Three Essays on Extremes and Non-Linearities in Asset Pricing
… which can be further characterized by a non-linear dependence structure. The second essay "Credit Cycle Dependent Spread Determinants in Emerging Sovereign Debt Markets", empirically estimates non-linear dependence structures of determinants of changes in sovereign bond spreads. Empirical …

Impact of data-dependent model selection on inference
… In simulations, I generate data, assuming both linear and non-linear dependence of hazard on a continuous covariate as well as no association. The generated data are then used to estimate a series of models with various functional form, to assess the impact of model selection on type I error and …

Blade dynamics and flux measurements for model seagrass blades in waves and currents
… velocity. The water-side transfer velocity had a non-linear dependence on velocity in that the rate of increase of the mass transfer velocity decreased with greater blade bending in flow.

Surface Wave Propagation and Global Crustal Tomography
… tomography using inter-station measurements. The non-linear dependence of surface wave phase upon large perturbations in crustal thickness as well as finite-frequency effects in global surface-wave tomography are investigated using wave propagation simulations. Calculations show that non-linearity …

Dependence testing in high dimension
"The study of dependence for high dimensional data originates in many different areas of contemporary research. While a lot of existing work focuses on measuring the linear dependence and monotone dependence for fixed dimensional data, comparatively less is concerned for more complex dependence …

Reduced Order Modeling for Efficient Stability Analysis in Structural Optimization
… solved using gradient-based approaches, whereas non-convex problems require heuristic methods. Over the past few decades, many optimization techniques have been presented in the literature to improve the efficiency of both these approaches. The present work focuses on the non-convex optimization …

Development of Fluidic Systems for Water Filtration and Bio-Separation
… of water through xylem. These include the non-linear dependence of resistance to fluid flow on filter thickness explained using a percolation-based model, ‘self-blocking’ behavior governed by the dissolution and convective re-deposition of hemicellulose within the xylem conduits, and …

Studies of catalysis of the hydrolysis of phenyl glycinate and some related esters
… this thesis. (iv) N-ethylmorpholine. An unusual non-linear dependence of the observed first order rate constants on catalyst concentration is shown to be consistent with complexing of N-ethylmorpholine and ester prior to reaction. Equilibrium constants for complex formation and rate constants for …

Structural Analysis of Reconstituted Collagen Type I - Heparin Cofibrils
… an unusually thick and straight shape, with a non-linear dependence in size distribution, width-to-length ratio, and morphology over a wide range of GAG concentrations. The experiments imply a pronounced impact of the nucleation phase on the cofibril morphology as a result of the strong …
