Mind Warp
<p>The beginning of a young adult novel about a teenage girl who is in a car accident and discovers a latent ability to hear people's thoughts. The story begins with her being admitted to a mental health institution where she meets Isaac, another patient, and learns that strange and dangerous …

Reconstructing the Ancient Greek Warp Weighted Loom
… left of the loom at archaeological sites are the warp weights, clay weights made to keep the string taut while the weaver works. When a loom is destroyed while in use, the weights on the loom drop to the ground. The pattern in which they fall can tell the archaeologist how the loom was …

The warp and weft of Fries, Virginia
… The existing mill structure has become the warp, and a new structure is to be woven into it. It is designed to enhance the old structure and to do it in a way that is less intrusive than the original construction. Three new buildings have been sculpted out of the existing mill, through …

Nonlinear Doppler Warp Correction for Acoustic OFDM
… signal undergoes is modelled as a nonlinear time warp. A procedure is developed to estimate the parameters of the time warp from the observed signal. These time warp parameters are then used to reverse the effect of the time warp. Two different methods for estimating the time warp parameters and …

Design and evaluation of an optimistic CPU: the warp engine
… level parallelism. A new architecture, the WarpEngine, that speculates on control flow decisions and data values is presented. This architecture is shown to have the potential to extract performance through parallelism an order of magnitude larger than that obtained by contemporary …

“Let’s Do The Time Warp, Again!” <em>The Rocky Horror Picture Show</em> as Hysterical Theatre
<p>In studying not only the distinct aesthetics and themes of the film but also the experience of the cult midnight movie screenings, this thesis re-positions The Rocky Horror Picture show as a radical descendent of the theatrical legacy of Jean- Martin Charcot’s lectures on hysteria. His “theatre …

An invesitigation into the factors involved in preparation and weaving affecting the length and width of woven cloth. Effect of warping and weaving tensions, warp control devices, and relaxation processes on warp and weft modular length and thread spacings. The influence of beat-up force and cloth-fell distance.
… been made for such weaves as plain, hop-sack and warp and weft faced ribs. In this work theoretical models were adopted to determine the fabric geometry and weaving resistance. Experimental and theoretical findings are in agreement. The trends of the effects on values of weaving resistance of such …

Finding my woof by tweaking the warp : a personal account of an attempt to better understand learning in a Communication Design course
In this dissertation I set out to research my Design teaching practice from the perspective of enactivism, a term coined by two Chilean theoretical biologists, Humberto Maturana and the late Francisco Varela. Enactivism as a discourse, has its origins in philosophical hermeneutics and means that …

Blenko Glass Gallery
… It is an exploration of Hertzberger’s concept of warp and weft. Let us take the image of a fabric such as constituted by warp and weft. You could say the warp established the basic ordering of the fabric, and in doing so creates the greatest opportunity to achieve the greatest possible variety and …

The Dynamics of Magnetised Warped Discs
The study of warped discs and the study of magnetised discs have generally been performed in relative isolation, and comparatively little attention has been given to the complex interplay between these two aspects of accretion disc physics. This thesis aims to provide a synthesis of these disparate …

OFDM for Underwater Acoustic Communication
… radio frequency channel. In this work a time warp based technique which can be used to model time-varying wideband Doppler shifts (as seen in an UWA channel) in MATLAB is proposed. A corresponding procedure to estimate the parameters from observed data, required for inverting the effect of the …

Practical drying techniques for yellow-poplar S-D-R flitches
… process is a proven method of reducing warp in manufacturing hardwood studs. It has been assumed that its success is partially due to the stress relaxation caused by high-temperature drying. Implementation of this S-D-R process in the Appalachian region has been limited as few mills in …

Nonlinear Dynamics of Warped Astrophysical Discs
… evidence has highlighted the ubiquity of warped geometries in a variety of contexts. This has motivated theoretical efforts to explain the origins of such distortions and understand their ensuing dynamical evolution. Despite marked progress, a complete theory remains elusive, particularly …

Incremental volume rendering using hierarchical compression
… problems by making use of the efficient Shear-Warp Factorisation method which does not require specialised graphics hardware. However the original Shear-Warp algorithm suffers from a high memory overhead and does not provide for incremental rendering which is required should rapid user feedback …

Design, Implementation and Characterization of a Cooperative Communications System
… on the Wireless Open-Access Research Platform (WARP). In our implementation fully distributed nodes employ physical layer cooperation at symbol time scales without requiring a central synchronization source. Our design supports per-packet selection of non-cooperative or cooperative …

The Effects of Radial Migration on the Outskirts of Disc Galaxies
… of migration in disc galaxies with strong warps. I find that the warp remains isolated from the mixing effect of migration and thus forms a tight relation between age and metallicity. Stars forming in the warp settle into the disc, where they migrate across all radii, imprinting the warp …

A STUDY OF MACHINE FACTORS THAT AFFECT THE FORMATION AND GEOMETRY OF FABRIC PRODUCED ON A TRICOT IsARP KNITTING MACHINE
… of loop formation and the fabric structure on a warp knitting tricot machine. The experimental work has been carried out on a ’Liba Excentra' industrial tricot knitting machine using 44 DTex polyester continuous filament yarns. Throughout the experiments a very wide range of structures and …
