The Greek Community in Tacoma, Washington
No full textJoAnn Tryfon discusses her mother's unbringing in Idaho, father's imigration to the United states and his hat shop in downtown Tacoma. She also discusses her own upbringing, her community involvment and relationship with the Greek Orthodox Church in Tacoma as well as her general experience of being a Greek-American.The oral history interviews with JoAnn Tryfon forms the core of a class project by Mark Kilner for the Community History Project under the supervision of Professor Michael K. Honey. The contents of the project are contained in a looseleaf binder, which includes transcripts of the interviews, Kilner's research paper, and related research materials

Experimental performance evaluation of an ORC in a CHEST-like Carnot battery
No full textDue to the continuously increasing share of renewables in the power mix, large-scale energy storage systems are becoming essential to ensure secure and stable energy supply. Carnot batteries, a combination of a power-to-heat, a thermal storage and a heat-to-power system, could potentially provide a solution. In literature, the Compressed Heat Energy Storage (CHEST) concept has been introduced as a Carnot battery subset. Using both sensible and latent thermal storage, it optimizes the temperature profiles between the charging- and discharging cycle and the thermal storage system. Despite promising theoretical results, the concept was never demonstrated until recently. A first of its kind CHEST Carnot battery was developed within the European Horizon2020 project CHESTER. It consists of a high temperature heat pump which charges a thermal storage system and an organic Rankine cycle (ORC) that discharges the storage. The storage system is composed of a latent heat part, using a phase change material with a melting temperature around 133 °C and a sensible heat part with pressurized water. In this paper, the interaction between the thermal storage system and the ORC is studied. Specifically, the influence of the heat distribution over the sensible and latent storage on the ORC operation is investigated. The results show that the thermal efficiency of the ORC is not sensitive to the actual distribution of the heat input, as long as the heat input to the system can be sustained. The ORC itself supports a high flexibility towards different residual heat source temperatures and storage systems, making it applicable in a wide range of operating scenarios
The regional dimensions of the european integration under the expected expansion of the European Union
No full textIn this paper it will be made an attempt for a comparative political and economy evaluation of the European Integration with the criterion of regional inequalities of the european Union. The problem of the European Integration will be analyzed on the basis of national and regional inequalities of the European Union. Initially we will examine the regional dimension of the European unification on the asis of the European Union with 15 member-states (EU15). As criteria we select the different levels of economic development of the member-states examining the regional inequalities at national level. On this basis we obsserve that the member states converge creating the "hard core of Europe" and the member states diverge from the average level of the development of the European Union so that determining the countries of "community cohesion". Next we apply the previous criteria to the EU27,in other words it is useful to research the inequalities of the levels of economic development,which rrresult in the European Union,if all the others candidate countries would be able to be taken within the EI of 15 as is today. In the EU of 27 with the basis of per capita GNP exist three groups of countries instead of two as exist today. The first group it consists of the present member-states of the EU15,except Spain,Greece and Portugal of which the GNP per capita exceeds by 20% the new weighted average of the EU27. The second group it consists of the present member states of community cohesion, i.e. Spain Greece and Portugal plus Cyprus,Czechia, and Malta with percapita GNP between 68%(Czechia) and 95% (Spain) of the average of the EU27. The third group it consists of the remaining eight (8) candidate countries with GNP per capita below of the 40% of the average of the EU27, with the exemption of Slovakia and Hungary og which the GNP per capita lies between 56%-58% of the average of the EU27. Therefore, the expected expansion with the complex inequalities, will result a big challenge for the European regional policy, and the policy of the economic and social cohesion. First, the expansion will make more than double the population of the European Union that lives with GNP per capita below of the 75% of the present average of the EU.This number will raise from 71 million at the present to 174 million of people or different stated from 19% of the total of EU15 to 36% of the total of EU27. Second, the scale and the size of regional inequalities will be increased. Therefore, in the 1998 for the less developed regionsn the EU15 the per capita GNPwas an average of the EU15. With the expansion, the GNP per capita of the less developed regions of the candidata countries was on the 37% of the average of EU15. Therefore the co-existence of the poor and rich regions within the EU27 will make the regional inequalities more complex in this part of the Union which consists of poor countries. We may possibly will find ourselves in a new allocation of poverty. Finally, we will attempt to achieve the necessary interventions between the EU15 and the EU27, researching the modern problems of the EU under the expected expansion of the European Union.
Fenix II: A cultural, artistic and culinary hotspot
No full textThe Fenix II building, located in the inner city port area of Rotterdam, has been an integral part of the city's history in both architectural and cultural terms. Serving as storage space after the 1920's for the emigrants of the country, and as industrial storage after the 1950's, it becomes today part of the modern redevelopments of the peninsula. The urban transformation taking place in the peninsula of Katendrecht poses a serious question to the Fenix II building about its urban character and its role in the city. Its relation to the surroundings and the multiple urban characters around it are important for the future function and can be used to position the building inside the urban network of the city, making it part of the ongoing route among the city’s monumental architecture. The strong connection to the memories of the past and the spacious interior form a perfect background for a new cultural use which in combination with other functions can support a durable future use. The existing facade’s and structure can be easily utilized to house modern functions with the addition of installations, while allowing its open floor plan to be experienced. Part of the building’s footprint can be returned to the public realm with the use of green areas and connect the two sides of its long form. The roof can be reintegrated to follow the city’s tradition in green roofs and generate new perspectives. The different atmospheres in the interior highlight the long standing repetitive structure as one of the buildings most valuable characteristics.Architecture, Urbanism and Building Sciences | Heritage & Architectur
