Contributions to Exceptional Fossil Preservation
Exceptionally preserved fossils—or fossils preserved with remains of originally non-biomineralized (i.e. soft) tissues—constitute a key resource for investigating the history of the biosphere. In comparison to fossils of biomineralized skeletal elements, which represent the majority of the fossil …

How Does Expertise Support Exceptional Learning?
The present study examined expert dancers’ ability to recreate choreography across varying lengths and genres to test how expertise interacts with structure, familiarity, and strategy use. Expert and novice dancers learned six choreographies that varied in length (50 vs. 100 steps) and in …

Phantoms and Exceptional Collections on Rational Surfaces
This thesis is concerned with exceptional collections on smooth projective surfaces. Any rational surface over an algebraically closed field admits a full exceptional collection. We extend certain classification results regarding exceptional collections, previously known for del Pezzo surfaces, to …

Twisted and exceptional Tinkertoys for Gaiotto duality
A large class of 4d N = 2 superconformal field theories arise as compactifications of a 6d (2, 0) theory of type j = A, D, E on a punctured Riemann surface, C. These theories can be classified by listing the allowed fixtures and cylinders which can occur in a pants decomposition of C, and giving …

Octonions and the Exceptional Lie Algebra g_2
We first introduce the octonions as an eight dimensional vector space over a field of characteristic zero with a multiplication defined using a table. We also show that the multiplication rules for octonions can be derived from a special graph with seven vertices call the Fano Plane. Next we …

Exceptional surfaces as topological obstructions in dynamical systems
… and analyse its topological properties as an exceptional surface (ES). Upon identifying the limitations of this formalism in higher dimensional systems, we develop a formulation of an "edge insertion" describing a singular adjustment made to any path that crosses a degeneracy in the …

Exploring the Exceptional Extreme Rays of the Copositive Cone
<p>In this paper we will look at the exceptional extreme rays of COP^5 and COP^6 and identify if they are exposed or nonexposed. We start with some necessary background material on copositive matrices and cones. Then we construct two algorithms to see if a matrix is exposed or nonexposed.</p>
