Perceptions and experiences of midwives regarding the use of the labour care guide at two state hospitals in Khomas region, Namibia
The Labour Care Guide (LCG) is a new tool for monitoring labour, introduced to replace the partograph, which had been used improperly and inconsistently across various contexts. Early research suggests that healthcare practitioners view the LCG as a tool that enhances the quality of care during …

Advancements of Stepped Planing Hulls
… at two different Longitudinal Center of Gravity (LCG) locations. Of all the configurations tested, the stepped hull configurations showed reduced resistance compared to the unstepped hull. The configurations with the largest step height aft showed the least amount of resistance over the speed …

A Statistical Evaluation of Algorithms for Independently Seeding Pseudo-Random Number Generators of Type Multiplicative Congruential (Lehmer-Class).
… a linear congruential random number generator (LCG) should produce values that are (a) uniformly distributed on the unit interval (0,1) excluding endpoints and (b) substantially free of serial correlation. It has been found that many statistical methods produce inflated Type I error rates for …

Drawing Participation: Histories of Geospatial Computing, Professional Silos, and Computational Potentials for Collaboration in Planning and Design
… tools at the Laboratory of Computer Graphics (LCG) at Harvard, and the subsequent development of GCS programs at private institutions. I begin by exploring the different ways in which drawing enabled GCS to become computational. I present the early encounters between drawing and computers at …

Slamming of High-Speed Craft: A Machine Learning and Parametric Study of Slamming Events
… to be evaluated include hull flexural rigidity, LCG location, heave and surge velocity, and impact trim, angular velocity and acceleration. In preparation for this parametric study, an innovative experimental setup was designed to simulate the impact of a deep-vee planing hull into waves, through …

Model testing and computational analysis of a high speed planing hull with cambered planing surface and surface piercing hydrofoils
… and the model longitudinal center of gravity (LCG). In this thesis, data from the series of tests of Model 5631D will be compared to that of the tests of Model 5631 by combining methods from Savitsky [15] and Faltinsen [8] for data scaling of planing vessels. Both models were scaled to the same …

Implementation of a model independent search for new physics with the CMS detector exploiting the world-wide LHC computing grid
With this year's start of CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) it will be possible for the first time to directly probe the physics at the TeV-scale at a collider experiment. At this scale the Standard Model of particle physics will reach its limits and new physical phenomena are expected to appear. …
