Indirektes-Metall-Lasersintern (IMLS) – Durchgängige Simulationsmethode zur Optimierung der Maßhaltigkeit

Im Werkstoff thermisch induzierte chemische und physikalische Vorgänge bedingen während des Ofenprozesses beim IMLS-Verfahren ein instationäres plastisches Dehnungsverhalten, das die Form- und Maßgenauigkeit von Bauteilen negativ beeinflusst. Lineare oder funktionsbasierte Skalierungsfaktoren reichen bei komplexen Geometrieelementen nicht aus, um eine hohe Maßgenauigkeit aufgrund des transienten Verzugsverhaltens zu realisieren. Aus diesem Grund wird eine durchgängige Lösung auf Basis der Finite-Elemente-Methode (FEM) zur Berechnung des Strukturverhaltens vorgestellt. Die entwickelte numerische Prozesskette basiert auf der Ermittlung von Dilatometermessungen, die in reaktionskinetische Materialmodelle integriert und anschließend mit der Simulation gekoppelt werden. Dadurch kann das Verzugsverhalten in den Phasen Festphasensintern, Infiltration und Flüssigphasensintern während des Ofenprozesses mit hinreichender Genauigkeit berechnet werden.

NLG Museum Connecting to Collections, Statewide Planning Grant, Developing a Statewide Disaster Preparedness and Response Plan for Iowa, Final report.

The Iowa Conservation and Preservation Consortium, Iowa Museum Association, the State Historical Society of Iowa and the State Library requested the IMLS CTC grant funds so we could develop a statewide plan to help the stewards of cultural property plan for protection and disaster recovery of collections. We are very pleased with the results of our grant activities. Thanks to the IMLS CTC grant over 200 Iowa collection care takers have received basic training in disaster preparedness and response, 24 care takers have signed up to become cultural collection first responders, a dozen disaster planning/response trainers are available upon request, and over 40 institutions have ReAct Paks. We have created a variety of training tools ranging from basic awareness to in-depth training, established a website of disaster resources, and geo-referenced hundreds of cultural collection sites around Iowa. In addition, the IMLS grant was just the motivator we needed to participate in other national/international efforts which in turn strengthened our IMLS grant project.

Vom Metallpulver zum Gesenk Bauteil

Zur schnellen Herstellung von Metallteilen eignen sich die schichtweise Rapid Prototyping Verfahren. Zum einen ist die direkte Herstellung aus Zweikomponenten-Metallpulver möglich, zum anderen lassen sich aus Kunststoffüberzogenen Metallpulvern durch Infiltration komplexe Metallteile fertigen. Der Vortrag beschreibt die Prozessketten der beiden Verfahren und stellt ihre besonderen Eigenschaften gegenüber. Anhand von Praxisbeispielen wird die tatsächliche Leistungsfähigkeit beider Verfahren aufgeführt. Es werden die beiden Verfahren “Direct Metal Laser Sintering“ (DMLS) und “Indirect Metal Laser Sintering“ (IMLS) zur Herstellung von Gesenken und Bauteilen vorgestellt. Das “Direct Metal Laser Sintering“ wird in Zusammenarbeit mit der Fa. Daimler-Chrysler vorgestellt, die mit ihrer EOS Sinteranlage ein Benchmarkwerkzeug mit konturnaher Kühlung gefertigt haben. Das “Indirect Metal Laser Sintering“ wird an der Universität Duisburg-Essen angewandt. Hier wurden diverse Bauteile bzw. Gesenke in Zusammenarbeit mit der Fa. Powercut oder dem ZBT hergestellt.

Building a Globally Distributed Historical Sheet Map Set

This paper describes the procedures used to create a distributed collection of topographic maps of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Spezialkarte der Öesterriechisch-ungarnischen Monarchie, Masse. 1:75,000 der natur. This set of maps was published in Vienna over a period of years from 1877 to 1914. The part of the set used in this project includes 776 sheets; all sheets from all editions number over 3,665. The paper contains detailed information on how the maps were converted to digital images, how metadata were prepared, and how Web-browser access was created using ArcIMS Metadata Server. The project, funded by a 2004 National Leadership Grant from the Institute for Museums and Library Science (IMLS), was a joint project of the Homer Babbidge Library Map and Geographic Information Center at the University of Connecticut, the New York Public Library, and the American Geographical Society’s Map Library at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee.

Educating a New Cadre of Experts Specializing in Digital Collections and Digital Curation: Experiential Learning in Digital Library Curriculum

Integration of experiential learning into the library and information science (LIS) courses has been a theme in LIS education, but the topic deserves renewed attention with an increasing demand for professionals in the digital library field and in light of the new initiative announced by the Library of Congress (LC) and the Institution of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) for national residency program in digital curation. The balance between theory and practice in digital library curricula, the challenges of incorporating practical projects into LIS coursework, and the current practice of teaching with hands on activities represent the primary areas of this panel discussion.

Collaborative Change: A Survey of Collaborations in Museums to Address Social Issues

El papel de los museos en la sociedad actual: discurso institucional o museo participativo

Desde hace ya varias décadas se ha extendido un lema convertido en habitual año tras año: que los museos necesitan cambios y que, éstos, deben seguir produciéndose en el futuro para que estas instituciones sigan siendo significativas en la sociedad, es decir, para los ciudadanos a quienes representan y sirven. La cuestión de cómo afrontan los cambios es lo que verdaderamente ha dado lugar a reflexiones interesantes en el campo de la museología. No existe un enfoque único para una cuestión tan compleja, ya que está compuesta de múltiples capas que, en muchas ocasiones, son difícilmente acoplables. Sin embargo, en términos generales, podemos apuntar que va a ser en la exposición donde los nuevos planteamientos tendrán su desarrollo.

Collection-Level Subject Access in Aggregations of Digital Collections: Metadata Application and Use

Problems in subject access to information organization systems have been under investigation for a long time. Focusing on item-level information discovery and access, researchers have identified a range of subject access problems, including quality and application of metadata, as well as the complexity of user knowledge required for successful subject exploration. While aggregations of digital collections built in the United States and abroad generate collection-level metadata of various levels of granularity and richness, no research has yet focused on the role of collection-level metadata in user interaction with these aggregations. This dissertation research sought to bridge this gap by answering the question “How does collection-level metadata mediate scholarly subject access to aggregated digital collections?” This goal was achieved using three research methods: • in-depth comparative content analysis of collection-level metadata in three large-scale aggregations of cultural heritage digital collections: Opening History, American Memory, and The European Library • transaction log analysis of user interactions, with Opening History, and • interview and observation data on academic historians interacting with two aggregations: Opening History and American Memory. It was found that subject-based resource discovery is significantly influenced by collection-level metadata richness. The richness includes such components as: 1) describing collection’s subject matter with mutually-complementary values in different metadata fields, and 2) a variety of collection properties/characteristics encoded in the free-text Description field, including types and genres of objects in a digital collection, as well as topical, geographic and temporal coverage are the most consistently represented collection characteristics in free-text Description fields. Analysis of user interactions with aggregations of digital collections yields a number of interesting findings. Item-level user interactions were found to occur more often than collection-level interactions. Collection browse is initiated more often than search, while subject browse (topical and geographic) is used most often. Majority of collection search queries fall within FRBR Group 3 categories: object, concept, and place. Significantly more object, concept, and corporate body searches and less individual person, event and class of persons searches were observed in collection searches than in item searches. While collection search is most often satisfied by Description and/or Subjects collection metadata fields, it would not retrieve a significant proportion of collection records without controlled-vocabulary subject metadata (Temporal Coverage, Geographic Coverage, Subjects, and Objects), and free-text metadata (the Description field). Observation data shows that collection metadata records in Opening History and American Memory aggregations are often viewed. Transaction log data show a high level of engagement with collection metadata records in Opening History, with the total page views for collections more than 4 times greater than item page views. Scholars observed viewing collection records valued descriptive information on provenance, collection size, types of objects, subjects, geographic coverage, and temporal coverage information. They also considered the structured display of collection metadata in Opening History more useful than the alternative approach taken by other aggregations, such as American Memory, which displays only the free-text Description field to the end-user. The results extend the understanding of the value of collection-level subject metadata, particularly free-text metadata, for the scholarly users of aggregations of digital collections. The analysis of the collection metadata created by three large-scale aggregations provides a better understanding of collection-level metadata application patterns and suggests best practices. This dissertation is also the first empirical research contribution to test the FRBR model as a conceptual and analytic framework for studying collection-level subject access.
