summary:
  I will then argue that pacifism and just war tradition, given their underlying principles, are morally preferable to the alternatives, and more specifically, that a strong form of pacifism (that takes active responsibility for nonviolently combating injustice), and a strict form of just war (that is willing forego war when it is unjust), are morally superior to other forms. Over time, a number of traditions regarding war have emerged, ranging from categorical rejection (pacifism) to a limited acceptance (just war tradition) to an enthusiastic acceptance (crusading tradition); others ultimately reject the notion that war is subject to moral strictures at all (realism).

summary:
  We compare the properties of the known Type~Ia supernova echoes and test various models of light echoes. If confirmed, this echo brings the total number of observed non-historical Type Ia light echoes to three --- the others being SN 1991T and SN 1998bu --- suggesting they are not uncommon.

  Mission and Communion: The Catholic Integration of Biblical Faith, Greek Inquiry, and World Cultures in the Theology of Joseph Ratzinger

summary:
  Today this inquiry is being raised once more in light of two realities: the experience of cultural pluralism within the universal Church and the necessity of cultural incarnation for the particular churches. Based upon the conviction that all theology is contextual, and therefore particular, contingent, and relative, these theologians claim that the purified Hellenic aspect of the early Church serves as but one example of cultural incarnation and accordingly ought no longer to be enduring or normative for Christianity today.

He wants to instruct legislators how to understand particular societies in order to effect positive change (by making them more secure, free, and prosperous), or in order to maintain a state's goodness once the state has achieved it.

  The Influence of Control on Daily Affect Regulation in Later Life: Longitudinal and Developmental Approaches to Understanding Change

summary:
  The main objectives of this thesis were to investigate whether: 1) there is a daily relationship between environmental control and negative affect, 2) that relationship changes within participants across three waves of data spanning five years, 3) the age of the participant (when the study began) influences the daily relationship between environmental control and negative affect, and 4) global levels of emotion or environmental control influence individuals' relationship between daily environmental control and daily negative affect. Global emotion control (but not global environmental control) moderated the daily relationship; specifically, on days of lower environmental control, individuals with higher global emotion control had lower negative affect than those with lower global emotion control.

  Micro-Fluidics of Micro- and Nano-Colloidal Suspensions: Designing Future Miniature Diagnostic Devices

summary:
  However, successful chip-size devices, even for common applications such as human blood and water pathogen tests, are still not available because of some key technological bottlenecks involving microfluidics of micro- and nano-colloidal suspensions, such as anomalous bioparticle migration due to hydrodynamic forces, insensitivity of many biosensors to low pathogen concentrations and the lack of rapid pathogen concentration technologies. I also developed new technologies to enhance on-chip pathogen detection.

  In particular Hellenistic Jewish sapientialism (Philo of Alexandria and Wisdom of Solomon) espouses a holistic ontology, combining a Platonic appreciation for noetic reality with an ultimately positive view of creation and its place in human fulfillment. On the other hand, Poimandres (CH 1) and the Apocryphon of John, both associated with the traditional rubric 'gnosticism,' draw from Platonism to describe how creation is antithetical to human nature and its transcendent source.

  Within source memory, stress increased survival memory, as well as incorrectly identifying moving encoded words as survival words. If stress impairs survival memory retrieval to a lesser degree relative to non-survival memory, it would suggest that survival information is accessible when it is needed most, in stressful or dangerous situations.

In Chapter Four, I explore how two terms, ingeÌ¡anc and inneweard mod, associate the mind with interior space, and how the metaphor MIND AS HOUSE articulates the construction of that interiority.

This extremely small sampling volume is particularly useful for studying propertied of single molecules at concentrations up to 100 µM.This work seeks to use nanoscale properties to develop new measurements not previously possible with current macro-scale techniques. At nanoscale dimensions, phenomena not observable at the macro-scale can be exploited to enhance chemical measurement.

For decoding of convolutional codes, two novel supercode heuristics are proposed to guide the search procedure, reducing the average number of visited incorrect nodes.

  No matter whether possessing interconnected appearances, those large-scale systems are often mathematically modelled as dynamic networks which involve abundant nodes and intricate rules regarding the interaction among those nodes. Hence, it can be anticipated that plentiful research concerning dynamic networks exist in literature, including studies about graph theories, multi-agent systems and materials' complicated behaviors.

  Novel Algorithmic Contributions and Evaluation Frameworks for Network Alignment with Applications in Computational Biology

summary:
  Network alignment (NA) aims to find a node mapping between networks that identifies topologically or functionally similar network regions. It is hypothesized that MNA might lead to deeper biological insights than PNA, because MNA can simultaneously capture conserved regions between more networks than PNA, though at the expense of higher computational complexity.

summary:
  To relate the gnarling construction to the extremal setting, we prove a local perturbation result showing the existence of cscK gnarled metrics in Kähler classes near to that of a standard product metric on N \ X, providing a significant step towards developing more general openness properties for extremal gnarled metrics. We define and explore various properties of a generalization of Poincaré-type Kähler metrics defined on the complement of a complex hypersurface X embedded in an ambient Kähler manifold N. After motivating interest in a generalization, especially from the viewpoint of extremal Kähler geometry, we construct a distortion potential ψτ V christened the gnarl associated to the vector field V due to its simulation of flowing along level sets of τ in the direction of V upon approaching X. Key subexponential estimates are derived to relate the gnarled metric to a starting Poincaré-type metric, allowing us to prove statements about the volume and integrals of the curvatures of the gnarled metric.

In line with the study's transnational approach, the historical particularities of each of the four countries are explored in detail, and the inclusion of nonfictional texts demonstrates that the social mobilization articulated through the Eucharist is not merely metaphorical or symbolic, since the liturgy has sometimes served as a site of actual historical resistance to violent oppression.

summary:
  This work is motivated by the existence of edm enhancement in relativistic atoms; a novel calculation of this enhancement effect in alkali atoms is presented using a modification of the Furry representation that extends standard screening effects to a field-theoretical framework. The proton polarizability is found to agree with existing estimates using dispersion relation theory, indicating that this effect is incapable of resolving the outstanding proton size puzzle.

  It particular, it appears to imply that causal, nomic, and temporal-direction relations are all extrinsic (and always extrinsic to their bearers), and that the causal and nomic relations globally supervene on the non-causal non-nomic properties and relations. That principle says, very roughly, that scenarios that are patched together from other possible scenarios are themselves possible.

  Hope in Action: Subversive Eschatology in the Theologies of Edward Schillebeeckx and Johann Baptist Metz

summary:
  Chapter One begins by examining the interplay of creation and eschatology in Metz's early theological engagement with mid-twentieth century interpretations of secularization. In tracing the historical developments of their work, the study underscores the important relationship between each theologian's increasingly sophisticated social analysis and the emergence of eschatology as a practical and subversive theological category.

  While those complications may still be promoted by some genetic predispositions, it is likely that their pathogenesis is also driven by synergies between the local mechanical stress abnormalities and the local biology of the leaflets and ascending aortic wall. BMP-4 inhibition on leaflet tissue conditioned under the WSS environment from the fused BAV leaflet significantly reduces the inflammatory response through suppression of VCAM-1 expression.

summary:
  Ultimately, these metal-modified IRMOF-3 templates were synthesized and pyrolyzed to produce novel carbon catalysts. Structural modulation of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is of importance because it can be used to enhance the gas adsorption abilities and heterogeneous catalytic performance of MOFs and their pyrolyzed analogues.

  Much like today's young humanities PhDs, university graduates in the fourteenth century faced a landscape in which the traditional trajectory of the professional scholar began to shift, and many sought to re-contextualize the status and utility of their training within new environments. Unable to procure a shrinking number of benefices, clerks flooded into secular communities and found new occupations.

  This research demonstrated (1) the structural differences between U(VI) uranyl germanates and silicates by introducing new (VI) uranyl germanate compounds with uncommon structural features, like cation-cation interactions and chains of GeO5 tetrahedra; and (2) the potential for structural incorporation to play a role in neptunium mobility in the subsurface by showing that calcite has a higher affinity for neptunium than gypsum during synthetic growth. Here two major themes are presented in which one explores the structural properties of U(VI) uranyl germanates as they relate to U(VI) uranyl silicates and the emergence of cation-cation interactions as a structural feature, and the other offers a glimpse at the behavior of Np(V) and U(VI) during the growth of rock- forming minerals for the purpose of understanding the inorganic controls of crystal growth on environmental remediation.

  Model Selection, Evaluation and Tests of Invariance in Finite Factor Mixture Modeling Using a Two Stage Approach

summary:
  Besides, the single-stage ML approach only allows relative model fit indices such as AIC and BIC, which do not support tests of model evaluation, hence tests for factorial invariance across components are not available. Three studies are included and results suggest that: (1) The two-stage approach identifies the model with the correct number of components more frequently when the model is misspecified or when the distribution assumption is violated; (2) Even when the model and distribution are both correctly specified, the classification-based criteria perform better with the two-stage approach when all components share the same factor loadings; (3) Most provided test statistics for overall model evaluation and tests of invariance across components perform well except for extreme conditions, while the conventional chi-square difference test statistics associated with either ML or GLS methods rejects the correct models too frequently and can not be trusted.

  This paper details the research and design solution that 1) Give food pantry shoppers the tools to make healthy meals out of food pantry options, and 2) Encourage healthier, fresher food donations to food pantries through a donation campaign to support the success of the first goal. To support healthy meal planning for clients of food pantries I designed a system that includes: providing food pantry shoppers flexible, nutritious, recipes that are simple to cook and understand, signage to call out and navigate shoppers to healthier food items within the pantry store, and tools for pantry workers to change and share recipes quickly to accommodate for food available in the food pantry space.

  Interpreting a Christian Classic in an African Context: Pluralism and Inculturation in Light of David Tracy and Leonard Santedi

summary:
  In Africa plagued with violence, war and poverty but also displaying exceptional signs of Christian growth, the dissertation contends, the poietic reception of the Incarnation – God pitching His tent among us – that integrates the hermeneutical criteria laid by David Tracy's critical correlation method and Leonard Santedi's paradigm of the theology of invention constitutes an asset to a new way of doing theology that challenges African imagination, and calls for African political, ecclesial and social transformation. It argues that every reception is a poietic interpretation of the truth of faith that leads to the invention of new expressions of the same truth of faith and a new-mode- of-being-in the world for, by and within the new community that experiences the encounter with the Christ event.

  A Tale of Ciceronian Christians: Spiritual Exercises and Friendship in the Cassiciacum Dialogues of St. Augustine

summary:
  According to Pierre Hadot, ancient philosophers saw the Socratic Method as well as the oratio perpetua (continuous speech) as spiritual exercises, that is to say, exercises of reason (Philosophy as a Way of Life, 59).In the Tusculan Disputations, Cicero used these exercises as a means to become friends with Wisdom so that his fellow Romans could learn how to accept death and form philosophical friendships. Augustine adopted Cicero's Tusculans for his own purpose and utilized the Socratic Method and the oratio perpetua as spiritual exercises.

Preschoolers therefore respond to and learn from age-appropriate literacy-targeted instruction; behavioral and emotional indices are important indicators of individual change in literacy ability; and successful and enjoyable experiences during age-appropriate activities can impact children's perceivedself competence.

  I find that the decomposition of socioeconomic composition effects is a useful way to understand the dynamics of composition effects: a student benefits from attending an advantaged school, but is simultaneously hurt by his lower relative status position. This dissertation analyses school socioeconomic composition effects by decomposing them into contagion and frog-pond effects and analyzes how the strength of these composition effects varies according to the way schools and school systems organize themselves by promoting cross-status relationships, differentiating opportunities to learn and providing information about students' possibilities of greater educational attainment.

  This study of slave speculation in Kentucky expands our existing definition of slave trading in the antebellum South to include the practices of slave hiring and slave catching and also reveals how the speculation in human beings affected the potency of antislavery movements in the Upper South. I argue that instead of slavery declining in Kentucky during the antebellum period, the state's system of intrastate slave speculation, which included the practices of slave hiring and slave catching, provided Bluegrass masters with a profitable and flexible system of circulating enslaved black labor throughout communities and within the state.

  To combat these challenges, molecular level design of polymer membranes to incorporate bulky structures that disrupt chain packing, linkages that rigidify the backbone, and introduction of shape-persistent architectures containing configurational free volume elements is a promising strategy. This tradeoff originates at the molecular level, where undesired free volume architectures (small, indiscriminate microcavities) arising from random chain packing in glassy polymer membranes makes it difficult to simultaneously achieve fast and selective gas transport.

  Risk Assessment and Optimal Design of Seismic Protective Systems Through Surrogate and Reduced Order Modeling

summary:
  In the last decade probabilistic seismic risk assessment, performance based earthquake engineering and reliability or life-cycle cost based optimal design have emerged as powerful tools to guide risk-informed decisions, especially for advanced protective systems whose cost/benefit needs to be explicitly considered for widespread adoption. This goal is achieved through numerous advances: by (i) providing a framework for the calibration/selection of parsimonious hysteretic structural models; by (ii) developing an efficient stochastic search technique within the context of a simulation-based seismic risk assessment framework to support life-cycle cost based optimal design of seismic protective devices under different design scenarios; by (iii) formulating a kriging surrogate modeling framework for seismic risk assessment when the earthquake hazard is described through stochastic ground motion models; by (iv) leveraging the remarkable computational efficiency of the latter framework to formulate a versatile approach for the multi-criteria design of seismic protective systems, adopting risk quantifications that can facilitate enhanced decision support for the various stakeholders.

  Making Portuguese Colonial Governance: Slavery, Forced Labor, and Racial Ideology in the Interior from Benguela, 1760-1860

summary:
  This dissertation examines the links between the expansion of slavery, forced labor, racial ideology, and early Portuguese colonialism over the Ndombe and Quilengues populations of Catumbela, Dombe Grande, and Quilengues, three areas surrounding the port town of Benguela, Angola, from 1760 to 1860. From the expansion of the Atlantic slave trade during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century to the period after its prohibition in 1836, the social and economic transformations experienced by these African communities intensified and laid the groundwork for further Portuguese colonization of Angola.

Furthermore, although recent advancements in the definition and diagnostic criteria for narcissism in the DSM-5, Section III have improved our understanding of narcissism, these criteria heavily favor grandiose over vulnerable traits, despite substantial evidence that documents the distinct natures of vulnerable and grandiose narcissism.

  Microsecond Simulations of the PmHMGR Second Hydride Transfer Transition State and Investigations into Molecule and Enzyme Dynamics

summary:
  In this thesis, I will primarily discuss how molecular dynamics simulations of the transition state of PmHMGR compared to ground state simulations facilitated the prediction of allosteric residues that help stabilize the transition state of the enzyme. Molecular dynamics was used to help drug discovery efforts for the epigenetic HDAC and P300/CBP systems, which, in the case of the latter, shed light on the role of protein dynamics on the ligand-protein and protein-protein interface.

  The Gothic as a genre deals with historical processes of transition or change, and derives its gothic effects not simply from the presence of demons or haunted houses, but from the often violent interruption of the present by the return of the past, frequently depicted in supernatural form. Unsurprisingly, given the especially turbulent modern Irish experience, Irish writers often turned to the Gothic for images and narratives which would enable them to find new ways of articulating a stable identity in the midst of tremendous change.

Despite the simplicity of the model, it yields quantitatively accurate predictions of the distribution of the particle residence times in the flow.

These data suggest that the effect of BMP-2 on angiogenesis is secondary to bone formation-induced vascular recruitment rather than direct endothelial cell activation.

  First, this study considers the techniques for office writing present in the office for the order's most prominent early saint, Bernard of Clairvaux. Offices for Katherine and Ursula and the Eleven Thousand Virgins compiled at the convent of Beatrice of Nazareth demonstrate that embellishment and arrangement of borrowed material was also a method of office-writing available to new Cistercian convents.

  Bodies Remembered: The Performance of Race, Class, and Gender in Contemporary Feminist Poetry of the Afro-Hispanic Caribbean

summary:
  The dissertation is divided in two parts: Part 1: Bodies in Transaction, or power and violence being transacted through women's bodies in their relationships to other bodies; and Part 2: Bodies in Action, or the Black female voice reclaiming agency in narratives of objectification to assert herself as an equal member of society and politics. Based on the work of Judith Butler, bodies for the purpose of this project are defined as physical and discursive spaces of trauma and power, the chapters of this dissertation trace how power and violence are transacted and reproduced through Black female bodies in the context of enslavement and colonization in the Caribbean.

My dissertation, Subversive Sensations: Reconsidering the Sensory in New Woman Literature, explores how sensory studies can help inform our readings of authors who seek to destabilize traditional social categorizations and create space for forms of identity that prioritize in-betweenness, hybridity, and inclusivity.

summary:
  Drawing on a great range of Paul Ricoeur's published works, I identify the role of the productive imagination in preaching in a variety of ways including, but not limited to: the split-level reference of poetic and religious language; the configuration of the preached word; epochÌÄåãÌ¢åÛåÏ, free variation, and metaphoric transfer in prophetic utopian projections; and the representation of the past. As a result, the basic agenda of this dissertation will be the following: to explore the sacramentality of preaching, construed in terms of an encounter with Jesus Christ, from the angle of its creativity through the coordinated contributions of the Holy Spirit and human imagination.

The concern is not only to resist processes of secularization that imply a loss of prayer but also to consider how a prayerful way of thinking (theology) and living (spirituality) enables one to overcome the most dangerous aspects of modern metaphysics and to counteract various structures of modern violence associated with economic injustice and identity-based exclusion.

Nanofluidic devices are known to exhibit a plethora of non-equilibrium ion transport phenomena due to the presence of surface charge on domains comparable in size to the Debye length.

  Efficient Sparse-Grid Implementation of a Fifth-Order Multi-Resolution WENO Scheme for Hyperbolic Equations

summary:
  In our previous work (Lu et al. 2018, Zhu and Zhang 2021), sparse-grid techniques were applied to the classical finite difference WENO schemes in solving multidimensional hyperbolic equations, and it was shown that significant CPU times were saved while both accuracy and stability of the classical WENO schemes were maintained for computations on sparse grids. Numerical experiments on solving high dimensional hyperbolic equations including Vlasov based kinetic problems are performed to demonstrate that the sparse-grid computations achieve large savings of CPU times, and at the same time preserve comparable accuracy and resolution with those on corresponding regular single grids.

Instead of using summary statistics to gauge performance, psychophysics directs us to construct item-response curves made up of individual stimulus responses to find perceptual thresholds, thus allowing one to identify the point at which a subject can no longer reliably recognize the stimulus.

If a study of Whitefield must work out the complex puzzles presented by his peripatetic life, there is also the prospect of rich insights to be gleaned from a grand globetrotting life that held the attention of British subjects everywhere captive across three decades.

These presidents, then, were attempting to pave the rights infrastructure, encouraging the formation of certain character traits they believed particularly necessary to vindicate America's culture of rights from some of its own potential cultural contradictions.

summary:
  Drawing from a broad range of archival materials that include newspaper accounts, films, and songs, in conjunction with oral history, I examine four youth groups that were differently affected by neoliberalism in Mexico City: chavos banda, or marginalized youth who engaged in gang-like and punk-like subculture and developed a unique style as a form of resistance to their exclusion from the neoliberal project; queer youth (gay, lesbian, bisexual, and trans), whose response to neoliberal policies coincided with the AIDS crisis and the collapse of the Homosexual Liberation Movement (1978-1984); National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM)-affiliated youth, middle-class university and high school students, who organized a massive student protest against the privatization of the UNAM in 1986 and made up a significant base of the left opposition that contributed to the defeat of the PRI; and yuppies and wealthy young people who welcomed and benefited from the neoliberal economic reforms and strengthened the conservative opposition. The reaction of citizens to these events and their decision to elect oppositional parties at the local level signaled the weakening of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), which lost its grip of the nation to the conservative opposition in 2000, after seventy years of undisputed political leadership and twenty years of economic neoliberal reforms that included privatization, structural adjustments, and the dismantling of the welfare system.

  My argument develops a purposive (or why) based account of the development and introduction of social policy paradigms that stands in contrast to approaches rooted in either political ideology or in social policy modeled as the rational response to social problems as brute facts. From this analysis, I develop an explanatory model for the effects of moral meanings derived from the genesis of shared normative categories; this offers a way of fostering mutually binding social critique that departs from the principles of communicative action; I contribute a new argument for the role that social justice meanings play in general processes of institutionalization; I also offer a moral and evaluative counterweight to contemporary neo-Polanyian understandings of the amoral market in economic sociology; finally, I identify endogenous mechanisms for theorizing macro-cultural change (like rationalization) as part of non-derivative cultural processes.

It is shown that, at very low latencies, convolutional codes with Viterbi decoding offer the best performance, whereas for high latencies LDPC codes dominate -- and sequential decoding of convolutional codes offers the best performance over a range of intermediate latency values.

  A Practical Design Methodology for an All-Digital Transmitter Architecture via Binary Sequence Search and a Look-Up Table Approach to Modulation

summary:
  This is because when the output clock speed approaches the intrinsic bandwidth of the DAC, even a 1-bit DAC which intrinsically avoids static nonlinearities exhibits dynamic nonlinearity that causes past output symbols to interact in a nonlinear fashion with the present symbol. When this all-digital transmitter structure is used in high-speed applications like Radar synthesizers, however, the output contains significant spurious signals that considerably degrade the spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) at the DAC output.

  Statistical iterative image reconstruction methods for X-ray computed tomography (CT) have, over the past few years, shown promise in maintaining diagnostic image quality across a wider range of dosage than has been routinely practical with standard deterministic methods. To combat the challenge of increased sampling non-uniformity, we propose a joint system parameter estimation with image reconstruction algorithm.

Pressure-driven flow through negatively charged membranes yields a streaming potential that creates a cation electromigration flux that opposes advection and gives high selectivities among cations that have different electrical mobilities.

summary:
  To strategically identify relevant embryonic-like mechanisms exploited by cancer cells, we performed mass spectrometry of the cell surface proteome of human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS cells) and breast cancer cells to find surface molecules shared by both cell types. Accumulating evidence has shown the presence of embryonic stem cell programs in cancer cells that contribute to aggressive malignancy.

  The Effect of Confirmation Bias and Perceptual Disfluency on Juror Decision-Making and Memory Retention

summary:
  The decision-making results showed a dissociation where Juror Bias Scale score (a measure of pre-existing personal biases towards the criminal justice system) predicted verdicts while the experimentally-manipulated initial bias predicted suggested length of sentence—both in a direction that supported an effect of confirmation bias on decision-making. The second experiment also addressed the novel area of confirmation bias mitigation by implementing a perceptual disfluency manipulation—a manipulation which has been hypothesized to operate by shifting individuals from a heuristic mode of processing into an analytical mode of processing.

  We then show how to construct subalgebras of $V_L$ by considering the kernel of a screening operator for $V_L$ when $L$ is of rank $2$, and how one can take the intersection of the kernels of certain commuting screening operators to obtain interesting vertex operator algebras that can be analyzed using this intersection of kernels structure. We analyze and classify when screening pairs can arise for $L$ of arbitrary rank, and then give a classification of when configurations of multiple screening pairs can occur for lattice vertex operator algebras with lattices of rank $2$ and ADE-type root lattices.

  Engineering Tunable Synthetic Biomaterials for Mechanistic and Therapeutic Lymphatic Vasculature Applications

summary:
  HA-based hydrogels were used to investigate the role of mechanical and biochemical cues in regulating lymphatic vessel formation within a synthetic matrix, and to evaluate their potential for in vivo functionality to progress towards a viable lymphatic vessel transplant therapy. Controlling lymphangiogenesis, the formation of new lymphatic vessels, exhibits potential as a novel therapeutic strategy for the treatment of lymphatic-related conditions and could provide the first-long term treatment, replacing current treatments which are limited in effectiveness and longevity of relief.

  Multi-Scale Simulation Study of the Effect of Fiber Alignment and Bending and Stress–Strain Relation on Fibrin Networks

summary:
  The novelty of the approach is in combining study of the mechanical properties of individual fibers and fibrin network, such as rigidity, bending, stiffness and elasticity, with the study of the structural properties of the network, such as fiber degree distribution, length distribution and density. Structural and mechanical properties of fibrin networks are essential factors determining growth and stability of blood clots.

  Suppose that p is a fibration with total space E over a connected, finite CW complex B whose fibers are homotopy equivalent to a finite CW complex F. Then there is a fibration associated to p whose fibers are all homotopy equivalent to A(F), the algebraic K-theory space of F. Dwyer, Weiss, and Williams have constructed a section of this fibration, called the parametrized Euler characteristic of p, which has a lift to a parametrized excisive Euler characteristic if and only if p is fiber homotopy equivalent to a topological fiber bundle whose fibers are homeomorphic to a compact topological manifold, possibly with boundary. We show that this space of structures on p is homotopy equivalent to the product of the space of all lifts of the parametrized Euler characteristic of p to a parametrized excisive Euler characteristic with the space of stable Euclidean bundles over E.

  In cities where road space rationing was implemented permanently, the policy reduced air pollution, while in cities where road space rationing was implemented temporarily, I cannot reject that the policy had zero impact. In the second chapter, I estimate a fixed effects model to study the effect of air pollution in the origin on out-migration and a conditional logit model to study the effect of air pollution on location choice, employing air pollution from distant sources carried by wind as an instrument for local air pollution.

  Growing the Good Food Revolution: Strategies of Sustainable Community in Two Urban Alternative Food Projects

summary:
  These future projections, and the strategies that activists initially utilized to pursue them, were informed by dominant narratives about the lack of Good Food in urban neighborhoods, as well as activists' skills and prior knowledge. Ultimately, these findings explain why groups struggle to establish patterns of action that create viable economic opportunities and durable social relationships in inner-city neighborhoods.

  Heterogeneous Network Approach for Analyzing Nethealth Data: Linking Individuals' Social Interaction, Personality, Physical Health, and Mental Health Data

summary:
  With this hypothesis, in a follow-up study, we fairly evaluate whether using dynamic social network data has more power than using static social network data in the task of predicting mental health. Since the existing RS methods work on static network data and extending them to dynamic network data is non-trivial, our constructed HIN aggregates the dynamic social network data from the considered study time period into a static network.

After spending one year in a social movement group, during which qualitative data was collected using ethnographic participant-observation methods, I found that this group engaged in two kinds of translation, both of which led to lower EE.

  Postmodern American Gothic: The Politics of Fear in the Works of Thomas Pynchon, David Lynch, and Steve Erickson

summary:
  Considering the profound urgency that differing conceptions of 'terror' represent in a post-9/11 world, I believe that understanding representations of terror in contemporary artistic practice is vital to reassessing the Gothic genre, from its origins in the 18th century to the present, as defined by its politics of transgression. In this project, I argue that the works of artists Thomas Pynchon, David Lynch, and Steve Erickson signify, what I term, the postmodern American Gothic, through their production of a symbolic economy of fear, paranoia, and dread.

The research question asks whether the data necessary to estimate the probabilities of failure for each step can be collected from the field work methods, allowing for the potential application of FTA in the assessment of quantity and quality failures in local potable water resource systems.

  Mark the Mystagogue: Ritual Narrative, Identity Formation, and Baptism in the Gospel According to Mark

summary:
  Jesus's figurative reference to baptism in Mark 10:38–39 provides impetus for comparing the baptism of Jesus in Mark 1:9–11 with other baptism-like events in the Gospel, including sea crossings (Mark 4:35–41; 6:45–52; 8:13–21) and healings of sense perception (Mark 8:22–26; 9:14–29; 10:46–52), akin to Jesus's illuminating reception of the Spirit (1:10). This discourse presents who Jesus is and Jesus's call to discipleship in analogy to the baptismal ritual, shown in the Markan narrator's description of Jesus's baptism (Mark 1:9–11), figurative reference to baptism (Mark 10:38–39), as well as figural representations of baptism in the narrative structure of the Gospel.

  La escena del crimen: violencia contra la mujer, paisajes tanatológicos y una nueva crítica de la misoginia

summary:
  Basada en teorías del psicoanálisis y la antropología feminista, esta disertación propone el término violencia patriarcal primigenia para designar una forma de violencia contra la mujer, inserta en el continuo histórico de dominación patriarcal y tangible en regímenes autoritarios, conflictos armados y otros contextos de violencia estructural en Latinoamérica durante los siglos XX y XXI. El estudio tiene en cuenta otras formas de violencia contra la mujer como lo son la explotación laboral, el destierro y la imposición de un duelo por causa de la desaparición forzada de sus seres queridos.

  While speech analysis has a tremendous potential as the foundation for a new generation of diagnostic tools, the development and deployment of such tools has been hindered by two closely tied problems: (1) the lack of an in-depth understanding of the relationship between neurological disorders and speech production and (2) the small and incomplete sets of speech samples (and the lack of medical context) prior studies are based on. In this work, a portable speech collection and analysis system is designed and implemented to extract acoustic metrics from speech tests developed to study various aspects of speech production affected by concussions.

  Fiscal Federalism: The Effects of Divided versus Unified Government on Federal Grant-in-Aid Spending

summary:
  It suggests that an increase in veto players through political parties will reduce the discretionary authority of the political branches, especially the Executive through the decrease in non-formulaic monies thereby facilitating more formulaic spending and hence greater genuine checks and balances between the branches. During divided government, there will also be more bi-partisan deliberation and negotiation regarding substantive policy making and hence less partisanship and particularistic tendencies that are typical of unified government.
