Disorders of Schizophrenic Embodiment: A Phenomenological Investigation
No full text206 pg.The bodily manifestations of schizophrenia are not commonly in the forefront of scientific research. An investigation of the disorders of schizophrenic embodiment is nevertheless instructive not only for psychotherapeutic advances in the treatment of the schizophrenic condition, but because it offers unusual access to the pre-reflective experience of the body, a topic of great significance in contemporary phenomenology. This dissertation proposes a methodological framework for the systematic analysis of the various disorders of embodiment in schizophrenia, such as the schizophrenic modality of bodily self-alienation, the distortions of the body image experienced by schizophrenics, the processes that drive the conceptualization of the body as a material entity, and the disorders of pre-reflective selfhood to which these phenomena testify. This investigation is presented alongside an ethical inquiry interrogating the nature and the scope of ethical obligations owed to schizophrenic individuals in view of this novel understanding of the subjective experiences of schizophrenia.Advisor(s): Casey, Edward S..

Paths Not Taken: Sartre, Normativity, and Language
No full text61 pg.Sartreanism appears to have hit a number of dead-ends within the philosophical discourse of modernity. Utilizing the tools of Jurgen Habermas's rational reconstruction of the discourse of modernity, this thesis attempts to resuscitate the works of Jean-Paul Sartre to solve the a porias of his subject-centered philosophy. Truth and Existence , a work published between Being and Nothingness and Critique of Dialectical Reason, indicates a path towards a theory of the subject as being linguistically constituted. By placing these works within the philosophical discourse of modernity as envisioned by Habermas, this thesis exposes Sartre's commitment to the problems of modernity and exposes the places where Sartre could have resolved the a porias surrounding this discourse's search for normative structure. The linguistically constituted subject solves Sartre's lifelong pursuit of an ethics of freedom by positing consciousness as a linguistic entity in pursuit of non-pathological communication which commits itself to the non-distorted disclosure of being.Advisor(s): Mendieta, Eduardo ; Casey, Edward.

Characterization of coplanar waveguide circuits with fluidic channels
No full textUniversity of Minnesota M.S. thesis. June 2010. Major: Electrical Engineering. Advisor: Rhonda R. Franklin. 1 computer file (PDF); xi, 83 pages, appendices A-E. Ill. (some col.)This thesis discusses the characterization of a coplanar waveguide circuit with fluidic channels. The use of fluids in radio frequency circuits is highly unexplored. This work aims to provide generalized design guidelines to maximize the impact of fluids introduced into a coplanar waveguide structure. Leveraging the design guidelines presented within, a coplanar waveguide circuit is designed and fabricated. The test circuit is analyzed and the impact of the fluids on characteristic impedance is presented. Directions for future work is also discussed.Murray, Casey Edward. (2010).

Anonymity and Ambiguity in Merleau-Ponty's Phenomenology: Discerning the Fundamental Structure of Incompleteness in Perceptual and Intersubjective Life
No full text206 pg.This work explicates what I identify as the fundamental structure of incompleteness that characterizes the human experience of meaning and that, I argue, informs an ethical imperative in our relations with others. Drawing on the work of Edmund Husserl and Maurice Merleau-Ponty, I begin by showing how we overlook this incompleteness in perception. I argue that our experience of perceptual meaning almost always excludes its essential indeterminacy: that is, we experience meaning as coherent and complete, even though it is necessarily limited by our spatial and temporal situation. I show how what Merleau-Ponty refers to as the "anonymous" body--that which makes possible our participation in the perceptual world--contributes to this pretension and, moreover, informs our preference for what is familiar and complete over what is unfamiliar and incomplete in our experience. I go on to demonstrate how our anonymous facility in the world always includes others, who aid in our development of this anonymous sense of self. I further demonstrate how others also challenge this sense of anonymity, in so far as they expose its limits. However, as in our perceptual life, in our intersubjective life we also resist recognizing these limits. Other people constitute the deepest and most prevalent dimension of indeterminacy in our experience; yet we often perceive them as familiar and easily recognizable and, in doing so, we resolve the ambiguity of our experience of them. I argue that we deny the incompleteness of our access to others because they expose the fundamental tension between the inherent limits of our experience and our comfortable facility in the world; they demonstrate to us our own finitude, which the structure of our experience otherwise conceals. Yet the ambiguity of our experience of others is equally the source of our potential relations with them and our opportunities for further self-development; it is, I argue, fundamentally creative. My work thus develops a phenomenological account of intersubjectivity and, on the basis of this account, argues that an ethics of relations with others must recognize the unforeseeable possibilities inherent in our experiences of them. What becomes apparent in a close examination of perceptual experience--namely, the incompleteness of our experience of meaning--is, I argue, essential to defining the ethical imperative in our relations with others.Advisor(s): Casey, Edward S..

Reconfigurable passive RF circuits leveraging integrated fluidic structures
Full text linkUniversity of Minnesota Ph.D. dissertation. January 2015. Major: Electrical Engineering. Advisor: Rhonda R. Franklin. 1 computer file (PDF); viii, 106 pages.The demand for wireless capability in our everyday life is continually increasing. This demand is creating the need for multi-band systems and systems that can be changed to adapt to their environment. Many research groups are looking into ways to meet these needs. One area in particular, is incorporation of fluidics in RF design to change the circuit's characteristics by leveraging conductive, magnetic, or dielectric properties of the fluid. The work presented focuses on leveraging the dielectric properties of fluids and how fluids may be integrated into fundamental RF structures providing control over their characteristics. Ultimately, providing design concepts that could be refined for particular applications.Fluids are integrated into four fundamental structures in this work: 1) a transmission line, 2) a directional coupler, 3) an annular slot antenna, and 4) a band-pass filter. The transmission line focuses on the use of the dielectric properties of fluids to create a tunable delay line. The directional coupler work demonstrates how fluids can be used to vary coupling and isolation in a microstrip structure. Fluids are next integrated into antenna structures demonstrating the possible tuning range. Lastly, a fluidic channel is integrated into a microstrip ring band-pass filter demonstrating the change in pass-band characteristics.Murray, Casey Edward. (2015).

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
