Model-Free Variable Selection through Sufficient Dimension Reduction
In this thesis we draw upon the natural connection between the fields of sufficient dimension reduction and variable selection to develop new theory and methods for model-free variable selection. After developing the natural connection between sufficient dimension reduction and model-free variable …

The Rhetorical Linkage Between Economic and Political Liberalization: A Case Study of the United States' Foreign Policy Response to the Arab Citizen Revolt
… a crisis in discourse concerning the "natural" connection between capitalism and democracy. I contend that this time of crisis emerged as the result of a rhetorical struggle between two competing views regarding the bond between economic and political liberalization. In achieving this …

Quantum Resources in Quantum Technologies: From Quantum Optimization to Many-Body Physics
… First, we show how squeezing establishes a natural connection between the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm and quantum metrology, revealing the role of quantum correlations and providing a benchmarking method for quantum-optimization devices. Further, we study multipartite …

Characterization and computation of equilibria in infinite games
… providing evidence that separable games are the natural class of continuous games in which to study computation. The characterization theorem also provides a natural connection between separability and the notion of the rank of a game. Second, we apply this theory to give an algorithm for …

When nature speaks : evoking connectedness with nature in children through role-play in outdoor programming
… education programs, could strengthen feelings of connection to nature in children. Six classes participated in the study through taking part in a field trip at the Devonian Botanic Garden; a department of the University of Alberta located in Edmonton, Alberta. Classes participated in one of two …

Quantum-classical and semiclassical path integral methods for condensed phase dynamics
… is trajectory based, and therefore offers a natural connection between quantum mechanics and classical mechanics. This work will investigate path integral formulation in treating a quantum system coupled to anharmonic environment and the semiclassical formulation of path integral. A big …

The Benevolent Ideal Observer Theory
… to his tutor Francis Hutcheson. I explore how a natural connection between ideal observers, benevolence and utilitarianism has often been assumed without being explicitly argued for. </p><p>In chapter 2, I lay out certain crucial meta-theoretical assumptions that help to motivate BIORD. I argue …

Computational Study of Two-Dimensional Materials for Energy Applications
… and the effective thickness of the layer. A natural connection between the 2D polarisability and the screening in a 2D layer is developed. Moreover, a model to relate the 2D polarisability back to the 3D dielectric constants is found with the model reproducing the in-plane 3D dielectric …
