Hyperdefinable groups and modularity
In this thesis is presented a study of groups of the form G/G^{00}, where G is a 1-dimensional, definably compact, definably connected, definable group in a saturated real closed field M, with respect to a notion called 1-basedness. In particular G will be one of the following: 1. ([-1,1),+ mod 2) …

Modularity in Somatic Cell Reprogramming
Reprogramming relies on the concept that cellular fate is plastic, and therefore a considerable effort has been made to develop molecular strategies that reset the epigenome to achieve distinct cell fates, including stem cells. Deriving induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells has thus emerged as a …

Modularity and locality in interpretation
This thesis will argue for four broad claims: (1) That local contexts are needed for a descriptively adequate theory of linguistic interpretation, (2) That presupposition accommodation is made with respect to a set of grammatically defined candidates, (3) That the set of accommodation candidates is …

Modularity of signaling cycle architectures
… cycles with respect to two properties: modularity, that is the ability to be treated as separate functional units irrespective of interconnections, and insulation, the ability to attenuate the effect of retroactivity applied by downstream systems and hence facilitate modular design in …

Functional modularity in gene networks
This thesis addresses two sources of context-dependence in both systems and synthetic biology: retroactivity and competition for shared cellular resources. The contribution is the development of simple-to-use computational tools that aide the analysis and design of multi-module genetic systems. …

On the Modularity of Higher-Dimensional Varieties
In this thesis, we first introduce Wiles' method to establish that a Calabi-Yau threefold defined over the field Q with 2-dimensional ℓ-adic cohomology is modular, answering a question of Saito & Yui. Second, we show that a quintic threefold with 4-dimensional middle cohomology is Hilbert …

Increasing the modularity of Web Pentimento's codebase
Pentimento is an editor for handwritten video lectures. Its purpose is to allow users to record actions in real-time while providing non-chronological editing capabilities. However, the original Pentimento program only runs on Mac computers. In an attempt to make Pentimento more generally …

Modularity as an enabler for evolutionary acquisition
The end of the cold war witnessed several significant changes in the defense acquisition environment. Budgets declined and the scope of mission expanded. At first, the DoD did not respond well to these pressures resulting in cost overruns and schedule delays becoming the norm. In an effort to …

Towards More Generalizable Neural Networks via Modularity
… of dimensions of generalization. Inspired by the modularity of biological learning systems, this thesis then demonstrates theoretically and empirically that modularity promotes generalization by providing a powerful inductive bias. Finally, the thesis proposes a new challenging spatial navigation …

Introducing Modularity into Complex Software Test Suite Frameworks
Large, complex programming projects are often constructed by developers at multiple institutions working with a variety of computer architectures and environments. For such projects a useful testing scheme must test all functionality in the software, be able to run on all relevant architectures, …

Retroactivity, modularity, and insulation in synthetic biology circuits
… is the reuse of well-characterized modules. Modularity simplifies circuit design by allowing for the decomposition of systems into separate modules for individual construction. Complex regulatory networks can be assembled from a library of devices. However, current devices in synthetic …

Neuromuscular modularity and behavioral correlates of motor control
I studied organizational principles that may subserve the control and learning of forelimb movements. Among these principles, I focused on muscular coordination patterns, motor cortical excitability, and sensorimotor interactions. I found that muscle activity in grasping and reaching behaviors …

Inspiration and Novelty: Creativity and the Modularity of Mind
