Tremco, a commercial sealant and waterproofing company, was contacted on 7/27/17 for information regarding the issues observed. The sales representative, Liz Bailey, stated that the issues observed with the existing traffic system are consistent with urethane based traffic coatings. These traffic coatings are inexpensive to apply, but only have about a 5 year life expectancy. This can be further reduced in high traffic, high temperature, and high UV areas. Tremco recommended the use of a…

Photography is not just strictly visual, it is influential, subjective, objective, and impactful. It is a means and a medium to bring about change in society or the world. The camera is a small but powerful tool to bring about social change but to also share an image, an image captured in a moment of time. In a quote by renowned American photographer Aaron Siskind, “Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever... it remembers little…

the two previously stated methods of implied depth, “the effect of overlap is strengthened by diminishing size, which gives a sense of increasing distance between each of the shapes,” or in this case figures within the work (45). We can see this method being used when observing the way the figures in the painting are spaced out, overlapped, and made smaller or larger depending on their location on the canvas. The visual elements of Paolo’s work are clearly seen; however, it might take a more…

Photography has been my passion for a few years now, and I love the artistic representation that photography has to offer, including that of self-portraiture. I found the article Reflections on Self-Portraiture in Photography by Ina Loewenberg an interesting read and think the author has valid points throughout. The article states “We understand a portrait in any medium to be an artist’s interpretive rendering of the “subject” while a self-portrait is an artist’s presentation of…

Astronomy Practical – Carey Zimmer The aim of this experiment is to verify the inverse square law involving the light from the globe of an optics kit (The star) and a light meter placed some distance away. This is to be done by analysing the relationship between the source and the detector. Hypothesis: If the distance between a light source and a light meter increases, then the amount of Lux recorded on the light meter will decrease. Materials: • Light box kit • Power supply • Meter ruler •…

An object is chiral if it has a non-superimposable mirror image. Our hands are mirror images that cannot be superimposed on each other therefore they are chiral. There are objects that do have a superimposable mirror image, like a drinking glass or ball and these are known to be achiral (Morris Hein, 2013). A carbon compound needs to have four different atoms or groups attached to at least one carbon atom for it to be classified as chiral (Timberlake, 2009). Chiral compounds are also called…

What is interesting is that he writes about how photography is a process of taking what we already see, it is based on selection not synthesis. We do not get to create what we want to see when taking photos of the world, is all about how we see it that makes a photo interesting, “the world itself is an artist of incomparable inventiveness,” (Szarkowski 3). So a photographer’s job is to see the art that the world has created and to capture it, to express what he has seen. This shows us that…

When a lens produces an image, the size of it corresponds to the focal length of the lens. The smaller the focal length, the smaller the image and the longer the focal length the bigger the image. How bright an image may be solely depends on the amount of light collected by the objective lens. How much light can be collected corresponds to the area of the objective lens. So the bigger the objective lens, the more light can be collected. If you want to increase the light gathering power by 4, you…

The results were a success and were exactly done the way that was explained in the procedure. There were a few complications when it came down to it. Since there were not enough resources, our group had to cut the length of the basic optical bench by half a meter instead of a meter that was instructed in the procedure. Our group learned that if the object distance is smaller than the image distance, then it projects a larger image, which leaves a larger image size. If the object distance is…
