Planetary Materials Science and Astrobiology
… hold together is also in the methodology and guiding philosophy: understanding what is there (what atoms and how they are arranged, what their interrelationships are) is the first step to unravelling the record of processes stored in planetary materials of all kinds. In this thesis, the tools …

Causal mechanisms that enable institutionalisation of open government data in Kenya
… in the Kenya Open Data Initiative (KODI). The guiding philosophy for this qualitative study is critical realism, which is implemented using Pawson & Tilley's realist evaluation model. Data is obtained through observation of open data events, semi-structured interviews and documentary materials …

A variational multiscale computational framework for nonlinear interfacial solid mechanics
… is the Variational Multiscale (VMS) method, a guiding philosophy for recovering stability through the modeling of features that are filtered out by discretization. The enhanced stability of the framework enables the treatment of various interface kinematics, such as nonmatching meshes in domain …

Generative 3D scene modeling: algorithm and applications
… and applications. Algorithmically, the guiding philosophy is to leverage powerful 2D generative priors to overcome the scarcity of high-quality 3D data. This leads to two chapters: (1) SuperGaussian, which adapts pre-trained video models for 3D scene editing, showing that video priors …

Extended discrete choice models : integrated framework, flexible error structures, and latent variables
… choice sets, and decision protocols. The guiding philosophy is that the generalized framework allows for a more realistic representation of the behavior inherent in the choice process, and consequently a better understanding of behavior, improvements in forecasts, and valuable information …
