Permaculture As An Ecopedagogy Curriculum And Alternative Theory Of Development : An Exploration Of The Ecological Consciousness Of Rural Western Kenyan Farmers Using Photo-Voice With A Farmer Field School During Covid-19, David Yisrael Epstein
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
This dissertation explores two main questions of farmers in Western Kenya – how they see farming as a creative process and their role in that – and how change is made possible in their community. I explore stories from farmers themselves, using photographs they have taken and stories they tell about those photographs, which answer these two questions. In doing so, I attempt to understand the degree to which collective action has taken root in a community exposed to a permaculture based curriculum within a farmer field school. It also importantly seeks to understand what happens when such a curriculum …
Using Systems Archetypes And Generic Structures To Support Water Resource Management Studies : The Case Of Cropping Pattern Change In New Mexico State, Babak Bahaddin
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
A wide range of managerial problems are similar in nature, and yet they continuously appear in different forms and in different geographical locations. Compared to other sciences, it seems that in the field of management, managers have a hard time facing these similar problems. Part of this issues is caused by the extreme complexity of the systems and another part is caused by the lack of a universal language with which managers can communicate their lessons. This dissertation offers a set of tools that have been previously manufactured in systems science, and more specifically in System Dynamics.
Sequentially-Closed And Forward-Closed String Rewriting Systems, Yu Zhang
Sequentially-Closed And Forward-Closed String Rewriting Systems, Yu Zhang
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
In this dissertation we introduce the new concept of sequentially-closed string rewriting systems which generalizes forward-closed string rewriting systems and monadic string rewriting systems. We also investigate subclasses and properties of finite and regular sequentially-closed systems and forward-closed systems.

A Study Of Reticle Non-Flatness Induced Image Placement Error In Extreme Ultraviolet Lithography, Sudharshanan Raghunathan
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
As the semiconductor industry continues scaling devices to smaller sizes, the need for next generation lithography technology for fabricating these small structures has always been at the forefront. Over the past few years, conventional optical lithography technology which has adopted a series of resolution enhancement techniques to support the scaling needs is expected to run out of steam in the near future. Extreme Ultra Violet lithography (EUVL) is being actively pursued by the semiconductor industry as one of the most promising next generation lithographic technologies. Most of the issues unique to EUVL arise from the use of 13.5 nm light …
Continuous Glucose Monitoring Microsensor With A Nanoscale Conducting Matrix And Redox Mediator, Daniel Pesantez
Continuous Glucose Monitoring Microsensor With A Nanoscale Conducting Matrix And Redox Mediator, Daniel Pesantez
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
The major limiting factor in kidney clinical transplantation is the shortage of transplantable organs. The current inability to distinguish viability from non-viability on a prospective basis represents a major obstacle in any attempt to expand organ donor criteria. Consequently, a way to measure and monitor a relevant analyte to assess kidney viability is needed. For the first time, the initial development and characterization of a metabolic microsensor to assess kidney viability is presented. The rate of glucose consumption appears to serve as an indicator of kidney metabolism that may distinguish reversible from irreversible kidney damage. The proposed MetaSense (Metabolic Sensor) …
