Exploring crystallographic compatibility in polycrystalline Cu-based shape-memory alloys
No full textThis electronic version was submitted by the student author. The certified thesis is available in the Institute Archives and Special Collections.Thesis: S.B., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Materials Science and Engineering, June, 2019Cataloged from the official PDF version of thesis.Includes bibliographical references (pages 47-49).Shape-memory alloys (SMAs) are a class of materials that can recover from apparent permanent strain (on the order of 5%) due to a solid-to-solid phase transformation. It has been recently suggested that SMAs satisfying a set of so-called cofactor conditions possess perfect interface compatibility and additional microstructural flexibility during transformation, which are theorized to result in excellent reversibility. Cu-based SMAs are cheaper than other alternatives, but polycrystalline Cu-based SMAs are unable to withstand many cycles because they are prone to cracking and degradation of functional properties. Previous research has identied improved shape-memory properties in Cu-Al-Ni-Mn SMAs in the oligocrystalline state, but polycrystalline material of the same composition has yet to be characterized. In this thesis, I characterize the compatibility of Cu-Al-Ni-Mn alloys according to the cofactor conditions and correlate these findings with results from superelastic mechanical cycling. Building on this knowledge, I also present a new alloy design that is predicted to meet the cofactor conditions and provides a promising path forward for a functionally stable, low-cost, polycrystalline Cu-based SMA.by Madelyn Payne.S.B.S.B.

Energy transition for the decarbonisation of urban neighborhoods: A case study in Seville, Spain
No full textA method of greenhouse gas inventory has been developed for evaluating the environmental implications of civilian life, in terms of carbon emission, according to citizens' behaviour and to the condition of buildings, local infrastructures and services. The assessment focuses on energy use for housing, mobility, impacts of waste and water management. All factors refer to different spatial scales, ranging from the regional, urban neighbourhood, right through to the single-family household. Based on site-specific data, carbon accounting has been performed in Seville, firstly focussing on the provincial scale, then on the urban neighbourhood of Barrio Tiro de Línea. Both quantitative information and a uniquely citizen-centred method of visual result representation have been provided and taken as a starting point for planning an energy transition and decarbonisation scenario. The graphical outcomes allow the selection of a series of carbon footprint mitigating measures to be potentially accomplished in the medium-long term. The procedure was tested during the City-Zen Roadshow, as part of the European Union FP7 City-Zen Project, and demonstrated a powerfully communicative and easily implementable method to inform policy makers and citizens, to raise awareness on real energy transition potentials and to address choices for decarbonisation
Understanding government influence on healthcare legislation
No full textUnderstanding government influence on healthcare legislation

Research Objective:
Healthcare is constantly evolving and changing. One of the strongest influencers in this constant change is the government. In order to completely understand healthcare, one must also be able to understand the legislation involved. For providers, this is important to understand since they need to be aware of the resources available to their patients. Being informed about health laws allows providers to make more educated decisions, understand trends in healthcare, and stay compliant with updated standards. The vocabulary, terminology, and overall process used in legislation can be difficult to understand—especially to a lay audience. This study examines recent healthcare laws in Kentucky to better understand whether current legislation aligns with the greatest health needs of the state and to determine better ways of presenting the information in a way individuals from any educational background can understand.
Methods:
Laws passed in 2017 were selected for review from Kentucky’s Legislative Research Commission website and compared to the priorities identified in the Foundation for a Healthy Kentucky’s “Kentucky Health Issues Poll”. Information from the comparison was then translated into a podcast series. Podcasts were uploaded to researcher’s Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube. Podcasts include news clips and interviews with professionals who have experience working in areas affected by these new laws. The series consists of six-episodes and was titled “What the Health is Going on?”
Conclusions:
The findings suggest that Kentucky has a strong healthcare presence in legislation and that many of the laws overlapped with the priority issues identified by the Foundation. Although some laws were irrelevant to the greatest issues, they may still play an important role in improving healthcare in the state. Overall, the study findings indicate that Kentucky is taking steps to improve major healthcare issues, but there is still room for priority alignment with legislation
