The problem of the sacred in postmodern museum practice : some thoughts on the Rideau Street Convent Chapel in the National Gallery of Canada
… placing the spiritual potency of the work in suspended animation. I investigate how high art museums, which can be considered modern temples of the dominant culture's secular cult of beauty, appropriate the 'spiritual capital' of such works for their own purposes. Such architectural …

Object-Oriented Implementation of the minimally restrictive liveness enforcing supervisory policy in a class of Petri nets
… some events will enter into a state of suspended animation for perpetuity, while others proceed with no impediment. This report is about the automatic synthesis of Liveness Enforcing Supervisory Policies (LESPs) for Petri net models of DEDS systems. Past research has shown that the …

Adsorption, encapsulated solute leakage and microflow of giant vesicles during anhydrobiotic preservation in trehalose solutions
… and storing mammalian cells in a state of "suspended animation" at ambient conditions in carbohydrate glasses. Although there have been promising applications of this technique, especially when employing the disaccharide trehalose, the ultimate goal of room temperature long-term storage has …

Hierarchical supervisory control of complex Petri nets
… where some process enters into a state of suspended animation for all perpetuity, and the user is left with no other option than to forcibly kill the suspended job, or reboot the machine. This thesis is about finding supervisory control policies that enforce livelock-freedom in large …

Intensive War : Not the Beginning, Not the Middle, Not the End.
… render our imagination of war into a state of 'suspended animation', they also carry with/in them a profound 'performative contradiction' that necessarily fractures the state-centric concept of war. This thesis' investigations reveal that such a fracturing far from paralyzing the project of …

On computing a liveness enforcing supervisory policy for a class of general petri nets
… where some process enters into a state of suspended animation for perpetuity, and the user is left with no other option than to terminate the process, or reboot the machine. This thesis is about computing Liveness Enforcing Supervisory Policies (LESPs) for Petri net (PN) models of DEDS …

Transcriptomic and proteomic analysis of anhydrobiosis in Panagrolaimus superbus and Caenorhabditis elegans dauer larvae
… of their cellular fluid by entering a state of suspended animation known as anhydrobiosis. The mechanisms which allow these organisms to survive desiccation are poorly understood. The nematodes Panagrolaimus superbus and Caenorhabditis elegans are able to survive extreme desiccation. These …

The Physiological and Biochemical Understanding of 5’-Amp Induced Deep Hypometabolism
<p>Our laboratory’s ability to induce deep hypometabolism (DH) via an injection of adenosine monophosphate (5’-AMP) followed by placement in an ambient temperature (Ta) around 15oC currently can last about 3-9 hours. While we have insight into how 5’-AMP induced hypometabolism is initiated, it …

Through Vial Impedance Spectroscopy (TVIS): A novel process analytical technology for investigating the thawing of frozen cell suspensions.
… to maintain cell functionality in a state of suspended animation by freezing the cells and holding at low temperatures (–40 °C to –196 °C) for long periods of time. However, many cell types die when they freeze because of intracellular ice formation causing cell disruption from within (Inc. …
