Ukrainian women emigrants in the "literature of migration": literary narratives through a linguistic lens
DownloadSpring 2021
This dissertation explores evaluations of Ukrainian emigration and women emigrants in works of fiction. Between 2000 and 2013, more than 20 literary works representing contemporary women’s writing about Ukrainian women’s emigration were published both in Ukraine and abroad. These women-authored...

ULF Waves in the Magnetosphere and their Association with Magnetopause Instabilities and Oscillations
DownloadFall 2012
This thesis addresses the question of excitation of ULF waves by magnetopause instabilities and oscillations. Given proper spacecraft orientations and near magnetopause encounters, the CLUSTER spacecraft mission is used to resolve the space-time ambiguity inherent in a single spacecraft...

In yeast, subtelomeric chromatin is silenced and positioned at the inner nuclear membrane (INM) through the interaction of proteins that comprise the heterotrimeric SIR complex with INM proteins. Telomeres reside primarily at the INM using partially redundant tethering mechanisms mediated by the...

Ultra Low Frequency Waves and their Association with Magnetic Substorms and Expansion Phase Onset
DownloadFall 2009
This thesis concerns the study of Ultra Low Frequency (ULF) waves during magnetospheric substorms. A wavelet algorithm which characterises magnetic ULF waves during substorm onset is presented. The algorithm is validated by comparing the spatial and temporal location of ULF wave onset to...

Ultra Wideband Radar Technology and Signal Processing Methods for the Multiphase Flow Monitoring and Tunnel Boring Operations
DownloadSpring 2024
Ultra-wideband (UWB) radar technology can provide solutions for many existing challenges in the industry. In this research, we tackle three existing problems in the oil industry and tunnel construction operations. First, microwave imaging and associated signal processing techniques are proposed...

Fall 2016
This thesis explores the development and preliminary operation of a new test method for roller and roller path arrangements on ultra-class mining shovels. The lack of existing lab-scale test methods discourage significant change, and restrict the development of the roller and roller path to minor...
