We define a category of smooth 1-motives with torsion over a locally noetherian base scheme and prove its Cartier duality. More precisely, we prove that …
In condensed matter physics the vortex lattice of type-II superconductors provides a prototype for studying the effect of random pinning on elastic systems. One important …
Morphogen activity gradients assign positional information within fields of cells in a concentration-dependent manner. As transcriptional changes respond to signaling activity thresholds, cells must encounter …
Roudnice monastery in the Kingdom of Bohemia has fascinated scholars due to two facts regarding its cultural context; first, the Prague bishop Jan IV of …
In 1990, Thurston proved that for any two-dimensional simply connected region, the space of tilings is flip-connected. Later, Yamzon reproved this result using a commutative …
In June 1941, a Central Press wire story declared, “The latest and strangest recruit in Uncle Sam’s defense line-up is—the museum!” The release quoted the …
Prokaryotic microbes, commonly termed bacteria, are essential components of the ecosystem in the open ocean. They are major primary producers, major diazotrophs that fix dinitrogen …
Despite the fact that the human genome was sequenced ten years ago, there exists no database of cis-regulatory architecture that is validated conclusively by rigorous …
A Deeper Science explores how novelist Richard Wright and psychiatrist Fredric Wertham, along with an interracial group of intellectuals, doctors, clergy, and artists, attempted to …
This dissertation demonstrates how a transnational conception of poor people as 'backwards' and culturally distinct emerged from the nexus of intellectuals, activists, and administrators who …
My dissertation investigates connections between the family sphere and politics during the rise of Algerian nationalism through the French-Algerian War (1954-1962). Specifically, it examines ways …
Recent increases in the incidence of congenital (hypospadias, cryptorchidism) and adult-onset (testis germ cell cancer, lowered sperm counts) diseases of the male reproductive tract are …
Harmonic analysis is an artform of understanding how mathematical objects behave. In this thesis, we develop a framework for understanding Calder\'on-Zygmund Singular Integral Operators (CZOs), …
With the phrases “artificial intelligence” and “Deep Learning” surfacing in the news alongside projections of rampant automation, this paper aims to explore Deep Learning in …
This thesis concerns the formulation and derivation of a generalization of a collection of basis functions originally devised by Norbert Wiener for function approximation over …
A few short decades ago, working class communities, communities of color, and immigrant communities thrived in neighborhoods abutting Brown University’s campus on the East Side …
The DNA base excision repair (BER) pathway is compromised of several enzymes, including DNA glycosylases, apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) endonuclease 1 (APE1), DNA polymerase β (pol β) …
