A Comparative Study of Formal and Informal Teaching Methods in the Digital Architectural Curricula
No full text36th International Conference on Education and Research in Computer Aided Architectural Design in Europe (eCAADe) -- SEP 17-21, 2018 -- Lodz Univ Technol, Fac Civil Engn Architecture ; Environml Engn, Lodz, POLANDDesign educators are rethinking design education because of the high-demand for the integration of CAD/CAM in the architectural curriculum. However, in traditional design schools with fewer digital courses and more emphasis on the studio courses, an important consideration is how these skills are introduced. With this in mind, and referring to the informal teaching setup, such as workshops and student competitions, this paper describes a study comparing two pedagogical strategies based on a workshop within the curricula and a competition as an extracurricular activity. ICMP method will be used to measure the development of participating students' abilities in analysis, synthesis, integration and critical thinking, under mentor supervision, and enable an evaluation of this approach to the integration of digital thinking, application, and informal design teaching/learning experience in architectural education.Minist Sci ; Higher Educ,Autodesk Inc,GRAPHISOFT SE,Vectorworks,Bentley Syst In
Dynamic Relaxation Simulations of Bacterial Cellulose-Based Tissues
No full text38th Conference on Education and Research in Computer Aided Architectural Design in Europe (eCAADe) -- SEP 16-17, 2020 -- Tech Univ Berlin, Inst Architecture, ELECTR NETWORKIn this paper, a sample of a bacterial cellulose-based tissue is studied in terms of its tectonics by presenting a framework that proposes a transition from digital to physical in terms of design and fabrication. First, sample tissue is digitally modeled and optimized through dynamic relaxation of spring-particle systems by simulating bending behavior; secondly, the tissue is materialized in a form of a biocomposite out of plant cellulose as a fabric out of fiber network for reinforcement, and bacterial cellulose, as the membrane. As the last step, the results are discussed in terms of the deflection, tensile stress lines and bending moment. This framework anticipates a number of methodologies from design and biology, combined with digital fabrication technologies in new ways to change the processes, augment the quality of ideas and outcomes; thus, question the perception of making spaces for living.Bentley Inst,German Res Fdn,Biomimetics,Tech Univ Berlin, Gesellschaft Freunden,Tech Univ Berlin, CyPhy La
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
A FRAMEWORK FOR CREATING A HYBRID EXPERIENCE FOR NFT ARTWORKS THROUGH 3D PRINTING
Get PDFTechnology has become a fundamental part of our environment, yet the borders between the physical and virtual realms become even more blurred. The introduction of the Metaverse is one of the most recent and notable innovations. It, just as any other technological advances, adapts to evolution in user needs serving as a link between the real and digital realms. While people can buy goods and services with a certain currency in the physical realm, cryptocurrencies and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are used for transactions in the Metaverse. NFT provides customers a certificate of ownership, which means that their virtual commodities or assets such as lands or objects cannot be replicated. They may also be used to represent social standing, just like tangible goods and services. It has become increasingly common to come across museums displaying artworks or artists who sell their artworks as Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) on digital platforms such as Rarible, Mintable or OpenSea. This research discusses the 3D printability of NFTs and proposes a framework in order to create a hybrid experience for 3D printed NFT artworks. The results have shown that 3D printing of NFTs provided users/customers a hybrid experience in both realms, maintaining the artworks’ uniqueness and rarity, proof of ownership, as well as physical copies in hand. Moreover, the artists who were afraid of publicly displaying their artworks for the concern of being copied have created 3D printable designs that enabled them to easily and safely promote their designs to the public
