Application of Technologies for Temporary Structures during the Design and Construction Phases

Creator:: Jin, Ziyu
Abstract:: The development of technologies such as Building Information Modeling (BIM), light detection and ranging (lidar), and sensor-based systems poses new opportunities for researchers to rethink how construction safety and health can be approached during the design, planning, and construction phases of a project. Nevertheless, the majority of the technology applications...

John Archibald Wheeler : a study of mentoring in modern physics

Creator:: Christensen, Terry M.
Abstract:: This dissertation has two objectives. The first objective is to determine where best to situate the study of mentoring (i.e. the 'making of scientists') on the landscape of the history of science and science studies. This task is accomplished by establishing mentoring studies as a link between the robust body...

Modeling protein structure at atomic resolution

Creator:: Berkholz, Donald S.
Abstract:: This thesis includes three studies involving different aspects of modeling protein structure. The first study illustrates the levels of insight available from atomic-resolution protein structures. The second study derives general trends of protein geometry from atomic-resolution structures and shows their implications for modeling. The third study creates a model of...
