    Digital Heritage: Anticipating an Integrated Way Forward Workshop Report Edited by Ingval Maxwell and Diana Avramica Thanks are due to Historic Environment Scotland for hosting the Edinburgh Group Workshop arranged in association with the Group’s meeting at The Engine Shed, Stirling on 7 November 2019. Thanks and appreciation are due to all speakers who freely gave their time to prepare for and offer the workshop presentations for discussion. This report, on building upon the presentations, develops the issues raises by the speakers by offering additional information with on-line url links to the variously referenced support topics. Thanks are also due to Barry Bridgwood for his editorial support. The event was enabled by COTAC on behalf of the Edinburgh Group. Council on Training in Architectural Conservation (COTAC) COTAC originated in 1959 in response to the need for training resources for practitioners so they could properly specify and oversee work involved in repairing and conserving historic buildings and churches. Since its inception the Charity has persistently and influentially worked to lift standards, develop training qualifications and build networks across the UK’s conservation, repair and maintenance (CRM) sector, estimated at over 40% of all construction industry activities. This has involved working partnership with national agencies, professional and standard setting bodies, educational establishments and training interests.

  • Major Update to Adobe Photoshop CC Brings 3D Printing to the Design World
    Press Contacts Marissa Lee Adobe Systems Incorporated 415-832-5378 [email protected] Reagan Crossley Edelman 650-762-2955 [email protected] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Major Update to Adobe Photoshop CC Brings 3D Printing to the Design World First 2014 Creative Cloud Release Also Includes Amazing Perspective Warp Capability in Photoshop CC SAN JOSE, Calif., — January 16, 2014 — Adobe (Nasdaq:ADBE) today unveiled new 3D printing capabilities in Adobe® Photoshop® CC. By radically simplifying the 3D print process, Photoshop CC will become the go-to tool for anyone who wants to print a 3D model. Available immediately, as part of a major update to Adobe Creative Cloud™, the new 3D printing capabilities integrated in Photoshop CC enable Creative Cloud members to easily and reliably build, refine, preview, prepare and print 3D designs, setting the stage for explosive growth in the 3D printing market. The new 3D printing capabilities also help creatives to design in 3D from scratch or refine an existing 3D model and produce beautiful, print-ready 3D models using familiar Photoshop tools. Automated mesh repair and support structure generation ensure models will be produced reliably, while accurate previews allow creatives to submit print jobs with confidence. “The new 3D print capabilities in Photoshop CC take the guess work out of printing 3D models for everyone,” said Winston Hendrickson, vice president products, Creative Media Solutions, Adobe. “Before today there was a gap between the content produced by 3D modeling tools and what 3D printers need in order to deliver high quality results. Now, by simply clicking ‘Print’ in Photoshop CC, creatives can bring 3D designs to the physical world.” Photoshop CC Turbocharges Emerging 3D Print Ecosystem With today’s release of Photoshop CC, designs can be printed to a locally connected 3D printer or via built-in access to popular online 3D print services.

This latter part of Fernie's comment above is critical, given that much literature related to 3D digitization relates to the selection of the best digitization technology for the specific object, architecture, or archaeological site to digitize.

  • Exploring Effective Publishing in the Web3d World
    University of Pisa Department of Computer Science Ph.D. Thesis: XXX cycle Exploring Effective Publishing in the Web3D World Marco Potenziani Supervisor Supervisor Dr. Roberto Scopigno Dr. Marco Callieri April, 2018 Abstract Web3D is most certainly an intriguing world. Its story has changed suddenly with the advent of WebGL, evolving from a slow and stagnant past to a dynamic and rapidly-evolving present. 3D data is becoming one of the key digital media on the Web, with a wide number of solutions specifically designed for publishing and consuming three-dimensional content online. Unfortunately, this field experimented a quick and often chaotic growth, presenting nowadays a dichotomy between pure research-oriented and market-oriented approaches. This has somehow shaped the directions of Web3D development, creating de-facto standards and solutions tailored to specific fields, or only focused towards mainstream publishing actions and thus unable to cope with the needs of more specialized and technical 3D users. Under these premises, the aim of the thesis has been to investigate the shortcomings and missing features of Web3D technology, as well as to propose a solution aimed at filling these empty spots. We start by presenting an analysis of the state of the art of 3D Web publishing, surveying the features provided by the major current approaches, useful to categorize the existing solutions and to cross-map them with the requirements of the different application domains. Then, in what is the main contribution of the thesis, we exploit the result of our analysis of the Web3D and discuss the design and implementation of a flexible platform, aimed at providing an effective framework for the Web presentation of specialized 3D content.

    ARTICLES PUBLISHED ONLINE: 7 SEPTEMBER 2015 | DOI: 10.1038/NNANO.2015.194 A phosphorene–graphene hybrid material as a high-capacity anode for sodium-ion batteries Jie Sun1†, Hyun-Wook Lee1†, Mauro Pasta1,HongtaoYuan2,3, Guangyuan Zheng4, Yongming Sun1, Yuzhang Li1 and Yi Cui1,3* Sodium-ion batteries have recently attracted significant attention as an alternative to lithium-ion batteries because sodium sources do not present the geopolitical issues that lithium sources might. Although recent reports on cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries have demonstrated performances comparable to their lithium-ion counterparts, the major scientific challenge for a competitive sodium-ion battery technology is to develop viable anode materials. Here we show that a hybrid material made out of a few phosphorene layers sandwiched between graphene layers shows a specific capacity of 2,440 mA h g−1 (calculated using the mass of phosphorus only) at a current density of 0.05 A g−1 and an 83% capacity retention after 100 cycles while operating between 0 and 1.5 V. Using in situ transmission electron microscopy and ex situ X-ray diffraction techniques, we explain the large capacity of our anode through a dual mechanism of intercalation of sodium ions along the x axis of the phosphorene layers followed by the formation of a Na3Palloy.The presence of graphene layers in the hybrid material works as a mechanical backbone and an electrical highway, ensuring that a suitable elastic buffer space accommodates the anisotropic expansion of phosphorene layers along the y and z axial directions for stable cycling operation. odium-ion batteries have received a great deal of attention sodium-ion battery anode presently available.

  • Phosphorene: Fabrication, Properties and Applications
    Phosphorene: Fabrication, Properties and Applications Liangzhi Kou †*, Changfeng Chen‡ and Sean C. Smith †* † Integrated Materials Design Centre (IMDC), School of Chemical Engineering, UNSW Australia, Sydney, NSW 2052, Australia. ‡ Department of Physics and Astronomy and High Pressure Science and Engineering Center, University of Nevada, Las Vegas, Nevada 89154, United States Abstract Phosphorene, the single- or few-layer form of black phosphorus, was recently rediscovered as a two- dimensional layered material holding great promise for applications in electronics and optoelectronics. Research into its fundamental properties and device applications has since seen exponential growth. In this Perspective, we review recent progress in phosphorene research, touching upon topics on fabrication, properties, and applications; we also discuss challenges and future research directions. We highlight the intrinsically anisotropic electronic, transport, optoelectronic, thermoelectric, and mechanical properties of phosphorene resulting from its puckered structure in contrast to those of graphene and transition-metal dichalcogenides. The facile fabrication and novel properties of phosphorene have inspired design and demonstration of new nanodevices; however, further progress hinges on resolutions to technical obstructions like surface degradation effects and non-scalable fabrication techniques. We also briefly describe the latest developments of more sophisticated design concepts and implementation schemes that address some of the challenges in phosphorene
