New directions in streaming algorithms
… of available data have led to the emergence of new computational models for data analysis. One such model is captured by the notion of streaming algorithms: given a sequence of N items, the goal is to compute the value of a given function of the input items by a small number of passes and using …

New Directions in Metal Chalcogenide Nanochemistry
Colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals have shown great promise in functional devices such as solar cells and LEDs, but still relatively little is understood about the chemistry of their formation and resulting structure. In this thesis, we describe the results of our study of ultrathin Bi2S3 …

Eagle Vision : new directions in K-12 GIS
Eagle Vision is an NSF-funded three-year project that instructs High School teachers working in tribal schools in GIS and GIT, and in GIS-based curriculum design. Integration of GIS into the secondary level classroom has faced many barriers, and despite extensive efforts on the part of Eagle Vision …

New directions for assisted housing mobility in America
… mobility, efforts are underway to develop a new generation of programs. In a shift in institutional context, Public Housing Authorities (PHAs), rather than federal or nonprofit agencies, are taking the lead. Critically, PHAs are for the first time attempting to integrate substantial mobility …

New Directions in State Crime: A Queer Criminology Perspective
… the scholarship has been slow to integrate new criminological perspectives. The field is aware of state-perpetrated harms committed against queer and gender non-conforming individuals, yet there are limited works that explicitly frame the state as a criminal actor. This paper argues for the …

Theorizing in Unfamiliar Contexts: New Directions in Translation Studies
This thesis attempts to offer a reconceptualization of translation analysis. It argues that there is a growing interest in examining translations produced outside the discipline‟s historical field of focus. However, the tools of analysis employed may not have sufficient flexibility to examine …

New directions for remote data integrity checking of cloud storage
… during the repair of damaged data). A new paradigm is proposed, in which the data owner fully outsources both the data storage and the management of the data. In traditional distributed RDC schemes, the repair phase imposes a significant burden on the client, who needs to expend a …

New Directions in Bandit Learning: Singularities and Random Walk Feedback
<p>My thesis focuses new directions in bandit learning problems. In Chapter 1, I give an overview of the bandit learning literature, which lays the discussion framework for studies in Chapters 2 and 3. In Chapter 2, I study bandit learning problem in metric measure spaces. I start with multi-armed …

Searching for the ideal river? New directions in geographical geomorphology
… on case studies from western China and Aotearoa New Zealand, the thesis demonstrates how the contemporary practice of geomorphology and river management are entangled with normative understandings of an ideal river. It advances this argument through three interventions focusing on geomorphic …

New directions in sublinear algorithms and testing properties of distributions
This thesis deals with sublinear algorithms for various types of problems in statistics, combinatorial optimization and graph algorithms. A first focus of this thesis is algorithms for testing whether a probability distribution, to which the algorithms have sample access, is equal to a given …

Constructions, Lower Bounds, and New Directions in Cryptography and Computational Complexity
… Machines. Our technical developments relate this new model with previous works in derandomization. For example, we show that to derandomize parts of BPP it is in some sense sufficient to derandomize BPNC (a class believed to be much lower than P ⊆ BPP). We also obtain a number of results for …

Modelling fragile X syndrome in rats: new directions in translational research
… This thesis explored the validity of a new rat model for FXS (Fmr1 KO rat). I showed that Fmr1 KO rats exhibit normal spatial navigation memory, social interactions and anxiety levels. On the contrary, when subjects were tested in a battery of spontaneous exploration tasks: object …

Deliberative Democracy and Expertise: New Directions for 21st Century Technology Assessment
… dissertation then goes on to suggest how these new insights into the democratization of expertise might affect future instantiations of technology assessment mechanisms (such as the office of Technology Assessment) in the U.S.

Fault Attacks on Embedded Software: New Directions in Modeling, Design, and Mitigation
This research investigates an important class of hardware attacks against embedded software, which uses fault injection as a hacking tool. Fault attacks use well-chosen, targeted fault injection combined with clever system response analysis to break the security of a system. In case of a fault …
