Denna rapport skrivs dels i syfte av att ge en processbeskrivning av tillverkningen av en sekretär, där de flesta momenten finns dokumenterade med bilder och beskrivande text. Ett annat syfte med rapporten är att dokumentera och analysera processen om hur det färska virket som skulle användas till projektet hanterades. Två angreppssätt undersöks för att förädla det färska virket: färskträsnickring och virkestorkning, och resultaten av dessa praktiska undersökningar analyseras. Projektet resulterade i denna rapport och färdigställandet av möbeln. Virkestorkningen blev med relativt dåligt resultat medans färskträsnickringen blev av gott resultat.

The Kennetcook-Windsor basin is a part of the large composite Maritimes Basin in Atlantic Canada. Subsurface seismic data indicate a very complex basinal history in terms of syn-depositional deformation and superimposition of numerous episodes of fault reactivation in the basin. Faults mapped and correlated at the tops of basement, the Horton Bluff, and the Cheverie formations can be subdivided into six categories. On the basis of interpretation of seismic reflection geometries and fault modeling, at least six episodes of deformation are suggested in the Kennetcook-Windsor basin. Flower structures mapped in the subsurface clearly indicate a strike-slip setting that remained active during the entire history of the basin. Structural collapse features represented by high angle chaotic seismic reflections within the Windsor Group indicate evaporite withdrawal that played a key role in the creation of accommodation space for the Pennsylvanian sediments in the basin. A Two-way-time (TWT) structure map at the top of basement shows tilted fault-blocks stepping down to north and northeast. The TWT maps at the tops of the Horton Bluff and the Cheverie formations show a structural low in the central area and rising in the northeast, west, and south. However, the structural low on the top of the Cheverie Formation is narrower and indicates that the faults in the northeast were inverted more than those mapped on the top of the Horton Bluff Formation. Comparison of the thickness maps of the Horton Bluff and the Cheverie formations indicate an overall thickening in the north and northeast. Episodic dextral strike-slip movement on the basin-bounding fault (Minas Fault) controlled the basement architecture and the development of the basin. Probably oblique movement (SW-NE) on the local subsurface faults caused compartmentalization of the tilted fault-blocks within the Horton and Windsor groups.

This thesis looks at the state of marriage equality activism in the wake of the Supreme Court’s June 26, 2013 decisions in United States v. Windsor and Hollingsworth v. Perry. Some scholars, such as Gerald Rosenberg, argue that Supreme Court decisions can never affect “significant social change,” either directly or indirectly, while others argue that such decisions can be hugely important in directly affecting policy. My focus is on how activist organizations, which have a substantial track record of directly affecting policy, are influenced by changes to the political environment stemming from major Court decisions regarding social issues. After examining how past litigative efforts such as Baehr v. Lewin and Goodridge v. Department of Public Health have affected the LGBT rights movement, and marriage equality activism specifically, I discuss how organizational strategies have changed minimally, but the political environment in which marriage equality activism is operating has shifted quite a bit, especially in terms of framing and legal precedent. I conclude that Court decisions can indeed have a significant impact on social change by affecting the way in which it is possible for activists on both sides of the issue to shape and deliver their message to the general public, legislators, and courts in future litigative efforts.

Since the fuel crisis of the 1970s, aerodynamic design has become essential to the vehicle design process in order to reduce fuel consumption and lower emissions as well as (in more recent years) increase the range on vehicles with alternative powertrains. Production car manufacturers have developed shape optimisation techniques that have generated significant improvements over the years however, in order to achieve further gains, a deeper understanding of the fundamental flow structures around vehicles must be achieved. This thesis reports the findings of three studies that aim to understand how the base pressure is manipulated on vehicle like geometries by applying shape optimisations. The base pressure typically contributes approximately 30% of the overall vehicle drag on production vehicles and so presents an opportunity for significant drag saving. A fundamental One-Box model was used to investigate how changing fore-body drag can effect the base pressure and wake topology at varying ground clearances. It was found that at high ground clearances the total drag changes were generated by base pressure changes however when the model was lowered into ground effect the fore-body and skin friction drag produced significantly larger changes than the base pressure. Analysis of the unsteady results showed that with a thinner boundary layer over the model the unsteadiness in the wake was increased. A second study was then conducted on a generic vehicle geometry, the Windsor model, where the lower separation was manipulated through the use of different underbody profiles . As the lower boundary layer on the model was thickened the lower recirculation region grew and lowered the pressure on the base. This was also seen to increase the unsteadiness of the pressures recorded on the base when the upper and lower shear layers were of significantly different strengths. Finally, a rear end optimisation was conducted on the Windsor model using high aspect ratio tapers on the top and bottom trailing edges. It was seen that the amount of downwash or upwash created by the tapers acted on the wake balance which moved the impingement region on the base. This changed the near wall velocities of the wake flow and resulted in changing base pressures. Overall the work has shown that, by controlling the flow conditions at separation, the base pressure can be modified, particularly by altering the relative strengths of the upper and lower shear layers and the impingement location on the base.

After an extensive survey of available literature in Readers Theatre and Shakespeare's The Merry Wives of Windsor, the purpose for this thesis was to cut and convert The Merry Wives into the twentieth century idiom from the authorized version found in the 1623 folio.

This study was conducted to investigate the urban geochemistry of the city of Windsor (Ontario) and to provide added source apportionment information to work being carried out by the Canadian government. The goal of this study was to investigate the distribution, spatial variation and sources of manganese in urban Windsor soil. The literature indicates that human exposure to high levels of manganese, via inhalation, can cause respiratory and/or neurological effects. At the outset of the present study it was first hypothesized that vehicular traffic was the dominant source of anthropogenic manganese. An alternative hypothesis was that there were multiple anthropogenic sources of manganese in Windsor. The sample collection scheme was designed to determine (1) the current and background soil concentrations of manganese in Windsor, (2) the spatial distribution of manganese in order to reveal sources of manganese, and (3) the manganese content of moss-sequestered airborne particles, which can potentially deposit onto the soil surface, using low-technology biomonitoring. The first phase of the study consisted of a preliminary soil survey which identified elevated areas of soil manganese concentrations. During this survey, the field efficiency of a field portable X-ray fluorescence (FPXRF) instrument, as well as sample preparation methods were evaluated. Efficiency of the FPXRF was determined by comparison to ICP-MS, a traditional trace element analysis method. The preliminary soil survey identified several areas of elevated (ranging from 884 to 2390 ppm) soil manganese which were further investigated during the second, more complete, soil survey. The moss biomonitoring technique of using moss bags was used to collect airborne particles for semi-quantitative analysis. Analysis of soil samples included total manganese and other trace elements, pH, moisture and carbon content, and manganese speciation. Urban Windsor soil manganese distribution revealed both natural and anthropogenic sources of soil manganese and three distinct soil sample types, transect, baseline and natural. In general, manganese in Windsor had a west-to-east trend of decreasing levels in soil and moss-sequestered airborne particles. The latter showed a modern-day elemental signature while the former (collocated soil) a legacy elemental signature. It was concluded that both the FPXRF instrument and the moss biomonitoring technique can be useful screening tools in studies of urban environments.
