Abstract:
Reconciling Justus Buchler's theory of natural complexes with the Peircean triadic categorial schema, a theory of semiotic radiance is articulated that elaborates the nature of identity with regard to informatic control over objects in a mu- seum collection. The model is deployed in the context of Edwina Taborsky's description of the historical transformation of the cultural syntax of museums. It is argued that the pattern of transformation is not random, but rather follows a specific and recognizable pattern. This pattern is consistent with a general trend in culture, identified by Heidegger, that becomes particularly problematic in its later stages. A theory of the commons derived from Hardt and Negri is articulated that looks to regenerate the space of the museum with regard to its informatic structures in order to renegotiate humanism in terms of a liberation ethic. The rubric of fundamental informatics is borrowed from Toru Nishigaki to describe the inquiry that pursues that end.

Abstract:
This article reviews the different aspects involved in computational form finding of bending-active structures based on the dynamic relaxation technique. Dynamic relaxation has been applied to form-finding problems of bending-active structures in a number of references. Due to the complex nature of large spatial deformations of flexible beams, the implementation of suitable mechanical beam models in the dynamic relaxation algorithm is a non-trivial task. Type of discretization and underlying beam theory have been identified as key aspects for numerical implementations. References can be classified into two groups depending on the selected discretization: finite-difference-like and finite-element-like. The first group includes 3- and 4-degree-of-freedom implementations based on increasingly complex beam models. The second gathers 6-degree-of-freedom discretizations based on co-rotational three-dimensional Kirchhoff–Love beam elements and geometrically exact Reissner–Simo beam elements. After reviewing and comparing implementation details, the advantages and drawbacks of each group have been discussed, and open aspects for future work have been pointed out.

Abstract:
Many structures in nature and engineering are symmetric. Depending on the degree of symmetry, it is possible to simplify the computations considerably by block diagonalizing the stiffness matrices. Closed-form solutions of transformation matrices for such block diagonalizations can be derived using group theory for arbitrary symmetry groups. This paper presents closed-form solutions of transformation matrices based on an alternative derivation. It is shown that transformation matrices for C nv and D nh groups can be obtained from a finite Fourier series decomposition of load and displacement vectors. Furthermore, it is shown that structures with tetrahedral, octahedral and icosahedral symmetries can be block diagonalized in an elegant way using vector spherical harmonics.

Abstract:
Logical form in logic and logical form (LF) in the Minimalist architecture of language are two different forms of representational models of semantic facts. They are distinct in their form and in how they represent some natural language phenomena. This paper aims to argue that the differences between logical form and LF have profound implications for the question about the nature of semantic interpretation. First, this can tell us whether semantic interpretation is computational and if so, in what sense. Second, this can also shed light on the ontology of semantic interpretation in the sense that the forms (that is, logical form and LF) in which semantic facts are expressed may also uncover where in the world semantic interpretation as such can be located. This can have surprising repercussions for reasoning in natural language as ell.

Abstract:
Abstract This paper offers a review of a current understanding of the content and the form of linguistic roots. It first updates and buttresses the case against semantic content of uncategorised roots and for Late Insertion of roots; then it investigates how native speakers identify roots. More specifically, the idea that roots may be polysemous or may encode the shadow of a denotation, namely the common denominator of the denotations of words derived from it, is refuted on the basis of conceptual and empirical arguments from a number of languages. Subsequently, the existence of a spectrum of content to which roots belong, with roots ranging from contentless to semantically specific and concrete, is also shown to be illusory, and to result from the actual productivity, hence diversity, of the words derived from it. Arguments for Late Insertion of roots are then reviewed and updated, divorcing roots from the forms that realise them. These arguments are systematically combined with the semantic contentlessness of roots in support of Acquaviva’s analysis of them as abstract indices, i.e. as the syntax-internal criteria of lexical identity. This account is taken to its logical conclusion in the final section: if roots are indeed abstract indices, then they cannot be identified either by the semantic content they realise within grammatical structures or by their forms. An account is therefore advanced according to which roots are identified just once by native speakers over their lexicon at a given moment and on the basis of three heuristic principles: one form-based, one based on the feature content and the exponence of the structures in which roots are embedded, and one taking care of root suppletion.

Abstract:
Fluoranthenes are polycyclic conjugated molecules consisting of two benzenoid fragments, connected by two carbon-carbon bonds so as to form a five-membered ring. Fluoranthenes possessing Kekul´e structures are classified into three types, depending on the nature of the two carbon-carbon bonds connecting the two benzenoid fragments. Either both these bonds are essentially single (i. e., single in all Kekul´e structures), or both are essentially double (i. e., double in all Kekul´e structures), or one is essentially single and the other is essentially double. All Kekul´ean fluoranthenes have equal number of bonding and antibonding molecular orbitals (MO), and no non-bonding MO.

The lessons found in the tectonic of oneâ s body will assist in discovering an integral logic that may translate in the design of the building. Living organisms inspire architectural posture that generate my architectural ideas. Architecture considered, in a very natural way reflects humans. I try to find a methodology inspired by natural organisms, finding the human body the most beautiful and functional of all natural objects. The structure begins to illustrate the innovation of the materials being employed to a different type of solution to a structural problem. The truth of materials, and honesty in the expression of structure reflect the movement of the object.

Abstract:
Engineered coastal defence structures are proliferating around coastlines globally to protect expanding urban developments from predicted sea level rise and extreme weather events. In response to evolving marine planning policies, it is becoming increasingly necessary to incorporate ecologically-sensitive design into coastal developments, not only to minimise their environmental impacts, but also to maximise potential ecological and socio-economic secondary benefits. I investigated coastal defence structures as surrogate habitats for rocky shore biodiversity, and the potential for the design of structures to be manipulated to achieve more beneficial outcomes. I focused on three major knowledge gaps that must be addressed in order to effectively incorporate ecologically-sensitive design into coastal defences: (i) the capacity to predict ecological responses to different engineering designs for coastal defence structures; (ii) the potential for ecological engineering interventions to enhance biodiversity on structures; and (iii) stakeholder perceptions regarding the desirability of potential secondary benefits that can be built-in to developments. To address the first knowledge gap, I surveyed 125 intertidal coastal defence structures around the coast of Wales, UK, and modelled the relationship between a number of physico-environmental parameters and the biological communities colonising each structure. Using these data I developed a predictive tool and demonstrated that, given the nature of the shoreline on which a new coastal defence was required (i.e. the surrounding sediments and level of exposure to prevailing wind and waves), it would be possible to predict (with up to 62% confidence) the characteristic community that could be expected to colonise a structure, based on its broad shape, position in the intertidal zone, and abundance of microhabitats. To address the second knowledge gap, I explored the potential for a novel ecological engineering intervention (drill-cored artificial rock pools) to enhance biodiversity on an intertidal riprap breakwater. Over a 30- month period, I found that the artificial pools performed an important ecological function on the structure. They were utilised by numerous species that were not otherwise recorded on surrounding emergent rock surfaces, including taxa that have frequently been reported to be absent or scarce on coastal defences previously (e.g. mobile fauna, lower-shore taxa and proportionally-rarer taxa). Furthermore, the artificial pools were just as productive as natural rock pools and supported a comparable number of species. The composition of communities in artificial and natural pools, however, was different, largely on account of differences in sessile assemblages (i.e. algae and encrusting fauna). The intervention, nevertheless, was an effective and affordable means of ecological enhancement, and has received considerable interest from industry and practitioners. To address the third knowledge gap, I investigated stakeholder attitudes regarding desirability of different potential secondary benefits that may be built-in to coastal developments. Although this study revealed complex and nuanced perceptions across sectors, there was unanimous support for implementing multi-functional coastal defence structures in place of traditional single-purpose ones, and in general the most desirable secondary benefits were ecological ones (prioritised over social, economic and technical benefits). In this thesis I evaluate these outcomes in the context of their application to marine planning and conservation management. I finally conclude by outlining the steps that are necessary to achieve wide-scale and effective implementation of ecologically sensitive and multi-functional design for artificial coastal defence structures that are becoming ubiquitous features of urban coastlines globally.

Full text
Abstract:
Palms support the largest leaves in the world and have evolved on Earth for over 120 million years. They are often reported to be the only structure left standing post-hurricane. Cross-sectional shapes of cantilevered structures are important design factors affecting torsional and bending performance. Understanding the shape contribution of natural sections such as palm petioles (modified leaf stalks) is more difficult than those for simple 2D shapes because conventional methods of calculating section properties are not well suited to these irregular shapes. The role of internal structure, material properties and external shape of palm petioles in cantilever performance has been investigated and three main contributions to knowledge result from this research. Firstly, 3D mapping, i.e., the size, orientation and position, of vascular bundles in the Trachycarpus fortunei palm petiole reveals the distributions of stress and Young’s modulus values, providing a more detailed understanding of petioles than previous work. Secondly, bulk elastic material properties along the longitudinal axis of the same petiole are then input to a bi-layered model of the same petiole establishing the Young’s modulus of the two layers without mechanically testing them individually and for determining that the outer layer is not lignified. Thirdly, the largest contribution is the introduction of modified shape transformers employing the use of circular envelopes, eliminating error caused by approximating second moment of area with the torsional constant. This leads to a novel Shape Edge Mapping (SEM) technique which deconstructs petiole cross section shape elements and enables the structural contribution of these elements to be calculated, improving the understanding of the petiole section and how it relates to its mechanical function. This thesis makes a valuable addition to the knowledge of palm function and presents novel techniques for non-destructive extraction of natural shape data for abstraction and use in preliminary engineering design.

The central thrust of this thesis is that there is much to learn from Nature. What surrounds us, and has been with us from the beginning of time, still has many insights to offer, if we are only willing to look. In Nature, shape is cheaper than material. Forces and form are continuously linked and the concept of adaptability is central to survival. Many of our designs, in contrast, have been over-designed, unresponsive and unchangeable. This thesis covers how well thought through form can yield impressive benefits which, in combination with adaptability, can create structures that are efficient as well as beautiful. Specific forms in Nature are discussed as well relevant historical examples from the built environment; including new work in deployable structures. As an example of these concepts, a kinetic adaptive structural surface was designed and built. This responded to applied loads by actively changing its shape. The thesis concludes with a discussion on emergence as one of the ways ahead for structural design that involves distributed sensing and control.

Abstract:
The logistics department at the Powertrain plant of Volvo Trucks seeks to improve the efficiency within their processes. A new concept solution to the supports (pallets) that hold and carry different types of engine parts during the transportation between the sequencing area and the final assembly line called “The new dynamic pallet based on biomimicry” was presented. The concept solves the issues of the constant modifications in the pallets lead by the changes in the design of the engine parts. The main objectives of the project is the creation of a dynamic pallet, dynamic in this case translates into a modular, flexible to different geometries and scalable system, also the design solution should be inspired by nature (biomimicry) to boost a new sustainable design approach related to the values of Volvo brand. This project required iterative research regarding the principles of biomimicry and systems found in nature. Biomimicry literally means ‘the imitation of life’ but, it is better defined as a design approach to innovation which takes inspiration from systems of nature. It is provided by Volvo as the core of the project, if the result is good then there will be a push to develop new projects following this strategy seeking sustainable solutions to solve human problems. In addition, prototyping concepts from a generation of ideas to testing results were conducted to evaluate the concepts generated. The resulting concept proposal is a whole new system but preserves the functional aspects necessary to integrate the new pallet in the current logistics performance.

Inherently characterized by the interaction of geometry and forces, the unique nature of long span dome, shell, and membrane structures readily allows collaboration between architects and engineers in the examination of their optimal form. Through the elimination of bending and shear forces in the structure, less material and reinforcement is needed. By minimizing the use of materials, a form that is economical, sustainable and aesthetically attractive emerges. However, this optimization must be done through formfinding methods, whereby the structure itself defines its own shape based on its figure of equilibrium under applied loads. Unlike free forms which are defined mathematically, form-finding shapes rely on the structure and loads themselves for definition. Before the use of computers, these equilibrium shapes could only be found through cumbersome physical models. As technology has advanced, numerical methods have evolved to solve for the optimal shape. This paper presents a brief history of physical methods formerly used, as well as common applications for these structures. Two numerical methods, the Pucher's equation method and the force-density method (FDM), are then presented. Pucher's equation relies on a prescribed stress resultant throughout the structure, while the forcedensity method relies on prescribed force-to-length ratios in each bar or cable, leading to a single system of linear equations. Advantages and disadvantages of both methods are discussed, as well as examples illustrating the types of structures that can be formed. These methods are shown to be powerful tools that can be generalized to a number of situations with minimal input required by the designer. The structures are able to define themselves, leading to extremely rational and beautiful forms.

Full text
Abstract:
In this thesis, the optimal shape of two-pin arches of constant cross-section is found analytically using a novel form-finding technique. To find the purely compressed arches built of masonry and concrete material, the state of static equilibrium is applied. As the main finding, the momentless two-pin arch shape is derived for the arches with any span-to-height ratio subjected to its self-weight (SW) and uniformly distributed load (UDL). The contribution of using momentless arches is shown through comparing their maximum displacements to those of parabolic shape. The first failure of the cross-section of the momentless and parabolic arches was then compared for the same loading. This work is conducted practising the knowledge of arch response to loading as a function of the chosen form. In this regard, a comprehensive study of the behaviour of different arch shapes considering different ratios of uniformly distributed load to self-weight (UDL:SW) is also carried out. The ideal common arch shape is investigated for minimum combined axial and bending stresses using the commercial software GSA. The optimal range of span-to-height ratio of common two-pin arch shapes is also suggested. In general, the best arch performance is exhibited for the parabolic and catenary arch with span-to-height ratios between 2–4 when UDL:SW≥1 and UDL:SW < 1 respectively. However, the circular arch demonstrates the least desirable performance with the optimum range of span-to-height ratio between 4–6. Moreover, approximate methods of two-pin arch analysis are evaluated, including the masonry design method and virtual work method suggested by Megson (2006). The effect of the assumptions made by these methods on the result of analysing two-pin arches is investigated through comparing their results to those obtained by the second theorem of Castigliano, including full structural action and the GSA results.

Various, some-times opposed, viewpoints and approaches are expressed and presented. The rather heterogeneous and controversial nature of the content of this SED shall stimulate lively discus-sions within the structural engineering community who needs to increase the awareness of historical and cultural aspects of structures and structural engineering. Current structural engineering methods and practice are only at the very begin-ning of effective engineering, really integrating historical and cultural aspects in the assessment of existing structures and in intervention projects to adapt or modify structures of cultural values for future demands.

AbstractIn this chapter, we identify structural features of families with shared physical custody that differ from those of nuclear families or those of families where one parent has sole physical custody, and discuss the implications for family and kin relationships. We pay particular attention to the ways in which shared physical custody alters the gendered nature of parenting and kinship. We argue that the structural features of shared physical custody create distinct contexts for parent-child and sibling relationships and produce differences in shared understandings of obligations between family members. The unique context for relationships and obligations together constitute a new family form. Our analysis generates an agenda for future research on the nature and consequences of shared physical custody.

Abstract:
AbstractCompared with the pre-determined architecture design based on standard elements, the underlying structure of nature is more like a complex system. Porosity language, for example, which is inspired by nature, has been widely applied in the architecture context. Through the analysis of the underlying methodologies of topology in each case, the strategy is to illustrate how clay components can achieve this natural porosity language. With the help of parametric topology, the report will clearly show how the innovative language of clay components is inspired, optimized and applied. As the background of the literature, natural porosity and examples of existing cavity wall made by clay components will be compared and analyzed in Sect. 1. In Sect. 2, Steven Hall’s porous methodology will be considered as the primary topological reference. The parametric iteration topology will be stated explicitly in Sect. 3, which will direct the randomness of porosity form to the balance between structural stability and the aesthetic value. In the last chapter, different architecture applications will be studied through the supporting of micro-climate simulation.

Abstract:
The water tower in Sholdaneshty (in the north of Moldavia) is most directly related to the construction of the railway on the Beltsy – Rybnitsa – Slobodka line, which played a transformative role in the formation of a new industrial landscape. Similar structures at railway stations were used to refuel steam locomotives with water. They were part of a single complex of roadside construction, which included both the railway station itself and the buildings of the railway depot, warehouses, workshops and other things. Being an advanced technical structure at that time, they were comprehended and designed as worthy artistic objects, in this case resembling fortress architecture. Until now, such objects in Moldavia have not been studied. Meanwhile, taking care of maintaining the old water towers in the proper architectural and artistic form solves not only the issue of preserving and studying the historical past of the region, but also the industrial landscape that was formed at the end of the 19th century.

Abstract:
The article discusses the possibility of using the technological advantages that appear in connection with the discovery of the physical essence of Time and new interpretation of the structure of space in the form of space-time quanta. One of the problems that can be successfully solved on the basis of the new physical model is the problem of establishing the true nature of gravity. The solution to this problem is directly related to the implementation of the idea of unsupported motion based on the interaction in a certain way of the created asymmetric interference structure of longitudinal waves with the natural structure of spatial frequencies.

Full text
Abstract:
The geophysical data sets available for the western Churchill Province have had a bearing on the understanding of its structure, evolution and metal endowment. New data were acquired and interpreted during the Geo-mapping for Energy and Minerals (GEM) Program (2008-2020). Regional, high-resolution aeromagnetic, and targeted gravity and magnetotelluric surveys were collected in GEM, in conjunction with geological mapping projects, in order to provide control on bedrock features beneath widespread glacial overburden and flat-lying sedimentary basins. Quantitative estimates of three-dimensional geometry were obtained in key areas through geophysical models integrating the geophysical characteristics with local rock property measurements. These geophysical data sets contributed to new knowledge and interpretations in three related research fields: 1) location and nature of Rae cratonmp;gt;'s boundaries within the western Churchill Province; 2) definition of internal Rae architecture; and 3) identification of reactivated structures controlling gold and uranium mineralization. The new data, models and emerging tectonic and metallogenic frameworks will serve as guides for future exploration in this remote, complex, challenging region.

Abstract:
The purpose of the work is to determine the specifics of the worldview foundations of bioethics, their structure, nature and essence of man in the context of the “new experience” in the field of biotechnology. Research methods - philosophical and general logical.”New experience” in the field of biotechnology, as a stimulating discussion of anthropological, axiological and social problems, must be guided by the strategy of personal preservation and the methodology of human integrity and have value-worldview attitudes as real prerequisites. In the new ethics, the fundamental principles of two historically established systems - individualism and conciliarism (collectivism) are considered in the form of complement, not contradictory. We are only talking about their ratio and the degree of demand. At the same time, the state and society, and not “personal law”, are of decisive importance.

Abstract:
This report critically examines the nature of the distinction between traditional inter-state diplomacy and sustainable development diplomacy. It then sets out the institutional changes which are necessary for the achievement of sustainable development diplomacy. Multi-stakeholder partnerships have been identified as a key means of implementation for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Given the increasing centrality of the United States (US)–China relationship in global development cooperation, understanding the modalities of their engagement may provide useful insights into how partnerships may be cultivated and deepened to realise the SDGs. The Covid-19 pandemic and climate change have demonstrated the interconnection of the world, as well as the interconnection of challenges of the world. Sustainable development diplomacy is needed now more than ever to prioritise development strategies of different states and work on common shared challenges. Sustainable development diplomacy can only work when different actors recognise the value of the common goals and are willing to make an effort to accomplish them. Global sustainable development diplomacy requires a stronger policy agenda and greater cohesion. This report explores the idea of sustainable development diplomacy and, through two sectoral case studies, explores the nature, function, and rationale for interactive engagement. The form and structure of multi-actor relationships are a response to complex, trans-border political, social, economic, and environmental challenges which require a more nuanced and varied management approach than narrowly defined state-led development. However, the power dynamics, the modalities, and experiences of engagement that underpin these dynamic relationships, remain understudied, especially with regard to their impact on sustainable development.
