Experimental Research of Selected Lattice Structures Developed with 3D Printing Technology

This paper presents the results of the experimental research of 3D structures developed with an SLA additive technique using Durable Resin V2. The aim of this paper is to evaluate and compare the compression curves, deformation process and energy-absorption parameters of the topologies with different characteristics. The structures were subjected to a quasi-static axial compression test. Five different topologies of lattice structures were studied and compared. In the initial stage of the research, the geometric accuracy of the printed structures was analysed through measurement of the diameter of the beam elements at several selected locations. Compression curves and the stress history at the minimum cross-section of each topology were determined. Energy absorption parameters, including absorbed energy (AE) and specific absorbed energy (SAE), were calculated from the compression curves. Based on the analysis of the photographic material, the failure mode was analysed, and the efficiency of the topologies was compared.

LEGAL PROTECTION IN CASE OF UNREGULATED DISTRIBUTION OF PHOTOS ON THE INTERNET

The report examines the forms of legal protection in the unregulated use and distribution of photographic photos on the Internet. The main normative acts of the Bulgarian and European legislation in this field are analyzed. Attention is also paid to the protection of copyright and personal data when using photographic material in cyberspace.

Duas fotografias em Austerlitz, de W. G. Sebald | Two photographs in Austerlitz, by W. G. Sebald

O presente trabalho discute as relações entre literatura e fotografia em Austerlitz, de W. G. Sebald. Para fazer isso, como ponto de partida, observa-se a suposta oposição entre documento e ficção no emprego de material fotográfico feito por Sebald. Segundo a hipótese deste artigo, a função das fotografias deve ser compreendida a partir do mecanismo literário desenvolvido por Sebald para apresentar a investigação de seu protagonista a respeito de elementos de sua vida passada desconhecida. A pesquisa caracteriza tal procedimento como um “encadeamento de narradores” e, feito isso, debate sobre a função exercida pelas fotografias nas relações entre memória, narração e experiência.Palavras-chave: W. G. Sebald. Fotografia. Memória. Experiência. AbstractThis article discusses the relationship between literature and photography in Austerlitz, by WG Sebald. In order to do that, as a starting point, we observe the supposed opposition between document and fiction in Sebald's use of photographic material. This study proposes that we may understand the role played by photographs in the book by means of the literary mechanism developed by Sebald to present the search of his protagonist for elements of his unknown past. The present article characterizes this procedure as a “chain of narrators” and, after that, discusses the role played by photographs in the relationships between memory, narration and experience.Keywords: W.

Valerijs Bitenieks – From a Student of Riga Polytechnic Institute to a Construction Contractor in the Independent Latvia

A paper on Valerijs Bitenieks, a graduate (1986) of the Faculty of Architecture and Civil Engineering of Riga Polytechnic Institute (RPI), reflects on the daily life of the Soviet students in the 1980s, the work of a young engineer while he was trying various opportunities in the labour market and the engineer’s growth as a successful contractor in the independent Latvia in the 21st century. It traces the life of V. Bitenieks from his childhood to the present day, paying attention to his professional activities. The research provides an insight into students’ internships and extracurricular activities during the Soviet era. Unpublished photographic material unknown to the general public has been obtained.

Valerijs Bitenieks – no Rīgas Politehniskā institūta studenta līdz būvuzņēmējam neatkarīgajā Latvijā

Pētījums par Rīgas Politehniskā institūta (RPI) Arhitektūras un celtniecības fakultātes absolventu (1986) Valeriju Bitenieku atklāj padomju studentu ikdienu 20. gadsimta 80. gados, jaunā inženiera darbību, izmēģinot dažādas iespējas darba tirgū un inženiera izaugsmi par veiksmīgu būvuzņēmēju neatkarīgajā Latvijā 21. gadsimtā. Tajā izsekots V. Bitenieka dzīvei no bērnības līdz mūsdienām, pievēršot uzmanību viņa profesionālajai darbībai. Veicot pētī¬jumu, gūts ieskats par studentu prakses un ārpusstudiju aktivitātēm padomju laikā, iegūti nepublicēti un plašākai sabiedrībai nezināmi fotomateriāli.

A Tour Through Scotland: A Finding Aid of Scottish Tavel Photography at the Archival & Special Collections, University of Guelph

Among the various collections housed in the Archival & Special Collections (ASC) at the University of Guelph is a group of photographic material that exhibits the integral role photography played in Scotland’s tourism industry from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Photographic publishing firms such as G.W. Wilson & Co. and Valentine & Sons, Ltd. incorporated photography into their commercial repertoires and both helped to create and capitalize on Scotland’s vibrant tourism industry during this period. This thesis focuses on this specific group of material that includes four bound albums, five opalines, seven travel view books, and over four hundred stereographs, and additionally looks at how institutions such as the ASC use descriptive tools like finding aids to provide access to and information about their collections. This thesis project reevaluates the structure and role of the finding aid as applied to photographic material in archival collections. Additional components such as a biographical sketches, a glossary of photographic terms, a geographic index, and a historical overview, have been incorporated to further demonstrate how a finding aid can build a greater web of connections and narratives for such collections.

Opportunities to utilize the potential of augmented reality to interact with photographic material in museum and archive collections

The use of Augmented Reality (AR) as an immersive and interactive engagement tool for art and cultural institutions is increasing. AR, when used in a meaningful way, has shown great potential for discovery-based learning experiences. My research considers the potential of AR for photographic collections in museums and archives by addressing two key questions. How can digital tools like AR serve to enhance our understanding of photographs as both object and image? What are the implications and limitations of this technology when used for this purpose? These questions are explored further in the form of a creative project that builds on how AR can be used to enhance interaction with photographic material in archives. These questions are explored further in the form of a creative project that builds on how AR combined with multimedia storytelling can be used to interact with photographic material in archives.
