Appearances Do Matter! What Libraries Can Learn From Clinton Kelly, Nancy E. Fawley

Library Faculty Publications

One could easily mistake Clinton Kelly’s closing keynote presentation at ACRL 2011 in Philadelphia last March as light fare. Kelly, cohost of TLC’s What Not To Wear, spoke enthusiastically about the importance of one’s appearance and the necessity of making an extra effort in the way individuals present themselves. His keynote address, and the fact that a fashion expert was a speaker at a conference for librarians, sparked debates on Twitter and in the blogosphere.

Do appearances matter? I say they do and add that this applies to buildings and objects, as well. Academic libraries, especially, could benefit from some …

Using Life Cycle Assessment Methods To Guide Architectural Decision-Making For Sustainable Prefabricated Modular Buildings, Jeremy Faludi, Michael Lepech, George Loisos

Dartmouth Scholarship

Within this work, life cycle assessment modeling is used to determine top design priorities and quantitatively inform sustainable design decision-making for a prefabricated modular building. A case-study life-cycle assessment was performed for a 5,000 ft² prefabricated commercial building constructed in San Francisco, California, and scenario analysis was run examining the life cycle environmental impacts of various energy and material design substitutions, and a structural design change. Results show that even for a highly energy-efficient modular building, the top design priority is still minimizing operational energy impacts, since this strongly dominates the building life cycle's environmental impacts. However, as an …

Building The Federal Judiciary (Literally And Legally): The Monuments Of Chief Justices Taft, Warren And Rehnquist, Judith Resnik

Indiana Law Journal

The “federal courts” took on their now familiar contours over the course of the twentieth century. Three chief justices—William Howard Taft, Earl Warren, and William Rehnquist—played pivotal roles in shaping the institutional, jurisprudential, and physical premises. Taft is well known for promoting a building to house the U.S. Supreme Court and for launching the administrative infrastructure that came to govern the federal courts. Earl Warren’s name has become the shorthand for a jurisprudential shift from state toward federal authority; the Warren Court offered an expansive understanding of the role federal courts could play in enabling access for a host of …

Narrative Processes In Urban Planning: A Case Study Of Swamp Gravy In Colquitt, Georgia, Ronald David Pate

Dissertations and Theses

In 1990 many in Colquitt, Georgia considered themselves to be a dying town due to the loss of jobs and outmigration that occurred when labor intensive farming transitioned to the machine. In response citizens brought in a theater director from Chicago who helped them launch a performance series of inclusive stories that were acted by local volunteers. The resulting series called Swamp Gravy has run from 1992 to present (2012), and has led to purported claims of community revitalization. The purpose of this study was to discover what this ongoing narrative community engagement meant to the people of Colquitt in …

Probabilistic Resilience Quantification And Visualization Building Performance To Hurricane Wind Speeds, Berna Eren Tokgoz

Engineering Management & Systems Engineering Theses & Dissertations

Natural and man made disasters are unpredictable and unavoidable in today's world. Their frequency of occurrence and damages keep increasing. Due to the efforts to reduce negative consequences from such disasters, the concept of resilience has gained so much popularity in disaster management area especially after disasters like the September 11 attacks and Hurricane Katrina. Complex systems of today are under operational risks because of increasing threats and their high level of vulnerability. Hence, such systems need to adapt the concept of resilience for continuous operations. Resilience is a proactive concept which should incorporate both pre-event (preparedness and mitigation) and …

Dos Jóvenes Quemados En Guápulo, Fernando Carrión Mena Arq.

Fernando Carrión Mena

La madrugada del sábado pasado (23 de junio), junto a la Unidad de Policía Comunitaria (UPC) y en plena plazoleta de Guápulo, fueron quemados dos personas jóvenes, una de las cuales desgraciadamente falleció. Existen varias hipótesis que se manejan para explicar las razones del crimen de estos dos muchachos: La primera, que pudieron haber sido vecinos los ejecutores de este lamentable hecho, quienes los habrían confundido con antisociales y por lo tanto los lincharon. En el mismo barrio del crimen han existido letreros que alertan a los antisociales con escritos tales como: “persona robando será incinerada”, lemas que existen en …

Trole Y Mall: Dos Caras De La Crisis De Quito, Fernando Carrión Mena Arq.

Fernando Carrión Mena

El lunes de esta semana Quito vivió una tarde dolorosa y trágica: un trole bus a las 14:50 se salió de la vía con dirección al parque El Ejido y en el trayecto atropelló y mató a una señora que caminaba por el parque. Que no se respeta el carril exclusivo, que las frenos se dañaron y que el vehículo iba a alta velocidad son realidades que la prensa reseña, antas que se difunda un informe oficial. Cuatro horas más tarde y en el sur de la ciudad, al interior del centro comercial Quicentro Sur, se produce una balacera que …

La Seguridad Privada, Fernando Carrión Mena Arq.

Fernando Carrión Mena

(...) A partir de la década de los años noventa se inicia un proceso de multiplicación de los actores destinados al control y prevención de la violencia en América Latina. Este hecho tiene relación con el cambio estructural que se produce a partir de la Reforma del Estado, básicamente en tres de sus elementos principales: en primer lugar, se vive un proceso de apertura sustentado en el desarrollo de las tecnologías de la comunicación y en la generalización del mercado a escala global, que lleva al aparecimiento de nuevos delitos (informáticos) y a la presencia de nuevos actores internacionales (Ameripol); …

La Fef Juega Con La Ilusión, Fernando Carrión Mena Arq.

Fernando Carrión Mena

El pasado día domingo la selección del Ecuador ganó uno a cero a Colombia y con eso se han cubierto muchos problemas del proceso Chiriboga-Rueda. Así, por ejemplo, los cambios de jugadores, como dijo el “Bolillo”: ‘Aquí están mis 15 (jugadores)’, y después me pasaban la lista (la FEF): ‘aquí están los 25’.

No se pueden negar dos cosas que se reiteraron a partir de este partido: se observó un estadio totalmente lleno, lo cual puso nuevamente en riesgo al aficionado. La FIFA establece la venta de un boletaje inferior al 10 por ciento de la capacidad del estadio. Según …

Baltimore After The War Of 1812: Where Robert Mills Met His Waterloo And When James A. Buchanan Broke The Bank, Garrett Power

Garrett Power

In 1815 Baltimore City was boom town. Its militiamen had repulsed the British sea invasion and presaged an end to the War of 1812. Napoleon’s defeat at Waterloo in 1815 signaled an end to European wars. Freedom of the seas had been restored. The Baltimore “Clipper” was the best sailing ship on the ocean. Baltimore looked to become the country’s leading exporter of grain, flour, and tobacco. Merchant James A. Buchanan, a partner in one of the country’s greatest shipping firms, had been named President of the Baltimore Branch of the Second National Bank of the United States. Civic leaders …
