Segmentation and Strain Mapping of a Beating Heart
<p>Conventional methods of estimating deformation optically often compare image intensities before and after deformation to help estimate the strain fields. However, these current meth ods often introduce undesirable error that propagates through the system, growing larger through each strain …

Beating the system : accelerating commercialization of new materials
Over the past century, materials have faced notoriously long delays between invention and commercialization. These delays make private investment very difficult, and can prevent good materials from reaching markets. A systematic exploration of the commercial histories of major commodity …

Beating the Boundaries: An Exploration of BDSM as Religioning
The focus of this research is an exploration of BDSM experience as it emerges from the complex interactions of kink activities and relationships. It argues that practices which are ostensibly not religious can be understood as contributing to personal processes of religioning. Enriching debates …

Being Management/Beating Management: Unions, Strategy, And Conflict Management Systems
This thesis explores the interconnection between old and new actors as well as programs for conflict management in the workplace: unions and Integrated Conflict Management Systems (ICMSs). ICMSs are designed to provide an interconnected web of conflict resolution options and services to employees …

Ex-Vivo Slaughterhouse Porcine Crystalloid-Perfused Beating Heart via Langendorff Method
… of this study was to resuscitate isolated beating porcine hearts obtained from slaughterhouse swine for a minimum of 1 hour with a crystalloid buffer reperfusion instead of blood via an extracorporeal Langendorff apparatus. The isolated beating heart functions outside of the body under …

Beating the Dead Horse: Deconstructing the Junk Genius of Naked Lunch
… literary work: Logic and Ethics. In "Beating the Dead Horse: Deconstructing the Junk Genius of Naked Lunch," I illustrate Burroughs' means of exposing the flawed binaries that undergird the Aristotelian Logic of language. In Naked Lunch, the author bares the slippery nature of any such …

STABILITY AND CHANGE IN PATTERNS OF WIFE-BEATING: A SYSTEMS THEORY APPROACH
<p>This research is a longitudinal study of wife battering using a system's theory approach. Two types of longitudinal analyses are presented. The first is the analysis of retrospective data of histories of violent relationships. The second type of longitudinal analysis is the comparison of the …

Study of prothrombin activation by taipan snake venom using light beating spectroscopy
… study, the recently developed technique of light beating spectroscopy has been used for the first time to measure the dynamic properties of prothrombin and its activation kinetics via Taipan Snake Venom, micellar phospholipid and Ca++. The correlation times fCc) on the samples of human …

Collagen-Glycosaminoglycan Scaffold Systems to Assess HL-1 Cardiomyocyte Beating and Alignment
… of scaffold systems to examine the alignment and beating potential of HL-1 cardiomyoctyes in a 3D environment. Collagen-glycosaminoglycan scaffolds have been used extensively to probe the behavior of mature cells in vitro, but have not yet been designed for cardiac applications. In order to …

Beating the world's best at Super Smash Bros. with deep reinforcement learning
There has been a recent explosion in the capabilities of game-playing artificial intelligence. Many classes of RL tasks, from Atari games to motor control to board games, are now solvable by fairly generic algorithms, based on deep learning, that learn to play from experience with often minimal …

Longest Common Subsequence Over Constant-Sized Alphabets: Beating the Naive Approximation Ratio
This thesis investigates the approximability of the Longest Common Subsequence (LCS) problem. The fastest known algorithm for solving the LCS problem runs in essentially quadratic time in the length of the input, and it is known that under the Strong Exponential Time Hypothesis there can be no …

Probing weakly bound long-range Rydberg molecules by quantum beating experiments in rubidium vapor
… 8$s$, 5$d$, 6$d$) are observed in a quantum beating experiment for the first time. The experiments are conducted using parametric four-wave mixing (PFWM) in a pump-probe fashion. Fourier analysis of the time-domain data yields a spectrum on which various quantum beats are identified. Energy …

THE STATUS OF WOMEN AND WIFE-BEATING IN THE U S: A MULTI-LEVEL ANALYSIS
… relationship between status of women and wife-beating has been the subject of some debate. It has been argued that sexual inequality is one of the central causes of wife abuse (Dobash and Dobash, 1980; Martin, 1976). On the other hand, some claim that the charges being brought about by the …
