A Priori for solo violin
A Priori is a polyphonic, virtuosic solo for violin in one movement. The composition is approximately eight minutes in duration. Pitch material for the composition is organized using two pitch-class collections, one collection projected linearly, the other vertically. The melodic, linear material …

The nature of synthetic judgements a priori and the categorical imperative
… to display the nature of synthetic judgements a priori, since Kant claimed that the categorical imperative was this sort of judgement. This requires examining Kant's exposition of synthetic judgements a priori in mathematics and natural science in the Critique of Pure Reason, where he dealt with …

Reduced-Cost CEM Problems Through Model Simplification and a-Priori Information
This work focuses primarily on scattering by large conducing bodies. We also consider radiation and scattering by dielectric-coated, metallic surfaces. For these problems, solution efficiency is improved by using boundary conditions to reduce a volumetric formulation to a surface formulation. …

A priori and on-line route optimization for unmanned underwater vehicles
… known as Rollout to determine the optimal a priori route that meets operational constraints with a specified probability. The thesis then shows how these formulations can solve and re-solve the UUVMPP on-line. In particular, the Rollout Algorithm finds task route solutions on average 96% of …

Automated Filtering and Attribution of Archive Bathymetry Based on A Priori Knowledge
… thesis develops automated algorithms based on a priori knowledge of existing bathymetric topography to remove errant soundings and concurrently provide an estimate of uncertainty.</p>

Global a priori Estimates and Sharp Existence Results for Quasilinear Equations on Nonsmooth Domains.
This thesis deals obtaining global a priori estimates for quasilinear elliptic equations and sharp existence results for Quasilinear equations with gradient nonlinearity on the right. The main results are contained in Chapters 3, 4, 5 and 6. In Chapters 3 and 4, we obtain global unweighted a priori …

The A Priori Nature of the Political: Democracy and Scientific Method in Thomas Hobbes
My dissertation provides a treatment of Hobbes's politics in light of his conception of scientific method. The scholarship devoted to these two components of Hobbes's thought, that is his account of scientific method and his political philosophy, have largely existed in isolation from one another. …

Análisis de sensibilidad bayesiana a través de clases de distribuciones a priori: teoría y aplicaciones
This Ph.D. dissertation provides contributions in the study of robustness in decision-making problems from a Bayesian point of view. We bring interesting results related with robust Bayesian analysis which make this studies easier. Then, these results are applied in the study of real problems in …

Improving a priori emission estimates using network observations and a perturbed emissions ensemble: a study in Beijing
… introduces a novel approach that optimises a priori emission estimates by source sector, which are particularly relevant for policy interventions. At the core of this approach is a perturbed emissions ensemble (PEE), constructed by perturbing parameters in an a priori emissions inventory …

A priori analysis of global and local output error estimates for CG, DG and HDG finite element discretizations
In this thesis, a priori convergence estimates are developed for outputs, output error estimates, and localizations of output error estimates for Galerkin finite element methods. Specifically, Continuous Galerkin (CG), Discontinuous Galerkin (DG), and Hybridized DG (HDG) methods are analyzed for …

A Priori vision : the transcendence of pre-ontological sight : the disparity of externalizing the internal architecture of creation
The completion of any visual work is not an arrival, but furthered from the origin, the inner plane of perspective, which is so readily lent from the context of communicating the seemingly coded space from which I am inspired. The closest visual language within my grasp to elucidate my inquiries …
