1. Linear response theory : from black hole thermalization to Weyl semimetals
Abstract : Linear response theory is an incredibly powerful calculation tool. We apply this framework in quantum field theory to a variety of models originated from distinct areas in theoretical physics and for different reasons. READ MORE

2. The Measurement of Subjective Well-Being: Item Response Theory, Classical Test Theory, and Multidimensional Item Response Theory
Abstract : For over 35 years, modern science has conceptualized happiness as subjective well-being, which has until recently been understood as a dual construct consisting of an affective component (positive and negative affect) and a cognitive component (life satisfaction). Nevertheless, for the last five years, theoretical work and both quantitative and qualitative empirical work have suggested that the concept of subjective well-being omits both a lay and an Eastern way of understanding happiness.

3. Some binary response situations : theory and applications
Abstract : In a binary response situation we are studying an event which either occurs or does not occur. Such situations are treated in the following five reports. In report I, there is a review of different statistical models and analysis methods for, in particular, nonexperimental surveys. READ MORE

4. Extending relativistic linear response theory to address solvent effects
Abstract : The central aim of this thesis is to derive, implement and test new methods to calculate various types of spectroscopies of compounds containing heavy elements in an aqueous environment. Methods that can target such systems have to consider the following:(i) It is crucial to take relativistic effects into account. READ MORE

5. Fatigue Assessment and Extreme Response Prediction of Ship Structures
Abstract : In this thesis, a simplified narrow-band approximation model is proposed to estimate fatigue damage of ship structures, and an efficient method for extreme response predictions is also developed using upcrossing spectrums of ship responses. The proposed fatigue model includes two main parameters, significant stress range hs and zero upcrossing frequency fz. READ MORE
