Mechanisms Involved in Human Thermogenesis
Energy expenditure in humans is partially understood. Sympathetic drive is an important stimulator of brown-adipose tissue-mediated increases in energy expenditure, and it is known that leptin-mediated pathways in part contribute to this. This thesis has sought to understand human energy …

Meso : a virtual musculature for humanoid motor control
Humanoid behavior requires a system with access to humanoid variables. Our humanoid robot, Cog, has two arms that are structurally similar to those of humans; however, the sensory system only provides a sense of strain and position. This thesis describes a model of the human energy metabolism that …

Understanding the active sites and reaction mechanism of water oxidation on metal oxides
Solar energy irradiating the Earth's surface exceeds human energy consumption by four orders of magnitude and the key to alleviating the global energy crisis lies in efficiently harnessing it. An ideal means of storing surplus energy from solar is to convert it to hydrogen using proton exchange …

The effects of uncompensated-telework on work withdrawal and personal initiative via energy: the moderating role of fairness
… withdrawal and personal initiative; and whether human energy mediates these linkages. I argue that when employees perceive uncompensated-telework is unfair, they will subsequently report losing energy when using ICTs to work outside of the work domain. Furthermore, these perceptions of energy …

A metabolic profiling approach to human disorders of energy metabolism
… and dysfunction in parts of this network causes human disease - both rare, inherited disorders and common diseases such as diabetes mellitus. The study of metabolic disease depends upon quantitative methods which are traditionally custom-tailored to a given compound. Recent advances in …

The potential for alternative technology to supply the energy needs of the rural population of South Africa
… aimed at evaluating the potential of alternative energy devices to satisfy the energy requirements of the underdeveloped rural regions of South Africa. A literature survey of the energy requirements of the inhabitants of such regions is first undertaken. Thereafter energy conversion devices using …

On the deformation of human skin for mechanical counter pressure space suit development
… bulky and stiff to operate or require unnatural human motion. Development of mechanical counter pressure (MCP) space suits can change the current space suit design paradigm. The primary goal of this thesis is to develop methodology to quantify strain and deformation of human skin to inform how to …

The Collapse of Time, Home, and Relationships: A Critical Approach to the Holocaust Short Story
… chapters of my work deal with the collapse of human relationships, the collapse of the home and the dying of time in the monotony and angst of surrounding death chambers. All of a sudden, man loses an identity and becomes an anti-man who lives in an anti-world. The image for that anti-man gains …

Dyspnea: Effect of Auricular Acupressure in End Stage Lung Cancer Patients, a Pilot Feasibility Study
… management strategies, and symptom outcomes. The Human Energy Field Theory provided context for using auricular acupressure. Aim: Conduct a pilot study evaluating feasibility and effects of auricular acupressure on dyspnea. Hypotheses: auricular-acupressure seed adhesive use on appropriate points …
