Korean industrialization: Competing hypotheses
… of this dissertation is to describe and test competing hypotheses regarding Korean industrialization. Has Korea followed the neoclassical path of static comparative advantage or did Korea anticipate comparative advantage? We will attempt to answer this question through three essays.

Holographic superconductor with multiple competing condensates
Holography is a novel approach to modeling strongly interacting many-body systems. By reorganizing the quantum many-body problem into an equivalent problem in classical gravity, holography makes it relatively easy, for example, to study linear response and compute transport coefficients. These …

Goal Orientation: A test of competing models
This research examined the validity of the 2-factor (e.g., Button, Mathieu, and Zajac, 1996) and 3-factor (e.g., VandeWalle, 1997) models of goal orientation. These models differ in specifying the dimensionality, measurement, and nomological network for learning goal orientation and performance …

Auctions with Variable Supply and Competing Auctioneers
The dissertation studies game theoretical models of competitive bidding on multi-unit auction markets. The analysis concerns both monopoly and oligopoly settings. A major part of the thesis deals with equilibrium bidding in variable supply auctions – trade mechanisms in which a monopoly seller …

Performance Evaluation of Competing Data Structures in Pathfinding
Pathfinding is an essential part of many applications, including video games and robot navigation. A pathfinding algorithm usually finds a path from the given starting point to the endpoint. Many different implementations of pathfinding solutions exist in the industry. One of the most known and …

Health Systems Integration: Competing or Shared Mental Models?
For over two decades, health services researchers and managers have focused on improving integration between organizations and levels of care. Yet, healthcare systems capable of delivering integrated care have not developed widely. This dissertation argues that structural and process strategies for …

Analysis and design of competing double auction marketplaces
… ones. To this end, in this thesis, we analyse competing double auction marketplaces, and use insights from this analysis to design an effective competing marketplace for an international market design competition, which is called CAT.<br/><br/>In more detail, the design of a competing double …

Ferromagnetic manganites: spin-polarized conduction and competing interactions
Electronic properties of solids are vitally important for modern technology, one may think of microelectronics, magnetic data storage, communication technologies and others. Sometimes, it seems possible to postpone the step of fundamental understanding when starting the application of a new …

Non-parametric competing risks with multivariate frailty models
This research focuses on two theories: (i) competing risks and (ii) random eect (frailty) models. The theory of competing risks provides a structure for inference in problems where cases are subject to several types of failure. Random eects in competing risk models consist of two underlying …

No Common Ground: Competing Worldviews at Mato Tipila
<p>This project analyzes a legal conflict (Bear Lodge Multiple Use Assn v Babbitt 2 F. Supp. 2d 1448) at Mato Tipila, a significant place for the Lakota (Sioux) community and with which they have a historical and longstanding relationship. Commercial and recreational rock-climbing enthusiasts who …

The St. Louis Corridor: Mixing, Competing, and Retreating Dialects
… stemming from the contact between the two competing Corridor dialects (NCS and Midland). Instead of demonstrating dialect leveling or movement of existing dialect boundaries, the NCS and Midland dialect features interact both at the phonological and broad dialectal level. During the period …

COMPETING IDENTITIES: INTERSECTIONALITY AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT-ATHLETE BELONGING
There is an urgent need to explore the complex experiences of high school student-athletes, especially considering the growing investment in youth sports and its implications on students’ mental health and identity development. This mixed-methods research study delves into the effects of …

Analysis of discrete dynamical system models for competing species
… Lotka-Volterra (LV) differential equations for competing population species is analyzed in detail, much the same way as the discrete form of the logistic equation has been investigated as a source of bifurcation phenomena and chaotic dynamics. Another related system, namely, the Exponentially …

Imagining Cambodia: Competing Nationalisms in the Second Kingdom (1993-)
… contents of the nation to be? How do these competing imaginations bear on political party actors' claims to represent the nation? How do competing imaginations of the nation play out in contemporary Cambodian politics? This leads to a fourth question: How useful can attention to national …

Dynamic regulation of pathways by down-regulating competing enzymes
… dynamic pathway regulation by down-regulating competing enzymes can successfully improve yields of products. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, we constructed a hexokinase valve where Hxk2 and GIk1 were deleted and the only remaining Hxk1 was placed under control of the tetracycline transactivating …

Confidence Interval Estimation of Cumulative Incidence for Clustered Competing Risks
… outcome patients are sometimes exposed to competing events. These are risks that alter the probability of the primary outcome occurring. Traditional methods of estimating the cumulative incidence for an outcome and its associated confidence interval under competing risks do not account for …

Evaluating memetics : A case of competing perspectives at an SME.
… concept of the optimon is adopted. By comparing competing perspectives at the case study organisation, the study finds that it is possible to identify 'optimon' units of culture similar to the optimon genes which are described in Mendelian heredity. However, the notion of replication in culture, …

The Making of Audubon Park: Competing Ideologies for Public Space
<p>The emergence of Progressivism at the beginning of the twentieth century influenced many aspects of American society. One of those aspects was urban parks. In the latter half of the nineteenth century Frederick Law Olmsted led a nationwide implementation of "Victorian" parks. These parks …

An analysis of the competing factors within an extradition decision.

JOINT MODELING OF MULTIVARIATE LONGITUDINAL DATA AND COMPETING RISKS DATA
