AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Garrett P. Lunsford, for the Masters degree in Architecture, presented on July 10th 2009, at Southern Illinois University Carbondale. TITLE: ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS ON STUDENT PERFORMANCE MAJOR PROFESSOR: Dr. Walter Wendler With the increasing concern for sub par student performance in America, it has become more vital than ever for designers to create optimal learning environments. Student performance is significantly dependent on the quality of teaching as well as the pupil-instructor relationship. However, it is rare for even our best instructors to receive

Abstract:
Current Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) research uses changes in a bridge’s behaviour to locate and quantify the damage in a structure. However the structural responses are also linked to environmental effects, such as its temperature and the traffic load. In order to understand a typical suspension bridge’s behaviour to environmental conditions, studies on the Tamar Suspension Bridge’s response to temperature and traffic are contained in this thesis. This was achieved by observing data collected from long-term monitoring systems installed on the structure, and simulated responses derived f

Abstract:
The performance of pigs reared commercially is often considerably below that of their potential as seen under good experimental conditions. At least some of this decrease in performance can be attributed to environmental stressors. The aims and corresponding chapters of this thesis were to; (1) Choose a suitable predictor of potential pig growth. (2) Develop a deterministic dynamic model to predict the effects of genotype and the nutritional and thermal environments on the voluntary feed intake, growth and body composition of growing pigs. (3) Test and evaluate the model developed in chapter 2
