Date Approved Acknowledgments The cover page of this dissertation claims this to be the work of just one person. Nothing could be further from the truth. Neither this nor anything else I have achieved is due solely to me. I would first like to thank my family, whose love, sacrifice and support brought me here, and my fiancée Jeanine, for the love and friendship that took me through. This work, ...

I would also like to thank Peter Schock, who has been invaluable to my education and intellectual development at UNO. Finally, I am ever...

He then joined the laboratory of Eva Nogales to work on structural aspects of microtubules and kinetochores for his PhD in biophysics, and graduated from the University of California, Berkeley in 2012. Greg then moved to the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, NIH, Bethesda, as a postdoctoral fe...

We propose a novel, noninvasive experiment that reliably shows the strength of glottal oscillations. The Quasi-glottogram (QGG) signal is generated from a microphone array that is trained to approximate the electroglottogram signal. The QGG may be useful to improve estimates of whether speech is voiced, to quantify partial voicing, and to reduce the phoneme effect when measuring the amplitude o...

We propose a novel, noninvasive experiment that reliably shows the strength of glottal oscillations. The Quasi-glottogram (QGG) signal is generated from a microphone array and an electroglottogram signal. It can be used to improve estimates of whether speech is voiced, quantify partial voicing, and reduce the phoneme effect in speech signals. The technique is well adapted to the generation of t...

The literature on exchanges of information has ignored …rms’ entry decisions. Yet, the Federal Trade Commission recently expressed concerns that exchanges of information in business-to-business electronic platforms would adversely impact entry and, thus, consumers. When entry decisions are endogenized in a competitive Cournot model with cost uncertainty, we …nd results that contrast sharply wit...
