Geometric Properties of the Ferrand Metric
We investigate the differentiability of the Ferrand metric-density and find a sufficient condition that implies that the Ferrand metric-density is not differentiable and that the Ferrand Gaussian curvature is negative infinity at a point. We prove that a closed Euclidean ball, closed half-space, or …

A Variation on a Theme of Vasconcelos
In 1967, Vasconcelos and Ferrand independently demonstrated that an ideal I in a Noetherian local ring R is generated by a regular sequence if and only if I/ I2 is free over R/I and pdRI < infinity. In this thesis, we prove that a radical ideal I in an excellent local normal domain is generated by …

Manufacturability and Analysis of Topologically Optimized Continuous Fiber Reinforced Composites
<p>Researchers are unlocking the potential of Continuous Fiber Reinforced Composites for producing components with greater strength-to-weight ratios than state of the art metal alloys and unidirectional composites. The key is the emerging technology of topology optimization and advances in additive …

Layer by Layer, Nano-particle "Only" Surface Modification of Filtration Membranes
Layer by Layer (LbL) deposition using primarily inorganic silica nanoparticles is employed for the modification of polymeric micro and ultrafiltration (MF/UF) membranes to produce thin film composites (TFC) with potential nanofiltration (NF) and reverse osmosis (RO) capabilities.. A variety of …

Emerging visualization techniques to support public participation in urban mass transit planning context
With the post-modern turn in planning theory, the public's input is now required in a wider variety of areas. Nevertheless, the discourse about planning has remained too technically oriented, depriving the general public from a real understanding of the issues at stake. The development of …

Linking ecological divergence and reproductive isolation: a tale of two killifish
… 2005; Kirkpatrick and Barton 2006; Carneiro, Ferrand et al. 2009). I created linkage maps for both L. goodei and L. parva and analyzed them for synteny to determine if genomic rearrangements had occurred (Chapter 5). A fusion between linkage groups 13 and 14 in L. goodei has led to a large …
