Kinematics Of Detachment Folding, Appalachian Valley And Ridge, West Virginia, Matthew N. Giffels
Kinematics Of Detachment Folding, Appalachian Valley And Ridge, West Virginia, Matthew N. Giffels
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports
This study assesses the geometry and kinematics of a fold at the east edge of the Nittany Anticlinorium, Appalachian Valley and Ridge Province, West Virginia. Regional deformation consists of minor to major folds within two vertically stacked thrust sheets. Geometric analysis of a first-order fold in the upper, Silurian-Devonian sheet indicates it is a detachment fold with a detachment depth of up to four kilometers. The estimated detachment depth indicates involvement of the underlying, thrusted Cambrian-Ordovician sheet in the folding. Kinematic analysis of uplifted fold area relative to measured shortening amounts does not indicate a clear relationship. Finite strain measurements …
The Memory And The Legacy: The Whittlin' Whistlin' Brigade -- The Young Company 1974-2001, Ruth Ann Lay
The Memory And The Legacy: The Whittlin' Whistlin' Brigade -- The Young Company 1974-2001, Ruth Ann Lay
Theses and Dissertations
The Memory and The Legacy: The Whittlin' Whistlin' Brigade - The Young Company 1974-2001, is a history of the children's theatre of Brigham Young University. The Whittlin' Whistlin' Brigade - The Young Company acts as a training ground for graduate students working in theatre for young audiences. Then directing a production for The Whittlin' Whistlin' Brigade - The Young Company, students are instructed to perform all functions required of a professional company. As the The Whittlin' Whistlin' Brigade - The Young Company (WWB-TYC) spends much of its performance time on tour, those responsibilities are relegated to the students. Developed and …

Uncertainty Assessment For Cfd Using Error Transport Equation, Gusheng Hu
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports
While Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is making extensive use of the power of computational technology, it is also facing a serious problem arising from the so-called numerical uncertainty. The overall uncertainty (or the global error) involved in CFD results can be due to different sources mainly contributed by (i) discretization error (or solution error due to incomplete grid convergence), (ii) iteration convergence error, (iii) grid generation errors (skewness, grid aspect and expansion ratio, coordinate transformation etc.), and (iv) round-off errors. In this study an in-depth discussion concerning these issues is presented with an emphasis on the discretization error in regard …

This thesis presents "democratic" art. As defined by the author, democratic art is work that does not bear the idiosyncratic mark of the artist's hand. It is hoped that such work remains more fully open to the viewer's imaginative involvement than work that bears a more overt trace of authorship. As an invitation to such involvement, and in addition to removing the mark of the hand, the artist also creates interactive pieces, such as large-scale slide puzzles, which can be manipulated by the viewer. With these pieces the viewer can re-organize the composition of the work and thereby take as …
Expansion Of The Scope Of The Allenic Pauson-Khand Reaction To Include Carboxylic Acids And Esters, Kimberly D. Fisher

1,3,3 Trisubstituted allenes were prepared by performing an SN2' reaction of lactones. Opening of the lactone created carboxylic acids that could then be converted to esters. By varing the functionality on the lactone and the Grignard reagents, a variety of allenes could be prepared to test the viability of the Pauson-Khand reaction in the presence of these functional groups. The positioning of the groups also lead to variations in the system. These reactions produced three different types of adducts. They include alpha-methylene cyclopentenones, 4-alkylidene cyclopentenones, and cross conjugated trienes.*.;*Please refer to dissertation for diagrams.
