▼ Non-negativity of the impulse response of a system (a.k.a. a monotonic step response system) is a widely required feature in many industrial applications. Although the importance of this feature has long been acknowledged, an in-depth understanding of the influence of this feature on the time and frequency domains is still not available. The problem of designing a high-performance filter with a non-negative impulse response (NNIR) therefore remains unsolved. This dissertation provides some studies on the influence of the NNIR feature on both the time and frequency domains. The problem is approached from two angles: (1) Restrictions on the frequency domain response imposed by a non-negative impulse response; (2) The pole-zero pattern of a transfer function that ensures a non-negative impulse response. In characterizing the frequency domain response of a linear NNIR system, it is found that due to the non-negativity constraint in the time-domain, the frequency domain has some unique fundamental properties that a conventional linear system does not possess. The significance of these fundamental properties is discussed. As a result, the gains at frequencies along the frequency axis are found to be related to each other inherently. Upper/lower bounds on the magnitude response within critical regions (frequency regions within which hard specifications are given) are derived. Based on these bounds, limitations in the frequency selectivity of various types of filters are analyzed and illustrated. The results explain the difficulties associated with non-negative impulse response filter design for systems other than lowpass filters. An approximation-based approach is presented for designing high-performance non-negative finite impulse response (NNFIR) lowpass filters, while NNFIR non-lowpass filters of various types can be obtained from a lowpass design via proposed transformations that preserve the NNIR feature. In exploring pole-zero patterns, this dissertation presents a set of sufficient conditions that ensure the non-negativity of the impulse response for several classes of <i>arbitrary-order</i> transfer functions. Such conditions are given for both continuous-time and discrete-time systems. Most of the existing work can be classified as a special case of these sufficient conditions. Also, for an arbitrary-order discrete-time system with complex poles and zeros, this dissertation presents a new set of sufficient conditions that ensures the non-negativity of its impulse response. With these sufficient conditions, the class of zero-pole patterns known to exhibit a non-negative impulse response is significantly expanded.

▼ Anthropogenic alterations to the global nitrogen (N) cycle have doubled reactive N flux into the biosphere and altered aquatic ecosystem function. Streams modify N loads carried to coastal ecosystems by converting N to organic forms or removing it as gaseous N. Understanding how streams transform N can offer insight to ecologists and land managers about how stream ecosystems function under elevated N loads. I researched how anthropogenic and landscape factors affect N transformations by studying streams in two distinct biomes and at multiple spatial scales. At the landscape scale, I studied N concentrations in streams draining the Teton Range (Wyoming, USA), a sub-alpine and alpine ecosystem with variable lithology. Streams draining crystalline geology had higher N compared to streams draining carbonate geology, which had more vegetation, suggesting that lithology mediated patterns in vegetation and terrestrial N retention. At the reach scale, I studied how land use influenced N uptake and transformation in Midwestern streams (Michigan, USA) and found that dissimilatory N transformation rates (i.e., nitrification and denitrification) within streams were not affected by riparian zones, which are commonly used to mitigate water quality degradation. Dissimilatory N transformation rates were always < 10% of whole-stream N uptake and nitrification rates balanced denitrification rates, implying that denitrification did not represent net N loss from the water column. At the substratum scale, sediment organic carbon content correlated with denitrification, but only when nitrate concentration exceeded a threshold. Finally, I returned to the Tetons and found that grazing activity by invasive snails can increase periphyton N fixation rates in a stream with low N concentrations. A synthesis of my findings from high N streams in the Midwest suggests that land-use practices have increased temporary N removal at the expense of permanent N removal. In the low N streams of the Tetons, observations from different spatial scales suggest that landscape factors that lower stream N concentrations and high rates of grazing together can influence the importance of N fixation in streams. My dissertation highlights multiple constraints on N processing in streams and emphasizes that basic ecological research can yield important results for management agencies.

▼ I argue for a reading of the <i>Critique of Pure Reason</i> that addresses several related inadequacies in Kant scholarship. First, I argue that the problem of skepticism with which the <i>Critique</i> is centrally concerned is not the problem of skepticism about the external world or about ordinary knowledge but rather the problem of skepticism about reason. This latter problem of skepticism, I argue, is rooted in the difficulty of providing a philosophical account of the faculty of theoretical reason that preserves its unity while at the same time doing justice to its various intrinsic, but seemingly incompatible aims. Second, I argue that, in order to understand the <i>Critique</i> as responding to this problem, we need to rethink this work as providing not just a metaphysics of experience but also a metaphysics of reason. I provide an account of the nature of theoretical reason that reveals its teleological structure, including the aims both of the understanding and of reason as the highest intellectual faculty. With this account I argue that Kant's positive theory of reason extends beyond the Transcendental Analytic and ultimately into the Antinomy of Pure Reason chapter of the Dialectic, where the problem of skepticism about reason and its eventual solution are fully articulated. Third, I offer a novel reading of Kant’s solution to the Antinomy by showing how Kant’s conception of belief is implicitly at work in it. With this reading I provide a new account of Kant's justification for the doctrine of transcendental idealism, understood metaphysically. That is, I argue that Kant's solution to the Antinomy and his completed account of the metaphysics of reason involves the justified assertion that there exists a non-spatial, non-temporal, unconditioned ground of nature—a thing in itself. My reading of Kant's account of the unity of theoretical reason has implications for Kant's account of the unity of reason as a whole. It shows Kant to have established a much tighter relation between theoretical and practical reason—and, with it, a more sophisticated and comprehensive response to the Enlightenment need for a rationally grounded account of faith—than is generally recognized in the literature.

▼ Throughout the nineteenth century, religious identity, national identity, and domesticity converge in the depiction of broken homes, foreign invaders, and homeless converts which abound in anti-Catholic literature. This literature imagines conversion to Roman or Anglo-Catholicism as simultaneously threatening the English home and the English nation through the adoption of the anti-domestic practices of celibacy and monasticism. However, constructions of conversion as a rejection of domesticity and English identity were not limited to anti-Catholic propaganda: mainstream novelists made use of stock anti-Catholic tropes for rather more complicated purposes. In light of this convergence between religion, nation, and home, this dissertation explores novels by John Henry Newman, Margaret Oliphant, Charlotte Yonge, and Charlotte Brontë in the context of mid-century journal and newspaper articles, court cases, religious tracts and popular anti-Catholic fiction. I argue that in literature concerned with Catholic conversion and the Tractarian movement, the trope of finding a home became a tool for imagining new domestic, religious, and national communities. Victorian constructions of English national identity and domesticity were always mutually constitutive, as domesticity was understood to be one of the identifying markers of "Englishness," while the home served as a microcosm of the nation. At the same time, as recent critics have shown, religious identity was an essential part of English national identity, and anti-Catholic literature used Roman Catholicism as an Other against which to construct a Protestant and domestic English identity. Pro-Catholic or pro-Tractarian novels, on the other hand, often sought to reshape English national identity, incorporating alternative versions of domesticity and alternative conceptions of the role of the church. While religion and domesticity are both firmly connected to national identity, the literature of Roman Catholic or Tractarian conversion was also invested in constructing transnational identities. The concept of Catholicity offered mid-century novelists a means through which to explore the possibility of communities that transcended national and denominational boundaries. From Newman's Catholic cosmopolitanism to Yonge's view of the communion of saints, religious conceptions of the universal allowed mid-century authors a way to construct identities that, while remaining firmly grounded in English identity, also reached beyond it.

▼ Hydrogen sulfide has in the last 15 years been elevated from its previous place as nothing more than a toxic gas to the status of ubiquitous gasotransmitter with numerous physiologic functions. In this thesis the focus is two-fold: whether H₂S functions as a gasotransmitter in blood and whether H₂S could act more locally as an endogenous oxygen sensor. The initial research presented here examines sulfide measurement techniques for biologic samples, and assessed their applicability for use in blood and plasma. It also shows the development of an amperometric means of conducting this research. It was found that the standard protocol for potentiometric measurement of sulfide in plasma is unsuitable for such use. The experimental conditions liberate sulfide from cysteines in plasma proteins, creating artificially high sulfide measurements. Using the methylene blue method we were unable to replicate blood sulfide measurements found in other studies, while showing unequivocally that this method should work in plasma if sulfide is present. The amperometric sensor developed here may be used in real time without altering the sample. Using this method we showed in blood from numerous animals that free H₂S is undetectable in blood and that blood consumes sulfide quite rapidly. The second portion of this research showed that tissues consume endogenously-produced H₂S oxygen-dependently and that the likely location of this consumption is in the mitochondria. The inhibitory level of oxygen was quite low, and the levels of cysteine required to stimulate measurable production were supraphysiologic, thus an attempt was made to develop a means of measuring intracellular sulfide. This was done through sulfide-sensitive Photonic Explorers for Bioanalysis with Biologically Localized Embedding (PEBBLE). PEBBLEs were produced in an organically-modified silica matrix using the sulfide-sensitive fluorescent dye fluorescein mercuric acetate. While the PEBBLEs were sensitive to H₂S and insensitive to cysteine, intracellular production of sulfide was not successfully demonstrated. H₂S may function as an oxygen sensor intracellularly, but it does not circulate in the blood and is unlikely to exist outside of localized pockets within cells due to rapid oxidation. Further work should be done to establish a means of intracellular measurement of H₂S.

▼ This dissertation examines the translational goals of LXX Ezekiel 40-48 in the light of two major developments in textual criticism in the past half-century: (1) the recognition that biblical corpora existed in variant literary editions in antiquity, associated with Eugene Ulrich, among others; and (2) the development of a bifurcated approach to Septuagint studies, in which one camp focuses on the reception-history of the Septuagint while the other focuses on the translator’s translation technique. The adoption of a functional theory of translation sketched by Reiβ and Vermeer (<i>Skopostheorie</i>) helps to mend this rift by focusing on the translator’s goals in rendering his source text for a specific community. Ezekiel 40-48 is seen as an <i> operative</i> text intended to persuade its readers of the truth it communicates. I argue that the translator rendered his source text with attention to its linguistic, grammatical and semantical structures, in a way meant to help his readers understand the Hebrew work (<i>philological</i> translation). The rhetorical effect of this method of of translation stressed the distance and authority of Ezekiel’s culminating prophecy. On the other hand, his task of persuasion compelled the translator to accommodate certain cultural aspects of Ezekiel’s vision to the Hellenistic tastes of his target readership, especially concerning architecture and proselytism. Despite this accommodation, I find no evidence for the actualizing exegesis sometimes discovered in LXX Ezekiel 40-48. Study of the translator’s method of rendering his source text suggests that pluses are to be attributed to the translator’s source text and not his own intervention unless suggested by weighty evidence. Based on this principle, analysis of the <i>Vorlage</i> of LXX Ezekiel 40-48 concludes that it preserves numerous secondary readings that harmonize Ezekiel’s final vision with his earlier ones and thereby interpret Ezekiel in terms of the prophet’s unique theology. This interpretation stands in contrast to the canonical interpretation of MT Ezekiel described by Jake Stromberg. On the other hand, a number of modernizing supplements bring the Hebrew text of Ezekiel 40-48 into conversation with developing Palestinian merkabah traditions (LXX Ezek 43:2-3) and the architecture of the Second Temple (LXX Ezek 40:38-40). Further study will be needed to determine how the generally shorter and earlier <i> Vorlage</i> of LXX Ezekiel 1-39 is to be related to the fuller and later <i> Vorlage</i> of LXX Ezekiel 40-48, but the minimum conclusion that can be drawn is that the LXX <i>Vorlage</i> of these chapters was the focus of intensive study in the last few centuries B.C.E.

▼ What are the key factors that determine ombudsman effectiveness in fragile democracies? Can a human rights ombudsman be effective at all without sanctioning powers in a context of institutional weakness? This dissertation addresses these fundamental questions. Instead of simply assuming the independence of ombudsman head officers based on the autonomy formally accorded to them in their respective constitutions and laws, this study analyzes and measures the actual behavioral independence demonstrated by the individuals that have served as ombudsman chief officers since the creation of the agency in Bolivia, Ecuador and Peru. This dissertation’s most important theoretical contribution to the field of comparative politics and to Latin American politics is that formal institutional arrangements did not explain the significant degrees of variance in effectiveness and in behavioral independence of ombudsman chief officers. My research shows instead that the ombudsman head officer’s political independence with relation to the government is the key to the perception of ombudsman effectiveness. While ombudsman head officers in Ecuador have relatively higher legal attributions, they were not willing to use such attributions because of fear of informal sanctions, specially the stagnation, reduction or even termination of public funding and/or removal from office. My findings pointed at the great significance of ombudsman head officers’ political independence in relation to the government and the political forces in Congress. The human rights ombudsman must be perceived as an impartial agency if it is to be effective. The support of the international donor community is another necessary condition when ombudsman funding is decided by the Executive. The additional funding provided by international agencies allowed ombudsman head officers in Bolivia and Peru to build a relative financial autonomy vis à vis the Executive. This study also shows that while having enough funding is obviously important, the source of the funding is more important than the total amount allocated, because it is the source of the funding what strengthens the chief officer’s independence with relation to the government.

▼ As robotic technology moves out of factories and into broader segments of society, it promises to support a revolutionary improvement in the general standard of living. One of the largest hurdles to this increased use of robotic technology, however, is the inability of current mobile robots to negotiate difficult and delicate terrain in ways that are fast, efficient, and safe. Examples in nature demonstrate the incredible potential of legged locomotion to fill this need, but legged robots have not yet reached this level of performance. This work moves the field toward a better understanding of the design of robust and efficient legged robots by exploring the concept of reaction wheel actuation. This concept consists of the generation of torques on the robot's body via a high efficiency reaction wheel system (RWS), which operates by accelerating an internal reaction mass. These torques can be used to both improve the stability of the robot and increase its walking efficiency when used in a coordinated manner. Due to the complex multi-body dynamics of these systems, the effect of design changes on a given performance metric are difficult to estimate. Full body trajectory optimization via direct transcription was employed as the primary tool to better understand the role that an RWS can play in bipedal locomotion. The five-link planar biped ERNIE was used as a basis for this analysis. Combined with a model of motor and gear losses, this allowed energetic comparisons between a baseline ERNIE model and hypothetical RWS-equipped versions. This showed for the first time that a correctly designed RWS, requiring only a modestly sized reaction wheel and a motor with minimal gear loss, can lead to improved walking efficiency. Extensive optimization over the full operational walking range showed that a reasonably sized RWS with realistic levels of regenerative efficiency can improve walking efficiency by 5-10% over most gaits. Comparison of resulting gaits revealed that optimal RWS use leads to better centroidal momentum regulation, which in turn reduces loads on joint motors in the legs. Simulations of the ERNIE model under virtual constraint control verified these results. For validation, an experimental reaction wheel system was constructed and attached to the ERNIE biped. Walking experiments with ERNIE demonstrated a measurable improvement in walking efficiency for gaits that utilize the RWS, corroborating the results from both optimization and simulation. For periodic walking, optimization results showed that near regions of marginal dynamic feasibility, reaction wheels can lead to much larger efficiency gains than in more typical operating conditions. RWS use also expands the range of dynamically feasible motions. In aperiodic motions such as speed and step length changes, RWS use is similarly beneficial, with significant efficiency gains in very demanding motions and expanded dynamic feasibility. For large, single-step changes of speed, the RWS can improve efficiency by as much as 60%.…

▼ A method for distributed information processing in rectangular grid based wireless sensor networks is presented, employing the Givone-Roesser and the Fornasini-Marchesini state space models for m-D systems. It can be used for distributed implementation of any general linear system on a grid sensor network. The method is highly scalable and requires only communication between immediate neighbors. Usage of finite precision schemes for the representation of numbers and computations introduce nonlinearities to the otherwise linear m-D system models. Nonlinearities caused by fixed point and floating point number representation schemes used for in node computations and inter-node communication are modeled. Stability of the system is analyzed with special consideration given to the influence of inter-node communication on system dynamics. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the global asymptotic stability under both fixed point and floating point arithmetic is derived. It has been shown that the global asymptotic stability of the sensor networks is equivalent to that of a 1-D system for both the cases of fixed point and floating number representation. Issues posed by communication time delay, in real-time implementation of the proposed method, are discussed. It is shown that, in order to implement a real-time sensor network, system matrices of the state space models have to satisfy certain conditions. A necessary and sufficient condition for a transfer function to be realizable in the constrained state space models is established. Realization algorithms to derive state space models of the desired form given an admissible transfer function are also presented. Node and link failure introduce complications not encountered in centralized implementation of m-D systems. Givone-Roesser and the Fornasini-Marchesini state space models are extended to include node and link failure. Necessary and sufficient conditions for mean square stability are then derived with the help of these two state space models. Input output stability of the distributed systems under node and link failure is also discussed. The utility of the proposed method is demonstrated by examples. In particular a distributed Kalman filter is proposed for grid sensor networks. Implementation of the proposed Kalman filter on grid sensor networks is discussed in some detail. A method for contaminant detection and its implementation using the proposed method is also presented.

▼ Aero-optical distortions are detrimental to airborne optical systems. To study distortion mechanisms, compressible large-eddy simulations are performed for a Mach 0.5 turbulent boundary layer and a separated shear layer over a cylindrical turret with and without passive control in the upstream boundary layer. Optical analysis is carried out using ray tracing based on the computed density field and Gladstone-Dale relation. In the flat-plate boundary layer, the effects of aperture size, Reynolds number, small-scale turbulence, different flow regions and beam elevation angle are examined, and the underlying flow physics is analyzed. Three momemtum-thickness Reynolds numbers, <i>Re</i><sub>&thetas;</sub> = 875, 1770 and 3550, are considered. It is found that the level of optical distortions decreases with increasing Reynolds number within the Reynolds number range considered. The contributions from the viscous sublayer and buffer layer are small, while the wake region plays a dominant role followed by the logarithmic layer. By low-pass filtering the fluctuating density field, it is shown that small-scale turbulence is optically inactive. Consistent with previous experimental findings, the distortion magnitude is dependent on the propagation direction due to anisotropy of the boundary-layer vortical structures. Density correlations and length scales are analyzed to understand the elevation-angle dependence and its relation to turbulence structures. The applicability of Sutton's linking equation to boundary-layer flows is examined, and excellent agreement between linking equation predictions and directly integrated distortions is obtained when the density length scale is appropriately defined. The second case studied involves a separated shear layer over a cylindrical turret with a flat window, with inflow from a flat-plate boundary layer with and without passive control devices. The flow and optical results show reasonable agreement with experimental data for the baseline case without control. Aperture size effect, frequency spectra of OPD and two-point spatial correlations of OPD are investigated. The similarities and differences of distortion characteristics compared to those induced by turbulent boundary layers are discussed. The distortions by a separated shear layer are much larger in magnitude and spatially less homogeneous than those induced by an attached boundary layer. It is found that pressure fluctuations are significant and play a dominant role in inducing density fluctuations and associated optical distortions in a separated shear layer, in contrast to the dominant role of temperature fluctuations in a turbulent boundary layer. When passive control is applied using a row of thin and tall pins in the upstream boundary layer, the numerical results confirm key experimental findings. The flow above the optical window is characterized by two distinct shear layers, whose combined effect leads to a significant reduction of density fluctuation magnitude in the main shear layer and associated…

▼ Noise generated by flow over rough surfaces is an important issue in naval applications and in aeronautical engineering. This work numerically investigates roughness-induced noise from low-Mach-number turbulent boundary layers. The computational approach is based on Lighthill's acoustic analogy with acoustic sources obtained from large-eddy simulation. An acoustic formulation is derived, which shows that each roughness element acts as an individual in-plane dipole source strengthened by its image in the wall. Flow configurations investigated include boundary-layer flows over a single hemispherical roughness element, a pair of streamwisely aligned hemispherical elements and three roughness fetches consisting of 10 × 4 hemispherical, cuboidal and cylindrical roughness elements, respectively. Results for a single hemispherical roughness element and a pair of hemispherical elements show that the spanwise dipole, which has been overlooked before, is of larger or similar strength compared to the streamwise dipole. The viscous contribution to the dipoles is negligible compared to the pressure contribution. The main sound sources arise from the impingement of incoming turbulence and the unsteady horse-shoe vortices generated around the element. The roughness-induced unsteady wake motions are unimportant as a source of self noise. However, they significantly enhance sound radiation from a downstream hemisphere. The effects of multi-element interactions and the roughness shape are investigated with arrays of 10 × 4 sparsely distributed hemispheres, cuboids and short cylinders. The dipole strength, orientation and spatial distribution show strong dependence on the roughness shape. Correlations between dipole sources associated with neighboring elements are found to be small for these sparsely distributed roughness arrays. Correlations and coherence between roughness dipoles and surface pressure fluctuations are analyzed, which reveals the importance of the impingement of upstream turbulence and surrounding vortical structures to dipole sound radiation, especially in the streamwise direction. For roughness shapes with sharp frontal edges, the edge-induced unsteady separation and reattachment also play important roles in sound generation. Large-scale turbulent structures in the boundary layer have a relatively low influence on roughness dipoles, except for the first row of elements.

▼ The Water Gas Shift (WGS) reaction can be either thermodynamically or kinetically limited, depending on process conditions. Improved catalysts are of particular interest at low temperatures where kinetic limitations dominate. In this work, density functional theory calculations were performed to calculate the binding energies, reaction energies, and activation barriers for the proposed WGS pathways on Pt and Pd(111). In addition to the previously published pathways, a new reaction involving the concerted formation of the carboxyl intermediate from water and CO is introduced. In general, binding energies and reaction energies are close on both surfaces. However, Pt has lower activation barriers. Since CO is important for WGS, the CO-CO interactions on Pd(111) were studied by the development of a cluster expansion. A cluster expansion is a polynomial function that allows for rapid prediction of the energy if a structure is given. At low coverages, CO adsorbs in HCP Hollow sites. As the CO coverage increases, CO begins to adsorb in FCC Hollow and Atop sites until the saturation coverage of 3/4 ML. Next grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations were performed to determine the coverage-dependent binding energy and temperature programmed desorption spectrum. Finally, a kinetic model was developed to analyze the different WGS reaction pathways, and metals. On both the Pt and Pd surfaces, WGS proceeds through the carboxyl intermediate with water dissociation being the rate determining step, but yields an unfavorably high CO coverage. Next, a coverage dependent binding energy of CO was included in the kinetic model. As the CO binding energy becomes less exothermic, WGS still proceeds through the carboxyl intermediate but carboxyl formation becomes rate determining. Also, the kinetic model shows that Pt is more active than Pd, independent of the CO binding energy. However, the calculated apparent activation barriers and rates do not agree with the experimental results of Pt and Pd supported on γ-Al₂O₃, which suggest that the support plays an active role in catalyzing the WGS reaction. Since the support plays an important role in WGS catalysis, future studies should attempt to understand the promoting effect of the support and the support-metal interaction.

▼ The research of this dissertation addresses two important issues relevant to parameter estimation: maximizing network lifetime (NLT) of distributed wireless sensor networks deployed to estimate and track a common parameter; and carrier-frequency-offset (CFO) estimation in orthogonal frequency-division-multiplexing (OFDM) systems. In practice, the sensor nodes (SNs) of most wireless sensor networks are energy-constrained. To estimate and track a common parameter using such energy-constrained networks, we propose to employ set-membership adaptive filter (SMAF) in each of the SNs. The SMAF updates (thus transmits) parameter estimates only if the magnitude of the estimation error exceeds a predefined threshold, which affects the frequency of updates and the overall estimation performance. This approach renders a nicely formulated trade-off mechanism, resulting in more frugal energy use for SNs, and prolonged NLT. This approach also leads to a solution framework that relates maximizing NLT to network performance, i.e., meeting a performance constraint defined based on the mean-squared-deviation (MSD) of the consensus estimate. The NLT maximization is posed as a constrained optimization problem whose solution yields the optimal error thresholds for the SMAFs that maximize the NLT. The optimal solution is obtained by using an iterative binary search algorithm, which also solves a problem of node selection. The robustness of the proposed solution is investigated with respect to the spatial correlation and the impact of the uncertainty in the knowledge of spatial correlation on the NLT. We also solve NLT maximization for the case of optimum energy with a constraint on total energy. Simulation results using data from real-world applications show that the proposed approach offers substantially prolonged NLT over conventional tracking algorithms such as normalized least mean-squares (NLMS) adaptive filters. The second part of the dissertation focuses on estimating CFO in OFDM systems taking into account power amplifiers (PA) nonlinearity in time-varying multipath fading channels, like those in mobile environments. We derive Cramèr-Rao lower bound (CRLB) and approximate maximum-likelihood-estimators for CFO estimation in the static and time-varying channel scenarios. Analysis and simulation reveal that Doppler fading introduces a floor on the accuracy of CFO estimation. We then study the impact of PA nonlinearity on the accuracy of CFO estimation and present the modified CRLBs for the same. Performance of an ideal predistortion (PD) scheme is compared to that of a practical PD scheme employing unscented Kalman filter (UKF). Simulation results corroborate our theoretical analysis and prove the efficacy of our proposed PD filter to compensate for nonlinearity.

▼ While the reform of Catholic liturgy that followed the Second Vatican Council by no means rejected Latin as a language of liturgical celebration, the Latin Mass quickly became the province of traditionalist groups that refused to accept the revised Order of Mass and offered the pre-conciliar Tridentine Mass in defiance of the Roman Catholic hierarchy. Nevertheless, there have always been some Catholics who either obtained permission to celebrate the Tridentine Mass or found celebrations of the post-conciliar Mass in Latin that maintained certain practices associated with the pre-conciliar Mass. This dissertation focuses on this latter group of Latin Mass Catholics, who have remained within the bounds of the institutional church and who, since 2007, have had permission to celebrate the Tridentine Mass as an “extraordinary form” of the Mass of the Roman Rite. In particular, this study seeks a better understanding of the motives of contemporary Latin Mass Catholics in America. Critics sometimes view attachment to the Latin Mass as an example of modern Catholicism’s still incomplete liberation from “dead ritual.” Supporters, on the other hand, often valorize the same attachment as a sign of resurgent interest in “the sacred” following Vatican II’s alleged desacralization of the liturgy. As an alternative to both of these positions, this study explains adherence to the Latin Mass as the embodiment of one particular approach to the formation of an “authentic” human subject of liturgical prayer. Personal sincerity and continuity with tradition are both essential to how Latin Mass Catholics evaluate authenticity in liturgical prayer and cultivate authenticity in their own selves. In practice, these modes of authentication are held together by an acquired <i>habitus</i> of “reverence.” An ethnographic account of contemporary adherence to the Latin Mass fleshes out the particular practices associated with this inculcation of reverence. Fieldwork in four Latin Mass communities and interviews with Latin Mass adherents reveal the viability of this approach to liturgical formation. It is argued that the liturgical reform and adherence to the Latin Mass can provide complementary insights into the formation of an authentic human subject of liturgical prayer in the modern world.

▼ This dissertation analyzes the unprecedented eruption of organized criminal violence in Mexico. To understand the dynamics of drug violence, this dissertation addresses three questions. What explains the onset of the war on drugs in Mexico? Once the conflict starts, why does drug violence escalate so rapidly? And lastly, why is there subnational variation in the concentration of violence? Based on a game theoretic model, the central argument indicates that democratization erodes the peaceful configurations between the state and criminal organizations and motivates authorities to fight crime, thus triggering a wave of violence between the state and organized criminals and among rival criminal groups fighting to control strategic territories. In this account, state action is not neutral: law enforcement against a criminal group generates the opportunity for a rival criminal organization to invade its territory, thus leading to violent interactions among rival criminal groups. These dynamics of violence tend to concentrate in territories favorable for the reception, production and distribution of drugs. In this way, the disrupting effect of law enforcement unleashes a massive wave of violence of all-against-all resembling a Hobbesian state of war. To test the observable implications of the theory, the empirical assessment relies on a novel database of geo-referenced daily event data at municipal level providing detailed information on who did what to whom, when and where in the Mexican war on drugs. This database covers all municipalities of the country between 2000 and 2010, thus comprising about 9.8 million observations. The creation of this fine-grained database required the development of <i> Eventus ID</i>, a novel software for automated coding of event data from text in Spanish. The statistical assessment relies on quasi-experimental identification strategies and time-series analysis to overcome problems of causal inference associated with analyzing the distinct - yet overlapping - processes of violence between government authorities and organized criminals and among rival criminal groups. In addition, the statistical analysis is complemented with insights from fieldwork and historical process tracing. Results provide strong support for the empirical implications derived from the theoretical model.

▼ Cytotoxic T cells destroy virally infected cells and tumor cells and are also implicated in transplant rejection. These cells are also known as CD8+ T cells, since they express the CD8 glycoprotein at their surface. The T cell receptor is a molecule found on the surface of T cells that is responsible for recognizing antigens presented by major histocompatability complex (MHC) proteins. MHC proteins are expressed on the surface of cells and display fragments of molecules from invading microbes or dysfunctional cells to the TCR. Here, through the utilization of fluorescence anisotropy, we investigate MHC flexibility when different peptides are bound. The peptides presented by class I MHC HLA-A2 utilized in this study are as follows: Tax 9 (LLFGYPVYV), Tel1p (MLWGYLQYV), ELA (ELAGIGILTV), gp100 T2M (IMDQVPFSV) and Flu M1 (GILGFVFTL). To assess the changes in flexibility, we engineered a series of cysteine mutants in the α1 and α2 helix of the MHC complex. The samples were refolded in the presence of peptide, purified and consequently labeled with Alexa-Fluor 488 (Alexa488) for fluorescence studies. Steady-state fluorescence anisotropy measurements were performed, and we were able to show that the overall flexibility on the α1 and α2 helix regions of the MHC varies dependent on the peptide presented on the MHC complex. Measurements of TCR-pMHC binding equilibrium and kinetic parameters have been obtained through the utilization of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC). Unlike pure solution methods, SPR does not allow for detailed resolution of the kinetic mechanism for the TCR-pMHC interaction, which can be obtained from stopped-flow fluorescence anisotropy. The need for such an assay is essential to understanding the recognition mechanism of the TCR as well as enabling further investigation of TCR cross reactivity and specificity. Fluorescence studies of the TCR-pMHC interaction were completed using a fluorescein derivative to label an MHC-free cysteine via maleimide chemistry. Current data with the A6 T cell receptor and the Tax 9 peptide presented by the class I MHC HLA-A2 shows that as the concentration of A6 increases, the pMHC is bound resulting in an increased anisotropy. The same trend is seen in various A6 constructs (A6 wild-type and A6 c134 zippered constructs, Cole/Sewell A6 wild-type and A6 c134) that have been studied. We have determined that upon ligation we see a change in anisotropy is observed using our fluorescein derivitized protein and determined the unique kinetic parameters and recognition mechanism of the A6/HLA-A2 binding interaction.

▼ To avoid freezing while overwintering beneath the bark of fallen trees, Dendroides canadensis (Coleoptera: Pyrochroideae) larvae produce a family of antifreeze proteins (DAFPs) that are transcribed in specific tissues and have specific compartmental fates. Thermal hysteresis activity (THA) and DAFPs have been conclusively shown in hemolymph and midgut fluid, but the presence of DAFPs or ice binding factors (IBFs) has not previously been explored in primary urine which has the potential to contain endogenous ice nucleating compounds that could induce freezing. A maximum mean thermal hysteresis activity of 2.65 + .33 °C was observed in primary urine of winter acclimatized D. canadensis larvae. Thermal hysteresis activity in primary urine increased significantly through fall, peaked in the winter and decreased through spring to levels less than 1 °C in summer, in a pattern similar to that described previously in hemolymph and midgut fluid. Thermal hysteresis activity was also found in hindgut fluid and excreted rectal fluid suggesting that these larvae not only concentrate AFPs in the hindgut, but also excrete AFPs from the rectal cavity. Addition of recombinant DAFPs to solutions containing ice nucleating crystals that have been shown in Malpighian tubules significantly decreased the supercooling points of the solutions suggesting a potential role for DAFPs in Malpighian tubule fluid (primary urine). Short photoperiod (10 hour critical PP) and low temperature (10 °C) have been shown to induce thermal hysteresis in D. canadensis. However, late summer collected D. canadensis larvae, acclimated to varying temperature and photoperiods, responded primarily to temperature. The TH induction in response to short PP described 30 years ago could not be reproduced. Perhaps because of a changing global climate, D. canadensis larvae are relying on temperature cues rather than photoperiodic cues for induction of thermal hysteresis. Also, when D. canadensis larvae were treated with juvenile hormone III (JH-III) and held under non-inductive conditions, THA in hemolymph and midgut fluid increased significantly after seven days. Previous studies that used JH-I did not show significant induction of THA until 14 days. Advisors/Committee Members: Sunny Boyd, Committee Member, Giles Duffield, Committee Member, John G.

▼ This dissertation explores the role of reciprocity and gift exchange in the book of Sirach, contextualizing these themes within the author’s understanding of “charity.” Along with other necessary prolegomena, Chapter 1 situates this study relative to anthropological, sociological, and historical study of reciprocity and gift exchange. A brief exegesis of Sir 22:23-26 introduces the theme in Ben Sira. Chapter 2 examines a text, Sir 14:3-19, which stresses the importance of “generosity” for a life well-lived. Generosity aims at the proper enjoyment of “good,” and includes a marked interest in the circulation of good in cycles of “giving, receiving, and enjoying oneself.” Such generosity here likely refers above all to gift exchange among “friends.” Chapter 3 examines Sir 18:15-18 and Sir 20:9-17. Both texts are concerned that gifts be coupled with proper speech, and both emphasize that words and gifts alike do things—having the potential to reinforce social solidarity (or to destroy it), and to elicit return gifts. Chapters 4 and 5 explore themes clustered around expressions for “repayment” from God. Chapter 4 looks first at Sir 35:1-13 and the concept of the sacrificial cult articulated there. Sacrifice is understood as a “gift” for God—a gift that God will reciprocate. Significantly, this passage brings both ordinary or “self-interested” generosity as well as more “altruistic” generosity within the ambit of sacrificial repayment. It is argued that this accounts for the move found in Sir 12:1-5a, where a strong claim is made about divine repayment of “ordinary,” intrahuman generosity. The final sections of Chapter 4—and all of Chapter 5—then attempt to account for the incorporation of ordinary generosity into the sacrificial economy by pointing to the history of effects of texts such as Deut 26:13; Prov 10:2, 11:4, 19:17; and Deut 15:1-18. This study finds that the presence of “charity” does not abolish the category of “reciprocity” for Ben Sira. Rather, the former opens up the possibility of generosity in cases where the latter is likely to fail, while simultaneously allowing reciprocity to remain a legitimate source of social solidarity.

▼ The systematic series of advances in semiconductor device manufacturing over the last 70 years has enabled previously unforeseen applications and allowed semiconductor device technologies to become a hidden yet central part of everyday modern life. In the past, the computational and data storage demands of our ever- expanding digital information ecosystem have been primarily fulfilled through scaling silicon based complementary-metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technologies. However, in order to fulfill the demands of future computing systems, the continued scaling of current semiconductor device technologies alone will not suffice. Instead, a deep holistic integration is required, where devices, circuits, architectures, and algorithms are co-designed and co-optimized, rather than seeking drop in replacements for current devices technologies. In this light, this thesis explores the response of emerging devices based on collective phenomena, including insulator-to-metal phase transitions and ferroelectrics, with the goal to intimately understand the underlying electrically driven dynamics and how they can be harnessed to either engineer or augment, new and existing hardware primitives. This dissertation describes key enabling device characteristics, their physical origin, and scalability, including abrupt switching, multi-domain behavior, and stochastic response. This work reveals how fundamental stochastic dynamics in phase transition materials can be exploited for computation, allowing new designs of true random number generators as well as stochastic neuron cells tailored to neuromorphic computing architectures and algorithms. Further, this work discusses the design of an analog synaptic weight cell using the natural multi- domain dynamics and non-volatility of ferroelectric field-effect-transistors for accelerating neuromorphic workloads compared to existing CMOS technologies. The dissertation concludes by assessing future research directions, including remaining opportunities and challenges presented by phase transition and ferroelectric devices.
