Static and Fatigue Performance of Oriented Strandboard as Upholstered Furniture Frame StockDemirel, Samet 12 May 2012 (has links)
This study investigated the lateral shear resistance of multi-staple joints, static and fatigue bending moment resistances of stapled gusset-plate joints, and fatigue bending performance of full size sofa structural members in three oriented strandboard (OSB) materials. It is concluded that the lateral shear resistance capacity of multi-staple joints in OSB can be predicted with power equations including single-staple lateral resistance capacity, number of staples, and material density. The bending moment resistance of stapled gusset plate joints in OSB can be predicted by mechanical models including the lateral resistance property of multi-staple joints. The static moment capacity study of a gusset-plate joint concluded that its maximum moment resistance is 2 times of its corresponding proportional limit moment resistance. Experimental results indicated that there was no significant difference in lateral shear resistance among vertically-aligned multi-staple joints constructed of three OSB materials even though there were significant differences in lateral resistance among single-staple joints in these three materials. However, there were significant differences in lateral resistances among horizontally-aligned multi-staple joints in three OSB materials. Fatigue test results concluded that the ratio of static to passed fatigue moment capacity of gusset-plate joints was 2.6. The proposed equations reasonably estimated fatigue life of less brittle OSB materials subjected to cyclic stepped and constant fatigue loads but underestimated the brittle OSB material. The ratios of material modulus of rupture to passed fatigue stress were 2.17 and 2.25 for cyclic stepped and constant cyclic tests, respectively.

半導體相關產業協會經營策略之探討以SEMI與GSA的比較為例俞艾玲 Unknown Date (has links)
本研究希望藉由探討半導體產業發展的過程中，透過兩個半導體相關的產業協會，GSA (former FSA (Fabless Semiconductor Association)，now Global Semiconductor Alliance) 『全球半導體聯盟』，以及SEMI (Semiconductor Equipment & Materials International) 『半導體設備及材料協會』的成立及發展，來探討在半導體產業發展及產業區塊由歐美往亞洲地區移動的過程中，兩產業協會所扮演的角色及其經營策略之探討與比較。企盼透過半導體產業成長及產業演變的過程中，透過深入剖析兩產業協會GSA以及 SEMI，如何扮演起產業與學界和政府部門間的橋樑，以及如何透過扮演溝通協調的角色，以提供其中立且有效的運作機制，進而促進廠商間技術的交流，並隨著半導體的產業脈動由歐美轉進亞洲地區，推進其組織及服務的國際化及全球性。
半導體產業發展至今，約略才半個世紀左右，兩個產業協會GSA以及SEMI也伴隨著其所代表產業族群的崛起，分別於1994年以及1970年於美國加州成立，透過正式設立組織進而提供各項會員服務，以成為其所代表產業族群的喉舌。同時隨著半導體產業區塊由歐美移往亞洲地區的過程中，此二組織又是如何進行其國際化的佈局及全球化的策略，進而配合其會員的國際化，滿足並達成服務會員全球化的目標等，都將在本研究中對兩組織的經營策略有相關的整理及分析。
本研究的目的，期望透過半導體IC設計產業與半導體設備及材料業產業兩產業特性不同的探討，來剖析隨此兩產業發展所應運而生的兩個產業協會GSA以及SEMI，由兩組織其成立的時間、國際化的時程、國際化的策略、會務的運作模式以及其所提供的會務重點和產品特性、提供其會員廠商的半導體產業研究方向的異同等等，以不同的角度比較此二組織之經營策略。
最終期盼透過本研究的分析及整理，來解讀兩組織的經營策略及運作模式，以及如何透過其國際化的推行策略，來拓展及全球據點，以成為一國際性的產業協會而非地區性的組織，進而能提供給其他產業協會運作及組織欲國際化時之參考。

Beyond the ‘Bedrooms of the Nation’: An Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis of Canadian Adolescents with Lesbian, Gay, or Bisexual-identified ParentsMcNeilly, Kenneth 17 December 2012 (has links)
Although parenting by lesbian, gay, and bisexual-identified (LGB) individuals has attracted increasing research attention over the past few decades, relatively little focus has been given to the personal identity development of adolescents raised in such families. There is scant qualitative data that describes the phenomenon from the viewpoint of Canadian adolescents; this study aims to give voice to those with parents that identify as non-heterosexual. In semi- structured interviews, participants were asked to explain how they made sense of being from an LGB-led family, particularly within the contexts of school and Canadian society, and of what unique needs they perceived families like theirs to have.
For inclusion in the study, each participant needed to have at least one LGB-identified parent. Additionally, they needed to be a current or recent student in an Ontario secondary school. A convenience sampling method was used to locate nine (N=9) participants. Three of the participants were male, and six were female. All participants were Canadian-born English speakers who ranged in age from 13 to 19 years old, with a mean age of 17.5.
The interview schedule was constructed with input from existing narrative psychology literature, consultation with fellow students and faculty, and inspiration from other semi- structured protocols such as The Life Story Interview (McAdams, 2008). Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) was employed to organize and evaluate responses.
Thematic findings were organized within three domains. First, family-related themes were considered, such as interviewees’ responses to parental disclosures of an LGB identity, responses of extended family members, and perceived advantages of having LGB-identified parents. Second, school-related themes were found, such as how children choose to disclose their parents’ sexual identity to peers. Finally, themes related to queer identity were considered, since many participants revealed their parents’ sexual identity intersected with other narratives (e.g., being Canadian, being heterosexual, the master narrative of heteronormativity, etc.) to create multiple layers to their own sense of self.
The study endeavours to add a qualitative approach to the literature so that Canadian adolescents’ narratives are represented in the overall understanding of the phenomenon of LGB- led families. It also has potential to impact the development of school policies and curricula and to enrich the quality of life for LGB-led families.

Albright’s Hereditary Osteodystrophy Associated with Cerebellar Pilocytic Astrocytoma: Coincidence or Genetic Relationship?Sobottka, Stephan B., Hübner, Angela, Haase, Markus, Ahrens, Wiebke, Rupprecht, Edgar, Schackert, Hans K., Schackert, Gabriele 20 February 2014 (has links) (PDF)
Albright’s hereditary osteodystrophy (AHO) is a rare inherited disease characterized by skeletal abnormalities, short stature, and, in some cases, resistance to parathyroid hormone, resulting in pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP). Heterozygous inactivating mutations of the GNAS1 gene are responsible for reduced activity of the alpha subunit of the Gs protein (GSα), a protein that mediates hormone signal transduction across cell membranes. Gsα is also known to have oncogenic potentials, leading to the development of human pituitary tumors and Leydig cell tumors. Here, we report the 1st case, a 3.5-year-old girl, with classic AHO phenotype and PHP type 1A associated with a cerebellar pilocytic astrocytoma. Coincidence or genetic relationships of both diseases are discussed according to molecular findings and current literature. / Dieser Beitrag ist mit Zustimmung des Rechteinhabers aufgrund einer (DFG-geförderten) Allianz- bzw.
