Maßgeschneiderte responsive Mikrogele
… Das bekannteste Mitglied der sogenannten thermoresponsiven, “intelligenten“ Gele ist ein Hydrogel auf der Basis von Poly-N-Isopropylacrylamid (PNIPAM) bei welchem häufig N,N‘ -Methylenbisacrylamid als Quervernetzungsreagenz verwendet wird. Aufgrund dieser einzigartigen Materialeigenschaften …

Multifunctional and Responsive Polyelectrolyte Nanostructures
<p>A polyelectrolyte complex is formed by mixing two oppositely charged polyelectrolytes in a solution. The electrostatic interactions between partially charged polymeric chains lead to the formation of a stable complex while avoiding the use of covalent cross linkers. Since complex formation can …

Designing Magnetically Responsive Ultrafiltration Membranes
… to changes in their environment or “responsive” membranes. Magnetically responsive membranes are a small emerging subset of the investigations in this field. The work in this thesis attempts to expand the knowledge of magnetically responsive membranes and apply it to UF …

Relational knowing and responsive instruction
… previous year. I also argue for high quality, responsive teaching—teaching that acknowledges the needs of individuals and requires teachers to respond in some effective way. This project was a qualitative case study (Dyson & Genishi, 2005) of one fifth-grade classroom teacher as she strove to …

Stimuli-Responsive Metal–Organic Cages
… and/or properties. Studying the stimuli-responsiveness in metal–organic cages provides a platform to mimic biological systems and gain insights into the fundamental principles underlying specific functions. This will also offer valuable guidance for the design of novel responsive …

Responsive wearables for rheumatoid arthritis
… of this thesis is to investigate and create more responsive and adaptive assistive technology for patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), using computational design methods to embed individualized data within the design and materiality. Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic, autoimmune disease that …

Animated props for responsive playspaces
Playgrounds are special places within the urban landscape specially designed for children. Here, they encounter the outdoors and the physical properties of large spaces through play, which allows children to develop their physical skills, explore the natural and built environment as well as …

Stimuli-responsive polymer nanotube arrays
… their bulk counterparts. However, the stimuli-responsiveness of nanotube arrays has seldom been explored, mostly due to the inertness of the materials typically utilized to create them. Here I introduce a new concept of designing and synthesizing surface-bound stimuli-responsive polymer …

A Framework for culturally responsive teaching: Effectively implementing culturally responsive instruction in the science classroom
Culturally responsive instruction (CRT) is a term that has been bandied about the world of education for the past several decades. Despite substantial discussion into the theoretical constructs behind CRT, concrete applications of CRT to the science classroom have yet to be articulated or proposed. …

ETHANOL REGULATION OF GLUCOCORTICOID RESPONSIVE GENES
… have shown that the well-known glucocorticoid responsive gene, Serum and Glucocorticoid-regulated Kinase 1, Sgk1, is prominently up regulated by acute ethanol (2 g/kg) in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) of DBA/2J mice. Functionally, Sgk1 is an important focal point of intracellular signaling …

Bioadhesion to model thermally responsive surfaces
… mixed SAM surface was confirmed to be thermally responsive by contact angle goniometry, 35° at 28 °C and 55° at 40 °C. In addition, the mixed SAM surfaces were confirmed to be thermally responsive for various aqueous mediums by tensiometry. Factors such as oxygen, age, and surface mole fraction …

Enzyme responsive nanomaterials for cancer applications
… microgels as a possible way to obtain enzyme responsive materials. Amine rich microgels, poly(VAM-co-BEVAME) were synthesised and functionalised post-polymerisation with peptides. Due to aggregation issues these systems were not further explored for biomedical applications.

Responsive polymers for optical sensing applications
LCST-type synthetic thermoresponsive polymers can reversibly respond to certain stimuli in aqueous media with a massive change of their physical state. When fluorophores, that are sensitive to such changes, are incorporated into the polymeric structure, the response can be translated into a …

GENERATIVE AND RESPONSIVE DESIGN: THE EMERGENT
When I decided to choose Architecture+Representation as my territory of investigation, I had considerable interest and curiosity in the principles and potential of emerging technologies in the field of architecture. However, I was confused about their significance and goals. Because the theoretical …
