Postmodern Alienation: Projecting Worlds/Feigning Subjects
… but also redefine subjectivity by projecting a world and then constituting the subject in relation to their own projections--a postmodern vision with its own ontological, and often metaphysical, configurations. Thus, I trace the projected worlds of several canonical theorists: …

Embedded autonomies projecting an American middle-Class polis
What possible response to the last forty years of depressed wages can the American middle-class have? Along with long established tactics on the consumption side of the production equation -- namely collective housing and collective purchasing -- a new form of economic autonomy is emerging from …

Projecting the uncanny : the intersection of visuality and architecture
This thesis explores architectural drawings and representations appropriate to describe forms and spaces in zero and artificial gravity. Its focus is on the physical forces associated with life and motion in a rotating environment and the formal and geometric architectural response to those forces. …

Projecting Planning-Related Climate Impact Drivers for Appalachian Public Health Support
Climate change is impacting the intensity, duration, and frequency of climatic events. With climate change comes a multitude of adverse conditions, including extreme heat events, changes in disease patterns, and increased likelihood and frequency of natural disasters, including in places previously …

Projecting new money requests for the Baltimore Federal Intermediate Credit Bank
A short term forecast model is developed for use by the Baltimore FICB in estimating their new money requests two months in advance. New money requests are the difference between new loans made and paydown. New money requests were forecasted by estimating two separate equations, one for new loans …

Projecting Ireland : the historical consciousness of Irish film in the 1990's
In the following dissertation, I have undertaken to explore the very wide-ranging yet largely unexplored territory of Irish cinema. I have confined my study to the 1990s (other than a brief overview of the Irish film industry in my Introduction) in an attempt to express the revolutionary global …

Projecting fertility by educational attainment: proof of concept of a new approach
… incorporates education composition change in projecting fertility. We investigate fertility differentials by level of education, then evaluate how education influences fertility independently; and finally, a model is fitted to project fertility rates by education levels. In both cases, the …

Postsecondary Enrollment Demand-Gap Estimation Model: Projecting the Postsecondary Demand-Gap for California by 2035
<p>The postsecondary education system in California has been under the pressure of expansion by the means of opening a new campus for several years. The Legislative Analyst’s Office has been recommending whether to open new campus or not as a part of its mandate. In 1990, it recommended opening up …

Investigating the influence of LH-projecting BLA neurons upon motivated behavioral responding and appetitive learning
… in mice, I have investigated the influence of LH-projecting BLA neurons upon motivated behavioral responding, which has indicated that the projection may support intracranial self-stimulation (ICSS). Further experiments with in vivo extracellular electrophysiological recordings from LH-projecting …

"The projecting species": Reading Swift's critique of the scientific project in Book 3 of "Gulliver's Travels"
Book 3 of Jonathan Swift's Travels into the Remote Nations of the World offers a thorough critique of the eighteenth-century scientific world--a world marked by systematization, theoretical speculation, stories of "progress," and innovation, which people have commonly embraced and into which the …

Projecting land use changes using parcel-level data : model development and application to Hunterdon County, New Jersey
This dissertation is to develop a parcel-based spatial land use change prediction model by coupling various machine learning and interpretation algorithms such as cellular automata (CA) and decision tree (DT). CA is a collection of cells that evolves through a number of discrete time steps …

Projecting corpland rental rate and asset values : using a hybrid of past approaches to harvest new estimates
The net worth of farming operations has been boosted by increases in cropland values, but lower crop prices mean many are concerned that cropland prices could fall again. This thesis develops an economic model that can be used to project farmland values, cropland rental rates and other variables …

Bending the ICT curve: Evaluating options to achieve 2030 sector-wide climate goals & projecting new technology impacts
The global impact of the information and communications technology (ICT) sector is both growing and changing as computing technologies continue to develop and industry leaders make more efforts towards emissions reductions. Recent work highlights the increasing importance of manufacturing emissions …

Projecting agroforestry adoption and agroforestry water quality trading in the headwaters of the Chesapeake Bay, Virginia, USA
Agricultural nonpoint source nutrient pollution is the leading cause of water quality impairment in the Chesapeake Bay. Agroforestry, the integration of trees with crops or livestock production, or both, achieves production and conservation objectives on a single plot of land. Agroforestry is …

Projecting Future Local Hydroclimatology: A Framework for Local Water Resource Planners in the Animas River Basin at Durango, Colorado
Spring snowmelt provides up to 50-80% annual streamflow for much of the western US. However, increasing temperatures and decreasing precipitation have begun to affect the timing and magnitude of this process. This could begin to have serious implications for the region's water resources. Predicting …

Neurons projecting to the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus are activated and contribute to cardiorespiratory responses to systemic acute hypoxia
… are. In Study 1 and 2, we found that PVN-projecting neurons are activated by hypoxia and a large percentage of them are catecholaminergic (approximately 73% of PVN-projecting nTS and 89% of PVN-projecting CVLM neurons activated by hypoxia are catecholaminergic. In Study 3, we evaluated the …
