Computational Models of Information Processing
… and to preserve its integrity. I present two computational models to develop theories about these aspects: In the first, I look at how an organization's strategic effort to acquire (and therefore receive) information co-evolves with its absorptive capacity in different types of environment. …

Efficient algorithms for new computational models
… lead to new ways in which problems can be solved computationally. In this thesis we explore fundamental problems in three computational models that are based on such recent advances. The first model is based on new chip architectures, where multiple independent processing units are placed on one …

Bayesian computational models for inferring preferences
… of their plans might be inefficient. I develop models for learning the preferences of agents subject to false beliefs and to time inconsistency. I use probabilistic programming to provide a concise, extendable implementation of preference inference for suboptimal agents. Agents performing …

Computational models for expressive dimensional typography
… prospect of typographic forms, based on custom computational models, which can be faithfully realized only in a three-dimensional, interactive environment. These new models allow for manipulation of letter-form attributes including visual display, scale, two-dimensional structure and three …

Visibility-Related Problems on Parallel Computational Models
… be viewed as template algorithms for an abstract computational model. A template algorithm provides an architecture independent solution for a problem, from which solutions can be generated for diverse computational models. In particular, the template algorithms presented in this work lead to …

The power of restricted quantum computational models
Restricted models of quantum computation are ones that have less power than a universal quantum computer. We studied the consequences of removing particular properties from a universal quantum computer to discover whether those resources were important.In the first part of the thesis we studied …

Computational models of cardiovascular response to orthostatic stress
The cardiovascular response to changes in posture has been the focus of numerous investigations in the past. Yet despite considerable, targeted experimental effort, the mechanisms underlying orthostatic intolerance (OI) following spaceflight remain elusive. The number of hypotheses still under …

Computational models for respiratory gas exchange and their applications
… are assessed to result in a class of models with increasing complexity in their description of gas exchange in the human lungs, which span from simple steady state prediction, to fitting empirical equations that capture characteristic behaviour, to complex equations derived from …

Responsible Conduct of Research with Computational Models and Simulations
Research with computational models and simulations has become integral to many science and engineering fields; computation now rivals experimentation as a mode of scientific research. Despite the rapid growth of literature on computational modeling, little has been done to examine the standards of …

The Role of Precedent in Computational Models of Law
… new decision increases rapidly over time. Robust models of precedential reasoning could help in mitigating this problem. Therefore, the goal of this thesis is to model precedent, understand how it works and how to use it to explain system predictions. Towards this, I will use modern techniques …

Computational models of natural gas markets for gas-fired generators
… and 2030? In order to answer these questions, a computational model is determined using regression analysis tools and an auction model. Data from the New England region in terms of prices, generation, and demand is used to determine these models.

Solar Wind-Magnetosphere-Ionosphere Coupling: Multiscale Study with Computational Models
… coupling is investigated with three different computational models that characterize space plasma dynamics on distinct spatial/temporal scales. These models are used to explore three important aspects of SW-M-I coupling. A particle-in-cell (PIC) model has been developed to explore the kinetic …
