Community Mapping: Transforming Thinking and Actions Toward Sustainability

This phenomenological study explored the level of concern regarding issues of sustainability, for individuals residing within one mid-sized Midwestern urban community. Ultimately, this research sought to determine those factors that increase the sense of urgency for some individuals to do more to reduce our global footprint and to create a sustainable future for our children and grandchildren. The participants were chosen via purposeful sampling and the interview process was used for data collection. Several themes uncovered in the study findings were similar to those in the literature review, which include: caring for the environment, making connections within the community, recycling, gardening, and sharing gifts (assets) of each individual. Participants shared their journey in sustainability, which provided insight into what they currently do on a daily basis to care for the environment. To increase their knowledge of sustainability they use the library, television, Internet searches and social media sites. They may also learn from others. In addition, these sustainable practices, when shared, may set the example for others to do more in reducing their global footprint. To support sustainability, community mapping can be a valuable tool to identify recycling centers, farmer’s markets, local suppliers of green products, and other essential locations. Whether hard copy maps, Internet sites or applications (apps) for Apple I-devices or Android devices; community mapping can serve individuals who want to conserve the earth’s resources

REFLECTION HOLOGRAM FOR PARTICLE SIZE MEASUREMENT

Reflection hologram was used to record the transparent dynamic particle. By this method there is high protection to the optical devices. Another information about particle size and particle distribution has been obtained. The major limitation of in-line Fraunhofer hologram has been solved

PARTICLE VELOCITY MEASUREMENT BY HOLOGRAPHY

A double pulsed holography was used to measure the particle velocity and velocity distribution. Semiautomatic technique has been developed at the Department of Physics, Technical University Budapest and used to evaluate the hologram. The velocity of the particle at all points in the sample volume can be measured with high accuracy

Arvjadade statistiline koonduvus

Bakalaureusetöö eesmärkideks on kirjeldada statistiliselt koonduvate ja I -koonduvate jadade omadusi ning võrrelda jadade statistilist koonduvust nende C -summeeruvusega. Leitakse tarvilik ja piisav tingimus jadade statistiliseks koondumiseks ja näidatakse, et kõigi tõkestatud statistiliselt koonduvate jadade ruum on kinnine alamruum kõigi tõkestatud jadade Banachi ruumis. Samuti uuritakse funktsioonide pidevust C -summeeruvuse ja statistilise koonduvuse suhtes. Esitatakse I -koonduvuse ja I* -koonduvuse mõisted ja leitakse tingimus, mille korral need langevad kokku
