Hydrological regime changes in a Canadian Prairie wetland basin
… Since then, the region has undergone rapid changes in land use and climate, both which affect streamflow generating processes. This study evaluates the detailed hydrological impact of regional changes to climate on an instrumented research catchment, the Smith Creek Research Basin (SCRB); an …

Glacier retreat and projected river regime changes in the hydrologically highly-coupled Virkisjökull catchment, SE Iceland
… model (WaSIM) to project potential river regime during stages of glacier retreat. Results show: (1) glacier hypsometry sensitizes the catchment to a disproportionately rapid increase in runoff as the snowline rises resulting in a potential annual increase in river discharge of up to 37% ; …

Spatiotemporal dynamics of carbon cycling and thermokarst in response to climate and fire-regime changes in the Arctic tundra biome
Amplified climate change and fire regime shifts in the northern high latitudes are posing growing threat to key properties and functions of tundra ecosystems, including soil carbon stock, permafrost stability and vegetation types. However, it remains poorly understood how tundra ecosystems will …

Studying Regime Change using Directional Change
… financial crisis or political events. The term regime change is used to describe such significant change of collective behaviour. This thesis studies how regime change can be measured and detected in financial markets. The traditional ways to detect regime changes are based on analysis of the …

Female labour force participation amidst the reestablishment of the Islamic emirate of Afghanistan 2021-2023
… examining whether the re-establishment of the regime played an essential role in this change. The study employed a mixed method approach, combining the quantitative approach using the ordinary least squares (OLS) model that estimates data from 1990-2021 with the qualitative in-depth interviews …

Changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes: narrating a regime change
… States has demonstrated an ability to effect regime change through the use of special warfare, particularly clandestine and covert operations. However, these regime changes have failed to yield favorable, enduring strategic results for the United States. One reason for this failure can be …

Inter-Annual to Inter-Decadal Variability of Upwelling and Anchovy Population off Northern Chile
… system, to understand the spatial and temporal changes in the wind field, and how these changes may affect the upwelling and anchovy variability. Data used in this thesis includes time series of wind, sea level, sea surface temperature, and atmospheric pressure at coastal stations, from 1960 to …

The Real Effects of Opacity: Evidence from Tax Avoidance
… while simultaneously controlling for tax regime changes around the date of IFRS adoption provide direct evidence on the direction of the association, namely that opacity causes tax avoidance. Similarly, the results from tests using the initial enforcement of insider trading laws provide …

Water Demand, Adaptive Capacity, and Drought: an Analysis of the Upper Klamath Basin, Oregon and California
… as global climate models suggest precipitation regime changes and an increase of drought. This research conducts a case-study of the Upper Klamath Basin, located in south-central Oregon and northern California, a microcosm of the arid and semi-arid American West that experienced an economically, …

Essays In Adaptive Learning And Mean-Square Stability In Regime Switching Models
… for stability under recurring structural changes. Using a finite state Markov process to model stochastically evolving, state-dependent parameters I find that by employing the conditions unique to mean-square stability, the minimum state variable (MSV) solution, found in non-linear models …

Responsive, multimodal imaging agents for MRI: advancing the detection of metals and oxidized species implicated in neurodegenerative disorders
… chemistry were found to produces significant changes in transverse relaxivity, corresponding to regime changes upon nanoparticle aggregation. These changes agreed well with theoretical modeling and laid the foundation for the subsequent design of multimodal imaging agents.The first multimodal …

A framework for regime identification and asset allocation
The purpose of this thesis is to examine a regime-based asset allocation strategy and evaluate whether accounting for regime-dependent risk and return of asset classes provides any significant improvement on portfolio performance. The South African market and economy are considered as a proxy for …

Is international law a building or stumbling block to States' response to a legacy of massive atrocities? Reassessing the obligations to investigate and prosecute
Post-conflict situations, regime changes, and peace processes within situations of active hostility pose tremendous challenges for the governments and societies involved. The inherent dilemma between justice and the international obligations to investigate and prosecute a legacy of large-scale …

Interspecific wood trait variation predicts decreased carbon residence time in changing forests
… Acer spp. in eastern forests, due to disturbance regime changes, is driving a decrease in the mean species-weighted deadwood decay rate, decreasing the total C storage capacity of regional forests. 3. We observed significantly greater interspecific variation in deadwood decay rates than short- …
