No full textEffects of high hydrostatic pressure on the mechanical performance and behavior of shallow-water jellyfish (Aurelia aurita)
No full textHydrostatic pressure in the marine environment increases linearly with depth, and organisms at 1000 m experience pressures 100 times greater than those at sea surface level. Previous work has examined the effects of pressure on neuron and nervous system activity in some organisms, as well as the various biochemical adaptations of deep-water species. However, the effects of pressure on other biological tissues are not well understood. In this study, we took the shallow-water jellyfish Aurelia aurita and exposed it to pressures of up to 30 MPa (equivalent to 3000 m depth). We observed behavioral and kinematic changes that are likely due to mechanical effects of hydrostatic pressure on the swimming muscles and bell mesoglea. The pulsation rate of the bell was found to correlate with hydrostatic pressure, although the effect was small relative to the variability between individuals. Both the maximum contraction and relaxation rates of the bell were found to be significantly reduced at high pressure (30 MPa) relative to near-surface pressure (\u3c 1 MPa). The changes in pulse frequency and relaxation rate were both fully and immediately reversed upon release of pressure, but the change to contraction rate was not. Because bell contraction is controlled by muscle fibers and relaxation is controlled by elastic fibers in the mesoglea, the differential effects on contraction versus relaxation suggest that different tissues are affected differently by pressure. This opens the way for future work on how individual organisms can adapt to different environments

Block Form and Grossform: Bigness Reconsidered
No full textDuring the 20th Century, architecture’s relationship with the city underwent a profound transformation that can be most clearly seen in the changing attitudes regarding the role of the urban block as a constituent component of the urban fabric. The introduction of the car and the increasing scale of urban development prompted a reexamination of both the block and its defining streets. This paper examines the remarkable convergence of architects seeking to distance themselves from CIAM modernism under the banner of ‘Rationalism’ and their ultimately divergent positions regarding rebuilding efforts in Berlin during the run up to the 1984/87 IBA. During this period we witness the decline of “architecture as urbanism” (the megastructure), and the emergence of the theme of “Critical Reconstruction”. Explorations of collective form, Grossform, and Block Form are here considered in relation to Koolhaas’ conceptualization of Bigness. We follow these debates from Berlin to Cornell University and back again, focusing on the roles of Aldo Rossi, O. M. Ungers, Rob Krier, Rem Koolhaas, Colin Rowe, and J. P. Kleihues
Educating the Civic Architect Yes and…?
No full textThis essay situates the Civic Architect at the core of a discipline that has struggled to define itself within a rapidly changing professional landscape. Law and Medicine, Engineering and Construction have all made significant strides toward addressing the complexity and evolving nature of contemporary practice. A reassessment of the public role of the architect is necessary to keep pace with the anticipated changes being unleashed by AI and should be complemented by both, the sanctioning of clearer vocational pathways, and post professional opportunities for specialization. Our inability to address these much-needed changes and the rational for their implementation are also explored
