Autobiographical constructions
This thesis is an organization of my thoughts on autobiography as it concerns my own life and my work as an artist. It incorporates the study I have made of traditional elements of autobiography. It includes a discussion of my understanding of the process of self - definition and discusses how my …

Dimensions in Random Constructions.
… random fractals generated by random recursive constructions, prove zero-one laws concerning their dimensions and find their packing and Minkowski dimensions. Also we investigate the packing measure in corresponding dimension. For a class of random distribution functions we prove that their …

Hypermaps: constructions and operations
It is conjectured that given positive integers <i>l, m, n</i> with <i>l</i><sup>-1</sup> + <i>m<sup>-</sup></i><sup>1</sup> + <i>n</i><sup>-1</sup> < 1<br/>and an integer <i>g</i> ≥ 0, the triangle group Δ = Δ (<i>l, m, n</i>) = ⟨<i>X,Y,Z|X</i><sup><i> l</i></sup> = <i>Y</i> <sup><i>m</i></sup> …

Children's constructions of work
This thesis examines children's constructions of work: their own work at school and at home; possible future occupations; and work in manufacturing industry; and the resources drawn on in these. Such constructions are of interest in the context of concerns about how society reproduces itself and …

SYMMETRIC PRESENTATIONS AND CONSTRUCTIONS
<p>In this thesis we have investigated permutation and monomial progenitors of the form p^*n:N (p=2,3,5,...) and p^*n:_m N (p=3,5,7,...) respectively. We have discovered new symmetric presentations of several finite nonabelian simple groups including linear groups, unitary groups, orthogonal …

Variation in Past Counterfactual Constructions
The two past counterfactual constructions under investigation in this study are the past counterfactual conditional (Type 3) and the past counterfactual <em>wish</em> complement clause (PCWCC). Each of these has both a standard and variant form. The verb in the standard forms is <em>had</em> + past …

Serial verb constructions or verb compounds? : a prototype approach to resultative verb constructions in Mandarin Chinese
Resultative verb constructions RVCs (hereafter) are a special type of serial verb construction in Mandarin Chinese, in which the verbs hold an action-result relation. On the one hand, they behave like compounds, e.g., the verbs can be questioned as a single verb but cannot be separately modified, …

Geometric Constructions from an Algebraic Perspective
<p>Many topics that mathematicians study at times seem so unrelated such as Geometry and Abstract Algebra. These two branches of math would seem unrelated at first glance. I will try to bridge Geometry and Abstract Algebra just a bit with the following topics. We can be sure that after we construct …

CONSTRUCTIONS AND ISOMORPHISM TYPES OF IMAGES
… and L<sub>2</sub>(13). Moreover, we have given constructions, by using the technique of double coset enumeration, for some of the images, including M<sub>11</sub> and M<sub>12</sub>. We have given proofs, either by hand or computer-based, of the isomorphism type of each image. In addition, we …

Cocycle Constructions for Topological Field Theories
In this thesis, we explore a chain-level construction in smooth Deligne cohomology that produces data for extended topological field theories. For closed oriented manifolds $\Sigma$, this construction takes the form of a chain map $\tau_\Sigma$ from the smooth \v{C}ech-Deligne complex on a manifold …

On the grammar of optative constructions
… is to present an analysis for so-called optative constructions, clauses that express a wish, hope or desire without containing a lexical item that means 'wish', 'hope' or 'desire'. A secondary aim is to contrast optative constructions with so-called polar exclamatives, clauses that express …

Delegating computation reliably : paradigms and constructions
In an emerging computing paradigm, computational capabilities, from processing power to storage capacities, are offered to users over communication networks as a service. This new paradigm holds enormous promise for increasing the utility of computationally weak devices. A natural approach is for …
