The Design, Construction and Evaluation of a Pilot Project of a Bahay Kubo Inspired Floating Home
No full textIn the overpopulated deltas of the Philippines people live in are-as that see floods regularly. The floods are being caused by a com-bination of tides, heavy rainfall and land subsidence. The demand for safe and affordable housing is immense, yet available dry land is scarce. By implementing floating homes in vacant former rice fields, demanded new building space is becoming available. To come to a sustainable design that fits in the Pampanga Delta, traditional building designs as the Bahay Kubo have been analysed. Many aspects of this design correspond with modern sustainable development goals. By means of parametric building simulations, key aspects of the Bahay Kubo have been used to provide the home with good performances in indoor climate and structural behavior. Now the first pilot building has been built, the home is being tested for validating the parametric models and to evaluate the building design. The first round of test results has led to proper insights in indoor climate, user friendliness, and affordability. Initial design improvements have been made and will be used in upcoming developments such as the construction of a floating neighborhood and the construction of floating classrooms.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.Applied Mechanic
Entrevista com Rumi Regina Kubo
No full textFilha de imigrantes japoneses, Rumi Kubo tem uma trajetória extensionista e interdisciplinar rara. Criada em uma família de agricultores, deu prosseguimento nesta área na academia, quando se graduou em Ciências Biológicas. Sua trajetória a levou ainda à Antropologia, Economia e Artes Plásticas. Nesta entrevista, ela nos conta sobre o desafio de aliar conhecimentos tão diversos na sua atividade como extensionista

Least-Squares Fitting of Multidimensional Spectra to Kubo Lineshape Models
No full textWe report a comprehensive study of the efficacy of least-squares fitting of multidimensional spectra to generalized Kubo lineshape models and introduce a novel least-squares fitting metric, termed the Scale Invariant Gradient Norm (SIGN), that enables a highly reliable and versatile algorithm. The precision of dephasing parameters is between 8× to 50× better for nonlinear model fitting compared to the CLS method, which effectively increases data acquisition efficiency by one to two orders of magnitude. Whereas the center-line-slope (CLS) method requires sequential fitting of both the nonlinear and linear spectra, our model fitting algorithm only requires nonlinear spectra, but accurately predicts the linear spectrum. We show an experimental example in which the CLS time constants differ by 60% for independent measurements of the same system, while the Kubo time constants differ by only 10% for model fitting. This suggests that model fitting is a far more robust method of measuring spectral diffusion than the CLS method, which is more susceptible to structured residual signals that are not removable by pure solvent subtraction. Statistical analysis of the CLS method reveals a fundamental oversight in accounting for the propagation of uncertainty by Kubo time constants in the process of fitting to the linear absorption spectrum. A standalone desktop app and source code for the least-squares fitting algorithm are freely available with example lineshape models and data. We have written the MATLAB source code in a generic framework where users may supply custom lineshape models. Using this application, a standard desktop fits a 12-parameter generalized Kubo model to a 106 data-point spectrum in a few minutes
Kubo and the Two Strings
No full textEach day Kubo descends from their mountain cave to visit the villagers. He tells them stories about Hanzo, a samurai warrior, that he weaves with his shamisen and origami paper that magically folds itself into the characters to act out the stories. Each evening he returns to the cave, making sure to return before dark. One late evening Kubo is approached by two masked women come to bring him to the Moon King, but his mother rescues him. Kubo wakes in a far-off place with a monkey. They embark on a journey and along the way find a man-turned-beetle who agrees to help them. They find the armor they are looking for after considerable difficulty and battles with both of the evil women. Kubo discovers that Monkey is his mother and Beetle is his father. Kubo faces the Moon King who asks him to live with him among the stars. When Kubo refuses, the Moon King transforms into a giant glowing dragon and they fight. Kubo wins and is able to help his parents’ spirits travel into the afterlife in peace

Are kubo hunters 'show offs'?
No full textThe 'show off' hypothesis proposed by K. Hawkes, and tested using data on Ache foragers, makes important connections between food resource choice, reproductive strategies, and food sharing by human foragers. We test predictions derived from that hypothesis concerning contexts of meat acquisition, association between individuals, mobility, and reproductive success among Kubo hunter-horticulturalists of the interior lowlands of Papua New Guinea. Application of the hypothesis to both the Kubo and Ache cases is questioned. Differences between Kubo males in means and variances of returns from hunting arise as a consequence of differential target specialization; they do not map onto variation in reproductive success
