Cremer Points and Critical Points in Complex Dynamics
In 2000, Kiwi proved that polynomials with a Cremer fixed point having the small cycles property have a non-accessible point in their Julia set. We extend Kiwi's result to the context of rational maps with a completely invariant attracting component. More precisely, we prove that rational functions …

Bureaucratic access points
… conflicts and challenges. The notion of access points has traditionally involved lobbyists and interest groups accessing elected officials and their staffs. I ask what is the effect of lobbyists and interest groups accessing bureaucrats directly in the policy implementation process and its …

Fixed Points and Coincidences
In Chapter 1 a Lefschetz-type coincidence theorem for two maps from an arbitrary topological space to a manifold is given: the coincidence index is equal to the Lefschetz number. It follows that if the Lefschetz number of the pair is not zero then the maps have a coincidence. In Chapter 2 we …

Complexes with invert points
… Hausdorff space X, invertible at two or more points which have open cone neighborhoods in X, is characterized as a suspension. A locally compact Hausdorff space X which is invertible at exactly one point p, which has an open cone neighborhood U such that U - p has two components, while X - p …

Investigation of Inflection Points as Brace Points in Multi-Span Purlin Roof Systems
… conducted to evaluate the behavior of inflection points as brace points in multi-span purlin roof systems. Seven tests were conducted using "C" and "Z" purlins attached to standing seam and through fastened panels. These tests were subjected to uniform gravity loading by means of a vacuum chamber. …

Reducing instrumentation points in Larva
When dealing with the correctness assurance of huge and complex systems, runtime verification is becoming an increasingly popular technique. The Larva tool was built to automatically generate runtime verification monitors that would help to validate the behavior of Java programs at runtime. The …

Rational Points on Lattice Varieties
… thesis we investigate the properties of rational points on lattice varieties over Witt vectors with algebraically closed residue field in prime characteristic. These varieties are defined over a finite field. For varieties over finite field, the local zeta function encapsulates valuable …

Remodelling Surface Site Interaction Points
… of molecules by abstracting a discrete number of points on the van der Waals surface of molecules. Each point is assigned a value based on empirical interaction scales and the calculated Molecular Electrostatic Potential (MEP). SSIPs have been used to provide predictions of partition coefficients, …

Generalised mathematical models for 3D magnetic reconnection at null points: magnetic reconnection at null points
… candidate for such locations are magnetic null points, known to be abundant for example in the solar atmosphere. Reconnection leads to changes in the topology of the magnetic field, and energy being released as heat, kinetic energy and acceleration of particles. Thus reconnection is responsible …

System integration at Navy stock points
Navy Stock Points are vital links in the Navy's supply/maintenance network; their performance has a direct impact on supply response time and operational availability of fleet equipment. One of the major functions performed at a stock point is the commercial acquisition of non-standard material. …

Data Structures for Points-To Analysis
… structures, and the algorithms upon them, for points-to analysis. Our focus is mainly on flow-sensitive analysis but our techniques can either be applied to other analyses or used in analyses which combine flow-sensitivity with other sensitivities. For staged flow-sensitive analysis (SFS), we …

Grobner Bases and Ideals of Points
The main point of this thesis is an introduction to the theory of Grobner bases. The concept of Grobner basis and construction of the Grobner basis by Buchberger's Algorithm, in which the notion of S-polynomials is introduced, and a few modified or improved versions of Grobner basis algorithm are …

Quantization Points of Densities and Samples
… problem is to choose those k values (or points) that will best represent the given p.d.f. or sample. The optimal quanitization points (also known as principal points or representative points) are those that minimize loss of information, usually measured in terms of mean rth power absolute …

Power Integral Points on Elliptic Curves
This thesis looks at some of the modern approaches towards the solution of Diophantine equations, and utilizes them to display the nonexistence of perfect powers occurring in certain types of sequences. In particular we look at the denominator divisibility sequences (Bn) formed by Mordell elliptic …

Dominant points detection for shape analysis
