Organisatiegericht huisvesten
No full textElke organisatie komt vroeg of laat voor de vraag te staan, welke huisvesting het beste past bij de organisatie. Of dit nu is naar aanleiding van een noodzakelijke renovatie van het bestaande gebouw, verhuizing naar een ander gebouw, nieuwbouw, of als onderdeel van de normale bedrijfsvoering. Wat werkt beter: een traditioneel cellenkantoor of een kantoorconcept met gebruik van flexibele werkplekken, al dan niet in een meer open setting? Hoe stemmen we de huisvesting af op het bedrijfsbeleid, de organisatiedoelen, de werkprocessen en wensen van de medewerkers? Kortom: hoe realiseren we een op onze organisatie toegespitste huisvesting? In dit hoofdstuk geven we concreet handen en voeten aan het begrip organisatiegericht huisvesten. Er wordt eerst kort stilgestaan bij het begrip organisatiegericht huisvesten en verwante termen. Vervolgens introduceren we twee tools ter ondersteuning van de planontwikkeling en besluitvorming: een huisvestingkeuze model dat relevante componenten in de besluitvorming op overzichtelijke wijze en procesmatig in de tijd positioneert, en een keuzematrix waarin huisvestingsdoelstellingen gekoppeld worden aan conceptuele keuzes voor de plaats, de lay-out en het gebruik van werkplekken en andere voorzieningen. Deze instrumenten zijn ontwikkeld op basis van literatuurstudie, participatie in huisvestingsprocessen en evaluatieve studies naar gebruik en beleving van verschillende kantooromgevingen (Koppejan, Van der Voordt, Hartjes-Gosselink, 2008).Accepted ManuscriptReal Estate Managemen
Evaluation of Intermediate Refueling Stops in Long-Haul Flight Operations
No full textThe aviation sector has suffered a big blow from the series of recent economic depressions. Airlines are struggling to stay in business and are looking for multiple ways to cut on expenses. This has led to the initiation of studies to find strategies which will reduce an airline’s overall fuel consumption. One of these methods is to initiate intermediate refueling stop operations on long-haul flights. This means that instead of flying with a fully fueled aircraft from e.g., Amsterdam to Tokyo, the route is split into two or more segments which are flown with the appropriate amount of fuel and possibly even different aircraft types more suitable for shorter range flight. By developing a novel computer model, this research aims at finding the answers to the following questions: \u95 What are the fuel consumption- and emission savings that can be attained by implementing this model on specific routes and with specific aircraft types? \u95 What are the route requirements to optimally benefit from operating flights with intermediate refueling stops? \u95 Which costs are directly linked to introducing refueling stops, what are the consequences and what can be done to reduce these costs? \u95 How does this concept influence the airport groundside operations and what is the impact on the airport infrastructure? The model consists of two independent programs which work in cohesion to find the optimal stopover airport for a specific route operated by a specific aircraft. The first program is the aircraft model, which is capable of calculating the fuel consumption on a specific mission. The calculations are based on the fundamentals of flight and the equations of motion. In total three aircraft types are incorporated and together cover short-, medium- and long range operations. The second program is the route model which is able to identify the costs for a specific segment and determines the optimal route by use of a modified version of the Dijkstra Algorithm and an airport database of ILS Cat. II/III equipped airports. This model computes a buffer zone in which to look for intermediate stop airports and selects the most advantageous option, based on local waiting times, landing- and navigation fees and fuel prices. The results show that on routes suitable for intermediate stop operations, the fuel reduction ranges from 5% - 10%. For the total cost reduction, these values are around 2% - 4% per flight. These figures strongly depend on the mission conditions and stopover position. Besides the fuel price and stopover time, the wind velocity and direction also have a vital role in the feasibility of the concept.Air Transport and Aerospace OperationsControl and OperationsAerospace Engineerin
Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

Also By The Same Author: AKTiveAuthor, a Citation Graph Approach to Name Disambiguation
No full textThe desire for definitive data and the semantic web drive for inference over heterogeneous data sources requires co-reference resolution to be performed on those data. In particular, name disambiguation is required to allow accurate publication lists, citation counts and impact measures to be determined. This paper describes a graph-based approach to author disambiguation on large-scale citation networks. Using self-citation, co-authorship and document source analyses, AKTiveAuthor clusters papers, achieving precision of 0.997 and recall of 0.818 over a test group of eight surname clusters
John F. Kennedy telegram to Roosevelt
No full textJersey Homesteads (later the Borough of Roosevelt) was established in the 1930s as an agro-industrial cooperative community. It was established specifically for urban Jewish garment workers, many of whom had emigrated from Europe. President John F. Kennedy sent a telegram to the citizens of Roosevelt, New Jersey, apologizing for not being able to attend the memorial dedication in honor of former President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. (Jersey Homesteads became Roosevelt in 1945 in honor of the president.) President Kennedy expressed his gratitude to the people of Roosevelt for constructing the memorial, and commented that it will serve as a constant reminder of Roosevelt's good works
Logarithmic variance profiles and the corresponding f-1 spectra of temperature fluctuations in turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection
No full textWe report experimental results for the temperature variance 2(z) and the corresponding frequency spectra P(f) in turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection (RBC) in a cylindrical sample of aspect ratioT= D/L = 1:00 (D = 1:12 m is the diameter and L = 1:12 m the height). The measurements were conducted in the Rayleigh-number range 1011 < Ra < 1:35 1014 and Pr ' 0:8. For Ra = 1:35x1014, 2(z) could be described well by a logarithmic dependence on the vertical position z in a range of z 1 < z < z 2 with z 1 ' 70 and z 2 = 0:1L. Here L=(2Nu) is the thickness of a thin thermal sublayer adjacent to the horizontal plate where the heat flux (denoted by the Nusselt number Nu) is carried mostly by thermal diffusion. In the log layer, we found that the temperature spectra had a significant frequency range over which P(f) f with close to 1. As Ra decreased, increased so that the log layer became thinner. At Ra = 2:05 1011, z 2 < z 1 and therefore there was no range for a log layer. Correspondingly, the temperature spectrum near the horizontal plate did not have the f1 scaling form either

Mapping the Discipline of the Olympic Games An Author-Cocitation Analysis
No full textThe authors conducted an author cocitation analysis on prominent authors writing about the Olympics during the 1990s. Author cocitation is an established bibliometric technique that can be used to measure the relative similarities of topics written about by the cited authors. This enables a visual representation of the “intellectual space” of the discipline, in this case the Olympics, to be created for the period under review. So core and peripheral research areas are identified, along with their major contributors. The representation appears as a two-dimensional cluster-enhanced map. Subject expertise was then applied to the results to place labels on the generated clusters of authors and their topics
Sous-facteurs de L(F∞) d'indice 4cos2π/n,n≥3
No full textLet Q be a factor of type II1, λ a number in the Jones discrete series {4cosπ/m:m≥3}, and {ei} the Jones projections associated with λ. Denote by A2n and A1n the finite-dimensional von Neumann algebras generated, respectively, by {1,e2,⋯,en} and {1,e1,⋯,en}, with the corresponding traces. The author shows that, for n sufficiently large, the index of the inclusion An=(Q⊗A2n)∗A2nA1n⊂(Q⊗A2n+1)∗A2n+1A1n+1=An+1 is equal to λ (here ∗ denotes the reduced, amalgamated free product of the algebras in question). Using the random matrix model of Voiculescu, he proves that if Q is the von Neumann algebra L(F∞) of the free group with infinitely many generators, then An is isomorphic to L(F∞).
The two facts together imply the existence, for any λ in the Jones discrete series, of an irreducible subfactor of L(F∞) of index λ. This constitutes the first example of a nonhyperfinite, non-Γ II1 factor such that its Jones invariant is fully computable (the existence of nonirreducible subfactors of L(F∞) for any index ≥4 is a simple consequence of known results)
