Korean industrialization: Competing hypotheses
… dissertation is to describe and test competing hypotheses regarding Korean industrialization. Has Korea followed the neoclassical path of static comparative advantage or did Korea anticipate comparative advantage? We will attempt to answer this question through three essays.

NP-completeness notions under strong hypotheses
… the complexity class NP are studied under strong hypotheses about the size of this class. These hypotheses are based on the concept of resource-bounded genericity developed by Ambos-Spies, Fleischhack and Huwig. It is shown that many natural completeness notions for NP can be separated under such …

Hypotheses for Scratch Behavior of Polymer Systems that Recover
… in determining the wear of a material. Several hypotheses were developed in an attempt to give an accurate picture of how the chemical structure of a polymer affects its scratch recovery. The results show that high scratch recovery is a complex phenomenon not solely dependent upon the presence …

Topics on multiple hypotheses testing and generalized linear model
… of such data, researchers often face multiple hypotheses testing based on discrete test statistics. Incorporating this discrete property of the data, several stepwise procedures, which allow to use the CDF of p-values to determine the testing threshold, are proposed for controlling familiwise …

Testing oxidative-stress hypotheses generated by systems-biology assays
Role of yaaA in hydrogen peroxide stress response in Escherichia coli Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is commonly formed in microbial habitats by either chemical oxidation processes or host defense responses. H2O2 can penetrate cell membranes and damage key intracellular biomolecules, including DNA and …

New hypotheses about the origin of Pseudomonas syringae crop pathogens
Pseudomonas syringae is a common foliar plant pathogenic bacterium that causes diseases on many crop plants. We hypothesized that today's highly virulent P. syringae crop pathogens with narrow host range might have evolved after the advent of agriculture from ancestral P. syringae strains with wide …

White Opinions Of United States Immigration: Testing Rival Hypotheses, 2004
… immigration. The thesis tests several competing hypotheses concerning the determinants of public opinion – among white respondents – on immigration issues. These include: the contextual considerations of southern residence and proximity to large numbers of Hispanic immigrants, as well as the …

Multiple testing procedures for complex structured hypotheses and directional decisions
… based on the inherent structure of the tested hypotheses and specific needs of data analysis. Incorporating the inherent structure of the hypotheses results in development of more powerful and situation-specific multiple testing procedures than existing ones. The focus of this dissertation is …

The control of the false discovery rate under structured hypotheses
The hypotheses in many multiple testing problems often have some inherent structure based on prior information such as Gene Ontology in gene expression data. However, few false discovery rate (FDR) controlling procedures take advantage of this inherent structure. In this dissertation, we develop …

Tests of Adaptive Coloration Hypotheses for Madtom (Notorus) Catfishes (Siluriformes: Ictaluridae)
Predators select for defensive adaptations, such as stings, toxins, and camouflage color patterns. Madtoms, Noturus, are diminutive catfishes with dorsal and pectoral stings. Thirteen of the 25 nominal species have serrated spines in the pectoral sting and a contrasting pigment pattern. Behavior of …

A Methodological Consideration in the Comparison of Two Explanatory Hypotheses of Imagery
<p>A replication of the Carter and Craig (1975) investigation comparing the “conceptual peg” and “relational connective” explanations as to the effectiveness of an interaction imagery strategy in paired-associate learning was performed with the suggested changes in methodology. These changes …

Essays on Testing Hypotheses When Non-stationarity Exists in Panel Data Models
… dissertation consists of two essays on testing hypotheses in panel data models when non-stationarity exists in the model. This is done under the high-dimensional framework where both n (cross-section dimension) and T (time series dimension) are large. In the first essay, I discuss the limiting …

WHY DOES BODY WEIGHT PREDICT EMPLOYEE SALARY? A TEST OF COMPETING HYPOTHESES
I tested self-esteem and health limitations as two alternate mechanisms to explain the relationship between weight and salary, besides discriminatory practices. In the United States., there is some evidence to suggest that self-esteem mediates the relationship between weight and salary, however the …
