Alien, Alienated and Alienation

Wang, Ting January 2022 (has links)
I started to design my project through the lens of my own perceptions and understanding of alienation, as well as learning about alienation through the lens of artistic craft. In the project, I used the history of blue porcelain as a metaphor for my alienation. The study of blue porcelain’s visual elements including forms, patterns and colours painted a larger picture, where blue porcelain was wandering among different cultures and went through the evolution of people’s perception through different historical periods. Meanwhile it experienced deep alienation as well as meaningful development, which made blue porcelain itself a strong culture and symbol of many cultures. Alienation does not have to be a problem that needs to be healed; it could lead to positive results.

Natural Selection

Vick, Jeffrey A. 01 January 2006 (has links)
My thesis work is about imagination. I use the collaborative efforts of the viewer's mind and my sculptures, or specimens, to make associations of real life animals. I feel this engages the viewer and in turn invites them to inspect the work on closer level. This is my ultimate goal in the work, to take hold of the viewer's curiosity and have them examine the work on a closer level.

Avalição \'in vitro\' da resistência ao cisalhamento de braquetes colados em diferentes sistemas cerâmicos / In vitro short-term evaluation of shear strength of brackets bonded to different porcelain systems

Bonfante, Luiz Fernando 24 January 2007 (has links)
O tratamento ortodôntico em adultos, nos últimos tempos, tem ganhado popularidade na tentativa de melhorar a estética e a função. No entanto, é uma característica comum nestes pacientes, ter os dentes restaurados com facetas de resina, coroas metalo-cerâmicas e/ou porcelana pura. Neste contexto, o ortodontista se defronta com o desafio de colar braquetes em diferentes sistemas cerâmicos, de capacidade desconhecida de resistir às forças de cisalhamento. Portanto, os objetivos deste trabalho foram: 1) Verificar se a força de cisalhamento em braquetes colados em superfícies de porcelana feldspática e AllCeram é afetada por diferentes tempos de ataque com ácido hidrofluorídrico e 2) Observar se existe uma relação direta entre os valores obtidos da força de cisalhamento e o índice remanescente de adesivo (IRA). Sessenta espécimes de porcelana em formato cilíndrico foram aleatoriamente divididos em 3 grupos de 20 espécimes de acordo com o tempo de ataque do ácido hidrofluorídrico de 1 minuto, 30 segundos e 15 segundos (grupos 1, 2 e 3 respectivamente). Outros sessenta espécimes de porcelana AllCeram, com o mesmo formato e divididos da mesma maneira de acordo com o tempo de ataque ácido (grupos 4, 5 e 6 respectivamente). A colagem dos braquetes na superfície cerâmica incluiu aplicação de silano, colocação de resina fotoativada sobre a base do braquete e cimentação com força padronizada de 500g. Vinte e quatro horas após a cimentação, os espécimes foram submersos em água destilada a 37OC e submetidos ao teste de resistência ao cisalhamento em uma máquina de ensaio universal, com velocidade de 0,5 mm/min, cujos valores registrados em Kgf e convertidos em MPa. O tipo de falha também foi egistrado usando o IRA através de um estereoscópio com magnificação de 4x. A força de cisalhamento mais alta foi registrada no grupo 1 (21.21 MPa), que foi significativamente diferente dos grupos 2, 3, 4, 5 e 6 (11.01, 10.64, 14.31, 10.59, 10.39 MPa, respectivamente). Os valores mais baixos encontrados nos grupos remanescentes não diferiram entre si. A mediana dos escores do IRA para os grupos 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 e 6 foi 2, 3, 3, 0, 3, e 3, respectivamente. O grupo 1 (porcelana feldspática 1 minuto) foi afetado pelos diferentes tempos de ataque com ácido hidrofluorídrico, quando comparado aos grupos 2 e 3, ao passo em que os grupos 4, 5 e 6 de porcelana AllCeram não foram. Não houve relação direta entre o escore do IRA e os valores da força de cisalhamento. / Orthodontic treatment in the adult population has lately gained popularity in an attempt to improve esthetic and function. It is, however, a common feature in these patients, that their dentition is restored by resin veneers, porcelain fused to metal and all ceramic crowns. In this context, the orthodontist faces the challenge of bonding brackets to different porcelain based materials, of unknown ability to resist shear forces. Thus, the aim of this investigation was: 1) to test the null hypothesis that shear strength of brackets bonded to feldspathic and AllCeram porcelain surfaces is not affected by different hydrofluoridric etching times and 2) to test the null hypothesis that there is no direct relation between shear strength values and the adhesive remanescent index (ARI). Sixty feldspathic porcelain disc shaped specimens were randomly divided into 3 groups of 20 each, according to hydrofluoridric acid etching time of either 15, 30 seconds and 1 minute (groups 1, 2 and 3, respectively). Another 60 AllCeram specimens of the same shape were subjected to the same division, according to etching time (groups 4, 5, and 6 respectively). Bonding the brackets to the porcelain surfaces included silane coating, an overlying photoactivated resin and a standardized 500g cementation force. Twenty-four hours after cementation, at 37oC in destilled water, specimens were subjected to a shear force in a universal testing machine at a cross-head speed of 0,5mm/min and shear values registered in Kgf and then converted to MPa. Type of failure was lso recorded using ARI by means of a stereoscope at 4x augmentation. The highest shear strength was found for group 1 (21.21 MPa), which was significantly different than groups 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 (11.01, 10.64, 14.31, 10.59, 10.39 MPa). The lower values found in the remaining groups were not different among each other. Median ARI scores for groups 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 were 2, 3, 3, 0, 3, and 3, respectively. The first hypothesis must be partially rejected since only feldspathic porcelain group 1 was affected by different hydrofluoric etching times, when compared to groups 2 and 3, while AllCeram groups 4, 5, and 6 were not. On the other hand, the second null hypothesis must be accepted since no direct relation between ARI score and shear strength values could be determined.

Preparação e estabilização de uma suspensão cerâmica de porcelana de ossos. / Preparation and stabilization for ceramics suspensions of bone porcelain.

Vera Alatrista, Gerardo Augusto 31 July 2008 (has links)
O estudo da dispersão e estabilização de barbotinas de porcelana de cinza de ossos é uma etapa muito importante no processo de conformação de peças cerâmicas, assim como também a etapa de obtenção da sua principal matéria-prima que é a cinza de ossos, devido a que constitui 50% em peso da porcelana e por ser uma matéria-prima renovável, reciclável e com alto valor agregado na fabricação de porcelana. Neste trabalho se investigou a influência das temperaturas de calcinação dos ossos (700, 800, 900 e 1000 °C) moídos e lavados, no seu tamanho, forma das partículas, composição química, comportamento elétrico superficial das partículas com o meio líquido, grupos funcionais e possíveis contaminantes nas superfícies das partículas dos ossos calcinados, que poderiam prejudicar a preparação de barbotinas de porcelana de ossos. Mostra-se também a dispersão, preparação e a estabilização da mistura de porcelana de ossos (50% cinza de ossos, 25% de caulim, 25% de feldspato) por meio dos ensaios de viscosidade e mobilidade eletroforética, conseguindo dispersar, homogeneizar e estabilizar as suspensões de porcelana de ossos aplicando tempos de envelhecimentos apropriados. / The study of the dispersion and stabilization of slip casting of bone porcelain is a very important stage in the process of preparation of suspensions ceramic, as well as the obtaining of its main material, that it is the bone ash, so that it constitutes 50% in weight of dry mass, and also that is one raw material renewable, recyclable and with high value added in the porcelain production. In the present research, the influence from the calcination of bovine bones to different temperatures (700, 800, 900 and 1000 °C) was investigated besides the size and form of the particles, variation in its chemical compositions, variations in its electric superficial behavior of the particles in contact with the liquid medium and also the groups present functional in the particles of ash of bones, kaolin and feldspar. Reveals the behavior of the particles during the dispersion and stabilization of the bone porcelain (50% ash of bones, 25% kaolin, 25 % feldspar) by means of the tests of viscosity and electrophoretic mobility, being able to disperse, to homogenize and to stabilize the suspensions of bone china with appropriate ageing time.

Estudo in vitro da estabilidade de cor e opacidade de cinco sistemas cerâmicos sob influência do envelhecimento artificial acelerado / \"In vitro\" study of color stability and opacity of five ceramic systems under influence of accelerated aging

Porto, Luciana de Paula Ribeiro dos Santos 30 July 2007 (has links)
O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a estabilidade de cor e opacidade de cinco sistemas cerâmicos glazeados naturalmente e com pintura extrínseca, utilizando os espectrofotômetros Color Guide 45/0 (BYK-Gardner) e Easyshade (Vita), sob influência do envelhecimento artificial acelerado. Foram confeccionados 14 corpos de prova para cada grupo testado de cerâmica - metalocerâmica Ceramco 3 (Dentsply) (grupo 1), cerâmica pura Ceramco 3 (grupo 2), cerâmica pura EX -3 (Noritake) (grupo 3), Vitroceram (Angelus) recoberta com Allceram (Degudent) (grupo 4) e Vitroceram recoberta com Cerabien (Noritake) (grupo 5). Sete corpos de prova de cada grupo cerâmico foram glazeados naturalmente e sete foram submetidos à pintura extrínseca com pigmento Vita Chrom 712. Uma leitura inicial foi realizada em todos os corpos de prova utilizando o espectrofotômetro Color Guide, obtendo valores de opacidade e das coordenadas L*, a*, b* e E*; e utilizando o espectrofotômetro Easyshade, obtendo valores de L*, C*, h* e E*. Após o envelhecimento artificial de 500h, foram realizadas novas leituras nos espectrofotômetros. Os resultados encontrados foram submetidos à análise estatística e concluiu-se que os grupos 2, 3 e 4 foram influenciados estatisticamente pelo envelhecimento artificial acelerado quanto à opacidade; e que o grupo 5 foi o que obteve o pior desempenho de estabilidade de cor (E* = 3,32 - VTCE e E* = 2,68 = VTCEPE) para o espectrofotômetro Color Guide. Com o espectrofotômetro Easyshade os grupos 4 e 5 e as cerâmicas MC, CER, EX foram considerados ineficazes quanto à estabilidade de cor (p<0,05). / The aim of this study was to evaluate the color stability and opacity of five ceramic systems naturally glazed and with extrinsic porcelain colorant, under influence of accelerated aging, using two spectrophotometers Color Guide 45/0 (BYK-Gardner) and Easyshade (Vita) as a tool for color and opacity measurement. Fourteen samples were provided for each tested group of ceramics: metal-ceramic Ceramco3 (Dentsply) (Group 1), Ceramco3 (Group 2), EX3 (Noritake) (Group 3), Vitroceram (Angelus) with Allceram (Degudent) (Group 4) and Vitroceram with Cerabien (Noritake) (Group 5). Seven samples of each group were submitted to extrinsic colorant (Vita Chrom 712) and the other seven were naturally glazed. An initial measurement was performed and the values of opacity, L*, a*, b* and E* were obtained using the Color Guide spectrophotometer, and using Easyshade the values of L*, C*, h* and E* were obtained. After the process of 500h accelerated aging a new measurement was performed for all samples. The results were statistically analyzed and the conclusion was that the opacity of groups 2, 3 and 4 were statistically influenced by the accelerated aging and the group 5 had the worst assessment in color stability (E* = 3,32 - VTCE e E* = 2,68 - VTCEPE) with the Color Guide spectrophotometer. With Easyshade, groups 4 and 5 and MC, CER and EX ceramics were considered ineffective as for color stability (p<0,05).
