Interhouse: A Place for Growing up and Growing AdultsMakhamatova, Nilufar 01 January 2016 (has links)
Society has become increasingly segregated by age which lessens the opportunities for communication between generations. Before the Internet, children and adolescents typically learned through traditional means - their parents, school teachers, and life experiences. Adults believed they were capable of recognizing and addressing the needs of children and adolescents. (Strom & Strom, 2012) Now, the global media is widely accessed by people of all ages which gives it the ability to influence a large population in different ways. This has led to children and adolescents being more heavily influenced and educated by the media than other traditional sources. Adolescents, in particular, are more reliant on each other for conversation, feedback, and advice. (Kovarik, 2011) Retirees, on average, are more active now than they were 20 years ago and 54% of seniors (age 60+) are considering working after retirement age (typically 65) which is up from 45% in a 2014 poll. Of the seniors polled, 81% say they will work part-time while 19% say they will work full-time.

Geoffrey Hill : poetry, criticism and philosophyPestell, Alex January 2012 (has links)
This thesis examines the role played by philosophy in the poetry and criticism of Geoffrey Hill. Despite countless references to philosophy throughout Hill's critical authorship, there exists no study of any length on this vital aspect of his thought. Through close readings of his poetry, criticism, and archival material, I attempt to demonstrate that philosophy has played a more crucial role in Hill's work than has hitherto been assumed. Hill's sceptical attitude to philosophy is intimately connected with his understanding of poetry as a sensate form of cognition. My thesis examines the ways Hill's poetry and criticism responds to the challenges imposed upon this scepticism by a tradition of philosophy that emphasises the importance of the aesthetic to its analyses of modernity's contradictions. I argue that a tradition of Anglophone Idealist thinkers, from S.T. Coleridge, via T.H. Green and F.H. Bradley, to Gillian Rose, is of sustained relevance to Hill's work, shaping the way he thinks about politics, ethics and literature. In particular, German Idealism's attempts to negotiate universality and particularity via an emphasis on the aesthetic bases of critical thought lay the groundwork for an understanding of poetry as a mode of cognition. Reading Hill's poetry from For the Unfallen to Oraclau/Oracles, I try to show the ways in which problems traditionally conceived of as philosophical can be cognised in prosody and syntax. In part a vindication of Hill's elevation of poetry over philosophy, these readings also show the degree to which Hill's ‘craft of vision' is indebted to conceptual and aesthetic models supplied by philosophy.

Problemas espectrales en el grafenoSolano Palma, Viviana January 2017 (has links)
Doctor en Ciencias de la Ingeniería, Mención en Modelación Matemática / El objetivo de esta Tesis es analizar el espectro de un operador Hamiltoniano definido en la red hexagonal del grafeno. Se describen completamente las regiones donde las soluciones son acotadas y no acotadas, se define una base que permite determinar las soluciones en toda la red hexagonal y se estudia el soporte de ciertas funciones definidas en esta red. / Este trabajo ha sido parcialmente financiado por Becas Conicyt, el Centro de Modelamiento Matemático (CMM) y el Instituto de Ciencias Matemáticas (ICMAT)

Hill Slope Viability for Industrial Viticultural Development in the South Island of New ZealandGrose, Daniel Thomas January 2013 (has links)
Hill slopes in wine producing regions of the South Island of New Zealand are rarely developed for viticulture despite having the capability. Viticultural development in these wine producing regions is primarily limited to flat areas despite the benefits of hill slopes that can increase productivity and variability of the grapes grown. The objective of this study is to assess the viability and development of hill slopes in the South Island of New Zealand with regards to industrial viticultural development. Site investigation in combination with background research identified five fundamental characteristics (i.e., elevation, slope angle, aspect, temperature and rainfall) that are required for proper assessment as well as industrial viticultural practices and concerns specific to the South Island. A slope angle of 15° was determined to be suitable for viticultural development as this angle is the maximum angle for machinery to work and operate safely. Additionally, this slope angle encourages the benefits that hill slopes provide and slope stability issues are limited. GIS suitability mapping demonstrates that ~0.7% of the South Island of New Zealand is viable for hill slope viticultural development using elevation, slope angle, aspect, temperature and rainfall characteristics to produce the maps. Temperature and sunlight relationships via data logger analysis support the various benefits that hill slope development provides, including increasing the number of growing degree days (GDD) by 1, increasing air and soil temperature and increasing sunlight exposure by 3,000 Lux. Overall, findings identify the extent and benefits that hill slopes may provide in major grape regions within the South Island of New Zealand.
