Abstract:
AbstractWhile considering a mirror and light rays coming either from a point source or from infinity, the reflected light rays may have an envelope, called a caustic curve. In this paper, we study developable surfaces as mirrors. These caustic surfaces, described in a closed form, are also developable surfaces of the same type as the original mirror surface. We provide efficient, algorithmic computation to find the caustic surface of each of the three types of developable surfaces (cone, cylinder, and tangent surface of a spatial curve). We also provide a potential application of the results in contemporary free-form architecture design.

Abstract:
Abstract Exhumed fault rocks provide a textural and chemical record of how fault zone composition and architecture control coseismic temperature rise and earthquake mechanics. We integrated field, microstructural, and hematite (U-Th)/He (He) thermochronometry analyses of exhumed minor (square-centimeter-scale surface area) hematite fault mirrors that crosscut the ca. 1400 Ma Sandia granite in two localities along the eastern flank of the central Rio Grande rift, New Mexico. We used these data to characterize fault slip textures; evaluate relationships among fault zone composition, thickness, and inferred magnitude of friction-generated heat; and document the timing of fault slip. Hematite fault mirrors are collocated with and crosscut specular hematite veins and hematite-cemented cataclasite. Observed fault mirror microstructures reflect fault reactivation and strain localization within the comparatively weaker hematite relative to the granite. The fault mirror volume of some slip surfaces exhibits polygonal, sintered hematite nanoparticles likely created during coseismic temperature rise. Individual fault mirror hematite He dates range from ca. 97 to 5 Ma, and ~80% of dates from fault mirror volume aliquots with high-temperature crystal morphologies are ca. 25–10 Ma. These aliquots have grain-size–dependent closure temperatures of ~75–108 °C. A new mean apatite He date of 13.6 ± 2.6 Ma from the Sandia granite is consistent with prior low-temperature thermochronometry data and reflects rapid, Miocene rift flank exhumation. Comparisons of thermal history models and hematite He data patterns, together with field and microstructural observations, indicate that seismicity along the fault mirrors at ~2–4 km depth was coeval with rift flank exhumation. The prevalence and distribution of high-temperature hematite grain morphologies on different slip surfaces correspond with thinner deforming zones and higher proportions of quartz and feldspar derived from the granite that impacted the bulk strength of the deforming zone. Thus, these exhumed fault mirrors illustrate how evolving fault material properties reflect but also govern coseismic temperature rise and associated dynamic weakening mechanisms on minor faults at the upper end of the seismogenic zone.

Abstract:
The operation of today’s Internet can only be achieved with the domain name system (DNS), and the essential part of the DNS is the root servers. Adding anycast mirrors has been used to maintain the security of root servers, but many problems accompany this technique. In this paper, we used 36198 probe points deployed worldwide to probe 1160 root mirror sites and analyzed the data with root mirrors’ identification and localization (RMIL). RMIL is a method to identify and locate root mirrors. It contains probing and analyzing the network services ID (NSID) and traceroute data to identify and locate root mirror sites. Using this method, 821 (70.78% of the total) sites were accurately identified and located, and city-level localization was achieved for 281 other sites. Finally, the identification results were used in the service area analysis. The analysis contained multiple dimensions: locations, autonomous system numbers (ASN), internet service providers (ISP), and IPV4 prefixes. As such, we helped identify and locate root mirror sites more precisely and discover which ones have a greater service area in different dimensions.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT The University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB), campus as it stands today appears as an architectural mash-up of midcentury modern institutional buildings, both low rise and high rise; a smattering of World War II–era wooden buildings; 1970s-style double wide trailers; and new science buildings built by a who's who of internationally famous architects. In this case study, the author shows how the UCSB campus's architectural history mirrors the post–World War II boom in educational facilities throughout California and the social, cultural, and architectural history of the region as a whole. The key to discovering this history is archival research, both at the University Archives at the UCSB Library, as well as at the architecture-specific Architecture and Design Collection at the Art, Design & Architecture Museum on campus. In this case study, the author explains how the architectural history can be traced through the archival records to more fully understand the history of the campus.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT: William Faulkner shows the objective and subjective world in intimate dialogue throughout his fiction. His pattern of representing bodies in conversation with buildings through movement and perception is integral to his vision of embodied experience. This article demonstrates how Faulkner employs competing romantic and modernist architectures in service of a descriptive ontology and a new theory of architecture. In "Mirrors of Chartres Street," Faulkner offers a new mode of building that rejects the use of property or tools, heroizing the body itself as a means of building and dwelling.

Abstract:
In 1953, architect, planner, and historian Erwin Anton Gutkind published a series of articles collectively titled “How Other Peoples Dwell and Build” in Architectural Design. At a glance, the series seems an anomaly in Gutkind's extensive oeuvre, and it remains little known in the field of vernacular architecture. In “How Other Peoples Dwell and Build”: Erwin Anton Gutkind and the Architecture of the Other, Marcel Vellinga aims to place the series within the broader context of Gutkind's writings. Running through Gutkind's work—and underlined in Vellinga's article—is the thesis that the historical development of human settlements mirrors the degenerating relationships between individuals and their communities, and between human beings and the natural environment. Thus, the Architectural Design series is an integral part of Gutkind's writings on the history of urban development. The series is one of the first architectural publications to focus on vernacular traditions from an international perspective and to emphasize the importance of studying vernacular architecture in its larger cultural and environmental contexts.

Ambrosio, Jeanie. "Mirror Images: Penelope Umbrico’s Mirrors (from Home Décor Catalogs and Websites)." Scholar Commons, 2018. https://scholarcommons.usf.edu/etd/7466.

Full text
Abstract:
As the artwork’s title suggests, Penelope Umbrico’s "Mirrors (from Home Décor Catalogs and Websites)" (2001-2011), are photographs of mirrors that Umbrico has appropriated from print and web based home décor advertisements like those from Pottery Barn or West Elm. The mirrors in these advertisements reflect the photo shoot constructed for the ad, often showing plants or light filled windows empty of people. To print the "Mirrors," Umbrico first applies a layer of white-out to everything in the advertisement except for the mirror and then scans the home décor catalog. In the case of the web-based portion of the series, she removes the advertising space digitally through photo editing software. Once the mirror has been singled out and made digital, Umbrico then adjusts the perspective of the mirror so that it faces the viewer. Finally, she scales the photograph of the mirror cut from the advertisement to the size and shape of the actual mirror for sale. By enlarging the photograph, she must increase the file size and subsequent print significantly, which distorts the final printed image thereby causing pixelation, otherwise known as “compression artifacts.” Lastly, she mounts these pixelated prints to non-glare Plexiglas both to remove any incidental reflective surface effects and to create a physical object. What hangs on the wall, then, looks like a mirror in its shape, size and beveled frame: the photograph becomes a one-to-one representation of the object it portrays. When looking at a real mirror, often the viewer is aware of either a reflection of the self or a shifting reflection caused by his or her own movement. However, the image that the "Mirror" ‘reflects’ is not the changing reflection of a real mirror. Nor is it a clear, fixed image of the surface of a mirror. Instead the "Mirrors" present a highly abstract, pixelated surface to meet our eyes. The "Mirrors" are physical objects that merge two forms of representation into one: the mirror and the photograph, thus highlighting similarities between them as surfaces that can potentially represent or reflect almost anything. However, in their physical form, they show us only their pixelation, their digitally constructed nature. Penelope Umbrico’s "Mirrors" are photographs of mirrors that become simultaneously photograph and mirror: the image reflected on the mirror’s surface becomes a photograph, thus showing an analogy between the two objects. In their self-reflexive nature, I argue that Umbrico’s "Mirrors" point to their status as digital photographs, therefore signaling a technological shift from analog to digital photography. Umbrico’s "Mirrors," in altering both mirrors and photographs simultaneously refer to the long history of photography in relation to mirrors. The history of photography is seen first through these objects by the reflective surface of the daguerreotype which mirrored the viewer when observing the daguerreotype, and because of the extremely high level of detail in the photographic image, which mirrored the photographic subject. The relation to the history of photography is also seen in the phenomenon of the mirror within a photograph and the idea that the mirror’s reflection shows the realistic way that photographs represent reality. Craig Owens calls this "en abyme," or the miniature reproduction of a text that represents the text as a whole. In the case of the mirror, this is because the mirror within the photograph shows how both mediums display highly naturalistic depictions of reality. I contend that as an object that is representative of the photographic medium itself, the shift from analog to digital photography is in part seen through the use of the mirror that ultimately creates an absent referent as understood through a comparison of Diego Velázquez’s "Las Meninas" (1656). As Foucault suggests that "Las Meninas" signals a shift in representation from the Classical age to the Modern period, I suggest that the "Mirrors" signal the shift in representation from analog to digital. This latter shift spurred debate among photo history scholars related to the ontology of the photographic medium as scholars were anxious that the ease of editing digital images compromised the photograph’s seeming relationship to truth or reality and that it would be impossible to know whether an image had been altered. They were also concerned with the idea that computers could generate images from nothing but code, removing the direct relationship of the photograph to its subject and thereby declaring the “death” of the medium. The "Mirrors" embody the technological phenomenon with visual addition of “compression artifacts,” otherwise known as pixelation, where this representation of digital space appears not directly from our own creation but as a by-product of digital JPEG programming. In this way they are no longer connected to the subject but only to the digital space they represent. As self-reflexive objects, the "Mirrors" show that there has been a technological transformation from the physically made analog photograph to the inherently mutable digital file.

In this document I present three tools for reflective, creative thinking: Pillow-Talk, the NeverEnding Drawing Machine and Calliope. These tools make use of the "distorted mirror" metaphor for self-reflection. They are designed to debunk myths of creativity as an acquired faculty and instead promote creative apperception and flexible thinking. Pillow-Talk is designed to prime dream recall and facilitate capture through voice recording. Considering the dream an aesthetic experience we all undertake, where the dreamer is free to test knowledge liberated from physical and moral constraints, its aim is to promote flexibility in levels of thought. The NeverEnding Drawing Machine and Calliope endorse flexibility in vehicles of thought through co-creative and collaborative play. One can incorporate any object found in the environment as a tool or material, thus making contextualized and personalized creations. They promote cross-cultural and cross-generational co-creation as the echo from which to recenter perception.

We have yet to create the ultimate interactive experience. Why is that so, and how can that change? How can we increase our chances of getting it right? Interactive, location-based experiences are a new genre and need a new way of thinking about designing them. We also need a better way of dealing with the sophistication of modem technology, enabling us to get to the heart of designing these new interactions. This thesis makes progress in this area by creating a classification system for the space of interactive location-based entertainment experiences. It begins to develop a theory of interactivity as it can be applied to this genre. The theory also guides the birth of a library of interactive design techniques and the development of a design approach as a series of steps and questions that must be answered to complete an experience. It is proposed that across a variety of experience types (games, rides, theater shows and museum installations), the design approach will be similar. It is also hypothesized that given one distinct hardware system, a range of different interactions can be explored. Furthermore, this thesis looks at how technology can be used to aid in the development process by designing a rapid development environment for prototyping new interactions. By establishing a new way of looking at the problem I hope to be able to reach the goal of creating compelling experiences. Through the construction of a new set of tools, this thesis details the fundamental elements of a location-based, interactive attraction and exposes all of the technical, practical and artistic issues that must be resolved to successfully complete and deploy them.

Abstract:
The majority of signals, that need to be processed, are analog, which are continuous and can take an infinite number of values at any time instant. Precision of the analog signals are limited due to influence of distortion which leads to the use of digital signals for better performance and cost. Analog to Digital Converter (ADC), converts the continuous time signal to the discrete time signal. Most A/D converters are classified into two categories according to their sampling technique: nyquist rate ADC and oversampled ADC. The nyquist rate ADC operates at the sample frequency equal to twice the base-band frequency, whereas the oversampled ADC operates at the sample frequency greater than the nyquist frequency. The sigma delta ADC using the oversampling technique provides high resolution, low to medium speed, relaxed anti-aliasing requirements and various options for reconfiguration. On the contrary, resolution of the sigma delta ADC can be traded for high speed operation. Data sampling techniques plays a vital role in the sigma delta modulator and can be classified into discrete time sampling and continuous time sampling. Furthermore, the discrete time sampling technique can be implemented using the switched-capacitor (SC) integrator and the switched-current (SI) integrator circuits. The SC integrator technique provides high accuracy but occupies a larger area. Unlike the SC integrator, the SI integrator offers low input impedance and parasitic capacitance. This makes the SI integrator suitable for low supply voltage and high frequency applications. From a detailed literature study on the multi-bit sigma delta modulator, it is analyzed that, theneeds a highly linear digital to analogue converter (DAC) in its feedback path. The sigma delta modulators are very sensitive to linearity of the DAC which can degrade the performance without any attenuation. For this purpose T.C. Leslie and B. Singh proposed a Hybrid architecture using the multi-bit quantizer with a single bit DAC. The most significant bit is fed back to the DAC while the least significant bits are omitted. This omission requires a complex digital calibration to complete the analog to digital conversion process which is a small price to pay compared to the linearity requirements of the DAC. This project work describes the design of High-Speed Hybrid Current modeModulator with a single bit feedback DAC at the speed of 2.56GHz in a state-of-the-art 65 nm CMOS process. It comprises of both the analog and digital processing blocks, using T.C. Leslie and B. Singh architecture with the switched current integrator data sampling technique for low voltage, high speed operation. The whole system is verified mathematically in matlab and implemented using signal flow graphs and verilog a code. The analog blocks like switched current integrator, flash ADC and DAC are implemented in transistor level using a 65 nm CMOS technology and the functionality of each block is verified. Dynamic performance parameters such as SNR, SNDR and SFDR for different levels of abstraction matches the mathematical model performance characteristics.

In 1893 at Chicago's World Columbian Exposition, California devoted a great deal of resources to its promotion through a pavilion that spelled out a construct about California's "Spanish" past. This supposed history got incorporated into California's self-representation and affected the identity of both the Anglo and California populations. This presentation of California shows that exotic figures need not function through the logic of an opposite "other," as is usually theorized. By analyzing the role of architecture in California's Spanish "identity," the thesis locates the representational power of architecture closer to its function in discursive practices rather than to mere formal aspects.

This essay discusses Le Corbusier's Modulor through its appearance in the Poeme de l'angle droit. The Poeme reveals the architect's later thinking in a synthetic and precise way, offering precious help for its comprehension. A study of the Modulor in such context demonstrates that it was more than an attempt to develop a modular methodology. Embodied in the Poeme, the Modulor discloses Le Corbusier's struggle to create a framework for his practice, providing invaluable insights into our present condition.

Abstract:
The video games industry is rapidly developing as technology allows designers to create increasingly comprehensive worlds for their players to explore. Acknowledging the experience gained by architects designing similar structures for the physical world, this thesis explorescross-disciplinary research. The relationship between architecture and level design is here utilized to further the understanding of architectural space within first-person video games. A textual analysis is performed on Mirror’s Edge Catalyst to investigate ways in which architecture may contribute to the narrative of a game. This reading embodies the aspirations of precedent studies, used by architects to understand and analyse the components within an architectural composition. The thesis is guided by the question “How can architectural space support the narrative in levels of first-person video games?” and manages to uncover multiple layers to the design of Mirror’s Edge Catalyst. The research conveys that the expectedgameplay experience guides the composition of the architecture within the level. Here the horizontal and vertical planes that define space may be utilized to facilitate the narrative throughtheir shape and configuration. The spatial segments are then arranged into linear or centralizedorganizations emphasizing the narrative of the level. Finally, throughout these spatial organizations monumental architecture is applied which provides stages that assist in conveyingthe focal point of the narrative.
Den digitala spelindustrin utvecklas snabbt i samband med teknologiska framsteg. Detta resulterar i förutsättningar för speldesigners att utveckla utförliga virtuella världar för deras spelare att utforska. Genom att erkänna den välutvecklade erfarenheten erhållen av arkitekter i deras arbete att konstruera världens samhällen, antar sig detta kandidatarbete tvärvetenskaplig forskning. Relationen mellan arkitektur och level design används här för att främja förståelsen för arkitektoniskt utrymme inom videospel som utspelar sig i första person. En textanalys är utförd på Mirror’s Edge Catalyst med syftet att undersöka olika möjligheter för arkitektur att bidra till narrativ inom spel. Denna analys aspirerar till att förhålla sig till målet av en prejudikatstudie som tillåter arkitekter att förstå och analysera komponenter inom en arkitektonisk komposition. Kandidatarbetet vägleds av forskningsfrågan ”Hur kan arkitektoniskt utrymme användas för att stödja ett narrativ i banor från första-persons videospel?”. Forskningen visar att den förväntade spelupplevelsen inom en bana styr den arkitektoniska kompositionen. Horisontella och vertikala ytor används för att definiera utrymme medan deras form och sammansättning ger plats åt banans narrativ. Det uppdelade utrymmet placeras sedan in i linjära eller centraliserade organisationer vilket styrker den narrativa upplevelsen som etableras. Under dessa organisationer placeras storslagen arkitektur, vilket ger upphov till scener vars syfte är att underlätta kommunikationen av fokuset inom narrativet.

Developing applications for distributed platforms can be very difficult and complex. We have developed a software framework to support distributed, interactive, collaborative applications that run on collections of self-organizing, autonomous computational units. We have included modules to aid application programmers with the exchange of messages, development of fault tolerance, and the aggregation of sensor data from multiple sources. We have assumed a mesh network style of computing, where there is no shared clock, no shared memory, and no central point of control. We have built a distributed user input system, and a distributed simulation application based on the framework. We have demonstrated the viability of our application by testing it with users.

Abstract:
AbstractThe residential architecture in the process of urban digital development has become a living complex with real and virtual mirrors, in which people are the unity of connection between spatial environment, identity and living relationship. In this paper, the new value orientation of community residential design is analyzed by sorting out the meaning of community; within the design system of residential space, the intimacy and public consciousness of residents’ neighborhood relationship is enhanced through spatial transition and cultivation of shared living space. The argument is developed from three levels: individual residents’ self-reconstruction, residents’ new behavioral decisions, and spatial behavioral output. Through a series of argumentation, the relationship between community and residential space planning and design is explored, and the data on the interaction between users, usage behavior and space usage of different households are statistically obtained. At the same time, this paper simulates and designs the community residential space module system based on this data and combined with the computer 3D model derivation. The residential block formed by the combination of the smallest modules, as the smallest residential unit, continues to form the design path of a sustainable residential system through the process of combination and deformation of space.

Abstract:
Introduces some key notions of cognitive (neuro)science including mirror neurons and perceptual and motor schemas. Much important processing may be subconscious. Af-fordances link multi-modal perception and action. Three linkages of architecture and neuroscience are noted: neuroscience of experience; neuroscience of design; and neuro-morphic architecture, “brains” for buildings. Examples are offered from Zumthor’s Therme at Vals (linking memory and imagination) and a case study of group creativity in choreography (illustrating four-dimensional planning).

Abstract:
Augmenting photo-voltaic (PV) system performance using fixed flat mirrors boosts PV power output. Previous literature reports that fixed flat mirrors create non-uniform irradiance on the PV panels, which limits the current and decreases panel efficiency. Triplex panels have a modified cell string architecture that splits the panel into three separate sections to address this problem. This paper describes an experimental setup consisting of a pyranometer to measure total solar irradiation, an air temperature sensor, a standard PV panel with and without mirrors, and a triplex panel with and without mirrors. The sensor and PV panels are connected to Daystar Multi-tracer logger to collect the instantaneous data. The experiment is simulated using TracePro® to determine the distribution of radiation reflected onto the PV panels. Both simulated and measured results indicate the bottom part of the mirror augmented panels receive the most solar irradiance followed by middle portion, followed by top portion. The results document the difference in performance between standard and Triplex panels with fixed flat mirrors and suggest configurations that maximize performance.

Abstract:
Lepidopteran scales, the "dust" that covers the wings of moths and butterflies, are extremely complex in form. Those scales exhibiting structural colors are especially so, for in these, certain scale elements are elaborated into fine-grained architectural arrays that interact with light to produce the colors. The optics of structural colors are well understood by the physicists; biologists would like to know the anatomical bases of biological structural colors and to understand how living cells can make essentially perfect interference filters.

Full text
Abstract:
A novel six-port optical reflectometer is proposed and demonstrated to measure the complex reflection coefficients of an optical component, such as an optical waveguide or a phase-conjugate mirror. This simple reflectometer architecture is composed of two cascaded Michelson interferometers. By using a scattering-matrix representation, it is found that the reflection coefficients to be measured must satisfy the three-cycle (performance) equations. For an optical implementation, adjustable high-quality mirrors mounted on microtranslation stages are needed to obtain a suitable phase relationship between two Michelson interferometers. A system calibration is also needed before a measurement, to determine the performance-equation parameters. After this calibration, by simply measuring the output optical power at the various reflectometer ports, the reflection coefficients of unknown optical components can be computed. In our experiment, two λ/10 (λ = 633 nm) mirrors were mounted on computer-controlled micropositioners and were placed at two of the six reflectometer ports. A λ/2 phase shift between the two interferometers was selected. Detailed descriptions of the reflectometer's model, its optical implementation, and preliminary experimental results will be presented.

Abstract:
The field of architecture and design has changed and been impacted by advanced technology over the past few decades. Our world, which was already experiencing drastic change, has recently encountered accelerated upheaval due to the global pandemic. Enamored by virtual reality (VR), 3D printing, global positioning, and the proliferation of robots, we are arguably too often surrounded by resultant superficial, meaningless, and soulless spaces to which we can neither relate nor connect. The sense of delight, serenity, poetry, and beauty that we inherently desire and yearn for, is becoming increasingly rare -- and at times even lost -- in today’s architecture. It can be argued that contemporary architecture risks becoming more a tool and product than a work of art that mirrors society and self. As architects, we are responsible to humanity through our quest to design spaces that reunite us with our inner selves and foster a sense of being. Considering recent challenges, crises, and catastrophes, designers are continuously researching the well-known traditional and aged architecture of the past for novel approaches that can enlighten future works. Architects are beginning to more assertively seek factors that propel transcendental experience in space. The present paper considers the case of Persian architecture - one of the richest and most eminent architectural styles in the world. Most buildings of this genre were designed by individuals who were most notably spiritual masters, mystics, astronomers, mathematicians, philosophers, and then architects. This paper interrogates architecture to critically delineate Persian architecture’s role in enhancing contemplation and provoking reflection while highlighting spaces that poetically respond to and nurture our soul. Deploying a literature review and analysis of recently built Sufi Centers in the United States, the research then builds an argument for linking the wisdom of Persian architecture with the spirit of place focusing on the encounter of transcendental moments in space. All these Sufi centers are affiliated with the Maktab Tarighat Oveysi (M.T.O.) Shahamaghsoudi School of Islamic Sufism. Analysis of case studies culls out qualities of space that give rise to sacred (non-religious) experiences including connection with self, balance/ harmony, and most important of all, unity, and oneness internally and externally. Persian architecture, as one of history’s most celebrated building traditions, considers the intense relationship between the sacred and profane, between mortal and immortal, and between the physical and the non-physical. The analysis of these exceptional case studies serves as the foundation for an anticipated and thought-provoking guide to ‘transcendental design,’ introducing a novel approach for designers that encourages advancing beyond the physical form to pursue and optimize the vital intersection of wisdom, space, place, and self.

Abstract:
<div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) is a growing technology in automotive industry, intended to provide safety and comfort to the passengers with the help of variety of sensors like radar, camera, LIDAR etc. Though ADAS improved safety of passengers comparing to conventional non-ADAS vehicles, still it has some grey areas for safety enhancement and easy assistance to drivers. BSW (Blind Spot Warning) and LCA (Lane Change Assist) are ADAS function which assists the driver for lane changing. BSW alerts the driver about the vehicles which are in blind zone in adjacent lanes and LCA alerts the driver about approaching vehicles at a high velocity in adjacent lanes. In current ADAS systems, BSW and LCA alerts are given as optical and acoustic warnings which is placed in vehicle side mirrors. During lane change the driver must see the side mirrors to take a decision. Due to this, there is a reaction time for taking a decision since driver must divert attention from windshield to side mirrors and back to windshield &amp; this reaction time can be one of the causes of accident in many cases. So, there is a scope to improve safety by eliminating this driver reaction time. This paper presents an idea about using heads-up display for BSW and LCA warnings to eliminate this driver reaction time. The Head-Up Display (HUD) gives warning information in the windshield itself instead of side mirrors in the existing system so the driver need not to look at side mirrors during lane change. This driver interface feature can be implemented to other ADAS function warnings also to enhance the safety performance. This paper also covers ADAS vehicle and HUD mounting architecture along with different types of HUD’s information.</div></div>

Full text
Abstract:
The conventional acousto-optic (AO) Bragg cell rf receiver is known to suffer from two limitations: limited dynamic range and incapability for phase measurement. To increase the dynamic range and to facilitate the phase measurement, we must use optical heterodyning detection. Most related works have been carried out using bulk AO Bragg cells1 in which a number of beam splitters, mirrors, and wedges were configured into a Mach-Zehnder interferometer to facilitate the required functions of beam splitting, directing, combination, and filtering for the signal and reference beams. To overcome the problems of vibrations and thermal fluctuations and subwavelength alignment tolerances required, a so-called modified Mach-Zehnder interferometer was explored recently. This expoloration was accomplished by using integrated-optic (IO) architecture2 in which a pair of proton-exchanged gratings were used as the beam splitting, directing, and combining elements. A relatively low dynamic range of 30 dB was measured owing to excessive optical losses from the gratings and the propagation in the waveguide. In this paper we present a simple IO architecture that utilizes wideband cascaded AO and electrooptic (EO) Bragg diffractions in Y-cut LiNbO3 planar waveguide to perform efficient and wideband heterodyning detection. The results obtained thus far suggest a new architecture for the realization of wideband IO interferometric rf spectrum analyzers.

Full text
Abstract:
High- resolution imaging requirements push telescope designs to increasingly large apertures and consequently large primary mirror sizes. Conventional astronomical telescopes require high-optical-quality primary mirrors. In order to achieve and maintain high surface quality at large apertures, such mirrors are monolithic, extremely heavy and very costly to fabricate and transport. These considerations limit the aperture sizes of present day ground-based and space-based astronomical telescopes. In recent years, compensated imaging techniques have been studied as possible solutions to the problem of imaging with low-optical-quality primary mirrors. With relaxed requirements on the surface quality of the primary mirror, alternative lightweight architectures for telescope systems become feasible.

Full text
Abstract:
The fundamental advantage which optics has is its parallel communications capability. Lenses, mirrors, and prisms can easily communicate millions of wide bandwidth channels in parallel. The question arises as to how to take advantage of this capability. This difficulty is more a computer science problem than an optics problem. Large arrays of processors have yet to be built and successfully applied. The two basic approaches being pursued involve either a single instruction multiple data (SIMD) or a multiple instruction multiple data (MIMD) architecture. The single instruction multiple data architecture is the most prevalent version since it is simpler conceptually, however it is limited in terms of application and difficult to use. The more interesting architecture is the multiple instruction and multiple data configuration. The main difficulty in applying this architecture is finding a means of coordinating the various asynchronous processes. This need for coordination brings alone with it a large communications burden. The classification of parallel processors into SIMD and MIMD processors is formal and only hints at how the parallel communications capability of optics might be used.

Abstract:
“I got into architecture because I loved to draw. But now, I spend all day writing.” This statement, spoken by an architect in the twilight of his career, encapsulates the experience of many architects, whose careers often evolve from designing, visualizing, and detailing a project to project management, office manage-ment, and client relations, which require the composition of countless emails, letters, and other forms of written commu¬nication. Technical writing is a critical but underappreciated component of architectural practice, and—correspond¬ingly—it is an undervalued part of architectural education. Gerald Grow argued in “The Writing Problems of Visual Thinkers” that architects think—and therefore write—dif-ferently than the general population. If Grow is correct, should architectural educators not develop a unique peda-gogical approach to teaching architects how to communicate through technical writing? And if so, which pedagogical approach is correct? In The Reflective Practitioner and Educating the Reflective Practitioner, Donald Schön investigated the way that architects and other professionals work through a prob¬lem through a process of testing potential solutions, what Schön called “knowing-in-action,” “reflection-in-action,” and “reflecting on reflection-in-action” (his term for meta-thinking). Because the writing process mirrors the design process in many ways, Schön’s ideas for educating the reflective practitioner should be appropriate for teaching architecture students to write more effectively. This paper analyzes the preliminary introduction of Writing-in-Action during the 2019-20 academic year and fall 2020 semester. The analysis includes three components: 1) an examination of the Writing-in-Action method in a senior-level “bookend” sustainability seminar, 2) an examination of specific Writing-in-Action interventions in a first-year introduction to sustainability course, and 3) a discussion of progress-to-date in a first-year English class taught during the fall 2020 semester.

With the Midterm Report of the Cluster of Excellence “ROOTS - Social, Environmental, and Cultural Connectivity in Past Societies”, we inform you about the first years of the cluster established in 2019. The Midterm Report was prepared under the special conditions of the last pandemic and thus under extraordinary circumstances, which also applies to the first years of our research. Above all, the report gives you a broad impression of the new and interesting research activities of the cluster, which have developed in many ways in our research space. The joint research on past societies is determined by excavations, laboratory work, archival studies and source interpretations. The diversity of the archives – from soil sediments to human skeletons and from architecture to written evidence – is targeted in our six subclusters. Reconstructing the ROOTS of hazards, diet, knowledge, urbanity, inequality, and conflict and conciliation took us to different areas of the world and very different laboratory depths. The joint research on connectivity started from the basic hypothesis that the degree of connectivity within and between societies, but also between societies and the environment, is crucial for the possibilities to develop resilient and sustainable structures. This is where past societies and environments provide us with a mirror for current and future developments.
