The aim of the research was the processing of the vibration signatures from healthy and damaged composite beams acquired with the help of a Scanning Laser Vibrometer (SLV) upon excitation and analysis of the mode shapes acquired for damage detection. The displacement mode shapes acquired were then converted into curvature mode shapes with the help of a Central Difference Approximation method (CDA).

This document is an Appropriate Durable Record (ADR) of my Masters of Fine Art research project, titled, A moment of beauty: An Archive of Intimate Engagements. The ADR contains photographic documentation of my artwork produced through this investigation along with a written reflective process – outlining the objectives of the research, identifying research questions, describing how the artworks were created and evaluated. The central focus of this research is studio based painting and drawing. The intention of the artwork is to locate beauty ‘in a moment’.

What are the key aspects to achieving acceptable usability outcomes for information systems being developed? The changing technologies and increased usage across the general population, the impacts of this in our everyday lives, at work and at leisure are exponentially increasing. The interfaces and interaction styles presented as part of these technologies have been challenged to be more intuitive, contextually sensitive, location aware, human centred and aimed at a larger community of stakeholders.

Within the urban landscape, the tempo of destruction and redevelopment of our built environment reveals a palimpsest of change. The abandonment of these sites could go unnoticed, often a fleeting moment before destruction, with the next structure then re-cloaking the land. This research project locates itself spatially and conceptually within this pause or transitional state of select sites. It utilises this brief period of time to consider how these sites can offer poetic information and new readings as creative practice, despite their impending obsolescence.

This study focuses on a small, impoverished area in Cape Town, which is located on the Western Cape of South Africa. Those who are familiar with Nelson Mandela and his role in the anti-apartheid movement might recall that off the coast of Cape Town is where he spent 27 years in the Robben Island political prison. Cape Town’s cultural history is rich and violent.

THE IMPACT OF LOGISTICS STRATEGY AND LOGISTICS INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY PROCESSES ON SERVICE PERFORMANCE If parents select schools for effectiveness, wealthy parents should be better able to obtain effective schools in markets where decentralized governance facilitates the choice of schools through residential location, and student performance should be more tightly associated with peer characteristics in these markets.

PUBLIC GOODS, PRIVATE INCENTIVES, AND AGRICULTURAL R&D: PRODUCTIVITY AND POVERTY IN DEVELOPING COUNTRY AGRICULTURE Like Baker, McMillan, and Reuben (2002), I identify parental valuations by the location of clusters of high income families: If parental preferences over communities depend exclusively on the effectiveness of the local schools, the most desirable—and therefore wealthiest—communities are necessarily those with the most effective schools.

TWO ESSAYS IN INTERNATIONAL ECONOMICS: AN EMPIRICAL APPROACH TO PURCHASING POWER PARITY AND THE MONETARY MODEL OF EXCHANGE RATE DETERMINATION I adopt a different strategy: I compare housing markets that differ in the strength of the residential location-school assignment link, and I develop simple reduced-form implications of parental valuations for the across-school distribution of student characteristics and educational outcomes as a function of the strength of this link.

Linking Behavioral Economics, Axiomatic Decision Theory and General Equilibrium Theory This chapter has used the Tiebout choice process—the choice of school characteristics via housing decisions—as a lens through which to study the strength of parental preferences for effective schools relative to those for other neighborhood or school characteristics.

AN INTELLIGENT E-MARKETPLACE FOR SOFTWARE COMPONENTS TRADING The NELS sampled about 23 eighth grade students from each of 815 public and 237 private schools in 1988, following up with portions of this original sample at two-year intervals thereafter. Using a confidential version of the NELS data and school addresses from the CCD and the Private School Survey, I am able to match 700 schools (534 public and 166 private) in the NELS sample to the MSAs in which they are located.

Firms, Workers, and Human Capital in Ghanaian Manufacturing My model is a much simplified version of so-called “multicommunity” models. I maintain the usual assumptions that the number of communities is fixed and finite, and that access to desirable communities is rationed through the real estate market.19 There is no private sector that would de-link school quality from residential location. Although some authors (i.e. Epple and Zelenitz, 1981) include a supply side of the housing market, I assume that communities are endowed with perfectly inelastic stocks of identical houses....
