Mean-Swap Variance, Portfolio Theory And Asset Pricing, Jhan Wang
Mean-Swap Variance, Portfolio Theory And Asset Pricing, Jhan Wang
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
The primary focus of this dissertation is a new risk measure, Swap Variance (SwV), and its applications to expected utility maximization, portfolio theory, and capital asset pricing models (CAPM) with loss aversion and gain preference. Superior to the classical mean-variance (MV) model, the mean-swap variance (MSwV) efficiency is consistent with expected utility maximization for all concave utility without any restriction on the form of either utility function or return distributions. Specifically, the MSwV efficiency is necessary and sufficient to the second-degree stochastic dominance (SSD). Thus, the SSD optimization can be consistently replicated by the SwV minimization for given means. The …
Dietary Intake And Body Composition Changes During A 12-Week Weight Loss Trial In Middle-Aged And Older Men, Allison Marie Morris
Dietary Intake And Body Composition Changes During A 12-Week Weight Loss Trial In Middle-Aged And Older Men, Allison Marie Morris
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
Middle-aged adults suffer from the highest rates of obesity in the nation. Obesity is not only a risk factor for cardiovascular-related chronic disease, it is also associated with decreased functional status in aging populations. Depletion of lean mass is a concerning consequence of intentional weight loss. However, efforts to attenuate loss of lean mass with weight loss are often limited to older adults. Understanding body composition changes that occur during intentional weight loss and factors to limit the loss of lean mass during weight loss in middle aged adults are needed reduce and prevent adverse outcomes in old age. The …
Personality, Sleep, And Mortality, Shantel Spears
Personality, Sleep, And Mortality, Shantel Spears
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
Personality traits and sleep are associated with health and longevity; however, no investigation has examined whether sleep is a pathway linking personality to mortality risk. Thus, we tested this effect across a 20-year mortality follow-up period in the Midlife Development in the United States (MIDUS) cohort (N = 3,253; M age = 47.03 years, SD = 12.39, range = 20-75), using proportional hazards in a structural equation modeling (SEM) framework. Openness was the only trait predictor of death risk. Daytime sleepiness and short and long sleep duration also emerged as predictors of mortality risk. We found indirect effects for neuroticism, …
Conductance Calculations For Semiconductor-Superconductor Majorana Structures, John Stenger
Conductance Calculations For Semiconductor-Superconductor Majorana Structures, John Stenger
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
Majorana zero modes (MZMs), also called Majorana bound states (MBSs), are zeroenergy mid-gap modes localized near boundaries and topological defects in one- and twodimensional topological superconductors. These zero-energy modes have attracted significant attention in recent years because of their unique properties, particularly their non- Abelian exchange statistics and their ability to encode quantum information non-locally. These properties make the MZMs an ideal platform for fault-tolerant topological quantum computation. This type of quantum memory is robust against local perturbations, since the information is encoded non-locally, while the information processing, which can be done, for example, by braiding the MZMs, is topologically …

Syntheses And Properties Of Thiophene-Containing Cycloparaphenylenes And Related Macrocycles And A Strained Cyclophane, Haresh Thakellapalli
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
Thiophene-containing cycloparaphenylenes (CPPs) bearing 8, 10 and 16 aromatic and heteroaromatic units in the macrocyclic structure were constructed. Specifically, two and four units of thiophene-2,5-diyl moiety were incorporated into functionalized [6]- and [12]CPP macro-cyclic carbon frameworks, respectively. Insertion of two 2,2'-bithiophene-5,5'-yl units into a functionalized [6]CPP carbon framework led to the formation of the 10-membered macrocycle. In addition, optical and electrochemical properties of these macrocycles were investigated.;The synthetic pathways for thiophene- and 9-fluorenone-containing donor-acceptor macrocycles were also developed. Synthetic pathways to conjugated macrocycles containing one, two, or three 2,7-bis(2-thienyl)-9H-fluoren-9-one (TFOT) units in the macrocyclic frameworks bearing 10, 16, or 24 …
Integrated Circuits For Programming Flash Memories In Portable Applications, Mir Mohammad Navidi
Integrated Circuits For Programming Flash Memories In Portable Applications, Mir Mohammad Navidi
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
Smart devices such as smart grids, smart home devices, etc. are infrastructure systems that connect the world around us more than before. These devices can communicate with each other and help us manage our environment. This concept is called the Internet of Things (IoT). Not many smart nodes exist that are both low-power and programmable. Floating-gate (FG) transistors could be used to create adaptive sensor nodes by providing programmable bias currents. FG transistors are mostly used in digital applications like Flash memories. However, FG transistors can be used in analog applications, too. Unfortunately, due to the expensive infrastructure required for …
Religiousness And Political Attitudes In Adolescence, Rebecca Olson
Religiousness And Political Attitudes In Adolescence, Rebecca Olson
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
Adolescent civic engagement has been shown to uniquely develop in certain contexts. However, few studies have examined the potential role of religiousness on youth's budding political attitudes about social issues. Religious organizations provide a particular atmosphere for civic development as these institutions and their members often have unique political outlooks. Youth who are associated with religious organizations (i.e. institutional religion), feel connected to a higher power (i.e. spirituality), or have certain religious beliefs (i.e. religious conservatism) may hold specific political attitudes about social issues including capital punishment, euthanasia, abortion, and environmentalism. Further, Social Domain Theory posits that informational assumptions, or …
Optimizing Indoor Location Based Tracking Through Proper Filter Selection And Wireless Sensor Network Design, Matthew R. Bergman
Optimizing Indoor Location Based Tracking Through Proper Filter Selection And Wireless Sensor Network Design, Matthew R. Bergman
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
Indoor positioning system (IPS) is a topic that is coming up more and more for various reasons, such as allowing companies to track important objects using radio frequency identification (RFID) and employees with Bluetooth devices inside a facility. Geofencing is one of the biggest topics with IPS and is meant to limit access to a network in specified areas. Devices that incorporate indoor tracking are not initially precise when objects and employees are on the move. This movement requires devices to have a reliable filter for noise and package lose. For this paper, the comparison between extended Kalman filters and …
Understanding Transgender Prejudice Through The Lens Of Emotion, Holly N. Fitzgerald
Understanding Transgender Prejudice Through The Lens Of Emotion, Holly N. Fitzgerald
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
Transgender individuals report facing incidents of discrimination often in all aspects of their lives (James et al., 2016). A potential way to combat the discrimination transgender people face is through reducing transgender prejudice. However, it is not yet known what comprises transgender prejudice. Some research has found that emotions may be the more predominant determinant of prejudice, as opposed to stereotypes (Dasgupta, Desteno, Williams, & Hunsinger, 2009; Haddock, Zanna, & Esses, 1993a; Smith, 1993). Thus, the present research sought to identify the specific emotions associated with transgender prejudice. In Study 1, participants completed explicit and implicit measures of prejudice and …

A Lab-Based Study Of N95 Ffrs Against Cigarette Smoke Under Varying Concentrations And Sealing Conditions, Jacob Davis
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
Respirators are a common form of protection when working in environments where workers are exposed to harmful agents. One exposure that has not been rigorously tested is cigarette smoke. Air sampling was conducted to test the effectiveness of four different respirators N95 Respirators for various concentrations of cigarette smoke and seal conditions and for different respirators. The Moldex 2200, Moldex 2300 (exhalation valve), Gerson 1730, and 3M 8210V (Exhalation valve) were used for testing. The set concentrations were 100,000: 200,000: and 400,000 cm3 with an error allowance of 20% for each concentration. Different flow rates (15, 30, 50, and 85 …

Integrated Sensing Systems For On-Orbit Robotic Satellite Servicing Applications, Eric Loy
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
There are a variety of stakeholders when it comes to space (the military, other governmental entities, private sector companies, consumers, the scientific community, etc.), and they would all prefer the operational lives of their satellites, observatories, space stations, and other assets to be maximized. Out of the large number of assets in space, only a few were designed with serviceability as a goal. The ability to service "non-cooperative" satellites is an ongoing project being investigated by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) and Satellite Servicing Projects Division (SSPD), along with other industrial partners. This …
Three Essays On Public Information And Security Prices., Chen Gu
Three Essays On Public Information And Security Prices., Chen Gu
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
This dissertation includes three essays examining the role of public information in financial markets. The first essay examines informed trading before natural gas inventory announcements. Natural gas futures prices start moving in the “right” direction about 90 minutes before the announcement. The empirical results show that the difference between the median forecast of analysts with high historical forecasting accuracy and the consensus forecast can be used to predict inventory surprises and some of the pre-announcement drift. Because both individual analyst forecasts and consensus are available to Bloomberg subscribers prior to official release time, our results suggest that informed trading before …
Machine Learning Approaches To Human Body Shape Analysis, Marco Piccirilli
Machine Learning Approaches To Human Body Shape Analysis, Marco Piccirilli
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
Soft biometrics, biomedical sciences, and many other fields of study pay particular attention to the study of the geometric description of the human body, and its variations. Although multiple contributions, the interest is particularly high given the non-rigid nature of the human body, capable of assuming different poses, and numerous shapes due to variable body composition. Unfortunately, a well-known costly requirement in data-driven machine learning, and particularly in the human-based analysis, is the availability of data, in the form of geometric information (body measurements) with related vision information (natural images, 3D mesh, etc.). We introduce a computer graphics framework able …
