Broadhurst, Simon John. « Non-man-entry sewer renovation robot characteristics ». Thesis, Sheffield Hallam University, 2000. http://shura.shu.ac.uk/19398/.
Texte intégralRésumé :
The reported work lies in the area of automation in the construction industry, and involves multi-disciplinary engineering studies. In particular, sewer renovation methods, computer vision (CV) and robotics are all included. More specifically, the key objective of the research programme was to investigate the characteristics of retrofit components suited to mounting on an industrial / proprietary sewer tractor. The overall aim was the provision of a non-man-entry (NME) sewer renovation robot to undertake reconnection of lateral junctions, following a cured-in-place (CIP) relining process. The programme primarily involved theoretical studies of the requisite sensory and kinematic components, incorporation of a novel computer vision sensing system and production of a chainage measurement system and robotic drill task arm. The theory was supported by laboratory testing using a modified proprietary tractor, with emphasis placed on promoting applications of information technology driven systems (i.e. CV) to construction-industry tasks within hazardous environments involving significant health issues. The use of such techniques in the construction industry is rare. Chapter 1 reviews the context and history of sewer maintenance/dereliction in the UK. NME sewers are the most common type and are, by definition, difficult to maintain. Renovation, typically employing CIP liners, is therefore a cost-effective alternative to replacement. Lateral connections are, inevitably, blocked off during the relining process; it is suggested that application of a robust robotic system to the task of reconnecting them is novel and offers clear potential within such a hazardous environment. Chapters 2 and 3 develop the underlying theoretical models of the CV and kinematic systems respectively. The novel CV work (provided by third party specialists employing the TINA CV research environment) was incorporated by the author to provide detection and classification of lateral junctions, crucially noting the particular properties of direct and reflected illumination. Classification aspects include estimation of lateral/NME intersection angle and closure-to-target distance from the robot. The author proposes a separate procedure for estimating lateral diameter. A chainage measurement system, using a rotary encoder and inclinometer, was developed to determine invert path distance travelled. This allows for the inevitable wander and thereby gives the system robustness. The novel application of GRASP (a robotic modelling and simulation design tool) to NME environments, provided the ability to model arm designs without the need for the production of more than one expensive physical prototype. A mathematical solution for determining the requisite arm kinematics is presented. Chapter 4 details the hardware requirements of the robotic system components, whilst Chapters 5 and 6 present the laboratory evaluation results for the kinematic and CV systems respectively. The abilities of the CV system qualitatively to detect laterals under reflected illumination, and to provide quantitative classification data, are demonstrated. The chainage measurement system is assessed under a variety of initialisation conditions to determine suitability to task, and the ability of the robotic arm to physically simulate lateral reconnection is investigated. Chapter 7 discusses the specification for an industrially-applicable prototype, based on the findings herein. Appropriate comparisons with the pre-prototype system are made, including cost. Finally, Chapter 8 draws conclusions and makes suggestions for further work. Supporting documentation is provided in Chapter 9 and the Appendices.

Driehuis, Raymond. « Man makes man : a study of uplifting and upbuilding in the novels of Joseph Furphy ». Thesis, Edith Cowan University, Research Online, Perth, Western Australia, 1999. https://ro.ecu.edu.au/theses/1226.
Texte intégralRésumé :
In a letter to Kate Baker, circa November 1910, Furphy wrote, '[b]ut ain't it anomalous that the erratic G.H [Grant Hervey], the saintly Dr. Strong, and the perverse T.C. [Tom Collins] should be working strenuously toward the same goal, namely, the uplifting and upbuildlng of Australia' (In Barnes and Hoffmann, eds, 1995:259. My Italics). This thesis is an Investigation of the ideas of uplifting and upbuildlng, and their relevance to Tom Collins and his concerns. The reason for Furphy waiting so long to lay bare his designs can only be speculated. Rather than accepting the general critical stance that Collins is unreliable, and that Furphy meticulously sets out to expose his flaws, this thesis argues that this is not the case. Since he distanced himself publicly from his own novels, refusing to have authorship credited to his name, Furphy wanted his readers to respond to Collins not as his literary creation, but as a fully developed and self-reliant identity capable of setting an example of what it means to uplift and upbuild a national community. The ideas of uplifting and upbuilding are simple enough to comprehend. Yet a proper appreciation of their scope in the novels requires a careful consideration of the historical context which links Collins to many issues of the 1880s. The chief issue is the textual construction of an Australian identity vis-á-vis an Anglo-Australian identity, and the Influence literature has on the common mind. Because of his Involvement with uplifting, upbuilding and self-reliance, there is a complexity to Tom Collins that is the result of his being the implied author, controlling the selection of characters and their narratives, as well as his own self-image, in the novels. The thesis argues that Collins' representation of "Collins", and other characters in the Riverina, is designed to represent the "right" qualities for an Australian character or type, which is consistent with uplifting and upbuilding. For these reasons, the novels are considered as Collins' strategic response to the contemporary representations of life in terms of their value to the search for meaning, and to ways of seeing and responding to the good of an Australian life. Indeed, the character of Tom Collins is very much concerned with personal and communal well-being in an environment of colonial loyalties, rivalry and division, and a landscape often categorized as exotically cruel or dangerous. Because this is so, Collins is concerned with the value of education, with the value of notable Western thinkers and artists, and with the shifting of ignorance for better judgment. He is also concerned with the benefits of democracy and the democratic temper over aristocracy and its emphasis on class and station. Collins is quite a modern thinker, deeply concerned with actions and consequences in art and life. He is a modern thinker because he believes, as Paine, Emerson and Whitman do, that the idea of natural rights is the cornerstone of moral progress for civilization, but only if men and women accept and practise the civil rights that necessarily come with the pursuit of liberty, fraternity, equality and happiness.

Ramnath, Maria Melissa. « Thin bedded reservoirs in the Plio-Pleistocene of the Columbus Basin, offshore Trinidad : challenges of reservoir architecture, quantification and characteristics ». Thesis, University of Manchester, 2015. http://www.manchester.ac.uk/escholar/uk-ac-man-scw:264944.
Texte intégralRésumé :
The Columbus Basin, offshore Trinidad, is a mature gas producing basin with a number of major fields now in decline. Focus for infield exploration and production is shifting, with thin bedded sandstones as a secondary pay target. This basin is exceptional as age equivalent analogues to the subsurface reservoirs are exposed along the south east coast of Trinidad at Mayaro Bay (16 – 25 m sections). This research utilizes these outcrops and integrates findings with subsurface core data to present an improved understanding of thin bedded sandstones in three significant areas: 1) depositional setting on a wave dominated delta through description and interpretation of their large scale architecture and facies associations, 2) reservoir quality and connectivity of the facies and microfacies that comprise these heterolithic units through petrography and pore system characterization and 3) pore scale reservoir quality and connectivity through micro CT imaging and 3D modelling of their pore system morphology. Detailed sedimentological analysis has revealed that thin beds are highly interbedded units with thicknesses of 0.1 – 10 cm and have a lenticular geometry. Their lateral extent, controlled by their exposure, varies from 3 to 10s m in some areas. Field sampling and microfacies analysis, revealed five distinct lithofacies types and five microfacies types that make up two principal facies associations (FA): (FA1) axial distal delta front facies and (FA2) lateral distal delta front facies. The reservoir quality poroperm data achieved for the thin sandstones of these two facies associations are consistent with routine core analysis data from basin core and industry assigned values for conventional thicker bedded sandstones, inferring their secondary reservoir potential. Utilizing new techniques such as X-Ray tomography, a high resolution 3D model of the thin sandstone pore systems has been created for qualitative and quantitative reservoir characterization, especially vertical and lateral connectivity within the thin bedded units. This detailed dataset of 3D pore dimensions that can be used as conditioning data for other reservoir models. The observations and conclusions of this research give an insight into the depositional architecture and thin bedded sandstones on a distal delta front and their associated reservoir properties and connectivity mechanisms that facilitate an effective reservoir. These findings may inform and guide future exploration and appraisal, development and production and well completion and configuration programmes for thin bedded reservoirs as explained by the implications and recommendations at the end of this thesis.

Bean, Emily Anne. « Man Shall Not Live By Bread, At All : A Netnography of the Key Characteristics and Purposes of an Online Gluten-Free Community ». BYU ScholarsArchive, 2014. https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/etd/4082.
Texte intégralRésumé :
This study is a netnography of an online gluten-free community through the scope of the Facebook group "Gluten Free." The objective of this qualitative inquiry is to investigate the key characteristics of this online gluten-free community and gain a deeper understanding of member purposes for participation. Employing the method of netnography allows for an unobtrusive exploration of the community by discreetly utilizing anthropological techniques in an online setting. Despite growing awareness, no academic research has yet been conducted on the social aspects of the online gluten-free community. The thematic findings that emerged from this study were two-fold. First, this investigation revealed three key characteristic themes in the content of community posts: suspiciousness and distrust, defensiveness and frustration, and passion and determination. Second, this analysis discovered three purposive themes for member participation: validation, friendship, and education. The findings of this study render a thick description of the unique culture of the online gluten-free community, sharpen the academic understanding of online communities, and strengthen the valuable method of netnography.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Det finns olika definitioner av vad en ledare är, vad som är bra ledarskap och det finns en mängd olika ledarskapstyper. En ledare för ett lag är någon som oftast i huvudsak har ansvar att planera träningen. Idag ställs det högre krav på tränare och det krävs mer planering för att nå goda resultat på hög nivå. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka elittränares syn på att bli och vara elittränare. Metoden var en kvalitativ metod där åtta stycken intervjuer har genomförts. Resultatet visar att de flesta tränarna har liknande egenskaper och tankesätt. Dessutom har samtliga tränare utbildningar kopplade till idrotten och några har även läst på universitet. De viktigaste egenskaperna hos en tränare enligt respondenterna är att elittränare ska vara bra på att kommunicera, ha positiv inställning och vara tydliga. De ska även vara omtänksamma, ha en bra kompetens och vara målinriktade.There are different definitions of what a leader is, what is good leadership and there are a variety of leadership types. A leader of a team is someone who usally primarily responsible to plan the training. Today is it a higher burden on the coach and it requires more planning in order to achieve good results at high level. The purpose of this study is to investigate the elite coach´s vision of becoming and being elite coaches. The method was a qualitative method where eight interviews have been conducted. The results show that most of the coaches have similar characteristics and way of thinking. In addition, all the coaches have training linked to sport and a few have also studied at university. The main characteristics of a coach according to respondents is that elite coaches should be good at communicating, have a positive attitude and be clear. They should also be considerate, to have good skills and targets.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Esta investigación se centra en el análisis discursivo de dos trilogías cinematográficas, The Dark Knight (Nolan, 2005, 2008, 2012) y Iron Man (Favreau 2008, 2010; Black, 2013), producidas entre el 2005 y el 2013, en el marco de la llamada War on Terror, que encabezara el entonces presidente de Estados Unidos, George W. Bush, después del ataque a las torres gemelas de Nueva York.
Batman es el superhéroe que más ganancias ha redituado a la industria del entretenimiento en todos los tiempos, su trilogía The Dark Knight se construye a partir del cómic en miniserie Batman Year One, en 1988, de Frank Miller, obra de culto que presenta la versión más oscura del superhéroe. En cuanto a Iron Man, el personaje ha tenido una gran aceptación en la audiencia, la película Iron Man 3 es una de las cinco películas más taquilleras de todos los tiempos en el mercado mundial, es sin duda, la representación del superhéroe en la modernidad líquida.
Ambas trilogías se insertan en el paisaje mediático de los últimos años como prácticas culturales donde la figura del superhéroe destaca como sistema de representación dominante que posibilita la defensa de una política intervencionista disfrazada de protección. La guerra se lleva a la gran pantalla, y es en el juego de la representación donde toma sentido esta tesis. Los superhéroes como íconos de la cultura popular americana han sido ampliamente estudiados, sin embargo esta investigación se inspira en el trabajo de Stuart Hall, por lo que conceptos como contextualismo radical, articulación y coyuntura, resultan fundamental en el planteamiento del problema. Se subraya además que el análisis se realiza desde una perspectiva semiótica-discursiva transdisciplinaria a partir del trabajo realizado por Julieta Haidar.This study is a discursive analysis of two cinematographic trilogies produced between the years 2005-2013: The Dark Knight (Nolan, 2005, 2008, 2012) and Iron Man (Favreau 2008, 2010; Black, 2013). Both were produced at the height of 'The War on Terror', which encompasses the post 9-11 administration of President George W. Bush. In all of the movie industry's history, the highest profit yielding superhero has been none other than Batman, whose trilogy The Dark Knight is based on the comic miniseries Batman Year One (1988) by Frank Miller—the darkest rendition of the cult superhero-. As for Iron Man, this persona has been well received by the public. The movie Iron Man 3 is one of the top five highest grossing films of all time on the world market. It is without a doubt, the representation par excellence of the superhero in liquid times. Both trilogies permeate the mediascape of the past few years as cultural practices in which the image of the superhero stands out as a hegemonic system of representation justifying or legitimating an interventionist foreign policy under the guise of security. The war unfolds on the big screen and it is in the art of representation that this thesis takes place. Superheroes as icons of American popular culture have been studied at length. However, this study, inspired by the works of Stuart Hall on "radical contextualism" and on "conjuncturalism", an essential component to the problem statement, emphasizes analysis from a semiotic- discursive and interdisciplinary perspective and builds on the work done by Julieta Haidar.

M. Sc., Department of Industrial Design
Supervisor: Assoc. Prof. Dr. Çigdem Erbug April 2004, 184 pages Developments in the usability discipline have lead to new paths in new product development processes. The methods for development of usable products are abundant and the area is crescent for new research. One of the concerns in usability lies in the question of employment of user centered design in the prevailing product development processes. In this study, it is aimed to be clarified that inquiry into the use context should be an initial step in user centered design. However, use context is one of the less explored areas of usability. Detailed examinations of contextual factors may open paths to new methods of integrating usability into products. This study aims to take a step towards the analysis of the impact of socio economic factors on usability of product. A field study is made in order to acquire a deeper understanding. Samples of two different socio-economic groups are defined from the marketing perspective. Contextual factors are specified on the example of washing machines. Comparison of problems between the users from the two socio economic groups shed light on the relationship between socio economic variables and usability problems.

Healthy city, developed and managed by city area in recent years, is the important local action. A city is not only the economic system of humanity life, but also to be the living area in which people live, grow up with happy and carefree minds. However, disaster emerged continuously has caused people to worry about the development of environment. Therefore, how to master properties of disaster, which prevent city disaster from being emerged and promote the safety of environment, should be the important topic about city precaution against natural calamities’ plan, and should be also the one of key points to live city in which we practice healthy and safety. This article about spatial Characteristic of city calamity is the major researching focus. The article tries to instance Tainan City in Taiwan, and collect datum in the 119 emergency and rescue command center. To show the datum of historical disaster, through the way of statistics and analysis, combining with spatial analysis instruments in Geographic Information System (GIS), via spatial Geo-coding mapping which is a transformation system about disaster’s position, the calamites over the past three years are examined about the spatial gathering and spreading features and occurring potential Hot Area, and the spatial property of city calamity and relation of local land used are analyzed. To proceed in the simulation analysis of emergency rescue services standard, the performance of emergency response facilities and location characteristics of potential demands are major focus, further applying GIS and performing Maximal-Covering Location Problem with Lagrangian Relaxation. All about this result could not only analyze city humanity calamities spatial characteristics and rescue facilities performance and potential demand features, but could be the reference of rescue facilities distribution in the future.

Abstract In this thesis, the ground fault characteristics of closed-loop very high voltage(VHV) underground distribution system (VHV underground loop) are studied which includes the ground potential rises(GPR), step and touch voltages on the utility and customer substation grounding systems and the current distributions on the cable shielding conductors. The grounding conditions of cable shielding conductors are considered which includes common grounding or individual grounding for the cables in the man-holes, the variation of grounding resistances and the on or off states of the surge arresters in the cable-cover-protection unit(CCPU). For a VHV underground loop, the grounding grids in utility and customer substation and the grounding electrodes in the man-holes are connected together via cable shielding conductors and interconnected conductors (auxiliary grounding wires). So, the ground fault current of any one of customer will flow pass through all other customers’ grounding systems and thus produce GPR, step and touch voltages and large current on shielding conductors or flow into surge arresters. These problems have been found from the study results and their affections are also assessed, and this study provide useful data for improving the performances of VHV underground loop. Keyword: very high voltage underground loop, cable grounding

Caldwell, Christine Sego. « IMAGINING THE OTHER : THE POSSIBILITIES AND LIMITS OF THE SYMPATHETIC IMAGINATION IN J. M. COETZEE’S RECENT FICTION ». Thesis, 2011. http://hdl.handle.net/1805/2710.
Texte intégralRésumé :
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI)In three of J. M. Coetzee’s recent novels, Disgrace (1999), Elizabeth Costello (2003), and Slow Man (2005), the South African author explores notions of authorship and challenges the possibilities of the sympathetic imagination. The notion of the sympathetic imagination has roots in Romanticism, and it connotes inhabiting another in order to understand or interpret. Romantic poet John Keats described the poet as “continually in for [sic] and filling some other body” (Letter to Richard Woodhouse), and Coetzee addresses the notion of the sympathetic imagination in his work. There are two facets of the sympathetic imagination: that which governs social relations and that which authors and creative minds attempt to claim as a driving force behind their work. It is important not to conflate the two separate facets of the sympathetic imagination. The social facet encourages good citizenship and allows humankind to behave in humane ways. It counters one’s private desire for mastery and balances self-interest with self-sacrifice; the sympathetic imagination helps others attain their goals and places others’ needs alongside one’s own selfishness. A sympathetic imagination is an essential quality in society, yet it will always yield only partial success. It cannot achieve complete success because truly inhabiting and embodying another living person is simply impossible, but in fiction, Coetzee explores the possibilities and limits of the sympathetic imagination at the level of language and metaphor. The other facet of the sympathetic imagination is often claimed by authors, poets, and artists to allow them to inhabit the subjects of their creativity. Coetzee tests the limits of authorial claims that writing is accomplished by applying a sympathetic imagination. In doing so, he creates metaphysical frames in which his own author-characters interact with other characters to reveal that some characters resist being written. In these metaphysical frames of fiction, Coetzee suggests that an author’s sympathetic imagination will never have total success; he sets forth a notion of partial success that helps address what is gained when the sympathetic imagination runs up against limits. My argument is that the authors and characters in these three novels attempt acts of sympathetic imagination and recurrently encounter limits. Coetzee questions perceived notions of authorship and the possibilities of the sympathetic imagination without offering alternatives. He critiques common notions of authorship and character writing but offers no real solutions.
