Top Flight
Top Flight uses personal memoir and the ordinary experiences of everyday life as a vehicle to discuss privacy, self-awareness, learning and personal growth. The exhibit, comprised of twenty-eight large-scale drawings, took the form of an installation, encompassing one wall twenty-eight feet wide …

Table-top XUV nanoscope
This thesis documents the development of a table-top extreme-ultraviolet (XUV) nanoscope suitable for coherent diffractive imaging (CDI). Intense spatially coherent ultrashort XUV and X-ray pulses are desired for nanoscale biological and material imaging. Such radiation can be produced via high …

Top-k Semantic Caching
… of this thesis is the intelligent caching of top-k queries in an environment with high latency and low throughput. In such an environment, caching can be used to reduce network traffic and improve response time. Slow database connections of mobile devices and to databases, which have been …

Strange Attitudes on Top
This dissertation investigates how attitude verbs of belief and desire engage with embedded material of a similar nature. Chapter 1 looks at the (cross-linguistically unusual) Slovenian existential doxastic attitude verb dopuščati (‘allow for the possibility’) and the embedding of epistemic modal …

Targeting Natural Supersymmetry With Top Quarks
… supersymmetry via the production of light top squarks (stops) with the ATLAS experiment, using 13 TeV proton-proton collision data delivered by the Large Hadron Collider. A range of models is considered where the stop may decay to top quarks, b jets, and a variety of other supersymmetric …

Top Institutional Investors and Accounting Comparability
… I hypothesize that two firms that have the same top institutional investor (i.e., institutional investor with the largest shareholding) have higher accounting comparability than other firm pairs. I find evidence consistent with this hypothesis. In addition, firm-pairs whose top institutional …

Top-down modulation of visual attention
This body of work examines the effects of pre-cues on visual search for targets defined by a colour-orientation conjunction. Cueing the identity of targets enhanced the efficiency of search, with stronger effects from cueing the colour of the target compared to cueing its orientation, even though …

Database support for top-down proteomics
Top-down proteomics is a revolutionary application for the identification and characterization of protein, known to be one of the most complicated and challenging issues in biology. In top-down proteomics, the quality and speed of the data warehouse is very important, as high accuracy results are …

Towards a table top quantum computer
… The goal of this project is to construct a table-top quantum computer that can match and eventually exceed the performance of commercial machines. This computer should be an inexpensive, easy-to-use machine that can be considered more a computer than its "supercomputer" counterparts. For this …

Top-Down Synthesis for Library Learning
This thesis introduces corpus-guided top-down synthesis as a mechanism for synthesizing library functions that capture common functionality from a corpus of programs in a domain specific language (DSL). The algorithm builds abstractions directly from initial DSL primitives, using syntactic pattern …

Mental toughness in Icelandic female football players : comparisons of the national team, top and second top women's divisions
Football is a competitive team sport requiring top performance and technical, tactical, physical, and psychological skills. Mental toughness is an umbrella term used to define the mental traits of athletes who perform well in practice and competition while others struggle. Mixed method research was …

EFFICIENT LEARNING-BASED RECOMMENDATION ALGORITHMS FOR TOP-N TASKS AND TOP-N WORKERS IN LARGE-SCALE CROWDSOURCING SYSTEMS
… and kNN, and result in two lines of top-N recommendation algorithms for crowdsourcing systems: (1) Top-N-Tasks (TNT) recommendation algorithms for discovering the top-N most suitable tasks for a given worker, and (2) Top-N-Workers (TNW) recommendation algorithms for identifying the …

Search for supersymmetric partners of the top quark with the CMS detector and novel top quark tagging algorithms.
… looked for evidence that the superpartner of the top quark was produced then decayed into an undetected particle and a top quark that decayed to hadronic jets. No statistically significant deviation from standard model expectations is observed. Limits are placed on the production cross section in …
