No full textWe own the city: enabling community practice in architecture and urban planning
No full textThe city and urban society is the sphere of Trancity. Trancity was founded by Simon Franke between 1982 and 1992. This book examines the ways in which urban dwellers, who used to be merely clients of development, are taking ownership of their neighborhood. Also analyzes this international trend through five case studies, focusing on Amsterdam, Hong Kong, Moscow, New York and Taipei, each of which discusses different dynamics and intensities of citizens\u27 redevelopment processes

No full textThis study compared the technical activity and physical movements of various-sided games within professional soccer. It also examined the test-retest reliability of sided games using various numbers of players. 10 elite male players from a Scottish Premier League performed small- (SSGs: 4 vs. 4), medium- (MSGs: 5 vs. 5 to 8 vs. 8) and large- (LSGs: 9 vs. 9 to 11 vs. 11) sided games each lasting for 3 × 5 min. Results show significant physical differences (p \u3c 0.05) between SSGs, MSGs and LSGs for most of the variables measured. It was shown that SSGs induce a significantly faster playing speed when compared to MSGs and LSGs (150.5 vs. 108.3 vs. 120.4 m. min − 1 , p \u3c 0.01) but significantly less (p \u3c 0.01) repeated high-intensity efforts (0.88 vs. 4.40 m), high-intensity running (7 vs. 39 m) and sprint distance (0 vs. 11 m) when compared to LSGs. Findings also revealed significant differences (p \u3c 0.05) between SSGs, MSGs and LSGs in technical demands (passes, dribbles, shots, headers). High levels of reproducibility (ICC = 0.99) were yielded when using the same-sided games, pitch sizes and possession rules. This study provided information on diff erent-sided games to facilitate its use as part of a periodised weekly structure
Neutral luminescent bis(bipyridyl) osmium(II) complexes with improved phosphorescent properties
No full textA new class of neutral bis(isocyanoborato) bis(bipyridyl) Os(II) complexes with the general formula of [Os(N–N)2(CNBR3)2] (N–N = bpy, 4,4′-Me2bpy; R = C6F5, C6H5) were prepared with simple synthetic methodologies. One of these complexes was structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography. Unlike most of the neutral bis(bipyridyl) Os(II) complexes, which are very weakly emissive or nonemissive, these isocyanoborato complexes displayed intense orange to red phosphorescence with a luminescent quantum yield up to 0.09 in CH2Cl2 solution at room temperature. The photophysical and electrochemical properties of these complexes were also investigated. Detailed photophysical study showed that these complexes exhibited significantly enhanced emission properties over other reported neutral bis(bipyridyl) Os(II) complexes. In addition, it also revealed that the photophysics, electrochemistry, and excited state properties can be fine-tuned or modified through the functionalization of isocyanoborate ligands
