Layar Liminal: Eksplorasi Materialitas Objek Real dan Virtual pada Arsitektur Bioskop
No full textPerkembangan teknologi pada arsitektur mempengaruhi aspek materialitas antara manusia dan materi di sekitarnya, hingga menghasilkan interaksi antara objek nyata dan virtual. Bioskop sebagai salah satu bangunan hiburan menghadirkan interaksi antar keduanya melalui integrasi antara kualitas ruang menonton (real) dan film (virtual) dalam menciptakan pengalaman menonton yang lebih imersif. Pada konteks saat ini desain gedung bioskop yang telah ada masih memisahkan batas interaksi real dan virtual melalui layar. Kondisi tersebut menjadi permasalahan rancang terkait kesenjangan teoritis dan inovasi materialitas pada bioskop yang belum terdefinisikan dengan baik. Tesis perancangan ini bertujuan mengeksplorasi batas antara komponen real dan virtual dalam mengidentifikasi susunan materialitas pada bioskop.
Proses perancangan menggunakan kerangka kerja berbasis konsep, dengan pendekatan experiential terhadap pengalaman pengguna bioskop. Metode perancangan yang digunakan metode riset berupa literature review, studi preseden, observasi, dan interview. Metode desain yang digunakan adalah metode parametrik, dengan teknik operatif quad dan nest oleh representasi diagram. Proses eksplorasi melalui riset dan desain ini mengidentifikasikan kriteria dan perubahan susunan elemen bioskop berdasarkan pengaruh basis konsep pada tapak, bangunan, dan detail bioskop.
Hasil dari perancangan ini adalah rancangan bioskop multipleks yang menerapkan gagasan besar berupa liminal screen. Liminal screen merupakan adaptasi layar interaktif di antara realitas nyata dan virtual dalam bentuk batas arsitektur. Liminal screen menciptakan suasana ruang yang lebih dinamis sesuai suasana film yang diputar. Bioskop tersebut terdiri dari empat studio, dengan transformasi elemen arsitektur berupa wujud layar berbidang lengkung/setengah sirkular. Konsep liminal screen mempengaruhi susunan studio menjadi saling bersebrangan antara satu sama lain. Eksplorasi batas teater bioskop mengevaluasi penyelesaian materialitas antara objek real dan virtual dengan menempatkan bidang layar fleksibel pada zona pengalaman dan selubung bioskop.

Technological developments in architecture make the relationship between humans and surrounding materials adapt to the digital world, resulting in novelty through the interaction of real and virtual objects. As one of the entertainment buildings, the cinema presents the interaction between real and virtual objects by integrating the quality of audience (real) and movie (virtual) elements to create a more immersive viewing experience. In this context, the existing cinema building design still separates the boundaries of real and virtual interaction through the screen. This condition becomes a design problem related to the theoretical gap and materiality innovation in cinema that has not been well defined. This design thesis aims to discover cinema innovation through exploring the boundary between real and virtual components in identifying the arrangement of materiality in cinema.
The design process uses a concept-based framework, with an experiential approach to the experience of cinema users. The design method used is research method in the form of literature review, precedent study, observation, and interview. The creative method used is parametric, through a brainstorming process with nest and quad techniques by diagram representation. The exploration process through research and design identifies criteria and changes in the arrangement of cinema elements based on the influence of the concept based on the site, building, and cinema details.
The result of this design is a multiplex cinema design that applies the big idea of liminal screen. Liminal screen is an interactive screen adaptation between real and virtual reality in the form of architectural boundaries. Liminal screen creates a more dynamic space atmosphere according to the atmosphere of the movie being played. The cinema consists of four studios, with the transformation of architectural elements in the form of a curved/semi-circular screen. The liminal screen concept affects the arrangement of the studios to be opposite each other. The exploration of the boundaries of the cinema theater evaluates the completion of materiality between real and virtual objects by placing flexible screen planes on the cinema’s experience zone and envolope

Ketapang Regency is the largest district in West Kalimantan Province with the central government of Ketapang Regency located in the Delta Pawan sub-district as well as the center of Ketapang City. Its strategic location between the location of the new capital city and has abundant natural and industrial potential in the cultural and historical sectors makes this area a destination for investment and city development as promised. Issues based on historical records,
social conditions and the economic impact of the influx of potential development flows indicate that there are still issues of education, growth, and barriers to social value aspects that have not been stated in the city itself, becoming a series of visions and speculations on design issues in the form of reviving identity. cultural issues related to the relocation of the national capital, community diversity, and the need for public space in the context of the city of Ketapang. To increase vitality, the steps that need to be considered are by doing things related to efforts to conserve cultural heritage, through a contextual approach in the form of Critical Regionalism, an analysis development is carried out by developing activities in the form of sites, analysis of precedents, preparation of historical layering diagrams & related activities. occurred, as well as a domain to domain transfer to involve force as a design in designing the architectural aspect. Therefore, the results of exploration and search for design ideas resulted in a response in the form of revitalization and adaptation of the Keraton Matan heritage complex with the addition of supporting facilities for communal activities around the area and also the city of Ketapang. The concept presented applies several principles such as strengthening the identity of the palace with a new design touch, a design that prioritizes the waterfront concept, presenting harmony and contrast together as a response to the archipelago's contextual aesthetics, as well as an adaptive productive space
Adil Baykasoglu and Nabil N.Z. Gindy LOADING FLEXIBLE CELLS: TABU SEARCH BASED SIMULATION OPTIMISATION APPROACH
No full textIn this work a tabu search-based "multi-objective simulation optimisation model " is proposed for loading flexible cell production systems. The problem is formally stated as a goal-programming model hybrid in nature. Some objectives and parameters are determined analytically others are determined from the developed simulation model. The model is solved utilising a tabu search algorithm developed by the author. In the developed methodology parts are assigned to the cells to achieve required performance levels. A capabilitybased approach is used to define processing requirements of products and processing capabilities of production resources. Parts are assigned to cells such that load is balanced between cells and individual production resources within the cells, cell interactions are kept to a minimum, required system performance levels satisfied (when feasible). Example application is provided to explain the developed methodology. 1
Além do paradigma (sobre o legado de thomas kuhn), de nabil araújo (rio de janeiro: Eduerj, 2023)
No full textWith Além do paradigma (Sobre o legado de Thomas Kuhn), “Beyond the Paradigm (On the legacy of Thomas Kuhn)”, Nabil Araújo undertakes a theoretical contribution about the production of knowledge within the University. “Além” (beyond) here, "beyond the paradigm," provides a triple key for reading. First, it is a study "on the legacy of Thomas Kuhn" and his Structure of Scientific Revolutions (1962) in a broad sense, in which the author thinks about the place of the "paradigm" in the conceptual edifice of the historiography of science. In the second sense, "beyond" indicates something of Thomas Kuhn's own position concerning a legacy such as he did not intended it to be his, in his sayings, a legacy arising from the "excessive plasticity" of the word "paradigm." This excessive plasticity, which causes a "loss of control", as Araújo reminds us, however, can be thought of as an surplus-value of the Kuhnian reflection. In this sense, a third "beyond" is performed, produced by the Araújo’s work itself, as he seeks to situate Kuhn's observations towards an opening. What is aimed at is, as the author proposes, "a truly renewed vision of the function of historiography put into play in Structure".Com Além do paradigma (Sobre o legado de Thomas Kuhn), Nabil Araújo empreende uma contribuição teórica sobre a produção de saber no âmbito da Universidade. “Além” aqui, “além do paradigma”, fornece uma tripla chave de leitura. Primeiramente trata-se de um estudo “sobre o legado de Thomas Kuhn” e seu Structure of Scientific Revolutions (1962) em amplo sentido, pensando o lugar do “paradigma” no edifício conceitual da historiografia da ciência. No segundo sentido, “além” indica algo da posição do próprio Thomas Kuhn relativa a um legado como ele não quis que fosse o seu, nos seus dizeres, decorrente da “plasticidade excessiva” da palavra “paradigma”. Essa excessiva plasticidade, que provoca uma “perda de controle”, como Araújo lembra, no entanto, pode ser pensada como mais-valia da reflexão kuhniana. Nesse sentido, um terceiro “além” é performado, produzido pela própria obra, conforme Araújo busca situar as observações de Kuhn no sentido de uma abertura. O que se visa é, como propõe o autor, “uma visão verdadeiramente renovada da função da historiografia colocada em jogo em Structure”
Load voltage regulation via transmitter power supply control for wirelessly powered biomedical implants
No full textWireless power transfer (WPT) via inductive links has been an attractive solution for powering biomedical implants. Due to the nature of the human body (e.g. body movement or changes in the biological environment), however, the transmitter (TX) and receiver (RX) coils involved in WPT are prone to misalignment, causing variations in the coupling factor. The variation in the coupling factor results in variations in the voltage that is delivered to the load on the receiver end. A solution to the problem of load voltage variation is to employ negative feedback on the transmitter end. Towards this goal, a feedback control architecture is proposed for the regulation of the load voltage under coupling variations. It is shown that by controlling the power supply on the transmitter end, through voltage-mode feedback control, the load voltage can be regulated. In the design of the controller, the open-loop system of the power control unit and WPT system have been taken into consideration. Theoretical derivations are presented and the validity of the proposed concept is investigated using simulations.M.S.Includes bibliographical referencesby Nabil Mohamma
Adapting authoritarianism: institutions and co-optation in Egypt and Syria
No full textThis PhD thesis compares Egypt and Syria’s authoritarian political systems. While the tendency in social science political research treats Egypt and Syria as similarly authoritarian, this research emphasizes differences between the two systems with special reference to institutions and co-optation. Rather than reducibly understanding Egypt and Syria as sharing similar histories, institutional arrangements, or ascribing to the oft-repeated convention that “Syria is Egypt but 10 years behind,” this thesis focuses on how events and individual histories shaped each states current institutional strengthens and weaknesses. Specifically, it explains the how varying institutional politicization or de-politicization affects each state’s capabilities for co-opting elite and non-elite individuals.
Beginning with a theoretical framework that considers the limited utility of democratization and transition theoretical approaches, the work underscores the persistence and durability of authoritarianism. Chapter two details the politicized institutional divergence between Egypt and Syria that began in the 1970s. Chapter three and four examines how institutional politicization or de-politicization affects elite and non-elite individual co-optation in Egypt and Syria. Chapter five discusses the study’s general conclusions and theoretical implications.
This thesis’s argument is that Egypt and Syria co-opt elites and non-elites differently because of the varying degrees of institutional politicization in each governance system. Rather than view one country as more politically developed than the other, this work argues that Syria’s political institutions are more politicized than their Egyptian counterparts. Syria’s political arena is, thus, described as politicized-patrimonialism. Syria’s politicized-patrimonial arena produces uneven co-optation of elites and non-elites as they are diffused through competing institutions. Conversely, the Egyptian political arena remains highly personalized as weak institutions and individuals are manipulated and molded according to the president’s ruling clique. This is referred to as personalized-patrimonialism. As a consequence, Egypt’s political establishment demonstrates more flexibility in ad hoc altering and adapting its arena depending on the emergence of crises.
This study’s theoretical implications suggest that, contrary to modernization and democratization theory’s adage that institutions lead to a political development, politicized institutions within a patrimonial order actually hinder regime adaptation because consensus is harder to achieve and maintain. It is within this context that Egypt’s de-politicized institutional framework advantages its top political elite. In this reading of Egyptian and Syrian politics, Egypt’s personalized political arena is more adaptable than Syria’s. These conclusions do not indicate that political reform is a process underway in either state
New approaches for integrating revenue and supply chain management
No full textThesis: Ph. D., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Sloan School of Management, Operations Research Center, 2014.This electronic version was submitted by the student author. The certified thesis is available in the Institute Archives and Special Collections.Cataloged from PDF student-submitted version of thesis.Includes bibliographical references (pages 165-172).First, we describe a general framework called online customer selection that describes natural settings where suppliers must actively select which customer requests to serve. Unlike traditional revenue management models that have sunk costs, we assume there are supply chain costs that depend on the demand being served. Specifically, customers arrive in an online manner, each with a set of requirements and associated revenue, and are either accepted or rejected upon arrival. Rejected customers incur a lost-sales cost, while accepted customers are satisfied with minimum possible production cost. The goal of the supplier is to minimize the total cost of lost sales and production. We provide algorithms with strong performance guarantees that are based on new variants of repeated optimization as well as concepts from mechanism design. Second, we study the use of opaque products in a retail setting. A product is said to be opaque when one or more of its attributes are hidden until the transaction is complete. Opaque products have been used in the hotel and airline industry where customers purchase rooms or airfare without a priori knowledge of the brand name. In this work, we propose the use of opaque product selling in the retail industry, where there are nonperishable goods and supply chain costs. We show that a small amount of opaque selling can achieve significant ordering and holding costs savings for the supply chain. Moreover, we describe settings when a stationary opaque selling strategy can outperform a common dynamic pricing strategy. Third, we focus on a variant of the joint replenishment problem, which arises in the previous two parts as well as in inventory management, logistics, and maintenance scheduling. In this problem, there are multiple item types that each has a given time-dependent sequence of demands that need to satisfied. Every time an order of item types is placed, there is an associated fixed setup cost that is submodular in the subset of item types ordered. The overall goal is to minimize the total fixed ordering costs plus inventory holding costs. We provide a variety of approximation algorithms for this problem and some special cases.by Adam Nabil Elmachtoub.Ph. D
Dynamic Environmental Change at the Cusp of the Great Oxidation Event: The Gowganda-Lorrain Formation Transition, Cobalt Basin, Ontario and Quebec
No full textThe Huronian Supergroup, an early Paleoproterozoic (ca. 2.45-2.22 Ga) sedimentary succession preserved in Ontario and Quebec, catalogues evidence for the Great Oxidation Event (i.e., the initial rise of oxygen in the atmosphere) through the preservation of redox sensitive minerals in terrestrial deposits: (1) detrital pyrite and uraninite in older strata (evidence of an anoxic atmosphere), and (2) Earth’s earliest red, hematitic, sandstone in younger strata (indicative of a shift to an oxidizing atmosphere). This dissertation comprises three studies from the Cobalt Basin, a northern sub-basin of the greater Huron basin. The first two studies develop depositional models of the northern and easternmost portions of the Cobalt Basin providing details on the glacial to post-glacial paleoenvironments that preserve Earth’s earliest red sandstones. Stratigraphic measurements and correlations reveal that strata are preserved within paleovalleys, interpreted to have developed from glacial excavation as evidenced by basal subglacial deposits. Above these subglacial deposits, strata show a single progradational succession, which captures a transition from glaciomarine to warm and humid fluvial braidplain environments. At the flanks of the paleovalleys, alluvial and/or colluvial deposits occur indicating that terrestrial sedimentation was triggered by enhanced weathering in an unvegetated warm and humid setting due to topographic variations. The successions occur at proximal limits of a passive margin and indicate that progradation was influenced by relative sea-level fall linked to glacio-isostatic uplift. The third study investigates the petrogenesis of reddened sandstone of the aforementioned braidplain deposits. Petrography reveals single-grain rims of pigmentary hematite dust on detrital quartz that are encased by quartz overgrowth cement. This encapsulates evidence that reddening is a syn-sedimentary or early diagenetic feature, formed from widespread oxidizing meteoric waters in a terrestrial setting under an oxygenated atmosphere, prior to burial and lithification of the fluvial deposits. Reddening likely happened close to 2.31 Ga, providing an approximate age for the initiation of oxidative weathering in a terrestrial setting, triggering key feedbacks in nutrient cycling that possibly thrusted Earth’s atmosphere into a stable oxidizing state
