▼ As a part of vital infrastructure and transportation network, bridge structures must function safely at all times. Bridges are designed to have a long life span. At any point in time, however, some bridges are aged. The ageing of bridge structures, given the rapidly growing demand of heavy and fast inter-city passages and continuous increase of freight transportation, would require diligence on bridge owners to ensure that the infrastructure is healthy at reasonable cost. In recent decades, a new technique, structural health monitoring (SHM), has emerged to meet this challenge. In this new engineering discipline, structural modal identification and damage detection have formed a vital component. Witnessed by an increasing number of publications is that the change in vibration characteristics is widely and deeply investigated to assess structural damage. Although a number of publications have addressed the feasibility of various methods through experimental verifications, few of them have focused on steel truss bridges. Finding a feasible vibration-based damage indicator for steel truss bridges and solving the difficulties in practical modal identification to support damage detection motivated this research project. This research was to derive an innovative method to assess structural damage in steel truss bridges. First, it proposed a new damage indicator that relies on optimising the correlation between theoretical and measured modal strain energy. The optimisation is powered by a newly proposed multilayer genetic algorithm. In addition, a selection criterion for damage-sensitive modes has been studied to achieve more efficient and accurate damage detection results. Second, in order to support the proposed damage indicator, the research studied the applications of two state-of-the-art modal identification techniques by considering some practical difficulties: the limited instrumentation, the influence of environmental noise, the difficulties in finite element model updating, and the data selection problem in the output-only modal identification methods. The numerical (by a planer truss model) and experimental (by a laboratory through truss bridge) verifications have proved the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed damage detection scheme. The modal strain energy-based indicator was found to be sensitive to the damage in steel truss bridges with incomplete measurement. It has shown the damage indicator's potential in practical applications of steel truss bridges. Lastly, the achievement and limitation of this study, and lessons learnt from the modal analysis have been summarised.

▼ This dissertation contains the results from three related projects, each within the fields of algorithmic randomness and probability theory. The first project we undertake, which can be found in Chapter 2, contains the definition a natural, computable Borel probability measure on the space of Borel probability measures over 2ω that allows us to study algorithmically random measures. The main results here are as follows. Every (algorithmically) random measure is atomless yet mutually singular with respect to the Lebesgue measure. The random reals of a random measure are random for the Lebesgue measure, and every random real for the Lebesgue measure is random for some random measure. However, for a fixed Lebesgue-random real, the set of random measures for which that real is random is small. Relatively random measures, though mutually singular, always share a random real that is in fact computable from the join of the measures. Random measures fail Kolmogorov’s 0-1 law. The shift of a random real for a random measure is no longer random for that measure. In our second project, which makes up Chapter 3, we study algorithmically random closed subsets of 2ω , algorithmically random continuous functions from 2ω to 2ω , and the algorithmically random Borel probability measures on 2ω from Chapter 2, especially the interplay among these three classes of objects. Our main tools are preservation of randomness and its converse, the “no randomness ex nihilo principle,” which together say that given an almost-everywhere defined computable map from 2ω to itself, a real is Martin Lo¨f random for the pushforward measure if and only if its preimage is random with respect to the measure on the domain. These tools allow us to prove new facts, some of which answer previously open questions, and reprove some known results more simply. The main results of Chapter 3 are the following. We answer an open question in [3] by showing that X ⊆ 2ω is a random closed set if and only if it is the set of zeros of a random continuous function on 2ω . As a corollary, we obtain the result that the collection of random continuous functions on 2ω is not closed under composition. We construct a computable measure Q on the space of measures on 2ω such that X ⊆ 2ω is a random closed set if and only if X is the support of a Q-random measure. We also establish a correspondence between random closed sets and the random measures studied in Chapter 2. Lastly, we study the ranges of random continuous functions, showing that the Lebesgue measure of the range of a random continuous function is always strictly between 0 and 1. In Chapter 4 we effectivize a theorem of Erd¨os and R´enyi [11], which says that for c ≥ 1, if a fair coin is used to generate a length-N string of 1’s and −1’s, which are interpreted as gain and loss, then the maximal average gain over lc log NJ-length substrings converges almost surely (in N ) to the same limit α©. We show that if the 1’s and −1’s are determined by the bits of a Martin Lo¨f random, then the… Advisors/Committee Members: Gregory Igusa, Committee Member, Francois M.

▼ Cochlear dead regions (DRs) are areas in the cochlea where inner hair cells and/or neurones are functioning so poorly that a sound that causes peak basilar membrane motion in that region is more efficiently detected via off-frequency listening. The Threshold Equalising Noise (TEN) test is a clinical test procedure for detecting DRs. Psychophysical Tuning Curves (PTCs) can be used to identify the boundary frequency of the DR although the clinical importance of doing this has yet to be determined. Some studies have suggested that the reduction of amplification well inside the DR may be beneficial; however, other studies have been unable to replicate these findings in a more typical clinical population. Three studies were completed in order to:1. determine the prevalence of DRs in a clinical sample of the UK adult population,2. investigate repeatability, agreement and clinical feasibility of the TEN-test and fast PTCs in a clinical setting, and 3. determine the benefit of high-frequency amplification in ears with and without DRs, when listening to nonsense syllable speech material in quiet and babble. In the first study, 343 hearing-impaired adults were tested for DRs using the TEN-test. In total, 36% (95% confidence interval 31-41) of these adults had a DR in at least one ear, but frequently at 4 kHz only. Only 3% (1-5) of participants had a DR spanning more than three consecutive frequencies. These findings suggest that DRs usually only span 1 or 2 clinically-relevant frequencies. In the second study, the TEN-test was completed on 70 ears at frequencies between 0.5 and 4 kHz. Fast PTCs were measured on 20 ears at ≥ 2 frequencies. The TEN-test and fast PTCs were highly repeatable on retest (97% and 100%, respectively). There was 87% agreement between the two procedures in terms of the presence of off-frequency listening, with the TEN-test less likely to detect a DR than fast PTCs. Compared to the TEN-test, fast PTCs had a 10% lower ‘conclusive finding’ rate and the test duration was typically 40 minutes longer. Therefore, the TEN-test is more clinically acceptable, but it may underestimate the extent of a DR because of its inability to precisely identify the boundary frequency. In the third study, 18 ears with a high-frequency DR and 18 matched ears without a DR were tested. Vowel-Consonant-Vowel (VCV) stimuli were presented in quiet and babble when listening with an unfiltered and three low-pass filtered hearing aid settings. Best performance was obtained in the unfiltered condition; however the DR group performed significantly poorer than the controls in babble. There was no evidence to support reducing amplification in ears with a DR. However, participants with DRs may benefit from counseling about the limitations of listening in noise. In summary, DRs are relatively prevalent in hearing-impaired adults and can be diagnosed most efficiently in a clinical setting using the TEN-test. However, DRs are often restricted to a narrow frequency range and, in the typical adult clinical population, there is no evidence to…

▼ ABSTRACT THE UNIVERSITY OF MANCHESTERAnna Caroline PeplerDoctor of PhilosophyCOCHLEAR DEAD REGIONS IN HEARING-IMPAIRED ADULTSDecember 2013Cochlear dead regions (DRs) are areas in the cochlea where inner hair cells and/or neurones are functioning so poorly that a sound that causes peak basilar membrane motion in that region is more efficiently detected via off-frequency listening. The Threshold Equalising Noise (TEN) test is a clinical test procedure for detecting DRs. Psychophysical Tuning Curves (PTCs) can be used to identify the boundary frequency of the DR although the clinical importance of doing this has yet to be determined. Some studies have suggested that the reduction of amplification well inside the DR may be beneficial; however, other studies have been unable to replicate these findings in a more typical clinical population. Three studies were completed in order to:1. determine the prevalence of DRs in a clinical sample of the UK adult population,2. investigate repeatability, agreement and clinical feasibility of the TEN-test and fast PTCs in a clinical setting, and 3. determine the benefit of high-frequency amplification in ears with and without DRs, when listening to nonsense syllable speech material in quiet and babble. In the first study, 343 hearing-impaired adults were tested for DRs using the TEN-test. In total, 36% (95% confidence interval 31-41) of these adults had a DR in at least one ear, but frequently at 4 kHz only. Only 3% (1-5) of participants had a DR spanning more than three consecutive frequencies. These findings suggest that DRs usually only span 1 or 2 clinically-relevant frequencies. In the second study, the TEN-test was completed on 70 ears at frequencies between 0.5 and 4 kHz. Fast PTCs were measured on 20 ears at ≥ 2 frequencies. The TEN-test and fast PTCs were highly repeatable on retest (97% and 100%, respectively). There was 87% agreement between the two procedures in terms of the presence of off-frequency listening, with the TEN-test less likely to detect a DR than fast PTCs. Compared to the TEN-test, fast PTCs had a 10% lower ‘conclusive finding’ rate and the test duration was typically 40 minutes longer. Therefore, the TEN-test is more clinically acceptable, but it may underestimate the extent of a DR because of its inability to precisely identify the boundary frequency. In the third study, 18 ears with a high-frequency DR and 18 matched ears without a DR were tested. Vowel-Consonant-Vowel (VCV) stimuli were presented in quiet and babble when listening with an unfiltered and three low-pass filtered hearing aid settings. Best performance was obtained in the unfiltered condition; however the DR group performed significantly poorer than the controls in babble. There was no evidence to support reducing amplification in ears with a DR. However, participants with DRs may benefit from counseling about the limitations of listening in noise. In summary, DRs are relatively prevalent in hearing-impaired adults and can be diagnosed most efficiently in a clinical setting using the… Advisors/Committee Members: KLUK-DE KORT, KAROLINA K, Munro, Kevin, Kluk-de Kort, Karolina.

▼ The ever-increasing transistor shrinkage and higher clock frequencies are causing serious clock distribution, power management, and reliability issues. Asynchronous design is predicted to have a significant role in tackling these challenges because of its distributed control mechanism and on-demand, rather than continuous, switching activity.Null Convention Logic (NCL) is a robust and low-power asynchronous paradigm that introduces new challenges to test and testability algorithms because 1) the lack of deterministic timing in NCL complicates the management of test timing, 2) all NCL gates are state-holding and even simple combinational circuits show sequential behaviour, and 3) stuck-at faults on gate internal feedback (GIF) of NCL gates do not always cause an incorrect output and therefore are undetectable by automatic test pattern generation (ATPG) algorithms.Existing test methods for NCL use clocked hardware to control the timing of test. Such test hardware could introduce metastability issues into otherwise highly robust NCL devices. Also, existing test techniques for NCL handle the high-statefulness of NCL circuits by excessive incorporation of test hardware which imposes additional area, propagation delay and power consumption.This work, first, proposes a clockless self-timed ATPG that detects all faults on the gate inputs and a share of the GIF faults with no added design for test (DFT). Then, the efficacy of quiescent current (IDDQ) test for detecting GIF faults undetectable by a DFT-less ATPG is investigated. Finally, asynchronous test hardware, including test points, a scan cell, and an interleaved scan architecture, is proposed for NCL-based circuits. To the extent of our knowledge, this is the first work that develops clockless, self-timed test techniques for NCL while minimising the need for DFT, and also the first work conducted on IDDQ test of NCL. The proposed methods are applied to multiple NCL circuits with up to 2,633 NCL gates (10,000 CMOS Boolean gates), in 180 and 45 nm technologies and show average fault coverage of 88.98% for ATPG alone, 98.52% including IDDQ test, and 99.28% when incorporating test hardware. Given that this fault coverage includes detection of GIF faults, our work has 13% higher fault coverage than previous work. Also, because our proposed clockless test hardware eliminates the need for double-latching, it reduces the average area and delay overhead of previous studies by 32% and 50%, respectively.

▼ This dissertation consists of three chapters. Chapter 1 presents an axiomatization of expected utility from the frequentist perspective. It starts with a preference relation on the set of infinite sequences with limit relative frequencies. We consider three axioms parallel to the ones for the vN-M expected utility theory. Limit relative frequencies correspond to probability values in lotteries in the vN-M theory. This correspondence is used to show that each of our axioms is equivalent to the corresponding vN-M axiom in the sense that the former is an exact translation of the latter. As a result, a representation theorem is established: The preference relation is represented by an average of utilities with weights given by the relative frequencies. Chapter 2 reconsiders solutions to the problem of coexistence of money and higher-return substitute of media-of-exchange using imperfect recognizability. Most of the literature on imperfect recognizability focuses on pooling equilibrium and some of it assumes a zero cost of counterfeiting. We replace the zero-cost assumption with a positive cost of counterfeiting, and place the analysis within a signalling game framework in which the intuitive criterion is invoked. With these assumptions, there is no equilibrium in which only money is traded. In particular, if the cost of counterfeiting the substitutes is small, then there is no monetary equilibrium. Therefore, the counterfeiting of substitutes for money can be a threat to monetary systems. This result provides a new rationale for legal restrictions that prohibit substitute media-of-exchange. Chapter 3 gives a new theory of mixed strategies in zero-sum games. Unpredictable behavior is central for optimal play in many strategic situations because a predictable pattern leaves a player vulnerable to exploitation. A theory of unpredictable behavior is presented in the context of repeated two-person zero-sum games in which the stage games have no pure strategy equilibrium. Players are endowed with sets of feasible functions to generate their strategies. Two dimensions of complexity of these feasible functions are considered: one considers the computability relation and the other considers Kolmogorov complexity. Equilibrium existence is shown under a sufficient condition called mutual complexity. A close characterization of unpredictable strategies is obtained using the criterion stochasticity. In particular, this characterization implies that the failure of some statistical properties of randomness does not justify rejection of equilibrium play.

▼ Randomized techniques play a fundamental role in theoretical computer science and discrete mathematics, in particular for the design of efficient algorithms and construction of combinatorial objects. The basic goal in derandomization theory is to eliminate or reduce the need for randomness in such randomized constructions. Towards this goal, numerous fundamental notions have been developed to provide a unified framework for approaching various derandomization problems and to improve our general understanding of the power of randomness in computation. Two important classes of such tools are pseudorandom generators and randomness extractors. Pseudorandom generators transform a short, purely random, sequence into a much longer sequence that looks random, while extractors transform a weak source of randomness into a perfectly random one (or one with much better qualities, in which case the transformation is called a randomness condenser). In this thesis, we explore some applications of the fundamental notions in derandomization theory to problems outside the core of theoretical computer science, and in particular, certain problems related to coding theory. First, we consider the wiretap channel problem which involves a communication system in which an intruder can eavesdrop a limited portion of the transmissions. We utilize randomness extractors to construct efficient and information-theoretically optimal communication protocols for this model. Then we consider the combinatorial group testing problem. In this classical problem, one aims to determine a set of defective items within a large population by asking a number of queries, where each query reveals whether a defective item is present within a specified group of items. We use randomness condensers to explicitly construct optimal, or nearly optimal, group testing schemes for a setting where the query outcomes can be highly unreliable, as well as the threshold model where a query returns positive if the number of defectives pass a certain threshold. Next, we use randomness condensers and extractors to design ensembles of error-correcting codes that achieve the information-theoretic capacity of a large class of communication channels, and then use the obtained ensembles for construction of explicit capacity achieving codes. Finally, we consider the problem of explicit construction of error-correcting codes on the Gilbert-Varshamov bound and extend the original idea of Nisan and Wigderson to obtain a small ensemble of codes, mostly achieving the bound, under suitable computational hardness assumptions.

Cette thèse vise l’étude de nouvelles architectures d’auto test pour les convertisseurs de type pipeline. En production, les convertisseurs sont testés en fonctionnement statique et dynamique. Les techniques de test statique de linéarité sont les techniques les plus coûteuses durant la phase de production. La mesure des performances statiques utilise un stimulus à haute linéarité et très basse fréquence et la méthode de l’histogramme, nécessitant la collecte d’un grand nombre d’échantillons en sortie afin de moyenner le bruit. Ainsi, la quantité de données nécessaire augmente exponentiellement avec la résolution du CAN sous test. Pour cette raison, la réduction du temps de test des CANs est un domaine de recherche qui attire de plus en plus d’attention. Récemment, des nouvelles solutions ont été mises au point pour réduire de façon importante le temps de test, mais aucune solution d’auto test considérant un générateur de signal de haute résolution en combinaison avec une technique d'analyse intégrée, réduisant considérablement la quantité de données, n’a encore été développée. Dans le cadre de cette thèse, on envisage l’étude de techniques d’auto test statique pour ce type de convertisseurs. En particulier, cette thèse présente un générateur de stimulus de test intégré à haute linéarité et une technique modifiée de servo-loop qui, en combinaison avec un algorithme de test de linéarité avec réduction de codes, conduit à la définition d'une stratégie efficace et précise de test intégré pour les CANs de type pipeline. La thèse inclut la validation expérimentale des techniques proposées, en coopération avec ST Microelectronics, Grenoble.

This PhD thesis is aimed at exploring new Built-In-Self-Test (BIST) techniques for static linearity characterization of pipeline ADCs. During the production phase, the static and dynamic performances of the ADCs are tested. Static linearity test techniques are one of the more expensive test procedures that are performed at production line. The measurement of the static linearity performance requires the application of a low frequency high linearity stimulus and the collection of a high volume of output samples for noise averaging, usually using a histogram-based test setup. Thus, as the resolution of state-of-the-art ADCs increases, test time for static linearity characterization increases exponentially. For this reason, the reduction of the ADC test time is a hot topic that has gained an increasing interest over the past years. New techniques have recently been proposed to effectively reduce test time, but no BIST technique has yet been developed that considers a high resolution signal generator in combination with an on-chip analysis technique that dramatically reduces the amount of data. In this thesis, static linearity BIST techniques will be investigated for pipeline ADCs. In particular, this thesis presents a novel high-linearity on-chip test stimulus generator and a modified servo-loop technique that, in combination with reduced-code linearity test algorithms, lead to the…

▼ Characterization of asphalt concrete is of paramount importance for the sound structural design and analysis of flexible pavements. Of equal importance is the availability of test methods that can provide an accurate and reliable measure of the required engineering properties of the material. For routine applications in material characterization, selected test methods should be reliable, simple, quick, repeatable, and cost eﬀective. The use of nondestructive test (NDT) methods has proven to provide such characterization capabilities. Among those methods, the impact resonance (IR) test is a vibration based NDT method, and has been increasingly used for asphalt concrete evaluation and characterization in the past two decades. The majority of studies regarding the IR test in asphalt concrete applications have been focused on comparison of the IR test moduli with the moduli obtained from conventional asphalt concrete dynamic modulus tests and the predictive equations. In this dissertation, the IR test was utilized to characterize the properties of asphalt concrete mixtures and recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) binder through mixture testing at a range of temperatures. To this eﬀect, several independent studies were conducted. The second order equation of motion assumption in rheological modeling of the IR test response was evaluated for asphalt concrete testing. A set of asphalt concrete specimens was tested with the IR test, and the obtained signals at a range of temperatures were evaluated by means of the Hankel matrix method. The results showed that the assumption is violated for asphalt concrete testing, especially at high temperatures, mainly due to the presence of noise in the obtained response. However, the Hankel method was employed to filter out the noise. It was seen that the assumption could be employed for asphalt concrete at a range of temperatures including high temperatures, provided that the filtering is performed on the obtained signal. The results also showed that the employed filtering procedure produced improvements for the IR test material dependent responses, resonant frequency and especially damping ratio calculations. The IR test results are influenced by specimen size and testing configurations. A study was conducted to investigate the influence of aspect ratio (length/diameter) of laboratory specimens on the frequency response of asphalt concrete when tested with the IR. The IR test, performed in a longitudinal mode, demonstrated that the test is repeatable and reproducible. The test results indicated that the frequency response increased as the aspect ratio increased approximately up to 0.7, and then it decreased with a nonlinear trend as the aspect ratio increased beyond 0.7, indicating that the tendency of the frequency response reached a plateau as the aspect ratio increased. It was inferred from the test results that there was a threshold aspect ratio at which the fundamental longitudinal frequency mode was not the dominant frequency mode. Velocity calculations from measured resonant…

▼ This dissertation consists of two essays dealing respectively with estimation of volatility and test for a jump using high frequency data. Chapter 1 investigates the properties of pre-averaging estimators of integrated volatility, first considered by Podolskij and Vetter (2009). We relax their assumptions on the properties of market microstructure noise in order to include realistic and empirically relevant features of noise such as missing data and flat price trading. We develop an asymptotic theory of our estimator using martingale convergence theorems. Especially we deal with the boundary problem of pre-averaging and we provide a solution to the parameters-on-the- boundary problem posed by pre-averaging estimators. Building on that theory, we show that a general linear combination of estimators can be made unbiased, and we devise a rate-optimal estimator of the integrated volatility. In addition, we derive a bootstrap statistic to assess the variance of our estimator. This allows us to optimally select the estimator's smoothing parameter from the data, providing an additional improvement over previously-considered pre-averaging estimators. Because our methodology and assumptions on the market microstructure noise component are general, our estimator can also be applied to multivariate time series without any need to correct for asynchronicity in the observations. Monte Carlo experiments show that our theoretical results are valid in realistic cases. Chapter 2 shows that the power of any test of this hypothesis depends on the frequency of observation. In particular, we show that if the process is observed at intervals of length 1=n and the instantaneous volatility of the process is given by σt, at best one can detect jumps of height no smaller than σt√2log(n)/n. We construct a test which achieves this rate in the case for di¤usion-type processes. With simulation experiments, we show that our tests have good size and power properties in many cases with realistic sample sizes and that they outperform other tests that have been proposed in the recent literature. Applying our tests to high-frequency financial data, we detect more jumps in the data than are found by other tests.

▼ This dissertation challenges the critical accounts that have confined the aesthetic fertility of randomness to early twentieth-century literature, and notably to Mallarmé and the Surrealists. I supplement this truncated genealogy and argue that the narratives from the 1960s onward allow for a significantly novel articulation of chance and writing. A paradox encapsulates the creative contradiction at work: randomness can productively be framed and analyzed in constrained prose. I therefore track its emplotment in the novels by proponents of 'Pataphysics and the Oulipo. Writers such as Jarry and Perec borrow the materialist concept of the clinamen in order to rekindle the association between letters and atoms, and disrupt the traditional understanding of creation as inspiration. My critical contribution is to turn the materialist clinamen into a literary paradigm, and to flag it as the symptom of a broader, decisive transformation in contemporary fiction beyond oulipian procedures and modernist strategies. The clinamen holds in tension poetics as a set of rules and aesthetics as the ultimate singularity of an authorial intent. My dissertation situates this pivotal tension between chance and necessity within a broader genealogy: I deploy my hypothesis from Balzac, Proust, and Breton to Beckett, Queneau, and Modiano. My critical observations not only touch on aesthetics, but also epistemological questions. I disentangle the paradoxes involved in the conceptualization of randomness to propose a delineation of its conflictual articulation with determinism and intentionality. My rereading strategically uses a parameter of randomness that has been underexplored in science, philosophy, and literature: space. The spatialization of randomness is a crucial component of its genealogy, and it brings to light the complex moves involved in its integration in literature. My take on the legacy of randomness focuses on a specific device: the clinamen, a term from ancient physics that indicates the aleatory moment and place where atoms swerve from their fated fall. I trace the exemplary surfacing of the clinamen in philosophy, starting with Democritus, Epicurus, and Lucretius; I map its disruptive actualization in theory from Bergson to Meillassoux, through Althusser, Lacan, Derrida, Deleuze, Serres, and Nancy.

▼ The literature on the perception and generation of randomness suggests that people’s conception of randomness deviates from true randomness in predictable and consistent ways. In general, people see patterns or repetitions as evidence of non-randomness (Nickerson, 2002). In the 2D domain (e.g., grids) in particular, people believe that random chance occurrences do not fall in clusters, in similar locations (e.g., same row or column), or on the corners and edges of the space (Falk, Falk & Ayton, 2009). A common explanation given is that spread-out and patternless occurrences in the interior of the grid are locally representative of what people believe random chance occurrences to look like. But why do people make this association in the first place? Given that random sequences are minimally compressible (Nickerson, 2002), Falk and Konold (1997) suggest that people judge the randomness of a sequence based on their tacit ability to encode it. Cells that are clustered or located on the edges of a grid are easier to encode (i.e., describe, memorize) and are thus judged as less random. This explanation, however, fails to account for people’s strong preference for the center of the grid, which is in itself a location that is easy to encode. Additional explanations based on positional biases for the center (Christenfeld, 1995) and variety seeking tendencies, including diversification bias (Read & Lowenstein, 1995), choice bracketing (Read, Lowenstein & Rabin, 1999), partition dependence (Fox, Ratner, & Lieb, 2005), and distinctiveness (Ayal & Zakay, 2009), only add to a patchwork of theories that cannot in themselves provide a complete explanation of the observed behaviour. Therefore, the main research objective of this thesis is to formally characterize and explain people’s choices when they generate random selections in structured two-dimensional space. In Study 1, people’s choices were formally observed in a controlled experiment. Participants searched for an item (prize) that was hidden in a 9x9 grid by a random process. Trying to ‘match’ that random process, they generated selections that avoided the edge of the grid, and were spread out such that they were rarely near each other or in the same row or column. Based on analysis of data from Study 1 as well as data from Falk et al. (2009), we observed that people group cells in a 2D grid by proximity - e.g., cells in the immediate vicinity of a selected cell, or by similarity - e.g., cells in the same row or column. Cells pertaining to a group are judged as having similar attributes, including similar probability assessments. Given a selected cell, we defined its ‘coverage’ to be the perceptually-formed grouping to which it belongs: fundamentally, a cell 'covers' similar or nearby cells. We then proposed that people judge the randomness of selected cells by their perceived coverage: the higher the coverage, the more random are the cells perceived. The effect of the grouping size on a group element’s judged probability was confirmed in Study 2. Based on the above, we…

▼ This thesis establishes significant new results in the area of algorithmic randomness. These results elucidate the deep relationship between randomness and computability. A number of results focus on randomness for finite strings. Levin introduced two functions which measure the randomness of finite strings. One function is derived from a universal monotone machine and the other function is derived from an optimal computably enumerable semimeasure. Gacs proved that infinitely often, the gap between these two functions exceeds the inverse Ackermann function (applied to string length). This thesis improves this result to show that infinitely often the difference between these two functions exceeds the double logarithm. Another separation result is proved for two different kinds of process machine. Information about the randomness of finite strings can be used as a computational resource. This information is contained in the overgraph. Muchnik and Positselsky asked whether there exists an optimal monotone machine whose overgraph is not truth-table complete. This question is answered in the negative. Related results are also established. This thesis makes advances in the theory of randomness for infinite binary sequences. A variant of process machines is used to characterise computable randomness, Schnorr randomness and weak randomness. This result is extended to give characterisations of these types of randomness using truthtable reducibility. The computable Lipschitz reducibility measures both the relative randomness and the relative computational power of real numbers. It is proved that the computable Lipschitz degrees of computably enumerable sets are not dense. Infinite binary sequences can be regarded as elements of Cantor space. Most research in randomness for Cantor space has been conducted using the uniform measure. However, the study of non-computable measures has led to interesting results. This thesis shows that the two approaches that have been used to define randomness on Cantor space for non-computable measures: that of Reimann and Slaman, along with the uniform test approach first introduced by Levin and also used by Gacs, Hoyrup and Rojas, are equivalent. Levin established the existence of probability measures for which all infinite sequences are random. These measures are termed neutral measures. It is shown that every PA degree computes a neutral measure. Work of Miller is used to show that the set of atoms of a neutral measure is a countable Scott set and in fact any countable Scott set is the set of atoms of some neutral measure. Neutral measures are used to prove new results in computability theory. For example, it is shown that the low computable enumerable sets are precisely the computably enumerable sets bounded by PA degrees strictly below the halting problem. This thesis applies ideas developed in the study of randomness to computability theory by examining indifferent sets for comeager classes in Cantor space. A number of results are proved. For example, it is shown that there exist 1-generic… Advisors/Committee Members: Downey, Rod.
