Water-based digital design and fabrication : material, product, and architectural explorations in printing chitosan and its composites
… little integration between shape formation and materialization resulting in disassociation between shape and matter. Contrarily, in the natural world shape and matter are structured through growth and adaptation, resulting in highly tunable and hierarchically structured constructs, which exhibit …

Prediction of Microstructural and Conformational Evolutions through Application of Steepest-Entropy-Ascent Quantum Thermodynamics
… gas phase systems, in addition to solid-state material phenomena. A precise definition of entropy is crucial for the application of this framework. The SEAQT framework defines entropy in terms of an intrinsic property associated with the energy spectrum of a modeled system, namely degeneracy. …

Schema
A schema is described as a diagram showing the basic outline of something, or as an organizational or conceptual pattern in the mind. It is also, in Kantian philosophy, a method that allows the understanding to apply concepts to the evidence of the senses. My Schema is a model of emergence.

Biological evolution and population change in the European Upper Palaeolithic
… in conjunction with modern, present day skeletal material, studies of late Pleistocene evolutionary change remain inconclusive. The work which has been conducted on Upper Palaeolithic cranial change has proposed that there are regional patterns and differences in cranial robusticity which has been …
