Spark Gap
"Spark Gap" is an invisible electrical force made visible in spaces between things. This usually describes the space of air between two conductors; a non-conductive gap in an otherwise complete electric circuit, across which a quick luminous disruptive electrical discharge occurs. This interstitial …

Between the Gap
… or planes. A reveal can also be thought of as a gap. Webster's dictionary defines a gap as "an opening made by breaking or parting." Often the word "gap" is associated with a deficiency or failure, but a gap similar to a reveal, can be intentional and essential to the success of a building. The …

Bridging the gap
The urban realm is a collage of ruin, artifact, and modern invention. Whole pieces and fragments linger untouched or prosthetized onto new constructions, creating a landscape of monsters. These creatures, beautiful or grotesque, metamorphose through time. The tendons that tie these body parts …

Bridging the gap: Biomechanics of vertical gap-crossing in snakes and cicadas
… on limbless animal's abilities to cross vertical gaps between branches remains relatively understudied. Despite perch diameter's known influence on an animal's ability to prevent toppling, no study has recorded how this influence translates to its influence on vertical gap crossing ability for …

Gap dependencies in coordination
The goal of this thesis is to analyze extractions out of coordinate structures without positing principles specific to coordination. I show that A$\sp\prime$-movement in coordination is reducible to a version of the conjunctive Empty Category Principle (ECP), while NP-movement and Head movement are …

Planar groove gap waveguides
… structure referred to as the Planar Groove Gap Waveguide (PGGWG). The new structure has similar modal characteristics to air-filled machined Groove Gap Waveguide (GGWG), but in a low-cost fabrication technology that is readily integrated with surface mount components. The structure provides …

Bridging the Gap: Addiction Recovery
This thesis explores the mental, physical, and emotional healing benefits of nature and the built environment to oneself. Strategically located across from downtown Wilmington, North Carolina, along the Cape Fear River, the site serves as a social and active place that promotes engagement with the …

Gap Waveguide Array Element Filters
… of devices operating at the frequency range. Gap waveguides are a type of waveguide implemented in a periodic metamaterial that offer several critical advantages over standard waveguides, especially with regards to manufacturability. This research provides the design and analysis of three gap …

Distance Sets and Gap Lemma
Many problems in geometric measure theory are centered around finding conditions and structures on a set to guarantee that its distance set must be large. Two notions of structure that are of importance in this work are Hausdorff dimension and thickness. Recent progress has been made on …

Postsecondary Enrollment Demand-Gap Estimation Model: Projecting the Postsecondary Demand-Gap for California by 2035
… white papers hint toward a huge skilled labor gap in California’s labor market. Moreover, these future projections are based on data sourced from Department of Finance’s projections, which is perhaps not considering anticipated success of the policy initiated toward improving student outcomes …

On-chip silicon based photonic structures : photonic band gap and quasi-photonic band gap materials
… silicon based photonic structures, photonic band gap (PBG) and quasi-photonic band gap (QPX) structures, which are based on high refractive index contrast dielectric layers and CMOS compatibility. We developed a new type of silicon waveguide - Photonic Crystal (PC) cladding waveguide is studied …

NARROWING THE GAP: EXPLORING THE CHARACTERISTICS AND PRACTICES OF URBAN SCHOOL PRINCIPALS CLOSING THE ACHIEVEMENT GAP
… work to close the African American achievement gap. The achievement gap begins in elementary school and continues to persist throughout elementary and secondary schools producing differences in high school graduation rates, college and career attainment, and ultimately socio-economic differences …

When They Have Opened a Gap
The concept of provider medical conscientious objection is a controversial one that can stir a great deal of emotion. Provider medical conscientious objection involves the refusal by an individual, hospital, pharmacy, managed care organization, or other health industry worker to provide, be …

The gender diversity gap in mathematics
This paper documents gender gaps in mathematics performance and confidence among Chilean 10th graders, providing new evidence on transgender and non-binary students using longitudinal data that follows students from 4th to 10th grade. Using rich administrative data, we estimate within-school models …

Bridging the Gap in Physics Education
Over the past few years there has been a growing interest in the possible benefits of computer simulations in physics education. However, very little research has been conducted on how computer simulations can actually be integrated into a physics program (Zacharia & Anderson, 2003). This research …
