PopTech Ecomaterials Innovation Lab
The PopTech Ecomaterials Innovation Lab convenes this summer with a goal of fostering breakthroughs in next-generation, ‘ultra-green’ ecological materials and industrial processes.
A network of renowned materials scientists, sustainability experts, industrial ecologists and other key stakeholders will explore the future of such materials and processes, and strategies for accelerating their adoption.

The church of Aghioi Anargyroi was next on our walking tour of Kastoria, as described on my blog here.
The church is a three-aisled basilica of the 11th century. I am not sure if it was open or not, but I have one fresco photographed which is likely from this church, but it does not look like it fits with the 11th C original decor, nor the 12th C decor during the renovation. And I don't remember any of the fancy stuff I have seen since on the internet as belonging to the church of the Aghioi Anargyroi.
Shot in April 2006 on a Nikkormat EL, with a Nikkor 28mm f/3.5 AI lens, probably on Kodak film, scanned at the lab, post-processed in GIMP.
This is where the rug sits in the lab. Students gather on (or near) the rug at the beginning of class for instructions. I don't have a projector or IWB in the lab so I have a large monitor hooked to an even larger TV with a AVerMedia QuickPlay PC-to-TV Scan Converter. It's not great but it works better than a monitor alone which is what I used last year.
This image was scanned from a plan in the BHP Coal Geology plan set. The set of plans was donated to the Geology Department at University of Newcastle by BHP Coal Geology, in the early 1960s. The plans were transferred to Cultural Collections and stored in archives at the Auchmuty Library, University of Newcastle (2012), together with other archival material from the Geology Dept.
The plans were scanned at 400dpi in GLAMx Lab, Cultural Collections, in August 2017. This set of plans was generated from the scans by Russell Rigby in October 2017 - the original scans were adjusted using Irfanview software and the following steps:
1/ the scans were "squared up" where necessary by fine rotation, and cropped to remove frayed edges, binding holes etc - all information was preserved.
2/ the scans were resized to 160dpi (40% of original)to get a set of plans at manageable size.
3/ the resized images were"auto adjusted" to improve colour rendition and contrast
4/ the adjusted images were saved as high quality jpg files (80%)
5/ the adjusted images were renamed for consistency.
The borehole and shaft numbers used on these plans are from sequential numbering of the data points generated within BHP Coal Geology. A reference listing of the BHPCG numbers used for the Newcastle Coalfield with the name and number of the data point is held in archives by Glencore, Mineral Resources, and may also be in the University collection (to be confirmed). Copies of the drillhole and shaft logs are contained in sets of typed sheets, with hand-coloured graphic logs.
The scanned plans are dye-line prints. They were printed from originals on transparent film which were updated from time to time in BHP Coal Geology. Later versions of these plans may be available from other sources, and the updated originals may still be in the archives now held by Glencore. The printed plans are hand coloured.
The plans are approximately 1050mm x 760mm, at a scale of 4 inches:1 mile (1:15840) unless otherwise shown. They are bound in a single hard-cover folio.

one shot of evidence as to the useless efforts of mine in the wee hours before the lab reopens for the morning session
Tour of Labs in ISTB 3 and greenhouses and growing ponds at Polytechnic campus.
Amit Vasavada, general atomics looks at stuff in lab.
Jordan Pacheco, talks about research poster session.
My lab/wet darkroom is not ready yet, but close to a workable state.
The sink is large enough to clean trays or to wash prints up to 30x40cm.
The water faucet can swing over to the old Jobo to fill it up. There's just enough room to set up the CPE2plus - that's why I have installed the sink rotated.
Some racks will be mounted over the sink.
