Void and beyond : reading between the void structures
… defines an edge of architecture by the various void structures it faces. Unlike the design method based on a particular program and solid dimensions of an object, it focuses primarily on the outer forces of the site, which is called 'void structures' . Void structures can be divided into three …

Casting the void
Void implies an edge or boundary condition, an absence within a substance, a space between. It is defined not by what it is but by what it is not. The act of filling in, of infilling, be it with new structures, defined park space, or even just a name is a sign of progress in that it connects and …

The Creative Void
<p>Yeats wrote in his Ideas of Good and Evil.</p> <p>“I have often had the fancy that there is some one myth for every man, which, if we but knew it, would make us understand all he did and thought.”</p> <p>Unfortunately, Yeats never pointed to a myth that might unlock the mysteries of his own …

Archaeology of Void Spaces
… reconstructing places full of human activity but void of material remains. A synthesis for an archaeology of void spaces requires the construction of new ways of testing anthrosols, and identifying elemental patterns that can be used to connect people with their places and objects. This research …

Gas in Void Galaxies
Void galaxies, residing within the deepest underdensities of the Cosmic Web, present an ideal population for the study of galaxy formation and evolution in an environment undisturbed by the complex processes modifying galaxies in clusters and groups, and provide an observational test for theories …

Rendering dark energy void
The current model of cosmology, the Friedman-Lemaitre-Robertson-Valker model, assumes that the universe is approximately homogeneous and isotropic on very large scales. Further assuming flatness and dark energy in the form of Einstein's cosmological constant A then implies that the latter …

Between solid and void
Too often, space or void, has been considered an a priori condition. Rather than using it and it's relationship to solids to create a harmony and balance of form, void has been unconsciously disregarded as a virtual nonelement in design. This thesis attempts to bring a tangible character to the …

Repowering the void : negotiating connectivity
Rejecting the conception of building as island as reflected in American obsession with detached currently reinforced by Zero Energy Building, the thesis explores patterns of connectivity. largely results from insular development and their related transportation modes. Further,' scales, when used at …

The Physical from the Void
… depth of space. In drawing the physical from the void, the page becomes a way to move architecture from non-existence into the real by means of the imagination. An imagined wold is drawn from the void in search of the center for a universal and humanist architecture. The thesis is conceived as a …

Drawing The Void - Fabricating The Ruined Garden
… of Cape Town, `the Company Gardens` and the “Void Garden” found in Salt River. The void garden is founded through the processes of parallax as the result of the establishment of the 'Company Garden’. An attempt is made to subvert the subjective fabric which held authority and reposition it in …

Photometry of the galaxies in the Bootes Void
… an investigation into the nature of galaxies in voids, 27 galaxies in the Bootes Void were observed in B, V, R & I filters. Absolute V magnitudes have been calculated for most of the galaxies in the sample to an accuracy of {dollar}\pm{dollar}0.15 mag or better using apertures that correspond to …

Entrained Air-Void System For Durable Highway Concrete
… describe F-T durability as a function of the air void system. These changes include: 1- Procedural modifications including longer curing times to better encompass requirements for higher SCM mixtures and the introduction of a drying period to better simulate actual field exposure conditions, 2- …

"Sung Out of the Void": Yeats's Folkloric Nationalism
<p>Yeats infuses his poetry, prose, and plays with elements of folklore, and the ancient stories are the seeds and roots for much of his work. He assumes his readers' facility with this material, which is credible, considering the wide-spread popularity of Ireland's iconic folklore. It is precisely …

Navigating the Void: Subjectivity and Contemporary Critical Theory
This dissertation argues that a feminist critical theory of event provides the political tradition of contemporary critical theory with important theoretical tools for the continued interrogation of our dominant socio-symbolic order as characterized by its prevailing structures, institutions and …

Mapping the void : brownfield inventories by local governments
Brownfields are abandoned or underused land whose redevelopment is complicated by the presence or perception of contamination. Nationally the United States Environmental Protection Agency estimates the number of brownfields to be more than half a million. As of 2002, the EPA requires states and …

Developing An Alternative Hardened Concrete Air Void Characterization Method
… characterization method for the hardened air void system in concrete. This study uses ASTM C457, “Standard Test Method for Microscopical Determination of Parameters of the Air-Void System in Hardened Concrete” as a baseline characterization method and attempts to thoroughly reduce the long …

Atomistic model of void nucleation and growth during electromigration
Void formation due to electromigration is among the most significant reliability problems in the semiconductor industry. To help gain a better understanding of the atomistic processes involved in void formation under electromigration conditions we have used the Embedded Atom Method (BAM) to …

The void fraction in headers of microchannel heat exchangers
… to other traditional heat exchangers. The void fraction in the headers affects the thermal performance, refrigerant charge, and total pressure drop of MCHEs. However, due to the complex geometry of headers, measurements of void fraction in headers are challenging. A model that predicts the …
