Hidden Interiors
… supports the creative thesis entitled "Hidden Interiors: An Investigation of Containers and Their Hidden Compartments". The body of work that I am presenting for exhibition consists of containers fabricated from precious metals and adorned with precious and semi-precious materials. The hidden …

Objects and interiors
I am attracted to the object/mechanical forms of typewriters, vacuums, lanterns and irons because they are part of my personal world and they have an implied human presence. I see them not only as figurative, but also as feminine. Their general shapes/forms, complicated mechanisms, implied energy …

Design of intelligent interiors
… the design of interior spaces? Intelligent interiors can be more flexible and expressive than traditional spaces. Automation, personal fabrication and augmented reality can be applied to interior spaces with new interaction modes that operate at an architectural scale. Water, light, and …

The Impact of Climate Change on Historic Interiors
… for the preservation of historic collections and interiors, if the environment is unsuitable it can create an increased risk of damage. In historic houses collections are usually on open display, and the room environment often has little control thus it is vulnerable to changes in the outdoor …

3D Reconstruction of Building Interiors Using Point Clouds
The automatic modeling of as-built building interiors, known as indoor building reconstruction, is gaining increasing attention because of its widespread applications. With the development of sensors to acquire high-quality point clouds, a new modeling scheme called scan-to-BIM (building …

Investigating the Characteristics of Exoplanetary Atmospheres and Interiors
The characterisation of exoplanets has made rapid progress in recent years, with observations of bulk properties such as mass and radius combining with detailed atmospheric spectroscopy to provide unprecedented insight into the nature of these remote worlds. However, these high-quality observations …

Passive solar homes and their interiors: homeowner attitudes
This research investigated homeowner rationale for, and feelings about, living in passive solar homes. Satisfaction, use, and extent of involvement with the home and solar features were determined. Twenty-eight owners of passive solar homes from the state of Virginia participated in this study. …

Kinetics of chemical exchange during melting of planetary interiors
Experimental and numerical modeling studies are used to place constraints on the kinetics of chemical exchange during partial melting within the mantles of the terrestrial planets. Chapter 1 presents experiments on the diffusion rates of La, Ce, Nd, Dy and Yb in diopside at pressures of 0 to 2.5 …

Reducing the Compositional and Structural Degeneracy of Planetary Interiors
… My models indicate that only highly mixed interiors – either those with smooth density gradients or those with substantial light elements in the mantle and heavy elements in the atmosphere – are consistent with previous Voyager 2 measurements. Additionally, I demonstrate that the UOP can …

Geophysical evolution of planetary interiors and surfaces : Moon & Mars
The interiors and surfaces of the terrestrial planetary bodies provide us a unique opportunity to gain insight into planetary evolution, particularly in the early stages subsequent to accretion. Both Mars and the Moon are characterized by well-preserved and ancient surfaces, that preserve a record …

Experimental studies of melting and crystallization processes in planetary interiors
Melting and crystallization processes on the Earth and Moon are explored in this thesis, and the topics of melt generation, transport, and crystallization are discussed in three distinct geologic environments: the Moon's mantle, the Greenland ice sheet, and the Earth's crust. Experiments have been …

Hypervelocity impacts and the evolution of planetary surfaces and interiors
… impact processes to the evolution of planetary interiors as well as impact structures on planetary surfaces. Chapter 2 is concerned with developing methods for estimating the amount of heat deposited deep in terrestrial mantles by large impacts. Chapter 3 makes use of these results to compute …

Volatiles as a link between planetary interiors and the environment
Volatiles derived from planetary interiors influence magma evolution and environmental processes. Over appropriate timescales, Earth's mantle, crust, ocean, and atmosphere constitute coupled systems. The apparently synchronous Siberian Traps eruption and end-Permian mass extinction offer an ideal …

Prefabricated Interiors: Through the Lens of an Interior Systems Theoretical Framework
… literature on the topic of prefabricated interiors. Prefabricated interiors are fabricated off-site, typically customizanble, transformable, transportable, and place-making within both architecturally defined and non-architectural settings. They foster user attachment, promote regenerative …

Ideas as Interiors: Interior Design in the United States 1930-1965
… of "decoration," in relation to the creation of interiors implied the use of systematic and rational approach based in ideas not personal preferences. By the late 1930s both the discourse and practice of interior design as an alternative to interior decoration had begun to emerge in the United …

Dynamics of the rise of magnetic flux tubes in stellar interiors
In sonnenähnlichen Sternen erhält ein Dynamo-Mechanismus die Magnetfelder. Der Babcock-Leighton-Dynamo beruht auf einem solchen Mechanismus und erfordert insbesondere die Existenz von magnetischen Flussröhren. Man nimmt an, dass magnetische Flussröhren am Boden der Konvetionszone entstehen und …

Analysis and Error Correction in Structures of Macromolecular Interiors and Interfaces
… composition. </p><p>My study of protein interiors finds that 3D structure prediction from sequence (as part of the CASP experiment) is very close to full-atom accuracy. Validation of structure prediction should therefore consider all atom positions instead of the traditional Calpha-only …
