Radically novel materials change shape

Radically novel materials change shape by 100s% following temperature or illumination changes. Such sophisticated response suggests different ideas for deploying such materials from in conventional mechanics and devices. We describe the materials and new mechanics paradigms to exploit their novelty: Local material shape changes can be arranged so that intrinsic curvature is induced into flat spaces. I will employ many demonstrations, and re-examine the map-maker’s problem of resolving planes with curved space. https://www.baltimoreculture.org/calendar/event/23466/full-watch-365-dni-365-days-2020-hd-movie-online-free https://www.baltimoreculture.org/calendar/event/23468/full-watch-my-hero-academia-heroes-rising-2019-hd-movie-online-free https://www.baltimoreculture.org/calendar/event/23469/full-watch-followed-2020-hd-movie-online-free https://www.baltimoreculture.org/calendar/event/23470/full-watch-becky-2020-hd-movie-online-free https://www.baltimoreculture.org/calendar/event/2...

Attention to shaving foam snowmen

In this paper I examine how we might move beyond a preoccupation with critique in educational research. I argue that moving away from critique opens up possibilities to reconfigure some entrenched ideas about childhood and early years education. This requires a deep engagement with the ordinary routines and mundane situations that unfold in nursery practice. I consider the ways in which discourses, curriculum frameworks, inspection regimes, research and pedagogical practices and routine happenings are entangled within everyday events in an early childhood centre. I focus upon the material-semiotic-discursive and affective entanglements observed during ethnographic research which takes materiality as its starting place. Attention to shaving foam snowmen, boggly eyes, human hair, mirrored walls and too-small furniture provides the means to account for associations and traceable attachments in which education can be understood as more than an exclusively human endeavour. I draw upon a sma...

Professor of Education based at the Centre for Education

Professor of Education (Early Years & Gender) based at the Centre for Education Research & Scholarship, Middlesex University. Her present methodologies and research practices are framed by feminist new materialism. Through her work she seeks to maintain a concern with issues of social justice and to critically engage with early childhood policy, curricular frameworks and pedagogical approaches. Through her work she seeks to extend understandings of the workforce, families, ‘the child’ and ‘childhood’ in early years contexts. She has published extensively within the postmodernist paradigm including Special Issues of the journal https://klc.kemenkeu.go.id/forums/topic/watch-a-quiet-place-part-ii-2020-hd-streaming-online-full-movie-free/ https://klc.kemenkeu.go.id/forums/topic/watch-bloodshot-2020-hd-streaming-online-full-movie-free/ https://klc.kemenkeu.go.id/forums/topic/watch-trolls-world-tour-2020-hd-streaming-online-full-movie-free/ https://klc.kemenkeu.go.id/forums/topic...

She has served on several editorial boards

Contemporary Issues in Early Childhood (2006, 2016 and 2017, forthcoming) and Narratives from the Nursery: negotiating professional identities in Early Childhood (Routledge, 2012); and currently Feminists Researching Childhood (Bloomsbury, forthcoming) and Post-developmental Approaches to Childhood Art (Bloomsbury, forthcoming). She has served on several editorial boards including Contemporary Issues in Early Childhood Journal, British Education Research Journal, and is currently Co-Editor of Gender & Education Journal and Co-Editor of Reconceptualising Education Research Methodology. https://klc.kemenkeu.go.id/forums/topic/watch-the-traitor-2020-hd-streaming-online-full-movie-free/ https://klc.kemenkeu.go.id/forums/topic/watch-da-5-bloods-2020-hd-streaming-online-full-movie-free/ https://klc.kemenkeu.go.id/forums/topic/watch-sonic-the-hedgehog-2020-hd-streaming-online-full-movie-free/ https://klc.kemenkeu.go.id/forums/topic/watch-mulan-2020-hd-streaming-online-full-movie-free/...

Pillararene-based host-guest interactions

Pillararene-based host-guest interactions were employed to construct a series of supramolecular amphiphiles not only in organic solvent but also in water.3 For example, we constructed a novel supramolecular amphiphile based on a pillar6arene and an azobenzene-containing guest in an organic solvent, which underwent a photoresponsive threading-dethreading switch upon UV and visible light irradiation due to the trans−cis photoisomerization of the guest, accompanied by disassembly and assembly of the corresponding aggregates.3a https://klc.kemenkeu.go.id/forums/topic/watch-premature-2020-hd-streaming-online-full-movie-free/ https://klc.kemenkeu.go.id/forums/topic/watch-capone-2020-hd-streaming-online-full-movie-free/ https://klc.kemenkeu.go.id/forums/topic/watch-crystal-swan-2020-hd-streaming-online-full-movie-free/ https://klc.kemenkeu.go.id/forums/topic/watch-valley-girl-2020-hd-streaming-online-full-movie-free/ https://klc.kemenkeu.go.id/forums/topic/watch-olympic-dreams-2020-hd-st...

synthesized an amphiphilic pillar5arene

Inspired by the natural phospholipid bilayer nanostructure, which is an important part of the cell membrane, various functional groups were introduced into pillararene-based macrocyclic amphiphiles, endowing their self-assemblies with interesting applications.1,2 For example, we designed and synthesized an amphiphilic pillar5arene containing five amino groups as the hydrophilic head and five alkyl chains as the hydrophobic tail.1a It self-assembled into well-defined nanovesicles under neutral conditions in 1 minute, and gradually transformed into microtubes after standing for 4 months. The nanovesicles were used in the controlled release of small molecules and the microtubes could be used to adsorb TNT . Similarly, “sweet nanotubes” were obtained from self-assembly of a sugar-functionalized macrocyclic amphiphile.2b These sweet nanotubes were utilized as excellent cell glues to agglutinate and inhibit the motility of pathogenic cells E. coli. https://klc.kemenkeu.go.id/forums/topic/watch...

our findings to the literature which suggests

If you have a question about this talk, please contact Lucian Stephenson. We present the methods and findings of research into the work of artists connected with arts and well-being charity Cambridge Curiosity and Imagination . The findings relate to how children and nature share characteristics of interactions with/in space and time that enhance their ability to engage in artistic, playful adventuring. We link our findings to the literature which suggests that a reduction in both art and time in wild places negatively effects wellbeing and we reflect on how bringing art, nature and children together may help to improve the contemporary crisis in children and young people’s mental health. This research arises from the Anglia Ruskin University Seedcorn project: Place-based learning, creativity and wellbeing and the presentation is based on two publications: Lee E., Walshe N., Sapsed R., Holland J.
