The medieval ‘scientia' of structures: the rules of Rodrigo Gil de Hontañón
No full textMedieval builders didn't have a scientific structural theory, however gothic cathedrals were not build without a theory. Gothic masters had a ‘scientia', a body of knowledge which permitted the safe design of their buildings. The nature of this theory has not only a historical or erudite interest; perhaps something could be learned from the true masters of masonry architecture.
Literary sources from the gothic period are scarce; in almost all we find structural rules to design the principal structural elements: walls, vaults (ribs and keystones) and, above all, buttresses. These rules (arithmetical or geometrical) conduced in most cases to a certain proportions independently of size, to geometrically similar designs (for example, the depth of a buttress is a fraction of the span). Very rarely, and this is the case with Rodrigo Gil, appeared arithmetical rules which lead to non-proportional designs (following Rodrigo's rule the buttresses become more slender in relation to the span as the size increases).
These rules were a means to register stable forms. Proportional rules are, as has pointed Professor Heyman, essentially correct. It is a problem of stability and not of strength. Non-proportional rules express a finer adjustment to some non-proportional design problems: buttress design for the thin domical cross vaults (bóvedas baídas), boss design for the vaults themselves, and wall design for towers. The rules were deduced empirically, give correct dimensions, but above all draw our attention to some significant facts of design which so far have remained unnoticed

The Stability of Subsidized Childcare in Georgia
No full textGeorgia’s Childcare and Parent Services (CAPS) program provides scholarships for children in families with low incomes and in vulnerable circumstances to help them obtain high-quality childcare at a subsidized value. The scholarships are intended to subsidize childcare costs while parents/caregivers work or prepare themselves for work through school or training. The scholarships give families flexibility by allowing them to choose a care provider and type of care (subject to some restrictions). Stable childcare arrangements for families participating in the program are an important aspect of quality. In this technical report, Rodrigo Aranda and David C. Ribar use 2015 to 2020 CAPS program records to investigate stability in the program by examining continuous, uninterrupted periods (i.e., spells) of children holding CAPS scholarships, receiving subsidized care from the same provider, and holding scholarships but not using them. We find that most CAPS scholarship spells are stable, with nearly two-thirds lasting six months or more, 30% lasting a year or more, and 15% lasting two years or more. We also find that care arrangements are relatively stable, with only about a third of children ever changing providers. However, many children take breaks from their providers—often when they continue to hold scholarships. Nearly two-thirds of children have spells where they hold a scholarship but do not use it. Most spells of non-use are short and last about three weeks. Care arrangement spells tend to be shorter for older children and are stable across demographic characteristics, such as race and ethnicity. Many care arrangement spells end when families are required to renew their eligibility for CAPS services.
