Parametric study of an elastic singularity-based frequency doubler for concatenation
No full textThe use of elastic frequency multipliers presents the ideal platform to address the coupling between the footprint and range of motion of elastic mechanisms. By transmitting unidirectional into reciprocating motion they efficiently increase the range of motion without a huge compromise in size. In this thesis, an elasticfrequency doubler based on an eight-bar mechanism that exploits the displacement around a singularity to double the frequency is presented. Higher frequency multiplications can be achieved by concatenating this mechanism, surpassing previous designs in the literature. To facilitate effective concatenation, criteria for optimization were established and a design study was conducted to determine the optimal geometrical parameters of the mechanism. The utilization of not only the actuation capabilities but simultaneously leveraging the inherently stored strain energy during operation has the potential to serve as the foundation for a novel group of architected materials. The embodiment of both functionalities makes these architected materials highly desirable for control in autonomous robots where, through the exploitation of close synergy and decrease in dissipation, this multifunctionality could increase the efficiency in usage of the usually limited space and available energy.https://github.com/Luuk-Samuels/ThesisLuuk GitHub page containing all relevant extra information like movies, datasets, scripts, and figures.Mechanical Engineering | Precision and Microsystems Engineerin
Shadows of the therapy relationship
No full textThe author argues that the relational turn in psychotherapy has led to moralism, conformism and hypocrisy on the part of many clinicians. Relationality cannot engage with the phenomenon of solitude in a satisfactory manner leading to a potential flight from the unconscious. The author proposes that there is more than one therapy relationship to sondier and that the key task is to hold their simultaneity in mind. He proposes a methodology by which this might be done. The author argues that what is being discussed will be incomprehensible in terms of the project of state regulation of psychotherapy currently being proposed by the British Government
To Continue the Norm
No full textAuthor Mia Samuels grew up with many privileges, but it wasn’t always that way for her family. In this personal narrative, Samuels documents her grandmother’s efforts to escape the poverty of her youth and offers insight into the transformative power of education. Brought up to take pride in her own academic gifts, Samuels is a successful and confident student, until a tough high school teacher shakes her belief in her ability. Ultimately, however, Samuels decides she won’t be deterred from her goals and commits herself to protecting the privileges her family has worked so hard to secure by furthering her own education

The Uses of Historic Space in Europe: Local Context Versus Globalization
No full textThis paper introduces us to an interesting discussion on the impacts of globalization on European historic spaces. The author points out some of the problems in trying to impose trendy design solutions such as new urbanism. Ivor Samuels is a visiting professor of urban design at the CRP department (Spring 2007)
Doctoral Proposal Writing: A guide for international students
No full textDoctoral Proposal Writing is an essential guide for current and prospective international doctoral students wishing to apply and study for a PhD in the UK, and other countries where courses are conducted in English. The book supports students in choosing a suitable research topic and writing an effective proposal for investigating this topic across a range of forms of doctoral research, across several disciplines, with an emphasis on international students and students with English as an additional language. The author offers guidance for prospective doctoral students in their applications to study for a doctorate, in writing their initial proposals once they have been enrolled and, if necessary, in writing subsequent extended proposals. The book also includes content on developing academic writing, including paragraph writing, argumentation, doing literature reviews, constructing methodologies and using evidence and referencing. The book ends by covering giving a proposal presentation, how to get the most out of supervisory relationships and thinking about the next steps in your research. By giving insights into the doctoral journey, and using real-life examples of good-quality doctoral proposals by international students, this is an essential resource for anyone looking to study for a PhD in the UK or anglophone countries
THE SPARTAN SCHOOL OF INSTITUTIONAL ECONOMICS AT MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY
No full textHeterodox scholarship at Michigan State University (MSU) was influenced by the institutional economics of John R. Commons at Wisconsin. But it was far from monolithic and had many other sources and originality of its own. A case can be made that the center of institutional economics moved across Lake Michigan from Madison to East Lansing and blossomed in the second half of the 20th century with such Wisconsin Ph.D's as Raleigh Barlowe, Warren Samuels, Allan Schmid, Harry Trebing, and others. Equally important in making MSU a center of institutional economics were scholars from other institutional backgrounds such as Paul Strassmann, economic development; Robert Solo, science and technology; James Shaffer, agricultural marketing and consumer behavior; Nicholas Mercuro, law and economics; and others.Institutional and Behavioral Economics,
