Classical Molecular Dynamics Study For Defect Sink Behavior In Oxide Dispersed Strengthened Alloys, M. Mustafa Azeem, Zhongyu Li, Qingyu Wang, Qazi Muhammad Nouman Amjad, Muhammad Zubair, O. M.H. Ahmed

Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Oxide Dispersed Strengthened (ODS) alloys are considered as a potential candidate for future generation reactors and can even be graded as better radiation resistant materials than the ones already in use. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation study for defect sinks properties of ODS alloys have been investigated at 700K using LAMMPS (Atomic/Molecular massively parallel simulator software. SRIM (stopping range of ions in matter) code was used to see the approximate range of the ions and damage cascade profile. It has been observed that the oxide particle attracts vacancies/interstitials produced in the base matrix near the interface. The modeled structure looked amorphous …

Accessible Bike Share For The Midsized City, Caitlin Stevens, Zach Dripps

Purdue Road School

Bike share programs inevitably start in central business districts but often don’t reach neighborhood and core service destinations. How can bike share programs better serve communities? Michiana Area Council of Governments, partnering with the City of South Bend, launched a new dockless bike share program in July 2017 that aims to create a truly accessible network of bikes.

Where Does Public Land Come From? Municipalization And Privatization Debates, Oksana Mironova, Samuel Stein

Publications and Research

This article illuminates contemporary land-use and disposition struggles in New York City by tracing the history of land’s passage between the private and public realms. The authors contend that government and community-controlled nonprofit organizations should govern the disposition of the city’s remaining public land supply, deliberately deploying this scarce resource to promote the well-being of the people and neighborhoods most at risk in a speculation-fueled real-estate environment.

Interior design gives you the opportunity to express your creative ideas that are both multifunctional and comfortable to the client. I love exploring new methods and techniques that will grow my education in design. Seeing something that I took from a small idea and made it into something big that benefits both the client and me, is the greatest reward money can buy.

Designing Work: Collaboration Versus Concentration In Open Plan Workspaces?, John Walsh

Level 3

This paper looks at the design of open-plan offices, particularly in relation to the impact of spatial design on different work-modes. It briefly examines the history of the open plan office, looking at how today’s typical open-plan workplace has evolved. It considers how workplaces can be successfully designed to facilitate the seemingly conflicting requirements of supporting both collaboration and concentration.

Qysh me fillimin e njërzimit shtëpia ishte një nevojë esenciale. Edhe pse dallon mënyra dhe kultura e jetesës ndër shekuj, që nga koha kur njeriu jetonte në shpella e deri tek smart home, koncpeti thelbesor i shtepisë si “çati per strehim në sherbim të njërzve” mbetet akoma i njejtë edhe në ditët e sotit. Mënyra se si ka evoluar mënyra e jetesës dhe ndëtimit të shtepive gjatë historisë së njerzimit akoma mbetet sfiduese për shkak të kërkësave të reja dhe të vazhdueshme, zhvillimit të teknologjisë, zbulimit të materialeve të reja innovative dhe tendecës që të mbetemi në hap me kohën. …
