Soil-Water-Use Characteristics Of Precision-Irrigated Buffalograss And Kentucky Bluegrass, J. Ryan Stewart, Roger Kjelgren, Paul G. Johnson, Michael R. Kuhns

Plants, Soils, and Climate Faculty Publications

As landscape water conservation becomes more important in the American West, pubic interest in using low water-use turfgrasses is increasing. Little is known about soil water extraction characteristics that contribute to low water use. We investigated how buffalograss (Buchloë dactyloides (Nutt.) Engelm) and Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.), considered to be low and high water-use species, respectively, extract soil water in terms of rooting depth and use of available water. Leaf canopy temperature, air temperature, and vapor pressure deficit (VPD) were measured, and a relationship developed between leaf canopy temperature minus air temperature (TL-TA) and VPD for each species under …

Transnational Social Movements And The War On Drugs, Ben Mostyn

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

This thesis discusses the growing body of work on transnational social movement theory. Transnational social movement theory is an attempt to adapt social movement theory to the changing nature of international relations. To further this theory, I test the hypothesis that "a transnational social movement has caused drug law reforms at the local and state level".

To test this hypothesis I undertake a case study of one local and one national drug law reform. The drug laws in the state of New South Wales, Australia were reformed in 1999 to allow heroin addicts to use a medical center to inject …

Images Of Naples: Class, Gender And The Southern Character In Hester Piozzi’S Observations And Reflections, Kelley A. Cason

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

On the tenth of January 1786, Mrs. Hester Lynch Piozzi recorded her entrance into the city of Naples, Italy in her travel journal Observations and Reflections Made in the Course of a Journey Through France, Italy, and Germany. She emphasized the importance of her experience in Naples by stating that: "among all the new ideas I have acquired since England lessened to my sight upon the sea, those gained at Naples will be the last to quit me." This British woman's stay in Naples was but a brief period within her three year long Grand Tour, yet it represented …

Reflections On Contemporary Design Education: The Green Map System As A Tool For A Better Understanding Of Sustainable Practices., Paulo Souza, Alessandro Dos Santos Faria

DRS Biennial Conference Series

The main focus of this paper is Design Education and the need for implementing sustainability concepts within design disciplines. This approach reflects the urgently need of searching new methodologies in order to find the needs of the present without compromising the future generations ability in finding their own needs, according to the World Commission on Development and Environment, 1987. In this sense, some changes in design methodologies, particularly in design education, are discussed and pointed out as a matter of priority. The perspective of sustainability imposes new concepts of development, new social behavior and new cultural paradigms, which can be …

Cyber-Rates: A Platform For Understanding Designer's Kansei., Jorge C Sanabria

DRS Biennial Conference Series

The objective of this research was to categorize Internet users by identifying their cyber-rate (abilities and activities when browsing on the Internet) and use this categorization as a platform for exploring designers’ perception abilities and therefore improve information-design on the Internet. Comparing low and high ranking subjects might be a window for understanding the way kansei (Japanese for emotions, feelings, perception, etc.) acts in the brain. In the first stage, Internet users were interviewed about their abilities and categories were obtained. Based on the Protocol Analysis Method, subjects were asked to execute eight tasks on the Internet and were recorded …

Grounding Knowledge From Other Fields In Communication Design., Peter Storkerson

DRS Biennial Conference Series

This paper presents a model for framing knowledge based on the needs of communication design (design) and a way of using knowledge from other fields to develop an integrated body of design knowledge including both theory and findings. It focuses on the challenges of appropriating and translating knowledge from other fields into design knowledge. It uses theory and experiment to examine: 1 A notion of knowledge that is appropriate to design. 2 The use of findings and research methods from other fields within design. 3 Developing a specific, design oriented body of knowledge starting with insights and research findings from …

Context-Sensitive Design: Bridging Viewpoints For Human-Centered Design., Keiichi Sato

DRS Biennial Conference Series

As new technologies such as wireless networking and ubiquitous computing are implemented in various application areas, it enables to form seamless technological environments to support our work and daily life. While such technologies provide possibilities for developing new categories of products and systems, understanding contexts of use is becoming increasingly important to predict how new products can be accepted, understood, incorporated, used, and valued in people's lives. The term ‘context’ has been loosely defined and inconsistently used in design practice to represent various factors and conditions surrounding and influencing the use of the system. The performance of interactive systems is …

Variation In The Experience Of Teaching Design: The Community Of Practice Dimension., Linda Drew

DRS Biennial Conference Series

This paper explores conceptions of teaching held by academics in departments of design and explores links between those conceptions and the communities of practice associated with the subject context. This paper explores the qualitatively different ways that teachers of design experience their teaching. The study focuses on teachers of practice based subjects in design. Much of the work which has examined teachers’ conceptions built on research frameworks that also explored students conceptions and approaches to learning. Studies of conceptions of teaching have ranged from the phenomenographic (e.g. Martin and Balla, 1991; Prosser et al 1994) to those studies of belief …

Meta-Design: Putting Owners Of Problems In Charge., Gerhard Fischer

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Meta-Design is a design methodology which has the potential to transform many application areas, including: system design (customization, personalization, tailorability, end-user development, open source and open systems, living systems); architectural design (underdesign, support for “unself-conscious culture of design”); teaching and learning (teachers as facilitator, learning communities, courses-as-seeds, self-directed learning, the emergent is a necessity); and, interactive art (collaboration, co-creation, put the tools rather than the object of design in the hands of users).

The Study Of Taiwan Aboriginal Culture On Product Design., Tyan-Yu Wu, Chi-Hsien Hsu, Rungtai Lin

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Taiwan aboriginal art and craft is one of the most beautiful and primitive cultures, which displays a strong characteristic within Taiwan art, especially in its primitive form and symbolic meaning. These characteristics have a potential to generate a unique product to enhance the significant localized culture, among Global market. However, the decline of Taiwan aboriginal cultures makes us rethink its perspective in design for the extension of aboriginal culture. The motive of this study attempts to extend the Taiwan aboriginal culture by adding cultural value into consumer products and, furthermore to promote its cultural identity in the global market.

Grounding Design In Complexity., Silvia Pizzocaro

DRS Biennial Conference Series

As the frontier of present interdisciplinary sciences, complexity thinking can provide models to approach design research issues. Adaptation to the demands of a complex world requires to generate knowledge, and design knowledge, operating within a context of complexity, more than ever requires expanded and integrated ways of thought. Although the relationship between design and complexity has been explored for decades, the theory of complexity has only recently started to influence the debate in the professional community. Considering design as a wide dimension of making and planning disciplines, here it will be assumed not only that design theory and design thinking …

The Role Of Asynchronous Communication In Mediated Team Design., Andrée Woodcock, Stephen Ar Scrivener, L C Chen

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Research in CSCW has focused largely on synchronous forms of communication. However, there are strong arguments for suggesting that domains such as design, where there is a need for globalisation and to produce designs quickly and cheaply, will continue to rely on asynchronous communication. The survey of practicing designers reported here revealed that computer-mediated asynchronous communication forms a significant component of both local and remote design communication, is superceding conventional modes of remote communication and is likely to become increasingly important. In this paper we explore the affordances of asynchronous communication over synchronous modes and postulate ways in which the …
