The Documentary Art of Filmmaker Michael Rubbo
No full textMichael Rubbo’s groundbreaking work has had a deep and enduring impact on documentary filmmaking worldwide, though his name has remained relatively unknown. In The Documentary Art of Michael Rubbo, author D.B. Jones traces Rubbo’s filmmaking from his days as a film student at Stanford, through his twenty years at the National Film Board of Canada, where Rubbo developed his distinct documentary style. Jones then describes Rubbo’s post-NFB venture into feature film directing, followed by Rubbo’s return to his native Australia, first as an executive with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, and later as a director of feature-length documentaries and maker of short, personal films for YouTube. Exploring locales from Montreal to Vietnam, topics as diverse as plastic surgery and French Marxism, and from interviewing Margaret Atwood to documenting a failed attempt to interview Fidel Castro, Rubbo’s wide-ranging work establishes his innovative, personal, lyric, and spontaneous documentary style. In The Documentary Art of Michael Rubbo D.B. Jones reveals not only the depth of meaning in Rubbo’s films, but also the depth of their influence on filmmaking itself

The composition and ultrastructure of sorghum spent grains
No full textThe present study aimed to investigate the composition and structure of sorghum spent grains (SSG) as a pre‐requisite for evaluating potential applications of this brewery co‐product. SSG samples sourced from African breweries employing a grist with a proportion of a hammer milled‐unmalted sorghum (Sorghum vulgare cv. Fara Fara) were found to be heterogeneous materials containing remnants of intact grains, and with particles ranging in size from <0.1 to >2 mm. Samples contained a considerable amount of residual starch (4.6–10.0% d.b.), much higher than typically reported for barley‐derived spent grains. This probably arises from the use of grists high in unmalted sorghum, but indicates that improvements in brewing process efficiency could be achieved with improvements, for example, in milling and mashing protocols. The crude protein content of the SSG samples was unexpectedly high (38.0–41.2% d.b.), indicating that this material would have potential value as an animal feed or source of refined protein. Potential reasons for this higher than expected residual protein content are discussed. The remainder of SSG gross composition (mean of five samples) was cellulose (11.4% d.b.), hemicellulose (17.3% d.b.), lipid (8.5% d.b.), lignin (9.4% d.b.) and ash (4.46% d.b.), with a total mass recovery of close to 98% represented by all analysed components
Capturing value increase in urban redevelopment : a study of how the economic value increase in urban redevelopment can be used to finance the necessary public infrastructure and other facilities
No full textContains fulltext :
83166.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Open Access)Everyone would agree that urban development, especially when involving the building of residential areas, should be accompanied by sufficient and good public infrastructure and facilities. We all want neighborhoods with the necessary roads, green areas, social facilities, affordable housing and public spaces of high quality. At the same time, nowadays, governments are facing severe cuts in public expenditure. So who is going to pay for all that quality? In the Netherlands and in many other countries, achieving these public goals has become a problem, especially in the regeneration of deteriorated inner cities sites. This book offers insight in how the economic value increase that arises from urban development can serve to finance the quality we want, without the need for public subsidies. The findings and recommendations made in this book focus on Western Europe, mainly on successful and alternatively less successful recent experiences in Spain, England and the Netherlands. Public bodies can use the recommendations to create the necessary conditions to improve the involvement of property developers and landowners in the financing of infrastructure and facilities. Property developers and landowners can find formulas for private-public partnership that can lead to lower development costs and risks, allowing them to pay for good infrastructure and facilities while maintaining profitability. Scholars will find here the theoretical backgrounds for this relevant topic. The author has both an academic and a professional background in the practice of urban development.Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen, 22 november 2010Promotor : Needham, D.B.451 p
Development of PZT suspensions for ceramic ink-jet printing
No full textThe direct ink-jet printing of ceramic powders requires the development of highly fluid suspensions of ceramic particles with viscosity <40 mPas. Here we describe the development of two such ceramic suspensions, which contain up to 30% by volume of PZT particles in either an azeotropic mixture of MEK and ethanol or in an alkane wax at 120°C. The influence of various processing parameters on fluid rheology are investigated and trial fluids have been passed through an ink-jet printing head
