VALUE ASSESSMENT AND RENOVATION DESIGN OF BUILDINGS IN THE PERSPECTIVE OF URBAN RENEWAL: CASE STUDIES IN CHINA AND ITALY
Get PDFIn the process of rapid urban development, as the economy develops and the scope of the architecture continues to expand, buildings face the serious problem of conservation and renewal, adapting to contemporary needs has become the direction of development of architecture. At the same time, as a cultural carrier of the building needs to be renewed, not only become an important way of sustainable urban development but also will the creation of architectural renovation design provides an opportunity, this thesis on the urban renewal of such a social context of the perspective to explore the renovation design. Urban renewal promotes the renovation and regeneration of existing buildings. In order to improve the function of existing buildings and match the current situation of the surrounding area and enhance their value, the content of renovation and regeneration involves the accurate assessment of the value of existing buildings.
Generally speaking, architects rarely carry out a comprehensive value assessment of a building before carrying out a renovation design but basically carry out an analysis of pre-design ideas after obtaining basic data, that is, directly into the design stage. The primary prerequisite for the renovation design ideas advocated in this thesis is a comprehensive and accurate value assessment of the building, and the establishment of an accurate and applicable value evaluation system is also an effective method for determining the value of the building. This thesis also expresses that when researching an object, a qualitative analysis of its value composition and characteristics should be carried out first, on the basis of which an assessment system applicable to the object is constructed, a quantitative assessment is carried out, and on the basis of this assessment, recommendations are made for the grading of the research object. Finally, based on the grading results, the object should be designed for renovation and a more reasonable renovation plan should be proposed. Due to the complexity of the object of study, four different cases were chosen to describe the value assessment and renovation design, without assigning the value assessment and renovation design to a single case. However, this is sufficient to demonstrate that it is necessary and important to assess the value of the target before the renovation design is carried out.
This thesis follows the logical relationship of posing a problem, analyzing the problem, solving the problem, and drawing a conclusion. Chapter 1 is about the background of the thesis and the purpose and literature review, the necessity, urgency, and feasibility of establishing a value evaluation system and renovation design under the perspective of urban renewal. Chapter 2 is about the value evaluation of a historical ancient village in China using the entropy weight method, and also the spatial analysis of the village, which yields the protection level obtained by each building in different locations of the village, thus giving a reference for renovation design. Chapter 3 combines artificial intelligence techniques in order to improve the efficiency of conventional value assessment methods, using GA-BP neural network methods to assess the value of a Chinese village and then derive the different grades. chapter 4 is a study on the application of HBIM technology to the renovation design of a church in Italy, mainly describing how this method has helped the renovation design. Chapter 5 is the application of TLS technology to the design of a Chinese shop interior renovation project, expressing how this technology can be integrated into the design and how it can be updated in real-time, resulting in a collaborative design. Chapter 6 is a summary of the thesis and a description of the sections that need improvement and continued research in the future.In the process of rapid urban development, as the economy develops and the scope of the architecture continues to expand, buildings face the serious problem of conservation and renewal, adapting to contemporary needs has become the direction of development of architecture.

The use of Intertextuality Theory to Explain Dai Qi Xu Lu Shi Jia Shu Dou Shi Ji: The Focus of Discourse is the Compare Level and Impact Level
No full text[[abstract]]宋呂祖謙的《呂氏家塾讀詩記》是《詩經》學史上的名著，此書被歸爲尊《序》派著作。稍後於呂氏的戴溪有《續呂氏家塾讀詩記》之作，就書名觀之，其書應該爲呂書之附庸，整體質性與呂書無異。然而實際檢視戴書，卻又可發現戴溪在著書體例與說解方式上與呂書大異其趣，若將呂戴二書同歸爲宋代說《詩》中的舊派著作，實與真相不合。本文運用西方的互文性概念，解讀《續呂氏家塾讀詩記》所受自歷時性與共時性「前文本」的影響，指出其表現出的特質傾向新派，其所受到的主要影響乃在宋代新派的《詩經》學文本，傳統《詩經》漢學與呂祖謙的著作對其影響反而不大，但因戴溪仍以探索詩中蘊藏的聖人深意爲依歸，所以本文也要將戴書的新舊標誌作一說明。[[abstract]]Southern Song Lu Zu-Qian'S Lu Shi Jia Shu Dou Shi Ji is The Book of Songs study history of the well-known works, this book is classified in compliance with the Preface book. Dai Qi of Lu Zu-Qian's later, he has the Xu Lu Shi Jia Shu Dou Shi Ji. From Dai Qi to observe the title, this book should be an extension of Lu Shi Jia Shu Dou Shi Ji, the overall qualitative and Lu Shi Jia Shu Dou Shi Ji should be not very different However, the actual view Xu Lu Shi Jia Shu Dou Shi Ji, but Dai Qi can be found in the writing style and explanation of the method and Lu Shi Jia Shu Dou Shi Ji is very different, if the Lu Shi Jia Shu Dou Shi Ii, Xu Lu Shi Jia Shu Dou Shi Ji, together classified as a Song explained, The Book of Songs, the traditional school of thought, such an interpretation with the real situation is different. In this paper, the use of Western academic concept of intertextuality to explain the Xu Lu Shi Jia Shu Dou Shi Ji by the Diachronic and Synchronic of "pre-text" of the impact, pointing out that the characteristics of Xu Lu Shi Jia Shu Don Shi Ji tend to show the new school, it has been the main impact of the new Song style of study. Traditional HAN study impact on its books. But the river is still wearing The Book of Songs in the deep exploration of the meaning of the saints as the focus, so this article should be Xu Lu Shi Jia Shu Dou Shi Ji, the new style of study with the traditional style of study for a basic description
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
Small sample inference for collections of Bernoulli trials:
No full textThis dissertation discusses two applied problems solved by saddlepoint approximation methods. The first part of this thesis concerns continuity corrected saddlepoint approximations for testing and confidence intervals for the difference of two independent binomial proportions. We propose two new continuity corrections, and compare them with the other four continuity corrections. Continuity corrections may give a more accurate approximations to the tail area of discrete random variables. To get a confidence interval for the difference of two independent binomial proportions, we proposed continuity corrections 1/2LCM(m,n) with the least common multiple (LCM) of the two binomial distributions sample sizes m and n considered by Xu and Kolassacite{Xu:2008}, and R/2LCM(m,n), an adjusted version of 1/2LCM(m,n) with R by Xu and Kolassacite{Xu:2009}, a heuristic factor calculator from the standard error of the marginal null binomial distribution. We compare exact coverage probabilities for intervals calculated by using saddlepoint approximation with different corrections. The primary criterion for evaluating the corrections is agreement of actual with nominal coverage probabilities. Because of the ordering of the continuity corrections, the coverage probabilities will be ordered similarly. For all the cases considered with minimum expected cell size of at least 1, numerical results indicate that R/2LCM(m,n) has coverage probabilities very close to the nominal 95% and 90% even for the minimum of sample sizes as small as 5-9, and R/2LCM(m,n) improved uncorrected saddlepoint approximation methods moderately for the nominal 95% and 90% intervals; however, that the Yates continuity correction (2m)^{-1}+(2n)^{-1} is unnecessarily conservative for 95% and 90% but reasonable for 99% intervals.
The second part of this thesis concerns the sequential likelihood ratio test using in computerized adaptive testing. We consider sequential testing techniques, including the truncated sequential probability ratio test and the Haybittle-Peto test. Both of these tests in their original forms rely on approximate normality of the signed roots of the log likelihood ratio tests, and approximate boundary crossing probabilities for discrete normal-theory random walks. Bartroff, Finkelman and Laicite{Bartroff:2008} modify these techniques by using Monte Carlo approximations to calibrate the truncation boundary. We propose a hybrid Monte Carlo-Asymptotic approach, in which we substitute an easy Monte Carlo approximation in place of boundary crossing probabilities for Brownian motions, and use asymptotic approximations for the distribution of the signed root of the likelihood ratio test statistic. We found that after selecting stopping boundaries using normal-based Monte Carlo calculations, reliance on asymptotic normality
of the signed root of the log likelihood ratio statistics provided adequate control of Type I error, without recourse to more complicated Monte Carlo operations. We also observe markable improvement using

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
