Beyond Topography: Remapping Appalachia
The field of architecture has been operating under a false sense that we only construct things. Robin Evans might be right that architects make drawings, not buildings, but through these drawings, we’re also moving mountains. The geography of Appalachia has become collateral damage in …

Remapping territorial faultlines: Conflicts between separatist groups and host states
Contemporary military conflicts are not likely to occur between states but rather within states. Recent examples, such as the ongoing Chechen-Russian war, Kosovar resistance to Serbian ethnic-cleansing, Mayan (Zapatistas) autonomy claims in Mexico, and the Ogoni struggle for land control in Nigeria …

Remapping Songdo: A genealogy of a smart city in South Korea
This dissertation addresses the relationship between history, culture, technology, and urban governance in South Korea. It focuses on the technologies and techniques of making and governing a smart city and argues that they have been shaped by the long-term concerns for security, future, …

Remapping the U.S. "Southwest": Early Mexican American Literature and the Production of Transnational Counterspaces, 1885-1958
This dissertation brings to light a legacy of Mexican American spatial resilience that troubles Anglo-centric constructions of the Southwest, its history, and cultural formation as a byproduct of westward expansionism. This project argues that early Mexican American writers offer an alternative …

Quantifying the Impact of Remapping Floodplains on Residential Property Values in Snohomish County, Washington: A Hedonic Approach
… Nation’s FIRMS. Therefore, Congress has approved remapping programs to update these FIRMs ensuring that current flood risks are known. This remapping presents another issue, specifically for properties that are remapped into a flood zone. Current literature suggests that properties within flood …

Cinematic Remapping of the Taiwanese Sense of Self: On the Transitions in Treatments of History and Memory from "The Taiwanese Experience" to "The Taipei Experience"
<p>This thesis, with the particular focus on Taiwanese films set in Taipei, investigates how the Taiwanese cinema, through its diverse treatments of history and memory, enacts its role as a cinematic interpretation of the envisioning of Taiwanese national identity within the transnational …

A Rodent Animal Model for Forelimb to Lower Jaw Reorganization in Primary Somatosensory Cortex (SI) Barrel Field
… and this phenomenon has been termed hand-to-face remapping. We sought to develop a rodent model of deafferentation; our model system is the rat SI cortex barrel field present at the cortical layer IV, where neural cell clusters, called barrels, represent localized regions of the skin surface. The …

Evaluation of pre-taxonomy soil surveys
… County, Virginia, was evaluated to determine if remapping was required to meet current soil survey standards. Considerable savings of time and money may be realized if a complete remap was not required. Ten random transects were chosen to study soil landscape units which formed the basis for the …

A prototype climate information system
… graphics improve data comprehensibility by remapping data to common projections. The CIS design rationale and implementation methodology are documented. The climatic data requirements for TESS are defined. The CIS capabilities are demonstrated with sample data sets which meet some of these …

Locating a Black Planning Tradition and Spatializing Black Nationalism
… the use of political art in Muhammad Speaks in remapping Black life for Muslims and non-Muslims during the Great Migration. The second essay draws on economic theological doctrine and newspaper advertisements to map the economic footprint of the Nation of Islam. The third essay interrogates the …

Possibilities for Making Institutional Change: An Institutional Critique of Diversity Discourse at a Predominantly White Institution
… can reveal discursive methods/methodologies for remapping the institution toward inscribing structures of resistance.

A Runtime Framework for Adaptive Compositional Modeling
… scenarios. Using function and parameter remapping capabilities, our framework transcends programming language and design boundaries, and enables applications to adapt dynamically during runtime. We introduce the capability to "restart" an application automatically, a feature we utilize to …

Extension and Quaternary Faulting in the Northern Central Nevada Seismic Belt
… ~14 - 27 ka before 1915.Reoccupation and remapping of 7 sites previously studied by Wallace, 1984 shows thatthe direction of crustal extension accommodated during the 1915 earthquake is orientedbetween 308.4° ± 12.5° and 294.2° ± 9.3°.

Application of Floating Pedal Regenerative Braking for a Rear-Wheel-Drive Parallel-Series Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle with an Automatic Transmission
… releases the accelerator pedal. This is done by remapping the pedal based on vehicle speed, gear position, and wheel torques. The custom shift logic utilizes the motor rpm and efficiencies curves to determine when to shift the transmission. The brake pedal regen is added to the hydraulic braking …

The hippocampal "Event Code" : implications from Descartes to Gridworld
… but also lap number. These "event-specific rate remapping" (ESR) cells remain lap-specific even when the maze length was unpredictably altered within trials, suggesting ESR cells treated lap events as fundamental units. The activity pattern of ESR cells was reused to represent lap events when the …

Representing Divorce, Reforming Interiority: Narratives of Gender, Class and Family in Post-Reform Chinese Literature and Culture
… of a middle-class domestic culture and in remapping a harmonious and self-contained domestic and psychic interior cut off from both the revolutionary past and the marketplace. Tackling rampant gender-related social problems in contemporary Chinese society, my research also seeks to address …

Articulated 3D Scene Graphs from Egocentric Vision
… a more capable robot to fill in the gaps by remapping. We narrow these blind spots in current methods by leveraging egocentric data captured as a human naturally explores a scene wearing Project Aria glasses, giving a way to directly transfer knowledge about articulation from the human to any …

Using a non-modal method for system identification of highly damped and high modal density mechanical structures
… Data reduction, filtering, periodization, and remapping techniques are applied to the measured data in the spatial domain. Linear and polynomial singular vector interpolation and subspace rotation techniques are applied in the frequency domain for the prediction of the spatial mobility over the …

Scalable collective message-passing algorithms
… a novel algorithm for process-partitioning and remapping for exascale systems that has far better time and space scaling than known algorithms. Our evaluations predict an improvement of up to 60x for large exascale systems and arbitrary reduction in the large temporary buffer space required for …

Lesion identification and the effect of lesion on motor mapping after stroke
… recovery of motor deficits is reorganization or remapping of functional representations around the motor cortex. This mechanism has been shown in monkeys, but results in human subjects have been variable. In this thesis, I used a database that includes longitudinal behavioral and multimodal …
