Partner Facilitation and Partner Interference in Individuals' Weight Loss Goals
No full textDrawing on the logic of the relational turbulence model, this study examined the ways in which romantic partners facilitate and interfere with individuals’ weight loss goals. Participants (N = 122) described the ways in which their romantic partner had recently helped or hindered their weight loss at four times over the course of 2 months. We conducted a content analysis of responses to identify themes of partner facilitation (Research Question 1 [RQ1]) and partner interference (RQ2) in individuals’ weight loss goals. Results revealed seven themes of partner facilitation: (a) partner enabling diet, (b) motivation and encouragement, (c) emotional support and positive reinforcement, (d) exercising together, (e) partner enabling exercise, (f) dieting together, and (g) relationship influence and priorities. Four themes of partner interference emerged in the data: (a) inability to plan for healthy meals, (b) inability to control the food environment, (c) preventing or discouraging exercise, and (d) emotional or relational discouragement.Peer reviewe

William Morris and Edward Carpenter: back to the land and the simple life, 1880-1910
No full textThis thesis focuses on the influence of William Morris and Edward Carpenter on
aspects of the back-to-the-land and simple-life movements between the years 1880-
1910. Specifically, it seeks to define and explore the convergence and divergence of
both writers' return-to-nature ideology, and considers their influence on the
development of particular groups, who represented some of the multiplicity of backto-
the-land ideas and experiments current during this period. The thesis is divided
into three main parts; the intellectual framework for the study is broad, and takes into
account the historical context, the cultural significance and the character of the
material in each section.
The first part of the thesis undertakes an expository evaluation of key texts
from Morris's and Carpenter's political journalism, lectures and imaginative writing,
examining how both writers developed an appropriate language to convey their
social and political ideals. The critical method employed uses detailed textual
analysis, identifying and discussing the individual qualities of Morris's and
Carpenter's back-to-the-land writing, and reflecting on the differing emphases of
their utopian rhetoric. The second part of the research explores the take-up of
Morris's and Carpenter's ethos in four diverse and little known late-nineteenthcentury
journals, concerned with simple-life issues and a return to the land, namely
Seed-time, The New Order, Land and Labor and Land and People. It employs the
thinking of Pierre Bourdieu and Mikhail Bakhtin to establish an appropriate balance
between critical theory and empirical study. Lastly using a historical and descriptive
method the thesis uses archival material to examine the nature and extent of both
writers' influence on two Cotswold back-to-the-land experiments - the Whiteway
Colony and the Chipping Campden Guild of Handicraft. These provide a particular
opportunity to consider and compare the practical outcomes of return-to-the-land and
simple-life ideologies.
The study extends scholarship in this area by significantly re-appraising the
relationship between Morris's and Carpenter's back-to-the-land writing, and reinstating
Carpenter as a germinal influence. It also increases our understanding of the
values and function of the journals in the study, and establishes an insight into the
wider cultural assimilation of both writers' ideals

Precision dicing and micromilling of silica for photonics
No full textThis thesis focuses on the development of precision dicing and micromilling machining techniques for silica photonic applications. Comparison is given between the studied and conventional techniques for machining silica, such as photolithography and etching, laser machining, etc..Precision dicing was used to create low loss input/output facets in the silica-on-silicon platform. It was demonstrated that ductile type dicing can produce facets in a silica-on-silicon substrate with a smooth, mirror like finish. The facet had a surface roughness (Sa) of 4.9 nm, a factor of ~7.5 improvement on previously reported roughnesses. An individual silica/air average interface loss, caused by surface roughness scatter, was calculated to be -0.63 dB and -0.76 dB for the TE and TM polarisations, respectively.Utilising dicing, glass photonic microcantilever devices are produced with integrated Bragg gratings and waveguides. Two cantilever interrogations methods have been shown; one utilising a single Bragg grating and the other using a pair of spectrally matched Bragg gratings to form a Fabry-Pérot interferometer. These cantilever devices were subjected to physical stimulus of external pressure change and profilometer actuation.A precision micromill was built by the author. Precision micromilling was used to remove the cladding material from the silica-on-silicon platform, for evanescent field access. By accessing the ductile milling regime, the mill enabled three-dimensional machining of flat, smooth, chip free grooves in silica. A groove with an average surface roughness (Sa) of 3.0 nm was measured, with a depth of cut of 17 µm. This micromilling method produces grooves that are seven times smoother and cut depths forty times deeper, than previously reported in the literature
