Unbounded unimodal search and pursuit problems
… the unbounded discrete unimodal search problem. New results on the computational complexity of determining if capture is possible is obtained for discrete pursuit problems. Similar techniques lead to new complexity results on some combinatorial games. Upper and lower bounds on the time for …

´Carceri d'Invenzione´ von Brian Ferneyhough : kompositionstechnische und höranalytische Aspekte
… ersten Stücks, Superscriptio, führt ein in die 'New Complexity' genannte Kompositionstechnik: Eine Zahlenreihe organisiert (z.B. als Intervallreihe) durch Transformationen, Kombinationen und Überlagerungen die Gesamtform des Stücks, die Anordnung der Takte, ihre jeweils unterschiedliche Länge und …

Computational applications of noise sensitivity
… and monotone functions. Following this we give new complexity-theoretic and algorithmic applications of noise sensitivity: * Regarding computational hardness amplification, we prove a general direct product theorem that tightly characterizes the hardness of a composite function g 9 f in terms of …

A validation study of service complexity measures for employees in the hotel/motel front office
… by attempting to first identify the important complexity variables of service, and second to evaluate how those variables relate to employee attitudinal reactions to their job. A total of sixteen job characteristics, theorized to have a positive effect on service complexity, were empirically …

Control, Detention and Torture in the So-called Global War on Terror
… form a collective body of research contributing new knowledge about unseen or underrepresented aspects of conflict and counterterrorism in the so-called Global War on Terror, including the detention camps at the US Naval Base at Guantanamo Bay, the extraordinary rendition process, the CIA secret …

On the Sample Efficiency of Data-Driven Decision Making
… approach to understanding the fundamental complexity of interactive decision making. We propose the Decision Making with Structured Observation (DMSO) framework, which encompasses bandits, reinforcement learning, and more general settings. Within this framework, we develop a new complexity …

An Extended Ant Colony Optimisation Approach for the Mass Customisation Paradigm
… processes more complex. By understanding complexity and the direction in which it flows in assembly plants, there is an opportunity to minimise its impact on assembly operations. Additionally, planning and scheduling can become increasingly complex with frequently changing customer orders …

Underground literature: Reshaping gender and nation in British and Irish fiction, 1871-1935
… Bram Stoker’s The Snake’s Pass (1890), bringing new complexity to portrayals and performances of gender in Stoker’s novel. My third chapter pairs H.G. Wells’s The Time Machine (1895) with his gaming books, Floor Games (1911) and Little Wars (1913); in it I offer an account of how the miniature …

Complexity management of H.264/AVC video compression.
… standards. However, the high computational complexity of H. 264/AVC is a problem for codecs running on low-power hand held devices and general purpose computers. This thesis presents new techniques to reduce, control and manage the computational complexity of an H. 264/AVC codec. A new …

Memories of things real and imagined : narratives of youth and middle age in Anthony Powell's A dance to the music of time
… the first allows not only for analysis of the newer genre as practiced by Powell but also for provisional definition of the Bildunqsroman of middle life as written by some other contemporary novelists.Jenkins's youthful cycle of development occurs within the first trilogy or spring "season" of …

Advanced Ordered Weighted Averaging Methods in Robust Optimization
… regret approaches. This model is complemented by new complexity results, including insights into the inapproximability and approximability of OWA regret, providing stronger approximation bounds that asymptotically improve on previously established results for classic OWA models. These advancements …

Aaron Cassidy’s Second String Quartet: Resilient structures, indeterminate localities, and performance practice
… recordings, compositional sketches, as well as new on-site research and interviews at the University of Huddersfield, this dissertation examines the work’s aesthetic context, structures, sound, and its interpreters’ performance practice. The analysis provides an introduction to parsing Cassidy’s …

Measuring Evolutionary Testability of Real-Time Software
Evolutionary testing is a new testing technique based on the application of evolutionary algorithms. It can be used to automatically generate test cases which satisfy a given test criterion. For the best- and worst-case execution time analysis of real-time systems it can be applied to generate test …

The logarithmic Quot space
… analogous to the classical Hilbert scheme. The new complexity in the logarithmic space can then be viewed as stemming from the complexity of proper monomorphisms in logarithmic geometry. Our construction generalises the logarithmic Donaldson--Thomas space studied by Maulik--Ranganathan to …

Engineering for humans : a new extension to STPA
… connected. In order to ensure that increased complexity does not simply bring an increased number of accidents, this new complexity demands new safety analysis tools. Systems-Theoretic Accident Model and Processes (STAMP) is a new accident causality model developed by Nancy Leveson at the …

A Charcuterie Platter of QCD Matter
… states in nature called hadrons? I initiate a new formalism using Heavy Quark Effective Theory to study this dynamical process known as hadronization. I shed new light on the transverse momentum-dependent fragmentation process of heavy (charm and bottom) quarks by making use of the fact that …

Proactive Software Complexity Assessment
… In continuous development, however, software complexity tends to increase gradually, the consequence of which is deteriorating maintainability over time. During short periods of time, the gradual complexity increase is insignificant, but over longer periods of time, complexity can develop to …
