In order to improve the basketball theory and provide theoretical and intellectual support for the scientific, mental health, and sustainable development of basketball, we propose to take the development dynamic mechanism of juvenile basketball as the research object and make a systematic and in-depth study on the dynamic mechanism, the cultivation of Chinese and foreign juvenile basketball reserve talents, and the dynamic dilemma and influencing factors of juvenile campus basketball development by using the methods of literature, questionnaire, and expert interview. A method of cultivating the ring tone of juvenile basketball is proposed. This method is based on Chan algorithm. When the target is close to each base station, the first estimation also needs an initial value to solve the initial solution estimation matrix. The method is also based on multivariate Taylor algorithm, taking into account the measured distance between the targets to be measured, so it will get some useful information, which will improve the positioning accuracy. The experimental results show that the accuracy of the algorithm used in this paper is more than 85%. However, the accuracy of rebounding and passing recognition and prediction is low. The recognition accuracy and prediction accuracy of the test set are slightly lower than that of the effective set, which shows that the performance of the target detection system model in this paper can be further improved through more significant training examples. It is proved that the algorithm based on Taylor ring can meet the needs of teenagers in the basketball coordination and mental health.

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences 365, no. 1557 (November 12, 2010): 3579–90. http://dx.doi.org/10.1098/rstb.2010.0173.
Full textAbstract:
In this paper, we describe a technique to evaluate the evolutionary dynamics of the timing of spawning for iteroparous species. The life cycle of the species consists of three life stages, embryonic, juvenile and adult whereby the transitions of life stages (gametogenesis, birth and maturation) occur at species-specific sizes. The dynamics of the population is studied in a semi-chemostat environment where the inflowing food concentration is periodic (annual). A dynamic energy budget-based continuous-time model is used to describe the uptake of the food, storage in reserves and allocation of the energy to growth, maintenance, development (embryos, juveniles) and reproduction (adults). A discrete-event process is used for modelling reproduction. At a fixed spawning date of the year, the reproduction buffer is emptied and a new cohort is formed by eggs with a fixed size and energy content. The population consists of cohorts: for each year one consisting of individuals with the same age which die after their last reproduction event. The resulting mathematical model is a finite-dimensional set of ordinary differential equations with fixed 1-year periodic boundary conditions yielding a stroboscopic map. We will study the evolutionary development of the population using the adaptive dynamics approach. The trait is the timing of spawning. Pairwise and mutual invasibility plots are calculated using bifurcation analysis of the stroboscopic map. The evolutionary singular strategy value belonging to the evolutionary endpoint for the trait allows for an interpretation of the reproduction strategy of the population. In a case study, parameter values from the literature for the bivalve Macoma balthica are used.

Full textAbstract:
This article contextualizes the exploration of sibling homicide, or siblicide, a phenomenon that traditionally has received very little attention within the academic literature. Siblicide is examined in relation to other family homicides and other known homicides. Given the traditional frequency, duration, and intensity of youthful sibling relationships, juvenile homicides are disaggregated from adult homicides to reveal whether there are any differences. Although previous research has questioned the use of the Supplementary Homicide Reports for this type of analysis (Daly, Wilson, Salmon, Hiraiwa-Hasegawa, & Hasegawa 2001), the utility of the data set is demonstrated. The results of this exploration suggest that siblicide may be examined within the theoretical contexts of sociobiology and routine activities theory.

Full textAbstract:
This article sketches three cases of institutional child abuse in different historical contexts and places—St. Michael’s Residential School in Alert Bay (Canada), Parramatta Girls’ Home in Sydney (Australia), and the Closed Juvenile Detention Center in Torgau (German Democratic Republic). I propose Katharina Rutschky’s concept of “dark pedagogy” to analyze the striking similarities in the methods and justification of treatment of children, in the experiences that survivors describe, and in the nature of commemoration. This concept can help us see how the extremes of violence and the techniques of control in “care” facilities that were common across the profiled cases are immersed in similar norms governing the social roles of children and adults. My core argument is that institutional child abuse—because of its systemic nature, its embeddedness in the modernist project, and the resulting stigmas—has lead to similar challenges and practices in confronting and memorializing these histories.

In order to do that I will be, as best I can, setting aside questions about the poem as a product (its meaning, how its form and content fuse to effect that meaning) and about the intentions its producer (the poet or his persona) had when he went about producing that product; whether the meaning and the intention are recoverable or not, whether they are decidable or not, is a moot question, and to try to answer it here would obscure my project (and doubtless waste our time). ‘To interpret a text,’ says Barthes, ‘is not to give it a (more or less justified, more or less free) meaning, but on the contrary to appreciate what plural constitutes it.’ To have some access to the portion of that plural that concerns me, I have to be arbitrary (and fictive) with the question of the poet's meaning/intention and to set aside as well questions of his poem's aesthetic charms.

Full textAbstract:
While Charlotte Brontë has been hailed as a writer of the "New Gothic," hers is not an isolated revision of so-called "old" Gothic but one that sprang naturally from a variety of contemporary source material in the period. This article examines the Brontë juvenilia and its sources in order to show that this change was as much a continuum in the history of literature as a new departure. The article focuses on the periodical literature of the early nineteenth century, in particular the Annuals that were introduced to the English market in 1822 and that continued to print Gothic tales and fragments well into the 1850s. From the Annuals Brontë learned not only to imitate but to parody the Gothic form: her early writings show that the Gothic allowed her to indulge in the exotic, the licentious, and the mysterious while at the same time assuming that anti-Gothic stance that is so characteristic in her novels. Moreover, her use of the Gothic doppelgänger allowed her to probe the psychological contradictions of her heroes Percy and Zamorna. Here we see Brontë's first step toward examining those "terrors that lie deep in the human soul." The deliberately complicated narrative can also be read as Gothic: it is a maze distorter by rival narrators and constructed chiefly from literary and visual models with the intention to confuse and amuse not only her siblings but her imagined audience. The Gothic provided basic material in this "play": a set of conventions that could be used first as raw material, then as the chief ingredient of parody, and finally-though gradually-as a means to explore the riddles of our thought and feeling.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of our study is to extend the existing literature by assessing the predictors of burnout among juvenile justice staff. We assess the impact of individual, job/role-related, and organizational factors on burnout among juvenile probation and juvenile detention officers. Also, given recent research in the institutional and community corrections field, we evaluate which set of variables (e.g., individual, job/role related, and organizational) has a greater impact on burnout. Results indicate that the only individual-level variable affecting burnout is contact hours, and only for emotional exhaustion. Role overload is also significant only for emotional exhaustion, whereas work–family conflict is significant for both emotional exhaustion and depersonalization. Furthermore, input into decision making and lack of opportunities are both significant for depersonalization and personal accomplishment. Finally, job characteristics appear to have a greater impact than organizational variables on both emotional exhaustion and depersonalization, but organizational variables have a stronger influence on personal accomplishment.

Taliaferro, Cheryl. "Ninth-grade Students’ Negotiation Of Aesthetic, Efferent, And Critical Stances In Response To A Novel Set In Afghanistan." Thesis, University of North Texas, 2011. https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc103398/.
Full textAbstract:
This qualitative, action research study was guided by two primary research questions. First, how do students negotiate aesthetic, efferent, and critical stances when reading a novel set in Afghanistan? Second, how do aesthetic and efferent stances contribute to or hinder the adoption of a critical stance? A large body of research exists that examines student responses to literature, and much of that research is based on the transactional theory of reading. However, it remains unclear how critical literacy fits into this theory. This study describes how one group of high school students’ aesthetic and efferent responses to a novel set in Afghanistan supported their development of critical stances. Six students enrolled in a ninth-grade English course participated in this study. Data were collected for 13 weeks. Data included two individual interviews with each student, student writing assignments in the form of 6 assigned journal entries and 7 assigned essays, transcriptions of 12 class discussions, field notes, lesson plans, a teacher researcher journal, and research memos. Data were analyzed using the constant comparative method. Three major findings emerged from this study. First, class discussions provided a context for students to adopt stances that were not evident in their individual written responses to the novel, which were completed prior to the discussions. Second, the discussions provided scaffolding that helped several of the students adopt world-efferent and critical stances. Third, both the aesthetic and the efferent stances contributed to students’ adoption of critical stances.

Full textAbstract:
This study investigated the distribution of bibliographic records amongst online bibliographic databases. The topic of Fuzzy Set Theory over the period of 1965 to 1993 was chosen to provide the case study for this investigation. From the DIALOG database host, searches were conducted on 114 databases to determine the number of journal article records relating to the topic of Fuzzy Sets. Both the number of records in each database, as well as the overlap of coverage between the databases were calculated. Six counting techniques were developed to allocate records to databases based on different methods for handling records that were duplicated between databases. When duplicate records are included, the top database accounts for 19% of the records; when duplicates are removed, the top database was found to account for 37% of the records. The distribution of records in databases was found to conform to the Bradford-Zipf hyperbolic distribution. Various other analyses were undertaken including: the duplicate records themselves, the total size of the DIALOG database system over time and the density of Fuzzy Set records in databases over time. A secondary aim of this study was to perform an informetric study on the literature of Fuzzy Set Theory itself. Results obtained include an analysis of the growth of the Fuzzy Set literature, an analysis of the journals covering the topic of Fuzzy Sets, an analysis of the terminology used in describing topics related to Fuzzy Sets. Also, the Ulrich's database was used to provide a subject classification of the journals to analyse the diffusion of the topic of Fuzzy Sets into other disciplines. Apart from the discipline of mathematics, the top disciplines into which Fuzzy Sets have diffused were found to be applied physics, systems and computing. The third aim of the thesis was to refine and develop the methodology used to perform large scale informetric studies using data from a variety of online bibliographic databases. Commercially available software was used wherever possible, but where this was not possible or infeasible, custom written programs were developed to perform various steps in the methodology.

Full textAbstract:
This paper takes a cultural materialist approach in analyzing the hegemonic purpose of using Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird in American education. Ideas from critical race theory and Lee’s second novel, Go Set a Watchman, are used to reveal obfuscated aspects of Mockingbird’s narrative. These aspects have been repurposed to fit a Eurocentric palate, and have let the book achieve success under the guise of being a progressive and multiculturalist work. Mockingbird’s narration, marked by childlike innocence, has been used to obfuscate Eurocentric ignorance of racial and economic inequality. The text has also been used to divert blame from those in power onto those oppressed by a hegemonic system. Racism is in Mockingbird inaccurately described as an individual moral issue, rather than a system of discrimination which is deeply ingrained in every aspect of U.S. society. The liberal moderate ideology which informs Atticus character has historically been ignored due to his unquestionable, near-mythical position as a moral role model. The paper finds that Mockingbird has been used as part of a greater Eurocentric narrative which positions the Civil Rights Movement as a white movement of moral improvement.

Jackson, Janet Ruth. "A coat of ashes: A collection of poems, incorporating a metafictional narrative - and - Poetry, Daoism, physics and systems theory: a poetics: A set of critical essays." Thesis, Edith Cowan University, Research Online, Perth, Western Australia, 2018. https://ro.ecu.edu.au/theses/2125.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis comprises a book-length creative work accompanied by a set of essays. It explores how poetry might bring together spiritual and scientific discourses, focusing primarily on philosophical Daoism (Taoism) and contemporary physics. Systems theory (the science of complex and self-organising systems) is a secondary focus of the creative work and is used metaphorically in theorising the writing process.
The creative work, “A coat of ashes”, is chiefly concerned with the nature of being. It asks, “What is?”, “What am I?” and, most urgently, “What matters?”. To engage with these questions, it opens a space in which voices expressing scientific and spiritual worldviews may be heard on equal terms. “A coat of ashes” contributes a substantial number of poems to the small corpus of Daoist-influenced poetry in English and adds to the larger corpus of poetry engaging with the sciences. The poems are offset by a metafictional narrative, “The Dream”, which may be read as an allegory of the writing journey and the struggle to combine discourses.
The four essays articulate the poetics of “A coat of ashes” by addressing its context, themes, influences, methodology and compositional processes. They contribute to both literary criticism and writing theory. Like the creative work, they focus on dialogues between rationalist or scientific discourses and subjective or spiritual ones.
The first essay, “An introduction”, discusses the thesis itself: its rationale, background, components, limitations and implications. The second, “Singing the quantum”, reviews scholarship discussing the influence of physics on poetry, then examines figurative representations of physics concepts in selected poems by Rebecca Elson, Cilla McQueen and
Frederick Seidel. These poems illustrate how contemporary poetry can interpret scientific
concepts in terms of subjective human concerns.
The third essay, “Let the song be bare”, discusses existing Daoist poetry criticism before considering Daoist influences in the poetry of Ursula K. Le Guin, Randolph Stow and Judith Wright. These non-Indigenous poets with a strong awareness of the sciences have, by adopting Daoist-inflected senses of the sacred, been able to articulate the tension engendered by their problematic relationships with colonised landscapes. Moreover, the changing aesthetic of Wright’s later poetry reflects a struggle between Daoist quietism and European lyric commentary.
The final essay, “Animating the ash”, reflects on the process of writing poetry, using examples from “A coat of ashes” to construct a theoretical synthesis based on Daoism, systems theory and contemporary poetics. It proposes a novel way to characterise the nature and emergence of the hard-to-define quality that makes a poem a poem. This essay also discusses some of the Daoist and scientific motifs that occur in the creative work.
As a whole, this project highlights the potential of both the sciences and the more ancient ways of knowing — when seen in each other’s light — to help us apprehend the world’s material and metaphysical nature and live harmoniously within it.

AbstractWe develop a framework for model checking infinite-state systems by automatically augmenting them with auxiliary variables, enabling quantifier-free induction proofs for systems that would otherwise require quantified invariants. We combine this mechanism with a counterexample-guided abstraction refinement scheme for the theory of arrays. Our framework can thus, in many cases, reduce inductive reasoning with quantifiers and arrays to quantifier-free and array-free reasoning. We evaluate the approach on a wide set of benchmarks from the literature. The results show that our implementation often outperforms state-of-the-art tools, demonstrating its practical potential.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Ancient literature has indicated that two forms of diabetes could be discerned. One was associated with emaciation, dehydration, polyuria, and lassitude, and the other with stout build, gluttony, obesity, and sleepiness (Bliss 1982). At the beginning of the twentieth century, however, and even after the discovery of insulin in 1921, diabetes was more often than not regarded as a single syndrome. A distinction was later made between juvenile and maturity onset diabetes mellitus but it was not until 1940 that these two forms of diabetes were suggested to be genetically distinct (Rotter et al. 1990). It also became clear that diabetes mellitus is not only insulin dependent or non-insulin dependent. A large number of disorders or conditions are associated with glucose intolerance; their causes range from mono genie disorders to diabetes secondary to a pancreatic affliction or to a peripheral insulin resistance induced by drugs or tumours. A recent survey lists more than 60 distinct genetic disorders associated with glucose intolerance and, sometimes, clinical diabetes (Rotter et al. 1990). Glucose intolerance and diabetes are therefore symptoms rather than defining diagnostic criteria. In order to properly diagnose insulin-dependent diabetes a set of diagnostic criteria are necessary. Such criteria.

Full textAbstract:
Chapter 4 describes the venerable tradition of baseball fiction in the latter half of the Shōwa period and in the early Heisei period (1989-), an era in which baseball emerged as a true sport of the masses and in which Japan’s economic success paralleled the emergence of professional baseball as Japan’s national pastime. This chapter explores the emergence of several important trends in baseball literature including the appearance of the first examples of baseball mystery literature and the continuation of juvenile fiction about baseball. This latter literary category developed from the body of writing aimed at young readers that had been initiated by Akai tori (Red Bird) and other magazines that made an appearance in the Taishō period (1912-1926), and as baseball was resuscitated and gained popularity in the postwar period, it again emerged as a natural topic for juvenile fiction. While the juvenile baseball fiction of the Occupation Era was cathartic and was intended to help young readers grapple with the harsh realities of the postwar era, the baseball fiction of the 1980s and 1990s, often set in the immediate postwar era, tended to be more nostalgic, portraying baseball as a refuge and source of hope in a time of uncertainty.

<em>Abstract</em>.-The sea lamprey <em>Petromyzon marinus </em>is a widely distributed anadromous species spawning in coastal rivers and streams throughout the north Atlantic basin. In this paper, we review aspects of sea lamprey migration and ecology that relate to the transport of nutrients and materials to and from freshwater ecosystems and provide an example of a long-term study of a native wild population. Several aspects of lamprey life history (rapid growth in marine phase, many adults spawn in upper reaches of small oligotrophic rivers, all adults die after spawning) suggest that anadromous sea lampreys contribute marine-derived nutrients and materials (MDNM) to freshwater ecosystems. We used long-term (20 years) data on spawner abundance, along with literature-derived concentration values, to estimate the import of nutrients and materials to a spawning reach of the Fort River, a tributary of the Connecticut River in western Massachusetts, USA. Sea lamprey imported as much as 0.26 g of P per square meter of stream, as much as of 20% of the total annual P loading to a similar system where a full P budget has been developed. While the MDNM contribution of sea lamprey may be substantial, other aspects of their life history and habitat use may limit the overall magnitude and direction of lamprey influence on freshwater ecosystems. Spawning requirement for rocky substrate within a narrow size range may limit import at the watershed scale. In addition, marine survival rates of less than ~1% will result in a net export of nutrients and materials via out-migrating juveniles (transformers). While there is currently no information on survival rates in wild anadromous populations, the tight link between adult survival and prey/host fish populations observed in landlocked Great Lakes systems suggests that the ecological role of sea lamprey may be strongly related to the abundance of coastal marine fishes. Further research on adult survival, juvenile dispersal and distribution, and the paths of nutrient and material uptake in spawning streams are necessary to more fully evaluate the role of anadromous sea lamprey in the transport of MDNM.

This chapter considers applications of the linguistics of humor to literary texts. It considers in particular applications of the Semantic-Script Theory of Humor (SSTH) and the General theory of Verbal Humor (GTVH), under two approaches: the expansionist approach, which applies the SSTH as is to larger texts, and the revisionist approach, which introduces a set of other tools for the analysis of longer texts, among which is the distinction between punch lines and jab lines. Other approaches are also considered including narratological, stylistic, and register humor.

A shared interest in the practice of colonization as a form of predation and capture provides a surprising link between Edward Gibbon Wakefield’s writings about systematic colonization and Charlotte Brontë’s whimsical juvenile writings. Both present their ideas in fictional form, and their colonies as imaginative constructs. Wakefield’s theory, which was influential in shaping British colonial policy, involved transporting working-class families to Australia to establish a labour force within new settlements. To reinforce the difference between his scheme and that of chattel slavery, he emphasized the freedom of his workers. Yet his scheme entailed significant restraints of their personal liberties: their freedom of movement, association, and right to own property, as well as the requirement to marry and have children. Similar preoccupations are evident in an earlier episode in Wakefield’s biography, in which he kidnapped a young woman in order to marry her for her family’s wealth and prestige. Brontë, who was roughly the same age as Wakefield’s young victim, explores these themes explicitly in her own teenage accounts of a colony in Africa, Glass Town. Co-authored with her siblings, this intricate saga of conquest and settlement by a group of European explorers presents a juvenile commentary on contemporary colonial practices. It reveals the coercive violence within the colony, as well as the submerged erotic elements within it. It also shows the ways this same violence underpins fictional narratives, especially the marriage plots that Brontë develops in her mature works.

Abstract The chapter offers a broad literature review of works that are connected to the main question and arguments of the study. It begins by considering the political theory literature on fear of concentrated power and on institutional restraints within states, in particular the work of John Locke. It then offers a summary of comparative politics scholarship on the evolution of domestic power restraints, especially the ones discussing early national institutions and comparative authoritarianism. The discussion of the international relations literature begins with a summary of liberal approaches and emphasizes the lack of attention to the Lockean theme of institutional power restraints. It notes some important related works such as those of John Ikenberry and Daniel Deudney, showing how the present study differs from existing ones. The chapter concludes by extracting a set of five main arguments from the broad body of literature discussed earlier.

Full textAbstract:
Restorative justice serves to facilitate juvenile offenders in taking responsibility for their actions via dialogue with victim, victim's family, and community. In the PK12 setting, this model uses classroom circles to set academic goals, explore curriculum, develop core values, fairness communities, and peer juries to talk with students about causes and identify positive issues to repair the harm done. Kohlberg's theory informs the use and implementation of restorative justice with its six stages of moral development. This chapter will examine Kohlberg's theory coupled with restorative justice at the PK12 level. The application of these philosophies may lead to early development of positive decision making, value of self, good communication skills, and ethical problem solving. By establishing these psychological/sociological foundations in early childhood, children may be able to secure friendly relationships and orient more easily towards fixed rules.

Full textAbstract:
One of the key aspects in the development of a sustainable waste system is respect towards the principles of a circular economy. Despite its complexity, the essential and crucial role in the waste management process is that of an individual. Residents of Latvia face several challenges in the recycling process – lack of infrastructure, knowledge and individual motivation to sort the waste for the common good. European Union has set ambitious goals in regard to waste reduction. If the situation in Latvia does not rapidly improve, it will not achieve these goals.This paper proposes the game theory and a positive been conducted encouragement approach to help improve the situation. A literature review of established theories has and results in a proposal of an informal approach – fun theory. The final section offers a brief overview of four different research studies about waste recycling and individual motivation toward it. A range of theories and motivational aspects related to the problem have been considered and theoretical grounds laid for further and practical research, namely, a unified collection of information in a format of a household waste themed game that could be tested by employing a sample of a Latvian population.

We study agents expressing propositional goals over a set of binary issues to reach a collective decision. We adapt properties and rules from the literature on Social Choice Theory to our setting, providing an axiomatic characterisation of a majority rule for goal-based voting. We study the computational complexity of finding the outcome of our rules (i.e., winner determination), showing that it ranges from Nondeterministic Polynomial Time (NP) to Probabilistic Polynomial Time (PP).

Full textAbstract:
The development of advanced microchannel heat exchangers and microfluidic devices is dependent upon the understanding of the fundamental heat transfer processes that occur in these systems. Several researchers have reported significant deviation from the classical theory used in macroscale applications, while others have reported general agreement, especially in the laminar region. This fundamental question needs to be addressed in order to generate a set of design equations to predict the heat transfer performance of microchannel flow devices. A database is generated from the available literature to critically evaluate the reported experimental data. An in-depth comparison of previous experimental data is performed to identify the discrepancies in the reported literature. It is concluded that the classical theory is applicable to microchannel and minichannel flows. The literature reporting discrepancies do not account for developing flows, fin efficiency, erros in channel geometry measurements and experimental uncertainties. It is further concluded that if all these factors are accounted for, the available data have good general agreement with macroscale theories. A similar approach is presented for pressure drop in microchannels in an accompanying conference paper, Steinke and Kandlikar (2005).

Full textAbstract:
Abstract A two-dimensional infinite length porous slab is employed to simulate biomimetic porous scaffold. The pores of slab are saturated with a relatively low and high viscous fluids such as air and bone marrow. Ultrasonic waves based on the Biot-JKD formulation travel through the porous slab and create viscous exchanges between the skeletal frame and the fluid. The Biot-JKD formulation focuses on the parameters, biomarkers of the biomimetic porous scaffold, which are sensitive to the transmission and reflection signals. These parameters include porosity, tortuosity, viscous characteristic length, Young’s modulus, and Poisson’s ratio. An artificial neural network (ANN) based on a set of the biomarkers is rendered to model the transmitted and reflected waves from the porous slab. The validation of the proposed analytical approach and released artificial neural network is evaluated by the pertinent literature. The output of the artificial neural network, the transmitted-reflected waves, is inversely applied to the analytical expression to estimate the biomarkers associated with bone regeneration. The results show that for a medium filled with a relatively high viscous fluid the longitudinal waves are more prone to estimate mechanical properties of the medium such as Young’s modulus and Poisson’s ratio while the transverse waves, in addition to longitudinal waves, are essential to estimate the physical properties of the medium including porosity, tortuosity, and viscous characteristic length. Furthermore, it is also concluded that for the medium filled with a relatively low viscous fluid such as air the longitudinal waves alone is able to estimate the biomarkers, which reduce significantly the computational efforts.

Full textAbstract:
The School of Architecture at The University of Utah has engaged in curriculum reimagination for the last three years. At the heart of this faculty-wide effort is the mission to make architects civic entrepreneurs and socially responsible global citizens. In response, we have sought to broaden our disciplinary horizons. Our collective has envisioned an integrated curriculum in which research methods and critical theories from many disciplines such as literature, queer theory, ethnography, or indigenous studies become the primer for design. Students learn that research is a systematic inquiry directed towards the creation of knowledge, and that each method produces different ways of knowing. Our primary aim is to disrupt the notion that the acquisition and application of knowledge is somehow universal, as opposed to the result of a particular set of cultural constructs. The “integrated model” with research methods at its base allows us to move towards a larger project of decolonizing design pedagogy. By decolonizing we mean braiding together Western and other ways of knowing to transform the imagination and structure of design practice and the academy. The metaphor of braiding in this case maintains the identity of each mode of knowledge, while strengthening the whole by introducing different critical views of land and property, design and project delivery, plus client and community1. Placing diverse critical theories as well as both western and indigenous research methods as the foundation of the curriculum allows us to ask difficult questions about how architecture can contribute to the cultural survival, resilience, and healing of cultures devastated by European Enlightenment, the foundation of modern education, with its roots in racism, sexism, homophobia, ableism, and economic exploitation of the colonized world.

Full textAbstract:
Through development of the fundamental equations of Film Theory, condensation of steam in the presence of air in a horizontal counter-current shell and one-path tube condenser is modeled. The interaction between heat and mass transfer and hydrodynamics in the shell-side is taken into consideration. A comparison between the predictions of the model and a set of experimental data available in the archival literature indicates excellent accuracy of the new formulation. The accuracy of the method is further validated by generating profiles of the temperature and pressure drops of the gas flow through the baffles, at various air leakages. Additionally, the effects of air leakage and upstream cooling water temperature are investigated to determine how they influence the total condensation rate, shell-side gas temperature and pressure drops. The results show that the total condensation rate decreases 5% and 20.5% for an air leakage of 1% and 5%, respectively, compared to the situation of pure vapor. Also, increasing the inlet cooling water temperature from 46.5°C to 48.5°C leads to 16.2% reduction in the total condensation rate, i.e., 8.1% per °C. However, this ratio is higher at high temperatures. For example, as the cooling water temperature rises from 50°C to 51°C under identical process conditions, the total condensation rate decreases 11.7% (per °C).

In ASME 2019 International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition. American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2019. http://dx.doi.org/10.1115/imece2019-10140.
Full textAbstract:
Abstract The analysis of human gait represents a valuable tool for an early and timely identification of diseases and pathologies, as well as to follow up treatments and rehabilitation programs. However, although several research works in the literature have addressed the assessment of human gait as a diagnostic tool, few works have focused on the biomechanical parameters and metrics needed for such practice. This work presents the results of an investigation carried out to identify and analyze the biomechanical parameters used in the literature to assess the human walking, both pathological and normal. For this purpose, a literature review was conducted to detect and analyze the biomechanical parameters. A classification of these parameters based on the application area is proposed and comprises clinical, sport and exploration. These parameters are also classified according to the origin of the problem into musculoskeletal, neurological and circulatory. The biomechanical parameters identified are analyzed and discussed using set theory. The results indicate that the analysis of the spatiotemporal parameters of the gait allows a detailed and economic study of this mode of locomotion. The most used gait parameters are: step length, stride length, step width, gait speed, gait phases, cadence, swing time and stance time. On the other hand, the study of gait in the clinical area makes use of nearly all the gait parameters reported in the literature, i.e. spatial, temporal, angular, force and other specific parameters according to the type of pathology being analyzed.

Full textAbstract:
Gas turbines monitoring for fault detection and diagnosis is long desired to be embedded within control systems. Yet the general approach is to have alarms and shut downs when critical parameters exceed certain limits, and fault diagnosis is initiated on the behalf of experienced professionals and testing apparatus during scheduled maintenance time. Statistical methods for monitoring univariate and multivariate processes have been developed and publicized in the research literature. A gas turbine can be treated as a complex multivariate process with parameters depending both on control variables imposed by operator and on independent ambient parameters. The authors propose a set of companion charts that can be implemented on line and allows continuous monitoring both for fault amplitude — represented by a newly introduced soft sensor — and for process variability in the direction of interest. The control limits are introduced using multivariate statistical theory. The set of charts was applied at Wood Group LIT in a test cell, for monitoring process variability and for diagnosis and characterization of engine faults during tests. A second application is used for early detection of faults at the current serviced fleet of turbines.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Workspace, the set of all possible positions reached by the end effector, must be large for a continuum robot for safe steer-ability. Magnetically actuated soft robots have high workspace due to their millimetre-scale size and large flexibility, enabling them to navigate constrained environments. When subjected to an external magnetic field, they undergo large deflections by interacting with magnetic particles. This work develops closed-form (assuming 2D planar) and numerical solutions to rotation and deflection for uniformly magnetised elastica at an angle using Cosserat rod theory. They are derived in terms of the elliptic function and shooting method, respectively, and are in good agreement with the experimental results provided in the literature. Deflection and rotation plots are presented for various input conditions. The analytical solutions show pitchfork bifurcation when the external field is antiparallel to the magnetic direction with a peak normalised half workspace of 0.103. In contrast, perturbed pitchfork bifurcation is observed for the other angles; increasing the workspace to 0.416 is not yet studied in the existing literature.

Full textAbstract:
As observers to the intersectional fields of culture, education, and social change, Creative Generation witnessed the chosen organizational structure of “networks” come into vogue – particularly as smaller, community-based organizations have begun to participate in larger-scale, collaborative initiatives. In almost all examples, the individuals and organizations involved do their collaborative work through a “network,” using any number of connections and patterns. This qualitative inquiry sought to understand how applying Network Theory to organizational structures can cultivate the conditions to support young creatives. Through literature and conducting interviews with leaders of diverse networks in the arts and cultural education fields, this project provides an overview of Network Theory and examines examples of various models. This report proposes the following set of provocations for the field to interrogate the use of Network Theory in their projects’ implementation: strong connections between the network and its participants, shared power among network leadership and participants, clear expectations about funding, and specific role for young creatives in decision-making.

Towards a Climate-Smart Food System: A Theory of Change and Impact Metrics to Trigger Farming and Societal Change. Richard Ivey School of Business., October 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.5206/iveypub.78.2023.
Full textAbstract:
There is significant interest in sustainable food production practices in Canada and worldwide due to the challenges caused by the Russia-Ukraine war, land degradation, and climate change. Sustainable food production is a food system that provides affordable, nutritious food while preserving and restoring natural resources and generating robust ecosystem services such as carbon sequestration, water filtration, and retention. This report explores multiple routes to foster improved social, ecological, and economic impacts associated with alternative practices promoting sustainable food production. It identifies core problems that prevent agricultural systems and their food chains from implementing (more) sustainable practices. The report mobilizes a Theory of Change (TOC) to outline possible interventions and metrics to implement (community-based) interventions to promote shared principles of sustainable production and create communities of practice. The TOC was developed in consultation with a set of actors in the food chain (including farmers, financial institutions, municipal governments, food processors, NGOs and industry associations) during a nine-month research intervention in Canada (2023), complemented by a literature review. Thanks to this co-creation process, the proposed interventions and metrics to measure and track improvements at the farm and societal levels presented in this report are outcomes-based and bottom-up. This enables agricultural communities and actors in the food chain to pursue alternative routes to improve outcomes. The report also discusses incentives to pursue sustainable food production, either explicit (e.g. monetary payments, contractual clauses) or implicit (e.g. social norms, cultural values, network-based engagement of food chain actors). Lastly, it outlines a potential research design to test the suggested interventions, metrics, and incentives in a Randomized Control Trial (RCT).
