The House of Two Faces
Authors:   , Savage Dilan
Published: September 2024

The increasing complexity of the global landscape presents challenges in navigating the multicultural layers and narratives that shape our identity, particularly for individuals with parents from diverse cultural backgrounds. Born in New Zealand with Western and Eastern genealogy, I find myself with conflicting sentiments, feeling both rooted in New Zealand culture and detached from, yet invested in, the rich cultural heritage inherited from my Gujarati/Indian and European roots. This thesis investigation explores how speculative architecture can effectively participate in representing and enhancing a sense of place and self within a multicultural context.

French philosopher Michel Foucault delivered a lecture to architecture students in 1986 titled “Of Other Spaces”, where he reflects upon issues of the search for identity, through a philosophical lens. He proposes the concept of the mirror as a space that exists in contrast to, or outside of, the normal and everyday spaces—the placeless place. As a way to provoke new ideas for architecture students for interrogating place and self-identity, Foucault articulates that the mirror represents our inherent sense of placelessness—a space where one’s identity dwells in a liminal condition, witnessing fragments of self from two different perspectives. This design-led research investigation proposes to use Michel Foucault’s article as a philosophical provocateur, interrogating how his themes of the placeless place, mirror, and self can be re-presented as a speculative architectural project to enhance and recognise the multifaceted nature of place and self-identity within the built realm. To achieve this goal, this thesis proposes to use my cultural background from both my mother’s and father’s sides as a lens to interrogate Foucault’s central themes. The research adopts a methodological approach whereby rituals, symbolism and philosophy from my mother’s Gujarati culture are extracted and rigorously interrogated through a contemporary architectural lens. Simultaneously, it interrogates the applicability of psychoanalytic theory, from my father's background, for its applicability to architectural theories of fragmentation, liminality, and dualities/oppositions. The collected fragments from both sides are reintegrated and converge into the design of a speculative architectural dwelling: The House of Two Faces.

The ‘house’ aims to engage with rituals, and symbolism, that can be understood universally and transcend personal narrative by reflecting our collective unconscious. This speculative dwelling is envisioned as a dynamic entity, continually evolving to mirror the understanding of both the cultural and psychoanalytical selves.
The Impact of Spaced and Massed Practice on Deliberate Learning of English Opaque Idioms across L2 Proficiency Levels: A Mixed-Methods Research
Authors:   , Heidari Kamal
Published: September 2024

The effect of spacing, specifically spaced and massed practice, on learning and retention of different skills and knowledge components has been studied extensively in various disciplines, such as experimental psychology, cognitive psychology, and education. In vocabulary research, spaced practice has been found to bear superior effects on single-word vocabulary learning, compared with massed practice. However, the effects of spaced and massed practice on learning and retention of Multi-Word Expression (MWEs), such as idioms, by L2 learners of different proficiency have not yet been sufficiently researched. The present thesis seeks to address this gap by examining the impact of spaced and massed practice on deliberate learning of English opaque idioms across L2 proficiency levels. This thesis consists of three parts. In the first part, a methodological systematic review of spaced/massed practice studies in applied linguistics/SLA since 2000 to 2023 was conducted. The results of the review informed the field by delineating the present state of research into spacing and suggesting ways it can be described more systematically. The results also informed methodological decision of the present study. In the second part, an experimental classroom-based study was conducted with 199 English L2 learners (65 low-, 68 mid-, and 66 high-proficiency ones) who learned 40 opaque idioms explicitly via flashcard technique through either spaced or massed practice. The learning and retention of the idioms were measured via cued-form recall, meaning recall, and short story writing posttests in immediate, short-delayed (12 days after treatment), and long-delayed (100 days after treatment) posttests. The main results of this part were that firstly, on both cued-form recall and meaning-recall tests, high-proficiency and mid-proficiency groups benefitted most from spaced practice while the low-proficiency group benefitted most from massed practice. Secondly, while massed practice was found more effective on L2 idiom learning, spaced practice was found more effective on L2 idiom retention. Third, in the short story test, it was found that high-proficiency group had the best performance in all types and times of posttests. In the third part of the thesis, 30 of the participants were interviewed to obtain their opinions on the two treatment approaches (spaced and massed practice). The results showed that unlike the low-proficiency and mid-proficiency learners who had false metacognition and metamemory on spacing, the high-proficiency learners did not.
The Influence of Current Mood on Fading Affect Bias: An Experimental Approach
Authors:   , Marsh Claire
Published: September 2024

When we reminisce about the past this may evoke positive or negative emotions in the current moment. However, these evocations are different from the feelings that were experienced at the time of the event. Fading affect bias is a memory phenomenon that describes how emotions related to positive and negative memories fade over time, specifically that negative emotions fade faster, and to a greater degree, than positive emotions (Walker et al., 1997). It is thought that fading affect bias keeps one’s outlook on life positive by allowing one to learn from negative events without reliving the emotional sting that was experienced at the time (Sedikides & Skowronski, 2020; Skowronski et al., 2014; Walker & Skowronski, 2009). Although fading affect bias involves both memory and emotion, little is known about how current mood influences the phenomenon. Mood can have a powerful effect on memory, but no studies have investigated the effect of manipulating current mood on the differential affective fade seen in fading affect bias. To fill this gap in the literature, the current thesis reports the results of one correlational and six experimental studies examining the effect of current mood on fading affect bias. Overall, the results suggest that fading affect bias is not influenced by either current natural mood or induced mood. Thus, the fading affect bias is more likely to be a stable, individual difference characteristic than a product of current mood (i.e., a state-dependent phenomenon). This research has potential practical applications in health settings. It appears fading affect bias is an individual characteristic that could be encouraged and reinforced to maintain a normative, positive outlook on one’s life. This research also contributes to theoretical knowledge on positive psychology, positive memory biases, and the intersection between memory and mental health.

Published: September 2024

In Major construction projects execution and performance were being negatively impacted by claims and disputes in terms of cost overrun, quality, stakeholders relationships, and productivity. Therefore understanding the significance of underlying the claims is essential. In this study, the primary root causes behind delay claims and disputes in construction projects were identified, examined, and rated. The significance of these factors was assessed using Relative Importance Index (RII) values. In addition, a machine learning model employing the Random Forest Genetic Algorithm (RFGA) was implemented to foresee the related risks and ascertain their levels. In a pilot survey, the data were collected across multiple construction projects at different phases such as scrutiny stage, design and planning stage, bidding stage, operation stage, and maintenance or after-construction stage. From Relative Important Index values from the statistical approach, it emerges that delay claims are generally causes from the owner followed by project-specific activities. Delays in processing bill payments, natural disasters, lack of contract awareness, and delay in final bill payment are the top causes of delay claims which converted to conflicts and disputes in mostly operating stage. The Random Forest Genetic Algorithm model predicted that factors like altering the original design, reluctance to cooperate by contractor, and increase of wages have lower risk whereas factors Poor site conditions, delay in approvals of schedules and change orders, natural calamities, late in running bill payment, repetition of work due to error in original work are at higher risk in terms of conflict and dispute. The model gives an accuracy of 0.89 and 0.87 for training data and testing data. The study will highlight possible research avenues and enhance project management strategies so that the project succeeds its goal.

Published: September 2024

The physical layer is implemented in the present communication era with new multicarrier modulation schemes such as Generalized Frequency Division Multiplexing with Multi-Input and Multi-Output (MIMO-GFDM) antenna systems to achieve good spectral efficiency and diversity order. This paper presents precoded Space-Time-Frequency MIMO-GFDM performance analysis to improve the bit error rate performance without increasing transmission power and bandwidth compared to conventional techniques. The proposed system also enhances the diversity order over frequency selective fading channels. In general, we need to perform channel matrix inversion operations at the receiver or channel precoding matrix operations at the transmitter to detect the symbols of MIMO-GFDM systems. This paper's proposed scheme completes the same task without performing channel matrix inversion. Orthogonal transform techniques such as Haar, Harley, Walsh-Hadamard, and Slant transforms are used as precoders at the transmitter for the proposed scheme. The simulation results are validated on the MATLAB working platform. We have compared the bit error rate of the PSTF-MIMO-GFDM system with Space-Time (ST) and Space Frequency (SF) as baseline schemes and different orthogonal transform precoding techniques.

The goal of this study is to give headways in aeronautical article ID that will help with making recognitions that are both more exact and more precise. Specifically, we revamp the meaning of the article recognition anchor enclose request to remember turns for expansion to level and width, and besides, we make it conceivable to have erratic four corner point structures. Furthermore, the consideration of new anchor boxes gives the model additional adaptability to address protests that are focused at a pivot of turn that gives a 45-degree point. By accomplishing these results, we can make an organization that considers negligible tradeoffs about speed and unwavering quality, while likewise giving more exact restrictions. The latest ways to deal with PC vision and article acknowledgment are for the most part dependent on brain organizations and different advances that utilize profound learning. This powerful field of study is utilized in various applications, including military and observation, aeronautical photography, independent driving, and airborne perception. To precisely locate the location of an item, contemporary object identification techniques make use of bounding boxes that are drawn over the object and have a rectangular form (horizontal and vertical). These orthogonal bounding boxes do not consider the posture of the object, which leads to a decrease in the amount of object localization and restricts subsequent tasks such as object comprehension and tracking. We have used the DOTA dataset to present all of the results, demonstrating the value of flexible object boundaries, particularly with rotated and non-rectangular objects. We have also achieved an accuracy of 98.47% for the detection and classification of aerial objects, with forty percent of the data being used for training and the remaining twenty percent being used for testing. There was a minimum of 2.8 seconds of processing time required for the whole program to be executed to categorize all of the aerial items that were parked on the base.

The dynamic of the heat transfer analysis constitutes an important factor that has drawn the attention of many researchers. Heat transfer is evaluated by considering the heat transfer coefficient, the surface area, and the temperature difference between the surface and the surrounding fluid. The computation of the temperature difference across various surface areas shows that increased heat transfer enhances the proportion of the heat conduction rate. In most cases, the system becomes unstable because inappropriate structural elements and outside disturbances, like ambient temperature can readily change the yielding temperature. As a result, the heat exchanger's efficiency needs improvement. A numerical simulation analyzing the performance of a shell and tube heat exchanger indicates that an increase in the surface area leads to a corresponding increase in the heat transfer rate. To optimize system performance, mathematical models were employed for the stability analysis of temperature changes. MATLAB simulations computed temperature differences in quantities of heat and area, thereby obtaining valuable insights for improving heat exchanger design and operation.

Authors: Ahmed Ahmed Hussein , Al-Hilali Aqeel
Published: September 2024

In recent times, several sectors and businesses have been doing extensive research on the usage of Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) and Radio Frequency Over Fiber (RFOF). These two technologies are considered to be the most significant features. Increasing the data rate was a significant challenge that needed to be addressed, and the goal was to successfully implement a fiber optic system that was dependable and had a high number of associated channels. As a consequence of this, a 64-channel DWDM RFOF system that is capable of supporting a larger number of data rates of 2.56 Tbps has been designed and implemented in this study. A significant number of channels that have been sampled will be chosen for inquiry based on the characteristics of Quality Factor (QF) and Bit Error Rate (BER) that have been researched. This study will be carried out with the assistance of Optisystem software. These findings would be investigated at distances ranging from sixty to one hundred eighty kilometers, with the NRZ modulation format being used and a lunched power of zero decibels per meter. Additionally, the purpose of this study would be to explore the three distinct techniques of compensation, namely pre, post, and symmetrical, to quantify the individual performance of each approach on the suggested system. According to the findings, the use of symmetrical-based compensation yielded the most favorable outcomes, with the average QF produced falling within the range of (20.33-14.09) dBm over distances ranging from (60-180) kilometers. This demonstrates the dependability of the proposed system.

Published: September 2024

The study conducts exhaustive field surveys in 67 wards in Bhubaneswar city, Odisha. 29 factors under 10 aspects have been considered for the study to assess the water requirement per household per day. SEM and CART modeling have been used to estimate the water requirement. The SEM model predicts that 4 aspects, namely, expenses, governance, possession, and resources are the major aspects that decide the water requirement of a household. Similarly, construction and repair costs, energy consumption, reinforcement practices, awareness, presence of a garden, presence of washing machine, presence of other appliances, water charges, and the type of storage majorly affect the water requirement. CART predicts energy consumption, storage, construction and repair, and washing machines to be important estimators with MAPE < 1% for the prediction of water requirement. The study reveals that with proper governance and proper use of water-intensive appliances, the required quantity of water can be decreased in any household. Secondly, by abiding by certain rules while using washing machines, like using them daily or weekly two times, etc., the inequity of water among households can be reduced.

It has been observed that married women refrain from utilizing contraceptive methods owing to a variety of reasons, including postpartum-amenorrhea, side-effects-worries, rarely or never having sex, no contraception while breastfeeding, or frustration with a particular method. The current study sought to investigate the sociodemographic disparities and contributing factors related to married women who are young (15–24 years old) and non-young (25–49 years old) and who do not utilize contemporary contraceptive methods. The research utilized cross-sectional data obtained from the fifth round of the National Family Health Survey (NFHS-5) to explore the determinants of contraceptive non-utilization among 175,652 married women in India. Multiple logistic regression analysis was utilized for the examination. The study found that non-young married females (25-49) had a higher prevalence of not using contemporary contraceptives (72%) compared to young married females (45.8%). The majority of non-users were from the central region (24.4%), followed by the east (17.4%), north-east (17.2%), north (15.9%), south (15.2%), and west region (9.9%). The majority of non-users were non-working and had male and female household heads. Most non-users knew about modern contraceptives but were unaware of family planning on radio and TV. Higher odds ratios in the non-use among married females were found significant among central-region females (OR=2.189, CI: 1.815-2.641), East-region (OR=1.324, CI: 1.148-1.527), South-region (OR=1.262, CI: 1.063-1.497), females who don’t know caste (OR=1.898, CI: 1.176-3.062), females having primary (OR=3.466, CI: 2.889-4.157) and secondary education (OR=2.281, CI: 1.890-2.753), females who used since last birth (OR=1.851, CI: 1.658-2.068) and never used (OR=1.632, CI: 1.474-1.806). The study found that economically disadvantaged females, household heads, and those with multiple children are less likely to avoid birth control methods, while marital status, religion, caste, education, and birth order did not have a significant impact on non-usage. The study highlights sociodemographic disparities in contraceptive use, emphasizing the need to address issues like low education, media exposure, and ignorance towards birth-control practices, and recommends immediate actions to reduce non-use among married females.

An infrared camera is the best tool for identifying the temperatures in various parts of thermal power plants. In this paper, authors identified the probable faults in different parts of the Boiler using temperature. A well-liked and secure technique to use in condition monitoring and preventative maintenance is infrared thermography. This procedure is directly applied to determine whether the machine is operating normally or not and also to identify the heat pattern that indicates inefficiency and flaws within the machine. For the asset manager, it is the best practice. This procedure lowers the danger and increases operational dependability. Checking bearings and belts, and keeping an eye on electrical rooms, panel boards, rotating motors, boiler operations, etc., are all made easier using infrared thermography. This method helps pinpoint the precise site of the equipment or machine malfunction. It can avoid events that can happen due to destruction from heat radiation and save energy, money, time, and money on repairs. If the operations are prepared for the obstacles, they can be managed successfully. This paper presents details of an Expert system for Boilers in Thermal power plants.

Published: September 2024

La presente investigación es un análisis de al menos quince casos que recoge la experiencia de al menos quince especialistas que desde su particular forma de enfocar  los casos comentan la realidad fenoménica que le acompaña al lupus eritematoso sistémico (LES). Un primer elemento relacionado es el de la calcinosis difusa asociada al LES con presencia normal de fósforo, calcio, pth, mioglobina, LDH, CPK, sin signos de dermatosis o dolores musculares y presencia de anticuerpos lúpicos como el anti sm.  En el caso del  SD de Rowell, se da la asociación del LES con lesiones de tipo multiforme, en las que sí hay presencia de anticuerpos antinucleares con patrón moteado, AC anti- la y el factor reumatoideo positivo. En el caso de la esclerosis tuberosa es una facomatosis con alteraciones pulmonar, renal, neurológica y dérmica que se asocia a la presencia del lupus. Se concluye que la enfermedad también presenta trastornos como problemas cognitivos, convulsiones y migrañas.
