Opening-up of extra-large blocks in China
No full textThe scale of urban blocks in Chinese cities is generally larger compared to that in Western. In history, amounts of space that serves daily life is offered by those space within blocks. Today, in a time when the bordering roads of these blocks are gradually occupied by motorized vehicle traffic and the plots within blocks enclose their borders, the structure of public space system is getting vague. This paper claims that there are deep-seated reasons for such this situation which needs to be analysed with typo-morphological methods.
Taking Shanghai’s inner city as an example, this paper starts with identifying the BLOCK, then conducts quantitative analysis on all such areas with particular observation on their longest side length and absolute area as two respective parameters and finally concludes with statistic data characteristics of these extra-large blocks, following with selecting a number of these blocks and carrying out Conzen methods on them. The findings are: 1) Two main morphological types can be observed: single-plot block and multiple-plot block. 2) These main types can be further categorized into several sub-types. According to aforementioned typological findings, various urban regeneration strategies on each types are proposed, on basis of both morphological target and feasibility
Transformation of urban tissue along downtown arteries Morphometric evaluation of resilient urban form
No full textThe complexity of urban processes, which occurred in post-socialist countries after the second world war, contributed to the creation of underdeveloped urban tissue that was, in many cases, resistant to changes. This applies particularly to cities that grew rapidly, such as Lodz. Unfinished processes of transforming urban tissue along urban arteries are still an unsolved problem of the city centre of Lodz. This article aims to compare and evaluate resilience of urban tissue that have taken place over the years along newly built urban arteries. The research contributes to the methodology of urban morphometry. We consider the construction of the most important transportation routes in Lodz as representative example. Based on the measurements of urban tissue elements, we assessed the dynamics of the changes taking place in the spatial structure along the main urban arteries. Besides, the aggregated data enabled us to reflect on the reasons for the transformations and their context. This study is in line with the current trend of searching methods supporting the evaluation of resilient urban form. In addition, the article continues the research initiated by Professor Marek Koter, whose study was a pioneering Polish solution in the implementation of quantitative methods to assess the transformation of the urban tissue

Fault Diagnosis in a Squirrel-Cage Induction Motor Using Thermal Imaging
No full textFault diagnosis is a vivid topic in industrial applications or intelligent
building solutions. One of the well-established techniques involves the measurement
and analysis of current signals. However, this method has several
significant drawbacks, such as the inability to inspect during machinery operation
or the lack of precise information on the malfunction location. This
article proposes a non-invasive method for squirrel-cage induction motor’s
state classification and fault diagnosis. The approach is based on thermal
image analysis that utilizes a compact convolution neural network. In addition,
the gathered and annotated image set, which consists of thermal images
with 640 x 512 pixels resolution, is presented
Fringe Belt Phenomenon in Chinese metropolis: A Case Study of Guangzhou
No full textFringe belts are preserved zones formed fromthe former marginal area embedded in the city centre during the process of urban development, which has historical and cultural value, ecological value and recreational value. Guangzhou is the central city in South China with dense river system. In modern era, the ancient city wall was demolished and roads were built on the wall base. The Pearl River waterway and the demolished city walls had a persistent influence on the formation and layout of the fringe belts, which made the formation and evolution course of Guangzhou fringe belts different from other cities. The article divides the formation and transformation period of the fringe belts, analyses the morphological characteristics and evolution mechanism of fringe belts in these stages, and interprets the urbanization and reorganization process of Guangzhou on a new level
Performance Analysis of Machine Learning Platforms Using Cloud Native Technology on Edge Devices
No full textThis article presents the results of an experiment performed on a
machine learning edge computing platform composed of a virtualized environment
with a K3s cluster and Kubeflow software. The study aimed to analyze
the effectiveness of executing Kubeflow pipelines for simulated parallel
executions. A benchmarking environment was developed for the experiment
to allow system performance measurements based on parameters, including
the number of pipelines and nodes. The results demonstrate the impact of
the number of cluster nodes on computational time, revealing insights that
could inform future decisions regarding increasing the effectiveness of running
machine learning pipelines on edge devices
‘Landscape’ and its atlas analysis of Coastal heritage cities in China
No full textThis paper focuses on three coastal heritage towns, Quanzhou, Macau and Kulangsu, using urban morphological atlas as the perspective to build a research framework for the interpretation of a database and morphological patterns of coastal heritage towns with Chinese characteristics.Firstly, the atlas and characteristics of the three coastal heritage towns in terms of urban morphology and block texture are summarized;Secondly, from the perspective of UNESCO's advocacy standards for heritage towns and urban morphology atlas, this paper makes a comparative study of the three heritage towns to find out their commonalities. Finally, it is proved that morphological methods can interpret and express the standards advocated by UNESCO
