Becomings-Unsettled? (Un) Braiding Settler-Treaty Life Writing
… normative narratives. It stories theory by braiding, unbraiding, folding, and unfolding problematic normative narratives in turns and tangles, in the middles of mistakes. As a collection of textural braidways, it illustrates White settler-Canadian treaty responsibilities to land, water, air, …

Bead manipulation to enable electrically controlled wire braiding
… the plausibility of controlled litz wire braiding at a nano-to-micro scale. Results from this thesis show that both dielectrophoresis and driven fluid flow are viable methods for bead manipulation and should be further developed to enable fabrication of "NanoLitz" wires.

Numerical Modelling of Braiding Processes in Gravel-Bed Rivers
… underpinning the development and maintenance of braiding makes identification of the cause and effect of channel metamorphosis hazardous. A growing body of research has suggested that the transition between channelpatterns may depend on the poorly understood interaction between the flow …

Braiding of Coronal Loops and Consequences for Coronal Heating
… designed different driving functions to act as braiding motions on a numerical photosphere, and sought to establish how each one affected overlying coronal fields. We used the concepts of topological entropy and helicity to categorise the drivers and applied them to a uniform field representing …

Ethical Relationality in Land-based Practices: Braiding Stories, Land, and Spirit
Abstract The purpose of this study is to find ways to sustain, validate and legitimize Tsuut’ina ninisha (way of life), and restore land-based practices that are critical for identity and survival within Tsuut’ina Nation schools. The research question guiding this study is: What is required to …

Braiding Counter-Stories: A Narrative Inquiry into Sport, Indigenous Identity, and Healing
… metaphor, inspired by Robin Wall Kimmerer’s Braiding Sweetgrass (2013). The braid, formed through the interweaving of Indigenous knowledge, story, and relational accountability, helped us hold the layered, temporal, and relational nature of the narratives. It did not replace narrative inquiry …

Braiding Education, Workforce, and Community: Designing Cohesive Learning Systems for Democracy and Mobility
This dissertation examines how education-to-employment systems shape economic mobility and civic participation, and how communities can redesign those systems to better align opportunity, contribution, and institutional trust. Grounded in youth voice and lived experience, particularly youth …

Sites of migrant landing: (un)braiding topographies of relations across hair salons in Mowbray
… part of the methodology, an experimentation with braiding as a cartography in Black feminist geographies provides a map of mobility in the urban space, that is routed and rooted in African women's beauty practices. Two distinct relations to the hair salon have emerged in the findings. One that …

Topological phases of matter
… loop-like excitations. These excitations exhibit braiding statistics, meaning that carrying one excitation adiabatically around another transform the ground state by a phase (or generally a unitary transformation). The braiding statistics of these excitations serves as a crucial ingredient in …

Design of a bias-weaving machine : thread manipulation and other topics
… weaving apparatus superimposed on a general braiding machine. The braiding machine consists of a set of moveable columns which hold spools of bias fibers, and a mechanism to shift spools from one column to the next. Jacquard-movable warp fibers run between the columns. This machine allows the …

A study of two dimensional braided composites
… consists of contributions of axial yarn, braiding yarn, and matrix material. Each of them takes a different weight in the effective stiffness. The weights of contribution of axial yarn, braiding yarn, and matrix material are $\rm\chi V\sb{f}/k$, (1-$\chi$)$\rm V\sb{f}/k,$ and (1-V$\rm …

Soft Bending Actuator for Body-Powered Application
… actuation techniques, this study involves braiding fibres along the axis at two different angles on each half of the cylindrical actuator. This angle difference allows the actuator to bend in one direction when pressurized by a pneumatic or hydraulic source. Furthermore, winding the fibres …

Networks of Collaborative Contracts for Innovation
… to innovate is instrumentalised through the braiding (intertwining) of formal and informal (relational) contracting to propel cooperation and undermine opportunism. Third, the “low-powered enforcement” approach towards these transactions (rejecting expectation damages or specific performance …

Braided rivers: an exploratory study combining flume experiments and the analysis of remotely-sensed data
… in the flume experiments and (ii) the variety in braiding patterns that are found in association with different boundary conditions of slope, width, discharge, and riparian vegetation. For the second research element, a Lidar survey of a 36 km reach of the lower Tagliamento river, Italy, was …

Alluvial river response to active tectonics in the Dehradun region, Northwest India: A case study of the Ganga and Yamuna rivers.
… change in channel slope, channel width, channel braiding patterns, grain size distribution trends, and stream power in response to active faults. Therefore, river morphology can carry a measurable signature of tectonic activity. Furthermore, it can be hypothesised that fluvial systems are in fact …

Long-term Geomorphic Effects of the Glines Canyon Dam Removal on the Elwha River, Washington, USA
… large wood, main channel sinuosity, channel braiding, and sedimentation. High-resolution imagery from 2012-2020 was used to map large wood and digitize main and secondary river channels, and field surveys were completed at study sites to assess sediment-size distribution six years after the …
