  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Exploring Sense of Place of Community Gardens in Portland Author: Shields, Barbara E. Year: 2011 The study examines social and physical connections and images that define the sense of place of three community gardens managed by the City of Portland. Most research on community gardens focuses on social group connections and their impact on community revitalization and empowerment. Few studies consider the impact of physical and social connections to community gardens from the perspective of individual gardeners in constructing their sense of place. No studies have yet examined the relationship between spatial images, space connections, and empowerment feelings related to community gardens. This study is intended to initiate a discussion on the empowerment experience of individual gardeners and their images associated with community gardens in the context of sense of place. Thirty gardeners participated in the study. The use of the narrative photo storytelling method applied through de Certeau's practice of everyday life and narrative city approach enabled gardeners to express in their own terms connections to space and experience of empowerment achieved through community gardening. The study proposes the concept of the Natural Realm as the context for sense of place of Portland Community gardens. Natural Realm deemphasizes the human-centric view of nature. Community gardeners most commonly experience empowerment by perceiving community gardens as sacred places where people feel well because they can grow healthy food, practice green domesticity, and learn from nature in a beautiful setting. The study applies Rocha's ladder of empowerment to examine the relevance of individual and group action in fulfilling empowerment goals in the context of sense of place. Gardeners accomplish most of their empowerment goals through solitary efforts to maximize pleasurable activities and increase personal efficacy and satisfaction by optimizing physical and social connections in community gardens.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Structure from Motion Elevation Model for Adding Topographic Correction to Ground Penetrating Radar Author: Mowbray, Leslie A Year: 2015 High resolution elevation models have become a standard tool in environmental, geological and archaeological investigations, however; the cost of acquiring Lidar in remote areas, on small project sites or over repeated time intervals remains prohibitively expensive. Here, open-source software and GIS are used to create a digital elevation model (DEM) from aerial photos in a process known as Structure from Motion (SfM). This process is a fraction of the cost of Lidar acquisition, and is shown to produce a model with comparable resolution. The photos used here were taken from a camera hung from a balloon flown at Mickey Springs in the Alvord Desert, SE Oregon. The model was georeferenced by a combination of handheld GPS and total-station-surveyed ground control points (GCPs). As a proof-of-concept, DEM-derived elevation profiles are compared to total-station-surveyed elevation profiles (independent of the GCPs) and used to apply topographic correction to ground penetrating radar (GPR) transects. The results of this study show that SfM-derived DEMs can be used to topographically correct dense grids of GPR, or be used to add topography to other subsurface investigations such as resistivity or seismic surveys, saving time in the field.

(DJI) was founded in 2006 as a hobbyist venture, but soon transformed into the world’s largest drone manufacturer. The company’s main aim is to develop a flying - camera stabilization system - to capture amazing photos and video. DJI technology does more than simply enable creators. They push visionaries to go beyond the limits of what is thought possible, motivating them to inspire the world, a culture of constant innovation and curiosity, and a focus on transforming complex technology into easy-to-use devices. Building on the ethos of “form follows function,” DJI’s products combine advanced technology with dynamic designs.

Year: 1977 A group of red-eared turtles (Pseudemys scripta elegans) was acclimated to 18-20˚C and artificial photo-period for 21 days. The animals were then individually placed in a thermal gradient and their selected temperatures were continuously recorded for 24 hours. A second group of turtles was acclimatized to 7.5-11.0˚C and natural photoperiods for 28 days, and subsequently tested in the same manner as the first group. Lastly, the turtles in the first group, after being acclimated to 3.0˚C and the previous artificial photoperiod for 14 days, were retested in the gradient.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: A multidimensional analysis of physical attractiveness in the formation of first impressions Author: Smith Hunter, Jewel Marianna Year: 1986 Before any words are spoken, an individual's appearance is his or her first line of nonverbal communication with the rest of the world. Prior research conducted on physical attractiveness has been vague and contradictory and has not assessed its many components. Rather, past investigators have perceived physical attractiveness as a "unidimensional" concept. Several phases were involved in the task of proving or disproving the hypotheses of the study. The first general phase began with the selection of photographic subjects, progressed into the creation of a set of photographs which were to become the stimuli, and proceeded to the selection of the photo judges, whose evaluations would determine the final select group of 18 photographs and their physical attractiveness intensity levels.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Match That Photo! Embracing Analog Methods to Enhance Digital Collections Author: Passehl-Stoddart, Erin Year: 2015 When creating digital collections, different methods and workflows may be considered depending on the size, amount of metadata, and who will be staffing parts of the digitization process. Feeling overwhelmed with 500+ photographs with minimal metadata, I employed an analog tactic: playing a card matching game with printed photographs. Through matching, metadata was enhanced and locations identified more efficiently than staring at a computer screen. The collection was recently published online and has received local and statewide attention, in part due to its enhanced metadata and researched storyline. This poster will present alternative ways to employ visual literacy tactics to provide a creative, fun way to involve students and staff in creating and enhancing large digital collections.
