Andre Gide and the Negro, 1940
No full textBecause it is generally known that Andre Gide is one of France's most influential contemporary writers, there is no need to justify a study based on his works. Desirous of obtaining the opinion of an influential white author concerning Negroid people and learning his activities in their behalf, the writer of this thesis undertook the study, Andre Gide end the Negro. The value of such a study to the American Negro lies primarily in (1) a better acquaintance with and appreciation for one whose interest in darker people has resulted in a tangible contribution; (2) a knowledge of the condition of a people, who, though distant in territory, are kindred in race, and (3) a challenge for scholastic accomplishment. The method of procedure was a careful analysis of Voyage au Congo and Retour du Tchad supplemented by collateral readings. To secure information concerning Mr. Gide's official investigation in 1938 of the natives' educational facilities in Senegal, a letter was sent him. Despite the anxiety which must be his because of the present war in which his country is involved, the eminent author found time to respond. His reply is quoted on page thirty-one of this study. Grateful acknowledgment is hereby given both Mr. Gide for his amicable letter and Professor Cook, who made such a contact possible. The various factors for the evolution of Gide's interest in Negroid people are shown in Chapter I. Chapter II contains a discussion of the colonial abuses existing in French Equatorial Africa exposed by Gide and his efforts to eradicate these. Through Chapter III one learns the author's personal impression of the morale and intelligence of Negroid people. In Chapter IV an interpretation of Gide's literary art in Voyage au Gang and Retour du Tchad is presented. The results are summarized in the conclusion

The relation between birds and wind turbines and other aerial obstacles. A literature survey. - NINA Report 413. 167 pp.
The report is a printed version of an internet-based reference database on the relation between birds and bats and aerial obstacles such as wind turbines, utility structures, towers and buildings. The database will be updated regularly, and is accessible via EndNote Web. At the date of printing it contains 1224 references on these topics. The database can also be used as a search engine for other databases such as ISI Web of knowledge, Biosis and others, depending on the access rights of the user.
In this printed version, the references are sorted by theme, thereafter by year of printing and author. The database is named “Birdwind”, and is administered and updated by NINA. The database is meant to be a tool that will make it easier to find relevant literature within these rapidly growing topics
An Electrowetting Valve with Air Channel
No full textIn recent years, microfluidic systems are used in various fields. In important component is the valve. In a variety of valve principles, the electrowetting valve promises high reliability, good controllability, low voltage operation and high transmission speed characteristics. The micro-fabrication method to create a chip-level electrowetting valve will have lots of applications.In this thesis, two designs of an electrowetting valve are presented that can be used to precisely control the flow of liquids. The hydrophobic air valves are used in the designs to allow liquid to flow forward when the valve is activated and to stop when it is deactivated. The design has different widths for the air channel to study its effect on the valve performance. Also, the after the design is completed, the design is translated into a mask set which is used to fabricate the chip in a cleanroom. Before fabrication, different types of materials with different thickness are simulated in Comsol Multiphysics to see what the respected expected saturation voltage are. Fabrication of the devices in the cleanroom involved silicon etching, TEOS deposition, metal deposition, insulating layer deposition and hydrophobic layer deposition and patterning. The depths of the channels were chosen as 20μm and 10 μm respectively. Subsequently measurement were performed to test the performance of the different designs and materials. Finally the conclusions and suggestions for the future work have been drawn.Electrical Engineerin
Easy ID: A Wireless Sensor Package to Measure Human Interaction Features
No full textThis thesis proposes a low-cost and small size customized data acquisition sensor badge, called Easy ID, which is specially designed for the Vision Lab Group in TU Delft for their on body data capture during social events. Easy ID is designed based on an open source platform, which provides enough space for future upgrade and extension.The innovate infrared communication algorithm and the open source software created to drive the circuits in this thesis can be shared with other similar implementations. Instead of using C/C++ language, this work uses python to enhance the code readability for our clients and realize a high-level programming method to drive hardware. To overcome the delays while modulating the transistors, a 555 oscillator is adapted, for a 38kHz carrier frequency. The performance of Easy ID’s identification is evaluated under both static and dynamic scenarios. With the infrared communication modules, the Easy ID can detect any facing another Easy ID with a range of 120 degree opening angle and 3.5 meters distance. The sampling frequency of motion capture is typically 20Hz with 9 DoFs inertial sensors. A highly accurate global time stamp can be stored combined with the data from sensors as data logs.Biomedical Engineerin
Andre Gide: a study of the relationship between the author and his characters
No full textAndre Paul Guillame Gide was a controversial French writer. Some critics claimed he never wrote about anyone but himself; others denied that he used himself as a model for any but his first works. This paper is the result of a study to determine to what extent the characters of Andre Gide are autobiographical. The novel and novelle of Gide were chosen as a basis for this study because their characters are definite and their situations relatively clear. Each major character in these works was analyzed and his characteristics and actions noted in detail. Then a study was made of the author by reading his own autobiographical works and many biographies and studies of Gide. The characteristics and actions of Andre Gide were analyzed and noted. With the personalities of the author and his characters broken down into habits, characteristics and actions and organized, each character was again observed and his traits and attitudes matched with those of the author whenever this was possible. To avoid a confused jumble of characters, one book with its characters was studied at a time. [...]English, Department o

Development, Implementation, and Industry Reception of a Novel Multi-source, Data-driven Building Energy Management Toolkit
No full textInefficient and uninformed operations negatively impact building energy performance, leading to wide disparities between predicted and actual energy use in commercial and institutional buildings. Though ample research in data-driven building operations analytics has derived various methodologies for extracting energy-saving insights that can inform best practices, these approaches have traditionally remained disparate, and are mostly inaccessible to operations personnel who can benefit from these approaches in augmenting their duties and optimizing building energy efficiency. This research explores the development, implementation, and industry reception of a novel multi-source, data-driven building energy management toolkit as a synthesis of established data-driven approaches in the literature. Energy-saving insights identified from over five separate case study buildings demonstrated the toolkit's multifaceted application to identify operational deficiencies, and interviews with building operators and facility managers regarding the toolkit's outputs were conducted to identify possible barriers which may inhibit operations professionals from effectively deriving and utilizing data-driven insights
