The universality of concord
Abstract In this dissertation, we develop and defend a universal theory of concord (i.e. feature sharing between a head noun and the modifying adjectives). When adjectives in a language show concord with the noun they modify, concord morphology usually involves the full set of features of that noun …

Universality in microscopic glass models
In der vorliegenden Arbeit werden verschiedene mikroskopische Modelle für strukturelle Gläser untersucht. Ziel einer solchen Untersuchung ist es, Eigenschaften solcher Systeme zu identifizieren, die sich als insensitiv gegenüber den Details der Modellierung erweisen und daher als Kandidaten für …

Generalizations of Kempe's universality theorem
… a flawed proof of what is now called Kempe's Universality Theorem: that the intersection of a closed disk with any curve in R2 defined by a polynomial equation can be drawn by a linkage. Kapovich and Millson published the first correct proof of this claim in 2002, but their argument relied on …

Transport methods and universality for [beta]-ensembles
… ensembles. We use transport methods to prove universality of the eigenvalue gaps in the bulk and at the edge, in the single cut and multicut regimes. In a different direction, we also prove Central Limit Theorems for the linear statistics of [beta]-ensembles at the macroscopic and mesoscopic …

Unsimulability, Universality, and Undecidability in the Gizmo Framework
… of one gizmo to simulate another gizmo), universality (the ability of a gizmo to simulate all gizmos in its simulability class), and undecidability (the inability to decide whether a maze made of a gizmo is solvable). We give a proof that the 1- toggle cannot simulate the 2-toggle, as it …

The Universality of Intrinsic Flattening in Extragalactic Stellar Disks
Highly inclined (edge-on) galaxies provide the unique perspective necessary to constrain the intrinsic flattening, 𝑐/𝑎, of galactic disks. We use “dust-free” 3.6 𝜇m maps of 141 edge-on spiral galaxies from the Spitzer Survey of Stellar Structure in Galaxies (S4G) and its early-type galaxy extension …

Between afrocentrism and universality : detective fiction by black women
This paper focuses on mysteries written by the Afro-American women authors Barbara Neely and Valerie Wilson Wesley. Both authors place a black woman in the role of the detective - an innovative feature not only in the realm of female detective literature of the past two decades but also with regard …

Notions of Universality and Difference: Nineteenth-Century Mexican Costumbrismo
<p>Traditionally in the history of Mexican art, the nineteenth century is overlooked and generally categorized as transitional and inconsequential. As a result of political and economic instability, the arts of the nineteenth century have been considered secondary in comparison with the production …

Discrete universality theorems for the Riemann and Hurwitz zeta-functions /
… the thesis, the problems related to the discrete universality of the Riemann and Hurwitz zeta-functions and , , , which are defined, for , by the series and and by analytic continuation elsewhere, are considered. Let be the space of analytic functions on equipped with the topology of uniform …

Weighted Universality Theorems for the Riemann and Hurwitz Zeta-Functions /
… applications are often investigated. Weighted universality of zeta-functions is comparatively a new branch of universality, there exist only few papers in that direction. Therefore, it was important to continue investigation of weighted universality of the classical Riemann and Hurwitz …

Probing Lepton Flavour Universality With $\bz \to \kstarz \taup \taum$
… has hinted at the violation of lepton flavour universality. Effective field theories which attempt to find an explanation for these anomalies predict sizeable enhancements to the rate of $\bquark \to \squark \taup \taum$ currents. We use $pp$ collision data collected by the LHCb detector to …

Universality in the Equilibration of Quenched Yukawa One Component Plasmas
… indicating coupling to collective modes. Universality is demonstrated by showing that 1/Γ(t) curves taken at similar κ collapse onto the same curve when plotted vs. ω_{pi}t. We also compare our results to molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The utility of the universality is shown by …

Islam and International Relations: Towards an Alternative Conception of Universality
<p>This dissertation develops an Islamic Theory of International Relations (ITIR) based on modifying the classic Islamic categories of <em>Dar al Harb and Dar al Salaam</em>. The main purpose of this dissertation is to use categories of Islamic political thought not derived from Western …

Unexpected Universality in Disordered Systems and Modeling Perpendicular Recording Media
In state-of-the-art storage applications such as hard disk drives, the intrinsic switching field distribution of the media grains is one of the most crucial properties defining the recording quality. However, this piece of microscopic information is very hard to measure macroscopically, especially …

Universality of Cutoff for Random Walks on Random Cayley Graphs
Consider the random Cayley graph of a finite group G with respect to k generators chosen uniformly at random. This draws a Cayley graph uniformly amongst all degree-k Cayley graphs of G. A conjecture of Aldous and Diaconis (1985) from the '80s asserts, for k ≫ log |G|, the following: • the random …

"Mixed joint universality for Dirichlet L-functions and Hurwitz type zeta-functions" /
The aims of the thesis are mixed joint universality theorems for Dirichlet L-functions and Hurwitz type zeta-functions, i.e., theorems on simultaneous approximation of a collection of analytic functions by shifts of Dirichlet L-functions which have Euler's product over primes and by shifts of …

Investigations of ‘universality plus difference’ as being a ‘partial way of seeing’
… within this cosmopolitanist framework of universality and difference and their coexistence, as described by Kwame Anthony Appiah, are used as a means of exploring a partial way of seeing. This is explored by a series of works: OneSixty Characters, Roaming Sweets, Ringe Raja, and the final …
