¡Subestándar!: Sub-standard small gauge cinema between Mexico and U.S.A. (1923-1960)
… of dominant media. I offer the example of the small gauge, amateur and semiprofessional, “sub-standard” film scene in Mexico during the middle third of the 20th century, and in the shadow of the mighty Golden Age of Mexican Cinema, which was the darling of global Spanish speaking audiences …

Home movies then and now
… study examines the practices and discourses of small gauge filmmaking and attempts to account for the longevity and persistence of the medium. Emphasis is placed on the perception of the home movie as the primary implementation of amateur filmmaking technology. Some of the issues addressed are: …

Biomaterials for protection and repair of the central nervous system
… cord injury. The gel is injectable through a small gauge needle, cross-links under physiological conditions, and releases methylprednisolone over a time period on the order of weeks. Swelling properties were characterized to address potential safety concerns for potential clinical use. Two …

Valence transition and superconductivity in the extended periodic Anderson model
… we start from an Hamiltonian which includes small gauge symmetry breaking fields. We derive renormalization equations, from which the superconducting pairing functions are self-consistently determined. Our analytical and numerical results show that d- wave superconductivity becomes dominant …

Structure, Properties and Treatments of Carbon Nanotube Fibres
… GPa/SG and 50 GPa/SG, respectively; however, at small gauge lengths (< 2mm) they also show values of 6 - 9 GPa/SG strength and 180 - 390 GPa/SG stiffness. The electrical conductivity of the CNT fibres is approximately 8 x 10$^{5}$ S/m and their thermal conductivity of the order of 50 W/mK. These …

Complicating the nation: the archival legacies of amateur cine-culture in Ireland (1900-1984)
… through the excavation and examination of small gauge cine-engagement as a culturally relegated form of personal and socio-political expression in Ireland from 1900-1980. Amateur cine-culture and filmmaking have existed in Ireland since the earliest days of cinema, though these efforts are …

Multiscale Modeling of CNT-Polymer Nanocomposites and Fuzzy Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composites for Strain and Damage Sensing
… resistivity and the corresponding effective gauge factor under applied strain. The computational results are used to better understand the driving mechanisms for the observed piezoresistive response of the material. The second focus of the work is on modeling the piezoresistive response of …

Hybrid Organic/Inorganic Flexible Structures: Low Temperature Deposition of Silver Conductive Tracks on Flexible Substrates
… using masking techniques and involving a small gauge needle tip luer-lock syringe or a spray gun. Relatively uniform Ag track surface geometries were obtained. Contact angle measurements (<17°) showed good adhesion of the Ag ink on the PEN substrate. Curing of the Ag patterns was …

Development of an Injectable Methylcellulose Hydrogel System for Nucleus Pulposus Repair and Regeneration
… an ideal therapeutic should be injectable via small gauge needle, be retained within the high-pressure intradiscal space, restore biomechanical properties, and deliver therapeutic agents and/or cells to drive tissue regeneration. Therefore, the overall objective of this thesis was to develop …

Long Term Ocular Drug Delivery with Novel Pentablock Copolymers; Part I: Composite Nanoformulation of Macromolecules For Back of the Eye Diseases, Part II: Dexamethasone Nanoparticle to Develop an In Vitro Model for Glaucoma
… room temperature and easy to administer through small gauge needle. Cell viability and cytotoxicity studies confirmed that PBG copolymers are superior biomaterials for ocular delivery. It was observed that the in vitro release pattern was depended on the molecular weight of the macromolecules and …
