Geographic profiling in Nazi Berlin: fact and fiction
No full textGeographic profiling uses the locations of connected crime sites to make inferences about the probable location of the offender’s ‘anchor point’ (usually a home, but sometimes a workplace). We show how the basic ideas of the method were used in a Gestapo investigation that formed the basis of a classic German novel about domestic resistance to the Nazis during the Second World War. We use modern techniques to re-analyse this case, and show that these successfully locate the Berlin home address of Otto and Elise Hampel, who had distributed hundreds of anti-Nazi postcards, after analysing just 34 of the 214 incidents that took place before their arrest. Our study provides the first empirical evidence to support the suggestion that analysis of minor terrorism-related acts such as graffiti and theft could be used to help locate terrorist bases before more serious incidents occur
Bivariate population balance equations for progressive weakening and fragmentation of base metal ores in tumbling mills
No full textTumbling mills are the most common workhorse for industrial-scale minerals processing. Contemporary modelling of comminution within tumbling mills relies upon empirical “black-box” models that predict the bulk size-reduction afforded to ore particles, for various combinations of mill operating parameters. Such models lack the capacity to account for the progressive damage (or weakening) of ore particles prior to their eventual fragmentation, as well as transport phenomena, such as segregation, as ore transits the mill. To address these extant limitations, continuum population balance equations for comminution processes are derived from basic principles. Ore particles are represented by a bivariate number density distribution function, with particles distinguished by both size and (notional) mechanical strength. Reynold’s Transport Theorem is exploited to advect ore particles within the mill. Ore particles are also exposed to a spectrum of collision energies. High-energy collisions, exceeding the strength of particles, result in fragmentation of those particles according to a prescribed breakage kernel. By contrast, lower-energy collisions weaken ore particles by reducing their strength in a manner akin to continuum Damage Mechanics. This bivariate population balance modelling technique promises to provide insight on comminution within tumbling mills; as well as assist efforts to improve the overall efficiency of industrial comminution processes
Assessing trends in nutrient concentrations in coastal shelf seas: a case study in the Irish Sea
No full textSingle point time-series data collected in the Irish Sea since 1954 by Allen et al. (1998) have been re-evaluated using more recent data and areal winter surveys of the Celtic and Irish Seas. Survey data illustrate the heterogeneity of nutrient distributions with N (?28 M) and P (2·0 M) enrichment of the eastern Irish Sea relative to the western Irish Sea (7–8 M N and 0·7 M P). Salinity nutrient relationships demonstrate distinct regional differences throughout the two seas. Trends in the Isle of Man time-series are unlikely to have resulted from changes in analytical procedures and personnel. Concerns over data quality cannot be resolved and there are no independent data to validate the time-series. Including more recent data shows P has declined since the late 1980s and N concentrations have remained stable since the mid 1970s. The absence of a Si trend is consistent with limited anthropogenic influence on riverine Si concentrations. Trends in N and P are consistent with changes in riverine concentrations of these two nutrients and the biogeochemical processes controlling their cycling in shelf waters. Denitrification is the most likely reason for offshore Irish Sea concentrations of N being lower than expected

Design drawing / Francis D.K. Ching with Steve Juroszek.
No full textIncludes index.Book fair 2013.viii, 408 p. :Get the completely revised edition to mastering the visual language of architecture. In his distinctive graphic style, world-renowned author and architecture educator Francis D.K. Ching takes us on another exciting journey through the process of creation. In Design Drawing, Second Edition, he unmasks the basic cognitive processes that drive visual perception and expression, incorporating observation, memory, and rendering into a creative whole. This edition unites imaginative vision with fundamental architectural principles to cover the traditional basics of drawing, including line, shape, tone, and space. Guiding the reader step-by-step through the entire drawing process, Design Drawing also examines different types of drawing techniques such as multiview, paraline, and perspective drawings -- and how they can be applied to achieve stunning results. In addition, this edition: -Goes beyond basic drawing books'Ching not only covers the principles, media, and techniques of drawing, but also places these within the context of what and why designers draw.-Features more than 1,500 hand-rendered drawings'beautiful illustrations that reinforce the concepts and lessons of each chapter.-Includes a supplemental CD-ROM'viewers will gain a greater appreciation of the techniques presented in this book through the power of animation, video, and 3D models. Twelve new modules are included, as is a video of the author demonstrating freehand techniques in a step-by-step manner. For professional architects, designers, fine artists, illustrators, teachers and students alike, this all-in-one package is both an effective tool and an outstanding value, demonstrating concepts and techniques in a visually stimulating format that transends comparable works in the field

No full text[EN] Interview with Francis DK Ching. Frank Ching is a renowned author of over a dozen books addressing architectural forms and their analysis through drawing.He is a widely recognized author of books addressing architectural and design graphicsHe has taught at several universities in the United States as well as in Japan and Hong Kong. He is currently holds the Professor Emeritus at the University of Washington.He has received awards from prestigious organizations such as the American Institute of Architects and the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Awards.More recently, in 2013, he received the gold medal of the UID, in Matera , where we had the pleasure of meeting Frank Ching in person and invited him to this interview, which has now been published.At Matera, surrounded by his students, the professor drew the Sassi, illustrating in front of our eyes, what he has been doing for decades: using Drawing as a cognitive and creative tool. His way to approach arquitectural drawing has been a benchmark for many generations of graphic arts teachers. Currently he is still regularly sharing new drawings on his personal web page from which we can continually learn and enjoy.[ES] Entrevista con Francis D. K. Ching. Frank Ching es un reconocido autor de más de una docena de libros relativos a la enseñanza de la arquitectura y su análisis a través del dibujo. Fue docente en diversas Universidades en Estados Unidos desde 1972, así como en Japón (1990) y Hong Kong (1993).

Más recientemente, en el 2013, recibió la medalla de oro del UID, en Matera, donde tuvimos el placer de conocerlo personalmente e invitarlo a esta entrevista ahora publicada.En Matera, rodeado de sus estudiantes, el Profesor, dibujaba los sassi, concretando delante de nuestros ojos, lo que desde décadas lleva haciendo: la divulgación del dibujo como herramienta cognitiva y creativa. Sus conceptos para abordar el dibujo arquitectónico, han sido una referencia para distintas generaciones de docentes del dibujo de arquitectura y actualmente sigue compartiendo regularmente en su página web personal, nuevos dibujos que nosotros continuamos asimilando y disfrutandoBarros Costa, H.; Hidalgo Delgado, F.
