From Skeletons to Orchards
… of Paul Andrew Thies. The first phase is titled "Skeletons and Rhinoceri." It was a phase where I focused on more classical forms of poetry, namely accentual and syllabical sonnets. This phase was greatly influenced by both Charles Baudelaire and William Butler Yeats. The second phase, titled …

Low shrinkage metal skeletons by three dimensional printing
… into 52 [mu]m molybdenum powder. The metal skeletons were infiltrated with epoxies. The shrinkage of these material systems is approximately 0.15% which compares favorably with the 1.5% shrinkage obtained by the standard sinter-based method. It was hypothesized that the shrinkage of this new …

Development of proxy seawater records from gorgonian coral skeletons
… from the chemical composition of biogenic skeletons preserved in the geologic record. The isotope and elemental composition of scleractinian corals have proven to be useful tools for palaeoceanographic reconstruction, providing information about the surface and deep oceans on time scales of …

Chemical investigations into the physiology of bile acid skeletons
… and the radioactive bile acids with different skeletons will be sent to Wake Forest University for membrane penetration assay.

Strengthening porous metal skeletons by metal deposition from a nanoparticle dispersion
… reduce sintering and deformation of porous metal skeletons during liquid-metal infiltration by reinforcing the skeletons with metal deposits. This can be accomplished by depositing a metal from a suspension of nanometer-scale iron particles. The nanoparticle deposits from the suspension …

Materials systems for low shrinkage metal skeletons in three dimensional printing
… binder material. In the current process, metal skeletons are produced by printing a polymeric binder into stainless steel powder. Subsequent heat treatments de-bind and lightly sinter the printed skeletons which are then infiltrated with a molten metal alloy to make a final part. The growth of …

Cages and Skeletons in Digital Animation: A Novel Skeleton-based Approach for Cage Generation
Cages together with skeletons are the most widely used structures to pose a digital character, giving the illusion of its movement. While skeletons are generally used for primary motion, like limbs movements, cages instead, are usually used to enrich primary motion with secondary effects, like body …

Flow injection analysis (FIA) determination of lead by hydride generation in banded coral skeletons /
… calcium carbonate (CaC03) matrix of banded coral skeletons from Si-Chang Island in Thailand.

Silence and the Borrowed Voices of Women in "Skeletons of Men (Otoko no hone: 男の骨)"
… and ΓÇ£borrowed voicesΓÇ¥ as observed in ΓÇ£Skeletons of MenΓÇ¥ written by Enchi Fumiko: 1905-1986). Enchi deconstructs the reified image of women passed down through history by showing how the male-centered Japanese society whether deliberately or unwittingly distorted and manipulated the …

An investigation of skeletons from Type-R settlements along the Riet and Orange Rivers, South Africa, using stable isotope analysis
In the last centuries before incorporation into the Cape Colony, the Riet and Orange River areas of the Northern Cape, South Africa were inhabited by communities of hunter-gatherers and herders whose life ways are little understood. These people were primarily of Khoesan descent, but their large …

Contributions to the chemistry of higher-coordinate Silicon : synthesis, structure, and stereodynamics of new Silicon(IV) complexes with SiO2N2C, SiO4C, or SiO6 skeletons
This thesis contributes to the field of silicon chemistry, with a special emphasis on the chemistry of penta- and hexacoordinate silicon.The spirocyclic zwitterionic Lambda5Si-silicates 1–6 with a (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinio)- methyl group and two identical bidentate chelate ligands derived …

Cobern Street burial ground : investigating the identity and life histories of the underclass of eighteenth century Cape Town
… a burial ground only in 1994, when a number of skeletons were disinterred prior to building operations. Attempts to locate documentary records of the burials have been unsuccessful, and we do not know who these people were. The lack of documentary records is unusual, and suggests that Cobern …

Skeleton-based visualization of massive voxel objects with network-like architecture
… external memory algorithms for computing voxel skeletons of massive voxel objects with complex network-like architecture and for converting these voxel skeletons to piecewise linear geometry, that is triangle meshes and piecewise straight lines. The presented techniques help to tackle the …

THE IMPACTS OF CLIMATE AND THE ENVIRONMENT ON HUMAN SKELETAL MORPHOLOGY DURING THE HOLOCENE IN NORTH CHINA A
… forces and stimuli. A total sample of 533 adult skeletons, spanning from the mid-Neolithic to the twentieth century, was examined. These skeletons represent the ancient agriculturalists, nomadic pastoralists and agropastoralists inhabiting in contemporary Northeast China and modern humans from …

Osteology of the worm snakes (Carphophis)
… of the study were to describe and compare the skeletons of the three forms of Carphophis, evaluate a recent proposal to raise C. a. vermis to full species rank, and compare Carphophis to Calamaria, a genus of fossorial snakes found in Indo-Malayan forests.

Stable carbon isotopic assessment of prehistoric diets in the south-western Cape, South Africa
… measurements on a series of archaeological human skeletons. The results are consistent with a model of prehistoric subsistence behaviour in which people living at the coast made intensive use of marine food resources throughout the Holocene, consuming such a large proportion of these foods that …

Coral biomineralization, climate proxies and the sensitivity of coral reefs to CO2-driven climate change
… to construct their calcium carbonate (CaCO3) skeletons. Key to the coral biomineralization process is the active elevation of the CO2−3 concentration of the calcifying fluid to achieve rapid nucleation and growth of CaCO3 crystals. Coral skeletons contain valuable records of past climate …
