Accidental women human rights activists, unintentional advocacy by NGOs and a displeased government
No full text
This is a short piece by activist Rita Manchanda on how consciousness raising and capacity building for Federation leadership led to gains that the government did not anticipate. Although the NGOs were to be collaborative partners, they unintentionally took on a confrontational course as conscious raising and capacity building also meant that the women were asserting their rights and demanding justice. The author discusses mobilisation of self-help group workers in two states of India.

Magnetoelectric control of surface anisotropy and nucleation modes in L1<sub>0</sub>-CoPt thin films
No full textThe interplay between electric field controlled surface magnetic anisotropy and micromagnetic nucleation modes for L10-CoPt thin-film is investigated with density-functional and micromagnetic model calculations. The electric field redistributes electron states near the Fermi level, which has a fairly strong effect on the surface anisotropy, but due to inversion symmetry, the net anisotropy of the films with odd numbers of layers remains unchanged. By contrast, the micromagnetic nucleation mode is spatially asymmetric even for symmetric thin-films with odd numbers of layers. This leads to a reduction of the nucleation field (coercivity) and — for suitably chosen nanostructures — to substantial changes in the hysteretic behavior. In lowest order, the coercivity reduction is independent of the total film thickness. This counter-intuitive feature can potentially be exploited in magnetoelectric switching devices
A Bayesian model for dynamic functional connectivity estimation in the human brain with structural priors
No full textStudies of dynamic functional connectivity have demonstrated that anatomical linkage is related to persistent functional connectivity. Bayesian models can leverage this connection by regularizing estimates of functional connectivity according to the strength of the corresponding structural connectivity. We proposed and evaluated the ability of such a model to recover covariance matrices. The model performed well in a high dimensional, small sample simulated setting. In addition, it exhibited robustness to temporal transformations and an ability to recover simulated data generated according to both discrete and continuous temporal dynamics. Finally, it outperformed sliding window baselines and anatomically un-informed baselines on estimating instantaneous covariances according to out-of-sample log likelihood on two task datasets.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2021-08-01The student, Sameer Manchanda, accepted the attached license on 2019-07-19 at 10:46.The student, Sameer Manchanda, submitted this Thesis for approval on 2019-07-19 at 10:50.This Thesis was approved for publication on 2019-07-19 at 11:21.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #14389 on 2019-11-26 at 13:06:25Made available in DSpace on 2019-11-26T20:49:36Z (GMT).

Multiscale micromagnetism of Co-Pd multilayers
No full textThe interplay between atomic and micromagnetic effects in Co-Pd multilayers is investigated by model calculations and numerical simulations. By minimizing the total exchange energy, an effective exchange stiffness is obtained. The stiffness depends on the superlattice periodicity, on the wave vector of the magnetization variation, and on the exchange coupling through the Pd, which is calculated from first principles (J?=?7.66 mJ/m2). The net magnetic anisotropy, Keff?=?0.71 MJ/m3, which is also obtained from first principles, contains two parts, namely the Pd-Co interface anisotropy Kif?=?0.45 mJ/m2 and the bulk anisotropy KCo?=??0.28 MJ/m3 of the strained fcc Co. For vertical and lateral magnetization variations, we find domain-wall thicknesses of 5.1 nm and 6.9 nm and domain-wall energies of 5.94 mJ/m2 and 6.66 mJ/m2, respectively.<br/
