An emerging architecture of local experimentalist governance in China : a study of local innovations in Baoding, 1992-2012
… The strength of this "closed" architecture of experimentalist governance lies on the underlying principal-agent distributive bargaining principles between the center and the local, i.e., career prospects, preferential policies, and so on. All of the major mechanisms, processes, and procedures …

Alchemists, Epics, and Heroes: The Rhetorical Construction of the Seventeenth Century Experimental Philosopher
… explain and legitimize the character of the new experimentalist. The first strategy attempted to use comparisons and contrasts between the experimentalist and the alchemist. This strategy was ultimately unsuccessful in that it could yield for the experimental philosophers a cultural reputation …

Buffalo Death Mask
… of what artists might be doing when making experimentalist movies. Why all this need to trouble the form?

Kaleidoscopic Law: A Legal Ecology of the Climate Crisis
… “leading cities” and TCKNs co-assemble an experimentalist legal order nominally constructed to discipline emissions, recursively intersecting with supranational, international and national legal orders. The wicked problem of climate crisis means cities must adapt to several exigencies …

Optimization of sub-10 femtosecond titanium sapphire lasers
… systems. As such when building such systems the experimentalist desires an easy to use and robust system to produce femtosecond pulses for use in experiments. Towards this end I will discuss the issues involved in perfecting Kerr-lens mode locked Ti:sapphire laser technology and present …

Parametric spatial modal analysis of beams
… in laser velocimetery have made available to the experimentalist a rich, new source of vibration data. Data can now be obtained from many different spatial locations on a structure. A method is presented to use this new data for the analysis of beams. Two approaches are investigated: minimum …

Supersymmetric jets from Z boson decay and radiative decays of heavy quarkonium
… of hadrons. We also discuss methods which an experimentalist could use to determine the squark and photino masses if confronted with a data sample with characteristics matching the supersymmetric events which we generate. In the second part of the thesis, we examine two-body radiative decays …

Identification and control of lightly damped, large space structures: an experimental evaluation
… on the three principal problems facing experimentalists during their attempts to identify and control lightly damped, large space structures (LSS). The problems are low damping, high modal density, and low natural frequencies of oscillation. They present a blend of difficulties which …

An Investigation of the Multiple Scattering of Waves in Two-Dimensional Random Media
… of accuracy, and both may appear valid to the experimentalist in the lab or field. Finally, the use of multiple scattering theory to predict the modal density of a random medium was demonstrated for a thin plate with circular holes.

Characterization of laser noise in free-free beam structures using a Scanning Laser Doppler Vibrometer
… some guidelines which will help the experimentalist use the SLDV system more optimally are presented. Also, some recommendations on future improvements of the SLDV are made, along with proposals for future research.

China’s Escape from the “Big Bang”: The 1980s Price Reform Debate in Historical Perspective
… at its core. In contrast, a policy of experimentalist gradualism manifested in the dual track price system (DTPS) laid the foundations for China’s economic success. But the Chinese reform approach was highly contested in the 1980s and China came close to implementing a big bang. My …

Unraveling the intricacies of spatial organization of the ErbB receptors and downstream signaling pathways
… models that provide future direction for experimentalist. In this work, I have contributed to the development of novel computational approaches which explore mechanisms of receptor aggregation and predict the effects of downstream signaling. The coupled spatial non-spatial simulation …

Engaging the Heart: Orthodoxy and Experimentalism in William Gadsby’s A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship
… for his anachronistic high orthodoxy and for his experimentalist modernity. To the men who argued with Gadsby, the relationship between his traditional orthodoxy and his experimentalism must have seemed bewildering, but seen from a more distanced perspective, his theological stance may be …

Spatial verification and validation of datasets in fluid dynamics
… advances have provided both the analyst and the experimentalist with powerful tools for resolving complete flow-field information, using Computational Fluid Dynamics to simulate the flow, or noninvasive flow metrology such as Particle Image Velocimetry and Laser Doppler Anemometry. A great deal …

Image-Based Geotechnical Constitutive Model Parameter Calibration
… whilst in the meantime the geotechnical experimentalist should be wary of expecting more than qualitative results from image-based measurements.

Analysis of heteroazenotropic systems
… fitting property model parameters, allowing the experimentalist to rapidly explore the capabilities and limitations of the phase equilibrium model. The techniques mentioned above are useful when analyzing heteroazetropic systems for design purposes. The second product of this thesis improves the …

First-principles study of radiation-induced radicals in solid-state amino acids and sugars: confrontation of density-functional calculations with experimental results
… of the associated radiation chemistry, the experimentalist is faced with a delicate task to propose appropriate models for the paramagnetic species present in the crystals. Over the last few years, it has become increasingly popular to rely on ab-initio molecular modeling techniques for this …

DEVELOPMENT OF ALGORITHMS FOR CLASSICAL AND SEMICLASSICAL DYNAMICS
… investigate the correlation among atoms with an experimentalist mindset: We want to artificially “decouple” pairs of atoms and see how the sys tem as a whole rearranges. In practice, we run simulations of artificially modified potentials (called the pair-decoupled potential), in which selected …

Angle-Resolved Photoelectron Spectroscopy Studies of the Many-Body Effects in the Electronic Structure of High-Tc Cuprates
… descriptions. From the point of view of an experimentalist, this means that any qualitative under-standing of an experimental observation would no longer suffice. Instead, the empha-sis in the experimental research should be shifted to accurate quantification of obser-vations, which becomes …
