Finiteness conditions in group cohomology
In this thesis we investigate groups whose nth cohomology functors commute with filtered colimits for all sufficiently large n. In Chapter 1 we introduce some basic definitions and important background material. We make the definition that a group G has cohomology almost everywhere finitary if and …

Reflexes of Finiteness in Romance
This dissertation investigates the concept of finiteness across Romance, a theoretical notion very frequently used within linguistics although still poorly understood (Ledgeway 2007:335). Various Romance verb forms and clauses which are not readily classifiable as either finite or non-finite are …

Phonological working memory and finiteness marking in typical development
… indexed on nonword repetition (NWR) tasks, and finiteness-related grammatical processing, as indexed by grammaticality judgment. These fundamental language abilities make particularly alluring candidates for investigation due to their central role in language development and academic achievement …

Effects of Verb Familiarity on Finiteness Marking in Children with SLI
… competence. Two such language dimensions, finiteness marking and the verb lexicon, are considered areas of weakness in specific language impairment (SLI). Given these weaknesses, the question arises of whether these two dimensions are related in children with SLI and/or typically developing …

The acquisition of finiteness in English by child second language learners in instructed contexts: age of onset and L1 effects
This thesis examines the acquisition of finiteness in English by child L2 learners by investigating the impact of the age of onset and the role of the learners’ L1 on their L2 acquisition. Following Meisel’s hypothesis that children older than 4 will resemble adult L2 acquisition in the domain of …

Pareto Optimization in Robotics With Acceleration Constraints
… when velocity and acceleration are bounded, the finiteness result still holds for systems involving only two robots. In tins setting, we separate acceleration bounds into two opposite assumptions: initial bounded accelerations and terminal bounded accelerations. Initial bounded accelerations are …

Free products of abelian groups in mapping class groups
The notions of convex cocompactness and geometric finiteness originally come from the study of Kleinian groups. The analogous notion of convex cocompactness for mapping class groups is due to Farb-Mosher. In recent work, Dowdall-Durham-Leininger-Sisto have proposed a definition of “parabolic” …

Studying the Space of Almost Complex Structures on a Manifold Using de Rham Homotopy Theory
… In this thesis, we use those ideas to obtain a finiteness result for such an invariant (the de Rham homotopy type) for each connected component of the space of cross-sections of certain fibrations. We then apply this result to differential geometry and prove a finiteness theorem of the de Rham …

Model theory and probability
… categoricity, saturated models, stability, and d-finiteness for the theories of atomless probability algebras and atomless random variable structures. Explicit formulas for the d*-metric between types in the theory of atomless random variable structures are given. For the theory of atomless …

Uniformity of pronoun case errors in typical development: the association between children's first person and third person case errors in a longitudinal study
… of the phenomenon posits a link between case and finiteness (i.e., tense and agreement; Schütze, 1997; Schütze & Wexler, 1996). Cognitive linguistic accounts do not posit uniformity and have claimed there is a causal link between the errors and a pattern found in input, in which subject pronouns …

Finite Algorithms for Global Optimization of Concave Programs and General Quadratic Programs
This document examines finiteness issues in the context of structured global optimization problems. Specific aspects of this research include: (1) Development of finite algorithms, (2) Analysis of the algorithms' computational complexity, (3) Demonstrating the efficiency of the algorithms in …

Investigating the role of an indigenised variety of English in the acquisitional and sociolinguistic contexts of the Malaysian ecology

The morphosemantics and morphosyntax of the Malayalam verb

Planar algebras: A category theoretic point of view

Frobenius transfers and p-local finite groups
… in the affirmative, by showing that under some finiteness conditions such a triple (f, t, X) does indeed induce a p-local finite group over S. We also discuss the converse in some detail for general S.
