Progressive consumption : strategic sustainable excess
Trends in the marketplace show that urban dwellers are increasingly supporting locally produced foods. This thesis argues for an architecture that responds to our cultures consumptive behaviors. Addressing the effects of consumption in the contemporary urban environment and ultimately developing an …

EXCESS NOISE STUDIES ON AVALANCHE PHOTODIODES
… the 1/f behavior extending up to -2 kHz. The excess noise in the flat-band region was investigated for all three APDs to determine the excess noise factor, F, as a function of temperature and wavelength. The ratio of the electron-to-hole ionization coefficients, k, was determined from the …

The excess smoothness puzzle in consumption
<p>This paper discusses the "excess smoothness" puzzle which means that permanent income is more volatile than consumption. There have been two major explanations of this puzzle. One is that the existence of excess sensitivity spreads the effect of a permanent income innovation over multiple …

Shakespeare and the cinema of excess
This dissertation examines the notion of excess in film adaptations of Shakespeare's plays. It takes its critical approach from the work of Georges Bataille, who used "eroticism" to describe a confrontation with excess that destabilises the individual’s sense of identity. Bataille suggests that art …

Excess Heat Reuse in Icelandic Data Centers
This thesis investigates the potential for excess heat reuse from the atNorth ICE02 data center campus in Reykjanesbær, Iceland. The study focuses on quantifying the magnitude, temperature level, and variability of the available heat resource, as well as evaluating its technical and economic …

Responses of Rumen Microbes to Excess Carbohydrate
Some species of rumen microbes respond to excess carbohydrate by synthesizing reserve carbohydrate, but others respond by spilling energy (producing heat alone). The response of mixed cultures of species, however, has not been directly studied, and elucidating the response was the focus of the …

Managerial Risk-Taking and CEO Excess Compensation
This paper examines risk taking and CEO excess compensation problems in U.S firms to determine their impact on shareholders wealth. Literature suggests a positive effect of CEO incentive risk and strong corporate governance on CEO risk taking. Furthermore, the strong governance mitigates excess …

Inhabiting the Cloud : architectural excess to surplus
… promenade inhabits the building and captures the excess heat, winding upward and comprising itself with programs of leisure and surplus that are literally defined by their heat as a physical collection of biomes from around the world. The biomes become a sublime gathering of exotic fauna from as …

Investigating Excess Returns in Emerging Market Exchange Rates
e han establecido tres estrategias en el mercado de divisas: carry, momentum y value. Históricamente, estas estrategias han generado retornos anormales, lo cual contrasta con la teoría financiera. La paridad de interés descubierta (UIP, por sus siglas en inglés)postula que una tasa de interés más …

Dark Matter Annihilation and the Observed Positron Excess
… the expected background signal; this positron excess may point toward a primary source of positrons that could be explained by dark matter annihilations. Utilizing DarkSUSY to generate supersymmetric models in which the neutralino is the dark matter, we find that no models generated in this …

Excess Volume and Exsolution in Pyrope-Grossular Garnet
… on this join show regular asymmetric positive excess volumes, but roughly 2-3 times bigger than previous reports from garnet hydrothermally synthesized in piston cylinder apparatus. The binary Margules equation used to fit this excess volume data gives parameters 𝑊_𝘝𝘨𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘴𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘳 = 2.0±0.1 cm³/mol, …

The global cardiovascular burden of excess salt intake
Despite adverse impact of excess salt intake on population health, reliable global salt intake data were not available, with limitations of coverage, time era, representativeness, comparability and potential heterogeneity by age and sex. The overall purpose of the work presented in this thesis was …

Biological excess phosphorus removal in activated sludge systems
… in South Africa that accomplish biological excess phosphorus (P) removal, the UCT and modified Bardenpho systems. To predict the P removal in these systems, an empirical model had been developed. In the empirical model, P removal was formulated in terms of some of the system parameters, such …

Reclaiming the estranged : imagining an architecture of excess
A consumer's contact with plastic is typically a brief affair, while plastic's intimacy with the earth is immortal. Our initial fondness fades into estrangement much like a tragic love story. We essentially ghost our waste by disassociating from it entirely. We force it beyond our immediate cone of …

Fundamentals of Excess Electron Transport in Biologically Relevant Systems
… of local sequence on thymine dimer accumulation. Excess electron transport in DNA is also important in modulating the overall accumulation of thymine dimers. The parameters affecting excess electron transport were investigated with a model system based on electron transfer from an aromatic amine …

METAL TRAFFICKING DURING LIMITATION AND EXCESS IN BACILLUS SUBTILIS
… control gene expression to combat limitation and excess. Genes involved in responding to zinc excess are under the transcriptional control of CzrA, while genes involved in responding to zinc limitation are under the control of Zur. Zur derepresses genes in three distinct waves, one of which allows …

Large groups of quasars in an ultraviolet-excess survey
… spectroscopic redshift survey of ultravioletexcess quasar candidates. The main objectives of the survey are the construction of a large, homogeneous catalogue of quasars with redshifts 0.4 < z < 2.2, and the use of the catalogue to investigate the large-scale structure of the early Universe, …

Manganese utilization as affected by excess calcium and phosphorus
… were undertaken to evaluate the effect of excess Ca and P on Mn utilization. Chick bioassays were conducted to assess the effects of various sources and varying levels and combinations of excess dietary Ca and P on Mn bioavailability. The regression of total tibia Mn on supplemental Mn …
