Ross Caudill MFA Sculpture 2006
This thesis overviews my experience during graduate school making tangible,object oriented sculpture. I have been working formally to compose space in a way that develops a narrative between parts. The work is also a bridge between the fields of painting and sculpture, in terms of drawing with form …

US apparel imports from China in the context of MFA IV
… apparel trade building up to and following the MFA IV renewal in 1986, so as to gain insight into the reasons for US apparel industry support of the new fiber inclusions, and to gauge effects of MFA IV on US apparel imports overall and specifically from the PRC. The study focused on the period …

Methodologies and analysis of metabolic flux in mammalian systems
… carbon (13C labeled metabolic flux analysis, 13C-MFA) is a promising strategy due to its ability to compute metabolic fluxes from isotope tracing profiles without relying on assumptions such as metabolic objectives or enzyme kinetic parameters. However, most current 13C-MFA methods have …

Crystallisation thermodynamics and random forest classification for the prediction of crystallisation outcomes
… focusing on the shapes of mefenamic acid (MFA) crystals from various organic solvents, and solvated structures of small organic molecules considered by Powder X-ray Diffraction (PXRD)patterns. The solubility and nucleation of MFA were also explored in this thesis in an attempt to understand …

Critical Evaluation of Techniques for the Identification of Archaeological Bast Fibres: Flax, Hemp and Nettle
… propose that longitudinal microfibrillar angle (MFA) and cross-sectional circularity (Ct) used in a two-step procedure to analyse selected modern fibres of nettle (Urtica dioica L.), flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) and hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) could offer an alternative approach. The reliability …

Development of Steady-State and Dynamic Flux Models for Broad-Scope Microbial Metabolism Analysis
… analysis (FBA) and 13C-metabolic flux analysis (MFA), can characterize carbon and energy flows through a cells metabolic network. By employing both 13C-labeling experiments and nonlinear programming, 13C-MFA provides a rigorous way of examining cell flux distributions in the central metabolism. …

An integrated decision support tool for more sustainable management of biomass resources in agricultural regions
… of the tools of Material Flow Analysis (MFA), Geographic Information System (GIS) and Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA). MFA is used as the primary tool for this research. GIS and CBA are combined with MFA in later stages of the overall procedure to develop an integrated decision support tool. …

Urban-scale material flow analysis in a South African context: a Cape Town feasibility study
Urban-scale Material Flow Analyses (MFAs) in the global south provide unique challenges compared to national MFAs and to urban MFAs in the north. In order to determine the feasibility of undertaking an urban-scale MFA in the global south, this dissertation sets out to undertake an MFA on Cape Town, …

Comprehensive analysis of metabolic pathways through the combined use of multiple isotopic tracers
Metabolic Flux Analysis (MFA) has emerged as a tool of great significance for metabolic engineering and the analysis of human metabolic diseases. An important limitation of MFA, as carried out via stable isotope labeling and GC/MS measurements, is the large number of isotopomer equations that need …

Modeling longleaf pine (Pinus palustris Mill) wood properties using near infrared spectroscopy
… lignin, extractives, and microfiber angle (MFA) were also measured throughout the tree. I found extractives, lignin, and MFA to decrease from the pith outward regardless of height. A theoretical model was built attempting to explain how lignin content and MFA co-vary. Theoretical and …

The accuracy of linear flux models in predicting reaction rate profiles in a model biochemical reaction system
… modelling of biochemical reactions. The use of MFA models has gained large amounts of interest due to the simplicity of the computational procedures required for the model, and the exclusion of difficult to measure intracellular reaction data. There are many examples of the use of MFA models in …

An investigation of mathematical misconceptions through an analysis of Grade 7 learners' responses to test items on decimals, percentages and measuremnt
… impact of a mathematics textbook, Maths for all (Mfa) on teaching and learning, in general, and on learners' performance, in particular. The impact evaluation study focused on Grade 7 learners, from a sample of formerly DET primary classrooms in townships near Cape Town. It focused particularly on …
