Arnold © 2020 Andrew J. Arnold Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2020 The dissertation of Andrew J. Arnold was reviewed and approved by the following: Thomas Jackson Professor of Electrical Engineering Co-Chair of Committee Saptarshi Das Assistant Professor of Engineering Science and Mechanics Dissertation Advisor Co-Chair of Committee Swaroop Ghosh Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering Rongming Chu Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering Sukwon Choi Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering Kultegin Aydin Professor of Electrical Engineering Head of the Department of Electrical Engineering ii Abstract The scaling of silicon field effect transistors (FETs) has progressed exponentially following Moore’s law, and is nearing fundamental limitations related to the materials and physics of the devices. Alternative materials are required to overcome these limitations leading to increasing interest in two dimensional (2D) materials, and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) in particular, due to their atomically thin nature which provides an advantage in scalability. Numerous investigations within the literature have explored various applications of these materials and assessed their viability as a replacement for silicon FETs. This dissertation focuses on several applications of 2D FETs as well as an exploration into one of the most promising methods to improve their performance. Neuromorphic computing is an alternative method to standard computing architectures that operates similarly to a biological nervous system. These systems are composed of neurons and operate based on pulses called action potentials.

  • Mate Preferences and Matching Outcomes in Online Dating∗
    What Makes You Click? — Mate Preferences and Matching Outcomes in Online Dating∗ Günter J. Hitsch Ali Hortaçsu Dan Ariely University of Chicago University of Chicago MIT Graduate School of Business Department of Economics Sloan School of Management April 2006 Abstract This paper uses a novel data set obtained from an online dating service to draw inferences on mate preferences and to investigate the role played by these preferences in determining match outcomes and sorting patterns. The empirical analysis is based on a detailed record of the site users’ attributes and their partner search, which allows us to estimate a rich preference specification that takes into account a large number of partner characteristics. Our revealed preference estimates complement many pre- vious studies that are based on survey methods. In addition, we provide evidence on mate preferences that people might not truthfully reveal in a survey, in particular regarding race preferences. In order to examine the quantitative importance of the estimated preferences in the formation of matches, we simulate match outcomes using the Gale-Shapley algorithm and examine the resulting correlations in mate attributes. The Gale-Shapley algorithm predicts the online sorting patterns well. Therefore, the match outcomes in this online dating market appear to be approximately efficient in the Gale-Shapley sense. Using the Gale-Shapley algorithm, we also find that we can predict sorting patterns in actual marriages if we exclude the unobservable utility component in our preference specification when simulating match outcomes. One possible explanation for this finding suggests that search frictions play a role in the formation of marriages.

  • Male-Taller and Male-Not-Too-Tall Norms in Taiwan

This study confirmed the prevalence of the male-taller and the male-not-too-tall norms in Taiwan. The frequency of the height difference between a husband and wife within the range of 5–15 cm was higher than what would be expected by chance. This range in Taiwan was smaller than the range in the United Kingdom, which may imply that there are preferred height differences between couples that vary across populations.

  • Aesthetic Spaces in the Fiction of Dh
    THE MAKING OF BEAUTY: AESTHETIC SPACES IN THE FICTION OF D. H. LAWRENCE, MURIEL SPARK, AND VIRGINIA WOOLF A Dissertation by JOORI LEE Submitted to the Office of Graduate Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Mary Ann O’Farrell Committee Members, Emily Johansen Kate Kelly Kristi Sweet Head of Department, Nancy Warren August 2013 Major Subject: English Copyright 2013 Joori Lee ABSTRACT This dissertation rethinks textual images of the other’s beauty, depicted in works by D. H. Lawrence, Muriel Spark, and Virginia Woolf, whose fascination with the other, called by this dissertation the beloved, urged them to inscribe the beloved’s original beauty in texts. Their works make perceptible the singularity of the beloved, while revealing the writers’ predicament in translating the beloved’s ineffability in texts. Taking the untranslatability of the beloved into consideration, this dissertation traces the ways in which these writers’ texts capture the beloved’s original beauty at moments of revelation, related to epiphanies entering the terrain of literary modernism. My study thereby scrutinizes the dynamics of images of beauty and their impacts on art and politics in the context of modernism. In doing so, I argue that the texts I consider express the beloved’s singularity in challenge of the beautified images that many other artists invented for self-directed purposes in the early and mid-twentieth century. First, I explore Lawrence’s creation of aesthetic spaces in Lady Chatterley’s Lover (1928) in keeping with his desire for making palpable visual spectacles through the text.

SHORTSTATURE IN CAUCASIANMALES: PERSONALITYCORRELATES AND SOCIAL ATTRIBUTION BY LESLIE F. MARTEL A DISSERTATIONSUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENTOF THE REQUIREMENTSFOR THE DEGREEOF DOCTOROF PHILOSOPY IN PSYCHOLOGY UNIVERSITYOF RHODEISLAND 1985 ABSTRACT Given the advent of genetically engineered hwnan growth hormone, there is a pressing need to better understand the personality corre­ lates and impact of short stature in males. One hundred-twenty college­ age Caucasian males of short, average and tall stature were administered measures of self-concept, body-cathexis, psychological security, and a semantic-differential measure. In addition, a questionnaire regarding the importance of height in daily life was also included. The broadly-based literature ~eview strongly suggests that short stature in males is a distinct developmental and social liability. The results of the present study supported the first prediction that short subjects would feel significantly less positive about their bodies than their taller peers. The average-height and tall subjects did not differ significantly from each other regarding their overall feelings about their bodies.

I would especially like to thank Professor Neilson for advising and supporting me over the course of two years, and for always encouraging me to take my scholarship one step further. Thank you as well to the other members of my Honors committee, Professor James Hansen and Professor Catherine Scallen (Case Western Reserve University), for your excellent insights and advice.
