Full textAbstract:
In this study we attempt to understand some of the aesthetical features implemented by Arrigo Boito (1842-1918) for the dramaturgic formation of the final act of the opera Mefistofele. Doing that, we will focus on the bifocal character of Helen, both as flash-and-blood woman and as the divine Queen of Troy. Disregarding the controversial criticism of the value of the music, the analysis below reveals deep concern for the dramatic coherence practiced by musical associations and cultural signals. It shows that the composer has sincerely made an effort to characterize both facets of Helen-i.e. femininity and Royalty in the manner of collision of contrasts- Coincidentia Oppositorum. That special polar aesthetic approach constitutes a convincing musico-dramatic whole made out of extremes.

Full textAbstract:
Taking its departure from the generally-accepted opinion that (almost) all important movements and gestures of the actors in Greek tragedy are indicated in the text itself, this essay asks how the generic, and aesthetic, character of tragedy is affected by the verbal communication of so much visual detail. Do the passages that refer to movement advance the dialogue— that is, the dramatic action? If many of them seem to convey much the same information as the movement itself, this raises a question about just how dramatic Greek tragedy is. Undertaking a detailed, albeit not exhaustive, survey of utterances indicating actors' movements, the study shows that a majority of such utterances are followed by a specific response, either verbal or visual, and a number of others may be said to contribute otherwise to the progress of the dialogue. A relatively small but not insignificant number, however, clearly are external to the mimesis of communication among the dramatis personae . The final section of the essay argues that verbal indications of movement have an aesthetic value that is independent of the mimesis of actor/actor dialogue. For a number of utterances take notice of movements which—either because they are ancillary to what is said or because they are 'entailed' movements—do not of themselves contribute to the dramatic action.

Terang Bulan dance is one of the regional creations which is traditionally used by the Karo people in North Sumatra Province. The title of the dance follows the title of the song used as a dance accompaniment song. This dance presents a dramatic effect through the form and variety of movements that are in harmony with the accompanying song. The explanation of the aesthetic value contained in this dance is based on the concept and technique of movement or how to perform the movements which are divided into four parts. The whole movement expresses the aesthetic value content that is manifested in caution, calmness, which emphasizes courtesy in every move.

Full textAbstract:
Concentrating on the series “Girls” (2012–2017), “Fleabag” (2016), and “Insecure” (2016–), this article examines the female-centered dramedy as a current genre of U.S.-American television culture with specific investments in gendered value hierarchies. The article explores the format’s dominant narrative and aesthetic practices with specific focus on prestige dramedy’s “cringe” aesthetics. Cringe is increasingly mobilized as a mode of political expression following the format’s privileging of female subjectivities. As such, cringe is tasked with negotiating the tensions between drama and comedy on one hand and intersectional relations of identity politics on the other. Character “complexity,” embedded in ideological themes around identity, modifies the “comedy” in cringe and becomes associated with the more prestigious dramatic mode, this way governing the texts’ appeal to cultural value. The article demonstrates the ways the female-centered cringe dramedy expresses its politicization and “complexity” via disturbing gendered expectations of mediated femininity, and specifically body and sexuality politics.

Full textAbstract:
It is timely within the Anthropocene era, more than ever before, to search for a non-anthropocentric mode of reasoning, and consequently designing. The PhotoSynthetica Consortium, established in 2018 and including London-based ecoLogicStudio, the Urban Morphogenesis Lab (Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London) and the Synthetic Landscape Lab (University of Innsbruck, Austria), has therefore been pursuing architecture as a research-based practice, exploring the interdependence of digital and biological intelligence in design by working directly with non-human living organisms. The research focuses on the diagrammatic capacity of these organisms in the process of growing and becoming part of complex bio-digital architectures. A key remit is training architects’ sensibility at recognising patterns of reasoning across disciplines, materialities and technological regimes, thus expanding the practice’s repertoire of aesthetic qualities. Recent developments in evolutionary psychology demonstrate that the human sense of beauty and pleasure is part of a co-evolutionary system of mind and surrounding environment. In these terms, human senses of beauty and pleasure have evolved as selection mechanisms. Cultivating and enhancing them compensate and integrate the functions of logical thinking to gain a systemic view on the planet Earth and the dramatic changes it is currently undergoing. This article seeks to illustrate, through a series of recent research projects, how a renewed appreciation of beauty in architecture has evolved into an operational tool to design and measure its actual ecological intelligence.

Full textAbstract:
Tacitus' Dialogus de oratoribus (c. 100 c.e.) may be the most perplexing of the extant Roman dialogues, quite possibly, of the entire Greco-Roman tradition. Despite advances in the rhetorical and literary appreciation of ancient dialogues, this text continues to elude understanding. Oddly, the difficulties stem neither from obscurities of subject matter and presentation nor from any anomalism vis-à-vis the norms of the genre. Six compelling speeches lucidly detail the value, history and development of eloquentia (‘skilled speech’) from the perspective of the late first and early second centuries c.e. They provide convincing accounts of rhetoric and its evolution: the social and political efficacy of eloquentia (Marcus Aper's and Curiatius Maternus' prescriptions on how best to assert oneself with and against the powerful, and the famous yet notoriously tumultuous oratory of the Late Republic), evaluative categories for rhetoric, including the competing discourses that prized renown and canonical status (Vipstanus Messalla's praise of the ancients), or external and absolute aesthetic criteria; and lastly, exemplary instances (e.g. past luminaries) or suitable models for imitation (ancient and modern orators and poets). The richness of these diverse emphases, along with the complex and ambiguous reworking of literary forerunners, not to mention the open-endedness at the work's conclusion, all conspire against the expectation of a uniform message.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThis essay examines the process by which Wang Guowei placed Chinese dramatic history into the modern Chinese literary canon. It explores how Wang formed his ideas on literature, drawing on Western aesthetics to explain, through the notions of leisure and play, the impetus for art creation, and on the Chinese notions of the genesis of literature to explain the psychology of literary creation. In order to establish the literary value of Chinese drama, Wang applied these ideas to the first playwrights of the Yuan dynasty, arguing that theirs was a literature created under the right aesthetic and creative circumstances, and that it embodied the value of "naturalness" which he considered a universal standard for good literature. By producing a scholarly critical history of the origins and nature of Chinese drama, Wang placed drama on a par with other literary genres of past dynasties, thus giving it a renewed status and creating at the same time a new discipline of research. Drama had now become an established literary genre.

Full textAbstract:
This essay argues that the modern literary anthology—and specifically its aspiration to delimit both aesthetic merit and historical representativeness—emerged as a response to changes in eighteenth-century botanical collecting, description, and illustration. A dramatic upsurge in botanical metaphors for poetic collections around 1800 was triggered by shifts in the geographies, aims, and representational practices of botany in the previous century. Yoking Linnaean taxonomy and Buffonian vitalism to Hogarth’s line of beauty, late eighteenth-century botanical illustrations imbued plucked, pressed specimens with a new vitality. Erasmus Darwin’s Botanic Garden (1789, 1791) translated the aesthetic reanimations of visual art into a collection of poetic specimens, spurring compilations that promote a vitalist standard of literary value. By rejecting aesthetic reanimation as the figurative ground for poetic collecting, Charlotte Smith and Robert Southey forward an alternative historical model of literary merit, one grounded in the succession and continuity of representative literary types. These competing metrics for selection and valuation underwrite the anthology as we know it today.

Full textAbstract:
Utah junipers (Juniperus osterosperma (forr.)) are the dominant trees in the landscape of the southwestern states (35 million hectares). In Utah, the pinyon-juniper woodland represents 28.6% of the vegetation and are an important part of the aesthetic value of the Utah national parks. Over the past several years, extensive foliar damage has occurred to Utah juniper, yet little foliar damage has been observed in Natural Bridges National Monument, Canyonlands National Park, Arches National Park, Mesa Verde National Park and Colorado National Monument. The characteristic pattern is for the distal foliage to become chlorotic and die. Mortality progresses along twigs until whole branches or even the entire tree dies. The cause for the foliar damage is unknown. The loss of juniper trees in the national parks in southern Utah would have a dramatic ecological impact and would be an aesthetic blight in the parks. The purpose of this investigation is to determine the cause of the die-off of Utah junipers and suggest management options concerning the juniper die-off problem.

Thesis (MDram)--Stellenbosch University, 2013.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Empirical studies have shown that music has a determinable effect on human emotions. In this study, the function of music is analysed in terms of how it functions in the musical and the cabaret as genres. A broad overview regarding the development of these two genres shows how music is incorporated in these two genres through the ages. A further analysis regarding structural elements show how music is used in the musical to develop action and character, whilst also portraying how music supports the sosio-political onset of the cabaret. These functions are practically applied to My Fair Lady (1956) as text for the musical and applied to Die Kortstondige Raklewe van Anastasia W (2010) as text for the cabaret. In these two texts, chosen songs are analysed in terms of how the music functions in these two genres. In conclusion, a summary of how music functions in these two Musical Theatre genres is given by referring to the results discussed in this thesis. In the results are found a better understanding of how music functions in these genres to heighten the aesthetical and dramatic values of a theatre production. Music also heightens the emotional experience of the staged production.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Empiriese studies het bewys dat musiek 'n daadwerklike effek op die mens se emosies het.

'n Breë oorsig van die ontwikkeling van hierdie twee genres toon aan hoe musiek daarin aangewend word. In 'n verdere bespreking van hierdie twee genres word die vorm en funksie van musiek in hierdie twee genres ontleed en aangetoon hoe musiek die handeling en karakterontwikkeling in die musiekblyspel beïnvloed en hoe musiek in die kabaret die sosiopolitiese aard van die kabaret ondersteun. Hierdie funksies is toegepas op My Fair Lady (1956) as musiekblyspel en Die Kortstondige Raklewe van Anastasia W (2010) as kabaret. In hierdie tekste is gekose liedjies ge-analiseer om aan te toon hoe die musiek ten opsigte van hierdie twee genres funksioneer. Ten slotte is daar opsommend uitgelig hoe musiek funksioneer in hierdie twee musiekteater genres met verwysing na die resultate gevind in die bespreking van die tesis. In die resultate word daar 'n beter begrip gekweek van hoe musiek in hierdie genres toegepas word om die estetiese en dramatiese ervaring van hierdie genres te verhoog.

Full textAbstract:
Michel Tremblay often denies that he writes about gayness, despite frequent themes of sexual difference in his plays. In Hosanna , for example, he has suggested that the gay content is a metaphor for Quebec's aspirations to independence. In other plays, such as Les anciennes odeurs and Messe solennelle pour une pleine lune d'ete, he seems to be advancing a "banalizing" conception of gay identity. Despite these interpretations, a number of Anglophone academics have mobilized Tremblay's texts to make arguments about community-based gay identity and have treated Tremblay as a gay writer. This thesis seeks to determine if this appropriation is facilitated by the translation process, as a result of the translators intervening in the texts to enhance their gay content. Ultimately, it seems this is not the case, suggesting that the appropriation of Tremblay's work results more from the gay community reading its own conceptions of gay identity into the texts than from the translation process.

Full textAbstract:
In this essay results are developed on two different levels. First, it is shown in demonstration that a phenomenological analysis on the lines of Roman’s Ingarden’s study of works in literature can be applied to Virtual Reality works, such as professional-simulators and video-games. In particular it can then be pointed out that: i) sound is separable from the scene, but using sound VR becomes enriched; ii) the main role in literature is left for the imagination, while in VR we find richness in concretization.
Second, it is argued in discussion that works in VR can be qualified as works of art. These electronic works may have all the aesthetical qualities (based on the phenomenology of Roman Ingarden) of the works of art in the traditional sense. So, that paper has two objectives: an analysis of VR and the search for the status of VR in art.

Irish, Tracy. "Possible Shakespeares : the educational value of working with Shakespeare through theatre-based practice." Thesis, University of Warwick, 2016. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/96066/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores how embodying Shakespeare’s language through theatre-based practice can connect young people to the plurality of human perspectives, and develop their skills of communication. I review the evolution of Shakespeare’s value in formal education as literary heritage, and the tension that persists between his roles as literary icon and living artist. Peter Brook warns that Shakespeare is particularly in danger of becoming ‘deadly theatre’: admired and respected, but not alive to the moment of its production and reception. A parallel can exist with ‘deadly’ classrooms, where Shakespeare is taught with reverence but students find no relevance in his plays to their own lives. I construct a theoretical framework using key concepts from education and theatre along with findings from linguistics and cognitive science to explore the pedagogical value of Shakespeare as a cultural heritage with which young people can critically and creatively interact. I explore the relationship between language, thought and learning, and how theatre-based practice creates meaning through a dialogic process of collaborative negotiation and close study of the text. This practice acknowledges the role narrative and analogy play in how we learn, and allows young people to be both emotionally engaged in and intellectually critical of how Shakespeare creates situations of human experience. I conclude that the musicality and metaphorical nature of language is critical in how we express, share and shape our sense of the world and suggest that as performance texts Shakespeare’s plays provide a site of continually evolving cultural metaphors. I propose that embodying Shakespeare’s text allows young people to explore the possibilities of sense behind the meaning of words, and to reflect metacognitively on their experiences to build understanding of how language works and what it achieves in a search for the quality of truth.

“Romance of the West Chamber” is a play written as composing a poem. While poets carefully select the images of their poems, the playwright of “Romance of the West Chamber” cautiously picked the events of this play. Moreover, as poets meticulously organize images to form the imagery of their poems, the playwright of this play also arranged the events with prudence in order to develop dramatic plots. The composition of this play is very similar to that of a poem and the study illuminates this concept from four aspects. First, the plot structure of “Romance of the West Chamber” was carefully formed. The play was written based on fold structure, utilizing methods including compression, consolidation, rewriting and addition to meticulously retell the event of “Master Tung’s Western Chamber Romance” so that each fold can have its dramatic effect. Second, the play focuses on the characters’ romantic relationships. To be more specific, the plots emphasize on the unfolding of the characters’ romantic relationships and their feelings rather than the narration of anecdotes and events. Third, the atmosphere of situations in the play was well created. The atmosphere of the play’s exposition as well as each fold’s opening was skillfully established; therefore, the plots are much more compelling and the audience can easily empathize with the characters. The forth aspect is the theatricality of the narration and the way emotions were expressed in the play. “Romance of the West Chamber” is very theatrical. The plots contain not only conflicts, the most basic element of a play, but also interesting and suspense elements. What is more, due to the theatrical plots, the song-set structure of each fold developed different styles, such as contrasting, interactive, lyrical, etc.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter addresses processes of genre formation, exploring the role that concepts of radiogénie played in developing new programming forms and a larger sound-mindedness in period producers and audiences. Beginning with a survey of early radio genres and debates surrounding their sonic appropriateness, the chapter then pursues a more detailed case study of the period’s dominant genre, musical variety. Responding to pressures for programming with unity and distinction while ensuring varied content with broad appeal, producers pursued three key strategies for this genre: (1) inclusion of a program host as central unifying figure, (2) interstitial continuity uniting musical selections around a common theme, and (3) the “continuity program,” with weak dramatic frame stories linking otherwise diverse musical offerings. Fulfilling larger economic imperatives without compromising aesthetic potential, this third format was championed as proof of radio’s capacity to offer unique and valued contributions to an expanding field of modern sound art.

Full textAbstract:
The idea that the moral character of a work may be intimately linked to its artistic value can be traced back to Aristotle, who suggests that moral criteria help pick out tragedies that are good or bad as such. Indeed, when outlining the correct standards in dramatic art, he claims that ‘it is correct to find fault with both illogicality and moral baseness, if there is no necessity for them and if the poet makes no use of the illogicality (as with Euripedes and the case of Aegeus) or the baseness (as with Menelaus's in Orestes)’. One way of taking this claim is to hold that the moral character of a work may affect its artistic value indirectly. This article turns first to an examination of this kind of view.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract In this chapter, we approach the economic value of Digital Earth with a broad definition of economic value, i.e., the measure of benefits from goods or services to an economic agent and the trade-offs the agent makes in view of scarce resources. The concept of Digital Earth has several components: data, models, technology and infrastructure. We focus on Earth Observation (EO) data because this component has been undergoing the most dramatic change since the beginning of this century. We review the available recent studies to assess the value of EO/geospatial/open data and related infrastructures and identify three main sets of approaches focusing on the value of information, the economic approach to the value of EO to the economy from both macro- and microeconomic perspectives, and a third set that aims to maximize value through infrastructure and policy. We conclude that the economic value of Digital Earth critically depends on the perspective: the value for whom, what purpose, and when. This multiplicity is not a bad thing: it acknowledges that Digital Earth is a global concept in which everyone can recognize their viewpoint and collaborate with others to increase the common good.

AbstractThe field of biotechnology has been rigorously researched and applied to many facets of everyday life. Biotechnology is defined as the process of modifying an organism or a biological system for an intended purpose. Biotechnology applications range from agricultural crop selection to pharmaceutical and genetic processes (Bauer and Gaskell 2002). The definition, however, is evolving with recent scientific advancements. Until World War II, biotechnology was primarily siloed in agricultural biology and chemical engineering. The results of this era included disease-resistant crops, pesticides, and other pest-controlling tools (Verma et al. 2011). After WWII, biotechnology began to shift domains when advanced research on human genetics and DNA started. In 1984, the Human Genome Project (HGP) was formerly proposed, which initiated the pursuit to decode the human genome by the private and academic sectors. The legacy of the project gave rise to ancillary advancements in data sharing and open-source software, and solidified the prominence of “big science;” solidifying capital-intensive large-scale private-public research initiatives that were once primarily under the purview of government-funded programs (Hood and Rowen 2013). After the HGP, the biotechnology industry boomed as a result of dramatic cost reduction to DNA sequencing processes. In 2019 the industry was globally estimated to be worth $449.06 billion and is projected to increase in value (Polaris 2020).

The way Mats Ek revives dramatization process in dance can help to explore another path to "choreographic instauration". While acknowledging the aesthetical paradigm of contemporary dance, how could we play again with a dancing dramatization, without falling in the trap of the classical regime of illustration? French philosopher Etienne Souriau is required here to tackle these issues which are at stake in Mats Ek’s Carmen. In his book "L’ombre de Dieu" (1955), loving beings are set up through Nietzsche’s dramatic formula: “If I love you, does it concern you?” Between an always uncertain amorous reciprocity and the wishes we have for it, we have to experience a mediation, which must be shaped beyond the one we love. More than our loved one, it is its capacity to mediate the shadow of love that we must invigorate – while this capacity is always in danger of dying in indifference.

This chapter discusses not only the rivalry between Christians, pagans, and Jews in regard to sacred places and spaces, but also how these were shared. Even though many groups maintained the separateness and uniqueness of their sacred sites, they could easily move into locations held by other groups. Late antique people commuted between spaces or between different interpretations of the same space. Attention is also drawn to the contradictions between the triumphalist declarations made by church leaders about the destruction of cult places in some regions and the archaeological evidence, which reveals a less dramatic picture, such as the continuity of cult practices or the natural abandonment and decay of shrines. Furthermore, emperors issued laws to protect temples from attacks and plundering. They were regarded not only as cult places, but also as civic monuments, and they were valued as aesthetic objects.

This chapter presents a broad reflection about the connections between cultural landscapes, technology, and tourism. Cultural landscapes are lively and historical entities, neither background scenery nor artworks. They are coupled with several instances of value and remain tied to local forms of life. Tourism, conversely, thrives through promoting and advertising the experience of such landscapes, whose aesthetical and cultural heritage promise to enrich and educate tourists. The relationship between landscapes and tourism is nevertheless prone to criticism. The objectification of cultural landscapes proceeds through setting a series of burden free commodities, corresponding to the variety of ways modern man builds his subjectivity essentially as a tourist. Territories are progressively becoming available to tourists through various technologies while the self-image of tourists is being increasingly established by those same technologies. Tourism can nevertheless withstand different kinds of practices allowing landscapes to speak for themselves and engaging tourists to a commitment.

This chapter suggests that all the works discussed in this study—both canonical and minor, composed in verse or in prose—ask profound questions about the nature of the tragic mode and its relation to Christian thought. The nineteenth-century dramatic imagination is deeply political, staging memorable protests against the rhetoric of utilitarianism in political economy, Calvinism in religion, and the unjustifiable sacrifice of the one for the welfare of the many in ethics and anthropology. In contradistinction to the many studies which sideline dramatic writing in the long nineteenth century, this chapter concludes that dramatic form retains its value in this period as a significant vehicle for comment upon far-reaching questions of justice and ethics. Ultimately, theology raised too many important questions to be permanently excluded from the public stage—and the theatre was too valuable a forum to ignore religious experience.

Whilst globalisation has offered a fertile ground for businesses to offer several services from all sides of the compass, it appears that this landscape has attracted new avenues for service provisions and transactions. All these aspects have resulted in dramatic shift in consumers' purchase decision making process. This research presents some insights of customers' perception of quality offered by intermediaries working in networked environments. The principal hypotheses are that, after experiencing services delivered by an intermediary, customers synthesise their perceptions, in terms of the quality perceived. Furthermore, this assessment will determine its image and the perceived value. A quantitative survey was conducted in an airline alliance context, to verify if the hypotheses are acceptable. A structural equation modelling tested using the PLS-SEM method demonstrates the influence of alliance wide perceived quality on airline alliances' image and perceived value.

Full textAbstract:
COVID-19 in 2020 has created a dramatic and instant shift of many K-12 educational institutions to distance learning often without the preparation and training required to be successful. The pedagogy and technology used in teaching are ever changing. The role of teacher/faculty development is to provide instructors with the tools and leadership skills to deal with these changes. Successful integration of technology and on-line in K-12 education must include (1) a connection to student learning, (2) hands-on technology, (3) curriculum-specific application, (4) active participation of teachers, (5) technical support, (6) administrative support, (7) adequate resources, and (8) continuous funding. This chapter looks at the value and utility using micro-teaching as a teacher leadership development approach to help K-12 educators become more effective and comfortable with on-line teaching.

Historically, sports gaming has existed primarily in brick-and-mortar venues such as casinos. This was the case until the internet created the conditions for a dramatic change in the supply of gaming opportunities in live sports. In 2018, a United States Supreme Court ruling legalized sports gaming, which triggered the tabling of similar legislation in Canada. This chapter examines how stakeholders form a network of relationships referred to as the sports gaming nexus. The authors argue that sports gaming presents a paradox – sports gaming will increase revenues and fan engagement for many actors within the sports culture and economy, but will the benefits outweigh potential negative consequences? This question is examined from the active economy, network system perspective. This chapter is informed by current debates in more mature gaming markets such as the United Kingdom and France.

Full textAbstract:
Architects and designers are obligated to think comprehensively to create aesthetically pleasing buildings together with functional features. The modern movement of architecture represents a dramatic movement in the buildings design to create a different functional and new architecture. There is a debate about the priority of beauty (aesthetics) and functionality (ethics) in this architectural style and leads to ambiguity in evaluating ethics and aesthetics. Hence, the study aims to understand the relationship between ethics and aesthetics value in architecture's modern movement. This study hypothesizes that there is a significant relationship between ethical and aesthetical values through the functionality of modern architecture. The study has proposed a conceptual model to be applied in future studies on different case studies. This is through assessment tools to evaluate the presence of ethics and aesthetics in modern architectural style.

Full textAbstract:
Learning objects have long promised dramatic savings of time and money in course and curricula development, but they have failed to deliver the return on investment that seems a natural extension of their existence - reusability. Because a single hour of online instruction can take up to 300 hours to develop (Kapp 2003), reusability is the core value message offered by learning object promoters, from the earliest days to the present. Yet, after 12 years of successive evolution, learning objects are still primarily a collection of stand-alone modules that rarely interconnect outside of strictly controlled regimes, such as those imposed by corporate and military training guidelines. Among the contributing factors to this impediment are definition of learning object, size of a learning object and aesthetics of a learning object. In response to this shortcoming, we propose to introduce a new entity - the learning pod. Engineered for reusability, the learning pod incorporates several modules that bring current technology to create an experientially seamless interconnection between disparate learning objects. These modules communicate with one another to build a consistent unit of instruction that uses several learning objects depending on the requirements. Several technologies including semantic web, XSL/XML and CSS are utilized to achieve presentation cohesiveness.

<p>While the definition of “Sustainability” is a rather determined concept for many engineering disciplines, the way we have, as civil engineers, to effectively incorporate sustainability issues into Structural Design is still a fuzzy issue, even if many green rating systems cradle-to-grave are proposed in literature. Sustainability deals with the evaluation of uncertainties and with optimization procedures helping the Engineer to address the choice among a set of possible design alternatives.</p><p>Conceptual design represents a fundamental aspect in all design phases ranging, in its widest meaning, from the first ideas till the definition of the details and involving even aspects related to the life-cycle of the structure, as for instance, the long-term maintenance strategies.</p><p>In an age where digital tools are giving the Designers the possibility of expressing themselves shaping structures whose fundamentals can be completely separated from the principles of Structural Engineering, with the consequent dramatic increase of the uncertainties related to the long-term response of the structure. The lesson learnt from the Masters of Structural Engineering of last Century, with their utmost attention in the definition of the most suitable shape able to fit the structural requirements under given boundary conditions, seems to acquire the greatest importance within a sustainable process where the limitation of uncertainties appears to meaningfully contribute to the reliable quantification of the life cycle costs and resource consumption.</p><p>If we can share the statement, which is probably irrefutable, that the overall development ratio of the increasing world population and the increasing search for wealth is presently incompatible with the available resources, the contribution of Structural Engineering in limiting the uncertainties related to the life-cycle demand of structures and infrastructures can be meaningful.</p><p>There is a “Ruled Freedom” in achieving a piece of Structural Art through a sustainable design that must consider usual issues like safety and serviceability as well as other key features which are sometimes not taken in due consideration such as structural efficiency, aesthetics, adaptability, durability, life-cycle costs and minimal maintenance, risk reduction and value protection.

As well known, Kyoto has been the capital city of Japan for one thousand years. The long ancient culture brings out a serious of traditional craft products, such as ‘Kana-ami’ — a kind of metal wire network. ‘Kana-ami’ was all made by hand work, for this reason there was no industrial pollution produced during the manufacturing process. In other words, ‘Kana-ami’ is a kind of green manufacturing product, and its processing motion and working experience make a big effect on final products’ quality. Product’s quality was judged by the standard structure of ‘Kana-ami’, which was established after a long period of history and culture accumulation. That aesthetical standard has already been consistently rooted into Japanese peoples’ heart deeply. Dated back to around 50 years, there were about 30 handmade wire net shops in Kyoto. However, it has decreased dramatic until 7 shops now. Therefore, it is urgent time to pay attention to this severe reality and try to do something to keep this traditional culture wealth and continue green manufacturing technique and skill to the next generation. In this study, the expert and non-expert were employed as the target investigated subject from ‘Kanaami Tsuji’ workshop. Investigated subjects were required to fabricate a Kana-ami product, which was investigated by 3D motion capture during product’s fabrication. The structural features of final products by expert and non-expert were illustrated and compared by the numerical analysis. The moment of scoop tofu was recorded by high-speed camera in order to clarify the small differences on product performance. In a word, the great effort is to reduce the final products impact to the surface of tofu.

Full textAbstract:
The flow of people, resources, material and immaterial goods, and at the same time regimes and strategies of control, have always shaped/reshaped our geographies and processes of urbanization. Therefore built and unbuilt landscapes have been characterized by gradual or dramatic changes, leading to new architectural typologies and urban morphologies corresponding to the transformation of means of production, distribution, circulation, consumption and to the shift of political, economic and ideological realms. The effects of these processes on structure and quality of space and life could be described as part of a complex Urban Metabolism¹ which looks at the city and its territory as a complex organism. This dynamic landscape has reached a high level of complexity where natural environments (geology, hydrology, topography) and cultural environments (productive lands, urban settlements, infrastructural networks) need to be synergistically understood as part of an articulated ecological system, with both micro and macro implications. It is the synthesis of geographic-historical contents (collective values), aesthetic-perceptual contents (individual values), and ecological-natural contents (biological values)², influenced more and more by natural and man-made disasters caused by climate change and human conflicts. Since the city as a definable entity and product of predetermined models has become obsolete, we are now called to work with a collage of fragments, heterogeneous and dynamic, often in opposition and unpredictable, subjected to the balance of variable forces, with their own order and rules, and their own ways of evolving, which we have to understand and manage³. This determines the need for new tools and methods to observe, record and assess urban phenomena, and the data regarding them, towards more sensitive interventions.

As well known, ‘Kana-ami’ product made by Mr.Tsuji have already been widely accepted and preferred among Japanese people, even his son’s finish also has beautiful looking. Therefore, the main target of this study was to clarify the difference in shape and hexagon structure of ‘Kana-ami’ products made by Mr.Tsuji and his son through mathematical measurement. Based on this structure evaluation system, hexagon angles and length were discussed and analyzed in order to help his son and other beginners to inherit this Japanese traditional craft technology.

Full textAbstract:
This study investigates surface changes during scuffing in a dry condition. In the test a ball-on-disc apparatus was used, in which a rotating sapphire disc was loaded to a stationary steel ball. The contact area was directly observed and recorded by a digital camera attached to a microscope during the test. The variations in frictional force were synchronously measured with the capturing of images of the camera. After the test, the hardness of the scuffed steel ball were measured at different points in the contact area. The direct observation of the contact area shows that areas of macro plastic flow appeared from the trailing side of the contact area with a dramatic increase in frictional force. The macro plastic flow areas were changed, resulting in a dramatic expansion of the contact area. During the dramatic expansion, the friction coefficient kept a high constant value of about 0.4. The hardness distributions of the scuffed steel ball showed that the hardness was smaller at the tailing side of the contact area, in which macro plastic flows started, than that at the leading side. On the other hand the temperature rise calculated by a simple temperature estimation model was insufficient to cause the hardness reduction.

Full textAbstract:
Distributed Combustion offers significant potential for improved performance and near zero emissions for gas turbine and other industrial applications. Our quest for zero emission distributed combustion is further explored here by utilizing swirl to the flow. The beneficial aspects of distributed swirl combustion are examined with special focus on near zero emissions of NO and CO, and significantly improved pattern factor of the combustor using low calorific value fuel. Methane gas diluted with inert gas is used to simulate the low heating value fuel. A cylindrical geometry is used for combustor with air injected tangentially to impart swirl to the flow. The combustion behavior is evaluated using normal and preheated air at inlet to the combustor. Experimental results from the distributed combustor design using methane fuel showed low levels of NO (<8PPM) and low CO (∼21PPM) under non premixed conditions at an equivalence ratio of 0.7 and high heat release intensity of 36MW/m3-atm. With preheated air to the combustor, results showed overall NO levels of <15PPM and CO ∼12 PPM for non premixed combustion at an equivalence ratio of 0.6 under high heat release intensity of 27MW/m3-atm. Low heating value gas resulted in a dramatic decrease in NO emissions (30–50%) with minimal effect on CO for all the conditions examined here. Results obtained with different calorific value fuels on the emissions of NO and CO, lean stability limit and OH* chemiluminescence are presented.

Abstract Motorcycle riders’ road experience, attitude and position have a large impact on safety. Besides these aspects, a motorcycle designer has to consider the aesthetical emotional value of such artefacts. This paper contributes a novel framework architecture supports designers to develop a rider-centred, safer motorcycle design, while at the same time considering human factors and the emotional values of such artefacts. This paper explores the requirements for this framework through a validated mixed method approach, gaining input from interviewed designers, stakeholders as well as surveyed riders. The proposed framework takes a user-centred approach, placing designers and riders at the framework’s core. Riders are an essential aspect as they assist in generating the knowledge which is critical to the operation of the framework. The framework acts as a support to the motorcycle designer, where it couples the intellectual resources of the designer with the knowledge capabilities of the framework to proactively support motorcycle design decision making. The proposed framework is driven by a harmonisation engine, where the aesthetic, ergonomic, persona and market trend domains are harmonised to achieve a balanced motorcycle design solution. The framework architecture will be employed to implement an intelligent computer-based motorcycle design support tool, in future work.
