Abstract:

Abstract Property management has often been described as an after-sale service because the participation of professional property managers is only required upon completion of the building. Recently, however, property management has become an integral part of project development based on its value. These days, managing recreational facilities such as residents’ clubs, gyms and swimming pools, given the frequent use of electronic installations, no longer falls under basic caretaking services. The early detection of hidden problems such as poor quality concealed cables, conduits and pipes and the improper selection of building materials saves time and money in subsequent maintenance and repair work, simultaneously reducing any inconvenience experienced by end-users due to a breakdown in services or defective rectification. Environmental protection and energy conservation are becoming increasingly important in our daily lives, and thus are unavoidable agendas in the design and construction of buildings, be they domestic, commercial or industrial. The input of professional property managers based on their foresight and past work experience with end-users is crucial to the success of such schemes. This paper reviews the value of professional property managers in residential project development.

Abstract:

Increasingly more leisure facilities, such as water parks or indoor swimming pools are being built in Poland nowadays. In order to ensure the air quality required by standards for such leisure facilities it is necessary to fit them with effectively functioning ventilation. For the removal of excess humidity, as well as chlorine ions occurring as a result of the disinfection of water as well as the carbon dioxide emitted by people using the facility, the ventilation system needs to be appropriately designed and efficient. For this reason, studies into the air quality in such facilities were undertaken. The paper presents the causes and consequences of the inappropriate operation and maintenance of ventilation systems in swimming pools. The study found that the causes of deterioration in the technical condition of the system which was operated in an environment with chlorine ions were: an inappropriate manufacture of its components and the wrong choice of construction materials for the given environment of operation. Furthermore, failure to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for the operation and maintenance of the components of the ventilation system greatly precipitated its degradation and the occurrence of sick building syndrome in the swimming pool. Solutions were found and proposed in order to improve the efficiency of the ventilation system in the given swimming-pool facility.

Abstract:

SUMMARYIn August 1988 an increase was noted in the number of cases of cryptosporidiosis identified by the microbiology laboratory at Doncaster Royal Infirmary. By 31 October, 67 cases had been reported. Preliminary investigations implicated the use of one of two swimming pools at a local sports centre and oocysts were identified in the pool water. Inspection of the pool revealed significant plumbing defects which had allowed ingress of sewage from the main sewer into the circulating pool water. Epidemiological investigation confirmed an association between head immersion and illness. The pools were closed when oocysts were identified in the water and extensive cleaning and repair work was undertaken. The pool water was retested for cryptosporidial oocysts and found to be negative before the pool re-opened.

Abstract:

SUMMARYOn 3 February 2004, the Vermont Department of Health received reports of acute gastroenteritis in persons who had recently visited a swimming facility. A retrospective cohort study was conducted among persons attending the facility between 30 January and 2 February. Fifty-three of 189 (28%) persons interviewed developed vomiting or diarrhoea within 72 h after visiting the facility. Five specimens tested positive for norovirus and three specimen sequences were identical. Entering the smaller of the two pools at the facility was significantly associated with illness (RR 5·67, 95% CI 1·5–22·0,P=0·012). The investigation identified several maintenance system failures: chlorine equipment failure, poorly trained operators, inadequate maintenance checks, failure to alert management, and insufficient record keeping. This study demonstrates the vulnerability of recreational water to norovirus contamination, even in the absence of any obvious vomiting or faecal accident. Our findings also suggest that norovirus is not as resistant to chlorine as previously reported in experimental studies. Appropriate regulations and enforcement, with adequate staff training, are necessary to ensure recreational water safety.

Abstract:

A microfluidic sensor was studied for the photometric detection of active chlorine, total chlorine, and pH in swimming pool samples. The sensor consisted of a four-layer borosilicate glass chip, containing a microchannel network and a 2.2 mm path length, 1.7 mL optical cell. The chip was optimised to measure the bleaching of methyl orange and spectral changes in phenol red for quantitative chlorine (active and total) and pH measurements that were suited to swimming pool monitoring. Reagent consumption (60 mL per measurement) was minimised to allow for maintenance-free operation over a nominal summer season (3 months) with minimal waste. The chip was tested using samples from 12 domestic, public, and commercial swimming pools (indoor and outdoor), with results that compare favourably with commercial products (test strips and the N,N’-diethyl-p-phenylenediamine (DPD) method), precision pH electrodes, and iodometric titration.

Abstract:

Retractable spatial structures are modern buildings designed to comply with the user's flexibility needs – concerning the complete or partial opening of a building's enclosure. Most sport activities are usually preferred, by spectators as well as by competitors, to be held in open air. Swimming, a popular sport activity, is highly sensitive to cold and wind. The need for retractable structures arises since weather conditions vary with seasons while current market demand is for year-round activity. Designing retractable enclosures for swimming pools involves specific criteria, resulting from the safety and operational demands of such facilities. The variety of swimming pool geometries and the nature of the user's needs has resulted in numerous solutions of retractable enclosures, varying in size, geometry, structural systems, building technology, opening and closing techniques, building materials, maintenance and cost. This paper addresses current solutions of light-weight retractable spatial structures – designed to enclose swimming pool facilities. Swimming pool types are described, followed by a list of design criteria. Classification of structural methods is then brought forward, represented by specific projects and drawings.

Abstract:

This papers examines the feasibility of 3 medium span (16m – 32m) spliced spline stressed membranes. Medium span slender arch systems have been used for canopy structures of stadia cladding such as the Gottlieb-Daimler Stadium. Lateral bracing by the membrane means that the arch can be slender and flexible. Flexibility and lightness fit in well with the design of pre-stressed structures that are themselves flexible and adjust to applied loads. The presented membrane structures are designed bearing in mind their deployability (as necessary for temporary tents) and offer a good simple alternative to medium span high maintenance pneumatics covering squash courts or swimming pools.

Abstract:

Abstract Trial-and-error chlorination as a conventional practice for swimming pool water disinfection may fail to consistently maintain the pool's residual chlorine within regulatory limits. This study explored the variability of residual chlorine and other common water quality parameters of two sample swimming pools and examined the potential of using a mass balance model for proactive determination of chlorine consumption to better secure the hygienic safety of bathers. A lightly loaded Pool 1 with a normalized bather load of 0.038 bather/m3/day and a heavily loaded Pool 2 with a normalized bather load of 0.36 bather/m3/day showed great variances in residual free and combined chlorine control by trial-and-error methods due to dynamic pool uses. A mass balance model based on chemical and physical chlorine consumption mechanisms was found to be statistically valid using field data obtained from Pool 1. The chlorine consumption per capita coefficient was determined to be 4120 mg/bather. The predictive method based on chlorine demand has a potential to be used as a complementary approach to the existing trial-and-error chlorination practices for swimming pool water disinfection. The research is useful for pool maintenance to proactively determine the required chlorine dosage for compliance of pool regulations.

Abstract:

Measurement, dosing, and control systems for liquids are based on applications dedicated to measuring the amount of liquid, controlled filling of enclosures and disinfection of liquids and surfaces. The applications of such a system are multiple, from maintaining the quality of drinking water to the maintenance of swimming pools and can be extended to the food and pharmaceutical industries. This paper presents an experimental setup for monitoring and controlling water in an aquarium, and it was made with commercially available elements, which have a low cost and with microcontrollers specific to the development boards. The system is controlled with the help of development boards and has a didactic purpose, the paper presenting the process of choosing the components and the development of the application.

Abstract:

Regulation of PIPK (phosphatidylinositol phosphate kinase) and PtdIns(4,5)P2 signalling by small G-proteins and their effectors is key to many biological functions. Through selective recruitment and activation of different PIPK isoforms, small G-proteins such as Rho, Rac and Cdc42 modulate actin dynamics and cytoskeleton-dependent cellular events in response to extracellular signalling. These activities affect a number of processes, including endocytosis, bacterial penetration into host cells and cytolytic granule-mediated targeted cell killing. Small G-proteins and their modulators are also regulated by phosphoinositides through translocation and conformational changes. Arf family small G-proteins act at multiple sites as regulators of membrane trafficking and actin cytoskeletal remodelling, and regulate a feedback loop comprising phospholipase D, phosphatidic acid, PIPKs and PtdIns(4,5)P2, contributing to enhancement of PtdIns(4,5)P2-mediated cellular events and receptor signalling. Na+, Kir (inwardly rectifying K+), Ca2+ and TRP (transient receptor potential) ion channels are regulated by small G-proteins and membrane pools of PtdIns(4,5)P2. Yeast phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 5-kinases Mss4 and Its3 are involved in resistance against disturbance of sphingolipid biosynthesis and maintenance of cell integrity through the synthesis of PtdIns(4,5)P2 and downstream signalling through the Rom2/Rho2 and Rgf1/Rho pathways. Here, we review models for regulated intracellular targeting of PIPKs by small G-proteins and other modulators in response to extracellular signalling. We also describe the spatial and temporal cross-regulation of PIPKs and small G-proteins that is critical for a number of cellular functions.

Abstract:

Nowadays different types of unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs), such as remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) and autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), are widely used for sub-sea inspection, maintenance, and repair (IMR) operations in the oil and gas industry, archaeology, oceanography and marine biology. Also, lately, the development of underwater snake robots (USRs) shows promising results towards extending the capabilities of conventional UUVs. The slender and multi-articulated body of USRs allows for operation in tight spaces where other traditional UUVs are incapable of operating. However, the mathematical model of USRs is more challenging compared to models of ROVs and AUVs, because of its multi-articulated body. It is important to develop accurate models for control design and analysis, to ensure the desired behaviour and to precisely investigate the locomotion efficiency. Modelling the hydrodynamics poses the major challenge since it includes complex and non-linear hydrodynamic effects. The existing analytical models for USRs consider theoretical values for the fluid coefficients and thus they only provide a rough prediction of the effects of hydrodynamics on swimming robots. In order to obtain an accurate prediction of the hydrodynamic forces acting on the links of the USRs, it is necessary to obtain the fluid coefficients experimentally. This paper determines the drag and added mass co-efficients of a general planar model of USRs. In particular, this paper presents methods for identifying fluid parameters based on both computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulations and several experimental approaches. Additionally, in this paper, we investigate variations of the drag force modelling, providing more accurate representations of the hydrodynamic drag forces. The obtained fluid coefficients are compared to the existing estimates of fluid coefficients for a general model of USRs.
