The Woods of Wander
<p>The Woods of Wander is a children's novel about a young fox with a disability. The fox learns about mystical eggs that may heal him, and goes on a journey to find them. However, when he finds the eggs, the fox sees that healing is different than he expected.</p>

Ramble: To Wander & Wayfind in Image & Text
… this essay considers how illustrated works wander through and wayfind meaning in sequences of everyday experience. In particular, I am interested in the ways in which image and text might ramble (move or talk seemingly without set destination) alongside each other in purposeful ambiguity. As …

Effects Of Subduction History On Mantle Convection: Implications For True Polar Wander And Dynamic Topography
… models and compares predictions of True Polar Wander (TPW), the geoid, and dynamic topography to observations. We explicitly calculate past mantle states using TERRA forward global geodynamic models that assimilate two different global plate reconstructions: a widely used model we call …

Analysis of Unbound Aggregate Layer Deformation Behavior From Full Scale Aircraft Gear Loading With Wander
… trafficking based on any combination of applied wander and traffic direction.

Not All Who Wander are Lost: An Ethnographic Study of Individual Knowledge Construction within a Community of Practice
This focused ethnography of Appalachian Trail (AT) long-distance hikers explored the situated and informal nature of individual knowledge construction as mediated through a community of practice. Unlike place-based or cyber-bound communities, the ever-changing membership and location dynamics of AT …

Analyses and prediction of granular layer rutting trends in airport pavements due to heavy aircraft wheel loading and wander patterns
… complex gear configuration and the gear load wanders on the rut (i.e., permanent deformation) accumulation in unbound layers of airfield flexible pavement. As such, the challenge is to investigate and propose proper rut prediction models that can capture such influences from full-scale …

Investigation of the performance of flexible pavement systems under moving loads using finite element analyses
… airport pavements experience significant wander. However, the effect of wander on airport pavement performance has not been evaluated. In previous studies, the stress interactions between each tire of a triple-dual-tandem (TDT) axle used on B-777 and A380 aircraft cannot be captured using …

Low frequency cutoff effects in fiber optic communication systems
… which manifests itself in the form of baseline wander can cause appreciable degradation in the signal to noise ratio. This thesis investigates two ways of combating the baseline wander problem. They are quantized feedback and line coding schemes. A detailed performance evaluation of quantized …

Maxie Wanders "Guten Morgen, du Schöne" - Protokolle oder Porträts?
… ist eine Genre-Frage, die sich bei Maxie Wanders „Guten Morgen, du Schöne“ angesichts des Untertitels der DDR-Ausgaben, „Protokolle nach Tonband“, nicht auf Anhieb stellt. Dass es sich trotz des anders lautenden Paratextes bei den 19 Frauengeschichten um Porträts handelt, belegt diese …

All-optical processing using cross-phase modulation
… can occur such as timing jitter and phase wander. Traditionally these timing problems would have been corrected by converting the optical signal into the electrical domain and then compensating for the timing irregularity before converting the signal back into the optical domain. However, …

Optimization of lateral position of autonomous truck platoons to improve roadway infrastructure sustainability
… they travel; this is often referred to as “wheel wander.” While the lateral position of connected and autonomous trucks (CATs) is typically more channelized, it can be remotely controlled. Additionally, the time between two consecutive loadings (or, the “resting period”) is particularly reduced …

Utilization of Instrument Response of SuperPaveTM Mixes at the Virginia Smart Road to Calibrate Laboratory Developed Fatigue Equations
… stress-state, material difference, traffic wander, and healing. Field-measured critical strains and strain energy exerted during truck loading were both used to determine the stress state shift factor. Strain measurements of truck loading distribution (wander) were used to determine the …

An Architecture of the Body: The Garden Spa

Analysis of acoustic propagation in the region of the New England continental shelfbreak
… waveguide modes than expected. Arrival time wander and signal spread show variability attributable to the presence of a shelf water meander, changes in frontal configuration, and variability in the soliton field. The highly-coupled nature of the acoustic mode propagation prevents detailed …

Conversations With the Self: An Artist's Visual & Written Wanderings
… I think of these things as what allows me to wander and then wander somewhere else completely different within the same landscape. I feel it is important for an audience to experience these wanderings. I feel it is more valid for you to read exactly what I am thinking rather than to tell you …

Engineering the optical quality of quantum emitters in WSe₂
… stable emitters leading to reduced spectral wander. I realise this by encapsulating the monolayer in hBN, or by suspending the monolayer. This supports the theory that most spectral wander in these emitters arises from local charge traps in the substrate that contribute to charge noise. I …

The Cranberry Club
… coping with anxiety, loss, and lethargy as they wander a desolate city landscape, gradually crossing over into a surreal world representing the creative unconscious. Among the themes explored are expiring friendships, romantic values, the fear of the unknown, and the creative process itself.</p>
