Unemployment in the City of Brandon

Brown, Gordon W. 04 December 2018 (has links)
Preface: An unprecedented amount of unemployment throughout the western world challenges men to use their utmost intelligence to combat this monstrous social evil. yet without an understanding of all the available facts concerned, the problem is incapable of solution. The scope of this thesis is confined to the unemployed in the city of Brandon during the month of September, 1931. The purpose is to present certain aspects of the personal circumstances of their lives, and to discuss the bearing of these circumstances on the local unemployment problem. This study is based on the analysis of the registration of the unemployed of the city of Brandon that was made during the week beginning September 21st, 1931. The statistical method of approach was used both in securing the necessary factual basis and in exploring causual relationships. / Thesis / Master of Arts (MA)

A Quadratic, Time-Domain Strip Theory Method for Predicting Global Ship Structure Response in Waves

Marlantes, Kyle Elias 01 May 2017 (has links)
This paper outlines the theory, development, validation, and some results of a quadratic strip theory method to predict the global structural response of the KRISO hull geometry due to regular waves in the time-domain. The method attempts to capture nonlinear effects of the dynamic problem due to time-varying underwater hull volume imparted by waves and vessel motions. These effects are formulated by drawing a relationship between the coefficients, 𝐴33, 𝐵33, and 𝐶33 and the sectional draft, 𝑇𝑠. Additional nonlinearities are introduced by allowing for a flexible hull girder, and the inclusion of structural damping. Validation is facilitated by running test computations and comparing the linear and nonlinear results to segmented model test data. It is found that the predicted results are validated by the model data, and that nonlinear effects account for a significant increase in predicted bending moment.

Shaping spaces in challenged places: what to do with The Flats; Brandon's flood-prone area

Eidick, Ryan 16 February 2017 (has links)
The severity and frequency of flooding-related catastrophes are increasing, and lands adjacent to rivers that were formerly the hub for city growth and commerce now face constant threats of flooding. As flood risks have become more at the forefront of legislative consciousness, with governments increasing flood-protection and mitigation measures for flood-prone areas, landowners within such areas are left with little support and direction for their lands. In exploring the issues facing landowners within flood-prone lands, this practicum focuses on whether governments should be directly involved in finding solutions for landowners to ensure a situation where both private landowners and governments benefit. The research concludes that development within flood-prone areas should be avoided, and that municipalities should, given adequate capacity and ability, relocate existing residents from flood-prone areas to repurpose the area for flood-mitigation measures. The research recommends that the City of Brandon become a member, and participate in the Red River Basin Commission, while also exploring opportunities to play a leadership role in the implementation of a similar commission for the Assiniboine River Basin. / February 2017

Traduction de néologismes en littérature fantastique - Étude de cas sur la traduction française de The Stormlight Archive de Brandon Sanderson

Boismenu-Lavoie, Annie 14 January 2022 (has links)
La traduction des néologismes présents dans la littérature fantastique est un sujet qui a, au mieux de nos connaissances, été très peu étudié. Jusqu'à présent, la plupart des recherches à ce sujet sont des études de cas précises qui sont souvent difficilement applicables à l'ensemble du domaine. Pourtant, ces néologismes peuvent représenter un enjeu considérable pour les traducteurs qui y ont affaire. Nous jugeons donc pertinent, considérant la popularité du genre fantastique, d'explorer quelles stratégies de traduction sont les plus efficaces dans ce contexte. Nous nous servons considérons représentative du publié e au XXI e siècle : , comme base pour notre étude de cas sous genre fantastique, d'une œuvre que nous de la high fantasy The Stormlight Archive telle qu'elle est de Brandon Sanderson. Nous recensons les néologismes formels contenus dans les trois premiers tomes publiés et traduits de cette série et analysons les stratégies employées par la traductrice Mélanie Fazi pour les rendre en français , de même que l'efficacité de ces traductions. Nous avançons que dans le cadre d'une œuvre de fantasy se déroulant dans un univers inventé, un postulat de traduction d'orientation cibliste est à prioriser. Les stratégies néologiques utilisées en anglais n'ont pas nécessairement à être imitées en français, et plusieurs variétés de néologismes français peuvent être créés à partir d'un même type de construction morphologique anglaise. Nous présentons plusieurs exemples de stratégies possibles et analysons leurs forces et leurs faiblesses respectives, autant d'un point de vue morphologique que pratique. Nous nous servons des informations ainsi amassées pour rédiger ce mémoire, qui, nous l'espérons, pourra servir de guide pour aider les futurs traducteurs de romans fantastiques à traduire les néologismes auxquels ils seront confrontés. Notre guide ne se veut toutefois ni exhaustif ni prescriptif, et ne constitue qu'un document pouvant servir de soutien aux traducteurs. / The translation of neologisms featured in fantasy literature has, to the best of our knowledge, been the subject of few studies. Until now, most research on this topic consists of specific case studies that can hardly be applied to the entire field. Nonetheless, these neologisms represent a great challenge for translators. We therefore deem pertinent, considering the popularity of the fantasy genre, to explore which translation strategies can be the most efficient in this context. As the basis of the case study, we selected a work we consider representative of the current high fantasy subgenre: The Stormlight Archive by Brandon Sanderson. We identify the formal neologisms featured in the first three books of the series and analyze the strategies used by translator Mélanie Fazi to render them into French, as well as the efficiency of these translations. We argue that, with a fantasy work set an imaginary universe, a domesticating approach should be prioritized. Indeed, neologizing strategies used in English do not necessarily have to be reproduced in French, and many types of neologisms in French can be created from one type of morphological construction in English. We discuss several examples of possible strategies and analyze their respective strengths and weaknesses, both from morphological and practical standpoints. Our goal is that the information contained in this thesis can serve as a guide for future translators faced with neologisms in fantasy. However, this guide is neither exhaustive nor prescriptive; it is but a document aiming to support translators.

Transport et combustion de particules générées par un feu de végétation

Sardoy, Nicolas 28 November 2007 (has links) (PDF)
Dans une optique de compréhension et de maîtrise du phénomène de sautes de feu (propagation d'incendie par projection de débris végétaux enflammés ou incandescents, appelés brandons), un modèle physique simulant le transport et la combustion des brandons lors d'un feu de forêt est développé. Le sous-modèle de combustion décrit la plupart des processus de dégradation thermique: pyrolyse du bois sec, combustion et gazéification du carbone résiduel, transferts thermiques... Le sous-modèle aérodynamique tient compte des phénomènes de traînée et de portance, ainsi que les effets de rotation du brandon. Le comportement des brandons est analysé dans deux configurations de feu de végétation: - un groupe d'arbres en feu où la zone de combustion et le panache de gaz chauds sont obtenus à partir d'un modèle diphasique 3D multi-classes soumis à un vent latéral; - une ligne d'arbres en feu où l'écoulement gazeux 2D est approché par un modèle intégral des équations de conservation dans le panache de fumées. Les calculs permettent de dégager l'influence des principales caractéristiques de l'incendie (intensité du feu, vitesse du vent) et des propriétés physiques initiales des brandons (diamètre, épaisseur, masse volumique, teneur en charbon) sur leur distance parcourue et leur masse restante au sol, ainsi que sur les critères d'extinction et de chute des brandons. Les résultats révèlent l'existence d'une distribution bi-modale au sol des brandons: - la plupart arrivant enflammés sur la végétation réceptive près du feu et présentent un grand danger de départ de feu; - et les autres tombant à l'état de braises loin en avant du front de feu. Une loi de distribution est obtenue pour les brandons à courte distance et permet d'estimer, entre autres, la distance moyenne de sautes.

The closure of Brandon Mental Health Centre: a case study and ten-year follow-up of individuals discharged from 1990-1998

Carr, Rachel 28 August 2012 (has links)
During the last 50 years, there has been a transfer of care for individuals living with mental disorders from predominately institutional settings to predominately community settings. The purpose of this research was to document the closure of Brandon Mental Health Centre (BMHC) and to look at long-term outcomes for discharged individuals. These objectives were met by interviewing key people involved in the closure and through analysis of administrative data. To support individuals after BMHC closed, new services were developed in four priority areas: adult inpatient and crisis response services, adult rehabilitation and consumer support services, psychogeriatric services, and child and adolescent services. Visits to a general practitioner for a mental disorder by individuals discharged from BMHC decreased significantly over the follow-up period while visits to a psychiatrist increased significantly. Mortality rates, physician visits, and hospital admissions were higher in former BMHC residents than in a matched cohort.
