Ambivalent structures
… accompanying studio practice titled Ambivalent Structures interrogates the latent connection of the bunker with the urban terrain, channelling its psychological influence while addressing contemporary anxieties regarding power and control. Military bunker facilities have long been the subject of …

Kinky structures
… with regards the analysis and behaviour of structures that have springs distributed through the frame. The inclusion of springs within structural frames will typically encourage gross, yet controlled and predictable displacements that are challenging to analyse. Equally, deployable …

Partitive Structures
Natural languages have various ways of referring to a part of an entity denoted by a nominal phrase. One of these ways is to use common nouns that are described as relational nouns denoting part-whole relations between two entities. There is another method, however, to express a part of the entity …

Deployable structures
… the meaning and applications of deployable structures (making emphasis in the scissor-hinged and sliding mechanisms.) and the development of new geometries, details, and mechanisms that make these systems buildable and useful for architectural applications. A deployable structure is one that …

Visible structures
All architecture is the interplay between structure, surface and ornament. Traditionally, ornament adorned structure thereby giving it its meaning. A society with its intellectual foundations resting in faith or the abstract emphasized the ornament over the structure. The growth of Rationalism and …

Biomimetic deployable structures
… by virtue of temporary and convertible structures. Biomimetics is the applied science that, through the imitation of nature, finds the solution to human problems. By observing motions that occur in nature, for example, the blooming of a flower or the unfolding of wings, inspiration can …

Designing plasmonic structures
… results used in the design of various photonic structures. The emphasis of this thesis is in the theoretical and computational methods employed in the design. Many structures were fabricated and experimentally characterized confirming simulation results. Theoretically, surface plasmons (SPs) or …

Structures and dynamics
… in particular, apply to omega-stable Fraisse structures without algebraicity. Results in Chapter 2 are separately published in [Pan15]. In Chapter 3, we develop a game-theoretic approach to anti-classi cation results for orbit equivalence relations and use this development to reorganize …

Multistable Shell Structures
Multistable structures, which possess by definition more than one stable equilibrium configuration, are capable of adapting their shape to changing loading or environmental conditions and can further improve multi-purpose ultra-lightweight designs. Whilst multiple methods to create bistable shells …

Form-finding structures
… nature of long span dome, shell, and membrane structures readily allows collaboration between architects and engineers in the examination of their optimal form. Through the elimination of bending and shear forces in the structure, less material and reinforcement is needed. By minimizing the use …

Smart data structures : an online machine learning approach to multicore data structures
… collaboration among threads through shared data structures. Unfortunately, choosing and hand-tuning data structure algorithms to get good performance across a variety of machines and inputs is a herculean task to add to the fundamental difficulty of getting a parallel program correct. To help …

Smart deployable space structures
Nowadays, space structures are often designed to serve only a single objective during their mission life, examples range from solar sail for propulsion over shields for protection to antennas and reflectors for communication and observation. By enabling a structure to deploy and change its shape to …

Essays on Term Structures
This thesis explores two topics on terms structures in two different asset classes,the term structures fit and its predictive power. The second chapter researches the difference and relative goodness of fit of two term structure models, the Cox, Ingersoll and Ross (CIR hereafter) 2-factor model and …

Structures of Beethoven's Scherzos
<p>The inclusion of the scherzo movement in multi-movement compositions such as symphonies, sonatas, and chamber music can be almost exclusively attributed to one composer: Ludwig van Beethoven. After assimilating the existing scherzo form as it appeared in the music of Joseph Haydn (still labeled …
