Professional horizons
In October 2017 a City of London livery company was asked by a unit of the British Military to put together an event on the theme of ‘through-life career planning and management’ for service personnel from the rank of Corporal and above. A pilot event was run in February 2018; from the feedback it …

Horizons, Holography And Hydrodynamics
In this dissertation we study black-hole horizons in general relativity and in Gauss-Bonnet gravity. We generalize Wald's "black-hole entropy is the Noether charge" construction to the first-order formalism of these theories. Next we construct the "membrane paradigm" for black objects in …

Hoarding Disorder: new horizons
The theme of this contextual statement is Hoarding Disorder (HD), which can be defined as a failure to discard possessions, which may be useless or of little value, resulting in excessive clutter that precludes activities for which the living space was originally intended. Individuals with HD have …

Expanding the Horizons of Enzybiotic Identification
<p>Recently, phage lytic enzymes (also known as endolysins or, simply, lysins) have received considerable attention as potential antibacterial agents. During the infective cycle of double-stranded DNA phage, these peptidoglycan hydrolases are responsible for digesting the cell wall of the host …

Horizons of Artificial Intelligence in Quantum Computation
The potential emergence of practical quantum computers has guided research into their potential applications, particularly in the context of artificial intelligence. Motivated by the success of deep neural networks in classical machine learning, a prevailing hope is that such success will translate …

Learning in Short-Time Horizons with Measurable Costs
… necessitates that learning be done in short-time horizons. These short-time horizons force the learning algorithms to make pricing decisions based on scarce data. In this work, various machine learning algorithms are compared in the context of dynamic pricing. These algorithms include the Kalman …

Endless Horizons Bed and Breakfast: A lodging retreat center
Architecture can provide an opportunity for relaxation by reflecting the forms and colors seen in nature; therefore, by using nature as a model architecture can enhance one's relaxation. Forms and colors found in nature possess relaxing qualities which through God naturally occur. The major …

Horizons, hyperbolic systems, and inner boundary conditions in numerical relativity
… Bona-Massó system and the causal structure of horizons, we discuss and compare several methods to implement a (preliminary) apparent horizon boundary condition for evolving black hole spacetimes using the full three-dimensional Cactus code."

Generative multi-robot task and motion planning over long horizons
… and the capability of planning over long horizons. Hybrid activity and trajectory planners that employ mixed integer programming within a discrete time formulation are able to accurately model complex dynamics for robot vehicles, but are often restricted to relatively short horizons. On …

Tracing the horizons of habitability with Venus and warm rocky exoplanets
… Venus holds profound consequences for the horizons of habitability on exoplanets. In this thesis, I examine the horizon of extreme habitability in Venus’s clouds, and the horizon of surface hostility and the death of habitability that Venus epitomises for the wider population of rocky …

In Search of Perspective: How We Understand Space Through Visual Horizons
This thesis is a study of perspective. Visual perspective invokes (thus creating) both understandings & misunderstandings of space through the use of depth. Depth in my opinion is perspective's ultimate aspiration; no great illustration or portrait of perspective can exist without an exuberant …

Markets for Energy Efficiency - Exploring the new horizons of tradable certificate schemes
This doctoral thesis explores the implications of establishing tradable certificate schemes for improving energy efficiency (so-called ‘Tradable White Certificate’ [TWC] schemes). Carrying out different case studies, a set of complementary evaluation methods is applied in conducting ex-ante and …

Prégnance et acuité écologiques dans l´oeuvre de Maurice Genevoix horizons écopoétiques
A la luz del desarrollo de este trabajo, analizamos la obra del escritor francés Maurice Genevoix y no sólo abordamos la Primera Guerra Mundial como punto de partida primordial en todo su corpus sino que del mismo modo establecemos la dicotomía entre lo que representaba el conflicto de la guerra y …

New horizons of aliphatic C—H amination and hydroxylation reactions with manganese catalysis
Functionalized aliphatic C(sp3)–H scaffolds are being increasingly incorporated into small molecule pharmaceutical molecules to gain access to novel chemical space and bioactivities. Given the ubiquitous of C—H bonds and their inertness toward a wide range of reaction conditions, late-stage …
