Material Differences in Equine Cortical and Trabecular Bone
<p>A greater understanding of bone materials would be beneficial in creating more accurate computer models and in the making of biomedical products involving bone. This study set out to determine whether cortical and trabecular bone are two separate materials, or whether they are the same material …

Moving Social Spaces: Public Transportation, Material Differences, and the Power of Mobile Communities in Chicago
… these systems. In particular, I show 1) how the materiality of mobile spaces, and their placement in different parts of cities, shapes disparate public transit experiences across different groups; 2) how social interactions and behaviors on these mobile spaces reflect Chicago's racial social …

Lietuvos ir Jungtinės Karalystės teisės aktų, reglamentuojančių darbuotojų drausminę atsakomybę, lyginamoji analizė /
… but also on the practice of the courts and the material of labour law specialists concerning the disciplinary liability are scrutinized. The comparative analysis of the acts, regulating employees‘ disciplinary liability in Lithuania and in the United Kingdom, shows material differences of the …

Monolithic heteroepitaxial integration of III-V semiconductor lasers on Si substrates
… has to date been limited to date by the large material differences between silicon (Si) and the direct-bandgap GaAs compounds from which optoelectronic components are fabricated. Graded Ge/GeSi buffer layers grown on standard Si substrates have been shown to produce near-lattice matched virtual …

Taxonomy, genesis, and parent material distribution of high- elevation forest soils in the southern Appalachians
… between soils in these areas despite widespread differences in parent material and local geology. This similarity is the result of physical mixing of these soils by climatically-driven slope processes. A considerable amount of chemical variability exists in these soils which is not expressed in …

Interpreting conflict mortuary behaviour: applying non-linear and traditional quantitative methods to conflict burials
… I developed to facilitate the identification of material differences in burials that will help in understanding burial circumstances (e.g., whether a death occurred in direct conflict on the battlefield, as a direct consequence of battlefield injuries or other trauma, or as an execution, or was …

Evaluation of Stress and Fatigue in Femoral Hip Implants
… Within this study theoretical calculations and material fatigue testing were used to validate the FEA. Fatigue life was also calculated and compared to laboratory fatigue testing.</p> <p>Theoretical calculations accurately validated the FEA within an error of 1.2%. Strain gauging validation was …

The Material Construction of Identity in Sparta and Lakonia (750–480 BCE)
… of Spartan and Lakonian identity through material culture from 750–480 BCE. To resolve the lingering shadow of the mirage Spartiate, an image of Sparta constructed through a retrojection of later sources onto the Archaic period, I turn my attention in this thesis to the evidence that can …

Modelling waves and near-shore circulation around the Cape Peninsula: towards enhanced predictions for South African coastal activities
… wave-coupling demonstrated that the gyre causes material differences in virtual drift trajectories and affects the monthly mean general circulation. This highlights its potential impact on coastal users and its implications for understanding Table Bay's circulation, where the importance of waves …

Template-based control for bottom-up nanostructures - multilayer block copolymer graphoepitaxy and masked ZnO nanowire growth
… block copolymers (BCPs). Despite material differences, we highlight their analogous nature by applying similar engineering principles to both - structure and spatial design, systematic energy manipulation, and process-specific functionality. These engineering principles were …

Scalar Politics: Sustainability planning under Localism and the delivery of London's Olympic legacy
… policy of Localism, we are able to reveal the material differences between sustainable development agendas which have been criticised for masking over conflict in a post-political manner for the continuation of ‘status quo’ economic development trajectories.

Fundamental Investigations of Hazardous Gas Uptake and Binding in Metal-Organic Frameworks and Polyurethane Films
The advancements of chemists, engineers, and material scientists has yielded an enormous and diverse library of high-performance materials with varying chemical and physical properties that can be used in a wide array of applications. A molecular-level understanding of the nature of gas–surface …

Evaluation of a data-driven primary sedimentation tank model using settleometer data
… This could be the result of particulate material differences between the SVGs. Nonetheless, the average BPO and UPO compositions recorded in terms of CXHYOZNAPB are C1H5.99O1.13N0.05P0.00 and C1H1.79O0.45N0.22P0.02, respectively. The subscript “Y” (i.e., 5.99) of the BPO composition …
