From brush painting to high relief.
… a texture-mapped high relief model from a single brush painting is presented in this work. The aim of this work is to extract the brush strokes from a painting and generate the individual corresponding relief proxies rather than recovering the exact depth map from the painting, which is a tricky …

Tuning Melt/Brush Interactions for Functional Polymer Films
… by surface and interfacial properties. Polymer brushes can modify the chemistry, energetics and function at a polymer/substrate or polymer/air interface. This thesis describes two systems where the structure and function of a polymer coating are controlled by interactions at a brush/melt …

Brush Mountain Ranger Station: An Exploration of Structure
The thesis is an inquiry into what is architecture, and what are the ideas that influence architecture and its creator, the architect. The resulting answer is structure. Structure is the essential component of architecture. It gives form and limits to a space, and provides a medium to transform the …

Perceived efficacy and utilization of the OralCDx brush biopsy
The OralCDx is a preliminary screening tool developed to identify suspicious lesions. Despite large numbers of persons diagnosed with oral cancers annually, minimal research has been conducted on the efficacy and utilization rates of OralCDx. The purpose of this study is to determine perceived …

Retroviruses in the common brush-tailed possum (Trichosurus vulpecula)
… of, retroviruses in a marsupial, the common brush-tailed possum (Trichosurus vulpecula). Initial efforts were directed at detecting exogenous retroviruses in possums, but the majority of the work described in this thesis involved the isolation and characterisation of a possum endogenous …

Volumetric cloud generation using a Chinese brush calligraphy style
… address this problem. With the use of only one brush and one colour, an artist can paint a vivid and detailed landscape efficiently. In this research, we develop three emulations of a Chinese brush: a skeleton-based brush, a 2D texture footprint and a dynamic 3D footprint, all driven by the …

Applications of Brush-Type Chiral Stationary Phases in New Chromatographic Techniques
Chromatographic enantioseparations are an important class of resolutions by which a chiral stationary phase (CSP) is utilized to affect the separation of a mixture of enantiomers to provide, as the end result, the single enantiomers of the mixture. In the studies described within, three areas …

Characterization of methionine transport in bovine intestinal brush border membrane vesicles
Characteristics of methionine uptake by brush border membrane vesicles of bovine small intestine were investigated. Alkaline phosphatase marked the brush border membrane fraction obtained through differential centrifugation followed by a sucrose gradient. This preparation yielded a 10-fold …

Soil-vegetation relationships of a bitter-brush-sagebrush association in northwestern Colorado
… with native vegetation responses in a bitterbrush (Purshia tridentata), sagebrush (Artemisia ~•) association on a single parent material. The effort was directed toward isolating those soil characteristics which are most valuable as indicators of potential vegetation production. Detailed soil …

Direct Measurements of Polyelectrolyte Brush Responses using Atomic Force and Optical Microscopy
In this thesis, so-called ”polyelectrolyte brushes” are addressed. The focus is on the investigation and understanding of the response properties of these polymer surfaces. For that purpose new methods are developed which combine force spectroscopy and optical microscopy. As well, established …

Synthesis and Characterization of Siloles, Silole-Containing Polymers and Photoswitchable Polymer Brush
… we prepared photo-switchable polymer brush on silicon surfaces. Photoswitchable polymer brushes consisting of N-isopropylacrylamide and photoactive spiropyran moiety were synthesized by Reversible Addition-Fragmentation chain Transfer (RAFT) polymerization method. These brushes …

Non-electrolyte transport in brush border membrane vesicles from bovine small intestine
Transport properties of bovine intestinal brush border membranes were investigated. Isolation of brush border membrane vesicles involved magnesium precipitation followed by a sucrose density gradient. Characterization by alkaline phosphatase activity (the brush border marker enzyme) showed 7 fold …

Characterization of Glycyl-Sarcosine Uptake by Ovine Intestinal Brush Border Membrane Vesicles
… from five sheep was studied through the use of brush border membrane vesicles (BBMV). Preliminary experiments determined that incubation in hyaluronidase is not necessary in order to separate mucosal tissue from the basement membrane and that the stop solution used in the uptake study needed to …

"A Painter's Brush That Also Makes Poems": Contemporary Painting After Northern Song Calligraphy
… Song; the belief that the different arts of the brush could be transmuted into each other; and its relation to the past. After outlining the Northern Song aesthetic, I examine two canonical works of calligraphy: Su Shi’s scroll, Rain on the Festival of Cold Food, and Huang Tingjian’s Scroll for …
