Test report on cyclic behaviour of plank-joist connections of samples extracted from existing buildings
No full textThis report presents the materials, experiment setups and testing procedures directed at determining the back-bone curves that describe the plank-joist connections of samples extracted from existing unreinforced masonry houses. The last section contains an overview of the results obtained for the different specimens tested. The use of the outcome of these experiments are twofold:- They provide input for FEM models to predict the mechanical behaviour of full size floors (diaphragms) made of joists with planks nailed to them.- They provide input for the selection of materials to build up replicas of diaphragms.For the plank-joist connection a distinction is made between nailed and screwed connections. The testing started with nailed connections, which is common use in pre-war houses. The loading is applied in three ways: loading the plank perpendicular to the joist and parallel to the joist, as well as rotation of the plank relative to the joist. All specimens were tested under cyclic loading, according to a prescribed loading program.Bio-based Structures & Material
Het Plank Probleem: Het toegankelijk maken van een open probleem
No full textHet plankprobleem gaat over het overdekken van convexe vormen met hypervlakken. De gegeven stellingen en bewijzen in het artikel \The plank problem for symmetric bodies" van Keith Ball zijn lastig te begrijpen voor bacholor wiskunde studenten. In dit verslag wordt verduidelijking gegeven van dit artikel zodat deze begrijpelijk en toegankelijk wordt voor anderen. Hierbij speelt de trace-class een belangrijke rol en komt er veel lineaire algebra over symmetrische matrices voorbij.Applied Mathematic
Predicting Authorship and Author Traits from Keystroke Dynamics
No full textWritten text transmits a good deal of non-verbal information related to the author’s identity and social factors, such as age, gender and personality. However, it is less known to what extent behavioral biometric traces transmit such information. We use typist data to study the predictiveness of authorship, and present first experiments on predicting both age and gender from keystroke dynamics. Our results show that the model based on keystroke features leads to significantly higher accuracies for authorship than the text-based system, while being two orders of magnitude smaller. For user attribute prediction, the best approach is to combine the two, suggesting that extra- linguistic factors are disclosed to a larger degree in written text, while author identity is better transmitted in typing behavior
Housing in Deutschnofen / Italy
No full textDeutschnofen ist eine Gemeinde mit 3.883 Einwohnern in Südtirol, 25 km von der Hauptstadt Bozen entfernt. Der Ort, umgeben von Bergen, liegt auf 1357m Meereshöhe und nimmt eine Fläche von 112m2 ein. Die Berggemeinde ist in die drei Ortschaften Deutschnofen, Eggen und Petersberg eingeteilt. Der größte Teil des Gemeindegebietes wird von 70% Wald eingenommen. Die 260 Bauernhöfe betreiben hauptsächlich Vieh- und Waldwirtschaft . Ein weiterer Großteil der Bewohner lebt vom Sommer- und Wintertourismus, kleinen Handwerks- und Industriebetrieben. Durch diese Wirtschaftszweige konnte bis heute eine Abwanderung in die Stadt gestoppt werden. Im Dorf Deutschnofen wird vor allem noch traditionell gebaut. Es gibt sehr viele Einfamilienhäuser. Für die Zukunft sollte aber im Wohnbau ein Übergang von der Tradition auf zeitgemäße Wohnformen erfolgen, ohne dass dabei der traditionelle Baustil vernachlässigt wird. Dementsprechender Ausgangspunkt ist die Planung neuer Wohneinheiten für die Bevölkerung mit unterschiedlichen Lebensweisen und Bedürfnissen. Besonders in den Vordergrund werden junge Familien, Singlehaushalte, Patchworkfamilien und Alleinerziehende gestellt. Ein Bauplatz dafür ist die Wohnbauzone nordöstlich des Dorfzentrums, die erst vor kurzem ausgewiesen wurde. Sie umfasst eine Fläche von 9.369 m2. Die Siedlung nach Südenosten orientiert mit Aussicht auf die umliegenden Berge entwickelt sich in vier Bauphasen, die aus Doppelhäuser und mehrgeschoßigen Wohnbauten besteht. Es wird verdichtet gebaut, um eine Zersiedelung der gebauten Umgebung zu vermeiden und um möglichst viele Wohneinheiten zu schaffen. Dabei wird darauf Wert gelegt, dass den Bewohnern trotzdem viele qualitative Freiflächen zur Verfügung stehen.Deutschnofen is a municipality with 3.883 inhabitants in South Tyrol, 25 km from the city of Bolzano. The place is surrounded by mountains, lies at 1357m above sea level and covers an area of 112m2. The mountain community is divided into three villages Deutschnofen, Eggen and Petersberg. The largest part of its territory is occupied by 70% forest. The 260 farms operate mainly livestock and forestry. Another large part of the population lives from the summer and winter tourism, small trade and industrial factories. Through these industries could be stopped until today a migration to the city. In the village of Deutschnofen is still traditionally built especially. There are many houses. But in housing a transition from traditional to contemporary forms of housing should be for the future, without the traditional architectural style is neglected. Dement Speaking starting point is the planning of new housing units for people with different lifestyles and needs. Especially in the foreground young families, single households, blended families and single parents are provided. A building site of this is the residential zone northeast of the village center, which has been recognized only recently. It covers an area of 9,369 m2. The settlement to the south east and offer a view of the surrounding mountains developed in four phases, consisting of semi-detached houses and multi-storey residential buildings. It is compressed built to prevent overdevelopment of the built environment and to create as many units. It is considered important that the residents still are many quality open spaces available
Price and Product-Mix Decisions Under Different Cost Systems [electronic resource] /
No full textPhilipp Plank analyses the question, what drives the quality of cost-systems and is the quality of cost-systems directly and at best positively related to the firms’ performance. In other words, is it worth investing in complex cost allocation systems or are there environmental and/or production settings in which less enhanced systems perform adequately. Using simulations, a benchmark firm (first-best solution) perfectly allocating cost to products is compared to firms implementing heuristic cost-allocation schemes (second-best solution) to identify the profit gap resulting from decisions based on limited information. Into this discussion, the idea of cost-stickiness is integrated, thereby indicating a new planning approach.

Reference Data Set for Circular Dichroism Spectroscopy Comprised of Validated Intrinsically Disordered Protein Models
No full textCircular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy is an analytical technique that measures the wavelength-dependent differential absorbance of circularly polarized light and is applicable to most biologically important macromolecules, such as proteins, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates. It serves to characterize the secondary structure composition of proteins, including intrinsically disordered proteins, by analyzing their recorded spectra. Several computational tools have been developed to interpret protein CD spectra. These methods have been calibrated and tested mostly on globular proteins with well-defined structures, mainly due to the lack of reliable reference structures for disordered proteins. It is therefore still largely unclear how accurately these computational methods can determine the secondary structure composition of disordered proteins. Here, we provide such a required reference data set consisting of model structural ensembles and matching CD spectra for eight intrinsically disordered proteins. Using this set of data, we have assessed the accuracy of several published CD prediction and secondary structure estimation tools, including our own CD analysis package, SESCA. Our results show that for most of the tested methods, their accuracy for disordered proteins is generally lower than for globular proteins. In contrast, SESCA, which was developed using globular reference proteins, but was designed to be applicable to disordered proteins as well, performs similarly well for both classes of proteins. The new reference data set for disordered proteins should allow for further improvement of all published methods.Alexander von Humboldt-Stiftung https://doi.org/10.13039/100005156Max Plank Societ
Wetsvoorstel Drijvende opstallen: een juridisch fundament voor bouwen op water: Deel II: Boek 5 voor ‘Registergoederen’
No full textIn de afgelopen jaren is veel onderzoek verricht naar de mogelijkheid van het realiseren van drijvende platformen waarop meerdere gebouwen (zelfs hoogbouw) gerealiseerd kunnen worden. Toch komen deze projecten in ons land niet verder dan de tekentafel. Het succes van een bouwproject hangt niet alleen af van de bouwkundige kwaliteit; de bouwkundige aspecten en de juridische aspecten gaan hand in hand. Om drijvende ontwikkeling op grote(re) schaal mogelijk te maken is het wenselijk dat de goederenrechtelijke instrumenten die ten dienste staan bij de vormgeving van een vastgoedproject op land ook toegepast kunnen worden bij de vormgeving van drijvende platformen. In plaats van de drijvende opstallen zelf een bijzondere status te geven, wordt in dit artikel de oplossing gezocht het bestaande instrumentarium van Boek 5 van het Burgerlijk Wetboek niet langer te beperken tot onroerende zaken, maar van toepassing te verklaren op alle registergoederen.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository 'You share, we take care!' - Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Urban Data Scienc
The use of SCC and textile reinforcement
No full textIn an earlier article (CPI issue of August 2011 [1]) a method was presented for producing precast curved panels with a thickness of a few centimeters using the 'flexible mould method'. This method is the central theme in the PhD study of the first author on the realization of freeform architecture in concrete. The concrete panels manufactured with the flexible mould method can be applied for many architectural purposes in which curvature is present, such as facade cladding, precast plank floors or roof elements. The method essentially comprises a reusable and bendable smooth surface that can be deformed into a wide range of geometries, including variable curvatures in one or two directions and freely shaped edge contours. In the earlier article in CPI it was concluded that some aspects needed further research, among which were the choice of suitable concrete mixtures and the investigation of fibre reinforcement. This article discusses the results of experiments investigating these aspects: the mixture choice was guided by measuring the workability in time and the ability to undergo deformations after casting without cracking. Furthermore, AR-glass textile was used to strengthen the panels with a flexible reinforcement that allowed deformation in the non-hardened state. Experimental work has been done to check the position of the reinforcement after deformation and the contribution of the textiles to the strength of the panels.Structural EngineeringCivil Engineering and Geoscience
