Generative Systems Art: the Work of Ernest Edmonds
No full textIn this book, the author explores the history of pioneering computer art and its contribution to art history by way of examining Ernest Edmonds’ art from the late 1960s to the present day. Edmonds’ inventions of new concepts, tools and forms of art, along with his close involvement with the communities of computer artists, Systems artists and computer technologists, provide the context for discussion of the origins and implications of the relationship between art and technology. Drawing on interviews with Edmonds and primary research in archives of his work, the book offers a new contribution to the history of the development of digital art and places Edmonds’ work in the context of contemporary art history

Long term modeling of the links between economics, technical progress and environment: Evolution of approaches and new trends
No full textThis paper examines the evolution of modeling on greenhouse as emissions. The paper briefly highlights the origins and early efforts to model greenhouse gas emissions, efforts subsequent to 1988, and the shape of the next generation of greenhouse gas emissions models. Particular emphasis is placed on the author`s own contributions, including the Edmonds-Reilly Model and the second generation model
Agent based exploration of urban economic dynamics under the rent-gap hypotheses
No full textWe present a stylised agent-based model of housing investment based on the rent gap theory proposed by the late Neil Smith. We couple Smithâs supply-side approach to investment, with individual-level residential mobility within a city. The model explores the impact of varying levels of capital flowing in the city and reproduces certain theorised and observed dynamics emerging from the cyclic nature of investment: the tendency of capital to spatially concentrate generating intra-urban inequalities, the occasional formation of persistent pockets of disinvestment and phenomena such as gentrification
Oh the places we went! : creating and teaching Dr. Seuss : then and now! : an honors thesis (HONRS 499)
No full textFor my Honors thesis project I chose to create and teach an honors colloquium, Dr. Seuss: Then and Now! under the direction of Dr. Tony Edmonds, professor of history. As a social studies education and history major I was grateful to have the opportunity to gain some teaching experience while also broadening my content knowledge. The course focused on the life and works of Theodor Geisel (better known as "Dr. Seuss") as well as his continuing legacy as a children's author and illustrator. It was offered during the fall 2008 semester, during which time fifteen students from a wide variety of majors participated in the class. The intention of this course was to help students better understand the significance of Geisel's works and to develop a greater appreciation for them. In preparing and teaching this course, Claire learned valuable strategies and skills that helped her to become a more effective as well as more knowledgeable teacher.Thesis (B.?.)Honors Colleg

The lean years
No full textThe Burnett Archive of Working Class Autobiographies was gathered together by John Burnett, David Vincent and David Mayall whilst compiling their three volumes annotated bibliography, "The Autobiography of the Working Class" (Harvester Press, 1984-1989). This book includes descriptions of unpublished autobiographies and indicates their locations. Excerpts from some of the autobiographies have been published in "Destiny obscure: autobiographies of childhood, education, and family from the1820s to the 1920s", edited by John Burnett (Routledge 1994 and A. Lane, 1982). The authors "sought to identify not only the large numbers of printed works scattered in various local history libraries and record offices, but also extant private memoirs, many of which remain hidden in family attics, known only to the author and a handful of relatives" (Introduction to vol.1, p. xxix). The criteria for inclusion were: the writers were working class for at least part of their lives; they wrote in English; and they lived for some time in England, Scotland or Wales between 1790 and 1945. John Burnett was professor of social history at Brunel University from 1972 to 1990.John Edmonds' (born 1911) memories of inter-war London. Edmonds provides a detailed account of south-east London with accompanying drawings and diagrams. Also included are descriptions of railways, poverty, work and memories of the First World War
Development of polymeric anti-reflective coatings for polymer substrates
No full textFull text is available to authenticated members of The University of Auckland only.The most frustrating thing about owning a cell phone or digital camera, is not being able to view the screen while outside because of reflected sunlight. This research evaluated technologies for solving this problem at a Iow cost to consumers. The current metal halide anti-reflective coatings are not easily coated onto plastic substrates due to the high temperatures required for the coating process. Modifications have been made to the process to allow for metal halide coatings on plastic materials, but are still not satisfactory. Another disadvantage to using metal halide and metal oxide coatings on plastic substrates is the difference in thermal expansion, resulting in cracking and delamination of the coatings. Ideally the coating needs to have a thermal coefficient similar to that of the substrate. This research has investigated a new class of materials which can be used as an antireflective coating. A fluoropolymer, Cytop™, developed by Asahi Glass Ltd has a refractive index of 1.34 and a coefficient of thermal expansion in the same order of magnitude as that of the plastic substrate. Cytop™ proved itself to be a successful single layer anti-reflective coating. However, the drawback is that it is inherently soft and is easily scratched and abraded from the surface of the substrate. Another fluoropolymer, Teflon AF from DuPont, has also been studied. Fivestigations focused on solving the problem of scratch and abrasion resistance, many different substrate coatings and treatments being evaluated. A fluoroacrylate, Zonyl TA-N, was investigated as a possible adhesion promoter between the substrate and coating. Two main hard coatings were used; methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (MAPTMS) and isobornyl methacrylate. These improved the abrasion resistance of the substrate but did not improve the abrasion resistance of the anti-reflective coating. This was believed to be due to the Iack of bonding between the hard coat and the substrate. These coatings were further modified to try to improve their adhesion to the substrate using 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (AMEO), and a Auorosilane (F8261). The coating systems that gave the overall best results for scratch and abrasion resistance were MAPTMS-AMEO/Cytop™ CTX 109A(E) and Zonyl TA-N/Cytop™ CTX 109A(E). MAPTSM-F8261/Cytop™ CTX 109A(E)/F8261 and MAPTMS-F8261/Cytop™ CTX 109A(E) coating systems also improved abrasion resistance but not as significantly as the previous two coatings. It is believed that this might be due to solvent still being present in the Cytop™ coating. The MAPTMS-AMEO/Cytop™ CTX 109A(E) and Zonyl TA-N/Cytop™ CTX 109A(E) coatings had aged and hence the solvent was completely removed. If the other coatings were given this same aging process, it is believed that they would also have the required abrasion resistance
