Not Just a Symbol But a Status Symbol
<p>I create art, not out of a deep understanding of the world around me, but out of a lack of one. Human psychology, motives, behaviors, stressors, intentions and identity are the themes that boggle me the most. Therefore, it is only natural that my work would be fueled by the questions these …

The Symbol of a Markov Semimartingale
… (1980). Next we generalize the notion of the symbol and define it for this larger class of processes. As examples the solutions of stochastic differential equations are considered. The symbol is then used to derive a quick approach to the semimartingale characteristics as well as the generator …

Shelly's Star: Genesis of a Symbol
… of its multiple associations, Shelley's star symbolizes the Platonic One and Sehnsucht: the yearning for an ideal state of being; it represents the dream of perfection and is closely related to immortality, spiritual existence, eternal truth, moral virtues, the creative imagination, and the …

Church housing : a symbol of hospitality
This project is located in Bloomfield, NJ. Less than fifteen miles from New York City, the Township of Bloomfield was first settled by the Dutch in 1691 and later by the English in 1719. In 1812, the State of New Jersey finally incorporated Bloomfield as a township. Until then, it had been a parish …

Communication over channels with symbol synchronization errors
… aspects of communication over channels with symbol synchronization errors. Symbol synchronization errors are harder to model than erasures or substitution errors caused by additive noise because they introduce uncertainties in timing. Consequently, the capacity of channels subjected to …

Electroacoustic music composition: myth, symbol and image
… I address the use of modern urban culture symbols in order to create a contemporary mythological canon. Section 4 - A conclusion to this thesis.

Robust dynamic symbol recognition : the ClockSketch classifier
I present an automatic classifier for the digitized clock drawing test, a neurological diagnostic exam used to assess patients' mental acuity by having them draw an analog clock face using a digitizing pen. This classifier assists human examiners in clock drawing interpretation by labeling several …

Medieval Japanese Zen: Catalyst for Symbol System Formation
… we know it does not exist independently from the symbolic interpretations we formulate about it. This symbolic and ever unfolding interpretation of reality applies to our understanding of science as well as philosophy, to religion as well as art. In striving to describe religious experiences, …

Low-complexity structures for digital symbol timing recovery
Symbol timing recovery (STR) is required in every digital synchronous communications receiver, since the output of the demodulator must be sampled periodically at symbol rate, at the precise sampling time instants in order to correctly recover the transmitted data. The major objective of this …

Architectures for Symbol Timing Synchronization in MIMO Communications
Maximum likelihood symbol timing estimation for communication over a frequency non-selective MIMO fading channel is developed. The cases of known data (data-aided estimation) and unknown data (non-data-aided estimation) together with known channel and unknown channel are considered. The analysis …

Culture symbol and time : the revitalization of Samarkand
… achieving a physical manifestation of culture, symbolism and time in architectural form. The thesis concludes with a discussion of possible applications of this inquiry to add to the body of thought on the subject of culturally specific design.

MIMO-OFDM Symbol Detection via Echo State Networks
… weights. This thesis considers applying ESN for symbol detection in multiple-input, multiple-output orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) systems. A new ESN structure, namely, windowed echo state networks (WESN) is introduced to further improve the symbol detection performance. …

Revealing and Exposing the City Behind the Symbol
Washington, D.C. is a city that is designed to serve an entire nation; yet, as a result of this, its own history and people can seem to be lost in the shadow of the federal city. With an abundance of museums throughout the city, the museum that is needed, but no longer exists, is one for the …

The Field of Norms Functor and the Hilbert Symbol
The classical Hilbert symbol of a higher local field $F$ containing a primitive $p^M$-th root of unity $\zeta_M$ is a pairing $F^*/(F^*)^{p^M}\times K_N(F)/p^M \to \mu_{p^M}$, describing Kummer extensions of exponent $p^M$. In this thesis we define a generalised Hilbert symbol and prove a formula …

A Christian Ontology of the Flesh: Word, Symbol, Performance
… embodied expression of the divine through word, symbol and performance. A new grammar of perception arises, in this instance, which places the body central to the Christian story and which refuses any binary, dualism or negation.
