<i>Event Horizon</i>
<p><em>Event Horizon</em> depicts a spectacular and somewhat violent cosmic light display. This piece uses compositional techniques championed by composers such as Igor Stravinsky and Paul Hindemith. These techniques include use of linear tonality, limited pitch collections, split thirds and …

Investors' horizon and stock prices
… on the relation between investors' trading horizon and stock prices. The first chapter explores the theoretical relation between the horizon of traders and the negative externality generated by their activity on the information revealed by stock prices. The last two chapters focus on the …

Theater: Architecture of the Horizon
… they approach the architectonic auditorium, the horizon, which they could initially only see through small openings within the massive brick walls, becomes more prominent, reminding them of the spherical nature of our world and the existence of an entire universe outside of our frame of reference …

Receding Horizon Control: A Suboptimality-based Approach
… implementational issues of so called receding horizon controllers in a sampled-data setting. The principle of such a controller is simple: Given the current state of a system we compute an open-loop control which is optimal for a given costfunctional over a fixed prediction horizon. Then, the …

New Horizon in Mobile Communications Networks Planning
The new horizon in mobile communication network planning is a developed study on mobile communication services in developed and developing countries. The aim of the study is to introduce a method to predict the best country for investment in mobile communication services and industry on which the …

Essays in Asset Management: Long Horizon Investing
… endowments - distinctive because of their long horizon. The vast majority of endowments delegate the management of their assets to external managers. My first essay provides evidence that decisions taken by endowments about their external investment manager appointments (and terminations) are …

Tame Long-Horizon Model-Based Reinforcement Learning
… with high-dimensional observations and long horizons, but are known to be hard to generalize across tasks. Model-based RL, on the other hand, learns task-agnostic models of the world that naturally enables transfer across different reward functions, but struggles to scale to complex …

The Effects of Individual Horizon Preferences and Project Horizon On Managers' Resource Allocation Decisions Under a Subordinate-Superior Framework
… managers' and their superiors' individual horizon preferences along with the effects of project horizon on managers' resource allocation decisions. I define horizon preference as an individual's general preference for long-term versus short-term results. Project horizon is the period it …

Stability Analysis of Unconstrained Receding Horizon Control Schemes
In this thesis we are concerned with receding horizon control (RHC), also known as model predictive control. In particular, schemes which neither incorporate terminal constraints nor costs are considered. Our goal is to ensure a relaxed Lyapunov inequality which allows to conclude asymptotic …

Optimal Stopping Problems with A Random Time Horizon
The theory of optimal stopping provides a powerful set of tools for the study of American contingent claim pricing problem in mathematical finance. We give a self-contained overview of the theory, including the complete proofs of existence and uniqueness theorems for the optimal stopping time in …

Localised Near Horizon Predictive Models of Cellular Load
… are 1. A novel methodology to predict near horizon traffic loads in practical spatially contiguous coverage regions. 2. A novel application of near horizon localised prediction models to the problem of self-organising green networks. 3. Empirically created foundational models of how the …

Variable horizon model predictive control: robustness and optimality
Variable Horizon Model Predictive Control (VH-MPC) is a form of predictive control that includes the horizon length as a decision variable in the constrained optimisation problem solved at each iteration. It has been recently applied to completion problems, where the system state is to be steered …

Learning to Solve Long-Horizon Robot Manipulation Problems
… continuous action spaces, and long decision horizons, the hybrid constraint satisfaction problems induced by planners become combinatorially difficult to solve. In this thesis, I will discuss strategies for using offline learning to speed up deploymenttime planning, i.e., using a plan …

Mechanics of interseam failure in multiple horizon mining
The mechanics of massive interseam failure in a multiple seam mine was investigated using three approaches: case studies, physical models and computer analysis. Specific examples of multi-seam mines with the underlying seam mined first prior to the mining of the overlying seam were studied with …

Voices on the Horizon: A Theory of Ludic Rhetoric
<p><em>Voices on the horizon: A theory of ludic rhetoric </em>begins with the assumption that rhetoric and play offer hope for cooperation and community in a fragmented and divided world. Rhetoric and play share an intellectual trajectory in the history of ideas. The earliest use of the terms …
