Beyond particles and localities in quantum matters
… behave differently from those obeying the standard theory of metals. Explaining such anomalous properties may require one to consider a non-traditional model. In this dissertation, we construct several phenomenological models based on the notions of unparticles and nonlocalities to explain …

A Grammar of *Case: The Head of a Semantic Filler, but a Nominative Morpheme
… to argue for the grammar of case and against the standard theory of case (that case phrases are subcategorized for by predicates and topic phrases are adjuncts). In the theory of case, semantics takes care of associations between nouns and arguments, for example, eliminating a valence …

Non-Nominative Subject Constructions in the Government and Binding Framework
… and Binding framework, a version of the Extended Standard Theory. Non-nominative subjects are NPs which are not case marked with nominative case and which do not trigger subject verb agreement. These NPs, however, may share certain syntactic properties with nominative subjects. It is shown that in …

The mechanical properties of leather in relation to softness
… sample width, w, in accordance with the standard theory of beam bending. However the change in F with increasing sample thickness, t, departed (markedly in some cases) from the standard theory. The theory of laminated materials offered a quantitative description of the dependency provided …

Aspects of quantum criticality in itinerant electron ferromagnetic systems
Fermi-liquid theory is one of the standard models of condensed matter physics, supplying a valid explanation of the low temperature properties of many metals. However, non-Fermi-liquid behaviours arise in many itinerant systems that exhibit a zero temperature magnetic phase transition. This thesis …

Testing the null subject parameter in adult second language acquisition: A study of Vietnamese and Spanish speakers learning English
… and Binding framework of Chomsky's Extended Standard Theory (1981,1986). A grammatical judgment task was used to elicit data about late learners' mental representations of two aspects of English grammar. The two features of English are claimed to be related by means of a parameter, a …

Interaction Forces And Reaction Kinetics Of Ligand-Cell Receptor Systems Using Atomic Force Microscopy
… interactions on live cells. However, the standard theory for analyzing rupture force data does not fit the experimental rupture force histograms. Most of the experimental measurements of rupture force data generate a probability distribution function (pdf) with a high force tail. We show …

Is comprehension necessary for error detection? A conflict-based account of monitoring in speech production
… can detect (and correct) their errors. The standard theory of speech-error detection, the perceptual-loop account, posits that the comprehension system monitors production output for errors. Such a comprehension-based monitor, however, cannot explain the double dissociation between …

Fiscal Policy, Default and Emerging Market Business Cycles
… is puzzling since it is in contrast with standard theory prescriptions and likely to contribute to aggregate volatility. To study the possible roots of this I build a model by incorporating a detailed explicit fiscal sector to what is otherwise a standard sovereign default setup. The …

Piezoelectric response of bone and tendon subjected to inhomogeneous stress
… stressed, they obey the classical or standard theory of piezoelectricity. However, this thesis shows that when bone and tendon are subjected to in-homogeneous stress, as in cantilever bending, they do not obey the classical piezoelectric theory, although the piezoelectric minerals …

A tale of two particles
… Motivated by apparent discrepancies between the standard theory and observation, we analyze two astrophysical systems in the context of new particle physics. Taking a phenomenological approach, we calculate observable consequences of novel particle models during two different stages in the …

Stability and gravitational collapse in extended theories of gravity: from singularities to bouncing scenarios
Einstein theory of General Relativity was well adapted and accepted until limitations in the form of an unexplained form of energy, referred today as Dark Energy, were observed. For this reason, modifications to the standard Theory of General Relativity were proposed: the so-called f(R) theories. …

International Trade, the Environment and Natural Resources

Investigation of protein-protein interaction using atomic force microscopy

Construction of lattice rules for multiple integration based on a weighted discrepancy

Frustration from Frustration: Field Tuning, Vison Crystallisation, and Disorder in Quantum Spin Ice
… electromagnetism exhibits many phenomena beyond standard theory, including strong- coupling confinement, Dirac monopoles, axions and theta terms. Excitingly, recent experiments on the Ce based pyrochlore Ce Zr O have produced compelling evidence in support of a QSI ground state – after 20 years …

Topicalisation of the noun phrase in colloquial Cairene Arabic

Investigations of close-in exoplanets : starspot transits, and ultra-short period planets
… degrees of zero, a natural consequence of the standard theory of planet formation, in which a rotating envelope of gas collapses into a disk-shaped protoplanetary disk from which the planets form. But this is not the case for all exoplanets. Close-in gas giants are frequently found in orbits …

Geometric algebras in physics: Eigenspinors and Dirac theory
The foundations of quantum theory are closely tied to a formulation of classical relativistic physics. In Clifford's geometric algebra classical relativistic physics has a spinorial formulation that is closely related to the standard Dirac equation. The algebra of physical space, APS, gives clear …
