Lining Up
A creative, multi-genre collection that includes three personal essays (non-fiction) and two short stories (fiction). The pieces in this collection primarily focus on the themes of loneliness and waiting. It includes pieces dealing with homosexual relationships, friendships and heterosexual …

There is a Silver Lining.
… form with extreme torch heat to reveal the underlining vessel. I also find that the “crunch-raising” technique leaves a rippled texture in the surface of a vessel as it is being formed.</p> <p>I conclude that the project is successful. It is quite significant in that it has given me a personal …

Performance Reliability of Landfill Lining Systems
… of managing waste. Landfills are equipped with lining systems to minimize the rate of leakage from the facility to the surrounding soils and groundwater. The objectives of this thesis are (1) to evaluate the performance reliability of existing lining systems and (2) to develop a methodology for …

Behavior of Gasketed Segmental Concrete Tunnel Lining
The results of the analyses show that the lining deformations and moments are highly dependent on the location of the longitudinal joint with respect to the direction of the major principal stresses in the ground. Also, the results show that as the circumferential joint shear stiffness and normal …

Under(lining) Leh : the order of consciousness
"Because it is beautiful, there must be a formal order." - Leonardo Da Vinci. The thesis is an investigation into the idea that nothing built evolves naturally, that there is an explicit or implicit structure and an order to things. This order may be a result of clear intentions or of a collective …

Alkali attack on coal gasifier refractory lining
For a given coal gasification atmosphere, the reactions between fired alumina-chromia solid solution refractories and alkali (sodium and potassium) with and without sulfur at varying alkali concentrations were thermodynamically calculated using the SOLGASMIX-PV computer program and the results were …

Alkali attack of coal gasifier refractory lining
… The reaction products that form when refractory linings in coal gasifiers are exposed to alkali impurities (sodium or potassium) were experimentally determined. Analysis of selected physical and chemical properties of the reaction products, which typically form between the alkali and the …

Effect of lining thermal inertia on small-scale compartment fire
… the influence of thermal inertia of the lining material on ventilated enclosure fire The radiation error of the thermocouple reading was studied using radiation network models. Previous theoretical studies were implemented to provide improved models appropriate to the more complex …

Structural behaviour of concrete segmental lining tunnels: towards design optimisation
… boring machines (TBMs) has on concrete segmental linings (CSLs) can lead to either material waste or structural damage within the tunnel design life. Most research to date on CSL behaviour during construction neglects the sequential ring loading and TBM-lining transverse interactions, which this …

Every Cloud Has A Silver Lining: Positive Effects Of Deviant Coworkers
The purpose of this study was to recognize and explore the reactions of employees to a deviant coworker. Specifically, I focused on the potential positive effects for employees who are in the presence of a coworker perceived as deviant, dysfunctional, or negative. Consistent with a labeling …

Determination of the Influence of Polyurethane Lining on Potable Water Quality
… in water quality in contact with polyurethane lining material. In addition, the exposure time was extended to 30 days and odor analysis was performed. Polyurethane coupons were placed in headspace free borosilicate glass vessels with a surface area to volume ratio of 0.39. The water was pH 8 …

Thermo-analytical and spectroscopic characterisation of pore lining minerals in reservoir rocks.
Two methods have been developed for the characterisation of sandstone and carbonate based hydrocarbon reservoir rocks. Particular emphasis has been directed towards determining the surface mineralogy in order to understand the flow of fluids through rocks.The first method employs Diffuse …

Identificaiton of the pore-lining helices of connexin 43 gap-junctional hemichannels
… decreases in the distances separating the pore-lining helices; both changes in inter-subunit distances are of the order of several Angstroms. These results indicate that a simple ball-and-chain mechanism cannot explain the gating of Cx43 hemichannels by PKC-mediated phosphorylation and that a …

Rory lines : silver lining for seabirds in South Africa's demersal trawl fisheries
Seabird bycatch in commercial fisheries is one of the major factors causing decreases in many seabird populations. In trawl fisheries, high mortalities have been recorded as a result of seabirds being struck by trawl warps (the cables used to tow the trawl net). Tori (bird-scaring) lines have been …

In search of the silver lining : case analysis for mature market businesses
The business models of industries addressing consumers over the age of 55 are examined. A 3-D framework: Define, Design, and Deliver is developed to provide an understanding of notable failures in the mature market. Case studies in three sub-industries are used to highlight the negative effects of …
