Snap
<p>The term ‘snap’ can be defined as breaking under tension as well as a sudden sharp noise. Both definitions lend themselves to the content of this short story collection and its theme of self-realization (the awakening from an illusionary self-identity or ego).</p> <p><em>Snap</em> is a …

Cold Snap
<p>For my Master’s Thesis project, I will be writing an original piece of realistic fiction inspired by the “dirty realism” literary movement of the 20th century. This piece of fiction, at the end of these two semesters, will resemble a novella in length and style while focusing on execution and …

SNAP Biclustering
… ant-optimized biclustering technique known as SNAP biclustering, which runs faster and produces results of superior quality to previous techniques. Biclustering techniques have been designed to compensate for the weaknesses of classical clustering algorithms by allowing cluster overlap, and …

Experimental Snap Loading of Synthetic Fiber Ropes
… state to a taut state. This transfer is called a snap load and can be very violent. It is proposed to use synthetic fiber ropes as a type of passive control device in new or existing structures to mitigate seismic response. Experimental static and snap load (dynamic) tests were conducted on …

Snap-drift neural computing for intelligent diagnostic feedback
… understanding and misconceptions. Previously, a snap-drift modal learning neural network has been applied to improve the feedback mechanisms of computer-based formative assessments. This study investigated the application of snap-drift modal learning neural network for analysing student responses …

SNAP vs. FSA: Competency-Based Numeracy Assessments Count
… the Student Numeracy Assessment & Practice (SNAP). The traditional mathematics assessment is the Foundation Skills Assessment (FSA), developed and provincially mandated by the British Columbia Ministry of Education. The study's methodology examines the correlations between student achievement …

The Snap! toolkit : a model for pluggable monitoring
… from 1966 to present. This thesis describes the Snap! sensor architecture, a toolkit designed to address this problem. It provides a set of modules and interconnect protocols to give the system designer a foundation from which to build embedded sensor devices. By defining a set of standards that …

Prediction of snap-through instability under harmonic excitation
A method is developed to predict the critical harmonic excitation of systems undergoing nonlinear oscillations. The method is based on the total energy approach which limits the system responses within a region bounded by a critical total energy in the phase space. Three one-degree-of-freedom …

Are Heat and Eat Policies Affecting SNAP Household Participation?
… the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP). State practices that have come to be known as "Heat and Eat" (HandE) exploit a SNAP energy expense deduction in order to increase SNAP benefits. Sixteen states have used the practice at …

Lost in Translation - Language Barriers in the SNAP Program
… their constituents. This thesis focuses on the SNAP participation of Hispanic households, the country’s largest racial or ethnic minority that also has an above-average food insecurity rate. The primary analysis leverages variation in the availability of online English and Spanish applications …

Analysis and Modeling of Snap Loads on Synthetic Fiber Ropes
… transfers from a slack state to a taut state, a snapping action occurs and produces a large tensile force which is known as a snap load. Energy is dissipated during this snap load, and it is proposed to use synthetic fiber ropes as a type of passive earthquake damper in order to take advantage of …

Surface Displayed SNAP as a New Reporter in Synthetic Biology
… DNA alkyltransferase (hAGT), also known as SNAP, on the surface of a bacterial cell. Initially, we used this synthetic component as a tool for spatially segregating orthogonal synthetic gene outputs by visualizing an extracellular synthetic green fluorescent reporter, SNAP-Cell® 505-Star, …

Investigation Into Snap Loading of Cables Used in Moored Breakwaters
… a moored breakwater configuration to investigate snap loads in mooring lines. Breakwaters are structures used to attenuate or eliminate waves and protect shorelines, harbors, and other natural and man-made marine structures from wave damage. The breakwater in this investigation is modeled both as …

Snap-through of a shallow arch subjected to random excitation
… under low intensity loading, but will snap back and forth about its horizontal axis under high intensity loading. The parameter of interest is the time of first snap-through of the shallow arch under random load. This is defined as the time taken for the arch to snap to the other side …

SNAP-based grid resource broker using the three phase commit protocol
… the Grid middleware. The broker is based on the SNAP (Service Negotiation and Acquisition Protocol) framework and focuses on applications that require resources on demand. It is important for applications that require resources on demand to reserve the necessary resources within the minimum time …

Photoimmunotheranostic targeting of CSPG4-positive melanoma cells using SNAP-tag technology
… study, we investigated the use of recombinant SNAP-tag-based antibody fusion proteins as a means of delivering phototoxic molecules directly to cancer cells expressing the CSPG4 and PD-L1 cell surface receptors. SNAP-tag is an engineered version of the human DNA repair enzyme …
