Full textAbstract:
Let (M, g) be a closed n-dimensional Riemannian manifold with metric g and Laplace-Beltrami operator Delta. Let 0 = l20 < l21 < ... be the eigenvalues of Delta. For the spectral counting function N(t) = #{j, lambda j ≤ t}, we give a detailed proof of Hormander's theorem states that: Nt=vol BnvolM 2pn tn/2+Ot n-1/2, where vol(Bn) is the volume of the n-dimensional unit ball and by O(t(n -1)/2) we mean a term which grows no faster than Ct (n-1)/2 as t tends to infinity. O(t (n-1)/2) is the sharp error term estimate in Weyl's law. (Actually we get the estimate of O(t(n -1)/m) for a differential operator of order m). We also obtain an off diagonal estimate for the remainder term is a generalization of Weyl's law.

Full textAbstract:
Dynamic response of materials to high-speed and high-intensity loading conditions is important in several applications including high-speed flows with droplets, bubbles and particles, and hyper-velocity impact and penetration processes. In such high-pressure physics problems, simulations encounter challenges associated with the treatment of material interfaces, particularly when strong nonlinear waves like shock and detonation waves impinge upon them. To simulate such complicated interfacial dynamics problems, a fixed Cartesian grid approach in conjunction with levelset interface tracking is attractive. In this regard, a sharp interface Cartesian grid-based, Ghost Fluid Method (GFM) is developed for resolving embedded fluid, elasto-plastic solid and rigid (solid) objects in hyper-velocity impact and high-intensity shock loaded environment. The embedded boundaries are tracked and represented by virtue of the level set interface tracking technique. The evolving multi-material interface and the flow are coupled by meticulously enforcing the boundary conditions and jump relations at the interface. In addition, a tree-based Local Mesh Refinement scheme is employed to efficiently resolve the desired physics. The framework developed is generic and is applicable to interfaces separating a wide range of materials and for a broad spectrum of speeds of interaction (O(km/s)). The wide repertoire of problems solved in this work demonstrates the flexibility, stability and robustness of the method in accurately capturing the dynamics of the embedded interface. Shocks interacting with large ensembles of particles are also computed.

Full textAbstract:
Trenden inom systemutveckling och programutveckling går mot ett mer användande av multi programmeringsparadigmer. Funktionell programmering har fått mer uppmärksamhet på senare tid och utvecklingen tycks över lag gå än mer åt det deklarativa hållet där programmeraren fokuserar mer på vad som skall utföras och inte lika mycket på hur. Under en tid har det objektorienterade paradigmet varit dominerande, kommer det vara så i framtiden? Funktionell programmering skiljer sig från imperativ programmering, speciellt i abstraktionsnivå. Microsoft har implementerat programmeringsspråket F# i Visual Studio 2010. F# är ett funktionellt programmeringsspråk som även stödjer objektorienterad och imperativ programmering. Kan F# få funktionell programmering som paradigm att växa? Kommer F# få något genomslag i programmeringsvärlden? Genom att höra experter och företags åsikter vill vi framställa en prognos för F#. Vi vill ta reda på vad erfarna programmerare tycker om F# och vad de tror om framtiden. Att förutsäga framtiden är något som är väldigt svårt, om inte omöjligt. Prognoser stämmer således nästan aldrig. Det kan dock fortfarande vara av värde och frambringa olika effekter på utvecklingen. Resultaten av vår undersökning pekar på en ljus framtid för F# som programmeringsspråk och funktionell programmering som paradigm. F# är ett populärt språk, bland dem som provat på det och kan effektivisera verksamheten för många företag. I denna skrift undersöker vi F# som språk - med några av dess mest ansett användbara aspekter - och funktionell programmering i allmänhet.The trend in systems- and program-development has changed direction towards an increase in the usage of multi-programming paradigms. The attention put on Functional programming have increased lately and the development seems to move towards a more declarative style, where the programmer focuses more on how something should be done, than on what should be done. For awhile now, the objectoriented paradigm have been the dominant programming paradigm, but will this hold in the future? Functional programming differs from imperative programming, especially on the abstract level. Microsoft has implemented the programming language F# in Visual Studio 2010. F# is a functional programming language that also supports both objectoriented and imperative programming. Will F# cause the functional programming paradigm to grow? Will F# cause some sort of impact upon the programming world? By listening to the views of experts and businessmen alike we want to implement a prognosis about the future of F#. We want to know what experienced programmers think about F# and its future. Although, predicting the future is hard, if not impossible. Even though future predictions often are wrong, they can still bring forth important views and aspects, effecting the development, evolution or view on the target for the prediction. The result of our research points to a bright future for F# as a programming language and function programming as a paradigm. F# is a very popular language amongst those that have tried it and it has the possibility to streamline the operations in many businesses. In this paper we investigate F# as a language – with some of it's most useful aspects – and functional programming in general.

Full textAbstract:
This study develops a theoretical framework for the concept of sharp power and applies it on the case of TikTok to gain an understanding of how China can use sharp power through TikTok. The first research question refers to how sharp power can be conceptualized and what its key components are. The second question refers to what extent China uses sharp power through TikTok. This study used a case study as a method to answer the research questions. The key components of sharp power are manipulation, censorship, propaganda, control, and influence. The result shows that China has the ability to use TikTok in its exercise of political power, meaning that they can manipulate, censor, propagate, control, and influence through the app if they want to. One of the conclusions is that the connection between the Chinese government and TikTok is clear, but it was difficult to show a direct link based on the key components of sharp power applied to the empirical material.

Full textAbstract:
L’argomento della tesi è una disuguaglianza Lp per trasformate di martingala. La trasformata di una martingala Xn si ottiene moltiplicando le sue differenze per una sequenza prevedibile Hn, ottenendo così la sequenza delle differenze della martingala trasformata (H · X)n.
E’ interessante che siano state identificate le stime esatte in Lp per queste trasformate. Nella presente tesi si discuterà sulla tecnica di dimostrazione, dovuta al
probabilista Burkholder. Questa si sviluppa due parti: (i) la prova della disuguaglianza tramite una "funzione di Bellman" a due variabili con determinate proprietà e (ii) la prova dell’esistenza di tale funzione, che viene costruita esplicitamente. Ciò che è sorprendente è che Burkholder sia stato in grado di individuarla.
La ricerca si è successivamente ampliata ad altre disuguaglianze, con applicazioni a vari problemi di analisi stocastica, generalizzando i risultati e le idee di Burkholder in differenti contesti. Si tratta di un campo di ricerca corrente in continuo sviluppo.

The thesis provides answers, in one case partial and in the other final, to two conjectures in the area of weighted inequalities for Singular Integral Operators. We study the mapping properties of these operators in weighted Lebesgue spaces with weight w. The novelty of this thesis resides in proving sharp dependence of the operator norm on the Muckenhoupt constant associated to the weigth w for a rich class of Singular Integral operators. The thesis also addresses the end point case p=1, providing counterexamples for the dyadic and continuous settings.

Sharp crested rectangular weirs used for discharge measurement
purposes in open channel hydraulics are investigated experimentally. A series
of experiments were conducted by measuring discharge and head over the
weir for different weir heights for full width weir. It is seen that after a certain
weir height, head and discharge relation does not change. Hence a constant
weir height is determined. For that heightdischarge and head over the weir are measured for variable weir width, starting from the full width weir to slit weir. Description of the discharge coefficient valid for the full range of weir widths and an empirical expression involving dimensionless flow variables is aimed. Experimental data obtained for this purpose and the results of the regression analysis performed are represented.

Full textAbstract:
This study is an experimental research to formulate the discharge over sharp-crested rectangular weirs. Firstly, a series of measurements on different weir heights were conducted to find the minimum weir height for which channel bed friction has no effect on discharge capacity. After determining the appropriate weir height, weir width was reduced to collect data on discharge-water head over weir relationship for a variety of different weir openings. Then, the data was analyzed through regression analysis along with utilization of global optimization technique to reach the desired formulation for the discharge. By taking advantage of a newly-introduced &ldquoweir velocity&rdquo
concept, a simple function was eventually detected for the discharge where no discharge coefficient was involved. The behavior of the weir velocity function obtained in the present study illustrates the transition between the fully contracted and partially contracted weirs. In addition, the proposed weir velocity formulation is simple and robust to calculate the discharge for full range of weir widths.

Full textAbstract:
Computer graphics applications call for various mesh generation techniques to visualize objects, store shape data, perform numerical analyses, etc. Mesh generation is also a fundamental research topic in many other engineering areas related to physical models described by partial differential equations. The reason that meshed surfaces are preferred over spline surfaces in many engineering applications is its flexibility in handling complex objects, while sharp features and boundaries can be represented without trimming, which is highly desired in numerical simulations.
In this thesis, we study two methods for generating meshes with sharp features. Sharp features, such as creases and corners, are very common in mechanical objects. Hence effectively handling sharp features is of great importance to this kind of objects.
The first method is to generate triangular subdivision surfaces with sharp features. Although there have been various methods to fit subdivision surfaces to different types of shape data, e.g., dense meshes and point clouds, none of these methods can handle sharp features effectively. We present a new exact evaluation scheme for all types of sharp features in Loop subdivision, and integrate the new evaluation scheme into the optimization framework to fit Loop subdivision surfaces to dense meshes.
The second method is to generate quadrilateral meshes with varying element sizes which observe the user requirement. This method is inspired by the idea of spectral quadrangulation, but existing spectral quadrangulation methods are limited to closed surfaces due to its lack of proper boundary treatment. We present a new set of boundary conditions, and introduce the Quasi-Eigenfunction to assist the mesh generation process. The proposed boundary treatment is further applied to sharp features to handle mechanical objects. The quasi-eigenfunction based quadrangulation framework is also extended to 3D volumetric domain to generate hexahedral meshes.
Experimental results and comparisons with existing methods are presented in each chapter to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.published_or_final_version

Full textAbstract:
This thesis investigates the fast-reaction limit for a one dimensional reaction-diffusion system describing the penetration of the carbonation reaction in concrete. Three conceptually different scaling regimes of the effective diffusivities of the driving chemical species are explored using matched asymptotics. The limiting models include one-phase and two-phase generalised Stefan moving boundary problems as well as a nonstandard two-scale (micro-macro) moving boundary problem. These sharp interface models are studied to uncover the mechanisms at the free boundary. A power law for the concentration of the chemical species at the interface is derived, as well as the large and small time asymptotic behaviour of the free boundary and the concentration profiles. Numerical results, supporting the analytical results, are presented throughout this thesis, including the application of the method of lines to solve the limiting Stefan problems. To conclude, numerical illustrations of different two-dimensional geometries are included.

Full textAbstract:
The Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope (Fermi) has focused the intensive multi-wavelength and international observational effort on blazars since it was launched in 2008. Part of this effort involves systematic monitoring of the highly variable polarization of the continuum emission from these objects. These observations are valuable in that they provide direct information on the degree of ordering and orientation on the sky of the magnetic field within the non-thermal emission region(s). Unfortunately, it is not yet possible to measure the polarization of the inverse-Compton continuum, only that of the lower-energy synchrotron emission. The inability to directly compare the polarization of the two dominant continuum sources in blazars is a drawback and leads to more ambiguities in determining their relative locations. There are many compelling examples of strong connections between -ray, X-ray, UV/optical/IR, and radio behavior in blazars that suggest the same region produces much of the observed emission at all wavelengths at least some of the time. However, the wealth of polarization behavior seen relative to flux changes invariably results in a complex situation that is difficult to interpret and model. The long-term blazar monitoring program undertaken at Steward Observatory is designed to primarily obtain accurate optical polarimetry of -ray-bright blazars during the Fermi mission with the goal of gaining important insights into the jet structure and physics of these objects. Data from this program are available to all researchers as soon as reductions are completed. I briefly detail the current status and progress of the program and the data products available. Although the wide variety of polarization behavior in blazars adds another layer of complexity to an already difficult problem, I summarize several important conclusions that can be drawn from the polarization information gathered during the Fermi era.

Full textAbstract:
Precise regularity estimates on diffusion semigroups are more than a mere theoretical curiosity. They play a fundamental role in deducing sharp error bounds for higher-order particle methods. In this thesis error bounds which are of consequence in iterated applications of Wiener space cubature (Lyons and Victoir [29]) and a related higher-order method by Kusuoka [21] are considered. Regularity properties for a wide range of diffusion semigroups are deduced. In particular, semigroups corresponding to solutions of stochastic differential equations (SDEs) with non-smooth and degenerate coefficients. Precise derivative bounds for these semigroups are derived as functions of time, and are obtained under a condition, known as the UFG condition, which is much weaker than Hormander's criterion for hypoellipticity. Moreover, very relaxed differentiability assumptions on the coefficients are imposed. Proofs of exact error bounds for the associated higher-order particle methods are deduced, where no such source already exists. In later chapters, a local version of the UFG condition - `the LFG condition' - is introduced and is used to obtain local gradient bounds and local smoothness properties of the semigroup. The condition's generality is demonstrated. In later chapters, it is shown that the V0 condition, proposed by Crisan and Ghazali [8], may be completely relaxed. Sobolev-type gradient bounds are established for the semigroup under very general differentiability assumptions of the vector fields. The problem of considering regularity properties for a semigroup which has been perturbed by a potential, and a Langrangian term are also considered. These prove important in the final chapter, in which we discuss existence and uniqueness of solutions to the Cauchy problem.

Full textAbstract:
The design of rural interchanges is of critical concern due to the need for the safe transition of vehicles from one high speed roadways to another and vice versa. This transition is accomplished by entry and exit ramps of various forms. The southbound entry loop ramp at the US 27/ US 192 trumpet interchange in Polk County, Florida does not provide such safe transition since historically there has been a high incidence of vehicular off-tracking. The geometry of the southbound entry ramp coupled with high approach speeds are two of the contributing factors. Due to the high cost of interchange modification and ramp realignment, one approach to increasing safety at the interchange is to decrease approach speeds (assumes that speed is a surrogate measure of safety) utilizing a Dynamic Speed Monitoring (DSM) system. The objective of this thesis was to test the effectiveness of such a DSM system at reducing vehicle speeds at the rural US 27/ US 192 trumpet interchange in Polk County, Florida. The system tested was a solar powered, radar based, wireless speed warning system which potentially could be used at traffic locations where it is difficult to secure power and to extended wires. The Measures of Effectiveness (MOEs) for the system were the reduction in mean and variance of speed along with the proportion of vehicles in the higher speed ranges after system implementation. This thesis describes the testing of the DSM effectiveness and involves the documentation of the experiments conducted, the data collected and the analysis of the results. Speed data was collected Before and After installation of the DSM system at two points preceding the southbound entry ramp. Approach speeds were collected at a point 250 feet in advance of the southbound entry ramp curve (also the detection zone of the DSM system radar) and PC speeds were collected at the Point of Curve of southbound entry ramp. Various data sets were analyzed in order to ascertain the systems effectiveness during the day and night, weekdays and weekends, various time periods during the day, and within various speed ranges. The Approach and PC data analysis indicated that the DSM system significantly (at the 95% confidence level) reduced speed mean and variance and increased speed limit/ advisory speed compliance. The Approach mean speed was reduced by 3.58 mph and the PC mean speed was reduced by 1.57 mph. The Approach speed variance was reduced by 3.34 and the PC speed variance was reduced by 0.70 mph. Approach speed limit compliance was increased by 22.27% and PC advisory speed (35 mph) + 5 mph compliance was increased by 11.56% (it was apparent that motorist were utilizing speeds above the advisory speed to navigate the curve). In general, the effectiveness of the DSM system was diminished on weekends as well as during the late night and early morning (12 AM to 7 AM) time periods. This suggested that when there were lower volumes and when motorists' perceived that speed limit enforcement was not as likely, the DSM system effectiveness was reduced. The DSM system resulted in a reduction in the percentage of vehicles utilizing the higher speed ranges (> 45 mph). There was a 62% average reduction in the vehicles that utilized the speed ranges above 57 mph for the Approach data and there was a 36% average reduction in the vehicles that utilized the speed ranges above 45 mph for the PC data. The DSM system resulted in a shift in the distribution of speeds from the higher speed bins to the lower speed bins Before and After installation.M.S.

Full textAbstract:
The field of proteomics is exploding with statistical problems waiting to be explored. To obtain information on protein complexes, interactions between protein pairs is initially examined. This exploration is performed using `bait-prey' protein pull-down assays that use a protein affinity agent and an LC-MS/MS (liquid chromatography-tandem mass-spectrometry)-based protein identifcation method. An experiment generates a protein association matrix wherein each column represents a sample from one bait protein, each row represents one prey protein and each cell contains a presence/absence association indicator. The prey protein presence/absence pattern is assessed with a Likelihood Ratio Test (LRT) and simulated LRT p-values. Fisher's Exact Test and a conditional frequency distribution test using generating functions are also used to assess the prey protein observation pattern. Based on the p-value, each prey protein is assigned a category (Specific or Non-Specific) and appraised with respect to the goal and design of the experiment. The Bayes' Odds is calculated for each prey-bait pair in the `Specific' category to estimate the posterior probability that two proteins interact and compared to an approach used by Gilchrist et al. [23]. The method is illustrated using an experiment investigating protein complexes of Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 at the Proteomics Facility of Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL). The example analysis shows the results to be biologically sensible and more realistic than methods previously used to infer protein - protein associations. While inferring protein-protein associations is of great importance in proteomic studies, the quality of the data is of equal or greater importance. Protein-protein interactions may be inferred incorrectly or not at all depending on the quality of the data. Prior to this thesis, statistical quality control measures have not been incorporated into these experiments. The implementation of traditional Individual/Moving Range (IMR) charts and cumulative sum (cusum) quality control methods for use with pull-down experiment data is studied. These methodologies are illustrated using a standard protein mixture from PNNL. The joint application of IMR and cusum charts promises to provide researchers with information on changes in the mean and variability of the data resulting from control samples run through the mass spectrometer process.

Data from the National Injury Mortality Surveillance System (NIMSS) show that homicide is the major cause of death with firearms and sharp objects as the main external causes of death in South Africa. The current study is a descriptive study, describing the epidemiology of sharp object fatalities in the city of East London (also known as Buffalo City) in South Africa. It is a secondary data analysis of mortuary data collected by morticians trained in data collection methods according to World Health Organisation standards. This descriptive study aimed to develop the profile of sharp object fatalities in East London. Most of the findings were consistent with other literature on sharp object violence/homicide and on homicide in general using rates per population denominator data. It also combined variables to arrive at more complex descriptions. The following risk factors were identified: male, between the ages 30-34, being from a disadvantaged population group, alcohol consumption, weekend, between the times 20h00 and 23h59 and if we discount the place of death, &lsquo
unknown&rsquo
then the greatest percentage of deaths occurred in a private house. The results were interpreted within an ecological and contextual theoretical framework to hypothesize possible etiological factors. The conclusion was that there were multiple variables which all interact and influence one another across all ecological levels and as other studies have recommended, this study too also recommends that more work is needed in order to identify the multiple pathways leading to fatalities, perhaps by way of multivariate studies as well as qualitative studies with perpetrators of sharp object fatalities.

This thesis battles with the question on how we can create peace and solve conflicts withoutthe use of violence. It mixes the academic disciplines of peace and conflict, sociology and thestudy of human rights. Using the theories concerning conflict and conflict resolution of JohanGaltung and the theories of strategic nonviolence of Gene Sharp the tools of creating peace bynonviolence is crafted in a comparative study. Then, by conducting hypothetical experimentswithin the conflict of Western Sahara using the tools the conclusion is reached. Differentaspects of violence, peace and power is discussed and analyzed and different weaknesses andstrengths of nonviolent strategies is scrutinized. Finally the different subjects are put togetherin a discussion of what it takes to create peace by nonviolent means. What are the costs ofpeace, what to we have to be willing to pay to solve conflicts, what should our ultimate goalbe? The conclusion is perhaps slightly underwhelming but ultimately crucial to understand.There is no shortcuts to peace and there is no quick fix to solving conflicts.Den här uppsatsen behandlar frågan om hur vi kan skapa fred och lösa konflikter med hjälp avickevåldet. Den berör både studier om fred och konflikt, sociologi och mänskliga rättigheter. Ien jämförande studie av Johan Galtungs teorier om fred och konflikt och Gene Sharps teorierom strategiskt ickevåld så skapas verktygen för att stifta fred med ickevåldsliga medel. De härverktygen prövas sedan i hypotetiska experiment i konflikten i Västsahara. Olika aspekter avvåld, fred och makt diskuteras och analyseras. Olika svagheter och styrkor med ickevåldsligastrategier behandlas. Slutligen behandlas dessa olika ämnen i en diskussion kring vad somkrävs för att skapa fred med ickevåldsliga medel. Vad kostar fred, vad behöver vi vara villigaatt betala för att lösa konflikter och vad borde det slutgiltiga målet vara? Slutsatsen ärmåhända underväldigande men likväl avgörande att förstå. Det finns inga genvägar till fredoch det finns ingen snabb metod för att lösa konflikter.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines buoyancy driven steady flows in mouths of sea straits and around coastal protrusions. At high latitudes, the Coriolis force keeps these currents banked against the coast even around relatively sharp re-entrant (convex) corners with radii of curvature that are comparable to the width of the current. On the other hand, if the radius of curvature of the corner is much smaller than the width of the current, the current may leave the coast at the apex of the corner.
A central part of the thesis is the solution of the nonlinear problem of a steady inviscid reduced gravity flow in a wedge, 0<θ<π/a (with a>l/2), around a sharp corner on an f-plane. An exponential upper layer upstream depth profile, h=Hexp(-x/X) (where x and X are the offshore distance and the current width scale, respectively), is combined with conservation of potential vorticity, Bernoulli and transport equations. The resulting nonlinear equations are expanded in a Rossby number ∈=V/fX (where f is the Coriolis parameter and V is the upstream boundary value of velocity). The 0(1) and 0(∈) equations are solved. First, they are simplified via transformations of the transport streamfunction variables: ⍦₀=p⁴ʹ³ and ⍦₁=2p¹ʹ³q. By modifying the results of Bromwich's (1915) and Whipple's (1916) diffraction theory, the 0(1) solution is expressed in a compact integral form, [formula omitted] The 0(∈) contribution q is calculated using an approximate Green's function method. The wedge of an angle 3π/2 (a=2/3) is used as an example to show details of the solution. The results exhibit the relative importance of the centrifugal, Coriolis and pressure gradient forces. Centrifugal upwelling (surfacing) of the interface occurs very close to the apex. For a rounded re-entrant corner, the upwelling is important only if the radius of curvature is much smaller than the lateral scale X. liorever, for re-entrant corners, the flow is supercritical within an arc, whose size depends upon the Rossby number and the angle of the wedge. Using two or more corner solutions, plausible flow streamlines can be generated in more complicated domains, as long as no two corners are closer than the Rossby radius of deformation. This procedure is illustrated with two examples: (a) circulation in a channel mouth and (b) flow around a square bump in a coastline. Finally, baroclinic circulation is modeled for boundaries that approximate coastlines near the mouth of Hudson Strait.Science, Faculty of
