City form and changing process : the case of the North End, Boston, 1860-1930
No full textThesis (M.S.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 1993.Includes bibliographical references (leaves 168-173).This thesis originated from the assumption that the effects of time on city form involve complex processes and are closely related to different physical and social factors where human beings as changing agents play only a partial role. Taking the North End, Boston as a case study, it tries to explore the complexities of the combined effects of some of these processes bearing on city form. In conclusion, the thesis shows that changes in city form do not happen only because there is a deterministic need, such as a population increase, or only because human beings as the primary changing agent wants something to happen in a certain way. Evidently, none of the processes or elements, alone, can sufficiently explain the changes in city form. The relationship between the processes bearing on city form is far more complicated and is generally non-deterministic in nature. At the most abstract level that can be conceptualized as a three dimensional relationship, acting between 1) the stimuli like economic and population growth provoking change, 2) the adaptive change required by the stimuli, and 3) a wide variety of factors that mediate between this stimulus-response relationship, sometimes by enhancing it and at other time by retarding it. The thesis tries to extrapolate the characteristics of these mediating factors, and the relationship between the city and humans as changing agents in the form of some intrinsic regularities and constraints of the changing process in city form.by Mahbub Rashid.M.S

The impact of national culture on the organizational culture: Multinational companies doing businesses in developing countries
No full textAbstract Title: The impact of national culture on the organizational culture: Multinational companies doing businesses in developing countries Level: Final assignment for Master Degree in Business Administration (MBA) Author: Md. Mahbub Alam Supervisor: Dr. Ehsanul Huda Chowdhury Examiner: Dr. Maria Fregidou-Malama Day: 2017- May Aim: The aim of the study is to understand how national culture of Bangladesh is affecting the organizational culture of the multinational firms operating in Bangladesh. To understand the issue, Hofstede’s Cultural Dimensions are regarded as benchmark for analysis. Method: Qualitative study has been conducted whereby both primary and secondary data are used. Hereby, primary data have been gathered from ten employees of Grameen Phone a multinational working in Bangladesh. To collect data, face to face interviews has been conducted using Skype. Results & Conclusions: Finding of the study is the MNCs integration with national culture with the view to sustainable business operation. It has been demonstrated that national culture affects the organizational culture in the form of employee participation, collective working environment, collaborative work efforts, and knowledge sharing through continuous communication. Suggestions for future research: Further investigations on national culture’s impact on organizational culture can be undertaken by making a comparison between MNC and a purely local firm. Additionally, an analysis on a large number of MNCs operating in host country can add value for further researches. Contribution of the thesis: To the theoretical model, this study makes contribution on the ground of understanding how MNC adapt their business with local culture where cultural sensitiveness is high. Managerial implications: MNCs can ensure collaboration, support, and teamwork among employees as part of their attempt to integrate with local culture. This study reveals that local employees can be used as means of cultural carriers by managers which can promptly address the cultural differences to be mitigated.

Ordering of spin-1/2 excitations of the nucleon in lattice QCD
No full textWe present results for the negative parity low-lying state of the nucleon, N1/2- (1535 MeV) S11, from a variational analysis method. The analysis is performed in quenched QCD with the FLIC fermion action. The principal focus of this Letter is to explore the level ordering between the Roper (P11) and the negative parity ground (S11) states of the nucleon. Evidence of the physical level ordering is observed at light quark masses. A wide variety of smeared-smeared correlation functions are used to construct correlation matrices. A comprehensive correlation matrix analysis is performed to ensure an accurate isolation of the N 1/2- state. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.M.S. Mahbub, Waseem Kamleh, Derek B.

Isolating the Roper resonance in lattice QCD
No full textCopyright © 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.We present results for the first positive parity excited state of the nucleon, namely, the Roper resonance (Nfrac(1, 2)+ = 1440 MeV) from a variational analysis technique. The analysis is performed for pion masses as low as 224 MeV in quenched QCD with the FLIC fermion action. A wide variety of smeared-smeared correlation functions are used to construct correlation matrices. This is done in order to find a suitable basis of operators for the variational analysis such that eigenstates of the QCD Hamiltonian may be isolated. A lower lying Roper state is observed that approaches the physical Roper state. To the best of our knowledge, the first time this state has been identified at light quark masses using a variational approach. © 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.M.S.

Growth and Poverty in Pakistan: Implications for Governance
Get PDFAccording to the Economic Surveys, Pakistan’s real GDP has grown at an average annual rate of 6.8 percent in the 1960s, 4.8 percent in the 1970s, 6.5 percent in the 1980s and 4.7 percent in the 1990s. However, that did not seem to have mitigated poverty as parallel to this growth the number of poor also kept swelling. Although different estimates put number of poor in Pakistan around 50 million, the actual could be more [Ahmad (2001)]. The average growth rates in the first halfcentury of Pakistan have been around 2 percent [Hasan (1997)]. It is pertinent to state that this discussion paper is not an attempt to challenge the figures either of the growth rates or the numbers of the poor in Pakistan. This is rather an attempt to understand the correlation of governance with growth on one hand and poverty on the other. It offers conceptual analysis of the concepts and their respective interpretation, explanation, application and ensuing misunderstandings. This paper has also attempted to challenge certain (usual) assumptions and perceptions regarding the role and relationship of growth and governance in reducing poverty in Pakistan. One has pointed out that most of the studies on the subject focus on symptoms and not the causes of poverty. This leads to on one hand growth of poverty, as poverty does not seem to halt despite certain evidence of relatively high growth particularly in 1960s. On the other hand we witness poverty of growth as whatever growth we have had it has hitherto failed either translating into corresponding mitigation of poverty or equitable collective prosperity. This is because there have not been efforts at governance level to ensure equity of impact of growth through adequate distribution mechanisms, sufficient social and human investments leading to education and skill development of women and men, who in turn could benefit from opportunities arising by way of process of economic growth.
Investigating the function of the Schwann cells in diabetic wound healing
No full textType-2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a multifactorial disorder that occurs due to lack of insulin
& hyperglycemia. My focus is relating two major complications of T2DM; wound healing
defects and diabetic neuropathy. Cutaneous nerves extend throughout the dermis and epidermis
and control both the functional and reparative capacity of the skin. Nerve axons are reduced in
the skin of a diabetic and further decreases in wounds. From previous work, our lab
demonstrated, as apposed to the nerve axons, the associated Schwann cells located around
wound are important, undergoes extensive reprogramming process and migrates towards the
wound bed releasing bioactive molecules, which contribute to wound closure. However, their
role is still unknown in diabetic wound healing. To investigate this, we are using two rodent
models of diabetes— genetically modified db/db diabetic mice lacking leptin receptor and a
reporter strain fed with high-fat diet to induce diabetes. A 6mm punch biopsy wound will be
induced in the back skin and healing will be tracked at four time points—Day:5,10,15 &
21(n=5). The immunohistochemical analysis of S100B, P75NTR and neurofilaments will
determine the numbers of Schwann cells and axons. As an experimental therapy of diabetic
wound healing, we will treat the mice with growth factors known to be released from Schwann
cells. This could lead a novel therapeutic intervention in T2DM treatment
