Metabolic engineering of raffinose-family oligosaccharides in the phloem reveals alterations in carbon partitioning and enhances resistance to green peach aphid (open access)

Metabolic engineering of raffinose-family oligosaccharides in the phloem reveals alterations in carbon partitioning and enhances resistance to green peach aphid

This article discusses the use of metabolic engineering to generate raffinose-family oligosaccharides (RFOs) at the inception of the translocation stream of Arabidopsis thaliana, which loads from the apoplasm and transports predominantly sucrose, and the fate of the sugars through the plant determined.

Tobacco Drought Stress Responses Reveal New Targets for Solanaceae Crop Improvement (open access)

Tobacco Drought Stress Responses Reveal New Targets for Solanaceae Crop Improvement

This article proposes components of a core metabolic response to drought stress in plants and shows that some major responses to drought stress at the metabolome and transcriptome levels are family specific.

Metamorphosis and Transformations with Modular Forms (open access)

Metamorphosis and Transformations with Modular Forms

The metamorphosis and transformation of forms as metaphors continued to be the focus of my work. The use of modular forms with lightweight materials increased mass and volume in my work. The reconstructing and reassembling of sculptures formed with modules was an excellent vehicle for the content of metamorphosis and transformation. The focus of this problem was to create a series of multi-media art pieces that were each composed of a number of modules.

Methods and Meditations upon Portraiture: Inside Out (open access)

Methods and Meditations upon Portraiture: Inside Out

In this proposed study, I had hoped to discover new strategies to develop imagery. I also wanted to know if using strategies in my work that expressed the psyche of myself, would work to express the psyche of other people. By using new and old strategies, I wanted to see not only if the outside face of people in photographs could be misread but if the inside face of people could be expressed.

I Quit Believing (open access)

I Quit Believing

I has been almost four years since this change of perception from "belief" to "disbelief." Looking back I can say this shift can be characterized as "belief" standing for an idea of art which requires it to represent a singular closed reading, while "disbelief" stands for a realization of an art which corresponds more with the complexities of social interaction and produces work with an array of possible readings. Or more simply stated, "belief" requires the desire to destabilize meaning. Or even more simply stated, "belief" equals "truth," while "disbelief" equals the absence of "truth."

Diverse Works (open access)

Diverse Works

The goal of the work was to infect traditional ideas of beauty and authority with late Twentieth-Century culture and to thereby create an artifact that would reflect the multiplicity of our culture. My work, to date, has dealt with single works of a consistent media combining two and three-dimensional elements. I proposed to add to the complexity of my stated goal through a more varied use of medium; audio, photography, lighting, paint on canvas, reprocessed found objects as well as materials with which I presently work. Some of the work would extend off the wall or ceiling or floor into what might be called the "viewer's space." The end result would be a group of works which created a narrative and would culminate into a single work to be installed in a space as yet undetermined. Site possibilities I considered were my studio, the university gallery, and the critique room in Oak Street Hall.

Barriers and Connections, A Dichotomy (open access)

Barriers and Connections, A Dichotomy

I planned to explore the concept of the dichotomy of barriers and connections further. The works I planned to produce would incorporate a variety of printing techniques, drawing, and conceptual development. Each technique and method allowed for my perception to speak in a slightly different voice. The use of these multiple techniques would allow me to explore fully the complexity of barriers and connections in a manner more comprehensive than the one technique alone.

Principle of Uncertainty (open access)

Principle of Uncertainty

I wanted to see if I could affect the "unknown" by attempting to steer the subconscious. I kept a journal of events going on in my life, dreams, therapy sessions, or ideas for songs or short stories. In my studio, I kept a running list of ideas for titles of songs, stories, or paintings. In addition to this, I recorded narrative or metaphoric ideas that the paintings presented on the search for the final painting.

The creation of Narrative Art Through the Combination of Visual and Verbal Images (open access)

The creation of Narrative Art Through the Combination of Visual and Verbal Images

This project was designed to afford me the opportunity to work with the possibility of combining painting and music through the creation of narrative art. I endeavored to produce a body of work in which the individual paintings and songs would also stand on their own as autonomous works, and still function as components of a work that was larger in scope. The challenge was to develop the visual and verbal elements into a unified whole.

The Transference of the Image (open access)

The Transference of the Image

I decided to simplify the composition of my work in subject matter, color, size and style without destroying its visual impact. Experimentation in surface quality gave variety to the simplified content. My main commitment to the accomplishment of this problem was to avoid complexity in any form. I wanted to give as much information as possible using minimal means.

The Human Figure: A Study in Related Areas of Color, Medium, Scale, and Expression

There were no restrictions as to style or technique, and since my previous works had been realistic, this direction was to be continued during the entire investigation. The primary objective was to create a series of drawings and paintings which would concentrate on the basic facial topography and idiosyncrasies of a constant model with variations in color, scale, medium, and expression.

Animals in Nursing Homes: State Guideline Development

Companion animals can reduce the elderly person's feelings of isolation and stress, provide tactile stimulation, offer a means of socialization and establish a nonthreatening, nonjudgmental relationship. As an adjunct to treatment, pet therapy may serve to ease the transition from community to nursing home and assist residents in establishing relationships with animals, caregivers, and other residents.

A Structuralist Analysis of my Art (open access)

A Structuralist Analysis of my Art

This project is an investigation into the sources of sustained, thematically related images through a series of drawings, prints, photographs and sculpture. Because I have always worked best when I have hit upon an image or set of images of considerable symbolic depth, and because I have generally found such images intuitively, a major portion of this project is to determine if such images can be discovered more consciously.
