Prediction of interior daylight under clear sky conditions.
No full textMost available techniques for predicting internal daylight illuminance do not take into
account reflected sunlight, nor the fact that under clear sky conditions the direction of
the illuminance is usually upwards, not downwards from the sky.
The general goal of this study is to investigate the issue of predicting the internal
illuminance from natural light in clear sky conditions. This includes the possibility of
proposing a method based on the concept of the average daylight factor for use in
sunny climates.
This thesis is divided into eight chapters. After introducing the problem in Chapter
One, Chapter Two is a literature review of problems associated with utilising natural
light in sunny regions.
Chapter Three is the statement of the problem and how it will be solved.
Existing equations for finding the average daylight factor have one thing in common:
they assume that the incident light on the window comes directly from an overcast
sky or by external reflection from it. If any of these equations are to be used under
clear sky conditions, or a new method is to be developed based on the same
concepts, the sensitivity of average internal illuminance to the direction of external
light needs to be tested. A study of this is described in Chapter Four.
Chapter Five tests, by numerical simulation, the performance of existing average
daylight factor methods under clear sky conditions. It is concluded that they are not
appropriate for sunny regions. The tests, and the conclusions from Chapter Four,
do, however, suggest a new approach. This has two bases. The first is that it has
been shown to be possible to relate incident light on the window plane to horizontal
sky illuminance, and this sets a minimum condition for window design. In practice
this can be used in conjunction with a limiting maximum window size based on heat
gain and other environmental issues. The second basis is a new formula for relating
average internal illuminance to external window plane illuminance. The overall result
is a formula for predicting internal illuminance as a ratio of external horizontal sky
iluminance.
In Chapter Seven this approach is tested. Two methods are used: field measurements
under real sky conditions, and comparison with detailed calculations

Finding Aid for the Atheneum Study Club Records, 1967-2013 (#2013-0013)
No full textThe Atheneum Study Club was a literary and music club founded in Pasadena, Texas, on January 17, 1946. The founding members were president Mrs. Donald Miller; vice president Mrs. Frank J. Hinkley; secretary Mrs. C.F. Jaggers; treasurer Mrs. G.A. Hunt; historian Mrs. W.H. Sparks; press chairman Mrs. Ralph Hall; and parliamentarian Mrs. J.H. Swan. The founding members chose the marigold to serve as the club flower, and white and gold to be the club colors. “Good books are the best of friends” was chosen as the club motto.” Annual dues of one dollar were established, and a limit of 20 people for the club membership was set at the club’s founding. The collection contains program information, minutes, reports, correspondence, yearbooks, scrapbooks, and other materials documenting the activities and history of the Atheneum Study Club from the late 1960s through 2013
Clear Zone – A Synthesis of Practice and an Evaluation of the Benefits of Meeting the 10-ft Clear Zone Goal on Urban Streets;TR-560, November 2008
No full textIn urban communities, there are often limited amounts of right-of-way available for establishing a large setback distance from the curb for fixed objects. Urban communities must constantly weigh the cost of purchasing additional right-of-way for clear zones against the risk of fixed object crashes. From 2004 to 2006, this type of crash on curbed roads represented 15% of all fatal crashes and 3% of all crashes in the state of Iowa. Many states have kept the current minimum AASHTO recommendations as their minimum clear zone standards; however, other states have decided that these recommendations are insufficient and have increased the required minimum clear zone distance to better suit the judgment of local designers. This report presents research on the effects of the clear zone on urban curbed streets. The research was conducted in two phases. The
first phase involved a synthesis of practice that included a literature review and a survey of practices in jurisdictions that have developmental and historical patterns similar to those of Iowa. The second phase involved investigating the benefits of a 10 ft clear zone, which included examining urban corridors in Iowa that meet or do not meet the 10 ft clear zone goal. The results of this study indicate that a consistent fixed object offset results in a reduction in the number of fixed object crashes, a 5 ft clear zone is most effective when the goal is to minimize the number of fixed object c ashes, and a 3 ft clear zone is most effective when the goal is to minimize the cost of fixed object crashes

Chromosome 9p deletion in clear cell renal cell carcinoma predicts recurrence and survival following surgery
No full textBackground:Wider clinical applications of 9p status in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) are limited owing to the lack of validation and consensus for interphase fluorescent in situ hybridisation (I-FISH) scoring technique. The aim of this study was to analytically validate the applicability of I-FISH in assessing 9p deletion in ccRCC and to clinically assess its long-term prognostic impact following surgical excision of ccRCC.Methods:Tissue microarrays were constructed from 108 renal cell carcinoma (RCC) tumour paraffin blocks. Interphase fluorescent in situ hybridisation analysis was undertaken based on preset criteria by two independent observers to assess interobserver variability. 9p status in ccRCC tumours was determined and correlated to clinicopathological variables, recurrence-free survival and disease-specific survival.Results:There were 80 ccRCCs with valid 9p scoring and a median follow-up of 95 months. Kappa statistic for interobserver variability was 0.71 (good agreement). 9p deletion was detected in 44% of ccRCCs. 9p loss was associated with higher stage, larger tumours, necrosis, microvascular and renal vein invasion, and higher SSIGN (stage, size, grade and necrosis) score. Patients with 9p-deleted ccRCC were at a higher risk of recurrence (P=0.008) and RCC-specific mortality (P=0.001). On multivariate analysis, 9p deletion was an independent predictor of recurrence (hazard ratio 4.323; P=0.021) and RCC-specific mortality (hazard ratio 4.603; P=0.007). The predictive accuracy of SSIGN score improved from 87.7% to 93.1% by integrating 9p status to the model (P=0.001).Conclusions:Loss of 9p is associated with aggressive ccRCC and worse prognosis in patients following surgery. Our findings independently confirm the findings of previous reports relying on I-FISH to detect 9p (CDKN2A) deletion.British Journal of Cancer advance online publication, 19 August 2014; doi:10.1038/bjc.2014.420 www.bjcancer.com
