In search of order : the transformation and re-use of midwestern grain elevators
We filter the reality of the world through our perceptions, gaged by memories of past experience. It is the task of art, and therefore architecture, to bring us closer to the reality of the world--to somehow raise our level of awareness. Through the abstracted situations an artist creates, we are …

Business elevators : an innovative model for accelerating growth of SMEs in developing markets
Difficulties in finding adequate sources of financing and lack of managerial capital are two of the most important reasons hindering growth and innovation of SMEs in developing countries. The need for sophisticated financial contracts that allow for separation of ownership and control is today a …

Elevators and escalators: the study of an innovative approach to teaching fingerboard geography to heterogeneous string classes
… Instruction involved the use of the terms elevators and escalators to teach chromatic finger patterns on one string and between all strings. The participants (N=57) in the study were beginning string students enrolled in three middle school classes in Austin, Texas. Students were divided …

Returns-- towards a photographic criticism : [or, the case of the Berliner Bild-Bericht and the North American grain elevators]
… of North and South American grain elevators from the late nineteenth century used by Walter Gropius in 1911 and 1913 – this thesis is composed around four key questions: 1. What are the processes, material practices, and relations of power through which this photographic canon is …

The Cost of Forward Contracting in Mississippi River Barge Freight and CIF NOLA Markets
<p>Grain elevators often use paper markets to mitigate the risk of (or hedge) their cash grain positions, as well as establish a profit margin through basis trading. Typically, merchandisers use futures or forward contracts to perform these transactions. However, in order to liquidate a cash grain …

Studies on the internalization and intracellular transport of horseradish peroxidase in Chinese hamster ovary cells
… of yeast mannan (19 mg/ml), intravesicular pH elevators HEPES (40 mM) or monensin (10 μM), or substances which should deplete cellular ATP NaF/KCN (2 mM /1 mM), showed no inhibition of dissociation kinetics. A chase at 17℃ inhibited dissociation of HRP over the entire 30 minute period. This HRP …

A Hierarchical Algorithm for Probabilistically Complete Path Planning in Multi-Floor Environments
… connected by “wormholes”, which represent elevators and other between-floor connections. The full topological structure of the space can thus be described as a weighted graph. However, existing planning algorithms for multi-floor environments modeled in this way do not extend the guarantees …

Evaluation of the Resistance-Capacitance Method for Detection of Reduced Corn Wet Milling Quality
… Additional samples were obtained from area elevators in 1992, with temperatures ranging from 52 to 260$\sp\circ$C. A baseline reference relationship was developed between log$\sb $-resistance and capacitance using ambient-dried samples. RC properties of samples dried at temperatures greater …

Multiplexing of Extrinsic Fabry-Perot Optical Fiber Sensors for Strain Measurements
Elevators are a necessary component of the modern urban and suburban life. The guide rails the car and counterweight move on are the most sensitive parts when it comes to de-habilitating damage that can be caused by an earthquake. Conventional sensors are becoming obsolete in sensing for today's …
