Polyelectrolyte Coatings with Internal Hierarchy
… copolymers. The internal structural hierarchy originate thereby from the self-assembly processes at different length scales. To generate different levels of hierarchy, the coatings were constructed by using either the layer-by-layer (LbL) deposition method (lateral chemical …

The Dynamics of Social Hierarchy
… and dominance. This dual model of social hierarchy advocates that individuals either attain positions of high rank though signals of an ability and willingness to either inflict harm (dominance) or confer benefits (prestige) to group members. While there is growing support for the dual …

Hierarchy of Interactions in Protein Evolution
Deciphering the relationship between genotype and phenotype is complicated by the sheer number of possible cooperative interactions amongst the parts that make up biological systems. For even small systems such as individual protein domains, it has been difficult to comprehensively obtain high …

A learning hierarchy for classification and regression
… in the dimension, thus forming a "learning hierarchy". Furthermore, we discuss the problem in both an "adaptive" as well as a "one-shot" setting, where in the adaptive case query choice can depend on the entire past history. Somewhat surprisingly, we show that the "adaptive" setting does not …

Hierarchy and invariance in auditory cortical computation
… occur across stages of the putative cortical hierarchy, probing for one candidate: invariance to realworld background noise. To measure invariance, we correlate voxel responses to natural sounds with and without real-world background noise. Non-primary responses are substantially more …

Placing Federal District Courts in the Judicial Hierarchy
… placing placing district courts in the judicial hierarchy. Question 1 tests the influence of case developments and actor characteristics on the disposition method: settlement, non-trial adjudication, and trial) and winning party in district court civil cases. With Question 2, I examine what …

DeNovo: rethinking the memory hierarchy for disciplined parallelism
As multicore systems become widespread, both software and hardware face a major challenge in efficiently exploiting and implementing parallelism. While shared–memory remains a popular programming model due to its global address space, it is plagued with undisciplined programming practices that …

Bayesian Optimization Algorithm: From Single Level to Hierarchy
The dissertation proposes the Bayesian optimization algorithm (BOA), which uses Bayesian networks to model the promising solutions found so far and sample new candidate solutions. BOA is theoretically and empirically shown to be capable of both learning a proper decomposition of the problem and …

Exploiting software information for an efficient memory hierarchy
… the rising power concerns. Since the memory hierarchy is becoming one of the major consumers of the on-chip power budget in these systems, designing an efficient memory hierarchy is critical to future systems. We identify three sources of inefficiencies in memory hierarchies of today’s …

A hierarchy of microgrid models with some applications
This dissertation proposes a hierarchy of microgrid models that can be utilized for power system analysis and control design purposes. The microgrid models are classified according to time resolution and, consequently, according to complexity and computational cost as well. Our approach involves …

Locality-aware cache hierarchy management for multicore processors
… the data movement incurred by conventional cache hierarchy organizations when dealing with massive data scales. These two factors impact memory access latency and energy consumption adversely. This thesis proposes scalable efficient mechanisms that improve effective cache capacity (i.e., by …

Random partitions and the quantum Benjamin-Ono hierarchy
… conserved density of the classical inviscid Hopf hierarchy on the circle, following Dubrovin (2014). At the quantum Hopf hierarchy ([beta] = 2), we recover Okounkov's limit shape for Schur measures (2003) as a verification of the correspondence principle. Our main result is the computation of …

A hierarchy of ramified theories below primitive recursive arithmetic
… brings out a connection to the Slow-Growing Hierarchy yielding є0 as the appropriate proof-theoretic ordinal in a pointwise sense. Chapters 1 and 2 are devoted to an exposition of these results. In Chapter 3 a new principle of �1-closure is introduced in constructing a conservative extension …

Cambodia 1991-94: hierarchy, neutrality and etiquettes of discourse
… it examines Cambodian conventions of social hierarchy, Khmer linguistic etiquette, and the discourse of the Cambodian news media as they have changed in relation to social and political change in recent years. Specific chapters focus on hierarchically marked pronouns and terms of address, …

The Firm Size Effect: An Application of Hierarchy Theories
… wages is investigated through the application of hierarchy theories. Many different explanations have been proposed for this relationship, but have met only limited success at best. The strongest finding to date is that unobserved ability is a significant factor. The question of interest here is …

Vector processor virtualization: distributed memory hierarchy and simultaneous multithreading
Taking advantage of DLP (Data-Level Parallelism) is indispensable in most data streaming and multimedia applications. Several architectures have been proposed to improve both the performance and energy consumption for such applications. Superscalar and VLIW (Very Long Instruction Word) processors, …
