Evaluating United States-Netherlands collaborations aimed at enhancing flooding resilience in New York City and New Orleans
No full textThesis: M.C.P., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Urban Studies and Planning, 2016.This electronic version was submitted by the student author. The certified thesis is available in the Institute Archives and Special Collections.Cataloged from student-submitted PDF version of thesis.Includes bibliographical references (pages 69-74).Since Hurricane Katrina, partnerships have developed between the Netherlands and various governmental bodies in the United States with the express goal of helping cities enhance their resilience to serious flooding. At the core of these partnerships is the belief that governmental and non-governmental institutions in the Netherlands have developed technical and conceptual expertise that could benefit cities in the U.S. An unspoken goal of these partnerships has also been to help Dutch engineering, design, and dredging firms compete for contracts offered in the United States under the banner of enhancing resilience. Through interviews with nineteen senior Dutch and American officials involved with these partnerships, the author tests collaborations between the Dutch and the cities of New York and New Orleans against the policy transfer frameworks of Dolowitz and Marsh (1996 and 2000) and Matsuura (2006), and then discusses alternative frameworks through which these collaborations can be considered. In New Orleans, policy transfer frameworks succeed in modeling the dynamics of the relationship, while in New York they do not. In both cases, however, alternative frameworks of policy mobility and knowledge networks may be more appropriate to model the dynamics at play.by Matthew Scott Willner.M.C.P
A precision measurement of the cosmic ray positron fraction on the International Space Station
No full textThesis: Ph. D., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Physics, 2016.Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.Includes bibliographical references (pages 118-128).AMS-02 is a precision particle physics experiment in space aiming to study dark matter, antimatter, and properties of cosmic rays to the TeV energy scale. This thesis presents a study of the cosmic ray positron fraction in AMS-02 data covering an energy range of 0.5 GeV to 500 GeV, and identifies 10.3 x 106 electron and 650 x 101 positron events. The results show that the positron fraction increases with energy and reaches a maximum at 275 ± 32 GeV.by Matthew Scott Krafczyk.Ph. D
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
Adoption Rates Among Evangelicals: A Mixed Methods Study
Full text linkABSTRACT
ADOPTION RATES AMONG EVANGELICALS:
A MIXED METHODS STUDY
Matthew Scott Thompson, Ed.D.
The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, 2015
Chair: Dr. Anthony W. Foster
The purpose of this study was to examine the adoption rates of evangelical
Christian adoption agencies and to determine what factors, if any, contribute to the
current adoption rates. A mixed methods approach, consisting of both quantitative and
qualitative elements was used for completion of this study. The quantitative section of
the research utilizes historical, numerical data from select adoption agencies to determine
the pattern of adoption rates. The qualitative portion of the research utilizes an electronic
survey, which contains simple answer questions, Likert scale questions, and open-ended
questions to determine potential factors that have an effect on the adoption rates. The
data was reviewed and analyzed to determine the conclusions of the research study.
