Abstract:
This article examines efforts by the John V. Lindsay administration (1966–1973) to deal with the New York City sanitation crisis of the late 1960s and early 1970s. By this period, the Department of Sanitation could barely function in most low-income neighborhoods of New York City, and this resulted in a series of direct and indirect protest actions. The mass media blamed Mayor Lindsay for the situation and characterized him as an ineffectual city manager. This image has persisted with scholars contending that Lindsay never figured out how to run the city government. This article diverges from these accounts and argues that the Lindsay administration actually rebuilt the Department of Sanitation—a city agency that was operationally breaking down before Lindsay became mayor. In fact, the Lindsay administration popularized the notion that a modern city with global aspirations has to meet the basic spatial needs of its residents and that efficient and responsive sanitation delivery can be achieved through the rationalization of resources and services.

Abstract:
Focusing on the collaboration between Mayor John Lindsay and business advocacy group the Association for a Better New York (ABNY), this article illustrates the utility of public and elite anxieties over street crime in legitimizing new, privatized models of urban governance during the early 1970s. ABNY’s privatized crime-fighting initiatives signified a new direction in city law enforcement strategies, a new “common sense” regarding the efficacy and authority of private or voluntarist solutions to urban problems, and proved of lasting significance for labor relations, the regulation of urban space, and the role of the private sector in urban policy. It concludes that, despite their limitations, the visibility of ABNY’s initiatives, their ability to construct a pervasive sense of crisis, and their apparent demonstration of public and elite consent played a significant role in the transformation of New York into the “privatized” or “neoliberal” city of today.

Abstract:
Like the horrifying photographs journalists take of the innocent victims of senseless-seeming wars, the article's lens zeroes in on the destruction of a once highly regarded Manhattan high school whose story needs to be told. The article sheds light on what the NYC Department of Education would like to keep buried, the revelation of a shameful mismanagment of a school community by among other things, a misguided pair of principals assigned during the administration of Mayor Michael Bloomberg. The school - unlike those with more economically priveleged student bodies - was rendered powerless by virtue of its demographics and lack of cultural capital.

Abstract:
The police reforms introduced in New York City by William Bratton are now hailed by Mayor Rudy Giuliani as the epitome of “zero-tolerance” policing, and he credits them for winning dramatic reductions in the city's crime rate. But the number of citizen complaints filed before the Civilian Complaint Review Board has jumped skyward, as has the number of lawsuits alleging police misconduct and abuse offorce. Comparison of crime rates, arrest statistics, and citizen complaints in New York with those in San Diego—where a more problem-oriented community policing strategy has been implemented—gives strong evidence that effective crime control can be achieved while producing fewer negative impacts on urban neighborhoods.

Abstract:
La migración dominicana, como fenómeno social de masa, tiene su origen en la instauración y consolidación de la férrea dictadura (1930-1961) y muerte violenta del dictador Rafael Leonidas Trujillo (30 mayo 1961), la guerra civil e invasión norteamericana de 1965, la apertura de los Estados Unidos a los migrantes no europeos, la llegada y el fortalecimiento en el poder de Joaquín Balaguer (1966-1978), el crecimiento poblacional y la crisis de la industria azucarera en la década de los ochenta El éxodo masivo de los nacionales dominicanos estuvo orientado específicamente hacia Puerto Rico y los Estados Unidos de América, sobre todo hacia la ciudad de New York. Es aquí donde la migración, en cuanto fenómeno dinámico, facilita o hace posible, en un proceso constante de cambios, la transformación del migrante dominicano, quien por encima de la distancia y las fronteras geográficas, logra mantener lazos estrechos con su país de origen, acercándose cada vez más a su tierra natal, raíces, cultura y tradiciones. El Transnacionalismo, pues, lejos de provocar el olvido y el desamor por los suyos y su pequeño terruño, acrecienta, por el contrario, la solidaridad y la dominicanidad.

Su, Linya. "Song of your voices| Violin performance major students' perceptions of their lives in violin learning from childhood to the music schools in New York City." Thesis, Teachers College, Columbia University, 2013. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3588616.

Full text
Abstract:

The purpose of this heuristic study was to explore and describe conservatory-trained violin performance major students' perceptions of their lived experience in violin learning from childhood to the music schools in New York City. The seven participants were undergraduate, graduate-level violin major students selected from the three major music schools in New York City. The primary data was collected via face-to-face audiotaped interviews, which became the narrative data.

The first question addressed students' perceptions of one-to-one violin instruction regarding expectations and values. The findings suggested that (1) autonomous thinking, boosted confidence, and transcultural learning were invaluable gains from instruction; (2) a reciprocal relationship existed between the amount of new ideas gained and one's performance outcome in lessons, which connoted students' recognition of self-responsibility in determining the quality of lessons; and (3) an ideal teacher encourages independent thinking, provides honest feedback, and respects students' individuality.

The second question asked students' perceptions toward power relationship and degree of autonomy in decision-making. The findings suggested that (1) interpretive demands seemed to cause a stronger impact to student-autonomy when compared to repertoire and technique-related demands; and (2) students adopted different reactive patterns and conflict management strategies to deal with conflicts and power struggle in the violin studio.

The third question explored students' perceptions toward the helpfulness of other courses to violin performance. The findings suggested that while all students were adept at independent learning, some students reported music theory/history courses were helpful in empowering interpretive/performance autonomy.

The last question investigated students' perceptions toward the interrelationships among self, music, violin performance, and culture. The findings suggested that (1) students' self-concept of ability in violin playing might be correlated with degree of autonomy and self-perceived technical competency; (2) the meaning of violin performance was to attain self-fulfillment in two domains: personal and social; and (3) performance autonomy might be circumscribed by socio-cultural expectation and economic condition.

This study implies that students' continued participation in violin learning might be influenced by economic concern, competitive environment, and self-concept of ability in violin playing. Violin teachers may need to help students maintain a sound professional development.

At the beginning of the 20th century most Americans died at home from diseases whose onset was quick and aggressive. The average life expectancy was only 50 years. Antibiotics first appeared in the 1940's and when the baby boomers were born medicine entered an unprecedented age of transformation, one where illness could be prevented, treated and cured. Unfortunately, along with this progress have also come slower and often more painful deaths. The most common causes of death today are degenerative diseases such as cancer and heart disease. Thus, it appears that the ability to treat disease has altered medical philosophy from a platform of maintaining health to one of preventing death at almost any cost. It is into this environment that the concept of hospice care has emerged as an alternative way of thinking about death and dying, a reaction to the existing biomedical model of care. Hospice has put a humane focus on dying by creating a setting where pain is managed allowing the patient to move onto the hard work of dying, the psychological and spiritual dimension of the process. While the philosophical concept of hospice developed in the United States during the 1970's the questions surrounding the appropriate hospice environment have not yet been answered successfully This thesis attempts to give form to the notion of hospice. It attempts to create a place where dying exists within the natural processes of life and is celebrated and sanctified as such.

Abstract:
Thesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 1988.
Includes bibliographical references.
The "skyscraper problem" challenged the thought and practice of civic designers and architects prior to World War I. It referred to the incompatibility of City Beautiful principles with economically propelled land development, and to the contradiction between the notion of architecture as an art and the skyscraper's programmatic and technical requirements. Civic designers in New York had difficulty accommodating the skyscraper in their large-scale plans. They also found that it intruded on their vision for the business street, hindered their attempts to plan City Hall Park as New York's civic center, and created a chaotic skyline. Bruce Price, Louis Sullivan, Thomas Hastings, Cyrus L.W. Eidlitz, and other architects suggested alternative proposals for subjecting the skyscraper to the constraints of design . Prior to the design of the Woolworth Building, however, architectural critics did not unanimously endorse any single approach. Frank Woolworth chose a site for his proposed headquarters at the intersection of City Hall Park, New York's civic center, with lower Broadway, the spine of its business district . Woolworth commissioned Cass Gilbert to design the Woolworth Building in 1910. Gilbert shared the City Beautiful vision of McKim, Mead & White and Daniel Burnham. He also accepted the skyscraper's pragmatic requirements. Woolworth intended his headquarters to function as a speculative office building, but also to look like a civic institution. The imagery of a civic institution would represent the capitol of his commercial "empire" as well as display his civic-mindedness, wealth, and cosmopolitanism. The Woolworth Building's siting at New York's civic center, its composition, its arcade, and its sculptural and mural decoration identified it with the prevailing concept of the civic building. The soaring vertical piers of its exterior recalled Gilbert's earlier design for the West Street Building, which was influenced by the functionalist ideas of Louis Sullivan. The Woolworth Building convinced critics that a suitable architectural expression could be found for the skyscraper. Zoning reformers regarded it as a benign skyscraper. Contemporary observers attuned to City Beautiful aesthetic principles thought that the Woolworth Building strengthened the order and image of New York's civic center and enhanced the view of the city from afar.

Abstract:
<p>This project included the construction of a new three-span, 170 m-long steel box girder bridge to replace the existing St. George’s Island Bridge over the Bow River. The new bridge is composed of variable depth (arched), rectangular, steel box girders. Flood resiliency and sustainability were major considerations in the design of the bridge. The girders have a curved profile that allows for the majority of the superstructure to sit at least 1 m above the 1:100 year flood level. To minimize the work required over the river, full-depth, full-width, precast concrete deck panels were used. The panel-to-panel and panel-to-girder connections were made with Ultra-High-Performance Concrete (UHPC). Continuity of bridges with full-depth precast panels is usually provided by longitudinal post-tensioning. This was not preferred due to concerns about future deck rehabilitations. Therefore, the design relies on reinforcement splices for continuity. UHPC made it possible to transfer longitudinal forces in relatively short splice lengths. To verify the efficiency of these connections, some of the panels and connecting joints were instrumented with wireless strain gauges to monitor force transfer between adjacent panels. The paper includes a description of the bridge structure (girders and the precast deck panels) and the initial results of the strain monitoring.</p>

Abstract:
<p>Heavy car traffic on main streets is nowadays a major problem of modern cities. In order to improve safety of pedestrians and cyclists and at the same time maintain fluent car traffic flow, a separation of those two traffic types may be desirable in some cases. This paper presents different possible solutions to this problem implemented in Polish cities.</p><p>Underpasses or footbridges across busy streets in urbanized areas can be an alternative to pedestrian crossings. Footbridges apart from ensuring safe communication, can be attractive architectural elements of urban space. The cable stayed footbridge in Jaworzno will not only facilitate safe pedestrian communication between a large housing estate and a sports hall, but is likely to become a landmark of the city.</p><p>An attractive proposal for pedestrians and cyclists moving along crowded and polluted streets are routes marked out on riverside areas. The footbridges connecting islands on the Odra River in Wrocław not only have enabled efficient communication, but also have changed the islands into easily accessible places of relaxation. Free communication along the river embankments intersected by busy routes can be facilitated by building additional passages under existing bridges. The subject of the competition in Poznań was a footbridge over the Warta River, located close to the historical part of the city. Its implementation, apart from the main function of connecting the university campus with the city centre, will create a great recreational place for students and all citizens.</p><p>An unusual supplement for traditional means of transport in urbanized area can be an aerial tramway line. “Polinka” cable car that connects both parts of the campus of Wrocław University of Science and Technology separated by the Odra River have turned out to be an unconventional and attractive alternative to a typical footbridge.</p>

Abstract:
<p>In urban areas, besides structures such as bridges and buildings, big sculptures are each day more common as major pieces of public art. Although these artworks are not meant to satisfy needs as housing or transport, they play an important role in the city: they are major pieces of art made accessible to everyone that enhance the environment and contribute to the urban planning.</p><p>Major sculptures must withstand the same load types as the rest of the city’s infrastructure, for example strong winds and earthquakes. The analysis of these structures is an unorthodox field for civil engineers where new challenges appear: complex shapes, innovative materials, new fabrication techniques… Moreover, public art is a field that continually evolves. Art and engineering become two aspects of the same creative process and the interaction between professionals is fundamental.</p><p>In this work, several success cases in design, fabrication and installation of artworks by some international artists in inhabited areas all over the world are presented. We reflect on the limits in analysis and design focusing on the limitations imposed by the engineering codes. The search for compromise solutions that produce safe structures that still send the artist’s message is also discussed.</p>

Abstract:
<p>Tropical cyclones are multi‐hazard events capable of simultaneously affecting structures with wind, storm surge and rainfall. In practice, these concurrent hazards are typically treated independently using separate return level curves. Understanding this joint exposure, however, is critical for accurately assessing the structural vulnerability of buildings. We present such an analysis in study by investigating the joint and conditional return periods of two major cyclone hazards—wind and storm surge. To do so, a database of 566 synthetic cyclone events passing within 250 km of The Battery in New York City is first generated. Next, the Holland gradient wind profile and the ADvanced CIRCulation (ADCIRC) hydrodynamic model are used to simulate the maximum wind speed and peak storm tide for each synthetic event respectively. Finally, a bivariate copula is used to statistically estimate the joint and conditional return periods of the two hazards.</p>

Abstract:
In 2006 the Center for Educational Partnerships was established as the “outreach arm” of Fordham University’s Graduate School of Education. In so doing, Fordham reimagined the role of higher education to go beyond degree granting programs, faculty expertise and research opportunities. In this paper, we describe how what began in 2006 as a vision to strengthen the presence of the Graduate School of Education in New York City public schools has grown into a thriving Center that touches the lives of more than 500,000 students in grades Pre‑K to 12, thousands of teachers, and hundreds of administrators and parents throughout New York City. We outline how each phase of Fordham’s involvement and work developed during New York City’s major educational reform agenda, resulting from the New York State Legislature’s granting the City’s Major control of New York City’s 1,500 public schools in 2002.

Abstract:
<p>In 2003, a major collapse occurred during construction of a parking garage at the Tropicana Hotel in Atlantic City, New Jersey. It resulted in four fatalities, dozens of injured workers, and significant delays to the construction project. The legal matter was eventually settled out of court, reportedly for $100 million US dollars.</p><p>The author led the structural investigation into the collapse on behalf of the General Contractor. The investigation included numerous site visits, preservation of structural evidence, review of design drawings and contractor’s shop drawings, structural analyses, and litigation support.</p><p>The concrete parking garage was being constructed with a proprietary structural floor system, which involved “stay‐in‐place” precast concrete forms that became composite with the cast‐in‐place concrete slabs and wide beams.</p><p>The investigation presented significant challenges due to the intertwined design responsibilities for the system, the difficulty of preserving perishable evidence during the demolition of the unstable structure, the high‐profile nature of the collapse, and the diverse interests of the many involved parties.</p><p>The matter settled out of court, so the results of technical investigations and the lessons learned have not been widely disseminated previously.</p><p>This paper will describe the engineering investigation and findings, discuss the roles and responsibilities of the designers and others, and present recommendations to reduce future failures of similarly organized projects.</p>

Abstract:
<p>The inauguration of the Great Western Railway, the line connecting London and Bristol (United Kingdom, approximately 450 000 inhabitants), in 1840 changed part of the outskirts of Bristol to a major railway hub and home of many rail‐related activities. Due to these activities, an area behind the station in between the railway, the River Avon and the Bath road, known at the time as Temple Island, was restricted to rail uses (workshops, depots or goods, engines and carriage sheds) for more than 150 years, making it inaccessible and unattractive as the railway use decreased.</p><p>The transformation of this area into a new neighborhood in the city center is one of the most important urban development projects currently being carried out in Bristol. The new St Philips footbridge spans the River Avon, contributing to accessibility to the site. The footbridge is an innovative solution to a complex crossing problem: the connection of two banks with a significant elevation difference, and development planned for only one of them in the immediate future. The design should be appropriate for the current site and the future scenario.</p><p>The bridge is a 50m‐span and 4‐m wide steel beam with a forked geometry, seamlessly hosting a ramp for disabled and cyclists and a staircase to maximise functionality. The design approach to generate its shape was at the same time structural, aesthetical, and functional. Thanks to this holistic design approach, the bridge is compact, simple, elegant, and clearly legible for both footbridge and river path users.</p>

Abstract:
<p>The use of mass timber as a structural element is not a new phenomenon. For example, within almost every major city in the world, there are upscale enclaves centered around the adaptive reuse of factories and warehouses from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These former industrial structures are almost always constructed from masonry and mass timber.</p><p>Within the past decade, the building industry has seen a renewed interest in mass timber structures. This resurgence has been fueled by several trends, including the mass production of Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) and a growing awareness of mass timber’s sustainable advantages. A number of high-profile heavy timber structures have found commercial success in the United States and abroad. Leading architectural practices such as Skidmore Owings &amp; Merrill (SOM) have used research initiatives like the Timber Tower Research Project to jump-start a fertile debate within the design industry. On the demand side, building owners have pushed the design community to find innovative ways to incorporate mass timber into their projects.</p><p>This interest has often driven designers and builders to aggressively distinguish their projects from predecessors, pushing for pure mass timber structures while giving less consideration to hybrid structures (mass timber and masonry/concrete structures). This bias towards material purity risks ignoring important lessons from the past and may in some cases lead to inefficient structural choices and structures with less durability and sustainability than their hypothetical hybrid counterparts.</p><p>This paper posits that some of the energy generated by a resurgence in mass timber construction would be well spent on understanding, celebrating, and rediscovering the elegance and importance of hybrid structures.</p>

Abstract:
Major metropolitan centers experience challenges during management of peak electrical loads, typically occurring during extreme summer events. These peak loads expose the reliability of the electrical grid and customers may incur in additional charges for peak load management in regulated demand-response markets. This opens the need for the development of analytical tools that can inform building managers and utilities about near future conditions so they are better able to avoid peak demand charges, reducing building operational costs. In this article, we report on a tool and methodology to forecast peak loads at the City Scale using New York City (NYC) as a test case. The city of New York experiences peak electric demand loads that reach up to 11 GW during the summertime, and are projected to increase to over 12 GW by 2025, as reported by the New York Independent System Operator (NYISO). The forecast is based on the Weather Research and Forecast model version 3.5, coupled with a building environment parameterization and building energy model. Urban morphology parameters are assimilated from the New York Primary Land Use Tax Lot Output (PLUTO), while the weather component of the model is initialized daily from the North American Mesoscale (NAM) model. A city-scale analysis is centered in the summer months of June-July 2015 which included an extreme heat event (i.e. heat wave). The 24-hr city-scale weather and energy forecasts show good agreement with the archived data from both weather stations records and energy records by NYISO.

Abstract:
As cities have begun to implement greenhouse gas initiatives, one technology that has become of interest is building level combined heat and power (CHP). In New York City, over two thirds of greenhouse gas emissions are attributed to buildings. As space heating is the major end use of building energy consumption in the Northeast, building level CHP systems have the potential to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions especially since many buildings utilize fuel oil to fire boilers for space heating. While distributed CHP has potential to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, this statement is quite dependent on the current types and efficiencies of generators used to supply electricity. In New York State, approximately 50% of electricity is produced from nuclear and hydro power plants with the majority of the remainder supplied by simple and combined cycle gas turbines. Only 1% of electricity is supplied by less efficient oil power plants. In the current work we seek to determine how the emissions benefits of distributed generation change with increasing penetration of CHP systems (up to 1.58 GW of aggregated capacity) considering the current mix of electricity generation capacity in New York State. The analysis indicates while there are emissions reductions for all scenarios the impact reduces on the order of 400 metric tons per MWe.
