Containment and creativity.
In offering a collection both of poems and short prose fiction, my intention is to demonstrate my exploration of certain motifs and poetics across the two genres, specifically in respect to my core discussion of the creative interaction of structure and imagination. I am interested in how the …

Or else : cataclysm and containment
An analysis of the figure-ground relationships of central Minneapolis, Calgary, or Montreal must inevitably include the emergence of and pervasiveness of interior pedestrian walkways - no longer can the street/building relationship be viewed as binary or even sharing the same ground plane. The …

Containment of Organic Contaminants Using Geosynthetics
… evaluated on a case by case basis by modelling. Containment using geosynthetics in remote Arctic environments for PCB contaminants is also evaluated. Geosynthetics are found to not have performance issues specific to climate, but instead with respect to subsurface angularity of soil, suggesting …

Landfill containment and waste management systems
… to identify trends in United Kingdom landfill containment concepts. These are compared and contrasted with the approaches of other countries to landfill containment design and set against the background of pre-treatment and recovery processes aimed at minimising the volume of wastes for …

Buchi containment and size-change termination
We compare tools for complementing nondeterministic Buchi automata with a recent termination-analysis algorithm. Complementation of Buchi automata is a well-explored problem in program verification. Early solutions using a Ramsey-based combinatorial argument have been supplanted by rank-based …

Preferential Arrangement Containment in Strict Superpatterns
<p>Most results on pattern containment deal more directly with pattern avoidance, or the enumeration and characterization of strings which avoid a given set of patterns. Little research has been conducted regarding the word size required for a word to contain all patterns of a given set of …

Elevated temperatures in waste containment facilities
… and many other wastes are landfilled in waste containment facilities. A number of factors can lead to elevated temperatures and thus present a hazard to the public health and safety. For instance, MSW landfills can produce obnoxious odors, toxic gases, and aggressive leachates. In addition, …

Computer Virus Spread Containment Using Feedback Control.
In this research, a security architecture based on the feedback control theory has been proposed. The first loop has been designed, developed and tested. The architecture proposes a feedback model with many controllers located at different stages of network. The controller at each stage gives …

Evaluation of Contaminant Containment at Regina Landfill
Landfill and waste containment facilities are routinely constructed on natural or engineered low permeability barriers placed above or within the vadose zone to prevent contaminant migration into the groundwater system. Numerical estimates of design lives for assessment of barrier system …

Crash Analysis of Degraded Concrete Containment Structures
Dry storage casks are composite structures made of an inner steel liner and a concrete outerpack that houses the basket of the spent nuclear fuel bundle. The concrete of dry cask structures will degrade due to the natural aging and the environmental effect shrinkage, creep, heat transfer, moisture …

Waste containment barrier systems subject to seismic loading
Submission original under an indefinite embargo labeled 'Open Access'. The submission was exported from vireo on 2023-09-01 without embargo terms

Parametric study of stiffened steel containment shell structures
A FEM-based parametric study is undertaken to investigate the buckling behavior of meridionally and circumferentially stiffened steel cylindrical and conical shell frustum subjected to different load cases. This situation arises in different steel shell applications such as storage vessels (liquid, …

Thermal energy grid storage : liquid containment and pumping
… thesis focuses experimentally on heating, liquid containment, and pumping. The transfer of the storage liquid is key because it enables conversion to and from electricity and compact, efficient heat transfer. However, operating at these extreme temperatures introduces many practical challenges, so …

The Venetian Ghetto: An Experiment in Containment, 1516-1866
… site, the Ghetto of Venice was an experiment in containment as a means of maintaining coexistence between the early modern Republic’s Christian and Jewish populations. The walls that surrounded the Venetian Ghetto served both Christians and Jews, limiting movement while simultaneously providing …
