Swelling behaviour of unsaturated expansive clays
… predicting the swelling behaviour of unsaturated expansive clays:<br/>(i) simplified empirical relationships for rapidly identifying swelling soils and<br/>(ii) a more accurate prediction method suitable for design purposes and based upon experimentally measured swell moduli.<br/>The work was …

Expansive and collapsing behaviour of volume change soils
… - to introduce the reader to soils exhibiting expansive and/or collapsing behaviour; Goal Two - to provide an in depth understanding of aspects of this behaviour, obtained from an extensive study of these soil types; and, Goal Three - to serve as a reference for future research work (a …

Precise and expansive genomic positioning for CRISPR edits
The recent harnessing of microbial adaptive immune systems, known as CRISPR, has enabled genome-wide engineering across all domains of life. A new generation of gene-editing tools has been fashioned from the natural DNA/RNA-targeting ability of certain CRISPR-associated (Cas) proteins and their …

Swelling, shrinkage and shear strength of unsaturated expansive clays
… and shear strength properties of unsaturated expansive clays are examined in this thesis. This research was instigated to provide the engineer with improved techniques for predicting the swelling behaviour encountered in unsaturated expansive clays. To achieve this objective, a double-walled …

EXPANSIVE MODERNISM: FEMALE EDITORS, LITTLE MAGAZINES, AND NEW BOOK HISTORIES
The resurgence of modern periodical studies has expanded our understanding of “littleqrdquo; magazines and the editors behind them, but many studies continue to be restricted to the 1920s, examine male editors, and focus on well–established literary journals, rather than the subversive …

Soil suction and swell behavior of chemically treated expansive clays
<p>"Expansive clay soils have caused significant damage throughout the world. Chemical stabilizing agents have been used to reduce the swelling potential of expansive clay soils. However, how chemically treating soils affects the matric and osmotic suction of soils has not been investigated. …

Expansive mineral growth and concrete deterioration: a microstructural and microanalytical study
… phase of study, it was evidenced that two major expansive minerals, ettringite and brucite, were responsible for premature deterioration. Severe expansion cracking of cement paste was often associated with ettringite locations, and strongly suggests that secondary ettringite was a major cause. …

Quantifying Properties and Variability of Expansive Soils in Selected Map Units
A study of 12 expansive soils in four major physiographic provinces in Virginia was initiated to examine and quantify the relationship between shrink-swell potential, shrink-swell indices, and soil properties. The mineralogy classes, soil series, and (physiographic provinces, parent materials) …

Housing Insecurity and Suicidal Behavior Among Transgender and Gender-Expansive Young Adults
<p>Transgender and gender-expansive people (collectively referred to here as trans) attempt suicide and experience homelessness at much higher-than-average national rates, signaling the need for culturally responsive support. Strikingly, over 50% of trans people with experiences of homelessness …

Numerical modeling, characterization and monitoring of the seasonal behavior of expansive clays
… associated with the swelling and shrinking of expansive clays represent a major cause of damage to buildings, roads, and pipelines. The processes that give rise to these movements involve complex ground-atmosphere interactions (due to combined effects of infiltration and evaporation), combined …

NETWORKS OF GROUP EQUIVARIANT NON-EXPANSIVE OPERATORS FOR ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. MODELS, APPLICATIONS AND INTERPRETABILITY.
… the mathematical theory of Group Equivariant Non-Expansive Operators (GENEOs) has all the credentials to be at the base of a new generation of ML models with desirable geometric properties. This thesis aims to support this claim by investigating GENEO networks from both an application and …

Detection of expansive soils using remote sensing in Brits North-West Province South Africa
Expansive soils generally pose a significant geological hazard, which causes damage to civil infrastructure that could amount to billions of rand every year. Traditionally, expansive soils have been mapped and characterized using methods such as X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and standard engineering …

Expansive Hybridity: Multilingual and Visual Poetics in Contemporary Experimental Asian American and Pacific Islander Poetry
… argues that their poetry demonstrates an expansive hybridity in which multilingual and mixed-media practices serve as the very means by which they negotiate the fraught conditions of migration, colonization, geopolitics, and marginalization.
