    • Chen, Xiaohong; Fan, Yanqin; Tsyrennikov, Victor (Vanderbilt University, 2004)
      We propose a sieve maximum likelihood (ML) estimation procedure for a broad class of semiparametric multivariate distribution models. A joint distribution in this class is characterized by a parametric copula function ...
    • Viscusi, W. Kip (Notre Dame Law Review, 2021)
      Resource allocations of all kinds inevitably encounter financial constraints, making it infeasible to make financially unbounded commitments. Such resource constraints arise in almost all health and safety risk contexts, ...

      Department: Civil Engineering
      This study is concerned with the accurate prediction of response of structural components under mechanical loads in the presence of various types of irregularities in homogeneous as well as inhomogeneous systems like ...
    • Chen, Xinyu (2008-08-03)
      Department: Civil Engineering
      An efficient response surface construction method for fatigue life prediction is investigated in this study, based on the Gaussian process (GP) modeling approach. The model is applied to fatigue crack growth analysis, in ...
    • Serizawa, Shigehiro; Weymark, John A. (Vanderbilt University, 2002)
      For exchange economies with classical economic preferences, it is shown that any strategy-proof social choice function that selects Pareto optimal outcomes cannot guarantee everyone a consumption bundle bounded away from ...
    • Bichon, Barron James (2010-04-17)
      Department: Civil Engineering
      Reliability analysis is critically important to a wide array of engineering fields that increasingly depend on computational models to predict system performance. However, previously available methods for performing this ...
    • Collins, Nina Renee (2013-07-29)
      Department: Chemistry
      The furanocembranoids are a family of natural products generated from oxidation and polycyclization of well-established terpene frameworks. The biosynthesis of these metabolites involves oxidative installation of butenolide ...

      Department: Chemistry
      Everninomicin D is a potent orthosomycin antibiotic that has a unique binding site on the 50S ribosome allowing it to inhibit protein synthesis without any cross-resistance due to other ribosome-targeting antibiotics. The ...
    • Tan, Yumeng (Vanderbilt University. Peabody College, 2012-03-01)
      The capstone contains three parts: teaching philosophy, the interpretation of TESOL standards, and application. Teaching philosophy concentrates on what I believe in second language teaching. I am convinced that new mode ...

      This capstone paper introduces my teaching philosophy based on my experience of two-year learning and practicing at Peabody College, Vanderbilt University. Under the guidance of TESOL standards, I critically analyze what ...
    • Qian, Yunlu (Vanderbilt University. Peabody College, 2020)
      In this paper, I showed my teaching philosophy as a qualified adult EFL teacher by demonstrating my understanding of constructivism, culturally responsive pedagogy, communicative language teaching, and application of these ...
    • Jiang, Yun (Vanderbilt University. Peabody College, 2021-04)
      This paper is a reflection of all my knowledge of the TESOL field gained and distilled from my two-year learning experience at Vanderbilt University. In this paper, my vision of a qualified and excellent EFL teacher is ...
    • Bailey, Olivia (Vanderbilt University. Peabody College, 2021-04)
      The three main sections of this capstone demonstrate my successful completion of the Masters of Education in English Language Learners program (international track) and how my coursework meets EFL TESOL standards. The first ...
