A Common Readout Driver for the COMPASS Experiment
The main goal of the COMPASS experiment is the determination of the gluon polarization DeltaG/G. <br>To achieve this goal, particles produced in the muon-nucleon scattering process have to be detected. <br>For this measurements particle identification has to be provided as well as track …

Do weight status and weight perception predict academic acheivement in adolescents? A longitudinal analysis of the COMPASS study.
… suggests perceptions of overweight account for the psychosocial consequences typically associated with obesity. Previous research indicates the presence of an obesity achievement gap, yet limited research has explored weight perception in association with academic achievement. Previous studies …

The eye of the needle: magnetic survey and the compass of capital in the age of revolution and reform
This thesis charts the globalising role of British geomagnetism in the age of revolution and reform. In the earlier decades of the nineteenth century, significant fiscal-military state resources were directed toward linking three momentous magnetic enterprises: Admiralty reform of practical …

The Effect of Jack Chapters on the Mental Health Help Seeking Attitudes of Canadian Secondary Students in the COMPASS Study
… seeking attitudes in adolescent populations. The objectives of this thesis were to evaluate the effectiveness of Jack Chapters—a school-based peer-led MHL program—on the mental health help seeking attitudes of Canadian secondary students at the (1) school- and (2) student-level in all …

The COMPASS Paradigm For The Systematic Evaluation Of U.S. Army Command And Control Systems Using Neural Network And Discrete Event Computer Simulation
In today's technology based society the rapid proliferation of new machines and systems that would have been undreamed of only a few short years ago has become a way of life. Developments and advances especially in the areas of digital electronics and micro-circuitry have spawned subsequent …

Design and experimental analysis of legged locomotive robots
In this thesis, I present the design and motion-capture analysis of two previously well-studied dynamic-walking machines, the rimless wheel and the compass gait robot. These robots were the basis for my undergraduate research at the Computer Science/Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) at the …

Is implementing a provincial e-cigarette tax associated with a lower likelihood of e-cigarette initiation among high school students? Evaluating the experience in British Columbia using data from the COMPASS study, 2018-2021
Background: This study evaluated the impact of an e-cigarette tax in British Columbia (BC) on youth e-cigarette use. Methods: This study used repeat cross-sectional and longitudinal samples of students attending high schools in four Canadian provinces in 2018/19 and 2020/21. Results: A …

Regulation of Set1-Mediated Methylation of Dam1
… is wrapped around an octamer of histones forming the nucleosome. Histones are modified by a range of posttranslational modifications including methylation, phosphorylation, and ubiquitination, which are integral to a range of DNA-templated processes including transcriptional regulation. A hallmark …

Using Archetypal Metaphor to Analyze Cultural Landscape: A Chlilean Case Study
… becomes ever more difficult to isolate and map the cultural identity of any given region, as bounded and contained cultural places have become a rare occurrence. To further complicate the matter, perspectives, loyalties, and identities shift with time, and appear to shift with circumstance. …

Transverse momentum dependent nucleon structure from pions impinged on a transversely polarized proton target
The transverse momentum structure of the nucleon generalizes the 1-dimensional parton distribution functions (PDFs) to a 3-dimensional description. The extended distributions are called transverse momentum dependent (TMD) parton distribution functions. TMD functions include transverse quark and …

Guaranteed Navigation With An Unreliable Blind Robot
… problem for a robot equipped with only a map, compass, and contact sensor. In addition to the limitations placed on sensing, we assume that there exists some bounded uncertainty on rotations of our robot, due to precision errors from the compass. We present an algorithm providing guaranteed …

Determination of the gluon polarisation in the nucleon using hadron pairs with high transverse momentum at COMPASS
The spin of the nucleon is the topic of many past and present experiments. While the quark helicity contribution to the nucleon has been measured, the contributions from gluons and orbital angular momentum are not constrained. <br> <br>This thesis is dedicated to the determination of the gluon …

Leader Perceptions of Campus Community Partnerships in a Community College Setting
Given the mission of community colleges, their leaders are often responsible for developing resources to support student success and improve relationships with surrounding communities. To accomplish these goals, community college leaders sometimes participate in cross-sector partnerships (CSPs) …

Themes, Lexemes, and "Mnemes": Composite Allusions in the Gospel of John and other Jewish Literature
This thesis examines composite allusions to the Jewish scriptures in the Gospel of John and compares these to similar phenomena in late Second Temple Jewish literature. Composite allusions are defined in this study as allusions clustered together in a single literary unit that are best interpreted …

Relative age effects: exploring possible solutions and the relationships between relative age, sport participation, education, and indicators of positive youth development
… Effects (RAE) indicate that being born closer to the cutoff date holds an advantage in sport and academic outcomes. Study 1 explores what effects relative age has on educational achievement, participation in school and extracurricular sport and physical education, and positive youth development …

In search of the 'real Gramsci': a historicist reappraisal of a Marxist revolutionary
This thesis undertakes a reappraisal of the Marxist philosopher and revolutionary, Antonio Gramsci. Gramsci has never been as widely discussed in academia as he is today. However, his ubiquity comes at a price. Due to the extensive range of its concerns, the body of thought that has arisen around …

Fertigung und Inbetriebnahme einer Stroh-Driftkammerstation für das COMPASS-Experiment
The so-called "COMPASS" spectrometer recently put into operation at the European Laboratory for Particle Physics (C.E.R.N.) uses straw drifttubes as space sensitive detectors for tracking purposes. The presented work deals with the specification of these detectors and monitors construction and …

Christian missions in Eastern New Guinea : a study of European, South Sea Island and Papuan influences, 1877-1942
This study examines the relations among the various ethnic groups concerned in the conversion of the eastern Papuan people to Christianity, the response of the Massim people and their neighbours to this process, and the nature of the indigenous Christian leadership that emerged. Between 1877 and …
