Radical based molecular design of discrete and stereoregulated oligomers via photomediated RAFT single unit monomer insertion (photo-RAFT SUMI)
… single unit monomer insertion (Photo-RAFT SUMI) technique, the initial study has achieved perfect monomer sequence control by sequential and alternating insertions of two families of monomers, namely indene and maleimide. In which, two pentamers were successfully synthesized as examples by …

Stereochemical Effect of RAFT Agents on Kinetics of Reversible Deactivation Radical Polymerization
… and prepared by single unit monomer insertion (SUMI) technology to examine their stereochemical effect on kinetics of RDRP. In the first work, diastereomeric CPDTC-Ane was synthesized by inserting the monomer anethole (Ane) into a trithiocarbonate, 2-Cyano- 2-propyl dodecyl trithiocarbonate …

A comparison of mobile search interfaces for isiXhosa speakers
… Software Usability Measurement Inventory (SUMI) instrument, and both interfaces were confirmed as usable. In contrast to what was expected, users preferred the text interface in general, and according to most SUMI subscales. This could be because of greater familiarity with text search …

Medieval Japanese Zen: Catalyst for Symbol System Formation
… included symbolic acts such as tea ceremony, Sumi-e painting styles, Zazen meditation, and haiku poetry. By creating, or providing new reference points for, these highly symbolic acts, Zen Buddhist monks altered the ethos and world-view of medieval Japanese culture in a powerful, pervasive, …

Way of tea, way of life, and way of art education: learning through performative metaphor
This research is a journey of finding my way to understand Chado class in the context of art education. I observed the Chado class at the Midwestern University where eighteen students participated in weekly tea ceremonies. The students learned abstract concepts and meanings through the physical …
