Countable inductive limits
Inductive systems and inductive limits have by now become fairly well established in the general theory of topological vector spaces. It is a branch of Functional Analysis which is receiving a reasonable amount of attention by modern mathematicians. It is of course a very interesting subject of its …

Limits of QCD
This thesis explores the fundamental kinematic limits of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), including the soft, collinear, and Regge limits, using soft-collinear effective theory (SCET). We begin by studying transverse momentum dependent (TMD) physics in semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering (SIDIS), …

The Limits of Screening
This thesis is about screening for cancer—about testing healthy individuals for disease. The traditional way to approach this subject is to begin by considering whether screening is effective. So, for example, there is a hearty debate about whether cancer screening reduces mortality to a meaningful …

Indecomposability in inverse limits.
Topological inverse limits play an important in the theory of dynamical systems and in continuum theory. In this dissertation, we investigate classical inverse limits of Julia sets and set-valued inverse limits of arbitrary compacta. Using the theory of Hubbard trees, the trunk of the Julia set of …

The Limits of Longevity
… fission. However, all demographic studies have limits on observation times and sample sizes, so it is unknown if these failures were because of an actual absence of aging or these inherent study limitations. Some argue that these species must be ageless. Because of pressures that result from the …

The limits of perestroika
This study examines Mikhail Gorbachev's policy of perestroika, or restructuring. The analysis begins by defining the political-economic "structure" (termed "neo-Stalinism") of the Soviet Union. The study evaluates Gorbachev's policies and results. Though the internal reforms to date have r been …

Mobile limits and the limits of mobility in French representations of urban space
… what happens when they interact with urban limits in unexpected or unintended ways. Through the thematic lens of the border, my readings of the spatial practices of urban travelers breathe new life into canonical literary and cinematic texts, chronologically spanning from Louis Aragon’s Le …

The limits of parallel processing
Trying to do two things at once decreases performance of one or both tasks in many cases compared to the situation when one performs each task by itself. The present thesis deals with the question why and in which cases these dual-task costs emerge and moreover, whether there are cases in which …

The limits of Brune's impedance
"The impedance concept as popularized by Oliver Heaviside in the 1880s may be used to model physical systems that may or may not include wave propagation. Otto Brune in 1931 coined the term and then provided a proof that ``positive real"" is a necessary and sufficient condition for network …

Testing the limits of nonlocality
The nascent field of quantum information offers the promise of dramatic speed increases for certain types of computation and logical protocols which are classically impossible. The phenomenon of nonlocality is fundamental to this study, and polarization-entangled photons o er a clean, bright, and …

Theoretical Limits of Quantum Ranging

Performance limits on chemical computation
A class of novel computers uses solute concentrations of distinct chemical species as logic signals and diffusion for signal transport. I establish a bound on the speed, density, and error rate of such computers from first principles. I let the chemical computer engineer choose a "design tuple" of …

Fundamental limits of wideband localization
Location-awareness is essential for many wireless network applications. However, determining nodes' positions precisely is a challenging task, especially in harsh multipath propagation environments. To address this problem, wide bandwidth signals are envisioned to be used in future localization …

Far-Right Civilizationism: Limits and Contradictions
This thesis critically explores the ideological aspects of political contestation within the states and societies of the so-called Liberal International Order (LIO) in recent years. Such divisions are associated with key capitalist social and political formations which are concerned with the LIO’s …

Quantifying the Limits of Fingerprint Variability
