Atom interferometry with phase-masked optical fields
We have investigated the use of two-photon induced spin excitation for applications to atom interferometry for lithography and rotation sensing. Our efforts have been grouped into two parts: theoretical study of schemes for nanolithography, and experimental investigation of novel schemes for …

Determination of Backup Alarm Masked Threshold in Construction Noise
… when compared to their passive counterparts. The masked threshold of a vehicular backup alarm was determined for audiometrically normal and non-normal hearers using two types of sound transmission devices and their passive counterparts within pink noise and milling machine noise at intensities of …

Combining Masked Autoencoding and Neural Fields for Multi-band Satellite Understanding
Multi-spectral satellite remote sensing is a primary way to monitor planet-scale events such as deforestation, land-cover change, fire, and flooding. Unfortunately, incomplete spatial coverage and sparse temporal sampling make it challenging to develop a unified understanding of the environment. We …

Towards a Unified Framework for Visual Recognition and Generation via Masked Generative Modeling
… for visual data recognition and generation via masked generative modeling, and further demonstrate its superior power to address challenges across various applications. We will begin with MAGE, a novel framework that unifies image generation and recognition while achieving state-ofthe-art …

Masked antipriming: a behavioral and event-related potential examination of short-term antipriming effects
… the prior findings by establishing a new masked antipriming paradigm. This new paradigm allowed examination of the antipriming effect in a task where the prime and target are only separated by milliseconds (a short-term memory task) as opposed to the minutes of separation between prime and …

Taste-masked quinine formulations for flexible pediatric drug dosing in oral treatment of malaria
De meeste geneesmiddelen worden specifiek gecommercialiseerd voor volwassenen waardoor het gebrek aan pediatrische geneesmiddelvormen specifiek ontwikkeld voor kinderen een wereldwijd probleem is. Bijgevolg zijn zorgverstrekkers vaak genoodzaakt om voor pediatrische toepassingen geneesmiddelen te …

A hybrid method for impulse response measurements with synthesized musical tones and Masked-MLS Stimuli
… community that the use of musical or music-masked probe stimuli can mitigate problems of occupied measurements. It is therefore hypothesised as a starting point of this thesis that the use of musical tone like stimuli or musically masked testing signals can be used to determine impulse …

Synthetic Routes to Therapeutic Agents Via Masked Functionalities: From Orthogonal Peptide Crosslink to Photothermal Cancer Prodrug
The theonellamides are a family of compounds distinguished by their crosslinking ô-histidinoalanine (ô-HAL) residue. Part one of this dissertation details the synthesis of an orthogonally protected ô-HAL building block that will be incorporated into a total synthesis of theonellamide C. Selective …

FROM ANTIBODY-DRUG CONJUGATES TO MASKED ANTIBODIES: BIOPHYSICAL INSIGHT FOR THE RATIONAL DESIGN OF FUTURE THERAPIES
Monoclonal antibodies have become a major class of therapeutics over the past twenty-five years and, during this time, many successful antibody scaffolds have been based on wild-type humanized and human sequences of the immunoglobulin G isotype 1 (IgG1) subclass. In the past, several mutations have …

Porosity at play: investigating the role of facilitator in the training and performance of masked theatre
The study utilizes the practitioner/researcher’s own artistic process as a laboratory, if you will, to conduct a broader inquiry into how theatre masks work and a facilitator’s role within the process of "bringing them to life."

Template-based control for bottom-up nanostructures - multilayer block copolymer graphoepitaxy and masked ZnO nanowire growth
Directed self-assembly (DSA) mutually benefits both bottom-up growth and top-down nanofabrication. This thesis investigates templated control over the alignment and morphology of two bottom-up nanostructures, ZnO nanowires (NWs) and cylinder-forming block copolymers (BCPs). Despite material …

Efficacy of Entomopathogenic Nematodes and Entomopathogenic Fungi against Masked Chafer White Grubs, Cyclocephala spp. (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae)
… bassiana) were evaluated for efficacy against masked chafer white grub, Cyclocephala spp., under laboratory and greenhouse conditions, as well as their efficacy against various grub stages in the field. Under both laboratory and greenhouse conditions, additive interactions were found between …

Accessible theatre: the application of human ethology and innate neurobiological systems to full-masked devised theatre practice
… concerned with the challenges of devising a full-masked theatre performance that is largely accessible to audiences of every age, social background and culture. The study is original and contributes to knowledge in two distinct ways; it is to this researcher’s knowledge the only such research that …

Assessing the sensitivity and efficiency of conservation dogs: a case study on Tasmanian masked owls (Tyto novaehollandiae castanops)
… with a trained detection dog, with the Tasmanian masked owl (Tyto novaehollandiae castanops) as the focal species. Although conservation detection dogs are recognized as an increasingly valuable tool, there are often no clear standards by which their performance is routinely assessed. I review the …

Just Throw it in the Pot! The Cultural Geography of Hidden Landscapes and Masked Performances in South Louisiana Gumbo Cooking
… in the discipline of geography. By looking at masked performances/hidden landscapes, geographers can get a more nuanced idea of what is actually happening in landscapes and thus realize a true human geography of space. Studying gumbo can help geographers better understand the …

Building small domain-specific masked language models vs. large generative models for clinical decision support and their effects on users.
… first part of this thesis I introduce a set of Masked-Language model transformer based models for a diverse set of medical natural language processing tasks including Named Entity Recognition, Negation Extraction and Relation extraction that perform as well or better than bigger …

The Detection of Warning Signals While Wearing Active Noise Reduction and Passive Hearing Protection Devices
… described herein was undertaken to determine how masked thresholds changed when individuals wore an active noise reduction (ANR) hearing protection device (HPD), a passive HPD, or no HPD. An ANR earmuff, a passive earmuff, and a user-molded foam earplug were tested in two types of noises (pink and …

Characterization of Oslds For Use In Small Field Photon Beam Dosimetry
… whose visible active luminescent area has been masked. The phantom has two measurement points with two OSLDs at each location and a film insert for localization purposes only. The masked OSLDs were characterized accounting for various correction factors associated with OSLD dose calculations. …
