Abstract:
Over the last decade it has become increasingly popular to provide large public areas with gracefully designed 'flexible' staircases. One inherent characteristic of this type of construction is a low stiffness to mass ratio and hence a low natural frequency when compared to more traditional designs. A number of staircases have been found to be dynamically responsive to pedestrian traffic resulting in costly repairs. The objective of this thesis was to investigate the differences between human induced loading on floors with that on stairs. Experimental work carried out on a purpose built staircase showed that forces up to 3 times the static body weight were generated during fast descents while forces up to 2.5 times the static body weight were generated during fast ascents. The work also showed that first harmonic values generated while ascending were slightly higher than for descending whilst second harmonic values were up to 3 times greater for fast descents than for fast ascents. When compared with floor testing, stair testing produced first harmonic values nearly 2.5 times greater with second, third and fourth harmonic values nearly 3 times greater. The harmonic results for the flat testing were also incorporated into a new mathematical expression to predict peak accelerations on simply supported floors and footbridges. The experimental results were duplicated analytically by developing a computer program to calculate the vertical ground reaction forces from body segment positional data. Following a Newtonian approach, the predicted first harmonic values were 20% to 30% lower than actual while the second harmonic values were approximately the same. Monte Carlo simulation techniques were also used to model the effects of group loading on stairs. The simulations predicted enhancement factors (a multiplier on single subject loading) of 3 to 6 for smaller groups(< 9 people) and 4 for larger groups(> 25 people). If the experimental/analytical results are combined with the group loading predictions, the harmonic values for groups ascending or descending flexible staircase could be substantially increased. These results demonstrate that loading data from floors is highly inappropriate for staircase design.

We use the Birman-Ko-Lee presentation of the braid group to show that all closures of strongly quasipositive braids whose normal form contains a positive power of the dual Garside element δ are fibered. We classify links which admit such a braid representative in geometric terms as boundaries of plumbings of positive Hopf bands to a disk. Rudolph constructed fibered strongly quasipositive links as closures of positive words on certain generating sets of Bₙ and we prove that Rudolph’s condition is equivalent to ours. We compute the sutured Khovanov homology groups of positive braid closures in homological degrees i = 0,1 as sl₂(ℂ)-modules. Given a condition on the sutured Khovanov homology of strongly quasipositive braids, we show that the sutured Khovanov homology of the closure of strongly quasipositive braids whose normal form contains a positive power of the dual Garside element agrees with that of positive braid closures in homological degrees i ≤ 1 and show this holds for the class of such braids on three strands

Abstract:
Vibrations in staircases have during the last decades become an important issue in design. The main reasons are current architectural trends aiming for innovative, slender and high staircases, together with developments in material properties and building technique, making these aims possible. The improved material properties and slender design of the staircase makes the structure lightweight and have great impact on the flexibility and dynamic performance of the staircase. This have resulted in that vibration serviceability criteria increasingly often are becoming governing in design. The performance of staircases in serviceability under dynamic loads is however very hard to predict. In many cases hand calculations will not be sufficient, and a computerized model, e.g. a finite element model, need to be created. Creating a finite element model that performs well when subjected to dynamic loads is however not simple. Especially boundary conditions, connections and the effect of non-structural elements are hard to adequately represent. The formulation of the load is also a complex question. The main dynamic load that staircases are subjected to, that causes uncomfort for the user, is the load that the user themselves apply on the structure, when ascending or descending.  The main part of this master thesis project is a case study of two lightweight, steel staircases. To form a basis for the case study, current research have been summarized in a literature survey. An introduction of elementary dynamics is also made for less conversant reader. The literature survey reviews previous research about loads introduced by humans and how these can be formulated, both for single human excitation and group loading. How vibrations arise and how humans percept vibrations is also reviewed. The view and recommendations of standards and regulations about load formulation and vibration acceleration limits is presented. Recommendations in research for finite element modeling of staircases and dynamic loads is also reviewed. The case study consists of measurements and analyzing of finite element models of the staircases. Measurements of vibrations and the dynamic response of the staircases under human introduced loads have been conducted. The human introduced loads included are an impulse load created by a jump, ascent at a moderate pace of a single subject and descent at a moderate pace by a single subject. The measurements have been recreated in finite element models. Different modeling choices and formulations for ascending, descending, and impulse loads are studied.  The aim is to investigate how different modeling choices in connections, boundary conditions and adjacent structure, affects the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the staircase. Different load formulations for the loads are analyzed, both for the impulse load and for the loads created by a subject ascending and descending. With these results as a basis, some general recommendations about construction a finite element mode of a staircase and achieving appropriate load formulation for dynamic loads are made.
Vibrationer i trappor har under de senaste årtiondena blivit en viktig fråga vid projekteringen av trappor. De främsta anledningar är dagens arkitektoniska trender som eftersträvar innovativa, slanka och långa trappor, tillsammans med utveckling i material egenskaper och förbättrade byggmetoder som möjliggör dessa trender. De förbättrade materialegenskaperna samt den slanka designen av trappan gör konstruktionen lätt och har stor påverkan på styvheten samt det dynamiska gensvaret hos trappan. Detta har resulterat i att vibrationer i bruksgränstillståndet allt oftare är dimensionerande i designen av trappan.    Responsen under dynamiska laster i bruksgränstillståndet hos trappan är dock väldigt svårt att förutbestämma. I de flest fall är handberäkningar inte tillräckliga för att förutsäga detta beteende och en dator modell, t.ex. en finita element modell, behöver utvecklas. Att utveckla en finita element modell som genererar tillförlitliga respons är dock inte enkelt. Speciellt randvillkoren, kopplingar och effekten av icke bärande element är svårt att modellera tillförlitligt. Hur man formulerar lasten kan också vara en svår fråga. Den främst dynamiska lasten som trappor utsätts för som skapar obekväma vibrationer för användaren, är också skapade av användaren själv eller andra användare som går upp eller ner i trappan.  Huvuddelen av detta arbete består av en fallstudie av två lätta ståltrappor. För att få en bas för fallstudien har rådande forskning gåtts igenom och summerats i en litteraturstudie. En introduktion av grundläggande dynamik har även gjorts för den mindre insatta läsaren.  Litteraturstudien har gått igenom forsning om dynamiska laster orsakade av människor och hur dessa kan beskrivas, både för laster orsakade av en människa, samt även för en grupp av människor. Hur vibrationer uppkommer och hur människor uppfattar vibrationer har också undersökts. Standarders uppfattning och rekommendationer, samt regelverk om lastformulering och gränsvärden för vibrationer presenteras. Rekommendationer från forskning av finita element modeller av trappor och dynamiska laster i dessa gås också igenom. Fallstudien består av mätningar i de verkliga trapporna, och av uppbyggnad och analysering av finita element modeller av trapporna. Mätningar av vibrationer och den dynamiska responsen hos trapporna när de utsätts för dynamiska laster orsakade av människor har utförts. De studerade lasterna inkluderar en impulslast skapad av ett hopp, last från en människa som går upp i trappan och last från en människa som går ner i trappan. Mätningarna har sedan försökts återskapas i finita element modellerna. Olika modellerings val och formuleringar för gång och impuls lasterna har studerats. Syftet är att undersöka hur olika modelleringsval hos kopplingar, randvillkor samt närliggande struktur påverkar egenfrekvenserna och modeformen hos trapporna. Olika beskrivningar på lasterna analyseras, både för impuls lasten, samt lasten från en människa som gå upp eller ner i trappan. Med hjälp av dessa resultat kommer några generella rekommendationer om hur finita element modeller av trappor kan konstrueras och hur en tillbörlig lastformulering för dynamiska laster uppnås.

Abstract:
Under typical conditions in the subtropical thermocline double-diffusion occurs in the form of salt fingering (warm, salty fluid overlies cold, fresh fluid). The formation of staircases in the thermohaline structure of the ocean has been observed since the late 1960s, with recent field data collected within the tropical Atlantic displaying staircases with high-gradient interfaces characterized by a unique spatial orientation determined by background temperature and salinity. Competing theories have been proposed to explain the dynamics of these staircases; however, the origin of the staircases and the mechanism that controls final equilibrium remains poorly understood. This thesis examines staircase development in the tropical Atlantic. Incorporating double diffusion using the flux-gradient formulation of Radko and Smith, staircases are numerically simulated to resolve the controversial aspects of the staircase theories. The staircase simulations are critically evaluated against the C-SALT experiment observations, and the conditions for their formation and explanation of the fully equilibrated state are resolved and explained. The effect of acoustic propagation through the three-dimensional modeled staircases is evaluated to determine the impact of these large staircase areas on various frequencies and depths.

Abstract:

Burns, Brenda Darlene. The Staircase Decomposition for Reductive Monoids. (Under the direction of Mohan Putcha.) The purpose of the research has been to develop a decomposition for the J-classes of a reductive monoid. The reductive monoid M(K) isconsidered first. A J-class in M(K) consists ofelements of the same rank. Lower and upper staircase matricesare defined and used to decompose a matrix x of rank r into theproduct of a lower staircase matrix, a matrix with a rank rpermutation matrix in the upper left hand corner, and an upperstaircase matrix, each of which is of rank r. The choice ofpermutation matrix is shown to be unique. The primary submatrix of a matrixis defined. The unique permutation matrix from the decompositionabove is seen to be the unique permutation matrix from Bruhat'sdecomposition for the primary submatrix. All idempotent elementsand regular J-classes of the lower and upper staircasematrices are determined. A decomposition for the upper and lowerstaircase matrices is given as well.The above results are then generalized to an arbitrary reductivemonoid by first determining the analogue of the components forthe decomposition above. Then the decomposition above is shown tobe valid for each J-class of a reductive monoid. Theanalogues of the upper and lower staircase matrices are shown tobe semigroups and all idempotent elements and regularJ-classes are determined. A decomposition for eachof them is discussed.

Abstract:
Realistic modeling of a 3D environment has grown in popularity due to the increasing realm of practical applications. Whether for practical navigation purposes, entertainment value, or architectural standardization, the ability to determine the dimensions of a room is becoming more and more important. One of the trickier, but critical, features within any multistory environment is the staircase. Staircases are difficult to model because of their uneven surface and various depth aspects. Coupling this need is a variety of ways to reach this goal. Unfortunately, many such methods rely upon specialized sensory equipment, multiple calibrated cameras, or other such impractical setups. Here, we propose a simpler approach. This paper outlines a method for extracting the slope dimensions of a staircase using a single monocular image. By relying on only a single image, we negate the need for extraneous accessories and glean as much information from common pictures. We do not hope to achieve the high level of accuracy seen from laser scanning methods but seek to produce a viable result that can both be helpful for current applications and serve as a building block that contributes to later development. When constructing our pipeline, we take into account several options. Each step can be achieved with different techniques which we evaluate and compare on either a qualitative or quantitative level. This leads to our final result which can accurately determine the slope of a staircase with an error rate of 31.1%. With a small amount of previous knowledge or preprocessing, this drops down to an average of 18.7% Overall, we deem this an acceptable and optimal result given the limited information and processing resources which the program was allowed to utilize.

Abstract:
The Schur functions {s_lambda} and ubiquitous Littlewood-Richardson coefficients are instrumental in describing representation theory, symmetric functions,and even certain areas of algebraic geometry. Determining when two skew diagrams D₁, D₂ have the same skew Schur function or determining when the difference of two such skew Schur functions SD₁ - SD₂ is Schur-positive reveals information about the structures corresponding to these functions. By defining a set of staircase diagrams that we can augment with other (skew) diagrams, we discover collections of skew diagrams for which the question of Schur-positivity among each difference can be resolved. Furthermore, for certain Schur-positive differences we give explicit formulas for computing the coefficients of the Schur functions in the difference. We extend from simple staircases to fat staircases, and carry on to diagrams called sums of fat staircases. These sums of fat staircases can also be augmented with other (skew) diagrams to obtain many instances of Schur positivity. We note that several of our Schur-positive differences become equalities of skew Schur functions when the number of variables is reduced. Finally, we give a factoring identity which allows one to obtain many of the non-trivial finite-variable equalities of skew Schur functions.

A moored profiler record from the western tropical North Atlantic provides the first continuous time series of temperature, salinity and velocity profiles in a thermohaline staircase. Variations in the intensity of layering and the evolution of layer properties are well documented during the 4.3 month record. Such staircases are the result of strong salt fingering at the interfaces between the mixed layers, and these data provide unique insights into the dynamics of salt fingers. In particular, a striking linear correlation between the temperature and salinity of the layers may be interpreted as resulting from vertical salt finger flux divergences. Data from this record allow new interpretations of previous work on this topic by McDougall (1991).

Thermohaline staircases consisting of a series of well mixed layers approximately 30 m thick are found at depths of 300-500 m in a region of the tropical North Atlantic spanning 48° to 58°W, 8° to 17° N. Density ratios ( ... ) with values near 1 indicate a double diffusive origin for the structure (Schmitt, 1981,1986). Determining the importance of double-diffusive mixing to the regional advection - diffusion balance is the subject of this study. Using hydrographic and current meter data collected in the C-SALT program of 1985 (Schmitt, 1987), we construct inverse models in both cartesian and density coordinates and seek bounds on the cross isopycnal mixing in the staircase region. In cartesian coordinates, the role of diffusion was not well resolved, probably due to inadequacy of the steady state model in the presence of eddies. By reformulating the problem in boxes bounded by isopycnals which more closely follow the layers, and solving directly for cross isopycnal fluxes of salt and heat, the resolution of the diffusivities was improved. Inversions were done on data from the spring and fall CTD surveys. The average salt diffusivity in the step region was estimated from the isopycnal inversions to be ks = (2.8 + 1.3)cm2 /s in spring and ks = (3.9 ± 2.2)cm2 /s in fall.

Abstract:
Ce travail est consacré à la conception, l'analyse et l'optimisation des codes correcteurs d'effacements de niveau applicatif (AL-FEC). Nous nous intéressons à une famille des codes LDPC généralisés (GLDPC), nommés les codes GLDPC-Staircase, qui sont com- posés d'un code LDPC-Staircase (code de base) ainsi que des codes Reed-Solomon (RS) (codes externes). Dans la première partie de cette thèse, nous commençons par montrer que les codes RS ayant une construction basée sur la matrice "quasi" Hankel sont les codes MDS les plus appropriés pour obtenir la structure des codes GLDPC-Staircase. Ensuite, nous proposons un nouveau type de décodage à ces codes, baptisé le décodage hybride (IT/RS/ML), pour atteindre les caspacités de correction du décodage par maximum de vraisemblance (ML) avec de faible complexité. Afin d'étudier l'impact de la structure des codes GLDPC- Staircase sur le décodage, nous proposons une autre construction : ils se diffèrent sur la nature des symboles de redondance LDPC générés. Puis, pour prédire le seuil de décodage et les écarts par rapport à la limite de Shannon des codes GLDPC-Staircase, nous élaborons une analyse asymptotique en fonction de la technique d'évolution de densité (DE), la technique EXIT (Extrinsic Information Transfer) et le théorème d'air. Finalement, en se basant sur l'analyse à taille finie et l'analyse asymptotique, nous ajustons les différentes paramètres internes de ces codes pour obtenir la configuration optimale sous le décodage hybride (IT/RS/ML). La deuxième partie de la thèse est consacrée à l'étude des codes GLDPC-Staircase dans diverses situations. Tout d'abord, nous montrons que ces codes ont des performances asymptotiquement très proches de la limite de Shannon. En plus, à taille finie, ils permet- tent d'atteindre d'excellentes capacités de correction d'effacements (i.e., très proches de celles des codes MDS) peu importe la taille des objets : très faible overhead de décodage, faible plancher d'erreur, et une zone "waterfall" raide. Nous montrons aussi que les performances de ces codes sont trés proches des codes RaptorQ et surpassent celles des codes Raptor, les codes LDPC-Staircase, et un autre code GLDPC avec une construction différente. Finalement, nous proposons une méthodologie générale pour étudier l'impact de l'ordonnancement des paquets envoyés sur les performances des codes GLDPC-Staircase sur un grand nombre des canaux à effacements (avec des pertes en rafale ou pas). Cette étude montre le meilleur ordonnancement de paquets. Tous les résultats mentionnés ci-dessus montrent que les codes GLDPC-Staircase peuvent considérés comme des codes AL-FEC universels.

This report is a Southern Paiute ethnographic study of the Grand Staircase- Escalante NM. This is the first report of activities conducted by the University of Arizona regarding Kaibab Paiute ethnographic resources currently within the boundaries of the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument (GSENM). The GSENM is a very large area that has been carved out of some of the most topographically and ecologically diverse lands in North America and contain a range of important Southern Paiute cultural resources and places. The Kaibab Paiute people were one of a number of Southern Paiute districts of the Southern Paiute nation who traditionally and aboriginally occupied and used the biotic and abiotic resources of this area. This study details the physical, prehistoric, historic, and cultural ties between the Southern Paiutes and the GSENM. In addition, this report presents the current relations of Southern Paiutes to this cultural landscape and the ways in which resource appropriation from the past continues to impact expressions of power in the present.

Abstract:
This thesis reports the results of a project which identified differences in characteristics of Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument user groups as they related to their perceptions of how they experience the Monument as recreationists. It explored opinions of four groups: hikers vs. hunters and pre-designation users vs. post-designation users. Responses of these groups were compared for attribution of perceived resource damage, feelings of crowding, acceptability of management action, and importance of identified monument values to their visit. In addition, characteristics of the users were examined to determine if demographic characteristics accounted for differences in perception toward the resources. Finally, how these groups perceived grazing livestock and multiple uses on the monument was examined. Significant differences were found between most categories in hunters and hikers. Predesignation visitors and post-designation visitors differed only in a few categories.

Abstract:
What can be learned about design through the process of building? The intent of this thesis is to learn about building; to gain a true understanding of the way design decisions are realized through built components. If by knowing what is to come in a project's future, does the designer change their way of working? A disconnect exists between imagined and realized design. As an idea moves closer to reality, much of its' initial spirit can be lost in translation. This thesis was conceived as a design-build project, in an attempt to answer these questions. The intent was to consider a small-scale, built addition to an existing structure with a program simply focused on providing a place to vew from. By limiting the scope of building to a simple structure, it inherently forces a complete understanding of the nature of its connection. Through this consideration, one also must consider the limitations of assembling the work; that is, what are one or two people capable of making? The limits of solidarity result in a design that requires modularity; something that is able to be broken down into small, manageable pieceswhich are assembled to produce a whole. Therein lies both the challenge and the value of this thesis, as well as the lessons learned in building architecture.
Master of Architecture
What can be learned about design through the process of building? The aim of this Thesis was to take fundamental theoretical knowledge about building, acquired through my architectural education, and apply it through building a small structure. A freestanding concrete staircase, located at a research facility on Virginia Tech's campus, was chosen for the structure's site. The intent was to add an additional set of stairs to it, allowing visitors to reach a higher viewing point to look out over the hills of Blacksburg. The project was conceived as something small enough to be built quickly and with few people. By using primarily wood and simple hardware store materials, the project would be easy to work on and relatively inexpensive.

Full text
Abstract:

Ancient occupation of the American Southwest was full of uncertainty. Precipitation was unreliable, and sufficient edible plants and animal resources were linked to the productivity of the environment. Communities had to be resourceful and flexible in the face of scarcity. To ensure reliable food sources, ancient peoples often stored crops and other plant foods in sealed masonry structures, or granaries, protected in alcoves high on canyon walls. This thesis research compares ancient methods for coping with scarcity by examining the presence of patterns in prehispanic granary construction in the Grand Canyon and the Fiftymile Mountain region of Grand Staircase-Escalante. Granaries in the two regions date between A.D. 1000 and A.D. 1250 and are associated with three main cultural groups: the Kayenta branch of the Ancestral Puebloans, the Virgin branch of the Ancestral Puebloans, and the Cohonina. Food storage practices are analyzed using adaptive concepts of optimization and risk minimization, adding to the understanding of the complex nature of human interaction with the environment. Although similar Ancestral Puebloan groups occupied the Grand Canyon and Grand Staircase-Escalante, the results of the research show variability in how granaries were incorporated into scarcity management.

Abstract:
This study explored how individual, 4- to 5-year-old children, who displayed average to above-average mathematical ability for their age responded to an instructional program designed to facilitate construction of the mental counting line. Case's (1996a) neo-Piagetian theory, Case's (1996b) model of the process of structural change, and Porath's (1991b) model of the intellectual development of academically advanced children provided the theoretical framework for the study. The microgenetic approach advocated by Catán (1986a) was used to explore change and variability in the developmental pathways of each of the children in the study. Three girls (aged 4.0, 4.1, 4.8 years) and 1 boy (aged 4.11 years), who had not yet constructed the mental counting line, participated in the study. An instructional program (7 weeks long) was used to stimulate the development of the mental counting line. The Quantitative Reasoning subtests of the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scales, Fifth Edition (Roid, 2003a) and four measures of conceptual understanding (Number Knowledge test, Balance Beam, Money Knowledge and Birthday Party tasks) were administered prior to instruction. The measures of conceptual understanding were readministered following instruction. A qualitative analysis of the children's pretest and posttest scores, descriptive microgenetic quantitative and qualitative analyses of the children's responses to the instructional program, and a trend analysis of the children's performance were conducted. The results indicated the children progressed from the pretest to the posttest. Intra-individual and inter-individual differences in the rate and the pattern of construction of the mental counting line were apparent. The results provide evidence for individual pathways to development as children negotiate the critical transition between the predimensional and dimensional stages of Case's (1996a) theory. The results support Case's (1996a) neo-Piagetian theory, Case's (1996b) model of the process of structural change, and Porath's (1991b) model of the intellectual development of academically advanced children. The results are consistent with the results of studies from Case's (1996a) neo-Piagetian theoretical perspective, the results of studies from other neo-Piagetian theoretical perspectives (Case, 1996c; Siegler, 1996b), and the results of studies on the development of children's mathematical understanding (Abbott, Berninger, & Busse, 1996; Robinson, Abbott, Berninger, Busse, & Mukhopadhyay, 1997).

Abstract:
Skolan har ett stort inflytande på dagens ungdomar och enligt läroplanen har skolan ett tydligt jämlikhetsuppdrag att förmedla. Att hjälpa eleven att problematisera människors lika värde oavsett kön och etnicitet samt bemöta fördomar med kunskap ingår i de mål lärarna bör ha sett till läroplanens formuleringar. Dock besitter kanske inte alla lärare de kunskaper som behövs om bland annat jämlikhet, jämställdhet, genus och etnicitet, om ett genuint intresse inte finns hos den enskilda personen. Kan läroböcker då ge läraren stöd? I svenskämnet ska eleverna i svenska 1 bland annat arbeta med området sociolekter, ett avsnitt som i stor utsträckning ger utrymme till både diskussion och reflektion i nämnda frågor. Syftet med uppsatsen är att se hur ser det ut i 5 av de läromedlen som finns i skolan. Är de jämlika och uppfyller de ett jämlikhetssyfte?   Undersökningen bygger på sociolektavsnittet i fem olika läromedel som är framtagna för gymnasiets kurs i svenska 1 respektive A. Till hjälp har två analysmodeller använts, genustrappan och etnicitettrappan. Resultatet visar att inget av de granskade läromedlen kan användas som hjälp i arbetet med jämlikhetsfrågor men att texterna kan nå ett jämlikhetssyfte om den enskilda läraren själv problematiserar och diskuterar exemplen. Samtidigt är de inte diskriminerande utan snarare könsneutrala, ett omdöme som dock inte är att sträva efter utifrån den forskning som gjorts inom jämställdhet.

Abstract:
The interface of corpus linguistics and second language writing has led to extensive corpus-based research focusing on a description of academic writing. The overwhelming majority of this research, however, has focused on scholarly writing, which may not be a valid model for novice writing. This thesis proposes the teaching of second language writing should be informed by a staircase model of writing progression which aims instruction at the level of student writing. For English for academic purposes writers in intensive English programs, this target is first year undergraduate writing, specifically freshman composition as it is taught in North American higher education contexts. This study specifically compares the frequency of the noun phrase in freshman composition writing and scholarly writing with two main aims: to provide empirical evidence of the differences between the two levels of writing and to contribute to a description of freshman composition writing. The findings from this comparison clearly demonstrate that noun phrases in both levels of writing employ a discernible pattern, and there are distinct differences between those patterns. A critical need form pedagogical materials to focus more on phrasal structures in general, but especially nounphrases, is evident.

Abstract:
In the developed world, the existing stock of houses will provide shelter to the majority of population in the upcoming years. Houses are physical objects that consume material and energy and need to be maintained, repaired and restructured from time to time. In order to fulfill the requirements of the Kyoto protocol and be comfortable for their inhabitants, the existing stock needs to be renovated. Strong disagreement between different parts of the scientific community and overlapping and contradictory concepts make the definition of sustainable renovation confusing. In this Thesis, therefore, an approach of renovation and operation for higher energy efficiency and lower climate impact has been the main focus. Based on a systems analysis approach, the aim of this work is to develop a manual to stimulate house owners to become role models in sustainable renovation and operation of family houses, the Thesis providing recommendations to reducing the energy consumption of their houses by evaluating cost and benefits of possible actions and choosing the most energy and cost effective approach of a series of alternatives. With the results of this analysis, a sustainable renovation and operation staircase is proposed. The work found that it is possible develop a staircase manual for sustainable renovation and operation of family houses that follows a logical step-by-step approach and could result in considerable life cycle reductions in both costs and climate impact. The work also suggests that it is possible for academic experts to develop material in a simpler form and language to reach the public in a more understandable form.

Abstract:
Vertikala strukturer i byggnader har blivit väldigt vanligt och mer komplexa, därmed ökar vikten av wayfinding. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka om en tredimensionell modell av en spiraltrappa ökar spatiala orienteringen när man rör sig vertikalt via den motsvarande existerande trappan. Ett experiment utfördes med 25 deltagare, 13 män and 12 kvinnor, mellan åldrarna 18-29 (M= 23.12, SD= 2.93). Hälften blev fördelade till testgrupp och andra hälften till kontrollgrupp. Båda grupper studerade en karta i 30 sekunder och blev instruerade att gå till ett mål på översta våningen. Testgruppen presenterades med ett visuellt hjälpmedel innan de gick in i trappan, kontrollgruppen såg inte detta hjälpmedel. När deltagarna nått översta våningen var deras uppgift att peka till tre olika platser, målet, starten och till Universum byggnaden med en kompassapplikation. Graderna av fel vid pekandet räknades ut och analyserades. Deltagarna fyllde även i Santa Barbara Sense of Direction skalan för att undersöka deras spatiala förmåga. Andra aspekter som togs i aktsamhet var huruvida de var familjära med byggnaden sedan tidigare och skillnader i utförandet mellan kvinnor och män. Resultatet visade något mindre fel vid pekuppgifterna av testgruppen än kontrollgruppen, dock visades ingen signifikant skillnad i datan. Alternativa tolkningar av resultatet och begränsningar tas upp i diskussionen.
Vertical structures in buildings have become very common and more complex, and thereby the importance of wayfinding increases. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether a three-dimensional model of a spiral staircase will improve spatial orientation when travelling in vertical motion via the corresponding real-world staircase. An experiment was conducted with 25 participants, 13 males and 12 females, between the ages of 18-29 (M= 23.12, SD= 2.93). They were divided into a test-group and a control-group. Both groups studied a map for 30 seconds and were instructed to walk to a goal on the top floor. The test-group was presented with a three-dimensional representation of the staircase as a visual aid before entering the stairs, the control-group was not presented with the aid. When the participants reached the top floor, they were instructed to point to the goal, the start and to the Universum building using a compass application. The pointing error was calculated and analyzed. The participants also filled in the Santa Barbara Sense of Direction scale to assess their spatial ability. Other aspects that was taken into consideration was to what extent the participants were familiar with the building the experiment took place in and differences in performance between men and women. Results show an indication of a smaller pointing error for the test-group than the control-group in all pointing tasks, however there were no statistically significant differences in the data. Alternative interpretations of the results and limitations of the study are discussed.

Full text
Abstract:
High variability phonetic training (HVPT) has been shown to improve non-native speakers’ perceptual performance in discriminating difficult second language phonemic contrasts (Bradlow, Akahane-Yamada, Pisoni, & Tohkura, 1999; Bradlow, Pisoni, Akahane-Yamada, & Tohkura, 1997; Lively, Logan, & Pisoni, 1993; Lively, Pisoni, Yamada, Tohkura, & Yamada, 1994; Logan, Lively, & Pisoni, 1991). The perceptual learning can be generalized to novel words (Wang & Munro, 2004), novel speakers (Nishi & Kewley-Port, 2007; Richie & Kewley-Port, 2008) and even to speech production (Bradlow et al., 1997). However, the rigidity of the laboratory training settings has limited applications to real life situations. The current thesis examined the effectiveness of a new phonetic training program - the Spoken English Discrimination (SED) training. SED training is a computerized individual training program designed to improve non-native speakers’ bottom-up perceptual sensitivity to discriminate difficult second language (L2) phonemic contrasts. It combines a number of key training features including 1) natural spoken stimuli, 2) highly variable stimuli spoken by multiple speakers, 3) multi-talker babble as background noise and 4) an adaptive staircase procedure that individualizes the level of background babble. The first experiment investigated the potential benefits of different versions of the SED training program. The effect of stimulus variability (single speaker vs. multiple speakers) and design of background babble (constant vs. adaptive staircase) were examined using English voiceless-voiced plosives /t/-/d/ phonemic contrast as the training materials. No improvements were found in the identification accuracy on the /t/-/d/ contrast in post-test, but identification improvements were found on the untrained English /ε/-/æ/ phonemic contrast. The effectiveness of SED training was re-examined in Chapter 3 using the English /ε/-/æ/ phonemic contrast as the training material. Three experiments were conducted to compare the SED training paradigms that had the background babble implemented either at a constant level (Constant SED) or using the adaptive staircase procedure (Adaptive Staircase SED), and the longevity of the training effects. Results revealed that the Adaptive Staircase SED was the more effective paradigm as it generated greater training benefits and its effect generalized better to the untrained /t/-/d/ phonemic contrast. Training effects from both SED paradigms retained six months after the last training section. Before examining whether SED training leads to improvements in speech production, Chapter 4 investigated the phonetics perception pattern of L1 Mandarin Malaysian speakers, L1 Malaysian English speakers and native British English speakers. The production intelligibility of the L1 Mandarin speakers was also evaluated by the L1 Malaysian English speakers and native British English speakers. Single category assimilation was observed in both L1 Mandarin and L1 Malaysian English speakers whereby the /ε/ and /æ/ phonetic sounds were assimilated to a single/æ/ category (Best, McRoberts, & Goodell, 2001). While the British English speakers showed ceiling performance for all phonetic categories involved, the L1 Malaysian English speakers had difficulty identifying the British English /ε/ phoneme and the L1 Mandarin speakers had difficulty identifying the /d/ final, /ε/ and /æ/ phonemes. As seen by their perceptual performance, the L1 Mandarin speakers also had difficulty producing distinct /d/ final, /ε/ and /æ/ phonemes. Two experiments in Chapter 5 examined whether the effects of SED training generalizes to speech production. The results showed that L1 Malaysian English speakers and native British English speakers found different SED paradigms to be more effective in inducing the production improvement. Only the production intelligibility of the /æ/ phoneme improved as a result of SED training. Collectively, the seven experiments in this thesis showed that SED training was effective in improving Malaysian speakers’ perception and production performance of difficult English phonemic contrasts. Further research should be conducted to examine the efficacy of SED training in improving speech perception and production across different training materials and in speakers who come from different language backgrounds.

Denna uppsats ämnar visa på hur människor i vår omgivning kan drivas till att begå terrordåd och utgår från en analys av en bok som beskriver en ung mans radikalisering in i IS. Dels analyseras radikaliseringen utifrån Moghaddams trappa till terrorism och dels utifrån McCauley och Moskalenkos tvåpyramidsmodell. Boken som ligger till grund för analysen är Ingen plats för mig, skriven av författaren och journalisten Katia Wagner, som under ett av sina uppdrag i Norge mötte den unge tunisiern Ghazi. En hermeneutisk analys av händelseförloppet utifrån de bägge modellerna visar att modellerna på olika sätt belyser viktiga etapper i radikaliseringen av Ghazi. Uppsatsen resultat visar tydligt att radikaliseringen av Ghazi fungerat som en process där han successivt socialiserats in i en världsbild som bland annat betonat dualism, ett starkt kategoriserat tänkande och en skiftning i moralisk uppfattning.

Abstract:
This thesis presents a design of a new building — hotel, containing thirty accommodation units, space for employees, restaurant and vine bar meant for both customers of the hotel, and public. Hotel is situated in a cadastral area Brod nad Dyjí. Building consists of basement and five floors with proposed accommodation capacity of sixty people. The basement perimeter walls are designed from reinforced concrete with the width of 300 and 400 mm. The walls are insulated by XPS polystyrene which is 220 mm wide. Perimeter walls of the above-ground floors are proposed as a combination of reinforced concrete and reinforced skeleton concrete supplemented by masonry wall of therm type. All these constructions are insulated by 220 mm wide glass wool facade insulation. The building envelope is a light ventilated facade. All horizontal constructions are projected as reinforced concrete slabs with the width of 250 mm. The roof of the building consists of three flat parts. The lowest part of the roof is designed as a vegetation roof with extensive layer. The roof of the hotel is proposed as walkable with wear layer made of concrete pavement of dimension 400 x 400 mm. Construction of the roof above the fifth floor is designed as one layer flat roof on concrete slab with the width of 250 mm. Inside the object are three reinforced concrete staircases (main staircase, emergency staircase and staircase for staff). The main entrance to the object is situated on the south side of the property, while the staff entrances are located on the east and north-east part. Parking for the object customers is placed in front of the main entrance, parking for staff is situated on the north side. This thesis is processed in the form of project documentation for construction realisation.

Através da pesquisa dos elementos verticais, presentes na maioria dos edifícios da cidade de Mália do período palacial (2300-1480 a.C.), temos como objetivo nesta dissertação de mestrado analisar a organização tridimensional das construções, tanto as privadas como as públicas. A investigação inicialmente parte das noções do conhecimento de todas propriedades e características desses mega-artefatos, os edifícios. Em seguida, busca identificar padrões e regularidades, analisando os materiais, as técnicas e as disposições das escadarias inseridas nas construções, para assim poder compreender o papel do elemento vertical na percepção do espaço entre os minóicos, a tridimensionalidade de seus edifícios, suas restrições e possíveis reestruturações de funções, pois o que restou dessas construções são apenas as rotas horizontais. Tenta-se identificar as concepções que levaram seus usuários a optar por verticalizar suas cidades. Esta pesquisa revela que os elementos verticais são essencias na paisagem em relação aos aspectos espaciais construídos; definem edifícios que se destacam e modificam o território onde viviam os minóicos.
Through the research of vertical elements, which are prevalent throughout the majority of the buildings in the palatial city of Malia (2300-1480 a.C.), we aim to analyze the spatial organization of tri-dimensional constructions, in both private and public buildings. The investigation is initially based on the notions of the knowledge of all the properties and characteristics of those mega-artefacts, the buildings. Then, identify patterns and regularities, analyzing the material, the techniques, and the layout of staircases built into the constructions, as to achieve a deeper understanding of the role the vertical element played in the perception of space among the minoans, their tridimensionality techniques, the restrictions and the possibility of restructuring functions, since what is left of the constructions is only the floor plan. We attempt to identify the conceptions that led the users to choose to make their cities vertical. This research shows how essential the vertical elements are in the landscape when built spacial aspects are concerned; they define buildings which stand out and modify the territories where the minoans lived.

Abstract:
Cement-based composite boards reinforced by organic fiber, commonly known as cement fiber boards are universal and environmental material. Nowadays they are commonly used in construction industry in the form of facade facing for ventilated facades, interior and exterior ceilings or as a lost formwork for the bridge constructions. In these ways of using the cement fiber boards are strained mainly perpendicularly to their median plane. Material characteristics for this kind of strain are declared by the manufacturers. This diploma thesis is focused on ways of using the cement fiber boards reinforced by organic fiber as prefabricated, constructional material for interior staircases. In this case, every segment is strained even in its median plane. This way of strain is atypical and is not declared by the manufacturers in the manufacturer's technical sheets. The main goal of the diploma thesis was to experimentally determine the material characteristics in relation to the possibility of using the cement fiber boards reinforced by organic fiber for the construction of interior stairways. Material characteristics were determined by using Czech technical standards and information from professional literature. Testing tools made by 3D printing were used in the measurements. The possibilities of connecting cement fiber boards by mechanical and glued joint were checked out. The trial “stand” from CLT boards was designed for the real testing of single-arm and double-arm staircases. The outcomes of the experimental measurements confirmed the possibility to use the cement fiber boards for interior stairways. It is necessary to support the design of the staircase by static calculations and to respect the design of the dimensions of the individual segments in the implementation.
