Full textAbstract:
In dieser Arbeit werden verschiedene Entwicklungsmodelle des Menschen vorgestellt und in ihrem Gebrauch in und für die Pädagogik kritisch reflektiert. Zunächst werden Vorüberlegungen zur Etymologie und Systematik der Begriffe Entwicklung (zwischen Natur und Kultur) und Modell (gegenüber Theorie, Simulation und Schema) angestellt. Anhand des Gangs von Beispiel zu Beispiel (Günther Buck) werden jeweils die Entwicklungsmodelle des Menschen von Rudolf Steiner, Maria Montessori, Jean Piaget, Lawrence Kohlberg, Erik Erikson und Werner Loch kritisch dargestellt und problematisiert. Es schließen sich bildungs- und erziehungstheoretische Überlegungen an, wie das Phänomen der Entwicklung heute in angemessener Weise behandelt werden kann. Anhand der dargestellten Modelle zeigt sich, dass nur ein von absoluter Teleologie und Linearität befreiter Entwicklungsbegriff mit modernen Vorstellungen pädagogischer Anthropologie und Ethik kompatibel sein kann. Deswegen können Entwicklungsmodelle lediglich eine veranschaulichende oder regulierende Funktion ausüben. Sie stehen jedoch so zumeist im Widerspruch zu den grundlegenden Momenten der freien Bildsamkeit und Mitbestimmung des Einzelnen im Erziehungsprozess. Eine Rehabilitation des Entwicklungsdenkens erweist sich dennoch als sinnvoll, da dieser in der Lage ist, auf die komplexe Genealogie menschlichen Lebens und die Möglichkeiten und Grenzen pädagogischer Einsätze zu verweisen.The issue of developmental models of human beings and their implementation in both pedagogical practice and theory are critically reflected within this thesis. In the beginning, preliminary considerations of the etymology and systematization of development (between nature and nurture) and model (as opposed to theory, simulation, scheme) are framed. Based on Günther Bucks''s approach (from „Beispiel“ to „Beispiel“) several developmental models by Rudolf Steiner, Maria Montessori, Jean Piaget, Lawrence Kohlberg, Erik Erikson and Werner Loch are critically examined. Subsequently, considerations on addressing the phenomenon of development from the perspective of education theory and „Bildung“ in an appropriate contemporary way are given expression. On the basis of the outlined models it is depicted that only a concept of development that is exempt from absolute teleology and linearity can be compatible with modern ideas of educational anthropology and ethics. Hence, developmental models may only serve visualizing and regulating purposes. They often contradict fundamental principles such as „Bildsamkeit“ (the ability and necessity of self-forming) and participation within the process of education. Nevertheless, the rehabilitation of development thinking proves beneficial due to its ability to indicate the complex genealogy of human life and the opportunities as well as limitations of pedagogical actions.

Kong, Gilbert. "STF." FIU Digital Commons, 2015. http://digitalcommons.fiu.edu/etd/2307.
Full textAbstract:
STF is a large ensemble work in three movements: "Fatwa," "Hitchens," and "Albino Sex." It is scored for piano, double bass, cello, viola, violin, French horn, clarinet in Bb, bass clarinet in Bb, flute, baritone, tenor, alto, soprano, narrator, and electronics. Its underlying concept is how religious worldviews can collide with freedom of speech, atheism, and fundamental human rights. In extreme cases, zealots will interpret disease as evidence of divine intervention or even demand the death of blasphemers. The text in the first movement, “Fatwa,” expresses freedom of speech and incorporates passages from Salman Rushdie’s “The Satanic Verses.” The second movement, “Hitchens,” centers on atheism and incorporates two audio excerpts from Christopher Hitchens’s lecture at the 2009 Festival of Dangerous Ideas. In the final movement, “Albino Sex,” I construct a narrative using media headlines, paraphrased biblical verses, and my own text to depict the human rights crisis during the 1980s A.I.D.S. epidemic. Various organizational approaches to text and pitch distinguish one movement from the other; the three movements cohere through unifying devices that I draw from set theory.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate which difficulties Swedish students of German typically have and at the same time which structures they master without problems in order to give me, as a future teacher, some ideas how to create productive German lessons. Furthermore the students’ progression over the years is the main focus of this analysis. Students from the sixth grade up to the twelfth grade from two Swedish schools were asked to write essays which provide the corpus of this analysis. At the same time they were asked to fill in a questionnaire to conduct some, for the analysis, crucial background information. I begin my analysis by comparing the students’ essays within the classes and after that the essays of the different classes are compared with each other. At last a comparison with essays that were written as part of the national test during the late 90s will be made in order to find out whether students’ skills in German have changed over the years. Some theories concerning second language learning, for example Processability Theory, will be tested whether they apply for my test group or not.

Full textAbstract:
Les minéralisations à Zn-Pb-Ba-F apparaissent dans une série littorale, sur la bordure semi-mobile du craton africain. Elles sont soit en couches syn-diagénétiques distribuées rythmiquement dans les termes inter et supratidaux à tendance évaporitique, soit en amas stratoïdes provenant de remobilisations karstiques des concentrations précédentes. Les minéralisations sont étroitement liées aux processus polyphasés de dissolution, dolomitisation et silicification qui affectent les dépôts cryptalgaires riches en matière organique. Ces processus sont contrôlés par les émersions successives d'une zone de flexure synsédimentaire. L’analyse des isotopes stables du carbone et de l'oxygène montre que les carbonates, en particulier les dolomies, conservent encore actuellement des rapports isotopiques significatifs d'une diagenèse précoce marquée par la présence d'eau météorique mélangée à l'eau marine. Ces résultats permettent de conclure aussi que la circulation des fluides durant la diagenèse tardive était extrêmement faible. La texture et les caractères optiques (intensités de réflectance et de fluorescence) des matières bitumineuses indiquent un degré de maturation thermique équivalent ou légèrement supérieur à celui de la fenêtre à huile, correspondant à un enfouissement d'environ 3000m avant de se condenser, les hydrocarbures n'ont connu qu'une migration limitée au sein des laminations cryptalgaires, moulant le détail des structures stratiformes et rythmiques. Le déplacement est, cependant, relativement plus important dans les dolomies saccharoïdes poreuses. En définitive, l'enfouissement n'aurait eu qu'une incidence mineure sur la recristallisation des dolomies et sur les minéralisations précoces

Full textAbstract:
This thesis investigates the role of objects in creative practice as alluring and evocative materials that disrupt compositional intentions and trajectories. This research does not begin from music as a cultural text but rather from the deeper experiences of sound as resistant materials that animate experiential space with their own styles of atmosphere, ambience and inaudible-audible signatures. Working across and often at the peripheries of the theoretical disciplines of object orientated ontology and process philosophy I address the philosophical issue of how sounds and objects possess the potential to unsettle, agitate and reconfigure networks of relation. Practice has informed a hybridisation of concepts derived from various disciplines, which are held together by threads of fictionalised prose that contribute alternative insights into the field of studio-based composition. This research employs a phenomenological method of reduction and at times an object orientated approach in theorising the autonomous life of sounds and objects. Dense descriptions of experiences, observations, thoughts and poetics form the basis for developing an informed creative treatise. Deviating descriptions of sensuous experiences are deployed throughout this research in order to find personal and meaningful ways of articulating sonic encounter. What are the multiple contours of Sonic Stuff? Is there an identity of sonic potential? What tensions/relations occur between the composer, studio and sonic object? In what form does Sonic Stuff reveal and characterise experiential time and space? What do the concepts of the withdrawn and revealed afford an understanding of sonic objects and sound in-itself?

Full textAbstract:
Le but de ce travail correspond à l'étude hydrogéologique d'un sous-bassin des hautes plaines setifiennes qui est celui des dépressions fermées d'El-Eulma. Ce travail a été entrepris selon trois étapes. Une première étape d'acquisition des paramètres géologiques qui ont permis de déterminer l'extension et la géométrie des différents ensembles hydrogéologiques. Ces aquifères sont ceux : -des formations carbonatées du crétacé qui ne sont exploitables que très localement a cause de la présence du trias salifère dans la région; -des formations du mio-plio-quaternaire qui laissent développer un aquifère a la base des sédiments dans les calcaires lacustres et un aquifère a porosité d'interstice dans les formations superficielles. La deuxième étape a été consacrée à l'étude hydrodynamique qui a permis de mettre en évidence cinq sous bassin hydrogéologiques. L'étude climatologique met en évidence une zone à climat méditerranée semi-aride. L'évapotranspiration réelle représentent 85 % des précipitations au minium ce qui correspond à un excèdent très faibles qui varie entre 20 et 60 mm provoquant un déstockage important de la nappe lors de son exploitation. La troisième et dernière étape a été consacrée au calage d'un modèle de simulation des systèmes d'El-Eulma et d'Ain-Lahdjar par la méthode des différences finies. Les perspectives actuelles à moyen et long terme semblent très pessimistes en raison des mauvaises caractéristiques hydrauliques des aquifères

Highway bridges are exposed to numerous elemental and loading issues that are extremely difficult for a designer to anticipate and account for during design. The current state of practice is to design a bridge deck for a certain life span and then turn the bridge over to maintenance personnel who attempt to prolong the life of the deck through a variety of repair and rehabilitation measures. These repair measures are rarely, if ever, considered during the design process of the bridge deck. Numerous researchers have looked at making bridges, specifically decks, more repairable. The majority of these research efforts have focused on the bridge deck system as a whole. Other researchers have looked at individual elements of the bridge deck to girder connection to see if the required strength could be achieved while making the connections easier to take apart. One of the main components in the bridge deck to girder system is the steel shear stud connection, which is used to create composite action between the deck and the girder. Numerous researchers have studied this connection from a strength perspective, and the strength equations for the shear connection have been codified. Shear connections using headless studs have been researched as well, but always as a part of a larger deck to girder connection system. The headless stud has never been researched to see how it responds to a shear loading. This study looks at headless studs with varying levels of debonding along the stud shaft to analyze the impact on the load resistance that the levels of debonding would have. Granular materials for the shear transfer of load are also looked at. The results show that, as expected, the headless, debonded shear studs can carry less load than a bonded stud, but the difference in load carrying capacity is within the suggested over-estimation range of the codes that other researchers have suggested. These results suggest that the use of headless, debonded shear studs in a deck to girder connection is a feasible way to make that connection more repairable.

Full textAbstract:
The stock structure of two sturgeon species from the South Caspian Sea was investigated. Allozyme electrophoresis and PCR-based mDNA analysis (RFLP) was used for the study of population differentiation in the stellate sturgeon (Acipenser stellatus). The allozyme study revealed a high level of polymorphism both within and between populations. The overall average heterozygosity is estimated to be 0.108 ± 0.02 and the percentage of polymorphic loci to be 64.3%. No significant differences in allele frequencies were observed in comparisons between the four geographic regions studied. The mDNA ND 5/6 gene regions were amplified using PCR techniques followed by RFLP analysis. Nine different composite haplotypes were detected among 120 specimens. The average nucleotide and haplotype diversity within populations are estimated to be 0.009 ± 0.001 and 0.4322 ± 0.002 respectively. No significant differences in the distribution of haplotypes were observed either within or between populations. The population structure of the Russian sturgeon (Acipsenr güeldenstaedti) was investigated using PCR amplification of the mtDNA D-loop region. Seven composite haplotypes were detected and average nucleotide and haplotype diversity over all populations were found to be 0.05 ± 0.00 and 0.75 ± 0.00 (mean ± SE) respectively. Restriction digest of the mtDNA D-loop region detected two genotypes A and B with relative high frequencies of 0.5 and 0.36 respectively. A maximum of 10.8% nucleotide diversity was found between haplotypes AAAAB and BBBBF. These two genotypes (A and B) can be considered as potential genetic markers for different biological groups, stocks or seasonal races of Russian sturgeon. 100% heteroplasmy was found in Russian sturgeon and restriction digest of the mtDNA D-loop region also exhibited site heteroplasmy. PCR amplification, cloning and sequence analysis of the entire mtDNA D-loop region indicates that all five sturgeon species in the South Caspian Sea show heteroplasmy. In all five species length heteroplasmy is associated with the presence of an 82 bp sequence which is tandemly repeated in the mtDNA D-loop region.

Full textAbstract:
Scene understanding is a central field in computer vision that attempts to detect objects in a scene and reason about their spatial, functional and semantic relations. While many works focus on things (objects with a well-defined shape), less attention has been given to stuff classes (amorphous background regions). However, stuff classes are important as they allow to explain many aspects of an image, including the scene type, thing classes likely to be present and physical attributes of all objects in the scene. The goal of this thesis is to restore the balance between stuff and things in scene understanding. In particular, we investigate how the recognition of stuff differs from things and develop methods that are suitable to deal with both. We use stuff to find things and annotate a large-scale dataset to study stuff and things in context. First, we present two methods for semantic segmentation of stuff and things. Most methods require manual class weighting to counter imbalanced class frequency distributions, particularly on datasets with stuff and thing classes. We develop a novel joint calibration technique that takes into account class imbalance, class competition and overlapping regions by calibrating for the pixel-level evaluation criterion. The second method shows how to unify the advantages of region-based approaches (accurately delineated object boundaries) and fully convolutional approaches (end-to-end training). Both are combined in a universal framework that is equally suitable to deal with stuff and things. Second, we propose to help weakly supervised object localization for classes where location annotations are not available, by transferring things and stuff knowledge from a source set with available annotations. This is particularly important if we want to scale scene understanding to real-world applications with thousands of classes, without having to exhaustively annotate millions of images. Finally, we present COCO-Stuff - the largest existing dataset with dense stuff and thing annotations. Existing datasets are much smaller and were made with expensive polygon-based annotation. We use a very efficient stuff annotation protocol to densely annotate 164K images. Using this new dataset, we provide a detailed analysis of the dataset and visualize how stuff and things co-occur spatially in an image. We revisit the question whether stuff or things are easier to detect and which is more important based on visual and linguistic analysis.

Full textAbstract:
Master of Science in Veterinary ScienceDevelopmental Orthopaedic Disease (DOD) describes problems affecting the limbs of young horses, including abnormal bone, joint and tendon development. DOD is responsible for major economic losses in the Thoroughbred industry. Investigation into the epidemiology of DOD in Australia and Ireland as described in this thesis has allowed valuable comparisons and recommendations to be made between the studs in these countries. The project described in this thesis commenced in 1999, with the aim to: a) Establish the incidence of DOD on a stud in Australia and to compare this with similar data for a stud in Ireland b) To determine relationships between factors affecting severity and incidence of DOD in foals with respect to the country in which they are bred and raised c) To further identify risk factor areas associated with the development of DOD Records of 1717 mares from a major stud in Ireland and another in Australia were made available. Foal weight, age of mare, condition of mare, foal sire and date of birth were monitored over two years. The occurrence of DOD was recorded against these data. The incidence of DOD was found to be higher on the stud in Australia (average 49.85%) than on the stud in Ireland (average 14%). Foal weight was found to be a significant factor affecting DOD, with heavier foals showing a proportionally higher severity of the problem. The Australian stud had a higher incidence of DOD in 2000 compared to 1999 (65.2% affected vs 32.1% in 1999), whereas the Irish stud had a lower incidence in 1999 compared to 2000 (11.8% affected vs 16.2% in 2000). The dramatic increase in the incidence of DOD in Australian foals over the 1999-2000 period is representative of the increase in a major problem in the industry, as well as greater awareness of the problem over recent years. It highlights the urgent need for further research into understanding the cause(s) of DOD. Overall recommendations arising from the study include that a large scale, long term study be undertaken in Australia. Further investigation into the nutrition of horses in Ireland and Australia would be of great usefulness in understanding DOD, as would possible genetic links. An issue requiring attention is that of developing a standard definition of the disorder. Considering the wide range of disorders which may fit under the umbrella term DOD, a clear definition is of great importance. The incidence of DOD on one large farm in Ireland was found to be currently low and stable relative to its another large stud farm in Australia. This is a significant finding as the genetic pool of the horses share similarities on both farms, particularly as stallions shuttling between hemispheres sire many foals on both farms. Thus, the data provided herein provide an excellent basis for further valuable comparative studies investigating DOD in foals with a similar genetic background but subjected to differing environmental conditions.

O Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF) mantém uma base de documentos que relatam suas decisões tomadas em todos os julgamentos passados. Esses documentos são chamados de acórdãos e compõem a jurisprudência do STF, pois abordam assuntos que dizem respeito a constituição. Eles estão disponíveis a todos, porém encontrar uma informação relevante é uma tarefa árdua, que muitas vezes exige um nível de conhecimento da área jurídica. O STF oferece um mecanismo de busca para esses acórdãos, porém o mecanismo atual utiliza uma forma tradicional de busca baseado em formulários com inúmeros campos a serem preenchidos e selecionados, se assemelhando a um questionário, no qual cada pergunta está relacionada a filtragem de certas informações em toda a base persistida em bancos de dados relacional. Esta abordagem do ponto de vista do usuário é pouco intuitiva e em alguns casos imprecisa. Com base nesta dificuldade, neste trabalho é apresentada uma abordagem de um mecanismo de pesquisa que utiliza uma ontologia para a criação de uma representação do conhecimento contido nos acórdãos do STF. Sua construção é feita com o auxílio da tecnologia OBDA (Ontology Based Data Access), que permite a criação de uma camada semântica sobre uma base de dados relacional, o que possibilita a realização de consultas em SPARQL.The Brazilian Supreme Federal Court (STF) keeps in its database documents describing past judgments decisions. This documents are called acórdãos (decisions) and are part of STF jurisprudence because they deal with matters that concern the Federal Constitution. They are publicly available, but finding relevant information is often requires a high level of knowledge about the juridical area. The STF offers a search mechanism for the acórdãos, but through a form with a lot of fields to be filled, looking like a questionnaire, where each question is related with certain filtered data persisted over the relational database. This approach from users perspective, is unintuitive and in some cases inaccurate. For this reason, this work presents an approach where the search mechanism is based on an ontology that represents the knowledge inside the STF acórdãos. Other technology used here is the OBDA (Ontology Based Data Access), that allows the use of an abstract semantic layer over a relational database, and with it is possible to query the database with SPARQL.

New companies require brand development strategies. The aim of the study was to establish the effectiveness of ingredient branding strategies on customer purchase intention towards new market entrants in the South African stud buffalo breeding market.
The study was quantitative in nature and descriptive in design, with demographics, operational background and branding data gathered through a structured survey in the form of a closed questionnaire administered by the researcher. The sample comprised 27 stud buffalo breeders across South Africa.
The findings supported ingredient branding as having a positive influence on customer purchase intention towards new market entrants for both the host and ingredient brand. Strategic brand partnership through ingredient co-branding between a well-known brand and a new market entry found positive influence on customer purchase intention towards the new market entry. The results were inconclusive regarding strategic brand partnership through ingredient co-branding between a well-known public figure and new market entrant having a positive influence on customer purchase intention.Mini Dissertation (MBA)--University of Pretoria, 2017.

Este estudo tem por objetivo avaliar o comportamento estrutural de um sistema de vigamento de piso tipo stub-girder, modificado para melhor aproveitamento dos perfis em sua fabricação. O estudo é baseado em formulações não lineares a partir do método dos elementos finitos (MEF), com uso do software ANSYS. Através do software FTOOL foi criado um modelo simplificado para a análise estrutural e o cálculo das resistências nominais foi feito com base na norma canadense CAN-S16-10 da Canadian Standards Association. Além disso, foram avaliadas as cargas de máximas e de serviço do sistema, bem como os deslocamentos associados a estes carregamentos. Com base nos resultados obtidos, foram feitas recomendações de projeto do sistema e foram avaliadas as condições de economia de material e possibilidade de utilização na prática de construção de edificações de andares múltiplos. Com vistas à fase de construção, é feita a discussão sobre a possibilidade de obtenção de um método construtivo industrializado, já que o sistema de fabricação é caracterizado pela rapidez de produção e montagem, que são facilitadas pelo fato deste sistema permitir a reutilização de pequenos comprimentos de perfis que sobram no processo normal de fabricação.
This study s purpose was to evaluate the structural behavior of a stub-girder floor-system, which was modified to better utilize the steel profiles in its manufacturing process. The study is based on nonlinear analysis through the use of the finit element method (FEM), employing the software ANSYS. For the structural analysis, a simplified model was created through the use of the software FTOOL and the nominal resistances was obtained based on the canadian CAN-S16-10 Standard, by the Canadian Standards Association. Furthermore, the working and tensile loads were evaluated, as were the displacements associated to them. Based on the results, designs recommendations were made and the conditions of economy of material, as well the possibility of the system s practical use in multi-storey buildings were discussed. With regards to the construction phase, a discussion was made on the possibility of obtaining an industrialized construction method, since the manufacturing process is characterized by the fast production and assembly, which are facilitade by the fact that this system allows the reuse of small lenghts of remaining profiles from the normal manufacturing process.

The behavior and strength of welded shear studs are subjects of ongoing study. In recent years, research has shown that the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) specification equations for shear stud strength are unconservative for studs placed in deck with ribs transverse to the steel beam. Twenty-four solid slab push-out tests, 93 composite slab push-out tests, and bare stud tests were performed to study the effects on stud strength of friction, normal load, position of studs in the ribs of steel deck, concrete strength, and stud properties. Stud diameters ranged from 3/8 in. to 7/8 in., deck heights ranged from 2 in. to 6 in., and both single and pairs of studs were tested. The push-out test results from this study were combined with other studies to propose a new stud strength prediction model. Three new beam tests were performed to study the effect of the stud position in the ribs of the steel deck. The results of these tests, along with 61 other beam tests, were used to verify the new stud strength prediction model. A reliability study was performed to determine resistance factors for stud strength and beam strength.Ph. D.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis project concerns NAT traversal techniques and their application to P2P networking with regard to MediaSense platform. Since MediaSense open source platform, developed by Mid Sweden University, utilizes the benefits of P2P networking, it also suffers from the drawbacks provided by NAT. The issue of NAT traversal is not trivial due to the fact that the behavior of NAT devices is not standardized and vendors are free to provide their own implementations. The common knowledge is, that at least four main types of NATs exist, differing in the filtering and mapping algorithms employed. NAT traversal techniques vary accordingly. No single technique can handle all the cases. Most of the techniques can handle up to three main types of NAT. The last type is usually used in large corporate networks and is called the Symmetric NAT. The most viable, and basically the only available technique for its traversal, is data relaying. This thesis builds a NAT traversal module for the MediaSense platform. The main purpose of this module is to provide seamless NAT traversal capabilities to the platform. The module does this in several steps: UPnP enabled device discovery, NAT type determination and data relaying via the proxy. Firstly the module attempts to discover the presence of a UPnP enabled Internet Gateway Device on the network. If such a device is present on the network, a port mapping can be created, making the node located behind NAT accessible from the public Internet. If a UPnP enabled device was not found, the module will try to determine the type of NAT used. Based on the type of NAT used, the module can transit to either the proxy mode or request assistance of the STUN server to keep the created mapping alive. The resulting chapters provide the reader with the output produced by each step, conclusions the author has made while working on this project and some general ideas on future work within the subject.

Full textAbstract:
En Algérie, les différences entre les usages féminins et masculins des espaces publics sont habituellement considérées comme relevant de la domination spatiale et symbolique qu’exercent les hommes sur les femmes. Si les rapports de pouvoir et les conflits qu’ils sous-tendent restent utiles pour comprendre le caractère sexué de l'espace urbain algérien, ils ne permettent pas de rendre entièrement compte des transformations sociales induites par la présence grandissante des femmes hors des espaces domestiques où elles étaient traditionnellement confinées. Dans un pays traversé par des tensions politiques et sociales, cette recherche s’intéresse à l’expérience que font les femmes de l’espace du dehors et des nouvelles manières d’être et d’agir qui la caractérisent. C’est à travers une approche ethnographique des usages ordinaires de trois espaces publics de la ville de Sétif que nous avons choisi, en tant qu’architecte, d’analyser la façon dont l'espace se prête à la production de nouveaux modes de sociabilité et, plus largement, le rôle qu’il joue dans la transformation des rapports de genreIn Algeria, the differences between male and female uses of public spaces are mostly presented as the result of the spatial and symbolic domination of men over women. Although power relations and the conflicts they underlie remain useful for understanding the gendered character of the Algerian urban space, they don’t fully reflect the social transformations brought about by the growing presence of women outside domestic spaces where they were traditionally confined. In a country with political and social tensions, this research focuses on women’s experience of outer space and the new ways of being and acting that characterize it. It is through an ethnographic approach of the ordinary uses of three public spaces of the city of Sétif that we have chosen, as an architect, to examine the way space participates in the production of new modes of sociability and more broadly, the role it plays in the transformation of gender relations

Full textAbstract:
This thesis contains a summary of previous cold-formed steel stud shear wall test programs in North America, as well as an overview of the seismic requirements for a number of different design standards, i.e. the NBCC, the UBC and the NEHRP guidelines for seismic design. A theoretical method for the prediction of shear capacity based on the first possible failure mode, which follows the adapted American wood design procedure, is presented and the results from this method are compared with peak loads obtained from existing tests. In addition, a preliminary force modification factor for use in seismic design is suggested for use with the NBCC. Finally, future tests of cold-formed steel stud shear walls are proposed and a corresponding test frame is designed. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

Yuan, Hui. "The resistances of stud shear connectors with profiled sheeting." Thesis, University of Warwick, 1996. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/36287/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis presents the study of the static behaviour of stud shear connectors welded through profiled sheeting and the fatigue resistances of the connectors in composite bridges. In the presence of profiled sheeting in a composite beam, the resistance of stud connectors to static shear is influenced by the geometry of the ribs and the position of the studs within them. This is allowed for in the existing methods by applying a reduction factor to the resistance of the stud in a solid slab, but a study of the results of 203 push-out tests showed that the influences are not taken into account properly. The reason, revealed by 16 new push-out tests with transverse sheeting and 18 with parallel sheeting, is that the existing methods do not distinguish between the various failure modes. New conceptual and mathematical models are developed with respect to the different failure modes. For transverse sheeting, up to nine parameters are involved, among which five are shown by statistic analyses to have negligible influence. Based on the other four, simpler expressions for reduction factors are derived, and the characteristic resistances (5% fractile) are given. For parallel sheeting, however, it is found that the reduction factor method used in the existing models is not suitable, because the mechanism of load transfer is different. On a whole, the new models improve the prediction of 95% of all the valid reported test results, from a range -40% to +100% to within +11%. The fatigue resistances of stud connectors in composite bridges are studied statistically using 115 sets of reported data. It is found that the testing methods have significant influence on the results, and are the reason for the discrepancies between the existing models. A new model is proposed, based on the most reliable group of data.

Full textAbstract:
Textile conservation, defined here as the preservation, investigation and presentation of textiles, is often viewed largely as a technical and aesthetic problem. This research develops an alternative view by understanding objects as being subject to both material and social change. The dynamic aspects of this material and social process is emphasised as ‘stuff happens’. This research proposes, and provides evidence for, a material culture approach to textile conservation, and demonstrates its development and application. An analysis of case studies shows how the material and the social interact at the point of assessment and intervention. Examination of the material aspects of textile conservation reveals that social values influence decision-making. Values held at the time of conservation are shown to depend on the categories used. Investigation of these categories demonstrates that any anomalous quality of the textile undergoing conservation allows for contestation of social values. As values change over time, analysis of each conservation assessment and intervention reveals a comparison of values held at different times viewed retrospectively. The resulting approach is centred on the interaction between things, persons and language where each mediates relations of the others. It is argued that this material culture approach enhances understanding of the dynamic material and social environment of textile conservation principles and practices.

This dissertation details the development of a novel reduced size axial mode helical antenna called the Stub Loaded Helix (SLH). The SLH achieves a significant reduction in helix size, both diameter and length, compared to the conventional axial mode helix antenna with only small compromises in performance. The SLH achieves this entirely through the use of a unique geometry. The performance characteristics of the SLH are explored through the use of computer simulations using NEC (Numerical Electromagnetics Code) to study the effects of design parameter variations. Based on those simulations, design guides are developed. The numerical simulations are verified though measurements of experimental prototypes. The program of experimental prototypes included the development of an appropriate impedance matching network for the SLH, which is also detailed.Ph. D.

Full textAbstract:
Short-term load forecasting (STLF) is an important part of the power generation
process. For years, it has been achieved by traditional approaches stochastic like
time seriesbut, new methods based on artificial intelligence emerged recently in literature and started to replace the old ones in the industry. In order to follow the latest developments and to have a modern system, it is aimed to make a research on STLF in Turkey, by neural networks. For this purpose, a method is proposed to forecast Turkey&rsquo
s total electric load one day in advance. A hybrid learning scheme that combines off-line learning with real-time forecasting is developed to make use of the available past data for adapting the weights and to further adjust these connections according to the changing conditions. It is also suggested to tune the step size iteratively for better accuracy. Since a single neural network model cannot cover all load types, data are clustered due to the differences in their characteristics. Apart from this, special days are extracted from the normal training sets and handled separately. In this way, a solution is proposed for all load types, including working days, weekends and special holidays. For the selection of input parameters, a technique based on principal component analysis is suggested. A traditional ARMA model is constructed for the same data as a benchmark and results are compared. Proposed method gives lower percent errors all the time, especially for holiday loads. The average error for year 2002 data is obtained as 1.60%.
