On Control Systems of the Brain: A Study of Their Connections, Activations, and Interactions
… The current dissertation focuses on different systems of brain regions related to task control. We are interested in investigating, in detail, some of the basic activity patterns that different control systems carry during simple tasks, and how differences in activity patterns may shed new …

Program verification in functional programming systems
Functional programming systems provide a number of features which facilitate program verification. Such verification may be observed to rest directly upon the theoretical foundations of computing and simultaneously to exhibit a close relation to the programs being verified. In order to demonstrate …

Collaborating on Reference: A Study of Discourse and Aphasia
… situated, interactional achievements in complex functional systems. The pairs used heterogeneous, complexly orchestrated resources (e.g., verbal and nonverbal; personal experience; shared histories; and the affordances of material objects) and actively negotiated the task, infusing it with their …

Queen Anne's revenge : a systems analysis of Blackbeard's flagship
… the pirate flagship Queen Anne's Revenge using a functional systems approach to observe how the ship affected and was affected by the macrosystems operating around her and the microsystems operating within her. To this end, I examined the archaeological and historical records relating to the ship …
