- Description:
- The goal of this thesis is to prove that topological restriction homology, TR, is locally even in the quasi-syntomic topology in characteristic p. This local evenness was already known for the other main trace theories, but is more subtle for TR.

- Description:
- We consider data-driven approaches for universal texture modeling via generative adversarial networks and inversion methods. We investigate the properties of the learned representation spaces and demonstrate that a strong link between texture analysis and synthesis is the key to successful texture modeling. First, we visit the problem of texture synthesis...

- Description:
- Previous studies have documented a systematic discrepancy between probabilistic seismic hazard maps and historical records of shaking (Stein et al., 2015; Brooks et al., 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019; Salditch et al., 2020; Salditch, 2021). In almost every case, shaking predicted by the hazard map is higher than that historically observed....

- Description:
- The objective of this project is to build an implementation of the Prisoner’s Dilemma game that takes advantage of quantum properties. Besides the two options we see in a classical prisoner’s dilemma, to confess and to not confess, we introduce an additional quantum option that gives both players a better...

- We all—users, businesses, governments, and the general public—expect internet platform companies, like Meta, Alphabet, and Amazon to govern their users. Without platform governance, we all experience disasters like foreign election interference, vaccine misinformation, counterfeiting, and even genocide. Unfortunately, the platform companies have failed. To this day, despite the lessons from...

- Description:
- Human skin oils are significant scavengers of atmospheric oxidants in occupied indoor environments. Many techniques used to study gas-phase transformations of surface films indoors have been limited to off-line bulk analysis, although more surface-selective methodologies are emerging. Here, we present a multi-prong analytical approach to characterizing skin oil ozonolysis. Skin...

- Description:
- Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are porous, crystalline materials synthesized by combining metal nodes and organic linkers through self-assembly. The diverse range of building blocks available allows for extensive tunability of MOFs, enabling the optimization of these materials for various applications, such as gas storage, separations, and catalysis. This study aimed to...
