Visual Imprints: Understanding Location Data Through Information Architecture
… and how collected data should be used. Visual Imprints documents an exploration into how location data is collected, visualized, and understood by people with varying degrees of data literacy. Through the design and development of the Android application Data Atlas, this exploration utilizes …

Spectator fields and their imprints on the Cosmic Microwave Background
When a subdominant light scalar field ends slow roll during inflation, but well after the Hubble exit of the pivot scales, it may determine the cosmological perturbations. This thesis investigates how such a scalar field, the spectator, may leave its impact on the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) …

Tornado Scars: The Long-term Imprints of Disaster on the Texas Urban Landscape
… literature contains little on the long-term imprints of tornadoes upon the built landscape. "Tornado scars" describes the long-term existence of the visual impacts and evidence of historic tornadoes upon the constructed landscape. This research on these scars presents a theoretical framework, …

Moving on From Childhood Trauma: The Remedial Potential of Body-Centered Psychotherapy for Children
… Childhood trauma is an event which significantly imprints on the mind, brain, and body, placing the child at increased risk of mental and physical health problems in later life. This dissertation employs thematic analysis to study the use of movement-based therapeutic approaches for treating …

The effects of biophysical and biochemical cues on tendon cells: a study of underlying mechanisms in tendinopathy
… with PA, and cell viability was measured. Tendon imprints with healthy and tendinopathic architecture were prepared, and hTDC morphology was characterised. Results: hTDCs on tendinopathic matrices had altered cell morphology and gene expression profile. On PDMS matrices mimicking tendinopathy …

3D from 2D touch
… present observe the input from 3D objects as 2D imprints upon physical contact. By sampling these imprints at very high resolutions, we obtain the objects' textures. In some cases, a texture uniquely identifies a biometric feature, such as the user's fingerprint. In other cases, an imprint stems …

A study of hair characteristics of forty-two species of South African Muridae and the taxonomic application of these characteristics as definitive criteria.
… species, together with micrographs of gelatin imprints and scanning electron micrographs are presented. The taxonomic and practical uses of this method are discussed. It has been found that the cuticular scale pattern on hairs of South African Murid species studied shows a remarkable specific …

HISTORY AND GEOGRAPHY IN THE MAKING OF CORPORATE STRATEGY AND STRUCTURE
… a firm’s founding period leaves two regulatory imprints: a focus on government regulation and an accounting routine of downward earnings management. These regulatory imprints tend to persist and enduringly discourage firms’ R&D investment. This research contributes to a better understanding of …

Detection and imaging of pharmaceutical compounds in skin by MALDI-MS.
… was compared with the analysis of tissue imprints formed by blotting onto a variety of substrates. The samples were coated with matrix material by a prototype electrospray deposition device. Analyses were performed on a linear time-of-flight (LaserTOF 1500, SAI) mass spectrometer. Direct …

Seeing what is not there: figuring the anarchive
… archives, I argue that paying attention to the imprints of absence enables us to begin to grasp something of absence in its own right, that is, the negative space of an archive that constitutes a form of absolute absence. I have named this absolute absence in archives the “anarchive”. …

Focused atmospheric-pressure microsputterer for additive manufacturing of microelectronics interconnects
… focusing system to improve the resolution of the imprints; this focusing scheme combines electrostatic and fluid effects to direct the sputtered material into a strip as narrow as 9 pm. The microstructure of the deposits, which affects their conductivity, is also explored and modified. Using gold …

Illuminating the Nature of Dark Matter through Observation, Simulation and Machine Learning
… simulations for dark matter energy injection imprints in the early universe, and using Machine Learning to address the unique challenges in both of these tasks. Specifically, I explore using the echoes of astrophysical radio sources to probe axion dark matter, self-consistently simulating dark …

The Voices of Victimhood and Survivorship
Sexual violence imprints noticeable marks on a victim (and later, survivor) throughout the person's life. Experiences of victimhood and survivorship prove challengingly intangible in a discursive landscape of denial, appropriation, invalidation, and dismissal. The Voices of Victimhood and …

How did the Human Brain Evolve? Tracking Cerebral Changes in the Fossil Hominin Record Using Advanced Imaging Techniques and 3D Modelling
… a detailed examination of cortical sulcal imprints in extant Homo and Pan endocasts was conducted using micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) scans. Endocasts were digitally extracted, sulcal patterns were automatically detected, and a density-based approach was applied to visualise …
