Book excerpt: Reshapes the history of abstract animation and its importance to computer imagery and cinema Animation and technology are always changing with one another. From hand-drawn flipbooks to stop-motion and computer-generated imagery (CGI), animation's identity is in flux. But many of these moving image technologies, like CGI, emerged from the world of animation. Indeed, animation has made essential contributions to not only computer imagery but also cinema, helping shape them into the fields and media forms we know today. In Pulses of Abstraction, Andrew R. Johnston presents both a revealing history of abstract animation and an investigation into the relationship between animation and cinema. Examining a rich array of techniques--including etching directly onto the filmstrip, immersive colored-light spectacles, rapid montage sequences, and digital programming--Pulses of Abstraction uncovers important epistemological shifts around film and related media. Just as animation's images pulse in projection, so too does its history of indexing technological and epistemic changes through experiments with form, material, and aesthetics. Focusing on a period of rapid media change from the 1950s to the 1970s, this book combines close readings of experimental animations with in-depth technological studies, revealing how animation helped image culture come to terms with the rise of information technologies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on extensive archival research, this project emphasizes the history of techniques and technologies deployed for the production of images within abstract animation by coupling materialist histories with formal analyses. I begin by describing this approach and also engage with theoretical debates about the nature of animation and how to situate it within the field of film studies. I argue for a new, more inclusive definition that is attendant to both the diversity of materials and technologies employed in animation and to the perceptual impact of the generated images. While previous accounts have tended to treat animation in isolation from broader currents in cinema, I take up these moments in this history of abstract animation to show that it can offer the material out of which a more inclusive, flexible and dynamic account of cinema can be built. Highlighting a rich array of graphic techniques--such as etching directly onto the filmstrip, generating rapid, discontinuous montage sequences, or using digital vector displays and programming technologies--I show that animation is and has been an especially privileged site for the investigation of technology, form, and aesthetic experience.

Book excerpt: Summary: The present publication offers a broad overview of works from one of the most dynamic and vital movements in Latin-America: geometric abstraction. The Fontanais-Cisneros Collection - specialized in contemporary art - provides the opportunity to revisit the period between 1930 and 1970 through a selection from its holdings of works that reflect this creative movement, which is still little known internationally.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An initial attempt to detect vaporization expansion waves in ribbons of copper and lead is described. Vaporization energy is deposited by impulsive, electron beam irradiation. The approaches used to prevent inundation of the expected signals by those directly related to the electron pulse device were not adequate. New designs, reflecting inferred results of the exposures, are included with an experimantal program directed toward preventing signal inundation. (Author).

Book excerpt: Pulses are nutritionally diverse crops that can be successfully utilized as a food ingredient or a base for new product development. They provide a natural food grade ingredient that is rich in lysine, dietary fiber, complex carbohydrates, protein and B-vitamins suggesting that pulses can provide a variety of health benefits such as reducing heart disease and diabetes. Interest in the use of pulses and their ingredients in food formulations is growing and several factors are contributing to this drive. Pulse Foods: Processing, Quality and Nutraceutical Applications is the first book to provide up-to-date information on novel and emerging technologies for the processing of whole pulses, techniques for fractionating pulses into ingredients, their functional and nutritional properties, as well as their potential applications, so that the food industry can use this knowledge to incorporate pulses into new food products. First reference bringing together essential information on the processing technology of pulses Addresses processing challenges relevant to legume and pulse grain processors Delivers insights into the current state-of-art and emerging processing technologies In depth coverage of developments in nutraceutical applications of pulse protein and carbohydrate based foods
