No final da década de 1990, com o aperfeiçoamento das técnicas de fabricação de filmes finos nanoestruturados, houve vários estudos que procuraram entender a dinâmica de vórtices e suas características. Esses sistemas normalmente compreendem uma rede regular de buracos ou inclusões magnéticas, que atuam como armadilhas para os vórtices, fornecendo potenciais periódicos de ancoragem. Por esta razão, vórtices em supercondutores nanoestruturados apresentam vários fenômenos interessantes que não podem ser encontrados em filmes contínuos. Possivelmente o exemplo mais marcante é o efeito de matching devido à comensurabilidade entre a rede de vórtice e a rede de ancoragem artificial. A depender das condições impostas ao sistema (temperatura, campo magnético aplicado, corrente de transporte aplicada e os parâmetros da rede de ancoragem) os vórtices se organizarão de maneiras distintas e isso irá, obviamente, traduzir-se em diferentes respostas macroscópicas. Nos chamados campos de matching (B = nB1, onde n é um inteiro e B1 é a densidade de fluxo magnético correspondente a um vórtice por célula unitária) os vórtices sentem mais o potencial de ancoragem e isto aparece experimentalmente como um aumento na corrente crítica (medida estática) ou uma atenuação na mobilidade dos vórtices (medida dinâmica). Acredita-se amplamente que as características observadas nas medidas estáticas e dinâmicas estão correlacionadas de forma que pode-se usar medidas de magnetotrasporte para inferir sobre as propriedades da comensurabilidade estática da rede de vórtice nos filmes nanoestruturados. Nesta dissertação, estudaremos experimentalmente as propriedades dinâmicas dos vórtices em um filme fino amorfo de MoGe com uma rede regular quadrada de antidos (buracos). A amostra foi fabricada por litografia eletrônica e deposição por laser pulsado na Universidade de Leuven, Bélgica. Foram feitas várias medidas de magnetorresistência nessa amostra usando voltímetros e fontes de corrente altamente sensíveis. Estes foram conectados ao equipamento comercial PPMS (Physical Properties Measurement System, da Quantum Design), usado como ambiente criogênico, através de uma caixa adaptadora confeccionada nos nossos laboratórios. As medidas são controladas por um computador através de uma rotina escrita pelo software de automação LabView. As curvas de magnetorresistência para diferentes valores de temperatura exibem uma série de características em diferentes campos de matching, como esperado do fenômeno de comensurabilidade estudado em trabalhos anteriores. Entretanto, para o sexto campo de matching, a forma característica da curva de magnetorresistência está ausente para todos os valores de temperatura. Seguindo um modelo baseado em configurações estáticas de vórtices em redes regulares de antidots, uma atenuação no efeito de matching é esperada para o terceiro campo de matching, devido aos parâmetros geométricos da nossa amostra. De fato, foi observada uma atenuação em B = 3B1. Entretanto, o modelo falha em explicar a ausência do efeito de matching em B = 6B1 encontrado nas nossas medidas. É proposto que vórtices em movimento na presença de um potencial de ancoragem periódico podem apresentar efeitos de comensurabilidade ligeiramente diferentes daqueles que ocorrem na situação estática porque a rede de vórtice que se move interage efetivamente com um potencial de ancoragem dependente do tempo.

Abstract:

This thesis is presented in five chapters. Chapter one offers a review of the literature, divided into six sections. The first section of this chapter provides an understanding of cancer as a disease and a public health concern, including detail on its incidence and prevalence, the biology of cancer and its treatment. The second section of this chapter reviews the literature on physical activity and cancer across the cancer continuum, from prevention of cancer, through cancer treatment, living with or beyond cancer, advanced cancer, and detail on physical activity and cancer mortality and recurrence. The third section of this chapter discusses the determinants of physical activity in cancer survivors, framed within behavioural theories and models to support the identification of intervention opportunities. The identified intervention opportunities are covered in the fourth section. The fifth section of this chapter presents the scope and relevance of the research included in this thesis. The sixth section provides a summary of chapter one. Chapter two presents the first study included within this thesis, a service evaluation investigating the reach, adoption, and impact of a training intervention to influence UK healthcare professionals to give very brief advice on physical activity to cancer survivors. This study also includes an assessment of the predictive value of the behavioural theory upon which the intervention is based, the COM-B model of behaviour (Michie, van Stralen, & West, 2011). Chapter two includes four sections covering an introduction, the method, results, and discussion. Chapter three presents the second study within this thesis. The second study is a randomised waiting list control trial to investigate the impacts of a remote-print based intervention supported by Internet-based tools on the physical activity, self-efficacy, and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of cancer survivors. The randomised waiting list control trial also includes a cost-consequence analysis. Chapter four presents the third study of this thesis, a process evaluation of the remote-print based intervention supported by Internet-based tools. This process evaluation aimed to contextualise use and perceived usefulness of the intervention, supporting the identification of what works and for whom. Chapter five then closes this thesis with a discussion on the theoretical and practical contributions of the body of research as a whole. This final chapter also includes discussion on how the interventions under assessment influence the identified determinants of physical activity in cancer survivors, and identification of future research possibilities.

Abstract:

Gravity plays a vital role in our everyday lives. It provides the development of our muscle mass which fuels our brain’s advancement and our ability to complete daily tasks. Yet we often take for granted the things we do not see. From hunting and gathering, chasing after prey, migrating from one place to the next, to growing and harvesting crops to long hours laboring away, we have felt gravity through millions of years in time. Along with the rise of technology, we are witnessing the fall of our physical selves. Our lives have become busier, more stressful and our days behind a screen much longer. Within the past 30 years, gravity has been intercepted by the chair and the ratio of moving to sitting has been reversed. Instead of feeling this force within our legs and lower limbs, it has now been deferred to our fingers, buttocks and backs. We spend the bulk of our days in a seated position, often behind a screen. Sitting has become such a norm that daily exercise at the gym is no longer enough to offset all the negative things done to our bodies in a sedentary posture. We were programmed to move, but we’ve hacked our brains to think otherwise. Prolonged sitting is a serious issue that should not be overlooked. The challenge is to change a habit that we’ve acquired from an early age. The numbers are staggering, over 1.5 billion people worldwide are obese.(WHO. int, 2013) 5.3 million die each year from heart related diseases and diabetes as indirect result of the chair, .3 million more than smoking. (Thelancet.com, 2012) It is time to break the norm, adjust our perceptions, expectations and stop living in extremes and move towards moderation. It’s time to stand up and make gravity visible. 10/60: Make Gravity Visible is a social movement to challenge our society to move more, reminding people to be up and moving 10 minutes for every 60 minutes. The goal is to challenge society to integrate movement within the home, work and societal environments through the support and influence of communal behaviour. 10/60 is facilitated by a website and a smartphone application. The website provides ideas shared by the community to help inspire movement into people’s lives. The app tracks a person’s daily physical activity levels and sends a reminder when he/she has been sitting for too long. How much a person moves is reflected by an avatar’s physical state as well as graphical data by the time of day. Challenges can be submitted within the inner circle of friends to encourage more movement. The initial strategy around this topic was through the intersections of four subjects: human evolution, philosophy, behavioral psychology, and physiology. This concept was developed based on findings from foundational research, expert interviews, user tests, experiments and behavioral observations - in particular social influences and the underlying principle that motivation is different for everyone. Awareness alone does not generate action. Motivating people to move more is beyond an individual problem - sitting is a societal and cultural issue and unless that is addressed, no long term changes can be sustained. This project aims to inspire people to leverage their communities and integrate more physical activity in the home, work and societal environments. Societal and cultural norms will not change unless we change together.

Abstract:

The significance of fungal infections has been grossly underestimated. Only a few drugs are clinically available to treat life-threatening fungal infections, and resistance against these drugs is rising. Antifungal peptides (AFPs) are being actively explored as novel pharmaceuticals. PAF26 is a de novo designed hexapeptide possessing N-terminal cationic and C-terminal hydrophobic regions. Previously the roles of each of these motifs in the antifungal mode-of-action of PAF26 have indicated that it involves three stages: interaction with the plasma membrane, internalisation, and cell killing. The overall aim of my project was to obtain further insights into its mode-of-action and develop more active antifungal derivatives of PAF26. Three experimental fungal systems were used in this study: the model Neurospora crassa, the human pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus and the plant/human pathogen Fusarium oxysporum. The first objective of the study was to evaluate the impact of different fluorescent labels on the intracellular localisation and antifungal properties of PAF26. For this purpose a library of PAF26 labelled with 13 different fluorophores was synthesised. This library contained PAF26 conjugates of broad chemical and spectral diversity. These fluorescent PAF26 conjugates were analysed by live-cell imaging and tested for their antifungal activities. The different fluorescent labels were found to have significant impacts both on intracellular localisation and antifungal activities. TMR, carboxyfluorescein, NBD and DMN were found to be the best labels for live-cell imaging because they had the least influence on the intracellular localisation and antifungal activity of PAF26. The second objective was to identify target proteins of PAF26 in N. crassa cells. A large number of proteins were identified as binding to PAF26 from a protein pull-down and mass spectroscopy analysis using TMR- and fluorescein-labelled PAF26. One of these proteins was the highly abundant plasma membrane ATPase PMA-1. An in-silico analysis showed that PMA-1 is likely to be a major target protein of PAF26. The final objective was to develop novel antifungals based on PAF26 with improved activities and stability. Novel cyclic derivatives of PAF26 were designed in-silico against PMA-1. These peptides were synthesised and tested against N. crassa, A. fumigatus and F. oxysporum and were found to have higher activities (at the sub-micromolar level) and greater stability than the linear PAF26. Overall this study has provided novel mechanistic insights into the mode-of-action of PAF26 and discovered novel highly active antifungal peptides with clinical potential as therapeutics.

Abstract:

This study sought to advance understanding of student perceptions around their engagement in the move towards blended and online mode learning in higher education. Therefore, the research aimed to explore the extent to which different demographic groups of students have engaged in blended and online methods within a cross-section of courses within a higher education context. More specifically, the study endeavored to investigate specific student preferences around the move from traditional face-to-face to more blended and online learning environments. Furthermore, the research aimed to gather student perceptions of internet use in their learning to consider how to more effectively use blended and online modes to aid in student transition and engagement whilst driving satisfaction. The project adopted a mixed method design of both quantitative and qualitative research to explore the extent to which students feel engaged and satisfied when adopting blended and online learning techniques within a variety of courses in the business school of a large Australian university. Initially, study 1 focused on a quantitative approach collecting data from a mix of 767 undergraduate students segmented across different groups. The main established scale items proposed were adapted from Krause and Coates (2008) around key areas of student transition, academic, peer, student-staff, intellectual, online and beyond class engagement. The results from the surveys aimed to suggest that student levels of engagement and satisfaction differ across the use of traditional face to face versus blended and online modes. Findings from this research looked to identify that despite the high daily use of internet among students this is not necessarily their first preference for learning as they value traditional modes. Additionally, study 2 used semi-structured interviews conducted with 50 full-time and part-time students from across various years within their degrees in a randomly selected sample that self-nominated from study 1. The research highlighted that students are influenced by the ability to interact with their lecturers and tutors as well as their peers to gain the necessary support they feel impact on their success. The outcomes of the study acknowledged that students value the ability to ask questions, be involved in group work as well as the wider university community, whilst also being able to access learning online. Despite these preferences that propose that students still value face to face mode, the interview results also suggested that students value the convenience, accessibility, and flexibility of blended and online modes. However, it was evident that institutions need to offer a variety of mode preferences to suit the mix of students needs in the current higher education market. Ultimately, the study looked to consider student preferences towards the move to more blended and online learning in higher education. Whilst having explored the interplay among students, academics and the university to determine student learning transformation in different modes. Consequently, the purpose of the project was to gain a better understanding of the key strategy’s universities can adopt to manage their students more effectively and drive engagement in a blended mode, mixing face-to-face and online learning environments. This research has both theoretical and practical implications by informing institutions of student preferences around adopting blended and online modes in order create better practice, which remain under-researched in the marketing and business education literature. Subsequently, the discussion in this study endeavoured to investigate student learning preferences around the move to blended and online learning in higher education and the impact their overall engagement and satisfaction.

Abstract:

The objective of this study was to evaluate the viability of the use of raw milk samples conserved with bronopol in the detection of cheese whey by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). The samples added with bronopol were stored in two temperatures (7 and 30º C) and the control samples (without preservative) were kept under freezing. All the groups were tested for the time of storage up to eight days. In each group were added five levels of cheese whey (0%, 2%, 5%, 10% and 20%). There was no difference (p > 0.05) among the treatments thus, it is possible to use samples of raw milk conserved with bronopol in the detection of cheese whey by HPLC. The storage time and temperature did not interfere in this methodology for samples conserved with bronopol stored cooled or at room temperature up to eight days

Abstract:

The aim of this work was to detect Listeria monocytogenes added in milk, after selective enrichment period, by PCR technique. A PCR technique using the primers LM1/LM2 and a multiplex PCR with IAP1/IAP2 e LMA/LMB was standardized. The conventional method of L. monocytogenes detection was compared from milk samples with different bacterial count added with various L. monocytogenes concentrations. The DNA extraction methods using phenolchloroform and thermal split were compared. The DNA extraction and the conventional methods showed the same result in detecting the bacterium in samples of sterilized milk. In milk samples with any initial contamination, the conventional methodology was sensitive and PCR from enrichment broth can not detect L. monocytogenes added, independently of the extraction method used. The identification time of L. monocytogenes decreased using the DNA extraction by the strain split method using suspect colonies that grew in Oxford and PALCAM, in substitution of identification phenotypes tests
O objetivo deste trabalho foi detectar Listeria monocytogenes inoculada em leite, após um período de enriquecimento seletivo, por meio da técnica de PCR. Foi feita a padronização de uma PCR utilizando os oligonucleotídeos LM1/LM2 e de uma PCR multiplex com os oligonucleotídeos IAP1/IAP2 e LMA/LMB. Listeria monocytogenes foi inoculada em várias concentrações em leite esterilizado desnatado e em leite cru integral com dois níveis diferentes de contaminação. A PCR padronizada foi aplicada para identificar a bactéria inoculada experimentalmente e foi comparada com o método convencional de detecção de L. monocytogenes. Foram comparados, também, os métodos de extração de DNA utilizando fenolclorofórmio e por lise térmica, a partir de um caldo de cultura e diretamente da colônia suspeita. Somente foi possível identificar L. monocytogenes por PCR no leite esterilizado desnatado, após 48 horas de enriquecimento em meio seletivo (LEB). Neste caso, a sensibilidade do teste foi de 1 UFC/ml de leite, a mesma sensibilidade da metodologia convencional. Quando inoculada em leite cru integral com contaminação bacteriana, L. monocytogenes só foi detectada pela metodologia convencional, com uma sensibilidade de até 2 UFC/ml (leite com baixa contaminação). Foi possível reduzir o tempo de identificação de L. monocytogenes, substituindo os testes fenotípicos de identificação pela PCR padronizada, utilizando DNA bacteriano extraído pelo método de lise térmica, diretamente da colônia suspeita

Abstract:

The microbiological and physical-chemical quality of 151 pasteurized type C milk samples distributed by a governmental program in Minas Gerais state was analyzed. Milk quality was also traced to the dairies, in accordance to the type of inspection, as well as to the produce regions and season. For the microbiological analyses, means were: 6.09 x 101 MPN/mL and 2.47 x 101 MPN/mL for coliforms at 30°C and 45°C, respectively; 1.38 x 105 CFU/mL for counting of aerobic mesophilic bacteria; and 1.31 x 105 CFU/mL and 2.54 x 104 CFU/mL for counting of Staphylococcus spp. and Staphylococcus aureus, respectively. Salmonella spp. was identified in 121 (2.48%) samples. For the physical-chemical analyses, means were: 1.031 for density at 15°C, 12.40% for total solids content, 3.60% for fat, 8.80% for non-fat solids, 15.32°D for titratable acidity, and 0.525°H for freezing point. Mean of water added to milk was 2.4%. Positive result for alkaline phosphatase activity was observed in 23.18% samples and 22.52% presented negative activity of lactoperoxidase. Difference (p>0.05) was not observed among the dairy industries under different levels of inspection, and among different regions the State for the microbiological aspects; however, difference was observed (p<0.05) for the majority of the physicalchemical aspects. Difference was not observed among the seasons of the year concerning microbiological and physical-chemical aspects. It was concluded that the pasteurized milk distributed by the governmental program had unsatisfactory quality; deficient composition and can represent a potential risk to the health of the consumers

Para as análises microbiológicas, foram obtidas médias de 6,09 x 101NMP/mL e 2,47 x 101 NMP/mL para coliformes a 30°C e a 45°C, respectivamente; 1,38 x 105 UFC/mL para contagem de microrganismos mesófilos aeróbios, e 1,31 x 105 UFC/mL e 2,54 x 104 UFC/mL para contagem de Staphylococcus spp. e Staphylococcus aureus, respectivamente. Salmonella spp. foram identificadas em 2,48% de 121 amostras pesquisadas. Para as análises físico-químicas, foram obtidas médias de 1,031 g/mL para densidade relativa a 15°C, 12,40% de extrato seco total, 3,60% para gordura, 8,80% para extrato seco desengordurado, 15,32°D para acidez titulável e -0,525°H para crioscopia. A média de adição de água ao leite foi de 2,4%. Resultado positivo para a pesquisa de fosfatase alcalina foi observado em 23,18% e 22,52% apresentaram resultado negativo para a pesquisa de lactoperoxidase nas 151 amostras analisadas. Não foi observada diferença (p>0,05) entre os estabelecimentos sob diferentes níveis de inspeção e entre diferentes meso regiões para os parâmetros microbiológicos. No entanto, observou-se diferença (p<0,05) para a maioria dos parâmetros físico-químicos. Também não foi observada diferença (p>0,05) entre as épocas do ano em que o leite foi produzido para os aspectos microbiológicos e físico-químicos. Desta forma, concluiu-se que o leite pasteurizado distribuído no programa social governamental possui qualidade insatisfatória, composição centesimal deficiente e pode representar risco potencial à saúde de seus beneficiários

Abstract:

In 2002, the Brazilian government implemmented the Normative Instruction 51 (IN-51) establishing an important step to improve milk quality in this country. According to the patterns required by the IN-51, this study was conducted with 183 samples of raw milk collected from different properties, during the summer of 2006, in the State of Minas Gerais, Brazil. The evaluated milk was produced in properties regulated by the state inspection service and the parameters used were from this national legislation: total bacterial count, somatic cell count, milk composition (fat, protein, total solids, lactose and solids non fat), freezing point and qualitative tests for detection of inhibitory substances in milk. Questionnaires containing questions about hygienic and production practices were filled out during interviews with the producers. It was verified that the main disagreement with the IN-51 patterns was total bacterial count. The conclusion of the study is that poor hygienic practices during milking and low level of technical informations were the major problem for milk quality
Em 2002, o governo brasileiro através do Ministério da Agricultura e do Abastecimento publicou a Instrução Normativa 51 (IN-51), importante instrumento legal para melhorar a qualidade do leite. O presente estudo foi conduzido com 183 amostras de leite cru provenientes de variadas propriedades localizadas na Zona da Mata de Minas Gerais, conforme os padrões e parâmetros estabelecidos na IN-51, sendo que as coletas compreenderam o verão de 2006. O leite avaliado foi coletado de estabelecimentos sob inspeção sanitária estadual utilizando os parâmetros padronizados à legislação federal: contagem bacteriana total, contagem de células somáticas, composição do leite (gordura, Proteína, lactose, EST e ESD), índice crioscópico e testes qualitativos para detecção de resíduos de antimicrobianos no leite. Questionários com os produtores também foram utilizados, contendo questões sobre práticas de higiene e produção animal. Verificou-se que o resultado de contagem bacteriana total foi o que apresentou maior percentagem de não conformidade com a IN-51. A conclusão deste trabalho foi que a baixa qualidade do leite estava relacionada a pouca higiene durante a ordenha e ao baixo nível de informações técnicas dos produtores

In the study the edgewise bending direction were compared with axial direction. Dynamic excitation and modal analysis were used to extract the natural frequencies of several sound and artificially defected boards with the help of Signalcalc. Mobylizer software. By using the first edgewise natural frequency, modulus of elasticity (MOE) was calculated. An ABAQUS 2D Finite Element model was utilized to model the board and to extract the frequencies for the six first mode shapes in both axial and edgewise directions. The extracted frequencies from the model were compared with the frequencies from the tests. The analytical and experimental results, from the homogeneous boards, in edgewise direction has similar frequency variations. The defects in the timber boards decreased the natural frequencies. The bending modes with more curvature at the location of the artificial defect displayed more frequency deviation in that mode. The variation in response frequencies for uniform and defected boards was more noticeable in edgewise bending modes than in longitudinal modes.

Abstract:

Owning and operating airports is an expensive business. For many local governments and private corporations involved, the business of airport management can be extremely lucrative when the facility and the operation are effectively and efficiently administered. For the DoD, airport management is a huge expense. During this time of historic budget reductions, one wonders whether the existing portfolio of military airfields can be sustained. The U.S. Air Force portfolio of airfields currently in place in the European theater is the focus of this research project because the United States has an extensive and long-standing inventory of airfields there. Ultimately, this thesis asks whether significant strategic and political changes necessitate a different approach to U.S. military airport management in Europe. The U.S. Air Force should stay in Europe, but it should convert some of its heavy, main operating bases to more flexible, lighter installations for both economic and strategic reasons.

Abstract:

A myriad of issues face the rural and small membership A.M.E. churches, such as lack of long-range planning, high denominational assessments, recurring financial problems, inadequately trained pastors, frequent pastoral movement, and acceptance versus adoption, making survivorship difficult. Therefore, the EMPRO Model (i.e., The Empowerment Project) is an instrument that will positively impact the A.M.E. Church and its treatment of the rural and small membership churches. To be sure, the Empowerment Project is capable of delivering the necessary tools and skills (planning, budget preparation, polity, calendar preparation, church history, stewardship and tithing) to the leadership (clergy and laity) of rural and small membership churches which will enable them to perform at a much higher level. Succinctly, the Holy Spirit is the ultimate vehicle that enables the Empowerment Project to move forth. It was the invisible presence of the Holy Spirit that empowered the Fairfield A.M.E. Church to exhibit an outward resolve to keep hope alive. Empowerment is the enhanced ability to accomplish clearly identified goals and objectives. The procedure was to select five A.M.E. churches from the Atlanta/North Georgia Conference of the Sixth Episcopal District of the A.M.E. Church to participate in the Empowerment Project. Each church fits the definition of either rural or small membership, or both. Four of the five churches selected were actually located in rural areas. The other church is located in the city of Atlanta. The churches selected have experienced similar struggles and difficulties. The findings of the study showed that the training seminar forum is a powerful tool for imparting information. Other results were: (1) The topics offered during the seminar sessions strengthened the participants' knowledge and understanding of the A.M.E. Church in general. (2) The information relating to budget preparation and church planning provided additional insights into how the congregation would better be able to meet its goals because of better planning. (3) The session relating to the need for the local church to develop a mission statement that clearly outlined what it saw as its own identifiable mission caused the participants to be better able to identify 'do-able' local goals and objectives. (4) The seminar sessions provided an opportunity for useful dialogue to be exchanged between the key officers of the church concerning the mission and purpose of the local church. (5) The seminars provided the 'how to' for all of the participants involved. (6) Pastors viewed the training as an enormous help to their local church ministry. A more informed pastorate and a more informed laity bring about a much higher level of local church performance, i.e., empowerment . When folks know what to do and how to do it, the overall functioning of the church is enhanced and, thus, empowered.

Abstract:

La mayoría de personas recurren al consumo de cigarrillos en búsqueda de placer y relajo para calmar la ansiedad. Es conocido que estos cigarrillos convencionales contienen aditivos químicos que agravan la salud de las personas. En el siguiente trabajo de investigación, se evaluó la implementación de un cigarrillo sin aditivos químicos hecho de la planta del mapacho, producto que es consumido en la selva peruana, que pueda ofrecer la misma experiencia que tiene una persona al consumir uno que si los tiene. Se presentará el modelo de negocio final del proyecto y las validaciones que se realizaron para cada cuadrante. Se realizaron diferentes experimentos con personas que consumían cigarrillos comerciales para validar si el producto era aceptado. Asimismo, nos dimos cuenta que el sabor menta era solicitado cuando ofrecíamos el producto en los experimentos por lo cual decidimos ofrecer este nuevo sabor. Luego de validaciones y experimentos realizados, se obtuvo un empaque final con dos presentaciones de cigarrillos: tradicional y menta. Las ventas de los productos finales se realizaron mediante la plataforma de Facebook y de manera directa con las personas que ya conocían el producto. Finalmente, a raíz de las ventas y los gastos realizados, se desarrolló los planes y las proyecciones a tres años de los presupuestos de las áreas de operaciones, recursos humanos, marketing, responsabilidad social empresarial y finanzas.
Most people recur to the consumption of cigarettes in search of pleasure and relaxation to calm the anxiety. It is known that these conventional cigarettes contain chemical additives that aggravate the health of people. In the following research work, the implementation of a cigarette without chemical additives made of the mapacho plant was evaluated, a product that is consumed in the Peruvian jungle, which can offer the same experience that a person has with a conventional cigarette. The final business model of the project and the validations that were made for each quadrant will be presented. Different experiments were carried out with people who smoke commercial cigarettes to validate if the product was accepted. Also, we realized that the mint flavor was requested when we offered the product in the experiments for which we decided to offer this new flavor. After validations and experiments, a final packaging was obtained with two presentations of cigarettes: traditional and mint. The sales of the final products were made through Facebook and directly with the people who already knew about the product. Finally, as a result of sales and expenses, plans and three-year projections of the budgets of the areas of operations, human resources, marketing, corporate social responsibility and finance were developed.

Full text

Abstract:

This research undertaking suggests that the studio-based process of inventing original choreographic works can be seen, in certain frameworks, as a complex ‘theoretical practice’. It sets out to render the decisions that I, as an artist, make in the process of inventing three choreographic works, ‘Audience (1) Waltzers’, ‘Return Journey’ and ‘HaH’, more transparent and self-reflexive, and simultaneously to enquire into the question of whether, and how, writing might serve to illuminate aspects of my overall choreographic and performance practice. The studio-based process of inventing these three works– with which the written strands necessarily engage – reflects my desire to explore questions about dance, choreography and performance as they emerge in my practice and with reference to the canon of western contemporary dance performance. In the mixed-mode heuristic framework underlying the present investigation the studio-based and text-based strands of inquiry are integrated in an extra-hierarchical mode, functioning thus interdependently as strands having equal epistemic value within that undertaking. That is, each is equivalent in terms of an ongoing enquiry into knowledge. The present undertaking examines and reflects on the ways that modes and methods of inquiry appropriated from the tradition of contemporary and post-modern dance performance, the Somatic practices of Authentic Movement and Body-Mind Centering, together with the Buddhist practice of Mindfulness Meditation, support my status as remaining ‘present with’ sensations, emotions and thoughts that arise and inflect the other-than-linguistic qualitative reasoning that underlies the decisions I make in the process of inventing ‘signature’ choreographic works – by which I mean works that are recognisably my own. Investigations into the relationship between one’s ‘self’ and one’s thoughts are extended by borrowing selectively from published research within the fields of Philosophy, Science, Cognitive Science and Psychology. The mixed-mode heuristic framework provides for the emergence of a relational space between the studio-based and text-based strands of research. In this space the subtle, layered and always evolving sub-strands of both are rendered more transparent, thereby providing for the questions and decision-making processes underlying the invention of ‘Audience (1) Waltzers’, ‘Return Journey’ and ‘HaH’ to surface and become more fully revealed: can I create choreographic structures that might provide for audiences to have an intimate experience of dance and performance? And how might these choreographies also provide for somatic experiences of dance, and the space within which it unfolds, to be shared by the dancer(s) and audience in performance? I propose to demonstrate that this project’s original contributions to knowledge are located in (i) the design of the mixed-mode heuristic framework within which I examine and reflect on how writing, in a range of registers, might serve to illuminate the process of inventing original choreographic works (ii) the choreographic works ‘Audience (1) Waltzers’, ‘Return Journey’ and ‘HaH’ (iii) what can be identified as the category of ‘somatically-revolving-empathy’

Abstract:

Though we live in an age of uncertainty, we are constantly surrounded by what is predictable and routine. What happens when the comfort of our understanding is questioned? This body of work developed out of my experimental curiosity and desire to merge the familiar with the unexpected. Incorporating furniture and found objects brings a level of familiarity to the viewer, but manipulating the usual and adding strange elements causes inquiry. All of the components are set up into narrative tableaus and every part is considerably important to the whole. The installation explores humor and fear related to the grotesque and the uncanny, exploring contradictory elements such as: anthropomorphic and foreign, vibrant and static, seductive and repulsive. Each scene reveals no answers but poses only questions, inviting the viewer to fully experience their surroundings and come up with their own conclusions. We often exist between the margins of the known and the unknown but our understanding of this existence is purely individual.

Abstract:

This thesis examines the eight issues of Stéphane Mallarmé's 1874 fashion magazine, La Dernière Mode, focussing on ideas of process. On the one hand, it views La Dernière Mode as a vital phase in the evolution of Mallarmé's aesthetic and, on the other, it sees the discourse of fashion itself as being in a continual state of trial and re-definition. The thesis begins with a citation from Mallarmé's 1886 article, 'Mimique'; this passage showcases the complex relationship between the interpenetrating themes of Time, Drama and Fiction, which form the three main chapter headings. Taking a thematic and linguistic approach, the thesis will explore literary, theoretical and philosophical mechanisms in La Dernière Mode, assessing ways in which these can be seen to have evolved from ideas established in Mallarmé's early verse and prose writing, and tracing their evolution over the course of the poet's later works. This study will also acknowledge the importance of crisis, both personal and social, and its influence on Mallarmé's aesthetic, showing La Dernière Mode to be part of a dynamic process by which the parameters of literature are tested and re-defined. My study aims to contribute to the development of recent scholarship of Mallarmé, which acknowledges and celebrates his engagement with the material world and his interest in the aesthetic value of the practices of everyday life. Challenging views of Mallarmé as the 'ivory-tower poet' and destabilizing distinctions between his poetic and 'alimentary' works, this thesis thus makes a case for seeing La Dernière Mode as a testing ground for fundamental aspects of the poet's aesthetic with significant implications for the direction his œuvre would take in the 1880s and 1890s. The fashion magazine can thus, I contend, be considered as having a dynamic relationship with the poet's unattainable ideal of the 'Livre'.

Full text

Abstract:

Component-based software engineering is becoming a prominent solution to the development of complex embedded systems. Since it allows a system to be built by reusable and independently developed components, component-based development substantially facilitates the development of a complex embedded system and allows its complexity to be better managed. Meanwhile, partitioning system behavior into multiple operational modes is also an effective approach to reducing system complexity. Combining the component-based approach with the multi-mode approach, we get a component-based multi-mode system, for which a key issue is its mode switch handling. The mode switch of such a system corresponds to the joint mode switches of many hierarchically organized components. Such a mode switch is not trivial as it amounts to coordinate the mode switches of different components that are independently developed. Since most existing approaches to mode switch handling assume that mode switch is a global event of the entire system, they cannot be easily applied to component-based multi-mode systems where both the mode switch of the system and each individual component must be considered, and where components cannot be assumed to have global knowledge of the system. In this thesis, we present a mechanism---the Mode Switch Logic (MSL)---which provides an effective solution to mode switch in component-based multi-mode systems. MSL enables a multi-mode system to be developed in a component-based manner, including (1) a mode-aware component model proposed to suit the multi-mode context; (2) a mode mapping mechanism for the seamless composition of multi-mode components and their mode switch guidance; (3) a mode switch runtime mechanism which coordinates the mode switches of all related components so that the mode switch can be correctly and efficiently performed at the system level; and (4) a timing analysis for mode switches realized by MSL. All the essential elements of MSL are additionally demonstrated by a case study.

Full text

Abstract:

As a promising candidate to break the single-mode fiber capacity limit, mode-division multiplexing (MDM) explores the spatial dimension to increase transmission capacity in fiber-optic communication. Two linear impairments, namely loss and multimode interference, present fundamental challenges to implementing MDM. In this dissertation, techniques to resolve these two issues are presented. To de-multiplex signals subject to multimode interference in MDM, Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO) processing using adaptive frequency-domain equalization (FDE) is proposed and investigated. Both simulations and experiments validate that FDE can reduce the algorithmic complexity significantly in comparison with the conventional time-domain equalization (TDE) while achieving similar performance as TDE. To further improve the performance of FDE, two modifications on traditional FDE algorithm are demonstrated. i) normalized adaptive FDE is applied to increase the convergence speed by 5 times; ii) master-slave carrier recovery is proposed to reduce the algorithmic complexity of phase estimation by number of modes. Although FDE can reduce the computational complexity of the MIMO processing, due to large mode group delay (MGD) of FMF link and block processing, the algorithm still requires enormous memory and high hardware complexity. In order to reduce the required tap length (RTL) of the equalizer, differential mode group delay compensated fiber (DMGDC) has been proposed. In this dissertation, the analytical expression for RTL is derived for DMGDC systems under the weak mode coupling assumption. Instead of depending on the overall MGD of the link in DMGD uncompensated (DMGDUC) systems, the RTL of DMGDC systems depend on the MGD of a single DMGDC fiber section. The theoretical and numerical results suggest that by using small compensation step-size, the RTL of DMGDC link can be reduced by 2 orders of magnitude compared to DMGDUC link. To compensate the loss of different modes, multimode EDFAs are presented with re-configurable multimode pumps. By tuning the mode content of the multimode pump, mode-dependent gain (MDG) can be controlled and equalized. A proto-type FM-EDFA which could support 2 LP modes was constructed. The experimental results show that by using high order mode pumps, the modal gain difference can be reduced. By applying both multimode EDFA and equalization techniques, 26.4Tb/s MDM-WDM transmission was successfully demonstrated. A brief summary and several possible future research directions conclude this dissertation.

Full text

Abstract:

A novel dispersion-managed breathing-mode semiconductor mode-locked ring laser is developed. The "breathing-mode" designation derives from the fact that intracavity pulses are alternately stretched and compressed as they circulate around the ring resonator. The pulses are stretched before entering the semiconductor gain medium to minimize the detrimental strong integrating self-phase modulation and to enable efficient pulse amplification. Subsequently compressed pulses facilitate bleaching the semiconductor saturable absorber. The intracavity pulse compression ratio is higher than 50. Down chirping when compared to up chirping allows broader mode-locked spectra and shorter pulse generation owing to temporal and spectral semiconductor gain dynamics. Pulses as short as 185 fs, with a peak power of ~230 w, and a focused intensity of ~4.6 gw/cm2 are generated by linear down chirp compensation and characterized by shg-frog method. To our knowledge, this is the highest peak power and the shortest pulse generation from an electrically pumped all-semiconductor system. The very good agreement between the simulated and the measured results verifies our understanding and ability to control the physical mechanisms involved in the pulse shaping within the ring cavity. Application trends such as continuum generation via a photonic crystal fiber, two-photon fluorescence imaging, and ultrafast pulse source for pump-probe experiments are demonstrated.

Abstract:

Interference between the modes of an optical fiber generates specific mode (intensity) patterns which get modulated by disturbances in the optical fiber system. Mode-mode interference has been analyzed from first principles and a model based on differential phase modulation presented. Mode-mode interference effects such as intensity modulation of the mode patterns are directly related to differential phase modulation between modes which arises due to the difference between the propagation constants of the constituent modes. Practical implementation of modal methods involves selective launching of modes and processing of the output pattern to demodulate the information.

Axial strain has been chosen as the modulating mechanism in experiments designed to quantify mode-mode interference effects. Quasi-statically varying strain as well as vibrational strain was used to study 'dc' and 'ac' mechanisms. Specific mode combinations have been excited and their radiation patterns identified. Mode pattern changes have been described. Experimental observations and results correlate very well with analysis.

Abstract:

Peak current mode control is a popular method of SMPS control due the inherent cycle-by- cycle current limiting, feed-forward control and current sharing ability it provides. However, the subharmonic oscillations which plague peak current mode control must be removed using slope compensation. Until the work presented in this thesis, there have been no true digital implementations of peak current mode control due to the difficulties associated with implementing a digital form of slope compensation. This thesis introduces a complete digital peak current mode converter which uses a novel method of digital slope compensation to remove the subharmonic oscillations observed when using peak current mode control. The digital implementation of peak current mode control is applied to a Buck converter design example which directly compares the proposed digital scheme with an equivalent analog scheme. Exact analytical design equations are derived which allow a specified crossover frequency and phase margin to be achieved concurrently. The l6W Buck converter design example compares the digital peak current mode controlled converter with an analog converter designed to the same specification and tested on the same power stage PCB. The detailed steady state, transient and frequency response results from the hardware experimentations show excellent correlation with the MATLAB simulated converter and are in good agreement with the equivalent analog converter. The crossover frequency is specified as 15kHz and is measured as 14.71kHz on the proposed digital converter with a measured phase margin only 5' less than the specification. The results confirm that the operation of the proposed digital peak current mode control scheme is functionally similar to analog peak current mode control.

Abstract:

Few-mode fibers (FMFs) and multimode fibers (MMFs) can provide much higher data-carrying capacities compared with single-mode fibers. But in order to achieve this goal, one must address the challenge of intermodal coupling and dispersion. Therefore the ability to accurately control the optical signal propagation in FMFs/MMFs can play a pivotal role in FMF/MMF applications. This thesis demonstrates the ability to excite, in FMFs and MMFs, the desired linearly polarized (LP) modes as well as their superpositions through adaptive optics (AO). Specifically, in the case of step-index FMFs, a phase-only spatial light modulator (SLM) is employed to manipulate the light at the fiber input end, driven by the feedback signal provided by the correlation between the charge coupled device (CCD) camera captured images at the fiber output end and the target light intensity profile. Through such an adaptive optical system, any arbitrarily selected LP modes can be excited at the distal end of the four-mode and seventeen-mode fibers, respectively. For a graded-index MMF with a uniform Bragg grating, we use a deformable mirror (DM) to perform the wavefront modulation at the fiber input end, where the feedback is based on the ratio of the grating-reflected signal power to the transmitted signal power. At the Bragg grating position of this highly multimode fiber, any desired principal mode groups can be successfully chosen. These experimental results suggest that adaptive control of optical wavefront in FMFs/MMFs is indeed feasible.
Master of Science
Optical fibers, in terms of the number of modes they support, can be generally divided into single-mode fibers (SMFs), and few-mode fibers/multimode fibers (FMFs/MMFs). FMFs/MMFs can provide much higher data-carrying capacities than SMFs. For example, an FMF/MMF that supports M modes can ideally increase the data transmission rate by a factor of M, where each mode can serve as a distinct communication channel. However, in order to achieve good performance, one must accurately control signal propagation in FMFs/MMFs, which are often degraded due to the multiple-mode nature. This thesis demonstrates the ability, using adaptive optics (AO), to control signal propagation in FMFs and a highly MMF, respectively. Specifically, in the case of FMFs, a phase-only spatial light modulator (SLM) is employed to manipulate the light at the fiber input, driven by AO feedback signal provided by the similarity between the real-time fiber output image and the target mode profile. Through such an adaptive optical system, any desired linearly-polarized (LP) modes can be excited at the output of the four-mode and seventeen-mode fibers, respectively. For the highly MMF with uniform Bragg grating, we use a deformable mirror (DM) to perform the wavefront modulation at the fiber input, where AO feedback is provided by the fiber Bragg grating (FBG) reflectivity. At the FBG position, any desired principal mode groups can be successfully chosen. These experimental results suggest that adaptive control of optical wavefront in FMFs/MMFs is indeed feasible, and may find a large number of applications in optical communication, sensing, and imaging.

Abstract:

La variété croissante des tâches qui nécessitent des interfaces homme-machine aboutit à la production des nouveaux capteurs améliorés et provoque donc l'obsolescence des technologies plus anciennes. Dans un monde aux ressources limitées, le taux de production de nouveaux appareils homme-machine ne semble pas viable. La conception durable nécessite une réappropriation des matériaux existants, nous devons donc concevoir des interfaces modulaires, réutilisables, mais qui permettent de nouvelles techniques d'interaction. Nous pensons que la combinaison des puissances de différents périphériques grâce à la fusion de données peut permettre des interactions puissantes tout en prolongeant la durée de vie des matériaux électroniques. À mesure que la complexité des capteurs augmente, leur combinaison présente de nouveaux défis et opportunités, notamment en termes de puissance de calcul et de comportement des utilisateurs, que nous explorons dans ce document. Nous expliquons d'abord comment les travaux antérieurs menés dans différents sous-domaines d'interaction homme-machine s'intègrent dans la perspective de la fusion de données. Dans cette perspective, nous prenons en compte tous les aspects des dispositifs d'entrée pour définir le cadre auquel appartient cette thèse. La première étape consiste à manipuler les périphériques d'entrée pour fournir des informations significatives à fusionner. Nous montrons donc comment passer d'une source de données complexe, telle qu'un flux de caméra, à une simple information descriptive qui permet une fusion légère. Ensuite, nous séparons les avantages de la fusion de données multi-capteurs pour les espaces d'interaction en deux catégories; enrichir l'espace d'interaction et étendre l'espace d'interaction. Notre contribution aux espaces enrichis se concentre principalement sur les interfaces musicales où nous proposons une application de sonification de mouvement sur un appareil mobile et un mécanisme de retour d'information visuelle, le tout en utilisant une combinaison de capteurs. De plus, nous contribuons à une surface virtuellement étendue pour les interactions sur grand écran à l'aide d'un écran tactile portable et examinons l'appropriation de l'utilisateur dans ce nouvel espace d'interaction
The increasing variety of tasks which require human-computer interfaces result in the production of new and improved sensing devices and therefore causes the obsolescence of older technologies. In a world of limited resources, the production rate of new interaction devices is unsustainable. Sustainable design calls for re-appropriation of existing materials, so we need to design interfaces that are modular, re-usable, yet that allow new interaction techniques. We believe that combining the strength of different input devices through data fusion can enable powerful interactions while extending the lifespan of electronic materials. As the complexity of sensors increases, their combination presents new challenges and opportunities, notably in terms of computational power and user behavior, which we explore in this document. We first explain how previous work conducted in different sub-domains of human-computer interaction fit into the data fusion perspective. From this perspective, we take all aspects of input devices into consideration to define the framework to which this thesis belongs. The first step consists of handling input devices to provide meaningful information to be fused, so we demonstrate how to go from a complex data source such as a camera stream, to a small, descriptive bit of information that enables lightweight fusion. Then, we separate the benefits of multi-sensor data fusion for interaction spaces into two categories; enriching the interaction space and extending the interaction space. Our contribution to the enriched spaces mainly focuses on musical interfaces where we propose a movement sonification application on a mobile device and a visual feedback mechanism, all by using a combination sensors. Further, we contribute a virtually extended surface for large display interactions using a hand-held touchscreen and examine the user's appropriation to the new interaction space

Abstract:

Distributed generation (DG) is getting more and more popular due to the environmentally-friendly feature, the new generation unit developments, and the ability to operate in a remote area. By clustering the paralleled DGs, storage system and loads, a microgrid (MG) can offer a power system with increased reliability, flexibility, cost effectiveness, and energy efficient feature. Popular energy sources like photovoltaic modules (PV), wind turbines, and fuel cells require the power-electronic interface as the bridge to connect to the utility grid for usable transmission. The inverter-based microgrid system, however, suffers more challenges than traditional rotational power system. Those challenges, including much less over current capability, the nature of the intermittent renewable energy sources, a wide-band dynamic of generation units, and a large grid impedance variation, call for more careful system hardware and control designs to ensure a reliable system operation. Major design interests are found in (i) precision power flow control, (ii) proper current sharing, (iii) smooth transition between grid-tie and islanding modes, and (iv) stability analysis. This dissertation will cover a complete design and implementation of an experimental microgrid with paralleled power conditioning systems operating in the gridtie mode, islanding mode, and mode transfers. A universal inverter is proposed with the LCL filter to operate in both grid-tie and standalone mode without any hardware modification. Next, controllers of individual inverters running in basic microgrid modes will be discussed to ensure high quality output characteristics. The admittance compensation will also be proposed to avoid reverse power flow during the grid-tie connection transient. Combining previous designed single inverters, a CAN-bus multiinverter microgrid system will be established. The current sharing with the proposed frequency-decoupled transmission will be implemented to extend the transmission distance. Next, smooth mode transfer procedures between grid-tie mode and islanding mode will be suggested based on the circuit principles to minimize the excessive electrical stresses. Finally, the state-space analysis of the proposed multi-inverter microgrid system will be conducted to investigate the stability under system variations and optimize the system performance. Experimental and simulation results show that the designed universal inverter can provide stable outputs in different basic microgrid operation modes. With the proposed current sharing scheme, the output current is equally shared among paralleled inverters without a noticeable circulating current. Both the simulation and experimental results of mode transfer show that the multi-inverter based microgrid system is able to switch between grid-tie and islanding modes smoothly to guarantee an uninterrupted power supply to the critical loads. Based on eigenvalue analysis, the study of stability analysis also shows the agreement of the design, simulation and test results which further verifies the reliability of the designed multi-inverter microgrid system.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to complete a series of photographs utilizing trees as metaphors. This series of photographs is composed into book form for possible publication. It presents the psychological and symbolic impact of trees in different environments and from different perspectives through the development of a unique style of creative composition. The format consists of text and photographs. This project develops a working definition of metaphors and an approach using trees as the medium to convey various symbolic and psychological references. Both associated and inferred types of symbolisms are used. This type of approach is not necessarily unique and has been evidenced in the work of such "populist" poets as Robert Frost and the late photographer-poet Gordon Parks. With the basic inventory of symbols and psychological reference associations, whole trees, parts of trees, and/or groups of trees are identified to illustrate through the photographic medium that metaphors do indeed exist and can be found in trees. Photographs are produced, edited and composed to produce not only pleasing aesthetics, but also to provide continuity throughout the series. Photographs vary in size, shape, contrast, and composition to provide variation in the format.

Analysen av modeföretagens arbetssätt, psykologi och samhällets påtryckningar vidareutvecklade även det egna externa uppdraget.These days almost every great designer makes clothing for kids. On the international market it’s much more common that every large design house has entered the kids wear market. They create mini collections for the youngest with a sense of fashion. But I chose to not focus on the international market and to look deeper into the Swedish market and the differences between Swedish brands. I chose three brands that points at different target groups. Acne, KappAhl and Polarn O.Pyret.KappAhl is a big fashion company that is addressed to men, women and children. The company is not more niche than that their clothes should maintain low prices. KappAhl makes popular kids wear as they run, like their other collections strongly.Polarn O. Pyret has a completely different context in which they are only focused on children's fashion. It started as a company only focused on kids wear and has not suggested any other collections.Acne is interesting because it is located in a completely different price range and differ in the audience, unlike the previous two companies. To compare the different companies' approaches were interesting and instructive to analyze their own thoughts and ideas on an industry of fashion for children. It felt that the report had not quite got its order until the psychological debate interweaved in the study.How to dress their children is a personal matter of taste and has probably no direct adverse effects in small ages.Articles in fashion magazines that says "this is what your kids should wear this spring" sounds much more like directives targeted at parents. Particularly young girls have also entered the great fashion blogger market. Twelve year old girls talking about what to wear. The link is between how fashion companies themselves looking at the industry and what responsibility they have against these very young girls.The much more current debate surrounding that kids should be kids becomes an issue. What I try to show in the report is how the different companys consider themselves to be responsible. Parents and fashion industry certainly, but is there really no right or wrong about these young girls are passionate about fashion. It is intended that the study should be as objective as possible, then the conclusion of the study will not prove what is right or wrong without discussing the variousIVrespondents' answers to the way we humans develop during childhood. The analysis of the fashion business processes, psychology and social pressures further developed also its own external mission.

Abstract:

Behovet av nya och skonsamma material blir allt större inom textilbranschen. Samtidigt råder en överkapacitet inom pappersindustrin till följd av att traditionell tryckt media ersätts med digitala alternativ. I Japan har nya användningsområden för papper tagits fram, i form av pappersgarn för användning inom textil. Forskning inom området är i ett tidigt skede, därför finns inte så mycket information om pappersgarnets egenskaper som är av stor betydelse vid produktutveckling. Redan i designstadiet av ett klädesplagg är det viktigt att beakta vilka egenskaper som konsumenter söker, för att säkerställa att det säljer och att konsumenten blir nöjd vid användning. En utav de mest väsentliga faktorerna som påverkar ett köpbeslut av ett klädesplagg är materialets taktila komfort eller känsla. Utifrån denna vetskap riktas studien åt att undersöka pappersgarnets taktila egenskaper genom en jämförelse med två av de vanligaste cellulosabaserade materialen på marknaden idag; bomull och viskos. I studien undersöks egenskaper av respektive material, stickade med en vanligt förekommande bindning, slätstickning. Syftet är att bedöma huruvida garn tillverkat av papper utifrån taktil komfort, kan vara ett alternativ till konventionella garn av bomull och viskos. En metod som heter Kawabata Evaluation System for Fabrics (KES) har använts för att testa de mekaniska egenskaperna hos trikå av papper, bomull och viskos. Dessa värden har sedan jämförts och analyserats för att kunna dra slutsatser om respektive materials taktila komfort. I KES metoden ingår ett antal tester; dragprov, skjuvning, böjning, kompression, luftgenomsläpplighet, ytegenskaper så som friktion och ytojämnheter, samt termiska egenskaper så som värmeöverförings-, energiförbruknings- och värmeledningsförmåga. Utöver KES har även vattenabsorptions- och vattenavgivningstester utförts för de tre materialen, parametrar som också har stor betydelse för textila materials taktila komfort. För att ytterligare kunna dra slutsatser kring pappersgarnets egenskaper i relation till bomull och viskos, har de stickade materialen samt garnen fotograferats med ett Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). För att utmana teorin som används vid tolkning av KES i de mekaniska egenskaperna gjordes en undersökning med testgrupp för att se hur väl KES korrelerar med verkliga människors subjektiva uppfattning om känsel. Resultat av mekaniska egenskaper visar att papperstrikå gör mer motstånd än bomulls- och viskostrikå vid dragprov, skjuvning, böjning och kompression, vilket även gäller för respektive garn i enskilda garntester för dragprov, böjning och kompression. Detta tyder på att papper är ett styvare material än bomull och viskos. Pappers termiska egenskaper visar liknande tendenser som viskos; högre värmeledningsförmåga och därför något sämre värmeisoleringsförmåga jämfört med bomull. Detta tyder på att papper, likt viskos, upplevs som ett svalt/svalkande material. Resultaten från vattenabsorptionstestet visar att papper absorberar i takt med bomull, vilket visades vara mindre än för viskos. Vattenavgivningstestet visade att papper torkade snabbare än bomull men något långsammare än viskos. Detta tyder på att papper har en jämförelsevis bra vattenabsorbering och wickingförmåga, vilket är viktigt för känseln då materialet upplevs torrt, vid snabb fuktabsorption. Slutsatser som kan dras utifrån detta, är att pappers mekaniska egenskaper uppfyller de krav som ställs på material i modeplagg. Resultat ifrån testgrupp visar dock att i jämförelse med bomull och viskos som är mjuka och lena material upplevs papper vara strävt och obekvämt. Slutsatser som dras utifrån detta är att papper kan behöva bearbetas för att ge en mjukare känsla och därmed tilltala den bredare målgruppen. Däremot, var intresset stort för detta nya material både miljö- och utseendemässigt, vilket ansågs kompensera för materialets strävhet i ett modeplagg.
