Berry’s phase and the anomalous velocity of Bloch wavepackets by Chong, Yidong

“…By examining the adiabatic evolution of Bloch states in a monotonically increasing vector potential, I show that the anomalous velocity can be explained as the difference in Berry’s phase acquired by adjacent Bloch states within a wavepacket.…”

"Back to the Jungle": investigating rats, grass, scrub typhus, and plantations in Malaya, 1924 - 1974 by Greatrex, Jack Edward

“…In this article, I examine epidemiological research into scrub typhus in British Malaya between 1924 and 1974. Interwar research, I show, explained the incidence of the disease through conjunctions of rats, mites, plantations, lalang grass, and "jungle." …”

The welfare cost of excess volatility in incomplete markets with sunspots by Kang, Minwook

“…Focusing on local analysis that considers small variations around a given volatility level, I show that the aggregate cost strictly increases in volatility even though each individual cost does not necessarily have this property.…”

The fundamental thermodynamic bounds on finite models by Garner, Andrew J. P.

“…When producing a pattern, I show that the minimum dissipation is proportional to the information in the model's memory about the pattern's history that never manifests in the device's future behavior and must be expunged from memory. …”

When Is a Belief True Because of Luck? by Greene, Preston

“…Existing treatments of aptness assume a simple and natural view of luck attribution, according to which the success of a performance is attributable to luck if one of the principal causes of the success is a lucky event. I show that this view is false, and should be replaced. …”

Practicing creationism : science and the new religious practices in South Korea by Park, Hyung Wook

“…This paper aims at offering a partial explanation on how young-earth creationism—which was also called “scientific creationism” or “creation science”—prospered in South Korea after the early 1980s. I show that young-earth creationism came to Koreans, when their country and churches were undergoing a transformation in the 1980s and 1990s. …”

Comparative advantage and strategic specialization by Kang, Minwook

“…Finally, by generalizing the Cobb–Douglas model into constant elasticity of substitution (CES) preferences, I show that if immiserizing growth effects exist, complete specialization could not be achieved for any level of relative productivity.…”

Perceiving outcomes as determined by external forces: The role of event construal in attenuating the outcome bias by Savani, Krishna, King, Dan

“…Based on the idea that a key cause of the outcome bias is people’s failure to appreciate that outcomes are in part determined by external forces, three studies tested a novel method to reduce the outcome bias. Experiment 1 showed that people who construed a person’s interactions with the environment as events rather than as actions or choices were less susceptible to the outcome bias in a medical decision making task. …”

Self-effects and public commitment on social media: testing the cognitive and social influences of sending messages on message senders by Lew, Zijian, Flanagin, Andrew J.

“…Referencing the bidirectional message effects model and identity shift theory, relevant psychological factors and social media affordances were identified and tested across two studies. Results from Study 1 showed that the self-relevance of an experience and people's engagement during the experience predicted greater perceived memory vividness and/or recalled enjoyment of the experience. …”

Standing in the glory or shadow of the past self : cultures differ in how much the past self affects current subjective well-being by Kim, Young-Hoon, Cai, Huajian, Gilliland, Matthew, Chiu, Chi-yue, Xia, Stephen, Tam, Kim-Pong

“…On the basis of past findings on the cross-cultural differences in temporal perspectives of the self, the present research examined a cross-cultural difference in individuals' subjective well-being as a function of how positively they viewed their present and past selves. Study 1 showed that both European and Asian Americans had higher subjective well-being when they viewed their present selves more positively. …”
