A Concept-based Analysis of Dark Patterns in User Interface Design
… to move the literature away from fragmented, top-down analysis of systems through subjective dark patterns taxonomies towards a more objective and generalizable framework. Focusing on user interface related dark patterns, we propose a single similarity that they all have: the user interface …

Silent Control: The Ideological Construction in Xi’s Era and the Political Expression from Grassroots
… in contemporary China. It begins with a top-down analysis of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) as a Leninist vanguard that pragmatically reconfigures Marxism to facilitate its institutional imperatives. Under the Xi Jinping administration, the elevation of “ideological work” as a core …

Top-Down Interrogation And Characterization Of Biological Macromolecules
… analytes.</p> <p>This thesis is focused on the top-down analysis of various macrobiomolecules, nucleic acids and proteins, in the context of ion/ion reaction and gas-phase unimolecular dissociation. The first part of the thesis deals with gas phase fragmentation behavior of chemically modified …

Multidimensional liquid chromatographic separations for proteomics
… the key challenges facing contemporary proteomic analysis. A variety of methods is commonly employed to reduce this complexity, both at an intact protein and digested peptide level. For complex lysates containing many thousands of proteins, orthogonal (mutually independent), multidimensional …

Structural Comparison of Denatured and Supercharged Proteins in Gas and Solution Phases
… separation and fragmentation methods allow for top-down analysis to determine protein structures. As a gas phase technique, it is crucial to understand how ions fold or unfold in the gas phase without the support of solvents/water, as well as how they behave during the various energy and …

Plantwide Control System Design for IGCC Power Plants with CO2 Capture
… performed in two stages. In the first stage, a top-down analysis is used to generate a list of controlled, manipulated, and disturbance variables considering a scalar operational objective and other process constraints. In this section, innovative methods devised for primary and secondary …

Strategic evaluation of environmental metrics : making use of life cycle inventories
… to rank alternatives based on a more transparent analysis. XL.CA employs a set of models with the following features: ( 1) A life cycle inventory model exposes the subjective elements of accounting for material recycling. (2) An impact model translates inventories into impacts based on a …

Bridging Methodological Gaps in Network-Based Systems Biology
… gap between set-based functional enrichment and topological analysis of molecular interaction networks. ii. Many techniques have been developed to compute the response network of a cell. A recent trend in this area is to compute response networks of small size, with the rationale that only part …

Scalable functional validation of next generation SoCs
… post-silicon SoC validation. We use top-down analysis, a higher level of abstraction, and application relevance as the key ideas to automate post-silicon observability enhancement for industrial scale SoCs and scale observability to design that is more than 300x the size of designs …
