Incremental support structures for housing and urbanisation
… didactic architecture and the third a series of support structures that further promote the concept of incremental housing development. The process learnt from existing spatial configurations and transformations within informal settlements allowed the working backwards to discover the minimal …

Online learning webs : designing support structures for online communities
… can design online learning communities to better support connections to the people and resources beginners need when learning to program. I describe and analyze the design and implementation of the Scripts Workshop, a learning environment that supports members of the Scratch online community who …

An Investigation of Polymer Support Structures In Metal Directed Energy Deposition
… difficult or impossible to manufacture without support structures. The difficulty of support deposition and removal in DED necessitates that DED manufacturing of large components is restricted to geometries that do not require supports. The use of a dissimilar material, such as a polymer, as a …

High-temperature superconductors as electromagnetic deployment and support structures in spacecraft
… by high-temperature superconductors (HTSs) to support spacecraft structures and deploy them to operational configurations from stowed positions inside a launch vehicle fairing. The chief limiting factor in spacecraft design today is the prohibitively large launch cost per unit mass. Therefore, …

Design for Additive Manufacturing: Simultaneous Optimization of Structural Integrity and Minimal Support Structures
… frameworks consistently yield inherently self-supporting designs that maximize stiffness (minimize compliance) and maximize strength (assure stress limits), thereby minimizing material waste and post-processing while delivering high-performance components.</p> <p>Concurrently, this work also …

Modification of Lipid Microenvironments on Solid Support Structures for Use in Transmembrane Protein Assays
… lipid formulations, when fused with solid silica support structures such as planar surfaces or silica microbeads, allows for the reconstitution of the three of proteins of interest.</p> <p>These assay and high throughput platforms are essential to understanding key functions and potential …

The Oaks: Interpretation and Analysis of the Support Structures of a 19th Century Urban Farmstead
<p>This thesis documents the results of excavation in 2004 and 2005 of an urban farmstead in Jackson, Mississippi, called The Oaks. This research was conducted in order to find the functions of the various outbuildings at The Oaks. All the artifacts were analyzed at The University of Southern …

Creative housing : from provision to enablement : contexting housing policy through the investigation of support structures
In South Africa, the pressure on the infrastructure and facilities of the city - designed for a privileged few and now accessible to a growing populace - has resulted in two generic conditions. Urban economic centres have either relocated to areas outside of the city- exacerbating sprawl and …

Inspection of Ferromagnetic Support Structures From Within Alloy 800 Steam Generator Tubes Using Pulsed Eddy Current
… ferromagnetic materials, such as tube fretting, support structure corrosion, and magnetite fouling, ECT reliability decreases. Pulsed eddy current (PEC), which induces transient eddy currents via square wave excitation, has been considered in this thesis to simultaneously examine SG tube and …

An exploration of the coping strategies of black minority high school learners at a German speaking school environment and the support structures available to them
… into a white majority school environment and the support structures which are available to them. Data was collected using pre-focus group and focus group interviews. Qualitative data analysis methods were used drawing on Tesch's eight step model, (in De Vos, 1998:343). A framework for analysis was …

A qualitative inquiry exploring out college students' experiences with queer content in secondary schools
… environments regarding access to academic and support structures that address a spectrum of queer identities. The purpose of this qualitative, phenomenological study was to learn directly from the perspectives of out college students about their everyday lived experiences navigating their …

A rigidez dos apoios na análise de flexibilidade de tubulações
The support structures of a piping system are, in lack of more accurate values, modelled as springs with high stiffness constants, for flexibility analysis purposes. Although one may justify this procedure based upon the conservative results which, usually, are obtained for the supports' estimated …

Perceptions about math placement and pre-calculus/calculus math courses among college first-generation, low-income, students of color
… students did not take advantage of the minimal support offered. For the majority of students, the placement exam did not enhance their self-belief in being successful in college math, and half the students enrolled in a math course that was different than their placement results. Student …

Multi-Objective Build Orientation and Topology Optimization for Cost and Time Minimization in Fiber Reinforced Additive Manufacturing
… neglecting non-structural considerations like support structure minimization. Support structures, which are temporary features required for fabricating overhangs, can substantially increase print time, material consumption, and overall cost. To address this gap, this research presents a novel …
