Lessen uit Shanghai voor de financiering van moeilijke projecten
No full textEen vervuild bedrijventerrein, een verlaten haven: gemeenten die een moeilijk stedelijk transformatieproject willen uitvoeren, ondervinden onvermijdelijk problemen met de financiering ervan. Gelukkig bieden innovatieve vormen soelaas, stelt TU Delft-onderzoeker Yawei Chen. Zij keek naar de financiering van vier moeilijke herontwikkelingsprojecten in Shanghai, zoals via private leningen en aandelen, en bespreekt de mogelijkheden hiervan voor de Nederlandse praktijk.Urban Development Managemen
Identification of novel SINEs from Cyprinidae and their evolutionary significance
No full textShort interspersed nuclear elements (SINEs) are widespread among eukaryotic genomes. They are repetitive DNA sequences that have been amplified by retrotransposition. In this study, a class of SINEs were isolated from the Opsariichthys bidens genome, and named Opsar. Sequence analysis confirmed that Opsar is a new class of typical SINEs derived from tRNA molecules. With the tRNA-derived region of Opsar and through BLASTN search, we further identified Zb-SINEs from the zebrafish genome, which includes two groups: Zb-SINE-A and Zb-SINE-B. The Zb-SINE-A group comprises subfamilies of -Al--A5, and the Zb-SINE-B group is a dimer of the tRNA(Ala)-derived region and shares a similar dimeric composition to Alu. Zb-SINEs are composed of three distinct regions: a 5 end tRNA-derived region, a tRNA-unrelated region and a 3 end AT-rich region. The flanking regions are AT rich. The average length of Zb-SINEs elements is about 340 6p. Zb-SINEs account for as much as 0.1% of the whole zebrafish genome. About 70% of the Zb-SINEs are on chromosomes 11, 18, and 19. These Zb-SINEs were characterized by PCR and dot hybridization. The distribution pattern of Zb-SINEs in genome strongly supports the master genes model. The tRNA-derived regions of Opsar and Zb-SINEs were compared with the tRNA(Ala) gene, and they showed 76% similarity, indicating that Opsar and Zb-SINEs originated from an inactive tRNA(Ala) sequence or a tRNA(Ala)-like sequence. In view of the evolutionary status of zebrafish in the Cyprinidae, we deduced that Zb-SINEs were a very old class of interspersed sequences.Short interspersed nuclear elements (SINEs) are widespread among eukaryotic genomes.

Measurement of the target single-spin asymmetry in quasi-elastic region from the reaction ³He↑(e, e̷̷̷̷)
No full textA measurement of the inclusive target single-spin asymmetry, A[subscript y] ³He, has been performed using the quasi-elastic ³He↑(e, e̷̷̷̷) reaction with a vertically polarized ³He target at Q̷̷̷̷² values of 0.13, 0.46 and 0.97 GeV̷̷̷². This asymmetry vanishes under the one photon exchange assumption. But the interference between two-photon exchange and one-photon exchange gives rise to an imaginary amplitude, so that a non-zero A[subscript y] is allowed. The experiment, conducted in Hall A of Jefferson Laboratory in 2009, used two independent spectrometers to simultaneously measure the target single-spin asymmetry, A[subscript y] ³He. Using the effective polarization approximation, the neutron single-spin asymmetries, $A[superscript n, subcript y], were extracted from the measured ³He asymmetries. The measurement is the first to firmly establish a non-vanishing A[subscript y]. Non-zero asymmetries were observed at all Q̷̷̷̷² points, and the final overall precision is an order of magnitude improved over the existing proton data. The data provide new constraints on Generalized Parton Distribution (GPD) models and new information on the dynamics of the two-photon exchange process.Ph.

Economics, cost and quality from a design perspective
No full textThe department of MBE was originally called Real Estate & Project Management (BMVB: ‘Bouwmanagement & Vastgoedbeheer’) covering the domains of construction management and real estate management. The “raison d’être” for this new department was based on the recognition that a fair amount of architecture graduates were more interested in managing a building’s design and construction process than in its actual design. These students, however, were not taught management theories and skills at that time. As a result, they would end up in the construction industry poorly equipped for doing the job they were required to do. This lack in education was addressed by our new department. Our graduates are multi-disciplinary schooled, not only in architectural design, computational design and management theories and skills, but very importantly also in building economics. The research domain Building Economics comprises research on the market and the value of buildings, and the relationship between quality and revenues, and costs and fi nance (Soeter et al., 2009). In the real estate market, the space market is interlinked with the asset market and the construction market. The Building Economy research programme analyses the real estate portfolios of investors. In what type of properties do they invest and what are the returns, risk profi les and outcomes? A crucial aspect in this is the expected rental income. To a large extent, the research focuses on the rent level and return on investment, in connection to location and building characteristics (quality) (see for instance Koppels et al., 2009, 2011). A guideline for studies on costs and quality is the consideration that organisations are interlinked with their location and buildings. An optimal solution for accommodation depends on the selected approach. For example, with a lowest cost approach, a minimum of investment costs, running costs and life-cycle costs are sought after, usually resulting in low values as well. Research on the relationship between cost, quality, and willingness-to-pay is important to understand and steer on costs and quality.Real Estate Managemen

The Delft legacy of Adding Value by CREM
No full textThis book chapter presents an overview of many publications on adding value through corporate and public real estate, in chronological order. It discusses the concepts of added value and adding value, various value parameters, the relationships between input-throughput-output-outcome, and how to manage adding value by CREM in four steps. A such it shows the legacy of the (C)REM section of the Department of Management in the Built Environment at the Faculty of Architecture of the TU Delft. The chapter is a contribution to the book “Dear is Durable”, a Liber Amicorum for prof.

Sharing Sustainability: The concept of sharing in collaborative housing for more sustainable cities.
No full textRecent societal developments, as well as environmental problems like global warming, demand more socially, environmentally, and economically sustainable lifestyles and dwellings. Collaborative housing describes a possible path to meet those demands by sharing spaces and goods. To determine how the concept of sharing in collaborative housing can contribute to more sustainable cities, the following research question is posed: ‘How does the concept of sharing in collaborative housing increase the sustainability of cities?’. It is explored, what the theoretical and practical impacts of sharing in collaborative housing on social, environmental, and economic sustainability are. These questions are answered by an explorative literature review and by studying two cases of collaborative housing in Vienna in detail. Collaborative housing as an umbrella term for different types in the research context is explained, as well as the scope of sustainability within the work. Furthermore, the concept of sharing is introduced in the context of collaborative housing. The findings from literature and the collaborative housing projects are reviewed for their possibility to make urban living, and therefore cities, more sustainable. Sharing in collaborative housing serves as a catalyst for more sustainable cities, not only by its presence, but also as role model and experimental space for housing and urban development projects.Architecture, Urbanism and Building Science
