Grissino-Mayer, Henri D., Leda N. Kobziar, Grant L. Harley, Kevin P. Russell, Liza B. LaForest, and Joseph K. Oppermann. "The Historical Dendroarchaeology Of The Ximénez-Fatio House, St. Augustine, Florida, U.S.A." Tree-Ring Society, 2010. http://hdl.handle.net/10150/622617.
Full textAbstract:
In recent decades, agencies charged with managing historic structures and sites have found
dendroarchaeological studies increasingly valuable, given the ability of such studies to verify (or refute) accepted dates of construction. The Ximénez-Fatio House has well-documented historical and cultural significance for the state of Florida, as it is one of St. Augustine’s oldest, best-preserved, and most studied historic properties. According to documentary sources, the two-story coquina-stone main house was reportedly built around 1797–1798, and included a one-story wing of warehouses, giving the house a distinctive ‘‘L’’ shape. Documentary evidence also suggests that a second story was added above the wing sometime between 1830 and 1842. However, after studying the building fabric itself, historical architects now believe the entire wing of the house was remodeled two decades later in the 1850s. Our goals were to: (1) determine the probable construction years for the original house and wing using tree-ring dating techniques, and (2) verify the probable construction year for the remodeling that occurred in the wing section of the house. A total of 74 core samples were extracted from longleaf pine (Pinus palustris P. Miller) timbers used to construct the house. Twenty-six were confidently crossdated both visually and statistically against each other to produce a 185-year floating tree-ring chronology. A
statistically significant (p < 0.0001) correlation between our chronology and a longleaf pine
chronology from Lake Louise, Georgia, anchors our chronology between 1673 and 1857. No cutting dates were obtained from the main house, but the lack of any tree rings that post-date 1798 supports the 1797 construction date. Furthermore, cutting dates obtained from beams in the first-floor wing revealed that the extensive remodeling of the wing likely occurred in the period 1856 to 1858 soon after the house had been purchased by Louisa Fatio in 1855.

Full textAbstract:
During development and testing of the functionality of the pacemaker and defibrillator device, engineers in the St. Jude Medical Cardiac Rhythm Management Division use an in-house development tool called Universal Engineering Programmer (UEP) to ensure the device functions as expected, before it can be used to test on an animal or a human during the implantation process. In addition, some applications of UEP are incorporated into the official releases of the device product. UEP has been developed and used by engineers across departments in the St. Jude Medical Cardiac Rhythm Management Division (CRMD). This thesis covers the flexible and reusable design and implementation of UEP features, to allow engineers to easily and effectively develop and test the devices.

Full textAbstract:
Despite increasing concern about the presence of heavy metals, pesticides and other toxins in indoor environments, very little is known about the physical and chemical composition of ordinary household dust. This study represents the first systematic investigation of the mineralogical composition of indoor dust in residential housing in Canada.
Specimens of dust were obtained from homes in six geographically separate cities in the Province of Ontario: two located on the metamorphic and igneous rocks of the Precambrian Canadian Shield (Thunder Bay and Sudbury), the other four located on Palaeozoic limestone and shale dominated bedrock (Barrie, Burlington, Cambridge, and Hamilton). Forty samples of household vacuum dust were obtained. The coarse fraction (80 – 300 µm) of this dust was subjected to flotation (using water) to separate the organic components (e.g. insect fragments, dander), natural and synthetic materials (e.g. fibres, plastics) from the mineral residue. The mineral fraction was then analyzed using quantitative point counting, polarizing light microscopy, powder X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy methods.
Despite the great distances between the sampling localities and the distinct differences in bedrock geology, the mineral fraction of dust from all six cities is remarkably similar and dominated by quartz and feldspar, followed by lithic fragments, calcite, and amphibole. Some evidence of the influence of local geology can nevertheless be found. For example, a relatively higher proportion of sulphide minerals is observed in the two cities on the Canadian Shield where these minerals are clearly more abundant in the bedrock. Specimens from Sudbury, Canada’s largest mining centre located atop a nickel-sulphide mineral deposit, showed the highest sulphide contents. Quartz is the dominant mineral in all cities. All quartz grains have internal strain features and fluid inclusions that are indicative of a metamorphic-igneous provenance.
In all cities, sand is used on the streets as an abrasive for traction during the icy winter season. This sand is obtained in all cases from local glaciofluvial deposits that were ultimately derived principally from the rocks of the Canadian Shield in the last Pleistocene glaciations that affected all of Ontario. Thus, tracking in sand is the most plausible mechanism by which quartz was introduced into these homes since sampling was done, in all cases, in the winter season.
The results indicate that glacial deposits dominate the mineral composition of indoor dust in Ontario cities and that nature of the bedrock immediately underlying the sampling sites is relatively of minor importance.

This project is a site specific based exploration into the boundaries between the domestic home and the navigation of the anxious corporeal body which dwells in the space. These connections open up ways of mapping anxiety brought on through intrusive thoughts surrounding contamination (in relation to Obsessive Compulsive Disorder). The corporal navigation of the domestic is fuelled by the thoughts and their control over the notions of fear and anxiety surrounding the transferring of contaminated material from the external temporal world (dust and organic matter) into the internal sterile environment through movement or fissures in the fabric of the dwelling. The project explores the notions of the domestic space being formed into a container for the intrusive thoughts through physical acts of decontaminating, containment, sealing and expelling the elements of dirt; the body and the home become a hybrid entity alluding to the extreme control which forms and takes over the domestic space.

Torrance, David Alan. "Christian kinship : relatedness in Christian practice and moral thought." Thesis, University of Cambridge, 2017. https://www.repository.cam.ac.uk/handle/1810/269744.
Full textAbstract:
Ideas of kinship play a significant role in structuring everyday life, and yet kinship has been neglected in Christian ethics, as well as moral philosophy and bioethics. Attention has been paid in these disciplines to the ethics of ‘family,’ but little regard has been paid to the fact that kinship is not a given, but is culturally contingent. The thesis seeks to remedy the neglect in recent Christian theological ethics by drawing on resources from the history of Christian thought and practice. It uses social anthropology both to unsettle the accounts of kinship used in Christian ethics, and to expose elements in Christian traditions of thought and practice relating to kinship. Notions of shared bodily substance, the house, gender and personhood recur cross-culturally in giving shape to kinship. By examining these four notions as they inform Christian thought and practice, a theological account is developed. Chapters dedicated to each of these four attempt to provide, in the first instance, a descriptive account of how the notion has structured Christian thought and practice in relation to kinship. Each chapter then turns, in the second instance, to a critical mode, offering a theological treatment of the chapter topic as it bears on kinship. The thesis concludes that kinship in Christ should be considered normatively primary for the Christian, but also that there are ways in which Christians have honoured this kinship in Christ by organising and playing out kinship on a smaller scale. In detailing the distinctively Christian organising principles that structure some practices of kinship ‘in miniature,’ another common practice – the special privileging of the blood tie in structuring kinship – is singled out for critique.

Full textAbstract:
The diploma thesis is the proposal of the Christian community and spiritual center near Church of St. Anthony of Padua in Ostrava Kunčičky. The building program corresponds to the catchment area of Kunčičky and includes an existing church building (conversion for the contemporary liturgy) with the addition of a new parish with a living space, a parish office and a meeting room. The existing building of the parish (adaptation for commercial use, bistro and offices) and the community center includes: a social hall with the necessary background, 2 flats 1 + kk and apartment for collective accommodation, clubroom and classroom for leisure activities, music, art workshop and warehouse. Part of the area is new square as the new centre of Kunčičky, the park and green area "open garden" with a children's and sports playground. The proposal is based on the creation of a new public space in the vicinity of the existing church. The pre-church is widened and creates a new square, the center of the city with the potential of meeting, landmark, festivities, Christmas markets, etc. On the contrary, the community center is behind the church and creates a new public space "open garden". Around it all community events are concentrated. Among these spaces is a "filter" set, as a soothing element of two poles. The complex offers people from this locality also a wide range of the city, a new offer of cultural, social and spiritual activities.

Full textAbstract:
This study delineates the domestic architecture of the early colonial period in the American tropics in the first group of British colonies that survived. In 1624, the English made their first permanent settlement on St. Christopher in the Caribbean, then expanded to the neighboring islands of Nevis, Antigua and Montserrat. Of particular interest to this research was what the architecture would reveal regarding how the first settlers adapted to the new island environment, its geography, resources, climate, and people, in the first 100 years. The research involved the examination of manuscripts of the period in archives and collections in the UK, USA and Caribbean. The historical data accumulated was primarily inventories and brief descriptions of houses, business correspondence and a small number of official maps. A key resource was a document listing the losses of buildings and possessions suffered as a result of French raids in 1705-1706. The study views the recorded items not as losses, but instead as proof of what once existed, almost as newly found "treasure", and analyzes the items both qualitatively and quantitatively in order to reveal a clearer picture of daily life for the settlers, from modest farmers to wealthier land owners. The study identified house types, stylistic trends in the houses and their furnishing, patterns of use, and construction methods. The architecture recorded the British colonists' process of adaptation to the unfamiliar environment. The study found that Leeward Islands, in the settler period of English colonization (1624-1726) there was a significant degree of interaction and exchange between the Amerindian and British peoples. In addition, it found correlations with rural houses in the wider American tropical region.

The thesis starts with a probe to the mysterious side of Jiang Nan Gardens in southern China, through which, hopefully concludes some design principles. What we have known such as “detour”, ” searching scene”, ” borrowing scene”, ”screening scene”, “adding the finishing touches to the scene” are the methods to achieve “the winding path leading to a secluded place” or “from the small to see the great”. How to deprive of those methods from tradition and keep original spirits is what the thesis concerns. All starts the fun of “detour” in view control. It happened to me that I realize the meaning of axis of the Acropolis of Athens in Classical Greek and Classical Roman era, and I found interesting enough that participating the path of Parthenon is so similar to the Wang-Shih Yuan of southern China. The path of Jiang Nan belongs to a kind of leisure walking while the path of Athens acropolis belongs to sacrificial circle. They are different in appearance though, but share the same spiritual intention- to purify the tourists’ soul. This two won’t be incompatible for the reason of being in the East and West. Greek to Europe is as East to the West. Le Corbusier, from the East, get inspiration from Parthenon and created a new architectural spirit. The spirit has been shown in Louis I. Kahn, Carlo Scarpa, and Ando’s works. The thesis design makes use of both the Jiang Nan’s winding and Parthenon’s irregular path to form a dialect space. The site is at the intersection of Heian Road and Shennong Street due to its economic requirement. The commercial activity of Heian Road is almost dying behind the section of Shuishan-Temple Market. In order to rehabilitate the commercial life, also link with the cafe boulevard along the Heian, I choose a tea house as my thesis design topic. The other reason I choose this site is because of its historic atmosphere: Shennong is one of the five historic havens in the late Qin Dynasty. I make use of the ideas of the paths mentioned to present the fun of strolling in the space. What I endeavour is to give those historic motifs a new form and new life.

Di-Hua Street is one of the areas which preserve lots of historic relics including the 4-column-3-window façades in Taipei. In the governmental reports about the 4-column-3-window façades on Di-Hua Street, however, there are many questionable parts of the architectural regulations, which leads to the troubles of reconstructing this type of building. Most literature focused on the various decoration styles of buildings like buildings with 4-column-3-window façade and rarely probed into their construction domain. This study specifically explores the construction of the 4-column-3-window façades and finds the patterns of the interaction relationship among the different constructional components to establish a more integral data base. If the current rules or regulations are used to examine the structure of the 4-column-3-window façades on Di-Hua Street, a high portion of those buildings will appear to be out of the law. Moreover, since the current rules and regulations are unclear about matters such as the classifications of diverse kinds of façades, the limited boundary of the building components, the relative proportions among the building components, and the assembling ways of the building components, many problems cannot be avoided while the 4-column-3-window façades are under reconstruction.

Full textAbstract:
For hundreds of years immigrants have been coming to Canada to start life afresh in hopes of a better future. Many choose Canada because they consider this country a peaceful, tolerant and welcoming place where people and institutions are open and supportive towards cultural diversity. This perception has led many newcomers to believe that with hard work and perseverance, they can in time achieve a fulfilling life. However, the reality of everyday life for many immigrants and their families has shown that significant challenges threaten the attainment of these goals.
Research into the life of immigrants makes clear that not every newcomer is able to gain full inclusion in Canadian society. As well, not everyone arrives on equal footing. Many families arrive with few resources. These new Canadians need help not only to gain access to key necessities (i.e. housing, income, education and employment) but also to understand the countless and often perplexing new cultural experiences that await them. This group of newcomers become particularly vulnerable to falling into a downward spiral of poverty that can be difficult to escape.
Considering the fact that finding a safe and satisfying home is a critical step in smooth transitioning, it becomes important to ask how the work of architects contributes to the well-being of immigrants attempting to settle and integrate into their newly chosen home.
The thesis studies the potential of making settlement easier by proposing an architecture of belonging. The goal is to create a welcoming place for newcomers that supports both a robust communal life and responds to everyday needs. The positive momentum of inclusive community building further fosters a strong neighbourly bond among residents of all cultures and beliefs, which in turn strengthens the Canadian visions of multiculturalism. The thesis explores the design of a housing prototype that brings a neighbourhood house and housing development on the site of St. Christopher House in Toronto.

"Home ownership" the provisions of the Constitution guarantees is basic human rights, and the government has the responsibility to supply house and to protect residents from homeless fear. However, with the development of economy, the house prices are perked up with the rising living standards, so it is difficult for many residents to afford to buy their own home. On account of the low income in southern Taiwan, it is an inalienable duty for the Government to reduce the stress of mortgage except other consumption. According to the 1995 housing census, in Kaohsiung, the amount of the housing age from 20 years to 29 years is about 151,000, the amount of the housing age more than 30 years is as many as 551,000. House of antique style is insufficient to disaster prevention and earthquake, and illegal housing constructions do violence to the beauty of the city. If fully entering into the reconstruction and maintenance, it not only to accord with the trend of environmental protection, but also to enhance the living quality and urban functions. Through the analysis of the Urban Planning Act, the Urban Renewal Act and the Housing Act, this study does achieve the goal of the old housing reconstruction via the applicable Urban Renewal Ordinance. The concept of "Self-build housing" is a kind of solution from the reconstruction of disaster areas, the placement of the inhabitants out of illegal housing constructions. Through the corporation of community residents, the applications of rules and financing from the government and the professional institutions help of know-how, both parties achieve reconstructions on the basis of trusting relationships. The main projects of housing reconstructions are the housing owners. Whether the reconstructions succeed or not depends on the participant willingness of housing owners, and the key factor is “financing demand”. Cost-benefit analysis proves that the financial plan from the old housing reconstructions can be afforded by the housing owners, and the year and the rate of housing loan are greatly reduced. The savings can promote the quality of life or invest in others. In this way, it is no longer the pressures for most people to procure (or purchase) houses.

"The Gospel according to St. Mark's: Methodist women embodying a liberating theology from the Social Gospel Era to the Civil Rights Era at a deaconess-run settlement house in the French Quarter of New Orleans." Tulane University, 2002.
Find full textAbstract:
This study focuses on St. Mark's Community Center and St. Mark's United Methodist Church, which share a building in New Orleans, Louisiana. In 1895, Methodist women, motivated by Social Gospel studies, adopted a struggling mission, and in 1909, expanded the work to the French Quarter, where Methodist deaconesses established a settlement serving white immigrants Women's work at Methodist settlement houses has been undervalued, discounted by the church as too secular, and by non-sectarian settlement workers and historians as too religiously motivated. I argue that examining the work of southern Methodist women who embodied the Social Gospel reveals gender differentiation in the movement's praxis, alters understandings of its duration, and demonstrates the unproductiveness of characterizing female reformers as social and theological conservatives. Far more nuanced understandings of their motives and experiences are required Despite attempts in the early 1990s by Ralph Luker and Ronald White to combat assertions that the Social Gospel was racist, in 2001, scholar Darryl Trimiew still insisted it was by definition a racist movement. The perception is common that female Social Gospel/Progressive reformers pursued conservative, if not racist and classist, agendas. However, several white deaconesses who served St. Mark's joined the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in the 1930s, held radical views about social and economic equality, and operated as racially open a facility as possible within Deep South mainline Protestantism Denied ordination because of their sex, deaconesses nevertheless exerted profound theological influence on two young New Orleans clergymen (including a deaconess's son) who agitated prophetically for school desegregation in the mid-1950s. In 1960, the pastor of the St. Mark's congregation broke the white boycott of William Frantz Elementary School by keeping his daughter in school with the first black student. Deaconesses were leaders in the congregation, and many members had joined because of their relationships with the women of the Community Center; thus, deaconesses played decisive roles in determining the congregation's response during the school desegregation crisis. Studying six decades of deaconess work at St. Mark's reveals strong links between female Social Gospel practitioners and the Civil Rights Movement in New Orleansacase@tulane.edu
