No full textGeographic profiling in Nazi Berlin: fact and fiction
Full text linkGeographic 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
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

Shubnikov–de Haas oscillations of two-dimensional electron gas in an InAsN/InGaAs single quantum well
No full textWe present the first investigation of Shubnikov–de Haas (SdH) oscillations
of two-dimensional electron gas formed in an InAsN/InGaAs single
quantum well (QW) grown on an InP substrate using gas source molecular
beam epitaxy and a radio-frequency (rf ) plasma nitrogen source. The
photoluminescence (PL) peak energy of the InAsN/InGaAs QW decreases
compared with that of InAs/InGaAs QW. This agrees with the bowing effect
due to the incorporation of nitrogen atoms. The nitrogen content can be
estimated to be 0.4% using the PL peak positions as well as x-ray
diffraction. From the SdH oscillations, the carrier concentration is 2.85 × 1011 cm−2 and the effective mass is 0.1±0.01m0. The enhancement of the
effective mass is mainly due to the incorporation of the nitrogen atoms in the
InAs lattice, which is consistent with a recent study on InAsN bulk alloys.
The large increase of the effective mass cannot be explained by the simple
band anticrossing model. In addition, we observe a temperatureindependent
magnetoresistivity at a critical magnetic field. Our analysis
supports the fact that the value of the critical exponent in the quantum Hall
effect is not universal

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). Actualmente posee el título de Profesor Emérito en la Universidad de Washington.Fue galardonado con premios de prestigiosas entidades como el American Institute of Architects o los Cooper-Hewitt National Design Awards. 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.

Designing for rehabilitation at home
No full textNew technologies open up possibilities for designing interactive experiences that can engage and motivate post-stroke survivors to undertake what would otherwise be boring repetitive movements. In this paper we outline a few of the challenges we met as part of the cross-disciplinary Motivating Mobility project. These are: the extended ‘user’; autonomy and motivation; and early prototype studies

Differential susceptibility of Iowa waterhemp (Amaranthus tuberculatus) populations to 2,4-D, dicamba, and glufosinate
Full text linkMultiple herbicide-resistant waterhemp (Amaranthus tuberculatus (Moq.) J.D. Sauer) has limited herbicide options for Iowa row crop production. Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) cultivars and corn (Zea mays L.) hybrids resistant to 2,4-D, dicamba, and glufosinate have provided more herbicide options for waterhemp management. A probability-based survey of Iowa fields was conducted in fall 2019 wherein waterhemp seeds were collected and their susceptibility to 2,4-D, dicamba, and glufosinate was determined. The average survival of all populations treated with 1× 2,4-D, dicamba, and glufosinate was 17%, 5%, and 4%, respectively. Seven percent of treated populations exhibited ≥50% survival to 1× rates of 2,4-D.This article is published as Ryan C. Hamberg, Ramawatar Yadav, Micheal D.K. Owen, and Mark A. Licht.
