Whistler Waves: Modeling and Observations
… Research [1]. This research focuses on whistler wave ducting events in the equatorial magnetosphere. High-density ducts are the main focus of whistler study in both studies as they are commonly observed by the Van Allen Probe satellites. A three-step procedure based on the analysis of …

Whistler Waves Detection - Investigation of modern machine learning techniques to detect and characterise whistler waves
… antenna receivers can be used to detect these whistler waves generated by these lightning strokes. The particular time/frequency dependence of the received whistler wave enables the estimation of electron density in the plasmasphere region of the magnetosphere. Therefore the identification and …

Rex Whistler (1905-1944) Patronage and Artistic Identity
This thesis explores the life and work of Rex Whistler, from his first commissions whilst at the Slade up until the time he enlisted for active service in World War Two. His death in that conflict meant that this was a career that lasted barely twenty years; however it comprised a large range of …

Emission of whistler waves from an ionospheric tether
In this thesis, we analyze how electromagnetic waves propagate in ionosphere around the earth which is magnetized plasma. We calculate the electromagnetic wave field made by a dipole antenna at an arbitrary observation point far from the antenna using the Stationary Phase Method. With this wave …

James Abbott McNeill Whistler: Photographs of His Paintings and the Art of Photography
<p>James Abbott McNeill Whistler (1834-1903) is an important figure in the development of art photography. His lyrical and atmospheric images were not only admired by modernist painters, but also influenced many photographers who aspired to be artists. His treatment of the subject matter, careful …

The Queer Subjectivities and Visual Culture of Stephen Tennant, Oliver Messel and Rex Whistler, 1922-1939
… (1906-1987), Oliver Messel (1904-1978) and Rex Whistler (1905-1944) between 1922 and 1939. This time frame reflects the beginning of their friendship at the Slade School of Art, their early adulthood creativity and a period immediately preceding World War Two in which they were visible in press …

Spaces of Japonisme and the Art of Whistler, Van Gogh, and Monet: Collecting, Decoration, and the japanese Other
… I studied the collections and decorations of Whistler, Van Gogh, and Monet, and analyzed their art to discover how they used ideas from Japanese art and their understanding of Japanese culture to define their artistic identities and to develop a decorative vision, moving away from spaces …

An investigation of carbon sequestration, storage capacity, and air pollution removal by trees in the Resort Municipality of Whistler
… values of trees in the Resort Municipality of Whistler. Specific tree attributes were used to model results to reveal a clearer picture of the carbon values in today’s carbon markets. The study used data from the vegetation resource inventory stock developed by the BC Ministry of Forests to …

An analysis of the Impacts of climate change on winter sports in British Columbia : a case study of Whistler and Revelstoke, British Columbia
Winter sports and tourism are central to Canadian cultural identity and an important economic driver, contributing many benefits including for smaller and isolated communities. It is forecasted that climate change will contribute to an increase in the frequency and intensity of extreme weather …

SUPPRESSION OF ELECTRON THERMAL CONDUCTION IN THE HIGH β INTRACLUSTER MEDIUM OF GALAXY CLUSTERS
… thermal conduction. Linear theory reveals that whistler waves are driven unstable by electron heat flux, even when the heat flux is weak. The resonant interaction of electrons with these waves then plays a critical role in scattering electrons and suppressing the heat flux. In a 1D model where …

The 2010 Winter Olympics: A Mixed-Methods Investigation of the Hotel Industry and Tourism in the Demographic Clusters metro–Vancouver versus the alpine–Resort Whistler
… distinct urban Metro-Vancouver and rural alpine-Whistler, whilst concurrently capitalizing on the availability of a unique BC Stats proprietary micro-municipal-level secondary data source, i.e., British Columbia’s ‘Additional Hotel Room Tax’ (‘AHRT’). Typically, traditional mono-method-positivist …

Electron acceleration at localized wave structures in the solar corona
… II. Electron acceleration due to attached whistler waves in the upstream region of coronal shocks (the electron--whistler--shock interaction) Coronal shocks are also able to accelerate electrons, as observed by the so-called type II metric radio bursts (the radio signature of a shock wave …

Between impressionism and realism: Robert Henri's early career, navigation of nineteenth-century French modernism, and the development of an American avant-garde
… of the nineteenth century, such as James McNeill Whistler, who contributed to his complex artistic philosophy, style, and technique. Throughout this project follows Henri's navigation of a range of anti-academic, late-nineteenth century art traditions in combination with more academic practice to …

Nonlinear Evolution of Mirror Instability in the Earth's Magnetosheath in PIC Simulations
… anisotropy leads to excitement of the electron whistler instability. Our results show that the electron whistler instability grows much faster than the mirror instability and quickly consumes the electron free energy, so that there is not enough electron temperature anisotropy left to …

A statistical study of plasmawaves and energetic particles in the outer magnetosphere
… Energetic electrons are often unstable to the whistler-mode chorus waves, and ions, to the electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) instability. These waves play an important role in the dynamics of the magnetosphere by energizing electrons to form a radiation belt, extracting energy from the hot, …

Social media enter the stadium : a case study on the political economy of media at the 2010 Winter Olympics
… Georgian luger died after his sled left the Whistler Sliding Centre track travelling at 140 kilometres an hour. The following paper uses Critical Discourse Analysis and the Bahktinian notion of intertextuality to examine how Canadian media discursively constructed social media users and their …

Literary urbanism, visuality and modernity
… Swinburne‘s friendship with James McNeill Whistler, for example, results in the ekphrastic poem "Hermaphroditus", which uses sculpture to comment upon the modern city‘s potential to heighten perceptual consciousness. Chapter three studies the application of ekphrasis in urban writing, …
