A comparative investigation of the attribution of desires and preferences
… limited elements of mental state attribution. A minimal form of theory of mind has been proposed by Apperly and Butterfill in human adults, which would allow rapid, efficient responses alongside a separate, slower, ‘full blown’ theory of mind. It has been suggested that this minimal system may be …

Markov Approximations: The Characterization of Undermodeling Errors
… of low order HMMs that best approximate the true system of a HMM. We introduce the notion minimality and show that best approximations of the true system with complexity greater or equal to the order of a minimal system are actually equivalent realizations. Understanding this further allows us to …

Adaptive-Optimal Control of Spacecraft near Asteroids
… trajectories in the presence of unknown system and sensor noise. This adaptive control methodology assumes no information on the system dynamics, and it is shown to track trajectories successfully in the vicinity of the asteroid. Then a nonlinear model predictive control methodology is …

Deconstructing Ihf-Mediated Inhibition of the Complex acs Promoter
… acs transcription. First, I helped define the minimal system required for this IHF-dependent inhibition, showing it requires the promoter-distal CRP site and an amino acid residue located within a surface determinant of CRP that interacts with RNAP. Surprisingly, for a Class III promoter, …

Phase Separation Mediated Compartmentalisation of Rotavirus Replication
… hyperphosphorylation of NSP5. In this thesis, a minimal system comprising recombinant NSP2 and NSP5 was established, in order to study the formation of viroplasms and the effects of NSP5 phosphorylation on viral replication. This system revealed a phosphorylation-dependent allosteric switch in …

Integrated Energy System Modeling For Supporting Energy Systems Planning Under Uncertainty
… and satisfactory quality in regional energy systems requires the formulation of a model to allocate energy resources and to properly develop renewable energy sources. In addition, the contradictions and interactions of economic development and environmental sustainability are significant …

Bayesian Learning for Data-Efficient Control
… to learn control of unfamiliar dynamical systems with increasing autonomy are ubiquitous. From robotics, to finance, to industrial processing, autonomous learning helps obviate a heavy reliance on experts for system identification and controller design. Often real world systems are …

Structural investigations of adenosylcobalamin-dependent enzyme maturation
… through GTP hydrolysis. In addition to the human system, there are two bacterial systems used to understand the maturation of MCM: a homologous three-component system from Methylobacterium extorquens and an analogous two-component system from Cupriavidus metallidurans. The two-component system …
