Modelling the sound insulation of corrugated roof structures : an extended transfer matrix approach
… course of this work, the transfer matrix method (TMM) was implemented and studied for its potential in predicting the sound insulation characteristics of corrugated dual leaf roof structures. A model of periodically connected plates, using Fourier expansions, was derived independently and extended …

An advanced traceability schema as a baseline to improve supporting lifecycle processes
… to define a traceability metamodel named TmM (Traceability metamodel) model. TmM is applied in two case studies in which non-conventional work products and development methodology have to be considered as part of the traceability information. In the first case study, TmM has been …

Reconciling Moral Dissonance: A Framework for Re-Integrating Moral Orientation with Life Agency During Warfighters’ Struggles with Military Moral Injury
… to critically examine the Three Mirror Model (TMM) as a framework for understanding the formation and healing of Military Moral Injury (MMI). I adapt the work of Stephen Brookfield and Neal Krause to evaluate using the TMM as a methodology for dealing with the complex issues of MMI within a …

Investigation of mechanical properties of copper and aluminum covetics using nanoindentation
… invented by Third Millennium Metals, LLC (TMM). Covetics involve copper, aluminum, tin, zinc, silver, gold and other metals or their alloys which are infused with a high weight percent of carbon powder (up to 10 %). The amount of carbon in covetics far exceeds the solubility limits of these …

Trehalose Monomycolate Biosynthesis and Utilization in Mycobacterium tuberculosis
… from a single donor, trehalose monomycolate (TMM), to different acceptors located within the cell wall. Although there are three different pathways in M. tb to produce trehalose, only one, the otsAB pathway, leads to the production of TMM. Thus, inhibiting the Ag85 enzymes or the otsAB pathway …

BETTING ON ALTERNATIVES: TARGETING TELOMERIC DILNCRNA AND BET PROTEINS IN ALT CANCER
… mechanism of telomere maintenance (TMM) that sustains the proliferation of 10-15% of human cancers. We have recently discovered that damaged DNA, including deprotected telomeres, triggers de novo transcription of damage-induced long non-coding RNA (dilncRNA), which are essential for …

Not a Cinematic Hair Out of Place: Examinations in Identity (Transformation) as Evidenced through Haircuts in The Crying Game
… (TVM), and the Transparent Moderate Moment (TMM). All of these concepts revolve around the treatment and appearance of a character's hair within a film. In this examination, I establish a theoretical foundation for cinematic haircutting and apply the three concepts to several films. I ground …

Detecting coherent phonon wave effects in superlattices using time-domain thermoreflectance
… an application of the transfer matrix method (TMM). The calculations show that the integral effect of the buildup of phonon stopbands in the SL is minimal. Thus, if coherent wave effects are present, the conductance of the SL is nearly constant as the number of periods is increased, and the …
