General and Efficient Bayesian Computation through Hamiltonian Monte Carlo Extensions
… Popular probabilistic programming languages Stan and PyMC rely on HMC’s generality and efficiency to provide automatic Bayesian inference platforms for practitioners. Despite its wide-spread use and numerous success stories, HMC has several well known pitfalls. This thesis presents extensions of …

Dioxirane-mediated epoxidation of alkenes: The development of catalytic and asymmetric protocols
A practical, general and efficient protocol for the catalytic epoxidation of alkenes has been developed. The in situ generation of reactive dioxiranes capable of epoxidizing a variety of alkenes under biphasic conditions has been accomplished using phase transfer catalysts bearing a carbonyl group. …

Cryptographic error correction
… "cryptography is about concealing information, and coding theory is about revealing it." Despite these apparently conflicting goals, the two fields have common origins and many interesting relationships. In this thesis, we establish new connections between cryptography and coding theory in two …

Vector offset operators for deformable organic objects.
Many natural materials and most of living tissues exhibit complex deformable behaviours that may be characteriseda s organic. In computer animation, deformable organic material behaviour is needed for the development of characters and scenes based on living creatures and natural phenomena. This …

Application of Pd Catalyzed Alkylation: Synthesis of Bicyclic Furans, Isoxazolines and New Cyclopentane Amino acid Analogs
… product synthesis, synthesis of polymers. Regio- and stereoselectivity is another facet of Pd catalyzed methodologies which has been extensively utilized in the last decade to obtain enantiopure compounds. The main emphasis of this work is to utilize Pd catalyzed allylic alkylation to synthesize …

Equity and Adequacy: A Funding Crisis in the Tennessee Education System.
… Recent legislative initiatives at both the state and federal level have created new systems of testing and performance standards that will hold schools and teachers accountable for students' achievement. Given the rapid changes that are being made, many state policymakers have noted the importance …
