Untangling Genomes from Metagenomes
Abundant and evolutionarily diverse populations of microbes dramatically shape the ecology of every marine environment on Earth. While it is straightforward to detect and classify members of these natural communities using molecular methods, the vast majority remain inaccessible to laboratory …

Art as Research: Untangling the Ecological Citizen
In this thesis, Lisa Figge analyzes the political space of ecological citizenship by theorizing her art practice. Beginning with an Arendtian lens, Figge creates projects in the vein of New Genre Public Art, to trace the qualitatively-distinct activities of the public sphere, in which ecological …

Untangling the determinants of crime in South Africa
This study investigates the relationships between several key economic, sociodemographic and infrastructural factors and crime in South Africa. Using the five March waves, 2003 to 2007, of the Labour Force Survey and crime statistics for the five-year period from April 2003 to March 2008 from the …

Untangling the effects of residential segregation on individual mobility
More than half of today's world population lives in cities and that fraction is steadily growing. Models that accurately capture all segments of the population are necessary in order to design effective policies and new technologies to ensure efficient and stable operations of cities. The current …

Perceptions of agency : untangling the knotty web of Al
Artificial intelligence systems (Al) have become a ubiquitous part of modern life. Yet their complexity has prevented a concrete conceptualization that correctly map the web of human actors and computational processes involved in Al. This opaque representation of AI poses questions for …

Untangling compact and diffuse ionized emission toward galactic hii regions
HII regions are clouds of ionized hydrogen gas surrounding B0- and O-type stars. The ionized hydrogen in these regions emits both radio recombination line (RRL) and also thermal radio continuum. Diffuse ionized hydrogen, known as the 'Warm Ionized Medium' (WIM) also exists in the Galaxy. The WIM …

Certain free group functions and untangling closed curves on surfaces
This thesis primarily addresses the problem of untangling closed geodesics in finite covers of hyperbolic surfaces. Our motivation comes from results of Scott and Patel. Scott's result tells us that one can always untangle a closed geodesic on a hyperbolic surface in a finite degree cover. Our goal …

Untangling the coevolutionary history between doves and their parasitic lice
In host-parasite systems, any given host species can be associated with multiple types of parasites, each of which can have a unique ecological relationship with the host. However, it remains unclear how these ecological differences link to evolutionary patterns. What shapes the dynamics of a …

Untangling the complexity of nature: Machine-learning for accelerated life-sciences
The fundamental understanding of living processes is one of the main pillars in modern medicine and technology. Biological mechanisms are convoluted and stochastic systems that remain largely misunderstood despite centuries of rigorous scientific work. In recent years, machine-learning (ML) has …

Fire disturbance belowground: untangling consequences for soil food webs and organic matter
Soils and the ecological communities they house provide a diverse array of ecosystem services including the provisioning of food and fiber, decomposition and nutrient cycling, water filtration, and the maintenance of terrestrial biodiversity. These complex belowground communities, and therefore the …

Untangling energy dependent radiation damping and chemical interface damping in gold nanorods
Plasmonic metal nanostructures have long been investigated for their use in light harvesting and sensing applications. It may be more favorable to enhance either radiative or non-radiative effects that arise after plasmon decay depending on the intended application. Therefore, understanding the …

Untangling the Web: The role of Offshore Financial Centers in Real Estate
This paper aims to promote a greater understanding of Offshore Financial Centers and the role that they play in real estate by rendering explicit pertinent questions such as what are the most dominant Offshore Financial Centers, who is using these Offshore Financial Centers and how and where these …

Untangling clumps-factors influencing seedling ecology in a semi-desert, and the implications for restoration ecology
Facilitation between plants and patch dynamics are two common ecological processes in semi-arid regions. I tested the relevance of these processes to seedling establishment of perennial species on degraded landscapes in Namaqualand, South Africa. The species were grouped into two functional guilds, …

When Sunday Meets Monday: American Evangelicals, their Gospel, and the Workplace
… work, this study aspires to at least begin untangling some of this convoluted relationship. Drawing upon history, theology, and sociology, especially ethnographic methods and interviews, this study argues that when American evangelicals think about engaging their workplaces evangelism takes …

Stephen Dedalus and the Mind as Hypertext in <em>Ulysses</em>
… the mind to become a removed hypertext space untangling Stephen and his thoughts apart from Dublin.</p> <p>This paper derives from the hypertext theories pioneered by theorists such as Jay David Bolter and George P. Landow, who were very much influenced by Joyce’s writing and the revolution of …

Calibration of the COHERENT Neutrino Flux Normalization Detector
Neutrinos hold the promise of untangling many unresolved questions in particle physics. Their unique properties and behaviors offer a distinctive window into understanding the fundamentals of the universe, potentially providing answers to some of the most deep puzzles in modern physics. CEνNS, or …
