Smart-Grid: Technology And The Psychology Of Environmental Behavior Change, Stephanie M. Stern
Smart-Grid: Technology And The Psychology Of Environmental Behavior Change, Stephanie M. Stern
Chicago-Kent Law Review
There is a schism in the legal scholarship between scholars who argue that value, norm, and information campaigns can induce pro-environmental behavior and those who contend that structural, psychological, and social forces sharply constrain behavior change. Both sides of this debate have neglected the critical and ever-increasing role of technology in addressing residential pollution. The example of electricity "smart grids" illustrates how technology engineered to override cognitive and behavioral limitations can comprehensively reduce household consumption and emissions. Electricity conservation suffers from multiple barriers to collective action, including large numbers of geographically dispersed polluters, low financial payoffs, and, the contribution of …
Innovation And Tradition In Lisan Wang’S Piano Suite Other Hill, Rongjie Xu
Innovation And Tradition In Lisan Wang’S Piano Suite Other Hill, Rongjie Xu
Glenn Korff School of Music: Dissertations, Theses, Student Creative Work, and Performances
Lisan Wang is one of the most celebrated musical figures in China. His five-movement piano suite Other Hill (1980) is the composer’s response to the “New Wave”, a compositional trend generated in China after the 1977 Cultural Revolution. Gaining fame as a piano composition for showing the application of multiculturalism and syncretism to music, Other Hill is regarded as a prime example of cross-cultural piano composition in China. Wang challenges Chinese traditional piano composition with different artistic media—philosophy, calligraphy, poems, and various folk elements in Other Hill. This document proposes an interdisciplinary study of Lisan Wang’s musical fusion of …

Transparency Soup: The Acta Negotiating Process And "Black Box" Lawmaking, David S. Levine
Joint PIJIP/TLS Research Paper Series
The negotiations of the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) have been marred by a level of attempted secrecy heretofore unseen in international intellectual property lawmaking. Simultaneously, the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) has been used in several significant national contexts to prevent the disclosure of data and information in ways that call into question its efficacy as an effective regulation of governmental knowledge. This paper seeks to tie together these two recent developments in order to (a) prevent future international intellectual property law negotiations from being unduly secret and (b) encourage Congress to consider reforming FOIA in light of current public …

The Specific Interactions Between Dendritic Cells And Porphyromonas Gingivalis, Amir Emanuel Zeituni
The Specific Interactions Between Dendritic Cells And Porphyromonas Gingivalis, Amir Emanuel Zeituni
Stony Brook Theses and Dissertations Collection, 2006-2020 (closed to submissions)
The broad objective of this dissertation is to elucidate the specific interactions between Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) and dendritic cells (DCs). P. gingivalis is a black pigmented, anaerobic, Gram-negative bacterium that is associated with most cases of chronic periodontitis. P. gingivalis expresses a myriad of virulence factors, most notably, fimbrial adhesins that enable it to bind to and invade host epithelial cells, endothelial cells, macrophages and DCs. While much is known about the 41 kDa major fimbria adhesins of P. gingivalis, the minor fimbriae have received little attention. The results presented here suggest that the minor fimbriae may serve as …

Life After Beanbag Genetics: Theoretical And Empirical Studies On Epistasis And Penetrance, Joseph Lachance
Life After Beanbag Genetics: Theoretical And Empirical Studies On Epistasis And Penetrance, Joseph Lachance
Stony Brook Theses and Dissertations Collection, 2006-2020 (closed to submissions)
Population genetics reduces the description of a population to a set of genotype frequencies. Because of this, it has been called"beanbag genetics.". However, greater complexity and biological realism can be incorporated into this framework. Two examples of this include interactions between different genes (epistasis) and individuals with the same genotype that have different phenotypes (incomplete penetrance). During the course of my Ph.D. work, both of these topics were investigated using theoretical population genetics and Drosophila genetics. One unifying theme was that genes do not exist in isolation: they occur within genetic and environmental contexts. In turn, these contexts were found …

Moi Et Plus Que Moi : Absence And Presence In · La Recherche Du Temps Perdu, Carlie Marie Anglemire
Stony Brook Theses and Dissertations Collection, 2006-2020 (closed to submissions)
For Marcel Proust's narrator of · la recherche du temps perdu, the"moi et plus-que-moi," this excess of being of friends, family, and lovers, is an essential element of life that he does not want to escape as long as an exploration of the creative depth of his personal identity is not irrevocably barred. Although he expresses a longing to abscond from others in order to have aesthetically rich experiences and articulates the cynical view that we are mere caricatures of ourselves with friends and in relationships, he also expresses the anxiety of waiting for someone to arrive, the feeling of …

Tools To Enrich User Experience During"Visual Analysis", Supriya Garg
Stony Brook Theses and Dissertations Collection, 2006-2020 (closed to submissions)
Visual Analytics is the integration of interactive visualization with analysis techniques to help answer questions, and find interesting"patterns" in a given dataset. This approach is useful in cases where human knowledge and intuition is required. Further, with the increasing size of data, an interactive visual interface can give the user control over what she wants to see. Towards this end, we develop a Visual Analytics (VA) infrastructure, rooted on techniques in machine learning and logic-based deductive reasoning. This system assists people in making sense of large, complex data sets by facilitating the generation and validation of models representing relationships in …
Traffic Scene Understanding Using Sound-Based Localization, Svm Classification And Clustering, Shreyas Kodasara Rajagopal
Traffic Scene Understanding Using Sound-Based Localization, Svm Classification And Clustering, Shreyas Kodasara Rajagopal
Stony Brook Theses and Dissertations Collection, 2006-2020 (closed to submissions)
The thesis is about an embedded system application aimed at identifying the semantics of traffic based on acoustic data. Sound localization, classification and clustering are used for scene understanding. The report presents a set of experiments used to simulate different traffic scenarios. An alternative implementation for sound localization is also explored, where fixed point representation of rational numbers is used instead of floating point numbers. The results for both the implementations are compared in terms of execution speed and accuracy for a Programmable System-on-Chip (PSoC). | 43 pages

Corporate Social Responsibility In The Oil And Gas Industry: The Importance Of Reputational Risk, David B. Spence
Corporate Social Responsibility In The Oil And Gas Industry: The Importance Of Reputational Risk, David B. Spence
Chicago-Kent Law Review
Modern oil and gas production takes place in environments that are increasingly challenging, environments that pose very high levels of technical risk, as well as political, social, environmental, heal and safety risks. The people of the oil-rich nations of the world are growing more assertive politically and more sensitive to the environmental, health, and safety risks posed by oil and gas development. Governments, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), and local people seek the means to control oil and gas development so as to minimize the risk of harm and provide redress in the event harm is done. Oil and gas companies have …

Of Nesting Dolls And Trojan Horses: A Survey Of Legal And Policy Issues Attendant To Vehicle-To-Grid Battery Electric Vehicles, Bryan Lamble
Chicago-Kent Law Review
2010 will not be remembered as the year when the domestic energy landscape changed, dominated as it was by environmental catastrophe and human calamity and tragedy caused by the search for and extraction of traditional fossil fuels. In fact, clean(er) energy and greater efficiency seem, in some ways, to be less of a reality at the beginning of the second decade of the twenty-first century than many would have predicted (and hoped). Furthermore, a contentious mid-term election season (stoked by fears of massive deficits, rising national debt and ballooning government) dominated the headlines at the expense of what could prove …

Representing the complex data in a concise and accurate way is a special stage in data mining methodology. Redundant and noisy data affects generalization power of any classification algorithm, undermines the results of any clustering algorithm and finally encumbers the monitoring of large dynamic systems. This work provides several efficient approaches to all aforementioned sides of the analysis. We established, that notable difference can be made, if the results from the theory of ensembles of random matrices are employed. Particularly important result of our study is a discovered family of methods based on projecting the data set on different subsets …

Testing The Use Of Molluscs To Infer Climate With Special Reference To The Late Cenozoic Molluscs Of The Meade Basin, Southwest Kansas., Brian William Steffen 1975-
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Twenty-six fossil assemblages of land and freshwater molluscs from the Pliocene to the present, were collected from locations near the town of Meade, Kansas, U.S.A. and were analyzed (along with the extant molluscan fauna of Meade County, Kansas) to look for changes in molluscan diversity through time. The fossil assemblages were analyzed for two reasons: I) to test the hypothesis that diversity (measured as taxonomic richness, dominance, turnover and habitat type) did not change through the five million years of this study (HOI); and 2) to test the hypothesis that there is no relationship between the taxonomic composition of a …
