Geological constraints on Neoproterozoic glacial episodes
Neoproterozoic glacial episodes are amongst the most intense glaciations that the Earth has experienced, and are associated with major changes in the Earth System, such as the breakup of a supercontinent, the evolution of complex multicellular life and extreme geochemical perturbations. A …

Social movements as networks of communication episodes
… a framework of SMs as networks communication episodes (CAMs) is one way to build a successful hybrid approach, arguing that SMs consist of relationships between and within actors and events. In order to put the CAM framework to use, I used multidimensional exponential random graph modeling …

Modeling Alterations In Nociception Following Repeated Vaso-Occlusive Episodes
<p>Painful vaso-occlusive episodes (VOEs) in children with sickle cell can begin as early as 2-6 months of age and is the most common reason for hospitalization in this patient population. Although the majority of the medical community acknowledges that infants experience pain, there is still …

Detecting episodes of star formation using Bayesian model selection.
… we investigate its use in detecting multiple episodes of star formation from the analysis of the Spectral Energy Distribution (SED) of galaxies. This method is validated by simulating galaxy catalogs modeled after 3D-HST galaxies at redshift z ∼ 1. The SED of galaxies are derived using …

Multiple Uses of Frequent Episodes in Temporal Process Modeling
… In this work, we propose the mining of frequent episodes as a bridge to inferring more formal models of temporal processes. This enables us to combine the advantages of frequent episode mining, which conducts level wise search over constrained spaces, with the formal basis of process …

"markers" Of Vulnerability And Episodes In Paranoid And Nonparanoid Schizophrenics
… is to locate both "markers" of vulnerability and episodes by comparing remitted and episodic schizophrenics, to see how they differ (potential episode markers) and how they are similar (potential vulnerability markers).;Schizophrenics in differing phases of illness have demonstrated a letter …

Developing iodine proxies for oceanic oxygenation conditions during greenhouse episodes
<p>Anthropogenic global warming affects marine ecosystems in complex ways, and declining ocean oxygenation is a growing concern. Forecasting the geographical and bathymetric extent, rate, and intensity of future deoxygenation and its ecological effects, however, remains highly challenging because …

Child-initiated literacy episodes: sites of significant learning in early education
… explores child-initiated literacy episodes within the literacy-learning context of a particular Year One classroom. The aim of the case study was to identify and explore the elements, effects and outcomes of the literacy-learning context and the ensuing child-initiated literacy …

The transport of PM10 over Cape Town during high pollution episodes
… of remote and local pollution sources to PM10 episodes over the city. The study analysed observations from Cape Town’s air quality monitoring stations and simulations from the Weather Research and Forecasting model with Chemistry (WRFChem). The observation data were used to identify PM10 …

Detecting hazardous intensive care patient episodes using real-time mortality models
The modern intensive care unit (ICU) has become a complex, expensive, data-intensive environment. Caregivers maintain an overall assessment of their patients based on important observations and trends. If an advanced monitoring system could also reliably provide a systemic interpretation of a …

Don't Put Me in "Quotes": Examining Communication Episodes of Health-Related Stigma
<p>This study examined communication episodes of health-related stigma, which includes instances where individuals were made to feel bullied, excluded, rejected, blamed, or embarrassed due to a health condition they or someone they know possesses. This study used the coordinated management of …

Meal and Food Selection Patterns of Binge Episodes in Ethnically Diverse Adults
… location, and food selection during binge episodes in an ethnically diverse sample of adults seeking binge eating treatment. Participants were 29 adults (86% female) with a mean age of 36.5 (SD = 11.2). Participants had an average body mass index of 32.4 (SD = 8.74). Approximately 41% of …

Collective and Individual Rationality: Some Episodes in the History of Economic Thought
This thesis argues for the fundamental importance of the opposition between holistic and reductionistic world-views in economics. Both reductionism and holism may nevertheless underpin laissez-faire policy prescriptions. Scrutiny of the nature of the articulation between micro and macro levels in …

Reframing: How staff help youth overcome episodes of anxiety in youth programs
… The three strategies leaders used during youth’s episodes of anxiety were: reframing youth’s sense of ability, reframing youth’s conceptualization of the task, and reframing youth’s emotional experience. Findings provide a deep level of insight into how expert leaders use reframing to target …

From space to episodes : modeling memory formation in the hippocampal-neocortical system
This thesis describes the use of mathematical, statistical, and computational methods to analyze, in two paradigmatic areas, what the hippocampus and associated structures do, and how they do it. The first model explores the formation of place fields in the hippocampus. This model is constrained by …

The large pavement at Qasr el-Lebia in Cyrenaica: episodes, narratives and transformations.
The main focus of this thesis is the large mosaic pavement in the East Church complex at Qasr el-Lebia in Cyrenaica, Libya. It sets out to establish whether the fifty panels which comprise the pavement constitute a coherent programme. In order to do that the literature is reviewed, the site is set …

Long short-term memory recurrent neural networks for classification of acute hypotensive episodes
An acute hypotensive episode (AHE) is a life-threatening condition durich which a patient's mean arterial blood pressure drops below 60 mmHG for a period of 30 minutes. This thesis presents the development and evaluation of a series of Long short-term memory recurrent neural network (LSTM RNN) …
