Essays on unconventional monetary policy
… framework to study the transmission mechanism of unconventional monetary policy on real activity and credit markets under differing degrees of banking sector concentration. In particular, the three chapters in this dissertation focus on expansionary balance sheet policies consisting of long-term …

Unconventional Superconductivity in Uranium Ditelluride
Superconductivity remains one of the most important topics in condensed matter physics, arising from the pairing of two fermions, in either a singlet or triplet spin configurations. Spin-triplet superconductivity has attracted a lot of interest due to its intriguing physics and potential …

Penetration Depth Studies of Unconventional Superconductors
The magnetic penetration depth λ of various unconventional superconductors have been measured down to ~0.1 K using a tunnel-diode based, self-inductive technique at 21 and 28 MHz. The samples measured are the heavy-fermion superconductors CeCoIn5 and PrOs4Sb12, the rare-earth borocarbides RENi2B2C …

Two classes of unconventional photonic crystals
… studied in optical physics. The first class of unconventional photonic crystal consists of atoms bound in an optical lattice. This is a "resonant photonic crystal", in which an underlying optical resonance modifies the usual band physics. I present a three-dimensional quantum mechanical model of …

Computational Zoning Assessment of Unconventional Aircraft
The protection of aircraft from lightning strikes, both triggered and intercepted, is an essential component in the aircraft development process. In the past, lighting strikes to aircraft have caused catastrophic accidents that have prompted studies into the mechanisms behind lightning effects and …

State Estimation with Unconventional and Networked Measurements
… One is about state estimation with two types of unconventional measurements and the other is about two types of network-induced state estimation problems. The two types of unconventional measurements considered are noise-free measurements and set measurements. State estimation with them has …

Extended notation. The depiction of the unconventional
… In order to facilitate the utilisation of these unconventional musical elements, a coherent and consistent notation system is developed in this thesis. It comprises chapters on string instruments, wind instruments, percussion instruments, plucked instruments and keyboard instruments. A systematic …

Magnetic Penetration Depth Analysis of Unconventional Superconductors
We present magnetic penetration depth measurements on various superconducting materials using a self-inductive, tunnel-diode based oscillator technique down to ∼100 mK. The materials measured consisted of the skutterudites LaRu4Sb12 and LaOs4Sb 12, the heavy fermion superconductor CeIrIn5, a …

Hydrodynamics of unconventional SWATH vessels in waves
The motion responses of unconventional Small Water-plane Area Twin Hull (SWATH) vessels are unique in the sense that viscosity has significant non-linear effects on their hydrodynamic parameters. The parametric optimization of the hull shape of these vessels to reduce the total resistance in waves …

Stranged marriages : unconventional matrimony in western American fiction.
Marriage does more than unite individuals. It affirms existing social structures and promises to perpetuate them. Embedded within marital conventions are traces of a society's assumptions regarding race, gender, class, sexuality, religion, and politics. Fictional marriages, therefore, traditionally …

Unconventional Architectures and Methodologies for Antenna Array Synthesis
… Within this context, this thesis investigates unconventional PA architectures to explicitly quantify and control the trade-off between achievable radiation performance and the reduction of hardware complexity imposed by practical feeding constraints. On this basis, a set of optimization-driven …

Inquisitorial Women: Unconventional Readings of the Spanish Reformation
This dissertation argues that early modern Spanish women engaged theological discourse as apt inquisitors. This project is the first collective analysis of the luteranas, women tried by the Spanish Inquisition as "Lutherans." I examine the manuscript confessions of luteranas tried by the …

Numerical calculations for flows past an unconventional airfoil
A computer program has been developed for both two-dimensional compressible and incompressible turbulent flows around airfoils. Numerical solutions have been obtained by solving the steady-state Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations in primitive variable form. The standard k-$\varepsilon$ …

Unconventional Superconductivity in the Layered Iron Germanide YFe2Ge2
… elements and has since been predicted to be an unconventional superconductor. The intermetallic $d$-electron system YFe$_2$Ge$_2$ exhibits an unusually high Sommerfeld coefficient of $\approx \SI{100}{\milli\joule/\mole\kelvin^2}$, signalling strong electronic correlations. Its low-temperature …

Manipulation of spin textures by unconventional spin torques
Dynamically controlling magnetism at the nanoscale is the foundation for realizing high-performance, low-power solid-state spintronic devices. The manipulation of nonuniform magnetization textures such as domain walls and skyrmions provide both a means to control magnetism in devices, and to gain …

The Unconventional Candidate: Agenda-Setting in Small-Town Politics
<p>In the modern political climate, the intersectionality between race, party affiliation, and ideology makes for an interesting case study in the power of media and agenda-setting. This professional project employed a mixed-methods approach, combining content creation with quantitative social …
