Patterns Of Seated Activity In Sensory Gardens Among Children Educated In Special Schools, Hazreena Hussein
Hazreena Hussein
This study investigated the seated activity among special schooled children and their adult carers in two sensory gardens in the United Kingdom. Seated activity was established whether the seating was used as intended or whether users preferred to sit on other attributes during their learning session. The objectives of this study are to explore opportunities for users’ activity and their engagement with the attributes, whether activity is possible or if opportunities are not being actualised because of barriers. Observation and behaviour mapping methods were carried out alongside the affordance theory. The outcome suggests that the number of users, the number …

The Wilma Theatre in downtown Missoula, Montana, has provided the city and surrounding area with entertainment since 1921. W. A. "Billy" Simons, president of the Northwest Theatre Company, commissioned the building's construction in 1920, during the heyday of the movie palace. In addition to the well-appointed theatre, the building housed a café , an Olympic-sized swimming pool, a gymnasium, offices, and apartments.

Medellín es la segunda ciudad de Colombia con 2 400 000 habitantes en el año 2012, después de Bogotá que se acerca a los 8 millones. Es relativamente moderna, porque apenas desde fines del siglo XIX empieza a desarrollarse hasta alcanzar la dimensión que tiene en la actualidad; sin embargo, esta evolución no ha sido lineal: han existido momentos complejos y de auge. Una ciudad que a fines de los ochenta y principios de los noventa fue considerada la más violenta del mundo, a la que todos la esquivaban para no pasar por ahí. Fue cuna del cartel de Medellín …

An Assessment Of The Effects Of Desertification In Yobe State, Nigeria, 2012 SelectedWorks
An Assessment Of The Effects Of Desertification In Yobe State, Nigeria, Jibril Musa Phd
Confluence Journal Environmental Studies (CJES), Kogi State University, Nigeria
Desertification is one of the most serious environmental and socio-economic problems of our time. Desertification describes circumstances of land degradation in arid, semi-arid and dry sub-humid regions resulting from the climatic variation and human activities. The fundamental goal of this thesis was to assess the effects of desertification in Yobe State, Nigeria. The present threat of desertification in the sahel has reached an alarming stage where crops cultivation and animal rearing/grazing are no more productive, soil has lost its nutrient/fertility, various infrastructure had given way because of windstorm from the neighbouring Niger Republic and sand dunes had taken over. The …

Los años 90 son probablemente el inicio de una época de cambios trascendentales en la historia del fútbol mundial. Allí están la metamorfosis de la tecnología, la indumentaria deportiva, la globalización de las audiencias, la integración de los mercados deportivos; así como también la transformación de la regla que impide al arquero tomar con la mano la pelota entregada con el pie por parte de un compañero; la mutación de los torneos internacionales de clubes con dos campeonatos por año (Libertadores y Sudamericana en América) y con los mundiales de clubes (Confederaciones); y la innovación del mercado de futbolistas que …
Buried Clay Pipe Irrigation, 2012 Alliant International University (retd)
Buried Clay Pipe Irrigation, David A. Bainbridge
David A Bainbridge
The buried clay pipe method of irrigation is one of the most efficient systems known and is ideal for gardeners and small farmers. Buried clay pipe irrigation uses a buried, unglazed clay pipe filled with water to provide controlled irrigation to plants as the water seeps out through the clay wall at a rate that is influenced by the plant's water use. It has been used for more than one hundred years.This auto-regulation leads to very high efficiency--considerably better than drip irrigation and many times better than conventional surface irrigation. This also reduces weeds, increases yields, and can speed maturity …

Measuring The Sustainability Of U.S. Public Bicycle Systems, 2012 University of New Orleans
Measuring The Sustainability Of U.S. Public Bicycle Systems, Max W. Williamson
University of New Orleans Theses and Dissertations
As cities worldwide plan for increasing urbanization levels, new challenges in mobility will arise. Any approach taken to address these new issues will need to consider how to move more people with declining resources, thus the need for a sustainable solution arises. This thesis examines the growing trend of cities creating public bicycle systems as a means to add sustainability to a transportation system and identifies what are the criteria and indicators of a sustainable public bicycle. The criteria and indicators are used to examine data collection techniques of three Public Bicycle Systems in the United States: Capital Bikeshare in …

El día 11 de diciembre pasado se produjo el Primer Gabinete Binacional entre Ecuador y Colombia, que es una continuación de los gabinetes realizados entre Ecuador/Venezuela y Ecuador/Perú. Sin duda se trata de una nueva forma de ejercer la diplomacia bilateral, mediante tres elementos innovadores: primero, porque se las sube al nivel más alto de las relaciones (presidentes), segundo, porque tiende a generar un enfoque integral (no solo militar o aduanero) y tercero, establece el mecanismo de cooperación entre los dos países para enfrentar la temática (no a la unilateralidad).
En la reunión del 11 de diciembre con Colombia y …
The Feasibility Of Closing Vehicle Crossings Along St. Charles Avenue: A Study Of Transit Safety And Performance, 2012 University of New Orleans
The Feasibility Of Closing Vehicle Crossings Along St. Charles Avenue: A Study Of Transit Safety And Performance, Vivek B. Shah
University of New Orleans Theses and Dissertations
The St. Charles streetcar is an important transit line in the city of New Orleans, with about 65,000 people living within a ½ mile walking distance from it. However, the line experiences a very high streetcar/automobile crash rate due in large part to the large number of grade vehicle crossings over the tracks that lack signalization. Through traffic modeling, the closure of many of these vehicle crossings and the diversion of automotive traffic to the remaining, signalized crossings is analyzed to determine traffic impacts on street network. The result is a modest increase in traffic, about 7-8%, at the remaining …

El poderoso holding global del crimen –el cártel de Sinaloa- maneja el multimillonario negocio de la cocaína desde el vecino país del norte y las políticas diseñadas para contrarrestarlo dominan la agenda pública del gobierno colombiano. Para nadie es desconocido que el denominado Plan Colombia ha significado una inversión norteamericana no menor a 10 mil millones de dólares en este siglo, la cual ha producido, entre otros, los siguientes efectos: la articulación de las zonas de producción de cocaína (Colombia es el primer productor del mundo), heroína y marihuana con los cárteles mexicanos que controlan los caminos principales del narcotráfico. …
Feasibility Of Reconstructing Decommissioned Urban Schools: Emphasis Private Involvement, 2012 Purdue University
Feasibility Of Reconstructing Decommissioned Urban Schools: Emphasis Private Involvement, George J. Spinaris, Ra
Purdue Polytechnic Masters Theses
Decommissioned urban schools in the United States have become a problem despite well-intentioned efforts of federal, state and local authorities to reconstruct them. The challenge to school districts, superintendants, local and state authorities is threefold – one arising from the education policy and declining student enrollment. The second challenge is due to inadequate funds for maintenance and renovation of existing facilities. The third from the architectural point of view stemming from an architectural and technological modernity to avoid not so much the possibility of urban sprawl but possible clash of community interests. Urban Sprawl is defined as “The unplanned, …
