FINANCING COMMUNITY FACILITIES: A CASE STUDY OF THE PARKS AND RECREATIONAL GENERAL OBLIGATION BOND MEASURE OF SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA
No full textThis study of the City of San Jose’s Parks and Recreation General Obligation (GO) Bond Measure seeks to identify the politics-, management-, and planning-related lessons learned by the City as it developed its community facilities using the GO bonds proceeds. The study finds that these lessons include: be conservative in what you promise the residents; be prepared for changes in economic environment by identifying supplementary funding sources should the primary source not yield adequate funds; make sure that the jurisdiction is organizationally capable of handling the increased workload; and prepare detailed project plans prior to the bond issuance.Community Infrastructure and Services; Municipal Bonds; Public Finance
Reforzamiento de una vivienda multifamiliar de 5 pisos y azotea con disipadores de energía metálicos en arreglo Chevron, Los Olivos
No full textLa presente investigación se centró en reforzar una estructura construida en base a
un sistema de pórticos de concreto armado, este fue modelado y analizado frente a 3
sismos de daño severo los cuales presentaron derivas que no cumplieron con los máximos
establecidos por la Norma Técnica Peruana E.030 (2018). El objetivo principal de la
presente tesis fue evaluar la respuesta sísmica del edificio de 5 pisos vivienda
multifamiliar con un refuerzo de disipadores de energía metálicos en arreglo Chevron y
compararla con su respuesta sísmica sin el refuerzo.
El edificio cuenta con un área construida de 355.8 metros cuadrados (m2), 5 niveles y una
azotea con una altura total de 32.50 metros (m). Los desplazamientos laterales y derivas
iniciales se verificaron mediante un análisis dinámico siguiendo los parámetros
establecidos por la normativa peruana, además de analizar la respuesta sísmica de la
estructura mediante un análisis tiempo-historia con la ayuda del software ETABS 2019.
De este análisis inicial se obtuvo la respuesta sísmica de la estructura sin refuerzo y en
base a estos resultados se diseñaron los disipadores ADAS, los cuales se modelaron y se
añadieron al modelamiento inicial.
La incorporación de los disipadores metálicos mejoró significativamente el
comportamiento del edificio, reduciendo los periodos fundamentales de la estructura,
30%, 20% y 36% para los tres primeros modos respectivamente. También se logró que
los disipadores de energía absorban 40 y 53% de la energía ingresada por sismo en los
ejes X e Y respectivamente, reduciendo el daño estructural y disminuyendo las derivas
por debajo de 0.0058.Submitted by Hidalgo Alvarez Jofre ([email protected]) on 2022-05-03T19:02:51Z

An experimental test of interspecific competition between the alien boatman Trichocorixa verticalis and the native corixid Sigara lateralis (Hemiptera, Corixidae)
No full textThe corixid Trichocorixa verticalis originates from North America and is the only
aquatic hemipteran alien to Europe. It is spreading in south-west Iberia where it is
the dominant corixid in permanent, saline wetlands, where it may have excluded
halotolerant native corixid species. In the Doñana wetland complex in south-west
Spain, it is abundant in temporary brackish ponds but almost absent from
temporary fresh ponds where the native S. lateralis is the dominant corixid. We
conducted an outdoor experiment to test whether the alien is intolerant of low
salinities, or if it can be competitively excluded by the native species S. lateralis.
We established single species tanks for each species in semi-natural conditions, as
well as mixed species tanks and controls lacking corixids. Trichocorixa verticalis was
able to complete its life-cycle at a low salinity of 2 g/l. Compared to S. lateralis, it
showed higher daily adult mortality and nymph production, but a shorter generation
time. When mixed together, both species had lower adult mortality than in the
alone treatment, suggesting they can coexist. Adult abundance at the end of the
experiment was highest for T. verticalis, which performed better in mixed tanks
whereas S. lateralis performed better alone. These results confirm that T. verticalis can
tolerate freshwaters and suggest that its rarity in these ponds in nature is due to other
ecological factors such as dispersal limitation, poor adaptation to fluctuating water
levels, or the effects of ectoparasitic water mites known to prefer the alien as a host.Peer reviewe
Maxillary lateral incisor agenesis and its relationship to overall tooth size
No full textStatement of problem: Agenesis of the maxillary lateral incisor is linked to differences in overall tooth size. Thus, the mesio-distal space required for final esthetic restoration in patients with missing one of both maxillary lateral incisors may be smaller.
Purpose. The purpose of this study is to determine if a tooth size discrepancy exists in orthodontic patients with agenesis of the maxillary lateral incisor(s).
Material and methods. Forty sets of dental casts from white orthodontic patients (19 male and 21 female) mean age 15.9 years were collected. All casts had agenesis of one or both maxillary lateral incisors. The teeth were measured with a digital caliper at their greatest mesio-distal width and then compared to a control group matched for ethnicity, age and sex. S One-way repeated measures ANOVA (α=.05) was used for statistical analysis.
Results. Males in the test group had significantly smaller maxillary posterior teeth when compared to males in the control group, with differences ranging from 0.28-0.78mm. Females showed significantly smaller maxillary anterior teeth, with differences ranging from 0.22-0.42mm. The remaining maxillary lateral incisor was also significantly smaller (1.27mm difference) in the male and female unilateral agenesis test groups indicating higher incidence of ‘peg’ laterals when compared to the control group.
Conclusions. Agenesis of one or both maxillary lateral incisors is associated with a tooth size discrepancy. White males experienced smaller than normal posterior maxillary teeth and females showed smaller anterior maxillary teeth.This article is based on the Master’s thesis (J.W.) presented in 2011 in partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Master of Science, Marquette University School of Dentistry, 2011.Peer reviewe
Desarrollo de un sistema de reforzamiento estructural de integración concreto, adobe y madera con un adecuado desempeño estructural para restauración y puesta en valor del antiguo pabellón educativo de la Granja Escuela de Yucay, distrito de Yucay, provincia de Urubamba, departamento de Cusco
No full textLa presente tesis tiene como objetivo desarrollar el sistema de reforzamiento estructural que integre de manera simultáneamente el adobe y el concreto ante la acción de las cargas de uso y sobrecargas de sismo. Para el desarrollo de la investigación, se inició primero con la obtención de datos: levantamiento topográfico, arquitectónico, recopilación de información del estado actual de la estructura, extracción de muestras de suelo, adobe, concreto y madera; y ensayos en laboratorio, posteriormente con el desarrollo del estudio del comportamiento estructural (característica de los materiales, modelamiento estructural, propuesta de modelo estructural para reforzamiento), luego se realizó el diagnóstico y seguridad (patologías y el análisis estructural). Finalmente se presentó las medidas de intervención (diseño de armadura de techo, entrepiso de madera, diseño de cimentación y diseño de nuevos elementos de concreto armado y el proceso de intervención para reforzamiento y restauración de la estructura). Las conclusiones que se determinaron en la siguiente investigación, en cuanto al estado actual de la estructura, se identificaron diferentes procesos patológicos. El suelo predominante en el área a investigado es friccionante, al realizar la evaluación de la estructura original esta no cumple completamente con las exigencias de la normativa actuales. El reforzamiento y restauración de la estructura se desarrolló para cada elemento de la estructura analizando cómo funciona de manera integrada el sistema combinado de adobe y concreto buscando que este sistema de reforzamiento cumpla con las exigencias normativas actuales. Resultando en un reforzamiento de los elementos de adobe por medio de la reconstrucción e incorporación de nuevos muros
