Experiential Commensurability and Identity Correspondence: Examining Deaf Culture Movement Collective Identity in the United States
Using the analytical tool frame resonance, this research empirically assesses the alignment of personal and collective identities within the context of the Deaf Culture Movement (DCM) in the United States. Though social movement researchers assume that identities, culture, beliefs, and values are …

An Experimental Study Of Atomic Scale Friction And Adhesion For 2d And Layered Materials: The Effects Of Interfacial Contact, Compliance, And Commensurability
While frictional behavior has been studied for millennia, trial-and-error approaches to materials selection for sliding systems remain prevalent due to a lack of understanding of the underlying mechanisms of friction. This thesis discusses uses of atomic force microscopy to probe the atomic-scale …

The architecture and acuity of critical systems thinking
… this application offers an Architecture as commensurability (fourth stage). The Architecture is thereby offered as author.De-construction relates to four clear conditions that develop from the Architecture of Critical Systems Thinking. Each condition questions the Architectural authority to …

Understanding Ancient Math Through Kepler: A Few Geometric Ideas from The Harmony of the World
… is a means to study quantity in general. Commensurability and rational quantities are first principles, and from them are derived at least eight species of irrationals. A recently republished work by Johannes Kepler contains examples using polygons to illustrate these species. In addition, …

Presbyterianism and social change in urban China
… this project is an experiment that tests the commensurability between theology and social sciences, especially the viability of theologically engaged ethnography.

Progress In Scientific Revolutions: The Problem Of Semantic Incommensurability
… accumulated across the theory change. Thus, incommensurability creates a problem for the justification of the standard cumulative conception of scientific progress.;To resolve this problem, I distinguish irresolvable strong in commensurability from weak incommensurability, which is resolvable. …

Managing scientific change in agricultural policies: soil productivity, resource conservation and the legitimation of agrobiology
… composting practices for soil conservation. The commensurability of experimental practices and theoretical entities in soil fertility and agrobiology, as well as the support of agrobiologists for applying the knowledge produced in soil biology legitimated research in agrobiology.

Tensions Between Theory and Practice in Sustainable Architectural Design
… in the architectural profession about the commensurability of pedagogy and practice and the value of architecture. The conclusions indicate that at the root of these issues, is a fracture between the production of assessment method criteria and the implementation of it. Consequently, the …

Block copolymer self-assembly and templating strategies
… And in thin films, surface interaction and commensurability effect influence the self-assembly and result in more diverse morphologies including hexagonal-packed perforated lamellae, square array of holes. The progress of self-assembly can be tracked in situ using Grazing Incidence Small …

Generalisations of the almost stability theorem
… material, covering group actions on trees, commensurability of groups and completions of certain spaces. The chapter concludes with a discussion of a certain completion introduced in [23] and when this has an underlying group structure. We then introduce the Almost Stability Theorem in …

Thermoelectric properties of mesoscopic systems in GaAs
… completely controlled by electrostatic gating. Commensurability features in magnetoresistance show that the antidot potential and Fermi energy of the system can be tuned independently. The magneto-thermopower shows an even richer structure, displaying AharonovBohm type interference effects. A …

Colonial Theology: John Locke, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Charles Darwin and the Emergence of the Colonial-Capitalist World System, 1500-1900
… that the theocentric epistemic tradition of commensurability and resemblances structured by theological temporal formations have played a large role in colonial expansion, and can be better understood by applying the decolonial concept of coloniality to illustrate how theology, political …

A Phenomenological Approach to Comparison: The Non-Metaphorical Poetics of Paul Celan and Wang Wei
… in common and thus defies the very notion of commensurability. I have instead employed insights from the phenomenological tradition - ranging from Husserl to Heidegger, Gadamer and Merleau-Ponty - to illuminate the complexity of the poets' similar positions, specifically their non-metaphorical …

Negotiating hybridity in Gu Hongming’s English translation of Confucian texts
… on various themes such as linguo-cultural (in)commensurability, (un)translatability, and the relationship between foreignization and domestication. As a case study, this thesis probes into hybridity as a constructive yet ruptured term in translation studies.<br/>

The Ontology and Ethics of Money.
… nature. The Critical Realist can avoid reducing commensurability into either a mere empirical existence or a mere social construction. Whether things are marketable or not is partly a matter of extra-discursive facts and partly of discursive institutional facts. A market boundary, a separation …

Psychic life: the Freud-Bergson convergence
… in kind, how can there be interaction without commensurability? This question, which I show is central to both Bergson's metaphysics and Freud's metapsychology, has also been largely neglected in psychoanalytic and Bergsonist scholarship. In certain key passages on quality and quantity in their …

What counts as knowledge? Parameters of validity for the meaning and representation of a contingency theory in the organisation and management accounting literature.
… further and linked to attitudes regarding the commensurability of different approaches in the social sciences, particularly in the organisation/management and management accounting fields. It is suggested that this opposition is based on a particular view of science and scientific method. A …

Vortex Configurations Of Bosons In Rotating Optical Lattices
… of the vortex configurations depends on the commensurability between the vortex density and the site density - with regular lattices when these are commensurate, and concentric rings when they are not. Again we model the imaging of these structures by calculating time-of-flight column …

Quantum Transport Experiments with Ultracold Atoms
… different transport regimes, dependent on the commensurability of the kicking frequency and phase modulation frequencies. We characterise the resonances found in the commensurate case, and study the effective phase noise induced in the incommensurate case. A particular finding of this …
