Against against affect (again) : æffect in Kenneth Goldsmith's Seven American deaths and disasters
… in relation to affect, before turning to Sianne Ngai's Ugly Feelings and her concept of “stuplimity.” Stuplimity is an often ignored and not easily articulated affect that arises from boredom and repetition. Stuplimity is critical for Seven American Deaths and Disasters, especially for the “open …

Investigation of the Wood/Phenol-Formaldehyde Adhesive Interphase Morphology
… that the cooperativity analysis according to the Ngai coupling model of relaxation successfully applies to the in-situ lignin glass transition of yellow-poplar and spruce woods. No significant difference in intermolecular coupling is detected between the two woods. It is then demonstrated that …

Thickening Theory: Memoir, Affect, and Fat Feminist Futures
… of Hil Malatino on "side affects" (2022), Sianne Ngai's "ugly feelings" (2005), Rosemarie Garland-Thomson's "misfitting" (2011), and Sara Ahmed's (2006; 2010) work on orientations and affect, this project aims to strengthen fat epistemology and contribute to a fattening of feminist studies which …

Exploring Relationships among Chopstick Use in Preschool Years and Writing and Math Development in Elementary Years
This study investigates the relationship between preschool chopstick use and early elementary academic achievement in writing and math. Building upon prior research linking chopstick usage to enhanced fine motor skills and brain activity, the study examined whether early exposure to chopsticks …

The Role of the Discoidin Domain Receptor-1 (DDR1) in Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell (VSMC) Mechanosensing
Mechanotransduction is the process by which extracellular physical cues are converted into intracellular biochemical responses. The stiffness of the matrix influences numerous processes such as cell differentiation, cell migration, fibrosis, and tumorigenesis. Stiffness is sensed by matrix-binding …

Implementation of a force-reflecting telerobotic system with magnetically levitated master and wrist
Aspects of control and coordination of a new force-reflecting teleoperation system have been addressed in this thesis. A six-degree-of-freedom magnetically levitated fine-motion device is used as the teleoperation master. The slave system is a redundant coarse-fine manipulator system which consists …

Testing of delay-insensitive circuits using protocol extraction strategies
Delay-insensitive (DI) circuits are asynchronous circuits whose functional correctness is independent of the delays in their components and the interconnecting wires. The environment and circuit module follows a specified usage protocol, sometimes called handshake signals. It has been believed that …

Measurement of neutrino mixing angle Θ13 in the Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment
Neutrino oscillations have been observed in experiments measuring solar, atmospheric, accelerator and reactor neutrinos. The phenomenon can be described by three mixing angles and three phases. The values of two mixing angles $\theta_{12}$ and $\theta_{23}$ have been pinned down while the value of …

Park and chill : redesign parking garage in Hong Kong
What are the aesthetics of urban infrastructure? Urban infrastructure has remained isolated to human activities. We all share memory and experience with urban infrastructure, e.g. we drive on the same roads and park our cars in the same parking garage every day. Urban infrastructure are not …

Crack coalescence in molded gypsum and Carrara marble
This thesis investigates the fracturing and coalescence behavior in prismatic laboratory molded gypsum and Carrara marble specimens, which consist of either one or two preexisting open flaws, under uniaxial compression. In previous experimental studies, the determination of crack types …

Patterns of Moments Reasoning about Space Video via Pattern Language of Human Behavior by Extracting MultiAction Activities via Machine Learning Video
Architecture shapes our perception of space through scale, material, shape, and structure. The design of these elements convinces us of certain behaviors within and around the space, and it plays a significant role in our everyday lives. Experience oriented spatial design provides support for …

Three essays in operations management
The thesis applies optimization theory to three problems in operations management. In the first part of the thesis, we investigate the impact of inventory control on the availability of drugs to patients at public health facilities in Zambia. We present consistent empirical data and simulation …
