Tel Aviv: from Patrick Geddes' Utopian Social City to the International City of Late Capitalism
Authors:   Technion/lsrael Institute of Technology, Schwartz Horacio
Published: February 2021

In contemporary society – according to Dennis Potter’s dictum – citizens have been transformed into consumers. The shift in social power behind this process is mirrored in the changing shape of the city. Tel Aviv, founded just eighty five years ago, is an extreme example of the interaction between urban conceptions and configurations and dominant social forces. By means of a schematic section through the history of the city, this paper attempts an assessment of the role of those forces and conceptions – or their absence – in determining the nature and scope of the present transformations of the urban fabric. Tel-Aviv is an assemblage of past and recent urban utopias, constrained by conditions, scaled-down and transformed, but still identifiable and influential. Partly “collision city” and partly “collage city” – in Colin Rowe’s terms – its growth, while chronologically continuous, resulted in a fragmented pattern; each district reflecting the urban ideals and historical conditions under which it came into being. Four determinant stages can be detected in the ascent of the city.
The Geography of Power in South America: Divergent Patterns of Domination in Spanish and Porteguese Colonies
Authors:   University of Arizona, Clark Kenneth , Del Bono Elisa ,   University of Arizona, Luna Garcia Antonio ,   University of Arizona
Published: February 2021

The authors of this paper explore the geography of power in South America as expressed by Spain and Portugal in their different patterns of development in colonial America. The paper outlines the political position of each country during the Age of Discovery, the political attitudes of each and the resultant urban morphologies and spatial organizations developed by each colonial power. A close examination of two South American colonial cities one Spanish, one Portuguese-reveals that the Spanish urban pattern promoted a hierarchy of interconnected cities of gridded layout, with key state and religious functions strategically located in relationship to the plaza. Portugal, in contrast, created a series of isolated commercial-military towns, of informal morphology with key state and religious functions distributed according to topography. Two case studies of Spanish and Portuguese colonial cities clearly illustrate the divergent policies and patterns of spatial control of these two important colonizing powers of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.
Architecture and the Dilemma of Aesthetics: Towards an Alternate Defintion and Approach to Architecture
Authors:   University of Minnesota, Dittmar Gunter
Published: February 2021

The paper calls for a paradigm shift in the definition and approach to architecture to reverse the erosion of its societal relevance, and the loss of its identity as a discipline. The paper contends that this development originated with the Renaissance when architecture evolved from a craft into an art, and the pursuit of beauty became the foremost ideal: the aspect that distinguishes architecture from “mere building”. Ever since, architecture has tried-and failed- to solve the dilemma of aesthetics: the integration of utility, technology and beauty. However, neither beauty, nor the question of aesthetics, are really the problem. The real issue is that architecture is, ultimately, about more than beauty or aesthetics: it is about our life and our existence; about creating a place for our being in the world. Architecture is, thus, grounded in an ontological paradigm rather than an aesthetic one. This has far-reaching, theoretical implications. The paper then proceeds to delineate some of the premises fundamental to an ontological approach to architecture, based on the notion that architecture makes possible the congruence between human and natural order, between our inner and our outer world. Beauty is present when one resonates and reveals itself through the other.
An Allegory of Good Government: A Comparison of Gothic Siena and Modern Los Angeles
Authors:   California Polytechnic State University, Figura Lange Karen , Davis Lakeman Sandra ,   California Polytechnic State University
Published: February 2021

As our American cities struggle with the problems of growth and development, the human initiated disasters of crime and violence threaten the very existence of the urban core ofmost large cities. Los Angeles dominates the American crime scene with its gangs and drug dealers, where violent crime will strike one in every three Angelenos in their lifetime. The city is a leading example of environmental disintegration preceding rampant crime. In fact, environmental decay, drug use and crime continue to rise apparently in collaboration with each other. Additionally, the social service organizations are overwhelmed by the influx of immigrants, teenage pregnancy, and AIDS.
Removal of History
Authors:   Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, Martin Shelley F.
Published: February 2021

In regarding history as a concept, the foundation of both the critical and the cultural historian relies on the metaphor selected to order the world. The acquisition of knowledge by inquiry, as in the Greek “historia”, is related to the Latin “videre” ( to see), and develops an historical sense which includes the perception of the past, the present, and the future simultaneously. These relationships of time usually move either horizontally as a chronological time line with clear regulations and overlaps; or vertically with the direct impact of a cut or incision that both divides and links at the same time. A ruin is a state of time where, for a moment, all three tenses collide as the past and the future crash into the present. In a ruin both the productions and the destructions of history reveal themselves as an opportunity to recognize the significance and signatures of events and the boundaries enclosing them.
Discourses of Position: Ideology and Situation in Italy
Authors:   Tulane University, Stanton Michael
Published: February 2021

It is inevitable that buildings relate in tangible ways to their users. While the initial proposition may verge on the axiomatic, the ensuing discussion need not remain so, for it is richly joined to the very nature of significance and to the roots of ideology. The physical qualities of the dialogue between building and body, the relations of thing to perceiving subject, seem some of the least revocable aspects of the complex play of signification and appropriation that characterizes architectural thinking and practice. This essay will discuss some of the moments in the arts when these are presented with particular acuity.
When a House is Not a Home
Authors:   Royal Melbourne institute of Technology, Gartner Anne
Published: February 2021

There has been growing interest in exploring the concept of home, especially the relationship between house, the dwelling and the local area, but seldom from the point of view of the dispossessed. This paper describes a large Australian research study which focusses on homeless youth's perception of house and home in a suburban area with much "hidden" homelessness. The interview material points to the heterogeneity of perceptions of homeless youth, describing many dimensions of the meaning of home. The findings which emerge from this study will be used to inform the design of future support services and accommodation provision.

Pellets are a source of energy intake made by humans with certain compositions needed according to an aquatic organism. The need for artificial feed (pellets) will greatly support the success of cultivation. A good pellet will produce fast fish growth so the production costs are not too high. Feed on a fish is not the same because it must be adapted to the type of commodity and its eating habits. Good food is a food that has high protein and is easily obtained. One of them is mangrove snails (T. telescopium). Kuala Langsa is a village located in the city of Langsa which is directly adjacent to the Malacca Strait so that in this area mangroves are found. The advantage of this pellet is that it is easy to find mangrove snail base material and its availability is abundant so that later the price will be cheaper with higher quality protein content compared to the pellets available on the market. The benefits of making this pellet are: (1). The creation of quality fish feed pellets, as an alternative to fish feed. (2). As an application of the science of fish feed from college, and (3). As an application of entrepreneurship science, to hone skills and soft skills entrepreneurs, so that they are ready to become independent entrepreneurs when they graduate. This pellet has a value of R / C ratio of 1.33, which means that every capital issued in the amount of Rp. 100.00 will get an income of Rp. 137.00. Thus, the fish pellet feed business is feasible to be developed.

Porous TiO2 layer for dye-sensitized solar cell formed with non-equilibrium 2D plasma induced by dielectric barrier discharge under atmospheric pressure
Authors: Okuya Masayuki , Mayumi Shinji , Okumura Ryosuke , Masuda Yuki , Yagi Isao
Published: February 2021

A non-equilibrium 2D plasma was induced on the insulating plate by a dielectric barrier discharge under a flowing mixture of nitrogen and oxygen gases. A titanium-peroxo precursor to prepare an anatase TiO2 film was irradiated with the plasma. The technique was applied to form a porous TiO2 layer for a dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC). We found the N–O metastable plasma induced under the higher nitrogen gas concentration played an important role in forming a porous TiO2 layer and promoted a necking process between the TiO2 particles to reduce an internal resistance within the layer. The DSSC fabricated with the porous TiO2 layer showed maximum conversion efficiency of 3.7%, which was lower than that of the general DSSC. However, with a non-equilibrium 2D plasma, the substrate temperature was kept below 80 °C during the plasma irradiation, which opens the way for subsequent progress in producing a DSSC for daily use.

Published: February 2021

The renewable energy becomes the second-largest source of global electricity worldwide. However, the intermittent nature of RESs (RES)causes great challenges and severed problems regarding system security and reliability. Combining two or more RES in hybrid renewable topologies can overcome these problems and improve the power quality, reliability and increasing the overall system efficiency especially when the combined sources have a complementary nature for each other. For example, Solar Photovoltaic and Wind energy have a complementary nature since they can complement each other in partial failure time and in turn, increases the reliability of the overall system. Optimization techniques are essentially required to optimally coordinate between the combined energy sources, reduce the total system cost, and maximize the extracted power and consequently increasing the total efficiency. Therefore, this paper has a twofold aim which is conducting comprehensive review of the optimization techniques, Software and tools, topologies of hybrid renewable energy systems (HRES)and then applying data mining and statistical calculations to predict the most suitable optimization techniques for a hybrid system composed of Solar PV, Wind Turbine, and battery bank.

Now a days exploring and analyzing or mining data in various ways give insights into future for invention and plays a critical role in decision making. For accurate analytical assertion of data, accurate results is essential. So hiding data and at the same time preserving data privacy is necessary to protect externals from attacks. An successful process for sharing sensitive information for data processing, validation and publication should then be deducted. In this paper Polynomial Based Encryption Secret Sharing Scheme (PBESSS) for Multi-Party mechanism is proposed that allows multiple parties to exchange secret data between them at the same time secret data is encrypted so as to protect from untrusted parties. Each party will have stronger protection by selected own polynomial with primitive root number ‘generator’ and the secret data will be in cryptic form and it can be found by each party after final computation of polynomials. This multi-party mechanism can be applied to federated cloud for computation securely.

Published: February 2021

In the software industry, a critical factor in a project’s success is raising productivity, and software development teams must always consider its challenges. In today’s competitive industry, the productivity of team members in software development is a serious issue that attracts considerable attention. Studies have been conducted on various aspects of team and individual productivity; however, the literature still refers to a lack of research into the impact of team awareness, observing that it is an essential element of knowledge management in the project’s development life cycle. This study takes up this point and presents an actual software development case study to investigate the impact of increasing knowledge and producing adequate information on clients’ domain and business model on both team productivity and that of each individual member. The study was undertaken with two development teams over one month, each receiving about 300 requirements. One of the teams was given sufficient information on the client’s domain and background in terms of its business model, while the other was given nothing before it went to the client’s workplace, without any knowledge of its domain. The results achieved were statistically significant, showing better productivity among the team with the information, with 261 of 300 requirements completed, whereas the other completed just 107. The findings of this study will help software research to focus both on the aspects of knowledge management that relate to software development and on the correlation between them. The study also supports software development project managers to enhance the value of knowledge when they are delivering training and to equate the time spent spreading knowledge to giving team members adequate information about the clients’ domains and business models. This will be reflected in both the quality and productivity of the entire development process.

Chilled water air conditioning system is used to supply cooling systems in large capacity for industrial processes and commercial buildings. Air conditioners contribute more than 60 percent of electricity consumption in buildings. District Cooling System (DCS) technology comprises a central chiller plant which provides advantage compared to local air conditioning system. It has higher efficiency, uses less power in system operation, allows more usable space in buildings, and can be operated with minimum manpower while handling same amount of cooling load. The integration of a chiller with ice thermal storage (ITS) offers more operational flexibility while reducing space cooling expenses. This paper presents a systematic framework for design and operation of District Cooling Plant (DCP) comprising an integrated chiller and ice thermal storage system. The Cooling System Cascade Analysis (COSCA) based on pinch analysis is constructed to determine the chiller optimal size and ice thermal storage capacity. The District Cooling System configuration for this study comprises a cooling tower, chiller (centrifugal, variable centrifugal, glycol) and ice thermal storage system. The application of this technique to fulfil 66,284 refrigerant tonne hour (RTH) cooling load demand from commercial buildings reveals the optimal capacity of the chiller is 3068.91 refrigerant tonne (RT), ice tank rating at 989 refrigerant tonne (RT) and ice tank capacity is 9892.75 refrigerant tonne hour (RTH).

Teoría económica y credibilidad en la política monetaria
Authors: Schwartz Moisés J. , Galván Sybel
Published: February 2021

La instrumentación de la política monetaria, como la de cualquier otra política económica, puede describirse como un proceso continuo de interacción entre las autoridades y el público. En dicho proceso secuencial, las autoridades determinan y revisan sus políticas, así como sus instrumentos, a la vez que el público se adapta y anticipa al comportamiento de la autoridad. De esta manera, los resultados de política pueden describirse como equilibrios endógenos que resultan del proceso de interacción entre los hacedores de política y los demás agentes económicos. El propósito de este trabajo es presentar algunas consideraciones teóricas sobre la forma en que los bancos centrales pueden mejorar su credibilidad, y por consiguiente facilitar el proceso de reducción de la inflación.
