A tripartite-circle drawing of a tripartite graph is a drawing in the plane, where each part of a vertex partition is placed on one of three disjoint circles, and the edges do not cross the circles. We present upper and ...

With consumers constantly exposed to brands, it is very important for businesses to ensure their brand stand out in the marketplace. Building brand loyalty creates a competitive advantage through increased customer ...

Silicon nitride (Si3N4) and its related materials have been the subjects of research for 70 years and have garnered interest for applications ranging from cutting tools and bearings to turbine blades and spinal implants. ...

Layered δ-MnO2 (birnessite) exhibits a unique response to the reduction of Mn4+ to Mn3+, where the reduced Mn3+ Jahn-Teller distorted octahedron creates a 'surface Frenkel defect.' The reduced Mn3+O6 octahedron migrates ...

I focused my honors thesis research on three types of ceramic glazes, lichen, lava, and gloop. These became especially interesting to me after I took a glaze class a few years ago. I decided to take the glaze class because ...

Through the past four years, ceramics has gone from a practice to ease my mind to a practice that activates it. I have begun to question what motivations drive me to do ceramics and what need it fulfills in my life. I have ...
