In this thesis, some statistical properties of two interesting problems are studied. The first one is about non-stationary central limit theorems. We establish central limit theorems for a sequence of nested balls ...

The Piano Concerto in E-flat Major, op.73, completed in 1811, represents Beethoven's fifth and final contribution to this genre. This paper investigates the first movement of the Fifth Piano Concerto in light of the heroic ...

Although sleep-related parenting behaviors (e.g., involvement in bedtime routines) have been demonstrated to contribute to sleep problems in infants and school-age children, few studies have investigated how daytime parenting ...

High-performance computing systems are growing toward hundreds-of-thousands to million-node machines, utilizing the computing power of billions of cores. Running parallel applications on such large machines efficiently ...

My study summarizes the current GNSS geodetic infrastructure in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM) region, which consists of three fundamental components: 1) an existing dense Continuously Operating Reference Station (CORS) network ...

The zebrafish is an outstanding model for in-vivo imaging of inflammation due to its optical translucency and the ability of transgenic lines to express fluorescent proteins under specific promoters. Furthermore, the immune ...

Hydraulic fracturing in areas of natural gas production has been the cause of several environmental issues, notably among them is groundwater contamination. Proponents of hydraulic fracturing argue the improbability of ...

Skeletal muscle atrophy, deconditioning, and decreased function are consequences of skeletal muscle unloading induced by reduced physical activity, bed rest, and space flight. Reduced sensory input, particularly from the ...

In this dissertation, we study the geometric character of structured Parseval frames, which are families of vectors that provide perfect Hilbert space reconstruction. Equiangular Parseval frames (EPFs) satisfy that the ...

Grounded in Cultivation Theory and Critical Race Theory, this study investigates The George Lopez Show and American Family with specific focus on Latinos and their portrayal in American television. This study represents a ...
