Foundations of geometry
Geometry has been called the science of in-direct measurement, and as such is founded on certain definitions, postulates, and some assumptions or axioms which are said to be self-evident. It is a physical science idealized. The oldest and best known form of this science is the Euclidean Geometry …

Categories with New Foundations
… entirely within the Zermelo family. Quine’s New Foundations has received limited attention, despite being the one-sorted version of a theory mentioned as a possible foundation for Category Theory by Mac Lane and Eilenberg in their seminal paper on the subject. The lack of attention given to NF is …

The foundations of modern algebra
… made by British mathematicians to the 'foundations of algebra' in the first half of the nineteenth century, and to assess the importance of these advances against the inadequacies of eighteenth century algebra and the subsequent development of modern algebra. In order to realize this …

Informed Consent: Foundations and Applications
<p>Since its advent in the 20th century, informed consent has become a cornerstone of ethical healthcare, and obtaining it a core obligation in medical contexts. In my dissertation, I aim to examine the theoretical underpinnings of informed consent and identify what values it is taken to protect. I …

Geotechnical behavior of shell foundations
The geotechnical behavior of shell foundations was investigated experimentally, numerically, and theoretically. Experimental investigation was carried out on nine prototype foundation models in loose, medium, and dense sands. Experimental set-up was organized and instrumented to perform the testing …

Design Foundations of Graph Databases
The property graph model and graph database management systems such as Neo4j have become increasingly popular. Naturally, questions around graph data modelling best practices arise. Graph databases are perceived as very intuitive and our research will provide evidence to showcase their benefits. …

Deformation mechanisms beneath shallow foundations
Shallow foundations can provide the most economical solution for supporting small-scale structures. The design approach is quite simple considering the ultimate bearing capacity and working-load settlement. Research has shown that settlement calculations, determined using a linear-elastic approach, …

Perceptual foundations of abstract thought
How do people think about things they can never see or touch? The ability to invent and reason about domains such as time, ideas, or mathematics is uniquely human, and is arguably the hallmark of human sophistication. Yet, how people mentally represent these abstract domains has remained one of the …

Statistical foundations for precision medicine
Physicians must often diagnose their patients using disease archetypes that are based on symptoms as opposed to underlying pathophysiology. The growing concept of "precision medicine" addresses this challenge by recognizing the vast yet fractured state of biomedical data, and calls for a …
