Platinotype Making Photographs in Platinum and Palladium with the Contemporary Printing-out Process

Platinotype Making Photographs in Platinum and Palladium with the Contemporary Printing-out Process

Platinotype: Making Photographs in Platinum and Palladium with the Contemporary Printing-out Process describes the mechanisms and chemistry of platinum/palladium printing in safe and practical ways. Clearly presented formulae allow the printer to work with platinum palladium or varying combinations of both. The printed-out image appears fully during exposure and only requires simple and safe steps for clearing to a stable archival state. The authors explain what makes the image how all necessary components are prepared and used and the kind of paper and negative needed to make prints. More than just a technical manual the book underscores the authors' belief that printing is a creative scientific and philosophic way of working. The book presents an outstanding collection of prints by over 40 artists all made with this printing-out process. The artists' notes and comments offer insights into their methods and thinking and a large number of full-page reproductions serve as a valuable reference for the aspiring printer. The book includes: A list of supplies and equipment A detailed chemical glossary A Quick-start section in the Preface Summary sheets and workflows for each step of the process Instructions for making traditional negatives with Pyro PMK and digital negatives Explanation of the chemistry and dynamics of paper and how to use buffered papers Instructions for controlling hydration processes and humidity Instructions for preparing each chemical solution needed for the process Discussion about the aesthetics of the platinum/palladium print Explanation of the relationships between light image and expression A detailed troubleshooting list Recommendations from conservators about processing handling and conservation Contemporary artists using the printing-out platinum/palladium process. Learning how to make platinum/palladium prints has been cloaked in a mystique of difficulty. Platinotype presents the process as a set of clearly explained and defined steps. Like other books in the series Platinotype is a detailed and inspiring manual accessible to both novices and experts and illustrative of the contemporary arts. | Platinotype Making Photographs in Platinum and Palladium with the Contemporary Printing-out Process

Line Integral Methods for Conservative Problems

Line Integral Methods for Conservative Problems

Line Integral Methods for Conservative Problems explains the numerical solution of differential equations within the framework of geometric integration a branch of numerical analysis that devises numerical methods able to reproduce (in the discrete solution) relevant geometric properties of the continuous vector field. The book focuses on a large set of differential systems named conservative problems particularly Hamiltonian systems. Assuming only basic knowledge of numerical quadrature and Runge–Kutta methods this self-contained book begins with an introduction to the line integral methods. It describes numerous Hamiltonian problems encountered in a variety of applications and presents theoretical results concerning the main instance of line integral methods: the energy-conserving Runge–Kutta methods also known as Hamiltonian boundary value methods (HBVMs). The authors go on to address the implementation of HBVMs in order to recover in the numerical solution what was expected from the theory. The book also covers the application of HBVMs to handle the numerical solution of Hamiltonian partial differential equations (PDEs) and explores extensions of the energy-conserving methods. With many examples of applications this book provides an accessible guide to the subject yet gives you enough details to allow concrete use of the methods. MATLAB codes for implementing the methods are available online.

Power System Transients Theory and Applications Second Edition

Power System Transients Theory and Applications Second Edition

This new edition covers a wide area from transients in power systems—including the basic theory analytical calculations EMTP simulations computations by numerical electromagnetic analysis methods and field test results—to electromagnetic disturbances in the field on EMC and control engineering. Not only does it show how a transient on a single-phase line can be explained from a physical viewpoint but it then explains how it can be solved analytically by an electric circuit theory. Approximate formulas which can be calculated by a pocket calculator are presented so that a transient can be analytically evaluated by a simple hand calculation. Since a real power line is three-phase this book includes a theory that deals with a multi-phase line for practical application. In addition methods for tackling a real transient in a power system are introduced. This new edition contains three completely revised and updated chapters as well as two new chapters on grounding and numerical methods. | Power System Transients Theory and Applications Second Edition

Fruit Flies (Tephritidae) Phylogeny and Evolution of Behavior

Fruit Flies (Tephritidae) Phylogeny and Evolution of Behavior

Fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) are among the most destructive agricultural pests in the world eating their way through acres and acres of citrus and other fruits at an alarming rate and forcing food and agriculture agencies to spend millions of dollars in control and management measures. But until now the study of fruit flies has been traditionally biased towards applied aspects (e. g. management monitoring and mass rearing)-understandable given the tremendous economic impact of this species. This work is the first that comprehensively addresses the study of the phylogeny and the evolution of fruit fly behavior. An international group of highly renowned scientists review the current state of knowledge and include considerable new findings on various aspects of fruit fly behavior phylogeny and related subjects. In the past the topics of phylogeny and evolution of behavior were barely addressed and when so often superficially. Fruit Flies (Tephritidae): Phylogeny and Evolution of Behavior is a definitive treatment covering all behaviors in a broad range of tephritids. | Fruit Flies (Tephritidae) Phylogeny and Evolution of Behavior

On Animation The Director's Perspective Vol 1

On Animation The Director's Perspective Vol 1

Be a fly on the wall as industry leaders Bill Kroyer and Tom Sito take us through insightful face-to-face interviews revealing in these two volumes the journeys of 23 world-class directors as they candidly share their experiences and personal views on the process of making feature animated films. The interviews were produced and edited by Ron Diamond. Your job is not to be the one with the answers. You should be the one that gets the answers. That’s your job. You need to make friends and get to know your crew. These folks are your talent your bag of tricks. And that’s where you’re going to find answers to the big problems - Andrew Stanton It’s hard. Yet the pain you go through to get what you need for your film enriches you and it enriches the film. – Brenda Chapman Frank and Ollie always used to say that great character animation contains movement that is generated by the character’s thought process. It can’t be plain movement. – John Lasseter The beauty of clay is that it doesn’t have to be too polished or too smooth and sophisticated. You don’t want it to be mechanical and lifeless. – Nick Park The good thing about animation is that tape is very cheap. Let the actor try things. This is where animation gets to play with spontaneity. You want to capture that line as it has never been said before. And most likely if you asked the actor to do it again he or she just can’t repeat that exact performance. But you got it. – Ron Clements | On Animation The Director's Perspective Vol 1
