Force transduction through the bacterial cell envelope by Williams-Jones, D

“…Through use of mutagenesis, fluorescence microscopy, and live cell assays, I demonstrate that system function can be modulated by altering the secondary structure of the periplasm spanning transducer protein, TolA. I also examine the cell-wide implications of reducing TolA function in such a manner, with respect to membrane stability and cell division (chapter three). …”

Privacy: a political approach by Bogue, RC

“…An examination of four historic reformulations of what it means to be private, spanning two thousand years of western history, confirms that privacy has shifted considerably over time and that attempts to essentialize it are misplaced. …”

Kazhdan-Laumon Categories and Representations by Morton-Ferguson, Calder

“…After Bezrukavnikov and Polishchuk’s counterexample to Kazhdan and Laumon’s original conjecture, Polishchuk made an alternative conjecture: though the counterexample shows that the Grothendieck group K₀(A) is not spanned by objects of finite projective dimension, he noted that a graded version of K₀(A) can be thought of as a module over Laurent polynomials and conjectured that a certain localization of this module is generated by objects of finite projective dimension. …”

Essays on oil price fluctuations, financial markets and international trade by Le, Thai Ha

“…The long-run causality running from oil price to overall, oil and non-oil trade balances and their short-run dynamics are investigated by applying the Toda-Yamamoto’s 1995 (TY) causality approach and generalized impulse response functions (IRFs), respectively to the monthly data spanning from January 1999 to November 2011. Three Asian economies that represent three distinct characteristics in terms of oil are chosen and examined: Malaysia as an oil exporter, Singapore as an oil refinery and Japan as an oil importer. …”

Laplacian embedded regression for scalable manifold regularization by Chen, Lin, Tsang, Ivor Wai-Hung, Xu, Dong

“…Inspired by kernel principal component analysis, we further propose to project the introduced decision variable into a subspace spanned by a few eigenvectors of the graph Laplacian matrix in order to better reflect the data manifold, as well as accelerate the calculation of the graph kernel, allowing our methods to efficiently and effectively cope with large scale SSL problems. …”
