description: In Guadeloupe the most efficient vector of citrusTristeza virus (CTV), Toxoptera citricidus, was discovered at the end of 1991. The distribution of this vector was determined based on surveys made in each locality of the archipelago. At the same time, the search for Tristeza disease by an ELISA test was undertaken and results were all negative. From now on, regular control of all the nurseries, in order to deliver only healthy material, and the use of resistant rootstock are highly recommended. An integrated control program against T. citricidus must also be started. Finally, it is necessary to continue the watch for citrus Tristeza virus (CTV) on a regular basis, so as to detect it as soon as it appears and take the immediate and necessary measures. Finally the general distribution of T. citricidus and CTV in the Caribbean area is presented.
title: Mechanisms Of Head Injuries In Road Traffic Accidents; A Potential Solution For Data Collection
Creators: name: Carroll, Jolyon Alexander
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2017

description: Despite advances in road safety, head injuries still account for many of the most serious and fatal injuries in road traffic accidents. This PhD thesis provides a summary of knowledge regarding the current position in head injury research with regard to:  Previous assertions as to head injury mechanisms  Existing head injury criteria  The availability of data to explore potential confounding factors in predicting head injury risk and to propose or validate a new injury criterion or criteria. On the basis of the existing information the question was posed, whether it is possible to validate advanced head injury criteria and head models using additional (new) head injury case data so as to make their application more robust in efforts to mitigate future injuries. In order to answer this question, priority was given to the pursuit of new data, offering six degree of freedom time-series data with detailed information on the exact injuries sustained. A working in-ear sensor system was deemed to offer a potential solution in obtaining elusive data regarding the kind of impact events that could cause head injuries for road users. An in-ear accelerometer system used by the FIA Institute was evaluated through experimentation. Then a low-cost solution was developed with the aim to give similar sensor performance for a wider market of potential wearers. The prototype low-cost sensor system was evaluated in a small series of drop tests and also in a very small real-world data collection trial. This evaluation identified a series of issues that need to be resolved before the system can be used to generate valuable data. A viable system is not ready immediately, but could be following modifications to the prototype system evaluated. Taking this revised system, the next step would be to initiate a larger trial to start the collection of high fidelity data and impact event details; in order to address the need for such information and confirm that even the low-cost system would be fit for that purpose.

description: Großes Gelände. Große Wünsche. Wettbewerb wurde bereits gehalten, die Versprechen nicht ganz. Das Projekt nimmt den Prozess noch einmal auf und bespielt die Sockelzone des Areals neu, um den vorgeschlagenen Projekten eine neue Basis zu geben. Konkret befüllt das Szenario das ehem. ÖBB Gelände mit einer Umstiegs-Stelle für Individuellen Stadtverkehr (leichtere, kleinere, tw. motorisierte Fahrzeuge). Das daran gebundene Programm ermöglicht es den zukünftigen Nutzern Erledigungen auf dem Weg zu tätigen. Ist aber ebenfalls für die Umgebung und für Fussgänger und Radfahrer nutzbar. Die Planung eine Koordination verschiedener Abläufe die nach Luft und Licht schnappen - der WU Komplex darüber selber schrumpft an den Ecken an denen das geforderte Programm es zulässt, erhält eine dadurch neue Zugänglichkeit, eine neue Verteiler-Ebene entlang dieser eine Neue Form, Möglichkeiten für Belichtung und Begrünung. Die neue Art des Verkehrs schafft eine neue Art der öffentlichen Zugänglichkeit, die Technik hierbei nicht nur Gebäudeteil sondern Attraktor und Nutzer.
description: Big area. Big hopes. Competition done, process on hold. The project resumes the process, creating a new base course to continue the discussion. Placing an entry point for new city compatible vehicles ( lightweight, small, motorised ) to the building base creates a new access area, exposing the new technologies as well as the building base to a broader public. The plan is orchestrating different processes and the program adds all kinds of services that are useful and can get done bypassing. Where the program permits the building complex shrinks, opening up to the new access zone developing new entry areas and possibilities to get light and green integrated into the building base, - it also links the area to the danube channel (recreational area). This mixed zone is open to the public, its technology is not a part of the building but attractor and user.

description: L'autore esamina le ipotesi keynesiane che possiamo considerare di essere realistico , come la realizzazione del lavoro omogeneo e la sua adozione del quadro marshalliana . Questo documento interpreta il capitolo 3 della Teoria generale che, secondo l'autore , non fa altro che esplorare i limiti di Marshall nella pratica. Commonly, macroeconomic texts seek to represent the functioning of the economy by the fiction of the one good system. Keynes’ General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money was, in fact, far more complex. Keynes theorised in an economy made up of industries in the Marshallian tradition. The author examines Keynesian assumptions that we may consider to be unrealistic, such as making employment homogeneous and his adoption of the Marshallian framework. This paper interprets Chapter 3 of the General Theory which, in the author's view, does no more than explore the limitations of Marshall in practice. JEL: E12, B13, B22

description: The International Cocoa Genebank, Trinidad (ICCi,T) is one of two cocoa germplasm collections recognized by the International Plant Genetics Resources Institute (IPGRI). The ICG,T which has approximately 2,500 accessions and encompasses a wide range of germplasm collected in South and Central America and the Caribbean is managed by the Cocoa Research Unit (CRU). Sixteen plants of each accession are planted in a 35 ha site at La Reunion in Trinidad. Characterization of these accessions is underway by recording of morphological, biochemical (isoenzyme and Random Amplification of Polymorphic DNA), disease resistance (Crinipellis and Phytophthora) and physiological (drought tolerance and rates of photosynthesis) characters. For morphological characterizations 65 botanical attributes of leaf, flower and pod are recorded as recommended by the IPGRI. Research is now underway in an attempt to reduce this number to nineteen. CRU maintains a Quarantine Station in Barbados (where cocoa is not grown), through which incoming and outgoing accessions are quarantined for two years. There are two other quarantine stations in use for cocoa, one at Reading University in the United Kingdom and the other at Montpellier in France, which are also used for the transfer of cocoa materials. After passing through quarantine, these accessions are available to cocoa producing countries throughout the world, where they will be utilized in cocoa breeding programs to produce commercial varieties.

description: Rare decays of $K$ and $B$ mesons provide a powerful probe of dark sectors with light new particles. We show that the pair production of $O(100\,{\rm MeV})$ dark states can be probed with the decays of $K_L$ mesons, owing to the enhanced two-body kinematics, $K_L\to X_1X_2$ or $X_2X_2$. If either or these two particles is unstable, e.g. $X_2\to X_1π^0$, $X_2\to X_1γ$ or $X_{1,2}\to γγ$, such decays could easily mimic $K_L\to π^0 ν\overlineν$ signatures, while not being ruled out by the decays of charged kaons. We construct explicit models that have enhanced $K_L$ decay signatures, and are constrained by the results of the KOTO experiment. We note that recently reported excess events can also be accommodated while satisfying all other constraints ($B$ decays, colliders, beam dumps). These models are based on the extensions of the gauge and/or scalar sector of the theory. The lightest of $X_{1,2}$ particles, if stable, could constitute the entirety of dark matter.

description: The study employed Tobit models corrected for heteroscedasticity and applied to Canadian household survey data to analyze household consumption of food away from home (FAFH) by type of establishment and type of meal. Results suggest that failing to correct for heteroscedasticity causes most model parameters to be overestimated. Other results indicated that the influence of socioeconomic and demographic variables on FAFH expenditures were conditional on both the type of meal and type of establishment.

description: We uncover a systematic structure in the single particle phase-diagram of the quasiperiodic Aubry-André-Harper(AAH) model with power-law hoppings ($\sim \frac{1}{r^σ}$) when the quasiperiodicity parameter is chosen to be a member of the `metallic mean family' of irrational Diophantine numbers. In addition to the fully delocalized and localized phases we find a co-existence of multifractal (localized) states with the delocalized states for $σ<1$ ($σ>1$). The fraction of delocalized eigenstates in these phases can be obtained from a general sequence, which is a manifestation of a mathematical property of the `metallic mean family'. The entanglement entropy of the noninteracting many-body ground states respects the area-law if the Fermi level belongs in the localized regime while logarithmically violating it if the Fermi-level belongs in the delocalized or multifractal regimes. The prefactor of logarithmically violating term shows interesting behavior in different phases. Entanglement entropy shows the area-law even in the delocalized regime for special filling fractions, which are related to the metallic means.

description: Quantum memories are a fundamental of any global-scale quantum Internet, high-performance quantum networking and near-term quantum computers. A main problem of quantum memories is the low retrieval efficiency of the quantum systems from the quantum registers of the quantum memory. Here, we define a novel quantum memory called high-retrieval-efficiency (HRE) quantum memory for near-term quantum devices. An HRE quantum memory unit integrates local unitary operations on its hardware level for the optimization of the readout procedure and utilizes the advanced techniques of quantum machine learning. We define the integrated unitary operations of an HRE quantum memory, prove the learning procedure, and evaluate the achievable output signal-to-noise ratio values. We prove that the local unitaries of an HRE quantum memory achieve the optimization of the readout procedure in an unsupervised manner without the use of any labeled data or training sequences. We show that the readout procedure of an HRE quantum memory is realized in a completely blind manner without any information about the input quantum system or about the unknown quantum operation of the quantum register. We evaluate the retrieval efficiency of an HRE quantum memory and the output SNR (signal-to-noise ratio). The results are particularly convenient for gate-model quantum computers and the near-term quantum devices of the quantum Internet.
Characterisation of copper binding ligands from marine cyanobacterial cultures using voltammetry and mass spectrometry

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Strong copper binding ligands have been produced by Synechococcus DC2 grown exponentially under copper stressed conditions. Using pseudo-polarography, all cultures were found to produce a strong copper binding ligand with a log K' of 24.7, assuming that copper is in the +1 oxidation state. Weaker ligands were also present but their binding constants were variable. These strong copper binding ligands were extracted into water-methanol solvents from a hydrophobic resin (XAD-16). Pseudo-polarography was used to track the fractions where the strong ligands were recovered. MALDI and ESI were chosen as soft ionisation sources to access the whole molecule. Both ionisation techniques revealed only one complex that had an isotopic signature characteristic of copper (at m/z 697/699) and this complex was present in two of five culture experiments. Further investigation of the 697/699 complex showed that it was present in all eluent fractions containing the electrochemically determined strong copper binding ligand. Tandem mass spectrometry using MALDI revealed several fragments where copper was still bound, with the smallest copper containing ion at m/z 281/283. A loss of 64/66 mass units from two different fragments suggests the loss of CuH which also implies that the complex binds copper in the +1 oxidation state. Aspects of the MS/MS spectra suggest that this could be a peptide bound to copper by thiol containing cysteine groups. However, further work is needed to ascertain the true chemical nature of this compound. This work represents the first investigation to combine electrochemistry with mass spectrometry to reveal the much anticipated chemical nature of strong copper binding ligands, present in the surface ocean.

description: Nowadays e-commerce has become an important part of daily life. The Indian e-commerce industry has been on an upward growth trajectory and is expected to surpass the US to become the second largest e-commerce market in the world by 2034. The E-commerce market is expected to reach Rs 13,97,800crore (US$ 200 billion) by 2027 from Rs 2,69,076.5 crore (US$ 38.5 billion) in 2017. India's e-commerce market has the potential to grow more than four folds to Rs 10,48,350crore (US$ 150 billion) by 2022 supported by rising incomes and surge in internet users. Internet penetration in India grew from just 4 per cent in 2007 to 34.42 per cent in 2017, registering a CAGR of 24 per cent between 2007 and 2019. In FY19, internet penetration in India was 48.48 per cent. Internet penetration in rural India is expected to grow as high as 45 per cent by 2021 compared to the current rate of 25.36 per cent. Components of e-commerce sectors, like logistics, warehousing, ITs, are expected to create direct employment for around 1.45 million of workforce by 2021, a significant jump from the 23,500 jobs which existed in 2012. The contribution of e-commerce to total GDP of India increased significantly, from 0.13% in 2009 to 0.22% in 2018. With this increasing contribution to GDP, it strengthens the Indian economy. According to statista.com, there will be more increase in e-commerce sales in India and thus will contribute 2.5% of GDP by 2030. The contribution of agricultural sector in e-commerce is only less than 3 per cent, and only 14 per cent of farmers have registered on the National Agriculture Market (e-NAM). Of those who have registered, 51 per cent have not benefited from the trading platform. Data from the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare revealed that 1.64 crore farmers and more than 1.24 lakh traders have registered on e-NAM. Of the registered farmers, about 80 lakh (49 per cent) got the benefit of trading on the platform. Nearly 26.31 crore workers are engaged in the farm sector. This includes 11.89 crore cultivators and 14.43 crore workers. But e-NAM has not reached the majority of farmers even as it promotes better marketing opportunities through an online competitive and transparent price discovery system and online payment facility (Census 2011).

description: In Aserbaidschan leben seit Anfang der 90er Jahre rund 700.000 Binnenfllüchtlinge als Resultat des Konfliktes mit Berg-Karabach. Diese Flüchtlinge sind heute nicht mehr in provisorischen Heimen und Zelten untergebracht; für sie wurden im Land verteilt eigene Dörfer, Siedlungen und Städte errichtet. Diese inzwischen dauerhaften Unterkünfte - in ihrer Grundannahme als temporäre Übergangslösung gedacht - prallen an die Grenzen einer Zukunftsperspektive der Rückkehr ins Herkunftsland der jeweiligen Bewohner, da sie durch die Dauer (über 20 Jahre) inzwischen zu neuen, fixen Wohnorten geworden sind. Innerhalb dieser Diplomarbeit sollen die Funktion dieser Orte/Städte, ihre Organisation, Gliederung und die Verteilung Zentrum-Peripherie beleuchtet werden und mittels Foto- und Interviewmaterial untermauert werden. Ebenso wird in der Arbeit das nicht offiziell anerkannte Land Berg-Karabach architektonisch untersucht, und zwar inwiefern die seit der Unabhängigkeitserklärung neu gebaute Architektur zur Anerkennung als internationaler Staat innerhalb der Staatengemeinschaft beizutragen vermag.
description: In Azerbaijan live since the early 90s around 700,000 IDPs (Internally Displaced Persons) as a result of the conflict with Nagorno-Karabakh. These refugees are no longer housed in temporary shelters; own villages, settlements and cities have been built for them across the country. These now permanent accommodations - they were basically planned as temporary transitional solutions - give a limit to the residents- future perspectives of a return to their homeland, as they have become by the time (over 20 years) new, fixed places of residence. Within this thesis the function of these towns / cities, their organization, structure and the distribution of center-periphery is illuminated and supported by photo and interview material. Likewise, the officially not recognized country Nagorno-Karabakh is examined architecturally, namely to what extent the newly built architecture since the declaration of independence can serve the recognition as an international state in the community of states.

description: Smart contracts are regarded as one of the most promising and appealing notions in blockchain technology. Their self-enforcing and event-driven features make some online activities possible without a trusted third party. Nevertheless, problems such as miscellaneous attacks, privacy leakage, and low processing rates pre-vent them from being widely applied. Various schemes and tools have been proposed to facilitate the construction and execution of secure smart contracts. However, a comprehensive survey for these proposals is absent, hindering new researchers and developers from a quick start. This paper surveys the literature and online resources on smart contract construction and execution over the period 2008-2020. We divide the studies into three categories: (1) design paradigms that give examples and patterns on contract construction, (2) design tools that facilitate the development of secure smart contracts, and (3) extensions and alternatives that improve the privacy or efficiency of the system. We start by grouping the relevant construction schemes into the first two categories. We then review the execution mechanisms in the last category and further divide the state-of-the-art solutions into three classes: private contracts with extra tools, off-chain channels, and extensions on core functionalities. Finally, we summarize several challenges and identify future research directions toward developing secure, privacy-preserving, and efficient smart contracts.

description: Heavy carbon doping of MgB$_2$ is studied by first principles electronic structure studies of two types, an ordered supercell (Mg(B$_{1-x}$C$_{x}$)$_{2}$,x=0.0833) and also the coherent potential approximation method that incorporates effects of B-C disorder. For the ordered model, the twofold degenerate $σ$-bands that are the basis of the high temperature superconductivity are split by 60 meV (i.e.7 meV/%C) and the $σ$ Fermi cylinders contain 0.070 holes/cell, compared to 0.11 for MgB$_2$. A virtual crystal treatment tends to overestimate the rate at which $σ$ holes are filled by substitutional carbon. The coherent potential approximation (CPA) calculations give the same rate of band filling as the supercell method. The occupied local density of states of C is almost identical to that of B in the upper 2 eV of the valence bands, but in the range -8 eV to -2 eV, C has a considerably larger density of states. The calculations indicate that the $σ$ Fermi surface cylinders pinch off at the zone center only above the maximum C concentration x ~ 0.10. These results indicate that Mg(B$_{1-x}$C$_{x}$)$_{2}$ as well as Mg$_{1-x}$Al$_x$B$_2$ is a good system in which to study the evolution of the unusual electron-phonon coupling character and strength as the crucial $σ$ hole states are filled.

The aim of this thesis is to promote also the protection of these monuments in Luxembourg and to work out a manual for an appropriate handling of these architectural works, provided on the basis of well-chosen examples.
title: Identification and Characterization of Potential Novel Targets in Thyroid Carcinoma: Evidence of Non-Oncogene Addiction Unveiling Tumor Cell Vulnerabilities
Creators: name: Cetti, Elena

description: Thyroid cancer is the most frequent endocrine malignancy, with an incidence constantly increasing. Despite well-differentiated thyroid tumors are generally cured by conventional therapy, a fraction of them relapses and progresses towards undifferentiated forms, characterized by a poor prognosis. Target therapies introduced in clinical testing are often unsuccessful; therefore, novel therapeutic strategies are needed. To identify critical nodal points for therapeutic intervention, our laboratory faced the “non-oncogene addiction” (NOA) paradigm, which asserts that the tumorigenic state relies on the activity of genes that are essential to support the phenotype of cancer cells but not required to the same degree for normal cell viability. By screening a siRNA library on normal and tumor thyroid cell lines, we identified 15 genes whose silencing interfered with the growth of tumor but not normal thyroid cells. The overall aim of this project was to validate NOA genes to identify thyroid tumor cell vulnerabilities and to explore their role in the regulation of thyroid tumor cell biology. Among the 15 hit genes, we selected MASTL, Cyclin D1 and COPZ1 for validation studies. We confirmed the growth inhibitory effect of their silencing in tumor but not normal thyroid cells and observed that these effects were common to a panel of thyroid tumor cell lines, irrespective of the histotype or genetic lesion. Functional studies on MASTL demonstrated that its depletion in thyroid tumor cells inhibited cell growth, led to mitotic catastrophe and induced DNA damage and cell death. COPZ1 depletion induced abortive autophagy, endoplasmic reticulum stress and apoptotic cell death in thyroid tumor cells, as well as tumor growth inhibition in vivo. Together, our studies identified MASTL and COPZ1 as vulnerability genes for thyroid tumor cells and provided the rationale for future studies aimed to explore their targeting for potential therapeutic intervention.

description: Sixty-seven lines, selections and varieties of guava (Psidium guajava) were planted in 1971 at the Fortuna Experiment Substation, Juana Diaz in the south central region of Puerto Rico to observe their behavior and fruit quality. Fifty four were still thriving in 1991. During the 1991 and 1992 seasons, fruits were harvested for evaluation as to appearance, flavor, Brix, Ph, acidity, percentage of reducing sugars and percentage total sugars. Several varieties achieved acceptability, depending on the criterion used. However. 57-6-107. R-264. D-18, 57-6-79 and G-447 selections appear to be the highest rated as to flavor and appcarance. Other varieties were found acceptable in terms of the various parameters studied. Unacceptable fruits (as to flavor) were rejected due to their high acidity.

description: The present study aimed at estimating the cost involved in production of green tea leaves for small tea growers and income generated thereof in Sonitpur district of Assam. The primary data were collected from 100 small tea growers drawn from fifteen randomly selected villages of two randomly selected blocks of Sonitpur district of Assam by conducting interview of individual respondents. It was observed that total cost of cultivation for lower-small, medium-small and higher-small tea growers was Rs.139339.47, 144767.21 and 152710.68, respectively. The total cost of the three categories of the small tea growers indicated that the total cost varied directly with the land size of small tea growers. The examination of efficiency parameters of tea cultivation indicated that yield (tonne per ha), gross return (Rs. per ha), net return (Rs. per ha), benefit-cost ratio and cost of production of green tea leaves (Rs. per tonne) per ha of tea plantation were 28.59, 483639.68, 338033.80, 3.30 and 16916.39, respectively.

description: We present a realistic dark energy model derived from particle physics. Our model has essentially no free parameters and has an equivalent fit to the observational data (CMB, SN1a and LSS) as LCDM and a better fit than the best effective $w(z)$ model. With the lack of a clear determination of the cosmological parameters theoretical considerations should be taken seriously to distinguish between dark energy models.

description: Abstract

This study is set to investigate the responsiveness of stock market depth and liquidity to movement in prices of crude oil in Nigeria. Using a monthly series covering a 52-year period, 1970M01– 2022M12, the study adopts the ARDL model to measure not just the short-run elasticity but also the long-run and error correction profile of the investigated series. The results arising from the study indicate that favourable change in crude price upscales market liquidity and also deepens the market. The results suggest that the interconnectedness between the performance of the stock market and movement in crude price can be explored to the advantage of economies in the shape and form of Nigeria. Additionally, countries that export crude oil are by this alerted to the need to build safety nets against the adverse shocks that can come to the stock market in the event of a downward movement in crude price.

description: A scattering model is developed for ultracold molecular collisions, which allows inelastic processes, chemical reactions, and complex formation to be treated in a unified way. All these scattering processes and various combinations of them are possible in ultracold molecular gases, and as such this model will allow the rigorous parametrization of experimental results. In addition we show how, once extracted, these parameters can be related to the physical properties of the system, shedding light on fundamental aspects of molecular collision dynamics.

description: The study was carried out to study the socio-economic profile of small tea growers in Sonitpur district of Assam. The primary data were collected from 100 small tea growers (STG) drawn from 15 randomly selected villages of two randomly selected blocks of Sonitpur district of Assam. It was observed that the majority STG (65.00%) were in middle age group (30-40 years). 58.00 per cent of the sample STG had medium size of households (5-7 members). Huge proportion of sample STG were educated up to graduation level. Larger proportion of sample STG (35.00%) belonged to forward castes followed by OBC (28.00%), SC (19.00%) and ST (18.00%). Out of the total operational land holding 95.57 per cent of land was used for cultivation of tea, and only 4.43 per cent of land was used to produce other crops or kept fallow. Larger proportion of STG were dependent on tea cultivation for earning their livelihood. Major portion (61.38%) of annual income was obtained from tea cultivation. 57.00 per cent of the sample households had their annual income exceeding ₹ 10.00 lakh. Larger proportion of the sample respondents owned pucca houses.

description: Crucial problems of the quantum Internet are the derivation of stability properties of quantum repeaters and theory of entanglement rate maximization in an entangled network structure. The stability property of a quantum repeater entails that all incoming density matrices can be swapped with a target density matrix. The strong stability of a quantum repeater implies stable entanglement swapping with the boundness of stored density matrices in the quantum memory and the boundness of delays. Here, a theoretical framework of noise-scaled stability analysis and entanglement rate maximization is conceived for the quantum Internet. We define the term of entanglement swapping set that models the status of quantum memory of a quantum repeater with the stored density matrices. We determine the optimal entanglement swapping method that maximizes the entanglement rate of the quantum repeaters at the different entanglement swapping sets as function of the noise of the local memory and local operations. We prove the stability properties for non-complete entanglement swapping sets, complete entanglement swapping sets and perfect entanglement swapping sets. We prove the entanglement rates for the different entanglement swapping sets and noise levels. The results can be applied to the experimental quantum Internet.

description: Die Ursprungsfunktion der Wiener Märkte als günstige Nahversorger wurde im Laufe der letzten Dekaden zum größten Teil vom filialisierten Einzelhandel übernommen. Wie die anderen offenen Märkte Wiens auch, verfügt der Viktor Adler Markt über ein spezifisches Marktambiente, das heute oft einen höheren Stellenwert für BesucherInnen einnimmt als der Einkauf von Lebensmitteln. Die Märkte, seit jeher auch Zentren des öffentlichen, städtischen Lebens, erfüllen auch soziale Funktionen. Sie werden verstärkt als wichtige Orte des Zusammentreffens unterschiedlichster Bevölkerungsgruppen wahrgenommen. Zielsetzung dieser Arbeit ist es, der rückläufigen BesucherInnenzahlen auf dem Viktor-Adler-Markt durch eine Steigerung der Nutzungsintensität und -dauer entgegen zu wirken. Im Anschluss an eine Analyse der Wiener Märkte, ihrer Besonderheiten und Tendenzen wurde eine Überdachung für das Marktgebiet des Viktor-Adler-Marktes entwickelt. Die Konzeption des Daches sieht die Beibehaltung der derzeitigen Marktstruktur und ihrer Individualität vor. Sie dient neben dem Regen- und Sonnenschutz, der Steigerung der Wahrnehmung und Orientierung, der Verbesserung der Belichtungs- und Beleuchtungssituation als auch der solaren Energiegewinnung. Des Weiteren wird eine schrittweise Transformation der dichten Bestandsbebauung in programmatischer Form zur Anhebung der Aufenthaltsqualität vorgeschlagen.
description: During the last decades, the original function of the Viennese markets as favorable local providers was mostly taken over by retail chains. Like other open markets, the Viktor-Adler-Market has a special market atmosphere which seems to be more important to visitors than buying food. Markets have always been centers of public urban live. They also fullfill social functions an more and more they have become important meeting places of diverse population groups. The objective of this work is to counteract the declining numbers of visitors of the Viktor-Adler-Market by increasing the intensity and duration of its use. Following an analysis of the Viennese markets, their characteristics and trends, a roof shelter for the Viktor-Adler-Market was developed. The design of the roof maintains the current market structure and its individuality. It increases perception and orientation, improves exposure and lightning, and serves solar energy production. Furthermore, a gradual transformation of existing building density to raise the quality of stay is proposed in a programmatic way.
