Abstract:

This paper presents a survey of georeferenced point clouds. Concentration is, on the one hand, put on features, which originate in the measurement process themselves, and features derived by processing the point cloud. On the other hand, approaches for the processing of georeferenced point clouds are reviewed. This includes the data structures, but also spatial processing concepts. We suggest a categorization of features into levels that reflect the amount of processing. Point clouds are found across many disciplines, which is reflected in the versatility of the literature suggesting specific features. (authors' abstract)

Abstract:

<p> Throughout the nation, grocery retailers are reentering underserved communities amidst growing public awareness of food deserts and the rise of federal, state, and local programs incentivizing urban grocery stores. And yet, even with expanding research on food deserts and their public health impacts, there is still a lack of consensus on whether grocery stores truly offer the best solution. Furthermore, scholars and policymakers alike have limited understandings of the broader neighborhood implications of grocery stores newly introduced into underserved urban communities.</p><p> This dissertation analyzes how local organizations and agencies pursue grocery development in order to understand the conditions for success implementation. To do this, I examine the historical drivers, planning processes, and outcomes of two extreme cases of urban grocery development: a Fresh and Easy Neighborhood Market (a chain value store) in San Francisco's Bayview Hunters Point and the Mandela Foods Cooperative (a worker-owned cooperative) in Oakland's West Oakland districts. </p><p> Through a comparative institutional analysis, I find that both Fresh and Easy and Mandela Foods reflect distinctive neighborhood revitalization legacies, critical moments of institutional capacity building, localized versions of national policy narratives, and the role of charismatic leaders in grocery store implementation. While national narratives shape the rhetoric of urban grocery development, ultimately local context dictates how food access issues are defined, who addresses them, and how. These findings suggest that federal grocery incentive programs should: 1) maintain a broad framework that enables local communities to define food access problems and their solutions on a case-by-case basis, 2) encourage diverse solutions not limited to grocery stores and supermarkets, and 3) emphasize community reinvestment goals.</p>

Oropallo, William Edward Jr. "A Point Cloud Approach to Object Slicing for 3D Printing." Thesis, University of South Florida, 2018. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=10751757.

Full text

Abstract:

<p> Various industries have embraced 3D printing for manufacturing on-demand, custom printed parts. However, 3D printing requires intelligent data processing and algorithms to go from CAD model to machine instructions. One of the most crucial steps in the process is the slicing of the object. Most 3D printers build parts by accumulating material layers by layer. 3D printing software needs to calculate these layers for manufacturing by slicing a model and calculating the intersections. Finding exact solutions of intersections on the original model is mathematically complicated and computationally demanding. A preprocessing stage of tessellation has become the standard practice for slicing models. Calculating intersections with tessellations of the original model is computationally simple but can introduce inaccuracies and errors that can ruin the final print. </p><p> This dissertation shows that a point cloud approach to preprocessing and slicing models is robust and accurate. The point cloud approach to object slicing avoids the complexities of directly slicing models while evading the error-prone tessellation stage. An algorithm developed for this dissertation generates point clouds and slices models within a tolerance. The algorithm uses the original NURBS model and converts the model into a point cloud, based on layer thickness and accuracy requirements. The algorithm then uses a gridding structure to calculate where intersections happen and fit B-spline curves to those intersections. </p><p> This algorithm finds accurate intersections and can ignore certain anomalies and error from the modeling process. The primary point evaluation is stable and computationally inexpensive. This algorithm provides an alternative to challenges of both the direct and tessellated slicing methods that have been the focus of the 3D printing industry.</p><p>

Abstract:

This creative project outlines the process used in developing an action oriented and citizen based neighborhood plan for the Bloomingdale Neighborhood, located in Fort Wayne, Indiana. As a member of the City of Fort Wayne Planning Department, I was the lead staff person in the development of this plan. The plan was designed to identify and resolve neighborhood issues with manageable goals and specific action steps. Though the planning department initiated the process and took a leadership role in the plan's development, the neighborhood association ultimately determined the plan's focus and direction. This allowed the association to take ownership of the process and ultimately the plan. The techniques and methods used in the process for developing the Bloomingdale Plan will be incorporated in future neighborhood planning efforts in Fort Wayne.<br>Department of Urban Planning

The inhabitants of the city steer clear of these neighborhoods. I believe many people perceive these places to be beyond repair. Yet, there are a few individuals who have seen potential in the forgotten neighborhood and were able to revive them. In most cases they did it with minimal investment coupled with a belief that it could be done. A true underdog story. The questions I aim to answer are: How were these neighborhoods turned around? What are the attributes and characteristics they all share? Essentially, what is the secret sauce to reviving a beat up neighborhood? I believe it is important to study those people that have successfully revived more than one neighborhood, because, if you have done it more than once then it is not a fluke and we should pay special attention. We focus on two men, Tony Goldman and Joe Englert. They are responsible for the successful rejuvenation of seven neighborhoods. My goal in writing this is to give others confidence that a neighborhood can be revived and give them a path to do so.<br>by Alberto R. Vadia.<br>S.M. in Real Estate Development

Abstract:

Studies of the political activity of both men and women have been plentiful within geographic research, however, a more thorough examination of the effect of gender differences on informal political activity has not yet been produced. This study focuses on the ways in which differences in women's and men's views about neighborhood structure the nature and style of their participation in neighborhood activism in Tucson, Arizona. Grounded theory and a feminist perspective were employed to explore differences in men's and women's motivations to and methods of neighborhood activism in an attempt to provide a greater understanding of gender differences and their effect on women's and men's perceptions of their neighborhoods and their approaches to neighborhood activism.

Abstract:

The purpose of this project has been to develop a neighborhood plan for the Longfellow Neighborhood in Iowa City, Iowa using the "bottoms up" approach. Once adopted and incorporated in the City's Comprehensive Plan, it will be the first neighborhood plan in Iowa City. My official role was to serve as one of the members of the City staff. This creative project is a documentation of the process involved in preparing the plan, and a reflection as to lessons learned from it both for Iowa City and for neighborhood planning generally. The preliminary plan draft was developed based upon goals, objectives, and an implementation strategy created and endorsed by the residents. A second draft was written in accordance with the residents' responses to the original content. Pending neighborhood approval and adoption of the draft, the final document will be developed and voted upon by the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council. The project, to date, has proven to be a successful endeavor that will serve as a precedent for other neighborhoods in Iowa City wishing to pursue the creation of their own neighborhood plans.<br>Department of Urban Planning

Abstract:

When neighborhoods and cities fall in decline, cities and investors see an opportunity to turn the declining sites into profitable new projects, this happens all over the world in different renewal projects, or under the term gentrification. The outcome of gentrification can be considered to be both positive and negative, and the term is widely discussed in today's media. This study aims to get an understanding of how a small neighborhood in Cape Town called Bo-Kaap, that is famous for its rich culture and strong community, is affected by investors wanting to develop the neighborhood. With a problematic history of apartheid and oppression the threat of gentrification creates a new threat for the residents of Bo-Kaap. During the last couple of years the property prices in the neighborhood have increased dramatically resulting in a large flow of new residents. This has caused many locals to fear for the safety of the neighborhood as well as the fear of losing its strong community and their identity as a muslim neighborhood.

Full text

Abstract:

<p> This case study focuses on the way a neighborhood association connects schools to broad change in an urban neighborhood of a large Midwestern city. The first section provides a review of the literature on community involvement in school and neighborhood reform. It reviews the historical origins of the current school-community relationship, the reasons behind the movement to increase community involvement, the diversity of understandings about the nature of community participation, the processes used to improve the capacity of both the school and the community to act as effective partners, and the different programs organizations use to participate in the school improvement process. The second section is a qualitative case study on the programs and processes the neighborhood association uses to revitalize one of the poorest neighborhoods in the city. Believing strongly in the need to think holistically about neighborhood improvement, the neighborhood association engages a diversity of stakeholders in creating a comprehensive plan to address social and physical conditions. The plan encompasses the areas of academic achievement, housing, healthy eating, commercial development, crime, health and wellness, jobs, and family and youth. Local schools are active participants in creating the holistic plan for broad revitalization. The neighborhood association considers schools an on-going partner in carrying out initiatives tied to academic achievement. Building a higher level school-community relationship challenges historical traditions of school resistance to meaningful involvement with community groups working to improve schools. The study focuses on the way the neighborhood association works to connect two public schools to the academic achievement piece of the comprehensive neighborhood revitalization plan. This study finds high levels of school participation in the process of plan creation, but patterns of school behavior and current demands on time continue to be obstacles to on-going participation in neighborhood association-led change. The study also finds that neighborhood association-led initiatives in areas outside the four walls of the school have improved surrounding conditions, but these improvements have not yet significantly impacted the performance of neighborhood public schools.</p>

Abstract:

Thesis (M.C.P.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Urban Studies and Planning, 2011.<br>Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.<br>Includes bibliographical references (p. 113-119).<br>Social marketing has long been used in the field of public health, but its application in the environmental world is only a decade old. Although McKenzie-Mohr and Smith's (1999) guide to "community-based social marketing" (CBSM) has gained increasing support, there have been few attempts to delineate when CBSM can (and should) be used. In this thesis, I explore the use of CBSM at the neighborhood scale: first, to encourage the uptake of rain barrels and rain gardens; and second, to advance long-term sustainability as defined in the sustainable communities literature. My research focuses on the potential opportunities and limitations of CBSM in three very different neighborhoods in the Greater Toronto Area. Interviews with homeowners in the three neighborhoods revealed surprisingly high levels of rain barrel interest and ownership among people who do not self-identify as "environmentalists". I suggest that different CBSM strategies may be useful for promoting rain barrels among individuals who self-identify in different ways. In contrast, rain gardens received limited support from non-environmentalists and appeared challenging to promote. I suggest that CBSM programs to encourage rain gardens will be more effective if clearly tied to local issues. I outline strategies for increasing the local relevance of CBSM and highlight the benefits of including diverse residents at all stages of program design. Finally, I argue that practitioners should assess opportunities for CBSM to contribute to long-term neighborhood sustainability. In all three neighborhoods, CBSM holds little potential to directly address residents' sustainability priorities, since these issues require neighborhood-level efforts. However, modified versions of CBSM may be able to indirectly contribute to long-term sustainability by fostering social capital, attachment to place and awareness of links between environmental, economic and social issues.<br>by Deborah Lightman.<br>M.C.P.

Abstract:

Thesis (M.C.P.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Urban Studies and Planning, 2008.<br>This electronic version was submitted by the student author. The certified thesis is available in the Institute Archives and Special Collections.<br>Page 145 blank.<br>Includes bibliographical references (p. 135-144).<br>In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, several neighborhoods in New Orleans created neighborhood markets. Given the fact that only one such market existed prior to the storm, this was surprising. This thesis hypothesizes that neighborhood markets are responding in part to the changing and uneven development of the food geography of New Orleans before the storm, and the lack of access to fresh food in many of the most deeply impacted communities after Katrina flooded the city. In order to understand why these neighborhood markets were established, this thesis places neighborhood markets in the larger context of the changing history of the food system in the US, as well as within the broader patterns of urban development and urban vulnerability, resilience, and risk. New Orleans' neighborhood markets are further contextualized by looking at the particular history of urban development in New Orleans and the unique food system that the city enjoyed -- particularly the robustness of the public market system in that city -- until much later into the twentieth century than any other US city. Interviews with market shoppers, vendors and market organizations for each of the eight extant neighborhood markets are used to explore claims about the roles of neighborhood markets in neighborhoods after the storm. Further interviews with city planners and recovery officials, as well as with non-profit and other community stakeholders, suggest three broad lessons from the experience of the neighborhood markets: one, that disaster has recapitulated and deepened the uneven geography of food access after the storm; two, that the continuing inability of markets to meet food access needs speaks to the fragile and tenuous nature of recovery; and three, that the city government has failed to effectively respond to the storm.<br>(cont) The thesis concludes with general recommendations about the importance of the food system and neighborhood resilience for planners and policymakers,as well specific proposals for the New Orleans food system.<br>by Jeffrey E.

Abstract:

Childhood is one of the most important stages for physical and cognitive growth during the life course. For young children, sleep is one of the major contributors to healthy development; poor sleep quality and short sleep duration can detrimentally affect developmental progress. In addition to physiological contributors to poor sleep, social factors may affect young children’s sleep. Prior findings suggest that demographic and socioeconomic characteristics, such as race and parent’s educational attainment, may contribute to sleep health for children. Furthermore, limited prior research suggests that neighborhood attributes may affect sleep for both children and adults alike. To my knowledge, no study exists that examines neighborhood effects and sleep for children under the age of six. Therefore, my investigation examines the effect of neighborhood disadvantage on the bedtimes of kindergarten-aged children, a proxy for sleep health. In order to examine the effects of neighborhood disadvantage on sleep, this study utilizes multilevel statistical methods to determine the influence of both individual- and neighborhood-level characteristics. The results from these analyses indicate that while individual-level demographic and socioeconomic characteristics contribute explain more variance in bedtimes than neighborhood-level attributes, neighborhoods significantly affect bedtimes—especially racial composition and overall levels of educational attainment. These findings suggest the need for further research on the effects of neighborhoods on sleep and ultimately health outcomes.

Full text

Abstract:

<p>Biologists are constantly looking for new knowledge about biological properties and processes. Bio-molecular interaction networks model dependencies among proteins and the processes they participate. By studying patterns of interaction in these networks, it may be possible to discover implicit information embedded in the network topology. In this thesis we improve existing and develop new methods for investigating similarities between proteins, and for discovering protein interaction sub-patterns. Cytoscape (Shannon et al., 2003) is a tool for visualization and analysis of interaction networks used by biologists. We have developed an extension to Cytoscape that lets biologists perform the following tasks: - Compare proteins based on neighborhood information - Find interaction sub pattern in an interaction network. - Discover sub patterns in one or several networks. Our main contributions are improvements to graph mining algorithms gSpan by Yan and Han (2002) and Apriori by Inokuchi et al. (2003) whose original task was the discovering of frequent sub-patterns in a very large set of networks. We have enabled mining a single network and enabled less exact matches. The graph mining algorithm runs on labeled graphs, and we have used various clustering techniques for this task. The clustering is done through similarity measures between proteins, which we have based on Gene Ontology annotations and experimental data obtained from a ChIP-chip experiment. Our plug-in may easily be extended by adding other cluster techniques or similarity measures. We verify the results of our implementations and test them for speed. We find that of the two mining algorithms gSpan shows the most promise for mining biological graphs.</p>

Abstract:

Thesis (M.Arch.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 2000.<br>Includes bibliographical references (p. 54-58).<br>The coupling of virtual interfaces and physical places is integral in realizing the full potential of information technologies upon the planning of communities. To date, the urban model of development most associated with digital networks is single-use, low-density sprawl, as exemplified in California's Silicon Valley. However, this thesis proposes that a more traditional urban form can better complement and parallel the efficiencies afforded by information technologies. Mixed-uses, higher densities, and walkable main streets for synchronous face-to-face interaction coupled with service alleys for asynchronous delivery systems can support the information-based, 24-hour lifestyles desired by networked communities. While the notion of overlaying network technologies onto neighborhoods is new, the best physical frameworks that can house these wired communities may indeed be based on traditional urban patterns. Traditional urbanism is especially appropriate to sustain the processes of a fully wired and integrated community. First, as information technologies collapse space and time requirements for activities, so does the denser, mixed-use neighborhood. Secondly, mixed-use block configurations more naturally accommodate today's increasingly blurred distinctions between living and working, another phenomena nurtured by the advent of information technologies. At the same time, by virtue of its finer-grained, more concentrated and livable fabric, mixed-use blocks can foster a more vibrant street life and greater opportunities for the social networking that is so critical to the entrepreneurial, mobile workers of to day's agglomerative dot-com economies. Third, the physical patterns of street fronts and service alley spaces provide a simple but effective framework in which to house coordinated, synchronous interactions and around-the-clock asynchronous activities, a distinction that becomes increasingly significant to users of on-line environments. Recognition of these benefits offered by traditional urbanism can be pointed to in the recent emergence of cyber-districts such as New York's Silicon Alley in New York and San Francisco's South of Market Area. The thesis first considers how services and spaces in the community may be mapped out across virtual and physical dimensions, correlating what gets clustered and what gets dispersed as online services are mapped onto a neighborhood masterplan. The distinction between asynchronous and synchronous modes of services is used to both develop the urban masterplan and to suggest specific ways that conventional architectural models might better adapt to the networked neighborhood plan. The value of these integrated services and spaces is demonstrated in the context of scenario mapping between three different households: an elderly couple in an assisted living complex, a working class family with home business needs, and young telecommuting professionals in more urban mixed use units. The thesis explores these issues in are-design of Massachusetts' Telecom City project. Telecom City is a regional redevelopment initiative co-ventured by the cities of Malden, Everett and Medford. The project planners' goal is to convert 200 acres of underutilized and blighted land along the Malden River into a state-of- the-art telecommunications research and development office park. In contrast, the thesis will propose a more locally integrated neighborhood network, more along the lines of the new urban cyber-districts, that will ultimately add unique value to and create greater synergies with its surrounding towns.<br>by Benjamin S.

Abstract:

Thesis: M.C.P., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Urban Studies and Planning, 2015.<br>Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.<br>Includes bibliographical references (pages 105-107).<br>Adaptive reuse and historic rehabilitation have been utilized as a development strategy since the creation of the Federal Historic Preservation Tax Credit in 1976. In many cases, the adaptive reuse of vacant properties has been utilized as a tool for neighborhood economic development and revitalization. This strategy has increased in popularity since the start of the 21st century, with many states creating additional historic tax incentive programs, and investment in rehabilitation projects using the Federal Historic Tax Credit reaching nearly $6 billion in 2014. This thesis examines three residential projects in Massachusetts developed during the 1980s, in order to investigate the long-term impacts of adaptive reuse on the surrounding neighborhood. The case studies include the Baker Chocolate Factory in Dorchester, Museum Square in Lawrence, and the Francis Cabot Lowell Mill in Waltham. Through an in depth analysis of these case studies using qualitative and quantitative research methods, this thesis connects aspects of the development process and external influences to positive or negative neighborhood development outcomes. Findings reveal that these case studies had varied impacts on their surrounding neighborhoods; while the Baker Chocolate Factory development was associated with increased property values and additional investment, the Museum Square project appeared to affect very little change in the adjacent community. From these findings, it appears that residential adaptive reuse is an effective tool for neighborhood social and economic development under the right political and economic conditions, and with strategic decision-making during the development process. Key factors that contributed to the success of the adaptive reuse projects focused on in this thesis include the following: effective use of financial incentives and subsidies, local political support, local resident involvement, CDC and nonprofit involvement, and the presence of broader plans for neighborhood revitalization. The thesis concludes by presenting recommendations for how the strategy of adaptive reuse can be improved to have a more significant, positive long-term impact on the surrounding community.<br>by Evan C.

Abstract:

This dissertation presents an integrated framework that was developed to examine trajectories of neighborhood change, mechanisms of suburban diversity, and the relationships between neighborhood change and employment accessibility. First, this dissertation extends the study of neighborhood change to a greater time and spatial span, systematically examining the trajectories of neighborhood change at the census tract level. The results show that neighborhood change is complicated and exhibits various trajectories. The dominant patterns do not always conform to classical models of neighborhood change, providing counterpoints to some long-established assumptions. This dissertation also provides evidence of the mechanisms through which metropolitan and suburban characteristics influence suburban diversity. Most importantly, it highlights a remarkable increase in suburban diversity with respect to neighborhood composition. Finally, this dissertation investigates the relationships between neighborhood change, spatial transformation, and employment accessibility in the North Carolina Piedmont region during the last three decades. Spatial patterns of the neighborhood distributions suggest that job accessibility varies by neighborhood typology. A detailed analysis of the trajectories of neighborhood change shows interesting patterns in both central city and suburban ecological succession and transformation. These geographical shifts of neighborhoods were shown to be associated with changes in job accessibility to a certain extent. In sum, by introducing an integrated framework including social, spatial, and employment factors, this dissertation develops a more balanced understanding of neighborhood change in the United States.<br>Ph.

Abstract:

Casual empiricism suggests that the arrival of a major technology company into an area has the ability to transform the local economy. I examine the economic impact on residential real estate rental prices by the opening of offices by four of the top technology companies—Apple, Facebook, Google, and Microsoft. Rents are about 2.8% lower in metropolitan areas with top technology company presence compared to metropolitan areas without top technology company presence. Taking this economic outcome into account may influence the public and policymakers’ willingness to give tax breaks and other incentives to attract major technology companies.

Abstract:

This study examines the role of local churches in neighborhood change, analyzing the relationship between Christian churches and changes in household median incomes from 1990 to 2010 in the census tract in which each church is located. Based on a nationally representative sample of churches from 2006 and 2012, the study uses hierarchical linear modeling and statistical matching techniques to analyze how key church characteristics such as social service involvement, social capital generation, residential patterns of attendees, and demographic composition are related to changes in neighborhoods. Two primary research questions were addressed: 1) How have patterns of church location changed with respect to neighborhood types, and 2) How do churches impact neighborhood change? Findings indicate an overrepresentation of churches in gentrifying neighborhoods. A "back to the city" movement is occurring as church locational preferences have shifted from up-and-coming higher income neighborhoods in the 1980s to lower-income neighborhoods in the 2000s, reinforcing the overrepresentation in gentrifying neighborhoods. Churches on average are 1.6 times more segregated than our neighborhoods, with 87% of churches being less diverse than the neighborhood in which they are located, a figure that has not changed substantially from 1998 to 2012. This study finds that churches impact their neighborhoods' socioeconomic trajectory, sometimes positively, other times negatively. Highlights include: 1) a higher percentage of whites in churches in non-white neighborhoods is associated with more neighborhood gentrification, 2) on average white churches in low-income neighborhoods are responsible for about 10% of the relative income growth required for gentrification, 3) church social services do not reverse neighborhood decline but instead slow down the effects of gentrification by helping low-income residents stay in place, and 4) more geographically dispersed white congregations are associated with less white influx into neighborhoods. While commuter-style churches may not be contributing to gentrification, neither are they helping declining neighborhoods to become healthy.

Abstract:

This study examines the LEED-ND pilot rating program created by the United States Green Building Council (USGBC), the Congress for New Urbanism, and the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) in 2007. The rating system is evaluated based on its application as a broad set of national standards meant to encourage green neighborhood development. The main case study is a master planned community in semi-rural Paso Robles, California. Among other things, the study discovers problems related to the application of the rating system in semi-rural and rural regions of the Western United States. Both the standards used by the rating system and the certification process itself were considered through a case study methodology.

Abstract:

The purposes of this thesis were: 1. to learn more about neighbourhood stability and 2. to examine the interrelationships between neighbourhood stability, residents' attitudes toward their neighbourhood and their attitudes toward environmental change. Earlier studies revealed that residents frequently resist environmental change in their neighbourhood, therefore, it was hypothesized that as neighbourhood stability increases, residents' attitudes toward environmental change would become less favourable. In contrast, it was hypothesized that residents' attitudes toward their neighbourhood would become more favourable as neighbourhood stability increases. Finally, it was hypothesized that as residents' attitudes toward their neighbourhood become more favourable, their attitudes toward environmental change would become less favourable. The literature and interviews with municipal planners helped clarify the meaning of neighbourhood stability, while the hypotheses were tested using data collected during the 1984 construction of the Advanced Light Rapid Transit(ALRT) system in east Vancouver. The data were collected from over 600 residents located near the Broadway, Nanaimo, 29th Avenue and Joyce ALRT stations. Indices of neighbourhood stability, favourable attitudes toward environmental change and favourable attitudes toward the neighbourhood were created and compared using analysis of variance. Pearson correlation coefficients were used to test the three hypotheses. The findings did not provide conclusive support for the hypotheses. However, the findings suggested that as neighbourhood stability increases, residents' attitudes toward environmental change become slightly less favourable, while their attitudes toward the neighbourhood tend to become more favourable. Furthermore, as residents' attitudes toward their neighbourhood become more favourable, their attitudes toward environmental change also become more favourable. Regardless of the stability of the neighbourhood, residents were neither favourable nor unfavourable toward change in their neighbourhood. The thesis concludes with a discussion of neighbourhood stability, the role of municipal planners and the responsibilities of the three levels of government in maintaining stable neighbourhoods.<br>Applied Science, Faculty of<br>Community and Regional Planning (SCARP), School of<br>Graduate

Abstract:

The study of white dwarfs (WDs) provides insight into understanding WD formation rates, evolution, and space density. Individually, nearby WDs are excellent candidates for astrometric planetary searches because the astrometric signature is greater than for an identical, more distant WD system. As a population, a complete volume-limited sample is necessary to provide unbiased statistics; however, their intrinsic faintness has allowed some to escape detection. The aim of this dissertation is to identify nearby WDs, accurately characterize them, and target a subset of potentially interesting WDs for follow-up analyses. The most unambiguous method of identifying new WDs is by their proper motions. After evaluating all previous southern hemisphere proper motion catalogs and selecting viable candidates, we embarked on our own southern hemisphere proper motion survey, the SuperCOSMOS-RECONS (SCR) survey. A number of interesting objects were discovered during the survey, including the 24th nearest star system -- an M dwarf with a brown dwarf companion. After a series of spectroscopic observations, a total of 56 new WD systems was identified (18 from the SCR survey and 38 from other proper motion surveys). CCD photometry was obtained for most of the 56 new systems in an effort to model the physical parameters and obtain distance estimates via spectral energy distribution fitting. An independent distance estimate was also obtained by deriving a color-MV relation for several colors based on WDs with known distances. Any object whose distance estimate was within 25 pc was targeted for a trigonometric parallax via our parallax program, CTIOPI. Currently, there are 62 WD systems on CTIOPI. A subset of 53 systems has enough data for at least a preliminary parallax (24 are definitive). Of those 53 systems, nine are previously known WDs within 10 pc that we are monitoring for perturbations from unseen companions, and an additional 29 have distances within 25 pc. Previously, there were 109 known WDs with parallaxes placing them within 25 pc; therefore, our effort has already increased the nearby sample by 27%. In addition, at least two objects show hints of perturbations from unseen companions and need follow-up analyses.

Abstract:

The world has been transformed through the internet into a "global village",and social media platforms have possibly transformed the world into a larger neighborhood covering many regions of the world. Social networks such as Facebook and Twitter came into people’s lives through the Internet, growing daily at a large rate, and it has been proven that they are very popular. This study examines links between different phenomena through social media platforms (e.g. Facebook, Twitter, blogs, etc.). It is discusses cohesiveness, desire to belong, sense of community, beliefs and opinions about different forms of these phenomena in popular virtual platforms in correlation with trust in social media, criticism of information that is spread by these virtual platforms, and if people are influenced in consumer decision making. A questionnaire has been distributed to a convenient sample of 159 international and Swedish students in Sweden in October-November 2012 in both English and Swedish versions. According to the peoples’ answers, tendencies were observed such as to not trust the platforms, and also the information received, beliefs such that social media are "controlled", negative critique, but also an expression for a need for ‘membership’.
