title: Type brighter

authors: Soo, Chin-En Keith

subjects: colour

abstract: Type Brighter is intended as a new way of reading the alphabet. Shape, colour and pattern create memorable sequences based on characteristics of the letterform. By utilizing colour and repetition, readability is promoted. Each letter of the English alphabet is assigned a colour and positions, resulting in a full set of unique patterns. The user types using the keyboard, and the corresponding lights are shown on the light board. The simplicity of colour makes Type Brighter an alternative to more complicated communications such as mores code, and the use of pattern creates memorable sequences of colour. User can also experience the change of ambience, while the moving colour type projects an abstract story using light.

Type Brighter aims to create a new visual language through light. Colour, shape and pattern are strong visual elements, and when combined create a memorable experience. Colour serves an important part of our everyday lives and is easily distinguishable in all situations, making Type Brighter effective in a range of applications.

title: Biomedicals from Bone

authors: Mucalo, Michael R.

subjects: chemistry

abstract: The realm of biomaterials, under which biomedical materials can be categorised, has a broad deﬁnition base and recognises materials that are synthesized or naturally sourced. Biomaterials are normally those that come into contact with live tissue and physiological ﬂuids. They have applications as prostheses to replace lost function of joints or to replace bone tissue, for diagnosing medical conditions, as a form of therapy, or as a storage unit. The diversity and scope of biomaterials science research, and especially its application to the improvement of trauma, disease, and congenital defects in the human condition, are making this branch of science increasingly dominant and topical in many countries. An exciting aspect is that such research is interdisciplinary. The varied problems of the human condition that biomaterials research addresses occupy the efforts not only of medical doctors who act as the end users of such technology, but also those of chemists, physicists, engineers, and biologists in creating the technological advances. Chemistry, in particular, plays a major role in such research, after all it is the foundation stone on which biomaterials polymer science and biomedical scaffold materials are built.

title: Bite

authors: Mitchell, Tori

subjects: poetry

abstract: Bite is a collection of blunt confessional poetry draped in honesty, identity, and 21st century feminism, examined through lived experience with eating disorders, sexuality, trauma, disconnect from family and culture, love and loss, and what it means to be a girl growing up. The collection explores these raw concepts with vulnerability, through the eyes of ‘wolf girl’, in hopes that talking loudly about these topics will force the public to challenge the silence and stigma around them.  

This thesis was inspired by Maori Mythology, and all of the Polynesian poets who showed me how important it is for women of colour to share their stories and experiences. It was also influenced by feminist artists Jenny Holzer, Tracey Emin, and Barbara Kruger, whose art embodies the content of these poems in a literal way: freedom of expression, stripped bare and unflinching. The poetry in this collection is confronting, visceral, and filled with bite.
