The ‘Failed’ Detectives: Failure as a Structure of Feeling in American Detective Fiction, 1914-1953
<p>This study reads American detective fiction in its golden era in the early and mid-twentieth century through the keyword of failure. Using Raymond Williams’s ‘structure of feeling’ to make “a cultural hypothesis” of failure especially prevailing at the turn of the century, I argue that failure …

Localization of P450 aromatase in sperm and estrogen receptors in the epididymal region of the rooster
The epididymal region of the rooster (rete testis, efferent ductules, and epididymal duct) has an important role in the production of fertile sperm by controlling the luminal microenvironment required for sperm maturation. Even though androgen is the major hormone involved in regulating functions …

Highly parallelized control programming methodologies using multicore CPU and FPGA for highly dynamic multi-DoF mobile robots, applied to the MIT Cheetah
This thesis presents highly parallelized control programming methodologies developed for multi-degrees of freedom (DoF) robots capable of highly dynamic movements. In robotic applications that require rapid physical interactions with the environment, it is critical for the robot to achieve a …

EVALUATION OF LAND, SOIL, WATER, AND VEGETATION-RELATED ECOSYSTEM SERVICES AND TRADEOFFS AT UTILITY-SCALE SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAIC FACILITIES
Solar photovoltaics are a low-emission electricity source, but utility-scale development of ground-mounted PV may displace natural or agricultural land and compromise the land’s ability to provide ecosystem services. Co-locating solar photovoltaics with vegetation (sometimes referred to as …

An Experimental Investigation of the Effect of Blasting on the Impact Breakage of Rocks
Size reduction represents one of the most energy-intensive and costly processes in the extraction of valuable minerals and rocks. Drilling and blasting, being the first operation in the size reduction chain, may have a significant downstream effect, influencing mine economics. This thesis …

Morphodynamiken der Interaktion zwischen T-Zelle und dendritischer Zelle in dreidimensionaler extrazellulärer Matrix
Die Aktivierung der T Zelle bedarf der spezifischen Interaktion zwischen T Zelle und Antigen-präsentierender Zelle unter Ausbildung einer engen Anlagerung beider Zellmembranen („immunologische Synapse“) für Rezeptoren-Interaktionen und konsekutive Signaltransduktion. In dreidimensionaler …

Role of CGRP in the amygdala in pain-related synaptic plasticity and behavior
Pain has a strong emotional component. In particular, arthritic pain is closely related to affective disorders such as anxiety and depression. A key player in the emotional evaluation of sensory stimuli, the amygdala has been suggested as a neural substrate of the reciprocal relationship between …

A preliminary study on path planning and obstacle avoidance for construction equipment based on real-time spatial models
On obstacle-cluttered construction sites where heavy equipment is in use, safety and productivity issues are major concerns. Efficient and effective algorithms for obstacle avoidance and path planning, based on real-time three dimensional spatial modeling, have the potential not only to obviate …

Three Essays on Globalization, Structural Change, and Political Economy
<p>Re-allocation of labor from less productive sectors to more productive sectors is essential in attaining economic growth. Because only some developing countries achieve productive labor re-allocation, it is important to address the determinant of productive labor re-allocation. Based on this …

Risk Factors in Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm
The mortality rate of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) has been reported to be as high as 85%. Evidence suggests that ultrasound screening reduces overall and AAA-related mortality. The aim of this study was to identify and document risk factors for AAA from the largest Welsh cohort …

INTEGRATED AQUIFER VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT OF NITRATE CONTAMINATION IN CENTRAL INDIANA
Groundwater is not easily contaminated, but it is difficult to restore once contaminated. Therefore, groundwater management is important to prevent pollutants from reaching groundwater. A common step in developing groundwater management plans is assessment of aquifer risk using computational …
