PILOT for the Apple II Microcomputer (open access)

PILOT for the Apple II Microcomputer

PILOT (Programmed Inquiry, Learning or Teaching) is a simple, conversational language developed in 1969 by John A. Starkweather at the University of California Medical Center in San Francisco. Originally designed for computer assisted instructional needs, PILOT also has been effectively used as an introductory computer language. The PILOT system developed for the Apple II microcomputer consists of two programs, PILOT EDITOR and PILOT DRIVER, which are written in Applesoft and which use the Apple II disk operating system. The PILOT system was designed to facilitate easy authoring and execution of programs written in an extended version of the PILOT language. Due to the memory requirements of the programs and the Apple II disk operating system, the PILOT system described here should be executed on a machine with at least 32k bytes of random access memory.

Design and Implementation of a Parser for the DBase II Query Language (open access)

Design and Implementation of a Parser for the DBase II Query Language

In this paper the DBase II query language of an RDBMS for personal computers is discussed. Other languages will be provided by large and sophisticated DBMS will not be discussed here. The reason for selecting the DBase II query language for discussion are as follows: 1. It is a simple language that can be learned easily [TOWN 84, DINE 84]. Within a short period, users can learn all of the facilities and manage the system very well. 2. It is a language suitable for interactive programming and execution like BASIC. 3. It provides adequate facilities for a small data base system and serves as an introductory guide for more sophisticated systems.

Development of a Text Formatted Under VAX/VMS Operating System (open access)

Development of a Text Formatted Under VAX/VMS Operating System

No matter how extended the use of the computer is, the printed document is still the primary medium for the presentation information, and will continue to be for some time. The use of computing facilities for preparation and production of the document is becoming as prevalent as their use for numeric computation. Commercially, document preparation systems are now a standard facility at research institution, and they have become quite common on each computer program. A conventional document preparation system usually contains two parts: a text editor used to create, enter, update, and maintain the text and control words that comprise the document in its "input" form, and a text formatter used to process that input and produce the final document.

Triangle: A Teaching Program of High School Geometry

Among the early applications of computers, one can find frequent mention of intelligent instructional systems. Such intelligent instructional systems represent a new generation of learner-based computer aided instruction, preceded in time by the original frame-based systems and an intervening generation of expert-based CAI. The history of CAI is characterized by three generations: Frame-based CAI, Expert-based CAI and Learner-based CAI.

A Method for Applying Scientific Subroutine Package in Microprocessor (open access)

A Method for Applying Scientific Subroutine Package in Microprocessor

The scientific subroutine package is one of the most important parts of the software for the scientific industry. By now, most big computers have scientific packages, but applying such a software package in microprocessors requires consideration of the microprocessor's facilities, such as limited main memory, slow execution time, and only a few small registers. In any scientific package, the trigonometric functions are the ones more widely used. This paper discusses a method for implementing several trigonometric function programs in a scientific package in microprocessors. These programs will contain routines for computing sin, cos, tan, and cot of any angle within the range of (-360°,+360°).

Macro - Preprocessor for 6809 Cross Assembler (open access)

Macro - Preprocessor for 6809 Cross Assembler

It is frequently considered to be apparent two stages during assembly time. The first is the preprocessor stage in which a single instruction called the micro instruction is replaced with the sequence of instructions called the macro definition. The second is the processor stage in which the output from the first stage is assembled into machine language instructions for a particular computer. This paper descibes the first one which is macro-preprocessor stage.

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.

Representing the Observable Textural Patterns of Moving Water in Stone (open access)

Representing the Observable Textural Patterns of Moving Water in Stone

I plan to create a representation of the textures of four distinct states of moving water in three stone sculptures. These structured textural elements are intended to provide compelling visual stimuli that will enhance the viewers' understanding of the sculptures. The dynamic quality of rhythm inherent in the four observable patterns will be conceptually and physically captured on a stone surface.

Like Random Piles of Debris in My Mind

In this project, I further examined my work as a fictional layering of vernacular culture within the discourse of historical art. This investigation addressed the sources of my art, both in the outside world and in the context of an inherited art tradition. I focused on the issues of the formation and function of my work as an estheticized representation of this culture.

The Search for Meaning Through the Visually Analogous

In my Problem in Lieu of Thesis I explored the use of analogy in my work. I searched for ways to heighten the difference or distance between the imagery within an analogous relationship and yet maintain meaningful similarities or relationships. An analogy, for the purpose of this paper is defined as the following: "a similarity or likeness between things in some circumstances or effects, when the things are otherwise entirely different."

Protrapment

It was my intention to create pieces that seem to be both entrapping and protective at the same time. I hope that, as the viewer attempts to interpret each piece, there will be a shift back and forth from one to the other until both sides are accepted and a balance is found.

The Incorporation of Silkscreen Techniques in the Decoration of Raku-Fired Ceramics (open access)

The Incorporation of Silkscreen Techniques in the Decoration of Raku-Fired Ceramics

The questions answered by this investigation are as follows: 1. Which silkscreens and stencils will work in screening flat and three-dimensional objects? 2. Which mediums and coloring agents will survive a glaze firing to produce an acceptable image? 3. How can the image be modified by screening during the different stages of a ceramic piece (wet, green, bisque, glazed)? 4. What glazes and glaze applications will be compatible? 5. Generally, what is the relationship between the image and the object?

Space and the Unexpected

I intend to explore various canvas sizes and many formal issues, focusing on space and the application of paint are paramount in my work. I used closely cropped photographs to aid in this study and my exploration addressed the following questions: 1) How does the speed of execution affect the spontaneity and authority of the piece? 2) How important is the unexpected for the success of my painting in regards to formal issues?
