Abstract:

The dynamic interaction between the soil and the structure resting on it during earthquakes can alter the response characteristics both of the structure and the soil. Despite significant efforts over the past decades, the interaction effect is not yet fully understood and is sometimes misunderstood. In the context of performance based design, there remain a number of uncertainties to be addressed seriously. Current practice of seismic soil-structure response analysis has tended to focus on the effect of horizontal motion although actual ground motions are comprised of both horizontal a

Abstract:

This thesis describes a method to create local maps from an omni-directional vision system (ODVS) mounted on a mobile robot. Range finding is performed by a structure-from-motion method, which recovers the three-dimensional position of objects in the environment from omni-directional images. This leads to map-making, which is accomplished using certainty grids to fuse information from multiple readings into a two-dimensional world model. The system is demonstrated both on noise-free data from a custom-built simulator and on real data from an omni-directional vision system on-board a mobile rob

Abstract:

This thesis examines the properties of spatial (i.e., locational and directional) Ps within the minimalist framework (Chomsky 1995,1998,1999), which has put an ultimate emphasis on economy in terms of derivation and representation. The principal goals of this thesis are (i) to investigate how the syntax of such nature derives PPs in accordance with the properties of Ps and (ii) to show how the internal PP structure interacts with the external syntax of PP. Chomsky's minimalist framework assumes two syntactic operations, i.e.. Merge and Move, and two different types of outcome of the operations

Abstract:

Of the 20 standard amino acids, cysteines are the only amino acids that have a reactive sulphur atom, thus enabling two cysteines to form strong covalent bonds known as disulfide bonds. Even though almost all proteins have cysteines, not all of them have disulfide bonds. Disulfide bonds provide structural stability to proteins and hence are an important constraint in determining the structure of a protein. As a result, disulfide bonds are used to study various protein properties, one of them being protein folding. Protein structure prediction is the problem of predicting the three-dimensiona

A vibration isolator is designed to reduce the vibration and structure borne noise transmitted from a vibratory source, such as machinery and equipment, to the supporting structure. The vibration and structure borne noise transmitted depends upon the dynamic properties of the foundation, the source mounting point and the vibration isolator. Therefore knowledge of the frequency dependent dynamic properties of vibration isolators is a necessary part of the acoustic prediction and control/reduction process.

Comparisons are made with previous results obtained using other solution techniques.

A computer program has been developed to compute loading transfer functions and response amplitude operators and hence the loading and response spectra for both long- and short-crested random waves. Cosine powered directional spreading functions which are independent of frequency have been used to account for the shortcrestedness of waves.

Abstract:

In this work the structure and interface structure of ErSi₂₋ˣ nanostructures grown on Si(001) are investigated by aberration corrected high angle annular dark field scanning transmission electron microscopy. The initial nucleation and growth mechanism are investigated by direct observation of the structure of ultra-small nanowires and it was found that the preferred structure does not fit with the currently accepted growth model. The nanowires nucleate in the hexagonal phase with an orientation relationship with the silicon substrate of (001)_Si/(011̄0)_ErSi₂₋ˣ, [110]_Si/[0001]_ErSi₂₋ˣ which i

Abstract:

Thesis advisor: Celeste Wells<br>This study examined the influence of a popular Youtuber in creating social discourse surrounding concepts of health, fitness, and beauty, employing a case study approach of the popular Youtube channel, Blogilates. Both visual and rhetorical analyses were conducted on the titles and thumbnail images of the top 50 most viewed Blogilates videos, and 10 videos were studied in depth. The findings established the concept of a unique power relationship between Youtubers and their viewers, which also explains the marked dissonance between the discourse posited by the c

Abstract:

Mestrado em Economia e Gestão de Ciência, Tecnologia e Inovação<br>O output científico no que diz respeito às publicações está relativamente restrito a determinadas regiões. Países cientificamente desenvolvidos representam uma maioria significativa no que toca ao número de publicações, aquando comparados com países em desenvolvimento. Neste caso, indicadores bibliométricos são ferramentas úteis para efetuar comparações e identificar assimetrias. Revistas académicas são o método mais comum de publicação de artigos científicos e a sua importância para a disseminação de conhecimento é inquestioná

Abstract:

Le projet de thèse est divisé en deux parties. D’une part, la génération directionnelle et singulière de plasmons de surface (SPPs) par des ouvertures nanométriques a été réalisé et optimisé par le biais de microscopie de fuites radiatives (LRM). Nous démontrons expéri- mentalement qu’une structure plasmonique composée de nano-ouvertures en forme de T et Λ permet de contrôler le couplage unidirectionnel et radialdes SPPs grâce au spin de la lumière incidente. Pour confirmer nos résultats expérimentaux, nous développons un modèle analytique qui décrit les coupleurs plasmoniques constitués de na

Abstract:

La polémique entre le ministère de l'équipement et les présidents de conseils généraux, au sujet des conditions de partage des directions départementales de l'équipement dans le cadre de la décentralisation, amène à poser le problème sur le changement que vivront ces structures administratives fortement ancrées dans le milieu local. La réforme des directions départementales de l'équipement, contrairement aux évolutions passées qui ont été le fruit de stratégies de corps essentiellement, résultera d'une combinaison de facteurs dont certains imposent une dynamique et dont d'autres opposent une r
