Abstract:
Many physical systems are modeled mathematically as variational problems, where the observed configurations are expected to be local or global minimizers of a suitable energy. Such an energy can be very complicated, as well as the physical phenomenon under investigation. Thus, as a starting point, it is useful to focus on some simple models, which however capture the main features. In this thesis we concentrate on two kinds of energies, that can be both viewed as nonlocal variants of the perimeter functional. The nonlocality consists in a bulk term, that in one case is given by an elastic en

Abstract:
It is known that gradient flow in linear neural networks using Euclidean loss almost always avoids critical points that have at least one eigendirection with negative curvature. Using algebraic invariants of the gradient flow we try to prove that the set of all critical points with no second-order curvature (zero Hessian) for arbitrary networks is associated to a subset of the invariants of lower dimension. This would mean that these critical points are almost surely avoided. We show that this holds for networks with $3$ or less hidden layers and a few other special cases. We show by way of ex

Abstract:
We present new algorithms for computing local minimizers of the trust-region subproblem (TRS). This problem consists in minimizing a quadratic function subject to a ball constraint. In particular, this problem appears as a subproblem in trust-region methods for constrained and unconstrained optimization. First, by modeling the TRS with a new semidefinite program, different than the standard semidefinite relaxation, we derive an algorithm, similar in structure to the Rendl-Wolkowicz Algorithm, which implicitly solves the semidefinite program by maximizing a single variable concave functi

The purpose of this study was to examine the dynamics between spirituality and development. The point of departure for the study took place in Rishikesh and Dharamsala, in India. Our main object was to examine the role of the Divine Life Society (DLS), in Rishikesh and the Tibetan government in exile, in Dharamsala, in terms of local development. To achieve a solid platform regarding the theoretical framework, relevant studies were made in Hinduism and Buddhism. The study shows that there is a connection between religion and development. Nevertheless, this connection is not unequivocal, hence,

How does the focus of attention influence the encoding of information? Research has shown that size and allocation of the attentional window has an influence on what information is attended to or missed. The size-scale of features also effects processing of visual information. Previous research involving hierarchical stimuli suggests precedence for global features. In the present experiment, I investigated the influence of attentional window size on accuracy of encoding hierarchical stimuli at the global and local level.

One aspect of group living that changes with group size is competition for resources. Whether intraspecific competition occurs via scramble vs. contest competition can affect the stability and survival of the group or population.

Abstract:
COORDENAÇÃO DE APERFEIÇOAMENTO DO PESSOAL DE ENSINO SUPERIOR<br>Este trabalho tem como objetivo analisar a importância da localidade da cultura na apropriação da comunicação publicitária global e a maneira com que se dá a recepção da mensagem à luz de novas referências culturais mundializadas. A abordagem ao tema é feita a partir de uma visão histórica do consumo e da análise da publicidade como ferramenta de afirmação dos valores culturais por meio da divulgação para aquisição, posse e uso dos bens. Para traçar este caminho, foram utilizados teóricos das ciências sociais e da comunicação que

Thesis: Ph.

First, we consider tilings of a hexagon by rombi, viewed as 3D random stepped surfaces with a measure proportional to q-volume. Such model is closely related to q-Hahn orthogonal polynomial ensembles, and we use this connection to obtain results about the local behavior of this model. In terms of the q-Hahn ort

Thesis: M. Eng., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, 2014.<br>Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.<br>Includes bibliographical references (page 33).<br>Minimax Game Search with alpha-beta pruning can utilize heuristic tables in order to prune more branches and achieve better performance. The tables can be implemented using different memory models: global tables, worker-local tables and processor-local tables. Depending on whether each heuristic table depends on locality in the game tree, a memory model might be more suitable than o

Abstract:
Thesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, 2008.<br>Includes bibliographical references (p. 201-203).<br>This thesis treats several information theoretic problems with a unified geometric approach. The development of this approach was motivated by the challenges encountered while working on these problems, and in turn, the testing of the initial tools to these problems suggested numerous refinements and improvements on the geometric methods. In ergodic probabilistic settings, Sanov's theorem gives asymptotic estimates on the pr

Abstract:
A 36 month ethnographic study of a research clinic with a combined role of disease management, included non participant observation of clinic routines, neurological consultations, motor and cognitive research testing of patients, plus interviews with patients, carers, clinicians, researchers and others associated with the clinic. A 'shift' of Huntington's disease into neurology was observed plus standardisation of research activities on an international scale. The clinic acts as a recruitment site for other experimental research. Research questions were - does a neurological instead of genetic
