USE-LESS Building
A USE-LESS Building aims to use less square feet and resources by adapting over time and by accommodating various uses like apartments, stores, offices, cafes, etc. Adhering to the USE-LESS concept, this project was developed 4 dimensionally on a site in Mount Pleasant, Washington DC. The …

Airgap-less Electric Motor
This dissertation focuses mainly on the airgap-less electric machine. An extensive literature review has been presented along with a systematic study that included analytical modeling, simulation with both steady-state and transient analysis, prototype building, and experimental validation. In this …

Doing Less Than Best
… thesis is about the moral reasons we have to do less than best. It consists of six chapters. Part I of the thesis proposes, extends, and defends reasons to do less than best. In Chapter One (“The Conditional Obligation”) I outline and reject two recent arguments from Joe Horton and Theron Pummer …

More or less exact
More or Less Exact tests the fidelity of material control by hands, by machines, and by the interaction of the two. We overlap two models of exactitude within the discipline of architecture to expose a design space at their intersection. One model, underlying Western practice since modernism, is …

Subspaces of Dual-Less Spaces
We find sufficient conditions for a sequence of random variables to have a subsequence whose linear span has a non-trivial dual in the topology of convergence in measure. In particular, we study sequences of characteristic functions. We also consider basic and semi-basic sequences in F-spaces; the …

Achieving More with Less: Learning Generalizable Neural Networks With Less Labeled Data and Computational Overheads
… learn generalizable neural networks that require less labeled data and computational resources. We demonstrate that using physics supervision in scientific problems can reduce the need for labeled data, thereby improving data efficiency without compromising model generalizability. Additionally, we …

Tourism development in less developed countries.
… and discussions are highly relevant to other less developed countries (LDCs), especially those having a background of war and/or civil turmoil. The thesis also addresses questions related to tourism as a development agent for economic growth, social rehabilitation and political development. …

Making More Cars with Less Metal
Reducing sheet metal yield losses in automotive manufacturing would reduce material demand, providing environmental and financial benefits. This thesis explores material efficiency from four perspectives: 1. The opportunity for improvement: A part by part analysis of yield losses for every sheet …

Randomized sampling and multiplier-less filtering
… method to improve the performance of multiplier-less FIR filters. Static multiplier-less filters, even when carefully designed, result in frequency distortion as compared to a desired continuous-valued filter. Replacing each static tap with a binary random process is shown to mitigate this …

Motion(less) pictures: the cinema of stasis
<p>Since cinema's inception, there has been much disagreement among film theorists about the role of movement in cinema's ontology. For example, while Rudolf Arnheim has argued that motion is a <i> sine qua non </i> of cinema, Roland Barthes has insisted that motion is not as central to cinema's …

Enhancing memory access for less-skilled readers
<p>Ericcson and Kintch (1995) suggested that less-skilled readers often have an impoverished representation of text. The results of five experiments demonstrated that the addition of causality enhanced the text representation of less-skilled readers. Experiments 1-3 showed that the addition of …

Basera Haven: Orphanage for the Less Fortunate
The project aims to establish a premier institution of primary education in Pakistan with the primary focus of reintegrating orphans into society. Currently, approximately 20 million children are out of schools in Pakistan and 4 million of those are orphans. Basera, an Urdu term for Haven will be …

Less strain, more gain_nano_patterning III-N thin films
Controlling the growth mechanism for nano-structures is one of the most critical topics in material science. In the past 10 years there has been intensive research worldwide in IIIN based nanowires for its many unique photonic and electrical properties at this scale. There are several advantages to …
