Erasure layering
This dissertation developed from an interest around sustainability and the current housing crisis within the inner-city of Cape Town. The evolution of the city has played a role in developing a layered but fragmented space that lacks a favourable density. New housing developments within the city …

Capacities of erasure networks
… senses, the “capacity” of several models of erasure networks. The defining characteristic of a memoryless erasure network is that each channel between any two nodes is an independent erasure channel. The models that we explore differ in the absence or presence of interference at either the …

Music analysis: Erasure and beyond
… of Vince Clarke and Andy Bell’s synthpop band Erasure (pictured above), spanning approximately the thirty-year period outlined in the literature review. In chapter three, the author presents an ethnographic reading of Erasure that is sensitive to the culture-bearers’ own competencies, musical …

The Vast Unsaid: Lesbian Erasure and Celebration
<p>Lesbian erasure negatively impacts the accessibility to literature, archives, and records of lesbian history as a result of being buried within queer and feminist discourse. As a result, scholars often classify lesbians into other categories, effectively rendering them invisible and unimportant. …

Streaming of Markov Sources over Burst Erasure Channels
… packets. The channel may introduce a burst erasure of length up to B in an unknown location during the transmission period, and perfectly reveals the rest of the packets to the destination. The decoder is interested in reconstructing the source vectors with zero delay, except those at the …

Error and erasure decoding for a CDPD system
… code, although an improved errors and erasures decoding technique would also be possible. This thesis undertakes a performance evaluation of the CDPD system with an errors and erasures decoder for the Reed-Solomon coding. A thorough system simulation is conducted for both white Gaussian …

Coding and scheduling optimization over packet erasure broadcast channels
… or more receivers in single hop wireless packet erasure broadcast channels. We capture the delay sensitivities across different types of network applications using a class of delay metrics based on the norms of packet arrival times. With these delay metrics, we establish a unified framework to …

Erasure-Correcting Codes Derived From Sudoku & Related Combinatorial Structures
… use of puzzle-based combinatorial structures for erasure correction purposes. The research encompasses two main combinatorial structures: the well-known number placement puzzle Sudoku and a novel three component construction designed specifically with puzzle-based erasure correction in mind. The …

On the use of erasure codes in unreliable data networks
… messages by using a coding technique known as an erasure correcting code. We develop a model of the network and present an analysis of the system that invokes the Central Limit Theorem to approximate the total number of bits received from all the paths. We then optimize the number of bits to send …

Close-form and matrix en/decoding evaluation on Different Erasure Codes
Erasure code, often applied in disk-array distributed le system, is a technique to protect data in case there are some accidental failures in the system. Nowadays, as customers require higher reliability for their data, RAID6, which at most protect double failures in disk-array, is not sucient any …

Writing History Under Erasure: Radical Historiographical Practices in Lebanese Postwar Art
This dissertation examines the artistic practices of Joana Hadjithomas and Khalil Joreige, Rabih Mroué, Walid Raad and Akram Zaatari, Lebanese artists of the so-called jil al-harb, or the war generation, whose work is characterised by a conspicuous engagement with questions of history writing, …

Graph-based and algebraic codes for error-correction and erasure recovery
… tiered recovery, depending on the number of erasures. A small number of erasures may be handled by only accessing a few other symbols, allowing for small locality, while larger number may involve a greater number of symbols. This provides an alternative to requiring disjoint repair groups. We …

Complexities of the Underrecognized: Conceptualizing Erasure and Exposure in Queer Caribbean Narratives
… This work aims to explore the multivalence of erasure and exposure in queer Caribbean narratives, which deconstructs or reconstructs stereotypes, sexuality, and identity. <em>Erasure</em> is defined as the exclusion or suppression of a member of the LGBTQ+ community in history and the present …

Local network coding on packet erasure channels -- From Shannon capacity to stability region
… single-flow multi-cast network and the packet erasure broadcast channel with feedback. However, characterizing the capacity for the practical wireless multi-flow network setting remains a challenging topic in NC. For example, the difficulties of finding the optimal NC strategy over multiple …

Rivers without a Territory: Indus Waters Treaty, 1960 and the Erasure of Kashmir
… regime could unravel if the Treaty’s erasure of Kashmir was publicly named. Therefore, their use of international law remained fraught and contradictory. On the one hand, the authority and stability of international law was critical to convert the Indus waters into an economic resource …

Writing against Erasure: Native American Boarding School Students and the Periodical Press, 1880-1920
… focus on the boarding school, Writing against Erasure provides insight into the context in which students first learned how to make complex and sophisticated choices in print. Within the contested disciplinary space of the boarding school, the periodical press functioned as a site for competing …

TOWARDS SELF-DEFINED EXPRESSIONS OF BLACK ANGER IN CLAUDIA RANKINE'S CITIZEN AND PERCIVAL EVERETT'S ERASURE
… Claudia Rankine’s Citizen and Percival Everett’s Erasure expose, undercut, and challenge reductive, stereotypical portrayals of black anger in the media. The project uses theories of African American literary and cultural studies to provide its basic frameworks, though it also applies, minimally, …
