  The present study attempts to replicate and extend this reference study by: 1) determining if action context matching could be demonstrated using a task that was not explicitly cooperative, 2) using a procedure offering a better measure of imitation fidelity, 3) discovering if action context matching would be revealed when employing more than just the two action contexts, and 4) determining if action context matching would result in the facilitation of multiple behaviors if each was context appropriate. Action context matching effects were found in most contexts and across multiple dependent measures of performance.

  Rewriting and (Re)Negotiating Gender: A Study of the Depictions of the Matriarchs in the Book of Jubilees in Relation to Depictions of Heroines in the Greek Novel and Jewish Novella

summary:
  Like the Greek novel and Jewish novellas, Jubilees simultaneously contains images of female characters who defy gender norms, as well as images of female characters who reinforce stereotypically patriarchal ideas about the performance of gender. It also asks whether Jubilees was unique in its elevation of female characters or dealt with them in a manner that was typical of the then literary Zeitgeist.

Al-Ghaz&#257;l&#299;, once thought a destroyer of Islamic science and philosophy, truly helped give shape to a distinct and distinctive style of astronomy as an exploration of God, the heavens, and the bounds of human knowledge.

  Post-Election Disputes in Democracies: Challenging the Outcome of the Election as a Negotiation Strategy

summary:
  Using an original dataset that codes the behavior of runner-up candidates in 180 presidential elections (1974-2012) and 966 years of electoral legislation, I find evidence that, in democracies, losing parties with an unfavorable negotiating position in Congress are more prone to dispute presidential election outcomes, even after controlling for the quality of the election and the margin of victory. The cases of the presidential elections in Venezuela in 1978 and Indonesia 1979 illustrate how the distribution of seats in congress is connected with election disputes.

  Lastly, a novel dual harmonic pitch motion is devised which rapidly traverses dynamic stall regimes on an inter-cycle basis by modulating the static-stall penetration angle. Throughout all results presented, there is evidence that for consecutive pitch-cycles, the process of dynamic stall is affected when prior oscillations prior have undergone deeper stall-penetration angles.

  Effective Field Theory Interpretation for Measurements of Top Quark Pair-Production in Association with a W or Z Boson

summary:
  A measurement of the cross section for top quarks produced in association with a W or Z boson, using 19.5/fb of proton-proton collisions with a center-of-mass energy of 8 TeV, collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC, is extended within this framework to set constraints on the Wilson coefficients of five dimension-six operators. An additional measurement of the same processes using 35.9/fb of proton-proton collisions with a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV collected by the CMS experiment is used to perform a more sophisticated study of eight dimension-six operators and present bounds on their Wilson coefficients.

  The specific objectives of this research are to experimentally investigate, develop and validate empirical models for the effects of: 1) SCM properties and their interactions with the primary mixture parameters on the increase of static yield stress on time of cementitious paste before initial set; 2) SCM properties and their interactions with the primary mixture parameters on the viscosity of cementitious paste before initial set; and 3) concrete mixture design (i.e., cementitious paste rheology and aggregate-to-cementitious paste ratio), building process (i.e., layer-to-layer free-fall height and delay time), and their interactions on the layer-to-layer flexural and shear bond strength in multilayer SCC. This thesis provides an experimental-based quantitative assessment and understanding of the effects of the particle size and physicochemical properties of SCMs and their interactions with the primary mixture parameters (such as water-to-cementitious materials ratio, SCM replacement, and reactivity of cement) on the rheology of cementitious paste (i.e., cementitious mixture with no coarse or fine aggregates).

  A similar analysis is applied to a class of fourth order equations arising in spectral theory. We prove that there are infinitely many asymptotically hyperbolic metrics with constant Q-curvature in the conformal class of an asymptotically hyperbolic metric close enough to g. These metrics are parametrized by the elements in the kernel of the linearized operator of the prescribed constant Q-curvature equation.

  Isotopic Dependence of Giant Resonances in the Even-A 112-124SN Isotopes and the Asymmetry Term in Nuclear Incompressibility

summary:
  Essentially all of expected isoscalar giant monopole resonance (ISGMR), isoscalar giant dipole resonance (ISGDR), isoscalar giant quadrupole resonance (ISGQR) and high energy octupule resonance (HEOR) strengths were identified in these nuclei. We find that the ISGMR energies in the Sn isotopes are significantly lower than the values predicted in recent theoretical calculations even though the interactions used in these calculations reproduce the GMR energies in the ``standard' nuclei, $^{208}$Pb and $^{90}$Zr, very well.

  Optical and Electrical Characterization of Piezoelectric Direct Discharges Generated Using Piezoelectric Crystals

summary:
  The direct piezoelectric effect of non-centrosymmetric crystals, such as lead zirconate titanate (Pb[Zr(x)Ti(1-x)]O3 (0 ≤ x ≤ 1), PZT), offers the opportunity to develop energy conversion plasma sources that remedy the reliance on a high-voltage power source by converting mechanical energy directly into plasma generation. Results show that this plasma shares many characteristics with conventional plasma jets but is not constrained by a guiding flow, so we refer to it as a PT free plasma jet.

  The Eleatic articulates a view of nature which is hostile toward human life; therefore, he argues that the end of political life is primarily preservation. Moreover, it shows resemblances between the political theory of the Eleatic Stranger and that of modernity, which lends credence to neo-Aristotelian critiques of contemporary political life.

  Overall, nutrient uptake rates are sensitive metrics for integrating changes in stream biological activity, and represent a powerful tool for characterizing the influence of seasonal change and restoration on stream ecosystem function. These conclusions are significant in the context of restoration, which often results in changes to the streambed 'landscape' I also used seasonal measurements of nutrient uptake to document the influence of two contrasting restoration strategies on stream ecosystem function.

  Salvation Despite the Death of Jesus? The Cross in the Later Soteriology of Edward Schillebeeckx: African American Christian Female Perspectives

summary:
  The cross in the Christian tradition has been a contested image and symbol since ancient groups began using the cross as a means of execution and terror and especially since a little known Jewish teacher, Jesus of Nazareth died on one around the year 4 C.E. The cross of Jesus, who came to be known as the Christ, and the metaphors used to talk about the mystery of salvation have engaged the Christian community for centuries. To that end, the first chapter offers a broad survey of the diverse ways that the meaning of the death of Jesus has been interpreted in the scriptures and the larger Christian tradition.

  On the Possibility of a Muslim Hermeneutic across Religion and Literature: Imagining a Relation to the World through the Qur'an and the Novel

summary:
  To investigate the possibilities of metaphor for readers of the novel, I offer a reading of Abdul Rahman Munif's Al-Tīh, and Hoda Barakat's Malakūt Hādhihi al-Arḍ, as novels portraying the failure of nation at the individual level, and offering the reader the opportunity to construct metaphors that may both acknowledge and overcome the social divisions that led to that failure. To investigate the possibilities of metaphor for readers of the Qur'an, I first examine the pre-modern exegete Al-Biqāᶜī, and his attempt at reading cohesion in Sūrat Al-Nisā', and show that his search for cohesion through metaphors is motivated by his political perspective as well as limited by it, in that his politics do not permit him the scope to posit the world towards which his metaphors might point.

Work done by other researchers has shown that Si based devices are less vulnerable to background charge offsets, and by utilizing techniques developed for VLSI technology one can make the Si devices dimensionally smaller and hence operate at room temperature and above.

summary:
  The behavior of vortex matter is critical to the applications of superconductivity and the effective control of Abrikosov vortices can lead to higher dissipation-free current carrying capacity (critical current). Furthermore, with the large scale computing methods, we show that the system stability depends on the container symmetry, container size and vortex number.

  93Zr and the stable Zr isotopes (except 96Zr) are traditionally thought to be mainly produced by the s-process in Asymptotic Giant Branch stars and secondarily, by the r-process in massive stars. The main challenges in the AMS measurement of the 93Zr isotope are the separation of 93Zr from stable Zr isotopes (limited by the facility infrastructure) and the separation of 93Zr from its stable isobar 93Nb (one atomic number difference).The development of a technique for future 93Zr AMS measurements has been performed at the Nuclear Science Laboratory (NSL) of the University of Notre Dame.

The ultimate goal of this research is to fabricate the NEAs with three embedded electrodes, of which the middle electrode is specifically designed to be coated with electrochemical blocking layers.

  Furthermore, we use this prototype to show that the coding gain (rather than the spectral efficiency gain) from superposition codes significantly improves link reliability without the need to increase transmit power or bandwidth, opening up the possibility of novel medium access protocols that can leverage superposition codes. These techniques stand in contrast to more traditional orthogonal schemes that are designed specifically to avoid such interference.

  Foundations for an Ecological Theology of Liberation: Gustavo Guti&eacute;rrez's Concept of Integral Liberation, Political Ecology, and Salvation

summary:
  Through a dialogue with the environmental and social sciences and a close reading of salvation history as it is mediated through scripture, I expand Guti&eacute;rrez's concept in order to elucidate a positive relationship between salvation, human liberation, and care for creation. Gustavo Guti&eacute;rrez's classic text, A Theology of Liberation, continues to stand as one of the most important works in liberation theology.

My analysis takes the form of a descriptive reconstruction of moral performance, emphasizing the relation between moral perception and judgment in particular on the interplay between cognitive and emotional faculties in moral perception.

  The Golden Age and Roman Imperial Autocracy: The Power of Myth-Making in Creating Political Consensus

summary:
  The ideological association of the Golden Age with autocratic power did not emerge as a monolithic cultural program as soon as the first emperor Augustus established the Principate; it was the product of a progressive appropriation of the traditional constituents of the myth – peace, prosperity, justice, equity, social equality, harmony of men and nature, guaranteed by the rule of the god Saturn – in literary and material culture, which over time created a symbolism that immediately identified the imperial regime. The chronological trajectory of the myth which this project examines reveals how the rhetoric of the Golden Age came to be a cultural discourse in Roman society, which eventually substantiated imperial ideology.

  This dissertation presents and charts the development of a set of analytic formulas for judging and predicting the effectiveness of adaptive-optic corrective systems applied over finite apertures. This includes some simplified formulas and benchmarks as guides for the minimum requirements a system will need to meet to be effective, and the maximum degree of effectiveness such systems can reasonably achieve.

  Association of Parents of Disappeared Persons: A Social Justice Movement, Beyond Victimhood to Peace Bulding

summary:
  The paper will be an important contribution towards understanding how women as victims of state violence under conditions of occupation can contribute to conflict transformation by advancing gendered claims for human rights, justice, and accountability. With civil society initiatives in general and human rights activism in particular being viewed as anti-state activities, I personally am in know of the immense hardships that human rights defenders face on ground to carry on their activities.

summary:
  In the same study, we illustrated the importance of designing selective DNA sensors based on nonequilibrium, or kinetic, properties rather than thermodynamic equilibrium properties. To avail the medical community of nucleic acid biomarkers, microfluidics has arisen to supplant traditional instrumentation by offering portable, affordable, and simple microfluidic chips which match the performance of conventional laboratory techniques.

  Computational Strategies for Analyzing Dynamic and Heterogeneous Networks and Their Interdisciplinary Implications

summary:
  To this end, we: 1) integrate heterogenous network data and demonstrate that our approach reveals additional information that is missed by simpler approaches such as homogenous network analysis, by exploring a smartphone study encompassing multiple link types and node traits; 2) introduce a novel computational framework for systematic analysis of dynamic and heterogeneous networks, which we use to link individuals' evolving social network positions with their traits, revealing in the process additional links that are missed by simpler approaches such as static network analysis or that have not been studied to date; and 3) introduce the first ever comparison of two complementary types of network alignment methods (local and global) and propose a new algorithm, IGLOO (Integrating Global and LOcal biOlogical network alignment), to reconcile the two, demonstrating in the process the superiority of IGLOO over each network alignment type individually. 3) How to efficiently compare two heterogeneous yet related networks via network alignment?

By closely reading literary and performance conventions, I reveal that the difference between early and late moral drama is best grasped not as the break typically depicted in periodizing accounts but as a proliferation of the spirit of innovation intrinsic to moral drama.

summary:
  DPG can be used to grow networks with desired higher-order metrics (other than the degrees), allowing applications, for example, in epidemic control via network immunization, viral marketing, knowledge dissemination, and the design of molecular isomers with desired properties. We introduce a novel family of network growth models called 'Degree Preserving Network Growth' (DPG), in which new nodes join the network over time without changing the existing node's degrees.

  Two-Component CovRS Regulatory System: Role in Host Innate Immunity Modulation and Bacterial Virulence

summary:
  In addition, the role of CovRS system was also examined in the regulation of HtpA in the AP53 strain. Using GAS strain AP53, which strongly binds host human plasminogen/plasmin (hPg/hPm), this study identified a key role for CovRS in the regulation of opsonophagocytosis of GAS by the host complement system.

  Another idea explored in the present work is that of comparing the complexity of the classification problem for various classes of structures, using the notion of a Turing computable embedding.oindent extbf{Definition}.A Turing computable embedding of $K$ into $K'$ is an operator $Phi = varphi_e$ such that egin{enumerate}item for each $mathcal{A}in K$, there exists $mathcal{B}in K'$ such that $varphi_e^{D(mathcal{A})} = chi{D(mathcal{B})}$, anditem if $mathcal{A},mathcal{A}'in K$ correspond, respectively, to $mathcal{B},mathcal{B}'in K'$, then $mathcal{A}congmathcal{A}'$ if and only if $mathcal{B}congmathcal{B}'$. end{enumerate}oindentThe ordering of classes of structures that arises from this embedding allows us to compare the complexity of the classification problem for those classes. In the present work, we give characterizations for the classes of structures that embed into the class of equivalence structures, as well as into the class of reduced Abelian $p$-groups of various lengths.

Using Matthew Spellberg's understanding of the function of myth, Maria Tatar's approach to fairytales, and Heather Love and Mari Ruti's conceptions of queer refusal as frameworks, this thesis examines the ways in which the repetition of mythic stories primes readers for each novel's culminating moments of refusal and rejection.

  But unfortunately, the gains made into VA development in one domain are generally not applicable to other domains, since the composition of dialogue acts differs in different conversations. Dialogue acts are usually only a few words long, and are divided by researchers into a relatively small set (often less than 10) of dialogue act types, such as eliciting information, expressing an opinion, or making a greeting.

  Scholars frequently consider early modern drama in terms of rhetoric, detailing how rhetorical education influenced the composition of plays, how playwrights employed rhetorical tropes and figures, and how they thought about rhetorical ethics. In dramas that are designed to reveal and subvert the strategies of theatrical propaganda and that employ rhetorical tools like the argumentum in utramque partem (or the argument on both sides of a question), playwrights seek to develop their audiences' political judgment.

  Targeting the Cancer-Cell-Intrinsic Mechanisms to Reverse the Immunosuppressive Landscape and Enhance Immunotherapy in Prostate Cancer

summary:
  Here, we (1) discovered chromatin effector Pygo2, as a driver of PCa and have a significant amplification in PCa patients, induced the de novo resistance to immunotherapy through suppressing cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) infiltration in the tumor area, and (2) uncovered Speckle-type POZ protein (SPOP) and chromodomain helicase DNA-binding protein 1(CHD1) which frequently mutated and deleted respectively in PCa synergistically protected prostate epithelial cells from DNA damage and implied that the PCa patients with SPOP mutation and CHD1 deletion might be susceptible to poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors(PARPi) or DNA-damaging agents and immunotherapy because of the potential higher neoantigen expression. Our results indicated that SPOP and CHD1 could synergistically promote the repair of DNA damage in prostate epithelial cells.

summary:
  In addition, a protease resistance assay revealed the presence of a stable GFP nascent chain fragment with a size close to the size of full length GFP.These results suggest that co-translational folding promotes the acquisition of on pathway, native-like conformations of the growing GFP nascent chains, resulting in high folding efficiency for an otherwise highly aggregation-prone Ì_å_-sheet protein. Importantly, GFP nascent chains that have their C-terminus buried in the ribosome exit tunnel remain folding competent and fold to a native conformation with high efficiency after release from the ribosome; this efficiency is significantly higher than the folding efficiency of chemically denatured GFP.

  The investigation of hyperthermal gas collisions on heterogeneous surfaces using an in situ scanning tunneling microscope

summary:
  The number of nearest-neighbor molecules (within the 5 å¡A lattice distance) is stongly predictive of molecular stability with respect to rare-gas bombardment, and the overall dependence of stability on nearest neighbors is well fit by a simple exponential curve for molecules with 0&ndash;5 nearest neighbors. In contrast, gas-surface collisions do induce structural changes in the alkanethiol film near defects, domain boundaries, and disordered regions, with relatively larger changes observed for xenon-atom bombardment.

  A Model-Based Evaluation of the Lateral Transport and Fate of Carbon Across the Terrestrial-Aquatic Continuum

summary:
  I demonstrate that data collected in aquatic ecosystems can constrain vertical gross primary production fluxes in terrestrial ecosystems using a data assimilation approach. The lateral C transport (LCT) from terrestrial to aquatic ecosystems is understudied and poorly constrained within the land C budget relative to vertical fluxes, yet determines when, where, and for how long C is stored.

In this thesis I propose a reading of how Lucan's Bellum Civile responds to its contemporary historical and political environment, the reality of the Roman imperial regime, and offers a reflection on the meaning of writing literature under imperial rule.

  Dynamics of Peptides Bound to Class I Major Histocompatibility Complex Proteins: Implications for T-Cell Receptor Recognition in the Immune Response

summary:
  This study describe methodologies for characterizing peptide dynamics within MHC binding grooves via NMR, using a biosynthetic approach for producing labeled peptide in which the peptide is fused to ubiquitin and a ubiquitin dehydrolase used to liberate the peptide. Using the Tax11-19 peptide bound to the 45 kD human class I MHC HLA-A2 as a model system, it is evident that peptides generated in this manner can be well characterized in MHC binding grooves by NMR, providing the opportunity to more precisely study the role of peptide dynamics in TCR recognition, specificity, and cross-reactivity.

  Radio at War: Literature, Propaganda, and the Emergence of New Modernist Networks During World War II

summary:
  In the process of exploring modernism's second act in the early 1940s, this dissertation also exposes formal similarities between radio broadcasting and literary modernism, namely that radio networks, which simultaneously forge and deny effective communication, act as a fitting analogy for the contradictions of modernism, where authors' attempts to communicate with the public were often thwarted by esoteric forms. This comment on radio's martial power and extensive reach drives this dissertation, which explores the link between radio networks and destructive weaponry, and argues that while there is a historical correlation between radio and war, wartime broadcasting cannot simply be categorized as a weapon for disseminating nationalist propaganda.

  Many historians have tried to explain why economic reform movements and mass working-class political movements failed to curb the excesses of industrialization in the United States during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Antimonopolism in the Gilded Age often depended on Catholics, so the A.P.A.'s commitment to opposing both corporations and the Catholic Church fractured other antimonopoly political movements and organizations.

  This dissertation explores the doubts of the disciples in the post-resurrection scenes of the four canonical Gospels contained in the New Testament. It is striking that the Gospels all include this ostensibly negative moment in their texts but differ in the precise details of what happened.

  In the context of engineering and science, nonlinear dynamic models often involve uncertain quantities. For example, in an initial value problem (IVP) described by a system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs), the initial conditions may be uncertain, and there may be uncertain parameters in the ODE model.

  Dissociation as a Cross-Cutting Dimension: Relations with Affectivity, Personality, and Psychopathology

summary:
  At the multivariate level, Depersonalization/Derealization was adaptive for normal-range personality, yet related to several maladaptive personality traits and uniquely predicted psychotic disorder; Fantasy was adaptive via positive affectivity and extraversion, yet predicted antagonistic maladaptive traits and uniquely predicted manic episodes. Overall dissociation and Memory Disturbances were found to be cross-cutting symptom dimensions, at both the bivariate and multivariate levels; for example, it was related to low positive affectivity and high negative affectivity; Neuroticism (strongly), most maladaptive personality traits, and virtually all diagnoses (including internalizing, externalizing, and oddity).

  The Non-P Jacob Story (Genesis 25–36) in the Neo-Babylonian Period: Its Composition and Its Theological Meaning

summary:
  The pro-Shechem materials are later and accommodate proto-Samaritan worship (Gen. 35:2aβ–b, 4, 6*); the anti-Shechem materials are later still and reflect a period of animosity between the Judean and Samaritan Yahwistic cults (Gen. 33:19–34:31; 35:5, along with Gen. 33:17).Finally, we offer new possibilities for the theological meaning of the non-P Jacob story given a Neo-Babylonian time of composition. This study will argue that Gen. 28:10–22 was composed in the Neo-Babylonian period from exile in Babylonia, perhaps during Nabonidus's reign (556–539 BCE).

I argue that the pattern of stunted development, of protagonists constantly growing up not into but away from Irish society, is the sign of the individual's struggle with the postcolonial Irish state that is also struggling to be decolonized and to become modern.

  Socialist Ideology Legacy in a Chinese State-Owned Bank: From Red Engineers, to Colorless Cats, to Pink Bankers

summary:
  Through empirically examining the exposure effects of socialist ideology on different generations of bureaucrats with semi-structured interviews, I found that socialist ideology influences individual attitudes differently by cohorts. The red engineers born in the 1950s and 1960s are staunch socialists; the colorless cats born in the 1970s and 1980s absorbed the state's nominal socialist attitude but practiced capitalist ideas as encourage by the state; and the pink bankers born in 1990s subscribe to socialist attitudes for both nominal legitimacy and organizational operations less relevant to their personal interests.

summary:
  Assessments included mothers' and fathers' depressive symptoms and family emotional expressiveness when their adolescent children were in 7th grade, interparental and family conflict and emotional insecurity when the adolescents were in 8th grade, and adolescents' internalizing and externalizing problems in 9th grade. Guided by the family systems theory (Cox & Paley, 1997) and emotional security theory (Davies & Cummings, 1994), the present study examines multiple mediators linking parental depressive symptoms and adolescent behavior problems.

For the IL process, the energy consumption is much lower than that of sulfolane process, but more ILs need to be explored to increase the product purity.

  Studies of Light Illumination and Substrate Material Effects on Aluminum Single Electron Transistors: Towards an Understanding of Background Charge

summary:
  Among the most important outcomes of this study is the realization of the significant influence that the substrate material has on SET devices. Based on the results of this study, we developed a fabrication processes for producing SETs on wide bandgap insulating substrates (quartz and sapphire), and the fabrication of metal shields on top of the SET devices (which demonstrates the possibility of post-processing of SETs).

summary:
  Bioavailability of Fe associated with mineral colloids, including the clay mineral montmorillonite (MMT; Chapter 5) and two phases of the nanomineral ferrihydrite (Fh; Chapter 6) was also investigated in abiotic dissolution and biotic growth/Fe acquisition experiments. These biotic experiments confirmed the bioavailability of NOM-bound Fe and further demonstrated that while siderophores can be useful for Fe acquisition from NOM, they are not required, most likely because P. mendocina has a cell-associated reductant with the potential to reduce NOM-bound Fe.

This thesis argues that Plato's Republic provides an outline of conversion to the philosophic way of life, and in doing so founds a new kind of community that is distinct from the political community and its way of life &mdash; the philosophic community.

  Evaluative Ratings and Gender: The Dynamics of Assessing Employee Performance in Three Organizations in the Uruguayan's Public Sector

summary:
  This strategic use of organizational rules is rooted in the lack of fit between the institutional basis of the performance appraisals and supervisors' own assessments of the workplace, including the impact of ratings on their work groups, thus calling attention to the political nature of personnel management. As a determinant of inequality, I conclude that the political nature of organizational rules is a crucial factor in light of increasingly gender-integrated workplaces and continual managerial reforms of public bureaucracies.

  Given a model with a good overall fit, it is entirely possible for the targeted effects of interest to have very wide confidence intervals, thus giving little information about the magnitude of the population targeted effects. With the goal to obtain sufficiently narrow confidence intervals for the model parameters of interest, sample size planning methods for SEM are developed from the accuracy in parameter estimation approach.

  New Algorithms for Treatment Planning and Delivery Problems in Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy

summary:
  Our main ideas are to exploit the underlying geometric and combinatorial properties of the problems and transform them into graph problems such as shortest paths, optimal matchings, maximum flows, multicommodity demand flows, or linear programming problems. In this thesis, we study a set of combinatorial and geometric problems that arise in IMRT planning and delivery: (1) the 3-D static leaf sequencing (SLS) problem, whose goal is to deliver the prescribed IMs in the minimum amount of time; (2) the 3-D static leaf sequencing with error control problem, which aims to deliver the prescribed IMs in the minimum amount of time subject to the constraint that no unnecessary machine delivery error is introduced; (3) the field splitting problems, which seek to split a large width, undeliverable IM into several deliverable sub-IMs of widths no larger than a given threshold value such that the total beam-on time during delivery is minimized; (4) the shape rectangularization problems, which are useful in simplifying a complicated continuous dose distribution into a deliverable discrete IM; (5) the coupled path planning problems, which are directly related to dynamic leaf sequencing and single-arc dose painting, an emerging IMRT delivery technique.

According to this Thomistic understanding, honor is reverence exhibited in testimony to someone's excellence, a testimony which seeks to confirm belief in that person's excellence in order to burnish his reputation, to increase his glory of a good conscience, to provoke him to greater excellence, to foster friendship, to unite a community in common life, and to perfect the affections of all towards the honored.

  Initially identified as a linker between membranes and the microtubule cytoskeleton (Pierre et al., 1992), more recently CLIP-170 has been shown to dynamically track the growing end (plus-end) of MTs in vivo (Perez et al., 1999) and enhance MT polymerization both in vitro and in vivo (Diamantopoulos et al., 1999). These sites were mutated and analyzed with several mutants showing altered MT binding- H1 S195A, H1 S204E and H1 6E. Taken as a whole, these results imply a plus-end tracking mechanism where CLIP-170 binds the MT plus end in a phosphorylated state and subsequent phosphorylations cause it to fall off the MT.

summary:
  As examples, three low complexity MTC's with 2-state or 4-state encoders are designed for rates $R=1/2 \sim 3/4$. Simulation results demonstrate that the obtained MTC's have better error floors than conventional turbo codes and comparable thresholds. To exploit the advantages of MTC's with respect to minimum distance and convergence threshold compared to conventional turbo codes, we present a BICM scheme using low complexity MTC's.

  Converting Romance: The Spiritual Significance of a Secular Genre in Medieval France, England, Wales, and Ireland

summary:
  In order to understand the reception of these texts, the use of miscellanies, and to better grasp medieval reading practices, I show that we have to do two things: pay attention to material context and be open to questioning the secularity of medieval romances. My dissertation responds to the work of Derek Pearsall, John Thompson, Julia Boffey, Phillipa Hardman, Susanna Fein, Murray Evans, and others regarding miscellanies and the influence of manuscript contexts on reception.

  'Some newer name than Christian': Confessionalization in Early Modern English Literature, Spenser to Donne

summary:
  The present study demonstrates the fragility of those ideals in the 1580s and 90s by providing a detailed analysis of the politics and ecclesiology of the divided Church in late Tudor poetics, and the impact of confessions of faith on English conceptions of literary form. It argues that the division of creeds and churches in the late Reformation precipitated a crisis in Elizabethan poetics, and that the creation of a poetry able to articulate to the pressures of doctrinal profession marked an important pre-condition for the emergence of a professional authorship in early modern England.

  Our Home a Refuge?: Trauma-Related Cognitive Distortions, Community, and Perceptions of Asylum-Seekers and Migrants among U.S. Military Veterans

summary:
  The current study aimed to explore connections between these variables in a sample of N=101 veterans (87.1% male) across 3 time points, hypothesizing that higher T1 trauma-related cognitive distortions would predict higher T2 threat perceptions of asylum-seekers and lower T2 security in the community; T2 threat perceptions of asylum-seekers would mediate the association between T1 distortions and T3 security; T2 security would mediate the association between T1 distortions and T3 threat perceptions of asylum-seekers; and exposure to psychotherapeutic treatment would moderate the association between initial trauma exposure and trauma-related cognitions, with cognitions lower for treatment-exposed veterans. A post-hoc hierarchical regression analysis using only T1 data, however, suggests some support for associations between higher trauma-related cognitive distortions and lower security in the community (β = -0.53), and higher threat perceptions of asylum-seekers and lower emotional security in the community (β = -0.21).

  Free boundary problems (the time dependent problems are also often known as moving boundary problems) deal with systems of partial differential equations (PDEs) where the domain boundary is apriori unknown. Many mathematical models in different disciplines, e.g., biology, ecology, physics, and material science, involve the formulation of free boundary problems.

  The factors are missing data mechanisms, population moderation effect sizes, sample sizes, missing data proportions, and distributions of predictor X. Influence of adding auxiliary variables is also discussed in terms of estimation accuracy for NML and NMI. My primary interest is to find ways of estimating and testing the moderation effect with the existence of missing data.

  An Evaluation of the Interactions Between Acute Stress, Cortisol, Oxytocin and Working Memory Performance

summary:
  Therefore, OT's stress-reducing (and potential WM) effects may alter the impact of stress on WM performance and levels of cortisol. Separate evidence indicates that hormones released during acute stress (e.g., cortisol) can impair or enhance WM (Wolf, 2008).

  As I demonstrate, in conversation with the tradition of affective piety in his own stories of salvation and redemption, Dante brings important thinkers of affective piety—Augustine, Anselm, Bernard, Aquinas, and Bonaventure—onto stage in the Commedia as characters, who, with their life stories full of affections, and with their expressed affections towards each other and towards the pilgrim, teach Dante about affection and faith. This dissertation examines Dante's ideas on emotions or affects, and the literary, moral, and spiritual significance of affectivity in his writings— in the Commedia and the Vita nova—in the context of medieval affective piety.

Though this paper is written in the spirit of generating further discussions that bring together apparently disparate educational ideas, the scope of this paper's argument is simply to show that there exist foundational commonalities between critical literacy and Great Books programs: that they both work towards the vision of democracy not only as a form of government but also as conjoint communicated experience (Dewey, 1916), support dialectical and inquiry-based pedagogy, and stand for a value-driven education system.

summary:
  As participants in social reform movements particularly in temperance work and in the social purity movement they had become convinced that faulty religious teachings were at the root of modern social problems, and they turned to theology to expose and subvert what they perceived as the centuries-long manipulation of the faith by male translators and theologians. In their woman-centered theological reflections, Bushnell, Starr, and Southard rejected Victorian social arrangements, conventional views of women's virtue, traditional marriage relationships, and the cultural and religious idealization of motherhood.
