Kimberly W. Kramer
In structural steel connection design, simple shear connections are one of the most common connection types utilized. The industry, especially from the side of the engineer, tends to lean toward using Double Clip Angle Connections as the default standard for simple shear connections. A double clip angle connection is a connection consisting of two angles transferring the shear forces from one member to the next either through bolts or welds. The design of Double Clip Angle Connections is efficient and the connections themselves are easy to fabricate. However, benefits to utilizing other types of shear connections exist. Many of these benefits are seen in the fabrication shop or during erection and construction. This is especially true of single shear plate or shear tab connections when applied to open structure design. Shear tab connections consist of a single plate that transfers the shear forces from one member to the next with bolts or with welds. The design of shear tab connections can be a more involved process than the design of double clip angles. Sometimes the shear plate or shear tab has to be longer than is typical. This is called an extended shear plate connection. These extended shear plates can bring other variables into the design that typically don’t occur with Double Clip Angle Connections such as bending of the plate or the need for multiple bolt columns. However, with proper planning and detailing, the benefits and savings experienced in the fabrication or construction phase may outweigh what can be seen as a more laborious design task. The purpose of this report is to identify the possible benefits achieved in using each of these connections, highlight the differences in the design approach for each, and use a study model to compare the outcome of using one connection over another in the design of a typical open structure. Double clip angles are typically the most efficient approach when speed of design and simplicity of fabrication are the desired outcomes. However, shear plate or shear tab connections have the potential to provide safer erection alternatives and materials savings if used in appropriate ways and with the right applications.

Abstract:
Capacitive communication using human body as a electrical channel has attracted much attention in the area of personal area networks (PANs) since its introduction by Zimmerman in 1995. The reason being that the personal information and communication appliances are becoming an integral part of our daily lives. The advancement in technology is also helping a great deal in making them interesting,useful and very much affordable. If we interconnect these body-based devices with capacitive communication approach in a manner appropriate to the power, size, cost and functionality, it lessens the burden of supporting a communication channel by existing wired and wireless technologies. More than that, using body as physical communication channel for a PAN device compared to traditional radio transmission seems to have a lot of inherent advantages in terms of power and security etc. But still a lot of feasibility and reliability issues have to be addressed before it is ready for prime time. This promising technology is recently sub-classified into body area networks (BAN) and is currently under discussion in the IEEE 802.15.6 Task Group for addressing the technical requirements to unleash its full potential for BANs. This could play a part in Ericsson's envision of  50 billion connections by 2020. This thesis work is part of the main project to investigate the models, interface and derive requirements on the analog-front-end (AFE) required for the system. Also to suggest a first order model of the AFE that suits this communication system.In this thesis work the human body is modeled along with interfaces and transceiver to reflect the true condition of the system functioning. Various requirements like sensitivity, dynamic range, noise figure and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) requirements are derived based on the system model. An AFE model based on discrete components is simulated, which was later used for proof of concept. Also a first order AFE model is developed based on the requirements derived. The AFE model is simulated under the assumed interference and noise conditions. The first order requirements for the submodules of the AFE are also derived. Future work and challenges are discussed.

Abstract:

My work has a sense of artifact with a raw natural appearance. I respond to artifactual qualities of my work on a visceral and conceptual level. I see the artifact as being able to speak not just about change, but also about the history of civilizations. The connection of the natural to mechanized systems speaks of the current state of the landscape. I am interested in our civilization in the 21st century and how we interact with the landscape. We often have the best intentions in mind but in actuality we cause more harm than good. Through the tangible experiences that shape our lives we see death, decay, and rebirth. These extremes in life and nature reveal the perception of my own impermanence. I create objects representative of natural processes of time and life and depict a depleted barren future of our fragile landscape.

This paper is a conceptual, theoretical, and methodological exploration of my MFA thesis project (Dis)connections. My work combines time-based media, objects, and performance into a single installation that represents my struggles with anxiety and my desire to connect with people socially. My work is ultimately about the complexity of the structures of language and communication in all their forms and representations. I draw on research into feminist theory and gender studies as well as cultural theory as a way to ground my work in political and social issues that are continually relevant in Western culture, and to propose that by situating my stories within larger structures of power they have the ability to connect to a wider group of people.

Abstract:
Connections between music artists or songs provide a context and lineage for music and form the basis for recommendation, playlist generation, and general navigation of the musical universe. We examine the structure of the connections between music artists found on the web. It is shown that different methods of finding associations between artists yeild different net- work structures - the details of associations and how these associations are discovered impact the global structure of the artist network. This realization informs our associations framework - based on seman- tic web technologies and centered around a small RDF/OWL ontology that emphasizes the provenance and transparency of association statements. We develop the MuSim Similarity Ontology and show how, combined with the concepts of linked data, it can be used to create a distributed web-scale ecosystem for music similarity. The Similarity Ontology is evaluated against psychological models for similarity and shown to be flexible enough to accommodate each model examined. Several applications are developed based on the visualization of music artist network structures and the utilization of our associations framework along with other music-related linked data.

Abstract:
Istanbul is a city on the water and historically has been a link between East and West. Unlike most cities, ferry boats are one of the most commonly used means of travel, along with rail and bus lines. There is a contrast between the grandeur of the historic buildings as seen from the water and the unpleasantness of disembarking from the ferry, which berths at a small shed-like structure on the edge of the water which has old tires attached to piles driven into the bank of the Golden Horn. Some distance away there is a bus terminal and train stop. The paths of travel between these are unclear and the area is chaotic. Architecture has the potential to join and connect people, physical forces, the past and present at various scales. This project seeks to accomplish this connection on a particular site by building a new structure out in the water as a central focal point and joining it to rail and bus links with a tunnel and elevated covered walkways.

Abstract:
Le principal objectif de la thèse est l'étude des relations entre les différents espaces des moduIes provenant de connections sur des fibrés vectoriels sur des variétés algébriques. Les classes suivantes de connections sont considérées: la classe des connections méromorpbes avec diviseur de pôles fixè D et ses sous-classes des connections intégrables, connections logarithmiques intégrables et connections logarithmiques intégrables avec une structure parabolique sur D. La question la plus fascinante est la relation entre l'espace des modules des connections et celui des fibrés vectoriels sous-jacents. L'application naturelle oubliant la seconde composante de la paire (fibré vectoriel, connection) est bien définie uniquement au-dessus du lieu des fibrés vectoriels semistables, puisque uniquement ceux-ci ont une théorie de modules conséquente. La première partie de la thèse fournit un exemple pratique d'une famille de connections logarithmiques de rang 2 sur une courbe elliptique, pour laquelle la question de la (semi)stabiIilé des fibrés vectoriels sous-jacents est complètement résolue. Les connections logarithmiques sous considération sont les images directes de connections régulières sur des fibrés en droites au-dessus de revêtements doubles de genre 2 de la courbe elliptique, appelés bielliptiques. Nous donnons une paramétrisation explicite de telles connections, déterminons leur monodromie et leur groupe de Galois différentiel. Le fibré vectoriel sous-jacent de rang 2 est décrit en termes de transformées élémentaires et d'applications birationnelles des surfaces réglées. Dans la seconde partie, nous construisons les espaces de Kuranishi (ou déformations verselles) pour les quatre classes de connections. Les espaces tangents et les espaces d'obstructions de la théorie des déformations sont définis comme l'hypercohomologie d'un complexe approprié de faisceaux, et l'espace de Kuranishi est une fibre de l'application d'obstruction formelle. Dans la troisième partie, nous esquissons la construction de GlT des espaces des moduIes pour les quatre classes de connections et utilisons le théorème des slices étales de Luna pour représenter le germe de l'espace des moduIes des connections comme le quotient de l'espace de Kuranishi par le groupe des automorphismes de la fibre centrale. Cette méthode est utilisée pour déterminer les singularités de l'espace des modules des connections dans des exemples, en particulier, ceux provenant des courbes bielliptiques
The logarithmic connections studied in Chapter 1 are direct images of regular connections on line bundles over genus-2 double covers of the elliptic curve. We give an explicit parametrization of ail such connections, determine their monodromy, differential Galois group and the underlying rank-2 vector bundle. The latter is described in terms of elementary transforms. The question of its (semi)-stability is addressed. ln Chapter 2, we construct the Kuranishi spaces (or versai deformations) for the four connection classes: the class of meromorphic connections with fixed divisor of poles D and its subclasses of integrable. integrable logarithmic and integrable logarithmic connections with a parabolic structure over D. ln Chapter 3, we use the Kuranishi spaces to describe the local structure of the moduli spaces of connections and their relation to the moduli spaces of underlying vector bundles

Abstract:
Connections in wood have been investigated and advanced ever since the ground-breaking work of Johansen in the early nineteenth century. Nevertheless, not much investigation has been undertaken on the existence of load-displacement path dependency in a sheathing-to-framing connection. Herein, a sheathing-to-framing connection is investigated in relation to displacement path dependency. This work uses 3D Finite Element beam-on-foundation models of an Oriented Strand Board (OSB/2) sheathing nailed to a C24 wood framing, to study possible strategies to numerically simulate the displacement path dependency. The models are used to study if non-linear elastic or elastic-plastic embedment properties of an annular-ringed shank nail in the wood-based materials bring about the path dependency using Connector elements in combination with different material models in the FE software Abaqus. Numerical results are compared with corresponding experimental test results of the connection together with the Eurocode 5 approach. The outcome of the numerical study both; confirms the existence of displacement path dependency and shows that this property in the connection can be described by plasticity properties in nail, sheathing material and the wood framing.

Abstract:
I believe that through sensory connection to our natural surroundings we will reinvigorate a deeper connection with ourselves and to the environment. Architecture could become the medium to create that connection as well as the physical manifestation of our understanding of existence and of time, which facilitates this connection. This thesis seeks an understanding of self and place through our sensory connection to nature. In our modern world, we are presented with a growing amount of synthetic and manufactured surroundings that are designed to be perceived through sight, while sound, smell, taste and touch are considered secondary senses, and experiential quality is not inherent. Our society is moving farther away from a connection to nature and a connection to the earth. I believe that through sensory connection to our natural surroundings we will reinvigorate a deeper connection with ourselves and to the environment. This thesis is exploring how nature is the medium for a deeper connection and understanding of ourselves, who we are, and how we interact with the environment through sensory perception. Natural materials and practices are being replaced with synthetics, which lack the cyclical nature and life of natural materials. Machine-made products lack the ability to connect on a humanistic level due to their perpetual state of youth. "We are increasingly detaching ourselves from 'organic and functional periodicity' which is dictated by nature, and replacing it by 'mechanical periodicity' which is dictated by the schedule, the calendar, and the clock."³ These fabricated objects intensify the isolated state of man from the natural world through their constant neglect of the senses and disregard for the energies intrinsic in natural materials. It is my belief that to be able to live meaningful and impassioned lives, we must become more aware of fabricated surroundings, and return to natural environment from which we came. By refocusing on natural processes and materials in the built environment, man can reawaken the relationship we have with nature. I believe that through understanding our surrounding's impact, we can connect with not only ourselves, but the environment.

This thesis looks into the holonomy algebras of Tractor/Cartan connections for both projective and conformal structures. Using a splitting formula and a cone construction in the Einstein case, it classifies all reductive, non-irreducible holonomy groups for conformal structures (thus fully solving the question in the definite signature case). The thesis then analyses the geometric consequences of of holonomy reduction for the projective Tractor connection. A general, Ricci-flat, cone construction pertains in the projective case, and this thesis fully classifies the irreducibly acting holonomy algebras by analysing which holonomy families admit a torsion-free Ricci-flat affine connection, and constructing cones with these properties.

For an algebraic group G and a projective curve X, we study the category of D-modules on the moduli space Bung of principal G-bundles on X using ideas from conformal field theory. We describe this category in terms of the action of infinitesimal Hecke functors on the category of quasi-coherent sheaves on Bung. This family of functors, parametrized by the Ran space of X, acts by averaging a quasi-coherent sheaf over infinitesimal modifications of G-bundles at prescribed points of X. We show that sheaves which are, in a certain sense, equivariant with respect to infinitesimal Hecke functors are exactly D-modules, i.e. quasi-coherent sheaves with a flat connection. This gives a description of flat connections on a quasi-coherent sheaf on Bung which is local on the Ran space.

Johnson, Sarah Kate. "Connections in High School Writers: Affective Connections as a Writing Self-Efficacy Dimension." BYU ScholarsArchive, 2020. https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/etd/8390.

Full text
Abstract:
While scholars of writing self-efficacy (WSE) have long explored self-efficacy as multidimensional, not every crucial dimension of self-efficacy has been explored (Walker; Zumbrunn et al.; Bruning and Kauffman). Recently, scholars have called for new WSE dimensions so that scholars can better examine the contextual and relational factors of self-efficacy (Usher and Pajares 786). My thesis is one answer to this call. Using ideas from contemporary affect theory and data from an IRB-approved study on thirteen high school seniors in a language arts class, I theorize and explore a new dimension of WSE that I call affective connections. Affective connections are connections both intentional and unintentional between bodies/objects that to varying degrees stick to and influence other bodies/objects. By analyzing the study’s ethnographic data, I found that affective connections are a helpful dimension for exploring how relationships and contexts influence self-efficacy. In two particular types of affective connections—student connections to assignments and student connections to teachers—intense connections often, but not always, indicated high self-efficacy to complete tasks and skills successfully, present and generate ideas, and self-regulate. More intense connections also usually indicated less student apathy about self-efficacy tasks or skills. Yet affective connections also complicate self-efficacy. Strong connections are not inherently positive, and affective connections ultimately reveal the ever-shifting and sometimes contradictory nature of WSE. My study indicates that affective connections are an exciting, likely widely applicable dimension of self-efficacy that may bolster scholars’ understanding of self-efficacy as a highly relational and contextual concept.

Abstract:
The impact of computer-mediated communication (CMC) on relational behavior is a topic of increasing interest to communication scholars (McQuillen, 2003; Tidwell & Walther, 2002). One of the most interesting issues that CMC raises concerns the impact of CMC on relational maintenance and development. Using dialectical theory, social exchange theory, social information processing theory, and the hyperpersonal perspective as theoretical frameworks, this study used quantitative and qualitative analyses to identity potential effects of CMC on relationships. Study 1 (n=317) examined the effects of CMC on relational closeness, satisfaction, and social support. Study 2 (n=196) explored the reasons individuals provide for privileging computer-mediated forms of communication, and the perceived effects of using CMC in relational communication. Results indicated that quality of CMC predicted increased perceptions of social support and relationship satisfaction. Results further suggested that CMC enabled participants to manage more effectively relational tensions of autonomy-connection and openness-closedness. Specifically, individuals used CMC to retain higher levels of conversational control, and to maintain greater numbers of relationships with decreased levels of investment. This paper concludes with a discussion of implications and directions for future research.

The derivation of the standard model from a higher-dimensional action suggests a further study of the fibre bundle formulation of gauge theories to determine the variations in the choice of structure group that are allowed in this geometrical setting. The action of transformations on the projection of fibres to their submanifolds are characteristic of theories with fewer gauge vector bosons, and specific examples are given, which may have phenomenological relevance. The spinor space for the three generations of fermions in the standard model is described algebraically.

Abstract:
This thesis is concerned with the inverse problem of determining a unitary connection $A$ on a Hermitian vector bundle $E$ of rank $m$ over a compact Riemannian manifold $(M, g)$ from the Dirichlet-to-Neumann (DN) map $\Lambda_A$ of the associated connection Laplacian $d_A^*d_A$. The connection is to be determined up to a unitary gauge equivalence equal to the identity at the boundary. In our first approach to the problem, we restrict our attention to conformally transversally anisotropic (cylindrical) manifolds $M \Subset \mathbb{R}\times M_0$. Our strategy can be described as follows: we construct the special Complex Geometric Optics solutions oscillating in the vertical direction, that concentrate near geodesics and use their density in an integral identity to reduce the problem to a suitable $X$-ray transform on $M_0$. The construction is based on our proof of existence of Gaussian Beams on $M_0$, which are a family of smooth approximate solutions to $d_A^*d_Au = 0$ depending on a parameter $\tau \in \mathbb{R}$, bounded in $L^2$ norm and concentrating in measure along geodesics when $\tau \to \infty$, whereas the small remainder (that makes the solution exact) can be shown to exist by using suitable Carleman estimates. In the case $m = 1$, we prove the recovery of the connection given the injectivity of the $X$-ray transform on $0$ and $1$-forms on $M_0$. For $m > 1$ and $M_0$ simple we reduce the problem to a certain two dimensional $\textit{new non-abelian ray transform}$. In our second approach, we assume that the connection $A$ is a $\textit{Yang-Mills connection}$ and no additional assumption on $M$. We construct a global gauge for $A$ (possibly singular at some points) that ties well with the DN map and in which the Yang-Mills equations become elliptic. By using the unique continuation property for elliptic systems and the fact that the singular set is suitably small, we are able to propagate the gauges globally. For the case $m = 1$ we are able to reconstruct the connection, whereas for $m > 1$ we are forced to make the technical assumption that $(M, g)$ is analytic in order to prove the recovery. Finally, in both approaches we are using the vital fact that is proved in this work: $\Lambda_A$ is a pseudodifferential operator of order $1$ acting on sections of $E|_{\partial M}$, whose full symbol determines the full Taylor expansion of $A$ at the boundary.

More and more aircraft system designs are incorporating a local-area-network (LAN) using either Fibre Channel (FC) or Ethernet. To date there hasn’t been a means for creating a FC node connection between an airborne network and a ground based FC network or for creating a reliable high-speed Ethernet connection between air and ground. Ethernet connections have had some success by using the IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN for these types of connections; however, these connections suffer from many inherent problems using this standard. Problems include the lack of telemetry spectrum control, security validation, high-speed data transfer efficiency, and channel acquisition time. This paper will describe a methodology that utilizes the IRIG-106 PCM standard for communicating between aircraft and ground-based networks. PCM can solve the aforementioned problems and it enables the user to take advantage of the many ARTM advances in PCM telemetry technology [1]. One such advance in technology has been the use of SOQPSK (Tier 1) or Multi-h CPM (Tier 2) to enable the user to effectively double or more their bandwidth efficiency compared to PCM/FM (or CPFSK) (Tier 0).

Abstract:
A FORTRAN computer program applying the ultimate strength/instantaneous center of rotation method was written to generate the eccentricity coefficients used for the study of this project.

For single line bolted connections, the value of the eccentricity coefficient is determined by several independent variables: NR (number of rows in the bolted connection), B (distance between two adjacent bolts in a vertical column), Xo (horizontal distance from centroid to applied load), and 0 (the load angle). From the relationships between the eccentricity coefficient and the independent variables, it was observed that a mathematical model of the eccentricity coefficient with respect to the independent variables is hard to determine. Hence, statistical equations for predicting the eccentricity coefficients were developed by using the Buckingham's PI-Theorem and regression analysis. The precision of the statistical equations is discussed, and several ways to improve the precision are presented in this paper.

Abstract:
The way things connect with each other plays an important role in our everyday life. A work of architecture is inevitably a series of connections between objects, people, and places. This study is an exploration into the idea of strengthening the connections to a place, and perhaps it is possible to give the visitor a heightened awareness of the history of that place. As a part of what allows a building to connect with a place, history and memory play a vital role in the strength of the connection. A building can be a physical manifestation of the story of history and connect people to the past.

The materials we use to construct built environments play a crucial role in the connection of a building to a place. Inherently some materials embody the history of a site, and through the passage of time this history can be brought to the surface. The question then becomes can the material subtly project the history of the place to a visitor in such a way that it can be clearly understood. One way this can be accomplished is to make the material react with multiple senses. Obviously materials play a major role in our visual and tactile experience of a place, but how can the other senses be made aware of the surroundings.

Each object we touch has a story to tell, perhaps how it was made, or maybe how it came to be in a certain place. So in this way a building is a compilation of stories of materials, and the relation of these stories can help us to understand a place. The stories embedded in materials can at the same time make us aware of the passage of time through their aging and decay. With these ideas we start to explore how the connections to a place occur.

Abstract:
Analytical, experimental and numerical work is reported on failure and fatigue crack growth in rotary shouldered drillstring threaded connections, where fatigue failure occurs at critical (last engaged) threads. A comprehensive review is made of drillstring failure data in the period 1989 to 1994, where connection failure accounted for 58% of the total, confirming it as the principal cause of drillstring equipment failure over the period. Approximately equal proportions of pin and box failures occurred. An extensive programme of 2-D elastostatic finite element analyses was undertaken on drilling motor and drillcollar connections investigating peak stress response at the critical threads to preload (from connection make-up) and applied loads. A pronounced effect of preload on these peak notch stresses was found, particularly at the pin, revealing the stress concentration factor (based upon remote nominal pipe stress) to be inconstant and a strong function of applied load, its value reducing with increasing load. Fracture mechanics data in the form of finite element derived stress intensity factor solutions were produced. New K solutions in the form of Y functions were derived for tension loaded connections containing cracks: in a drilling motor box at its last engaged thread (without preload): and in an API NC-61 nonmagnetic drillcollar pin and box at their last engaged thread sites, both with preload. These solutions are all conveniently referenced to nominal stresses in the uniform pipe making their use in crack growth studies straightforward. A new solution is also given for a fully circumferential internal surface crack in a tube under axial tension. The growing fatigue crack is also shown to cause load to be shed from the last engaged thread onto adjacement threads. The dominance of the thread root notch singularity at short crack lengths (a/T<0.1) means that equations fitted to the majority of the Y function data using linear regression analysis are done so for two separate regions of a/ T.
