ELEMENTAL
This document is written in support of a creative body of work for the Master of Fine Arts degree at East Carolina University. The work presented focuses on both my relationship with the natural world as well as the complex relationships of man and nature. The visual depictions of work show both a …

Elemental shelters for nomads
"The Stone Age logic said that the wider and heavier the walls, the more happily secure would be the inhabitants. The advent of metal alloys in the 20th century has brought an abrupt change from structural ponderousness to structural lightness." "[...] As a consequence of the myriad of …

Architecture from elemental parts
A simple element that is repeated in a thoughtful, organized manner, can generate a whole that is greater than the sum of the individual elements. Conversely, a large ungainly project can be generated out of the repetition of smaller more manageable parts. This principle is explored in this thesis …

Electronic Stucture of Elemental Boron
… a variety of properties. The primary phases of elemental boron are α-B12, t-B50, γ-B28, and β-B106 and are the focus of this thesis. As a preliminary step to elucidate the properties of these phases, ab initio calculations have been performed to obtain the electronic structure and optical …

Vibrations in elemental amorphous semiconductors
… spectra appropriate to structural models of the elemental amorphous semiconductors a-Ge, a-As and a-Se are presented. Simple dynamical models, involving restoring forces for bond length and angle variations only, provide information on the structure-dependence of the vibrational spectra and hence …

Elemental Anxieties in Jacobean Drama
… of the classical elements. In particular, elemental language comes to the fore in William Shakespeare and John Fletcher's plays produced in the mid-portion of King James's reign. In this thesis, I argue that Shakespeare and Fletcher to use the language of air, water, and fire, in Pericles, …

ON THERMICITY.TECHNOCULTURES, SUBJECTIVITIES, AND ELEMENTAL AESTHETICS
This work offers a pioneering exploration of the aesthetic dimension of heat, examining how the thermal domain—traditionally mediated by technoscientific practices and devices—is experienced, made visible, and conceptualized. The epistemic reduction of heat to temperature measurement has …

Elemental Stoichiometry of Freshwater Hyporheic Microorganisms
… focuses on the bacterial diversity including elemental stoichiometry along a hyporheic flowpath underlying the Nyack floodplain. We isolated and characterized 44 bacterial strains, sampled microbial biofilm communities across the floodplain, characterized the bacterial isolates and determined …

Gel electrophoresis for elemental speciation purposes
This work has shown that gel electrophoresis is a relevant fractionation method for trace elements bound to or complexed by macromolecules. Furthermore, detection methods of the trace elements that do not rely on the use of radiotracers were applied, making this combination relevant for materials …

The Space of Construction: Elemental Prefabrication
Can a house be a product? This thesis sets out to form a set of basic elements for a minimum house in light of this question that is both functional and aesthetic. The goal is to develop an efficient prefabricated system of construction analogous to a chart of chemical elements. The modular system …

Machine learning force fields for elemental sulphur
… diagram is one of the most complex ones of all elemental systems, competing with that of carbon. The flexibility of the bonds allows for a variety of motifs: rings of 5 or more atoms in various conformations, short diradical chains and thousands-atoms long polymers to name a few; which give rise …

Integral pieces: an elemental approach to architecture
The roles of the individual elements and their constituent pieces that form the basis for the language of architecture were investigated. Walls, stairs, floors, beams, and other elements are the primary means necessary for the expression of ideas in architectural terms. To effectively use these …

Elemental analysis by neutron time-of-flight spectrometry
Among the more common elements for which neutron activation analysis is not sufficiently sensitive, are carbon, nitrogen and oxygen. These elements are so important that they were selected for study in an attempt to extend the advantages of nuclear methods of analysis to their determination. The …
