In our approach to understanding the biomechanics of concussions, we have defined head impact exposure as a multifactorial term that includes the frequency, magnitude, and …
Chapter 1 investigates the role of group procurement in targeting a distributional program. Food security programs in developing countries often provide transfers in the form …
Throughout the years, there have been many subconvexity results of L-functions. However, most of these results focus on one chosen aspect of the L-function. This …
Upon hypervelocity impact, projectile and target materials are frequently shocked to pressures and temperatures sufficient to induce complete vaporization. Vaporization associated with impacting comets and …
Studying the biological mechanisms of the aging process in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster has been crucial to the advancement of the field. In particular, …
Gliomas are a family of extremely aggressive brain cancers, which, despite current treatment options, have poor prognoses. There are distinct subtypes of gliomas, and accurately …
Ownership of photographic depictions was as contentious in the nineteenth century as it is today. In 1852, a photography journal queried: “Why is it that …
Nitrogen oxides (NOx=NO+NO2) play a key role in atmospheric chemistry, contributing to production of ground-level ozone, aerosol chemistry, and acid deposition through the conversion to …
In polities headed by divine kings, the public performance of hierarchy and inequality is essential to political power. Yet what happens to that inequality when …
Lagrangian data assimilation is the process of estimating a velocity flow field, given observations of the locations of passive drifters whose trajectories are determined by …
For decades we have known that the medial temporal lobe (MTL), particularly the hippocampus, plays a critical role in the formation of episodic and spatial …
We study a general class of mean field interacting particle systems with a finite state space. Particles evolve as exchangeable jump Markov processes, where finite …
The water wave equations describe the motion of an incompressible inviscid fluid under the influence of gravity which is bounded above by a free surface …
Auditory and visual information interact in the brain to produce a wide variety of behavioral and cognitive phenomena, however much is unknown about the mechanisms …
We are often told that ours is a “late” age. Lateness—as in the “late work” or “late capitalism”—simultaneously suggests something that has survived beyond its …
Seismic anisotropy in olivine and orthopyroxene mineral crystals enables us to infer first-order flow characteristics in the asthenospheric mantle and the preserved tectonic history in …
We study the moduli stacks of logarithmic stable maps when the target variety X is equipped with an action of a one-dimensional torus C*. Specifically, …
