Parklet: A New Urban Platform for Emergent Forms of Communication and Social Interaction in the Cities
Authors: Ghandi Mona
Published: July 2019

Social interaction is critical to the physical and intellectual well-being of a functioning democracy. The excessive influence of technology and lack of urban design and planning’s attention to pedestrian experience has caused our interactions to become more private, isolated, and mostly virtual. The following project presents the product of a design-build studio which uses adaptive/Kinetic systems to generate a creative solution to this social problem. Specifically, it will showcase the efforts of students working on a Parklet project, repurposing urban space to advance local business ethics and social justice issues. The Parklet replaces a parking space, fostering increases in social connections, public vibrancy, and support for local businesses. To move beyond schematic design, and offer students an experiment in real-world design issues, this studio provided a hands-on atmosphere for collaborative and consensus design experience, learning-by-doing, detailing challenges, and offsite construction strategies. It was structured to promote lessons in collaboration, construction detailing and process, and adaptive design, including working with city officials to meet code and zoning regulations. Since the project’s site is located in a neighboring city, students prefabricated the pieces in school and shipped and assembled them on site in one day. The studio sought to promote CAAD education, teaching design, and construction, but also innovation and entrepreneurship, through computational technology. The pedagogical framework was defined around various considerations such as structural, functional, financial, aesthetical, technological, and collaboration with other disciplines such as structural engineering and construction management
A Collaborative Scheme for DFX Techniques in Concurrent Engineering Mitigated with Total Design Activity Model
Authors: Itani Anas , Ahmad Rafiq , Al-Hussein Mohamed
Published: July 2019

Industry 4.0 has sparked rapid changes in the manufacturing and construction sectors, leading to a significant shift in how off-site factory-based panelized construction machines are designed and manufactured. Concurrent engineering which seeks to close the gap between design and manufacturing sectors provides an ideal environment for machine development. It is a systematic methodology to integrate machines holistic concurrent design activities and their related processes. Competition arising in the marketplace for newly developed machines is driving modifications in the way machine designers develop production machines. Thus, to boost the efficiency in concurrent machine development, appropriate evaluation, and decision analysis tools required to be developed and utilized. Currently, there is no DFX selection tool available to aid the designer in concurrent machine design applications. In this paper, these challenges are addressed through a comprehensive qualitative literature review of DFX techniques with their implementation in Stuart Pugh: Total Design Activity Model. Various DFX techniques are mapped and clustered in a collaborative scheme, interactions and links between them are identified, and the relative importance weight of each is calculated. A description of a functional DFX scheme is proposed in this paper that can aid designers in establishing lean design processes for machine development and reveals its potential application in Multi-DFX fuzzy multi-criteria decision-support system.
Accessibility-Based Location Selection for Building Panelized Housing for Seniors
Authors: Chen Yuan , Yin Xianfei , Bouferguene Ahmed , Zhang Yuxuan , Al-Hussein Mohamed , Liu Bingsheng
Published: July 2019

Population ageing is stimulating an increase in the demand for housing suitable for seniors. To meet the demand, the market share of senior housing needs to increase substantially in a relatively short period of time; therefore, panelized construction, as an efficient, economical, and environmentally-friendly construction method, can be regarded as a promising building approach to meet urgent demand for multi-unit housing. However, prior to construction, decisions regarding the location selection for building panelized housing can have a great influence on the level of accessibility that seniors have to neighbouring facilities and services, further affecting their health and quality of life. Based on this, the research presented in this paper aims to search potential land areas for panelized housing developments for seniors from the perspective of accessibility. A set of methods is proposed to define the opportunities and constraints for potential land, measure the accessibility, and select the most suitable location for senior housing by means of suitability analysis. A case study of Edmonton is then analyzed to illustrate the application of these methods.
Decision Support Tool for Enhancing the Economic Impact of Construction using Offsite Systems
Authors: Duncheva Tsvetomila , Hairstans Robert
Published: July 2019

The construction industry is facing productivity stagnation across the globe, and several hypotheses to explain this phenomenon exist, most often associated with low use of digitisation, skills shortages and unpredictable market trends. Yet the economic context is more multi-faceted and the different economic drivers are closely interconnected, however research typically addresses each in isolation. This research paper aims to decipher the influence of key economic drivers on the economy, using the UK context as a barometer for international trends, and proposes how offsite technologies with varying levels of value added in the factory may be utilised to mitigate economic challenges. To achieve this, two key objectives were set: firstly to propose a theoretical framework supported by previous research on decision-support for offsite systems; and secondly to develop an infographic style visualisation to express this theoretical framework as an interactive tool. Following from the dual nature of the research objectives, the research employs a mixed methodology rooted in qualitative research techniques dealing with complex subject matters. A robust literature review with associated subsequent framework proposal was the first stage of the research, followed by data visualisation experiments and tools usability trials using focus group methods to collect preliminary data. The results indicated that there was existing evidence upon which to base the theoretical framework for enhancing economic impact using offsite solutions, with six key strands: sustainability, culture, human capital, productivity, digitisation and regulatory. However, the visualisation of this framework into an interactive tool was a novel concept and required an inter-disciplinary approach for data representation. Overall, this paper presents a unique qualitative tool, which can be utilised to simplify the concepts behind offsite construction and the potential economic impact of using offsite. The tool is aimed at decision-makers and stakeholders who may not be familiar with modern methods of construction, and those who would like to prioritise offsite benefits in a given scenario.
Environmental Benefits of Reusable Modular Mass Timber Construction for Residential use in Japan: an LCA Approach
Authors: Passarelli Rafael Novais
Published: July 2019

The demand for wooden buildings in Japan consistently reaches figures over 50 million square meters per year. However, the building industry in Japan is based on the constant renewal of the building stock, leading to a short average lifespan, and an unsustainable and wasteful system both from the environmental and economic point of view. As an alternative to this situation, this study assesses the environmental benefits of a modular mass timber system using CLT, designed for consecutive reuse. First, the study presents an award-winning proposal for a modular, reusable mass timber system for residential construction in Japan. After, the study calculates the Global Warming Potential of construction (GWP) of the reusable system in comparison to a conventional mass timber system (benchmark), using the Lifecycle Assessment (LCA) method. The study evaluates the proposed system in two different locations, within 60 years. Three different scenarios for forest resources are considered during the above time-frame, namely stable forest (standard), growing forest (optimistic) and decreasing forest resources (pessimist) to understand how changes in the carbon flow of forests could impact the environmental output of the construction. The results show a modular construction system can be used to provide high-quality dwellings in Japan leading to a significant potential for mitigating the impacts of construction on the environment. More specifically, a growing forest scenario provides the smallest GWP, more than 100% smaller than the benchmark.
Lateral Performance of Cross-laminated Timber Shear Walls: Analytical and Numerical Investigations
Authors: Shahnewaz Md , Tannert Thomas , Popovski Marjan
Published: July 2019

Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is becoming a viable option for mid-rise buildings in North America. CLT walls are very effective in resisting lateral forces resulting from wind and seismic loads, yet no standard provisions are available to estimate the resistance of CLT shear walls under lateral loading. The present research investigated CLT shear wall’s performance by evaluating the preferred kinematic rocking behaviour. An analytical procedure was proposed to estimate the resistance of CLT shear walls in a platform type construction. Finite element models of CLT shear with various brackets and hold-downs connections were developed. The models were validated against experimental results. Furthermore, a parametric study on CLT shear walls with the variation of type and number of connectors was conducted. The resistance estimated from parametric study and against analytical were compared. The proposed formulas can be useful tool for the design of CLT platform-type buildings, however, require further experimental validation.
Calibrating CII RT283’s Modularization Critical Success Factor Accomplishments
Authors: Choi Jin Ouk , O’Connor James T. , Kwak Young Hoon , Ghimire Rajarshi
Published: July 2019

Modularization is a well-known construction technique where sections of the job are moved from on-site to a fabrication shop. Previously, the researchers identified the 21 most influential Critical Success Factors (CSFs) for successful modularization and quantified the degree of each CSF’s accomplishment by conducting a survey with 19 subject matter experts, and a case study with three modular projects. Through this methodology, the findings relied on the experience of experts. However, still missing from the understanding of modularization CSFs is a validation of the current degree of each CSF’s accomplishment by examining actual modular projects using a sufficient number of samples. This paper presents a comparison of CSF accomplishment degree between 25 actual sample projects (project based) and the industry experts’ survey results (experience-based estimation). The study results indicate that the industry experts made a good estimation of the current occurrence degree of each CSF. The study did identify, however, three significantly overestimated CSFs and three underestimated CSFs. The three most overestimated CSFs are Owner-Furnished/Long Lead Equipment Specification, Cost Savings Recognition, and O&M Provisions. The three most underestimated CSFs are Contractor Experience, Management of Execution Risks, and Transport Delay Avoidance. This study will help the industry to 1) better understand modularization CSFs and their accomplishment statuses; 2) achieve higher modular project performance by accomplishing the CSFs
On the instability of the Millionshchikov linear systems depending on a real parameter
Authors: Lipnitskii A. V.
Published: July 2019

The present article considers one-parameter families of second-order linear differential systems with a coefficient matrix depending on the real parameter, which is a diagonal matrix at each odd time interval of unit length. The Cauchy matrix is the rotation matrix at each odd time interval, whereas the angle is the sum of a parameter value and some real number. Earlier, it has been has proved that the upper Lyapunov exponent of each such a system, which is considered to be the function of parameter, is positive on the set of the positive Lebesque measure if the diagonal part of the coefficient matrix is independent on a parameter and separated from zero. The proof of this result essentially uses a complex matrix of special type. In recent article, the author has given another way to prove this theorem based on implementing the Parseval equality for trygonometric sums. Besides, the author considers the special case of the above systems. Now the diagonal part of the coefficient matrix is time-independent and is sufficiently big, whereas the rotation angle is defined by a maximum degree of two that divides the number of the corresponding time interval. For such a system, in the case of a continious coefficient dependence on a parameter it is proved that such a value exists, at which the corresponding system is unstable.
Method of presenting a product as an object of digitalization of manufactoring by a structured set of modules
Authors: Bazrov B. M. , Kheifetz M. L.
Published: July 2019

The shortcomings of the traditional description of mechanical engineering product are shown, which are based on technological features oriented to single, typical and group operations of the technological process. It was proposed to represent the design of product and its parts with a structured set of relevant technological modules, in the form of a graph of hierarchical structure. The numerical characteristics of the structure of the graph of product, its levels, nodes, branches are considered. The description of the structures of products by a hierarchical graph at the first level makes it possible to identify the functional technological modules of products and, on their basis, to construct a unified classification and to suggest coding products, both for production objects and operation. Representation of parts by a set of modules allows identifying surface modules, working and binding, and on their basis to build a single classification of parts focused on different stages of the product life cycle. The presence of a unified methodological base allows managing the development of constructively complex products, minimizing duplication in the creation of new designs and effectively developing resource-saving technologies for their manufacture.

In order to therapeutically destroy cancer neoplasms, chemotherapy or radiotherapy are commonly used. In the isotope medicine, however, medical isotopes of the short-lived radionuclides are injected into the tumor (59Fe,90Y,95Zr,99mTc,106Ru,114*In,147Eu,148Eu,155Eu,170Tm,188Re,210Po,222Rn,230U,237Pu,240Cm,241Cm,253Es). Binary, or neutroncapturing, technology is a technology developed for the selective effect on malignant tumors and using a tropic to tumors preparations containing non-radioactive nuclides (10B,113Cd,157Gd et. al.). Triadic technology is a sequential administration of a combination of two or more separately inactive and harmless components tropic to tumor tissues that can selectively accumulate in them or react with each other to destroy tumors under certain external impacts. The aim of this work is the quantum-chemical modeling of the electronic structure and the analysis of the thermodynamic stability of the new methotrexate containing nanoscale fullerenolic radionuclide tumor-fghting agents. The need for preliminary studies on modeling of such objects is caused by the very high labor intensity, cost and complexity of their practical preparation.

The possibility of purification of circulating solutions containing triethanolamine from CaCl2 impurities by introducing into them potassium carbonate is shown. This process procceds according to the reaction K2CO3 + CaCl2 → ↓CaCO3 + 2KCl. The inﬂuence of the consumption rate of potassium carbonate has been studied. It is shown that at the stoichiometric consumption rate of K2CO3, the content of Ca2+ ions in the liquid phase was 0,02 %, while with a K2CO3 deficiency of the stoichiometric consumption rate of 70 and 50 %, this value was 0,43 and 0,92 %, respectively. It has been established that the circulating solutions purified from CaCl2 can be used in the conversion of new portions of KCl and phosphogypsum.
Structural and phase states of titanium borides produced by the self-propagating high-temperature synthesis method in the field of ultrasound oscillations
Authors: Klubovich V. V. , Kulak M. M. , Khina B. B.
Published: July 2019

The effect of ultrasound oscillations (USO) on the velocity and temperature of combustion during self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) in the Ti-B system and structural and phase states of the produced titanium borides is studied using the earlier developed experimental setup. The effect of USO on SHS is subdivided into thermal and physical (non-thermal). The thermal influence is connected with cooling of the specimen surface because of the occurrence of forced convection of the ambient gas, and the physical effect is due to the action of USO on complex interaction processes in the SHS wave such as melt spreading, heterogeneous reactions and mass transfer in the liquid phase. Imposition of USO on the SHS process brings about changes in the phase composition of the synthesis products. For charge composition Ti–1.0В the content of orthorhombic modification of phase TiB increases from 78.2 % without USO to 82.9 % at the USO amplitude ξ = 10 mm, while the content of the cubic modification of this phase decreases from 9.2 % at ξ= 0 to 6.8 % at ξ = 10 mm. For all the examined compositions, the amount of residual titanium and Ti3B4decreases and the content of TiB2increases. It is determined that carrying out SHS in the field of USO results in a change of the specific heat capacity of the target synthesis products: with raising the USO amplitude it increases by 4–5 %. Thereby it is shown that imposition of USO on SHS is an efficient physical method for purposeful regulation of structural and phase states and therefore properties of the synthesis products and can be used as a means for controlling the synthesis process.
Strengthening of the composite materials based on metal matrix and carbon nanotubes
Authors: Pasovets V. N. , Kovtun V. A.
Published: July 2019

Carbon nanotube (CNT)-reinforced powder nanocomposites based on copper matrix were successfully fabricated using a spark plasma sintering method. In this work, the mechanisms of hardening the metal matrix with nanosized filler particles were shown. A comparative analysis of the calculated and experimental values of the ultimate compressive strength for samples based on the copper matrix and carbon nanotubes was performed. Linear and root-mean-square models of hardening of composite materials with nano-sized filler were presented. The root-mean-square model allowed us to calculate reliably the values of the ultimate compressive strength at a concentration of CNT in the material up to 0.07 wt.%. The ultimate compressive strength decreases sharply when the content of CNTs in the material is more than 0.07 wt.%. The Orovan mechanism is the predominant mechanism of strengthening of composite materials: copper – CNT. The predominance of Orovan mechanism over other strengthening mechanisms is explained by the relatively low transfer efficiency of the load between the initial components of the material due to the weak interfacial connection between the matrix and the filler, the insufficiently uniform distribution of CNTs in the metal matrix, the agglomeration of nanosized filler, the location of a certain number of CNTs in the pore space of the metal matrix, the presence of pores of irregular shape. The results of the work were used in the development of new antifriction composite materials with improved strength properties for friction units of machines and mechanisms for various purposes.

The derivatives of fatty acids are considered as promising bases for the development of medicinal and cosmetic agents. In this regard, it is necessary to study their potential toxicity, including chronic. In repeated toxicity experiments on mice of C57BL6 line, the administration of N-palmitoyl-5-aminolevulinic acid (within liposomes) for 62 days was less toxic than N-palmitoylglycine injected in the same regimen, which resulted in lower mortality of animals. The toxic eﬀects of high doses, both PalGly and Pal-5-ALA, are characterized by a gender dependence: males were more sensitive to PalGly, whereas females - to Pal-5-Ala. Chronic administration of liposomes of phosphatidylcholine (without N-acylamino acids) caused the death of several mice, suggesting that the toxic eﬀects of PalGly and Pal-5-ALA in liposomal form are at least partly due to the inﬂuence of the liposomes themselves.

The present study is devoted to search for the opportunities of early diagnosis of the development of contrastinduced nephropathy when performing coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with a chronic ischemic heart disease. The predicative ability of modern biomarkers was studied in comparison with serum creatinine. Baseline serum β2-microglobulin levels >1.1 mg/l can be attributed to patients at a high risk of developing complications. Increasing the level of cystatin C in the blood by 25 % from baseline after 24 hours or >1.064 mg/l, increasing the level of β2-microglobulin in blood after 24 hours > 1.42 mg/l allows you to diagnose acute kidney damage, before the creatinine dynamics and can be used in routine clinical practice. The determination of neutrophil lipocalin in the urine improves the accuracy of diagnosis, but is difficult in routine practice.
Eﬀect of electromagnetic radiation from a mobile phone (1745 MHz) on the condition of the reproductive system of male rats during their postnatal development
Authors: Chueshova N. V. , Vismont F. I. , Cheshyk I. A.
Published: July 2019

A comprehensive assessment of the morphofunctional changes in the reproductive system of male rats of several age groups was carried out, starting from the prepubertal period (50–52 days) and until they reach puberty (4,5 months) under the conditions of exposure to low-intensity electromagnetic radiation from a mobile phone (EMR MP, 1745 MHz, power density of 0.2–20 µW/cm2). It was established that the nature of the revealed morphofunctional changes in the reproductive system of male rats exposed to low-intensity EMR from MT largely depends on the exposure duration and the age of animals. The impact of EMR from MT (for 7 days) on the body of male rats during puberty leads to significant changes in the developing reproductive system. Namely, against the background of an increase in the mass of epididymis and seminal vesicles, the development of degenerative changes in the testes was revealed, manifested by the inhibition of the proliferative activity and the activation of diﬀerentiation of spermatogenic epithelial cells – spermatids, which is accompanied by a significant increase in the number of epididymal spermatozoa (early puberty), while their viability decreases and serum testosterone concentrations increase. On the contrary, the prolonged (for 60 and 90 days) exposure of EMR from MT to the organism of male rats from the early puberty period and until they reach puberty is characterized by a weakly expressed spermatogenic epithelium reaction, but also the most characteristic decrease in the number and viability of spermatozoa, as well as by the increase in concentration of testosterone in blood serum. The complex of identified disorders in the morphofunctional state of the reproductive system of male rats indicates the inhibition of its function under the inﬂuence of low-intensity EMR from MT, which may be a factor aﬀecting the decline in male fertility.

Touchy Issues in Muslim - West Relations
Authors: Abdullahi Jibia Aliyu
Published: July 2019

This paper seeks to explore the sour relationship underlying Muslims and their Western counterparts; a relationship that spanned several centuries and traversed regions and climes. The paper surveys the long years of contact between Islam and the West and shows how, despite the long years of contact and interactions, the relationship has continued to remain sour, not so cordial and often replete with conflict, clashes and at times, wars and bloodshed. The paper surveys this age-old relation and shows how it is punctuated by animosity, mutual distrust, bigotry, fear and uneasy calm. The Paper concludes by debunking the treachery, the sinister motives as well as the pathological hatred of anything Muslim and Islamic that is often exhibited by the West on the nation of Islam.

Krueng Baro merupakan salah satu sungai yang berada di wilayah Aceh, khususnya Kabupaten Aceh Pidie. Sungai Krueng Baro merupakan sungai yang banyak digunakan untuk keperluan pertanian. Sebagai sungai yang berpotensi dan melintasi kota serta pemukiman penduduk, maka perlu diketahui bentuk profil alirannya. Profil aliran ini digunakan untuk membantu menyelesaikan persoalan design di lapangan. Pada daerah muara, profil aliran yang terjadi sangat dipengaruhi adanya pasang surut. Pasang surut yang terjadi dapat menyebabkan tinggi air maksimum dan juga menyebabkan turunnya permukaan air. Profil aliran dihitung dengan menggunakan metode tahapan langsung. Pengolahan data pasang surut ini mencapai  ketinggian rata-rata (Ho) adalah 1,5 m. Hasil data perhitungan dengan tahapan langsung, menunjukkan profil aliran mengikuti aliran dengan polynomial orde 6 dengan R mendekati 0,997. Garis Energi yang terbentuk dipengaruhi oleh pasang surut yang terjadi. Aliran akan menjadi normal ketika, aliran sungai tidak mendapat gaya dorong dari aliran pasang surut sejauh jarak 15 km dari garis pantai.Hasil perhitungan profil aliran ini menghasilkan pengempangan aliran air yang perlu perlindungan tanggul sungai disekitar daerah muara Krueng Baro, serta dapat dimanfaatkan untuk pengisi air pada bangunan sadap terdekat yaitu BAU 15.

DERIVAS CRIMINOLÓGICAS DE LA GUBERNAMENTALIDAD: MAPAS DEL DELITO Y GRILLA DE INTELIGIBILIDAD ECONOMICISTA
Authors: Abiuso Federico Luis
Published: July 2019

Tomando como punto de partida las elaboraciones de Michel Foucault, en este artículo propongo describir dos de las derivas criminológicas de la gubernamentalidad. La primera de ellas vinculada a una de las tecnologías mediante la cual se pretend egobernar la cuestión criminal: la construcción de mapas del delito. La segunda, referida a la aplicación de una grilla de inteligibilidad economicista sobre los comportamientos delictivos y a la definición del delincuente como homo economicus. Ambas fueron reconstruidas a partir del análisis de dos registros documentales producidos desde Argentina, y con eje en el ámbito de la ciudad de Buenos Aires: el Segundo Informe de Conflictividad (2010), producido por el Ministerio Publico Fiscal de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires, y algunos artículos de la Revista de Policía y Criminalística, editada entre 1995 y 2011 por la propia editorial de la Policía Federal Argentina.

Stres merupakan beban pikiran yang berat yang menganggu kejiwaan seseorang. Stres dapat mengancam siapa saja, pada usia remaja maupun dewasa. Diusia remaja stres dipicu oleh kehidupan sosial mereka seperti hubungan keluarga, pertemanan atau masalah akademik. Sedangkan diusia dewasa kebanyakan dari mereka stres karena beban pekerjaan atau masalah rumah tangga. Beban dan tekanan yang berat membuat seseorang tidak dapat mengontrol emosi dalam diri mereka. Kebanyakan dari mereka melakukan tindak kriminalitas seperti pembunuhan, mencuri, atau tawuran. Hal tersebut terjadi dikarenakan hasrat ingin mengeluarkan semua beban pikiran tetapi dengan cara yang salah. Padahal stres dapat diatasi dengan cara meluangkan waktu untuk beristirahat dari semua aktivitas dan melakukan hal-hal positif lainnya seperti mendengarkan musik dan berolahraga.
Korupsi dalam Perspektif Etika Kristen
Authors: HETHARIA HENKY HERZON
Published: July 2019

Perilaku korupsi telah menjadi masalah yang terjadi dalam sejarah kehidupan manusia sejak dulu hingga sekarang ini, dan hampir di seluruh belahan dunia, tidak terkecuali di Indonesia. Korupsi kini menjadi sebuah fenomena yang bersifat multi-aspek, sebab korupsi berkaitan dengan berbagai aspek kemasyarakatan, baik sosial, ekonomi, budaya, politik, hukum, termasuk aspek keagamaan (moral/etika). Perilaku korupsi ini patut mendapat penilaian etika (Kristen) karena ia berhubungan langsung dengan masalah etika, yaitu berhubungan dengan faktor buruknya moral pelaku korupsi. Karena itu, perilaku korupsi ini perlu dikaji dari perspektif etika Kristen. Bagaimana pandangan Alkitab sebagai sumber moral dan etika Kristen, serta pandangan para teolog Kristen terhadap masalah perilaku korupsi tersebut, akan dikaji dalam tulisan ini. Tulisan ini pernah dipublikasi pada jurnal Tifa Teologi (jurnal Program Pascasarjana Teologi - UKIM), Vol. 2, No.2, Oktober 2012.
