Exploding Aliens and Other Offspring
<p>The goal of <em>Exploding Aliens and Other Offspring</em> is to capture my specific surrealist world point of view provided by the closed-knit crazy community I grew up in alongside my love for cartoonish melodrama. The collection progresses in order of images and the evolution of such themes as …

Exploding the edge : inversions into the urban landscape
… reference planes. By exploiting (and, perhaps, exploding) the edge between open space and building, the design process will treat the building as a landscape in itself as well as a landscape element in relationship to the garden.

Exploding spaces : present and future urban spaces cinematically considered
This study seeks to understand the visual dynamics of contemporary science fiction cities in film by exploring a number of diverse architectural and cinematic influences. The argument is initiated through a consideration of utopianism and science fiction, before moving onto specific architectural …

Exploding anthropocentrism: understanding optical democracy in Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian
In this study, I will attempt to synthesize the aesthetic and metaphysical conceptions of optical democracy. While several critics contend that the concept of optical democracy influences all of McCarthy’s novels, I will limit this treatment to Blood Meridian. By focusing one this one text, I will …

A Search for Astrophysical Radio Transients at Meter Wavelengths
Astrophysical phenomena such as exploding primordial black holes (PBHs), gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), compact object mergers, and supernovae, are expected to produce a single pulse of electromagnetic radiation detectable at the low-frequency end of the radio spectrum. Detection of any of these pulses …

Experimental studies of the electrothermal instability using electrically thick, coated metal
… insulating dielectric inertially tamps the hot, exploding metal, and keeps it at a larger density relative to uncoated metal at the same temperature. This prevents the metal from entering the liquid-vapor bi-phase region, which suppresses plasma formation, and enables prolonged observation of the …
