- Description:
- This thesis examines the role of the media in stock markets and the role of transparency in investment decisions. In the first two chapters, I investigate how the contrasting trends in media coverage and earnings guidance have affected stock price informativeness over the past two decades. I develop a model...

- Description:
- Numerous insights into the sensorimotor systems that guide the control of voice have been garnered by observing how the system responds to manipulations of its auditory feedback. However, current approaches may be limited in the exploration of more complex parameters of volitional and adaptive voice control due to their limited...

- Description:
- Since its discovery in 2012 at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), efforts have beenmade to measure and characterize the properties of the Higgs boson. Among these efforts have been searches for rare decays of the Higgs predicted by the standard model (SM) of particle physics. One such decay is the...

- Description:
- Body size is one of the most discernible ways in which animal species vary. The blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus), the largest animal on earth, can reach up to 30 m in length and weigh up to 200 tonnes. At the other extreme, a species of frog called Paedophryne amauensis is...

- Description:
- Scalable processing of well-defined interfaces is key not only for wider application of two-dimensional (2D) materials in technology but also for improved fundamental understanding. Atomic layer deposition has useful characteristics, especially self-limited growth at low temperatures, that make it well suited for the production of uniform interfaces. Related processes, such...

- Description:
- Nanotechnology research broadly encompasses the exploration of the unique chemical,optical, electronic, or biological properties of materials with dimensions < 1 µm. Inorganic nanoparticles are one such class of materials, with properties that are exceptionally sensitive to particle size and structure. This is especially evident in the field of heterogeneous chemical...

- Description:
- Within scholarship on mid-century Hollywood musicals, celebrity, glamour, and spectacle are commonly included in the conversation about the films themselves. Yet, what happened when these films – which privilege visuality – were adapted into purely aural forms, has not been as deeply analyzed. In this project, I track the cross-media...

- Description:
- This thesis is composed of two major parts. The first major part includes the first two chapters. In Chapter 1, we go over the history and background of spin glass theory and introduce the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick (SK) model and the Ghatak-Sherrington (GS) model. In Chapter 2, we introduce the Thouless-Anderson-Palmer (TAP)...

- Description:
- Computer systems supported by photonic interconnects and photonic memory devices can reach performance and energy efficiency levels unattainable through purely electronic means across scales, from processor chips to the data center. However, the promised benefits cannot be realized through a simple replacement process; to reach their full potential, several aspects...

- Description:
- We study the complexification of Laplace Eigenfunctions on the Grauert tube of a compact real analytic manifold. Our main results concern scaling asymptotics of Fourier coefficients of the Szego kernel on the Grauert tube boundary in a Heisenberg frequency scaled neighborhood of the geodesic flow. We show that in the...
