Visible structures
All architecture is the interplay between structure, surface and ornament. Traditionally, ornament adorned structure thereby giving it its meaning. A society with its intellectual foundations resting in faith or the abstract emphasized the ornament over the structure. The growth of Rationalism and …

Zoomorphic Architecture: The Carolina Coastal Museum
… anthropomorphism. The building is based upon the skeletal structure of a fish, the main element being the spine. Other natural elements such as ligaments, cartilage, respiratory system, and circulatory system were also explored and utilized within the project.

Codes of Interaction
… explores my curiosity about the internal, skeletal structure of things and how they operate. I explain how the paintings are idiosyncratic hybrids that evoke animation, imaginary scientific propositions, blueprints, maps, and advancing technologies. The work combines these interests with my …

Flavone: the Molecular and Mechanistic Study of How a Simple Flavonoid Protects DNA from Oxidative Damage.
… metal chelation, and substrate association. The skeletal structure of flavonoids is a fused ring system modified by hydroxyl, sugar, and carbohydrate additions. Flavone is a structurally simple flavonoid. Quercetin and its glycosidic analog rutin are complex structures. Using a DNA …

Experience in Action: Incorporating Somatic Education into the General Music Classroom
… students can move in a manner that relies on the skeletal structure rather than muscular effort, thus preventing common pains and music-related performance injuries.</p>

Glocalizing Forests: Transnational Networks and the Geography of Global Climate Policy
… networksof transnational actors that make up its skeletal structure. The transnational networks supporting REDD+ policy development and implementation are geographically uneven, centered on donor countries of the global North and in particularcities like Washington, DC, and Geneva, Switzerland. …

The study of a 3 3-dimentional structure of the congenital anomalous stape stapes compared with normal s stape stapes using Micro Micro-CT
… There is limited information about the internal structure of congenital anomalous ossicles. Recently, Micro CT scanning technology has been applied to analysis of skeletal structure. The data of normal ossicles and pathologic ossicle destructed by cholesteatoma were reported in our hospital. This …

An investigation of the interfacial characteristics of nitinol fibers in a thermoset composite
… frequently utilize composite materials as the skeletal structure. In order for composite materials to be utilized in intelligent material systems to their utmost capability, many material properties, including the interfacial shear strength between the embedded sensor or actuator and the matrix …

3x5 for concert band ; an analysis of the numerical bases of rhythm, gesture, melody and form
… and their interaction generate both the formal skeletal structure of the work and aspects of the content of the work as well. v The use of these generative numbers gives the piece a unifying framework and generates musical interest through gestures and events that correspond to the numbers. For …

Trajectory optimization and data-driven modeling for robotic bat flapping flight
… explored modeling for aerial vehicles with a skeletal structure throughout the wings and a single flexible membrane that covers the wings and tail such as is found in robots with bat morphology. In this dissertation, we build upon previous efforts to model a robotic bat and present a …

Rare and problematic taxa from the Much Wenlock Limestone Formation
… Formation. By analysis of their body morphology, skeletal structure and growth pattern, machaeridians are interpreted here as molluscs, probably the sister group of Polyplacophora + Conchifera. Using a similar approach, Cornulites is interpreted as a stem group anthozoan. Cornulites species show …

Coordination between hand and trunk movements in a Fitts' Law task
… are not determined solely by the muscular skeletal structure involved in the coordination, but are determined by the interaction of biomechanical constraints and task constraints imposed on the action of the effectors. The central nervous system controls the formation of synergies to …

Limbs gone batty : the role of the anterior-posterior patterning signal, Sonic Hedgehog, in the development of the unique bat limb
The unique skeletal structure of the bat forelimb and hindlimb provides a new and exciting model for the field of evolutionary developmental biology, which seeks to reveal the molecular mechanisms behind vertebrate limb diversity. The digits of the bat forelimb, excluding the thumb, are …

A systems approach to conceptual design solutions for a very tall building in Hong Kong
… These would need to be supported by a skeletal structure of building systems that would include structural, transportation, service, climate control and inhabitation systems. Amongst designers and engineers there exists much discussion about building 'super tall buildings'. Yet there …

Quantitative tracking of the cellular and skeletal response of the Caribbean coral Orbicella annularis to gradients in marine sewage pollution
… in O. annularis tissue cellular composition and skeletal structure have been tracked across a 75 km-long gradient from clean to polluted seawater on the fringing reef of the leeward coast of the island nation of Curaçao. A unidirectional ocean current flows to the northwest past the capital city …

Identification of genetic variation in the Keratin-associated protein and KRT33A genes of the Swakara sheep of Namibia
… proteins (KAPs). The KRTs form the skeletal structure of the wool fiber (micro-fibrils) and are embedded in a matrix of KAPs through disulphide cross-linkages. Genetic variation in the keratin genes may be associated with pelt quality traits. Pelt quality is determined by the unique …

Characterizing Femoral Structure of the Ts66Yah Mouse Model of Down Syndrome
… of human chromosome 21 (Hsa21) and can result in skeletal deficits, including lower bone mineral density (BMD) and increased risk of fracture and osteoporosis or osteopenia earlier than the general population. Mouse models of DS have been developed to understand the genetic mechanisms resulting in …

Folk Influences of Aaron Copland and Britten
… words represent the muscle of a folk song, the skeletal structure belongs strictly to the melody. In the earliest versions of folk song, the melody was sung alone. However, instruments such as the dulcimer, banjo and the guitar slowly became associated with folk-song over time (Kingman 15). The …
