Dynamic behavior of a masonry civic belfry under operational conditions
No full textSlender structures, such as towers, are characterized by a high sensitivity to dynamic excitation. As a consequence, meaningful information about their behavior under operational conditions can be obtained by monitoring their response to ambient vibrations. Furthermore, significant stresses could be induced to the ancient masonry walls when the dynamic forces due to the swinging of a bell are acting. To assess the structural conditions of a case study representative of such type of structures and to plan an adequate retrofit, numerical analyses are carried out on a model whose modal parameters are calibrated based on the elaboration of the results from the ambient vibrations tests. In particular, full time histories analyses are performed using as input either the signal recorded while the bell was hit by a hammer, or the numerically calculated dynamic forces that would be produced by the actual swinging of the bell. The first set of analyses aims to investigate the capability of an equivalent linear elastic model to capture the actual dynamic response of the structure. The second set of analyses provides an evaluation of the tower response when dynamic loads of higher intensity and likely occurrence are considered.

Creating Comprehensive Player Profiles for D1 Athletes at the University of Michigan
No full textThe idea behind this project is to gather and analyze data within the athletic department at the University of Michigan to create “player profiles” for each member of the women’s soccer team. Each individual player profile will contain qualitative and quantitative data from various departments within athletics including: nutrition data (body composition scans), strength and conditioning data (fitness testing, max strength testing), injury prevention screening data, wellness check data (weekly survey sent out to measure sleep, fatigue, soreness, etc.), and training/game data (including metrics such as milage, total load, max speed, etc.). The result of each player profile will allow players to have more control over their own training, recovery, and performance - especially over their total time spent at the university. Their profiles will provide them season recaps, while also allowing them to dive in more granularly and access week-by-week data upon request. For staff members, these profiles will allow them to mange their players better, and have more efficient, open, and honest meetings with their players who are looking to improve their performance. As a whole, these profiles will better connect all levels of athletics staff members and players involved with the specific sports team. The long term goal of this project is to expand the idea of the player profile to all sports within Michigan Athletics, allowing the soccer profile to be a template that can be modified to meet individual sports needs.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/176937/1/lbrideau_CapstoneFinalReport_-_Lauren_Brideau.docxhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/176937/2/lbrideau_CapstonePoster_-_Lauren_Brideau.ppt
The Poetic Image in the Painting of Raed Qatanani
No full textقال الفيلسوف الإغريقي "سيمونيدس" عام 465 ق.م جملته الشهيرة: " الشعر رسم ناطق، والرسم شعر صامت"[1]، فهناك علاقة وثيقة بين الفن التشكيلي والقصيدة، وهذا ليس بالأمر الحديث فقد جُسّدت الملاحم الشعرية اليونانية بلوحات تشكيلية تعبر عن فحواها. فكلاهما يربطهما الخيال والإبداع والانزياح عن التعبير العادي، وقد أدرك أرسطو ماهية هذه العلاقة بين الشعر والرسم بوصفهما نوعا من أنواع المحاكاة، وقد يتخيّر الشاعر لفظًا بعينه والفنان شكلًا محددًا بدلًا من لفظ آخر وبدلًا من شكل آخر دون أن يدرك عقلهم الواعي السبب وراء اختيارهم فيحركهم المنطق اللا شعوري. وفي الشعر هناك تناغم في الإيقاع والموسيقى، وحتى في قصيدة النثر فهي تعوض الإيقاع بإيحاءات رمزية تشكيلية ككتابة الكلمة بأحرف منفردة، أو على أسطر مختلفة بحيث توزع الحروف بشكل أفقي أو عمودي، فالقصيدة رسم بالكلمات، أما اللوحة التشكيلية فهي رسم بالألوان، إضافة إلى ارتباطهما بالانفعالات الوجدانية المختلفة وبالخيال الجانح نحو اللا حدود، والخيال لدى" باشلار" أشبه بعملية دينامية منظمة للنفس البشرية ومنسقة للتصورات العقلية، فالخيال في جوهره هو فعل التصور بمحوريه الجذريين التصور الاستعاري والتصور التجاوري ونوع من التناسق الدينامي والتناسق الجدلي بين المعنى والرمز[2].
وفي قصائد كثيرة نجد إضافة فن الكولاج فضمنوا في قصائدهم لوحاتٍ وخطوطًا تشكيلية كما فعل أدونيس وغيره، واليوم يدخل الأدب الرقمي أيضا في مساهمته في وضع عناصر تشكيل بصري للقصيدة.
The Greek philosopher Simonides said in 465 BC that "poetry is a spoken illustration, and drawing is silent poetry." There is a close relationship between plastic art and the poem, and this is not a modern matter, as the Greek poetic epics were embodied in paintings that expressed their content. Both are linked by imagination, creativity, and displacement from regular expression. Aristotle recognized this relationship between poetry and painting as a form of simulation. The poet may choose a specific word and the artist- a specific form, over another word or form without their conscious mind realizing the reason behind their choice and moving them to the subconscious logic. In poetry, there is harmony in rhythm and music, even in the prose poem, as it compensates for the rhythm using symbolic overtones, such as writing the word in single letters, or on different lines, so that the letters are distributed horizontally or vertically. The poem is a drawing of words, while a painting is a drawing in color.
The poem and the painting were also associated with the different emotional passions and the delinquent fantasy towards boundlessness.
In many poems we find the addition of collage art.by poets, they included paintings and calligraphy as Adonis and other did, and the same thing with plastic artists, they used poems in their plastic paintings. Today, digital literature also incorporates more than one medium of art. A modern example of an artist who incorporates various art forms is the Palestinian plastic artist Raed Qatanani from Jordan, who pairs poems with paintings. In his work, he has followed two methods: The first way is to draw the painting from the poem, and second, to draw the painting and then write a poem that matches it.
The study aims to show this silent dialogue and mixing between the poetic image and the plastic painting. My study will include examples of plastic arts by Raed Qatanani, which he paired with poems. The research will follow the analytical and semiotic approaches, by comparing this artistic literary overlap between the poem and the plastic painting, taking into account the following points:
-The distribution of colors and their intensity parallel to the poetic reactions: gradient color, contrast, chromaticity, chromaticity, color mixture, symbolic colors.
- Drawing with color and the corresponding process of drawing with words for the poetic image
SHM-based robustness: a super-tall structure case study
No full textIn this paper, the super-tall building of Guangzhou city in China is considered as
case study. The region in which this tower stands is exposed to extreme events,
such as typhoons and earthquakes. Therefore, the structure was equipped with a
long term SHM system and the behavior of the tower upon these extreme events
was recorded and analyzed. Several algorithms to assess the damage conditions
from output-only measurements of the structure are present in literature. Toward the
improvement of the structural robustness, particular attention is herein dedicated to
investigated the potentialities offered by the Hilbert-Huang transform method
improved by a filtering procedure. Indeed, this method provides the energy
distribution of the analyzed signals not only in the frequency domain, but also in the
time domain. From the Hilbert spectra is then possible to detect the occurrence in
time of the consequences of an extreme event on the structure, such a sudden loss
of stiffness. This valuable information would enable to send, in real-time, an alarm
about the structural conditions to the responsible persons who could take a suitable
decision in order to avoid or limit the catastrophic consequences of a failure. This
advantage of the Hilbert spectrum is mostly useful not only in the case of
earthquakes, but also upon the occurrence of a vehicle collision with the structure or
a nearby explosion
Thoracoscopic diagnosis and repair of central congenital diaphragmatic hernia in a neonate: A case report of a rare entity
No full textIntroduction: Central congenital diaphragmatic hernia that involves a central tendon defect is a very rare form of diaphragmatic hernias. Experience in the thoracoscopic repair of congenital diaphragmatic hernia has expanded in recent years, but this expansion was mainly for the most common type; the posterolateral. We report a case of central congenital diaphragmatic hernia, which is supposed to be the case number seventeen of those reported in literature. And we report the first use of thoracoscopic repair in such rare entity.
Case presentation: We present a case report of a Bengali neonate who had a prenatal diagnosis of left congenital diaphragmatic hernia, which was supposed to be the usual posterolateral type. As we usually approach such cases by thoracoscopy, the patient had an intraoperative diagnosis of central congenital diaphragmatic hernia. The defect was amenable to a successful thoracoscopic repair.
Conclusion: The rare neonatal central congenital diaphragmatic hernia could present as a left sided herniation that clinically resembles the usual posterolateral congenital diaphragmatic hernia. Thoracoscopic approach offers a tremendous tool for diagnosis as well as the management of this kind of presentation of a central congenital diaphragmatic hernia

Critique for Organization Development
No full textThis critique is for the article that show a fear in disappearing the career of organization developers who think in the future that this area will decline rapidly. The fear comes from changing in environments, especially from advanced technology. By using tens of secondary data from researchers and practitioners, the author analyzes and synthesizes these data to address the focal issues in the background, argument, and findings too. One solution against the fear is to develop and enlarge the size of organizations, so it keeps the profession oforganiz and organized, starts from raising the fear concerns and work collectively to find a solution for not allowing the advanced technology of smart robots to replace humans. Unlike the author believes, organizational practitioners do not respect human values, but rather they are interested in commercial and financial values. Therefore, the preservation of professions for humans must be studied in a social and moral context and not only for profit and benefit, especially with the increasing concern that smart machines will dominate life humanity
