Configurations of a southern place: a postcolonial, southern urban inquiry into place-making in Norwood, Johannesburg.
(2023-05-12)
Place theory in geography has largely been a northern scholarly endeavor. Yet there is much to learn about place-making in global south cities. Southern urban scholars argue that understanding cities of and from the vantage ...
Study of hot carrier dynamics and relaxation in metal halide perovskites
(2023-05)
Metal halide perovskites are a promising class of solution-based semiconductors
with significant potential for optoelectronic devices, including hot carrier solar cells
that are proposed to achieve higher efficiency than ...
A global optimization framework for stochastic integrated refinery planning with nonlinear unit models under demand and price uncertainties
(2020-09-11)
The refining industry is facing increased volatility in the global market such as lower economic margins. In this situation, refinery production planning becomes a substantial tool to utilize all potentials to extend the ...
Metal-ligand covalency in uranium, thorium, and cerium coordination chemistry: elucidating the nature of chemical bonding in f-element complexes using phosphorus ligands
(2022-05-13)
Herein the syntheses and characterization of model actinide and lanthanide complexes bearing phosphorus-based ligands are reported. High-symmetry molecular models featuring phosphorus-based ligands are very advantageous ...
Feeling, Feeding, and Feigning Humors: Shakespeare, Jonson, and Early Modern Humoral Theory
(2022-05-13)
In this dissertation, I argue that the humors are a productive way to read early modern drama and that using them as a productive means of analysis allows for much richer cultural knowledge about medicine to come through ...
Electromagnetic Modeling Methods for Microstrip Patch Antennas up to the Millimeter-Wave and Sub-Terahertz Bands
(2022-12-16)
In the current world of highly integrated communications, reliable and robust systems will be required to develop the 6G networks. The millimeter-wave band (30 GHz–100 GHz) and the sub-terahertz band (100 GHz–300 GHz) have ...
Theodor Kirchner's Miniatures, Op. 62: A Pedagogical Analysis
(2020-05)
This study provides a pedagogical and performance analysis of the Miniatures, Op. 62 of Theodor Kirchner. Kirchner was a 19th century composer, pianist, organist, and conductor who was incredibly prolific and yet remains ...
Marine fish diversification along the water column gradient: a tale of many threads
(2022-08-04)
Decades of investigation about the evolutionary mechanisms responsible for the astonishing diversity of fishes have suggested habitat transitions along the water column as a prominent ecological divergence axis affecting ...
Multiscale Modeling of Hybrid Structural Composites Enhanced by Aligned Zinc Oxide Nanowires
(2022-05)
Interfacial properties between fibers and matrix can significantly impact the overall performance of the composite structures. One pioneering approach to enhancing the interfacial properties is growing nanostructures on ...
Constructors' Decision-Support Framework for NZEB Projects
(2022-05-13)
Efficient construction project management is crucial to project success. As the construction industry changes, constructors find themselves confronted by new issues and must undertake roles that have not traditionally been ...
