Author and printer in Victorian England
No full textAuthor and Printer in Victorian England demonstrates that printing technology shapes texts. The technology involved was a nineteenth-century revolution in printing methods; the texts were classic literary works by Victorian authors. What was at stake was textual control: who would decide how the text would read - author, compositor, printer's reader, or publisher? In a unique fusion of literary history and printing history, Allan C. Dooley explores the interactions between individual authors and their publishers and printers. He takes the reader through each stage of a work's development, illustrating how authors attempted to perfect and protect their writings from compositional manuscript through stereotyped reprints. His analysis includes details of a wide range of technical innovations and changes in practices in the printing of books between the development of printing machines in the 1830s and 1840s and the introduction of the Linotype in the 1890s. Drawing on the experiences of leading Victorian authors, he shows how nineteenth-century printing practices both enhanced and diminished writers' abilities to control texts. He reveals that much more was under their control than has commonly been believed and that many authors took advantage of printing technologies in order to gain and maintain control over the texts of their works. But new kinds of errors and new sources of inaccuracy were introduced by the technology as well. One little-known but surprising fact pointed out by Dooley: Victorian authors frequently saw only one set of proofs, which they had to correct with great speed and without their manuscripts in hand. Author and Printer in Victorian England reaches some surprising and controversial conclusions, occasionally touching on current debates about the theory and practice of scholarly editing. Groundbreaking in its scholarship, it provides a basis for future work
Stereogram Printer
No full textThe goal of this creative works project was to build an inexpensive Stereogram printer capable of producing three-dimensional images from a series of two-dimensional pictures. This type of printer is very useful for making hologram-like images of objects and scenes that would be impossible to ‘holograph’ by traditional, optical methods. Though several printers of this type have already been built, they generally cost several thousands of dollars to develop. The author built the following small-scale printer primarily from a 10 scanner. (However, it should be noted that this piece of equipment had to be run on an expensive optics table.
Jakob Klöss: The printer of Decsi’s adagia- a printer and publisher in Bátfa
No full textThe author examines the reason why the press of the one-time Upper-Hungarian
town Bártfa (today Bardejov, Slovakia) owned by Jakob Klöss was chosen in 1598 to print Baranyai
Decsi’s Adagia, his third book to appear in Hungary. His former two works both dedicated to the
Transylvanian Prince Sigismund Báthory unlike his Adagia which was addressed by the author to
Georgius Warkocs were published in two different Transylvanian towns. It was very likely his person
that connected Baranyai Decsi and the printer of Bártfa. He was akin to several noble families resident
in Upper Hungary who financially supported a series of books issued by the printer Jakob
Klöss. It appears that it was to the advantage of Baranyai Decsi’s proverb-collection that it was issued
by a competent printer in a well-equipped office also supplied with Greek types. The author
also gives a reconstruction of the printing types used in Adagia
Disciplining the Author: A Look at the Author-Printer Relationship in America
No full textInternational audienceThe European tradition of printers’ manuals initiated in the early seventeenth century was vigorously perpetuated in the United States throughout the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Although first intended for the print shop, these manuals also aimed at teaching authors the mechanics of printing, in order to maintain a valuable partnership between printer and author. At the turn of the twentieth century, these texts, along with readers’ and publishers’ guidebooks, constructed a technical, professional and ideological discourse on bookmaking. This analysis of some eighteen volumes published between 1870 and 1918 focuses on the tensions between the printing house and the author, largely induced by the acceleration of mechanical tasks. It thus attempts to highlight the specificities of a discourse on bookmaking that reflects both how printers were coming to terms with mechanisation (or the threat thereof), and how they required the author’s contribution in an effort, perhaps, to ascertain the artistic and intellectual dimension of printing

Historical regulation of Victoria's water sector: A case of government failure?
No full textThis paper analyses the role of government failure in Victoria’s water sector between 1905 and 1984 as evidenced in the rise of in-stream salinity. It will be shown that high levels of salinity can, in part, be attributed to regulatory failure for two reasons. First, the method of water allocation, a compulsory minimum charge with the marginal cost of water being zero, encouraged over watering, resulting in increased water tables via groundwater recharge. Second, the government did not provide adequate finance for construction of appropriate removal of saline drainage water, and thereby allowed increasing in-stream salinity.externalities, government failure, institutions, salinity, Resource /Energy Economics and Policy,
Reconstruction and Development of a 3D Printer Using FDM Technology
No full textAbstractThis study, we detail the constructional selection of a machine, which operates with FDM technology. We outline the milestones of the reconstruction of the printer, the restoration of the technical documentations (Reverse Engineering), and then the calibrations and the measurement results. Based on what we have learned from the construction, we started to design our own FDM printer, which is a compact, user demand-driven device
Knowledge cluster formation as a science policy: lessons learned
No full textRegional science policy aims at the creation of productive knowledge clusters, which are central places within an epistemic landscape of knowledge production and dissemination, K-clusters are said to have the organisational capability to drive innovations and create new industries. The following paper will look at Malaysia, Indonesia and Vietnam and their path towards a Knowledge-based economy. All governments have used cluster formation as one of their development strategies. Some evidence on the current state of knowledge cluster formation is provided. If the formation of a knowledge cluster has been the government policy, what has been the result? Is there an epistemic landscape of knowledge clusters? Has the main knowledge cluster really materialised? Data collected from websites, directories, government publications and expert interviews have enabled us to construct the epistemic landscape of Peninsular Malaysia and the Mekong Delta of Vietnam. Several knowledge clusters of a high density of knowledge producing institutions and their knowledge workers have been identified and described. An analysis of the knowledge output, measured in terms of scientific publications, patents and trademarks show that knowledge clusters have, indeed, been productive as predicted by cluster theory, though the internal working of clusters require further explanation.Science policy; knowledge and development; knowledge-based economy; knowledge clusters; knowledge corridors; Malaysia; Vietnam
A 3D printer that prints integrated electronics
No full textThe goal of the project is formulated. The process to tackle the project is visualised. The goal of this project is: Building a cost-effective, compact and simple 3D printer that can print electronics for technical integration of prototypes. This thesis is the basement of this project goal, therefore the focus was on developing the extruder that prints conductive material and how this goes together with filament. In the research phase, first research questions are formed to structure the research. The main research question is: What is needed to make a cost-effective extruder printing integrated electronics? Based on this question and on the goal of the project sub questions are made. These sub questions are answered per chapter. From the research it can be concluded that solder paste will be used as conductive material, for having a good conductivity and low price. For the extruding method, it has been chosen to continue with the Archimedes screw and plunger method. These are low cost, simple and compact solutions. There are several thermoplastic filaments possible that might be able to withstand the heat of curing. The shape of the trace has to be found out as this has influence on curing the solder paste. The way of curing solder paste has to be found. The solder paste is cured in the oven. In conceptualization phase the two main things are explored, how to cure the solder paste and how to extrude solder paste. Three big experiments are done to find the right combination of solder paste with the thermoplastic filament and the reflow settings. Next to this, an extrusion method has been chosen. The solder paste has the composition of: Sn42Bi57,6Ag0,4. The melting temperature is 138 [oC]. The chosen thermoplastic material is PLA X3, this filament can withstand the curing temperature. Curing has been done in the oven, heating the oven to 142 [oC] with the sample in the oven. Then leaving the sample at this temperature for ten minutes, when the sample has cooled down by opening the door the electric circuit is ready to be used. The prototype of the extruder head, that has been developed, has two extruders: the thermoplastic extruder and the solder paste extruder. The bracket is designed as such so the thermoplastic extruder can be lifted manually. The printing process is as follows: 1. Design the 3D CAD model 2. How to slice and adjust the g-code 3. Preparing the printer 4. Printing the solder paste in the 3D print 5. Pick and place components 6. Curing the 3D print Making sure to design the prototype according to a set of design guidelines. The most important guidelines are to design the electric circuit in 2D and to 3D print the circuit in the XY plane. To proof the designed concept and settings are working a demonstrator is developed. It is wanted to create a simple prototype that easily proofs the printers capacities. There is chosen to make a flashlight. After some iterations the final design is simple: containing a battery, an LED, a resistor and a switch. The future of the designed proof of concept is shown. The 3D printer can print prototypes with an integrated electric circuit at a low cost. After the developed proof of concept, the project is evaluated on the basis of the design rules and design drivers. The project goal is satisfied. A cost-effective, compact and simple proof of concept for a 3D printer that can print electronics for technical integration of prototypes is designed. A solid base has been created that can easily be broadened and used to develop a product out of it. The most important recommendation is to further research the possibilities to 3D print the solder paste.Integrated Product Desig
