… a TB patient. The participatory methods included time lines, seasonal calendars, observation and semi-structured interviews. The main aim of all methods was to find out how the nine TB patients experienced life in a wider social context, the problems they faced within their households in terms of …

A theory for the time dependent yielding and creep of clay
… models the behavior represented by Bjerrum's time lines (Bjerrum (1961). The theory models time-dependent compression (secondary compression) and the "aging" effect, or increase in preconsolidation pressure with time under sustained load. The theory appears to be consistent with many aspects …

Career path analysis of professionals selected by MIT undergraduates
… all with their own unique stories and time-lines. This data was filtered, cleaned, and analyzed to gain insight into life after graduation. From the analyzed data it was found that the distributions of durations spent at graduate school, in companies, or in specific job titles were all …

An Analysis of the 3-He Proportional Counter Data from the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory Using Pulse Shape Discrimination
… thesis introduces a new observable based on the time-profile of the ionization in the counters. The inclusion of this observable in a maximum-likelihood fit increases the potential to distinguish neutrons from backgrounds which are primarily due to alpha-decays. The combination of this new …

Forensic taphonomy: investigating the post mortem biochemical properties of cartilage and fungal succession as potential forensic tools
Post mortem interval (PMI – the time elapsed since death and discovery) is important to medicolegal investigations. It helps to construct crucial time lines and assists with the identification of unknown persons by inclusion or exclusion of a suspect’s known movements. Accurate methodologies for …
