Abstract/Description
Debitage from the reduction of Spondylus valves into pieces useful for craft production was recovered at the site of Rio Chico, Manabi Province, Ecuador, from multiple occupations that represent different cultural periods of Coastal Ecuador. The material is analyzed and interpreted from a production context and defines basic production characteristics for each cultural period represented.

Show moreDebitage from the reduction of Spondylus valves into pieces useful for craft production was recovered at the site of Rio Chico, Manabi Province, Ecuador, from multiple occupations that represent different cultural periods of Coastal Ecuador. The material is analyzed and interpreted from a production context and defines basic production characteristics for each cultural period represented. Changes in these characteristics seen within the sequence are highlighted and then compared against changes found in the regional exchange system defined by Martin (2000). The results indicate that the greatest level of variability and the least processing intensity occurred within the youngest occupation (later Mantefio) and the greatest amount of change through time occurred between the earlier and later Mantefio period. It also suggests that the local production processes did not change in response to changes in the regional exchange system. Instead, responses to changes in the regional trade context could have involved geographic expansion of the Spondylus habitat they exploited by initiating, or expanding an already existing, trade route with Mesoamerica.

Show moreParallel manipulators have their special characteristics in contrast to the traditional serial type of robots. Stewart platform is a typical six degree of freedom fully parallel robot manipulator. The goal of this research is to enhance the accuracy and the restricted workspace of the Stewart platform. The first part of the dissertation discusses the effect of three kinematic constraints: link length limitation, joint angle limitation and link interference, and kinematic parameters on the workspace of the platform. An algorithm considering the above constraints for the determination of the volume and the envelop of Stewart platform workspace is developed. The workspace volume is used as a criterion to evaluate the effects of the platform dimensions and kinematic constraints on the workspace and the dexterity of the Stewart platform. The analysis and algorithm can be used as a design tool to select dimensions, actuators and joints in order to maximize the workspace. The remaining parts of the dissertation focus on the accuracy enhancement. Manufacturing tolerances, installation errors and link offsets cause deviations with respect to the nominal parameters of the platform. As a result, if nominal parameters are being used, the resulting platform pose will be inaccurate. An accurate kinematic model of Stewart platform which accommodates all manufacturing and installation errors is developed. In order to evaluate the effects of the above factors on the accuracy, algorithms for the forward and inverse kinematics solutions of the accurate model are developed. The effects of different manufacturing tolerances and installation errors on the platform accuracy are investigated based on this model. Simulation results provide insight into the expected accuracy and indicate the major factors contributing to the inaccuracies. In order to enhance the accuracy, there is a need to calibrate the platform, or to determine the actual values of the kinematic parameters (Parameter Identification) and to incorporate these into the inverse kinematic solution (Accuracy Compensation). An error-model based algorithm for the parameter identification is developed. Procedures for the formulation of the identification Jacobian and for accuracy compensation are presented. The algorithms are tested using simulated measurements in which the realistic measurement noise is included. As a result, pose error of the platform are significantly reduced.

There are 1,121 World Heritage Sites listed by UNESCO and are categorized as cultural, natural, or a mix of both. The majority of these sites are at risk from different environmental hazards that could threaten their existence or long-term survival; however, policy initiatives can mitigate some of these impacts. It was discovered that every continental region, with the exception of Oceania, had a site considered to be the most vulnerable. There were 27 sites deemed most vulnerable, only 2.4% of the World Heritage Sites. Most of these sites were located along the Pacific Coasts of Asia, and both North and South America.

THE WORLD UNBALANCED: THE THEME OF DISORDER IN THE SHORT STORIES OF FLANNERY O'CONNOR.
Creator
WERSHOVEN, CAROL JEAN., Florida Atlantic University, Pearce, Howard D.
Abstract/Description
Flannery O'Connor's short stories often involve a moment of recognition/reversal in which an offering of grace is accompanied by a toppling of the protagonist's sense of social order. The protagonist, who considers himself in some way superior, may be "leveled" into a chaotic equality with all sinners, or he may find the tables turned on him: one who was "first" may become "last." Or both these things may happen to the same protagonist. Such protagonists may be Strong Women, who need to...

The protagonist, who considers himself in some way superior, may be "leveled" into a chaotic equality with all sinners, or he may find the tables turned on him: one who was "first" may become "last." Or both these things may happen to the same protagonist. Such protagonists may be Strong Women, who need to believe in an ordered world to maintain their security and status, or Intellectuals, who isolate themselves from the real world, or Displaced Persons, who experience disorder through displacement, or Dwellers in the Past or the Future, who attempt to escape disorder through a retreat into different time periods. Various devices in the stories, such as the double, irony, and symbols, heighten the sense of disorder.
