Non-standard features
The dissertation is composed of three papers on properties and their relatives. "Second-Order Predication and the Metaphysics of Properties" argues that giving a happy account of second-order predication motivates us to identify properties with functions from <world, time> pairs to extensions …

Error-correction on non-standard communication channels
… communication systems are poorly modelled by the standard channels assumed in the information theory literature, such as the binary symmetric channel or the additive white Gaussian noise channel. Real systems suffer from additional problems including time-varying noise, cross-talk, synchronization …

Standard and Non-standard reasoning in Description Logics
… expressivity in the sense that every additional standard DL constructor, every extension of the TBox formalism, or every more powerful concrete domain, makes reasoning intractable. (2) Non-standard inferences for knowledge maintenance: non-standard inferences, such as matching, can support domain …

Statistical inference in two non-standard regression problems
… their respective least squares estimators have nonstandard asymptotics. It is divided in an introduction and two parts. The introduction motivates the study of nonstandard problems and presents an outline of the contents of the remaining chapters. In part I, the least squares estimator of a …

Essays on Futures Trading Under Non-Standard Assumptions
… decision-making models and contrast them to the standard utility model in futures markets. Specifically the rationality assumption is relaxed and more reasonable assumptions about agents' decision context are considered in three studies on the behavior of hedgers and traders. Hedging behavior in …

Non-standard employment in South Africa: how have we adapted in the past five years post amendments related to non-standard employment?
Non-Standard employment in South Africa: How have we adapted in the past five years post the amendments related to non-standard employment? Chapter 1 This chapter introduces the research question. Chapter 2 Focus on legislative history pertaining to non-standard employment. Chapter 3 Review four …

Improving seismic site response analysis for non-standard sites
… connected with many aspects of this phenomenon: from the knowledge of the fault rupture generating the seismic waves, through the overall travel path of these waves, to the modification of the waves near the surface. In this work, I concentrate my attention on the uncertainties connected …

Low energy consequences of some non-standard Higgs models
… solution of the naturalness problem of the Standard Model. These models contain new particles which cancel the quadratic divergences in the Higgs mass caused by the top, gauge and Higgs loops. These new particles contribute to loop induced interactions of the Higgs boson. The loop induced …

Transcoding multilingual and non-standard web content to voiceXML
… annotations enable Dinaco to pre-normalize non-standard words and to generate VoiceXML interfaces which have semantics of content. The semantics help Textto-Speech (TTS) tools to read multilingual text and to do text normalization. The results from experiments indicate that pre-normalizing …

Randomization analysis of experimental designs under non standard conditions
… When only adjacent experimental units have non negligible correlation, the Type Il(a) design provides an unbiased error estimate for the usual ANOVA. However the expectation of the treatment mean square is biased downwards for a positive correlation. First differencing results in a biased …

Empirical Tests of Non-standard Preferences for Beliefs and Information
This thesis consists of three chapters that conduct empirical tests of behavioural microeconomic theory. The first is a study of observational data, using reduced form and structural models, and the other two are based on laboratory experiments. The connecting thread between all three chapters is …

Composite Likelihood: Multiple Comparisons and Non-Standard Conditions in Hypothesis Testing
… for testing continuous differentiable linear and non-linear combinations of parameters and then we provide algorithms to compute the distribution of both full and composite likelihood ratio tests for different cases and dimensions. The proposed approach is evaluated by running simulations.

New Theory and Algorithms for Convex Optimization with Non-Standard Structures
… is to propose new optimization models for these “non-standard” problems, develop new first-order methods to solve these models, and analyze the convergence rate of these methods. In the first chapter, we present and analyze a new generalized Frank-Wolfe method for the composite convex optimization …

Non-Standard Fixed Hsla-V Military Bridge: Fabrication, Testing, and Model Simulation
… supply routes, and the designs are classified as standard (panel) and nonstandard, e.g. Army Facilities Components Systems (AFCS). The AFCS bridges consist of a series of simply supported spans of lengths up to 60 ft while panel bridges are suitable for spans up to 200 ft. Both types are designed …
