Biased learning of phonological alternations
What is the initial state of the grammar when children begin to figure out patterns of phonological alternations? This thesis documents the developmental stages of children acquiring Korean verb and noun paradigms, and provides a unified account using the initial Output-Output correspondence …

Transcription Regulates Biased Mitochondrial DNA Inheritance
… called hypersuppressives, that exhibit biased inheritance when competed with wild-type (rho+) mtDNA. A particular hypersuppressive allele, HS ORI5-1, damages rho+ mtDNA in the same cell and eliminates respiratory capability from progeny. Overexpression of a mitochondrial RNA exonuclease …

Random Number Generation Using a Biased Source
We study random number generation using a biased source motivated by previous works on this topic, mainly, von Neumman (1951), Elias (1972), Knuth and Yao (1976) and Peres (1992). We study the problem in two cases: first, when the source distribution is unknown, and second, when the source …

Visuals, inferences, and consumers' biased information seeking
The purpose of this research is to investigate how varying product visuals affect consumers’ selective exposure, and whether inferences and attitudes toward a newly encountered brand can mediate such visual biasing effects. I examine an underexplored dimension of confirmation bias in which newly …

Disambiguating Biased Ambiguous Words: An Eye Movement Investigation
… interacts in discourse representation when a biased ambiguous word (BAW) precedes a particular disambiguating context supporting either an initial dominant or a subordinate meaning. This experiment assumed that readers selected the dominant meaning before leaving the BAW; and when they …

Small-x QCD Calculations with a Biased Ensemble
… will allow me to calculate QCD observables with "biased ensembles". This technique will enable me to study rare functional configurations of the gluon distributions, that might have been selected for in, for example, the centrality criteria used by the ATLAS and ALICE collaborations. After a …

Robust Biased Brownian Dynamics for Rate Constant Calculation
… sampling algorithm for Brownian dynamics, biased Brownian dynamics with weight control, is developed to overcome the high energy and entropy barriers in biomolecular association reactions. The biased Brownian dynamics steers sampling by a biasing force, and the weight control algorithm …

Assessment of the Thermal Advantages of Biased Supersonic Cooling
… to serve as an initial proof-of-concept for a biased supersonic film cooling method envisioned for nozzle extension thermal management. The proposed method utilizes a dual-stream injection process that leverages the high heat capacity of the fuel-rich gas-generator gases. By comparing the …

Biased language usage and age in reinforcing marginalizing behavior
<p>Biased language usage is prevalent within every society and within every level of all these societies. While there are many studies that look at the psychological, physical, and symbolic manifestations of biased language, it is unclear as to when this type of behavior is recalled as being …

Neural Mechanisms Promoting Biased Social Memories in Intergenerational Childhood Abuse
Childhood abuse is associated with devastating public health outcomes and is often transmitted intergenerationally, leaving many families trapped in cycles of abuse. Because child abuse shapes and is shaped by social interactions, pinpointing effective intervention targets for disrupting these …

Light Emission and Charge Transport in Reverse Biased Polymer Junctions
… investigated for their temperature dependence. A biased dedoping scheme was used to achieve the strongest ever reverse bias EL. Temperature hypersensitivity of the reverse bias EL was discovered and explained with a recombination model taking account of carrier transit time versus recombination …

Semantic Snippets via Query-Biased Ranking of Linked Data Entities
… annotations. Therefore, we propose a query-biased algorithm (LDRANK) for the ranking of these entities. LDRANK adopts a strategy based on the linear consensual combination of several sources of prior knowledge (any form of con- textual knowledge, like the textual descriptions for the nodes …

Mechanisms of Value-Biased Prioritization in Fast Sensorimotor Decision Making
