aE Journal 2015/2016: aE/INTECTURE innovating architecture
No full textThe graduation studio of Architectural Engineering focuses on the integration of (new) technology in architecture. For this purpose, the name aE/ INTECTURE® was devised, which will be developed further as a brand in the coming years. Students start with a technical fascination and translate this into an architectural concept, finally being able to implement this within the environment in a responsible way. ‘If technology is the answer, what is the question?‘ Under the guidance of a team of enthusiastic (guest) lecturers, students search for the dot on the horizon that is necessary for coming up with solutions that improve the quality of the built environment and make it more sustainable. In addition, either the ‘making‘ (make) or ‘the energy and material flow’ (flow) is used and applied as a basis in different contexts.Architectural Engineerin

aE Journal 2017/2018: aE/Intecture innovating architecture
No full textDriven by the need to think differently about resources, energy, power generation, the choice of materials, and user involvement, we see the built environment in a new perspective. The program, Architectural Engineering, seeks for innovative and inspiring architectural solutions for social and environmental issues throughout all scales.To achieve this, innovation of the architectural challenge is high on our agenda. Innovation is more than just a technical improvement. How do you implement new current issues in modern architecture? We anticipate new energy, materials, and circularity. We also use the current environment of the metropolis and the countryside. We add new buildings, strengthen existing stock, and work on new components of buildings. From high to low tech. From digital to traditional, looking carefully to the context.Architectural Engineerin
Main motifs in the prose of the leftist author Kang Kyŏng-ae
No full textThe subject of this bachelor thesis is the life and work of the Korean writer Kang Kyǒng-ae, with a focus on her short prose. The aim of this thesis is an analysis of two works - Salt and Darkness - with attention to the context of the author's time. Nowadays, Kang Kyǒng-ae is considered a significant author of the 1930s and her works reflect the phenomenon of Korean emigrants in Manchuria. For a long time, leftist tendencies caused her prose to be neglected, which resulted in a considerably limited number of studies concerned with her work, in comparison to the number of studies about other writers. There are virtually no Czech studies of her work. The text of the thesis initially presents the timeframe of Kang's authorship and then analyzes select works of hers. The analysis of the works focuses on recurring motifs, which are put into a historical and social context. Keywords Kang Kyǒng-ae, Korean 1930s literature, leftist literature, Sogǔm, Ǒdu

Autour du Nepos d'Alburnus, Maior, Panes, fils de Bizo (AE, 20081167=AE, 2007, 1201) : petit-fils ou neveu
No full textInternational audienceIn this article, the author studies again the inscription on a stone of a nepos from Alburnus Maior: Panes, son of Bizo (AE, 2008, 1167 = AE,2007, 1201). If the word nepos very often means « grandson », there are cases where it means « nephew ». The author pays special attention to the Latin kinship terminology in this inscription because names and lines are not Roman but peregrine. So, there is ambiguity as we cannot exactly know the relations between all these names. Now, between a grandfather and his grandson or an uncle and his nephew, there is the same number of generations. It is necessary for one to compare these to other inscriptions and words in addition to nepos (auia, auus, nurus, gener, pater, mater) or only with nepos in Rhenodanubian provinces (Raetia, Pannoniae, Moesiae, Dacia): these 67 inscriptions are in an appendix.The author concludes that the these two possibilities exist here

Performance evaluation of the Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensing device and comparison with piezoelectric sensors for AE detection
No full textIn-service structural health monitoring (SHM) of engineering structures has assumed a significant role in assessing their safety and integrity. As the most mature technique in fiber-optic field, Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors have emerged as a reliable, in situ and nondestructive tool for monitoring and diagnostics in large-scale structure. Main objectives of this work are to evaluate and compare the acoustic emission (AE) sensing characteristics simultaneously with FBG sensor array and piezoelectric (PZ) sensors. The pencil-lead-break (PLB) test, ball dropping test and the excitation from the PZ transducer are treated as the AE source which conducted on the platy and blocky structure respectively for acoustic wave. The source repeatability will be verified to choose the source with more stable performance. A commercial 4-channel FBG AE detection device was used to compare with the PZ sensor on the amplitude and frequency response which can indicate the sensitivity of the sensors. The low sensitivity and low sampling rate are the main issue for the engineering application of the FBG sensors. Besides, the sensitivity and directional dependence of the FBG sensor have been discussed. It shows that the encapsulation method of the FBG sensor will impact both of them significantly.</p
