PARATEXTUAL RELATIONSHIPS, AESTHETIC MEANING, AND PHENOMENOLOGICAL INTELLIGIBILITY IN FRANZ LISZT'S SONATA IN B MINOR
(2009)
When a performer approaches a score with the goal of crafting an interpretation, certain values are invariably assigned. The performer determines which edition of a score he will use, tempo relationships, dynamic ranges, ...
Writing in the Age of Speed
(2009)
This dissertation argues that speed characterizes the world of technology in the twenty-first century. The ideologies inherent in technologies have always been of enormous interest to historians, philosophers, and political ...
SHAPE DESIGN SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS AND OPTIMIZATION FOR 2-D STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS UNDER MIXED MODE FRACTURE USING EXTENDED FINITE ELEMENT METHOD AND LEVEL SET METHOD
(2009)
Weight and service life are often the two most important considerations in the design of structural components. This research incorporates a novel crack propagation analysis technique into shape optimization framework to ...
TOWARD A MORE CLARIFIED DETECTIVE QUANTUM EFFICIENCY METHODOLOGY: STUDY OF THE DQE THEORY AND APPLICATIONS
(2009)
Detective quantum efficiency (DQE) is widely accepted as the golden rule to objectively evaluate the performance of x-ray imaging systems. It provides a comprehensive characterization of an x-ray imaging system, because ...
AN ETHNOHISTORY OF THE AMERICAN INDIAN EXPOSITION AT ANADARKO, OKLAHOMA: 1932-2003
(2009)
The American Indian Exposition achieved unprecedented national prominence between its founding in 1932 and its "Glory Years" in the 1940s and 1950s. As a result, Anadarko was proclaimed as the Indian capital of the United ...
A COUPLED HYDRAULIC-MECHANICAL ELASTOPLASTIC CONSTITUTIVE MODEL FOR UNSATURATED SANDS AND SILTS
(2009)
Unsaturated soils are three-phase porous media consisting of a solid skeleton, pore water, and pore air. It is well known that the behavior of unsaturated soils is influenced heavily by the matric suction (pore air ...
Bockstein Basis and Resolution Theorems in Extension Theory
(2009)
Resolution refers to a map (a continuous function) between topological spaces, where the domain is in some way better than the range, and the fibers (point preimages) meet certain requirements. We will be interested in the ...
Analysis of Spatial Uncertainty in LiDAR-derived Building Data and Uncertainty Propagation in Modeling of Urban Atmospheric Dispersion
(2009)
Results of environmental models (EMs) are often used to assist decision making. However, EM outcomes vary significantly with different input data, model parameters and model assumptions. Therefore, informed decision making ...
