Thesis (M.S.)--Boston University / In the following thesis I have attempted to illustrate words of a hundred years ago with appropriate photographs of present-day remains of an era. The years covered in the major sections are 1831 to 1848; the subject is slavery and abolition in New England. The Liberator was the most renowned antislavery paper. Selections from it form the text of the major part of this thesis. Complete bound editions of The Liberator may be found in the Boston Public Library, Main Branch, Copley Square. With the permission of the Supervisor I was able to photograph portions of the paper.

Un des buts de l'infographie est de produire des images réalistes. Pour cela, des artistes créent des modèles géométriques complexes ornés de textures détaillées. Malheureusement, selon l'application visée et les ressources disponibles, il doivent souvent "prendre des raccourcis" en répétant des textures ou en utilisant des modèles simples dont les détails sont simulés par une série de couches d'apparence. Afin de créer des objets 3D réalistes, la meilleure source d'inspiration est le monde réel lui-même. Dans ce contexte, nous proposons d'aider l'artiste à créer ces couches d'apparence à partir de l'analyse d'exemples. Nous nous attaquons tout d'abord à la couche de texture couleur, et plus particulièrement aux textures structurées.<br />En effet, ces dernières sont difficilement reproductibles de manière automatique et leur répétition visuelle est gênante pour l'observateur. Afin de réussir à propager de telles textures à partir d'un exemplaire donné, nous proposons de découpler la structure de l'apparence.<br />Nous traitons le problème tout d'abord sous un aspect géométrique. Les textures structurées sont représentées par un maillage 2D qui est analysé afin d'en extraire une description statistique compacte menant à la création d'un générateur permettant de reproduire la structure originelle à volonté. L'utilisateur est pris en compte tout au long du processus et peut influencer le résultat grâce à des cartes de contraintes.<br />En parallèle, nous analysons l'apparence de la texture structurée afin d'extraire un ensemble réduit de textures représentant les matériaux utilisés pour l'intérieur des régions et leur contour. Ces informations nous permettent d'"habiller" de nouvelles structures de manière efficace. Dans un troisième temps, nous utilisons l'information de structure et de texture, ainsi que des informations usager afin de générer et propager des détails 3D sur des modèles. Nous proposons un système générique qui permettra d'alléger les artistes de tâches souvent répétitives et fastidieuses. Nous appliquons ce système à la génération de cartes de hauteurs et présentons plusieurs autres cas d'application.<br />L'ensemble des techniques proposées permet de synthétiser des textures structurées détaillées à partir d'exemples avec un coût mémoire réduit et permettant un rendu en temps-réel, tout en laissant du contrôle à l'utilisateur.

1. The central theoretical argument of this study is that Dr. D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones maintains a true and Biblical view of sin and that he sets off his view meaningfully and apologetically against unbiblical views regarding sin. The purpose of the study is to investigate Lloyd-Jones's view of sin and to indicate that it can at present be applied meaningfully and apologetically. 2. To develop and substantiate this argument, the following procedure has been followed: 2.1. Lloyd-Jones's theological background is established as reliable. 2.2. His position regarding apologetics and his points of departure concerning it are dealt with. He begins by examining man and his fall into sin. The gospel, as God's way of salvation, is set against unbiblical views regarding man and his redemption. His points of departure indicate how the fall of man has resulted in a humanistic anthropology and how this in turn has led to unscriptural standpoints regarding sin. The Biblical view of man, on the other hand, is based on man being made in the image of God. The fall of man damage this image of God in man. God restores this image by means of the redeeming sacrifice of his Son so that the restored man can once again become the image bearer through the working of the Holy Spirit. 2.3. Lloyd-Jones's apologetic points of departure are followed by an examination of his views regarding sin. His views are based on the Biblical doctrine of original sin and especially on the text of Romans 5:12-21. Lloyd-Jones's basic premise regarding original sin is: 'The world is as it is today because when Adam sinned all sinned". Effective apologetics should use the Biblical doctrine of original sin by referring to the positive antipole, namely redemption in Christ. 2.4. From original sin flows all acts of sin. That is why the characteristics of sin are investigated. The most important conclusions resulting from the characteristics of sin are: 2.4.1. That sin deliberately rejects and suppresses the truth and that the sinner is pleased about the sin which is committed (Romans 1:32; Philippians 3:19). 2.4.2. That the keyword for sin in the New Testament namely hamrtia, essentially means "missing your goal". However the exegesis of Lloyd-Jones indicates that the sinner does not only miss his goal, but does not even aim at the target; in fact, he aims at a different target from the one God sets for him, instead of the living God being worshipped, the creature and creation are worshipped (Romans 1:18-32). 2.4.3. That sin causes spiritual disintegration. This is why people are so susceptible to superficial and unscriptural trends. 2.4.4. That sin is directed primarily against God (Psalm 51:6). 2.4.5. That a true doctrine of sin calls forth a healthy realisation of sin and therefore also a realisation of one's dependence on God for eternal salvation (cf. Matthews 5:3). 2.4.6. That God's judgement of sin as a breach of his covenant is intensified in the church of the New Testament (d. Hebrews 10:19-31). 2.5. Lloyd-Jones uses his view of sin with the intention of awakening a realisation of sin in unbelievers and in this way encouraging the need for redemption. 2.6. The same doctrine of sin is used to foster the sanctification of believers. The process of sanctification consists of the mortification of sin. This process occurs through the direction of the Holy Spirit. 3. Sinful acts are manifested in false doctrines and false religions. This is why Lloyd-Jones's fields of application are examined. A feature of false doctrines and false religions used virtually throughout by Lloyd-Jones in the apologetic process, is the additions to or detractions from the Bible - or both: 3.1. The Roman Catholic Church adds to Scripture by accepting an open canon as it is embodied in Roman Catholic tradition. It is precisely as The Roman Catholic Church system places itself between man and Christ and in this way people's eternal salvation is compromised. 3.2. In contrast with humanism and the resulting uncertainty concerning eternal salvation in the Aminian theology, Lloyd-Jones focuses on the sovereignty of God and the consequential certainty of salvation in the Calvinistic doctrine of predestination. 3.3. If the Darwinian evolutionary doctrine were true, the Biblical doctrine of sin and salvation would be meaningless. Lloyd-Jones uses the story of creation and the fall of man as it is described in Genesis 1-3 as actual occurrences to show that evolutionism is simply a theory. 3.4. Against Christian Science's focus on temporary and earthly prosperity, Lloyd-Jones places man's eternal prosperity as a higher priority. Sin threatens man's eternal prosperity. The Christian Scientists add to the Bible by placing the Science of Mind above the Bible. They detract from the Bible by regarding sin simply as ignorance. 4. Outstanding and admirable features of Lloyd-Jones's apologetics are the way in which he pursues apologetics and the substantial quality of his discussion. He approaches apologetics in an atmosphere of love for the truth and love for the sinner. Lloyd-Jones's point of departure is essentially a prayerful development and true exposition and application of the Word. / Thesis (Th.M. (Ethics))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2004.

The Taliesin Preservation Commission works to preserve Taliesin - Frank Lloyd Wright's Wisconsin estate in Spring Green, Wisconsin - while educating the public about the importance of Taliesin and Wright. The Commission is a private, not-for-profit organization whose future depends on private donations and grants. Creating a presence for the Commission on the Internet will allow the organization to substantially achieve its goals by increasing awareness and education while heightening funding opportunities. This project created a website for the Taliesin Preservation Commission. The effort involved background research into the Internet, its capabilities, the Commission, and their needs. While this information supported the development of the project, the project focused on the web authoring. The primary activities included site content development, site organization, research, writing of text, graphic development, page design, and HTML code writing. In addition, the project secured website storage space and dial-up access for the Commission. It concluded with the launching of the Taliesin Preservation Commission's website at www.taliesinpreservation.org. / Department of Architecture

The objective of this paper is to analyze the export performance of Turkish manufacturing industries in the East-Asian countries between the years 1992-2002. SITC (Rev.3), three digit data were used in calculations and three methodologies were applied in order to discover promising sectors of the Turkish exports. Constant Market Share Analysis was used to explain the causes of the change in the market shares of the exports of Turkey from one period to another. Revealed comparative advantage indices were calculated to determine sectors in which Turkey had comparative advantage. Grubel-Lloyd Index was used to determine the rate of intraindustry trade. Results signal important changes in the export structure of Turkey.

Australia in the early 50s followed a decade or so of frenzy activities in the visual arts. This resurgence of Australian art which led to its recognition in the UK and the United States also brought about a renewed recognition in the quality of domestic architecture. New boundaries in the design of the Australian home were being redefined, both in theory as well as in practice. Although the decades between the two Great Wars saw the importation of such influences as the Californian Bungalow and Art Deco styles (shades of Dudok, Mendelsohn etc.), it was during the post-war years that the term organic architecture that was much discussed by a wide range of practitioners of the time. This research aims to trace the journey of organic architecture from its origin to Australia and provide some insight into the workings of those who claimed to have practiced it.

This study analyzes Lloyd Alexander's The Prydain Chronicles through a Jungian lens. Previous scholarship on Alexander's works has briefly considered archetypal criticism, but not extensively. Bruno Bettelheim's thoughts are used intermittently throughout the thesis. This study concentrates on Taran's individuation process, the discovery of true selfhood, and his consequent development of a whole psyche.
