Issues of identity and individuality in quantum mechanics
… Part I is an investigation into identity, indiscernibility and individuality in logic and metaphysics. In Chapter 2, I investigate identity and discernibility in classical first-order logic. My aim will will be to define four different ways in which objects can be discerned from one another, …

Modeling Evolutionary Constraints and Improving Multiple Sequence Alignments using Residue Couplings
… physicochemical properties of amino acids and discernibility between orders. We also investigate a method for mining frequent episodes---called coupled patterns---in an alignment produced by a classical algorithm for proteins and for exploiting the coupled patterns for improving the alignment …

Correlates of political alignment: Jumping off the balancing bandwagon
… to reciprocate is contingent on the cost and discernibility of past alignment decisions. A ruler who provided unambiguous support to another and paid a large price for doing so can expect future support more readily than someone who did not. I test the theory in three chapters, two …

Risk and reliability-based maintenance for highway infrastructure asset management
… deficient and functionally obsolete due to low discernibility of their functional failures, condition assessment and maintenance programmes which are often neglected until a catastrophic failure occurs. This research attempt to reveal ways for sound decision making to address the functional …
