Retouching of school photos is going beyond simply removing glare from students' glasses to include teeth whitening, removing freckles, and other adjustments to students' appearance. Todd Pittinsky argues that schools should not include these kinds of services as part of their photography options because they send a message to students that their…

Previous work has demonstrated similarities and differences between aerial and terrestrial image viewing. Aerial scene categorization, a pivotal visual processing task for gathering geoinformation, heavily depends on rotation-invariant information. Aerial image-centered research has revealed effects of low-level features on performance of various…

This literature review examines the use of photography in educational research and in education, to learn how photography could be better used in teaching and learning mathematics and mathematics education research. The authors analyzed 125 publications published between 1975 and 2023 to identify different research methods and teaching solutions…

The camera obscura is a well-known optical device in the form of a closed box with a hole in one of its walls through which light rays pass, forming an inverted image of the external objects on the opposite wall, as can be seen in Fig. 1(a). Despite the simplicity of its basic design, they have been widely used by scientists and artists. In…

The Holocaust was one of the most photographed genocides of the twentieth century.

Broadly, this article details the imbrication of a Black feminist qualitative researcher's onto-epistemology and data (meta-) analysis process. I theorize "Black feminist memory work," then apply this method by returning to data I collected for a completed research project and meshing those data with a curated selection of thematically…

The semiconductor industry offers ample employment opportunities for chemical engineers. The CHIPS Act prioritizes workforce training as a key contributor to the success and growth of semiconductor manufacturing. UF ChE teaches semiconductor processing lab modules to both undergraduate and graduate students. At the graduate level UF ChE offers…

There are two aspects to photography: one is the eye that sees and composes the photo, and the other is the technical part of the camera. Due to the advanced technology in today's cameras, it's possible to take fantastic pictures without ever knowing anything about technical photographic concepts like depth of field or shutter speed. What you do…
