    Nonnegative matrices have a myriad of applications in the biological, social, and physical genres. Of particular importance are the primitive matrices. A nonnegative matrix, M, is primitive exactly when there is a positive integer, k, such that M[superscript k] has only positive entries; that is, all the entries in M[superscript...

  • Reactions of organoboranes

    Creator:
    Thompson, Thomas Myron
    Abstract:
    An examination was made of some reactions involving a transfer of carbon from boron to carbon. In the case of the reaction of a C[subscript n] alkylorganoborane with dichlorocarbene the intermediate was a C[subscript n]₊₁ chloroalkylorganoborane. Oxidation of this intermediate yielded an homologous acid (33%) and the usual alcohol (66%)....

    Creator:
    White, Benjamin A.
    Abstract:
    This thesis explores some of the ethical issues pertaining to the use of so-called radical enhancement technology. Key concepts analyzed include “normal function”, “human being”, and “personhood.” I argue that the use of these key concepts in the debate thus far has lacked philosophical rigor, and that a reexamination of...

  • Moral Truth and Hume's Fork: The Prospects of Reconciliation

    Creator:
    Embleton, Clark A.
    Abstract:
    Hume’s division of truth into agreement with matters of fact or relations of ideas casts doubt on our capacity to have moral knowledge, as moral propositions do not seem to fall obviously into either category. This thesis looks at how two views, ‘descriptive moral functionalism’ and ‘moral concept essentialism’, try...

  • Modeling sage-grouse habitat using a state-and-transition model

    Creator:
    Evers, Louisa
    Abstract:
    Habitat for wildlife species that depend on sagebrush ecosystems is of great management concern. Evaluating how management activities and climate change may affect the abundance of moderate and high-quality habitat necessitates the development of models that examine vegetation dynamics, but modeling tools for rangeland systems are limited. I developed state-and-transition...
