Capturing the Ephemeral
This thesis is an investigation into the construction of ephemeral phenomena through material means and at multiple scales. Studies utilized abstract methods that are not immediately relatable to the scale of occupable architecture but at the same time convey inhabitability. These investigations …

Capturing elements in matroid minors
In this dissertation, we begin with an introduction to a matroid as the natural generalization of independence arising in three different fields of mathematics. In the first chapter, we develop graph theory and matroid theory terminology necessary to the topic of this dissertation. In Chapter 2 and …

Selective metal ion-capturing by striped nanoparticles
… striped nanoparticles display a different ion-capturing behaviour, depending on temperature, which has rarely shown in other ion-chelating materials. This was induced by the entropy effect of the flexible hydrophilic ligands on the striped nanoparticles. Finally, the same ion-capturing …

Capturing the human figure through a wall
We present RF-Capture, a system that captures the human figure - i.e., a coarse skeleton - through a wall. RF-Capture tracks the 3D positions of a person's limbs and body parts even when the person is fully occluded from its sensor, and does so without placing any markers on the subject's body. In …
