Newark Noir: A Study Of Film And Architecture, Tom Mcinerney Oct 2001

Newark Noir: A Study Of Film And Architecture, Tom Mcinerney

Architecture Senior Theses

"Through the investigation of the filmic narrative and the semantics of the visual style inherent in film noir, I intend to establish a precedent that can be used to construct an architectural product in Newark that serves to investigate the city's past, present, and anticipate the future."

Evaporative Cooling Availability In Water Based Sensible Cooling Systems, Ben Costelloe, Donal Finn Sep 2001

Evaporative Cooling Availability In Water Based Sensible Cooling Systems, Ben Costelloe, Donal Finn

Conference Papers

Recent developments have prompted a review of evaporative cooling technology as an effective means of cooling modern deep plan buildings. Prominent among these developments is the success of high temperature sensible cooling systems, such as chilled ceilings, which require a supply of cooling water at 14 to 18°C. Crucial to the success of evaporative cooling technology, as a significant means of cooling in modern applications, is the ability to generate cooling water, in an indirect circuit, at a temperature which closely approaches the ambient adiabatic saturation temperature or wet bulb temperature. Recent research in this area has shown that it …


Minimim Expected Cost-Oriented Optimal Maintenance Planning For Deteriorating Structures: Application To Concrete Bridge Decks, Allen C. Estes, Dan M. Frangopol Sep 2001

Minimim Expected Cost-Oriented Optimal Maintenance Planning For Deteriorating Structures: Application To Concrete Bridge Decks, Allen C. Estes, Dan M. Frangopol

Architectural Engineering

Civil engineering structures are designed to serve the public and often must perform safely for decades. No matter how well they are designed, all civil engineering structures will deteriorate over time and lifetime maintenance expenses represent a substantial portion of the total lifetime cost of most structures. It is difficult to make a reliable prediction of this cost when the future is unknown and structural deterioration and behavior are assumed from a mathematical model or previous experience. An optimal maintenance program is the key to making appropriate decisions at the right time to minimize cost and maintain an appropriate level …


The Performance Of Urban Form In The Construction Of A Place: Quality Of Design In A 1930'S Residential Area In Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, Vicente Del Rio Sep 2001

The Performance Of Urban Form In The Construction Of A Place: Quality Of Design In A 1930'S Residential Area In Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, Vicente Del Rio

City and Regional Planning

How much of the original urban design of an area leads to its perceived qualities, to its public image, and to its recognition as a special place by its users? In this paper we present the preliminary results of a comparative study of residential areas in the city of Rio de Janeiro - Brazil that are highly regarded as special places by both their communities and the population at large. Our research tries to understand which aspects of the original design of these places still remain today and may be held responsible for their popular success, and which design fundamentals …

Gobierno Local Y Nuevos Liderazgos, Fernando Carrión Mena Aug 2001

Gobierno Local Y Nuevos Liderazgos, Fernando Carrión Mena

Fernando Carrión Mena

Un nuevo actor mundial se suma a los estados nacionales y al mercado mundial: las ciudades globales (Sassen, 1998). En el contexto de la globalización y de los procesos de descentralización las ciudades redefinen las funciones y adquieren mayor protagonismo (Barja, 1994). Pero también la reforma estatal, en la que se inscriben los procesos de descentralización, tiende a revalorizar los gobiernos locales.

Las economías urbanas adquieren mayar peso, el poder local se incrementa, las expresiones culturales se multiplican, y las relaciones interurbanas se intensifican por encima de las relaciones multinacionales, en un momento en que "el nuevo siglo se inicia …

A Comparison Of Residential Markets For Chain Retail Stores In The Central Business District Of Knoxville With Residential Markets For Chain Retail Stores In The Central Business Districts Of Birmingham, Lexington, And Greenville, Jennifer Robin Hassell Aug 2001

A Comparison Of Residential Markets For Chain Retail Stores In The Central Business District Of Knoxville With Residential Markets For Chain Retail Stores In The Central Business Districts Of Birmingham, Lexington, And Greenville, Jennifer Robin Hassell

Masters Theses

(Need for Study)

A potential solution for the problem of high vacancy of retail space in the central business district of Knoxville may be revitalization of the retail role of the central business district. The role may not be equal to the once vital historical role. In other words, the role may not be as a regional center but rather a center to serve the needs of the community within and surrounding the central business district. This new role may be secondarily supported by the cultural opportunities of the central business district. These opportunities are the focus of …

La Viabilidad Política De La Descentralización, Fernando Carrión Mena Jul 2001

La Viabilidad Política De La Descentralización, Fernando Carrión Mena

Fernando Carrión Mena

Veo una gran resistencia en la descentralización, provocada por el modo de encararla, así, los actores responsables la enfocan como una descentralización del Estado, como principio y fin y no como una relación entre Estado y sociedad.

Se plantea la descentralización como un tema local y no como un tema nacional, como un tema global. Es necesario que quienes estamos de acuerdo con la descentralización tengamos un sólo proyecto para impulsarlo con visión de país, con visión de América Latina y del mundo.

Acoustic Radiation From Bowed Violins, Lily M. Wang, Courtney B. Burroughs Jul 2001

Acoustic Radiation From Bowed Violins, Lily M. Wang, Courtney B. Burroughs

Durham School of Architectural Engineering and Construction: Faculty Publications

Nearfield acoustic holography (NAH) is applied to visualize the acoustic radiation from bowed violins across a frequency range from 294 Hz to 3 kHz. These visualizations are employed to localize regions of acoustic radiation from surfaces of violins. Three violins were tested: a common student instrument by Scherl and Roth; Hutchins violin SUS295, which has been the subject of many previous investigations; and a Hutchins mezzo violin from the Violin Octet set of instruments, which is longer, broader and thinner than a standard instrument. The violins were bowed continuously with an open-frame mechanical bowing machine, while NAH measurements were made …


"Thou Shalt Not Put A Stumbling Block Before The Blind": The Americans With Disabilities Act And Public Transit For The Disabled, Michael E Lewyn Jun 2001

"Thou Shalt Not Put A Stumbling Block Before The Blind": The Americans With Disabilities Act And Public Transit For The Disabled, Michael E Lewyn

Michael E Lewyn

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) ordered local governments to make bus and train systems more accessible to the disabled. The ADA imposed costly requirements upon local public transit systems but did not give local governments funds with which to satisfy this mandate. By reducing the funds available to transit systems, the ADA has sometimes forced cutbacks in transit service for everyone (including, ironically, the disabled to the extent that disabled people were able to use public transit before the ADA's enactment). Thus, the ADA has occasionally been counterproductive.

The root cause of the ADA's inadequacy is that the ADA …

An Agitated (Co)Existence - The Conquest Of Timeless Meztisaje, Joaquin Bonifaz Jun 2001

An Agitated (Co)Existence - The Conquest Of Timeless Meztisaje, Joaquin Bonifaz

Architecture Senior Theses

"The success of the Marvelous Real is in the acknowledgement as existing of the pre-existed, implied or unnoticed and its revelation through unusual juxtaposition and interweaving narrated in a passive tone. The contention of this thesis is that if this type of juxtaposition of existing, pre-existed, implied and unnoticed is translated into an architectural concept where the tools of juxtaposition are space, form, program, materiality, and order it is possible to create, by addition and subtraction, a heightened reality of the historical layering of site."
