Realising The Smooth Representations Of GL2(O_F) Using p-adic Geometric Methods
Let p be an odd prime number and F be a finite extension of the p-adic numbers Q_p with valuation ring O_F and residue field k. In this thesis, we study the smooth representation theory of the profinite group GL_2(OO_F) using the theory of dagger analytic geometry developed by Grosse-Kl\"onne …

Examining the regional physiology of the transplant kidney during normothermic machine perfusion.
Ischaemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is an unavoidable consequence of deceased-donor kidney transplantation that has a profound effect upon both immediate and long-term graft function. Disruption to microvascular perfusion (MVP) and tissue oxygenation (PtO2) are central to the development of IRI, but …

Imagery and Contamination Aversion
<p>Contamination-based obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is the most common form of OCD. Recent research indicates that the emotion of disgust may play a primary role in the etiology and maintenance in contamination-based OCD (CB-OCD). However, little is known about the effects of disgust on …

Emotional Interference of Response Inhibition in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
<p>Researchers have hypothesized that failures of inhibition are partially responsible for habitual and perseverative symptoms that are unique to Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). It is also well known that sequelae of emotional processes are also implicated in the etiology and maintenance of …

The Use of Central Tendency Measures from an Operational Short Lead-time Hydrologic Ensemble Forecast System for Real-time Forecasts
A principal factor contributing to hydrologic prediction uncertainty is modeling error intro- duced by the measurement and prediction of precipitation. The research presented demon- strates the necessity for using probabilistic methods to quantify hydrologic forecast uncer- tainty due to the …

The Persistence of Vengeance from Early Modern England to Postmodern New York
<p>As a passing glance at the popular texts of any given period reveals, the subject of vengeance is nearly inescapable; on billboards, websites, and year end lists, revenge represents a curious constant even amid disparate media. This study explores the cultural commonalities that align revenge …
