Abstract:

Recent research claim that adopting green roof systems in building sectors in the Arab region is becoming necessary because of the current environmental, social, and economical challenges. Some Arab countries have already developed green building rating systems and recognized the importance of green roofs; however, they still do not fully benefit from such systems owing to limited supporting policies and financial incentives. The purpose of this article is to contribute to a better understanding of the potential role of green roof systems in effective planning and moving towards sustainable urban development in the Arab region. We argue that integrating green roof systems within governmental policies and green building strategies would potentially help in saving energy, enhancing water management, and coping with climate change. This paper presents a conceptual framework to help governments in the Arab region to adopt green roofs in their environmental policies. To present this framework; first, we studied the current international policies that adopt green roof systems and practices, then proposed a conceptual framework for adopting green roof systems in the Arab region. Second, we have chosen Cairo, Egypt, and Amman, Jordan from the Arab region to demonstrate the applicability of this framework at city level while considering the national and local context. This demonstration provides a novel perspective for the benefits of green roof systems in energy savings and water management in the Arab region.

Abstract:

Movable engineering structures are an important topic of modern scientific issues connected with civil engineering. Working on solutions to these issues requires an interdisciplinary action in fields such as geometry, construction, machine theory and mechanics or automatics. The author work considers class II mechanisms in existing solutions that occur in moving engineering, such as retractable roofs and bridges. Movement realization has a major influence on the behaviour of the structure during displacement. The analysis of the movability of existing engineering objects supported by parametric modelling facilitates the study of movement and allows for new concepts of solutions. KEYWORDS: retractable roof, movable bridge, class II mechanisms, quadrangles.

Abstract:

During the daily sun cycle, the falling rays are of varying intensity on the solar panel reducing the energy generated from it. This is evident in the energy production of solar panels that are installed on the slanted surfaces of homes scattered in the rain regions of the world. In this research, the reasons for the low efficiency of energy production of solar panels that are installed on the A-frame designs of homes were studied and solved. The design of an integrated tracking system is developed based on fuzzy logic control using an open source code that can be easily modified. The performance and characteristics of the solar tracking device are tested experimentally to test its suitability for use with slanted roofs homes. The integrated solar localization system offers economical and efficient solar monitoring, as well as open source programming, which allows for future improvements and changes. In addition, the single-axis fuzzy tracking system was good for moving both panels in less than five seconds towards the sun. The adoption of the proposed design provides an extremely accurate tracking system and therefore, maximizes the potential of power generated by the solar panel since it will meet the sun's rays from dawn to dusk. The economic effect of the proposed design is to approximately double the value of electrical power received compared to the fixed design.

Abstract:

The present work aims to exemplify a renewable and sustainable energy source as such the energy from sunlight to drive mobile coverage as a clean source of energy that does not cause damage to the environment, taking advantage of solar energy as a source of heat and light being one of the most propitious and reliable energies in the world. With the installation of solar panels at the roof top of houses, industries and plantations, the energy captured by the photovoltaic solar panel is sent to the load controller that powers the battery and the frequency inverter energizes the motor , allowing the activation of the cover with the objective of bringing greater comfort and satisfaction of our final client, people who want to have comfort in relation to their roofs, taking advantage of more than nature has to offer us, not only in homes but also in areas of leisure and entertainment, sheds, plantations and many other places that needs a roof, with the purpose of taking advantage of the sunlight, also saving the electric energy by making people aware of a more sustainable and renewable country. It is worth mentioning that in case of rain-sensitive plantations with the mobile cover, it will not be necessary to move to totally enclosed sheds, but in sheds using a structure such as that of the moving roof

Abstract:

July 2007. Hundreds of Central American migrants were camped along the railway tracks in Arriaga, Chiapas waiting to for the freight train to leave. Some were eating, perhaps their last food for days, others had bottles of water tied across their shoulders, some attempted to rest under the train cars to escape the hot sun. One young man brushed his teeth under the trees, using the water he carried in a recycled coca-cola bottle, to prepare himself for the journey ahead. Arriaga, a town of 25,000 people, is split in half by the train tracks. The town's tiny plaza, with a small playground, fondas (eateries), and a railway museum, sits on one side of the tracks. The town's church and market lie on the other. These Central American migrants in Arriaga, some 150 miles from Mexico's southern border with Guatemala, were eager to jump the freight train to continue their journey north to the United States. The train had not left Arriaga for a full week and many were desperate as they felt trapped. Their preparations underscored the dangers and harshness of the trip. They would have to hold on to the train for hours and days at a time, riding on ladders and the roofs of tank cars. Those who fall asleep and lose their grip risk death or severe injury, such as dismemberment.

Abstract:

Architecture in Northern Ireland in the twentieth century followed much the same pattern as elsewhere in the British Isles moving, broadly, from historic styles around the turn of the century, through a phase of Arts and Crafts activity for a decade or so, until settling down to a concentrated period of interest in Neo-Georgian styling in the 1920s and '30s. This inter-war era included, however, some examples of Modernism, primarily of an ornamented Art Deco type but occasionally of a more plain variety which ranged between Functionalism and the International Style. Examples of this type of modern architecture – characterised by flat roofs, white walls, large horizontal windows and a general avoidance of ornamentation – formed only a comparatively small part of the overall output of the period in Northern Ireland, and, for most architects who were involved, their contribution amounted to little more than a building or two; such was the prevailing tradition-bound architectural mood of the time.One architect in Northern Ireland, however, demonstrated a commitment to the Modern Movement that appears to have been greater than most. That was Philip Bell, whose name has been mentioned from time to time by various commentators, whether as a designer of Modernist houses or as the architect of one other particularly well-known building of the 1930s in Northern Ireland, the Strangford Lough Yacht Club House, which was an accomplished and stylish enough building to have been featured in the English architectural press at the time.

Abstract:

We study a class of pedestrian evacuation process in rooms without visibility by analytical and simulative methods. First, the moving distance of pedestrians for leaving the rooms is analyzed using the mean and variance theory. A microscopic pedestrian model is then extended to simulate pedestrian evacuation in the rooms. By numerical examples, the distributions of single individual’s evacuation efficiency in the rooms and the improvement by increasing the number of exits for the individual’s evacuation efficiency are demonstrated. Pedestrians’ moving distances obtained by analytical and simulative methods are also compared. The study is helpful for assessing the efficiency of evacuation and the safety of buildings under conditions of invisibility.

Abstract:

This paper considers nonstationary fractional autoregressive integrated moving-average (p,d,q) models with the fractionally differencing parameter d ∈ (− 1/2,1/2) and the autoregression function with roots on or outside the unit circle. Asymptotic inference is based on the conditional sum of squares (CSS) estimation. Under some suitable conditions, it is shown that CSS estimators exist and are consistent. The asymptotic distributions of CSS estimators are expressed as functions of stochastic integrals of usual Brownian motions. Unlike results available in the literature, the limiting distributions of various unit roots are independent of the parameter d over the entire range d ∈ (− 1/2,1/2). This allows the unit roots and d to be estimated and tested separately without loss of efficiency. Our results are quite different from the current asymptotic theories on nonstationary long memory time series. The finite sample properties are examined for two special cases through simulations.

Abstract:

Romano and Kachgal argue for greater collaboration between counseling psychology and school counseling. Although their proposal has considerable merit, a variety of barriers to collaboration—including professional jealousies and turf, the lack of knowledge and interest of most counseling psychologists in schools, and the availability of benefits to sustain the partnership for all parties—must be addressed. We argue that adopting shared conceptual frameworks that return to and extend the roots of both disciplines is needed to foster and sustain the proposed partnership. Three conceptual models are presented.

Abstract:

Anxiety and depressive symptoms are common in hospitalized patients. Arts and cultural programs were reported to enhance their quality of life. The Le Louvre à l’hôpital study presents a new approach in which the museum moves to the hospital by displaying and discussing artworks with patients interactively. Over one year, four large statues were disposed in the hospital gardens, 30 reprints of large painting were exhibited in the hospital hall, dining rooms, and circulations areas. A total of 83 small-group guided art discussions (90 min) were organized, which 451 patients attended. The 200 small-size reproductions of paintings placed in the patients’ rooms were chosen based on their individual preferences. Decreased anxiety after the art sessions was reported by 160 of 201 patients (79.6%). Out of 451 patients, 406 (90%) said the art program had met their expectations, and 372 (82.4%) wished to continue the experience with caregivers (162 paramedics trained for art activity during 66 workshops). In conclusion, moving the museum to the hospital constitutes a valuable way to provide art activities for inpatients in large numbers, which may reduce hospital-related anxiety in many instances.

Abstract:

Consider an autoregressive-moving-average process of given order where it is known that a number of moving-average roots are of unit modulus. Such a situation might arise, for example, when a time series has been differenced to induce stationarity by removing a non-stationary polynomial or seasonal trend. A band-limited spectral estimation procedure is proposed for estimating the coefficients of such a process and the asymptotic properties of the estimators investigated. The asymptotic theory is illustrated with reference to simulated and real data. A preliminary investigation of the use of Akaike's AIC criterion and this procedure to determine the number of roots of unit modulus (in the case where this is unknown) is also carried out by means of simulation.The proposed band-limited spectral estimation procedure can also be used to take account of other possible effects met in practice. These include, for example, the band-limited response of a recording device or trend-contaminated low-frequency components.

Abstract:

The surface of bean roots demonstrates an intense peroxidase activity which was detected by hydrogen peroxide dependent formation of chromogen from chloronaphthol or dianisidine. Other peroxidase functions, oxidation of indoleacetic acid and NADPH, were catalysed by intact roots and were stimulated by Mn2+ and p-coumarate. Oxidation of NADPH involved superoxide anion [Formula: see text] and hydrogen peroxide formation. Molecular sizing chromatography of root washes demonstrated NADPH oxidase and peroxidase to be associated with higher weight components than indoleacetic acid oxidase. Root surface and root wash peroxidase displayed optimal activity between pH 7 and 8, whereas both sources of indoleacetic acid oxidase were more active at acidic pH. Native poly aery lamide gel electrophoresis of sterile root washes displayed two fast-moving anodic bands, whereas homogenates of the plant roots had several slower moving bands in addition.

Abstract:

In the early stages of research into the life of my great-great-grandfather, George Graham, I have repeatedly come across scraps of his life story relating to trees in various central city locations in Auckland, New Zealand, locations now abutting and on the university campus at which I work. These trees and places directly link me with George in powerful ways, becoming channels into affective responses of pride and excitement that also connect me viscerally to George’s role in the colonization of Auckland and dispossession of Māori. Here, I explore these affective states and the ways they provoke my thinking about being a descendant of settler colonizers and about my relation to my settler homeland. These material connections to colonial history “thicken” my relationship to Auckland and to the colonial story, and I use these experiences to point to the possibility of a different, “alter-colonial” form of settler relation to place.

Abstract:

The indoor thermal comfort is the basic thing for each and every occupant, not only in tropical areas but also all over the world. It is necessary to make an energy efficient roof design and to improve the indoor condition of the building. This paper is focused on the roof design to develop the ventilation system so as to obtain low attic temperature without effecting the environment and keep the interior of the building cool. In the present study, four identical roof models were fabricated to carry out laboratory tests to evaluate their performances. In the roof models, aluminum (Al) tubes were used as a moving-air path (MAP) which acts as a ventilation channel. These channels allows the natural ventilation to take out hot air to the outside. In addition, an insulation layer and ventilation fans were integrated with the Al tubes to get better performance. For the combination of those features, the results revealed that the attic temperature was reduced remarkably, compared to the ordinary roof model. This comprehensive roof model will be the most suitable to the environment and applicable for its improved performance.

Abstract:

This article challenges the binary framework within which women in Pakistan have been viewed, by political actors, the state, and more broadly as well, as either ‘secular/feminist/godless/westernized’ or ‘authentic/Islamic/traditional’. It begins by contextualizing the geneology of this binary in Pakistan’s colonial and political history, which has led to the state’s side-lining of moderate religious voices and promotion of right-wing religious parties that suited its political objectives. Even the scholarship produced by the women’s movement, which arose in response to a politicized Islamization process begun under military rule in the 1980s, inadvertently reproduces this binary as activists sought to assert a rights-based agenda and were supported by international donor funds. A shift in recent years in response to west-based international scholarship post 9/11, which focusses on the subjectivity and organization of Islamist women, has influenced work on women in Pakistan as well as a donor turn to funding faith-based initiatives. The paper then examines current gender justice movements that emerged independently at a grass-roots level, and draws attention to their effectiveness despite lack of strong linkages with either the women’s movement or Islamist women. These include rights-based mobilizations by peasant women, community health workers, tribal women in the Taliban/conflict-affected north-west, and transgender activism. It ends by challenging feminists to engage more deeply with these forms of activism.

Abstract:

During the Renaissance, the theory of algebraic equations developed in Europe. It is about finding a solution to the equation of the formanxn + . . . + a1x + a0 = 0,represented by coefficients subject to algebraic operations and roots of any degree. In the 16th century, algorithms for the third and fourth-degree equations appeared. Only in the nineteenth century, a similar algorithm for thehigher degree was proved impossible. In (Cardano, 1545) described an algorithm for solving third-degree equations. In the current version of this algorithm, one has to take roots of complex numbers that even Cardano didnot know.This work proposes an algorithm for solving third-degree algebraic equations using only algebraic operations on real numbers and elementary functions taught at High School.

Abstract:

The design of new hospital inpatient rooms is moving towards private (single occupancy) rooms. These rooms are generally preferred by patients and they may improve patient care, but they are more expensive to build and to staff than semi-private rooms. The question of their societal worth is important because hospitals are expensive, long-term investments and, once built, are prohibitively expensive to change. This paper presents a benefit-cost analysis of private rooms versus semi-private rooms in a proposed new hospital. We estimate that the net social benefit of a bed in a private room is about $70,000 more than a bed in a semi-private room.

Abstract:

In the inter-war period, progressive architects confronted the building of mass housing with an analogy with rational and functional workplaces. At the 2nd CIAM (Congrès Internationaux d’Architecture Moderne), held in Frankfurt in 1929, this was tested against the formulation of space standards for a vital minimum, in order to increase the quantity of housing and reduce construction costs. This approach presumed the search for optimal living conditions and hygiene. The analogy with the world of work is particularly striking in the case of design of kitchens, removable furniture and storage spaces to maximize the use of space. In rational—and above all minimum—housing, the size of the rooms mainly depends on the size of the furniture. In this perspective, today in Switzerland new housing projects face the same issues, caused by a housing shortage that has plagued the country in the last decades. This suggests that Existenzminimum is still current for contemporary design.

Abstract:

This article reviews an emerging area of research within economics that seeks to better understand contemporary economic outcomes by taking a historical perspective. The field has established that many of the contemporary differences in comparative economic development have their roots in the distant past. The insights gained from this literature are not only of academic importance but also useful for thinking about policies that help to address global development moving forward. I provide examples of recent studies that have begun to take on this important next step in the literature by using insights gleaned from historical analyses to better understand policy and its optimal design.

Abstract:

In this article we present a new method for computing the theoretical autocovariance function of an autoregressive moving average model. The importance of our theorem is that it yields two interesting results: First, a closed-form solution is derived in terms of the roots of the autoregressive polynomial and the parameters of the moving average part. Second, a sufficient condition for the lack of model redundancy is obtained.

Abstract:

While conventional studies of electoral populism acknowledge that such mobilizations are linked tosignificant economic crises, their preoccupation with defining what exactly populism is often leads them to downplay the unified structural roots of different sorts of populistmobilizations. Thisessaypresents the beginnings of an alternative framework for the study of electoral populism that draws on the neo-Gramscian theory of political articulation that links studies of global economic crises with conventional theories of populism.While crisesare an endemic feature of global capitalism, their political manifestation is shaped bythe variedinstitutional structures and legacies in which they are translated.

Abstract:

AbstractIt has been argued that rapid membership turnover in the Canadian House of Commons robs the institution of a dedicated and experienced group of MPs and produces a Parliament stocked with political amateurs. Both electoral defeat and voluntary retirement have been seen to play a role in the amateurism phenomenon. The authors explore the roots of amateurism and critically examine the argument that a frustrating career structure in the House of Commons encourages voluntary vacancies. Using a random sample of former MPs, the authors find support for both a “frustration” and an “exhaustion” model of career choice. The article concludes that while amateurism—in the sense of short political careers—may be problematic, not all MPs are amateurs and the problem of amateurism cannot be addressed simply by satisfying frustrated ambition.

Abstract:

In this paper, we consider the dynamic Voronoi diagram problem. In this problem, a given set of planar points are moving and our objective is to find the Voronoi diagram of these moving points at any time t. A preprocessing algorithm and a query processing algorithm are presented in this paper. Assume that the points are in k-motion, and it takes O(k) time to find roots of a polynomial with degree O(k). The preprocessing algorithm takes O(k2n3 log n · 2O(α(n)5k+1)) time to process moving functions of given points, and uses O(k2n32O(α(n)5k+1)) space to store the preprocessing result where α(n) is the functional inverse of Ackermann's function. The query processing algorithm is designed to report the Voronoi diagram of these points for a query time t. It takes O(n) time which is optimal.

Abstract:

Abstract Over the past few decades, practical theologians in Korea have devised a framework to address important issues, correlating theory and practice and bridging the divide between pastors and lay people to facilitate open communication. However, the clerical paradigm has deep roots in Korean culture and ideology, which, combined with the Confucian patriarchal system, poses a challenge to Korean practical theology. These factors cause practical theology to reflect on its limitations and to move toward a hermeneutical-praxis paradigm by dealing with Christian praxis, connecting church with society for public responsibility, and providing an egalitarian leadership between pastors and lay people.

Abstract:

A root washer was constructed which rapidly separated Canada thistle [Cirsium arvense (L.) Scop. # CIRAR] roots larger than 1.3-mm diam with 96% or greater efficiency from cohesive clay soil. The washer removed 93 ± 15% of 43 200 cm clay soil from Canada thistle roots in 2 h. Small residual soil clods and organic debris were removed by hand after washing. The washing action did not damage the root system. From 4 to 6 h were required to wash the large Canada thistle roots from an equivalent volume of clay soil by hand, without using the washer. Rhizomes, seeds, and tubers also may be separated from soil with the washer. The tank and frame of this washer are durable, and moving parts such as bearings can be replaced easily.

Abstract:

Peronospora tabacina is an obligate plant pathogen that causes downy mildew disease on several species of Nicotiana, including N. tabacum (tobacco). The primary objective of this study was to use gnotobiotic associations to describe interactions between the pathogen and roots of either N. tabacum (cv. KY14) or N. repanda. We found that the pathogen was capable of moving systemically from shoots to roots of both host species and emerged from the root tissues as hyphae. We also demonstrated that root-associated hyphae were infectious on roots of nearby plants and resulted in new systemic infections. Following overnight darkness, sporulation of the pathogen was observed on infected roots exposed to air on both host species. We also found that within 2 months in culture, structures resembling resting stages of Peronospora tabacina were produced on hyphae emerging from roots of N. repanda but not N. tabacum. These findings appear relevant to both the epidemiology of the disease and to future studies of this and other downy mildew pathosystems.

Abstract:

In this paper, we use knots with bands ("kwb") to define a calculus for smoothly embedded surfaces in 4-space. This approach has its roots in the classical method of moving pictures of hyperplane slices, and thus shares its simplicity and naturality. Unlike moving pictures, however, kwb are combinatorial knotlike objects in 3-space (which can, in turn, be represented by planar diagrams), and a set of three simple combinatorial moves is sufficient to connect the kwb representing isotopic surfaces. Thus we obtain a one-to-one correspondence between isotopy classes of embedded surfaces and certain kwb modulo these moves, answering a question first posed in 1994 by Katsuyuki Yoshikawa.

Abstract:

The author presents how Russia's struggle to find its new identity in the aftermath of Communism's collapse is analogous to America's historical experience of drawing on religious and cultural roots in moving toward democracy. By rediscovering religion and forming voluntary cultural organizations, the Russians are patterning the evolution of the American democracy. Billington highlights Mikhail Gorbachev's crucial role in the early stages of the process. Noting the American experience in dealing with diversity, he notes the central role this experience can play in dealing with “a global process that… is moving forward to democratization and back to religion,” which is where the previously irreconcilable “Slavophile-Westernizer polarity” tends to converge.

Abstract:

The indexing and tracking of objects moving in indoor spaces has increasingly become an important area of research, which presents a fundamentally different challenge. There are two main reasons for why indoor should be treated as cellular space. Firstly, an indoor space has entities, such as rooms and walls, that constrain the movement of the moving objects. Secondly, the relevant notion of locations of an object is cell based rather than an exact Euclidean coordinate. As a solution, in our earlier works, we proposed a cell-based indexing structure, called the C-tree, for indexing objects moving in indoor space. In this paper, we extend the C-tree to solve another interesting problem. It can be observed that many indoor spaces (such as shopping centers) contain wings/sections. For such a space, there are queries for which the wing/section location of an object, rather than the cellular location, is the relevant answer (e.g., “the object is in the east wing”). In this paper, we propose a new index structure, called the GMI-tree (“GMI” stands for “Graph-based Multidimensional Index”). The GMI-tree is based on two notions of distance, or equivalently, two notions of adjacency: one represents horizontal adjacency and the other represents vertical adjacency.
