Techniques in Ambiguity
… and understanding of discrete typological or primitive forms with a focus on material expression. The use of basic, primitive forms is tied to a contemporary discourse of discreteness. Contemporary practitioners are exhausted with the seductive, smooth, continuous envelopes from the 90s …

An investigation of position and force during gait-mimicking finger motions
… legs (tetraplegia or quadriplegia). Currently, primitive forms of feed-forward functional electrical stimulation (FES) and special orthotics are available for persons with paraplegia. However, these forms of FES do not allow the individual to actually control their movements on a real-time …

… can see what is important and appreciate it. “Primitive” forms, stone circles, mounds, and roads are generators of my projects; not in the sense of an homage or reference, but more in the sense of “that was the image I held in mind.” They try to produce some of the same feeling or presence. Few …

Muscle activation mapping of skeletal hand motion: an evolutionary approach.
… equations and is not suitable for real-time platforms like games. Performing such computations at every time-step reduces frame rate. Modern games use generic soft- ware packages called physics engines to perform a wide variety of in-game physical e ects. The physics engines are optimized for …

Functional Organization of Molecular Memories in the CRISPR-Cas Immune System
… Bacteria were once thought to possess only primitive forms of innate immunity, but this notion was turned on its head by the discovery of the CRISPRCas immune system. My thesis work has revealed a deeper complexity of bacterial immunity and evolution by demonstrating that CRISPR systems …

The "virtual density" theory of neutronics
… challenges of geometry changes. Although primitive forms of this theory exist in Soviet literature, they are only applicable to cases in which entire cores swell uniformly. Thus, we conceive a much more general and pragmatic form of "virtual density" theory to model non-uniform and …
