Lost in Space No Longer: The Visionary Union of 'The Wire'
<p>In its serial space, David Simon’s <em>The Wire</em> season two relates the seemingly “disconnected” union men, foreign sex worker women, and African-American drug traders and crosses constructed boundaries of race, gender, sexuality, and geography to evoke the possibility of a transnational …

Writing and developing a play: from initial idea to final draft & Roses on the wire
… to Final Draft is a critical essay that explores the creation of a full-length play in the context of the MPhil (B) Playwriting Studies course. The essay looks at such aspects as the use of dramaturgical elements, including character, language, and time and space; cultural and historical research; …

American Dreams: Portrayals of Race, Class, and 21st Century Capitalism in David Simon and Ed Burns’ The Wire,
From 2002-2008, the television series, The Wire, realistically conveyed the inner city problems of Baltimore, with a particular focus on the drug trade and its social and psychological effects on Baltimore’s black underclass. This dissertation values The Wire as a major achievement in television, …

Narrative Epic and New Media: The Totalizing Spaces of Postmodernity in The Wire, Batman, and The Legend of Zelda
… culture, showing that new media epics model the postmodern world in the same way that ancient epics once modelled theirs. It demonstrates how the epic genre recurs across different cultures and subcultures, even as each instantiation of the epic remains unique to its particular society. The …

Beyond the wire : Levinas vis-à-vis Villawood : a study of Emmanuel Levinas's philosophy as an ethical foundation for asylum seeker policy
‘Beyond the Wire’ accounts for the seeker of asylum who unwittingly becomes entangled in the Australian detention regime. This thesis provides a lens through personal visits to Villawood Detention Centre—1999–2004—for studying the interpersonal and intrapersonal experiences behind the wire. …

Through the Wire: Examining the Experiences of Formerly Incarcerated Students in Prison Education Programs and the Wraparound Services Needed to Support Their Success
<p>This qualitative study examines the experiences of formerly incarcerated individuals in Prison Education Programs (PEPs) and the wraparound services necessary to support their success. Through Schlossberg’s Transition Theory, this study explores how incarcerated students navigate educational …

Hydrodynamic lubrication and coating of wire using a polymer melt during drawing process.
A device based on an adaptation of the Christopherson tube is investigated for the lubrication and other effects of employing a polymer melt as the lubricant during the wire drawing process. The device is heated to convert the polymer feed into a viscous melt and the pressure required is generated …

An investigation of the heat transfer in an electrically heated tubular wire strand furnace
This thesis investigates the heat transfer involved in the heating of wire in an Electrically-Heated Tubular Strand Annealing Furnace. The fundamental concepts of the furnace are explained, followed by the rationale behind the basic design of the furnace.This is followed by an experimental …

Magnetotransport along non parabolically confined quasi-one-dimensional channels
The one-electron spectrum, pertinent to a quantum wire in the presence of a magnetic field, is obtained for parabolic and weakly nonparabolic confining potentials. Different orientations of the magnetic field are considered and the corresponding ac and do responses of the wire are evaluated, for …

Magnetostatic interaction in nanowires
Nonvolatile memory and logic devices rely on the manipulation of domain walls in magnetic nanowires, and scaling of these devices requires an understanding of domain wall behavior as a function of the wire width. Due to the increased importance of edge roughness and microstructure in narrow lines, …

The performance of high voltage; outdoor insulation in polluted environments
"An iron wire, 12000 feet in length, was suspended about five feet from the ground by silk cords; one end of it was connected to the globe of an electrical machine, and at the other a lead ball was hung in order to perceive when the matter reached it. After five or six turns of the wheel, the …

A LIGO Double Pendulum Suspension Prototype for Reducing Unwanted Cross-Couplings
The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) is a Michelson Interferometer with 4km long arms used to detect gravitational waves passing through earth. LIGO uses extremely isolated optics in the form of suspensions to measure slight changes in laser path length down the two …

Thermal and Thermo-Mechanical Analyses of Wire Bond vs. Three-dimensionally Packaged Power Electronics Modules
The goal of more efficiently and more reliably realizing energy conversion in the power electronics industry is pushing the limits of current wire bonding packaging technology. Emerging three-dimensional power packaging techniques have shown their potential to replace wire bonding technology down …

Current distribution and particle motion in a barbed plate electrostatic precipitator
Electrohydrodynamic theory suggests that a modification in electrode geometry is a method of creating more favorable electrical and flow conditions in electrostatic precipitators. A novel barbed plate precipitator is designed to provide a more uniform current density distribution and electric field …

Addressing equipment set-up time and manufacturing cost through real time inline inspection in tantalum wire manufacturing
For this study, a novel wire inspection system was developed to detect surface defects and monitor diameter real-time during the final wire drawing operation. Throughout his work, it was proven that the new inspection system was able to catch common wire defects under manufacturing conditions (wire …

Thread-wire surfaces
This thesis studies surfaces which minimize area, subject to a fixed boundary and to a free boundary with length constraint. Based on physical experiments, I make two conjectures. First, I conjecture that minimizers supported on generic wires have finitely many surface components. I approach this …
