However, if this is the case, then the compelling intuition that an all-things-considered morally right action cannot be wrong must be false. In this thesis, I offer a way of reconciling these two compelling …

Unavoidable minors in graphs and matroids
… internally 4-connected graphs identifying all unavoidable series minors of these classes. Loosely speaking, a series minor allows for arbitrary edge deletions but only allows edges to be contracted when they meet a degree-2 vertex. Dually, a parallel minor allows for any edge contractions but …

Maintaining secrecy when information leakage is unavoidable
(cont.) We apply the framework to get new results, creating (a) encryption schemes with very short keys, and (b) hash functions that leak no information about their input, yet-paradoxically-allow testing if a candidate vector is close to the input. One of the technical contributions of this …

Effect of Signalization and Temporal Predictability Upon Electrical Brain Stimulation Preference in the Rat.
… that both animal and human subjects receiving unavoidable aversive stimulation prefer that these aversive events be predictable. Knapp, Kause, and Perkins (1959) originally demonstrated this preference for predictable over unpredictable unavoidable shock using rats in a T-maze. They found that …

A Stress Analysis of Circular Cylindrical Shell Intersections, Including the Influences of Reinforcement, Cyclic Plasticity and Fatigue
The intersection of cylinders is an unavoidable element in many engineering installations such as nozzle to cylinder connections in nuclear reactors or pressure vessels, pipe intersections in offshore platforms etc. The region of intersection presents a sharp geometric discontinuity in the …

A Correlation of Microstructure With Hot-Ductility in the Heat-Affected Zone of Inconel 718.
… high stresses and complex stress patterns are unavoidable. Though process control parameters can be varied to minimize such stresses, cracking may occur in the fusion zone or in the weld heat-affected zone (HAZ). The objective of this study was to obtain a better understanding of hot cracking …

A study of the formation of interstrand and intrastrand crosslinks through abasic site and cleaved abasic site chemistry
… instability or cell death can occur. One common, unavoidable, and highly reactive form of DNA damage is the formation of apurinic/apyrimidinic sites (known as abasic sites); which occur at least 10,000 times per cell per day. If left unrepaired, subsequent damages such as interstrand crosslinks or …
