Explorations in computational tinkering
In recent years, there has been a growing interest in tools and strategies to support computational thinking, emphasizing a systematic application of computational ideas to problem solving. In this thesis, I focus instead on computational tinkering, exploring tools and strategies to support playful …

Explorations in musical tinkering
This thesis introduces the idea of "musical tinkering," exploring how to engage people in playfully creating and experimenting with their own musical instruments and compositions. I discuss the design and study of two new tools for musical tinkering, MelodyMorph and MaKey MaKey. MelodyMorph is an …

Chamber Music Explorations for Meditation
The thesis presents and examines my compositional process and creative methodology in producing three compositions for meditation purposes. The purpose was to compose three original pieces of chamber music that created a subjective musical picture that captured a mood and a depictive sound. For …

COMPOSITIONAL EXPLORATIONS OF PLASTIC SOUND
Each piece of music in this research is meant to explore a different aspect of music as a plastic art. Conclusions reached in the review of each new work were used to guide the development of the next. The notions of plasticity in sound, and sound as a plastic material were used to give the overall …

Explorations with Polycarbocyclic Cage Compounds
A variety of novel cage-functionalized pyridyl containing crown ethers have been prepared for use in selective alkali metal complexation studies. A highly preorganized, cage-functionalized cryptand also has been designed and has been synthesized for use as a selective Li+ complexant. The alkali …

Explorations of Perceived Product Efficacy
<p>Prior research has largely treated perceived product efficacy as a one-dimensional construct. This research uniquely demonstrates that perceived product efficacy is comprised of several dimensions and focuses on one previously unexplored dimension that has significant implications for …

Explorations of quantum decoherence phenomena
This thesis describes the experimental exploration of quantum decoherence using discrete and continuous-time decoherence maps. The experimental methodology uses liquid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy techniques. Initially, a brief discussion of coherent control methods is given. Then, …

Explorations of Sound Symbolism and Iconicity
Sound symbolism refers to the finding that individuals have biases to associate certain language sounds (i.e., phonemes) with certain perceptual and/or semantic features (see Lockwood & Dingemanse, 2015; Sidhu & Pexman, 2018a). An example of this is the association between the phoneme /i/ (as in …

Using diagrammatic explorations to understand code
Understanding code is a significant challenge for developers. This thesis examines the limitations of current tools that use diagrams to assist code comprehension and demonstrates the value of four design principles: * That diagrams should be based on familiar models such as UML class diagrams and …

Explorations in low-cost compliant robotics
This thesis presents the findings of exploratory research in low-cost compliant robotics. The most heavily leveraged trade-off is that of mechanical precision for computational power, with the hope that the price of future computation will continue to fall exponentially while the expected price of …

Emergent Explorations: Analog and Digital Scripting
This book documents an exploration of emergent and linear modes of defining space, form, and structure. The thesis highlights a dialog between analog and digital modeling techniques, in concept and project development. It identifies that analog modeling techniques, coupled with judgment, can be …

Soaking Sensual Nakedness: Haptic Bathhouse Explorations
How can architecture stimulate an increased haptic experience? People with sight lack the everyday immediacy of sensory awareness as compared with people with significant sight impairment. When sight is lost, the mind compensates by heightening the other senses for receiving information. In …

Local And Global Explorations Through Design Research
Abstract<br/>This doctoral thesis is a practice-led and corporate-grounded enquiry into the role of design research methods in a global technology company. The work aims to understand and communicate through a series of case studies how locally conducted participatory action research can be …

EXPLORATIONS IN QUANTUM GRAVITY AND CONFORMAL BOOTSTRAP
In this thesis, I apply numerical and analytical bootstrap techniques for a better understanding of quantum gravity. Each chapter is separated by subject. Chapter two is about a proof of the averaged null energy condition (ANEC) in flat spacetime for relativistic quantum field theories in more than …

ITALIAN PIONEERS: Colonial propaganda and geographic explorations
Scholarship in the field of Italian geographic explorations has mainly focused on expeditions that took place before fascism. This thesis analyses the relationship between fascism and geographic explorations, through a biographical reconstruction of three great figures of explorers who were active …
