This work introduces students to the central ideas which surround the chaos/complexity theories. It discusses key concepts before using them as a way of investigating the nature of social research.
Sequential dependencies in 2-alternative response time tasks (2AFC), the characteristic of trial-histories to contextually modulate response speed and accuracy have a long history in cognitive performance research. A series of three experiments assessing sequential dependencies …
In this thesis, we investigate the ability to implement desired changes in dynamical systems of nonlinear oscillators and also in a particular complex material system. In brief: we explore the dynamics and memory capabilities of a harmonically driven integrate-and-fire oscillato…
Research in second language acquisition has typically focused on classroom and laboratory settings. This study explores second language use in a non-classroom setting. It is based on research from divergent fields including theories of social interaction from sociology, theories…
Photonic microwave or millimeter wave (MMW) sources that produce highly stable and broadly tunable microwave frequencies of low phase noise are anticipated for many applications ranging from broadband wireless access networks and satellite communication systems to emerging broad…
Converting vibrations to a usable form of energy has been the topic of many recent investigations. The ultimate goal is to convert ambient or aeroelastic vibrations to operate low-power consumption devices, such as microelectromechanical systems, heath monitoring sensors, wirele…
This dissertation presents an investigation into dynamic instabilities and bifurcations in MEMS devices actuated electrostatically and their use to achieve new methods and functionalities for mass and acceleration sensing and detection. These instabilities are induced into a MEM…
Offers a survey of measurement error models. This work features a discussion and applications of Bayesian computation via Markov Chain Monte Carlo techniques; a chapter on longitudinal data and mixed models; a chapter on nonparametric regression and density estimation; a chapter…
