Here, by combining recent parity-violating electron-deuteron scattering data with our current understanding of parton distribution functions, the author shows that one can limit this model dependence. The resulting construction is a robust model of the ?? and ?Z structure functions that can also be used to study a variety of low-energy phenomena. Two such cases are discussed in this work, namely, the nucleon?s electromagnetic polarizabilities and quark-hadron duality.          By using phenomenological information to constrain the input structure functions, this important but previously poorly understood radiative correction is determined at the kinematics of the parity-violating experiment, QWEAK, to a degree of precision more than twice that of the previous best estimate.   A detailed investigation into available parametrizations of the electromagnetic and interference cross-sections indicates that earlier analyses suffered from the inability to correctly quantify their model dependence. 410 0$aSpringer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,$x2190-5053 606 $aParticles (Nuclear physics) 606 $aQuantum field theory 606 $aMathematical physics 606 $aElementary Particles, Quantum Field Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P23029 606 $aTheoretical, Mathematical and Computational Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19005 615 0$aParticles (Nuclear physics) 615 0$aQuantum field theory. 615 0$aMathematical physics. 615 14$aElementary Particles, Quantum Field Theory. 615 24$aTheoretical, Mathematical and Computational Physics. 676 $a530 700 $aHall$b Nathan L$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0805099 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254621103321 996 $aHadron Structure in Electroweak Precision Measurements$92522526 997 $aUNINA
