Christian nonconformity by J. H. Yoder and M. L. King
No full textThis Bachelor thesis with the title Christian nonconformity by J. H. Yoder and M. L. King, deals with the specific status of Christian in society. The first part of the thesis is dedicated to the ethical concept of J. H. Yoder and the second part is dedicated to the ethical concept of M. L. King. The final part is attempting to compare both approaches with a focus on nonconformity. In the comparison is persuaded the social aspect in particular and shows the relationship between the society and the Christians according both concepts. The author of the work uses as literal sources particularly the essays and speeches from M. L. King and from the book of J. H. Yodera: The politics of Jesus. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org
Combining computer game-based behavioural experiments with high-density EEG and infrared gaze tracking
No full textRigorous, quantitative examination of therapeutic techniques anecdotally reported to have been successful in people with autism who lack communicative speech will help guide basic science toward a more complete characterisation of the cognitive profile in this underserved subpopulation, and show the extent to which theories and results developed with the high-functioning subpopulation may apply. This study examines a novel therapy, the "Rapid Prompting Method" (RPM). RPM is a parent-developed communicative and educational therapy for persons with autism who do not speak or who have difficulty using speech communicatively.The technique aims to develop a means of interactive learning by pointing amongst multiple-choice options presented at different locations in space, with the aid of sensory "prompts" which evoke a response without cueing any specific response option. The prompts are meant to draw and to maintain attention to the communicative task–making the communicative and educational content coincident with the most physically salient, attention-capturing stimulus – and to extinguish the sensory–motor preoccupations with which the prompts compete.ideo-recorded RPM sessions with nine autistic children ages 8–14years who lacked functional communicative speech were coded for behaviours of interest
Vibrational energy transfer modeling on nonequilibrium polyatomic reaction systems
No full textThe use of energy transfer data and models in describing nonequilibrium polyatomic reaction systems is discussed with particular emphasis on the information needed for modeling vibrational energy transfer. In the discussion, it is pointed out that key areas of energy transfer knowledge are still lacking and the available experimental data are limited in scope and are of uneven quality. Despite these limitations, it is still possible to carry out meaningful simulations of chemical systems in which vibrational energy transfer is important. The vibrational energy master equation, which is the basis for modeling, and various experiments and calculations that provide the basis for practical energy transfer models and parametrizations are described. Two examples of gas phase reaction systems are presented in which vibrational energy transfer is important. The decomposition of norbornene shows how energy transfer parameters can be obtained from measurements of shock-induced chemical reactions, but even the best such experiments provide only limited information about energy transfer. Chemically activated 2-methylhexyl radicals illustrate the complex reactions of multiple isomers connected by multiple isomerization pathways and reacting according to multiple decomposition pathways.John R.

Hyperfine splitting of [Al VI] 3.66 mu m and the Al isotopic ratio in NGC 6302
No full textThe core of planetary nebula NGC 6302 is filled with high-excitation photoionized gas at low expansion velocities. It represents a unique astrophysical situation in which to search for hyperfine structure (HFS) in coronal emission lines from highly ionized species. HFS is otherwise blended by thermal or velocity broadening. Spectra containing [Al vr] 3.66 mu m P-3(2) <- P-3(1), obtained with Phoenix on Gemini South at resolving powers of up to 75000, resolve the line into five hyperfine components separated by 20-60 km s(-1) as a result of the coupling of the I = 5/2 nuclear spin of Al-27 with the total electronic angular momentum J. The isotope Al-26 has a different nuclear spin of I = 5, and a different HFS, which allows us to place a 3 sigma upper limit on the Al-26/Al-27 abundance ratio of 1/33. We measure the HFS magnetic dipole coupling constants for [Al vr], and provide the first estimates of the electric quadrupole HFS coupling constants obtained through astronomical observations of an atomic transition
High quality optical and optoelectronic materials for efficient light management and solar spectrum control and conversion
No full textOptoelectronic devices that effectively manipulate and manage light are of great interest in multiple fields, particularly in photovoltaics (PV) as a way to absorb and convert light into electricity. On the other hand, display technologies exploit optical materials and optoelectronics to efficiently extract light from an emissive component. Regardless of industry, similar principles guide the research of these devices and can be utilized to improve upon existing designs or generate new, unique designs. This dissertation focuses on high performance optoelectronic devices for both PV and emissive display applications that employ similar principles to optimize optical pathways within the respective device design.
We first explore ultrathin semiconductor designs that reduce costs of expensive materials and processing. Silicon solar microcells are re-designed to account for high series resistance and poor absorption. A back contact design significantly reduces the series resistance within the solar microcell and allows for an anti-reflection coating on the front surface to drastically improve the absorption of incident irradiation. Strategies for an improved concentration design are then explored that implement traditional lenses for concentration of direct light at high concentration ratios. Collection of diffuse light is then achieved through a luminescent solar concentrator (LSC) in the backplane of the lens array, contributing to additional achievable power on both clear and cloudy days.
The improved solar microcells are then integrated with a low power density application, a self-powered electrochromic, or “smart” window. Here, the microcells are shown as an exemplar high performance and relatively transparent PV material to power such a window. Processes for fabrication of the self-powered electrochromic window are considered for scalability and ease of integration into industrial applications. These include sol-gel methods for preparation of active, electrochromic films and the ability to do processing on flexible substrates. The latter enables transitory capabilities as well as the possibility to include an adhesive for active retrofitting to existing windows. An electrochromic film powered by the Si microcells is demonstrated with transmission modulation on the order of 46%.
Finally, we show a design for an emissive cavity to replace absorptive color filters in a liquid crystal display (LCD). Strategies from LSCs are exploited to design the emissive component, quantum dots embedded in a polymer waveguide. The quantum dots used here have high quantum yields and narrow bandwidths, which are necessary if an RGB display is to be realized. Additionally, the Stokes shift of the quantum dots is large, which reduces reabsorption events within the polymer waveguide. The waveguide is then integrated into a reflective cavity that reflects luminesced photons (especially those emitted from the edge of the waveguide) towards a small top aperture. High extraction efficiencies are achieved with this design and a micropixel array is presented as a prototype for integration into an LCD panel.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'Closed Access', the embargo will last until 2020-12-01The student, Mikayla Yoder, accepted the attached license on 2018-11-29 at 18:15.The student, Mikayla Yoder, submitted this Dissertation for approval on 2018-11-29 at 18:38.This Dissertation was approved for publication on 2018-12-03 at 11:46.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #13150 on 2019-02-08 at 11:40:25Made available in DSpace on 2019-02-08T18:43:45Z (GMT).

Justice or Injustice for the Poor?: A Look at the Constitutionality of Congressional Restrictions on Legal Services
No full textUpon enacting the Legal Services Corporation Act in 1974, Congress created the Legal Services Corporation (LSC), which provides federal funding to grantees that perform legal services for low-income individuals. In recent years, Congress has enacted restrictions upon grantees\u27 receipt of such federal funding, limiting the legal services these legal aid attorneys can provide to their clients. This move has sparked great debate. Proponents of the restrictions argue that they are needed to correct abuse and misuse of the legal services program, while opponents argue that the restrictions only harm low-income individuals.
In this Note, the author addresses this controversial issue by first examining the purpose and history of the Legal Services Corporation. The author then examines recent Supreme Court opinions analyzing the constitutionality of attaching conditions to the use of federal funds. In applying the unconstitutional conditions doctrine recently set out by the Supreme Court, the author argues that many of Congress\u27s recent restrictions are not only harmful; they are unconstitutional.
The author argues that many of the restrictions Congress recently has enacted interfere with the protected attorney-client relationship and implicate First Amendment concerns. Specifically, the author argues that the restrictions prohibiting welfare-reform advocacy and abortion-related litigation constitute viewpoint discrimination and thus are unconstitutional. Also unconstitutional are the restrictions on lobbying and influencing the government because they are impermissibly overbroad. Finally, the author argues that restrictions requiring affiliate organizations of grantees to satisfy certain program integrity requirements unconstitutionally restrict grantees\u27 right to engage in prohibited speech or activities using non-LSC funds.
The author concludes the Note by arguing that in enacting the recent restrictions, Congress has thwarted the purpose of the Legal Services Corporation Act. Instead of providing justice for low-income individuals, the restrictions only create more injustice
