Shape Memory Assisted Self Healing (Smash) Polymeric and Composite Systems
… is termed shape memory assisted self healing (SMASH). Additionally, a new type of shape memory termed reversible plasticity shape memory (RPSM) was also developed where both the elastic and plastic deformation found after deformation completely recover upon a thermal stimulation. I aim to …

“Let's Smash the Idols!” Kemal Pilavoğlu's Sufi Pan-Islamism in Republican Turkey
This dissertation is a case-study of a Tijaniyya organization in Turkey and its Turkish founder, Kemal Pilavoğlu (1906-1977), who established the order in or around 1931. The Tijaniyya is a Sufi order from north Africa, founded by Abu al-ʿAbbâs Ahmad ibn Mahammad al-Tijânî (1737–1815) between 1781- …

Significance of the smash-lunge sequence and lunges in relation to badminton singles match performance
… various high-intensity movements are performed. Smash and net shot are the most frequent shots to gain points from rallies, and they are often performed in succession. However, little is known about the smashlunge sequence performed in a badminton singles match, and how this movement sequence …

A continuous-time multi-stage noise-shaping delta-sigma modulator for next generation wireless applications
… NTF, a 2-loop sturdy multi-stage noise-shaping (SMASH) architecture is utilized. The proposed CT SMASH architecture has a much wider signal bandwidth which was limited in the discrete-time (DT) SMASH architecture due to the inherent sampling frequency limitation of the DT implementation. …

α7β1 integrin regulation of skeletal muscle growth in response to mechanical loading
… to 1) to utilize an automated computer program (SMASH) to reassess myofiber cross-sectional area in previously collected samples, and 2) to determine the mechanism by which the α7β1 integrin can promote myofiber growth following a mechanical stimulus. Aim 1 used an automated computer program to …

Power Operations In The Kunneth And C_2-Equivariant Adams Spectral Sequences With Applications
… these computations of the homotopy of relative smash products as being related to obstructions to having $E_infty$ ring maps. The operations in the $C_2$-equivariant Adams spectral sequence are a partial extension of the work of Bruner in cite{HRS} and have applications to motivic homotopy …

Dissecting the function of MYEF2 in neural stem cells and glioblastoma
… In this thesis, I also describe the use of SMASh tag degron technology to precisely control the degradation of SOX2 in mouse NSCs. SMASh, a drug degradable selfcleaving degron, was fused to the C-terminal of endogenous SOX2 in mouse NSCs. We find that this works well and can therefore be a …

Different warm up protocols on immediate golf drive performance in recreational golfers
… (MCHS), maximal driving distance (MDD), and smash factor (SF). Golf performance factors were evaluated for 17 adult recreational golf participants after they performed three different warm up protocols: (1) no warm-up, (2) active-dynamic warm-up, and (3) functional resistance warm up, on …

Topological Hochschild homology of twisted group algebras
… homology of the group algebra A[G] and the smash product of the topological Hochschild homology of A and the cyclic bar construction of G. This thesis generalizes this result to a twisted group algebra AT[G]. As an A-module, Ar[G] = A[G], but the multiplication is given by ag. a'g' = ag(a') …

Creating personas, performing selves – gazing beyond the masks of drag and neo-burlesque performance
… gender was malleable? If we cannot break gender, smash it to pieces, then, hopefully we might be able to bend it and fashion it into something that is more useful in the world, desirable, and something functional for an immediate need, or purpose. This thesis introduces the reader to the …

Operads and Homotopy Theory
In Part I, a notion of a group operad is proposed and then a theory of group operads is developed, extending the classical theories of groups, spaces with actions of groups, covering spaces and classifying spaces of groups. Group operads apply to homotopy theory via their associated monads. As an …
