The wind turbines have restriction on increasing its rotor diameter. Winglets are angled extensions or vertical projections at a wing's trail and are commonly utilized on commercial aircraft in combination with flat airfoils to minimize induced drag and increase lift. Introducing a winglet to the cutting edge of the turbine blade enhances the power generation without extending the intended rotor area. For the aeronautical industry and especially for high-performance sail planes, the winglet structure has been thoroughly examined. Because winglets have been shown to decrease drag and increase wind turbine rotor blade aerodynamic efficiency, it is major to realize and evaluate the method of performance and design enhancement used by previous researchers for this application. It provides a good description and concepts for handling the design process for the application of the wind turbine. The objective of the project is to evaluate turbine blade flow dynamics with winglet and to enhance the efficiency of its physical dimensions. CFD analysis would be go through by altering its physical size and shape with the target of realizing augmented power.

Sand demand is currently very high and constantly increased up to cause problems in the construction industry. In an effort to solve this problem, various studies have been conducted as an alternative to replace the use of sand and among them are the use of quarry dust as a substitute sand. In this study, quarry dust is used as a substitute of sand in the manufacture of interlocking brick cement-sand. However, it has raised questions about the ability of interlocking brick with quarry dust in terms of compressive strength and water absorption compared to interlocking brick with sand that are often used in construction. Interlocking brick made using an appropriate mixture of sand and quarry dust as the main components, cement as a binding agent. Providing 70 samples of interlocking bricks different mixing and all the interlocking brick dimensions are 250mm x 125mm x 100mm. The various percentages of quarry dust that to be used in the experiment. This percentage ratio is required to determine the appropriate percentage to be used in the production of brick in order to produce optimum strength. Interlocking brick will be tested using hydraulic machines for days 7 to days 28 for compressive strength and water absorption test. The results showed that the highest value of compressive strength test is from a sample of 70% quarry dust of 31.07 N/mm ² which consisted ratio of 1 cement: 1.8 sand: 4.2 quarry dust while for water absorption test, the highest reading was recorded by 0 % sample of quarry dust with a ratio of 1 cement mixture: 5.1 sand of 11.8%. As a conclusion, quarry dust content can affect the compressive strength of bricks, thereby increasing the compressive strength of brick and reduce the rate of water absorb.

Human visual system is more sensitive to edges and ridges in the images which composed of high spatial frequency components. Digital images having more spatial variations may contain informative content than their counterparts. Remote sensing images are one of those categories covering different aspects of land surface variations, aerial photographs are obtained on board image sensors on flying platform. Aerial photographs represent the land surfaces consists of textural and structural objects make more presence of edges. Interpolating information of aerial photographs become clumsy when the pixels are corrupted with noises at different density of levels. The kind of aerialphotographsare acquired in various way such as multi/hyper spectral sensors on board of satellites or the planes, by synthetic aperture radar (SAR) in remote sensing. The intelligence of the aerial photographs affected because of noises during image formation process and atmospheric factors. In this paper, unsharp masking (USM) algorithm based image denoising framework is proposed with Gaussian and bilateral filters. Structure similarity index(SSIM) and Image enhancement factor (IEF) based performance comparisons were studied for various noises on aerial photographs and the experimental results shown that the bilateral filter with USM system outperforms the Gaussian filter with USM. The simulation setup demonstrated using both additive and multiplicative noises with the different levels of noise density on aerial photographs.

تأتي رسالة الإسلام في أعظم دين عالمي يناشد البشرية جمعاء ، والذي يأمر بالعدالة ، ويمنع الشر ، ويضع أركان السلام على الأرض. إنها رسالة تسامح وإخاء وتعايش سلمي وإنساني بين جميع الناس بغض النظر.من غير عرقهم وألوانهم ومعتقداتهم في هذا الجو الإنساني المتسامح ، عاش غير المسلمين جنبًا إلى جنب مع إخوانهم المسلمين لخدمة المجتمع ورفع مكانته ، وساهموا بنشاط في البناء الحضاري ، وخاصة في المجال العلمي. مع تطور العلم للأمم ، نعيش اليوم في هجوم وحشي على الإسلام والمسلمين. نحن بحاجة إلى إظهار الجوانب المشرقة لحضارتنا الإسلامية وتوضيح دور غير المسلمين في إثرائهم أثناء العمل بحرية ومتصل بالأرض والشعور بالمواطنة ، مثل غيرهم من المسلمين.وهكذا اخترنا عائلة إسحاق وحنين بن إسحاق وأبنائه إسحاق وداود وابن أخيه وطالبه حبش بن الحسن الأسام ، كمثال للإبداع العلمي في سياق التعايش الإنساني. كان هذا الابتكار في بغداد عاصمة العالم وشعلة العلم والصلب. لدينا حضارة إنسانية بمعناها الصحيح في هذه الدراسة ، ذكرنا مفهوم أهل الأول ، ثم شرحنا طبيعة التسامح الديني في الإسلام وتطبيقاته في ظل الدولة الإسلامية العربية ، ثم تحدثنا عن (إسحاق) كنموذج لنا في هذا البحث ، لعبنا دور الحنين إلى الماضي بن إسحاق العبادي كريستيان في الترجمة والنقل ، وخاصة من خلال العملة كرئيس لبيت الحكمة في عهد الخليفة المأمون ( 198 - 218 / 813-833 م) ، كمرحلة جديدة في مجال الترجمة لا تعتمد ترجمة العديد من كتب اليونان من الدول الرومانية لغرض الترجمة ، وكذلك ظهور طريقة جديدة في عملية الترجمة. في الترجمة الحرفية القديمة ، ابتكرها حنين بن إسحاق ، بدءاً من طلب الخليفة بإصلاح الترجمات السابقة وترجمة جميع مخطوطات الإغريق ، على الرغم من أنه كان شابًا في ذلك الوقت ، ولكن إعادة كتابته العلمية وكان تأهل وضعه يستحق أن يكون مشهورا. كما أكد على أهمية تناول الغداء وطبيعته في العلاج ، والأدوية التي تعتمد على النباتات في تصنيعها ، باعتبارها بداية الاتجاه الجديد في مجال الصيدلة ، خاصة بعد ترجمة كتب الطب إلى اليونان من قبل حنين. ثم ذكرنا وفاته وما حدث في اختلاف وهم بعض المؤرخين.ومن ثم ابحث عن دور أبناء حنين بن إسحاق ويكمل دور أبيهم في مجال الترجمة والطب ، خاصة دور ابنه إسحاق الذي كان أكثر تميزا من أخيه ديفيد ، ثم نأسف لذكر ابن أخته وطالبه حبيش بن العاصم بشرح دوره في استكمال عملية عمه في مجال الطب والترجمة.

كان لإعلان الوحدة المصرية السورية في شباط 1958 أثر واضحآ على لبنان, إذ أنقسم الرأي العام اللبناني الى قسمين  مابين مؤيد ومعارض لتلك الوحدة, ومما زاد الأمر توتراً هو إصرار الرئيس كميل شمعون على تجديد مدة ولايته الرئاسية مرة ثانية, ومن ثم أغتيال الصحفي نسيب المتني الذي  أشعل الشرارة الاولى للأنتفاضة و أدى الى حدوث مظاهرات واضطرابات داخلية في لبنان, أما موقف المملكة العربية السعودية من ذلك فلم يكن على وتيرة واحدة وإنما كان متبايناً, وذلك تبعاً لما يخدم مصالحها فقد اتخذت على الأغلب موقفاً أشبه بالحياد وذلك حرصاً على أمن وسلامة بلادها إلا أنها تمكنت بمساعدة من الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية بأنهاء تلك الانتفاضة, وذلك بعد اقناع كميل شمعون بالقبول بالأمر الواقع والتنازل عن الرئاسة, وذلك بعد فوز فؤاد شهاب بالانتخابات الرئاسية.

         قسم البحث الى مبحثين, جاء المبحث الأول بعنوان (انتفاضة الثامن من أيار 1958 وموقف المملكة العربية السعودية منها), إذ تناول الأسباب التي أدت الى اندلاع الانتفاضة ومجرياتها وموقف المملكة العربية السعودية منها, أما المبحث الثاني كان بعنوان (الإنزال الأمريكي في لبنان وموقف المملكة العربية السعودية  منه), واعتمد البحث على مجموعة من المصادر المتنوعة جاء في مقدمتها وثائق وزارة الخارجية الأمريكية, إذ اشارت تلك الوثائق الى موقف المملكة العربية السعودية من انتفاضة أيار, وكذلك موقفها من الإنزال الأمريكي في لبنان, وكذلك اعتمد البحث على عدد من الرسائل والاطاريح والكتب الوثائقية والكتب العربية والمعربة, وكذلك عدد من الصحف العراقية التي اغنت البحث بالمعلومات التاريخية.

This manuscript was accepted for publication on IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing.

Abstract: In radar polarimetry, incoherent target decomposition
techniques help extract scattering information from polarimetric
SAR data. This is achieved either by fitting appropriate scattering models or by optimizing the received wave intensity
through the diagonalization of the coherency (or covariance)
matrix. As such, the received wave information depends on
the received antenna configuration. Additionally, a polarimetric
descriptor that is independent of the received antenna configuration might provide additional information which is missed by the individual elements of the coherency matrix. This implies that existing target characterization techniques might neglect this information. In this regard, we suitably utilize the 2D and 3D Barakat degree of polarization which is independent of the received antenna configuration to obtain distinct polarimetric information for target characterization. In this study, we introduce new roll-invariant scattering-type parameters for both full-polarimetric (FP) and compact-polarimetric (CP) SAR data. These new parameters jointly use the information of the 2D and 3D Barakat degree of polarization and the elements of the coherency (or covariance) matrix. We use these new scattering type parameters, which provide equivalent information as the Cloude alpha for FP SAR data and the ellipticity parameter chi for CP SAR data, to characterize various targets adequately. Additionally, we appropriately utilize these new scattering-type parameters to obtain unique non-model based three-component scattering power decomposition techniques. We obtain the even-bounce, and the odd-bounce scattering powers by modulating the total polarized power by a proper geometrical factor derived using the new scattering-type parameters for FP and CP SAR data. The diffused scattering power is obtained as the depolarized fraction of the total power. Moreover, due to the nature of its formulation, the decomposition scattering powers are nonnegative and roll-invariant while the total power is conserved. The proposed method is both qualitatively and quantitatively assessed utilizing the L-band ALOS-2 and C-band Radarsat-2 FP and the associated simulated CP SAR data.

Published: January 2020

Poor complementary feeding contributes to the characteristic negative growth trends leading to death as well. Therefore, the present study aimed to assess complementary feeding practices and associated factors in the selected urban area of Nepal. A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 237 mothers having children aged 6-23 months in Bhaktapur Municipality. Pretested structured questionnaire was used to collect data using a face-to-face interview. Data were entered in Excel followed by using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20. Multinomial logistic regression was conducted to determine the feeding practices of infants as per WHO recommendation. Out of the 237 children, 54.8% were boys and 42.2% were girls. In this study 61% were breastfed within 1 hour of birth, 33% were given pre-lacteal feeding, 19% were given complementary feed on time, 55.3% had good minimum meal frequency, and 47.70% were given minimum number of food groups and 26.5% were practicing good minimum acceptable diet. Total Kcal intake supplied is equal to WHO recommended standard however, triggering 84% of participants included processed food as a part of complementary feeding which is never the good practice. The majority of mothers lack the knowledge regarding ideal feeding practices as calorie intake was equal to WHO recommendation. There was a gap in knowledge and practice regarding duration of exclusive breastfeeding and initiation and continuation of ideal complementary feeding. The rate of complementary feeding was found on declining trend. Emphasis given to educate mothers about complementary feeding practices can be very useful for the purpose.

The Lagerstroemia indica L. is a representative of the family Lythraceae, is popularly known as extreme, resedá rosa or madness. It is a small tree with dense and deciduous canopy, measuring from 2 to 4m high, resistant to dry climate and environmental conditions of cities. The present work aimed to evaluate the pollen feasibility of the Lagerstroemia indica L., through the dyes of 1% Green Malignant, Lugol 2% and Alexander Reactive and 2,3,5 Triphenyl tetrazolium chloride (TTC) at the dilutions of 0.075% and 0.030%. In order to verify the pollen fertility, we used closed flowers from three populations of Lagerstroemia indica L., following the methodology of Guerra & Souza (2002), submitting the treatments. In the application of the TTC dye, anthers of fresh buds were arranged in two concentrations: 0.075% and 0.30%, being evaluated in the periods of 6:00 a.m., 12:00 a.m., 6:00 p.m. and 24:00 a.m. The use of R. dyes from Alexander, V. Malachite 1% and Lugol 2% and from TTC to determine pollen feasibility proved to be efficient in differentiating the fertile and infertile pollen from the species. In the use of TTC it is recommended to use in the 0.30% solution during 12h of fixation of the pollen granules, period in which a higher coloring average was obtained.

Plastic waste is one of the most important problems that have occurred with modernization in the world and in our country. The use of plastics, which makes our daily life easier at many points, is also increasing day by day. The recycling and re-usability of these waste materials after use are of great importance and meaning when evaluated in terms of ecological order. In this study, finely ground waste polypropylene, which became waste, were poured into cold formed I100 and U100 steel profile molds. Carbon and glass fibers were used as reinforcement within the 16 samples. After melting, the behavior of I100and U100 molds filled with polypropylene will be observed after bending and shear tests on the samples. In the study, eight specimens for I100 and eight specimens for U100 profiles were produced. The main purpose of the cold formed steel in the production of I100 and U100 models is to enhance the bending and shear behavior of the models. As a result, the melted polypropylene within the cold formed I and U type models are presented a stunning performance.
Ade Mulyana Pembentukan Majlis Syura oleh Umar bin Khaththab untuk Menyelenggarakan Pemilihan Khalifah
Authors: Mulyana Ade
Published: January 2020

Sejak Umar bin Khaththab ditikam oleh Abu Lu’lu’ah (Fairuz) kaum Muslimin dicekam oleh rasa ketakutan, khawatir akan nasib mereka sendiri kelak. Terpikir oleh mereka siapa yang akan menggantikannya jika dengan takdir Allah, Umar meninggal. Beberapa orang ada yang membicarakan masalah ini kepadanya. Mereka meminta Khalifah mencalonkan pengganti.

Pada mulanya Umar bin Khaththab ragu, dan ia berkata: “Kalaupun saya menunjuk seorang pengganti, karena dulu orang yang lebih baik dari saya juga menunjuk pengganti, atau kalaupun saya biarkan, karena dulu orang yang lebih baik dari saya juga membiarkan.” Tetapi sudah dipikirkan matang-matang, bahwa kalau dibiarkan begitu saja ia khawatir keadaan akan menjadi kacau. Dalam berperang dengan Persia dan Rumawi semua orang Arab sudah ikut serta sehingga setiap kabilah mengaku dirinya seperti kaum Muhajirin dan Anshar, berhak memilih khalifah. Malah di antara mereka ada yang mengaku  berhak mencalonkan pemimpinnya sebagai khalifah. Jika Umar bin Khaththab tidak memberikan pendapat, pengakuan seperti itu akan sangat membahayakan kedaulatan yang baru tumbuh itu.

            Karenanya, ia membentuk Majlis Syura’ yang terdiri dari enam orang dengan tugas memilih di antara mereka seorang khalifah sesudahnya. Keenam orang itu Utsman bin Affan, Ali bin Abi Thalib, Zubair bin Awwam, Thalhah bin Ubaidillah, Abdur-Rahman bin Auf dan Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas. Setelah menyebutkan nama-nama itu Umar berkata:”Tak ada orang yang lebih berhak dalam hal ini daripada mereka itu; Rasulullah Saw. wafat sesudah merasa puas terhadap mereka. Siapa pun yang terpilih dialah khalifah sesudah saya.”

Published: January 2020

Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk menguraikan equity  equality  dalam sistem pendanaan pendidikan di Indonesia yang meliputi pembahasan makna, strategi dan upaya pemerintah dalam melaksanakan pemerataan pendidikan di Indonesia, pengaruh kurangnya pemerataan pendidikan di Indonesia, serta sistem pendanaan pendidikan. Secara prinsip, keadilan pendidikan bermakna bahwa setiap warga Negara berhak untuk mendapatkan pendidikan yang layak. Faktor-faktor kultural, perbedaan individual, bias jender, kemampuan ekonomi keluarga, lingkungan, letak geografis dan lainnya, meskipun terbuka hak dan peluang yang sama, selalu memunculkan ekses layanan pendidikan dan pembelajaran yang disinyalir kurang layak. Tujuan penetapan kebijakan ekuitas atau keadilan pendidikan dasar sebagai prioritas bahwa semua anak usia sekolah dan anak didik yang sedang studi pada jenjang ini dapat belajar secara efektif dan memperoleh keterampilan-keterampilan dasar (equire basic skill) sebagai bekal hidup. Faktor rendahnya kualitas sarana fisik, rendahnya kualitas guru rendahnya kesejahteraan guru, rendahnya prestasi siswa kurangnya pemerataan kesempatan pendidikan, mahalnya biaya pendidikan serta faktor geografis atau daya jangkau berpengaruh langsung terhadap pemerataan dan keadilan di bidang pendidikan. Realitas menunjukkan, makin terpencil suatu daerah, makin sulit masyarakat daerah tersebut untuk disentuh dengan layanan pendidikan yang baik, kesadaran masyarakat akan pendidikan rendah, di samping mereka hidup dalam daerah kemiskinan. Kondisi inilah yang antara lain memunculkan fenomena ketidakadilan atau ketimpangan fasilitas pendidikan di negara-negara berkembang.

Authors: Sun Yun , Nimbarte Ashish D , Motabar Hossein
Published: January 2020

Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) of the neck or cervical spine result in longer sick leaves, substantial levels of human suffering, and high costs for society. Epidemiological studies clearly indicate strong associations between MSD of the neck and the work activities requiring forceful arm exertions and heavy lifting. However, most of the existing studies that evaluate the neck or cervical spine disorders focus mainly on exertions demanding sustained neck postures of repetitive arm exertions. The purpose of this study is to conduct a systematic review of existing epidemiological and experimental studies that evaluates neck or cervical spine disorders and identify the gaps in the literature for future research.
An Integrated Approach for the Analysis of Manufacturing System States
Authors: Dhuttargaon Mukund , Krishnan Krishna , Shah Dhagash
Published: January 2020

With advancement in the manufacturing technology and rise in the purchasing ability, demand for newer products is increasing continuously. This is forcing manufacturing companies to persistently look for new techniques to improve the productivity of a manufacturing system and ensure optimum utilization of all the elements of a manufacturing system, including facility layout. Traditional research had viewed facility layout, material handling and productivity improvement as separate activities.  Researchers depending on their area of specialization focused on either the production aspects of a company, the material handling aspects or facility layout. However, to ensure productivity, this study proposes a new theory to analyze the current state of the system with an integrated approach of production system and material handling system. In this study, the current state of the system is classified into three different states and a methodology is proposed to identify the current state of the system. This new theory can be used by manufacturers to identify appropriate strategies for improving productivity.  The identification of the state of the system is necessary for effective improvement of the system.

Understanding Mass Killing in America: A System Dynamics Approach
Authors: Riedlinger Dillon , Wisniewski Jillian
Published: January 2020

This study explores the replication effect of mass killings across the United States. Often news outlets sensationalize emotional stories, such as mass killings, because they increase readership. Increased readership perpetuates the spread of the ideation to commit a mass killing through imitation, with each new incident having the possibility to spark several more throughout the country through increased exposure. This study places greatest focus on the imitation and does not analyze feedback mechanisms that affect other influences of violence. System dynamics modeling provides the framework for examining imitation incidents as an effect of increased exposure via the media.
Foreword
Authors: Evangelista Paul
Published: January 2020

This special issue of the Industrial and Systems Engineering Review once again showcases the top papers from the annual General Donald R. Keith memorial capstone conference at the United States Military Academy in West Point, NY.  After consideration of over 40 academic papers, the eight listed in this issue were selected for publication in this journal.  Topics addressed in the papers span a wide spectrum, however the distinguishing aspects of each paper included a common trend; each of these papers clearly implemented some aspect of systems or industrial engineering underpinned by thoughtful analysis.  The papers focus on three general bodies of knowledge:  systems engineering, modeling and simulation, and system dynamics modeling.Systems engineering topics included two unique contributions.  The work of Byers et. al examined the trades between weapon weight and weapon lethality.  Bares et. al. examined computing and storage needs of a simulation-intense analytical organization, considering the processing, storage, and growth that such an organization would need to consider as part of their IT solution. Three papers created unique contributions primarily through modeling and simulation studies.  Grubaugh et al. explored anomaly detection in categorical data, a notoriously difficult problem domain.  Bieger et al. used discrete event simulation to analyze rail yard operations in support of military deployments.  Kumar and Mittal analyzed the feasibility and benefits of alternative organizational structures to support cyber defense, primarily using a value modeling approach.       Lastly, applied system dynamics modeling and research produced several outstanding papers, primarily across social science problems.  Led by the extensive advising efforts of Jillian Wisniewski, three of her students contributed notably.  Ferrer and Wisniewski used system dynamics to understand the growth of Boko Haram over the course of the last decade.  Riedlinger and Wisniewski applied system dynamics to better understand the replication of mass killings across the United States.  Lastly, Provaznik and Wisniewski explored the diffusion of news and information using system dynamics, analyzing important social problems created by echo chambers for ideologies. Please join me in congratulating our authors, especially the young undergraduate scholars that provided the primary intellectual efforts that created the contents of this issue.COL Paul F.

Starazo triple switches – synthesis of unsymmetrical 1,3,5-tris(arylazo)benzenes
Authors: Heindl Andreas H , Wegner Hermann A
Published: January 2020

Multistate switches allow to drastically increase the information storage capacity and complexity of smart materials. In this context, unsymmetrical 1,3,5-tris(arylazo)benzenes – ‘starazos’ – which merge three photoswitches on one benzene ring, were successfully prepared. Two different synthetic strategies, one based on Baeyer–Mills reactions and the other based on Pd-catalyzed coupling reactions of arylhydrazides and aryl halides, followed by oxidation, were investigated. The Pd-catalyzed route efficiently led to the target compounds, unsymmetrical tris(arylazo)benzenes. These triple switches were preliminarily characterized in terms of their isomerization behavior using UV–vis and 1H NMR spectroscopy. The efficient synthesis of this new class of unsymmetrical tris(arylazo)benzenes opened new avenues to novel multistate switching materials.
W.G. Sebald
Authors: Schütte Uwe
Published: January 2020

W. G. Sebald was a literary phenomenon: a German literary scholar working in England, who took up creative writing out of dissatisfaction with German post-war letters. Within only a few years, his unique prose books made him one of the most celebrated authors of the late twentieth-century.Sebald died prematurely, aged 57, after the publication of his most celebrated prose fiction Austerlitz. This accessible critical introduction, written by a leading expert, highlights Sebald’s double role as writer and academic. It discusses his oeuvre in the order in which his works were published in German in order to offer a deeper understanding of the original development of his literary writings. In addition to concise but incisive interpretations of the main publications, Schütte demonstrates how Sebald’s critical writings (most of which still await translation) fed into his literary texts and concludes his study with a perceptive assessment of Sebald as a cult author.
REVIEWING THE NOTION OF PROGRESS IN THE QUEST FOR SUSTAINABILITY: THE EXAMPLE OF CHINESE ARCHITECTURE
Authors: Li Mengbi
Published: January 2020

Progress is a frequently admired concept in modern societies, yet defining and achieving it requires renewed consideration in the context of sustainability and low-carbon living. This paper suggests that in China, the modern concept of progress came as a result of certain historical events in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries when the country was trapped in crisis. This concept was useful in stimulating society at that time and contributed to the rapid development that followed, but whether it can still meet the new challenges of today’s China is questionable. Focusing on the discipline of architecture, this paper suggests that now is the time for a critical rethink of the concept of progress. There are valuable notions to be found in China’s history when addressing these challenges.
OBSERVING PARALLAXICAL IDENTITIES OF PLACE IN ARCHITECTURE – ADOPTING ARCHITECTURAL AND PSYCHOANALYTICAL APPROACHES TO URBAN FABRICS
Authors: D'Arcy-Reed Louis
Published: January 2020

This article analyses the concept of the parallaxical identity within architecture, and its significance in identifying a metaphysical barrier between buildings, urban fabrics, and cognitive understanding. The research focuses and expands upon Slavoj Žižek’s parallax of postmodernist cultural architecture and it’s “zero-institutional” role in marginalising class-struggle and incommensurability between architecture and audience. Interrogating psychoanalytical parallax and architectural concepts of parallax in its history, it explains the determining of a “parallaxical identity of place,” present within cities and as a result of regeneration schemes. Through a design method examining an example of cultural architecture, this article presents a case to integrate psychoanalytical analysis as a useful design methodology within practice. At the end of the article, recommendations are made on how to observe and manage against any potential dissociative or psychological barrier between architecture, environment and community.
INTEGRATING CA4PRS V.3 ROAD WIDENING SCHEDULE MODULE INTO US HIGHWAY EARLY CONSTRUCTABILITY PROCESS: CALIFORNIA SR-91 CORRIDOR IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM CASE STUDY
Authors: Lee Eul-Bum , Alleman Douglas , Thomas David , Kim Chang-Mo
Published: January 2020

Performing Constructability Review Processes (CRPs) during the highway design development has been found to save transportation agencies twice their input costs.
However, existing literature has identified three areas of CRP improvement: reduction of required agency resources, incorporation of Road User Cost (RUC) scheduling constraints, and
integration of assessment visualizations. The authors propose to fill this gap by integrating the Construction Analysis for Pavement Rehabilitation Strategies (CA4PRS) v.3 software
into the CRP. This module provides agencies with road widening project schedule capabilities, which enhances CRPs by providing accurate RUC-constrained critical path schedules using
minimal resources. The module was developed through interviews with subject matter experts from six public and two private California transportation organizations. Said experts also
tested the CA4PRS v.3 alpha and beta pre-release versions using data collected from eight Caltrans road widening projects. The potential value-adding of integrating the CA4PRS v.3
software with existing CRPs has been tested through its application on the California State Road 91 (SR-91) Corridor Improvement Program (CIP), resulting in 24-months of construction
acceleration. The findings and presentation of the schedule model within this paper provide practitioners an accurate and resource-efficient tool to estimate the schedule impacts of
road widening constructability options.
