THE JOY IS IN THE PATTERN
… repetition. I find inspiration in decorative organic form. From wind-swept leaves dancing on an afternoon run and a beautiful bouquet of flowers at the local market stand to the clothes in my closet and cherished domestic objects, pattern adorns every corner of my life. I have incorporated …

Phrases of the kinetic : dynamic physicality as a dimension of the design process
… provide physical feedback, and convey information through physical change. This dissertation postulates that the ability to experiment, prototype, and model with programmable kinetic forms is becoming increasingly important as digital technology becomes more readily embedded in our …

Felinus Domus: A Veterinary Hospital for Cats in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia
Throughout time man has discovered that the human form, in all its harmonious proportion, can be used as a guide, gauge and tool to design and build structures. However, the human figure has not been the only organic form used to create architecture. Many animals create dwellings that synchronize …

Soil Organic Nitrogen - Investigation of Soil Amino Acids and Proteinaceous Compounds
… carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) are predominantly in organic form. Proteins/ peptides, as an important organic form of N, constitute a substantial part of soil organic matter. On one hand, proteins/peptides are an important N source for plants and microorganisms, particularly in soils where inorganic …

BIOLOGICAL AND CLINICAL MARKERS IN PSYCHOPATHOLOGY: FROM VULNERABILITY TO CATEGORICAL DISORDERS
… of first-episode psychosis to rule out the “organic” form of psychosis. The psychopathological process was thus addressed at different stages and from multiple perspectives, with the common aim of better characterizing vulnerability states, facilitating early identification, and supporting …

Investigation of the Relationship Between Particulate Bound Mercury and Properties of Fly Ash in a Full-Scale 100 MWE Pulverized Coal Combustion Boiler
… and deposited on land or water, mercury can transform into methylmercury, an organic form. Mercury can then enter the food chain, which poses a potential threat to human health and the environment. To study the relationship between particulate bound mercury and fly ash properties, fly ash samples …

Characterization of the Arabidopsis glutamine dumper1 mutant reveals connections between amino acid homeostasis and plant stress responses
Amino acids constitute the major organic form of transported nitrogen in plants, elements for protein synthesis, and precursors of many plant secondary metabolites, such as lignin, hormones, and flavonoids. Furthermore, amino acid metabolism lies at the crossroad of carbon and nitrogen metabolism. …

Heterologous Expression of Arabidopsis Thaliana Purple Acid Phosphatase Gene (Atpap15) in Crops for Phytoremediation of Sites Contaminated with Excess Phosphorus
… phosphorus deficient (0mM), optimum inorganic phosphorus (1.25mM), high inorganic phosphorus (20mM) and high organic phosphorus (20mM AMP and IHP)- and analyzed for total biomass, primary root length, soluble phosphorus (Pi) content and acid phosphomonoesterase (Apase) activity. Results …

Behavioural ecotoxicology of the brown shrimp, Crangon crangon : changing colour in polluted environments
… in seafood, a speciation analysis was performed in the dosed specimens. The quantification of the various As species through time suggest the possibility of the brown shrimp to bio-transform inorganic arsenic (iAs) into the less toxic organic form [arsenobetaine (AsB)]. This has relevant …

Understanding the role of host amino acid transporters in nutrient acquisition by oomycete pathogens
… Hpa has lost the ability to assimilate inorganic nitrogen and sulfur. It thus has to acquire these nutrients from the host in an organic form; possibly amino acids. Using a reverse genetic approach, I was able to identify two host amino acid transporters that are up-regulated during Hpa …

The assessment of physicochemical factors influencing phosphorus mineralization and immobilization in an Illinois floodplain soil
… Through microbially mediated immobilization, inorganic P is transformed into an organic form while during mineralization, organic P is converted into a labile, inorganic form, which is more susceptible to loss. In this study, the occurrence of mineralization/immobilization in Illinois floodplain …

Stepping in Iration: Rastafari Ital Livity, Ecologies and Ecotheologies in Saint Lucia/Iyanola
… yearning towards, the greenest and most natural form of all in creation - human, non-human, earth, spirit. “Livity” itself serves as a broad categorisation for an individual’s own spiritual outlook, a “lived” spirituality in contrast to one that exists purely conceptually. “Ital” serves an Iyaric …

Turbo Film As Artistic Apparatus And As Manifesto For The Uncertain Future Of Moving Images
… the perfect ground for the rise of this specific format. In the first section I focus on the recent history of art and filmmaking in the production of moving images. Through a selection of theories and their critiques, I identify the need for a holistic strategy to integrate different practices …

Evaluating the importance of root abscission versus efflux to plant N-loss: consequences for plant N-isotope composition
… N-loss here, although negligible, was in the organic form, which implies root abscission. By contrast, when N supply exceeded plant N demand, plant δ¹⁵N values decreased (e.g. after 47 d, plant δ¹⁵N of RAR 0.075 d⁻¹ was 0.4‰ but was −4.1‰ at RAR 0.175 d⁻¹) because they lost ¹⁵N-enriched N. …

The Effect of Copper and Zinc Source on Pre-Weaning Performance of Cows, Health and Performance of Suckling Calves, and Post-Weaning Feedlot Performance, Carcass Composition, and Meat Quality of Calves
… such as minerals, on progeny growth, performance and carcass traits. Previous research supports the hypothesis that minerals provided in an organic form should be more soluble and readily available to the body for absorption. Therefore the objectives of this study were to determine if …

Rapid Phytate Quantification in Manures and Runoff Sediments using HPIC
… P dynamics in the environment. Phytate is an organic form of P, with 6 phosphate groups, which is found in manures, but is difficult to quantify due to its affinity for complex formation with aluminum (Al) and iron (Fe). The objective of the first study was to measure if high concentrations of …

Sequential extraction of Cu from soil components and Cu-amended soils
… of Cu from a selection of clay minerals, organic materials, and hydrous oxides using reagents suggested in the literature. Adsorption of Cu by these materials was performed at pH 3.5 and 5.5 at two Cu concentrations, in the presence of 0.05 N CaCL₂. Despite the presence of excess …
