description: Stakeholder participation has become a popular tool in environmental policy-making. Such participation holds the promise of fostering the legitimacy of policies and thus reducing the costs of enforcement. Legitimacy can be – and often has been – assessed from a normative tradition, by means of a fixed set of procedural or substantive criteria. From the sociological tradition, legitimacy and stakeholder participation are considered a social construct, in which it is recognized that legitimacy is not intrinsic to the process or output of participation, but instead relies on stakeholders’ perceptions of both, which is also informed by past processes and experiences. We propose a novel way of understanding and assessing environmental groups’ perceptions of legitimacy and illegitimacy, combining insights and theories from political science and history, and we apply this approach to two policy-making processes: the Dutch Climate Agreement and the Integrated Approach to Nitrogen. We found that past processes and experiences influence the perception of legitimacy in current processes. Moreover, we uncovered new participation needs that positively contribute to the perception of legitimacy and that do not yet fit within the more classic normative tradition.

title: Curators: more or less subjects :Spectatorship, passivity and fabulation
Creators: name: Desclaux, Vanessa
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Curatorial practice, curator, passivity, mystique, fabulation

description: My research intends to critically expose the political, economic, and ethical conditions in which curatorial practice is operating in the current context. I attempt to examine the question of authorship within curatorial practice, in order to challenge the distinction between an administrative, scholarly practice carried out in the name of an institution and an authorial and entrepreneurial practice that is exemplary of late capitalism. I thus intend to challenge the figure of the curator that has been disciplined by and is expected to function within current political and economic conditions. I will endeavour to disrupt the stable roles and functions associated with the figure of the curator and instead uncover multiple subject positions, which collapse professional templates and fail traditional oppositions between activity and passivity. 

I therefore begin with a reflection on the condition of spectatorship inherent to curatorial practice, and propose that the curator is the quintessential spectator. This is outlined in order to dispute the ideological deadlock regarding spectatorship and to address fundamental notions of vision and attention within curatorial practice. I will then propose to re-evaluate the notion of passivity in order to question assumptions regarding power and activity, putting forward examples that show the paradoxical qualities that passivity encompasses in the context of curatorial practice. Spectatorship and passivity fundamentally contribute to reconfiguring the possibility for a different approach to the production of subjectivity within and through curatorial practice. Through the notion of fabulation I finally intend to redefine the production of subjectivity in the context of curatorial practice. Fabulation stages an inquiry into the differentiation between artistic and curatorial practices: not to erase differences or flatten out competencies but to rather affirm a different distribution of positions, and inhabit a multiplicity of figures.
title: Irreversible Noise: The Rationalisation of Randomness and the
Fetishisation of Indeterminacy
Creators: name: Wilkins, Inigo
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: noise, entropy, Deleuze, Sellars, economics, music

description: This thesis aims to elaborate the theoretical and practical significance of the concept of noise with regard to current debates concerning realism, materialism, and rationality. The scientific conception of noise follows from the developments of thermodynamics, information theory, cybernetics, and dynamic systems theory; hence its qualification as irreversible. It is argued that this conceptualization of noise is entangled in several polemics that cross the arts and sciences, and that it is crucial to an understanding of their contemporary condition. 

This thesis draws on contemporary scientific theories to argue that randomness is an intrinsic functional aspect at all levels of complex dynamic systems, including higher cognition and reason. However, taking randomness or noise as given, or failing to distinguish between different descriptive levels, has led to misunderstanding and ideology. After surveying the scientific and philosophical context, the practical understanding of randomness in terms of probability theory is elaborated through a history of its development in the field of economics, where its idealization has had its most pernicious effects. 

Moving from the suppression of noise in economics to its glorification in aesthetics, the experience of noise in the sonic sense is first given a naturalistic neuro-phenomenological explanation. Finally, the theoretical tools developed over the course of the inquiry are applied to the use of noise in music. The rational explanation of randomness in various specified contexts, and the active manipulation of probability that this enables, is opposed to the political and aesthetic tendencies to fetishize indeterminacy. This multi-level account of constrained randomness contributes to the debate by demystifying noise, showing it to be an intrinsic and functionally necessary condition of reason and consequently of freedom.
Integration of Reforming Catalyst into Metal-Supported Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Operating on Alternative Fuels

description: The work in this dissertation studies summarizes the efforts of integrating the internal reforming catalyst in metal-supported solid oxide fuel cell (MS-SOFC), especially for operation under ethanol steam reforming (ESR) conditions, with the objective to enhance the cell’s electrochemical performance and long-term stability. A 5 wt.% Rhodium-ceria zirconia (Rh/CZ) catalyst was found to have an exceptional performance towards ESR reaction when applied in front of conventional nickel-yttria-stabilized zirconia (Ni/YSZ) anode-supported and electrolyte-supported button cells. The catalyst was also infiltrated into the MS-SOFC via the precursor infiltration technique. X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) analysis reveal the infiltrated 5 wt.% Rh/CZ was uniformly dispersed within the porous metal support and could give more than 100 h of cell voltage stability during the constant current stability under ESR conditions by producing sufficient syngas and preventing coke formation.
description: Nickel-molybdenum-ceria-zirconia (NiMo/CZ) catalyst was tested as an alternative non-noble metal catalyst due to its capability to break the C-C bond, which can help enhance the ESR reaction. When applied in MS-SOFC, the cell showed excellent stability within 90 h before it was permanently deactivated due to coking.
description: Lastly, this dissertation shows an effort in regenerating MS-SOFC and reforming catalyst using air pulse. Since the MS-SOFC with non-noble metal catalyst is still prone to deactivation by coking, regenerations steps were performed by a short air pulse to the anode surface of MS-SOFC to burn-off carbon deposit and recover the cell performance. The MS-SOFC deactivated under ESR condition was recovered after 3 minutes of air pulsing at 700 °C. The long-term effect of air pulsing still needs to be investigated to observe how the regeneration steps will affect the MS-SOFC structural integration and stability during the operation in ethanol steam reforming conditions.
title: Education as Mutual Translation: A Yoruba and Vedantic Interface for Art School Pedagogy
Creators: name: Thapalyal Hyland, Ranjana

Subjects: subject: philosophy of education, higher education, art education, art school pedagogy, higher education pedagogy, Vedanta philosophy, Yoruba philosophy, art pedagogy, self in education, Viveka in education, karma yoga in education, Yoruba ideas in education, Yoruba Vedanta interface, intercultural education, intersectional education, hybridity, Barnett, Freire, postcolonial critique in education

description: This thesis proposes that concepts of self and mutuality with others, found in ancient Indian (Hindu Vedantist) and Yoruba (West African) philosophies can be applied to art school pedagogy and potentially beyond. Mind, self, identity and agency in these traditions echo recent thinking on the student being by Ronald Barnett, and critical consciousness as defined by Paulo Freire. Situating oneself as part of, yet distinct from others, leads naturally to reflection on the nature of self and identity; the thesis urges that art education engage with more awareness of students as cultural, political, and ontological entities, and with learning and teaching as an act of mutual exchange.

In support, case studies are presented, gathered through dialogic interviews in a project called 4 Minds. These capture students’ experience of art school pedagogy, Yoruba and Vedantic ideas of the self in relation to society, and their views on the constitution of the self and its role in education. Research methodology and methods employed are reflexive and phenomenological; their impetus has come from responses to a course on Yoruba, Hindu and postcolonial theory, leading to an in-depth examination of its contents, pedagogic tools, and implications for creative education. From this has emerged a theoretical framework for extracting key elements of the originating course and its pedagogic strategies, underscored by specific Yoruba and Vedantic concepts in dialogue with Barnett and Freire.

description: Integrating piezoelectrics with the standard complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) process presents new opportunities for monolithic microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) with scaled size, weight, and power (SWaP). Unlike traditional electrostatic transduction in CMOS platform, piezoelectric actuation allows higher sensitivity and electromechanical coupling, and as such, has been recently adopted by foundries like TSMC and Globalfoundries in their standard CMOS lines for commercial MEMS applications. In this research, a tunable ferroelectric capacitor (FeCAP)-based unreleased RF MEMS resonator is presented, integrated seamlessly in Texas Instruments’ 130nm ferroelectric random-access memory (RAM) process. To achieve high-quality factor (Q) of the resonator, acoustic waveguiding for vertical confinement within the CMOS stack is studied and optimized. The FeCAP resonator is demonstrated with fundamental resonance at 703 MHz and Q of 1012. This gives a frequency-quality factor product which is 1.6x higher than the most state-of-the-art Pb(Zr, Ti)O3 (PZT) resonators. Moreover, ferroelectric poling parameters are investigated to demonstrate bias-dependent pole/zero transitions accompanied by 180° phase shift in multiple mechanical modes of the device. The resonator’s Butterworth-Van Dyke (BVD) model is modified to capture this unique switching and frequency-hopping mechanism. The designs are monolithically integrated into solid-state CMOS technology, with no post-processing or release etch step which is typical of other MEMS devices. These novel switchable resonators may have promising applications in on-chip timing, ad-hoc radio front ends, and chip-scale sensors. In order to best leverage these new CMOS-MEMS resonators for RF signal processing, synchronized clock arrays, and on-chip sensors requiring a network of such resonators working together, we require the ability to route and manipulate mechanical signals within the CMOS stack. At high frequencies of operation, it is particularly important to minimize propagation losses and control the dispersion of elastic waves. Therefore, this research also proposes the design of new acoustic metamaterials in order to localize, guide, and split elastic waves with low dispersion. These designs will be prototyped in an AlN piezoelectric platform for the proof of concept but can translate with small modifications to direct CMOS implementation.

description: We consider the hydrodynamic origin of anomalous current fluctuations in a family of stochastic charged cellular automata. Using ballistic macroscopic fluctuation theory, we study both typical and large fluctuations of the charge current and reproduce microscopic results which are available for the deterministic single-file limit of the models. Our results indicate that in general initial fluctuations propagated by Euler equations fully characterize both scales of anomalous fluctuations. For stochastic dynamics, we find an additional contribution to typical fluctuations and conjecture the functional form of the typical probability distribution, which we confirm by numerical simulations.

title: Branding Burberry: Britishness, Heritage, Labour and Consumption
Creators: name: Weston, Sian
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: luxury fashion production, the ‘bad’ consumer, the construction of heritage, thrift, fashion, class, gender

description: This thesis examines British fashion company Burberry, and how it moved from its semi-rural craft-based origins in the mid-19th Century, to become a successful, global luxury fashion brand in the 21st Century. 

The thesis uses different methodological approaches including interviews with factory workers, archive materials, historical government documents, images from branding campaigns, and Internet responses in order to build a rich narrative starting from Burberry’s beginning in 1856.

Changes to shifting retail and production landscapes, marketing, consumer demographics, and management structures are traced over a period of 150 years, and show how a company re-brand in 1997 generated structural contradictions within each of those areas, shaping its future both inside the company and externally.   
 
Burberry’s use of new technologies and social media in tandem with ‘heritage’ images and products shows how harnessing them together created new and lucrative global markets for the brand. Similarly, its long history is used to create an idealised ‘old England’ for the export market, particularly for consumers with a purely online relationship with the brand, though analysis of international and national markets reveals how contradictions in campaigns created outcomes that could not be predicted. 
 
The company re-brand is used as a focus to examine how Burberry attracted young, British working-class consumers, and how that caused sections of the UK media and the general public to protest against those seen as ‘bad’ consumers, capable of damaging brand value. Equally, issues of class and ethnicity cut across the company, primarily in terms of ‘whiteness’, showing how the brand has been used to further devalue the cultural capital of working class consumers and a single so-called ‘celebrity chav’.
 
The thesis shows how although Burberry positions itself within the luxury market, its meaning remains mobile, which is simultaneously precarious, contradictory and paradoxical.

description: The text of the Enuma Elish ('When on High' )was closely connected with the observance of the New Year’s Festival at Babylon, and it was recited at the end of the fourth day of this celebration. This Festival lasted from the first to the eleventh of the month Nisan. The Enuma elish was recited in its entirety by the high priest before the statue of Marduk. Later in the course of the festival, the Enuma elish was recited again, or perhaps chanted, on another but undetermined day. The text of the liturgy recounts the creation of the world, and tells us a great deal about the Babylonian conception of reality.

description: A growing number of local governments are adopting Green Infrastructure (GI) as a strategy for urban stormwater management. In the United States, GI has gained particular momentum through federal initiatives. Previous studies have identified regulatory factors playing a pivotal role in the adoption of GI at the local level. However, the integration of GI with federal enforcement actions has received limited research attention. This study examines the first generation of federal consent decrees with GI provisions to provide insights into federal GI policy and local GI planning. The findings reveal inconsistency in GI requirements, with some cases merely encouraging GI adoption, while others mandating a more specific approach to planning and implementation. Drawing on existing GI scholarship, the results of this study suggest the establishment of universal requirements, such as piloting projects, defining success criteria, and incorporating equity considerations into local GI planning.

THE PERSISTENCE OF STATE DISINTEGRATION IN SOMALIA BETWEEN REGIONAL AND GLOBAL INTERVENTION
Creators: name: MALITO, DEBORA VALENTINA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2013

description: Since the state collapsed in 1991 Somalia has been embroiled in a permanent civil war, the central sovereignty hibernated in a protracted state of implosion, while the state?s integrity has been shattered by a process of territorial fragmentation. While most of the literature revolving around determinants and outcomes of disintegration has paid little attention to the role played by foreign actors, the contemporary stalemate in Somalia has become stagnant within constant, continuous and pervasive international interventions: the UN peace making and peace enforcement operations (1992-1995), the Ethiopian-Eritrean proxy war (1998-2000) and the glocal counter-terrorism (2001-2010).
Employing an integrated model of external intervention based on the theories of Ruth Iyob and George Modelski, this study makes use of process-tracing and structured, focused comparison to systematically explore similarities and differences within interventionist practices in Somalia. In focusing on causal mechanisms, this study identifies the conditions that affected the failure of the internationally-led peace-building efforts mustered in response to the state collapse.
This analysis highlights how both global and regional interventions have contributed to prolong disintegration, through the outsourcing of sovereignty?s functions and the internationalization of the internal conflict. The UNOSOM intervention mostly has corresponded with subversion outcomes occurring when intervention is oriented to isolate the insurgents. The regional intervention has complied with the expected outcomes of the regional conflict that move hegemonic and diasporic states to regionalize their rivalries. And lastly, the glocal anti-terrorism has followed an isolationist trend oriented to curb those revolts considered too dangerous for the survival of rules sustaining the international system. This analysis also demonstrates to what extent the militarization of the process of reconciliation and the penetration of foreign security interests into the structure of the internal conflict favoured a slide towards a modern version of trusteeship.

description: Traditionally, integrated land-use/transportation models intend to represent all opportunities of travel and household location, maximize utilities and find an equilibrium in which no person or household could improve their satisfaction any further. Energy scarcity, higher transportation costs, and an increasing share of low-income households, on the other hand, demand special attention to represent constraints that households face, rather than opportunities for utility maximization. The integrated land-use model SILO explicitly represents various constraints, including the price of a dwelling, the travel time to work, and the monetary transportation budget. SILO ensures that no household makes choices that violate these constraints. Implementing such constraints helps SILO to generate more realistic results under scenarios that put current conditions under a stress test, such as a serious increase in transportation costs or severely increased congestion.

description: Authoritarian leaders around the world have recognized that citizen engagement is a core element of successful environmental governance. Faced with a massive environmental crisis, also authoritarian China is mobilizing its citizens to address its ecological problems. However, taking a functional approach to public participation, the Chinese party-state like other authoritarian regimes attempts to channel citizen action into institutional pathways and away from more contentious extra-institutional ones. Little research has investigated citizens’ reactions to such attempts. This paper analyses citizen participation between institutional and extra-institutional venues at the case of Chinese environmental governance. It finds that Chinese citizens use a mix of both channel types, but are overall more drawn to extra-institutional channels despite the risks. Moreover, our findings point to different motivations for the use of venues: personal grievances are more linked with the use of institutional channels, broader environmental concerns with extra-institutional ones. This shows, first, that channeling attempts have not yet been successful in crowding out noninstitutional channels. And second, that citizens seem to attach different meanings to the different channel types. This will make it hard for the Chinese and other authoritarian regimes to phase out extra-institutional action without severe losses for the effectiveness of environmental governance.

description: In this research, the use of a Type-2 superconducting material (i.e. Yttrium Barium Copper Oxide) as a magnetic flux source within synchronous machines is considered. To do so, an analytical model is applied to predict the magnetic field and the currents that are induced within the material when it is magnetized to a mixed-state. These induced currents are then used to model the synchronous machine performance within a 2-dimensional Method of Moments (MoM) formulation. The MoM-based model is used in tandem with a thermal equivalent circuit to calculate the cooling required to keep the YBCO below its critical temperature. These are utilized within a genetic algorithm (GA) to evaluate the tradeoffs between mass and loss for several example electric drives ranging from 10 kW-20 MW. The expected mass and loss of the YBCO machines are compared to those of a standard permanent magnet synchronous machine (PMSM). Specifically, Pareto-optimal fronts are used to assess power levels where cryo-cooled YBCO materials may be warranted.

Theory of polymers in binary solvent solutions: mean-field free energy and phase behavior

description: We present a lattice model for polymer solutions, explicitly incorporating interactions with a bath of solvent and cosolvent molecules. By exploiting the well-known analogy between polymer systems and the $O(n)$-vector spin model in the limit $n \to 0$, we derive an exact field-theoretic expression for the partition function of the system. The latter is then evaluated at the saddle point, providing a mean-field estimate of the free energy. The resulting expression, which conforms to the Flory-Huggins type, is then used to analyze the system's stability with respect to phase separation, complemented by a numerical approach based on convex hull evaluation. We demonstrate that this simple lattice model can effectively explain the behavior of a variety of seemingly unrelated polymer systems, which have been predominantly investigated in the past only through numerical simulations. This includes both, single-chain and multi-chain, solutions. Our findings emphasize the fundamental, mutually competing, roles of solvent and cosolvent in polymer systems.

MOTOR INTENTIONS: CONNECTING INTENTIONS WITH ACTIONS.
Creators: name: BROZZO, CHIARA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2013

description: I defend the idea that the connection between intentions and actions is provided by what I call motor intentions. These are intentions that represent what I term motor outcomes, namely outcomes characterized in terms of movement details, but which, at the same time, enjoy a relative degree of independence from fine movement details. Thus, the content of a motor intention crucially involves one of a limited set of bodily parts, which has to undergo a specific change?one, for instance, that brings it into a specific relation to a certain object (examples are the intention to grasp, or to tear). Consider that a motor representation (see Jeannerod 1994, 2006) represents an action outcome by depicting the self in action as that which determines the kinematic pattern of the movements, and is thus apt to be transformed into movements. A motor intention has either the same content as the corresponding motor representation, or refers to an action outcome by deferring to a motor representation representing that outcome (see Butterfill & Sinigaglia, 2012). I show that the distinctions between prior intentions and intentions in action proposed by Searle (1983) are inadequately motivated, thus differentiating my notion of motor intention from that of intention in action. Finally, I re-interpret the data of some experiments concerning mirror neurons for action in the light of a philosophical framework for intentions that takes into account motor intentions.

description: The precise control over interfacial chemistry at the nanoscale will be beneficial for the fabrication of next-generation materials. Noncovalent functionalization of 2D material interfaces may offer a bottom-up nanofabrication technique to control surface structure and functionality. Sub-10 nm chemical patterns of self-assembled amphiphiles are relevant to a range of applications such as biosensors and antifouling coatings where controlling substrate interactions with the environment are essential. For the high-throughput screening of biomolecular interactions, the specific placement and presentation of functional groups on an interface is desired. In this presented work, we show that nanoscale patterns of self-assembled amphiphiles can be microcontact printed into microscale square arrays as a route to control the placement and presentation of complex functional groups. Within these square arrays the controlled presentation of functional groups is achieved, leveraging the ‘sitting’ phase orientation of diyne phospholipids, where the protruding headgroup is more available for environmental interactions. Additionally, we examine the effect that molecular structure and printing technique have on the pattern fidelity, demonstrating additional control measures may be applicable for noncovalent microcontact printing. For elastomeric materials such as polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), the amorphous surface poorly directs ordered adsorbate assembly, and the hydrophobic surface typically requires hydrophilization for further functionalization. O2 plasma treatment of PDMS material is widely used to hydrophilize the surface prior to grafting additional functional groups; however, O2 plasma can damage the material, leading to cracks and lower mechanic stability. PDMS materials are also susceptible to fouling from the nonspecific adsorption of biomaterials and microbes to the surface. These challenges suggest that it would be beneficial for PDMS material applications to control the surface chemistry of the interface at the nanoscale while preserving the advantageous properties of the material.In this work, we also demonstrate how the nanoscale hierarchical patterns of cationic amphiphiles transferred to PDMS enable us to assemble anionic polyelectrolytes on the surface as a route for fabricating antifouling coatings without the use of O2 plasma treatment. Here, we assemble two differently functionalized PDMS substrates with antifouling properties and compare their impact on the nonspecific adsorption of fluorescent proteins to the surface.

description: Dynamic Binary Instrumentation (DBI) is one way to monitor a distributed system in real-time without modifying source code. Previous work has shown it is possible to instrument distributed systems using standards-based distributed middleware. Existing work, however, only applies to a single middleware, such as CORBA.
This thesis therefore presents a tool named the Standards-based Distributed Middleware Monitor (SDMM), which generalizes two modern standards-based distributed middleware, the Data Distribution Service (DDS) and gRemote Procedure Call (gRPC). SDMM uses DBI to extract values and other data relevant to monitoring a distributed system in real-time. Using dynamic instrumentation allows SDMM to capture information without a priori knowledge of the distributed system under instrumentation. We applied SDMM to systems created with two DDS vendors, RTI Connext DDS and OpenDDS, as well as gRPC which is a complete remote procedure call framework. Our results show that the data collection process contributes to less than 2% of the run-time overhead in all test cases.
