Extending yield-stress fluid paradigms
In this thesis, we present two new paradigms for yield-stress fluids; the first organizes the existing understanding of the various ways to achieve a yield-stress fluid into a useful methodology for the design of rheologically complex materials; the second is based on the discrepancy in the …

Cylindrical Decomposition Under Application-Oriented Paradigms
Quantifier elimination (QE) is a powerful tool for problem solving. Once a problem is expressed as a formula, such a method converts it to a simpler, quantifier-free equivalent, thus solving the problem. Particularly many problems live in the domain of real numbers, which makes real QE very …

Occupation Law and Paradigms of Control
This thesis analyses the notion of control in the law of military occupation. It addresses the following research question: what does control denote and what are its implications for military occupation? More specifically, it demonstrates that in present-day occupations, control as such occurs in …

Contending art education paradigms and professionalization.
… Rather than focusing on the contentious paradigms, this dissertation considers the Getty Center's activities on behalf of DBAE as an instance of professional challenge. Working from the sociological literature on professions and using a time series of selected Getty and NAEA documents …

Delegating computation reliably : paradigms and constructions
In an emerging computing paradigm, computational capabilities, from processing power to storage capacities, are offered to users over communication networks as a service. This new paradigm holds enormous promise for increasing the utility of computationally weak devices. A natural approach is for …

Sustainability entrepreneurship : design principles, processes, and paradigms
… investigation of the principles, processes, and paradigms of successful sustainability entrepreneurship. Based on a critical realist perspective, a multiple, embedded case study strategy was used to explore the unique design histories of successful sustainabilitydriven enterprises in four …

Paradigms of reality in Poe's mad narrative
This study focuses on an examination of madness in four short stories by American author Edgar Allan Poe: "Ligeia," "Eleonora," "The Black Cat," and "The Fall of the House of Usher." Using Walter Fischer's theoretical communication framework, the Narrative Paradigm, the four stories are examined …

HUMAN CENTERED DESIGN APPLIED TO PERCEPTUAL PARADIGMS
<p>This thesis gives three examples of projects that apply knowledge from areas such as human centered design, computer science, and psychology to study sensation and perception. All three of these projects were created to gather information on how humans interact with their surrounding environment …

Paradigms of Irishness for Young People in Dublin
… understandings of Irishness into particular paradigms of Irish identity. The findings show that though young people strongly identify with Irishness their understandings are often shifted around to accommodate varied meanings which can be implied of Irishness. Young people then hold both a …

The Role of Power Paradigms in Organizational Bullying
This phenomenological qualitative study examined the lived experiences of eleven individuals, hailing from mid-level to large for-profit organizations, who experienced organizational bullying from a victim, observer, or leadership perspective. The primary data collection method utilized in this …

NEW PARADIGMS IN SOURCE CODING AND CHANNEL CODING
The two pillars of information theory, data compression and channel coding, are often considered as having reached maturity a long time ago. Our research brings fresh perspectives to both these areas by challenging long-standing assumptions and introducing new frameworks. The Shannon entropy and …

Taxation paradigms: what is the East Anglian perception?.
… viewing taxation by identifying four alternative paradigms of taxation. This research recognises the work of Buchanan (1994) but challenges whether his alternatives are paradigms; other researchers suggest there are factors such as age, gender and background that can influence our view of …

New group testing paradigms: from practice to theory
We propose a novel group testing framework, termed semi-quantitative group testing, motivated by a class of problems arising in genome screening experiments in addition to other applications such as interpretable rule learning for decision making. Semi-quantitative group testing (SQGT) is a …

Machine learning paradigms for building energy performance simulations
This research seeks to overcome a technical limitation of building energy performance simulations, the computation time, by using surrogate modeling, a class of supervised machine learning techniques where the output is a performance metric. Though early machine learning methods were introduced …

Evolving Paradigms in State-Level Integrated Resource Planning
As global energy systems electrify, long-term planning processes are evolving to allow flexible economic analysis and acknowledge rapid financial and operational transformation. State-level integrated resource planning (IRP) processes allow oversight of long-term electric utility resource planning. …

Pre-Colonial African Paradigms and Applications to Black Nationalism
… African Americans do not realize the African paradigms from which phenomena in African American cultures derive. Furthermore, the lack of a nationalistic culture impedes the collective ability to hold such phenomena sacred and preserve it for the sake of posterity. Today, despite the extant …

Modelling financial time series using discrete and continuous paradigms
The aim of this dissertation is to look in some depth, at a limited number of statistical models, to describe the fluctuation of prices of financial assets. First, we shall concentrate on the multiplicative binomial model, where, after each succeeding period, the price can either increase or …
