Purpose: Academic programs are faced with the important task of selecting health professional students who not only possess necessary cognitive abilities to perform their future job, but also have valuable personal/professional characteristics to draw upon in the provision of quality patient care. There is therefore "widespread agreement that it is desirable to broaden the scope of assessment beyond academic achievement" (Eva, Reiter, Trinh, Wasi, Rosenfeld, Norman, 2009, p.768) in candidate selection. The Child Life Studies Program at McMaster University used a 4-station multiple mini-interview (MMI) as part of the admission selection process. This study sought to determine the feasibility, degree of acceptability and reliability of this 4-station MMI design, and if there were any predictors of candidate's performance on the MMI. Methods: A group of 35 applicants in 2014, and 40 applicants in 2015 screened through admission procedures participated in a 4-station MMI. Each station was 15 minutes in length with 5 minutes for scoring each candidate. Anonymous stakeholder surveys were used in 2015 to assess participant and interviewer's perceptions and acceptability of the MMI in applicant selection. Generalizability coefficients were calculated to determine reliability. In addition, candidate's experience in healthcare, professional work experience, experience with children with disabilities, and previous child life course work (or lack thereof) were analyzed through independent t-tests to report any relationship with candidate's performance on the MMI. A one-way ANOVA was also completed to report any relationship between candidate's undergraduate degree type and his/her MMI performance. Results: The 4-station MMI was found to be feasible for a small program with a marked increase found in the number of candidates interviewed in a shorter period of time. It was also found to be highly acceptable among candidates and faculty. However, this studies' findings did not show statistically significant differences in MMI performance based on identified predictors, or undergraduate degree type. The reliability of the 4-station design in 2014 was G=0.718, however, was only G=0.089 in 2015, far lower than expected based on the prior year’s G Coefficient. The potential pitfalls in running a small program MMI are discussed with specific suggestions and modifications provided to enhance reliability of candidate selections across professions.

▼ Over recent decades, an increasing number of political parties across the world have adopted primary elections to nominate their candidates to all types of offices. Neither the party leaders' motivations to democratize candidate selection nor the consequences of this transformation are well understood, particularly in developing democracies, where electoral competition tends to be clientelistic and not programmatic. The first chapter of this dissertation examines the theoretical puzzle of why party leaders adopt primary elections, while the latter two chapters study the electoral consequences of the introduction of primaries. All chapters use original datasets on candidate selection in Mexico. The first chapter develops a theory to explain why party leaders voluntarily relinquish control over candidate selection and allow the use of primaries. The theory links the adoption of primaries to a common feature of electoral politics in developing democracies – the weakness of politicians' attachments towards parties. Using a formal model, I show that under certain conditions party leaders can benefit from fostering intraparty competition in order to keep potential defectors from leaving the party. The main result shows that only parties that are electorally strong ex ante can use primaries to prevent defections. The mechanism driving this result is that an officeseeker would only stay in a party that makes her compete for a nomination if the value of winning this party's ticket is sufficiently high. Therefore, in contrast to an extensive literature that links the use of primaries to electorally weak parties, this model posits the existence of a positive relationship between the use of primaries and a party's electoral strength. Evidence from legislative candidate selection in Mexico provides extensive support for the theory. In the second chapter, I show that primaries can increase political participation in general-election campaigns by shaping the candidates' incentives to invest resources into mobilizing the electorate. I construct a decisiontheoretic model in which, in contrast to traditional models, electoral mobilization is only possible after a candidate has paid the costs of building a campaign organization or “electoral machine.” Whereas candidates selected in primaries are likely to reach the general-election stage with a machine in place, other candidates choose to build one only if the general election is expected to be competitive. The main result is that primary-nominated candidates should spend more resources into electoral mobilization than those nominated through other rules only in races that are not expected to be close. Using data from Mexican elections, I find that primaries have a positive effect on mobilization in patterns that are consistent with the model. The last chapter presents a framework for the study of presidential primaries in clientelistic settings. A key feature of presidential primaries is that candidates do not have electoral machines of their own at the national level. Therefore, in…

▼ Searches for pulsars during the past fifty years, have been characterised by two problems making their discovery difficult: i) an increasing volume of data to be searched, and ii) an increasing number of `candidate' pulsar detections arising from that data, requiring analysis. Whilst almost all are caused by noise or interference, these are often indistinguishable from real pulsar detections. Deciding which candidates should be studied is therefore difficult. Indeed it has become known as the `candidate selection problem'. This thesis presents an interdisciplinary study of the selection problem, with the aim of developing a new method able to mitigate it. Specifically for future pulsar surveys undertaken with the Square kilometre Array (SKA). Through a combination of critical literature evaluations, theoretical modelling exercises, and empirical investigations, the selection problem is described in-depth here for the first time. It is shown to be characterised by the dominance of Gaussian distributed noise signals, a factor that no existing selection method accounts for. It also reveals the presence of a significant trend in survey data rates, which suggest that candidate selection is transitioning from an off-line processing procedure, to an on-line, and real-time, decision making process. In response, a new real-time machine learning based method, the GH-VFDT, is introduced in this thesis. The results presented here show that a significant improvement in selection performance can be achieved using the GH-VFDT, which utilises a learning procedure optimised for data characterised by skewed class distributions. Whilst the principled development of new numerical features that maximise the separation between pulsars and Gaussian noise, have also greatly improved GH-VFDT pulsar recall. It is therefore concluded that the sub-optimal performance of existing selection systems, is due to a combination of poor feature design, insensitivity to noise, and an inability to deal with skewed class distributions.

▼ In the conventional sense, Big Data has always been a central part of the oil and gas industry, but in modern times, Big Data’s industry presence has witnessed a significant increase in volume and velocity. Recent technological developments, such as downhole monitoring, have provided greater accessibility of real-time streaming of a variety of subsurface information. However valuable this developing technology is for acquiring vast amounts of data, it is causing disruptions regarding how we extract and analyze data using traditional techniques. A second major source of data, included in the database alongside structured data, is unstructured data. Unstructured data is mainly driven by record keeping related to on-site well and reservoir operations. Both types of incoming data are processed separately. Which leaves the questions: (1) how does unstructured information connect to a response in the structured information; (2) how can we use unstructured data to aid in the interpretation of structured data? We address these challenges and questions by developing a Natural Language Processing (NLP) tool that is designed to predict types of operational interferences from incoming well reports. The type of NLP algorithm used is assessment analysis. Once operational interferences are determined, these events are filtered using Arps’ decline analysis. After the events are filtered, the wells are processed as possible candidates for re-stimulation using an AdaBoost classification model. This analysis determines that assessment analysis is capable of separating event types from well reports with an accuracy of 95%. We were able to use NLP to locate the times of events and filter them out of the production data using Arps’ decline analysis. After filtering the events, the AdaBoost model was able to predicted the favorability for re-stimulation, with an accuracy between approximately 57% and 60%. The classification accuracy of predicting the favorability for unfiltered wells was between approximately 54% and 56%. The marginal improvement in accuracy is due to not having training data with similar production features as the filtered data. As a proof of concept, using training data with similar production features as the filtered data, we observed a significant increasing in classification accuracy by approximately 30%. The improvement of classification accuracy for the unfiltered data was approximately 5%. The implications of this research suggest that Natural Language processing is a useful tool in the realm of Big Data techniques, especially with its capability of automatic filtering of operational interference in production data. Otherwise, these events would have to be removed manually, particularly for events that are not as obvious and simple as frequent well shut-ins.

▼ This dissertation examines how parties respond and adapt their behavior to political violence. Building a theoretical argument about strategic party behavior and party capture, I address the following questions: How do parties select and recruit their candidates in regions with high levels of violence and the pervasive presence of VNAs? Do parties respond to violence by selecting certain types of candidates who are more capable of fighting these organizations? Do parties react differently at different levels of government? And finally, how do VNSAs capture political selection across at different levels of government? I argue that in regions where there is high "uncertainty," candidate selection becomes highly important for both party leaders and DTOs. Second, I argue that as violence increases and the number of DTOs also, criminal organizations, as risk-averse actors, will capture candidate selection. I posit that as violence increases, there is a greater likelihood that candidates will have criminal connections. To test my theory, I use the case of Mexico. Violence in Mexico and the presence of criminal organizations across the country has experienced a great deal of variation since the 1990s. In Chapter 2, I find that violence affects the gubernatorial candidate selection of the PRI, PAN and PRD. In high violence states, parties select gubernatorial candidates with long experience in subnational politics compared to other types of experiences. In chapter 3, however, I find that at the municipal level not all the parties respond equally to violence. As a municipality becomes more violent, the PRI and PAN party leaders are more likely to select mayoral candidates who were either state or federal deputies or candidates who were both. In contrast, the PRD is likely to recruit state deputies as a function of violence, but not national deputies or candidates who were deputies at both the state and federal level. Interestingly, I find that as the municipality becomes more violent, party leaders are less likely to recruit inexperienced candidates. This result suggests that parties do indeed respond to levels of violence. Finally, in Chapter 5, I show that criminal organizations capture candidate selection to reduce uncertainty. As utility-maximizing actors, DTOs seek to influence the selection of candidates as a function of violence. At the state level, criminal organizations are more likely to capture candidate selection in states with the presence of multiple DTOs. Party capture is more likely to happen in states where more than one DTO are fighting to control the turf. I show that criminal organizations at the state level equally capture all parties. This finding reveals that DTOs are diversifying their political connections. While under the dominant party regime, they colluded with PRI officials, under the new political Mexican democratic configuration, DTOs are establishing other political relationships with different political parties.

▼ Searches for pulsars during the past fifty years, have been characterised by two problems making their discovery difficult: i) an increasing volume of data to be searched, and ii) an increasing number of `candidate' pulsar detections arising from that data, requiring analysis. Whilst almost all are caused by noise or interference, these are often indistinguishable from real pulsar detections. Deciding which candidates should be studied is therefore difficult. Indeed it has become known as the `candidate selection problem'. This thesis presents an interdisciplinary study of the selection problem, with the aim of developing a new method able to mitigate it. Specifically for future pulsar surveys undertaken with the Square kilometre Array (SKA). Through a combination of critical literature evaluations, theoretical modelling exercises, and empirical investigations, the selection problem is described in-depth here for the first time. It is shown to be characterised by the dominance of Gaussian distributed noise signals, a factor that no existing selection method accounts for. It also reveals the presence of a significant trend in survey data rates, which suggest that candidate selection is transitioning from an off-line processing procedure, to an on-line, and real-time, decision making process. In response, a new real-time machine learning based method, the GH-VFDT, is introduced in this thesis. The results presented here show that a significant improvement in selection performance can be achieved using the GH-VFDT, which utilises a learning procedure optimised for data characterised by skewed class distributions. Whilst the principled development of new numerical features that maximise the separation between pulsars and Gaussian noise, have also greatly improved GH-VFDT pulsar recall. It is therefore concluded that the sub-optimal performance of existing selection systems, is due to a combination of poor feature design, insensitivity to noise, and an inability to deal with skewed class distributions.

▼ Eucalyptus globulus (Myrtaceae) is a forest tree species that is native to South-eastern Australia, including the island of Tasmania. It is the main eucalypt species grown in pulpwood plantations in temperate regions of the world and is being domesticated in many breeding programs. The improvement of its wood properties is a major objective of these breeding programs. As many wood properties are expensive to assess, there is increasing interest in the application of molecular breeding approaches targeting candidate genes, particularly those in the lignin and cellulose biosynthesis pathways. To assist in the identification of genes and allelic variants likely to have important phenotypic effects, this study aimed to determine whether there was a signature in the genome indicating that natural selection had caused differentiation amongst the races of E. globulus in candidate genes for wood properties. Differentiation among races based on single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within candidate genes was compared to differentiation based on microsatellite (SSR) markers. The rationale behind this approach is that if the differentiation observed in the gene-related SNPs was significantly different from that based on putatively selectively neutral markers, then this is evidence that selection maybe affecting the candidate gene. In order to do this, the genetic affinities within E. globulus (368 trees representing 42 localities partitioned into eight races from across the natural range of the species) were studied using 30 gene-based SNPs and 18 neutral nuclear SSR markers. STRUCTURE analysis based on these SSR markers showed that individuals fell into two distinctive groups (lineages). One group comprised individuals from King Island and mainland races from the Otways and Strzelecki Ranges; the second group comprised all the Tasmanian races plus the Furneaux Islands. The pattern of differentiation between races found using the neutral SSR markers was similar to that found previously, although the average FST was lower than in previous studies (FST = 0.05; 95% CI 0.041-0.063). The SNP dataset (98 SNPs from 20 genes) from the same set of samples was provided by Dr. Saravanan Thavamanikumar of the University of Melbourne. Twenty-four SNPs were excluded because their minor alleles were too rare (total minor allele frequency < 10%), also eight SNPs that were not in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium (HWE) were eliminated. A further 36 were excluded because positive linkage disequilibrium (LD) between SNPs within genes was found in at least one of the races. While virtually no LD was found between SNPs in some genes, the LD level varied markedly between races and between genes. Of the 30 SNPs included in the analysis, the FST values of most were within the 1-99% inter-percentile range observed for the SSR data, and the average FST (0.09; 95% CI 0.058-0.133) was not significantly different. However, 6 SNPs had FST values that were higher than the upper 99% percentile of the FST distribution for SSRs. The SNPs exhibiting signals of…

▼ I argue that ``gatekeeping" is not only a process that excludes marginalized groups from elected office. Instead, I present an alternative theory of gatekeeping. I take gatekeeping as an institutional process that typically disadvantages members of marginalized groups but can be turned to make changes in representation for margainalized groups. I identify three varieties of gatekeeping with regard to marginalized groups – \emph{accountability gatekeeping} (excluding members of dominant groups for violating norms of respect for marginalized groups), \emph{affirmative gatekeeping} (excluding members of dominant groups to ``make room" for members of marginalized groups as group members), and \emph{discriminatory gatekeeping} (excluding members of marginalized groups intentionally or unintentionally through gatekeeping). When party actors who are able to engage in gatekeeping see that adopting accountability or affirmative gatekeeping practices will fit their pre-existing goals, they change their gatekeeping practices. I support this argument with an in-depth historical and field study of gatekeeping, candidate selection, and group representation in New Brunswick, Canada. New Brunswick is a microcosm of Canada for the purposes of party politics, since it is the only province whose party system developed under similar dynamics of conflict over language and religion as the Canadian federal party system. I draw on a wide range of materials to make this argument. I conducted months of documentary research, 93 elite interviews, and participant-observation of 25 nominating conventions. I constructed two original datasets. The first covers all candidates for the New Brunswick Legislative Assembly from 1870 to 2018. The second covers nomination contests for the two major parties for the 2018 New Brunswick election. This dissertation makes three main contributions. First, it is the first systematic study of both formal and informal institutions of candidate selection in Canadian politics. Second, it contributes to the growing bodies of Canadian, American and comparative scholarship on candidate selection and the representation of marginalized groups by identifying cases in which party actors change gatekeeping practices in ways that aim to benefit marginalized groups. Third, I identify mechanisms through which party actors decide to adopt different gatekeeping practices that enhance the representation of marginalized groups.

▼ Policy responsiveness to the demands of the whole is important because it is a determinant of growth and development: Institutions that make governments more inclusive favor economic progress and factors that make governments more exclusive inhibit prosperity. Growth-enhancing policies likely to please the citizenry include policies that ensure the prevalence of the rule of law, policies that protect property and intellectual rights, and policies that foster competition, access and the perfection of markets. In contrast, growth-retarding policies likely to initiate from the representation efforts of politicians advancing narrow concerns include infringement on property rights, diffuse patent legislation, regulation to rise some price or wage, regulation blocking the entry into specific markets, official protection to monopolistic markets and adoption of legal barriers against international competition. If policy responsiveness to the interests of the whole favors economic affluence, what political institutions matter for the advancement of wide-encompassing interests through the policy making process? This dissertation examines the idea that the incentives provided by the intra-party candidate selection methods are crucial in order to understand the politicians' representation efforts. Expressly, increasing participation and democratization of the intra-party nomination process increase the incumbent's propensity to represent wide-encompassing interests and adopt policies that favor economic affluence. In contrast, elite-centered nomination methods decrease the incumbent's incentive to be politically responsive to the interests of the whole in favor of the representation of narrow concerns that often demand policies that benefit the group at the expense of overall economic growth. Empirically, the idea that aspirants to party tickets must first respond to the demands of those with the power to add their names to the electoral ballot finds robust support. In the developed world, candidate nomination appears largely informed by inclusive and democratic practices. Quite the opposite, in the less-developed world events of intraparty participatory politics are for the most part absent, with nomination decisions often monopolized by national party leaders and local party bosses.

▼ An operator has some deepwater horizontal oil producing wells with stand-alone-screens (SAS) or unintentional SAS (incomplete open hole gravel packs). The objective of this project is to review sand control and production in these wells; to assess selection criteria for SAS; review factors that influence SAS performance such as bean up, fluids and contingency planning; and to provide recommendations with respect to SAS criteria. This project could save 6 - 8 million per well for the deepwater operator. SAS offers reduced cost, skin, complexity and logistics, which are necessary to make some well projects economical. The risk in deepwater subsea operations is an earlier workover costing about 39.2 million. In the past, this has made some operators recommend SAS for land and shallow offshore only. However, there are deepwater wells where open hole gravel packs are not preferred such as low cost wells, wells with unstable formations that bridge off the hole quickly, wells with narrow pore pressure-fracture pressure windows, high pressure/high temperature wells with fluid compatibility issues, tortuous wells seeking multiple targets, extended reach wells, etc. More recently, some operators are now using SAS for carefully selected non-traditional SAS candidates based on tests and other important factors. At the end of the study of the operator’s wells, it was concluded that six out of seven wells with SAS were successful because they had zero to minimal sand production and good oil flow as expected. This is an 85% success rate. The operator had more conservative selection criteria for SAS than the wells parameters. Shales were isolated with blank pipes in the wells. Well surveillance will be continued to see how the wells perform over the years. The operator was advised to adjust their selection criteria by a moderate percentage, as long as the SAS to be used is physically tested with a laboratory model to validate use of the SAS in such wells.

▼ Sir Keith Holyoake, New Zealand Prime Minister from 1960 to 1972, famously counselled first-term Members of Parliament to ‘breathe through their noses’, suggesting that it was in their best interests to keep their heads down and mouths shut. Perhaps this recommendation is instrumental in the low profile of first-term MPs in New Zealand and the subsequent dearth of information available about these individuals. Within political science, scholarly attention has tended to focus on the ‘power holders’ – senior leaders and those perceived to have the most influence. In New Zealand, this has resulted in a growing field of literature about prime ministers, party leaders, and the few parliamentarians who reach cabinet. This thesis steps back from power holders to shed light on new MPs. It is important to know who new MPs are. Within parliamentary systems MPs often serve long apprenticeships before being promoted to the senior positions of their party and government. Thus MPs who enter parliament today may hold significant influence in the future. However, very little is known about legislators when they enter parliament. Do all Members of Parliament wish to become ministers or prime ministers, or do they have more modest aspirations, such as being the best local MP they possibly can? By understanding the motivations of our neophyte politicians we can better understand the types of people who are likely to become significant political actors in the future. This study aims to understand how and why individuals become MPs and how they adapt to the role once they have been elected. This thesis uses information gained from two rounds of interviews conducted with first-term Members of Parliament during their first nine months in office. Thus this research presents an insight into how MPs view candidate selection and follows them through their first few months in the job as they reconcile their pre-election expectations with the roles expected of MPs. The result is an account of how individuals become MPs and the roles they develop once elected. Advisors/Committee Members: Johansson, Jon, Levine, Stephen.

▼ ABSTRACT Phenotyping is a crucial component for using DNA-based tools in gene discovery and marker development. Phenotypic and genotypic data are essential for linking genetic variation with biological function, thus documenting gene function. However, phenotypic data gathering is not keeping pace with the immensely increasing amount of available genomic information, brought forth by current Next Generation Sequencing technologies. Standardized phenotyping protocols for peach [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch] have been developed for 6 productivity traits (on the tree) and 16 fruit quality traits. Documentation of fruit quality phenotypes has been performed applying developed standardized phenotyping protocol in two seasons, at nine locations, on 513 peach and almond accessions, cultivars, advanced selections, lines, and or populations. In this study blush (i.e. red skin pigmentation) inheritance and associated genes were investigated extensively. Blush is an important trait for marketing peaches. The red skin pigmentation develops through the flavonoid and anthocyanin pathways. Both genetic and environmental stimuli and their interaction (genotype x environment) control the regulation of this pathway. Sunlight induces the progression of red skin development. To study the genetic control of blush in peach a controlled cross between two cultivars with contrasting phenotypes, Zin Dai (~30% red) and Crimson Lady (~100% red), was made. One F1 hybrid, BY02p4019, with intermediate levels of blush (~65% red) was selfed to generate a segregating F2 blush population (ZC2). The segregating population was phenotyped for blush for four years (2007, 2008, 2010, 2011) using a visual rating scale (0-5) and in 2011 using a colorimeter (L*, a*, b*). Twenty-five individuals, exhibiting a blush range from 0 (0% red) to 5 (100% red) and a normal distribution for this trait, were genotyped with an IPSC 9K peach SNP array v1. A ZC2 genetic linkage map was constructed with 1,335 SNP markers, comprising 14 linkage groups. This map covers a genetic distance of ~452.51 cM with an average marker spacing of 2.38 cM/marker and an average number of 95 markers per LG. A major QTL for blush has been located on LG3, denoted Blush.Pp.ZC-3.1. This QTL spanned 21-41cM on LG3 and explained on average 72% of phenotypic variation for the trait. QTL analysis for four different seasons confirms the identification of this major QTL for blush in peach, and supports its stability. Three minor QTL's were located on LG's 4, and 7 indicating the presence of minor genes involved with blush development. Candidate genes involved in skin and flesh coloration of cherry (PavMYB10) and apple (MdMYB10) are located within the interval of the major QTL on LG3 suggesting the same genetic control for color development in the Rosaceae family. A standardized protocol for collecting phenotypic data in peach will facilitate discovery of genes associated with fruit quality and other agronomically important traits.

O objetivo central desta tese é analisar o processo de seleção de candidatos a Deputado Federal no Brasil durante as eleições de 2010 em quatro partidos: DEM; PMDB; PSDB e PT. Até então, os estudos sobre seleção de candidatos em nosso país privilegiaram aspectos formais da seleção, como análise dos estatutos de partidos ou processos regionais. Por outro lado, salvo algumas exceções, o enfoque para as conclusões sobre a seleção de candidatos esteve sempre nos impactos do desenho institucional brasileiro, subvalorizando os partidos como unidades autônomas no processo. Assim, a partir de dados das candidaturas fornecidos pelo Tribunal Superior Eleitoral e de um survey aplicado a cento e vinte candidatos, buscamos traçar o processo de seleção privilegiando a arena intrapartidária. As conclusões sugerem que os partidos são capazes de contornar o sistema de incentivos institucionais e selecionar seus candidatos por processos diferenciados entre si tendo em vista sua força e direção de institucionalização e que produzem consequências importantes para os perfis dos candidatos, bem como para os partidos em si.

The main purpose in this thesis is to analyse the candidate selection process for Federal Deputy in Brazil in the 2010 elections within four parties: DEM, PMDB, PSDB e PT. Heretofore, the study of candidate selection in our country have privileged the formal dimension of selection, like partys statutes analysis or regional dinamics. In the other hand, except for some exceptions, the conclusions pointed out the impact of brazilian institutional design in candidate selection, undervaluing parties as autonomus units in the process. Therefore, from data about candidacy gathered at the Electoral Supreme Court and a survey applied to one hundred and twenty candidates, we tried to sketch the candidate selection process at the intra-party arena. The conclusions suggests that political parties are capable in divert from institucional incentives and choose candidates by different methods regarding the strenght and direction of the institutionalization. Hence, the different methods bring relevant consequences for the candidates profiles as well for the parties themselves.

Die KandidatInnenselektion für öffentliche Wahlämter gehört zu den wesentlichsten Funktionen von politischen Parteien. In Österreich stehen die Abgeordneten des Nationalrats aufgrund der Monopolstellung der politischen Parteien bei der KandidatInnenauswahl, des vorherrschenden Listenwahlrechts und des de facto stabilen Wahlverhaltens bereits vor der Wahl zum Nationalrat zu über 80% fest. Die vorliegende Masterarbeit stellt eine systematische und detaillierte Analyse der Listenerstellungsprozesse der politischen Parlamentsparteien in Österreich für die Nationalratswahl 2013 und 2017 dar. Auf Basis der Statuten sowie den von den Parteien selbst veröffentlichten Informationen werden Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede bei der KandidatInnenauswahl herausgearbeitet. Vor dem Hintergrund eines liberalen Demokratieverständnisses wird zudem versucht die demokratische Qualität der einzelnen Selektionsverfahren aufzuzeigen und der Frage nachzugehen, welches KandidatInnenselektionsverfahren am demokratischsten ist bzw. welches KandidatInnenselektionsverfahren am ehesten einen Beitrag für die Demokratie auf staatlicher Ebene leistet. Die vorliegende Arbeit zeigt, dass der Listenerstellungsprozess bei den Grünen und NEOS eine hohe demokratische Qualität aufweist und mehrere wesentliche Dimensionen der Demokratie bedient. Als traditionell basisdemokratisch ausgerichtete Partei ist die Partizipation der Parteimitglieder auf subnationaler Ebene bereits seit langem im Statut der Grünen festgeschrieben. Parität und Wiederwahlklausen sichern darüber hinaus ein Mindestmaß an Repräsentation und Wettbewerb. Auch die einzelnen Stufen des dreiteiligen Listenerstellungsprozesses bei NEOS erfüllen unterschiedliche demokratische Anforderungen. Nachdem die BürgerInnen und der Vorstand als Selektorat fungiert haben, sind es die Mitglieder der Partei, welche letztlich über die KandidatInnen abstimmen. Damit ist der Prozess nicht nur sehr inklusiv gestaltet, sondern es werden auch Repräsentationsansprüche sowie die Kontrolle der Partei über den Listenerstellungsprozess gewährleistet. Im Unterschied dazu spielen für die anderen politischen Parteien in Österreich wie ÖVP, SPÖ, FPÖ, Liste Pilz (Jetzt), Team Stronach und BZÖ die Vorstände eine zentrale Rolle bei der KandidatInnenselektion. Zumeist können die KandidatInnenselektionsverfahren als exklusiv, zentralisiert und wenig transparent charakterisiert werden, wobei die Parteivorsitzenden zunehmend an Einfluss gewinnen.

Candidate Selection is one of the core functions of political parties. Due to the monopoly position of political parties in determining the electoral lists for National Council in Austria, the party-list system and traditionally very stable voting behaviour, the members of National Council are already over 80 % fixed before the actual vote. This Master Thesis presents a systematic and in-depth analysis of candidate selection methods in Austria regarding the election for the National Council in 2013 and 2017. Through the analysis of party statutes and information…

Les espèces exotiques envahissantes et les maladies infectieuses représentent un problème croissant au niveau mondial et constituent l'une des principales menaces pour la biodiversité. La Nouvelle- Calédonie, archipel situé dans le sud-ouest du Pacifique, est reconnue comme l'un des principaux points chauds de la biodiversité. Sa flore vasculaire native illustre cette singularité biologique remarquable, avec 3250 espèces dont plus de 74% sont endémiques. Dans ce contexte, la gestion et la préservation de cette biodiversité est une question prioritaire. Austropuccinia psidii est un champignon, considéré comme l’une des principales menaces environnementales pour les plantes appartenant à la famille des Myrtaceae à l’échelle mondiale. Communément connu sous le nom de "rouille des Myrtaceae", ce pathogène a été observé en Nouvelle-Calédonie en 2013. L’établissement de ce phytopathogène exotique est préoccupant compte tenu de l’importance environnementale occupée par les Myrtaceae dans les écosystèmes de l’archipel. L’objectif appliqué de cette thèse est de mettre en place une stratégie de lutte permettant à la fois de contrôler l’expansion du pathogène en milieu naturel, et dans[ les ]pépinières productrices de Myrtaceae.Dans une première partie, nous allons mettre en évidence l’importance de l’impact d’A. psidii en termes d’étendue géographie, de gamme hôte et de sévérité des symptômes induits. Ces informations sont primordiales pour cibler spécifiquement les priorités de conservations des espèces et préservation des milieux les plus touchés. Les résultats montrent qu’A. psidii impacte un large panel d’espèces de Myrtaceae sur le territoire. Les variations dans la sévérité des symptômes exprimés entre individus d’une même espèce suggèrent la possibilité d’engager une lutte intégrée axée sur la sélection de caractères liés à la résistance à cette maladie.Dans une seconde partie, nous tenterons d’identifier des marqueurs génétiques permettant de discriminer les individus en fonction du phénotype de résistance qu’ils expriment face à l’infection causée par la rouille. C’est ainsi que via une approche RNA-Seq, combinant à la fois une analyse de différentiel d’expression des gènes et la recherche de variants nucléotidiques directement positionnés sur des parties codantes des génomes de plantes concernées, nous sommes parvenus à identifier des gènes candidats discriminants pour les caractères résistants vs sensibles chez des espèces de Myrtaceae locales connues pour leurs caractères patrimonial, économique, ou encore écologique. Parmi ces gènes candidats certains admettent des fonctions connues impliquées dans les mécanismes de résistance aux pathogènes.

▼ How legislators behave and how cohesively parties act are influenced, to a great extent, by the institutional environment within which they operate. While most research has regarded each institution separately, this dissertation project seeks to theorize and to empirically examine the complex institutional context that affects legislators' behavior and representation styles. I specifically shed light on how electoral systems and intra-party candidate selection processes, separately and in combination, influence how much legislators emphasize their unique individualistic behaviors at the expense of their parties' collective unified reputations. I argue that electoral systems and candidate selection procedures conditionally structure the incentives and institutional environment within which a legislator operates. Chapter 2 presents a theoretical/conceptual distinction between electoral systems and intra-party candidate selection processes and critiques the current literature that usually amalgamates them into a single factor. I further justify this distinction by empirically showing the lack of a strong association between the two institutions. Chapter 3 presents my theory concerning the distinct and combined conditional effect of electoral systems and selection processes on legislators' behavior. I support my assertions using party-level models that use Rice cohesion scores and Weighted Rice cohesion scores as outcome variables. Chapter 4 tests my theory using individual level analysis which uses the ideological distance of a legislator from the median position of his or her party as a measure of behavior. To this end, I have collected a number of unique data sets that include information about parties' candidate selection processes, parties' cohesion measures, and individual legislators' ideological distances. Using these original data sets, I can support my theory concerning the conditional combined effect of electoral systems and intra-party candidate selection processes on legislators' behavior.

▼ The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate the genetic control of beef quality in a commercial population of Aberdeen Angus-sired cattle with a view to trait improvement. The population studied included 500 Angus-cross animals, all with purebred Aberdeen Angus sires, from a selection of farms throughout Scotland. A number of carcass-related weight traits and taste panel assessed sensory traits were measured on these animals. A population of 265 Charolais cross cattle (all with purebred sires) was then used to explore the extrapolation of results across breeds. The first aim of this thesis was to investigate heritabilities for important carcass and meat quality traits and to assess the quality of a number of taste-panel derived meat quality traits by calculating three consistency statistics. Consistency statistics (parameter range 0 to 1) for the taste panel traits were moderately high, particularly for panel member consistency and reproducibility, with values ranging from 0.48 to 0.81 and 0.43 to 0.73, respectively. Estimated heritabilities were low for most of the sensory taste-panel-evaluated traits, where the maximum value was 0.16 for overall liking, but were higher for carcass traits where carcass weight heritability was 0.7. To perform these analyses it was first necessary to confirm paternity using a number of genetic markers. Therefore, a comparison of the power of both microsatellite and SNP markers for paternity exclusion was carried out to determine the more effective method. Results indicated that approximately three times as many SNP markers than microsatellite markers were required for parentage exclusion, and a panel of 15 microsatellite markers was used to assign paternity before subsequent data analysis was carried out. The remaining aims of this thesis centred on exploring genetic markers for carcass and meat quality. Firstly, the Angus animals were genotyped for the del11 myostatin mutation which was found to be segregating at a relatively low frequency (0.04) and was shown to be associated with a 17.4 kg increase in carcass weight (P < 0.05) in the heterozygous animals when compared to the homozygous wild-type animals. By analysing the haplotype associated with the mutant allele, it was determined that there have been at least two separate introductions of the mutant allele into the Aberdeen Angus breed. A number of SNPs were also tested for their effects on the carcass and meat quality traits in the Angus animals. The SNPs fell into two groups: eight that have been incorporated into commercially available tests and a further 28 from alternative candidate genes that have effects in different breeds and species. In total, 17 SNPs significantly affected at least one of the traits measured. Of these significant associations, a number have been seen previously, such as the association between calpain and tenderness (P = 0.01) and growth hormone and eye muscle area (P = 0.05), and some of which were novel, such as the association between growth hormone receptor and steak odour (P = 0.02) and…

▼ The acknowledgement of the existence of stress changes in the reservoir due to production from a propped-open fracture has resulted in the development of a new concept: oriented or altered-stress refracturing. By initiating a secondary fracture perpendicular to the initial fracture, refracturing makes it possible to access higher pressurized regions of the reservoir, thus improving the productivity of the well. The redistribution of stresses around a fractured vertical well has two sources: (a) opening of propped fracture (mechanical effects) and (b) production or injection of fluids in the reservoir (poroelastic effects). The coupling of both phenomena is numerically modeled to quantify the extent and timing of stress reorientation around fractured production wells. Guidelines and type-curves are established that allow an operator to choose the timing of the refracture operation in the life of the well, and evaluate the potential increase in well production after refracturing. The selection of candidate wells for refracturing is often very difficult based on the information available at the surface. We propose a systematic methodology, based on dimensionless groups, that allows a field engineer to evaluate a well's potential for refracturing from an analysis of field production data and other reservoir data commonly available. This analysis confirms the crucial role played by stress reorientation in the success of refracturing operations. Another topic of interest is the multi-stage fracturing of horizontal wells. The opening of a propped transverse fracture causes a reorientation of stresses in its neighborhood, which in turn affects the direction of propagation of subsequent fractures. This phenomenon, often referred to as stress shadowing, can negatively impact the efficiency of each fracturing stage. By calculating the trajectory of multiple transverse fractures, we offer some insight on the completion designs that will (a) minimize fracture spacing without compromising the efficiency of each fracturing stage and (b) effectively stimulate natural fractures in the vicinity of the created fracture. In addition, a novel detection method of mechanical interference between multiple transverse fractures is established, based on net fracturing pressure data measured in the field, to calculate the optimum fracture spacing for a specific well.

▼ With the need for college graduates to be competitive in a global economy, it is both critical and timely to gain insight into what employers want and what might characterize a successful candidate who is prepared for the current job market. This study investigated recruiters’ selection of candidates for employment, with an eye toward whether the experience of study abroad advantages them in the process of being evaluated for positions in business, education, or government/non-profit/social service organizations. This dissertation employed an analogue design in which study abroad length and location, along with internship experience, were rotated systematically through a series of profiles, evoking recruiter-generated ratings and rankings for each pseudo-candidate as to the likelihood of being invited for a subsequent interview. Independent variables included candidate profile factors and characteristics related to recruiter gender, study abroad experience, position level, and organizational type. Quantitative data were examined through frequencies, chi-squares, and two-way analyses of variance for effects of the independent variables on candidate evaluations submitted. Additionally, recruiters’ comments about factors influencing their decisions were solicited and categorized for thematic patterns and insights. Among the findings were two principal outcomes. First, candidate profiles featuring study abroad experiences, in addition to relevant internships, were rated and ranked the highest among peers in recruiters’ evaluations, with preference being given to long-term, Western experiences. Second, however, some variation in these evaluations was related to differences in the study abroad experience itself, as well as recruiter characteristics. Overall, the effect of study abroad on recruiters’ evaluations of candidates was simply one part of a complex of other considerations. Students have a number of options for increasing their marketability to potential employers, among them - pursuing an opportunity for study abroad. However, results of the present study suggest that such an experience has only an additive rather than compensatory effect, when considered in light of other criteria, such as relevant internship experience. Nevertheless, completion of an international encounter is clearly an important factor in a candidate’s evaluation, but only one among others of equal if not higher value in determining who is selected eventually for a subsequent interview.

▼ The phenomenon of Puerto Rican voting has long bewildered political analysts and pundits. Puerto Rico has virtually the same formal institutional arrangements as the United States, yet turnout rates in Puerto Rico have been consistently higher since 1972 and its voting and registration laws have been historically more stringent and inflexible than those in the United States. By comparing two countries with such similar institutional settings I focus on the differences between them and study more closely the factors affecting turnout in each. Why then do Puerto Ricans vote at higher rates than Americans do? The answer lies in the political parties and the culture. Puerto Rican political parties are more disciplined than those in the US. Affiliation rates in Puerto Rico are higher than on the mainland. Parties in PR are dominant institutions, mobilizing people to vote irrespective of demographic variables. While in the US demographic variables such as age, education and income exert a strong influence on turnout, in Puerto Rico only age affects the probability of voting. Political patronage and status preferences (independence, federal statehood or Commonwealth, the current status) are also significant in affecting voting turnout. The political culture in the Island is also conducive to voting. It is similar to nineteenth century American political environment. People are surrounded by what some researchers have called the culture of the vote. This culture favors voting above all other options of political participation. Voting is perceived not only as necessary but as the only legitimate way available to participate and influence government. Finally, I also study why Puerto Ricans vote the way they do. To do this I focus on the historic 1996 general election in which incumbent governor Pedro Rossello won by a landslide. In this election, personal, performance and economic evaluations had a significant impact on the vote choice. Age was also an important variable. Young people favored the incumbent governor over opposition candidates. Above these variables, however, partisan affiliation accounted for much of the variation in the vote. This dissertation makes use of several data sources. To study voting turnout in Puerto Rico, I used an island-wide survey conducted by the Hispania Research Corporation in 1991. The data from this survey were compared with the 1988 American National Election Study. To study the voting patterns of Puerto Ricans I used the 1996 General Election Exit Poll, by Walter Diaz and Luis R. Camara of the University of Puerto Rico. This survey contains 511 interviews collected in the cities of San Juan and Mayaguez. The data from this survey were compared with the those from 1992 American National Election Study. These data were complemented by six in-depth interviews with campaign workers in Puerto Rico. These campaign workers, two from each of the main political parties, actively participated in campaign events during the 1992 and 1996 general election.
