under high levels of stress and fatigue. The use of multimedia in digital environments has become a standard feature in most medical schools, but it has met with limited success. A study was designed to investigate the impact of stress and fatigue on general study resource selection, with particular interest in multimedia, and its limited uptake by medical students. A series of 58 focus groups with 107 third and fourth year medical students at the NYU School of Medicine was conducted in the spring of 2015. A survey instrument was also administered. Quantitative data analysis was conducted in SPSS-23; the qualitative data analysis was conducted through open coding and grounded theory procedures in ATLAS.ti. FINDINGS: Results produced a model of stress and fatigue for third-year medical students, and showed a statistically significant increase in multimedia usage under fatigue but not under stress alone, and a statistically significant decline in textbook preference under conditions of stress and/or fatigue. Practice questions (i.e., “question banks”) and text-based websites (evidence-based, clinical decision resources related to diagnosis and case management) were the preferred study resources under all conditions. Further analysis of the qualitative data regarding multimedia’s strengths and weaknesses under stress and fatigue produced a series of 12 multimedia design and implementation factors. DISCUSSION While these findings are based on the specific medical student population, there may be significant implications for the general learner population, which is also confronting increased stress and fatigue. As on-line learners and other populations of learners start to look more like medical students – trying to study when they are tired, stressed, and under severe time pressure – it’s worth considering that many of the suggestions for making multimedia resources more appealing to medical students might also have the same effects with other populations.

▼ Early embryos of many metazoans polarize radially to facilitate critical patterning events such as asymmetric cell division and cellular morphogenesis. Radial polarity is established in response to cell contact patterns and functions to define the inside-outside axis of the embryo. Mammalian embryos polarize radially at compaction, and this event is thought to influence the trophectoderm versus inner cell mass cell fate decision that ensues. Recent work has implicated the PAR proteins, a highly conserved family of cell polarity regulators, in this decision, but how these proteins are regulated in the early mammalian embryo is unknown. C. elegans early embryos polarize radially prior to gastrulation when cell contacts restrict PAR proteins to contact-free cell surfaces. PAR proteins in turn regulate the asymmetric accumulation of myosin that is critical for subsequent gastrulation morphogenesis. We are using C. elegans a model system to investigate the regulation of embryonic radial polarity. Using forward genetics, we identify a novel and conserved Rho GTPase activating protein (RhoGAP), PAC-1/ARHGAP10, which mediates C. elegans radial polarity and gastrulation by excluding PAR-6 from cell contacts. We show that PAC-1 is recruited to cell contacts, at least in part, by conserved cell adhesion molecules, and we show that PAC-1 regulates CDC-42 to control radial polarity. We propose that PAC-1 inhibits CDC-42 at cell contacts, and that CDC-42 at the contact free surface, where it is free from PAC-1 inhibition, binds and recruits PAR-6. Thus, PAC-1 provides a dynamic molecular link between the cell contacts and the PAR proteins that polarize embryos radially. Additionally, we identify genetic interactions between PAC-1 and adherens junction components, and we hypothesize that these interactions are required for epithelial integrity during epidermal morphogenesis later in development. As PAC-1 homologs exist in mammals, it will be interesting to learn if they perform orthologous functions in the control of radial polarization and morphogenesis in mammalian systems.

▼ This dissertation charts some of the most significant events for the development of portrait-painting in New Spain in order to shed light on a problematic genre that is often overlooked or misunderstood, even by scholars in the field. The first chapter examines the corporate portrait in early seventeenth-century Mexico City, specifically the series of canvases depicting archbishops in the cathedral chapter hall, and the role of the painter as an arbiter of taste. The second chapter investigates the persistence of this established model, which was a narrowly constructed and exclusively male tradition, which lasted a century and a half. The third chapter discusses the extraordinary innovations of the early eighteenth century. As a result of many factors, including profound economic and social changes, there began an explosion of portrait commissions after 1700, especially in the previously ignored spheres of women and family. The final chapter deals with the foundation of the Academy in Mexico and its role in the Bourbon effort to retain control over its dominion by re-imposing artistic taste in the colony. One of the strategies employed to this end was the importation of a generation of Spanish artists trained at the Academy in Madrid. Portraiture in the viceroyalties, like the court culture of its government seats in Mexico City and Lima, was inherently conservative, concerned as it was with the shaky balance of power that defined colonial politics and society. Once the formula of state portraiture was established in New Spain, it remained fairly uniform because of the inherent demands of such patrons. The first portrait commissions were for series of statesmen; later depictions needed to comply with and consolidate this corporate template. In this way, portraiture in New Spain developed differently than it had in Europe because its tradition was so firmly rooted in the series of viceroys and prelates. Instead of developing along the art-historical arc that characterizes many parts of Europe, portraiture in New Spain followed a different course.

▼ This dissertation on the history of modern Ecuador addresses the conflicts between peasants and landlords at the regional level, workers and emergent class organizations, as well as state agents and institutions over nearly a century, between 1834 and 1943. It traces the effects that regional struggles had on a reciprocal process of national-state and civil-society formation. Throughout this period, conflicts and alliances defined both the rights and privileges of groups and the stability of state authority at the regional level. In a first stage of conflict and negotiations between peasant communities and the state in the nineteenth century (1834-1896), the principal allies of the communities were radical liberals, as these communities resisted state policies of de-corporativization, tribute collection, and attempts to seize indigenous lands. In those conflicts, the ethnic authorities of the communities allied with a new liberal movement to confront the power of the landholding elites. In 1895, a second stage (1895-1906) of negotiations emerged along with an alliance between the peasantry from the coast, indigenous communities from the Sierra, and the Radical Liberal Party, an alliance that mobilized subaltern classes and generated a civil war. In the twentieth century, the key allies of indigenous and peasant communities became urban workers and middle-class socialists. Between 1906 and 1925, there was a process of counter-revolution and economic integration into world markets that sought to sustain itself through authoritarian forms of labor organization and domination of the peasantry. During this third stage of transformation (1925-1945) through conflict and negotiation, a new strategy emerged to reconstitute popular and peasant political power through connections with other urban industrial workers and middle-class circles. Popular movements and democratic political parties thereby emerged with a powerful capacity to pressure and reform the state, and in turn, the state instituted new social rights and distribution policies between 1925 and 1944. Ultimately, this is a study of how subaltern classes confronted internal colonialism and how political contention was crucial in the building of a nation-state that incorporated popular demands for justice, redistribution, and recognition.

▼ Heterosexism and other biased behavior are common in U.S. schools, but little attention has focused on the importance of teachers, staff, school clubs, and policies in combating bias. Three studies are presented that address gaps in the literature. Study 1 examined associations between gay-straight alliances (GSAs), school belonging, and academic achievement in a national sample of 1,730 lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) youth. The presence of a GSA predicted greater belonging and indirectly predicted greater achievement. In a subsample of 690 GSA members, GSAs' advocacy with teachers and staff predicted greater responsiveness to heterosexist remarks from these adults when school principals were highly supportive of the GSA, which in turn predicted fewer remarks in schools and greater belonging and achievement among participants. Members had greater school belonging and achievement when GSAs incorporated a strong, social support component. Study 2 examined associations between supportive actions from teachers and staff and mental health and school outcomes among 1,504 LGBT youth who were victimized in the previous school year. Supportive actions included positively teaching about LGBT topics and intervening when hearing heterosexist remarks. Actions positively predicted greater belonging and comfort talking to teachers and staff about LGBT issues. Belonging mediated negative associations between actions and anxiety, depression, hostility, and interpersonal sensitivity. Comfort talking to teachers and staff about LGBT issues mediated negative associations between actions and mental distress (anxiety and interpersonal sensitivity). Supportive actions predicted youth more frequently reporting their victimization. Study 3 examined 448 teachers' responses to a vignette depicting students using biased language and joking about violence against a student who is Black, gay, Muslim, or enrolled in special education in a between-subjects design. Teachers perceived anti-Black bias as the most serious and were most likely to report this behavior to school officials. Teachers perceived anti-special education behavior as the least serious and worthy of school officials' attention. The victim's identity did not predict whether teachers would correct students. Individual- and school-level predictors were modeled to explain differences. Individual-level seriousness strongly predicted responsiveness, and aggregate seriousness predicted reporting to school staff for all biases except anti-LGBT.

▼ Objects in the world are rarely seen in isolation. For primates to have a useful representation of the external world neural mechanisms are required that appropriately integrate and differentiate local features of the image with the surrounding visual context. This thesis investigates such mechanisms by studying the dynamic signaling of spatial context via the extra-classical receptive fields (eCRFs) of neurons in macaque primary visual cortex (V1). Neurons in V1 are commonly classified as simple or complex based on their response modulation to optimized and spatially restricted drifting sinusoidal gratings. In the first set of experiments, I demonstrate that this classification is robust to both changes in stimulus contrast as well as context produced by spatially extended stimuli of various configurations. Stimulation of neurons eCRFs often evokes suppression of the responses to stimuli within the classical receptive field (CRF). In the second experiment, I find that this suppression develops over time; the strength and onset latency of suppression is contrast dependent. Additionally, there are two components to the suppression: early in time the suppression is untuned for orientation and later in time a tuned-component of the suppression arises. The untuned component is found across all cortical layers while the tuned component is most prevalent in layers 2/3 and 4b. In the third experiment, I use a subspace reverse-correlation stimulus paradigm to characterize neurons’ responses to gratings of various orientations and spatial positions in the eCRF with fine temporal resolution. I find three underlying component mechanisms to eCRF modulation: early orientation-tuned facilitation followed by orientation-untuned and then orientation-tuned suppression. Facilitation is found to arise from regions within and local to the CRF, with suppression at larger spatial extents. Further, the tuned-facilitation and tuned-suppression have similar peak orientations and ranges of orientation bandwidth. The fourth experiment uses a paradigm similar to experiment three, this time to characterize the tuning of spatial meta-contrast masking in human perception. I find a dominant tuned (for orientation and spatial frequency) suppressive mechanism that is in general agreement with the results on V1 eCRF properties, suggesting a candidate neural basis for such perceptual masking.

▼ This is the first monographic study of carpets produced in the Deccan. It explores the idea that trade is an interactive system in which the demands of merchants and consumers help to shape the design and character of the objects produced. Such an interaction provides a better framework for understanding the carpet production, distribution and use than does the traditional focus on design alone. This study also demonstrates that the movement of carpets across political and cultural boundaries can generate a transformation in both their function and significance. India is famous for its textile production but the only Indian carpets that have been studied in depth are those made for the Mughal court in north India. The Deccan has been known as a center for carpet production since the 1908 monograph of Henry Harris but it was the 1986 article by Steven Cohen that stimulated carpet historians to study them. Independently, a group of American and Japanese scholars realized that the well preserved carpets and textiles used to decorate floats in the Kyoto Gion Festival were an important resource for textile history. This research culminated in two important publications. In 1992 Nobuko Kajitani and Kojiro Yoshida published a report on the 297 historic textiles used as float covers. Daniel Walker's 1997 exhibition of Indian carpets, Flowers Underfoot drew attention to the presence of Deccani carpets in Kyoto. Based on research in Japan, the United Kingdom, Portugal, Austria and the United States, this dissertation analyzes more than eighty carpets and provides technical information about them. This enables us to establish the characteristics of Deccani carpets. Using historical sources, it also reconstructs the broader history of carpet weaving in the Deccan. In the late 17^th century, the English East India Company and the Dutch East India Company (VOC) realized the potential of Deccani carpets as trade goods. The survival of Deccani carpets in Portugal, Austria, and the United Kingdom are testimony to that process. This dissertation also connects the Deccani carpets now in Japan with the trade network established by the VOC and documents their subsequent history in Japanese collections.

▼ Using a joint isentropic analysis, a theory of the meridional overturning circulation is developed. Our method is based on a careful treatment of the mass flux joint distribution, a quantity that records meridional mass fluxes according to their potential temperature and their equivalent potential temperature simultaneously. This approach reveals mass fluxes that would otherwise be impossible to retrieve with previously available methods. Moreover, it creates as a by-product a completely new diagnostic for the vertical profile of equivalent potential temperature in midlatitudes. These vertical profiles are unusual in that they represent the atmospheric state that is experienced by poleward and equatorward fluxes independently. While poleward fluxes are subjected to a moist atmosphere with slanted moist isentropes, equatorward fluxes experience a dry atmosphere with moist isentropes confounded with dry isentropes. Using these diagnostics, we unify the circulation on dry isentropes with the circulation on moist isentropes by identifying the mass fluxes related to midlatitudes moist ascents. In the process of unifying the two, we propose a moist theory of lower tropospheric dynamic that, when viewed in the context of strong moist ascents, gives an explanation for the midlatitudes moist stratification. This theory is applied to the study of moist baroclinic eddies using idealized moist life-cycle experiments. We compute the cumulative mass flux joint distribution for a series of individual eddies and use it to describe transports of mass and heat. We relate the moist circulation strength to the amount of available moisture and show that by increasing the depth or relative humidity of a surface moist layer we are increasing the mass fluxes associated with moist ascents. It is further shown that these added mass fluxes correspond to an increase in eddy kinetic energy in the breaking region of the underlying long wave. Based on these observations, we apply similar diagnostics to model outputs of the A1B global warming scenario. We describe effects of surface warming on the isentropic circulations and conclude that winter mass fluxes associated with moist ascents could strengthen so much that they could overcome the weakening of the dry circulation during the northern winter.

▼ The context of school is a very salient and important arena for adolescent development. Adolescents spend a considerable amount of their waking hours in school, and thus, examination of students’ perceptions of school climate provides an important insight into the junction of school context and development. School climate has been linked to both academic outcomes and psychological well-being. Perceptions of interpersonal relations, issues concerning safety, and feelings of autonomy and respect have all been associated with academic engagement outcomes, self-esteem and depression. To date, most studies examine school climate with a uni-dimensional construct (i.e., summary score of multiple dimensions), or with each dimension of school climate predicting outcomes (i.e., teacher support and achievement). These approaches fail to consider the inherent inter-relatedness of the various aspects of school climate and their collective influence on academic and psycho-social outcomes. Thus, we have little understanding of how multiple aspects of school climate may comprehensively influence adolescents. To obtain a clearer understanding of how youth experience their school climate and its impact on development, it is necessary to examine students’ perceptions of developmentally critical dimensions of school climate in a holistic fashion, how these perceptions relate to outcomes, and how these perceptions change overtime. The present study seeks to understand how urban middle school students perceive interpersonal, structural, and autonomous dimensions of school climate over time, and how those perceptions impact development through three inter-related studies. The first study uses idiographic cluster analytic methods to explore profiles of students’ perceptions of peer relations, feelings of safety, and teacher support and respect, paying attention to differences that may exist across demographic groups. The second study examines the relationship between these profiles of perceived school climate and academic engagement, self-esteem and depression. The third study explores how profiles of perceived school climate emerge one year later, how these profiles differ from students’ initial perceptions at the start of middle school, and how these profiles are related to concurrent academic engagement, self-esteem and depression. Examination of these dimensions and their link to academic and psycho-social outcomes further elucidates the important role school climate plays in adolescent development.

▼ The purpose of this study was to examine the validity of children's self-reports of their temperament after participating in an educational theatre puppet program called INSIGHTS into Children's Temperament . The data for this study came from three prevention trials that tested the efficacy of INSIGHTS. The 284 primary grade children in this study were interviewed following the 10-week educational theatre puppet program that is the classroom component of the program. The puppets used in this study were designed to represent the four typical temperaments identified by McClowry (2002). Each of the puppets differed on four dimensions of temperament: negative reactivity, task persistence, withdrawal, and activity. At the end of the program, the children were asked, "If you could pick one puppet – and only one puppet – who you are most like? Why do you think that you are like [name of selected puppet]?" The children's selections were interpreted qualitatively and quantitatively to provide a greater understanding of their responses. To further evaluate the validity of the children's self-reports, a quantitative analysis of their responses was compared to the responses from their parents and teacher as derived from Likert-type parallel questionnaires called the Teacher School-Age Temperament Inventory (TSATI; McClowry & Lyons-Thomas, 2009) and the School-Age Temperament Inventory (SATI; McClowry, 1995). The children's selection of puppets was predominately related to two factors: the gender of the child and a choice between positively viewed puppets versus negatively viewed puppets. The findings showed clear preferences for puppets of their gender and the more socially desirable or positively viewed puppet. An analysis of the children's responses also led to the conclusion that some children might have misunderstood the interview questions. Recommendations for the future development of a children's self-report measure using puppets is offered. Additional suggestions for conducting research in educational theatre using puppets also is discussed.

▼ The purpose of this study was to understand the experiences of undocumented Latino students' in a suburban community college. The intention was to obtain insight into the barriers undocumented students confront throughout their college experience; it also sought to realize the goals and aspirations of undocumented students and their feelings towards the institution. The study utilized the conceptual grounding of membership, trust and social capital to frame the content of the research. The current body of research regarding undocumented students is limited (Dozier, 2001; Flores, 2003; Lopez, 2010; Perez, 2009). This study added to the body of knowledge by learning how undocumented students feel about their college experience, why they chose to attend college, and their hopes and aspirations for the future. Through a qualitative approach, interviews were utilized to obtain data regarding the students' thoughts and feelings. Through the use of a three-interview process the students developed a sense of trust while engaging in the research questions (Seidman, 2006). The data was analyzed through a process that included open coding, axial coding, and thematic analysis. The results suggested that undocumented students face a series of barriers in higher education including; learning about their college options, applying to college, understanding tuition differentials, paying for college, participating in all aspects of college life, and obtaining pre-professional workplace experience. They also discussed barriers they felt were in place in their daily lives including; inability to obtain a drivers license, limited access to travel, inability to acquire a credit card, and inability to secure stable work. The students had complex feelings regarding their relationship with their institution and while they cited support from faculty as a positive experience, they also described hostile experiences on campus and lack of college choice that led to a sense of distrust. Finally, those students who relied on a network of peers, faculty, and administrators demonstrated higher levels of knowledge regarding access to programs and services. Overall, the students hoped to have the ability to change their legal status', they planned on remaining in the United States and had aspirations of joining the professional workforce.

▼ This study explores the role of race and liberalism in the construction of the struggle to reform Harvard and Radcliffe from 1945-1990. Black students and academics organized along the basis of race in order to push through a reform agenda. The program for reform began in the postwar period to protest individual instances of racial injustice and to broadly inform the campus population of black contributions to civilization. This group rallied against the slow progress of racial integration into the social and academic life of a university that professed to have a liberal ideology that supported reform. Student protest in the late 1960s brought about definitive agreements that included an increase in black admissions, more black faculty and administrative hires, and the creation of a black studies department and institute. There was a long struggle because Harvard and Radcliffe lacked the institutional will to implement the racial program of reform in a robust and complete manner during each historical period. The Boston Brahmin construct describes the white administrators who were in the position of power to make the bureaucratic changes but proceeded incrementally in the cause of racial integration. When the Brahmins expanded to include black and white administrators by the 1970s, Harvard's institutional position changed slightly in order to accommodate the new affirmative action policy. The lack of willingness to implement reform, while exhibiting change over time, was tied to a liberal ideology that was avowedly centrist. The cause of black integration into the northern university was given its power and momentum through the organizing efforts of black students and intellectuals and their allies. The periods of conflict and consensus between students and adults helped to steer the course during the long struggle. Without the collective action on the part of these groups and the intervention of great domestic and international movements of the postwar era, racial reform would not have occurred. Although the Afro-America Studies department rested on secure institutional ground in 1990, black faculty hires and black admissions numbers were below what reformers wanted. The cause of racial reform, therefore, remained an ongoing struggle.

▼ This dissertation explores the subject of corporeal marriage as both an historical reality and a figurative ideal in the Divina Commedia of Dante Alighieri. It is my contention that despite the conspicuous failure of many of the Commedia’s husbands and wives to live up to the chaste mandates of their sacred vows, their wedded unions are nevertheless informed by the author’s positive regard for the matrimonial state. As the seed-bed for the polis and the wellspring of Christian caritas, marriage provides the civic/ethical paradigm against which the Commedia’s spousal figures are ultimately judged. I also argue that earthly matrimony functions as an evocative signifier in some of the Commedia’s nuptial allusions. By comparing Dante’s connubial rhetoric to a sampling of twelfth and thirteenth century discourses on matrimony, I find evidence of the conjugal love which was presupposed to exist in the sacramental, indissoluble and consensual union of one man to one woman. Despite the central role accorded to earthly matrimony by Dante’s contemporaries and uncovered by recent social, religious and cultural historians of the Italian Trecento, it has received limited attention in Dante criticism. I seek to rectify this incongruity by contextualizing my close readings with sources which offset what is commonly presented as a rather grim picture of contractual marriage in the time of Dante. I also dislodge the subject of matrimony from the realm of women’s studies and resituate it within a more balanced debate over the construction of masculine and feminine identity. By looking at dynamic correlation between female chastity and masculine potency, uxorial fidelity and abandonment, I highlight the complex system interdependent relationships governing Dante’s matrimonial pairs. My relational approach to the husbands and wives of the Commedia is manifest in all three chapters. From the incontinent and neglectful spouses of the Inferno, to the lapsed widows and redeemed paterfamilias of the Purgatorio, and finally to the exemplary wedded amanti of the Heaven of the Sun, my readings look to how the individual is defined in relation to his or her conjugal mate.

▼ This dissertation examines the literary production of Juan Bautista Alberdi (1810 – 1884), focusing above all on the figure of the pueblo, notions of the public, and representations of the popular masses. The premise is that a careful reading of Alberdi’s more imaginative works is critical to a fuller understanding of his political thought. My claim, more specifically, is that there appear to be two questions—both fundamentally challenging to representative government—that pervade his literature: how to represent the people and how to communicate with the public. Over the course of four chapters, I will be tracking how Alberdi tussles with these problems in his Figarillo articles, his theatrical works, and his novel, in ways that he could not within the confines of his more systematic writings on politics, history, and jurisprudence. The first chapter examines Alberdi’s La Moda articles (1837 – 1838) alongside the periodical writings of Larra and Franklin. Such a treatment exposes how he employs the journalistic medium to mediate between conflicting notions of the public and the popular, while maintaining a firm distinction between representative and demagogic leadership. Chapter two considers La Revolución de Mayo (1839) in the context of the historiographical debates on the revolution’s ‘popularity.’ This supremely unperformable play, I propose, yields an unlikely—perhaps shocking—lesson on the stakes of political representation under cover of what appears to be a canonical liberal account of the May Revolution. The third chapter, best read in conjunction with the latter, further teases out the concept of representation in Gigante Amapolas (1841). In light of Plato’s and Rousseau’s critiques of theatricality, I suggest that Alberdi uses the very best resources of theater to proscribe theatricality from the realm of politics. Finally, chapter four deliberates on the matter of political voice and public speech in Peregrinación de Luz del Día (1871), arguing that the novel offers a balanced assessment of the significance of the rhetorical arts. More Aristotelian than Platonic, Alberdi shows that while rhetoric can certainly be used to deceive the masses, it is nevertheless a necessary tool for public communication, which cannot rely on rational discourse alone.

▼ Non-interactive zero-knowledge (NIZK) proofs have enjoyed much interest in cryptography since they were introduced more than twenty years ago by Blum et al. [BFM88]. While quite useful when designing modular cryptographic schemes, until recently NIZK could be realized efficiently only using certain heuristics. However, such heuristic schemes have been widely criticized. In this work we focus on designing schemes which avoid them. In [GS08], Groth and Sahai presented the first efficient (and currently the only) NIZK proof system in the standard model. The construction is based on bilinear maps and is limited to languages of certain satisfiable system of equations. Given this expressibility limitation of the system of equations, we are interested in cryptographic primitives that are “compatible” with it. Equipped with such primitives and the Groth-Sahai proof system, we show how to construct cryptographic schemes efficiently in a modular fashion. In this work, we describe properties required by any cryptographic scheme to mesh well with Groth-Sahai proofs. Towards this, we introduce the notion of “structure-preserving” cryptographic scheme. We present the first constant-size structure-preserving signature scheme for messages consisting of general bilinear group elements. This allows us (for the first time) to instantiate efficiently a modular construction of round-optimal blind signature based on the framework of Fischlin [Fis06]. Our structure-preserving homomorphic trapdoor commitment schemes yield the first efficient leakage-resilient signatures (in the bounded leakage model) which satisfy the standard security requirements and additionally tolerate any amount of leakage. Furthermore, we build a structure-preserving encryption scheme which satisfies the standard CCA security requirements. While resembling the notion of verifiable encryption, it provides better properties and yields the first efficient two-party protocol for joint ciphertext computation. Note that the efficient realization of such a protocol was not previously possible even using the heuristics mentioned above. Lastly, we revisit the notion of simulation extractability and define “true-simulation extractable” NIZK proofs. Although quite similar to the notion of simulation-sound extractable NIZK proofs, there is a subtle but rather important difference which makes it weaker and easier to instantiate efficiently. As it turns out, in many scenarios this new notion is sufficient.

▼ This dissertation’s objective was to examine architectural and urban planning theories and practices of post World War II Warsaw within the context of larger twentieth century history, and in so doing, oppose those established interpretations, which have labeled the commencement of the post war, Communist directed rebuilding process as a profound break in Warsaw’s architectural and urban planning history. Warsaw’s 1945 devastated condition, and soon to follow radical politicoeconomic system, had leant itself to a reading of the city’s twentieth century history in terms of discontinuity. In contrast, I broadened the scope of inquiry to encompass the periods between the two world wars, as well as the years of the Second World War, in effort to explore historical continuities within the fields of architecture and urbanism and revisit the post World War II rebuilding campaign’s efforts at reaffirming Warsaw’s function as capital, a notion at the core of local architectural and urban planning activities since Poland achieved the status of independent nation-state in 1918. I treated the rebuilding campaign of the late 1940s and early 1950s as an effort to not only combat the devastation caused by the recent war, but also to further undo the perceived damage wrought by the laissez faire development dated to the prolonged era of partition by neighboring states, a preoccupation of the interwar urban planners. By organizing the content into three diachronic chapters, I strove to demonstrate the creative ideas and political pressures brought to bear on the projection and realization of Warsaw as capital city through its master plan proposals, and architectural and urban projects. The historic bookends of 1916 and 1956, correspond to two master plans, both significant milestones in Warsaw’s growth. For the years between, this project traces various additional master plans proposed for Warsaw, to be considered as units within a single continuous planning process. Architectural production is discussed in terms of preservation, reconstruction, and new construction through which Warsaw-based practitioners addressed local issues while responding to international developments within their respective fields.

▼ This study describes several of the proximate and ultimate factors influencing the flexible "fission-fusion" grouping patterns of wild spider monkeys ( Ateles belzebuth belzebuth) living in a lowland tropical rainforest at the Tiputini Biodiversity Station (TBS), in eastern Ecuador. During 22 months we conducted behavioral follows using focal animal sampling on all adult members of one habituated group of spider monkeys. We collected systematic data on their activity patterns, diet and ranging behaviors. Data on the size and composition of the subgroup containing the focal animal were also collected in detail, recording all events related with subgroup change in size and composition (fissions and fusions). Furthermore, in order to monitor the mineral licks used by spider monkeys at the TBS and study their lick visitation patterns we used camera and video traps that recorded the activity at the licks continuously. The main goal of this study was to describe the flexible grouping associations of spider monkeys and evaluate the influence of resource availability, predation pressure and intergroup competition on the ranging and grouping decisions of a group of spider monkeys. In order to describe the flexible grouping patterns of spider monkeys we conducted simultaneous follows on two spider monkeys, attempting to sample all possible dyads, and recorded their inter-individual distances. We were able to describe the spatial cohesion between the members of a group of spider monkeys and found that while on average approximately 40% of the time any two members of the group might range together cohesively in a subgroup, in approximately 60% of the time they would travel and forage in complete independence from each other. Nonetheless, the study group had a stable composition and group members would interact almost exclusively with each other rather than with any other conspecifics. This results support the idea that fission-fusion grouping patterns are indeed extremely flexible as subgroup size and composition, as well as the spatial cohesion of groups' members vary within short spatio-temporal intervals. Fruit availability at the Tiputini Biodiversity Station was less seasonal when compared to the phenological patterns of most Neotropical lowland forests where spider monkeys have been studied. Resource availability at the TBS and intragroup feeding competition seem to only explain a minor proportion of the variance in spider monkey subgroup size and grouping strategies. The strong correlation between resource availability and spider monkeys subgroup size found elsewhere was not found at TBS. These results might be supported by the fact that periods of fruit scarcity are shorter at TBS and social groups use extremely large areas to forage and exploit resources. Other factors, such as predation risk and intergroup competition, amongst others, might be playing a stronger role on the grouping patterns of spider monkeys. This study evidenced that mineral licks are key…
