Confined in the margins of the margins : the urban form of mass incarceration
… being relegated to the remote and ignored margins by considering measures of visibility: distance to the nearest major road, and the number of nearby points of interest that may bring people within proximity of the prison. To investigate the building scale concern of the generous amounts of …

Crustal structure of rifted and convergent margins : the U.S. East Coast and Aleutian margins
… modify continental crust occur at continental margins, but recently has the scientific community acquired the necessary intrumentation to image crustal structure across margins in detail. In this thesis we investigate the crustal structure across the U.S. East Coast rifted margin and the …

On the quantification of safety margins
… of Defense in Depth (DID) and traditional safety margins to deal with the uncertainties associated with the design and operation of nuclear facilities. These concepts were formulated in the early days of development of nuclear power when these uncertainties could not be quantified. The subsequent …

Spelling violation: writing bodies from the margins
This project considers the marginal writer's relationship to linguistic violence---and through violence to survival and "a living." From Romantic era poetry to present day comics, I seek particular strategies of those who create within language that has proved potently injurious to them. These are …

Biodiversity and agro-ecology in field margins
… and multifunctionality of agriculture. Field margins do pioneering work in the ecologisation of agriculture since they are the interface between intensive farming practices and the wider environment. The presented multidisciplinary study investigates agro-ecological functions (nature …

From Continental Margins to the Deep Ocean
Oxygen minimum zones (OMZs) occupy ~9% of the ocean but strongly influence marine biogeochemical cycles. The response of these zones to climate change is uncertain, making reconstructions of past redox conditions, to better understand the future, essential. For this porpose, redox-sensitive proxies …

Hidden Hout Bay mainstream, myths and margins
This essay, which accompanies a photo-book, constructs a different picture which I have made of Hout Bay; a picture that lies behind the glossy postcard and calendar photographs of this global tourist attraction; one that lies hidden from foreign tourists as well as from local visitors to the …

Mass-transport deposits on Mediterranean continental margins
… Quaternary on the SW-Adriatic and SE-Sicilian margins. These mass movements and their consequences contributed to shape the continental slopes and fill the basins with characteristic signatures. Geomorphological, seismo-stratigraphic, sedimentological and biostratigraphic data provide clues to: …

Are changing margins factored into stock prices?
Stocks returns are often associated with the value of the company. There are many ways in which research has found viable variables to predict the future stock return, including autocorrelation of the stock prices, using the P/E ratio or more recently using the GP/A ratio. Having clear evidence …

Memory, Margins, and Materiality: The Philadelphia MOVE Bombing
On May 13, 1985, Philadelphians watched a live news broadcast as a police officer tossed a duffel bag full of plastic explosives onto the roof of an occupied rowhome in a Black, middle-class West Philadelphia neighborhood. The bombing and the decision to allow the fire to burn killed five children …

Analysis of Cancer Margins in Mass Spectrometry Images
Computational analysis of metabolite activity surrounding a tumor border could enhance intraoperative tumor resection. One method to collect this data is mass spectrometry imaging, an analytical technique that can detect the patterns of metabolites within a sample and retain the spatial …

Biophysical interactions and stability at salt marsh margins
… variability in rates of erosion at salt marsh margins, and, with widespread loss of tidal wetlands, there is a need to better understand the factors which make salt marshes more or less likely to persist over time. The resistance of salt marsh sediments to erosion is influenced by …

An Analysis of Stability Margins for Continuous Systems
When designing or reviewing control systems, it is important to understand the limitations of the system's design. Many systems today are designed using numerical methods. Although the numerical model may be controllable, stabilizable, or stable, small perturbations of the system parameters can …
