S+M=L
Order in design, whether in music or a building comes from bringing together parts to make a whole. These parts can have an autonomous existence separately and combine to formulate a different event collectively. This thesis is a study of how a building accommodates to the changing needs of a …

Le cuir de Michel Foucault
<p>Dans ce mémoire j'analyse le point de vue sur le S/M que Michel Foucault a pu formuler dans ses interviews. Définissant le pouvoir comme un processus de théâtralisation qui vise soit l'être social soit le corps, Michel Foucault propose de penser le S/M dans le cadre d'une esthétisation et d'une …

SIMT: A holistic framework for embedding simulation into the health care systems.
Simulation and Modelling (S&M) have been proven as very valuable tools in the health care sector. In recent years, the sector has experienced a rapid increase in applications. However, it appears that health care organisations have failed to sustain the use of these powerful techniques. In this …

A comparison of the efficacy and safety of intranasal sufentanil/midazolam and ketamine/midazolam for sedation and analgesia in a paediatric population undergoing multiple dental extractions
This study was designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of intranasal sufentanil/midazolam [S/M] and ketamine/madazolam [K/M] for sedation and analgesia in preschool children that require dental surgery [extractions]. Fifty children [ASA 1] aged 5 – 7 years, requiring six or more dental …

Continued Radicals
If a1, a2, . . . , an are nonnegative real numbers and fj(x) = paj + x, then f1o f2o· · · fn(0) is a nested radical with terms a1, . . . , an. If it exists, the limit as n ! 1 of such an expression is a continued radical. We consider the set of real numbers S(M) representable as an infinite nested …

Aprofundamento radicular para a manutenção da abertura estomática no tomateiro
O tomateiro é uma das hortaliças que demandam maiores quantidades de água. Uma alternativa para o melhor aproveitamento deste insumo agrícola ocorre mediante o manejo do solo favorecendo o aprofundamento do sistema radicular, permitindo maior eficiência na absorção de água e nutrientes pela planta. …

Mathematical Modeling of the Budding Yeast Cell Cycle
The cell cycle of the budding yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, is regulated by a complex network of chemical reactions controlling the activity of the cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs), a family of protein kinases that drive the major events of the cell cycle. A previous mathematical model by Chen et …

Validation and use of novel techniques to study the impacts of large-scale environmental changes on the health of wild waterfowl
Wild animals are experiencing an increasing number and magnitude of stressors associated with the rapidly changing world. Repeated or prolonged stressors can trigger sustained elevations of glucocorticoids, resulting in detrimental effects on health and reproduction, with potential impacts on …

Higher-Dimensional Analogues of Two Theorems of Orponen on Exceptional Sets
Let $A \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$ be a Borel set of Hausdorff dimension $\dim_{\mathrm H} A = s$ and, for each $m$-plane $V$ in the Grassmannian $\mathbf{Gr}(n,m)$, let $\pi_V : \mathbb{R}^n \to V$ be the orthogonal projection of $\mathbb{R}^n$ onto $V$. \textit{Marstrand's projection theorem} states …

Dietary Manipulation at Pre-Conception and During Development Influence Metabolism and Gut Microbiota in Rats
Background. Obesity is a complex disease, modulated by a plethora of factors, including gut microbiota, early post-natal nutrition, parental diet and epigenetics. Objective. This dissertation examines how dietary manipulation during the early post-natal period and during pre-conception alters …

Estimation and prediction problems in mixed linear models for maternal genetic effects
The main objectives of this study were: (1) to compare quadratic and likelihood estimators of dispersion parameters in a sire plus maternal grandsire model (S-M) with respect to estimated bias (EB) and estimated mean squared error (EMSE) when the data are affected by selection, (2) to estimate …

Tetrathiometallates in Synthesis and Catalysis
Finally, Et4N[ReS4] has also been shown to react with isocyanides (MeNC, t-BuNC, CyNC) which add across the S=M=S functionality via a 3+1 cycloaddition process in the presence of S 8 to form Et4N[Re(S)(S4)(S2CNR)]. This type of cycloaddition has not been observed before for metal sulfides.

Exploration of Cell Cycle-Specific Essential Gene Functions in the Microbial Plant Chlamydomonas Reinhardtii
<p>The cell cycle encompasses all the steps required for cell proliferation, and is normally tightly coupled to growth and division in all organisms. Much research has resulted in a well-supported model of eukaryotic cell cycle control. However, since most of this research has been carried out in …

The oxidation chemistry of the xylenes and related aromatic hydrocarbons
The research was concerned with obtaining kinetic data and product information for the oxidation chemistry of the isomeric xylenes and benzyl radicals at 753K.A trace amount (0.01 % for kinetic study, 0.5% for product study) of each xylene was separately added to slowly reacting mixtures of H₂ + O₂ …

Lipschitz homotopies of mappings from 3-sphere to 2-sphere
This work focuses on important step in quantitative topology: given homotopic mappings from S^m to S^n of Lipschitz constant L, build the (asymptotically) simplest homotopy between them (meaning having the least Lipschitz constant). The present paper resolves this problem for the first case where …

Strange quark contributions to nucleon electric and magnetic form factors from parity-violating electron scattering asymmetries in the backward angle g0 experiment
The G0 collaboration has measured parity-violating asymmetries in elastic electron-proton and quasi-elastic electron-deuteron scattering at Q^2 = 0.22, 0.63 GeV^2. These asymmetries are sensitive to strange quark contributions to electric and magnetic properties of the nucleon, as well as to the …

Fabrication of Graphene-Based Composites via High-Pressure Homogenisation and Their Characterisation
Graphene, whose properties do not require introduction anymore, is a promising composite filler for polymeric matrices due to its mechanical strength, electrical conductivity, and unique morphology.This PhD thesis explores the potential of high-pressure homogenisation (HPH) as an efficient and …

A Study on High-Speed Magnetic Induction Tomography Instrumentation Aiming at Low Conductivity Applications
Magnetic Induction Tomography is a contactless imaging technique which uses a coil array to induce eddy currents to a conductive object and detects the secondary magnetic field containing the conductivity information. Magnetic Induction Tomography instrumentation for low conductivity applications …

Active Interfaces: From Biointerfaces to Mineralization
Novel technologies that can help adapt to and mitigate climate change are needed. In this thesis, we develop three different technologies that tackle climate change from different angles. First, a fundamental study is conducted on a novel boiling droplet self-propulsion phenomenon that occurs when …
