Dissolving Borders: The Integration of Writing into a Movement Practice
This thesis theorises the practice of three female British dance artists, Miranda Tufnell, Helen Poynor and Hilary Kneale. It engages with the central idea that a combined practice of creative writing and movement improvisation enhances the artist's articulation and assimilation of the experience …

Contemporary Landscape Photography: Dissolving Boundaries in Jungjin Lee’s Wind Series
In the Wind series (2004-2007), Korean photographer Jungjin Lee captures tumultuous views of the American desert. These photographs are printed on handmade mulberry paper, which Lee sensitizes by hand and heavily edits in the digital darkroom. Lee’s images are landscapes of a state of mind, evoking …

Dissolving differences: Law and water's role in legitimizing global hierarchies
We live under the false illusion that there is an infinite supply of water on earth. In reality, quantities of available freshwater have remained constant for at least 2000 years while the global population has increased 33 fold during this same period. Rainfall remains the only form of renewable …

Floppy realism: a strategy for dissolving form and space in painting
Floppiness proceeds from one of the most valuable properties of paint -‐ its solubility. The liquid condition of paint resists describing stabilised forms and allows for unexpected permutations, acknowledgement of which opens up new possibilities for authorship. It can soften, dissolve, or extend …

Development of a Mathematical Model for Monitoring Recovery Boiler Dissolving Tank Sounds
… of kraft pulp mills, molten smelt falls into the dissolving tank where it interacts violently with hot water. These smelt-water interactions allow for fast smelt dissolution, however too many violent interactions can also cause equipment damage. In severe cases, violent smelt-water interactions …

Epicutaneous Delivery of Allergens Using Dual Stimuli-Responsive Liposomes-Loaded Dissolving Microneedles
… SC, allergen-loaded liposomes incorporated into dissolving microneedles (dMN) were developed. The compatibility of food allergens with stigmasterol (STG)-based liposomes, their release kinetics in response to various stimuli, and the suitability of liposomes in microneedle formulations were …

Lymph-targeted intradermal delivery of antiretroviral agents via dissolving polymeric microarray patches
… intradermal injections come with many drawbacks. Dissolving polymeric microarray patches (MAPs) are minimally-invasive and self-disabling delivery systems that can be employed for intradermal administration of various compounds. This thesis explores, for the first time, the lymph-targeted …

Development of dissolving and hydrogel-forming microneedles for delivery of vancomycin hydrochloride
… thesis aimed to investigate the development of dissolving and hydrogel-forming MN for the facilitated delivery of vancomycin hydrochloride (VCL). VCL was formulated into dissolving MN (DMN), in combination with a variety of different excipients. In an alternate approach, VCL reservoirs, namely …

Enhancing the Shared Mobility Market: Dissolving Market Segmentation and Understanding Market Friction
… multiple platforms, providing a natural way of dissolving the market segmentation. However, the presence of significant market friction preventing platform drivers from multi-homing has been found in a recent survey distributed in Jakarta, Indonesia. In this thesis, we taxonomize and estimates …

Preparation and characterization of fast dissolving pullulan films containing griseofulvin nanoparticles for bioavailability enhancement
The aim of this study is to enhance the bioavailability of griseofulvin, a model poorly water-soluble drug, via increasing drug dissolution rate through preparation of drug nanoparticle-laden, pullulan-based strip films. The work entails (i) wet-milling griseofulvin in a stirred media mill using …

Breathing space : cross-community professional theatre as a means of dissolving fixed geographical landscapes
… professional theatre as a means of dissolving fixed georgraphical landscapes. Key to this is the synergy between mainstream and community theatre, out of which this idea emerges. I explore how theatre facilitates conversations across differences. 'Differences' encompass questions of …

The power of equity : private motivations and public implications of dissolving affordable housing cooperatives
From 1955 to 1978, New York City and state subsidized the construction of over 67,000 middle-income, limited-equity cooperatives in the city through Mitchell-Lama -- a program often considered one of the most successful efforts to produce affordable housing in American history. By restricting the …

Manufacturing of a fast-dissolving dosage form - investigating powder handling and control of surface characteristics
… stage in the manufacture of a proprietary fast dissolving dosage form (FDDF), involves dissolution/suspension of the active agent in an aqueous solution. To allow use of aqueous labile drugs and/or coated drug particles in the FDDF, the development of an alternative approach is sought i.e. that …

Can photography describe its own event? : the dissolving of the classical perspective in the concept of photography
The thesis title "Can photography describe its own event?" is purposefully designed to ask very complex questions of the medium of photography in it's present moment. It is a question, which employed under differing conditions of thought throughout the thesis tests photography against the fields of …
