Light Sensitive
<p>I am an excremental artist. I do not mean an artist who works with feces or is interested in manure but one whose artwork is expelled through the results of process. As a photographer, I am not as interested in indexing a location, a person or a moment as I am dissolving the structure of …

Sensitive manipulation
This thesis presents an effective alternative to the traditional approach to robotic manipulation. In our approach, manipulation is mainly guided by tactile feedback as opposed to vision. The motivation comes from the fact that manipulating an object implies coming in contact with it, consequently, …

Focus Sensitive Coordination
This thesis investigates the role of the Focus Sensitive Operators (FSOs) even and also when found inside of a coordination. Coordinations of this form are called Focus Sensitive Coordinations (FSC) and include or even, and even, and also, not only...but also, let alone, and as well as. I argue …

TOPIC SENSITIVE BELIEF REVISION
When asked to change one's beliefs in the face of new information, or to revise a book given errata, we commonly strive to keep our changes relevant, that is, we try to restrict the beliefs (or chapters) we change to those that bear some content relation to the new information. One kind of …

Learning Context-Sensitive Control
<p>Cognitive control refers to the use of internal goals to guide how we process stimuli and select responses, and control can be applied proactively (in anticipation of a stimulus) or reactively (once that stimulus has been presented). The application of control can be guided by memory …

Gas-sensitive holographic sensors
… photonic layered structures contained in analyte sensitive lms that upon illumination produce monochromatic reflections (λ). The present work reports the fabrication of oxygen and ammonia sensors in Nafi on membranes and hydrocarbon and volatile organic compound sensors in poly(dimethylsiloxane) …

Geometry-Sensitive Swarm Algorithms
… new algorithms which are more geometrically-sensitive than previous work [4, 13, 23, 32, 42, 44]. In Chapter 3, we develop a house hunting algorithm that is able to choose the best nest even when it is very far away from the swarm’s home nest or is being blocked by other poorer quality …

Bandwidth-sensitive oblivious routing
… designs. The performance of each bandwidth-sensitive routing algorithm is evaluated against dimension-order routing and against the other on a number of benchmarks.

Beyond locality-sensitive hashing
… first data structure that bypasses a locality-sensitive hashing lower bound proved by O'Donnell, Wu and Zhou (ICS 2011). By known reductions we obtain a data structure for the Hamming space and ... which is the first improvement over the result of Indyk and Motwani (STOC 1998).

Improving expertise-sensitive help systems
… system and eventually designing an expertise-sensitive help system. An expertise-sensitive help system would detect user expertise dynamically and regularly so that systems could recommend help overtly to novices, subtly to average and poor users, and not at all to experts. This thesis makes …

Position sensitive detectors in GaAs
… of the development of gallium arsenide position sensitive detectors. These are aimed at various applications with the original motivation being experimental particle physics. An account is given of basic semiconductor physics relevant to particle detectors. A review of electronics applicable to …

Networking Mechanisms for Delay-Sensitive Applications
… increasing. In particular, applications that are sensitive to end-to-end packet delays become more common and include telephony, video conferencing, and networked games. While the single best-effort service of the current Internet favors throughput-greedy traffic by equipping congested links with …

Ethical principles for a sensitive society
… check facts caused members of society to become sensitive and question the integrity of news stations and reporters as well as the validity of news being reported. Because the press has lost the trust of the American people, they can attempt to gain it back in one way-establish new ethical …

Wellbore stability in water-sensitive shales
<p>Wellbore instability is a widespread problem, especially when drilling in deep, low strength shale formations at high temperature and pressure. The instability can be caused by the high compressive effective stress or tensile stress due to the stress concentration and pore pressure increase …

Creating water sensitive places in Hangberg
The neighbourhood of Hangberg has had a long and intimate relationship with water, the neighbourhood is located around the Hout Bay harbour where the fishing industry provides the main source of employment and residents depend on clean water for their daily needs. This relationship has however been …
