A new sacred heart for the public space
No full textA new church for the parish St. Elisabeth:
a new heart for the community
The central idea of the project is based on two strong intentions: keep the existent wall with the entrance terrace, as a pleasant opportunity to have a view on the landscape, and create a new intimate public space which relate all the activities in the block - the new church, the oratory, the kinder garden, the public
library, the tea-room and the housing.
The new church and the public library dialogue directly, at a quote of 3.50 mt, on the main public space, called the ‘square of twelve trees‘. The new parish is reachable from the lighting increasing ramp along the old wall and from the stairs of the public library, a sort of ‘door’ building. Walking along the wall, where the ‘via crucis’ mosaics are hanged, the persons arrive on the old terrace, a ‘hieratic’ and silent place. On the back of the church is possible sit on a bench in the thickness of the wall and look at the landscape in a quiet dimension.
The inner sacred space is a very simple volume, built on a central plan (the square), in which the modulation of the light is the protagonist: coming through an horizontal ‘cut’ on the north side, from the top in the belt tower, and from down in the bottom of the church, behind the altar. A very flexible sacred room that could be used in many different configurations, fixing just the Baptist font – to ‘crop’ a special area for the sacrament – and the stairs which lead to the two upper galleries, a re-interpretation of an ancient ‘matroneo’.
There’s another access at the terrace’s level: a covered passage introduce to the interior square, contented by a new building on south side. At the ground floor a long ‘portico’ offers some sheltered public place which distributes the entrances to the oratory and to a tea-room/café. At the other grounds there be new housing.
The main level is also served by the system of stairs perpendicular to the Bohlleitenweg Strasse. The system reconfirm the existent transversal passage, linking the low level with the upper level of Bohlleitenweg Strasse and distributing the kinder garden, organized in a ‘cascade’ structure: three new buildings on
three different floors but strictly connected by interior passages and cover corridors, sharing little intimate gardens, exclusive use of the children. It’s also possible that part of these spaces are used for housing

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
Misunderstandings in fisheries: an ethnography of regulative categories and communication around Gansbaai and Dyer Island
No full textIncludes bibliographical references.In the context of wide-spread, world-wide declines in fish stocks, such as the inshore fishery in the Benguela ecosystem along Gansbaai, fishers in Gansbaai partly rely on the availability of small pelagic fish (sardine and anchovy). However, fishers also hand-line and angle actively, and more recently practiced a range of other fishing techniques. Ten weeks of fieldwork in Gansbaai allowed the intertwined lived reality of fishers’ every- day practices to come to the fore. Regulation of techniques and target species has curtailed fishers through restrictive fishing rights, quotas and more recently the rise of protected areas such as Marine Protected Areas ... This project relates the situation of Gansbaai fishers in the face of a possible experimental closure of the waters surrounding nearby Dyer Island to purse seining, proposed in support of the conservation of African penguins

Simulation of thermal plant optimization and hydraulic aspects of thermal distribution loops for large campuses
No full textFollowing an introduction, the author describes Texas A&M University and its utilities system. After that, the author presents how to construct simulation models for chilled water and heating hot water distribution systems. The simulation model was used in a $2.3 million Ross Street chilled water pipe replacement project at Texas A&M University. A second project conducted at the University of Texas at San Antonio was used as an example to demonstrate how to identify and design an optimal distribution system by using a simulation model. The author found that the minor losses of these closed loop thermal distribution systems are significantly higher than potable water distribution systems. In the second part of the report, the author presents the latest development of software called the Plant Optimization Program, which can simulate cogeneration plant operation, estimate its operation cost and provide optimized operation suggestions. The author also developed detailed simulation models for a gas turbine and heat recovery steam generator and identified significant potential savings. Finally, the author also used a steam turbine as an example to present a multi-regression method on constructing simulation models by using basic statistics and optimization algorithms. This report presents a survey of the author??s working experience at the Energy Systems Laboratory (ESL) at Texas A&M University during the period of January 2002 through March 2004. The purpose of the above work was to allow the author to become familiar with the practice of engineering. The result is that the author knows how to complete a project from start to finish and understands how both technical and nontechnical aspects of a project need to be considered in order to ensure a quality deliverable and bring a project to successful completion. This report concludes that the objectives of the internship were successfully accomplished and that the requirements for the degree of Degree of Engineering have been satisfied
Intern experience at CH���M Hill, Inc.: an internship report
No full textIncludes author's vita"Submitted to the College of Engineering of Texas A&M University in partial
fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Doctor of Engineering."Includes bibliographical referencesA review of the author's internship experience with CH���M HILL, Inc.
during the period September 1975 through May 1976 is presented. During this nine month
internship the author worked as an Engineer II in the Industrial Processes discipline of this
large consulting engineering firm... The author's prime responsibility was as one of three
lead design engineers on the design of a large wastewater treatment facility for a pulp mill
in Hoquiam, Washington owned by ITT Rayonier Inc. The work generally consisted of the design
of individual treatment units and associated piping and pumping. The purpose of the project
was to provide wastewater treatment capabilities that would satisfy the effluent limitations
(standards) imposed upon the mill by the State of Washington Department of Ecology and the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The author's assignment also entailed necessary
interaction with the project manager and other CH���M HILL design engineers and support staff
members, the client's representatives, and representatives of two other consulting engineering
firms working on the project. Thus, the internship position at CH���M HILL provided considerable
experience coordinating the author's work with the work of other engineers, guiding the design
and administrative efforts of a support staff, and interacting regularly with the client and
other consulting firms. This broad exposure to a variety of engineering and organizational
problems provided a valuable educational experience
