Mobile retrospective : shrinking the digital divide
… and interaction is a much-needed resource. Shrinking the digital divide requires and understanding of the social theory that exists at the core of implementing high technologies within low-income communities. From an architectural standpoint, placing mobile architecture within its historical …

Adaptive Reuse for Aging Populations in Shrinking Cities
… these challenges raise the question of how can a shrinking, economically distressed city adequately support their aging population? This thesis explores the underexamined potential of adaptive reuse as a planning strategy for supporting aging populations in shrinking cities. Adaptive reuse is a …

Trust less : shrinking the trusted parts of trusted systems
Modern computers, industrial control systems, and other automation are broadly vulnerable as a result of decades of systemic forces that have prioritized cost and performance over security. Computers across the board face a crisis in the form of motivated software adversaries with access to our …

Governing the future of a shrinking city: Hoyerswerda, East Germany
The notion of ‘shrinking cities’ emerged in the context of population loss and economic decline in East Germany around the turn of the 21st century. Different practices, policies, academic research and public debates developed, which were mainly concerned with how to deal with this problem. …

Public private partnerships for economic development: impacts on shrinking cities
… research reveals the economic impacts on these shrinking cities that have had programs and projects implemented through the agreements and workings of the public and private sectors. Several factors are analyzed to determine what constitutes the (un)successful and (un)satisfactory outcomes of …

Submergence as emergence : expanding social waterscapes in a shrinking city
This thesis seeks to reclaim spaces of urban disinvestment by developing alternative forms of contact and connectivity across urban water systems. Framing water as a mode of gathering, this project connects myriad urban realities, peoples, and practices. Alternative forms of linkages provide users …

Calcium, actin and the spectrin skeleton: Responses to swelling and shrinking perturbations.
… decreases in membrane tension, brought about by shrinking, should cause retrieval of excess surface membrane. If increased membrane tension increases membrane area via enhanced calcium dependent exocytosis, then (Ca) $\rm\sb{int}$ rather than membrane tension may be the primary signal used in …

The expanding significance of the shrinking hero in the novels of Marguerite Duras.
For Marguerite Duras, life is an annihilating passion that is most appropriately expressed by an antithetical and irrational apprehension of reality. There is a progressive feminacy in the characters, be they men or women. The early novels, harmonious and cerebrally conceived, show a masculine, …

MHD stagnation flow of nanofluid past a permeable shrinking surface with various conditions
… flow and heat transfer past a permeable shrinking surface with convective boundary condition. The velocity and temperature profiles are analyzed with respect to the involved parameter such as slip parameter, magnetic parameter, heat source/sink parameter, Brownian motion parameter, …

Shrinking gracefully : looking for effective planning and design approaches for small town America
The term "shrinking" is often considered a death sentence for Small Town America. Public officials, planners and residents often try to "solve" the condition of shrinking, applying the same tool kit used for growth, with little success. A widespread assumption is that shrinking is the opposite of …

The scattering and shrinking of a Gaussian wave packet by delta function potentials
… in order to find a pattern to achieve maximum shrinking. Chapter 6 concludes the thesis with the essential results of this research as well as its implications and potentials.

Slip effect on stagnation-point flow past a permeable quadratically stretching or shrinking sheet
… past a permeable quadratically stretching or shrinking sheet has been investigated. The governing equations are reduced from system of partial differential equations to system of ordinary differential equations by selecting appropriate variables. The system of ordinary differential equations …

The Shrinking Trial: Contrasting Newspaper Coverage of Trials Today Against Thirty-Four years Ago
This study is a qualitative content analysis of 562 news items culled from a Midwest metro daily newspaper and a Midwest local daily newspaper in the early months of 1980 and 2014. It examined newspaper coverage relating to trials, both civil and criminal, jury and bench, state and federal. …

No One Wants To Be A Parasitologist: The Shrinking Field of America's Least Favorite Animals
Parasites have a bad rap. Most people think of them as scary, gross, or both, but they are also diverse creatures that have evolved in and on every animal and ecosystem on the planet. Parasitism is the most successful way of life for an animal — representing more than 40% of all species — and the …

Stagnation-point flow past a vertical stretching or shrinking sheets in a nanofluid with slip effect
… the boundary layer stagnation-point over a shrinking or stretching sheet in the presence of velocity slip and thermal slip. Governing non-linear PDEs are transformed into corresponding non-linear coupled ODEs along with boundary conditions using similarity transformation. Resulting …
