Voices from Lock-Up: Reflections of Detained Youth
… methodology to explore the experiences of a group of incarcerated juveniles in a short term jail setting. The researcher seeks to better understand the perspective of the selected juveniles, track their current social and legal situations, as well as gather information about their thoughts on …

Enhanced reach of a rod injected into a cylindrical constraint by on-off injection and rotation
… a helical configuration, the rod will reach a "lock-up" state, where the rod can no longer progress through the cylinder. To perform experiments, a custom manufactured elastic rod is injected into a borosilicate tube. A rotating apparatus was designed and constructed to rotate the rod at the …

Two Essays in Finance: Momentum Loses its Momentum, and Venture Capital Liquidity Pressure
… variation in stock returns, even following up markets. We suggest three possible explanations for the declining momentum profits that involve uncovering of the anomaly by investors, decline in the risk premium on a macroeconomic factor, growth rate in industrial production in particular and …

Cryptography and Computer Communications Security. Extending the Human Security Perimeter through a Web of Trust
… by sharing a random key that is used to lock up the secret data; as against sharing the data itself. This is significant in cloud computing, especially with homomorphic encryption. Using web design, the resultant scheme practically globalises secret sharing with authentications and …

Modelling the constitutive behaviour of poly(ethylene terephthalate) for the stretch blow moulding process
… in two aspects. One was the development of the 'lock-up' process in the network system, representing the onset of strain-induced crystallization (SIC). Another was the consideration of self-heating effect of aPET during the deformation.<br/><br/>A finite element model which included the validated …

An investigation of strain patterns and mesoscopic structures associated with ramp-induced folds
… values suggest dome development results from duplex formation in the Cambro-Ordovician dolomite/limestone package below the overlying Narrows thrust sheet. Duplex formation can be continued down strike by varying the number of horses and stable ramp position. Differential amounts of movement …

Modelling, control and monitoring of high redundancy actuation
… provides intrinsic accommodation of both lock-up and loose faults. Research to date has concentrated on HRAs based on electromechanical technology, of relatively low order, controlled through passive Fault Tolerant Control (FTC) methods. The objective of this thesis is to expand upon this …

Multi-timescale mechanics of an active low-angle normal fault
… predicts that normal faults should frictionally lock up and become abandoned at dips < 30°, yet geologic, seismological, and geodetic evidence shows that some low-angle normal faults slip actively. Despite evidence for actively slipping low-angle normal faults, few large earthquakes have been …

Development of Electrodes for an Electrostatically Actuated Mesh Reflector
… experiments, revealing anisotropic stiffness, lock-up at high strains, large hysteretic losses under cycling, and kinematic hardening. These insights are then used in a finite element simulation to determine a necessary pre-tension which result in uniform reaction forces at the attachments to a …

Corporate dividend decisions
… by a serial of factors including the length of lockup period, VC backing, managerial stock option, growth opportunities of IPOs, technology intensity, and selection of growth stock exchange (i.e. AIM). Finally, I find that the IPOs issued in the years when the market put a price premium on …

Micromecánica de elastómeros porosos y reforzados con fibras
… order homogenization model overestimated the lock-up stretch in the case of composites with a Gent matrix. The numerical simulations showed that the composite locking was due to the localization of the deformation in thematrix in thin elastomeric strips which connected rigid fibers along the …
