  • Resampling Residuals on Phylogenetic Trees: Extended Results Peter J
    Resampling Residuals on Phylogenetic Trees: Extended Results Peter J. Waddell1, Ariful Azad2 and Ishita Khan2 [email protected] 1Department of Biological Sciences, Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN 47906, U.S.A. 2Department of Computer Science, Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN 47906, U.S.A . In this article the results of Waddell and Azad (2009) are extended. In particular, the geometric percentage mean standard deviation measure of the fit of distances to a phylogenetic tree are adjusted for the number of parameters fitted on the tree. The formulae are also presented in their general form for any weight that is a function of the distance. The cell line gene expression data set of Ross et al. (2000) is reanalyzed. It is shown that ordinary least squares (OLS) is a much better fit to the data than a Neighbor Joining or BME tree. Residual resampling shows that cancer cell lines do indeed fit a tree fairly well and that the tree does have strong internal structure. Simulations show that least squares tree building methods, including OLS, are strong competitors with BME type methods for fitting model data, while real world examples often suggest the same conclusion. “… his ignorance and almost doe-like naivety is keeping his mind receptive to a possible solution.” A quotation from Kryten: Red Dwarf VIII-Cassandra Keywords: Resampled Residual Bootstrap, flexi-Weighted Least Squares Phylogenetic Trees fWLS, Balanced Minimum Evolution BME, Phylogenomics, Gene Expression Tree Waddell, Azad and Khan (2010).

The Death of Tragedy: Examining Nietzsche’s Return to the Greeks Brian Long 1 Thesis Introduction In the study of philosophy, there are many dichotomies: Eastern philosophy versus Western philosophy, analytic versus continental, and so on. But none of these is as fundamental as the struggle between the ancients and the moderns. With the writings of Descartes, and perhaps even earlier with those of Machiavelli, there was a transition from “man in the world” to “man above the world.” Plato’s dialogues, Aristotle’s lecture notes, and the verses of the pre- Socratics are abandoned for having the wrong focus. No longer did philosophers seek to observe and question nature and man’s place in it; now the goal was mastery and possession of nature.

  • The Functions of the Minimalist Technique in Film Scores
    Copyright by Rebecca Marie Doran Eaton 2008 The Dissertation Committee for Rebecca Marie Doran Eaton certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Unheard Minimalisms: The Functions of the Minimalist Technique in Film Scores Committee: ____________________________________ Eric Drott, Supervisor ____________________________________ Byron Almén ____________________________________ James Buhler ____________________________________ Edward Pearsall ____________________________________ Charles Ramírez Berg Unheard Minimalisms: The Functions of the Minimalist Technique in Film Scores by Rebecca Marie Doran Eaton, B.A.; M.M. Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Texas at Austin May 2008 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS First, I would like to thank my committee, whose insightful comments have helped me shape this work. Special recognition goes to Dr. Almén, whose copyediting expertise has kept me from committing several grammatical gaffes, and Dr. Buhler, whose approach to film music has informed my own. I owe a deep debt of gratitude to my supervisor, Dr. Eric Drott, whose keen—and always timely—critiques have steered my dissertation toward one with both breadth and analytical depth. I would also like to thank the entire theory department at UT Austin. Its support though T.A. and A.I. positions has helped me hone my pedagogical craft, while the Kent Kennan fellowship has allowed me to finish my dissertation in a timely manner. Thanks must also be given for the collegial atmosphere—especially amongst my fellow students—which made attending UT a delight. My family, of course, has been the basis for my success.
