Salamander Modeling: Bridging The Gaps In Environmental Science Accessibility, Grace Leopold

Undergraduate Review

In the realm of science education, ensuring inclusivity and accessibility for all students, especially those with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs), is an imperative goal. IEPs are customized plans designed to support students with diverse learning needs, which can encompass a broad spectrum of disabilities and learning differences (Shaw, 2021). Providing learners with an IEP is an integral part of Special Education, however, there are a host of overarching challenges faced by students with IEPs in science education, especially in environmental science classes. In this thesis, the development and application of clay salamander models are evaluated for their potential to provide …

With Great Power: A Content Analysis Of Masculinities And Appearance-Related Themes In The Marvel Cinematic Universe, Ryan Maxim

Undergraduate Review

Comic book characters and superheroes have served as Hollywood’s biggest cash cow for the last two decades, dominating box office records, over-saturating the release schedules of major movie studios, and influencing the cultural consciousness in a way that is historically unprecedented. The most notable and financially successful example of this trend can be seen in the form of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), a franchise that has grossed an estimated $29.8 billion in box office revenue since its inception in 2008. Due to their immense popularity and global reach, superhero characters serve as role models for young boys and adult …

Varieties Of Exile And Estrangement: Banishment In Shakespeare’S Plays, Patricia Bureau

Undergraduate Review

Literary accounts of exile can be traced back to biblical and ancient times, from Adam and Eve being cast out of Eden as a punishment for disobeying God, to Homer’s The Odyssey composed in the 8th century BCE, which relates a storyabout Odysseus’s journey home after the Trojan War and his exile from his homeland, Ithaca. In ancient Rome, Ovid wrote Tristia and Epistulae ex Ponto, detailing his despair during his exile to Tomis. The 14th-century Divine Comedy explores Dante’s journey from Hell, to Purgatory, then to Paradise in search of a spiritual home during his exile from his beloved …

Chris is brought by his white girlfriend, Rose Armitage (Allison Williams) to spend the weekend at her family’s house with the rest of her white family. He is put in various situations where he is subjected to racist remarks and microaggressions that escalate throughout his stay. As the film continues, Chris learns that the Armitages are partaking in modern-day slave trade by controlling black bodies through hypnosis and the implantation …

‘Within The Reach Of Everyone’: Tracing The Global Strands Of Herrman, Sternbach & Co.’S 1880s Imitation Furs, Laura Johnson

Textile Society of America: Symposium Proceedings

Long before faux furs became trendy, vegan-friendly materials, weavers and textile designers in eighteenth and nineteenth century Europe developed a range of woven goods that offered the haptic qualities of animal pelts. Surprisingly, given their popularity, little research has focused on imitation fur production and consumption at the turn of the twentieth century and its earlier roots. This paper traces the strands linking a group of textile samples donated by New York merchant H. Herrman, Sternbach & Co. in 1884 to (what is today) the Smithsonian National Museum of American History through connecting threads of global production, innovation, and consumption. …

Copyright For Imitations: Looking At The Registered Design Book Of William Stirling & Sons, Isabel Monseau

Textile Society of America: Symposium Proceedings

The design and production of printed cotton in the United Kingdom underwent great changes through the nineteenth century. However as the industry grew, many manufacturers became concerned about a perceived decline in the quality of textile design. An attempt made to regulate this industry, the Copyright of Design Act of 1842, proposed to improve the quality of British production by enabling designers and proprietors to register their textile designs and thus prohibit other firms from pirating those original designs.

Yet imitations were crucial to the development and success of Britain’s cotton printing industry. By the 1870s, up to 60% of …

Woven Life Systems, Melanie Olde

Textile Society of America: Symposium Proceedings

What is it like to be at the intersection between the natural and technological? I see plants as living cloth – can we build cloth using human-evolved technology (weaving) and natural life systems? In this practice-as-research, I take growth models from plants such as algae, then process these codes on a loom to exploring the emergence and narrative that develop.

Looms are tools and technology evolved with humans to organise systems of strands, connecting in myriad ways to form something new. Plants are systems of organised cells, dividing and branching creating functional entities. The commonalities are individual elements and rules …

The Material Life Of A Jiangyi (Taoist Priest Vestment) 18th C. To The Present, Lucinda Pelton

Textile Society of America: Symposium Proceedings

This presentation is an in-depth examination of an 18th century Taoist jiangyi from the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago. It will begin with an explanation of how this garment functioned in Taoist practice, including the many spiritual motifs depicted on its surface. The presentation will then discuss the materials and techniques that make up the textile itself: coarse ramie lining, shell of orange-red silk, border of dark blue silk, and edging of white cotton. Its heavy embellishment includes gilded paper, textured silk threads, and threads made of peacock feathers, worked in a variety of techniques such as embroidery …

A Smart Energy-Efficient Hybrid Gait Monitoring System, Elsa Joy Harris

CGU Theses & Dissertations

Triboelectric nanogenerators are devices that harvest mechanical energy from the environment and turn it into electricity. By coupling the effect of contact electrification and electrostatic induction between two materials that come into contact and then separate they can convert the irregular, low frequency, waste biomechanical energy of human motion into useful electrical energy to run small body-worn electronics. This has shown promising results in multiple applications such as self-powered motion and haptic sensing, self-charging micro-storage devices, neuromorphic computing, and designing batteryless circuits to power small wearables. This work will investigate a smart energy-efficient hybrid gait monitoring system that is powered …
