summary:
  Pull tests were performed after thermal shock testing, and it was found that during the first 200 thermal shock cycles, the pull force at failure drops significantly, but has little effect on the tensile strength of copper. The adhesion between copper and oxide is more vulnerable to thermal shock testing, and cracks were observed in the sidewall SiO2 isolation layer after thermal shock testing.

summary:
  For example, the spatial orientation of an object relative to the subject who sees it can make a difference to her experience, and some naïve realists have argued that this is grounds for construing visual experience not as a two-place relation between a subject and an object, but as a three-place relation between a subject, an object, and the subject's standpoint on the object. I argue that the former conception of visual experience can account for all of the facts that allegedly militate in favor of the latter conception.

  Considering that for this range of exponents the gRO equation is well-posed with continuous dependence on initial data, this result makes the continuity of the solution map an optimal property. It is shown that the data-to-solution map for the generalized reduced Ostrovsky (gRO) equation is not uniformly continuous on bounded sets in Sobolev spaces on the circle with exponent s > 3/2.

Italian films critiqued the urban politics of the Christian Democrats by offering a counternarrative to the positive image presented on television and in other media.

But scholarship on the matrix of beliefs, texts, practices and communities that comprise religion frequently ignores the central figure of the Christian faith: Jesus.

  Analyzing ARF6 and Non-Exosomal Extracellular Vesicles in the Context of Macrophages Infected with M. tuberculosis

summary:
  The objective of this project centers around two major aims: 1) characterizing the role of ARF6 in host signaling and phagosome-lysosome fusion in macrophages upon M.tb infection and 2) characterizing both composition and function of microvesicles after infection. Exosomes have been well characterized in the context of mycobacterial infection; however, macrophages also release microvesicles, which are derived from the budding of the plasma membrane, and these vesicles have not been characterized in this manner.

  'Have You Seen, Son of Man?': Preliminary Studies in the Translation and Vorlage of LXX Ezekiel 40-48

summary:
  Based on this principle, analysis of the Vorlage of LXX Ezekiel 40-48 concludes that it preserves numerous secondary readings that harmonize Ezekiel's final vision with his earlier ones and thereby interpret Ezekiel in terms of the prophet's unique theology. On the other hand, a number of modernizing supplements bring the Hebrew text of Ezekiel 40-48 into conversation with developing Palestinian merkabah traditions (LXX Ezek 43:2-3) and the architecture of the Second Temple (LXX Ezek 40:38-40).

summary:
  Comparison of the measured ISGMR strengths with Random Phase Approximation calculations demonstrates that the molybdenum nuclei have ISGMR energies which are overestimated to a similar degree as seen in the tin and cadmium nuclei, while the strength of 208Pb is precisely reproduced. One of the isoscalar compressional modes -- namely, the isoscalar giant monopole resonance (ISGMR) -- has been studied extensively with the goal of constraining the density dependence of the equation of state (EoS) for infinite nuclear matter.

summary:
  This dissertation seeks to develop the outline of an Augustinian approach to ethics by bringing Augustine into contact with contemporary reflections on practical reason. The dissertation articulates an Augustinian understanding of practical reason by discussing ways that these debates can benefit from Augustine's insight that all exercises of practical reason which fail to recognize that the human heart is restless until it rests in God are self-defeating.

  The Organ Masses of Gaston Litaize (1909-1991): The Culmination of a Twentieth-Century Liturgical Genre

summary:
  In order to contribute to a wider appreciation of Litaize's musical influence and legacy, this project focuses on his liturgical music for organ in three of his organ Masses: the Grande Messe pour tous les temps, 1948; the Messe basse pour tous les temps, 1949; and the Messe de la Toussaint, 1964. Litaize's effortless facility with complex compositional devices, especially fugue and canon, also marks him as the heir to the contrapuntal tradition of organ music in France.

summary:
  A common assumption is that a violent environment produces violent youth; this project interrogated this assertion in two ways examining if exposure to intergroup antisocial behavior increases youth aggression, and in turn, if changes in general youth aggression are related to participation in intergroup conflict. Regarding the continuation of intergroup conflict, being female and having a more cohesive family negatively predicted youth participation in sectarian acts, whereas the trajectory of general aggression (i.e., intercepts and linear slopes) predicted significantly more youth engagement in out-group antisocial behavior.

The central character driving the narrative is a relatively obscure officer, George W. Cole, who gained modest fame in central New York for leading a regiment of black soldiers under the controversial General Benjamin Butler, and, later, for killing his attorney after returning home from the war.

The scavenging of trapped holes by reduced oxygen radicals was enabled only in the presence of IrO2, and this scavenging occurred on a timescale approximately 1000 times faster than that of water oxidation, which means that it represents a serious obstacle to developing a water photolysis system that does not rely on external power input.

summary:
  For perfect 2D crystals such as graphene, this mobility enhancement is only possible at low temperatures, whereas at room temperature polar phonon vibrations originating from the dielectric environment wash out the advantages of using high-Ì_å¼ dielectrics. In this work, the effect of the dielectric mismatch between a semiconductor and its dielectric envi- ronment on charge transport in 1D quantum wires and 2D nanoscale membranes is investigated.

  This emergence calls for a rethinking of fanfiction theory, as fan studies has relied heavily upon Henry Jenkins' *Textual Poachers* for the last sixteen years, despite the fact that it was written well before the Internet stepped in to completely revolutionize the field. After establishing that 1) fanfiction can be accepted as a new artistic medium, and 2) it is in need of fresher theory, this thesis will then offer performativity as another way into the fan-written text.

We prove the existence of congruences between ordinary symplectic Galois representations in two different settings.

  Autonomous detection of desired events from large databases using time series classification is becoming increasingly important in civil engineering as a result of continued long-term health monitoring of a large number of engineering structures encompassing buildings, bridges, towers, and offshore platforms. The efficacy of this proposed shapelet transform-based autonomous detection procedure is demonstrated by examples, to identify known and unknown earthquake events from continuously recorded ground-motion measurements, to detect pulses in the velocity time history of ground motions to distinguish between near-field and far-field ground motions, to identify thunderstorms from continuous wind speed measurements, to detect large-amplitude wind-induced vibrations from the bridge monitoring data, and to identify plunging breaking waves that have a significant impact on offshore structures.

  This is accomplished by evaluating the liposomal formulation first in vitro, and then further optimizing it in vivo by adjusting the individual design parameters, such as peptide density, linker length, peptide hydrophilicity, and particle size, to achieve maximal cellular uptake while preserving the selectivity for specific target cancer cells. Furthermore, by taking advantage of multivalency in our design and using weak-to-moderate monovalent affinity ligand peptides as the targeting elements, we are able to achieve selectivity by designing avidity for cancer cells while avoiding healthy cells/tissue.

  My thesis is intended to study the influence of his teacher, Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck, as well as the historical background, why such motet intabulations for organ were created in seventeenth-century Hamburg, and how Scheidemann arranged vocal motets into keyboard music by employing diverse colors of figuration patterns, which he called colorations (Kolorierungen).The thesis will consist of five chapters. I will examine several manuscripts, including the arrangements of motets in the Robertsbridge Codex of the fourteenth century, intabulations in the Buxheimer Orgelbuch, from fifteenth-century Germany, and Ammerbach's Orgel oder Instrument Tabulaturbuch, a collection of keyboard intabulations published in the sixteenth century.

summary:
  I develop an original theoretical model of choice for program implementation in two dimensions (rules vs. discretion and centralization vs. decentralization), and posit that the choice for the implementation model of direct transfers for the poor &ndash;as a choice between clientelism and rules-based implementation- results from the electoral calculus of the federal government, which is a function of the relative brokerage capacity (partisan territorial presence) of the governing party in the regions where the poor are overrepresented. In the case of Brazil, I find a similar trajectory towards program depoliticisation that warrants, however, a different explanation: the relative brokerage capacity of the federal government in deprived regions also provided for incentives for depoliticisation (with a decentralized implementation model), but not directly as a function PTs territorial presence, but the territorial implications of the governing coalition of Lulaå«s first administration.

  This dissertation's implications extend to the present: despite the contributions of their busy, world-bettering activism to the vitality of religious life in America, the immigrant religious groups I am interested in probably lost what could be a considerable gift to a culture still fraught with racial tensions: the instinct of ethnoreligious minorities that declined to exploit the advantages of their skin pigmentation, but opted instead for a wise provincialism – a position on the sidelines of dominant culture. This dissertation demonstrates that various European immigrant religious groups harnessed the cultural capital and coercive power of white Protestantism by adopting a posture of restless cultural activism and fervent missionary zeal, as well as a view of ethnic boundaries as harmful to proper religion.

  To identify gene expression changes during the ouabain-induced regeneration response, a microarray analysis was performed at four time points during the ouabain-induced damage time course, which included a time point during INL cell death (24 hrs), a time point during maximal proliferation of MÌ_ller glia (55 hrs), a time point during progenitor cell migration (96 hrs), and a 140 hr time point, which corresponds to the initial stages of ganglion cell differentiation. This demonstrates that inner retinal damage, without extensive photoreceptor damage, is sufficient to induce a regeneration response that is marked by the MÌ_ller glial cells re-entering the cell cycle to produce neuronal progenitor cells that regenerate INL and ganglion cells in the zebrafish retina.

  Experimental Studies of Geochemical Reactions that Affect the Mobility of Metals and Nanoparticles of Environmental Interest

summary:
  Three experimental studies will be described: 1) flow-through column experiments to study the effects of NOM on Cd(II) mobility and of Cd(II) on NOM sorptive fractionation in various types of mineral sands; 2) an investigation of influence of pH, nanoparticle size, and nanoparticle concentration on the adhesion of titanium dioxide nanoparticles to silica and iron-coated silica grains; and 3) the use of potentiometric titrations and chemical equilibrium modeling to evaluate the proton binding of bacterial exudates collected from Gram-positive (Bacillus subtilis) and Gram-negative (Shewanella oneidensis) bacterial species. This research focuses on the interactions of NOM, cadmium (Cd(II)), and nanoparticles with geosorbents, as well as the potential reactivity of bacterial exudates, under a range of aqueous conditions.

summary:
  Despite this, little scholarly attention has been given to how safe (or unsafe) the residents of such neighborhoods feel and how their levels of fear vary based on demographic attributes, perceptions of disorder, social relationships, and participation in local organizations. I then turn to the issue of collective efficacy, showing that individuals with higher levels of participation in community organizations are less likely to express feelings of fear, with this effect being the strongest for state-oriented - rather than civic or religious - organizations.

  Monotheism and the Paradox of Intolerance: The Refusal to Divinize Victims and the Mosaic Distinction

summary:
  Discussions of monotheism's political consequences often emphasize either its intolerance of other gods and religions as a source of bigotry and conflict, on the one hand, or emphasize monotheism as a source of pacific, universalistic, transcendent tolerance on the other. I argue that monotheism's intolerance opens up historic potentials that are both enlightening and dangerous: it dissolved the ancient link between God and the political sphere, helped us see past the distortions of divinized politics, and deepened concern for the victims of politics—while it nonetheless makes possible a uniquely absolutist, violence.

  In the short run, this vision ultimately clashed against the Warren Court's embrace of stricter church-state separation standards, while Rome finally let Murray help reframe Catholic doctrine on religious freedom at Vatican II. The conventional story of American Catholics and religious freedom on the eve of the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965) is fairly straightforward.

  Ghost Coalitions: Economic Reforms. Fragmented Legislatures and Informal Institutions in Ecuador (1979-2002)

summary:
  Lowering the liability of coalition parties was crucial because public opinion ratings and the proximity of new elections reduced the incentives to cooperate with the executive. The dissertation develops a dynamic choice model to explain how coalition formateurs enhanced cooperation incentives by expanding the value of coalition benefits channeled through party leaders, and by lowering their partners' liability for making government coalitions.

  Triptycene as an Architectural Motif in the Macromolecular Design of Polyimides for Gas Separation Membranes

summary:
  Polymer membranes offer a more energy-efficient method for separations compared to many typical industrial techniques, such as distillation. This challenge can be combatted at the macromolecular level by strategically designing the polymer backbone to have bulky moieties and/or rigid, tortuous elements to disrupt polymer chain packing and increase the fractional free volume of the material.

summary:
  In this thesis, we perform a shape study of asymmetric magnets for MQCA gate design, and we demonstrate for the first time room temperature operation of a programmable MQCA majority-logic gate, i.e. the basic majority gate, with different length of the driver magnet. Magnetic quantum-dot cellular automata (MQCA) systems are networks of closely-spaced, dipole-coupled, single-domain nanomagnets designed for digital computation.

My interdisciplinary study uses the medieval sacramental theology of double signification to integrate two contemporary conversations in Dante scholarship: the question of how to understand Dante's poetics, and the problems surrounding the presence of medieval liturgy in the Comedy.

  We then demonstrate via a simple toy example that the PMFA procedure is quite general in that it may be used to accurately evaluate the performance of multihop networks with arbitrary topologies. Finally, we identify that when reliable delivery of packets is not very critical, a viable solution towards balancing end-to-end delay and reliability in multihop networks is to have the nodes forcibly drop a small fraction of packets.

MFV is a framework that can lead to a natural flavor structure for new physics models.

  Shifting Science, Shifting Politics: Understanding Conservative Illustrations of the Science Cultural Object, 1975&ndash;2000

summary:
  I document how conservative elites' depictions of science changes as milestones occur in United States history, while also documenting the way in which the discourse grows increasingly nuanced to the concepts of science: how 'science' and 'academia' occasionally intertwine, how depictions of science collide with conservative opinions on journalism and mass media, and how the 'scientific community' becomes estranged from the cultural object of science itself. In this thesis I lay out the hypothesis that the concept of science is a cultural object whose 'meaning' transitioned since the 1970's in depictions by conservative cultural elites.

The fact that the liquid structure functions do not change appreciably upon reaction with CO2 is used to explain why viscosities of AHA ILs do not change much upon reaction with CO2.

  This compares favorably to recent image registration studies, but it also indicates that our implementation only reaches about 70% of theoretical peak performance. To analyze our results, we utilize profiling data to identify some of the underlying limitations of CUDA that prohibit peak performance.

  In Vivo and In Vitro Folding and Secretion Studies of an Autotransporter Protein from Bordetella pertussis

summary:
  Sequence analysis reveals that, despite size, sequence, and functional diversity among autotransporter passenger domains, >97% are predicted to form parallel Ì_å_-helices, indicating this structural topology may be important for secretion. In vivo, slow folding would prevent premature folding of the passenger domain in the periplasm, before OM secretion.

  The bolometric portion of the photoresponse is then accounted for, and the residual non-bolometric response is compared to that found in other doping regimes and time scales. The observed wavelength dependence of the excess conductance is most likely caused by excitations into the conduction band from the filled copper bands in the CuO2 plane layer of the crystal.

summary:
  Though more research is needed on treatment outcomes and their long-term costs before most specific reforms could be prudently enacted, the dissertation argues that certain neonatal treatments are disproportionate with the common good and ought to be foregone. If one takes seriously the intrinsically social nature of persons, a preferential option for the poor, the universal destination of goods, and other like principles, the central thesis of the dissertation becomes clear: though all newly born human infants are full moral persons, what kind of treatments are beneficial or burdensome cannot be seen apart from complex social questions with regard to distribution of resources.

However, recurrent failures within the field of peacebuilding to engage in sufficiently equitable dialogue with non-Westernized understandings of peace indicate an urgent need for new theoretical and practical resources to enable Westernized scholars and practitioners to participate in genuinely pluriversal dialogue.

  These catalytic strategies involving redox chemistry of both transition metals and phosphorus enable a fast and resourceful approach towards the construction of valuable synthetic intermediates of saturated carbonyls, homoallylic alcohols, and substituted amides from the readily accessible starting materials. The scope of conjugated compounds includes cyclic and acyclic variations of ketones, esters, aldehydes, amides, as well as ynones, which contain an extra degree of unsaturation.

  A Multi-method Approach to Understanding the Role of Psychosocial Functioning in the Context of DSM-5 Personality Disorder Diagnosis

summary:
  Furthermore, PD diagnosis can be improved when we better understand the empirical overlap of personality traits, personality functioning, and their consequences. Although the constructs of traits, personality functioning, and functional consequences are conceptually distinct, results indicate the difficulty in making empirical distinctions in many cases, especially through self-report.

  The locally elite independent school is defined as an ideal type, and its legitimating idea and organizational form create the conditions for the appropriation of resources by organizational actors and also for overlapping identities that blur the boundaries between work and personal roles, especially in the boarding school setting. Comparing the predictions of market and institutional theories for reform initiatives, this dissertation finds that a school leader crafts a legitimacy project using both selective isomorphism and market elements, but also that actors in the institutional environment add legitimacy to new reforms while demand-side forces from organizational stakeholders constrain innovation.

summary:
  In each of the major poems, Hebraic righteousness serves as a model for the main characters' actions: In Paradise Lost, the Son reminds the Father that divine justice is also divine righteousness by calling upon Abraham's conversation with God regarding the destruction of Sodom, and Adam and Eve exercise their righteousness through discourse and hosting the angel Raphael; in Paradise Regained, the Son employs his understanding of Job's perfect righteousness and of Moses' mistake to sustain his rebuttals to Satan; and in Samson Agonistes, Samson's development is modeled after Psalmic repentance that requires a belief that a retrieval of personal righteousness is always available through appeal to divine righteousness. Where earlier scholarship has focused on righteousness from a soteriological perspective, I argue that Milton turned instead to the narratives, and the language, of the Hebrew Bible.

  Adiabatic Reversible Computing: Measurement of Heat Dissipation Using Nanothermocouples and Fabrication of MEMS Power Clocks

summary:
  Much research has been devoted to steep devices to circumvent the passive power term and enable a lower VDD, but an alternative approach is quasi-adiabatic reversible computing, which uses adiabatic transitions and reversible logic designs to minimize the amount of heat dissipated, and break the direct link between the bit energy and dissipation. This work describes quantitative measurement of the heat dissipation in an adiabatic reversible shift register and investigation of piezoelectric microelectromechanical (MEMS) resonators as possible clock sources for reversible logic.

summary:
  In Dialogo di Tristano e di un amico, the final dialogue of Giacomo Leopardi's second edition of the Operette morali (1834), the main character, Tristano, comments on how human beings in modernity value more the spirit over the body. Tristano's declaration formulates an important distinction found throughout Leopardi's works: human beings of antiquity were more concerned with the care of the physical body and human beings of modernity were more concerned with the care of the immaterial spirit.

While some politicians attempted to continue the nation's founding protocol of compromising around the principle of unity, others decided that the only way out of the bog was locating a solid foundation—a higher law than the Constitution that could provide a transcendent standard from which to regulate national policy.

  I begin by arguing that concepts of grounding ought to serve as a foundation for understanding the metaphysics of fundamentality more generally (Chapter 2, 'Grounding the Metaphysics of Fundamentality'), and then propose an account of reductive analysis that retains the traditional insight that a reductive analysis purports to describe the constituents of a property or fact and depict how they are structured together (Chapter 3, 'On What Consists in What'). I then argue that even though grounding neither entails nor is entailed by reduction, facts about grounding can be understood wholly and without circularity in terms of facts about reductive analysis (Chapter 4, 'Getting Grounded').

Indeed, placed in dialogue with its antecedents - Ralph Waldo Emerson, Walt Whitman and Ralph Ellison - DeLillo's unconventional late work offers its reader an opportunity for access to the self, advancing agency, facilitating autonomous engagement and autopoesis.

Eighteenth-century writers, I show, were acutely aware of the interdependence of human and non-human beings, and believed that human beings had a responsibility to use nature in a way that would guarantee the ongoing stability of non-human and human life.

  Search for New Physics Impacting Associated Top Production in Multilepton Final States Using the Framework of Effective Field Theory

summary:
  While the results are consistent with the standard model prediction, the extracted limits can help to constrain theoretical models of new physics; interpreted in terms of the energy scale probed by the experiment, the results can also provide information about the energy frontier beyond which new physics discoveries may yet lie. Parameterizing potential new physics effects in terms of 26 dimension-six EFT operators, six associated top production processes are studied.

  Energy-Efficient and Queue-Aware Resource Allocation in Uplink OFDM Systems for Wireless M2M Communication

summary:
  Due to battery limitations of devices in most M2M applications, energy efficiency, defined as the number of information bits transmitted per unit energy, is utilized as a utility function instead of a sum-throughput, a traditional utility function for network utility maximization problems. It is well-known that for a bandlimited communication system, the price for achieving high energy efficiency is delay, i.e. spreading the total energy over a long time interval.

summary:
  Using ten semi-structured interviews of Pakistani Shia pilgrims to Iraq for the occasion of Arba'een, I argue that in this case, local understandings of religion and culture do not change substantially because of three factors: one, the nature of religious practice is steeped in a local idiom of affective expression and can be difficult to separate local culture from religious practice; two, the structure of pilgrimage participation is made possible by local institutions (family, congregations) and structure the practice in global space; three, pilgrims orient their meaning-making processes towards their localities, and thus local space mediates any changes brought about by the pilgrimage itself. Olivier Roy theorizes – from a macro perspective – that in the face of globalization and secularization, religion attempts to become autonomous in a global space and separates from local culture and politics.

  Superconducting vortices and magnetic skyrmions are two types of mesoscale magnetic vortices that arrange themselves into periodic lattices in condensed matter systems. By modelling this hysteresis with a simple Preisach free energy and comparing it with atomistic spin simulations, the activation barrier is found to be several eV/ skyrmion.

  Rome, the first human communion of Adam and Eve, and Babylon; each of them points to one unique feature of earthly politics, and all three together form a whole picture of Augustine's understanding of politics: Augustine's critique of Rome comprises a critique of the triple lust (libido); while Babylon for him is a city of confusion (civitas confusionis); both lust and confusion find their origin in the corruption of the natural communion of Adam and Eve. I argue that we need to examine three communities in City of God in order to better appreciate Augustine's insight on politics, and in particular his assessment of the relationship between the city and the philosophers, and between politics and reason.

  To develop high performance detectors and FPAs, HBDs with submicron-scale device areas are preferred for their high detector bandwidth. Since submicron scale HBDs have high device impedances at terahertz frequencies, lens-coupled planar folded dipole antennas (FDAs) which have a wide range impedance tuning capacity at THz frequencies are adopted in the detector design to achieve conjugate impedance matching for maximum detector sensitivities without additional matching networks.

  The initial-boundary value problem (ibvp) for the m-th order Korteweg-de Vries (KdVm) equation on the half-line is studied by extending a novel approach recently developed for the well-posedness of the KdV on the half-line, which is based on the solution formula produced via Fokas' unified transform method for the associated forced linear ibvp. Replacing in this formula the forcing by the nonlinearity and using data in Sobolev spaces suggested by the space-time regularity of the Cauchy problem of the linear KdVm, gives an iteration map for the ibvp which is shown to be a contraction in an appropriately chosen solution space.

  The 'Mysteries' of the Qumran Community: The RAZ-Concept in Second Temple Judaism and in the Dead Sea Scrolls

summary:
  It characterizes the raz-concept as one that arises out of Israel's prophetic and sapiential traditions, is an important feature of Jewish apocalyptic literature of the mid-late Second Temple period and becomes a central theological and cosmological reference point for the Yahad associated with the manuscript discoveries of Khirbet Qumran. As seen in compositions such as the Community Rule, Pesher Habakkuk, the Hodayot, the War Rule, the Mysteries texts, the Songs of the Sabbath Sacrifice and related works, the content of such knowledge included aspects of both the cosmological structure of the created order and the unfolding of historical (eschatological) time, and such knowledge was evidently guarded by the Yahad as necessary for guiding its communal rationale, structure and praxis.

  The increased share of mortgage loans received by blacks contributed to black homeownership and decreased segregation levels in MSAs with significant black populations. Theoretically, changes in home mortgage lending, which offer more lending opportunities to previously underserved populations and areas should reduce levels of residential segregation.

  The Structure and Formation of Several New Uranium Minerals and the Neutron Structure and Cation Dynamics of the Uranyl Peroxide Nanocluster U60

summary:
  I describe two Pb-bearing uranyl oxide hydroxyl hydrate (UOH) phases, gauthierite and shinkolobweite, from the Shinkolobwe mine in Africa, which help decipher the complex paragenesis of UOH minerals. Important gaps remain in our understanding of the alteration of uranium deposits and nuclear materials, and we can gain insight into those processes by examining the structure and stability of U minerals.

  Noise Injection and Noise Augmentation for Model Regularization, Differential Privacy and Statistical Learning

summary:
  My dissertation includes whiteout in Neural Networks, which adaptively inject noise into nodes to achieve regularization effects and promote robustness; fast Converging and Robust Optimal Path Selection (CROPS) in continuous-time Markov-switching generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (COMS-GARCH) process, CROPS is a Bernoulli NI enhanced Markov Chain Expectation Maximization (MC-EM) algorithm that improves accuracy in both hidden path identification and volatility estimation and achieve ensemble learning and robustness effects; AdaPtive Noise Augmentation (PANDA) in Generalized Linear Models (GLMs), PANDA realizes a wide range of existing regularization effects and also exact L0 regularization with little computational burden through the orthogonal regularization I proposed, PANDA also provides tighter confidence intervals with higher coverage probability for both zero and non-zero estimated parameters under variable selection regularization; PANDA in Undirected Graphical Models (UGMs), PANDA realized both likelihood based graphical L0, I proposed for Gaussian Graphical Models (GGMs) and existing Neighborhood Selection methods in UGMs; adaptive Noise Augmentation for differentially Private (NAP) Empirical Risk Minimization (ERM), NAP-ERM mitigates over regularization issue in existing works, hence improves utility, it also simultaneously achieves regularization and differential privacy (DP) through noise augmentation. As part of the future work, I extended PANDA L0 regularization into Support Vector Machine (SVM), I generalized the concept of orthogonal regularization to realize rank regularization in both multiple response GLMs and Tensor Regressions, I expect the combination of rank regularization and NAP-ERM show high utility while guaranteeing DP, I also expect there to be a more rigorous proof for graphical L0 by using duality.

  This research project on the Gregorian tradition and medieval Franciscan image theory furnishes further textual resources and evidence relevant to the longstanding historiographical interest in the relationship between Scholasticism and French Gothic art from the twelfth to the fifteenth centuries. My dissertation examines the development of the textual tradition of the Gregorian dictum from the sixth century to the Scholastic thirteenth and asks what that textual history reveals about changing emphases in medieval image theory in the Latin West.
