Rousseau's solitary man
This thesis gives a synoptic account of Rousseau’s description, in the Second Discourse, of the original a-sociability of human beings and the subsequent emergence of human society as the chance outcome of various contingent alterations to the original human condition. It takes up three major …

SOCIAL DEPRIVATION AND SOLITARY CONFINEMENT
<p> Solitary confinement is one of the most enduring, severe, and restrictive prison practices that has been widely debated since its inception in the early 19th century. Across the United States, the development of supermaximum prison facilities and the use of solitary confinement have become …

Large amplitude solitary waves in space plasmas
… for large amplitude stationary electrostatic solitary waves in multispecies plasmas. In the following chapters we apply these general results to certain specific examples. In two-electron plasmas we consider electron-acoustic solitary waves in Chapter 3 and ion-acoustic solitons in Chapter 4. …

Analysis of solitary waves in inhomogeneous systems
In this thesis, we aim to investigate solitary waves of three nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS)-type models, namely, the NLS equation with an asymmetric double Dirac delta potential, the NLS equation with a Dirac delta potential on star graphs, and the discrete nonlinear Schrödinger (DNLS) equation. For …

Solitary Souls: Awakening Responses in American Literature
To develop their inner lives, American fictional characters like Melville's Ishmael, Twain's Huck Finn, and Chopin's Edna Pontellier strive to see themselves accurately in relation to others and to American society in general. During this process of self-definition, these characters frequently …

Nonlinear dynamics of three-dimensional solitary waves
… (plane) and three-dimensional (fully localized) solitary waves, often referred to as "lumps"; these are nonlinear disturbances that propagate at speeds below cmin without change of shape owing to a perfect balance between the opposing effects of wave dispersion and nonlinear steepening. Moreover, …

Three-dimensional solitary waves in dispersive wave systems
Fully localized three-dimensional solitary waves, commonly referred to as 'lumps', have received far less attention than two-dimensional solitary waves in dispersive wave systems. Prior studies have focused in the long-wave limit, where lumps exist if the long-wave speed is a minimum of the phase …

Dynamics and stability of gravity-capillary solitary waves
… it has been recognized that a new class of solitary waves can propagate in nonlinear dispersive wave systems if the phase speed of linear waves attains a local extremum at some finite wavenumber. Near such a point, solitary waves in the form of small-amplitude wavepackets can be obtained for …

Dynamics Of Internal Solitary Wave And Bottom Boundary Interaction
The breaking of internal solitary waves (ISWs) of depression shoaling upon a uniformly sloping boundary in a smoothed two-layer density field was investigated using high-resolution two-dimensional simulations. The simulations were performed for a wide range of boundary slopes S∈[0.01,0.3] and wave …

ISPH Modelling of Solitary Wave Interaction with Permeable Beaches
… present ISPH model was applied to simulations of solitary wave runup on permeable slopes. In these simulations, triangle and parallelogram porous structures with various mean grain sizes were focused. Two different scale slopes were considered to generate both nonbreaking and breaking waves. For …

Solitary, reproductive, and parental behavior of maned wolves (Chrysocyon brachyurus)
… wolves and provided new information on their solitary, hunting, marking, parental, and social behavior. Finally, I compared the behavior of free-ranging and captive maned wolves and showed that generalizing from captive animals to their free-ranging counterparts may not be appropriate.

Temozolomide and Bevacizumab Therapy In Advanced Hemangiopericytoma/ Solitary Fibrous Tumor
… the spectrum of hemangiopericytoma/ malignant solitary fibrous tumor (HPC/SFT) are thought to arise from fibroblasts and represent a small subset of soft tissue sarcomas. Surgery is typically the treatment of choice for localized disease, with reported 10-year overall survival rates of 54-89% …

Existence and Stability of Solitary Waves for NLS with Defects
… is to investigate the existence and stability of solitary waves to dispersive partial differential equations and, in particular to nonlinear Schr\"odinger equations with defects nonlinearity. First we identify necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of appropriately localized waves …
