Photochemical solar energy conversion utilizing semiconductors localized in membrane-mimetic systems
No full textExtending the frontiers of colloidal photochemistry and colloidal electrochemistry to solar photochemistry research had been the main objective of this research. More specific objectives of this proposal include the examination of semiconductor-particle-mediated photoelectron transfer and photoelectric effects in different membrane mimetic systems. Emphasis had been placed on developing bilayer lipid membranes and Langmuir-Blodgett films as new membrane-mimetic systems, as well as on the characterization and utilization of these systems

No full textThe Piperaceae of Trinidad and Tobago
No full textThe author makes a critical study of the Piperaceae of the Trinidad and Tobago Islands on the basis of the important collections of D. Lockhart, W. Purdie, H. Crueger and A. Fendler, as well as the collections of N.L. Britton and collaborators deposited at the New York Botanical Garden and from the more recent collections by W.E. Broadway, N.Y. Sandwith and others. He adds keys of genera and species, citations of the studied material and its geographical distribution
The educational problems of aesthetic taste
No full textIn general, it is taken for granted that taste is not a proper school subject. However, the exclusion of taste from ordinary school curricula was not inevitable, and in some respects it is paradoxical. There are some historical factors that make the absence of taste from curricula seem reasonable, but there are other factors that make it appear nonsensical. This essay addresses that puzzle from an aesthetic and historical point of view. The author begins by setting up the problem, arguing that from the perspective of curriculum analysis, the absence of taste is surprising; given various purposes of modern schooling, it should be expected to see taste included as part of the curriculum. In the second part of the essay the author suggests three historical facets - subjectivity, ocularcentrism, and pleasure - that help to make sense of this curious absence. In the course of the examination, the problems of aesthetic taste will be shown to have implications for how schooling practices have played a role in constituting fundamental relationships between people and material things.
