Community architecture: an evaluation of the case for user participation in architectural design.
No full textExamination of the literature about Community Architecture
suggested that, while there is no commonly accepted definition, the
term signifies the recognition, among some sections of the architectural
profession, of a demand from the public to play a larger part in
shaping the environment. Central to this is a belief that user
participation in architectural design will lead to buildings that will
be more satisfactory for their occupants. Such a claim is widely
made, despite the absence of empirical evidence to support it. Thus
the study was concerned with testing the proposition that, if user
clients participate in the design and development process, in building
projects, there will be greater satisfaction with the completed
buildings and environment than in projects where there has been no
user participation. User clients, here, are taken to mean organisations
of people who will occupy the buildings they have commissioned.
The levels of tenant satisfaction, in three housing co-operative
projects, were measured and compared with the levels of satisfaction
found in a previous study of local authority housing, in England and
Wales. While, high levels of satisfaction with the three Case Study
projects were found, these were not higher than the more successful
non-participatory schemes and, when combined with other data, it was
concluded that not enough evidence, to support the proposition had
been found. Furthermore, it was not clear whether the levels of
satisfaction in the Case Studies were a result of user participation
in design or related to other factors.
Three further issues were examined, which give some explanation
of these results. These were propositions that the levels of satisfaction
were related to (i) the quality of the built product, (ii) the
degree to which the participants were involved and the architect, thus
able to better interpret their requirements and (iii) the influence of
management and control which the user clients had over the projects in
general.
This revealed that user influence on the product was very
limited, that there were many unsolved problems in involving the
participants in the design process and that issues of control and
management were more significant than the role of design participation
in affecting the satisfaction of the occupants
Enhancing the Fed’s transparency didn’t hurt its deliberations
No full textFor more than two decades, transcripts of the US Federal Reserve’s Open Market Committee meetings have been made available to the public. But has the move to greater transparency about monetary policymaking hurt committee deliberations? In new research which examines committee meeting transcripts from 1978 to 2007, Joseph Gardner and John T. Woolley find that leadership – not transparency – had the greatest effect on how members deliberated during meetings
Eventual smoothness and asymptotic behaviour of solutions to a chemotaxis system perturbed by a logistic growth
No full textIn this paper we study the chemotaxis-system (Fourmula Prestend) defined in a convex smooth and bounded domain of Rn, n ≥ 1, with x > 0 and endowed with homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions. The source g behaves similarly to the logistic function and satisfies g(s) ≤ a - bsα, for s ≥ 0, with a ≥ 0, b > 0 and α > 1. Continuing the research initiated in [33], where for appropriate 1 < p < α < 2 and (u0; v0) ∈ C0 (ω) × C2 (ω) the global existence of very weak solutions (u; v) to the system (for any n ≥ 1) is shown, we principally study boundedness and regularity of these solutions after some time. More precisely, when n = 3, we establish that - for all > 0 an upper bound for a b ; jju0jjL1(); jjv0jjW2;α(ω) can be prescribed in a such a way that (u; v) is bounded and Hölder continuous beyond - for all (u0; v0), and suficiently small ratio a b , there exists a T > 0 such that (u; v) is bounded and Hölder continuous beyond T. Finally, we illustrate the range of dynamics present within the chemotaxis system in one, two and three dimensions by means of numerical simulations

Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy: An Interview with Scott Woolley, PhD.
No full textDr. Shea Dunham interviews Dr. Scott Woolley about Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy (EFT). Dr. Woolley discusses what attracted him to EFT, the founders of EFT and the differences in their approaches, key components of the model, diversity, and how pathology is viewed from an EFT perspective. Finally he discusses the research base of EFT
In Fed meetings, decision making is free – but not equal.
No full textWith its ability to influence interest rates globally, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) of the US Federal Reserve is arguably one of the most important decision making bodies on the planet. But how does it come to its decisions? In new research which analyses transcripts of FOMC deliberations over nearly 30 years, Joseph Gardner and John T. Woolley find that women speak less than men for nearly their entire tenure on the FOMC. While women are free to speak, they write, they do not participate equally in FOMC deliberations, and this could be influencing policy choices

Comment on "on the quantum theory of molecules" [J. Chem. Phys. 137, 22A544 (2012)]
No full textIn our previous paper [B. T. Sutcliffe and R. G. Woolley, J. Chem. Phys. 137, 22A544 (2012)] we argued that the Born-Oppenheimer approximation could not be based on an exact transformation of the molecular Schrödinger equation. In this Comment we suggest that the fundamental reason for the approximate nature of the Born-Oppenheimer model is the lack of a complete set of functions for the electronic space, and the need to describe the continuous spectrum using spectral projection. © 2014 AIP Publishing LLC.SCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe
