Focusing the Senses
This thesis studies increasing awareness of the connectedness of the body to architecture. The objective is to explore and investigate the levels of attention required by each sense to summon the corporeal nature of the observers, to call us to a quietness of mind, transcending our western pace and …

Focusing on Modular Refinement Typing
… for modular recursive index refinements. We use focusing to design logically a call-by-push-value (CBPV) with algebraic datatypes. CBPV is a language known empirically to have good semantic properties even in the presence of computational effects like nontermination and errors. Bidirectional type …

Mobile Application Focusing on Diabetes
Our thesis project is a joint effort between 2 team members. The thesis focuses on developing a diabetes application that aims to support self-management and education for patients with diabetes. This application has many functions, which provide a diet plan, exercise, and the risk the user has of …

Mathematical theory of isoelectric focusing.
… describing transient processes in isoelectric focusing (IEF) of M biprotic ampholytes is proposed. The problem consists of nonlinear partial differential equations and algebraic equations under nonlinear boundary conditions. Different models of IEF have been studied. For each model problem, we …

Micro free-flow isoelectric focusing
… assay sensitivity. Rapid free flow isoelectric focusing (FF-IEF) is achieved in a microfluidic device by isolating the electrodes from the focusing region with porous buffer regions. Moving the electrodes enables the use of large electric fields without the detrimental effects of bubble …

Applications and Advancements of Dynamic Isoelectric Focusing
… the capabilities of DIEF. Dynamic isoelectric focusing (DIEF) is a separation technique invented by Dr. Luke Tolley. It is similar to capillary isoelectric focusing except it uses four high voltage electrodes to form a pH gradient instead of only two. The additional two electrodes are able to …

Focusing on the Good Versus Focusing on the Bad: An Analysis of East -West Differences in Subjective Well-Being
Research on subjective well-being has often found that individuals sharing an Eastern cultural heritage (East Asians and Asian Americans) report lower levels of positive affect and life satisfaction than those from a Western cultural background (Europeans and North Americans). In three studies, …

The focusing-oriented approach applied to couple therapy
… no discussion in the literature of how the focusing-oriented approach can be used in couple therapy, probably because most focusing-oriented therapists remain individual counsellors. The present research is a contribution to bringing the focusing-oriented approach into couple therapy, but is …

An exploration of Focusing-oriented Therapy for Addictions
… to provide the first systematic explication of focusing-oriented therapy for clients with addiction. It begins with basic principles from the Philosophy of the Implicit – experience, interaction, focaling and carrying forward - outlining their significance in psychopathology and therapy. General …

Focusing Light Inside Scattering Media with Optical Phase Conjugation
… makes the media look opaque and prevents us from focusing light beyond ~1 mm deep inside the media to achieve optical imaging and manipulation. Hence, the ability to focus light deep inside scattering media is highly desired, and it could revolutionize biophotonics by enabling deep-tissue …

Electric Field Gradient Focusing-UV Detection for Protein Analysis
<p>Electric field gradient focusing (EFGF) utilizes a hydrodynamic flow and an electric field gradient to focus and concentrate charged analytes and order them in a separation channel according to electrophoretic mobility. Elution can be achieved by decreasing the applied voltage or increasing the …
