Crocheting cultures: Contemporary craft practice in Italy and United Kingdom
Crochet creates a fabric by inter-looping yarn using a hook. Likewise, it produces artefacts and objects inter-looped in the history, culture and physical space of its location. When we look at a piece of crochet crafted by a mature woman, we are looking at what Daniel Miller would describe as a …

Emergent Explorations: Analog and Digital Scripting
… critical judgment and the textile techniques of crochet as a vehicle generate form. Crochet lends itself to this investigation because it is a serial process of fabrication that allows for the introduction of specific non-linear modifications. The resulting emergent forms produced by this mode of …

Applying Art-based Embodied Knowledge to Further Artistic Objectives with Technology and Support Creative Thinking in Computing
… dynamically classified segments of a stitch in crochet, and then conducting co-design sessions with stakeholders. Results demonstrated that using novel sensory-perceptual modalities such as audition to express abstract concepts can be used as a novel UX design tool. In study 2 I sought to …

The nonlinear viscoelastic behavior of adhesives and chopped fiber composites
… with a delayed failure law postulated by Crochet to describe creep rupture data for both materials. Discussion is also given on the feasibility of applying the nonlinear viscoelastic procedures of Schapery in conjunction with the time-temperature superposition principle to obtain a …

Crafting life : a sensory ethnography of fabricated biologies
… DIY (do-it-yourself) biology, hyperbolic crochet, sonocytology, and molecular gastronomy - investigating how they are enmeshed in sensory engagements that employ craftwork as a means of grasping biology. Synthetic biology is a community of bioengineers who aim to fabricate standardized …

a FRAGILE [In] TENSION
… various ceramic procedures, incorporating crochet techniques, and repurposed materials. Each of the materials represents specific memories of the past linked to a place of origin and people deeply attached to me, representing complementary feelings. Ceramic objects were created on the …

Stay in Touch
… of work, I use processes of weaving, knitting, crochet, embroidery and photography to touch the past and to feel reciprocally touched by it. I explore the ability of touch to imaginatively transport a person to another time or place. By embroidering images from my collection of family …

Rate and time dependent behavior of structural adhesives
… with a delayed yield equation proposed by Crochet. Loading-unloading results are presented and are shown to correlate well with the proposed form of the loading-unloading equations for the modified Bingham model. Experimental results obtained for relaxation tests above and below the glass …

Insights into the Development of Chemotherapeutics Targeting PFKFB Enzymes
The PFKFB enzymes control the primary checkpoint in the glycolytic pathway and are implicated in a multitude of diseases: from cancer, to schizophrenia, to diabetes, and heart disease. The inducible isoform, PFKFB3, is known to be associated with the upregulation of glycolysis in many cancers. The …

Crafting Connections: Unpacking Generational Linkages of Craftsmanship, and Memorialising Cultural Traditions
… in practices of beading, weaving, woodwork, crochet, knitting, and sewing. Using a personal connection to craft as a starting point, the research is extended to unpack overarching ideas of craft as a generational link that is embedded in memory and culture, the value and holistic benefits of …

Simulation of nonisothermal and time-dependent viscoelastic flows
… in the fluid. The pseudotime method developed by Crochet and Naghdi (1978) and by Sarti (1977) is used to obtain thermodynamically consistent constitutive equations for the internal energy, the stress, and the heat flux vector. Fourier"s Jaw is assumed for the thermal conductivity, and the …
