Although it was once thought that a major distinction between paraffin and polyethylene lozenge crystals was the sectorization of the latter due to polarization of chain fold surfaces, a recent study has shown that n-paraffins longer than C44H90, but with unfolded chains, also crystallize as sectorized lozenges (Fig. 1) with bright field fringes running along <130> compared to the <130> direction in polyethylene. High resolution electron microscopy and microdiffraction of corrugated polyethylene lozenges, furthermore, have shown that, for the infinite chain folded polymer, these fringes correspond to local oblique chain packings. Although shadowing with C-Pt indicates that the sectorized paraffin lozenges are not corrugated like polyethylene, it was thought that chain obliquity, nevertheless, should also be the cause of the Bragg fringe contrast in Fig. 1.An attempt was made to visualize the detail directly using the SULEIKA cryomicroscope at the Fritz Haber Institute in Berlin, given our previous success in obtaining 2.5Å resolution images of the C44H90 chain packing.

Full textAbstract:
Fringe O-fucose-β1,3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferases modulate Notch signaling by potentiating signaling induced by Delta-like ligands, while inhibiting signaling induced by Serrate/Jagged1 ligands. Based on binding studies, the differential effects of Drosophila fringe (DFng) on Notch signaling are thought to result from alterations in Notch glycosylation that enhance binding of Delta to Notch but reduce Serrate binding. Here, we report that expression of mammalian fringe proteins (Lunatic [LFng], Manic [MFng], or Radical [RFng] Fringe) increased Delta1 binding and activation of Notch1 signaling in 293T and NIH 3T3 cells. Although Jagged1-induced signaling was suppressed by LFng and MFng, RFng enhanced signaling induced by either Delta1 or Jagged1, underscoring the diversity of mammalian fringe glycosyltransferases in regulating signaling downstream of different ligand-receptor combinations. Interestingly, suppression of Jagged1-induced Notch1 signaling did not correlate with changes in Jagged1 binding as found for Delta1. Our data support the idea that fringe glycosylation increases Delta1 binding to potentiate signaling, but we propose that although fringe glycosylation does not reduce Jagged1 binding to Notch1, the resultant ligand–receptor interactions do not effectively promote Notch1 proteolysis required for activation of downstream signaling events.

Full textAbstract:
The unstable balance in secretions of lipids and aqueous fluid to tear film is a significant cause of dry eye disease (DED). Arita et al. demonstrated a simple but very effective method that classifies dry eye types to the aqueous deficient dry eye (ADDE) and the evaporative dry eye (EDE) by focusing on the dry eye type-unique appearances of interference fringe colors and patterns of tear films. We thought this simple classification is very helpful for diagnoses and treatments. However, diagnostic bias by unskilled observers remains an issue to be solved.
The artificial intelligence (AI)-based support for diagnosis is one of the hottest topics in the field of ophthalmology research. We expected that the AI-based model would reduce bias in DED-type diagnoses. Many studies have been reported targeting retinal diseases like age-related macular degeneration and/or diabetic retinopathy. Most of the works established AI-based predicting models using images taken by fundus cameras and/or optical coherence tomography (OCT) devices to capture disease-related structural disorders. In contrast, the interference fringes dynamically change the colors and patterns spatiotemporally. To the best of our knowledge, there is no AI-based model studied for distinguishing ADDE and EDE using interference fringe images. However, an AI-based study classifying the condition of the tear lipid layer by analyzing the textures of interference fringes compared to the device-unique grades has been reported. This suggested the possibility of using the unstructured characteristics, such as colors and/or complexities of interference fringes, as the numerical image features when building AI-based prediction models. In this study, we first examined several types of image characteristics extracted from the colors and patterns of fringes to obtain effective image features for the DED-type classification. We then evaluated whether the AI-based models would have sufficient abilities for this type of prediction by comparing their diagnoses with those made by an ophthalmologist skilled in this classification (the founder of this type classification).

Full textAbstract:
AbstractTurkey has been absent from the growing literature on the phenomenon of transnational Salafism. A tendency among Middle East specialists to focus on Arab regions and in Turkey on the Islamist movement and its long struggle with the Kemalist establishment has perpetuated the notion of Turkey as a category apart. This article argues that, on the contrary, Salafism is a fringe strand of Turkish Islam that began to evolve in the context of the state's effort in the 1980s to recalibrate religion as a complement to nationalism. Salafism became a topic of discussion in media and scholarly writing in Turkish religious studies faculties, while self-styled Salafi preachers trained in Saudi Arabia found a niche through publishing houses. These publishers facilitated the translation into Turkish of Arabic texts by important Saudi religious scholars in an effort to change the discursive landscape of Islam in Turkey. I show that contra assumptions of a rich Sufi tradition acting as a block against modern Salafi ideas, Salafism managed to gain a foothold in Turkey, facilitated in part by the republic's experience of secular materialism.

Full textAbstract:
Dorsoventral axis formation in the Drosophila wing depends on the activity of the selector gene apterous. Although selector genes are usually thought of as binary developmental switches, we find that Apterous activity is negatively regulated during wing development by its target gene dLMO. Apterous-dependent expression of Serrate and fringe in dorsal cells leads to the restricted activation of Notch along the dorsoventral compartment boundary. We present evidence that the ability of cells to participate in this Apterous-dependent cell-interaction is under spatial and temporal control. Apterous-dependent expression of dLMO causes downregulation of Serrate and fringe and allows expression of delta in dorsal cells. This limits the time window during which dorsoventral cell interactions can lead to localized activation of Notch and induction of the dorsoventral organizer. Overactivation of Apterous in the absence of dLMO leads to overexpression of Serrate, reduced expression of delta and concomitant defects in differentiation and cell survival in the wing primordium. Thus, downregulation of Apterous activity is needed to allow normal wing development.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract: It is commonly thought that the horrific medical abuses occurring during the era of the Third Reich were limited to fringe physicians acting in extreme locales such as the concentration camps. However, it is becoming increasingly apparent that there was a widespread perversion of medical practice and science that extended to mainstream academic physicians. Scientific thought, specifically the theories of racial hygiene, and the political conditions of a totalitarian dictatorship, acted symbiotically to devalue the intrinsic worth to society of those individuals with mental and physical disabilities. This devaluation served to foster the medical abuses which occurred. Neurosciences in the Third Reich serves as a backdrop to highlight what was the slippery slope of medical practice during that era. Points on this slippery slope included the “dejudification” of medicine, unethical experimentation in university clinics, systematic attempts to sterilize and euthanasize targeted populations, the academic use of specimens obtained through such programs and the experimental atrocities within the camps.

Khafaga, Tamer, Greg Simkins, and David Gallacher. "Proximity to urban fringe recreational facilities increases native biodiversity in an arid rangeland." Rangeland Journal 40, no. 6 (2018): 555. http://dx.doi.org/10.1071/rj17041.
Full textAbstract:
Urban developments affect neighbouring ecosystems in multiple ways, usually decreasing native biodiversity. Arabian arid rangeland was studied to identify the primary causes of biodiversity variation. Al Marmoum is a 990km2 area on the urban edge of Dubai, designated for ecological ‘enhancement’ and outdoor recreational use. The area lacks historical biodiversity data, but is thought to be primarily influenced by Arabian camel (Camelus dromedarius Linnaeus, 1758) herbivory. Perennial floral and faunal diversity was assessed at 54 sites. Counts of reintroduced ungulates (Arabian oryx Oryx leucoryx (Pallas, 1777), Arabian gazelle Gazella gazella cora (C.H. Smith, 1827) and sand gazelle G.subgutturosa marica (Thomas, 1897)) were made at 79 separate sites. Correlations of observed biodiversity with substrate type, anthropogenic structures, and ungulate distribution were assessed. Native biodiversity was substantially higher in north-north-west locations near recreational facilities, with the most likely cause being differential browsing pressure. Camel browsing faced greater communal regulation in the north-north-west, whereas oryx and gazelles congregated at feed points in the south-south-east that were farther from human activity. Arid rangeland in this socioecological landscape exhibits greater natural biodiversity at the urban fringe. Human activity reduces ungulate density, enabling a greater diversity of perennial flora, which then attracts non-ungulate fauna. Anthropogenic features can therefore offer conservation value in landscapes where ungulate populations are artificially elevated.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is an investigation of what some have deemed ‘traditionalist’ or ‘legitimist’ republicanism as it existed in the Ireland of the 1960s. It specifically uses the policy document Eire Nua as the prime expression of this worldview with the emerging Provisional republican movement. The place of £ire Nua and the figures that supported it are discussed in the literature review which demonstrates the gap in the historiography around what might be deemed these ‘losers’ in eventual power struggles within the Provisionals. It also contains the discussion of the methodology pursued in this investigation. The second chapter concerns itself with fzire Nua itself, providing a close reading of all of the policies enumerated in the document as well as the publishing history and context of the document. The third chapter covers the life and works of Desmond Fennell who had a strong influence in the policies of Eire Nua and its promotion. More widely Fennell provided the strongest public voice for the mentality that inspired the document. The fourth chapter covers some voices from the Gaeltacht in the 1960s that reflexively informed and were informed by the republican sensibilities of the ‘traditionalist’ set. These include Father James McDyer who alongside republican activists attempted to set up a series of cooperative enterprises in Donegal and the poet Mairtin 0 Direain from the Aran Islands who wrote of the disintegration of what he saw as Irish society from his position as a civil servant in Dublin. The final chapter deals with the history and biographical details of Ruairf 0 Bradaigh, Daithi O’Connell, and Sean Mac Stiofain as it relates to the emergence and eventual discarding of their brand of republicanism as the standard bearer within the Provisional movement. This brief alliance between the rural, Gaelic, utopian vision of Irishness and the ongoing conflict in the north was a short moment in time advantageous for both groups. This thesis explores the understudied notion of republicanism and Irishness from those who would be pushed out by those that would take over the Provisionals.

Stobbe, Tracy. "The economics and externalities of agricultural land in the urban fringe." Thesis, 2008. http://hdl.handle.net/1828/1055.
Full textAbstract:
The preservation of agricultural land, especially that which lies close to cities (in the so-called urban fringe), is a concern in many jurisdictions around the world. Agricultural land values change dramatically as farmland is located nearer to urban areas and development pressure has increased on these lands as urban populations have expanded. In British Columbia, Canada, a provincial-wide zoning system forbids the development or non-agricultural use of land without special permission. This system is explicitly designed to protect the capability of the land to produce food in the future, but it also implicitly protects the positive spillovers from agricultural land such as environmental services and open space. Three empirical papers comprise the original research in this dissertation. They seek to answer related questions about agricultural land values in the urban fringe. First, a statistical investigation is conducted into the factors that are associated with successful applications for exclusion from the agricultural zoning system. This study finds that a measure of distance (metres from the main highway) is highly significantly correlated with a parcel’s chances of being excluded. Next, a paper examines the trend of hobby farmers springing up in the urban fringe. Two different models seek to illuminate common trends in the types of parcels that hobby farmers choose, and the price that hobby farmers pay for the land, respectively. This study finds that hobby farmers seem to be very selective about the parcels they choose, likely trying to take advantage of favourable taxation rates for agricultural producers in place in the province. Lastly, a study seeks to understand how residential parcels’ values are influenced by the nearness to and view of agricultural land. Agricultural land in the study does not appear to exhibit an open space premium, though this could be influenced by uncertainty about the future use of the land. All the empirical work in this dissertation utilizes geographic information systems (GIS) technology that allows the calculation of distances to features of interest. Hedonic pricing models and binary choice models are the main statistical tools used.

Full textAbstract:
Peri-urban landscapes are some of the world’s most vulnerable areas. Although they are often thought of simply as land awaiting development, these landscapes retain important natural resources and make valuable contributions to agriculture, water use, biodiversity conservation, landscape preservation and human well-being. Billions of people use them and enjoy their natural values. Their continuing loss threatens to alter our relationships with nature and have a negative impact on the environment.
The Future of the Fringe first explores the history of peri-urban areas, international peri-urban policy and practice, and related concepts. It analyses internationally relevant issues such as green belts and urban growth boundaries, regional policy, land supply and price, and the concepts of liveability, attractiveness, well-being and rural amenity. It then examines a range of Australian peri-urban issues, as an extended case study. The book argues for a precautionary approach so that we retain the greatest number of options to adapt during rapid and unprecedented change.

Full textAbstract:
Symbolism is maybe one of the most obscure books of Whitehead's oeuvre: in between grand projects, small in appearance, seemingly integrated in other works, less known, and, to a certain extent, considered superfluous. Yet, on second thought, it might be that in its fringe existence Symbolism holds some gems to be rediscovered and cherished. Relating in maybe the most immediate way to current questions of language, ecology, and political philosophy by, at the same time, elaborating a highly creative conceptual multiplicity of modes of perception, Symbolism exposes us to a series of strange attractors which, while not absent from other works, might be found to be more densely interwoven here than elsewhere. The following considerations will name and relate some of these strange attractors to the issues the book seems to be addressing while speaking to us today, about a hundred years after its writing.

Full textAbstract:
Cunning-folk found what was lost, healed the sick, foretold the future, influenced love, and, perhaps most importantly, battled witches in a time when churches had lost interest in them. When Joseph Smith established Mormonism, American villages lacked cunning-folk, though aspects of their traditions remained on the fringes of society. Smith and other early church leaders translated aspects of this culture into the LDS Church’s liturgy and cosmology. However, he and other church leaders also created alternatives to cunning-folk practice that were more explicitly rooted in the patterns of the Bible. Key to this process of translation and creation was Mormonism’s explicit anticessationism and the establishment of institutional structures that integrated folk practitioners into the church by channeling their impulses into orthopraxic liturgical forms. This context is useful for explaining modern uses of CAM among Mormons and to further contextualize the rise of the priesthood bureaucracy that regulates Mormon lived religion.

Full textAbstract:
Disruption is about radical change—why it happens and how. Drawing on case studies ranging from the fourth century AD through the twentieth century, we look at how long-established systems of government and thought are challenged, how new institutions are created, and new ideas become powerful. While paying attention to the underlying political, intellectual, economic, and environmental sources of social disruption, we will see that no matter what similarities there might be between forces that shake different societies, these underlying factors do not dictate specific outcomes. The human actors are ultimately the most important; their decisions drive the conclusions that we see over time. Through our case studies, we can explore successful and unsuccessful decision making, and the emergence of the ideas that conditioned human actions. We’ll explore the development of Islam and of Christian doctrine, of constitutional thought, of socialism, and social Darwinism. We’ll look at how these ideas, all of them emerging on the fringes of society, became central. We’ll also have our eyes set on whether the sorts of disruptive forces we’ve seen in the past are present at this time. We’ll look at the issues confronting the liberal democracies that have been the dominant political/economic forces on our planet in the last half century and see how they have come under stress in the last few decades. And we will look at the possibility that we’re facing a new period of disruption and at what we can learn from the past about how change can be constructive rather than destructive.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractContemporary media and public accounts have increasingly framed the refugee ‘crisis’ in terms of security, with refugees considered as masses to be managed and controlled, migrants pointed at with generic allegation of terrorist threat, and state borders closed and militarized. Securitization of migration may not be a new phenomenon (Saunders 2014) but it is one that has recently received a great deal of attention (see among others Bigo 2002; Pugh 2004; Huysmans and Squire 2009; Huysmans 2000; Musarò 2017; Vaughan-Williams 2015; Watson 2009). What all these scholars have in common is that they highlight different ways through which refugees are represented, described, and thought of as threat. Media and public accounts have consistently represented refugees through words such as plight, invasion, flood, hordes, or waves (Friese 2017). The “highly heterogeneous and (too) strongly mediation-dependent European politics created an array of – in most cases negative – interpretations of the Refugee Crisis” (Krzyżanowski et al. 2018). In line with this narrative, at the visual level, the images that have accompanied the news on refugees have mostly included overcrowded boats, long lines of people in need, and looming masses of people crammed at border fences.

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACT Barbados is actively rising in the latest phase of a long history of emergence that began as far back as 15 Ma. The current phase began at or before ca. 700 ka, is highly nonuniform, and at least locally, has been nonsteady. The uplift rate field in SE Barbados ranges between near-zero and 0.47 m/k.y. and is harmonic to active structures of NNW-SSE contraction. Emergence markers include limestone strata, coral, and shoreline angles, but we used only shoreline angles in calculations. We divided the capping limestone of windward Barbados into 10 units using physical criteria and dated them with over 40 230Th ages as oxygen isotope stages 5a, 5e, late 7 and early 7, and old (older than 300 ka). The oldest unit is a relic of an earlier phase of emergence. Younger units, probably as old as 700 ka, downlap the eroded flank of the oldest unit and sublimestone foundation. Younger units comprise landward clastic facies deposited on abrasion platforms during eustatic highstand and seaward-coalescent fringe reef blankets deposited on preexisting slopes, mainly in transgression. Earlier models of ridged reefs of catch-up growth origin are not supported in windward Barbados. Shoreline angles, the updip tips of terrace floors and of younger limestone units, are isochronous markers of maximum highstand levels. Despite the lack of direct determination of their ages, shoreline angles provide the truest measures and highest values of emergence. Coral thought to indicate highstand growth gives moderately lower uplift rates due to depths of growth and collapse. Coral grown during transgression gives a marked error in emergence.

Beti a’i Phobol has been a fixture on the Radio Cymru schedule since 1987. It is the closest equivalent to Desert Island Discs on the Celtic fringe, and indeed the only such programme in a minority language within Britain. Though not a direct copy of Desert Island Discs, Beti a’i Phobol nonetheless offers a useful comparator to the expressions of Welshness evident over the last 70-plus years of Desert Island Discs. This chapter explores expressions of cultural belonging by Welsh castaways and contextualises their appearances in the history of Welsh political and linguistic struggles, in order to gauge the changing sense of Welshness over the programme’s history and the concomitant sense of Wales within British culture.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter asks whether the influence of anti-Muslim organizations within the media and policy process extends toward the broader public and everyday life. Though public opinion of Muslims became more favorable after the September 11 attacks, subsequent years witnessed a marked increase in anti-Muslim attitudes among the American public that mirrored the rise of anti-Muslim organizations within the public sphere. Data from popular social media sites suggest the surge in anti-Muslim civil society organizations was at least partly responsible for the transformation of the American public's understanding of Islam. Finally, the chapter details the growth of mosque controversies within the U.S. inspired by fringe activists—including the high-profile controversy about the construction of an Islamic center near the site of the September 11 attacks and the Qur'an burning controversy that followed.

Full textAbstract:
This concluding chapter summarizes key themes and presents some final thoughts. It argues that the cities of refuge examined in this book were intended to be sanctuaries from the modern world, but they became a source and stimulus for that world. Because of their compact nature, physical isolation, and social homogeneity, they had the purity of a control group in a laboratory experiment. And those variables that they were testing were precisely the ones that concerned the emerging modern world, such as the nature of labor, property ownership and means of production, and housing of industrial workers. The lessons of these societies of five hundred to a thousand members could be applied to much larger communities, or to countries themselves. In this way, these frail and marginal experiments, although they struggled at the fringe of the Western world, were at the very hub of modernity.

Full textAbstract:
The elemental regime on margins for derivatives not cleared through CCPs was added later on to the international regulatory agenda. The US was a pace-setter at the international level and a first-mover at the domestic level in promoting relatively precise, stringent and consistent margin requirements. The EU supported the US international standard-setting efforts, but adopted domestic regulation after international rules were set. There were no foot-draggers, even though several jurisdictions on the fringe were reluctant followers. Domestic regulators gathered in international standard-setting bodies facilitated the ironing out of differences amongst and within jurisdictions. Transgovernmental networks also fostered rule consistency, helping to manage the regime complexity resulting from several interlinked elemental regimes on derivatives. Margins were heavily contested by the financial industry, which mobilized to make them less precise and stringent. Private actors also urged regulators to consider this reform in conjunction with other post-crisis standards, notably, capital requirements.

If the legacy of Mary Queen of Scots was incapable of finding a home within the definition of Scottish nationality, there were some readings of the past that could accommodate her. As noted in the previous chapter, many Scottish Catholics viewed Mary as a Catholic martyr, someone who stood up for the religion of Rome and its Scottish antecedents in the midst of reforming turmoil. Though growing, the Catholic experience was still on the fringes of Scottish nationality, still finding its place in expressing its identity, yet this was not the only national frame within which the Queen could be placed. We encounter a somewhat unusual deployment of Mary in the exploits of the proto-nationalist and ardent neo-Jacobite Theodore Napier when visiting Fotheringay Castle – another focal point for Marian memory – in February 1908.

Abstract In severe accidents (SAs) of nuclear power plants, release of gas containing fission products (FPs) from the reactor vessel is thought to be a major issue. As to reduce the leakage of FPs into the environment, gas containing FPs are generally discharged though the wet well, and decontaminated by the transfer effect of FPs from the gas-phase to the liquid phase. This effect is called pool scrubbing. In SA analysis codes such as MELCOR, it is predicted in the model that FP particle motion inside a single bubble, created by the bubbly flow inside the wet well as a major factor in decontamination. However, there are almost no experimental data to investigate the decontamination behavior. Therefore, in our experiment, we used an advanced M/Z interferometer in order to visualize the particle decontamination behavior by adopting Maki prism and installing a high-speed camera. However, since the interferometer experiments are not specialized in non-stable phenomena and, there were several problems to be solved. The first problem was the phase extraction method in the FFT measurement. Since the FFT information of interference is complicated, the existing extract the phase information by hand from the overall amplitude. However, since the high-speed camera visualization provide a large amount of information, this is not a realistic solution in our experiment. Therefore, in order to obtain the threshold between phase information from the overall amplitude quantitatively, we applied the Gaussian mixture model (GMM) as to cluster the data. From the measurement results, we succeed in obtaining a threshold from the fitting results of GMM. The next problem was to obtain a fine image of the bubble interface in order to obtain the decontamination behavior in the bubble interface. However, the interference image contains a stripe on the background which makes it difficult to obtain the interface information. Therefore, in our experiment, we added a LED backlight coaxial to the laser of interferometer in order to obtain the backlight image on the bubble. The interference and backlight image are divided by wave length with a dichroic mirror. We have done a synchronous visualization of interference and backlight image. A fine mask to extract the interface of bubble is obtained from the calibration and comparison of two images. Using the visualization of continuous image of particle decontamination behavior from a single bubble, the decontamination behavior of particle from a single bubble was clearly obtained. Although the existing model predict the decontamination behavior as stable, the non-stationary decontamination of particle from the bubble has been measured.

This project was developed as an attempt to assess the relationship between different morphogenetic processes, in particular, those of fringe belt formation as described by M.R.G. Conzen (1960) and Whitehand (2001), and of centrality and compactness as described by Hillier (1999; 2002). Different approaches’ focus on different elements of the city has made it difficult to establish exactly how these processes interact or whether they are simply different facets of development reflecting wider socio-economic factors. To address this issue, a visual, chronological timeline of Limassol’s development was constructed along with a narrative of the socio-economic context of its development. The complexity of cities, however, makes static visualisations across time difficult to read and assess alongside textual narratives. We therefore took the step of developing an animation of land use and configurational analyses of Limassol, in order bring to life the diachronic analysis of the city and shed light on its generative mechanisms. The video presented here shows that the relationship between the processes mentioned above is much stronger and more complex than previously thought. The related paper explores in more detail the links between fringe belt formation as a cyclical process of peripheral development and centrality as a recurring process of minimisation of gains in distance. The project’s outcomes clearly show that composite methods of visualisations are an analytical opportunity still little exploited within urban morphology. References Conzen, M.R.G., 1960.

Full textAbstract:
Convective heat transfer in micro and mini channels has been recommended as an effective heat removal method for various electronic packages and systems. Experimental and theoretical investigations on the thermal performance of micro and mini channels have gained immense attention and hence, heat transfer studies in mini channels are of great importance. Some of the experimental results found in the literature on heat transfer in small-dimension channels are of contradicting nature even though some generally agreeing results are also found. One of the probable reasons for such deviations is the intrusive nature of the measurement techniques used. The traditional method of temperature measurement in channels uses the thermocouple probe, and for obtaining temperature distribution across the channel either a number of probes or a moving probe technique is required, both of which disturb the flow field and cause measurement errors. Hence a non intrusive measurement technique, such as an optical method is preferable for temperature measurement in small channels. In the present work, convective heat transfer studies have been performed on water flowing through a mini channel of hydraulic diameter 4 mm, using the non-intrusive technique of laser interferometry, coupled with digital image processing. The channel is fabricated using high quality optical glass and aluminum blocks. Mach Zehnder Interferometry is used for obtaining the temperature distribution in the channel. The experimental arrangement consists of two identical channels, one placed in the test section and the other in the reference section of the interferometric set up. As the test section is heated, a density variation is produced in the medium, which causes a refractive index variation, deforming interference fringes. This enables the calculation of the temperature distribution inside the channel. The interferograms are grabbed using a CCD camera and an AVT Fire package software. Digital image processing technique, using MATLAB software is used for locating the fringe-centers, and calculating the temperature distribution. The temperature profiles are obtained at different sections of the channel for various values of the average Reynolds number and various heating levels. The local and average heat flux values are obtained from the constructed temperature distributions. Variations of the local and average heat transfer coefficients and Nusselt number are determined and discussed. Results of parametric studies are compared and contrasted with relevant entry length solutions from the literature.

Full textAbstract:
Shearography is a laser interferometric method developed originally for full field observation of surface strains of components. Since flaws usually induce strain concentrations around them, shearography can be employed to detect the flaws. Conventional shearography involves exposing high resolution films before and after the components are loaded. The exposed films are developed and then viewed via a high-pass filtering optical setup. Though the images obtained are good, this method is time-consuming. With the advent of high-speed computers, associated sophisticated imaging hardware and software, the Digital Speckle Shearing Interferometry (DSSI) method which employs a CCD (charged-coupled device) camera and computer image processing to produce the interferometric fringe patterns has been developed. In contrast with the conventional shearography, the electronic version does not require any film and is faster. The techniques are used to detect and characterise (a) flaws simulating delaminations in composites and (b) thinning in pipes.

A study on the history of urban morphology in China based on discourse analysis Limeng Zhang¹, Andong Lu¹ ¹School of Architecture and Urban Planning, Nanjing University. Nanjing University Hankou Road 22#, Gulou District, Nanjing, China E-mail: 554361151@qq.com, andonglu@gmail.com Key words: urban morphology, terminology, discourse analysis Conference topics and scale: Literature review (Supported by the Natural Science Foundation of China, Grant No.: 51478215) Urban morphology is a method widely used in China in the field of urban design and urban conservation. Since its first introduction to the Chinese context about 20 years ago, the key ideas and concepts of urban morphology underwent a significant phenomenon of ‘lost in translation’. Different origins of morphological thoughts, different versions of translation, as well as different disciplinary context, have all together led to a chaotic discourse. This paper reviews the key Chinese articles in the field of urban morphology since 1982 and draws out a group of persistent keywords, such as evolution, axis, urban fringe belt, plan unit and plot, that characterize the morphological approach to urban issues. By reviewing the transformation of the definition of these keywords, this paper aims to generate an evolutionary map of landmark ideas and concepts, based on which, four stages in the development of urban morphology in China can be identified: emergence, growth, maturity, practice. The mapping methodology could be extrapolated to other words, and the obtained evolutionary map could be a basic tool for further study. References Conzen M. R.

Full textAbstract:
This proposal takes into consideration three categories of unusual narrative, connected to human life - the invisible, the everyday and the unmentionable - often placed in the outer fringe of our attention or completely ignored. The invisible: that which inhabits our world and often influences our lives, even though escaping our awareness because active in dimensions that we cannot see or do not know to guess. The everyday: what accompanies us in every moment of our lives and that produces in us a habit that makes it obvious (and then again, but otherwise invisible). The unmentionable: what happened at some time and somewhere, and the memory of which, for convenience, hypocrisy or convenience, has been removed or put on the edge of our life (and therefore to the visible limits), These categories have been chosen because of paradigmatic of new experiences on Cultural Preservation. The comprehension of the fundamental value of intangible cultural heritage, which came less than ten years ago to be part of the definition of "museum" written by ICOM (International Council of Museums), indeed, has opened new perspectives in the field of curating and of exhibition design, often destabilizing and unexpectedly coincident. Therefore we needs updated languages, more interactive and interdisciplinary towards the construction of a real design of the intangible cultures, able to reflect (and make reflect) on at first sight marginal phenomena, preserving their value of social and historical testimony and making it comprehensible to an audience as broad as possible. The new methods of staging these tales turn the apparent immateriality of knowledge of their socio-cultural values into occasion of development solutions, in form of exhibition design products and related services. We will examine as case studies, among others: for the invisible - l’Amterdam Micropia Musem (ART+COM studios), the World Water Museum (Keti Haliori), the Water Museum (P-06 atelier); for the everyday - the Museum of Broken Relationships (Vištica and Grubišić), the Museum of Obsolete Objects (Jung von Matt), The Museum of Everyday Life (Tidens Samling) for the unmentionable - the Museo Laboratorio della Mente (Studio Azzurro), the Memoria y Tolerancia Museum (Arditti+RDT).DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/IFDP.2016.3211
