Abstract:
The history of the building of the Gothic Revival library and adjoining lobby and staircase in Stowe House, Buckinghamshire, from 1805 to 1807 by John Soane is discussed in detail following a sequence established by the drawings for the commission and corroborated by letters, accounts, and office records in manuscript. These documents, for the most part preserved in the Sir John Soane Museum, London, have not previously been examined or published in detail in connection with the building, and they allow a very close demonstration of the working of the Soane office. The importance of the Stowe library in Soane's oeuvre is suggested by reference to his earlier and his later works. Though he is generally considered to have been unhappy or unfortunate in his Gothic Revival work, it is argued here that this commission allowed free rein to the expression of his artistic personality and is a notable example of successful historicism. It is further argued that in its close fidelity to the historical model chosen, the Chapel of King Henry VII in Westminster Abbey, the Stowe library represents the culmination of a trend in architectural design that originated with Horace Walpole and was of the first importance to the pioneers of the Gothic Revival, especially of Soane's early patron and friend, Thomas Pitt, Lord Camelford, who had designed the house at Stowe. This commission deserves far greater attention, therefore, than it has received hitherto in the literature of the Gothic Revival. Finally, the iconographical justification of the choice of style and the appropriateness of the model selected by Soane and the Marquis of Buckingham is established by reference to the publications of the antiquary Thomas Astle, whose manuscript collection was to be housed in the new library.

Abstract:
In the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, country-house tourism became increasingly popular in England. By 1770, hundreds of tourists were visiting the country’s greatest estates every summer. The nature of the attraction varied from house to house. Some, such as Kedleston Hall and Stowe, were considered ‘elegant’ modern buildings, while others, such as Blenheim Palace, were already seen as historical sites. Although country-house visiting as a concept dated back to the seventeenth century, there had never been so many tourists, nor such a variety of them. While one needed to be relatively wealthy and genteel in order to travel and gain admission to great houses, tourists included not only those who had their own estates but also those who could only be spectators. Early country-house tourists have been examined by a number of historians, but the ways in which the houses themselves were presented have hitherto been little studied. A better understanding of this manner of presentation illuminates the nature of tourists’ experiences and how the country house itself began to be identified as an attraction during this period. In essence, in an effort to cope with the influx of visitors, country-house owners began to formalize the terms under which their estates were open to the public. As part of this process, houses were metaphorically ‘remade’ in order to function as tourist attractions as well as private residences. It was not enough for owners simply to allow entry. They had to decide what would be shown to visitors, and how to provide visitors with information about the house and its contents. At first, these problems were solved by instructing housekeepers to guide visitors, but, as certain houses became exceptionally popular, a new practice developed: publishing guidebooks. This article considers the methodologies by which the interior spaces of country houses were remade in guidebooks (a type of re-presentation that can still be observed in many properties that are open to the public today), as well as the effects of this process.

Abstract:
The Paiwan, an Austronesian-speaking ethnic group, are one of sixteen Aborigines of Taiwan. This is an essay about the ethnography of traditional houses of the Paiwan. This is an essay about the ethnography of traditional houses of the Paiwan. I will describe structures, functions and construction process of traditional houses, and discuss briefly the social process and cultural meanings of houses. I have argued in an earlier paper that the Paiwan is a ‘house-based society’, in which social and cultural reproduction are bound up with the reproduction of houses. The goal of marriage is the mission of reproduction, and the ideal conjugal relationship is the one in which the couple share a common devotion to the reproduction of the house they created. In this paper I reconsider this point of view, and I propose that the parent-child relationship and the siblingship in the family are equally important. Because the traditional houses of the Paiwan are made of stone slabs, the process of making houses is quite long. In contrast, marriage may be short-lived and fragile. Even when the marriage relationship is terminated due to divorce, the process of building and maintaining a house will not stop, and this motivation could be maintained by the parent-child relationship and the siblingship.

Abstract- Arabian came to Indonesia to trade and spread Islam in Indonesia. They came by sea or river. Then they stayed and grew a family with locals on an area. That area became a settlement in a form of a village that known as Arabian Village. One of the famous Arabian Villages is Al-Munawar Arabian Village in Palembang. Al-Munawar Arabian Village is the oldest village in Palembang. This village is still preserve its relics and culture nowadays. One of its remaining relics is eight buildings that decided as heritage buildings. These 8 buildings have their own unique hundreds of year historical background. Three buildings out of eight buildings are picked as object of research.These buildings are land house. These houses adapted Palembang architectural style, which is pyramid house. Land house has “kekijing” in front of its house. Kekijing is a floor with ± 30-40cm terraces. Each step of floor illustrates the depth of faith. The division of land house room follows the division of Islamic residential space. The second building is stone house with Indian architectural style. The wall thickness of this house is ± 37cm. Stone house has an increase of ± 60 cm from ground level. The floor material uses tiles imported directly from Italy. The division of stone house room also follows the division of Islamic residential space. The third building is greenhouse. Greenhouse is a residential home that has changed its function to islamic school with the same shape. This house consists of two floors, the first floor uses brick wall and the second floor uses wooden wall. The division of greenhouse room doesn’t follow the division of Islamic residential space because the building is not a residential house anymore.It’s important to study the cultural heritage buildings in this village. Considering the number of villages and traditional buildings that forgotten because of the modernization. Furthermore, there are few abandoned traditional houses and changed its shape and material became more modern.The purpose of this study is to know the shape, room and the order of the house in Al-Munawar Arabian Village on the Palembang Musi River bank.This is so that traditional buildings in the village will not extinct and become learning materials for all people.The method used is qualitative method. If judged based on the purpose of the research is descriptive research. The data collecting technique are literature study, field observation and interview to the head of neighborhood in the village. This research shows that style of a building and the material that used on the objects of research are different. In addition, the division of residential space such as stone house and greenhouses are still using the division of Islamic residential space, while the greenhouse is no longer. Key Words: Arabic village Palembang, Al-Munawar village, form, space and order.

Abstract:
The main considerations of building some new-type rural houses in Yinchuan are to improve indoor thermal environment and to reduce heating energy consumption by passive solar use and high-insulation envelope. Two houses were measured, a traditional one with adobe walls and a wooden roof, and a newly-built one with straw-bale insulation. Results show: (1) the linear layout of the traditional house leads to a higher heating energy consumption than the new one with climatic buffers; (2) the new house with straw-bale bricks have better thermal insulation performance than the traditional one with adobe wall; (3) lacking thermal storage is one of the main causes of larger indoor temperature fluctuation in the new house; (4) as a traditional partial interval heating mode, the “Kang”(a bed-stove made of bricks or fired clay) in the bedroom uses energy efficiently and improves the indoor thermal comfort.

Abstract:
Lamu is a living town off the Kenya coast. It was recently nominated to the World Heritage List. The town has been relatively undisturbed by colonization and modernization. This study reports on the early Swahili dwelling, which is still a functioning type in Lamu. It commences with a brief historical perspective of Lamu in its Swahili and East African coastal setting. It compares descriptions of the Lamu house, as found in literature, with personal observations and field surveys, including a short description of construction methods. The study offers observations on conservation and the current state of the Lamu house. It is concluded with a comparison between Lamu and Stone Town, Zanzibar, in terms of house types and settlement patterns. We found that the Lamu house is the stage for Swahili ritual and that the ancient and climatically uncomfortable plan form has been retained for nearly a millennium because of its symbolic value.

Since 1950 the average US home has grown from 1100 square feet to over 2600 square feet. During this same period the average family size shrunk by a person, meaning that per capita residential square footage has more than tripled in less than 60 years. What's more, if one looks at residential storage capacity as an indicator of consumption, its notable that the average citizen has 830% more storage space today than they did in the fifties. Paradoxically, in the last decade other forms of ownership have lost favor. The appetite for conventional ownership has been, in part, supplanted by a disinterest in maintenance and responsibility. Subscription services have begun to replace the conventional retail transaction. At first people rented the intangible and ephemeral but in the last few years they have begun renting things that would have seemed technologically impossible, or at a minimum improbable, ten years ago. This new mode of collective ownership represents a societal shift that architecture is lagging behind. This thesis aspires to use the spatial generosity of storage and the burgeoning sharing economy to re-imagine a suburb that promotes the sharing of rarely used objects & spaces amongst neighbors to foster community and reduce consumption.

Abstract:
The architect operates in both physical and spatial media. When in the presence of architectural form, an observer exists within the volume defined by surface and within the context of constructive material. At once the presence of architecture is imbued through spatial awareness, texture, sound, weight, light, shadow; material and volume modulate the senses to create the architectural experience. Montessori education is a pedagogy based on the development of a child's natural curiosity and intuition. The Guides lead rather than teach, encouraging the student to explore through activity. The student's intuitive exploration cannot be dictated or controlled by environment; the architect's role in education, therefore, is to work within his or her craft to create an "experiential architecture", one that utilizes the context of pedagogy, site, and material to develop a series of spaces to inspire within the individual a feeling unique to each. The architect must understand the nature of material, the way in which it wants to be used, to create an experience in which the architecture speaks of its making. The craft of building, then, becomes an architectural experience operating alongside the art of spatial composition. This school is the vehicle for exploring the dialogue between the spatiality and materiality of architecture.

the work that follows is a study in material and the nature of its construction. i chose a site that was rich in tradition of building, but chose to not mimic tradition. the arctic circle of norway has a tradition of stone and wood construction. the remote qualities of the site lead me to choose a house, of local stone and wood. the extreme conditions of the environment posed the challenges in design and construction. i did not test the limits of the stone, but let the stone do what is natural to it. i chose not to force the stone to be anything other than itself, and working with these natural tendencies to make the decisions of construction.

Abstract:

Many archaeologists have been intrigued by how often symbolic houses of varying forms are used on the burialgrounds of the Scandinavian Bronze Age. Some scholars even claim that to deal with the dead did not mean to set them apart from the world of the living during this period. Since several examples show that there seem to be an active connection between the ship-setting and different types of symbolic houses, this study seek to demonstrate and interpret how the ideology behind these symbols vary between three regionally different Swedish areas: Halland, Småland and Gotland. The purpose is to show that the way chosen to shape the symbols materially not only had fundamental impact on the organization of the burialground itself, but also on how the surrounding world came to comprenhend and use them. This study suggests that even though the special shapes of the graves and the gravefield itself can carry meaning, the materialization of the monuments can be interpreted as incorporated in a practice of remembrance in where the individual shaping of the grave most probably formed part of a greater story.

Abstract:
The thesis of this project is to develop a language of architecture for the design of a rural house. Parameters for this language are specified through program, ideas about living in a country home, and the importance of integrating the building with its site. The parameters are reaffirmed through the materials and elements of architecture. In order to develop a cohesive language, four houses have been designed for four different sites. Each house implements the specified parameters in a manner appropriate to the setting of the surrounding landscape. The houses themselves become a transition between the inside and the outside and between the natural and the man-made. Thus this thesis is: Four Houses - A Language of Transition from Earth to Sky. Our experience-space is necessarily in conflict with the space of nature. The space that nature offers us rises above the ground and is oriented entirely towards the earth's surface. The contrast between the mass of the earth below and the space of the air above, which meet at the surface of the earth, is the primary datum of this (experience) space. Dom H.

Abstract:
The Judge Earl Stone House, built in 1849, is one of the oldest existing structures in Noblesville, Indiana, the county seat of Hamilton County, which is located immediately north of Indianapolis and Marion County. Originally built as a residence, it has been used for commercial purposes since the middle of the twentieth century. Last occupied in 1998 when it was used as a gift store, it has remained vacant, causing its condition to deteriorate.This creative project documents the current condition of the building, offers recommendations for the preservation of the exterior and foundation of the structure, provides a maintenance schedule to prevent further deterioration, and recommends two adaptive reuses.

Abstract:
Global energy demand is increasing every year dramatically, which results global warming due to increased greenhouse gas emissions. So, to be environmentally friendly and sustainable, Sweden’s energy policy targets to reach 100 % renewable energy share in 2040. Already, Sweden achieved 50 % renewable energy share in 2012 which was targeted to achieve by 2020. Integration of solar heating system in residential sector, for space heating (SH) and domestic hot water (DHW), was one of the reasons for this achievement. Considerably, several numbers of solar heating systems were installed in houses until 2011. Thus, solar heating system could be a step towards to reach 2040s target. In 2011, detached Swedish house was installed with solar combi-system (SCS) which was designed to use 53% of solar energy. The main aim of this thesis is to analyze the thermal performance of SCS and correlation with its simulated system performance which is done in five steps.First step is the collection of measured data from the system for specific period one year from April 2019 to March 2020 and determined other unknown energy values in that data. In the second step, unknown data are calculated using scientific equations with information from users and reliable assumptions. Consequently, the analysis of measured data shows huge uncertainties. It follows to the third step as sensitivity analysis to enhance the assumption values. Thus, analyzed results are tabulated with reliable parameters and solar fraction (SF) of the measured data is calculated. In the fourth step, SH of the house is considered as reference to build a system model in Polysun simulation software, and the modelled results are verified with analyzed results. In the final step, system model is simulated by changing one-year weather profile to 10 years average weather profile. Thus, analyzed results and simulated results are compared to evaluate the performance. The real system has the SF of 52 % after sensitivity analysis whereas the simulated system showed the SF with percentage difference around 15 %.

Abstract The demand side of horse (sport) events, that is visitor expectations, experiences and satisfaction, has not been the subject of much research. This chapter focuses on visitor experience and satisfaction at Landsmót (the National Championship of the Icelandic horse), held in Iceland in Hella (2014), Hólar (2016) and Reykjavík (2018). An online survey was conducted among visitors following those three events where a total of 2318 visitors responded. Findings indicated the importance of intangible services at the venue and service-mindedness of staff. High demand for horse-related products and equipment was reported at the venues during the events, as well as demand for clothes and other products related to weather conditions during the events. Visitors desired greater variety of meals and access to a grocery store at the venues. There was a considerable difference in visitor satisfaction between the three events investigated. The 2016 event in Hólar ranked the highest in all factors evaluated, except those related to the shopping area where visitors wanted more variety of products. The score of the 2016 event for overall visitor satisfaction was 4.39 (out of 5). The 2018 event in Reykjavík scored 4.21 whereas the 2014 event in Hella ranked 3.64.

Abstract:
AbstractThe need for emission reduction for climate management had triggered the application of pyrolysis technology on firewood that yield bio-oil, bio-char, and syngas. The purpose of present study was to select the best bio-oil and bio-char producing plants from 17 firewood tree species and to quantify the amount of carbon storage. A dried and 1 mm sieved sample of 150 g biomass of each species was pyrolyzed in assembled setup of tubular furnace using standard laboratory techniques. The bio-oil and bio-char yields were 21.1–42.87% (w/w) and 23.23–36.40% (w/w), respectively. The bio-oil yield of Acacia seyal, Dodonea angustifolia, Euclea schimperi, Eucalyptus globulus, Casuarina equisetifolia, and Grevillea robusta were over 36% (w/w), which make the total yield of bio-oil and bio-char over 62% (w/w) of the biomass samples instead of the 12% conversion efficiency in traditional carbonization. The calorific value of firewood was 16.31–19.66 MJ kg–1 and bio-oil was 23.3–33.37 MJ kg–1. The use of bio-oil for household energy and bio-char for carbon storage reduced end use emission by 71.48–118.06%, which could increase adaptation to climate change in comparison to open stove firewood by using clean fuel and reducing indoor pollution.

Abstract:
Survey in the Puuc region, Yucatán, has revealed considerable evidence for small-scale quarrying and lime burning for construction purposes, as well as a high incidence of masonry architecture. In this chapter we discuss what must have been a substantial component of the Puuc Terminal Classic economy, especially if the construction of palaces and civic-ceremonial structures is included. This chapter addresses the stages involved in the procurement of building materials for housing and subsequent construction processes, especially of masonry structures. We then assess how construction may have been managed and its economic implications, suggesting that elite houses may have been tokens within a royal patronage network in which the size and elaboration of dwellings were subject to sumptuary considerations.

Abstract:
Effect of Stone-Wales percentage defect on effective elastic modulus of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) is investigated. The Stone-Wales defect is a crystallographic defect that happens in nanotubes and is believed to affect the nanotubes mechanical properties. In order to calculate the mechanical properties of SWCNTs under axial tension, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations using the Morse potential is performed. An in house FORTRAN code is developed and utilized. The Young’s modulus of the perfect SWCNTs and those with different defect percentage is obtained using the classical elasticity theory. It is observed that for low percentage of defect (less than 8%) as the diameter increases the Young’s modulus of SWCNTs slightly increases. However, for high percentage of defect (more than 8%) as diameter increases the Young modulus clearly decreases.

In 2018 12th International Pipeline Conference. American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1115/ipc2018-78651.

Full text
Abstract:
Pipeline integrity has been threatened at the Dead Horse Creek pipeline crossing in southern Manitoba by a slow-moving slope failure with a potential for crest retrogression. The movement zone extends from the slope crest to the bottom of the creek, a vertical distance of about 25 m and is approximately 80 m long from toe to scarp and 100 m wide along the creek. The slope has degraded over time and is controlled by the combination of local geology, which consists of weak colluvium overlying high plastic clay shale, and creek bank erosion and channel degradation. Saturated soil conditions, a function of poor drainage and elevated seasonal precipitation, have exacerbated the problem over the years. The slope movements have been monitored on a regular basis since 2008 and presented an increasing risk to the integrity of multiple pipelines located in two rights-of-way (ROWs) situated within and immediately adjacent to the failing soil mass. The site is surrounded by various infrastructure and recreational areas that are key to the community, and therefore is considered a high consequence area with respect to potential pipeline failures. To manage the risk and protect pipeline integrity, various stress relief and other mitigating measures have been implemented since 2013 [1], culminating in a major slope rehabilitation project undertaken in 2015, which comprised earthworks, drainage and watercourse improvements, and slope stabilization using stone columns. While the use of stone columns to stabilize embankments is not a new technique, it is not commonly used in the pipeline industry and represents another option for geohazard stabilization in the right situations. This paper presents the slope stabilization techniques employed and discusses the challenges of working on an active moving slope confined by a watercourse and live pipeline assets. The positive benefits of the stabilization measures are illustrated through the use of 2D and 3D numerical modelling, and confirmed through an ongoing geohazard management program that includes site inspection and instrumentation monitoring which continues to show improvements in slope performance post construction.

Abstract:
Abstract The increased use of renewable energy has made the need to store electricity a central requirement. One of the concepts to address this need is to produce hydrogen from surplus electricity, and to use the existing natural gas pipeline system to transport the hydrogen. Generally, the hydrogen content in the pipeline flow would be below 20%, thus avoiding the problems of transporting and burning pure hydrogen. The natural gas – hydrogen mixtures have to be considered both from a gas transport and a gas storage perspective. In this study, the impact of various levels of hydrogen in a pipeline system are simulated. The pipeline hydraulic simulation will provide the necessary operating conditions for the gas compressors, and the gas turbines that drive these compressors. The result of the study addresses the impact on transportation efficiency in terms of energy consumption and the emission of green house gases. Further, necessary concepts in the capability to store gas to better balance supply and demand are discussed.

Abstract:
In the United States (U.S.) the nuclear waste issue has plagued the nuclear industry for decades. Originally, spent fuel was to be reprocessed but with the threat of nuclear proliferation, spent fuel reprocessing has been eliminated, at least for now. In 1983, the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982 [1] was established, authorizing development of one or more spent fuel and high-level nuclear waste geological repositories and a consolidated national storage facility, called a “Monitored Retrievable Storage” facility, that could store the spent nuclear fuel until it could be placed into the geological repository. Plans were under way to build a geological repository, Yucca Mountain, but with the decision by President Obama to terminate the development of Yucca Mountain, a consolidated national storage facility that can store spent fuel for an interim period until a new repository is established has become very important. Since reactor sites have not been able to wait for the government to come up with a storage or disposal location, spent fuel remains in wet or dry storage at each nuclear plant. The purpose of this paper is to present a concept developed to address the DOE’s goals stated above. This concept was developed over the past few months by collaboration between the DOE and industry experts that have experience in designing spent nuclear fuel facilities. The paper examines the current spent fuel storage conditions at shutdown reactor sites, operating reactor sites, and the type of storage systems (transportable versus non-transportable, welded or bolted). The concept lays out the basis for a pilot storage facility to house spent fuel from shutdown reactor sites and then how the pilot facility can be enlarged to a larger full scale consolidated interim storage facility.

Abstract:
Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s Additive Manufacturing Integrated Energy (AMIE) demonstration project leverages rapid innovation through additive manufacturing to connect a natural-gas-powered hybrid electric vehicle to a high-performance building designed to produce, consume, and store renewable energy. The AMIE demonstration project consists of a building and vehicle that were additively manufactured (3D-printed) using the laboratory’s big area additive manufacturing (BAAM) capabilities and an integrated energy system with smart controls that connects the two via wireless power transfer. The printed utility vehicle features a hybrid electric powertrain with onboard power generation from a natural gas fueled auxiliary power unit (APU). The APU extends vehicle range through a series hybrid powertrain configuration that recharges the vehicle’s lithium-ion energy storage system and acts as a mobile power generation system for the printed building. The development of the powertrain used for the printed range-extended electric vehicle was completed using a powertrain-in-the-loop development process and the vehicle prototype implementation was accelerated using BAAM. A flexible 3.2 kW solar photovoltaic system paired with electric vehicle batteries will provide renewable power generation and storage. Energy flows back and forth between the car and house using fast, efficient bidirectional wireless power transfer. The AMIE project marked the first demonstration of bidirectional level 2 charging through wireless power transfer. The accelerated creation and printing of the car and house will further demonstrate the program’s function as an applied science tool to get products to market more quickly than what currently is possible with traditional manufacturing. This paper presents a case study that summarizes the efforts and technical details for using the printed research platforms. This paper explores the focuses on printing of the vehicle, powertrain integration, and possibilities for vehicles providing power to buildings in different scenarios. The ability for BAAM to accelerate the prototype development for the integrated energy system process is explored. Details of how this was successfully accomplished in 9 months with more than 20 industry partners are discussed.

Full text
Abstract:
Advances in ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) technology have been trending toward more powerful and lightweight devices. A hydraulic series elastic actuator (HSEA) was explored to design a lightweight powered AFO that meets the high peak power demand of ankle gait. With its excellent power density and its ability to separate the power supply from the actuator using a hose, hydraulic power was used, combined with an SEA that takes advantage of the high-peak and low-average power profile of ankle gait to store energy and release it during the push-off stage of gait. The parameters required for the SEA were determined and validated using simulation. A gait pattern that would require 235W of motor power was able to be tracked using a motor rated at 95W. The actuator weight of the hydraulic ankle-foot orthosis (HAFO) at the ankle was 0.35, which is 43% of an equivalent electromechanical system. A novel design of an HSEA with a clutch capability is proposed for future HAFO applications.

Abstract:
It is undeniable that report generation is one of the most important tasks in many companies regardless of the size of the company. A good report generation mechanism can increase a company’s productivity in terms of effort and time. This is more obvious in some startup companies, which normally use some in-house report generators. Application development could be complex and thus software developers might require substantial efforts in maintaining application program code. In addition, most of the report generators use a different kind of format to store the report model. An application is no longer considered an enterprise-level product if XML is not being used elsewhere. This paper introduces a XML-driven and Component-based development approach to report generation with the purpose of promoting portability, flexibility and genericity. In this approach, report layout is specified using user-defined XML elements together with queries that retrieve data from different databases. A report is output as an HTML document, which can be viewed using an Internet browser. This paper presents the approach using an example and discusses the usage of the XML-driven report schema and how the proposed reusable report engine of a customisable report generator component system works to output an HTML report format. The customisable report generator component system is implemented to support heterogeneous database models.

Abstract:
Fully coupled analysis of ship motion and sloshing tank in waves is essential for floating structures which store and transports natural gas. For partially filled tanks would generate violent sloshing due to external wave excitation, and the sloshing flow can consequently affect ship motion. Therefore, how to evaluate ship motion and sloshing phenomenon in tank is of great importance, especially under real sea state, when wave induced sloshing would be more complex than that under linear wave condition. In the present work, a CFD-based method is applied to simulate both external wave field and inner sloshing tank field in regular waves and irregular waves. The ship is a simplified FPSO, with two LNG tanks. All the numerical simulations are carried out by the in-house CFD code naoe-FOAM-SJTU, which is developed on the open source platform OpenFOAM. The regular and irregular wave condition is simulated based on open source toolbox waves2Foam. The main parameters of coupling effect of ship motion and sloshing tank, such as the time history of ship motion, sloshing phenomenon in tanks are obtained by our computations. The predicted results for the coupling effects of ship motion and sloshing tank in regular waves are compared with the corresponding experimental data. The comparison is satisfactory and shows that the CFD method has the ability to simulate coupling effects of ship motion and sloshing tank in waves.

Abstract:
The main recommendations of the panel report can be summarised under five key headings:  Building blocks: The ultimate aim should be to build rich, detailed and testable narratives situated within a European context, and addressing phenomena from the longue durée to the short-term over international to local scales. Chronological control is essential to this and effective dating strategies are required to enable generation-level analysis. The ‘serendipity factor’ of archaeological work must be enhanced by recognising and getting the most out of information-rich sites as they appear. o There is a pressing need to revisit the archives of excavated sites to extract more information from existing resources, notably through dating programmes targeted at regional sequences – the Western Isles Atlantic roundhouse sequence is an obvious target. o Many areas still lack anything beyond the baldest of settlement sequences, with little understanding of the relations between key site types. There is a need to get at least basic sequences from many more areas, either from sustained regional programmes or targeted sampling exercises. o Much of the methodologically innovative work and new insights have come from long-running research excavations. Such large-scale research projects are an important element in developing new approaches to the Iron Age.  Daily life and practice: There remains great potential to improve the understanding of people’s lives in the Iron Age through fresh approaches to, and integration of, existing and newly-excavated data. o House use. Rigorous analysis and innovative approaches, including experimental archaeology, should be employed to get the most out of the understanding of daily life through the strengths of the Scottish record, such as deposits within buildings, organic preservation and waterlogging. o Material culture. Artefact studies have the potential to be far more integral to understandings of Iron Age societies, both from the rich assemblages of the Atlantic area and less-rich lowland finds. Key areas of concern are basic studies of material groups (including the function of everyday items such as stone and bone tools, and the nature of craft processes – iron, copper alloy, bone/antler and shale offer particularly good evidence). Other key topics are: the role of ‘art’ and other forms of decoration and comparative approaches to assemblages to obtain synthetic views of the uses of material culture. o Field to feast. Subsistence practices are a core area of research essential to understanding past society, but different strands of evidence need to be more fully integrated, with a ‘field to feast’ approach, from production to consumption. The working of agricultural systems is poorly understood, from agricultural processes to cooking practices and cuisine: integrated work between different specialisms would assist greatly. There is a need for conceptual as well as practical perspectives – e.g. how were wild resources conceived? o Ritual practice. There has been valuable work in identifying depositional practices, such as deposition of animals or querns, which are thought to relate to house-based ritual practices, but there is great potential for further pattern-spotting, synthesis and interpretation. Iron Age Scotland: ScARF Panel Report v  Landscapes and regions:  Concepts of ‘region’ or ‘province’, and how they changed over time, need to be critically explored, because they are contentious, poorly defined and highly variable. What did Iron Age people see as their geographical horizons, and how did this change?  Attempts to understand the Iron Age landscape require improved, integrated survey methodologies, as existing approaches are inevitably partial.  Aspects of the landscape’s physical form and cover should be investigated more fully, in terms of vegetation (known only in outline over most of the country) and sea level change in key areas such as the firths of Moray and Forth.  Landscapes beyond settlement merit further work, e.g. the use of the landscape for deposition of objects or people, and what this tells us of contemporary perceptions and beliefs.  Concepts of inherited landscapes (how Iron Age communities saw and used this longlived land) and socal resilience to issues such as climate change should be explored more fully.  Reconstructing Iron Age societies. The changing structure of society over space and time in this period remains poorly understood. Researchers should interrogate the data for better and more explicitly-expressed understandings of social structures and relations between people.  The wider context: Researchers need to engage with the big questions of change on a European level (and beyond). Relationships with neighbouring areas (e.g. England, Ireland) and analogies from other areas (e.g. Scandinavia and the Low Countries) can help inform Scottish studies. Key big topics are: o The nature and effect of the introduction of iron. o The social processes lying behind evidence for movement and contact. o Parallels and differences in social processes and developments. o The changing nature of houses and households over this period, including the role of ‘substantial houses’, from crannogs to brochs, the development and role of complex architecture, and the shift away from roundhouses. o The chronology, nature and meaning of hillforts and other enclosed settlements. o Relationships with the Roman world
