A hybrid model for large scale simulation of unsteady nonlinear waves
… rogue waves in random seas on a large time and space scale is proposed in this thesis. It is formed by combining the derived fifth order Enhanced Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation based on Fourier transform (ENLSE-5F), the fully nonlinear Enhanced Spectral Boundary Integral (ESBI) method and its …

Empirical dynamics of a small scale coastal upwelling region
The study investigates the dynamics of a small space scale (less than 10 km) coastal upwelling region at the temporal scales spanning hours to years. Three to four year time series data sets of, sea temperatures at different depths (2m, 5 m and 8,5 m) one kilometer offshore, of wind and of waves, …

Conceptualizing and measuring the life space and its relation to openness to experience
<p>The Life Space is divided into four domains that surround personality, which broadly encompass a person's biological foundations, owned possessions, interactions and daily activities, and group memberships. In Study 1, a revised measure of the Life Space (the College Student Life Space Scale) …

Effects of Large, High-Resolution Displays for Geospatial Information Visualization
… this dissertation explains how semantic zooming, space scale, task scale, and task type all are variables that influence human behavior in both navigation and performance. This dissertation addresses primarily geospatial information visualizations, but extends to other generic spatially oriented …

An urbanism theory for Chengdu: criteria towards advancing an alternative urban development model for central Chinese cities
… which causes underused and unsuccessful urban space. Currently, both Chinese citizens and theorists are looking for an urban development model that can perfectly fit in the specific context. In this thesis, the Kuanzhai district is the main study model. Kuanzhai, a historical commercial …

Entropy and surfaceness
… manner through engineering at the molecular scale. This paper will examine these two fields, beginning a discourse and correlation between them, in the context of a built application. Specifically, Nitinol, a shape memory alloy, will be considered as 'dissipative media' in a dynamic building …

Switching to Switchgrass: Pathways and consequences of bioenergy switchgrass entering the Midwestern landscape
… variability in switchgrass yields across space, scale, time, and nitrogen management. Then in the second chapter, I use the spatial results from chapter one to challenge the assumption that low-input (unmanaged) switchgrass systems cannot compete economically with high-input (managed) …

When the carnival is over : Peter Barnes' Red Noses and the theories of Mikhail Bakhtin
… writes plays that are of an enormous scale, both physically and intellectually. Red Noses is one such play. Like Barnes' other works, Red Noses makes great technical demands on directors, designers, actors and audiences. As with all of Barnes' plays, Red Noses is, moreover, informed by …

Geochemical Evolution at White Island, New Zealand
… chamber is chemically homogenous over the time-space scale being sampled. Various major, trace element and volatile compositional features of economic and non-economic (or barren) porphyry copper systems were compared to the White Island data. The Al2O3/(Na2O+K2O+CaO) ratio observed in economic …
