Extreme Identities: An examination of extreme sports and the creation of identity within the extreme sports experience
… a rapidly growing increase in the popularity of extreme sports. Whilst the root of the exact reasons that extreme sports have grown so dras;cally as an industry is not en;rely clear, there are many theories and sugges;ons which can create a narra;ve to the evolu;on of the sports. Not only have …

Extreme Terres of Anthropocene
… risk and resources in Italian Innerlands. Extreme Terres of Anthropocene In the world of town planning, architecture, and landscape, searching for a new phenomenology is a way of interpreting and explaining how the great environmental, social, and economic changes the entire Earth System is …

Extreme events in geoarchives
… time scales and identifying causal linkages to extreme hydrological events requires longer datasets. To extend instrumental flood time series back in time, natural geoarchives are increasingly explored as flood recorders. Therefore, annually laminated (varved) lake sediments seem to be the most …

Extreme optomechanically induced transparency
… oscillators and high laser power to achieve extremely strong optical induced transparency effects. This system modifies the light transmission properties of the optical cavity reducing the transmission by a factor of 3 x 10 -3 at the highest power levels. A linewidth reduction of 5 x 10 -5, …

Enhancement of the United States extreme wind database and implications for extreme wind climatology
… recent years to improve the characterization of extreme wind climatology in the contiguous United States, uncertainties still remain in its formal quantification. The importance of an accurate assessment of extreme wind climate is paramount, however, due to the outsized weight that the “basic …

Savanna dynamics under extreme conditions
… savanna-related research in order to deal with extreme conditions and phenomena; be it through the enhancement of the coexistence debate or the study of an imminent external threat or the development of a management-oriented tool for the conservation of savannas.

Polymer Infiltration Under Extreme Confinement
Polymer nanocomposites with high nanoparticle loadings are ubiquitous in nature but difficult to replicate synthetically. A simple technique to create such polymer nanocomposites is to form a bi-layer of a nanoparticle thin film atop a polymer thin film and anneal above the polymer glass transition …

Extreme value modelling of heatwaves
… to reduce the number of people affected by these extreme events. Extreme value theory provides a statistical framework for modelling extreme events. Extreme value models for temperature data tend to focus solely on the intensity, overlooking how long periods of hot weather will last and what the …

Nanostructured alloys for extreme conditions
… of new nanostructured materials for use in extreme mechanical and thermal environments is likely to be of critical importance for a number of future energy technologies. These materials are characterized by a large density of grain boundaries. Consequently, they are inherently strong due to …

Extreme ultraviolet probing of laser ablation
This thesis details the use of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) sources in probing laser ablation and material opacity. The radiation hydrodynamic codes POLLUX and h2d are used to study the Rayleigh-Taylor instability in a regime relevant to inertial fusion energy and, in support of experimental effort, …

Efficiently bootstrapping extreme scale software systems
… in these large computer systems have grown to extremely large scales. All of the extreme-scale-software systems that run on these extreme-scale-computational systems go through what we call a bootstrapping phase. During this phase, the software system is deployed onto a set of computers and its …

Statistical models for extreme weather events
Western Europe is typically prone to extreme weather events during the winter months, which typically take the form of windstorms or flooding. The storm Desmond brought strong winds and heavy rain to Ireland, northern England and Scotland in December 2015, resulting in an estimated $500 million …

Nonparametric smoothing in extreme value theory
… the modelling of non-stationary sample extremes using a roughness penalty approach, in which smoothed natural cubic splines are fitted to the location and scale parameters of the generalized extreme value distribution and the distribution of the r largest order statistics. Estimation is …

Investigating Extreme Lifestyles Through Mangrove Transcriptomics
I have characterized phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL), chalcone synthase (CHS), and dihydroflavonol reductase (DFR) gene families in R. mangle , which are at major regulatpry points in the phenylpropanoid pathway. I have identified one DFR, two CHS, and ten PAL genes in R. mangle . Differential …

Extreme ultraviolet response of ionic crystals
… potassium bromide have been determined in the extreme-ultraviolet by means of transmission measurements on thin films. For this purpose an electron storage ring was used as a source of continuum radiation in the range of photon energy from 70 to 220eV. A careful comparison of experimental and …
