No full textThesis: M. Eng., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, 2015.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 121-122).In Electrical Engineering courses, it is important that students have hands-on experience with a circuit and components to witness their behavior and compare it with theoretical models. The MIT iLab Project develops online laboratories that allow students to perform experiments through a web browser from anywhere in the world. One such lab used in the Introduction to Circuits class, the NMOS Resistor Amplifier Lab, allows students to analyze the switching waveforms of a transistor. This thesis describes the integration of a thermal camera to the NMOS-Resistor Amplifier Lab to educate students about energy dissipation. The first version of this lab, built entirely in LabVIEW, on iLabs' existing Shared Architecture could not support an interactive lightweight client. In response, the Experimental Lab Server Architecture (ELSA) was developed as a new interface connecting an experiment, client, and Service Broker. In the first prototype of the Thermal Lab in ELSA, a Java Applet Client uses REST calls to send commands and acquire data from the LabVIEW experiment running on the server.by Letitia Weixia Li.M. Eng

No full textThe fuzzy theory and women writers in the late eighteenth century
No full text'Fuzzy Theory and Women Writers in the Late Eighteenth Century' contends
that women writers require more careful critical treatment, and suggests that critics
are still bound by the outdated logic of the Law of the Excluded Middle. This law,
first formulated by Aristotle, and developed by Gottfried Leibniz in the early
eighteenth century, indicates that where there are two contradictory prepositions, one
must be true and the other false; a female writer must, therefore, either be feminine or
masculine, conservative or radical. The twentieth century concept of Fuzzy logic,
however, helped mathematicians and engineers to manage reasoning that was only
approximate, rather than exact. Borrowing from this, the thesis will employ the
Fuzzy Set Theory, which permits the gradual assessment of elements in a set, rather
than relying on elements that are assessed in binaric terms (the principle of bivalence,
or, contradiction). Put simply, the Fuzzy Set Theory does away with binaries, the Law
of the Excluded Middle, and the Law of Contradiction, allowing subjects to be
imprecise, and changeable. Thus, each chapter will construct a Fuzzy Set by which a
variety of eighteenth century debates, with which women writers engaged, can be
examined. The thesis will show that all such concepts are subjective and unstable—
changeable and open to personal interpretation, and will discuss such writers as Mary
Wollstonecraft, Catherine Macaulay, Charlotte Smith, Anna Letitia Barbauld, Mary
Hays, Lucy Aikin, Hannah More and Joanna Southcott
Identity, anxiety, and ambiguity within the eighteenth-century representation of the slave: Anna Letitia Barbauld, Hannah More, and Phillis Wheatley
No full textEighteenth-century poets, Anna Letitia Barbauld, Hannah More, and Phillis Wheatley represented the slave, contributing to the creation of an African identity that both challenged and affirmed the cultural perception of the African, the Other. I examined the poetry using the New Historical, Feminist, and Post-Colonial perspectives and considered the ways in which social assumptions and historical events influenced the writers in their representations of the African slave. Examining the poets' representations of the African slave allowed me to explore the act of representation and focus upon the contradictory assumptions and images that are involved with representation and its connection to the creation of identity. To understand the poets' representations of the African, it was necessary to consider their work within its historical context, particularly the eighteenth-century perceptions of ' race,' the African, and the abolitionist cause. Abolitionists attempted to create an alternative image of the African that focused upon shared human bonds and produced sympathy for the plight of the African. Barbauld's and More's poetry were written in an effort to create a sympathetic image of the African to convince the politicians to abolish Britain's participation in the slave trade; however, while speaking out against the slave trade, the two British poets created contradictory images and implied that the African belonged to an inferior ' race.' As an African native, Wheatley provides a contrast to Barbauld and More and their representations of the African which indicates that the voice of the Other is susceptible to contradictions, social assumptions, and conflicting images in the representation of the Other. Ultimately, the three women's poetry provides a case study by which to examine the conflicts and contradictions that are a part of the process of literary representation and the ways in which representation contributes to a conflicted identity.The original print copy of this thesis may be available here: http://wizard.unbc.ca/record=b119730

For my people--Margaret Walker--lithographs by Elizabeth Catlett : a consideration
No full textThis thesis examines the 1992 Limited Edition Collection prints artist Elizabeth Catlett (American, 1915 – 2012) created to illustrate Margaret Walker's poem, For My People. The author analyzes Catlett’s images in terms of the ways in which they both document as well as reflect on the Black experience, and the ways in which her practice both anticipated and chimed with, the Black Arts Movement. Alongside a consideration of Catlett and her work, the author discusses the related significance of Margaret Walker (American, 1915 – 1998) and her poem, For My People, and the ways in which it was in so many ways the perfect poem for Catlett to illustrate.Art Histor
