Learning to super-resolve images using self-similarities
… an algorithm that is able to better super-resolve images containing geometric regularities such as in urban scenes, cityscapes etc. We do so by extracting planar surfaces and their parameters (mid-level cues) from the scene and exploiting the detected scene geometry for better guiding the …

Using context to resolve ambiguity in sketch understanding
This thesis presents methods for improving sketch understanding, without knowledge of a domain or the particular symbols being used in the sketch, by recognizing common sketch primitives. We address two issues that complicate recognition in its early stages. The first is imprecision and …

Bargaining in public : resolve and publicity in international crises
How actors credibly signal resolve has been an enduring question for both scholars and policy makers. The existing literature disagrees on the effects of public threats on signaling resolve and the effects of political constraints on crisis outcomes. This dissertation examines how leaders use …

Probabilistic models to resolve cell identity and tissue architecture
… Spatial transcriptomic technologies promise to resolve cellular wiring diagrams of tissues in health and disease, but comprehensive mapping of cell types in situ remains a challenge. I present cell2location, a Bayesian model that can resolve fine-grained cell types in spatial transcriptomic data …

Segment-based image matting using inpainting to resolve ambiguities
… restoring defective areas in digital images - to resolve ambiguous areas in the alpha mattes. This thesis demonstrates that the combination of these ideas improves both the efficiency and accuracy of Image Matting. From the results obtained, this thesis proposes the following idea: The degree of …

The Use of Restorative Justice to Resolve Conflict in Schools
<p>The Use of Restorative Justice to Resolve Conflict in Schools Schools today are increasingly interested in utilizing conflict resolution techniques that can provide both a short-term solution and a long-term resolution that allows students and schools to focus on more prevalent issues such as …

How well can one resolve the state space of a chaotic map?
All physical systems are affected by some noise that limits the resolution that can be attained in partitioning their state space. For chaotic, locally hyperbolic flows, this resolution depends on the interplay of the local stretching/contraction and the smearing due to noise. My goal is to …

An investigation of second language learners' ability to resolve Anaphora in texts
This study investigated the resolution of anaphora by adult ESL learners of different proficiency levels. Two reading tests were given containing several common pro-forms. These represented two types of anaphora, NP and VP, in two conditions, context and no context. NP anaphora was presented in two …

The effect of the cosmic web on galaxy evolution in RESOLVE-A
… due to conflicting results. I use data from the Resolved Spectroscopy of a Local Volume (RESOLVE) survey, which is a low-redshift galaxy census complete down to log M?/M= 8.9, to study the relationship between galaxy properties and the cosmic web. I use the Discrete Persistence Structures …

A new liquid scintillation counting technique to resolve mixtures of two pure beta-emitting radionuclides
Methods currently available for the accurate activity resolution of dual-label solutions of pure β-emitting radionuclides are mostly time consuming and involve much effort. The goal of this thesis was therefore to devise a simpler method to achieve the same objective. The technique developed is …

An Exploration of the Experiences of Parents Who Seek to Resolve School Attendance Problems and Barriers
… the experiences of parents who actively seek to resolve SAPs, and perceive a child is unable to attend for reasons of anxiety and distress, possibly in relation to school-based influences (e.g., Mind, 2021; Ditch the Label, 2020). These aspects of SAPs have received scant attention in the …

The Influence of Culture on Senior Leaders as They Seek to Resolve Ethical Dilemmas at Work
This dissertation explores some of the difficulties that arise when using the cognitive development model to explain ethical behaviour in the world of work. An alternative theoretical position is explored, one that was originally developed in anthropology by Richard Shweder and Jonathan Haidt. This …

Using Mitochondrial Cytochrome C Oxidase Subunit I Sequence To Resolve The Springsnail Species Complex: Pyrgulopsis Micrococcus
… five clades of P. micrococcus being consistently resolved. These clades were more closely related to outgroup species (3.2-10.3%), than to other clades of P. micrococcus (3.4-12.2%), suggesting the presence of multiple species of polyphyletic origin. At least five species were identified using …
