Abstract:

The majority of text mining systems rely on bag-of-words approaches, representing textual documents as multi-sets of their constituent words. Using term weighting mechanisms, this simple representation allows to derive features that can be used as input by many different algorithms and for a variety of applications, including document classification, information retrieval, sentiment analysis, etc. Since the performance of many mining algorithms directly depend on term weights, techniques for quantifying term importance are of paramount importance in text processing.

This thesis explores how students can come to understand the relationships between evidence, theory and logic within the field of science. I develop the role of the study of paradox as a teaching practice. I seek to ascertain the role that this type of study offers the development of students’ evidentiary logic and I question whether studying paradoxes can enhance students’ capacity to articulate their understandings.

This thesis focuses on the usage of military drones, a type of semi-autonomous weapon, which has shifted the premises of conventional warfare, particularly relating to the ethics and legality of warfare.

Drawing on Graham Allison’s work on the factors that influence U.S. foreign policy decision making, I theorize that civilian collateral casualties are more likely under certain conditions.

Abstract:

This thesis deals with the long-term planning of electric energy systems. Such systems are defined by complex interconnections of end-uses, energy conversion devices and natural resources. The planning process is usually guided by a number of design criteria, namely, economic, social and environmental impacts as well as system reliability and efficiency. The planning challenge is to find an acceptable compromise among these often conflicting objectives. System efficiency is a critical design criterion normally measuring the ratio of the system output and input energies. In electric energy syst

Predicting drug concentrations in the blood and at the site of action is the hottest topic in pharmacokinetics (PK). In vitro-in vivo extrapolation (IVIVE) and physiological based pharmacokinetics (PBPK) models are two major PK prediction strategies. However, both IVIVE and PBPK models are considered as immature methodologies due to their poor predictability. The goal of the research is to investigate the discrepancies within IVIVE and PBPK predictions according to first-principles: convection, diffusion, metabolism, and carrier-mediated transport.

Abstract:

The role of the Anthropic Principle in astrophysics and cosmology is examined in two principal parts. The first (minor) part takes a chiefly philosophical perspective and examines the manner in which human cognition features into discussions on cosmic origins. It is shown that the philosophical questions raised by the Anthropic Principle and ‘fine-tuning of life’ bear resemblances to problems within the philosophy of mind and we seek a common origin for this surprising parallel. A form of ‘epistemic structural realism’ is defended and used to critique the physicalist identity thesis. It is arg

This thesis explores the political reformation of “faction” in the political thought of Montesquieu, David Hume, and Edmund Burke, three thinkers whose works span what Pierre Manent calls “an exquisite moment of liberalism.” It examines the transformation of faction from one based largely on class to one based largely on political function and argues that as the political emphasis of “party” overtook that of class, a disconnect in constitutional theory appeared between the principles formerly associated with class, such as honor, and the principles now associated with parties.

In broadest terms, this thesis is concerned to answer the question of whether the view that arithmetic is analytic can be maintained consistently. Lest there be much suspense, I will conclude that it can. Those who disagree claim that accounts which defend the analyticity of arithmetic are either unable to give a satisfactory account of the foundations of mathematics due to the incompleteness theorems, or, if steps are taken to mitigate incompleteness, then the view loses the ability to account for the applicability of mathematics in the sciences. I will show that this criticism is not success

Abstract:

Traditional views of grammatical theory hold that languages are characterised by sets of constructions. This approach entails the enumeration of all possible constructions for each language being described. Current theories of transformational generative grammar have established an alternative position. Specifically, Chomsky's Government-Binding theory proposes a system of principles which are common to human language. Such a theory is referred to as a "Universal Grammar"(UG). Associated with the principles of grammar are parameters of variation which account for the diversity of human languag

Abstract:

This research is a historical-exegetical analysis of Hegel’s reformulation of Kant’s regulative principle of teleology into a constitutive principle. Kant ascribes teleology to the faculty of reflective judgment where it is employed as a guide to regulate inquiry, but does not constitute actual knowledge. Hegel argues that if Kant made teleology into a constitutive principle then it would be a much more comprehensive theory capable of overcoming contingency in natural science, and hence, bridging the gap between natural science and theology. In this paper I argue that Hegel’s defense of the tr

The system is closed on the basis of the maximum entropy principle and includes scattering of electrons with acoustic and non-polar optical phonons.
