System regularities in design of experiments and their applications
… factorial experiments. The study quantifies regularities observed among main effects and multi-factor interactions. Such regularities are critical to efficient planning and analysis of experiments, and to robust design of engineering systems. Three previously observed properties are analyzed …

Exploring structural regularities for robust 3D reconstruction of urban scenes
… landscapes is the presence of strong structural regularities, such as planar surfaces, repetitive structures and all types of symmetries. While such regularities are largely ignored by existing SFM systems, in this thesis we demonstrate how they can be used to greatly facilitate 3D urban …

Recognizing simple human actions by exploiting regularities in pose sequences
The human visual system represents a very complex and important part of brain activity, occupying a very significant portion of the cortex resources. It enables us to see colors, detect motion, perceive dimensions and distance. It enables us to solve a very wide range of problems such as image …

Phonological Development: Mechanisms and Representations
… from the ability of adults to take advantage of regularities present in their language, which they have learned during the course of development. Recently, researchers have suggested that the sensitivity to distributional information in one's linguistic environment persists throughout adulthood …

Neural Encoding of Prior Experience in Sensorimotor Behavior
… holds that the nervous system learns statistical regularities in the environment to optimize behavior based on past experiences. The main challenge in evaluating this hypothesis is to reconcile conceptual views that have historically been developed at different scales. At the behavioral scale, the …

Essays in asset prices and macroeconomics
… to replicate simultaneously the historical regularities for both macroeconomic and financial variables for the US economy. In a framework that includes households with recursive preferences for consumption goods and housing services in a two sector production economy that includes long run …

A realistic evaluation of the work of a speech and language therapy service in primary schools (the First Schools Project) using the perceptions of some of the important stakeholders (teachers, SLTs and parents)
… inquiry. Part 1 was concerned with identifying regularities (i.e., which Mechanisms of the First Schools Project were occurring with which Outcomes) and a questionnaire with school staff was used. The purpose of Part 2 was to explain those regularities by collecting data that would support, …

The story in conversation: towards an integration of speech act theory and conversational analysis.
… analytic methods are used to observe some regularities wTuich distinguish the telling of stories within the turn-taking system of natural conversation. It is argued that the regularities observed by conversational analysis can be incorporated in a Gricean model by treating them as Lewisian …

Maintenance and Metalearning of Time Interval Representations
… evolutionary and experience-based statistical regularities in the world. This thesis uses a sensorimotor time production task to investigate different types of transformation and noise that exist between observation and action. First, I will propose a task which utilizes memory of a time …

Introduction to supersymmetry
… Global symmetries often account for approximate regularities we observe in nature - local or gauge symmetries are understood as basic symmetries which lie at the heart of the interactions of the constituents of matter.

The translator's habitus and shifts : a study on modulations in the Persian translations of Faulkner's 'The Sound And The Fury', 'Go Down Moses' and 'Absalom! Absalom!'

Predictions in a dynamic world: the adaptive role of the Active Prediction Network
… predictions based on long-term statistical regularities, the neural mechanisms supporting active prediction, the ability to flexibly anticipate semantic information in novel or atypical contexts, remain poorly understood. Across three functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies, …

Spatial Navigation in Immersive Virtual Environments
… micro-scale decisions producing these emergent regularities. They do not therefore ‘explain’ movement. Progress on this is difficult since decision-making mechanisms are hard to observe in the real world and the ‘experimenter effect’ is ever-present. Could the study of movement in immersive …

The construction and evaluation of statistical models of melodic structure in music perception and composition
… which acquire knowledge through the induction of regularities in corpora of existing music can, if examined with appropriate methodologies, provide significant insights into the cognitive processing involved in music perception and composition. This claim is examined in three stages. First, a …
