Complex regimes of synchronization
… interaction. In this work we investigate complex regimes of synchronization phenomena by means of theoretical analysis, numerical modeling, as well as practical analysis of experimental data. As a subject of our investigation we consider chimera state, where due to spontaneous symmetry-breaking of …

Understanding Controlling Shareholder Regimes
… emphasized heavily the "dispersed shareholder regimes" in the United States and the United Kingdom, although "controlling shareholder regimes" constitute the vast majority of the world's economy. Since there have been few systematic studies concerning controlling shareholder regimes (in …

Flow regimes in canopy turbulence
This thesis investigates turbulent flow regimes over canopies using direct numerical simulations. The term `canopy' refers to a group of substantial roughness elements protruding into the flow, which generally results in two distinct regions of interest: the near-canopy region, where the flow is …

Novel transport regimes in graphene
… platform to study a range of new transport regimes, such as quantum-coherent ballistic transport, electron hydrodynamics and energy dissipation at the atomic scale. We will study ballistic transport in the context of electronic lensing. We will also demonstrate that electron-electron …

Optical spectroscopy of HMX reaction regimes
A detailed study on the visible light emission from multiple granular HMX reactions has been completed. New techniques for measuring the reaction properties were devised, both directly and indirectly from the results gained from using optical spectroscopy. Two different impact initiated …

Alternative monetary regimes : are they operational?
Although the proposed alternative monetary regimes have received critical attention from White (1984), McCallum (1985), O' Driscoll ( 1987) and Hoover ( 1988), we are not aware of any systematic and coherent critical appraisal. The main motivation for this paper is that neither the originators nor …

Pathways to public life for professional women in Afghanistan: Negotiating shifting patriarchal political regimes and gender regimes
… and public life during different political regimes. Resisting the Western representation of Afghan women as passive victims, it uses the life story method, based on interviews with a wide range of women in public life during the period of US-sponsored democracy and intervention, to analyse …

Historical fire regimes in southeasern pine savannas
… pine savannas lack direct evidence of past fire regimes. As a result, uncertainty exists regarding the range of variation in frequency and seasonal timing of past fire regimes and the relative importance of anthropogenic and lightning-ignited fires. Characterization of past fire regimes is needed …

‘Current Regimes’ a play and critical analysis
… thesis consists of the original play ‘Current Regimes’ and a Critical Analysis on the process of writing and re-writing the play. ‘Current Regimes’ examines the concept of family in different settings. It takes an audience on a journey to Spain, where a same sex couple, Fiona and Caroline have …

Indigenous knowledge in international Arctic governance regimes
In contrast to the rising tide of alarmist news articles warning the world about potential clashes between the Arctic countries, this paper is not about conflict nor is it exclusively focused on nation-states. This project explores some of the international cooperation that is occurring in the …

New Regimes for Topology Optimization in Photonics
… of topology optimization, and presents new regimes for photonic design, where the key to finding the right solutions lies in posing the right questions. To begin with, we first review the current frameworks for photonic topology optimization. We point out that, as new algorithms emerge, the …

Understanding new regimes for light-matter interactions
This thesis focuses on achieving new understanding of the principles and phenomena involved in the interaction of light with a variety of complicated material systems, including biomaterials and nanostructured materials. We will show that bone piezoelectricity may be a source of intense …

Classification-based method for estimating dynamic treatment regimes
Dynamic treatment regimes are sequential decision rules dictating how to individualize treatments to patients based on evolving treatments and covariate history. In this thesis, we investigate two methods of estimating dynamic treatment regimes. The first method extends outcome weighted learning …

Internet control and authoritarianism : regimes defying political change
… that in the cases of certain authoritarian regimes such as China and Singapore, not only has the presence and use of the Internet failed to spawn strong opposition movements, but authorities in these states have cleverly entered the domain of online expression and have utilized the …

Repression, Elections, and Competitiveness in Competitive Authoritarian Regimes
Competitive authoritarian regimes are identified as a Post-Cold War phenomenon that utilize democratic institutions, but cling to authoritarian tendencies to remain in power. I posit that these authoritarian tendencies towards repression are limited by the competitive nature of the regimes. …

Institutionalization, repression and political instability in authoritarian regimes
Given that autocrats can be challenged by insiders of their ruling coalition and/or by the citizens of the country they govern, what control strategies can they use in order to minimize the potential for conflict and violence? The current literature on authoritarian politics focuses on the use of …

Charcoal chemistry : developing a proxy for paleofire regimes.
… information on several aspects of paleowildfire regimes. The fire intensity, the energy produced during a fire, is poorly understood for fires that occurred in the past. I propose that the organic chemical composition of charcoal may be used to approximate the fire temperature. To test this, I …

Some Collateral Effects of Four Academic Reinforcement Regimes
A multielement baseline, or alternating treatments design, was used to examine social collateral effects of non-contingent reinforcement, individualized reinforcement, group consequation and competitive reinforcement for academic performance. Four elementary school students selected by their …
