Last Stand at Big Thunder Mountain
I seek to pose questions about what people overlook or don't consider when viewing art in order to interpret what they see. When working on a project, I purposely retain the effect of my hand. The false crudeness is enhanced by my use of seemingly impoverished materials. This is akin to seeing the …

Effects of stress on material properties, intrinsic and extrinsic behavior, and electromechanical response of stress-biased actuators
… fulfilled by stress-biased actuators, including Thunder™ (THin UNimorph Driver and sEnsoR). Thunder™ is a composite laminate actuator based on an elastic metal layer and a piezoelectric wafer bonded together with a thermoplastic material (LaRC-SI). On cooling from the processing temperature, the …

The effect of a cross-cultural instructional approach on learners' conceptions of lightning and attitudes towards science
… It explored Basotho conceptions of lightning and thunder under the following themes: nature of lightning, protection against lightning, animalistic/humanistic behaviour of lighting and nature of wounds inflicted by lightning. Fictitious stories were developed around these themes. It was important …
