A Phenomenological Approach to Comparison: The Non-Metaphorical Poetics of Paul Celan and Wang Wei
AbstractThis dissertation explores the grounds of comparison, and what makes comparison meaningful, through an encounter between Paul Celan (1920-1970), the pre-eminent post-war poet of the German language, and Wáng Wéi (701-761), one of the master poets of the Táng Dynasty when classical Chinese …

Dynamically Instance-Guided Adaptation: A Backward-free Approach for Test-Time Domain Adaptive Semantic Segmentation
Semantic segmentation models often fail when deployed in new target domains due to domain shifts. Test-Time Domain Adaptation for Semantic Segmentation (TTDA-Seg) aims to adapt models efficiently during inference without target labels, but existing methods struggle with efficiency (requiring …

Essays on Macroeconomics with Financial Frictions
This dissertation develops three independent yet related frameworks to identify economic mechanisms through which financial frictions affect the aggregate economy over the business cycle and along the path of economic development. There are three chapters in this dissertation. In each chapter, a …

Strengthening of cold-formed steel channels using different reinforcing options and innovative connections
… material in modern construction due to its lightweight, cost-effectiveness, and versatility. This study primarily investigated the web crippling capacity of channels with elongated edge-stiffened web holes. Compared to traditional circular edge-stiffened web holes, these elongated holes …

Linear mixed effects models in functional data analysis
Regression models with a scalar response and a functional predictor have been extensively studied. One approach is to approximate the functional predictor using basis function or eigenfunction expansions. In the expansion, the coefficient vector can either be fixed or random. The random coefficient …

Bioinformatics Investigation on the Role of Obox Gene Family in Preimplantation Embryo Development
<p>Preimplantation embryo development (PED) refers to the period from fertilization to implantation in mammals. This complex process is critical for successful implantation and pregnancy. Although studies on PED have been conducted, using mainly the mouse as a model organism, the gene regulatory …

Investigation into performance of IPV4 and IPV6 transition mechanisms and distributed NAT-PT implementation
A variety of IPv4 to IPv6 transition techniques have been identified and implemented. In this thesis, we conduct TCP performance testing of three kinds of typical transition mechanisms. According to Our experiment results, each technique does induce performance decline, but their effect degrees are …

Computational methods for the analysis of next generation sequencing data
Recently, next generation sequencing (NGS) technology has emerged as a powerful approach and dramatically transformed biomedical research in an unprecedented scale. NGS is expected to replace the traditional hybridization-based microarray technology because of its affordable cost and high digital …

Durability behavior of fiber reinforced polymer and steel reinforced polymer for infrastructure applications
<p>"Crack development in reinforced concrete (RC) structures is common in elements such as bridge decks. However, these cracks can impose significant problems over time, because they allow chlorides from deicing chemicals to infiltrate concrete which will then corrode steel bars as RC structures …

Plasmonic metamaterial for structural color printing and spontaneous emission control
<p>”Plasmon polaritons or plasmons are a collective oscillation movement of free electrons in metal at optical frequencies. The frequency-dependent complex dielectric function makes the metal property at optical frequencies behave totally different with that at other spectral ranges with lower …

The consequences of bank reporting failure for liquidity creation : evidence from accounting restatements
This paper examines the effect of bank accounting restatements on bank liquidity creation. Banks play a central role in creating liquidity in the economy by financing relatively illiquid assets, such as business loans, with relatively liquid liabilities, such as demand deposits. Theory predicts …

Signaling of integrin lower leg and transmembrane domains
Integrin conformational changes mediate integrin activation and signaling triggered by intracellular molecules or extracellular ligands. Even though it has been shown that TM and/or cytoplasmic α and β domains associate in the resting state and separation of these domains is required for integrin …

Emergence of Delamination Fractures around Casing and Its Stability
The cement sheath failures and nearby wellbore failures may lead to upward flow of drilling fluid or formation fluid, which may have significantly adverse consequences like loss of reserve and environmental hazards. In order to maintain wellbore integrity in the long term, it is expedient to …

Analysis of the Role of the Transcription Factor-C/ebpbeta in Implantation
During early pregnancy, the concerted actions of the maternal steroid hormones, estrogen and progesterone, promote a unique process known as decidualization, which involves extensive proliferation and differentiation of uterine stromal cells. The molecular pathways underlying this hormonally …

Aerosol Optical Properties and the Influence of Particulate Organic Matter
Based on the results from this research on ambient and laboratory aerosols, it can be concluded that (1) presence of organic compounds (i.e., glutaric and succinic acids) decrease the hygroscopic growth of aerosol particles when compared with aerosol particles composed of pure inorganic compounds …

Fast Polarizable Force Field Computation in Biomolecular Simulations
Polarizable force fields are considered to be the single most significant development in the next-generation force fields used in biomolecular simulations. The self-consistent computation of induced atomic dipoles in a polarizable force field is expensive due to the cost of solving a large dense …

Very High Frequency EPR: Instrument and Applications
Most Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR, also known as ESR or EMR) experiments are performed at conventional 9 GHz or 35 GHz frequency. But there are numerous situations in which a large increase in the microwave frequency (and/or magnetic field) will result in substantial increase in the …
