summary:
  An example about the development of mathematical abilities is used to illustrate the application of semiparametric Bayesian growth curve models, using school children's Peabody Individual Achievement Test mathematical test scores from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 Cohort. In this dissertation, three types of robust distributionalgrowth curve models are proposed from a semiparametric Bayesian perspective, in which random coefficients or intraindividual measurement errors follow either normal distributions or unknown random distributionswith Dirichlet process priors.

  Optimal Resource Allocation in Wireless Communications Subject to Several Power and Eneregy Constraints

summary:
  It is known that adaptive power and rate allocation is a useful technique for combating channel variations induced by multipath fading in wireless systems. Finally, we consider an energy harvesting wireless system, and study rate allocation policies to minimize a delay criterion, e.g., average delay in the data buffer or probability of overflow, subject to the hard power constraints imposed by the available energy.

  Krylov Integration Factor Method for High Spatial Dimension Convection-Diffusion Problems on Sparse Grids

summary:
  Compact integration factor methods developed in [Nie et al., Journal of Computational Physics, 227 (2008) 5238-5255] provide an approach to reduce the cost prohibitive large matrix exponentials for linear diffusion operators with constant diffusion coefficients in high spatial dimensions to a series of much smaller one dimensional computations. This approach is further developed in [Wang et al., Journal of Computational Physics, 258 (2014) 585-600] to deal with more complicated high dimensional reaction-diffusion equations with cross-derivatives in diffusion operators.

This analysis argues that Apuleius's twists are not universally unpredictable for a Roman first reader, for whom a single word or group of words can conjure up associated concepts and actions Searching for the presence of similar groups of polysemous words in the novel may reveal other instances of hints for the first reader.

  The influence of land use on the role of dissolved organic carbon and nitrogen in stream nutrient processing

summary:
  Previous research has found that agricultural and urban land use can saturate biotic inorganic N and P demand, but less is known about the impacts of human land use on the cycling of organic C and N. By examining each component of nutrient spiraling in streams, I examined how anthropogenic land use may alter stream dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and nitrogen (DON) dynamics. By examining DOC and DON, relatively understudied solutes, my dissertation research has shed light on the complex effects of human land use on streams, the mechanisms behind stream N saturation, and the interactions between the biogeochemistry of multiple stream nutrients.

  Effect of Tool Parameters on Residual Stress and Temperature Generation in High-Speed Machining of Aluminum Alloys

summary:
  Force measurements show that at this speed, on the upper boundary of the range of cutting velocities for high-speed machining not high enough to be very-high speed or ultra-high speed cutting, the role of momentum is negligible and the cutting event is dominated by material deformation, making the fluid model less applicable. Namely, a potential flow solution is used to model the behavior of the material around a tool tip during machining at high speeds, i.e. greater than or equal to 100 $m/s$. It is carefully argued that the potential flow solution is relevant and can be used as a first approximation to model the behavior of a metal during high-speed, very high-speed or ultra-high-speed machining events.

  Influence of multiple environments on tadpole phenotypes: plasticity, adaptation, and conservation implications

summary:
  Phenotypic plasticity is the ability of an organism to alter its phenotype in response to changing environmental conditions. However, the specific impact of these factors on an individual's phenotype depends on the foraging behavior employed by the predator, the type of competition experienced (interference vs. exploitative), and other environmental conditions.

Already in The Structure of Behavior (1938/1942), Merleau-Ponty struggles to define the role of language in phenomenology.

  Through their willingness to retain only a small number of theological essentials and continually adapt themselves to cultural change, evangelicals kept their gospel an attractive product in the marketplace of modern American religion. Campus Crusade exemplifies the contribution of these parachurch organizations to evangelical vitality, the ability of evangelicals to adapt quickly to changes in popular culture, and the theological pragmatism and fundraising prowess central to modern evangelicalism.

  This advice on choosing a state of life illustrates the peculiar modernity of early modern Catholicism, which focused on the individual without jettisoning corporate identity, which held in tension the subjective good for the individual and an objective spiritual hierarchy, and which promoted a religiously-oriented individual liberty in the face of entrenched social and legal norms. The main source bases are works of spiritual advice and pastoral care from the early Middle Ages to the twentieth century, along with religious biographical sources and ecclesiatical records.

  Ecological and Functional Genomics of Chromosomal Inversions in the Malaria Mosquito Anopheles gambiae

summary:
  However, ecological physiology and genetics of inversions in An. gambiae was not well explored, in contrast to numerous population studies of correlation of inversion frequency with ecological and environmental factors. Frequencies of inversions have been associated with multiple climate factors including aridity along transects starting from rain forests in southern Nigeria and Cameroon to arid savannas in the north.

  To Drink or Not To Drink: The Role of Religion and Family in Drinking Patterns Among Emerging Adults

summary:
  Specifically, religious affiliation, organizational religious participation, and non-organizational religious participation each affect consumption to differing degrees. Using data from all three waves of the National Study of Youth and Religion (NSYR), which is a comprehensive investigation into the religious lives of American youth, I argue that religious belief and participation contributes something unique to the lives of young adults that shapes the way they behave in positive ways.

  Assessing the Structure of Psychopathology Using the SNAP and the MMPI-2 Restructured-Clinical Scales

summary:
  The current study aims to contribute to this work by examining the joint structure of well-known measures of 'Axis I' psychopathology, the MMPI-2 (Butcher et al., 2001) Restructured-Clinical (RC) Scales (Tellegen et al., 2003), and 'Axis II' personality pathology, the Schedule for Nonadaptive and Adaptive Personality (SNAP; Clark, 1993; Clark, Simms, Wu, & Casillas, in press) using a series of 'top-down' factor analyses, termed the 'bass-ackwards approach' (Goldberg, 2006). Empirical studies of the structure of personality and psychopathology have demonstrated the importance of hierarchical modeling for extending our understanding of relations among mental disorders, as well as between and among abnormal personality traits and dimensions of psychopathology.

  Utilization of the Conserved Antibody Nucleotide Binding Site (NBS): From Antibody Purification and Advanced Medical Diagnostics to Next Generation Therapeutics

summary:
  This method of crosslinking also has implications in the development of next generation pharmaceutical antibodies by providing a site-specific insertion of functional moieties such as: chemotherapeutics, cell penetrating peptides, targeting sequences for bispecific antibody preparation, imaging molecules, and immobilization of antibodies to various nanoparticle drug delivery platforms, without negatively impacting antibody-antigen binding interactions. This dissertation will demonstrate how an underutilized, highly conserved binding domain located on the antibody variable fragment, known as the nucleotide binding site (NBS), can be implemented for antibody purification, advanced medical diagnostic development and for next generation antibody based therapeutics.

  I show that a model with a binding minimum wage delivers lower Nash-bargained wages than one without that feature, and higher minimum wages negatively affect wages of those for whom the minimum wage is not binding. This finding helps explain why inequality falls as the minimum wage increases: wages are less dispersed because higher wage floors compress the wage distribution both from the bottom and from the top, i.e. they raise the wages of those at the bottom of the wage distribution and lower the wages of workers who earn the most in the economy.

I find that the dual positionality of chiefs as both political and cultural actors, invested with high levels of trust and support from their communities, contributes to their ability to address culturally embedded practices like child marriage, which actively promote violence against children.

  Finally, we experimentally evaluate the role of ENZ substrates on the thermal emission profile of multi-mode optical antennas and provide a platform for engineering both the spectral response as well as the radiation pattern. Recent efforts have also used surface phonon polaritons (SPhPs) as well as the epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) response of polar materials to increase light-matter interaction at longer wavelengths, but this work is limited due to the lack of an optical infrastructure at these wavelengths.

  CAFs are intrinsically resistant to gemcitabine, the chemotherapeutic standard of care for PDAC.Further, CAFs exposed to gemcitabine significantly increase the release of exosomes, which promote proliferation and chemoresistance of recipient PDAC epithelial cells. The goal of this research was to explore the effect of CAF-secreted extracellular vesicles, called exosomes, on the phenotypic traits of PDAC cells.

summary:
  The study reveals a shared theological grammar of wealth and piety which surfaces in three forms: the dangerous or illusory quality of wealth, economic generosity as a form of piety, and economic metaphors for piety. In identifying these features of the relationship between wealth and piety the study explores the conceptual ancestry of Second Temple Jewish and early Christian theologies of wealth and almsgiving.

Comparison of affinity capture using membranes, Affi-Gel 10 resin or M-270 Dynabeads derivatized with AEBSA suggests that only membranes allow identification of low-abundance CAII as a target.

  The much-discussed opening of the Magnificat dedicated to Gloucester Cathedral is a display of Howells' mastery of expressive use of texture, a novel use of three-part, equal-voice counterpoint in his church music, and a stylistic culmination that combines use of texture, expectation, and idiom with the incorporation of lesser-known practices associated with educational music. Thus, a quintessential piece of Howells' mature church music was significantly influenced by the educational music, and there is now a musical explanation to contribute to the current explanations of this moment and the larger matter of Howells' arrival as a master composer of church music.

Over the last half-century mathematicians and physicists alike have done quite a bit of work on the problem of quantization commutes with reduction and its generalizations.

  I reorient our attention to the sorts of whys' that make life meaningful for different cultures, and propel them forward toward particular ends, and not other ends. Put more specifically, I argue that any sociological account of this conflict should be built upon a more empirically accurate and philosophically sophisticated model of human persons and cultures, that does not presuppose narrow or deterministic motivational frameworks, but understands that the why, in the end, is a question of morality - perhaps even spirituality - stemming from our lived experiences as part of human cultures, shaped by narratives and moral orders that tell us most fundamentally who we are, why we are, what we should do, and why it all matters.

  Lab- and Field-Scale Studies on the Fate and Transport of Nanoparticles in Streams: Influence of Nanoparticle Characteristics, Macromolecules, and Environmental Parameters

summary:
  Nevertheless, lab-scale studies are limited in incorporating all the environmental factors simultaneously, including mimicking seasonal variations (e.g., biofilms) and hydraulic factors (e.g., stream bed size and material), thus there exists a need to better understand the NPs behavior in realistic streams. The primary research originality of this dissertation were to (1) elucidate the interaction of NPs with environmental macromolecules (e.g., proteins and natural organic matter) under realistic lab-scale conditions, (2) evaluate the effect of physicochemical properties of NPs (hydrodynamic size and zeta potential) and environmental parameters (pH, ionic strength, and ionic species) on the fate of NPs at the lab-scale, (3) monitor the transport of NPs in field-scale streams under hydraulically controlled conditions, (4) evaluate the effect of natural organic matter, biofilms, and streambed substrate size on the transport of NPs in field-scale streams, and (5) develop a one-dimensional stochastic model to predict the transport of NPs in streams.

  Prior to evaluating the Martin-L f-Chaitin Thesis and related randomness-theoretic theses, in Chapters 8 and 9 we discuss two roles of definitions of randomness, both of which motivated much early work in the development of algorithmic randomness: the resolutory role of randomness, which is successfully filled by a definition of randomness that allows for the solution of problems in a specific theory of probability, and the exemplary role of randomness, which is successfully filled by a definition of randomness that counts as random certain sequences that exemplify the properties typically held by sequences chosen at random. Definitions filling the calibrative role allow us to calibrate the level of randomness necessary and sufficient for certain almost-everywhere results in classical mathematics to hold, while definitions filling the limitative role illuminate a phenomenon known as the indefinite contractibility of the notion of randomness.

By increasing the hydrophilicity of the targeting peptide sequence and simultaneously optimizing the EG peptide-linker length, the in vitro cellular uptake of targeted liposomes was significantly enhanced.

summary:
  The research presented here introduces a new type of liquid mass damper, called Tuned Liquid Damper with Floating Roof (TLD-FR) which combines the favorable characteristics of traditional Tuned Liquid Dampers (TLD) and liquid column dampers, and further examines its efficiency for seismic applications for Chile. This creates a vibratory behavior that resembles other types of a linear mass dampers and a framework is developed to characterize this behavior with a simple parametric description that can facilitate an easy comparison to such dampers.

A review of hymns in the literature of Second Temple Judaism will demonstrate that the Colossian hymn owes a number of features to Jewish modes of praise, including the clear movement from the work of God in creation to the work of God in redemption, key terminology in the hymn which derives from Hellenistic expressions of Judaism, as well as the prominent use of parallelism.

My fourth chapter argues that we need not throw away constituent ontology along with the mainstream views; rather, we can maintain both the thesis that diversity for co-specific organisms is underived and a constituent ontological understanding of hylomorphism.

The author applies an ecological framework to understand how care is mobilized, whereby personal healing grows people's capacity to function in right relationship with one another while the values, beliefs, and visions cultivated in and through these relationships can be articulated onto the social and cultural landscape through community action.

  This dissertation examines the mechanisms that lead to the formation of actinyl peroxide cage clusters, the mechanism of aggregation of actinyl peroxide cage clusters, the photochemical generation of actinyl peroxide complexes in nonaqueous solution, and the electronic structure of the neptunyl peroxide cluster {Np24}. Finally, a mechanistic study describing the formation of actinyl peroxide cage clusters in nonaqueous solvents is undertaken and shown to involve the photochemical of bridging (&#956;2) hydroxide ligands of a dinuclear actinyl complex with concomitant evolution of dihydrogen.

  The increasing interest in wireless sensor networks can be promptly understood simply by thinking about what they essentially are: a large number of small sensing self-powered nodes which gather information or detect special events and commu- nicate in a wireless fashion, with the end goal of handing their processed data to a base station. In the rest of the present chapter, we provide an overview of the research efforts in the field of wireless sensor networks.

  The Relationship between Contentious Collective Action and State Repression: A Dynamic, Continuous-Time Model.

summary:
  Consideration of the multidimensional forms that state repression and contentious collective action can take, the influence of time on the process, and several geopolitical influences acting on the manner in which state repression and contentious collective action interact suggest that these are all important factors that researchers must consider if they hope to gain insight in to the true nature of the relationship between state repression and contentious collective action. Models of the effects of state repression on the hazard of contentious collective action show that, in the short-term, the application of state repression has a dampening influence on contentious collective action, but after a period of seven days, such dampening effects give way to a backlash of contention.

  Chemical Mechanical Polishing (CMP) removes material based on the surface topography instead of a mask, and the integration of CMP in device fabrication has provided us with new possibilities to construct an ideal SiSET.The fabricated devices show that the presence of dopants in the silicon causes Coulomb blockade oscillations (CBO) to be very irregular, which is an undesirable feature for SiSETs to be used as electrometers. In conclusion, we have developed a new type of SiSETs by integrating CMP in device fabrication.

Specifically, I argue that Meyerson is unique for accepting epistemological holism along with a Kantian commitment to the essential oneness of human reason; and defending a distinctive brand of scientific realism along with a Kantian commitment to the essential unknowability of nature in itself.

In the area of dynamic load effects, advanced analysis, modeling, and simulation tools are becoming increasingly important in order to address the non-stationarity, non-Gaussianity, and nonlinearity inherent in hazard related events and their associated structural response.

  This work begins by providing the foundation for a theory of reversible computation by presenting a formal investigation of reversible finite automata and reversible regular languages that surpasses previous discussions of reversible finite automata that were insufficient to allow fundamental and important discussions to be held about the differences between reversible finite automata and reversible regular languages and their traditional counterparts. The discussion is also extended to reversible regular expressions.

summary:
  I find party leaders helped make congressional caucuses more ideologically homogeneous over time by providing party support to ideological challengers and open-seat contestants and thereby significantly improving their likelihood of gaining seats; by targeting resources toward races against moderate incumbents of the opposite party with great success; and by providing party monies to protect their own moderate incumbents at the expense of making those incumbents more vulnerable to seat-challenges and targeting by the other party. In response to this lacuna, in this dissertation I present evidence that over the past thirty years party leaders have helped bring about party polarization in Congress in the way they have distributed party campaign funds to candidates.

summary:
  MDMR, however, is not commonly used in the social sciences, and this is partially due to three key issues that are addressed in this dissertation: (1) the null distribution of the MDMR test statistic is unknown, so the computation of p-values is currently contingent upon permutation tests that can be computationally infeasible, (2) the MDMR framework does not provide a useful measure of effect size for specific outcome variables, and (3) the MDMR framework relies on the assumption of independent observations. The freedom to choose any distance metric to quantify the dissimilarity between these response profiles can result in the relaxation of several assumptions that are commonly required to conduct multivariate association tests.

  We show that vertical magnetization gradients in GaMnAs layers can readily be achieved by appropriate growth strategies, although quantitative control of such grading is difficult in the growth of such layers due to various competing effects, such as Mn diffusion, self-annealing, and diffusion of charge carriers. In this thesis I describe magneto-transport, magnetization, and neutron reflectometry experiments applied to GaMnAs-based tri-layer structures, consisting of GaMnAs layers separated by non-magnetic GaAs spacers.

summary:
  A statistical analysis of government responses to dissent among African countries supports this argument, showing that governments in the domain of loss repress low levels of dissent at higher rates than governments in the domain of gain. Chapter 4 looks at how international actors influence the use of state repression, proposing that the effect of interventions on the use of state-sponsored violence is conditioned on government domain.

  Economy, Empire, and Identity: Rethinking the Origins of Political Economy in Sir James Steuart's Principles of Political Economy

summary:
  Using historical and literary criticism to recast Steuart in his proper social, cultural, and political background his Principles can be read as a policy handbook for smaller nations struggling with political identity and economic survival in the face of the rise of the imperial power of Britain and France. Through the application of ideas from the sociology of scientific knowledge on how scientific communities and canons are formed, the dissertation also places Steuart in his proper Enlightenment context, and acknowledges that his work, which is reliant on local oversight and knowledge, is anathema to nineteenth century British needs for universal economic policies, and, in doing so, explores the political and intellectual reasons why he was written out of the canon of economics.

  Thus it has been frequently proposed by physicists and philosophers alike that decoherence explains the dynamical transition from quantum behavior to classical behavior. Importantly, the following philosophical investigations are carried out by intentionally leaving aside the measurement problem and concerns about particular interpretations of quantum mechanics.

  Zeta potential measurements indicate that functionalized colloids remain negatively charged with increasing ionic strength, suggesting that screened electrostatic repulsion can account for enhanced DNA adsorption in high ionic strength media, despite the possible hydrophobic origin for DNA adsorption in low ionic strength media. Janus particles with assembled CH3-end thiol monolayer on gold-capped hemisphere exhibit negative DEP to positive DEP (n-to-p) crossover frequencies at high medium conductivities because interfacial polarization dominates at low frequencies and conductive gold layer dominates at high frequencies.

summary:
  In line with the clear expressions of the theological and relational aspects of Eucharistic communion in terms of thanksgiving, meal sharing, fellowship, reconciliation, and unity, this dissertation relates these themes to the traditional rituals of communion expressed in Igbo culture, for an enrichment of Igbo Catholicism. Therefore an integrative study of liturgy, faith, and culture, establishes the theological and relational aspects of both the traditional rituals of communion in Igbo culture and the Christian understanding of Eucharistic communion, for a truly inculturated Eucharistic theology.

Results suggest that (i) the EKS recovered dynamics of latent factors and time-varying coefficients rather faithfully; (ii) the GML and the bootstrap worked well, expect for certain parameters in the dynamic model; (iii) the amplitude of changes of the time-varying coefficient played a crucial role in whether the coefficient can be assumed to be fixed and the accuracy of estimates.

  Non-Membrane, Low Temperature and Low Emission Water Desalination Using Directional Solvent Extraction

summary:
  Rather than using costly electricity or high-quality heat for water treatment, the directional solvent extraction (DSE) process can utilize abundant low-quality waste heat from sources like power plant condensers and solar thermal energy to treat a wide variety of water sources, including seawater, brackish water, and condenser blow-down water. RO uses fine membranes and high-pressure pumps, and thermal distillation relies on intensive high temperature thermal energy, making both technologies very energy intensive.

This work shows that LBL coating of aliphatic polyamide AEMs with poly(4-styrenesulfonate) (PSS)/protonated poly(allylamine) (PAH) films enhances Cl-/SO42- dialysis selectivities.

summary:
  It was also discovered that for these HEMTs with non-alloyed ohmic contacts, the conventional dielectric passivation actually decreases the device speed, opposite to the observations for conventional HEMTs with alloyed ohmic contacts, which in turn suggests traps states generated during ohmic alloying are responsible for the dispersion effect plaguing the HEMTs.

  This study explores the theological and textual connections among ancient and modern epicleses, primarily through analysis of a selection of epicletic texts in contemporary Western eucharistic prayers and the theological principles that shaped themÌ¢ âÂ principles derived in part from perceptions of the role played by the Spirit inherited from traditions ancient and modern. Although the location and language of the epicleses incorporated into Western eucharistic prayers during the last half century have varied, many of these pneumatic invocations were influenced at some stage of their development by early models (and often early Eastern models) of eucharistic praying.

  Within this context, my thesis work has focused on the design, synthesis, and evaluation of small molecule disruptors of Aha1/Hsp90 interactions for the reduction of tau aggregation; the development of a novel in vitrosplit Renilla luciferaseassay for assessment of Aha1/Hsp90 disruptors; and the biological evaluation of small molecule inhibitors of tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated protein 1 (TRAP1), the mitochondrial Hsp90 paralog. The work and methodologies described herein have provided a foundation for the evaluation of small molecule modulators of these specific Hsp90 networks, with the goal of identifying compounds that exhibit increased efficacy and potency toward their biological targets.

  Top Pair Differential Cross Section Measurement in the Muon+Jets Channel at &radic;s=8 TeV with the Compact Muon Solenoid

summary:
  The following dissertation describes the measurement of the top pair differential cross section in the semi-leptonic, &mu;+jets, channel taken with respect to the invariant mass of the top pair system. The top pair differential cross section with respect to the invariant mass was found, within uncertainties, to agree well with the leading theoretical models.

In language production, it has been shown that lemmas that share overlapping semantic features cause interference for each other's production when encoded in the same local context.

  The Two Tablets: The Intellectual Origins and Original Understanding of the Religious Liberty Provisions

summary:
  The author argues that the Americans who ratified the First Amendment conceived of liberty of conscience and understood the religious liberty provisions primarily in terms of a set of beliefs and concepts expressed in terms of a religious strain of discourse, and based on a new understanding of scripture that had been worked out over hundreds of years prior to the Revolution. The convergence of these two strains of discourse around the shared concept of liberty of conscience made possible the consensus principle that the religious liberty provisions were understood to embody by the Americans who ratified them.

  Understanding the Extrinsic Disability Associated with Personality Disorder: Conceptual, Terminological, and Empirical Challenges

summary:
  However, the literature lacks clarity in both its theoretical conceptualization of extrinsic disability constructs, particularly as they relate to disorder constructs, and also the empirical measurement of extrinsic disability. Although several studies have examined relations between personality pathology and its associated extrinsic disability, these studies rarely include a comprehensive assessment of both maladaptive personality traits and measures of extrinsic disability; moreover, studies of the DSM-5 Section III alternative dimensional PD model, with its component of impairment in personality functioning, are still developing.

If the Church can reacquaint itself with its lost values, it can simultaneously restore both its own internal culture, and aid in the restoration of art, architecture and other cultural activities inside and outside of the Church.

  To further enhance the capabilities of GaN-based electronics, work in two main directions has been pursued: low-loss interconnects for GaN-on-Si monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs) and GaN IMPATT diodes as novel high power microwave and mm-wave sources. In terms of future work, the demonstration of functional GaN IMPATT diodes and oscillators based on them is proposed.

  Solution and Aggregation Behavior of the U60 Nanocluster and Post-Detonation Nuclear Forensic Analysis of Trinitite

summary:
  Subsequently, complementary dynamic light scattering (DLS), electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS), small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), and ultra-small angle X-ray scattering (USAXS) studies have been conducted to examine the solution and aggregation behavior of the U60 nanocluster. This dissertation examines two areas of active research: 1) solution and aggregation behavior of uranyl peroxide nanosclusters, and 2) post-detonation nuclear forensic analysis of trinitite.

  This dissertation, titled ''There Were Also Many Women There': Roman Catholic Lay Women in the American Liturgical Movement,' re-examines the narrative of the liturgical movement by focusing on this complex era of liturgical reform and the practical, spiritual, and intellectual engagement of lay, non-religious women with liturgical worship within the mid-twentieth century American Roman Catholic Church. A study of this nature offers a fresh perspective by recovering the integral role which lay women played in the development of liturgical life, including social action, education, worship practice, and familial activity.

In particular, social networks have the empirically observed property of assortativity by degree: a given individual is more likely to be connected to another individual with a similar number of contacts than expected by a uniformly random distribution of the connections.

summary:
  Discussions of the foundations of evolutionary theory -- especially natural selection, fitness, and genetic drift -- are saturated with terms referring to various kinds of chance, stochasticity, randomness, unpredictability, and so forth. Work in the philosophy of biology (i) often conflates various clearly distinct notions of chance, and (ii) often approaches the analysis of chance from the perspective of a debate (on the causal potency of natural selection and genetic drift) that does not in fact profitably engage evolutionary theory.

  This study answers three questions: how these communities began with similar features and arrived at very distinct outcomes in terms of population, wealth, prestige, character, and other traits; how suburbs, particularly railroad suburbs, mature over time; and how the interaction between these three towns and other suburbs influence their development. I draw upon three paradigms in urban sociology, the Chicago School, the political economy model, and the Los Angeles School, to answer these questions and develop an approach that emphasizes deep studies of small groups of suburbs due to their unique histories, character, and growth trajectories.

  The Seeds of Creation and New Creation: St. Thomas Aquinas and His Predecessors on the Generative Principles of Natural and Supernatural Life

summary:
  Seed imagery facilitates Aquinas' presentation of the totality of God's plan as emanating from the divine goodness, and the importance of the participation of creatures in creation and the supernatural order of new creation. Chapters Three and Four offer Aquinas' analysis of the seminal reasons and how miracles and wonders relate to the fullness of God's plan for creation, including the works of grace.

  Numerical solutions of multi-dimensional partial differential equations using ad adaptive wavelet method

summary:
  We apply the algorithm to simulate the flow in the 2-D lid-driven cavity at moderate Reynolds numbers and in the 2-D differentially-heated cavity at high Rayleigh numbers, and in the 3-D differentially heated cavity for various values of Rayleigh numbers. For time-independent problems, the method is tested on 2- and 3-D Poisson and Helmholtz problems with exact manufactured solutions in order to numerically study the connection between the order of the wavelet, the order of finite difference, the threshold values, and the accuracy of numerical solutions.

summary:
  There exists a complex interplay among routing performance (reliability, goodput, energy-efficiency), congestion control, and load balancing. While goodput degradation is contained at low levels of offered load, at relatively high offered load points Arbutus typically provides a significant goodput gain, as it exploits the inter-dependencies between reliability, routing and congestion control.
