Getting comfortable in the zone with S3DComfortZone
This thesis explains the creation of S3DComfortZone; a visualization tool integrated into the development pipeline displaying the virtual comfort zones of stereoscopic 3D devices. This tool addresses the need for visualization information of unique comfort zones across multiple stereoscopic 3D …

Painting the zone : Chernobyl and the "Art of witness"
Often paired together as a result of their common heritage/background, the works of the artists addressed within this thesis, Natalka Husar and Taras Polataiko, share little on the surface. While Husar works solely within the realm of painting, Polataiko's works distinguish themselves as being not …

Disadvantaged students' academic performance: analysing the zone of proximal development
The aim of the study is to investigate the practical application of Vygotsky's construct of the Zone of Proximal Development to the selection of disadvantaged students in higher education. There is a need in post-apartheid South Africa, with its legacy of inequality in educational experiences, to …

The zone of "becoming": game, text and technicity in videogame narratives
Videogames have emerged as arguably the most prominent form of entertainment in recent years. Their versatility has made them key contributory factors in social, literary, cultural and philosophical discourse; however, critics also tend to see videogames as posing a threat to established cultural …

The zone of proximal development in an online Esl composition course
This qualitative study investigated the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) in an online ESL composition course. The study analyzed the correspondence between three Koreans and one Russian participant with their instructor that occurred through the WebCT computer-mediated communication (CMC) …

Play as the zone of proximal development: collaborative constructive block play
Based on Vygotsky's theoretical construct that play creates the zone of proximal development, this study was designed to examine the processes and outcomes involved in collaboration among dyads of 4-year-olds (matched for equal and unequal levels of play) in the context of constructive play with …

Hi-line mapping of large-scale structures in the zone of avoidance
This dissertation presents a survey made in the 21 cm wavelength line of the neutral hydrogen (HI) to determine redshifts of 928 galaxy candidates in the Zone of Avoidance (ZoA). The 2MASS Redshift Survey (2MRS) is currently the most uniform “whole-sky" redshift survey for mapping large-scale …

Peculiar flow fields in the zone of avoidance from the near-infrared Tully-Fisher relation
In this thesis, we investigate the flow field in and around the major large-scale structures in the southern Zone of Avoidance as derived from peculiar motions of galaxies. The peculiar velocities were derived from a galaxy sample based on the systematic deep Parkes HI Zone of Avoidance survey …

A Westerbork blind HI imaging survey of the Perseus-Pisces filament in the Zone of Avoidance
In this thesis we study a structure associated with the Perseus-Pisces Supercluster (PPS; cz ~ 6000 km s⁻¹), where it crosses the Zone of Avoidance (ZoA) at the Galactic longitude of ℓ ≈ 160ᵒ. This largely unexplored region contains the X-ray emitting 3C 129 cluster which hosts two strong radio …

Measurements of the length of the zone of flow establishment in a jet using a Laser Doppler Anemometer
The length of the zone of flow establishment in a submerged, turbulent, buoyant, axisymmetric jet issuing into a quiescent ambient fluid was investigated using a Laser Doppler Anemometer and microthermocouple probe. Also, velocity and temperature profiles were measured through various …

In the Zone: the Effects of Soil Pipes and Dunes on Hyporheic and Riparian Zone Hydraulics and Biogeochemistry
… and rivers are a vital part of our ecosystem. They are imperiled by human ecological activities such as urbanization, industrialization, and agriculture which discharge excess nitrate and other pollutants into our waterways. Here, this dissertation seeks to understand the physical and …

Application of the zone method of radiation analysis to simulation of the non-steady state operation of metal reheating furnaces
The zone method for analysing radiative heat transfer has been widely applied for furnace modelling, and is extensively reported in the open literature. The main reason for the application of this method lies in the accuracy with which it solves the radiant transfer in hot enclosures. Thus, it is …

Becoming a different person in the zone of proximal development : a case study of sixth form students making career and HE choices
During the last decade there has been a significant expansion in higher education (HE) in the UK, and widening participation is high on the government's agenda, as it is seen as one means of achieving a better-qualified workforce. In their work with clients, Careers Advisers are required to promote …

Perceptions of local firms to invest in special economic zones in Zambia: the case of Lusaka South Multi-facility economic zone.
Special Economic Zones (SEZs) after their success in Asia specifically China have been replicated worldwide to achieve the benefits realised by countries that successfully implemented them. The benefits realised from these zones range from technology spillovers, employment and attraction of foreign …
