Re-Establishing Place Through Knowledge: A Facility For Earth Construction Education In Pisco, Peru, Hannah Jo Sebastian

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Human vulnerability can be characterized as people living with uncertain livelihood options, precariously settled in structurally unsafe buildings. A striking aspect of this vulnerability is the large number of people living in earthen structures within seismically active zones. This reality is exemplified by the earthquake which occurred this past summer around Pisco, Peru. The earthquake caused enormous damage to more than 80% of the adobe buildings. Although confined masonry is the preferred construction technique for families who can afford it, adobe is still the only economically viable alternative for most.

Presently reconstruction efforts are focused on encouraging residents to build …

Sedimentation Of Organic - Inorganic Composites By Optical Turbidity, Reshma K. Harrinauth

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Sedimentation is one of many characterization tools used to test materials in nanotechnology. Characterization of settling behavior is complex as there are many variables which can affect sedimentation. In our research, we focused on sedimentation in colloidal systems with the aid of an optical turbidometer. Nanoparticles of CeO₂ (Ceria Oxide) and TiO₂ (Titanium Dioxide) are embedded onto a polymeric matrix of a thermally responsive microgel of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) and interpenetrating chains of poly(acrylic acid) to create novel composites. The composites are loaded with the inorganic oxide nanoparticles at different weight percent from a low value of 10 weight …

German Working Papers in Law and Economics

Nach Schätzungen der Weltgesundheitsorganisation hat die Zigarettenindustrie im vergangenen Jahrhundert mit ihren Produkten 100 Millionen Menschen weltweit getötet. Für dieses Jahrhundert werden 1 Milliarde Tote erwartet. Da der Beginn einer Raucherkarriere nahezu ausschließlich im Kindes- und Jugendlichenalter liegt, besteht auf Seiten der Zigarettenindustrie der wirtschaftliche Zwang, Kinder und Jugendliche durch offene und verdeckte Verkaufanstrengungen zu süchtigen Rauchern zu machen. Bisherige Bemühungen von Eltern, Gesundheitsinstitutionen und Regierungen, die Raucherquote von Kindern und Jugendlichen zu senken, waren nicht hinreichend erfolgreich. Über 1,3 Millionen Minderjährige in Deutschland sind Raucher. Ohne die Beseitigung der wirtschaftlichen Gewinne aus der Verleitung von Kindern und Jugendlichen zum …
