Abstract:
This thesis is concerned with the project which J.N. Findlay has called absolute-theory (see his book <i>Ascent to the Absolute</i> London: George Allen and Unwin 1970, and his article 'Bradley's contribution to Absolute-theory' in <i>The Philosophy of F.H.Bradley</i> edited by Guy Stock and Anthony Manser, Oxford: Clarendon 1984). In absolute-theory one is concerned with (1) determining the abstract or formal characteristics, the form as it were, of the fundamental existent or existents on which all things depend, and (ii) evaluating the candidates that might be said to fit the abstract form.

Ridge, Katerina. "Absolute asymmetric synthesis." Thesis, University of Surrey, 2007. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.493053.

Full text
Abstract:
One possible way of achieving absolute asymmetric synthesis is by "freezing" the chirality of a molecule by crystaUisation. This work is a study of the synthesis of :ertain imides which have potential for axial chirality and are likely to undergo spontaneous resolution on crystallisation. The synthesis starts from achiral compounds and therefore, if it does yield chiral crystals by spontaneous resolution, it can be classified as absolute asymmetric synthesis.

Abstract:
This thesis concerns the potential use of auditory virtual reality (A VR) in safety-critical situations. Localization accuracy is essential in many VR situations, such as simulated cockpits, where vision is fully occupied and targets must be signified acoustically. However, the errors reported for localizing 3D sounds varies considerably in the literature and some (e.g. Wightman & Kistler, 1989; Wenzel et aI, 1993) report fairly large errors. This thesis consists of an evaluation of the use of acoustic cues to indicate the location of certain targets. A Knowles Electronic Manikin for Acoustic

Abstract:
This thesis is concerned with the debate between absolutists and relativists about generality. Absolutists about quantification contend that we can quantify over absolutely everything; relativists deny this. The introduction motivates and elucidates the dispute. More familiar, restrictionist versions of relativism, according to which the range of quantifiers is always subject to restriction, are distinguished from the view defended in this thesis, an expansionist version of relativism, according to which the range of quantifiers is always open to expansion.

Abstract:
The ability to produce mirrors for large astronomical telescopes is limited by the accuracy of the systems used to test the surfaces of such mirrors. Typically the mirror surfaces are measured by comparing their actual shapes to a precision master, which may be created using combinations of mirrors, lenses, and holograms. The work presented here develops several optical testing techniques that do not rely on a large or expensive precision, master reference surface. In a sense these techniques provide absolute optical testing.The Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT) has been designed with a 350 m2

Abstract:
The main problem this thesis deals with is the characterization of profinite groups which are realizable as absolute Galois groups of fields: this is currently one of the major problems in Galois theory. Usually one reduces the problem to the pro-p case, i.e., one would like to know which pro-p groups occur as maximal pro-p Galois groups, i.e., maximal pro-p quotients of absolute Galois groups. Indeed, pro-p groups are easier to deal with than general profinite groups, yet they carry a lot of information on the whole absolute Galois group. We define a new class of pro-p groups, called Bloch-K

On the other, in many cases a henselian valuation imposes a certain structure on an absolute Galois group which makes it easier to study. We are particularly interested in the question of when a field admits a non-trivial parameter-free definable henselian valuation.
