SUMMARY:Open Board meeting
DESCRIPTION:Every first Friday of the month\, we hold an open board meeting for the benefit of our members. Here you can contact us with your questions\, create ideas and hopefully together with us\, give substance to our plans for the future. \nDuring every open board meeting you will find a screen above the water with our current statistics\, these are updated monthly and are there for your information. \nProgram \n\nOpening\nSubjects from the board of directors\nPodcast promotion\nYouTube: Quality of our videos and content\nQuestions & ideas from our members\nClosing\n\n  \nNOTE: a transcript of all board meetings is stored and made available to the board of directors for future reference. It will not be publicly available. \nIf this time does not suit you\, please send your questions etc via IM\, notecard or email to Jes or Chantal. We will submit your question\, idea or comment to the board and provide you with the answer. \n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:What is Entropy?
DESCRIPTION:WHAT IS ENTROPY? \n“Entropy is disorder.”\nYou’ve learned this from popular culture\, you’ve learned this in your physical science\, chemistry\, or biology class.\nBut what does that *mean*? We have an intuitive sense for what “disorder” is\, but how do you really define it rigorously for a scientific concept? \nThere are two ways to approach it; one is as a term in thermodynamic equations\, the other is as a fundamental concept from statistical mechanics (on which thermodynamics is based). \nIn this talk\, I will try to convey the true fundamental definition of entropy at a level that anybody can understand. We will roll dice\, we will talk about how physical systems can be more “ordered” or “disordered” in a rigorous sense\, and hopefully we will shed some light on what entropy really is. \nPodcast Interview with Rob \n  \n— Rob Knop  \nHomepage \nBlog \nPrevious work in the Library \nPrevious work in the Film Collection

SUMMARY:Optics for Photographers
DESCRIPTION:A tutorial on “Optics for photographers”.\nThis tutorial is intended to teach practical optical concepts to persons who are photographers but have not had formal training in optics and may have acquired misleading notions from camera advertisements\, the common talk on forums\, and the like.\nThe tutorial outline is shown below. \nOptics for Photographers\nby Robert Lawson Brown\, Ph.D.\nPhysicist and Photographer \n  \nPinhole Camera\n– Making a Pinhole Camera\n– Using a body cap on a regular camera\n– Raytracing\nField of View\n– Sensor Size and Image Distance\nMagnification\n– Object Distance and Image Distance \nThe relationship of pinholes optics to lens optics.\nFocal length\nDepth of field \nISO\, Aperture\, and shutter speed.\nChoosing the right lens.\nPerspective is about where you stand.\nThumb through my portfolio. \n

SUMMARY:Ultra Deep Science Drill Ship
DESCRIPTION:Photo: JAMSTEC \nWhere? Abyss Observatory in JOGrid (OpenSim) \nEnable your OpenSim access here \nhop://jogrid.net:8002/Abyss Observatory/491/302/140 \nWho? Hajime Nishimura\, Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC)\, \n          Yan Lauria\, Museum director of Abyss Observatory in SL/OpenSim \n  \nAbstract: \nI was working on development of ultra deep science drill ship “Chikyu” (“the Earth” in English) from 2001 to 2005. \nI built 3D model of “Chikyu” in Science Sim (one of OpenSim grids hosted by Intel) as joint project with ScienceCircle Foundation and JAMSTEC in 2011\, but Science Sim was closed and I imported “Chikyu” to JOGrid (Japan Open Grid hosted by Tokyo University of Information Science) in 2014 and continue to improve until now. \n”Chikyu” is first and only science drill ship which has well control capability for core sampling through deeper penetration by 2\,500 m Riser drilling system which has 9\,000 m drill strings\, 2\,500 riser pipes\, Blow Out Preventer (BOP) and mud circulation system for cuttings recovery from drill hole compatible with commercial oil drilling. \nhttps://www.jamstec.go.jp/chikyu/e/ \nIn current phase\, “Chikyu” is engaging at 2\,500 m depth water and drilling 5\,200 m from the seafloor in plate subduction zone under strong Kuroshio current (more than 2 m/sec). \nTarget is seismic zone of the plate interface fault system at a location where it is believed to be capable of seismogenic locking and slip\, and to have slipped coseismically in the 1944 Tonankai earthquake. \nhttp://www.jamstec.go.jp/chikyu/e/nantroseize/expedition_358.html \nIn future phase\, “Chikyu” will be upgraded for 4\,000 m riser and 11\,000m drill strings which enable to reach crust-mantle boundary. \nChikyu’s drill will have to go through 4000m of water and 6000m of crust to be able to reach the mantle\, which makes up roughly 84 percent of our planet’s volume.   \nThe researchers also want to investigate the boundary between the oceanic crust and the mantle to figure out how the crust formed. Plus\, they want to see if microbial life exists that deep inside the planet. \nTo do this requires new techniques to drill out 7\,000 m below the seafloor\, in regions where ambient temperatures can reach 250 degrees C \nhttp://www.gm.univ-montp2.fr/spip/spip.php?rubrique185&lang=en \nRemark; \nI’ll use voice chat in English and Japanese. \nThe region is 512m x 512m (Varregion of OpenSim) and there are huge amount of prims\, so you may be difficult to move depend on your PC and Internet. \nPlease try Hypergrid teleport in advance the presentation. \n  \nAn excursion led by Hajime Nishimura “Ultra Deep Science Drill Ship” at Abyss Observatory in Japan Open Grid (JOGrid) \nHajime Nishimura / Yan Lauria \n  \nPrevious work in the Library \nPrevious work in the Film collection
