(Vanderbilt University, 2019-03-15)Gestalt principles of grouping have been widely studied in diagrammatic reasoning because diagrams that follow these principles are easier to understand than those that are not (Lemon et al 2007, Stieff 2007, Novick and ...
-
(2014-04-29)Department: Biomedical EngineeringBackscattering Interferometry (BSI) has been used to detect bio-molecular interactions by measuring shifts in the bulk refractive index of a sample due to conformational changes of the interacting species. BSI has the ...

(2006-07-24)Department: Electrical EngineeringIn this dissertation, distributed control with sensor networks is used to suppress beam vibrations. The distributed active vibration control strategy has the advantages of being scalable and fault-tolerant for use in ...
-
(2010-06-08)Department: Computer ScienceAnalysts, scientist, engineers, and multimedia professionals require massive processing power to analyze financial trends, create test simulations, model climate, compile code, render video, decode genomes and other complex ...
-
(2005-08-10)Department: Mechanical EngineeringMany research initiatives are currently underway to improve the performance of thermoelectric coolers (TECs). The primary drawback of TECs is their inefficiency. Most of the ongoing research concentrates on various ...
-
(2009-08-04)Department: Computer ScienceEarly detection and isolation of faults is crucial for ensuring system safety and efficiency. Online diagnosis schemes are usually integrated with fault adaptive control schemes to mitigate these fault effects, and avoid ...
-
(2010-03-23)Department: Electrical EngineeringThis project is aimed at developing a system allowing Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) to perform distributed tasks within a fault-tolerant context, called the Distributed Apt Resource Transference System (DARTS). By creating ...
-
(Journal of Legal Analysis, 2021)As consolidated multidistrict litigation has come to dominate the federal civil docket, the problem of how to divide attorney fees among participating firms has become the source of frequent and protracted litigation. For ...

(2019-07-19)Department: Spanish and PortugueseThis dissertation explores the way in which the poetry and plays of Ferreira Gullar (Brazil, 1930-2016), Miguel Piñero (Puerto Rico/New York, 1946-1988), and Pedro Juan Gutiérrez (Cuba, 1950-) go about imagining utopian ...
-
(Southern California Law Review, 2019)For the past century, property rights-and in particular development rights-have been circumscribed and largely defined by comprehensive local land use regulations. As any student of land use knows, zoning across the country ...
-
(Colorado Law Review, 2004)There is a peculiar point of agreement between prominent defenders of originalist and dynamic interpretive methods, that their preferred interpretive approach applies not just to statutes or to the Constitution, but to ...
-
(Genome Research, 2022-10)There is increasing appreciation that, in addition to being shaped by an individual's genotype and environment, most complex traits are also determined by poorly understood interactions between these two factors. So-called ...
-
(2017-11-16)Department: NeuroscienceNeurons are specialized cells that communicate through electrochemical signals: a neuron receives input through dendrites and sends information through a single axon. The receptive field for each neuron is defined by sister ...
-
(2007-12-04)Department: Biological SciencesIn recent years it has become apparent that microRNAs (miRNAs) are common feature of eukaryotic genomes. The functional products of these non-canonical genes are small, ~22nt RNAs that negatively regulate translation. ...
