Immigrating to public housing : Haitian immigrants and the transformation of Washington Elms and Newtowne Court
… housing developments in the US: Washington Elms and Newtowne Court. I use archival and face-to-face interview data to answer two questions: Is public housing becoming a port-of-entry neighborhood for recent immigrants? (in this case, for Haitians) and, if so, what does it mean for Housing …

Timing is everything almost: An analysis of Eugene O'Neill's "Desire Under the Elms" in terms of its success
Eugene O'Neill's Desire Under the Elms has proven itself a play worthy of praise. This thesis traces the specific elements which illustrate that this theatrical work, having gone beyond the audience for which it was written in 1924, continues to be rightfully considered a success seventy-five years …

Republic of Shade : the emergence of the American elm as a cultural and urban design element in nineteenth-century New England
… or persons. Planted en masse as a street tree, elms changed the quality of that space itself, transforming the appearance of the common landscape, and forging one of the most powerful images of place in American history-the elm-tossed New England town. The study culminates by examining the …

Public housing renovation : an opportunity for a better housing environment
… in the Cambridge project of Washington Elms. This thesis uses two Cambridge projects as cases: Newtowne Court and Washington Elms. Located one by the other, they represent the first projects in the city, with the Elms currently undergoing renovation. This work concluded that the …

Analysis of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) activity using electron cyclotron emission (ECE) diagnostics on Alcator C-Mod tokamak
… a new approach to diagnose edge localized modes (ELMs) using ECE diagnostics was explored. Both MHD modes were accompanied by hollow pressure and current profiles. The associated q-profiles were also hollow with q0 >> 1, where q0 is the safety factor on the magnetic axis. In both cases, the …

White-tailed deer density and habitat relationships
… was found between stripping of slippery elms and age, dbh, and height classes. Protein (P < 0.001) and starch (P < 0.01) contents of the bark were significantly higher in slippery elms than in any other tree species.

Towards engineering living functional materials
… The field of engineered living materials (ELMs) aims to recapitulate the remarkable properties of natural biology to create novel, growable, multifunctional materials using genetically engineered organisms.

Pedestal structure and stability in high-performance plasmas on Alcator C-Mod
… suppression, mitigation, or avoidance of large ELMs is the subject of much current research. In light of this, a firm physical understanding of the pedestal structure and stability against the ELM trigger is essential for the extrapolation of high-performance regimes to large-scale operation, …

Performance of metallic and carbon based materials under the influence of intense transient energy deposition
… thermal loads such as edge localized modes (ELMs), plasma disruptions or vertical displacement events (VDEs) in a magnetic confined fusion reactor. Crack formation, thermal erosion and redeposition mainly take place under these conditions and may cause catastrophic damage in the materials. …

The Shoelace Antenna : a device to induce short-wavelength fluctuations in the edge plasma of the Alcator C-Mod Tokamak
… the appearance of bursting Edge Localized Modes (ELMs). Because of the damage they cause to first-wall components, large-amplitude ELMs do not extrapolate to a full-size, steady state fusion reactor, and so it is of critical importance for the worldwide fusion research endeavor to identify, …

Genetically Engineered Wound Dressing for Sensing and Treating Candida albicans Infections in Diabetic Foot Ulcers
… hydrogel-based Engineered Living Materials (ELMs) as an antifungal wound dressing. Additionally, to increase the efficacy of engineered antifungal dressing, we develop a genetic drug releasing system in the presence of blue light. Thus, here we describe the fundamental work-frame for the …

Analysis and synthesis techniques of nonlinear dynamical systems with applications to diagnostic of controlled thermonuclear fusion reactors
… a study of dynamical behaviour of Type I ELMs has been performed for a future modelization of the phenomenon. In this context, a statistical analysis of time intervals between successive Type I ELMs has been proposed.---------------------------------- Il tema principale di questa tesi è …

Effects of the Deep Meditative Relaxation Technique (DMRT) On Nocturnal Self-Awakening Sleep/Wake Quality Among University Students
This study investigates effects of the Deep Meditative Relaxation Technique (DMRT)on self-awakening sleep/wake quality among university students. DMRT is apsycho-physiological, self-control intervention that operates on the theory that ifpsycho-physiological mind/body systems are unified to produce …

Understanding the Mechanisms that Determine the Edge Electron Density Profile in Tokamaks
… regimes free of Type-I edge localized modes (ELMs). Databases of the transition to the improved-confinement (I-mode) and that between the Type-I ELMy H-mode and the Enhanced Dα (EDA) H-mode are studied using the SepOS framework. An empirical model for particle transport in the EDA H-mode to …

Construction and operation of a Mirror Langmuir Probe diagnostic for the Alcator C-Mod tokamak
… severe transient events found in C-Mod plasmas (ELMs), which challenged the system's accuracy.

Other-race faces : limitations of expert face recognition /
Adults' expert face recognition is limited to the kinds of faces they encounter on a daily basis (typically upright human faces of the same race). Adults process own-race faces holistically (Le., as a gestalt) and are exquisitely sensitive to small differences among faces in the spacing of …

Palaeoecological studies of selected mires in the Craven District of West Yorkshire with special reference to the late Devensian period and the Ulmus decline
… by radiocarbon dating. The initial recovery of elms is dated to 4710±45 BP and the second elm decline to about 4520 BP. The possible factors contributing to the first classical elm decline and the changes in the elm curve immediately following the first decline are considered.
