Texto completoCette thèse étudie les processus de perception et de cognition et démontre leurs applications à la création de contenu télévisuel ayant une valeur artistique et esthétique. En réexaminant les connaissances et hypothèses antérieures, les façons dont les artistes et les producteurs de médias ont manipulé les facultés de traitement des informations de leurs auditoires, et donc la signification qu'ils attribuaient à des images fixes et animées, sont explorées. Pour refléter la nature multidisciplinaire de l'esthétique de la télévision, cette recherche ne se limite pas à une discipline académique particulière. Au lieu de cela, elle s'appuie sur divers courants de recherche et domaines d'érudition (études sur les médias, le marketing, la psychologie, les neurosciences, et les beaux-arts) pour combler le fossé entre la théorie scientifique et la pratique artistique, afin de formuler des recommandations visant à la création de matériel audiovisuel qui remplit les trois fonctions de l'art: l'intensification, la clarification, et l'interprétation de l'expérience.

Texto completoThe Kingdom of Jordan is one of the world's most water poor countries suffering from physical water scarcity, a growing population, regional instability, poor water infrastructure, inefficient water sector management and high water misuse. Through conducting a content analysis of 73 USAID reports, focusing on water demand management, this paper aims to understand how water demand is managed in the Kingdom, in addition to understanding the role of international aid in transforming Jordan's water sector. A greater understanding of the crisis and actions taken to mitigate the impacts were revealed by examining specific water polices and laws, the role of government structures and water sectors, and implemented projects. It was found that Jordan has taken significant efforts to sustainably manage water resources and to address growing water demand. Reallocating water among various sectors, reducing non-revenue water, and decentralizing water provision are key priorities outlined in the Kingdom's water strategy.

There are nearly 1 billion people who obtain their drinking water through piped distribution networks that operate intermittently. Intermittent Water Supply (IWS) operations allow for periods of stagnation and depressurization that create conditions favorable for biofilm growth on pipe surface. Biofilms are complex microbial communities that are likely sources of opportunistic waterborne pathogens and can cause disease outbreaks. Flushing of the water pipes and re-pressurization, which occur at the start of each IWS supply cycle, cause the erosion of the biofilm and its transport into the bulk water, which can potentially contaminate the drinking water. This thesis describes the development and proof-testing of an experimental pipe testbed installed on the Nanyang Technological University (NTU) campus in Singapore.
The testbed comprises an array of 100 mm diameter PVC pipes, supplied from a water tank with flow paths controlled through a set of valves, and water samples obtained at up to 7 pipe outlets. Data are presented from an initial program of tests that compare the effects of priming for two pipe sections: 1) with continuous laminar flow (Continuous Water Supply, CWS) under pressure; and 2) IWS, where the pipe section is flushed during re-pressurization (supply period) and then allowed to drain and stagnate for the remainder of the daily cycle. The change of the water quality from both the inlet and outlet was evaluated by determining the microbial load using flow cytometry (with Live/Dead staining), together with physical and chemical water parameters measured on a time series of water samples.
The data compare the response of the CWS pipe section for steady laminar flow, with the transient response following a step-change in flow rate (turbulent conditions) with transient behavior during flushing of the IWS section. Initial filling of the IWS section cause a significant increase in total and live cell counts, confirming that erosion of biofilm can contribute to biomass transported in the bulk water. Further tests are in progress to validate and replicate these results.

Texto completoArtificial photosynthesis is achieved by placing a semiconductor in water, where photoexcited charges generate a photovoltage at the surface of the semiconductor. However, solar to fuel efficiencies of earth abundant metal oxides and metal nitrides remain limited by their low photovoltages. Many different treatments have been used to improve the photovoltages of semiconductors, such as photocharging, surface regrowths, or the addition of heterogeneous catalysts. However, in these treatments, it remains unclear whether the enhanced photovoltage arises from improved kinetics or energetics. In many of the following studies, the surface kinetics of different semiconductors are measured in order to quantify how surface kinetics are related to the photovoltage of these materials. Different spectroscopic measurements are made along with detailed analysis of the Fermi level and quasi Fermi level in order to corroborate the kinetic data with energetic data. Together, this dissertation explores a multitude of methods and procedures that demonstrate how the photovoltage of semiconductors can be understood and manipulated for photoelectrochemial artificial photosynthesis

Stormwater management within the urban context has evolved over time. This evolution has been categorized by five paradigm shifts (Novotny, Ahern, & Brown, 2010). The current paradigm of stormwater management utilizes hard conveyance and treatment infrastructure designed mainly to provide protection for people from typical 1-5 year frequency storms. Consequently, this infrastructure is sometimes unable to deal with larger sized, 50 to 100 year events which can have serious consequences. Manhattan, Kansas has suffered multiple flooding episodes of severe proportion in the past decade. The dilemma of flooding within the Wildcat Creek watershed is a direct example of the current paradigm of stormwater management. This once ecologically healthy corridor is fed by conveyance systems that do not address the hydrologic needs of the watershed; decreasing the possibility for infiltration and groundwater recharge. Vegetated stormwater management systems must be implemented to help increase infiltration and address flooding problems within the Wildcat Creek watershed. The aesthetic performance of designed landscapes has a tremendous effect on the appreciation and care given to them by the surrounding population (Gobster, Nassauer, Daniel, and Fry, 2007). Landscape architecture has the ability to aid in the visual appeal and ecological design of vegetated stormwater management systems (SMS) by utilizing existing frameworks that address aesthetic reaction of the outdoor environment (Kaplan, Kaplan, and Ryan, 1998). This document evaluates design alternatives of vegetated SMS in order to discern a set of variables that inform the relationship between each systems aesthetic and amenity performance and their ecosystem and hydrological performance. Identified variables are combined into a set of guidelines for achieving different levels, or patterns of aesthetic performance found within the Understanding and Exploration Framework et al. (Kaplan, Kaplan, and Ryan, 1998) and amenity performance listed by Echols and Pennypacker’s Amenity Goals et al. (2007) through vegetated SMS. These design guidelines illustrate how aesthetic theory can be applied through ecological systems in order to increase the coherence, legibility, complexity, and mystery (Kaplan & Kaplan, 1989) of existing sites. Creating spaces where ecological and socio-cultural activities can coexist addresses the local characteristics of aesthetics with the universal dilemma of stormwater management.

Texto completoDoctor of Philosophy
Freshwater phytoplankton, which are microscopic primary producers, are experiencing many environmental changes in lakes and reservoirs due to global change. This includes changes in water temperature, which affects phytoplankton growth and the types of phytoplankton that are present in the water. As a result, phytoplankton communities are changing in ways that affect water quality. For example, phytoplankton may grow rapidly and form blooms which cause unsightly surface scums, clog filters at water treatment plants, or release toxins. My dissertation research uses ecosystem experiments, computer modeling, and large datasets from many lakes to study how the interactions between phytoplankton and their environment might change due to human activities. I found that it is difficult to predict how phytoplankton will respond to changes in water temperature over the short term (days to weeks), but that longer-term (months to years) responses to water temperature changes are more predictable. I also found that the types of phytoplankton present in the water vary across depth in response to light, temperature, and predation. Since the species of phytoplankton that are present determine a waterbody's water quality, my results indicate that water quality can vary substantially among different depths. Finally, I found that the greatest sources of uncertainty in predicting phytoplankton are due to the challenges in accurately measuring the amount of phytoplankton that are present in a lake and representing complex phytoplankton processes in computer models. My research demonstrates that it is important to think about multiple types of phytoplankton and how they interact with the environment, not just the total amount of phytoplankton present, when predicting how water quality will change due to global change. In addition, it is important to consider the uncertainty associated with predictions of phytoplankton when we make decisions about how to manage water quality.

Texto completoAquesta tesi situa els discursos sobre la història de l’escolta musical en el context del camp, relativament recent, dels estudis de so (sound studies). Els tres primers capítols es proposen il·luminar la contigüitat entre els estudis de so i l’anomenat “gir sensorial” (sensory turn), que es va introduir en les ciències humanes i socials a partir dels anys 80. La investigació parteix de la historicitat de les nocions que fem servir habitualment per descriure l’estructura de la psique humana; nocions utilitzades per estudiosos i no estudiosos, com ara “sensació” i “percepció”, que sovint s’invoquen per explicar la diferència entre “sentir” i “escoltar”. Els capítols 1 i 2 s’ocupen del desenvolupament històric de la noció de “construcció cultural dels sentits”, que ha estat tan important dins del “gir sensorial”, i en aquest context expliquen l’emergència de l’antropologia dels sentits i les emocions, fent referència també a les crítiques formulades des de l’antropologia del cos i la fenomenologia. La narrativa d’aquests capítols subratlla el paper dins d’aquest procés històric d’autors, nocions i elaboracions teòriques relacionades amb l’audició i formulades des d’una comprensió d’aquesta. El capítol 3 repassa l’aparició en la història europea d’una consciència de la historicitat dels sentits i les emocions, a partir sobretot de les aportacions de l’escola francesa dels Annales. Tracta també alguns problemes teòrics i metodològics que planteja la historiografia dels sentits i les emocions, en especial les dificultats per establir-ne una periodització, també en el cas de l’audició. Els capítols 4, 5 i 6 formen el nucli històric de la tesi, que se centra sobretot en la modernitat, des del segle XV fins a la segona meitat del XIX, és a dir, fins a la publicació de l’obra de Helmholtz Die Lehre von den Tonempfindungen als physiologische Grundlage für die Theorie der Musik (1863), un text clau en la història de l’acústica i la fisiologia, que va posar també en qüestió la relació entre l’aproximació científica i estètica a la música i l’audició. Aquests tres capítols volen connectar la història de l’estètica i la història de la ciència combinant diferents línies temàtiques: la història de la investigació anatòmica i fisiològica sobre l’oïda i l’audició, la història de l’acústica i l’arqueologia de les tecnologies auditives, i els discursos històrics, en clau estètica, sobre l’escolta musical.

Texto completoIn 1987 Ntombikayise Priscilla Kubheka was abducted, tortured, killed and her body dumped by apartheid security police. She was an uMkhonto WeSizwe (MK), the armed wing of the African National Congress (ANC), commander based in Durban and was in charge of weaponry storage and organised safe houses for those returning from exile. Amnesty applications and perpetrator testimony given at the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s (TRC) amnesty hearings alleged that Kubheka had died, while being interrogated, from a heart attack. The perpetrators claimed the heart attack was possibly as a result of Kubheka being overweight. In 1997 the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) exhumed skeletal remains and items of clothing, including a floral dress, from a pauper grave in Charlottedale cemetery, Groutville. The exhumed skull indicated a bullet wound. The post-mortem and numerous forensic examinations confirmed the identification of the skeletal remains to be those of Kubheka. The forensic examinations of the items of clothing confirmed the findings of the skeletal examinations in establishing identification. These forensic examinations and its findings contested testimony given by the perpetrators. Through the TRC investigations and its findings, a question of what it may mean to re-humanise the once missing emerges. This mini-thesis underscores a notion of re-humanisation through the work of the TRC in its investigation into the enforced disappearance of Kubheka. It suggests that figuring Kubheka through a notion of re-humanisation in the context of the TRC requires one to understand both de-humanisation and re-humanisation and the ways in which gender complicates these understandings. It does so by examining testimonies, t he exhumation, the forensic examinations, the emergence of a forensic aesthetic and the productions of biographies and forensic memory to understand how these might be processes and strategies of re-humanisation. This mini-thesis then is a forensic history that navigates a politics of the dead by examining the figuring of Kubheka through various fields and in various forums. In so doing, the argument presented in what follows is that the notion of re-humanisation is an inherently unstable one but at its core is a politics of the dead that misses gender it its figuring of the human.

Texto completoMaster of Science
Headwater catchments (where precipitation first becomes streamflow) provide important aquatic habitat and regulate downstream water flows and chemistry. Recent advances in water quality monitoring technologies have created an opportunity to better assess water chemistry variability by using high frequency, submerged water quality sensors. However, these new technologies present new, unique challenges, such as measurement errors that may be induced by different installation methodologies. Accurate measurements are particularly important to evaluate how changes in catchment conditions (e.g., soils, vegetation) impact local and downstream water quality. For example, prescribed fire is a commonly used forest management tool, but questions remain about how it affects catchment soils and headwater stream chemistry. Consequently, understanding the effects of this and other catchment disturbances requires coupled monitoring of both soil properties and water quality. In this thesis, I addressed two objectives: i) assess the effects of commonly used protective housings on water quality sensor measurements (Chapter 2) and ii) evaluate prescribed burn effects in a southwestern Virginia, USA headwater catchment (Chapter 3). In Chapter 2, I demonstrated substantial effects from some of the housings evaluated and suggest that water quality sensors should be deployed in housing types with large openings perpendicular to flow. In Chapter 3, I demonstrated some significant effects of prescribed fire on soil properties (e.g. overall decrease in soil stability, general decreases in total carbon and nitrogen of mineral soils), water quality (e.g., increased levels of dissolved organic matter, turbidity, and nitrate) and flow (increases in stream water levels and flow). While these changes were statistically significant, differences in parameters before and after fire were generally small. Future work should examine if these effects persist through time, and whether this minor level of disturbance causes any negative environmental impacts.
