Perceptions of the Ordinary
<p>ABSTRACT</p> <p>This thesis explores the progression of my work through my graduate studies at the University of New Orleans. I examine the central psychological themes of the human experience. Through painting, drawing, printmaking, and sculpture, I investigate various ways of translating …

Ordinary Choices in Extra-ordinary Times. Resistance to the Genocide in Rwanda in 1994
This study explores how and why, in their perspectives, persons identified as Hutu resisted genocide targeting the Tutsi ethnic group in Rwanda in 1994. The violence involved more than one million victims murdered in private places such as houses and gardens as well as public places such as …

The Extraordinary in the Ordinary.
I began my degree in Contemporary Art and Design in my early 40s with two young children, who were both still quite small and needed more ‘hands-on’ care than they do now that they are teenagers, which inevitably had an effect on my work. The ‘everyday’ is what I came home to at night; - the …

Into the heartland of the ordinary
… theoretical framings of the relation between the ordinary and the extraordinary in Western thought and art. In particular, it examines the ambivalence of theorizing with respect to its own extraordinary character, i.e. its acknowledgement of the implications of theorizing for mundane social life. …

Waveform methods for ordinary differential equations
The traditional approach for solving large dynamical systems is time consuming. Waveform method, an iterative technique for solving systems of differential equations, can be used to reduce the processing time. Waveform method has been shown to converge superlinearly on finite intervals. In this …

Power Series Solutions to Ordinary Differential Equations
… of methods for finding power series solutions to ordinary differential equations. In the case that a solution to a differential equation may not be expressed in terms of elementary functions, it is practical to obtain a solution in the form of an infinite series, since many differential equations …

Signs in Architecture: Beauty in the Ordinary
… joyful when we reconsider and play with the ordinary. The first trace of a dwelling in Japan is a pit shelter. People dug a circular pit in the ground, placed sticks vertically at the perimeter of the pit, and covered it with straws to make a roof. The dwelling protected people from the …

An ordinary house on an ordinary street : a community-based alternative model for housing the aged in South Africa
… them to the care of total institutions. Ordinary houses on ordinary streets are converted into neighbourhood old age homes in which a small number of elderly people live together. The home may be sponsored by any body, and, other than the cost of purchasing the house and furniture, it can …

Homotopy Analysis Method For Nonlinear Ordinary Eigenvalue Problems
<p>In this thesis, we solve nonlinear differential equations by the homotopy analysis method (HAM), which is a semi-analytic method first introduced by Shijun Liao in 1992. The modified HAM can be viewed as a more generalized method that encloses many perturbation and non-perturbation methods. It …

Modeling Trade Wars: Applying Systems of Ordinary Differential Equations
Systems of differential equations have been used to model a variety of situations including population dynamics, reactions between several chemicals, and even the outcome of warfare between two nations. These types of systems are well equipped to model both simple and relatively complex situations …

A numerical method for systems of ordinary differential equations
… a new computational method of solving systems of ordinary differential equations. The central idea of this new method revolves around our ability to generate a numerical approximation of the general solution of systems of linear differential equations. The idea of obtaining a numerical …
