Film, Music, and the Narrational Extra Dimension
… nondiegetic film music as a kind of narrational extra dimension. We will ultimately reject the view that music is instrumental in building narrative facts, in favor of one that holds music to be significant to the very processes of film narration, affecting how a film is presented.

The standard model in 5D : theoretical consistency and experimental constraints
The four-dimensional Minkowski space is known to be a good description for space-time down to the length scales probed by the latest high-energy experiments. Nevertheless, there is the viable and exciting possibility that additional space-time structure will be observable in the next generation of …

Black Spaghetti: A Numerical Model of Gravitational Collapse in 4 + 1 Spacetime
… collapse in the presence of a single "large" extra dimension through the use of analytical and numerical techniques. This has bearing on higher-dimensional ideas concerning hypothetical objects called "black strings," or black holes extending into an extra circular dimension, which dimension …

Massive stable charged particle signatures in simulations at the LHC
… phenomenon of black hole production predicted by Extra Dimension Models that attempt to resolve the Hierarchy problem. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN will allow the TeV energy range to be explored where black hole production might begin to occur at a significant rate as predicted by Large …

Foundational Investigations & Astronomical Implications of Quantum Gravity
… state space of this theory, the infinite dimensional analogue of the Fubini-Study metric over a complex non-linear Grassmannian, has recently been studied by Michor and Mumford. The geodesic distance between any two points on this space is zero. Here we show that this mathematical result …

Search for Excited Randall-Sundrum Gravitons with Semi-Leptonic Diboson Final States in 4.7 fb-1 of Proton-Proton Collisions using the ATLAS Detector at the Large Hadron Collider
… a resonance and are derived assuming two warped extra-dimension production modes: the original Randall-Sundrum (RS1) model and the more recent "bulk" Randal-Sundrum (Bulk RS) model. The mass range for both models is excluded at 95% CL with a lower mass limit for an RS1 graviton of 936 GeV and 714 …

Computer aided architectural evaluation and design : a cost modelling experiment.
… and Bills of Quantities intergration to give an extra dimension to cost modelling at early design stages. Essentially, this research project advocates a larger overlap in the use of computers for the generation and evaluation of design. It asserts that any computer aided solution evaluation …

Simplifying and deforming through hierarchies of simplicial grids
… The proposed method works in any fixed dimension and generates grids by projecting cross-sections of a monotone simplicial complex that lives in one dimension higher than the grid. The density of the grid is adapted by locally moving the cross-section up or down along the extra …

The journey from neophyte to registered nurse - a Dutch experience.
… of the researcher/student interaction adds an extra dimension to the existing body of knowledge. This narrative account invites the reader to follow the researcher's thoughts and decision-making whilst it simultaneously challenges the reader to confront their personalhistory and beliefs.

Carbon nanotube-based chemical sensing
… of the gate voltage offers a predicted extra dimension for sensing. Specifically, the sensors show significant increase in sensitivity toward CO when negative gate voltage is applied. In Chapter 3, we describe the design of a sensor for the highly selective detection of acrylates using …

Development of thermal displays for haptic interfaces
… for the thermal sensory system provides an extra dimension to use to present information in a thermal display and potentially could result in a display that functionally has a higher spatial resolution than the number of thermal elements would indicate.

High Order Finite Element Solution of Elastohydrodynamic Lubrication Problems
… (DG) method, is introduced to solve one- and two-dimensional Elastohydrodynamic Lubrication (EHL) problems (line contact and point contact). This thesis provides an introduction to elastohydrodynamic lubrication, including some history, and a description of the underlying mathematical model which …

The Many Faces of Garner Interference
… for identifying interactions between perceptual dimensions. The theory proposes that <italic>integral</italic> dimensions should produce a redundancy gain when a second dimension covaries perfectly with the attended dimension, and interference if the second dimension varies irrelevantly. This …

Kaluza-Klein Reduction of Pure Gravity and its Implications for K3 Surface Compactifications
… Maxwell’s equations could occur in five (4+1) dimensions if the dependence on the fourth spatial coordinate is ignorable. Klein noted that the last assumption would be natural for a compact extra dimension (i.e., a circle, rather than a line) of very small size. Since this initial proposal …

Leading change management projects in international cross-cultural settings

Evolutionary Dynamics of Social Behaviours on Multilayer Networks

Furthermore, it is explored and quanti ed …

Essays on information and incentives

Cosmic expansion in homogeneous and inhomogeneous universes : supernovae type Ia as cosmic probes
… we analyze a braneworld model with one timelike extra-dimension. There are strong constraints to the parameter values of such a model resulting from the claim that there must be a physical solution to the Friedmann equation at least between now and the time of recombination. We fit the model to …
