In Harm's Way: How Philadelphia's Urban Renewal Practices Steered Marginal People to Marginal Land
… dumping of locally unwanted land uses (LULUs) on marginal communities has been well documented, however environmental justice scholars have rarely written about how marginal groups have come to occupy their landscapes, particularly when natural hazards lie beneath.</p> <p>This dissertation …

Marginal bodies: actualising trans Utopias
This PhD focuses on transgender subjectivity and explores the ways in which trans is negotiated and compromised by and within social space, with particular attention to the dynamics and socio-cultural norms through which the transgendered body that identifies beyond the gender binary is mediated. …

Biomass Crops in Marginal Lands.
… non-food crops. Cultivating biomass crops on marginal land unsuitable for food production is consistently proposed as an alternative to minimize iLUC effects about land-use competition for food production, and its adverse effects (direct or indirect) on food security, land based GHG emissions …

Carbon Dynamics in Northern Marginal Seas
The marginal seas have, despite their relatively small area, an important role in the global carboncycle. They are largely influenced by carbon and nutrient fluxes from land and a large part of the biological production occurs in the marginal seas. The carbon dynamic in two shelf areas – The Baltic …

A Marginal Returns Theory of Politics
… rational agents are motivated by a quest for marginal returns to investment of time, money, and other resources. In this manuscript we argue that an analogue fundamental principle guides much of modern political science, but has remained largely This manuscript sets out to unearth, reshape and …

Bayesian Network Inference Using Marginal Trees
… in the join tree. After the two-way propagation, marginals for each non-evidence variable from the BN can be computed. Therefore, answering a single query with JTP yields computation that may remain unused. In this thesis, we propose marginal tree inference (MTI) as a new approach to ex- act …

Extensions of Markov Chain Marginal Bootstrap
The Markov chain marginal bootstrap (MCMB) is a new bootstrap method proposed by He and Hu (2002) for constructing confidence intervals or regions based on likelihood equations. It is designed to ease the computational burden of bootstrap in high-dimensional problems. It differs from the usual …

Faulkner's Marginal Couple and the Community
Unions of men and women at the margins of the community in Sanctuary, Light in August, Pylon, and The Wild Palms disturb that community's sense of itself. These alternative couples challenge mainstream Faulkner critics' assessment of gender, which derives largely from Cleanth Brooks's argument that …

La Marginal: A Coastal Promenade Park
This thesis explores alternate typologies for a coastal promenade park in the town of Arecibo, Puerto Rico. The proposal acts as a link between the town, the park and the coastal edge. The coastal promenade park is created as a connector, defined mostly by the concrete walls that resemble the …

Marginal Revenue Product Of Division I Swimmers
… The attempt of such research is to determine the marginal revenue product (MRP) and economic value of a Division I swimmer. The final results find that there is a significant relationship between certain MRP determining variables on swim program revenue and expenses. However, not all variables in …

On the edge-peripheral communities and marginal anthropology
… The Orkney archipelago.' This is also a work of marginal anthropology (Fox, 1975) that discusses both conventional and more experimental "ways of telling" in an attempt to interpret human social behaviour.<br/>

Alternations in the Splenic Marginal Zone with Age
<p>Splenic marginal zones are architecturally organized to generate a rapid response against blood- borne antigens entering the spleen. The marginal zone is a distinct anatomical micro-environment whose main components include the marginal zone macrophages, the marginal zone B cells, the marginal …

Marginal donor characteristics and outcomes after liver transplantation

A DNA Determination in Developing Chick Marginal Tissue
During the early part of this century the Mendelian factors of inheritance were found to be localized in chromosomal filaments of deoxyribonucleic acid (DMA) located in the cell nucleus. These inheritance factors were also ascribed to the cytoplasm by the German botanist, Carl Correns (1904). …

Recursive marginal quantization: extensions and applications in finance
… calibration of large derivative books. Recursive marginal quantization of an Euler scheme has recently been proposed as an efficient numerical method for evaluating functionals of solutions of stochastic differential equations. This algorithm is generalized and it is shown that it is possible to …

Marginal Mixture Analysis of Correlated Bounded -Response Data
We illustrate the issues and methodology in the context of an immunogenicity study of measles vaccine for children as well as an ultrasound safety study of the occurrence and extent of lung hemorrhage in laboratory animals due to focused ultrasound exposure.

Markov Chain Marginal Bootstrap for Generalized Estimating Equations
… In this thesis, we extend the Markov chain marginal bootstrap (MCMB) (He and Hu, 2002) to statistical inference for robust GEE estimators with longitudinal data, allowing the estimating functions to be non-smooth and the responses correlated within subjects. By decomposing the problem into …
