This is the first study of the work of Chao-Chen Yang
(1909–1969), an important Seattle photographer who gained
national prominence in the mid-twentieth century. Born in Hangzhou,
China, Yang received his art training at the University of Hsin-Hwa
in Shanghai. After graduating, he became art director for the
Government Institute of Nanking. In 1933 he moved to Chicago as
chancellor of the Chinese Consulate and attended the Art Institute
of Chicago. Initially trained as a painter, he later used
photography as his main medium for artistic expression. In 1938
Yang was transferred to Seattle as chancellor of the Chinese
Consulate and became actively involved with the Seattle
Photographic Society. He was also an influential art and
photography instructor and worked tirelessly to advance Chinese
culture in the United States. Yang won numerous awards in important
photography salons and became a Fellow of the Photographic Society
of America, the Professional Photographers Association of America,
and the Royal Photographic Society of Great Britain. He was a
pioneer in color photography in the Northwest in both advertising
and the fine arts. Exhibition dates: Cascadia Art Museum, November

One of the leading Northwest artists of his generation, George
Tsutakawa (1910-97) is internationally known for his sculpture and
fountain designs. However, a lesser-known aspect of his career was
the production of blockprints, watercolors, and works on paper that
began in the 1930s and continued throughout his career. Born in
Seattle and educated in Japan, Tsutakawa had early success while
still in high school. He attended the University of Washington,
where he received an MFA in sculpture in 1950, and became an
influential instructor at the university's School of Art from 1947
to 1976. Drawn from the Tsutakawa estate, most of the works shown
here have never been seen previously by the public. These early
works display concepts and inspirations that would inform
Tsutakawa's aesthetic throughout a long and distinguished career.
Contextual works by Tsutakawa's instructors and contemporaries
provides a broader understanding of his oeuvre. Exhibition dates:
Cascadia Art Museum, December 1, 2022-March 26, 2023
One of the state's oldest arts organizations, "Women Painters of
Washington" was founded in 1930 with the aim of overcoming
limitations faced by women artists. Over its 75-year history, the
group has counted among its members talented artists of national
prominence whose stories have not been widely shared, until now.
From founding members' early efforts to support fellow women
artists, to contemporary members' cultural exchanges and
international exhibitions, David F. Martin tells the story of Women
Painters of Washington. He examines members' artistic achievements
and the recognition they received in the national and international
art worlds. In addition, a selection of works by current WPW
members demonstrates the organization's continued vitality.
Abundant color plates clearly illustrate the talent and innovation
of these artists.
David F. Martin is a leading expert on early Northwest art and
co-author of "Shadows of a Fleeting World: Pictorial Photography
and the Seattle Camera Club."
"A visually stunning book that will utterly revise our
conventional notions of Northwest art." -HistoryLink.org
"A fitting tribute to an important local arts organization.
Highly recommended." "-Choice"
Territorial Hues: The Color Print and Washington State, 1920-1960
will consist of prints that display the cultural and stylistic
influences used by Washington State artists to produce highly
exceptional works that reflect the color, light, and atmosphere
that is unique to this region. The book focuses on several mediums
including color woodcut, intaglio, serigraphy, and lithography. The
influences of Japanese prints and regional appropriations of
international movements will be examined as well as the local
production of white-line prints.

To increase the performance of the current US satellite launch
capability, new rocket designs must be undertaken. One concept that
has been around since the 50s but yet to be utilized on a launch
platform is the aerospike, or plug nozzle. The aerospike nozzle
concept demonstrates globally better performance compared to a
conventional bell nozzle, since the expansion of the jet is not
bounded by a wall and therefore can adjust to the environment by
changing the outer jet boundary. A dual-expander aerospike nozzle
(DEAN) rocket concept would exceed the Integrated High Payoff
Rocket Propulsion Technology initiative (IHPRPT) phase three goals.
This document covers the design of the chamber and nozzle of the
DEAN. The validation of the design of the DEAN are based on the
model in Numerical Propulsion System Simulation (NPSS TM), added
with the nozzle design from Two-Dimensional Kinematics (TDK 04TM).
The result is a rocket engine that produces 57,231 lbf (254.5 kN)
of thrust at an Isp of 472 s. Additionally, the oxygen wall is made
of silicon carbide, with a melting point of 5580 R (3100 K), and
has a maximum temperature at the throat of 1625 R (902 K).
The current resurgence of tuberculosis (TB) is being sustained and
fuelled by the increasing incidence of resistance of M tuberculosis
strains to the most-effective (first-line) anti-TB drugs and
association of active TB disease with concomitant human
immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection or other underlying
immunosuppressive conditions such as diabetes. In this book, the
authors study the risk factors, drug resistance data and treatment
methods for tuberculosis. Topics discussed include the global
burden of TB and its public health crisis; new medicines to treat
TB; rapid microcalorimetric detection of TB; meta-analysis and risk
factors for tuberculosis susceptibility; Type 2 diabetes as a risk
factor for TB; and elucidating the action mode of the bi-substrate
InhA inhibitors as anti-tuberculosis agents through molecular
dynamics simulations.
