Temporal structures in Piers Plowman
… an effort to discern Langland's sense of man's temporality and place, which generates the magnificent view of man—in history—found in the poem. Chapter I treats the lifetime of the fictional pilgrim, Will the dreamer, in his interludes between dreams, attempting to show that the temporal …

Discovering physics and design trends from visual temporal structures
… changing world, we cannot help but notice the temporal regularities of visual changes around us. These changes can be irreversible governed by physical laws, such as glass bottles broken into pieces, or influenced by design trends, such as web pages adopting templates with larger background …

Contributions to Efficient Statistical Modeling of Complex Data with Temporal Structures
This dissertation will focus on three research projects: Neighborhood vector auto regression in multivariate time series, uncertainty quantification for agent-based modeling networked anagrams, and a scalable algorithm for multi-class classification. The first project studies the modeling of …

Supporting individual time management through the capture and display of temporal structures
… and gathers information on the complex temporal structures they experience and manage. Its focus is on understanding the relationship between the quality of individual time management and an individual's understanding and use of temporal structures. This work consists of an exploratory …

Aggregation, Spatio-Temporal Structures and Well-Posedness in Chemotaxis Models of Inflammatory Diseases
L'infiammazione è la risposta immunitaria dell'organismo a uno stimolo nocivo. Il suo scopo è prevenire l'insorgere di malattie. Sebbene sia un meccanismo protettivo, un disordine della risposta infiammatoria può portare a malattie gravi e debilitanti, come la sclerosi multipla. Per questo …

Identifying the Seizure Onset Zone using Intracranial EEG-fMRI
… quantitatively investigated for different brain structures. This thesis aims to identify patient-specific concordance levels between spike-associated BOLD clusters and IED/SOZ originating from temporal and extra-temporal structures. The distances between the BOLD clusters to IED/SOZ locations …

Lidar studies of sporadic sodium layers, gravity waves and density spectra in the mesopause and stratopause regions at Urbana and Arecibo
The high spatial and temporal resolution of the UIUC CEDAR lidar and new processing techniques have significantly improved the study of vertical and temporal structures of the middle atmosphere. This thesis paper first presents what are believed to be the first observations of meteor ablation …

Cognitive and anatomical correlates of neglect for peripersonal and extrapersonal space
… with occipito-parietal lesions and medio-temporal structures, including the posterior cingulate. Neglect for far space was found to result from focal damage of medial, ventro-temporal structures and the prefrontal cortex. In conclusion, neglect for near and far space does not seem to …

Structural and functional brain plasticity for statistical learning
… rely on our ability to extract spatial and temporal regularities, often with minimal explicit feedback, that is known as statistical learning. Despite the importance of statistical learning for making perceptual decisions, we know surprisingly little about the brain circuits and how they …

Processing Novel and Competing Demands: Essays on Managerial Approaches to Change
… on the notions of framing, sensemaking, paradox, temporal structures, and temporal work. While these chapters exist as stand-alone studies, they have mutually influenced each other. The first paper in this collection – ‘Exploring Multiplexed Framing in Incumbent Responses to Digital Disruption’ – …

STATISTICAL MODELLING AND ANALYSIS FOR REGIONAL CLIMATE CHANGE
… inter-site, inter-variable correlations, and temporal structures in the simulations. The proposed MMWG was then adapted and extended to a multivariate multisite statistical downscaling (MMSD) approach for regional climate change study. Along with these statistical modeling approaches, …

Pattern formation through synchronization in systems of nonidentical autonomous oscillators
This work is concerned with the spatio-temporal structures that emerge when non-identical, diffusively coupled oscillators synchronize. It contains analytical results and their confirmation through extensive computer simulations. We use the Kuramoto model which reduces general oscillatory systems …

"Pasts With Futures: Temporality, Subjectivity And Postcommunism In Contemporary German Literature By Herta MüLler, Zsuzsa BàNk And TeréZia Mora"
… by the past. Shifting attention to complex temporal structures used to narrate literary subjectivities, I show how these works construct European futures that are neither subsumed into a homogeneous present, nor trapped in traumatic repetition, nostalgic longing, or psychic disavowal. My …

Nonlinear Representation of Auditory Stimuli Across the Auditory Cortex
… tones, natural sounds possess complex spectro-temporal structures across frequencies. How simple tuning properties scale across ensembles of neurons to represent more complex sensory environments is still a question of active investigation and debate. To better understand the coding principles …

Seven towers: an orchestral cycle focused on different musical temporalities
… musical performance lasting 78 minutes. The temporal dimension of music is a determining factor in both the composition of music and its perception by the listener. This issue is particularly acute in the case of such a substantial, uninterrupted musical statement; therefore I have had to …

Understanding the BlackBerry : negotiating connectivity in different organizational worlds
… for the evolution of work practices, temporal structures, and ramifications of constant connectivity in the modern workplace.

Assessing Broadband and Spectral Irradiance Variability for Solar Nowcasting Using Statistical Analysis and Machine Learning
… the first- and second-order spectral and temporal dependencies of irradiance time series within the context of stationarity. The temporal structures indicate that solar irradiance processes are at best weakly stationary, and the implications for forecasting are discussed. The results of …

Compressed Sensing Beyond the IID and Static Domains: Theory, Algorithms and Applications
… sparsity to recover low dimensional signal structures in high ambient dimensions using few measurements, where i.i.d measurements are at disposal. However real world scenarios typically exhibit non i.i.d and dynamic structures and are confined by physical constraints, preventing …

Audio-visual football video analysis, from structure detection to attention analysis
… A sports video is characterised by repetitive temporal structures, relatively plain contents, and strong spatio-temporal variations, such as quick camera switches and swift local motions. It is necessary to develop specific techniques for content-based sports video analysis to utilise these …

Some Aspects of Fluctuation Driven Phenomena
… regime. We also study the formation of spatio-temporal structures in the framework of stability analysis and provide a clearcut explanation for the absence of spatial patterns in the RPS model, whereas the spontaneous emergence of spatio-temporal structures features prominently in the ML model. …
