Data on elliptic curves with high rank
In this thesis, a map that takes points from a given Elliptic Curve in Weierstrass form to points on the corresponding curve in Hasse form was derived. This was implemented in the Maple programming language in order to allow the transformation of points into Hasse form so that an embedding into the …

Models of high rank for weakly scattered theories
The Scott rank of a countable structure A, denoted sr(A), was observed by Nadel to be at most wA + 1, where wA4 is the least ordinal not recursive in A. Let T be weakly scattered and L(a,T) be E2-admissible. We give a sufficient condition, the B,-hypothesis, under which T has model A with w4A = a …

Matrix completion algorithms with applications in biomedicine, e-commerce and social science
… matrix completion algorithms work well for low rank matrices. Such matrices find many applications in recommender systems and social network analysis. On the other hand, biological networks often yield high rank matrices. For example, the adjacency matrix representing interactions between …

The Satire of Jane Austen
… century and opening nineteenth is one who holds high rank among the writers of comedy. Jane Austen sweetened the world's fiction by her contributions, while her censoring did much to revolutionize the novel of her day. Calmly, placidly and quietly she mingled comedy and realism. At a first …

An investigation into the bioconversion of South African sub-bituminous coal by Trametes species and Trichoderma atroviride
… processes to yield value-added compounds. Low rank coals (LRC), which are less desirable for combustion processes than high rank coals, are more amenable to biodegradation due to their high moisture content and oxygen-containing functionalities. LRC are therefore ideal for application to …

Reduced Order Methods for Large Scale Riccati Equations
… to form algebraic Riccati equations involving high rank matrices. Although we restrict our attention to control problems with small numbers of control inputs, we allow for potentially high order control outputs. Problems with this structure appear in a number of practical applications yet no …

Multiprocessor sparse SVD algorithms and applications
… recent information-retrieval techniques in which high-rank approximations to large sparse term-document matrices are needed, and by nonlinear inverse problems arising from seismic reflection tomography applications.

Building An Identity : Two Noblewomen In England 1566-1666
… extending her commemoration from family to lower ranking people who were significant in sustaining her perception of her own identity. Because both patrons of multiple monuments were women, and so far as it is now possible to establish, these were the only female patrons of long series of …

The Dynamics of Social Hierarchy
… of research has outlined that humans gain social rank through two pathways: prestige and dominance. This dual model of social hierarchy advocates that individuals either attain positions of high rank though signals of an ability and willingness to either inflict harm (dominance) or confer benefits …

Tensor rank : some lower and upper bounds
… [25] and Raz [19] show that good enough tensor rank lower bounds have implications for algebraic circuit/formula lower bounds. We explore tensor rank lower and upper bounds, focusing on explicit tensors. For odd d, we construct field-independent explicit 0/1 tensors T : [n]d --> F with rank at …

Accuracy or approximation? : measurement strategy for successful land reforms in Rwanda
… in less than two decades. Rwanda climbed to 2nd rank in 2018 in World Bank's ranking of 'Ease of Registering Property' from 137th rank in 2008. Rwanda created its cadastre at a reasonably low cost and in a relatively shorter time period as it adopted the 'general boundaries' or visible boundaries …

Unangax̂ Mummies as Whalers: A Multidisciplinary Contextualization of Human Mummification in the Aleutian Islands
… for the whaling elite and perhaps others of high rank in Unangax̂ communities. A comparative approach based on ethnographic analogy further explores the metaphysical relationship between hunter and whale. The geographical boundary for this study is also widened because mummification was …

Geometrically-informed methods of wave-based imaging

The chemistry of British bituminous coals : an assessment of phase transfer catalysed reactions in the determination of coal structure
… they have the potential to bring about selective high conversion reactions, under mild conditions, (often in the past, severe reaction conditions have had to be used to degrade the coals, this in turn resulted in the loss of much of the structural information). We have applied a variety of …
