Social Links
Social Links is a collection of four short stories that examines human relationships by means of content and supporting narratological theory and techniques. "The Brilliant Green” looks at a long-running relationship that finally gains the potential to change. "Three Dates Until You Die” is about …

Legendrian Torus Links
… is to determine whether two Legendrian knots or links are equivalent. In this dissertation, we will study the equivalence and non-equivalence of Legendrian links that are topologically torus links.</p>

Invariants of Legendrian links
… computable invariants of Legendrian knots and links in standard contact three-space, allowing us to answer many previously open questions in contact knot theory. The origin of these invariants is the powerful Chekanov-Eliashberg differential graded algebra, which we reformulate and generalize. …

Rate selection for MIMO links
… provide more reliable, higher capacity wireless links. As a result, these links can support a set of much higher data rates than single-input single-output (SISO) links. However, it is not always optimal for a node to transmit at its largest supported rate. Depending on various factors, it may be …

On Nullification of Knots and Links
… of local crossing change on oriented knots and links called nullification.</p> <p>One can define a distance between types of knots and links based on the minimum number of nullification moves necessary to change one to the other. Nullification distances form a class of isotopy invariants for …

Shake Slice and Shake Concordant Links
The study of knots and links up to concordance has proved significant for many problems in low dimensional topology. In the 1970s, Akbulut introduced the notion of shake concordance of knots, a generalization of the study of knot concordance. Recent work of Cochran and Ray has advanced our …

Axonal Translation and Links to Neuropathies
Neurons connect to their remote targets via axons, which usually survive for the lifetime of an organism. Spatiotemporal regulation of the axonal proteome by local protein synthesis (LPS) plays a critical role in neuronal wiring and axon survival, raising the intriguing possibility that some …

Modeling photonic links in Verilog-A
Integrated photonic links are a promising emerging technology that can relieve the interconnect bottleneck in core-to-core and core-to-memory communications of modern processors. Developing and optimizing photonic link systems requires simulation of integrated photonic devices side-by-side with …

Channel coding for high speed links
… interconnects, referred to as the high-speed links. Although both power-constrained and bandwidth-limited, the high-speed links need to support data rates in the Gbps range at low error probabilities. Modeling the high-speed link as a communication system with noise and intersymbol …

Rain scatter interference in satellite links
… attenuation and depolarization in satellite links can create intersystem interference. This type of interference was investigated extensively in the 1970's for terrestrial links, but little has been done to study its effects on modern and future satellite links. This thesis reports on studies …

Technology and Educational Change: Making the Links
This study investigated teachers' professional learning and pedagogy as they grappled with the challenges and implications of using new information and communications technologies (ICT) in their classrooms. It contributes to knowledge about the way teachers learn and change, their pedagogical …

Quantifying and qualifying the links that bind
Employees’ links to organizations and coworkers represent an important factor related to many work-related constructs in the Industrial-Organizational (I-O) Psychology literature. Often, I-O researchers conceptualize these employee links through either the number of workplace links or an employee’s …

Development of novel intelligence links and pigments
This thesis details the development and characterisation of several novel optical indicators covering a range of different analytes including UV dose, relative humidity, hydrogen peroxide vapour, ammonia and volatile amines. Two UV dosimeters and the use of these novel dosimeters to measure solar …

Climate changing in microwave telecommunication links (sleet)
… (sleet) on horizontal, terrestrial microwave links. An important parameter in this model is the altitude difference between the link and the melting layer. This is the layer near the zero-degree isotherm (ZDI) where falling ice begins to melt into rain. Melting ice particles produce a specific …

Aetiological links between oral pathogens and dementia.
Introduction: Several observational studies support an association between periodontal disease and Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Poorly managed oral hygiene together with the immunosuppressed status of demented patients appears central to this hypothesis as together they contribute not only to an …

Graphene Modulators for Silicon Photonic Optical Links
… that can be used for different types of optical links. This includes a graphene-based electro-absorption modulator, ring resonator modulator, and Mach-Zehnder modulator. The double-layer structure enables the absorption and phase of an optical carrier signal to be electrostatically controlled …

IP Networks Over Heterogeneous Embedded Serial Links
… a variety of conventional and unconventional links. Interstice exposes a reprogrammable, dynamically-updatable packet-forwarding strategy, enabling forwarder nodes in principle to act as hubs, bridges, full routers, or implement firewalls or NAT, as application requirements and platform …

Optical receiver techniques for integrated photonic links
Integrated photonics has emerged as an I/O technology set to disrupt the communication fabric of many-core computer systems. The optical technology uses wavelength-division-multiplexing and a high degree of integration in order to surpass electrical I/O in both throughput and energy by more than an …
