In the current study, the Harquahala Basin was selected as an appropriate site for research into the component of recharge resulting from irrigation return flow to an aquifer system. Agriculture in this area commenced in the early 1950s, and intensive irrigation has resulted in perched water tables and zones of cascading water at various locations throughout the valley. In these areas, the quality of the perched water was significantly poorer than the regional aquifer system, leading to the hypothesis that these zones contained irrigation return flow. Sufficient pumpage information was available to permit the development of a numerical model of the basin utilizing MODFLOW. After calibration and validation utilizing data from 1954, 1966, and 1974, it appears that, in the Harquahala area, 20 percent of the applied irrigation water eventually returns to the water table as recharge.

The milestones, curbstones, and stone roadbeds that appear as discontinuous fragments in the Transjordanian landscape are identified as the remains of constructed Roman roads. The major Roman highway in Transjordan, built by the emperor Trajan in 111-114 CE and known today as the via Traiana nova ("Trajan's new road"), has many gaps in its material remains, particularly through the Madaba Plains. This lack of remains marking the route is an obstacle to research because the route of the via Traiana nova is thought to provide clues to the routes of pre-Roman highways. This research assumption, formulated as a hypothesis that constructed Roman roads followed the course of the natural, indigenous routes, conflicts with many of the Roman remains that appear as bridges, tunnels, and rock-cut steps that significantly changed the landscape. The via Traiana nova's route through Transjordan provides a unique opportunity to test the relationship between the routes of Roman and indigenous roads because its construction can be dated precisely, thereby providing evidence for dating the preceding, pre-Roman road. Modeling the via Traiana nova through Transjordan, using a new approach that includes GIS technology to synthesize the disparate archaeological and suggest that the via Traiana nova, when it was new, incorporated both indigenous Nabataean highways and new Roman sections that provided direct, paved roads through the Wadi al-Mujib and the Wadi al-Hasa. These new, Roman shortcuts eventually effected changes in the demographic and economic systems of Transjordan in Byzantine times.

3D building models are beneficial to architects, interior designers, and ordinary people in visualizing indoor space in three dimensions. 3D building models appear to be more aesthetic to ordinary people than architectural drawings. Architects can benefit from such models in detecting any inconsistencies in their designs. This thesis describes the design and implementation of an efficient 3D building model generator (3dGen) that can automatically create 3D building models from AutoCAD drawings. This thesis explains how 3dGen takes floor plan data in XML format (generated from AutoCAD drawings), extrudes the walls and vertical surfaces and adds additional 3D information to the existing floor plan. In doing so 3dGen aims to satisfy the complete watertight space and the manifold properties and attempts to minimize the amount of 3D data by eliminating redundant geometric primitives. This thesis explains the algorithms that were employed in order to generate correct surfaces with many types of portals in them and algorithms that detect inconsistencies in the 2D architectural drawings.

The purpose of this study was to identify the geologic signature of paleostorm events within the mid-continent region. This research aimed to create a better understanding of the long-term geologic history of major storms and to allow for better-informed projections regarding future return periods for such storms. The study locations were Cheyenne Bottoms Wildlife Refuge, Kansas and Canton Lake, Oklahoma. To determine the geologic signature of major storms, sediment cores were taken at both locations and sampled at high resolution (3 mm) intervals for grain size analysis using a Cilas laser particle size analyzer. Downcore chronology was determined through Pb-210, Cs-137 and C-14 dating methods. Using a recent known major storm occurrence at Canton Lake, the signature created by storms in the geologic record was identified. The resulting signature was then used to identify paleostorms in the longer-term record in the Cheyenne Bottoms core. The results were also used to determine storm/climate cycles in the long-term geologic record, and to calculate true return periods for major storms. A better understanding of true return periods and possible increases in frequency or intensity of large storms is essential in the effort to mitigate future damage to infrastructure and loss of human life

Phase equilibrium experiments have been performed on a synthetic analog of the Gusev plains basalt composition from the Spirit landing site on Mars, determined by the Alpha Particle X-ray Spectrometer on the Spirit Rover (Gellert et al., 2006; McSween et al., 2006). The near-liquidus phase relations were determined over the pressure range of 0.1 MPa to 1.5 GPa and at temperatures from 1105 °C to 1390 °C in a piston cylinder apparatus and l-atm gas mixing furnace. The composition is multiply saturated with olivine, orthopyroxene, and spinel on the liquidus at 1310 °C and 1.0 GPa, or 85 km depth on Mars, placing an upper limit constraint on the thickness of the Martian lithosphere at the time of eruption. Experiments carried out at 0.1 MPa show Fo77 olivine as the first liquidus silicate mineral, appearing near 1250 °C. Olivine and spinel co-crystallize until pigeonite and plagioclase (An73) join the crystallizing assemblage at 1125 °C. Low pressure crystallization of the Gusev composition does not produce liquids that could be parental magmas to surface types 1 and 2 of the Martian surface, nor do they appear to be related to olivine-phyric shergottites or other SNC meteorites. The iron-rich Gusev basalts appear to have been crystallized from a less depleted mantle source than the magnesian olivine-phyric shergottite Yamoto 980459.

Resumo: Indivíduos e espécies não são distribuídos aleatoriamente no espaço. Consequentemente, as metacomunidades formadas por tais organismos também apresentam uma organização espacial. Associado a isso, poucas espécies conseguem se distribuir na maioria dos ambientes possíveis. Portanto, as metacomunidades possuem uma variação em sua composição que pode ser espacialmente organizada, ou seja, existem locais que são mais similares em termos de composição de espécies do que outros. Robert Whittaker nomeou esse fenômeno como o componente beta da diversidade, ou simplesmente, diversidade beta. Entender quais processos geram e mantêm os padrões espaciais da diversidade beta é, portanto, uma questão central em ecologia de comunidades, além de auxiliar na proposição de formas apropriadas de manejo e conservação. O objetivo deste estudo foi descrever padrões de diversidade beta de anfíbios anuros das planícies costeiras do Sudeste do Brasil e investigar os possíveis processos que influenciam os padrões de diversidade detectados. A dissertação está dividida em dois capítulos. No primeiro capítulo, descrevo a diversidade beta de anuros da região de estudo e avalio como esses padrões estão protegidos atualmente, por unidades de conservação. No segundo capítulo, busco entender como múltiplos preditores poderiam estar relacionados com a variação na composição de espécies da região de estudo, dado o embasamento teórico e empírico da potencial influência de tais preditores sobre a diversidade de anuros. Os resultados do primeiro capítulo mostraram que existe um padrão claro de organização espacial na diversidade beta, estruturada em três áreas de forma congruente com a história geomorfológica da região. Os resultados evidenciam ainda, que a atual rede de unidades de conservação inclui padrões de diversidade beta semelhante às áreas não protegidas. No entanto, a representatividade dessas unidades em termos de área (~ 4000 km²) é pequena (11.3%). Os resultados do segundo capítulo demonstram a importância de diferentes preditores, incluindo clima, história geomorfológica e processos espaciais em diferentes escalas, para explicar a variação espacial da composição de espécies de anuros. Dentre esses preditores, as unidades geomorfológicas foram predominantemente importantes para explicar a diversidade beta. No entanto, outros processos que foram também importantes para a estruturação das comunidades, como o gradiente climático presente dentro das unidades geomorfológicas, possivelmente gerados pela estrutura geomorfológica da região e pela presença da Serra do Mar. Nossos resultados podem apresentar implicações práticas relacionadas à escolha de potenciais áreas para a conservação das planícies costeiras do Sudeste brasileiro. Tendo em vista a conservação dos padrões de diversidade beta e de seus processos subjacentes, associado à falta representatividade de em termos de tamanho de áreas protegidas na porção central do litoral paulista, sugerimos que tais áreas sejam priorizadas no planejamento e implementação de novas unidades de conservação
Abstract: Individuals and species are not randomly distributed in space. Hence, the communities composed by these species also show a spatial organization. Moreover, only few species can occur in many of the available environments. Therefore, the communities present a variation in their composition which can be spatially structured, that is, there are sites more similar each other in terms of species composition than other ones. Robert Whittaker named this phenomenon as the beta component of diversity or, simply, the beta diversity. The understanding of which processes generate and maintain beta diversity is a central question of the community ecology, also helping in the proposing and applying proper ways to its conservation and management. The aims of this study were to describe the anuran beta diversity patterns of coastal plains from southeastern Brazil and assess potential processes which influence such patterns. This study comprises two chapters. In the first one, I described aspects of the anuran beta diversity in the study region and evaluated how these patterns are protected in conservation units. In the second one, I seek to understand how multiple predictors could be related with the variation in species composition, given the theoretical and empirical framework on the influence of such predictors upon anuran diversity. The results of the first chapter showed a clear spatial pattern in the variation of species composition divided in three main areas that are congruent with the geomorphological history of the region. Still, we showed that the actual network of protected areas include similar beta diversity patterns to unprotected areas. However, the representativeness of these conservation units defined as the covered area (~ 4000 km²) is very small (11.3%). The results of the second chapter demonstrated the relative importance of distinct predictors, including climate, geomorphological history and spatial scales, to explain the spatial variation of the anuran species composition. The beta diversity is mainly associated with spatial structure of geomorphological units. However, other processes are also important in structuring anuran communities, such as climatic gradients possibly related to the geomorphological structure and the presence of Serra do Mar range and also broad scale processes. Our results have practical implications related to the choice of potential areas to coastal plains conservation in southeastern Brazil. In order to conserve the beta diversity patterns and their related processes, associated to unequal representativeness defined by the size area of protected areas, mainly on the central portions of São Paulo state coast, we suggested these areas as priorities in the planning and implementing of new conservation units

American emigrants frequently encountered Native North Americans during the overland trail migrations of the 1840s-1860s. This study examines the frequency and nature of those interactions in two geographic sections: the first half of the trail, from the Missouri River to the eastern slope of the South Pass of the Rocky Mountains, and the second half, from the western slope of South Pass to Oregon City, Oregon. While the predominant historiography of these migrations has focused on a binary of hostile or non-hostile interactions between Indians and emigrants, the focus on violence has obscured the larger issue of frequent and amicable interactions between emigrants and Indian peoples along the overland route. Factors such as trade, the availability of resources, and cultural differences influenced the nature of these inter-ethnic interactions, which varied from the beginning of the trail on the Plains to the end of the trail on the Columbia Plateau.

The thesis looks at Robert S. McNamaraʼs support for withdrawal from Vietnam between 1962 and 1964, during the John F. Kennedy administration and during the transition to the Lyndon B. Johnson presidency. It offers a reassessment of McNamaraʼs role as one of the primary architects of the Vietnam War. From a methodological point of view, it approaches McNamaraʼs recommendations on Vietnam from the bureaucratic perspective of the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD), explaining the evolution of the office and the balance of civil-military relations during his tenure. Through a bureaucratic lens, McNamaraʼs support for a policy aimed at disengagement from Vietnam is logical. First, the withdrawal plans – the Comprehensive Plan for South Vietnam (CPSVN) – supported a strategy informed by the counterinsurgency thinking of the Kennedy administration. McNamaraʼs changes at the OSD were designed to align defense tools to civilian strategy. As a result, as Kennedy and McNamaraʼs counterinsurgency advisers suggested, the CPSVN put the onus on self-help (i.e. the South Vietnamese doing the fighting themselves), clear-and-hold strategies and the strategic hamlet program that was buttressed by paramilitary, rather than traditional military, forces. Secondly, the CPSVN dovetailed with McNamaraʼs economic priorities for the OSD, both mitigating the departmentʼs impact on the nagging balance of payments deficit and, in the nearer term, the impact of South Vietnamese operations on the Military Assistance Program.

Informed by a sociological approach, this thesis provides an account of the theoretical and empirical context of pharmacy students' undergraduate careers, beginning with the decision to enter higher education and ending with the final undergraduate year of a pharmacy student's education. The main aim of the published work and of the academic field that it contributes to is to advance understanding of why young people choose to study pharmacy (and thus choose pharmacy as a career), and career aspirations and influences over the course of their pharmacy school career. By establishing what influences and shapes pharmacy students' choices this thesis also provides an account of the degree to which career preferences are limited initially by awareness of opportunities, by socialisation and habitus, and how these are related to undergraduate career success.The thesis reports findings from studies using a range of methods including focus groups, surveys, and secondary analysis of pharmacy student data from a number of sources. Subjects investigated by the work are British undergraduate MPharm students and graduates. Numbers applying to study pharmacy, numbers accepted, and numbers entering the MPharm are compared and the relative risk of attrition from the MPharm, are also examined. Findings reported here are relevant to undergraduate pharmacy education policy-makers, heads of pharmacy schools, pharmacist employers, the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) and to those responsible for pharmacy workforce planning.While the primary aim of the thesis is to improve understanding of (undergraduate) pharmacy careers through the application of a number of sociological theories and perspectives, the thesis also considers the ways that findings can usefully inform pharmacy education and policy agendas.

This study examines whether firms' decisions to offer company stock in defined contribution (DC) plans are explained by managers' corporate control motives. Using a large sample of proxy voting outcomes, I find that employee ownership in DC plans is significantly and positively associated with the level of voting support for management sponsored proposals. This suggests that managers encourage employee DC holdings in company stock in order to receive higher voting support in favor of management. The effects of employee ownership on voting outcomes are significantly greater in subsample tests than in full sample tests: management proposals opposed by Institutional Shareholder Services, management proposals of close votes, director election votes receiving more than 20% of votes withheld, and say-on-pay frequency proposals.

As a promising non-conventional machining method, high-pressure plain waterjet (PWJ) technology has gained consideration for peening, milling and cleaning of advanced engineering materials due to its specific advantages over competitor technologies (e.g. absence of thermal effects, cost-effectiveness, and environmental friendliness). The aerospace industry has a requirement to remove alpha case (formed during heat treatment) from titanium alloys. as alpha case is detrimental to the fatigue life of the components. The existing process for alpha case removal is chemical etching which is costly and environmentally unfriendly. Thus, this research seeks to evaluate the PWJ process as. an innovative method to remove alpha case from a titanium alloy- Ti - 6AI-4V. An additional benefit of removing alpha case using PWJ technology is that PWJ can introduce compressive residual stress in the remaining surface. As an essential step towards a comprehensive understanding of the PW J alpha case removal process and the surface after alpha case removal, the response of the substrate Ti-6A I- 4V under PWJ erosion has to be investigated. Hence, the scope of this research covers material damage mechanisms under PWJ erosion both in plain Ti-6AJ-4V and in Ti- 6AI-4V with an alpha case; the effect of major process parameters on the process performance measures, process modelling. and residual stress introduced by the proposed alpha case removal process are all investigated. The current study has provided a comprehensive view of the development of material damage on Ti-6AI-4V under PWJ impingement. Damage and material removal along alpha grain boundaries are found to be the dominant initial damage modes. A detailed experimental investigation is then presented which examines the role of a number of process parameters on the removal depth, material removal rate, and surface finish in the PWJ erosion of Ti-6AI-4V. The independent effects (as well as coupled effects) on all the identified process outcomes in both PWJ linear and area erosion have been demonstrated . A numerical model is established to predict the depth of PWJ machined tracks based upon impinged energy density. It is also shown that an increase in depth of material removed is associated with increasing surface roughness, irrespective of process parameter settings. The study of residual stress on PWJ-treated Abstract Ti-6AI-4V surfaces shows that the development of high levels of compressive stress on Ti-6AI-4V is associated with initial damage while the maximum compressive stress is reached when a proportion of the original surface has been removed. Based on the knowledge established through processing of Ti-6A1-4V, a detailed experimental investigation on alpha case removal was then carried out. It has been found that the process parameters affect the alpha case removal process in a similar way to that in PWJ erosion of Ti-6AI-4V. However. the material damage mechanisms of the alpha case contaminated Ti-6A I-4V are more complex, including brittle fracture as the initial damage mode, which then changes to ductile fracture after the most brittle surface layer has been completely removed. The results also reveal apparent proportional correlation between the removal depth and the resulting surface roughness. The compressive residual stress introduced into the material during PWJ impingement reaches the maximum when only a portion of the alpha case has been removed, implying that alpha case may be not need to be fully removed for a significant enhancement in the fatigue life to be realized. An artificial neural network (ANN) approach has been proposed to predict the performance measures in the PWJ alpha case removal process due to its complexity. The ANN model has verified statistically by assessing the model predictions with respect to the corresponding experimental data. The influence of the amount of model input data on the prediction performance has also been investigated. The results show that the proposed ANN approach can adequately predict the process performance measures in removal of small scale alpha case using PW 1. It is also shown that it is possible to reduce the number of required training data without compromising the prediction performance through using a Proper design of experiments. The knowledge established from this research can be app lied not only to PWJ alpha case removal, but also to other potential PWJ surface treatment applications, such as PWJ roughening of surfaces of medical implants or surfaces where further coating will be applied.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The aim of this thesis is to compare the aviation derived reliability metric known as the Maintenance Free Operating Period (MFOP), with the traditionally used, and commonly found, reliability metric Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF), which has over the years shown some innate disadvantages in the field of maintenance. It will be shown that this is mainly due to MTBF’s inherent acceptance of failure and the unscheduled maintenance therewith directly connected. Moreover, MFOP is successfully applied to a mining specific case study, as to date, no other application of the MFOP concept to the mining sector is known. An extensive literature study is presented, which covers concepts relevant to the overall study and which helps to contextualise the problem, revealing the major shortcomings of the commonly accepted MTBF metric. A methodology to analyse systems MFOP performance, making use of failure statistics to analyse both repairable and non-repairable systems, is presented. Validation makes use of a case study which applies the MFOP methodology to a system, specifically in the mining sector. It was shown that MFOP could be applied to the data obtained from the mining sector, producing estimates which were accurate representations of reality. These findings provide an exciting basis on which to begin to facilitate a paradigm shift in the mind set of maintenance personnel, setting reliability targets and dealing with unscheduled maintenance stops.

AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die doel van hierdie tesis is om die Onderhoudvrye Bedryf Tydperk (OBT), ’n betroubaarheidsmaatstaf afkomstig van die lugvaart industrie, te vergelyk met die Gemiddelde Tyd Tussen Falings (GTTF) maatstaf wat tradisioneel in algemene gebruik is, maar wat oor die jare inherente nadele met betrekking tot instandhouding geopenbaar het. Dit sal bewys word dat hierdie nadele hoofsaaklik ontstaan as gevolg van die GTTF se inherente aanvaarding van failure en die ongeskeduleerde instandhouding wat daarmee gepaard gaan. OBT word ook suksesvol aangewend in ’n mynwese-spesifieke gevallestudie, wat aaangegaan is aangesien geen ander sooortgelyke aanwending in die mynwese sektor tot datum bekend is nie. ’n Breedvoerige literatuurstudie word voorgelê wat relevante konsepte dek en die probleem binne konteks plaas, en daardeur die hoof tekortkominge van die algemeen aanvaarde GTTF metriek ontbloot. ’n Metodologie waardeur analise van die stelsel werkverrigting van die OBT uitgevoer kan word met gebruik van onderbrekings statistiek om herstelbaar sowel as onherstelbare stelsels te analiseer, word voorgestel. Geldigheid word getoets deur ’n gevallestudie wat die OBT metodologie aangewend word spesifiek vir ’n stelsel in die mynwese Dit is bewys dat OBT toegepas kan word op data afkomstig van die mynwese sector, en skattings lewer wat akkurate voorstellings is van die werklikheid. Hierdie bevindinge is opwindend, en dit dien as die basis vir ’n die aanwending van ’n paradigmaskuif in die benadering van instandhoudingspersoneel tot die daarstelling van teikens vir betroubaarheid en ook in hul hantering van ongeskeduleerde instandhoudingsophoud.

Natural Language Processing systems crucially depend on the availability of lexical and conceptual knowledge representations. They need to be able to disambiguate word senses and detect synonyms. In order to draw inferences, they require access to hierarchical relations between concepts (dog isAn animal) as well as non-hierarchical ones (gasoline fuels car). Knowledge resources such as lexical databases, semantic networks and ontologies explicitly encode such conceptual knowledge. However, traditionally, these have been manually created, which is expensive and time consuming for large re- sources, and cannot provide adequate coverage in specialised domains. In order to alleviate this acquisition bottleneck, statistical methods have been created to acquire lexical and conceptual knowledge automatically from text. In particular, unsupervised techniques have the advantage that they can be easily adapted to any domain, given some corpus on the topic. However, due to sparseness issues, they often require very large corpora to achieve high quality results. The spectrum of resources and statistical methods has a crucial gap in situations when manually cre- ated resources do not provide the necessary coverage and only limited corpora are available. This is the case for real-world domain applications such as an NLP system for processing technical information based on a limited amount of company documentation. We provide a large-scale demonstration that this gap can be filled through the use of automatically generated networks. The corpus is automatically transformed into a network representing the terms or concepts which occur in the text and their relations, based entirely on linguistic tools. The net- works structurally lie in between the unstructured corpus and the highly structured manually created resources. We show that they can be useful in situations for which neither existing approach is ap- plicable. In contrast to manually created resources, our networks can be generated quickly and on demand. Conversely, they make it possible to achieve higher quality representations from less text than corpus-based methods, relieving the requirement of very large scale corpora. We devise scaleable frameworks for building networks from plain text and Wikipedia with varying levels of expressiveness. This work creates concrete networks from the entire British National Corpus covering 1.2m terms and 21m relations and a Wikipedia network covering 2.7m concepts. We develop a network-based semantic space model and evaluate it on the task of measuring semantic relatedness. In addition, noun compound paraphrasing is tackled to demonstrate the quality of the indirect paths in the network for concept relation description. On both evaluations we achieve results competitive to the state of the art. In particular, our network-based methods outperform corpus-based methods, demonstrating the gain created by leveraging the network structure.

Mandatory stock ownership plans require executives to hold a minimum level of stock. I exploit these changes in managerial stock ownership to examine the relation between managerial ownership and manager-shareholder incentive alignment. In contrast to prior work that suggests equity incentives induce opportunistic managerial behavior, I find earnings management declines following the adoption of mandatory stock ownership plans relative to a propensity-matched control sample. I also posit and find a reduction in bid-ask spreads following plan adoptions, consistent with manager-shareholder incentive alignment improving market liquidity and decreasing information asymmetry. These findings are consistent with boards of directors contracting with managers to reduce the agency costs of equity.

The Snake River Plain is located in the southern part of the state of Idaho. The eastern plain, on which this study focuses, is a trail of volcanics from the Yellowstone hotspot. Three exploratory geothermal wells were drilled on the Snake River Plain. This project analyzes basaltic core from the first well at Kimama, north of Burley, Idaho. The objectives of this project are to establish zones of geothermal alteration and analyze the potential for geothermal power production using sub-aquifer resources on the axial volcanic zone of the Snake River Plain. Thirty samples from 1,912 m of core were sampled and analyzed for clay content and composition using X-ray diffraction. Observations from core samples and geophysical logs are also used to establish alteration zones. Mineralogical data, geophysical log data and physical characteristics of the core suggest that the base of the Snake River Plain aquifer at the axial zone is located 960m below the surface, much deeper than previously suspected. Swelling smectite clay clogs pore spaces and reduces porosity and permeability to create a natural base to the aquifer. Increased temperatures favor the formation of smectite clay and other secondary minerals to the bottom of the hole. Below 960 m the core shows signs of alteration including color change, formation of clay, and filling of other secondary minerals in vesicles and fractured zones of the core. The smectite clay observed is Fe-rich clay that is authigenic in some places. Geothermal power generation may be feasible using a low temperature hot water geothermal system if thermal fluids can be attained near the bottom of the Kimama well. (113 pages)

Some Location Based Services (LBS) can automatically find geographic locations that are relevant to the everyday smartphone user. A relevant location, or place, is a location that is of some significance to a user, e.g. home, workplace, airports or stores. Knowledge of these places can be used to enhance a smartphone application. However, most approaches to finding places are coarse, and simply define a place with a circle or polygon representing a geographical area. Instead this paper explored the feasibility of defining a place by using the natural boundaries found in the information of a map. The developed algorithm calculated the center of a cluster of location points by adding biased weights to each point. A close proximity of the center point was then searched for certain types of map elements such as buildings or parks. Because of time restrictions, map images were used instead of the underlying data. The developed algorithm found the correct place in 78% of the 45 test cases. In 15% of the cases it could not find anything, mainly because the map did not contain sufficiently detailed information about buildings outside of cities. The remaining 7% were incorrect results, some of which might have been remedied by more detailed map information. Overall the suggested approach was viable when a user had been in a building, park, or other clearly defined place, and when there was sufficiently detailed map information. To further this research an algorithm that processes geographical data directly instead of using map images could be tested. It would avoid some of the problems created by having an image as a middle layer between data and algorithm.
Vissa tjänster baserade på användarens geografiska position kan automatiskt hitta områden som är relevanta för en smartphoneanvändare. En relevant plats är ett område som har någon betydelse för en användare, till exempel ett hem, en arbetsplats, flygplats eller butik. Information om dessa platser kan användas för att berika en smartphoneapplikation. De flesta ansatser till att hitta relevanta platser är mindre detaljerade, och definierar en plats med en cirkel eller polygon som beskriver ett geografiskt område. Den här uppsatsen utforskar istället om det är möjligt att definiera en plats genom att använda naturliga gränser som finns i informationen på en karta. Den utvecklade algoritmen beräknade mittpunkten av ett cluster av GPS-punkter genom att partiskt ge varje punkt en vikt. Den sökte sedan igenom ett område runt mittpunkten efter en viss typ av kartelement, till exempel byggnader eller parker. På grund av tidbegränsningar användes kartbilder istället för underliggande geografisk data. Den utvecklade algoritmen hittade rätt plats i 78% av de 45 testfallen. I 15% av fallen hittade den ingen plats, främst på grund av att kartan saknade information om byggnader utanför städer. De resterande 7% var inkorrekta resultat, varav vissa skulle kunna räddats om kartan innehöll information om byggnaderna i området. Generellt var den föreslagna strategin användbar främst när en användare hade varit i en byggnad, park eller annan tydligt avgränsad plats, och när kartan innehöll tillräckligt detaljerad information. För att fortsätta denna undersökning kan en algoritm som använder den underliggande geografiska datan istället för en kartbild utvecklas. Det skulle undvika vissa av problemen som skapas av att ha en bild som mellanlager mellan data och algoritm.

In Great Plains archaeology, differences in projectile point morphologies are used to define typological groups, which are subsequently inferred to reflect unique cultural groups. The goal of this project was to investigate the variability between projectile points dating to the Late Middle Prehistoric period (2,500 – 1,300 BP) since some researchers associate these cultural remains with one group (Besant phase) while others separate them into Outlook, Besant, and Sonota phases/complexes. Metric and non-metric attributes of projectile points from six single component sites, Fincastle, One-Eleven, Happy Valley, Muhlbach, Fitzgerald, and Ruby, were statistically examined. The results showed that basal attributes remain relatively constant, while blade aspects vary greatly. Since the base of a point is considered more typologically indicative than the blade, which is connected to functional aspects, it was concluded that, based on the projectile points, these represent one typological group.

Maine is at a crossroads in its energy future. With 80 percent of homes in the state heated by oil, the highest percentage in the country, Mainers find themselves addicted to imported energy and without a renewable powered heating alternative for the long, harsh winters. Enter offshore wind into the equation. A relatively unknown technology in the United States, offshore wind farms are currently powering one million homes in Europe. Furthermore, the Gulf of Maine has world class wind resources that could potentially provide double the power production of the state’s current peak electricity demand. Through eight weeks of research conducted in Portland, Maine, which consisted of a literature review and stakeholder interviews, I have identified and focused on the key opportunities and obstacles to successful offshore wind energy development in Maine in the short and long term.

This research aims to show to the modern business administrator which items to consider when planning and designing a private pension plan. This sort of fringe benefit has had its relevance increased due to an everyday more competitive work market searching for and seeking to retain human talent. The persons with these talents have the conscience that the State Pens ion Plan (INSS) can not be their only financial source during retirement. The study shows and compares a set of different types of pension plans available today in Brazil and their more important characteristics. New trends in pension plan designing are also indicated to adapt to a globalized work market. Interviews were made with Brazilian professionals as part of the research to prove, in practice, theory about pension plans. Subsequently, results of exploratory research, made with employees that don't ha ve this kind of benefit, are shown. The goal is to point out the most important attributes of a private pension plan, from their point of view.

Анотація:

The growth rings of eastern redcedar (Juniperus virginiana L.) often contain a high frequency of false intra-annual growth bands, which complicates the dendrochronology of this species. However, exactly dated false rings replicated among many trees can reflect major weather changes during the growing season. Sixty-one trees from two sites (Oklahoma and Kansas) were dated and used to compile replicated chronologies of false rings at both locations extending from AD 1700–2000. False-ring events during the modern instrumental era were compared with the daily weather data from nearby stations. Significant false-ring events occurred at both locations during years that experienced a dramatic late-growing season weather reversal, when an extended period of high temperatures and drought was followed by prolonged cool and wet conditions. Synoptic weather maps for these events indicate that all ten replicated false-ring events in the instrumental era occurred during the highly unseasonable penetration of a cold front into the region. However, none of the significant false-ring events occurred in the same year at both sites. These separate false-ring chronologies indicate that there may be phenological differences in the timing of radial growth in redcedar between Kansas and Oklahoma, and that the weather conditions responsible for false-ring formation often occur at the mesoscale and do not often impact central Kansas and northcentral Oklahoma simultaneously.

Although youth tourism is an increasingly relevant subject little research have been done regarding the segment’s own perception of their impacts. A consumer perspective was assumed to examine in what ways youth tourism impact places. This study adopts a deductive approach reviewing existing literature regarding youth tourism, impact and place. A case study concerning how youth travellers perceive and evaluate their own impacts was conducted using mixed-methods. Data sources include a survey and in-depth interviews concerning sociocultural, economic, and environmental items. The study concludes that what impacts youth tourism has on places are subject to the place’s current state and ability to host youth travellers. The number of youth travellers and their behaviour determines the local and global sociocultural, economic and environmental impacts that youth tourism has on places. This paper is considered a pre-study that contributes to the development of theory regarding youth tourism.

This dissertation investigates the role of Architecture in promoting participation, interaction and awareness of the public in sporting activities, specifically with regard to the underprivileged community of Hammanskraal. The problems with the existing sports facilities are the following: * the location of the facilities; and * the fact that even though they are public facilities, they do not necessarily act as public spaces. They are fenced off and cover a vast area of land without providing proper shade for the players and spectators. The proposed intervention addresses these problems through the introduction of sports facilities into the public realm. This is achieved through locating of these facilities next to a new railway station and pedestrian and vehicle route that crosses over the railway line (Fig 3). The proposal intends to create a threshold space for members of the community in which to interact through sport, trade, social and cultural activities. The programme will provide sports training fields, a multi -functional hall, a gymnasium, a station and retail facilities. The architectural response is informed by the following : * the amalgamation of sports facilities with the public space; * programmatic requirements; and * responses to contextual conditions.

Анотація:

In this dissertation I show that the representations in Optimality Theory must be extended to allow multiple planes. The variable-position affixes in Afar occur as either prefixes or suffixes depending on the initial segment of the verb root. If the root begins with (i), (e(e)), (o(o)) or (u), the affix is a prefix (e.g., t-okm-e# (2-eat-perf) 'You (sg.) ate'); if it begins with (a) or a consonant, the affix is a suffix (e.g., rab-t-e# (die-2-perf) 'You died'). Additionally, plural not only appears as a prefix or a suffix, but when a suffix it can either precede or follow aspect (rab-n-e# (die-pl-perf) 'I died' vs. rab-e-n# (die-perf-pl) 'They died'). A parallel model in Optimality Theory is unable to account for the different order of affixes in forms such as rab-n-e# vs. rab-e-n#. The Multiplanar Model, which posits that output representations consist not only of a word plane but also an affix plane is able to account for this data. The representations for the two forms are: (y-e-n), (rab-e-n) and (n-e), (rab-n-e). In the first case, plural is specified as the rightmost morpheme by morphological constraints. Even though /y/, the third person marker, cannot surface on the word plane, it satisfies scONSET on the affix plane. This contrasts with the second case, where scONSET, being higher ranked than scPLURAL (scR), requires that plural occurs to the left of aspect to fill the onset position on the affix plane. I then show a serial monoplanar model can also account for this data. Finally, I compare the serial and multiplanar models, arguing that phonological evidence supports the Multiplanar Model.

A study of the biology of Tropisternus lateralis, a hydrophilid beetle, was conducted during the flood period of a single playa on the Southern High Plains of Texas from early June 1995 through early September 1995. Mechanism of colonization, tolerance/avoidance to drought, larval density, and secondary production were analyzed. T. lateralis colonized playas from surrounding aquatic habitats and avoided drought through aerial dispersion. Once in the playa, larval density increased over time. Secondary production was 1.31 g/m2/.25 yr. In addition, aquatic Coleoptera diversity was studied in seven playas on the Southern High Plains of Texas. A total of twenty three species were identified from the study region. Nine species not reported in playa literature were identified.
