Shape Identication and Ranking in Temporal Data Sets
Shapes are a concise way to describe temporal variable behaviors. Some commonly used shapes are spikes, sinks, rises, and drops. A spike describes a set of variable values that rapidly increase, then immediately rapidly decrease. The variable may be the value of a stock or a person's blood sugar …

Cell State Identication by Mass, Density, and volume
Cell size is often overlooked in the drive to define molecular mechanisms, but as a basic physical property it is an integrator of the cell's metabolic rate and indicator of cell fate. Development of the Suspended Microchannel Resonator (SMR), a microfluidic mass measurement system, enables …

Identication of Candidate Resistance Genes against Rhynchosporium in Barley
Rhynchosporium caused by the fungus Rhynchosporium commune is one of the most economically important and damaging diseases of barley worldwide. Research was carried out to identify candidate genes for resistance against rhynchosporium in barley, using genetics and next generation sequencing …

Modeling, system identication, and control for dynamic locomotion of the LittleDog robot on rough terrain
In this thesis, I present a framework for achieving a stable bounding gait on the LittleDog robot over rough terrain. The framework relies on an accurate planar model of the dynamics, which I assembled from a model of the motors, a rigid body model, and a novel physically-inspired ground …

NONPARAMETRIC IDENTIFICATION AND ESTIMATION OF STOCHASTIC FRONTIER MODELS
<p>This dissertation studies nonparametric identication and estimation of stochastic frontiermodels. It is composed of three chapters. The rst chapter investigates the identication and estimation of a cross sectional stochastic frontier model with Laplacian errors and unknown variance, which is …

Multivariate methods for the statistical analysis of hyperdimensional high-content screening data
… an osteosarcoma cell line. Robust univariate hit identication methods and manual network analysis identied an isoform of BRD4, a bromodomain and extra-terminal domain family member, as an endogenous inhibitor of DDR signaling. However, despite the plethora of data generated from our and other HC …

The digital symbol digit test : screening for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's
… and placing a burden on their families. Early identication can be extremely beneficial in treating or slowing down the onset of these diseases. One technique used to identify early warning signs is the use of cognitive tests. Unfortunately, grading these tests is subjective. In this study, we …

Theoretical Modelling and Characterisation of Concerted Tip and Surface Effects in NC-AFM
… were compared to experimental results, where tip identication was found to be possible on the c( 6 1) surface and the p(2 1) surface if a common ad-atom defect is present. Instabilities in the third surface were studied using two dierent structural tip terminations,<br/>where dissipation signals …

A computational framework to study neural-structural interactions in human walking
… length and velocity. We implement the parameter identication as an optimization based on the hypothesis that neural control and lower limb morphology have co-evolved for optimal metabolic economy of natural walking.

Unsupervised learning of lexical subclasses from phonotactics
… domain-general and not specialized to sublexicon identication, the results can be taken as statistical evidence for the heterogeneous lexica of the two languages. Moreover, the unsupervised nature of the clustering method demonstrates the learnability of sublexica from naturalistic data. The …

Bridging adaptive estimation and control with modern machine learning : a quorum sensing inspired algorithm for dynamic clustering
… matching, and dynamic system grouping and identication. We hope our algorithm can shed light on the idea that biological inspiration can help design computational algorithms, as it provides a natural bond bridging adaptive estimation and control with modern machine learning.

Identifying power relationships in dialogues
… explore the problem of engineering eective power identication systems. We show methods for constructing an eective ground truth corpus for analyzing power. We focus on three areas of modeling that help in improving the prediction of power relationships. 1) Utterance Level Language Cues - patterns …
