Deconstructing The Winner's Circle
… gendered criteria in what I call the "winner's circle." I further explore how blackness, sexuality, and gender are mediated and negotiated in and through women's bodies within the arena of baton twirling.

An Algebraic Circle Method
… we present an adaptation of the Hardy-Littlewood Circle Method to give estimates for the number of curves in a variety over a finite field. The key step in the classical Circle Method is to prove that some cancellation occurs in some exponential sums. Using a theorem of Katz, we reduce this to …

Keats and his circle.
In this study I have attempted to show Keat's relationship to his friends, including his family and Fanny Brawne, and something of the influence of these friends on the poet's life and works.

The Path Is A Circle
While the pastoral environment that surrounds my studio is inspirational in itself, my treescapes and organic abstractions are reflections of referential places experienced along my life's path. Considering the constant onslaught of information in our increasingly rushed society, I hope my work, …

Circle Planarity of Level Graphs
In this dissertation we generalise the notion of level planar graphs in two directions: track planarity and radial planarity. Our main results are linear time algorithms both for the planarity test and for the computation of an embedding, and thus a drawing. Our algorithms use and generalise …

Circle-Valued Generating Family Invariants
… explores the extension of generating families to circle-valued functions, and their use in defining new invariants for Legendrian links in J<sup>1</sup>(<em>M, S</em><sup>1</sup>). Two key results from the theory of real-valued generating families, the persistence and the uniqueness of certain …

Primer-Optimized Results and Trends for Circular Phasing and Other Circle-to-Circle Impulsive Coplanar Rendezvous
Two non-phasing circle-to-circle impulsive rendezvous problems are also examined to show the applicability of the tools developed here to a broader class of problems and to show how optimizing these rendezvous problems differs from the circular phasing case.

Transitions: Starting the Second, Full Circle
… influences that have led me to start the second circle of my professional life. It is an open and honest exploration of the back-story of my life and the academic and professional influences that led me to seek a Master of Fine Arts Degree at Virginia Commonwealth University. With no parallels …

Covering problem with minimum radius enclosing circle
… study extends the classical smallest enclosing circle problem in location science to optimize healthcare communication hubs. Given a set of demand points and potential groups, we identify the optimal number of subgroups to cover all points and the circle enclosing them with minimum radius. The …

Surfing the Bar to the Solar Circle
… in the Milky Way located within the solar circle. Its current mass is measured to be of order magnitude 1,000 solar masses. The age of the cluster is estimated to be approximately 8 Gyr old. Despite experiencing evaporation and tidal shocks, this cluster still exists defying expectations of …

Symplectic circle actions with isolated fixed points
Consider a symplectic circle action on a closed symplectic manifold $M$ with non-empty isolated fixed points. Associated to each fixed point, there are well-defined non-zero integers, called \emph{weights}. We prove that the action is Hamiltonian if the sum of an odd number of weights is never …

Place, Bound By A Circle A Hospice
Death is a profoundly solitary moment in which one faces the meaning of one's existence. Death is an emotional, spiritual, psychological and physical act. For the terminally ill, the hospice is a viable alternative to dying in a hospital. The Hospice can accommodate death being faced intimately …

Circle Packing in Euclidean and Hyperbolic Geometries
… vertex so that the vertices represent centers of circles, and the edges denote patterns of tangency. Such a configuration of circles is called a circle packing. We shall give evidence for the existence and uniqueness of circle packings generated by such graphs, as well as an explanation of the …

The hermeneutical circle : an exploration of theological methodology
… the methodological genre of the hermeneutical circle, is to see a method emerge that is fundamentally balanced; in other words, a theological method that is able to engage with immediate context, wider history, current theologies and classical theologies. Holland and Henriot's notion of the …
