    The dataset contains more than 21M hierarchical relationships about ≈10M topics extracted from Freebase knowledgebase. The topics span the various categories of Freebase including Science & Technology, Arts & Entertainment, Sports, Society, Products & Services, Transportation, Time & Space, Special Interests, and Commons. The relationships describe the hierarchies of topics in terms of Types, Domains, and Categories. For example, ‘Albert Einstein’ can be found as a topic that is a sub-class of ‘Person’, belonging to the ‘People’ domain and ‘Society’ category. Another entity named as ‘Albert Einstein’ can also be found as a sub-class of ‘Book’, belonging to the ‘Books’ domain and ‘Arts & Entertainment’ category. The dataset is published in JSON and CSV formats, sample files are provided to help explore how the dataset is structured. The dataset is believed to be useful for studying the inter-related connections among topics in different domains of knowledge.

    Old Gourna: Redefining Sustainability in Vernacular Architecture/Urbanism

    No full text
    AbstractOld Gourna or, what remains of it, is a phantom village existing on the Theban hill amid the archaeological sites of Luxor Necropolis. Nevertheless, its old vernacular houses were designed and constructed in order to be sustainable and to subsist through hundreds of years.The indigenous inhabitants of Old Gourna village were relocated, after several attempts, by a governmental decision in order to protect the ancient Egyptian tombs. In 1960s, a first group of residents were evicted -after a strong resistance- to the New Gourna that was designed by Hassan Fathi. In 2009, the rest of the inhabitants were moved by force to another New Gourna, near Al-Taref village, that was built by the government. The two New Gournas were primarily both rejected by the Old Gourniis despite being completely different in all aspects.By comparing the three Gournas, this paper aims to demonstrate the particularity of Old Gourna, especially when it comes to vernacular architectural sustainability. It also conducts a comprehensive survey concerning the architectural/urban advantages and disadvantages of each one of three villages

    Old Gourna: The Complexity of Vernacular Architecture/Urbanism and Cultural Heritage

    AbstractThe ruins of Old Gourna in Luxor amid the Theban Necropolis evoke a lot of questions. The complexity and success of its vernacular architecture/urbanism continue to perplex experts till today. After several attempts to relocate its residents, first at Hassan Fathi's new Gourna, then in the 2nd New Gourna, Old Gourniis are still nostalgic about their old village. The main objective of this paper is to demonstrate the authentic urban/architectural particularity and cultural heritage of the Old Gourna compared to the other two New Gournas. This will be achieved via the analyses of Urban Design Dimensions in relation to the social production of urban spaces in the 3 Gournas

    Title: Implementation in Altran for Rational Function Integration and Polynomial Factorization , Author: Mahmoud M. Makhlouf, Location: ThodeThis project is a study involving the application of the ALTRAN system to rational function integration. A discussion and the implementation of two methods are given, one by Hermite [HER 12] and a second by Horowitz [HOR 70]. Included is a brief discussion of the integration of the transcendental part over the rational field using polynomial factorization over the integers. Furthermore, an extension for multivariate rational function integration and multivariate polynomial factorization is included.ThesisMaster of Science (MS

    Title: Stiffness of Coupling Slabs in Shear Wall Buildings, Author: Adel A. Mahmoud, Location: Thode In this thesis, a study was made on the coupling effect of floor slabs on the behaviour of shear wall structures . The slab coupled shear walls were analysed by the finite element technique to obtain the bending stiffness. Experimental verification was done on a small scale model of steel walls coupled by a steel slab. Design curves to estimate the stiffness of the various slab coupled wall configurations are presented. In addition, a study was made on the influence of the dimensions and shapes of the walls (plane walls, T-section walls and box core walls), wall openings, and slab dimensions on the effective width and stiffness of the connecting slab.ThesisMaster of Engineering (ME
