Adoptions and corruption Perceptions: a curve! Katelyn Sack University of Virginia My M.A. thesis explores the parabolic correlation between corruption perceptions indices scores and international adoption outflows to America from 1996-2008. The World Bank and Transparency International perceptions scores proxy for stateness (more rule of law, less bad governance) – and not for corruption in ethically meaningful terms. Then again, corruption itself is defined in terms of rule of law (the letter) and not in terms of ethics (the spirit). Sea waves echoing,

relative comparison why should that evolve? Avi Waksberg Dissertation title: Comparative choice and its fitness consequences in a model environment I investigated the potential for non-rational comparative assessment to outperform a decision-making strategy consistent with the principles of economic rationality. To evaluate these strategies I used a computer model that incorporated several realistic features of choice in the natural environment. This work provides insights into where we might expect animals to use relative comparisons and, correspondingly, where we might expect to see deviations from economically rational models of behavior. light and matter flirt
years pass in femtoseconds a bond is broken Adi Natan Weizmann Institute of Science My dissertation is about quantum control of atoms and small molecule using intense femtosecond laser pulses. Ever since the invention of the laser, physicists and chemists have aspired to utilize its unique properties to control photochemical reactions selectively and efficiently. In the research described in my thesis I have studied and controlled various aspects of intense light matter interaction. In particular, dissociation processes of diatomic molecules, strong field coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) in traces of solids, and strong field two-photon absorption in atomic systems.

Am I who I used to be? Leibniz disagrees. Liam Vaughan University of Leeds My dissertation is entitled “Is there any good reason to believe in the existence of temporal parts?” I work on disproving Leibniz’s Law that for two objects to be identical they must have exactly the same properties, since this fails to apply for one object changing over time. |
