GETTING SANDY: CREATING COLLAPSING SAND EFFECTS FOR \u3ci\u3eAN ODE TO LOVE\u3c/i\u3e

This thesis presents an artistic approach of creating collapsing sand effects in Brown Bag Films\u27 animated short, An Ode To Love, directed by Matthew Darragh. A combination of rigid body simulation and fluid simulation tools, which are available in Houdini 3D animation software version 13, was used to successfully complete the task. A detailed design and implementation process to achieve the effects is documented in this work

ปริญญานิพนธ์ (วศ.บ) -- มหาวิทยาลัยเทคโนโลยีราชมงคลพระนคร, 2556This research is studied the design and contract the electronic generator from Solar cell integrated with electrical at home in the rural area. The design is combined between solar cell and electrical at home. The mutation from solar cell to electric power is the clean and green energy when it is compared with normal processes to generate the electric power. Additionally, it’s also less impacts to environment and sustainable. In the normal architectural model of solar cell generator, the engineer will design the power storage at its battery for one day using with condition of the solar cells need to receive the sun light in the whole day. If some days the cell cannot get enough sunlight when it’s bad weather ,the battery also cannot supply power as in its usual. With this new innovative energy supply integration between solar cell and electrical at home, it benefits to the energy consumers, to get the energy for whole day continually and also reduce the pollution from the normal process electric generation.Rajamangala University of Teehnology Phra Nakho

Proteomic and Characterization of α α α α α-amylase Inhibitor from Mungbean (Vigna radiate)

ABSTRACT Callosobruchus maculatus, the insect pest, causes damaging to stored mungbean seeds leading to economical losses. For this reason the use of α-amylase inhibitors to interfere the pest digestion process has been an interesting alternative as a biocontrolling agent. The studies of gamma irradiated mungbean mutant, M5-16, demonstrated that α-amylase inhibitor from the mutant line was more inhibitory effective on C. maculatus α-amylase than its wild type, KPS1. To investigate this mechanism, both proteomics and biochemical characterization were employed. The α-amylase inhibitor from mungbean seed, M5-16, was purified in a two-step procedure involving ammonium sulfate precipitation and gel filtration chromatography using a sephadex G-100 column. This α-amylase inhibitor existed as a monomer and had a molecular weight of 27 kDa. Moreover, It was very interesting that α-amylase inhibitor from the mungbean seed inhibited C. maculatus α-amylase but did not inhibit human salivary α-amylase. 2D gel electrophoresis suggested that the gamma-induced mutant line has decreased expression of α-amylase inhibitor and other proteins comparing with its wild type

Lighting has been used to enhance emotion and appeal of characters for centuries, from paintings in the Renaissance to the modern-day digital arts. In VFX and animation studios, lighting is considered as important as modelling, shading, or rigging. Most existing work focuses on either empirical best-practice created by artists of the centuries or on lighting perception with basic shapes. In contrast, our work focuses on the effect of lighting on emotional characters. Our study presents an extensive set of novel perceptual experiments designed to investigate the effects of brightness levels (key light brightness) and the proportion of light intensity illuminating the two sides of a character’s face (key-to-fill ratio). We are particularly interested in the effect of lighting on the recognition of emotion, emotion intensity, and the overall appeal, as these are crucial factors for audience engagement. Our results have implications for artists and developers wishing to increase the appeal and emotional expression of their characters, ranging from cartoon to realistic styles. Our key finding is that lighting can be used to effectively alter the intensity of emotion of a character and that brighter conditions increased appeal across all of our experiments.</jats:p
