Powers of Monomial Ideals
We study monomial ideals in polynomial rings in two variables x, y over a field K. We determine various monomial ideals I such that Ik = (Mn)k where M is the maximal ideal generated by x, y and k is the least such integer. This is related to the well-known notion of Ratliff-Rush closures of an …

The generative powers of demolition
When examining the factory within the urban fabric, especially those cases that are abandoned and considered obsolete, it may be possible to see the first generative act as one of un-building. Considering demolition as an activity of design, this thesis explores the potential of the …

Powers and the Metaphysics of Fundamentality
… and that this can be done if we adopt a powers-theoretic account of causation. Moreover, I argue that the resultant view of ground, what I call “powerful, existential causation,” has important consequences for the debate between foundationalists, according to whom there must exist …

Ideals of powers of linear forms
… two closely related problems about ideals of powers of linear forms. In the first chapter, we analyze a problem from spline theory, namely to compute the dimension of the vector space of tri-variate splines on a special class of tetrahedral complexes, using ideals of powers of linear forms. By …

Minor Powers Confronting Major Powers: A Comparative Examination of the Conditions Facilitating Decisions to go to War
… degrees of influence and capability. Major powers have immense resources at their disposal, while minor powers are often constrained in terms of structure and material. Thus, for minor powers, engaging in conventional wars against much larger and more powerful states is potentially ruinous …

Fractional parts of powers and related topics
… G. Xu about lower bounds for fractional parts of powers of rationals. Some theorems of a "semi-effective" nature are discussed and density results for certain constructed sets are proved. In Chapter 2, we utilize Euler-Maclaurin summation to describe the content of Pade-type approximants to the …

Exact powers of some multivariate test criteria
… time previous results regarding percentiles and powers of these criteria are examined and discussed.

Effective Chabauty for symmetric powers of curves
Faltings' theorem states that curves of genus g > 2 have finitely many rational points. Using the ideas of Faltings, Mumford, Parshin and Raynaud, one obtains an upper bound on the upper bound on the number of rational points, XI, [paragraph]2, but this bound is too large to be used in any …

FOURTH MOMENT AND SIMULATED POWERS OF MRPP STATISTICS.
… of (delta)(,1) is obtained. We obtain empirical powers of (delta)(,1), considering 10,000 samples for both small and large samples, using a Pearson type approximation based on four moments, as well as the Type III approximation. These powers are compared with those of the Wilcoxon test against …

Partitions into prime powers and related divisor functions
… function whose value at n is the sum of k-th powers of the prime divisors (with repetition) of n. For these last functions in particular, we also look at statistical results by comparing their distribution of values with the distribution of the largest prime factor dividing n. In addition to …

Separation of powers in the Kuwaiti criminal justice system
Discussions of the separation of powers tend to be related to the administrative state. By contrast, this research addresses the question of separating powers within the criminal justice system of Kuwait, examining the function of this division and the structures that are designed to protect the …

The representation of numbers as sums of unlike powers
… Waring's problem, for problems involving mixed powers. As with the other papers on the subject, the proof employs the machinery of the Hardy-Littlewood circle method. We also consider the problem of representing integers n in the form $n = x\sbsp{k}{k} + x\sbsp{k+1}{k+1} + \cdots + …

Tough Sell: Rising Powers, Domestic Legitimation and Costly International Initiatives
Rising powers sometimes pursue foreign policy initiatives that are costly and burdensome. While such initiatives may serve strategic or ideational purposes on the global stage, they must also be legitimized, specifically by receiving sufficient political support at home. This dissertation examines …
