This dissertation presents a search for dark matter particles produced in association with a Z boson in proton-proton collisions. The dataset consists of 139 fb^{-1} of collision events with centre-of-mass energy of 13 ...
Oscillating-foil hydrokinetic turbines have gained interest over the years to extract energy from renewable sources. The influence of the sweep angle on the performance of a fully-passive oscillating-plate hydrokinetic ...
In this dissertation electrochemical nickel oxide formation in alkaline solution and the electro-oxidation of glycerol on polycrystalline electrodes are studied as a function of temperature. This is done using electrochemical ...
Poetry clubs composed of gentry women began to emerge during the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. The earliest female poetry clubs in this period were all kinship-based and organized within gentry families. This phenomenon ...
Developer discussions range from in-person hallway chats to comment chains on bug reports. Being able to identify discussions that touch on software design would be helpful in documentation and refactoring software. Design ...
Stochastic model predictive control (MPC) is a fascinating field for research and of increasing practical importance since optimal control techniques have been intensively investigated in modern control system design. ...
Coral reefs around the world are threatened by a variety of sources, from localized impacts, including overfishing and coastal development, to global temperature increases and ocean acidification. Conserving these marine ...
Collaborating in the Electric Age: [onto]Riffological Experiments in Posthumanizing
Education and Theorizing a Machinic Arts-Based Research is a study about locating
opportunities and entry points for introducing ...
The bathypelagic copepods Spinocalanus brevicaudatus, Scaphocalanus brevicornis and Heterorhabdus tanneri have established relatively large, permanent breeding populations in Bute and Jervis Inlet, British Columbia. They ...
In this study, I have analyzed the poems from the Corpus Sulpicianum (3.8–3.18) as the creation of a single author, Sulpicia. My argument in favour of the uniformity of the cycle is based on the consistency of the authorial ...
The Romantic era, from roughly the middle of the eighteenth century to the middle of the nineteenth century, was a period of rapid and revolutionary social change. Progressing in parallel was the form of the novel, which ...
Drawing on insights from recent ethnographic and ethnohistorical studies of bureaucracy by scholars such as Akhil Gupta and Ann-Laura Stoler, this dissertation turns the ethnohistorical lens back upon the colonial state ...
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurological condition typically diagnosed in early adulthood that often requires lifelong treatment for symptom management. Despite pharmacological treatment, many individuals with MS ...
The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively affected everyone in the world, however the phenomenon of growth following intense suffering has been well-documented over the past few decades (e.g., Tedeschi et al., 2018). Less ...
Understanding how diffuse molecular clouds at large scales (~10 pc) assemble mass into dense, star-forming cores at small scales (~ 0.1 pc) is crucial to building a holistic theory of star formation. While recent observations ...
The degree to which Nazi Germany and the other Axis powers can be understood within the framework of the European nineteenth century colonial/imperial projects has, in recent years, been a controversial topic in historiography. ...
Advanced computer technologies can transform the traditional electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring system for better efficiency and accuracy. ECG records a heart's electrical activity using electrodes placed on the skin, and ...
Enterprising technologies and policies that focus on energy reduction in buildings are paramount to achieving global carbon emissions targets. Energy retrofits, building stock modelling, heating, ventilation, and air ...
Combinatorial optimization problems on the graph with real-life applications are canonical challenges in Computer Science. The difficulty of finding quality labels for problem instances holds back leveraging supervised ...
In the context of growing availability of data, Time Series are essential for extracting and understanding the evolution of underlying natural, artificial, social or economic phenomena. The related literature has extensively ...
