Results in Ramsey theory and extremal graph theory
… $n$ triangles which all share a common vertex. Chen, Yu and Zhao showed that $\frac{9}{2}n-5 \leq R(F_n) \leq \frac{11}{2}n+6$. We build on the techniques that they used to prove the upper bound of $\frac{11}{2}n+6$, and adopt a more detailed approach to examining the structure of the graph. …

Internal migrants and labour market discrimination in Shanghai’s manufacturing sector
China has witnessed the largest migration wave in human history since the initiation of economic reforms in 1978. Millions of migrants seek job opportunities and higher incomes in cities where economy booms. Without local permanent residential status (local hukou), migrants are subject to social …

Development of an electrospary ionization source and vacuum interface for guided ion beam tandem mass spectrometry experiments: structural and energetic effects in the molecular recognition of amino acids by 18-crown-6
<p>Absolute 18-crown-6 (18C6) binding affinities of the side chains of AAs in peptides and proteins were determined in a step by step fashion using guided ion beam tandem mass spectrometry techniques. Firstly, 18C6 binding affinities of several peptidomimetic bases (B) that serve as mimics of the …

Self-stabilizing Border Gateway Protocol
The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is currently the only inter-domain routing protocol employed on the Internet. It is designed to exchange the reachability information among the autonomous systems in the global Internet. The Internet routing instability (or the rapid fluctuation of the network …

Spherical wave reflection and transmission
This study is concerned with the reflection and transmission of spherical waves at a plane interface between two different media. The phenomenon of the reflection and transmission of spherical waves has been studied by means of analytical methods, numerical computation, and experimental tests. A …

High-energy Neutron Backgrounds for Underground Dark Matter Experiments
<p>Direct dark matter detection experiments usually have excellent capability to distinguish nuclear recoils, expected interactions with Weakly Interacting Massive Particle (WIMP) dark matter, and electronic recoils, so that they can efficiently reject background events such as gamma-rays and …

SENSING CHARACTERISTICS AND MATHEMATICAL MODELLING OF PLANT TISSUE POLYPHENOLASE SENSORS
Dopamine, a neurotransmitter is commonly associated with Parkinson's disease, neural crest tumour and the stupor characteristics of drug addicts. It is oxidised in the presence of polyphenol oxidase, an enzyme commonly found in plant tissues. Its kinetics was studied by monitoring the concentration …

LARGE-SCALE NEURAL 3D SCENE RECONSTRUCTION, RENDERING, AND BEYOND
This thesis advances neural 3D reconstruction into a scalable and robust process for real-world applications. While techniques like NeRF and 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) show promise, they face challenges in scalability, robustness to imperfect camera poses, and consistency across distributed …

The Functional Role of the Anterior Insular Cortex in Cognitive Control
<p>Cognitive control, a higher level psychological construct, refers to efficient coordination of thoughts and actions for the accomplishment of goal-directed behaviors. Cognitive control is supported by a commonly activated cognitive control network, and the anterior insular cortex (AIC) serves as …

"""TSA-Seq"": a novel proximity mapping approach for studying three dimensional genome organization and function"
"The organization of chromatin and its localization in the eukaryotic cell nucleus plays a critical role in gene regulation (Agarwal and Rao, 1998; Brown, 2003; Ferrai et al., 2010) and is important for maintaining normal genome function. However, although it is known that the distribution of …

Measurement-based tools for power system monitoring and operations
This thesis proposes several online power system monitoring and operations tools that leverage real-time measurements with little or no reliance on models obtained offline. Instead of relying on offline models, which can be grossly inaccurate, as in conventional power system monitoring and …

Interactive embankment: topography of fluctuating water levels and human interaction
Interactive embankments, as a boundary surface or structure, mediate between land and water, potentially change the landscape, restore the ecosystem, and promote public access to a waterfront. It is a reflection of societal values in direct dialogue with the forces of nature. Water level …

Assessing Renewable Resource Penetration on Power System Small-Signal Reachability
This thesis proposes a method to assess the impact on power system dynamic performance caused by uncertainty in the system supply side. Operational uncertainty, e.g., demand variability, is not new to power systems. However, with the increased penetration of renewable-based generation, operational …
