Huvudfrågeställningen i studien var om Sjöfartshögskolan i Kalmar kursplaner uppfyller de krav som ställs i STCW del A-III/1 på utbildningsprogrammen för sjöingenjörer. Syftet med arbetet var att verifiera Sjöfartshögskolan i Kalmars kursplaners uppfyllelse av STCW-kraven enligt del A-III/1 för sjöingenjörer. Metoden som användes var en kvalitativ litteraturstudie där de i STCW uppställda kraven enligt del A-III/1 studerades och jämfördes med kursplanerna inom utbildningsprogrammet för sjöingenjörer på Sjöfartshögskolan i Kalmar. Resultatet som framkom var att 72 % av kraven i A-III/1 var uppfyllda i kursplanerna för Sjöingenjörsprogrammet i Kalmar. Min rekommendation är att kursplanerna ses över och justeras för att bättre stämma överens med STCW-kraven, för att säkerhetsställa att kvaliteten på utbildningen är hög och konstant.

Streszczenie:

The purpose of this Master’s Thesis is to produce a specification for the aircraft conflict alert system STCA, and implement a prototype as a module in the air traffic surveillance system NOVA9000.

The specification is constructed based on functional requirements from EUROCONTROL and describes a system using a nominal trajectory method, where the future paths of aircraft are estimated. The trajectory is created using a probabilistic approach, where future positions are described with probability fields.

The prototype is implemented using the specification with some simplifications. The prototype is evaluated using recorded traffic from a heavy air traffic region surrounding an airport with parallel runways. 15 alerts were induced in 1,5 hour of morning traffic; this is far too much to be acceptable. Improvements are proposed and explanations to the high rate of alerts are made.

Under hösten 1997 och våren/hösten1998 har ett pilotprojekt bedrivits i Linköpings kommun. Det är drivet av Kungliga Vetenskapsakademien och Kungliga Ingenjörsakademien och handlar om ett amerikanskt undervisningsmaterial inom naturvetenskap och teknik. På engelska heter det"Science and Technology for Children"vilket givit namnet STC. Det är ett temaarbete med 24 olika teman att använda under de 6 första skolåren.

För att använda materialet i skolan har vissa utvalda delar översatts till svenska. Det är endast en direktöversättning och inget speciellt anpassat till den svenska skolan. Detta arbete har jag gjort för att undersöka hur det går att använda STC materialet Motion and Design enligt våra svenska styrdokument. Jag har även tittat på varför lärare fastnar för det.

Resultatet visar att det fungerar relativt bra utifrån de förutsättningar materialet hade när det provades. I framtiden kan vissa förändringar ske utifrån utvärderingar och respons från lärare. Materialet är väldigt tilltalande enligt konceptet att allt kommer i en låda och är förberett.

Resumo: A Stanniocalcina-1 (STC1) humana é uma glicoproteína homóloga a Stanniocalcina (STC) originalmente identificada como um hormônio regulador da homeostase de cálcio em peixes. A STC1 humana secretada atua em diferentes processos fisiológicos incluindo a angiogênese, a hipóxia e, principalmente, a carcinogênese, demonstrando assim uma atividade abrangente. Atualmente não se conhece o receptor da STC1 e pouco se sabe sobre o mecanismo de ação e de entrada nas células dessa proteína. Assim, o objetivo desse trabalho foi investigar um candidato a receptor de membrana dessa proteína, o receptor de transferrina (TfR1), uma proteína transmembrana responsável pela absorção de ferro nas células. Esse receptor é provavelmente expresso por todas as células em diferentes níveis, em destaque em células do sistema hematopoiético, em células em divisão celular e células neoplásicas. Assim, avaliou-se por citometria de fluxo o efeito do tratamento com STC1 em células não transfectadas e células transfectadas superexpressando o receptor de transferrina. Células tratadas com STC1 demonstraram um efeito semelhante ao tratamento com transferrina, um conhecido ligante desse receptor, no qual ambos diminuíram o número de células positivas para a marcação da superfície com transferrina conjugada com fluorocromo (transferrina-Alexa Fluor® 488 - Life Technologies). Em outro conjunto de experimentos de Western Blot foi demonstrado que a STC1 adicionada no sobrenadante das culturas de células é internalizada nas células e detectável no lisado celular, principalmente as células transfectadas para a superexpressão do receptor de transferrina. Complementarmente, em experimentos de localização subcelular por imunofluorescência a STC1 foi detectada em uma forma pontual e espalhada no citoplasma. Em conjunto, todos esses experimentos sugerem que STC1 e transferrina interferem na localização do receptor de transferrina na superfície celular e que possivelmente esse receptor está envolvido em mecanismos de internalização da própria STC1
Abstract: Human Stanniocalcin 1 (STC1) is the mammalian homologue of STC, which was originally identified as a calcium-regulating hormone in bony fishes. The human secreted Stanniocalcin acts on different physiological processes, including angiogenesis, hypoxia and especially carcinogenesis, facts that demonstrate their activity is wide. Currently there are few data on the mechanism of action of this protein or how it enters the cell. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate transferrin receptor (TfR1) as a candidate to membrane receptor protein of STC1. This receptor is a membrane protein responsible for the iron uptake in cells. This receptor is probably expressed by all cells especially by cells in division and cancer cells, but its expression level may vary. We evaluated by flow cytometry the effect of STC1 treatment in non-transfected cells and cell with TfR1 overexpression. The treatment with STC demonstrated a similar effect to treatment with transferrin, a known ligand for receptor, which decreased the number of positive cells for staining with fluorochrome (transferrin conjugated to Alexa Fluor® 488 - Life Technologies). We also demonstrated by Western Blot that STC1 added to the supernatant of cultures of cells, especially cells that overexpress transferrin receptor, is internalized into the cells and detectable in the cell lysate. Additionally, in subcellular localization experiments by immunofluorescence STC1 was detected in a timely manner and scattered in the cytoplasm. Together all this information suggests that STC1 and transferrin interferes with the localization of the transferrin receptor in the cellular surface and perhaps this receptor is involved in the mechanism of internalization of STC1

Denna rapport är en jämförande studie av sjukvårdsutbildningen MedicalCare och hur den fungerar i verkligheten. Till sjöss är ”läkaren” en sjöman, med endast ett fåtal veckors sjukvårds-utbildning bakom sig och en erfarenhet som inte går att jämföra med den samlade sakkunskap som finns på ett sjukhus iland. Det ställs snarlika krav på sjömannen ombord som på läkaren iland vad gäller omhändertagande av den skadade. Internationellt sett finns det en konvention som styr hur MedicalCare-utbildningen skall vara konstruerad. Dessa direktiv är satta för att sjömän världen över skall ha samma riktlinjer att utbilda sig efter och få en likvärdig kompetens när kursen är genomförd. Studien har använt sig av en kvalitativ intervjustudie för att samla in information. Resultatet av denna undersökning visar att MedicalCare-kursen skiljer sig åt mellan skolorna, trots att alla arbetar efter samma regler.
This study is a comparison of how the MedicalCare-education works in reality. At sea the “Doctor” is a sailor with only a few weeks of medical training, with an experience not comparable with the expertise found in a hospital ashore. However he or she is faced with almost the same demands and responsibilities when it comes to nurse for the wounded person. Internationally there is a convention that states how the MedicalCare-education shall be constructed. These directions are set because all the sailors’ world wide shall have an equivalent education and the same guidelines to the structure of their training, for them to reach equal competence when the education is fulfilled. This study has collected information by conducting qualitative interviews This survey shows that although the demands are the same world wide, the education differs between the countries.

Streszczenie:

Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is the dominant transport protocol today and likely to be adopted in future high‐speed and optical networks. A number of literature works have been done to modify or tune the Additive Increase Multiplicative Decrease (AIMD) principle in TCP to enhance the network performance. In this work, to efficiently take advantage of the available high bandwidth from the high‐speed and optical infrastructures, we propose a Stratified TCP (STCP) employing parallel virtual transmission layers in high‐speed networks. In this technique, the AIMD principle of TCP is modified to make more aggressive and efficient probing of the available link bandwidth, which in turn increases the performance. Simulation results show that STCP offers a considerable improvement in performance when compared with other TCP variants such as the conventional TCP protocol and Layered TCP (LTCP).

Streszczenie:

Compact heterochromatin is essential for genome stability and hence cell survival. Studies in many organisms including humans underline the importance of pericentromeric heterochromatin in centromere function. Fission yeast centromeres share a common structural organisation with those of their metazoan counterparts. The fission yeast model has been pivotal in understanding many key events in the pathway leading to the assembly of pericentromeric heterochromatin. In particular, studies in this system have revealed that the RNA interference (RNAi) pathway connects with the chromatin modification machinery to impart proper heterochromatin formation. Transcription of the pericentromeres by RNA polymerase II (Pol II) produces double stranded RNA (ds RNA) which is processed by Dicer(Dcr1) into small interfering RNAs (siRNAs). These siRNAs are loaded onto the Argonaute protein Ago1, and target the Ago1- containing RITS (RNA-Induced Transcriptional Silencing) complex to the pericentromeres via complementary base-pairing of the siRNA to the nascent centromeric transcript. RITS then recruits the sole Histone H3-K9-methyl transferase, Clr4, as part of the Clr4-complex, CLRC. The resulting H3K9-methyl marks further result in the recruitment of downstream chromatin binding proteins including the HP1- homolgue Swi6 which plays a key role in cohesin retention. Additionally, the H3K9- methyl marks are required for stabilising the association of CLRC and RITS, thereby promoting a reinforcing loop within the RNAi-mediated heterochromatin pathway. Thus crosstalk between RITS and CLRC is important in establishing and maintaining silent chromatin at the pericentromeres. Stc1 has been proposed to act as a critical link that connects the RITS and CLRC complexes. Stc1 is required for heterochromatin establishment and maintenance at the pericentromere and association of RITS with CLRC is lost in the absence of Stc1. Moreover, Stc1 directly interacts with Ago1 and is essential for siRNA production. These and other previous observations (Bayne et al. 2010) highlight the key role played by Stc1 in the RNAi-mediated heterochromatin pathway. To understand how Stc1 mediates the specific cross-talk between RNAi and chromatin modification, I have investigated the nature of Stc1 interactions with the RNAi and chromatin modification machineries. Using in-vitro binding assays, I found that Stc1 directly interacts with the CLRC subunits Dos2 and Clr4. I also identified the RITS subunit Tas3 as a potential interactor of Stc1, in addition to Ago1. A collaborating research group elucidated the structure of Stc1 using NMR (He et al. 2013) and my study provides evidence for interactions via the distinct domains of Stc1. Stc1 utilises its disordered C-terminus to bind to Dos2 while the N-terminus, which contains a tandem zinc finger domain, acts as a multi-protein interaction interface binding the CLRC subunit Clr4 and RITS subunits Ago1 and Tas3, opening up possibilities for Stc1-containing distinct-complexes. My work provides new insights into the role of Stc1 and opens up future avenues of research key to understanding how heterochromatin domains are defined and maintained.

Denna uppsats är skriven höstterminen 1997, då ett nytt läromedel började utvärderas i Linköping. Den svenska skolan har sedan en tid haft bristande natur- och teknikundervisning i de lägre årskurserna. Den Kungliga Vetenskapsakademien gav vissa av Linköpings skolor uppdraget att i lärarlag arbeta med ett nytt material, för att kunna se dess fördelar och brister. Materialet heter Science and Technology for Children (STC) och är framtaget av den amerikanska organisationen National Science Resource Center. Sedan utvärderingen av STC har läromedlet bytt namn till NTA (Natur och Teknik för Alla).

Den Kungliga Vetenskapsakademien bad också ett antal lärarkandidater på Linköpings lärarhögskola att hjälpa till med utvärderingen. I denna uppsats behandlas ett av de tre teman som utvärderas i Linköping, nämligen Plant growth and Development, ett tema där man får följa en växts hela livscykel.

Uppsatsen är en studie av de utvärderande lärarlagens arbete. En enkät har delats ut för att kartlägga lärarnas attityder till läromedlet. Vissa åsikter har registrerats vid personliga samtal. Syftet är att se om lärarna tycker att STC är något för den svenska skolan, och om användandet av STC kan motiveras av läroplanen, Lpo94.

En los años 90 el Perú experimentó una de las más grandes reformas en el sector eléctrico, pasando de un mercado bajo características de un “monopolio estatal verticalmente integrado” a uno de “competencia mayorista”, debido a que el anterior modelo poseía numerosas deficiencias se vio por necesario abrir camino a uno que fomente la inversión privada y que pueda alinear los interés privados con los estatales mediante la regulación. Es así que nace el COES como una entidad operadora del sistema encargada principalmente de ordenar el despacho diario de energía al mínimo costo entre las generadoras y, posteriormente, determinar y valorizar las inyecciones de potencia y energía activa realizada al sistema. De esta manera, en el presente informe analizaremos el Expediente N° 66-2012-STCOSINERGMIN la cual aborda una problemática surgida en el ámbito de ejercicio de funciones del COES como operador del sistema y OSINERGMIN como Organismo Regulador del sector eléctrico. Por lo cual, recurrimos al análisis tanto de la normativa aplicable durante los hechos acontecidos como de doctrina autorizada a efectos de tener un panorama completo del caso y poder concluir que las valoraciones emitidas por el COES son actos administrativos vinculantes a CASAPALCA y que el mecanismo para hacer efectivo el derecho de crédito creado a favor de ELECTROPERÚ no es la vía de solución de controversias ejercida por OSINERGMIN.
In the 90s, Peru underwent one of the largest reforms in the electricity sector, moving from a market with the characteristics of a "vertically integrated state monopoly" to one of "wholesale competition" because the previous model had numerous deficiencies. It was necessary to open the way to one that encourages private investment and can align private and state interests through regulation. Thus, the COES was born as an operating entity of the system in charge of ordering the daily dispatch of energy at minimum cost among the generators and, later, determining and valuing the injections of power and active energy made to the system. In this way, in this report, we will analyze Resolution No. 66-2012-STC-OSINERGMIN which addresses a problem that arose in the field of exercise of functions of the COES as system operator and OSINERGMIN as Regulatory Body of the electricity sector. Therefore, we resort to the analysis of both the applicable regulations during the events that occurred and the authorized doctrine to have a complete overview of the case and to be able to conclude that the assessments issued by the COES are administrative acts binding on CASAPALCA and that the mechanism for making the credit right created in favor of ELECTROPERU effective is not the means of dispute resolution exercised by OSINERGMIN.

The major driver for broadband wireless communications has been reliable, high-data rate services. In wireless communication, the multipath fading constitutes a bottleneck for increasing data rates and causes performance degradation. To combat fading, we can use diversity. Wireless systems with multiple antennas at the transmitter and receiver have much larger capacity in fading channels than standard wireless systems. The objective of this thesis is to investigate the transmission scheme provided by matrix A and B in the 802.16 standard and show how it can be implemented. The research focuses on using maximal-ratio combining (MRC) to demodulate the transmitted symbols. Modifications to the existing matrix by using more frequency bands were introduced; this reduces the number of transmitting antennas and uses fewer time slots to transmit the same number of symbols. The modulator and demodulator design is also discussed. The performance of orthogonal and non-orthogonal space time codes (STC) are evaluated.

Jag ville även lära mig mer om de skillnader som finns mellan pojkar och flickor i skolan och speciellt i NO.

Mina resultat pekar på att detta undervisningsmaterial är något som är positivt för flickor. STC:s undervisning är på många sätt upplagd som flickor vill att den ska vara i NO. Både flickors och pojkars kommentarer kring STC är positiva

This report details work toward the fabrication of a single-electron transistor created from a single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT). Specifically discussed is a method for growing carbon nanotubes (CNTs) via carbon vapor deposition (CVD). The growth is catalyzed by a solution of 0.02g Fe(NO3)3·9H2O, 0.005g MoO2(acac)2, and 0.015g of alumina particles in 15mL methanol. SWNT diameter ranges from 0.6 to 3.0 nm. Also discussed is a method to control nanotube growth location by patterning samples with small islands of catalyst. A novel “maskless” photolithographic process is used to focus light from a lightweight commercial digital projector through a microscope. Catalyst islands created by this method are approximately 400 μm2 in area.

Jenny Holzer's text-based projects have attracted the attention of critics, historians, and curators from Des Moines to Dresden. An understanding of the complex interplay between language, gender, power, and site within Holzer's work demonstrates how a singular interpretive approach is insufficient for discussing the multitude of meanings her projects produce. Perhaps most significantly, a fresh analysis of Holzer's work and critical reactions to it challenges the story of modernism and postmodernism and the relationship between these two terms.

Social networking sites and virtual spaces have flourished in the past few years. The author explores the impact of such social networking services on the local community at a small liberal arts college. The author investigates modern trends in community theory. Defining community has become more difficult in modern society, where community is no longer easily distinguished by geographical boundaries. From the background of modern community theory the author explores the designation of virtual spaces as “virtual communities.” Literature and research about virtual spaces indicates that they can provide many of the values thought be to inherent to community membership. The strong localized community on campus makes students hesitant in calling Facebook a “virtual community,” despite its strong integration with the face-to-face community itself. Facebook is seen as simply a tool. This thesis incorporates research on one specific case study: through mathematical and ethnographic research of Facebook.com, the author evaluates the opinions of students in considering virtual spaces as communities.

Using the Chandra X-ray Observatory, Martini et al. (2006) found that the AGN fraction of galaxy clusters was five times higher than previous optical studies suggested. Using visual observations only, Dressler et al. (1985) estimated the AGN fraction of field galaxies to be 5%, while that of clusters was thought to be 1%. To understand the role that the environment plays in AGN fueling, the author studied a variety of environments, ranging from the field to groups to clusters. Will the AGN fraction of groups also be higher than that of the field? The author demonstrates how the AGN fraction of groups compares to that of clusters. In the following sections, the author describes the mechanics of X-ray astronomy, the group environment, and the characteristics of active galactic nuclei. The author briefly describes the possible mechanisms for AGN fueling.

The fuzzball model of a black hole is an attempt to resolve the many paradoxes and puzzles of black hole physics that have revealed themselves over the last century. These badly behaved solutions of general relativity have given physicists one of the few laboratories to test candidate quantum theories of gravity. Though little is known about exactly what lies beyond the event horizon, and what the ultimate fate of matter that falls in to a black hole is, we know a few intriguing and elegant semi-classical results that have kept physicists occupied. Among these are the known black hole entropy and the Hawking radiation process.

Paper discusses the expected uncertainty of orbital parameters of binary stars as measured by the space-based gravitational wave observatory LISA (Laser Interferometer Space Antenna) and how the inclusion of spin in the model of the binary stars affects the uncertainty. The uncertainties are found by calculating the received gravitational wave from a binary pair and then performing a linear least-squares parameter estimation. The case of a 1500 solar mass black hole that is 20 years from coalescing with a 1000 solar mass black hole--both of which are 50 x 10^6 light years away--is analyzed, and the results show that the inclusion of spin has a negligible effect upon the angular resolution of LISA but can increase the accuracy in mass and distance measurements by factors of 15 and 65, respectively.

Finding renewable sources of energy is becoming an increasingly important component of scientific research. Greater competition for existing sources of energy has strained the world’s supply and demand balance and has increased the prices of traditional sources of energy such as oil, coal, and natural gas. The experiment discussed in this paper is designed to identify and build an inexpensive and simple method for creating an effective organic solar cell.

The fuzzball model of a black hole is an attempt to resolve the many paradoxes and puzzles of black hole physics that have revealed themselves over the last century. These badly behaved solutions of general relativity have given physicists one of the few laboratories to test candidate quantum theories of gravity. Though little is known about exactly what lies beyond the event horizon, and what the ultimate fate of matter that falls in to a black hole is, we know a few intriguing and elegant semi-classical results that have kept physicists occupied. Among these are the known black hole entropy and the Hawking radiation process.

Streszczenie:

Variational techniques are used to develop a theory for the time evolution of a thin strand of viscous fluid suspended from two points. The shape of the strand is approximated to be a parabola and energy conservation is used to derive a differential equation modeling the change in height over time. Data is collected with a high resolution camera and a strobe light to obtain the position and shape of the strand over multiple intervals of time. Three very different and unexpected types of behaviors are observed depending on the initial thickness and shape of the filament. The approximation fits well with one type of behavior but variations in the thickness of the strand, and consequently in the center of mass, need to be factored in to predict the others.

Streszczenie:

La mujer guerrillera en Latinoamérica es un fenómeno del siglo veinte. Los conflictos armados de Centroamérica crearon condiciones donde la mujer se vio obligada a salir de su rol femenino tradicional para asistir en la lucha armada. Nicaragua y El Salvador son dos países donde los conflictos llegaron a un final, sea por medio de un derrocamiento exitoso del gobierno o por acuerdos de paz. Las mujeres que decidieron participar activamente en la lucha contra el gobierno llegaron a ese punto por vías diferentes y con diferentes metas, pero la experiencia de ser mujer en un ambiente tradicionalmente dominado por hombres no varía tanto entre los dos países. La representación literaria de la mujer guerrillera se encuentra en testimonios contados a entrevistadores, biografías y ficción. Cada género lleva sus características, pero casi siempre se establece el texto como un relato común del país, una mujer extraordinaria entre muchas mujeres extraordinarias. La mujer guerrillera en literatura, especialmente en testimonios, es el intento de relatar la historia de una gente oprimida, no de la individual, para ganar el apoyo y acción por la parte de una audiencia global.

Streszczenie:

Richard Rorty found Friedrich Nietzsche’s critique of epistemology (perspectivism) to be a helpful tool in getting us to stop thinking of knowledge as something we find, and instead as something that we create. He also found perspectivism to be a helpful tool in that of the private sphere, of private self-creation. The Nietzsche that provides perspectivism is “The Good Nietzsche”. Rorty, however, conceived of Nietzsche’s ideas as being absolutely useless when it comes to politics, along with his ideas regarding morality, the Will to Power, and the Übermensch. These are the ideas of “The Bad Nietzsche”. Rorty’s actual usage of Nietzsche’s ideas, however, defies such easy, self-defined categorization, because these ideas extend outside of their spheres into the realm of politics in Rorty’s own writings. Most traditional analyses of the relationship between Nietzsche and Rorty as it regards politics tend to focus on Nietzsche. By focusing on Rorty’s appropriation of Nietzsche, through looking at his extensive writings and interviews, a more subtle, and complex relationship between Nietzsche’s various ideas and Rorty’s politics is seen to exist.

Streszczenie:

Microfinance has become one of the most promising tools for development and poverty alleviation over the past two decades. Millions of borrowers around the globe have utilized microcredit to start or expand their small businesses and raise their household income. One poverty-induced problem microfinance could potentially alleviate is child labor. Despite international legislation prohibiting it, child labor continues to deprive millions of children of their right to education. Without education, there is little hope for a country to increase productivity and wealth in the future. A number of scholars have highlighted a negative correlation between credit rationing and child labor. However, there are no studies that examine whether or not children are less likely to work in households that participate in microfinance programs. In some circumstances, microcredit may increase household income and induce parents to withdraw their children from work while in others, raising the household income level may lead children to work more. In low-income countries with numerous microfinance institutions, many children work despite their parents’ access to credit. In order to examine this paradoxical phenomenon, this thesis presents a number of econometric models which analyze both child labor and credit at the household level. Though these models are vital in explaining the relevant trends, a purely economic analysis fails to capture the political and cultural factors that also engender child labor. To illustrate this complex relationship between economics and mores, this thesis highlights the impact of microfinance on child labor in Bangladesh. Bangladesh is an ideal country for this study because microfinance and child labor are both endemic. Finally, conclusions drawn from this analysis inform policy recommendations to amplify the effectiveness of microfinance on diminishing child labor.

This work uses a modification of the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technique to study the effects of source gas flow geometry (and the corresponding parameters) on carbon nanotube growth. Our approach is to flow the carbon-containing source gas through a nozzle, projecting the gas stream onto targeted regions of the substrate. This technique not only allows the potential for localized nanotube growth, but also offers an interesting opportunity to provide an experimental test of theoretical nanotube growth models.

Pełny tekst źródła

Streszczenie:

The field of biological acoustics has witnessed a steady increase in the research into overtone singing, or “throat-singing,” in which a singer utilizes resonance throughout the vocal tract to sing melodies with the overtones created by a vocal drone. Recent research has explored both how a singer vocalizes in order to obtain rich harmonics from a vocal drone, as well as how further manipulations of the vocal apparatus function to filter and amplify selected harmonics. In the field of phonetics, vowel production is quantified by measuring the frequencies of vocal tract resonances, or formants, which a speaker manipulates to voice a particular vowel. Thus, an investigation of throat singing is closely linked to human speech production. Formants are usually detected in vowel spectra obtained using Fast Fourier Transform algorithms (FFTs). An alternative method that provides much higher frequency resolution is external excitation of the vocal tract and measurement of the pressure response signal at the mouth’s opening, which can be used to calculate the acoustic impedance spectrum. We demonstrate the use of such an “acoustic impedance meter” to measure the formant frequencies of common vowels as well as the oscillatory modes of simple resonant pipe systems. The impedance meter accurately measures fundamental pipe modes and a variety of formant frequencies with an uncertainty of 1 Hz. Finally, we assess how the impedance meter may be used to measure the unique resonances achieved by qualified throat singers.

Streszczenie:

This study analyzes the impact of self-esteem (high vs. low), situational characterization ("negotiate" vs. "ask"), and gender (men vs. women) on the likelihood an individual initiates negotiation (n = 140). Self-esteem was primed with a prompt and the participants were told they could either "negotiate" or "ask" for more money after completing two tasks. A main effect of situational characterization was found such that negotiation was more likely in the "negotiate" condition than in the "ask" condition. Neither self-esteem nor gender produced significant results. A significant interaction showed that men were more likely to negotiate in the "ask" condition, but there were no gender differences in the "negotiate" condition. Finally, gender differences in anticipated future earnings were found. Men held considerably higher expectations for average salary 5 years after graduating from college than women. These results have important implications for training students to negotiate for the salaries they deserve and moving closer to closing the gender wage gap.

Streszczenie:

Two-dimensional information on the kinematics and spatial distribution of gas in spiral galaxies is encoded in radio observations of their one-dimensional 21-cm neutral hydrogen (HI) line profiles. More than ten thousand HI profiles have been published and are publicly available. In order to explore the parameter space mapped out by the 21-cm neutral hydrogen line pro file, we have modified and run a FORTRAN-based computer simulation code. We have identified 7 control parameters that define the morphology of the modelled galaxy: they describe the neutral hydrogen gas distribution (density and spatial location of the gas), characteristics of its rotation curve, warps, asymmetries, and finally, the viewing angle. All except the last of these parameters tell us significant physical information about the galaxy but a determination of them is not immediately apparent from the two-dimensional 21-cm line profile. Hence, the goal of this exploration is to find meaningful correlations between the observed 21-cm line profile features and the underlying physical parameters.

This paper examined a few different types of interacting galaxies and the implications the data has on cosmological theories. An analysis of the Holmberg Effect, Holmberg (1969)’s observation that companion galaxies tend to be near the poles of edge-on galaxies rather than in the planes, was done by reexamining the spirals viewed by Holmberg. Only using radial velocity confirmed companions to test for this effect showed that if anything, the opposite of the Holmberg effect is true. However, due to small number statistics, more edge-on spirals and their companions would have to be viewed in order to determine if this is an actual physical effect of anisotropic companion distribution around primary galaxies. It is important to discover if there is a preferred distribution, because it could point to the distribution of dark matter around the primary galaxies, and have interesting impacts on large-scale universal structure and cosmology theory.

In an age in which the microchip is ubiquitous, the rewards for novel methods of microfabrification are great, and the vast possibilities of nanotechnology lie just a little ahead. Various methods of microlithography offer differing benefits, and even as older techniques such as optical lithography are being refined beyond what were once considered their upper limits of resolution, new techniques show great promise for going even further once they reach their technological maturity. Recent developments in optical lithography may allow it to break the 100-nm limit even without resorting to x-rays.

Streszczenie:

I have organized this paper into four chapters: "The Environmental Situation," "Space and Place," "Art and the Natural Environment," and "Creating Work of My Own." Chapter 1 explains human beings' intrinsic interconnection to the natural environment, outlining why humans should be concerned about the current degraded state of the natural world. Chapter 2 discusses the concepts of space and place. It analyzes how human beings interact with and experience spaces, developing their sense of place - within physical, theoretical, and spiritual realms. It finally illustrates the importance that spaces and places have in humans' lives. Chapter 3 describes the Land Art phenomenon: its development, the different forms within it, and artists producing Land Artworks. The forms and artists included are those that have been inspirational for the development of my own work. It also emphasizes Land Art as a fundamental form for improving humans' relationship with the natural environment and the new realm of eco-feminism that resonates with Land Art ideals. Chapter 4 recounts the development of my art throughout my college career. It describes my work as site-specific, sculptural installations that use natural materials. It also states why this format is the most effective for my senior art thesis project. Focusing mainly on "Ecological Reawakening: organic DNA," it explains the mentality in designing, creating, installing, and completing the work. Overall, Chapter 4 emphasizes the work's two main goals: to demonstrate a new avenue for comprehending humankind's place within earth's environmental spaces, and to advocate for an environmental paradigm shift during the twenty-first century. Finally, Chapter 5 describes the transformation of "Ecological Reawakening: organic DNA" as it developed over time during the spring honors senior thesis course. It details my mentalities in adding living plant matter to the structure, incorporating a stool into the piece, and creating "Evolution," the digital photography composition that documents "Ecological Reawakening" and was included in the Scripps Senior Art Exhibition in the Ruth Chandler Williamson Gallery from May 1 – May 17, 2009.

This thesis draws on ethnographic research from three communities of conservative Christian women who find empowerment and agency through their religious traditions. Two communities are politically active, outspoken women who also believe strongly in "traditional" roles for women, and one community idealizes conservative standards of sexuality while accepting women who work as sex workers. These women did not view their positions as contradictory, rather, they used religious beliefs and religious practices to enact, embody or explain their complex genders and sexualities. This thesis draws on ethnographic, feminist and queer theories while showcasing the diversity within a movement largely believed to be monolithic. The researcher aims to encourage more dialogue between liberal feminists and conservative Christians.

Laws and policies have created a legal context aimed at allowing the adivasis to develop socioeconomically while retaining the aspects of their culture that they value the most. While the adivasis still face numerous challenges, it is evident that many have achieved successful economical advancement as a result of the legal framework established upon independence in 1947. Yet, it has also been acknowledged that economic advancement can undermine aspects of culture that are essential to the identity and dignity of the adivasis. Such a loss can result from exogenous factors such as government policy and the actions and beliefs of nontribals, or from endogenous factors such as the willingness of the adivasis to adopt the values of nontribals.

The purpose of my thesis was to counter Samuel Huntington’s argument that the world’s conflict is over differing civilizations, religions, or cultures. Whether or not religion is declining or growing, it cannot be used to portray the world in a 'cosmic war,' or a battle between 'good and evil'. Natural resources, not religions, rest at the basis for the Islamic fundamentalist and militant movement due to its response to the Western structural pressures that are modernizing Muslim societies. Oil and water become vital tools for exercising power and authority of one nation over another, and are identified as the true culprits for a conflict that is often furtively concealed.

The need to teach students how to be community activists becomes increasingly relevant as women's studies continues to evolve from its activist roots. Living in a culture that discourages activist work, many women's studies students feel passionately about activist issues, but with frustrating paralysis. For this reason, many of them pursue graduate degrees to equip themselves for an activist-oriented life, since they are not sure how to do this themselves. Without the presence of a concrete social movement, women's studies students need activist behavior and community modeled for them through the institution of the university. Teaching feminist activism to women's studies students will not only provide them with a context in which to discuss women's issues but should also provide tools for a feminist way of life-whether it be deconstructing institutions, feminist networking, policy making or grant writing.
