Fault tectonics and earthquake hazards in the peninsular Ranges, Southern California

The author has identified the following significant results. Images of SL2 EREP Pass 2, S192 channels were generated, with six channels usable. Analysis of SL4 photographs of the Mojave Desert were continued. An overflight was made along several active faults. A number of topographic indicators of recent faulting are identifiable in Skylab photos, particularly S190B photos

Sonic souvenirs: exploring the paradoxes of recorded sound for family remembering

Many studies have explored social processes and technologies associated with sharing photos. In contrast, we explore the role of sound as a medium for social reminiscing. We involved 10 families in recording 'sonic souvenirs' of their holidays. They shared and discussed their collections on their return. We compared these sounds with their photo taking activities and reminiscences. Both sounds and pictures triggered active collaborative reminiscing, and attempts to capture iconic representations of events. However sounds differed from photos in that they were more varied, familial and creative. Further, they often expressed the negative or mundane in order to be 'true to life', and were harder to interpret than photos. Finally we saw little use of pure explanatory narrative. We reflect on the relations between sound and family memory and propose new designs on the basis of our findings, to better support the sharing and manipulation of social sounds

Flickr: A case study of Web2.0

The “photosharing” site Flickr is one of the most commonly cited examples used to define Web2.0. This paper explores where Flickr’s real novelty lies, examining its functionality and its place in the world of amateur photography. The paper draws on a wide range of sources including published interviews with its developers, user opinions expressed in forums, telephone interviews and content analysis of user profiles and activity. Flickr’s development path passes from an innovative social game to a relatively familiar model of a website, itself developed through intense user participation but later stabilising with the reassertion of a commercial relationship to the membership. The broader context of the impact of Flickr is examined by looking at the institutions of amateur photography and particularly the code of pictorialism promoted by the clubs and industry during the C20th. The nature of Flickr as a benign space is premised on the way the democratic potential of photography is controlled by such institutions. Several optimistic views of the impact of Flickr such as its facilitation of citizen journalism, “vernacular creativity” and in learning as an “affinity space” are evaluated. The limits of these claims are identified in the way that the system is designed to satisfy commercial purposes, continuing digital divides in access and the low interactivity and criticality on Flickr. Flickr is an interesting source of change, but can only to be understood in the perspective of long term development of the hobby and wider social processes

Basin scale assessment of landslides geomorphological setting by advanced InSAR analysis

An extensive investigation of more than 90 landslides affecting a small river basin in Central Italy was performed by combining field surveys and remote sensing techniques. We thus defined the geomorphological setting of slope instability processes. Basic information, such as landslides mapping and landslides type definition, have been acquired thanks to geomorphological field investigations and multi-temporal aerial photos interpretation, while satellite SAR archive data (acquired by ERS and Envisat from 1992 to 2010) have been analyzed by means of A-DInSAR (Advanced Differential Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar) techniques to evaluate landslides past displacements patterns. Multi-temporal assessment of landslides state of activity has been performed basing on geomorphological evidence criteria and past ground displacement measurements obtained by A-DInSAR. This step has been performed by means of an activity matrix derived from information achieved thanks to double orbital geometry. Thanks to this approach we also achieved more detailed knowledge about the landslides kinematics in time and space

Colloidal interactions in an alternate make cheese : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Food Technology at Massey University, (Manawatū), New Zealand

The role of emulsion structure and interactions on the material and technical functionality of an alternate make cheese (AMC) was investigated. Lab scale cheese samples (25 g comprising 23 wt.% fat and 20 wt.%) were prepared by recombining model emulsions with a separate protein phase under controlled temperature, shear speed and residence time in a rapid visco analyser (RVA). Sodium caseinate and Tween 20 were used respectively to stabilize fat globules for the model emulsions. Preliminary experiments were carried out for samples prepared using either calcium caseinate or sodium caseinate as protein phase. Structural characterisation of samples showed emulsion structure and distribution within these phases to be dependent on protein type. It was inferred that the calcium from calcium caseinate matrix modified the interfacial layer of the emulsions stabilised by sodium caseinate, as indicated by the increased fat globule size distribution after cheese making. In comparison, the size of fat globules covered with sodium caseinate appeared relatively stable in cheese produced form cheese curd. Based on these observations, caseinates were subsequently replaced by cheese curd as the protein phase for the remainder of the study. For cheese samples prepared with low fat cheese curd, fat droplets stabilised with sodium caseinate were hypothesised as binding with the surrounding protein matrix, and thereby these fat globules could be considered as ‘active fillers’. Confocal laser scanning microscopy supported this hypothesis showing homogeneously dispersed fat droplets within the protein network. This emulsion system did not show fat-protein phase separation in baking (170 °C 10 minutes) as droplets were prevented from coalescing as a consequence of entrapment within the protein phase. Fat globules covered with Tween 20 were hypothesised as behaving as ‘inactive fillers’, with the adsorbed layer not anticipated to form bonds with the surrounding protein network. Confocal and scanning electron microscopy instead showed localised domains of fat droplets within the protein structure that underwent partial coalescence on cooling of the cheese after manufacture. Cheeses comprising Tween stabilised droplets exhibited phase separation on baking and visible oil-off on the surface of cheese arising from extensive coalescence taking place within the localised regions of fat due to melting of the partially coalesced structures. Additional rheological analysis of cheeses was carried out to determine the effect of droplet-protein interactions on the material properties of the cheese samples. Notably, findings were presented in relation to a non-fat control cheese. Findings showed that, at temperatures below 30 °C when fat was crystallized, both inactive and active fillers had a higher relative modulus to the non-fat sample. However, at elevated temperature without fat crystals, inactive fillers resulted in a relative reduction in storage modulus when compared to the non-fat cheese, while active fillers increased relative storage modulus. Model cheeses prepared with either sodium caseinate or Tween 20 stabilised emulsions were then compared to cheese samples comprising non-homogenised cream as the emulsion phase. Structural analysis of samples determined that cheeses comprising fat globules stabilized with native milk fat globule membrane behaved in a manner analogous to samples prepared with the Tween stabilised emulsion, indicating the presence of inactive droplets. However, it was also observed that increasing the residence time of cheese production within the RVA caused a transition of the interaction behaviour of the emulsion from inactive to active, as evidenced by corresponding changes to structural, material and functional properties of the cheese. Further exploration of this transition determined that the mechanical work applied during cheese preparation was sufficient to homogenise fat droplets during extended shearing, resulting in a reduction to fat droplet size. Droplet homogenisation during shearing was also found to have disrupted the native milk fat globule membrane, allowing protein adsorption to take place. It was also determined that whey proteins were the predominant interfacial fraction adsorbed as a consequence of extended shearing, and were considered responsible for the transition of droplets from inactive to active. Combined findings have shown that the material and functional properties of an alternate make cheese composition could be strongly influenced by the interactions of the emulsion phase with the surrounding protein network. These interactions could, in turn, be manipulated through formulation and/or process design, providing greater control over product properties

Making history: intentional capture of future memories

Lifelogging' technology makes it possible to amass digital data about every aspect of our everyday lives. Instead of focusing on such technical possibilities, here we investigate the way people compose long-term mnemonic representations of their lives. We asked 10 families to create a time capsule, a collection of objects used to trigger remembering in the distant future. Our results show that contrary to the lifelogging view, people are less interested in exhaustively digitally recording their past than in reconstructing it from carefully selected cues that are often physical objects. Time capsules were highly expressive and personal, many objects were made explicitly for inclusion, however with little object annotation. We use these findings to propose principles for designing technology that supports the active reconstruction of our future past

Family memories in the home: contrasting physical and digital mementos

We carried out fieldwork to characterise and compare physical and digital mementos in the home. Physical mementos are highly valued, heterogeneous and support different types of recollection. Contrary to expectations, we found physical mementos are not purely representational, and can involve appropriating common objects and more idiosyncratic forms. In contrast, digital mementos were initially perceived as less valuable, although participants later reconsidered this. Digital mementos were somewhat limited in function and expression, largely involving representational photos and videos, and infrequently accessed. We explain these digital limitations and conclude with design guidelines for digital mementos, including better techniques for accessing and integrating these into everyday life, allowing them to acquire the symbolic associations and lasting value that characterise their physical counterparts
