On the Intelligibility of Grounding Autonomy
… such issue is the purity dilemma, posed by Ted Sider, which follows from a plausible constraint placed on our theorizing about fundamentality, viz., that the fundamental bedrock of the world contains nothing but purely fundamental phenomena. It is argued that purity creates a problem for …

Computational differences between whispered and non-whispered speech
… of information. In this dissertation we con- sider the question: What makes whispering a good form of communication? We examine the di erences between normal phonated speech and whispered speech, and gauge the e ectiveness of state-of-the-art speech recognition al- gorithms at recognizing …

Modeling and Simulation of Morphological Instabilities in Thin Elastic Solids
… design, but emerging technologies con-sider such behavior as an opportunity for novel functionality. The formation of wrinkle patterns on thin sheets has also emerged rapidly as canonical problems to investigate pattern formation in the physics community. The nonlinearities of the …

A Descriptive Grammar of Morphosyntactic Constructions in Ugandan Sign Language (UgSL)
… preliminary survey of UgSL grammar to provide a sider context for subsequent chapters; and part III is a detailed survey of five morphosyntactic domains of UgSL. The author is a native Deaf user of UgSL and a member of the Ugandan Deaf Community, as well as being fluent in several other sign …

Zeitreisen erklären
… Personenstadien differenziert werden, wie Ted Sider (2001) es tut. Ich komme im Rahmen dieser Arbeit zu den Ergebnissen, dass erstens bisher kein Modell von Zeit oder Persistenz bekannt ist, für das Zeitreisen grundsätzlich auszuschließen sind. Eine umfangreiche Systematik über Möglichkeiten …

The psychological effects of detention with particular reference to the South African political detainee
… of variables likely to be operative are considered. Solitary confinement, torture, interrogation, reactions to severe stress situations, and uncertainty, unpredictability and uncontrollability are given separate discussion, prior to an at tempt to con sider the interaction of these variables …

The significance of metaphysics
… focus on the views developed by Theodore Sider. Metaphysics is, on these views, an inquiry into the world's fundamental structure. I argue that this approach is unsatisfactory because it cannot guarantee that metaphysical disputes are significant in the way I describe. It thus threatens to …

Consensus in multi-agent systems with time-delays
… only on the algebraic connectivity of the considered network topologies, thus reducing greatly the computational complexity of the procedure. Obviously, this result implies the existence of a minimum dwell time such that the proposed consensus protocol is stable for slow swit things between …

Complex Urban Road Networks: Static Structures and Dynamic Processes
… but consistent distributions for the considered centrality measures. Then we delve into a comparative analysis of the efficacy of various node re- moval strategies in terms of inducing damage to the reliability of real-world urban road networks. The impact of five strategic …

Associating adverse drug effects with protein targets by integrating adverse event, in vitro bioactivity, and pharmacokinetic data
Adverse drug effects are unintended and undesirable effects of medicines, causing attrition of molecules in drug development and harm to patients. To anticipate potential adverse effects early, drug candidates are commonly screened for pharmacological activity against a panel of protein targets. …
