Gentrification without displacement
… urban neighborhoods. This action facilitates displacement of existing residents in the formerly disinvested neighborhoods. This displacement is another step of a long history of marginalization of low-income minority communities. Unites States housing policy has facilitated urban disinvestment …

DEVELOPMENT OF PHASE RETRIEVAL TECHNIQUES IN DISPLACEMENT AND DISPLACEMENT DERIVATIVES MEASUREMENT
… proposes several novel techniques for full-field displacement and displacement derivatives measurement using coherent optical methods. A Teager-operator based algorithm called DHODA and a novel fringe orientation and density map based fringe analysis technique are proposed for phase derivatives …

Integrating seakeeping in the design of semi-displacement and displacement monohulls
… with ships of small size operating in the semidisplacement region. Furthermore, seakeeping at high speeds cannot be reliably calculated by traditional methods such as strip theory due to the hydrodynamic effects that occur in the semidisplacement region. Traditional methods have a vessels' …

A study of full displacement design of frame structures using displacement sensitivity analysis
… for structural design based on allowable displacements for structural members, independent of stresses caused by the configurations imposed. Structural design can be based on displacement constraints applied in the same basic format as stress constraints so that convergence is based on …

Deformable models using displacement constraints
… explores a variation of a technique, called "displacement constraints" [19], used for creating and animating deformable objects. It is a constraint-based technique that uncouples the constraint forces from the external forces acting on an object, and solves a system of geometric constraints at …

Three Essays on Worker Displacement
Chapter 1 examines the effect of job displacement on the distribution of earnings. I utilize a novel technique, quantile fixed effect regression, in order to examine how the overall distribution of earnings changes while controlling for unobserved heterogeneity in worker quality. I find that while …

Floor-supply displacement ventilation system
… environment. To improve indoor air quality, displacement ventilation systems can work well. The system provides fresh air directly to the occupied zone. However, the existing floor-supply displacement ventilation systems have some problems. Hence, the objective of this research was to improve …

FORCED DISPLACEMENT IN INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL LAW
Forced displacement is one of the most pressing phenomena of our time. According to UNHCR data, the number of forcibly displaced persons worldwide increased from 18.2 million to 117.3 million between 1993 and 2024 – more than six times higher in thirty years. Despite the scale and severity of the …

Large-Displacement Linear-Motion Compliant Mechanisms
… have generally been developed for small displacement applications. The objective of the thesis is to provide a basis for improved large-displacement linear-motion compliant mechanisms (LLCMs). One of the challenges in developing large-displacement compliant mechanisms is the apparent …

Scale model studies of displacement ventilation
Displacement ventilation is an air conditioning method that provides conditioned air to indoor environments with the goal to improve air quality while reducing energy consumption. This study investigates the performance of displacement ventilation systems in open plan office environments, focusing …

Capacitive displacement sensing for the Nanogate
… the development of an integrated capacitive displacement sensor which enables nanometer precision measurement of the separation of the surfaces of the Nanogate. The work in this thesis can be divided into two parts: fabrication of a new version of the Nanogate and the development of …
