Mapping the Landscape: A Bibliometric Analysis of CALIBER 2022 Convention Publications
No full textThe present study examines the authorship patterns, collaboration levels, and various other parameters such as gender, author designation, institutional affiliation, and geographical distribution of the conference papers presented at CALIBER 2022 by employing an array of bibliographic analysis techniques. The analysis is based on a dataset consisting of 45 papers authored by 100 individuals and found that authors hailing from Uttar Pradesh emerged as the foremost contributors. The study also found that universities emerged as the most prolific contributors, responsible for the publication of 71.00 per cent of the articles within the designated time frame
Eastern Iran in the Achaemenid Period
No full textThe author deals with the archaeological evidence of the Achaemenid period in eastern Iran. This evidence is limited, rare and contradictory with regard to the historical importance of the eastern provinces of the Empire. The territorial extent of the Achaemenid Empire is ambiguous too and in this regard the cultural background of the different provinces, as well as relationships between center and periphery, were crucial factors affecting the visibility of the Achaemenid empire in its eastern-most regions. Similarly, the geographic definition of ‘eastern Iran’ requires clarification as well because, as a geomorphological unit. Thus at least four different aspects of interpretation should be considered when considering the evidence of the Achaemenid empire in the east:
1. the dynastic - identifiable by inscriptions, coins and seals
2. the ethnic - possibly detectable on both physical anthropological and cultural grounds
3. the political/imperial - recognizable both in macroscopic architectural and art historical remains and in the material traces of settlement patterns and economic investments, e.g. to secure the water supply
4. the chronological - interpretable in the differing horizons connected to the period of Achaemenid political-dynastic dominion in the area
Landscape design methods in architecture
No full textLandscape has been used as a metaphor or conceptual reference for an increasing amount of excellent architectural projects in the last two decades. The phenomenon seems to be a substantial innovation of architecture with an interesting potential for artistic, social and ecological gains. To be able to better understand and critically review these projects, it is important to better understand the notion of landscape. How can we better understand the idea of landscape and its design methods for application in architecture? To answer this central question we try to find a working definition of relevant landscape design methods in this paper. Only thereafter may we ask how these landscape methods are applied to the theory and practice of architecture, and what knowledge can be derived from built examples for future practical and theoretical use in the field. This paper is part of the larger study ‘Architecture with Landscape Methods’ with more case studies. This paper however is mainly based on literature study. Currently the author is analyzing four crucial projects from 1990-present in CAD and GIS based analytical case studies. One or two of these cases will illustrate the subject to the audience in the author's poster presentation at IFLA2012.UrbanismArchitectur
'Resting' and 'Fremantle Terzinas' Poems by author Hersri Setiawan (Translation into English by David T. Hill)
No full textIn late February 1993, Indonesian author Hersri Setiawan arrived for a brief visit to Australia to participate in the Perth Writers' Festival at the Fremantle Arts Centre. A former political prisoner held for nine years in detention without trial, he managed to leave Indonesia several years ago and now lives in the Netherlands as a political exile. These poems have been translated by David T. Hill
Library Supported Scholarship: Increasing Faculty Scholarly Reach with Author Services
No full textThe directors of the departments of institutional research & training (Monica D.T. Rysavy, Ph.D.) and the Hirons Library and Learning Center (Russell Michalak, MLIS) at Goldey-Beacom College, a small private doctoral-granting institution, partnered to offer training workshops and professional development opportunities to faculty related to research and publication processes. We recently surveyed current faculty regarding their satisfaction, level of awareness, and desire for training regarding library and researcher services using Qualtrics. This presentation shared results from this survey and lessons learned from offering a workshop about how researchers can expand their online presence using author profiles
Lithium transport in crown ether polymers
No full textA series of 12-, 13-, and 14-membered crown ether rings bearing polymerisable side-chains has been synthesised. The crown ethers were attached to a methacrylate or acrylate polymerisable group either via a short link (Ring-CH(_2)-O-Polymer) or via a spacer group. Both hydrocarbon and ethylene oxide spacer groups were used, giving structures of the form (Ring-CH(_2)-O-(CH(_2))(_6)-O-Polymer) and (Ring-CH(_2)-O-((CH(_2)CH(_2))(_2)O)-Polymer). The ethylene oxide chain can potentially bind to a Li(^+) dopant ion. The relative Li(+) binding affinity of 12-, 13-, and 14-membered mono- and disubstituted crown ethers has been assessed by variable temperature (^13)c and (^7)Li NMR. The crown ether bearing monomers were polymerised using standard free-radical polymerisation methods to yield amorphous materials whose glass transition temperature (T(_g)) was controlled principally by the nature of the spacer group. On doping with lithium triflate (LiCF(_3)SO(_3)), the polymers exhibit high ionic conductivity. The conductivity was primarily dependent on polymer T(_g), but was also found to be higher for 12-crown-4 based systems than for 13-crown-4 and 14-crown-4 based analogues. This behaviour was consistent with the results of the NMR studies, which showed that Li(^+) exchange occurs more readily between 12-crown-4 rings than 13- or 14-crown-4 rings. The NMR studies also showed that 12-crown-4 systems have a higher tendency to form 2:1 (ring : Li(^+)) complexes. Within a polymer matrix, the presence of 2:1 complexes allows Li(^+) migration via an association-disassociation mechanism, avoiding the high energy intermediate state of a free or weakly bound Li(^+) ion. The greater encapsulation provided by 2:1 complexation may also aid in ion pair separation

Physical simulation method for the investigation of weld seam formation during the extrusion of aluminum alloys
No full textExtrusion through the porthole die is a predominant forming process used in the production of hollow aluminum alloy profiles across the aluminum extrusion industry. Longitudinal weld seams formed during the process may negatively influence the quality of extruded profiles. It is therefore of great importance to understand the formation of weld seams inside the welding chamber during extrusion, as affected by extrusion process variables and die design. Previously developed physical simulation methods could not fully reproduce the thermomechanical conditions inside the welding chamber of porthole die. In this research, a novel physical simulation method for the investigation of weld seam formation during extrusion was developed. With a tailor-designed tooling set mounted on a universal testing machine, the effects of temperature, speed, and strain on the weld seam quality of the 6063 alloy were investigated. The strains inside the welding chamber were found to be of paramount importance for the bonding of metal streams, accompanied by microstructural changes, i.e., recovery or recrystallization, depending on the local deformation condition. The method was shown to be able to provide guidelines for the design of porthole dies and choice of extrusion process variables, thereby reducing the scrap rate of aluminum extrusion operation.Accepted Author ManuscriptBiomaterials & Tissue Biomechanic
