Texto completoResumen
There are many programs throughout the world and in the state of Virginia that have been developed to change the outlook of youth on a broader spectrum. Youth in at risk communities face a different set of parameters and are often mislabeled as "bad kids". Many of these youth simply need an environment filled with positive energy. This redesign will create an environment that guides through intuition and the understanding of angles and markers that are considered universal in all languages. The space will open up a world that is non-institutional and without the normal boundaries and pressures of typical grading system. The education center will cultivate healthy habits for learning that can carry them on to community colleges, universities and the eventually the workforce.

Abstract A PROCESS TO REUSE EXPERIENCES VIA NARRATIVES AMONG SOFTWARE PROJECT MANAGERS By STACIE CLARK PETTER APRIL, 2006 Committee Chair: Dr. Vijay Vaishnavi Major Department: Computer Information Systems Software project management is a complex process requiring extensive planning, effective decision-making, and proper monitoring throughout the course of a project. Unfortunately, software project managers rarely capture and reuse the knowledge gained during a project on subsequent projects. To enable the repetition of prior successes and avoidance of previous mistakes, I propose that software project managers can improve their management abilities by reusing their own and others’ past experiences with written narratives. I use multiple methodologies – including literature review, grounded theory, design science research, and experimentation – to create a process for software project managers to reuse knowledge gained through experiences on software projects. In the literature review, I examine relevant research areas to inspire ideas on how to reuse knowledge via written narratives in software project management. Interviews with software project managers, analyzed using grounded theory, provide insight into the current challenges of reusing knowledge during a project. I leverage design science research methodology to develop a process of experience reuse that incorporates narratives and wikis to enable software project managers to share their experiences using written narratives. Experimentation evaluates whether the process developed using the design science research methodology improves the current knowledge reuse practices of software project managers.

While digitization projects like Google Books have dramatically increased access to digital content, in this study I show how the ability to reuse such information and deliver value to end-users depends crucially on features of copyright law. I use the digitization of both copyrighted and non-copyrighted issues of one publication digitized under Google Books, Baseball Digest, to measure the impact of copyright on a prominent venue for reuse: Wikipedia. I find that digitization causes a significant increase in content on Wikipedia pages, but copyright hurts both the extent of reuse and thereby the level of internet traffic to affected Wikipedia pages. Specific features of copyright law like "fair use" produce nuanced effects: the impact of copyright is more pronounced for images compared to text and becomes economically significant only post-digitization.

Tan, Hai Chen. "A methodology for the 'live' capture and reuse of project knowledge in construction". Thesis, Loughborough University, 2006. https://dspace.lboro.ac.uk/2134/7902.
Texto completoResumen
The importance of capturing and sharing useful knowledge from construction projects has been recognised by the construction industry. However, issues such as the loss of important insights due to the time lapse in capturing the knowledge, the need for sharing the knowledge captured as soon as possible in order to maximise the benefits brought about by reusing the knowledge, and the need to share the knowledge before the opportunities for reusing the knowledge diminish have not been adequately addressed. To address this, it is crucial for knowledge to be captured as soon as possible once it is created or identified (i.e. 'live') in a collaborative environment, and presented in a format that will facilitate its reuse during and after the project. This research was aimed at developing a methodology that facilitates the `live' capture and reuse of project knowledge in construction. An extensive literature review was first conducted on the concept of knowledge management and the current practices for managing project knowledge. Subsequently, case studies involving six companies were carried out to investigate the shortcomings of current practice and the end-user requirements for the capture and reuse of project knowledge. These requirements informed the development of the methodology for `live' capture and reuse of project knowledge. The Web IS Development Methodology (Avison and Fitzgerald, 2003) employing ASP. NET 2.0 was adopted to encapsulate the methodology into a Web-based prototype application. The evaluation of the prototype revealed that the methodology can enable project knowledge to be captured and shared `live' across different organisations without significant additional workload and costs. It is concluded that the `live' capture and reuse of project knowledge in construction is important in preventing knowledge loss and helping to harness the project knowledge captured. A combination of both KM technologies and techniques is essential for the effective management of tacit and explicit knowledge. The prototype application developed can facilitate the `live' capture and reuse of project knowledge as shown by the results of the evaluation. There is scope for enhancing this study by exploring the integration of the prototype application with other information systems, and the use of software agents to automatically locate useful knowledge from the Internet and project extranets. The methodology developed will help construction organisation to leverage their knowledge in a timely way to meet the challenge of today's fast evolving world.

Este trabalho discute a importância das diretrizes de projeto para a desconstrução de edificações com o intuito de, entre outros benefícios, reduzir o impacto ambiental e o custo gerado pelo setor de construção civil, bem como o aumento da vida útil do edifício e seus componentes. Assim, este estudo examina a necessidade da utilização destas diretrizes na fase de concepção do projeto, considerando que esta é a etapa crucial para a tomada de decisões tais como a escolha de materiais, métodos e processos de construção. Para que isso ocorra, alguns princípios devem ser observados, tais como a durabilidade e a redução de tipos dos materiais e componentes, a adaptabilidade da planta a outras funções, a preferência por conexões mecânicas, facilidade de acesso a todos os componentes e a identificação de materiais, entre outros aspectos. O levantamento destes princípios foi feito a partir da análise de literatura específica no assunto. Após a comparação dos resultados levantados, estes princípios foram tabulados e aplicados em análises a projetos arquitetônicos publicados no ano de 2012 em revistas nacionais do setor. Após concluir que, pela análise dos projetos em si, dos manuais existentes na literatura e pelo fato de que os arquitetos brasileiros parecem não estar preocupados com a descontrução em suas obras, foram propostos princípios de projeto para desconstrução adequados ao contexto da produção arquitetônica brasileira.
This work discusses the importance of design guidelines for the deconstruction in order to, among other benefits, reduce environmental impact and cost generated by the construction industry, as well as increasing the lifetime of the building and its components. Thus, this study examines the need to use these guidelines in the conceptual stage of the project, considering that is a crucial step for making decisions such as the choice of materials, construction methods and processes. For this to occur, certain requirements must be observed, such as durability and reduced types of materials and components, the adaptability of the plant to other functions, the preference for mechanical connections, easy access to all components and materials identification, among other things. The survey was done of these principles through the analysis of specific literature on the subject. After comparing the results collected, these principles were tabulated and applied in analysis of architectural projects published in national magazines sector, in 2012. After completing that, by analyzing the projects themselves, the existing manual in literature and the fact that the Brazilian architects do not seem to be concerned with deconstruction in his works, were proposed design principles for deconstruction appropriate to the context of architectural production in Brazil.

Carey, Heath Nicolas. "The Missoula Poplar Project: Utilizing Poplars to Enhance Wastewater Treatment". The University of Montana, 2010. http://etd.lib.umt.edu/theses/available/etd-05142010-135901/.
Texto completoResumen
Wastewater treatment plants rank second to agricultural runoff in the top ten major pollution sources to U.S. surface waters. Such nutrient-rich inputs can degrade aquatic ecosystems by accelerating eutrophication events, especially in summer months when surface water flows are low. Alternative treatment practices, modeled after natural ecosystem processes, could reduce nutrient inputs to surface waters while accumulating biomass and sequestering atmospheric carbon dioxide. I designed and implemented an alternative treatment strategy, using effluent to fertilize trees at the Missoula Wastewater Treatment Facility. The objectives of this work were to assess: 1) environmental impacts of effluent application; 2) tree survivorship; and 3) growth effects. A two acre plantation was established in May 2009 by planting 316 dormant, unrooted stem cuttings of two hybrid poplar species, Populus deltoides X Populus trichocarpa and Populus deltoides X Populus nigra, and the native Black Cottonwood, Populus balsamifera ssp. trichocarpa. The effects of effluent fertilization on poplar growth, soil and ground water nutrient contents were monitored throughout the first growing season of this pilot project. Effluent fertilization nearly doubled poplar growth, and as suspected, had no major impacts on soil or ground water nutrient concentrations. Continued research at this site is necessary to observe environmental impacts as effluent loading rates increase. Our initial results suggest that surface application of wastewater effluent offers a valuable strategy for decreasing effluent input rates to the Clark Fork River. Moreover, this project offers smaller communities a "blue print" from which to design similar projects that remediate nutrient-rich effluent in a cost-effective way.

Texto completoResumen
La tesi di ricerca approfondisce il tema del riuso di prodotti e componenti edilizi quale strategia circolare e sostenibile per la gestione del costruito. Essa muove dalla duplice potenzialità che tale processo presenta attraverso la conservazione delle risorse materiali, limitando gli impatti dettati dalla produzione di rifiuti da costruzione e demolizione, nonché preservando, attraverso la conservazione formale e funzionale dell’elemento nella sua integrità, la cultura materiale che lo ha prodotto.
Partendo dal quadro teorico e dello stato dell’arte, la tesi si struttura attraverso quattro linee di indagine parallele e complementari, mirate a restituire la
complessità del tema secondo una visione quanto più possibile trasversale. La prima definisce il contributo dei processi di riuso a una sostenibilità intesa non solo in ottica ambientale, ma anche sociale, culturale ed economica. La seconda esamina il valore conferito alla pratiche di reimpiego da parte dei progettisti contemporanei, evidenziando come essi vi individuino un significato culturale, al quale si associano ragioni di matrice ambientale, etico-sociale o di potenzialità espressiva. La terza linea di indagine approfondisce le incongruenze e lacune della cornice normativa europea relativa al tema, individuando le ricadute di questo quadro sulle problematiche pregresse del settore. La quarta esamina la potenziale applicazione di questa strategia a scala urbana, definendo il Reuse Design Project quale “processo progettuale che, a partire dalla formulazione del concept di un nuovo edificio fino alla sua costruzione, prevede, studia e compie l’integrazione nello stesso di prodotti e componenti edilizi, derivanti da altre costruzioni, che il progettista individua e ritiene adeguati al progetto”.
Gli esiti della ricerca consentono di determinare l’idoneità del riuso di prodotti e componenti edilizi quale strumento sostenibile per la gestione del costruito
esistente, promuovendo la potenziale diffusione futura di tale approccio. Oltre a identificare suggerimenti e azioni da intraprendere in ambito normativo per
favorire il reimpiego, la tesi propone degli strumenti operativi volti a massimizzare l’efficiacia del Reuse Design Project. L’applicazione di tali strumenti, simulata su di un caso studio reale, consente non solo di esaminarne gli esiti in termini di processo progettuale, ma anche di confrontarli con quelli di uno scenario convenzionale sotto il profilo della fattibilità tecnico-economica e degli impatti incorporati.
L’analisi dei risultati ottenuti evidenzia i caratteri innovativi propri dell’approccio progettuale volto al riuso di elementi edilizi, delle figure professionali coinvolte
e della gestione del processo di decostruzione, nonché la formazione di tipo culturale necessaria per promuovere questa strategia nella pratica di architettura.

Thesis (MBA)--Stellenbosch University, 2005.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: At the beginning of 1999, DaimlcrChrysler SA prepated itself for becoming part of the family ofintcmational plants within DaimlerChrysler AG. To do this, DaimlcrChryslcr SA had to produce vehicles for the international markets and not just for the local markets. This meant that they were required to change many processes and systems. Many processes were aligned with processes used within DaimlerCbrysler AG, while certain standatd systems like PLUS. which is the shop floor control system, were implemented. A brand new SAP system was also implemented. During the implementation of these processes and systems, a documentation methodology was developed to ensure that the processes and systems implemented in South Africa, could be reused elsewhere in the world. At the same time, a project implementation methodology was also developed to ensure that this project and futw:c projects w· document processes and systems in this manner, while ensuring strict quality control. This study looked at the above methodologies developed at DaimlerChrysler SA with the aim of knowledge reuse and the subsequent reduction of cost and project implementation time. It was found that the process modelling methodology used at DaimlerChrysler SA was comprehensive. Compared to other process modelling methodologies available in the literature, the methodology used by Daimlc.tChrysler SA covered most aspects i.e. detailed organisation structures (e.g. line and staff relationships) and informacion structures (e.g. data file structures). Within the DaimlcrChryslcr documentation methodology a strong emphasis is placed on maintaining the link between the process and system documentation. This link is important during the system development cycle, as well as for the pmpose of reuse of software. International plants wanting to use the process and system documentation from DaimlerChrysler SA as a basis for their implementations could easily follow the documentation. The documentation flows from a high level process and system concept, to detail process descriptions, to system specification docwnents, and t \stly program names and customizing settings required for the use of the system functionality. It was found that the project implementation methodology used at DalmletChrysler SA was following conventional project management guidelines, whist ensuring the maintenance of process and system docwnentation as required by the reuse approach. DaimletChrysler's reuse approach of process and system knowledge is built on the foundation of using innovation teams in local organizations together with a team coordinating centralised rollout. The approach also focuscd on the development of certain modular components that can be 100% rcused. It was found that interfaces between the DaimletChrysler core systems were ideally suited for this modular approach. The International Production Template approach led to significant cost savings. So fat, each implementation showed an improvement in total project implementation cost and time compated to the previous implementation. Each implementation was also used as an opportunity to further itnprove the template by adding functionality and widening the scope. This study showed conclusive evidence that system and process knowledge can effectively be reused, resulting in significant cost and time savings.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Aan die begin van 1999, het DaimlerChrysler SA homself gereed gemaak om deel te vorm van die familie van intemasionale aanlegte binne DaimlerChrysler AG. Om dit te vermag moes DaimlerChrysler SA voertuie vir die intemasionale markte produseer:, en nie net vir die plaaslike markte soos in die verlede nie. Hiervoor moes hulle menige prosesse en stelsels verander. Verskeie prosesse is in Iyn gebring met prosesse soos gebruik binne DaimlerChrysler AG, tenvyl sommige standaard stelsels soos PLUS, wat 'n produksie beheer stelsel is, geimplementeer is. 'n Splintemuwe SAP stelsel is ook geimplementeer. Gedurende die implementering van hierdie prosesse en stelsels, is 'n dokumentasie metodiek ontwikkel om te verseker dat prosesse en stelsels wat in Suid Afrika geimplementeer word, in ander wereld dele hergebruik kan word. Terselfdertyd is 'n projek implementerings metodiek ontwikkel om te verseker dat bogenoemde en toekomstige projekte, prosesse en stelsels op hierdie wyse sal dokumenteer terwyl streng kwaliteitsbeheer toegepas word. Hierdie studie het gefokus op bogenoemde metodieke soos deur DaimlerChrysler SA ontwikkel, met die doel om kennis en kundigheid te hergebruik, en sodoende koste en tyd te bespaar. Die studie het bevind dat die proses modellering metodiek soos deur DaimlerChrysler SA gebruik, omvattend was. Vergelykende met ander proses modellering metodieke soos in die Iiteratuur gevind, dek die metodiek soos deur DaimlerChrysler SA gebruik die meeste aspekte o.a. die fynste besonderhede van organisatoriese strukture en inligting strukture (data). Die DaimlerCbryslcr dokumentasie metodiek fokus sterk daarop om 'n verbintenis te bewerkstellig tussen proses en stelsel dokumentasie. Hierdie verbintenis is belangrik tydens die stelsel se onwikkelings kringloop, asook vir die doel van die hergebruik van die sagteware. Sodoende kan internasionale aanlegte wat die proses en stelsel dokumentasie wil gebruik as basis vir hul implementasies, maklik die vloei volg. Die dokumentasie vloei vanaf 'n hoë vlak proses en stelsel konsep na gedetailleerde proses beskrywings na stelsel spesifikasie dokumente en laastens rekenaar program name en konfigurasie verstellings wat benodig word vir die beoogde stelsel funksionaliteit. Daar is gevind dat die projek implementerings metodiek soos deur DaimlcrChrysler SA toegepas konvensionele projek bestuur beginsels volg, terwyl die metodiek verseker dat die proses en stelsel dokumentasie soos vereis deur die hergebruik benadering, op datum gehou word. DaimlerChrysler se benadering van die hergebruik van prosesse en stelsels is gegrond op die die gebruik van innovasie spanne in plaaslike organisasies, saam met 'n span wat die uitrol daarvan koordineer vanuit 'n sentrale oogpunt. Die benadering fokus ook op die ontwikkeling van sekere modulere komponente wat 100% hergebruik kan word. Daar is gevind dat die koppelvlakke tussen die leidende DaimlerChrysler stelsels uiters geskik is vir hierdie modulere benadering. Die Intemasionale Produksie Patroon as benadering het tot aansienlike koste besparings gelei. Tot op datum het elke implemenrasie 'n besparing getoon ten opsigte van die totale projek implementeringskoste in vergelyking met die vorige projek. Elke implementering is ook gcbruik as 'n geleentheid om die patroon verder te verbeter deur addisioncle funksionaliteit by te voeg en die omvang te vergroot. Hierdie studie het onweerlegbare bewyse gelewer dat stelsel en proses kennis op 'n effektiewe wyse hergebruik kan word, en wat sodoende kan lei tot beduidende koste en tyd besparings.

In 2020, the meatpacking district of Stockholm (Slakthusområdet) is at the beginning of a period of change. A lot of its buildings are being demolished, or at least gutted, to transform a historical area of industry into a more urban district of housing, offices, trade, and services along with new parks and squares (Stockholms Stad, 2020). This thesis project is specifically about the first building that was torn down as part of the development of the area, Sandhagen 2. We should consider our condemned buildings a precious resource and extract from them rather than from the earth. In every house there is invested energy which is lost the day it is demolished but there is also something else that is lost other than precious resources. The research aims to highlight the importance of reuse not from the more obvious sustainability point of view, but as something that can be aesthetically motivated. The method involves a dissection of Sandhagen 2, extracting interior architectural elements without excessive alterations, and making an organized taxonomy. The taxonomy is then rearranged into a new spatial composition. How can a space be created from a taxonomy defined by an interior architect? How does a material’s earlier life add or take away potential in its future life? The proposal is a strange space where the tension created by reuse is completely between the elements themselves, a result of having to become the conventional parts of architecture that complete a space; steps, something to sit on, floor, partitions.

With global emissions of human activities that drive climate change on the rise, global institutions and authorities are trying to introduce new regulations in the industry, in order to accomplish a significant reduction of carbon emissions. In order for companies to be more effective in reducing carbon emissions, not only from their products but also along their value chains and product portfolios, it is of vital importance to understand and quantify them. Following that need, tools that can measure the carbon footprint of various corporate operations (carbon calculators) have risen in popularity in the latest years. A sector in which companies can significantly improve their environmental impact is their IT equipment portfolio. WeCycle, as developed by Greener Scandinavia AB (partner of this project), is a platform that facilitates reselling of old IT equipment, while aiming to reduce its environmental impacts. This project then, in cooperation with WeCycle, aims to develop a software tool that calculates the environmental benefits (kg of CO2 eq. avoided) when reusing old IT equipment. This can help clients estimate this benefit, while also providing a CSR incentive. The specific methodological steps needed in order to complete the project included literature review concerning the state of e-waste and initiatives to minimize its environmental impacts, guidelines, and procedures related to LCA of IT equipment and various other carbon calculators, developing calculation model and assumptions in order to compile the database, interface design, and finally using and testing the software tool against a real case scenario - case study provided by WeCycle. The results, and design process of the project, were enlightening in the matter of understanding potential benefits of reusing IT equipment, but also in identifying the “hotspot” stages of an electronic device’s lifecycle. Even though variations were noticed depending on the type of the device (e.g. smartphones vs desktop computers), it is evident that the emissions that occur during the production phase are considered of major importance (ranked either 1st or 2nd most important/emission heavy stage), and therefore the benefits of reusing are of a high relative magnitude. All in all, this project resulted in a useful tool for WeCycle to measure the benefits of their practices, as well as for any user or company that would like to measure the carbon emissions that can be avoided when they give their old IT equipment up for resell. Hopefully, by easily quantifying these benefits, this tool can motivate both a behavioral change in the industry, as well as researchers to expand it in order to cover all sectors of the industry and everyday life.När globala utsläpp av mänskliga aktiviteter stiger, försöker globala institutioner och myndigheter att införa nya regler för att minska koldioxidutsläppen. För att företagen ska vara mer effektiva när det gäller minskade koldioxidutsläpp, inte bara från sina produkter men också med sina värdekedjor och produktportföljer, är det viktigt att förstå och kvantifiera dem. För att uppnå detta, har verktyg som kan mäta koldioxidavtrycket av olika företagsverksamheter (kolkalkylatorer) ökat i popularitet de senaste åren. En sektor i vilken företag kan förbättra sin miljöpåverkan är deras IT-utrustning. WeCycle, ett projekt som utvecklats av Greener Scandinavia AB (partner för detta projekt), är en plattform som underlättar återförsäljning av gammal IT-utrustning medan den siktar på att minska miljöpåverkan. Projektet, i samarbete med WeCycle, syftar till att utveckla ett mjukvaruverktyg som beräknar miljöfördelar (kg CO2-ekv.) vid återanvändning av gammal IT-utrustning. Detta kan hjälpa kunder att uppskatta denna fördel, samtidigt som de ger ett CSR-incitament. Projektets resultat var till hjälp för att förstå de potentiella fördelarna med att återanvända IT-utrustning, men också för att identifiera "hotspot" -stadierna i en elektronisk apparats livscykel. Även om det märktes variationer beroende på enhetens typ (t.ex. smartphones jämfört med stationära datorer) är det uppenbart att utsläpp som uppstår under produktionsfasen är av stor betydelse (rankad antingen viktigaste eller näst viktigaste fasen) och därför ger återanvändning relativt stor miljönytta. Förhoppningsvis, genom att kvantifiera dessa fördelar med ett lättanvänt verktyg, kan detta projekt motivera både en beteendemässig förändring i branschen och forskare att vidareutveckla verktyget till att omfatta alla industrisektorer och hushållens konsumtion.

Buscar texto completoResumen
Gli enti pubblici e privati gestiscono immobili che necessitano di interventi di rifunzionalizzazione, manutenzione ed adeguamento alle normative vigenti. A ciò va aggiunto che il D.lgs. n.50 del 18 Aprile 2016 ha introdotto nelle procedure di gara, in maniera ancora più significativa, il rispetto del miglior rapporto qualità/prezzo per il criterio dell’offerta economicamente più vantaggiosa.
La qualità di un processo edilizio ha diverse accezioni, ma è sempre intesa come il “grado di rispondenza delle prestazioni dell’opera realizzata, ai requisiti che ne hanno guidato la concezione, la progettazione, la produzione, la costruzione e la gestione” .
La tesi approfondisce il tema della qualità per i bandi di gara indetti dalla Pubblica Amministrazione, analizzando gli strumenti utilizzati in fase di gara e proponendo un metodo ripetibile, in grado di fare emergere un dato sintetico della qualità raggiunta in sede di progettazione esecutiva, confrontando i requisiti richiesti nel bando di gara con quelli raggiunti in seguito alla presentazione delle offerte da parte dei concorrenti. Il metodo individuato, composto da una serie di schede riassuntive per ogni unità del sistema, vuole proporsi come uno strumento da affiancare a quelli tradizionali del project management, ed intende dare supporto sia alla fase progettuale, per quanto riguarda la valutazione della qualità dell’offerta, sia alla Direzione Lavori, per la fase di verifica ed accettazione dei materiali, in modo tale da lasciare una documentazione scritta in caso di contenzioso tra la stazione appaltante e l’esecutore.
Per l’applicazione del metodo si è scelto come caso di studio l’intervento di restauro e risanamento conservativo del Teatro Comunale di Bagnacavallo (RA). Il progetto intende consegnare alla cittadinanza il pieno utilizzo della fabbrica recuperando il Ridotto del Teatro portando a valore spazi parzialmente utilizzati e con potenzialità di sviluppo ulteriore.

Today billions of people live without access to basic sanitation facilities, and thousands die every week due to diseases caused by fecal contamination associated with improper sanitation. It has thus become crucial for decision makers to have access to relevant and sufficient data to implement appropriate solutions to these problems. The Global Water Pathogen Project http://www.waterpathogens.org/ is dedicated to providing an up-to-date source of data on pathogen reduction associated with different sanitation technologies that are important if the world is to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) related to health and sanitation provision. In this research, a subset of the Global Water Pathogen Project (GWPP) data is used to access the reduction of bacteria and viruses across different mechanical and natural sanitation technologies. The order of expected removal for bacteria during wastewater treatment was reported as highest for a membrane bioreactor (4.4 log10), waste stabilization pond (2.3 log10), conventional activated sludge (1.43 log10), anaerobic anoxic oxic activated sludge (1.9 log10), trickling filter (1.16 log10), and upflow anaerobic sludge blanket reactor (1.2 log10).
Furthermore, the order of expected removal for viruses was reported as highest for a membrane bioreactor (3.3 log10), conventional activated sludge (1.84 log10), anaerobic anoxic oxic activated sludge (1.67 log10), waste stabilization pond (1 log10), upflow anaerobic sludge blanket reactor (0.3 log10) and trickling filter (0.29 log10). It was found that hydraulic retention time (HRT) had a statistically significant relation to the reduction of bacteria in an anaerobic, anoxic oxic treatment system. Similarly, a significant relation was found between the number of waste stabilization ponds in series and the expected reduction of bacteria. HRT was also found to be a significant factor in virus reduction in waste stabilization ponds. Additionally, it was observed that waste stabilization ponds, trickling filters, and UASB reactors could obtain a greater reduction in bacteria (5-7 log10) when combined with additional treatment (e.g., chemical disinfection or use of maturation ponds). Also, mechanized systems, such as activated sludge systems and membrane bioreactors, obtained a greater reduction (2-3 log10) of viruses when compared to a natural system. It was concluded that the selection of the best suitable technology for pathogen reduction depends on environmental, design, and operational factors as well as considering the performance of specific wastewater treatment systems individually as well as when combined with other treatment technologies that may provide added removal of microbial constituents.

The waste framework directive from the European Commission states that 70 percent of allconstruction- and demolition waste (CDW) should be reused or recycled. In Sweden during theyear of 2018, 52,1 percent of the generated CDW was reused or recycled, but a report fromAvfall Sverige showed that reuse only accounted for small fractions of this. According to theEU's waste hierarchy, waste reduction followed by reuse are the most desirable ways to handlewaste. Research for how to reuse CDW is therefore considered an interesting and relevant topicfor research to help achieve the goal of the waste framework directive. The purpose of this master thesis was to further develop a Multi Criteria Analysis (MCA)model which was applied on different building components to evaluate how well suited theywere for reuse considering; (1) financial return, (2) environmental impact, (3) energyconsumption and (4) external aspects. The study was performed as a case study and the appliedmethods within the case study were interviews, a survey as well as the MCA model. To estimateaspects one to three of the MCA model, the theoretical framework consisted of a Cost BenefitAnalysis (CBA) and a Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) in accordance with the European standardEN15978. The fourth aspect was evaluated with help of a survey to assess qualitativedimensions of reuse. The study concluded that there are many challenges related to reuse in demolition projects.Some major challenges identified were the limited time frames, absence of competence andexperience among actors as well as logistical challenges. According to the results from theMCA model, there is a difference in how well suited the studied components were for reuse.The two most beneficial components to reuse out of the investigated ones in the case studywere crushed concrete and aluminum doors. It was also concluded that the MCA model issuitable to apply in this component specific context.Avfallsdirektivet från Europeiska kommissionen säger att 70 procent av allt bygg- ochrivningsavfall (CDW) ska återanvändas eller återvinnas. I Sverige under året 2018återanvändes eller återvanns 52,1 procent av den totala mängden genererad CDW. En rapportfrån Avfall Sverige visade dock att återanvändning endast stod för små andelar av dessa 52,1procent. Enligt EU:s avfallshierarki är avfallsminimering följt av återanvändning de mestönskvärda metoderna för hantering av avfall. För att uppnå målet i avfallsdirektivet är studierkring återbruk av CDW ett intressant och relevant ämne. Syftet med detta examensarbete var att vidareutveckla en MCA-modell (Multi CriteriaAnalysis) som tillämpades på olika byggkomponenter för att utvärdera hur lämpliga de var föråteranvändning. Fyra aspekter togs i beaktning i modellen, nämligen (1) finansiell avkastning,(2) miljöpåverkan, (3) energiförbrukning och (4) externa aspekter. Studien utfördes som enfallstudie och de tillämpade metoderna inom fallstudien var intervjuer, en enkät samt utförandetav MCA-modellen. Det teoretiska ramverket för att uppskatta aspekterna ett till tre i MCAmodellenvar en kostnadsnyttoanalys (CBA) och en livscykelanalys (LCA) som utfördes ienlighet med den europeiska standarden EN15978. Den fjärde aspekten utvärderades med hjälpav en enkät för att bedöma de kvalitativa dimensionerna av återanvändning. Slutsatsen av studien var att det finns många utmaningar relaterade till återanvändning irivningsprojekt. Några stora utmaningar som identifierats var begränsade tidsramar, avsaknadav kompetens och erfarenhet bland aktörer samt logistiska utmaningar. Enligt resultaten frånMCA-modellen finns det en skillnad i hur väl lämpade de studerade komponenterna var föråteranvändning. De två mest fördelaktiga komponenterna att återanvända av de undersökta ifallstudien var krossad betong och aluminiumdörrar. Vidare drogs slutsatsen att MCAmodellenär lämplig att använda i detta komponentspecifika sammanhang.

The certification of systems in the medical domain aims to ensure that a system is acceptably safein order to bear the CE mark. Such process is exhaustive, expensive, time-consuming and safety-critical.Medical devices shall be re-certified under Medical Device Regulations. The first de-facto platform for re-certification is delivered by AMASS project. This thesis is expected to fill the specific gap: evaluate the compliance re-certification efficiency of the platform in the medical domain during the re-certification effort required as a consequence of a change in the normative space. Due to the lack of demonstrations in this safety-critical domain, the standard for medical devices, ISO 14971 with its versions and the Notified Bodies Recommendation Group (NBRG) Consensus paper are considered. There are several differences among them, in terms of the normative part and the fact whether they are international or only applicable in Europe. The evaluation will be conducted on acase study and the research has followed best practicing in case study design/execution. The focus is on two changes. The first change in the normative space is represented by the introduction of the EU directives (EU Medical Device Directives (MDDs): 90/385/EEC, 93/42/EEC, and 98/79/EC.) in relation to ISO 14971:2007, which required the introduction of ISO 14971:2012 (which applies only to manufacturers placing devices on the market in Europe). The second change is represented by the introduction of ISO 14971:2019, an international standard. Through the tool-chain (EPF Composer-BVR Tool), the families of standards and processes are modeled. The reuse of components is assessed through the application of selected metrics creating the measurement framework.The aim is to increase evidence according to the usefulness of the tool-chain in other domains. This master thesis will contribute with a case study evaluation of the tool-chain (a subset of the platform), considering cross-jurisdictional challenges. This work could represent the starting point for an evaluation where not only reference-processes are considered, but also the processes actually modelled in industrial settings.

Texto completoResumen
This PhD Thesis contributes to the domain of Educational Technologies, and more specifically to the Learning Design (LD) research field, which focuses on supporting teachers in the creation of effective computer-supported learning activities considering the needs of their educational contexts. Research in LD has provided a myriad of tools and methods. Yet, existing tools lack collaboration support for communities of teachers engaged in learning (co-)design. Moreover, scope of tools is varied in terms of representations used, pedagogical approaches supported, and design phases targeted (from conceptualization to authoring and implementation). This diversity of tools contrasts with lack of articulation of their synergies to offer meaningful, manageable and integrated LD ecosystems for teachers and communities of teachers. This Thesis is framed in this problem area. Its guiding research question is: How can community platform management mechanisms support teachers in integrated learning design ecosystems? This question is addressed by more specific investigation towards addressing four specific research objectives. The first objective is explorative, focused on understanding needs for
management mechanisms in LD community platforms. The resulting contribution includes participation in building and evaluating LD community platforms (LdShake, Learning design Sharing and co-edition, and ILDE, Integrated Learning Design Environment) in the context of Spanish and European projects, and the identification of needs tackled in the following three research objectives.
The second objective deals with enabling flexible management of learning (co-)design processes that involve use of several LD tools. The associated contribution is a model and implementation for LD Workflows, which shape orchestrated uses of selected LD tools that can be applied to LD Projects. The third objective focuses on supporting management of multiple learning design versions in scenarios of reuse and co-design. The contribution is a model and visualization strategy based on a family tree metaphor. The fourth objective concerns the need for interoperability between co-(design) tools and platforms, and in particular focuses on design patterns as structured LD representations of
special interest because they collect repeatable good teaching practices. The contribution is a pattern ontology for computationally representing a pattern language (working case of design patterns in Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning) and a derived model together with an architecture for interoperable management of patterns across LD tooling. Contributions have been implemented in LdShake and ILDE community platforms, showing feasibility, enabling proofof-concept in significant scenarios and user studies involving teachers.Las contribuciones de esta Tesis Doctoral se enmarcan en el ámbito de las Tecnologías Educativas, y más concretamente en el campo de investigación del Diseño de Aprendizaje (LD acrónimo en inglés). Este campo se centra en dar apoyo a los profesores en la creación de actividades educativas apoyadas por ordenador teniendo en consideración sus contextos educativos. La investigación en el campo de LD ha proporcionado gran cantidad de herramientas y métodos. Sin embargo, estas herramientas todavía carecen de mecanismos que posibiliten la colaboración en comunidades de profesores involucradas en el (co-)diseño de aprendizaje. Además, el alcance de las herramientas es muy variado en cuanto a las representaciones utilizadas, los enfoques pedagógicos utilizados, y fases de diseño a las que van dirigidas (desde la conceptualización, hasta la autoría y hasta la implementación). Esta diversidad de herramientas contrasta con la falta de articulación de sus sinergias para ofrecer ecosistemas LD significativos, manejables e integrados para profesores y comunidades de profesores. Esta problemática motiva la investigación realizada en esta Tesis. La pregunta de investigación que la guía es: ¿Cómo pueden apoyar los mecanismos de gestión de plataformas comunitarias dar soporte en ecosistemas de diseño de aprendizaje integrado? Esta cuestión se aborda en la investigación más concreta de cuatro objetivos específicos. El primer objetivo es exploratorio, se centra en la comprensión de las necesidades de mecanismos de gestión en plataformas para comunidades en LD. La contribución resultante incluye la participación en la implementación y evaluación de las plataformas para comunidades en LD (LdShake, acrónimo en inglés de Learning design Sharing and co-edition, e ILDE, acrónimo en inglés de Integrated Learning Design Environment) en el contexto de proyectos españoles y europeos, así como la identificación de las necesidades abordadas en los tres siguientes objetivos de la investigación. El segundo objetivo busca permitir una gestión flexible de los procesos de (co-)diseño de aprendizaje que implique el uso de varias herramientas de LD. La contribución asociada es un modelo e implementación de los flujos de trabajo de LD (LD Workflows en inglés). Los LD Workflows se definen para permitir la representación de las herramientas de LD seleccionadas que se pueden aplicar a proyectos de LD (LD Projects, en inglés). El tercer objetivo se centra en el apoyo a la gestión de múltiples versiones de diseño de aprendizaje en escenarios de reutilización y (co-)diseño. La contribución es un modelo y una visualización basada en una metáfora del árbol familiar (family tree, en inglés). El cuarto objetivo trata la necesidad de interoperabilidad entre herramientas de (co-)diseño y plataformas de LD, y en particular, se centra en los patrones de diseño como representaciones LD estructuradas de especial interés ya que recogen buenas prácticas docentes repetibles. La contribución es una ontología de patrones que representa computacionalmente un lenguaje de patrones (centrándose en los patrones de CSCL, del inglés:Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning) y un modelo derivado junto con una arquitectura para la gestión interoperable de patrones a través de herramientas de LD. Las contribuciones se han implementado en las plataformas de comunidades de LD LdShake e ILDE mostrando su viabilidad, ofreciendo la prueba de conceptos en escenarios significativos y estudios con profesores en entornos reales.

Texto completoResumen
The availability of fresh water supplies throughout the world has been getting scarcer over the past several decades, leading to existing or impending water shortages in many regions. In this context, water reuse has emerged as a genuine and reliable alternative that can be used to supplement, and in some cases substitute traditional water sources. The practice of water reclamation and reuse has developed tremendously in the last century. With the rate of growth projected to increase even further, water reuse schemes of larger size will have to be planned, addressing an ever expanding list of technological, environmental, social and financial considerations. Therefore, decision support systems (DSS) are acutely needed to assist the planners of future water reuse schemes. The DSS developed in this thesis and embodied in the WTRNet (Water Treatment for Reuse with Network Distribution) software tool takes into account the interactions that exist between the individual schemes components (treatment trains, distribution system and end-users of reclaimed water) in evaluation and selection of most promising design alternatives. Comprising of a simulation and optimisation components, the DSS provides a user-friendly platform for evaluation and optimisation of integrated water reuse schemes. The numbers of potential design alternatives for schemes of different size are determined, and are shown to be substantially reduced by using rules that determine feasible treatment trains. Optimisation algorithms appropriate for schemes of different size are developed and tested on case studies to verify the DSS, which includes a novel and efficient linear programming methodology of least-cost sizing of reclaimed water distribution systems. The benefits of evaluation in the proposed manner are demonstrated by deriving optimal water reuse schemes for the City of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. The results of application of WTRNet on the case study indicate that the selection of optimal treatment alternatives based on different criteria has potentially significant effect on the cost of optimal alternatives, and that the selection of end-users requires a structured approach that takes into account factors other than their demand and location relative to the source.

Texto completoResumen
Thesis (MTech (Interior Design))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2017.This research is about the spaces between places in urban settings, also referred to as "Interiorscapes", a term coined by Paul Cooper (2003). These spaces are often overlooked by developers and urban planners in their vision of the bigger scheme yet they function as extensions of the habitable spaces in buildings and contribute to the overall structure and understanding of a place. If disregarded these spaces can potentially become neglected and derelict inadvertently sanctioning opportunities for crime. In Cape Town, the proposed developments at the Two Rivers Urban Park in partnership with the Western Cape Government and the City of Cape Town, offer an opportunity to explore the inclusion of Interiorscapes in adaptive reuse projects aimed at creating sustainable commercial urban spaces in Cape Town. This interpretive qualitative research was conducted by exploring proposals made for two of the districts within the Two Rivers Urban Park area; (1) Oude Molen Ecovillage, currently a mixed-use sustainable neighborhood, and (2) the River Club where planning is currently underway to develop a commercialised recreational hub and tourist attraction. These sites were identified as study areas as they offer the potential for the implementation of Interiorscapes in adaptive reuse projects. Using a Grounded Theory approach, data was collected by interviewing the stakeholders, reviewing the proposals drawn up for these developments and through observations made when visiting the sites. Using the principles of New Urbanism, data has been analysed and the findings are presented as a narrative. The findings of this research indicate that ultimately the inclusion of Interiorscapes and all they represent is tied up in politics and economic processes monopolised by developers. The construct of Interiorscapes becomes a metaphor for the wellconsidered, well planned, user centered, ‘bottom-up’ design solutions which in the current context may present as a challenging problem which has no apparent solution. Recommendations are made for sustainable design alternatives to the current building and planning practices in Cape Town for adaptive reuse projects through the introduction of Interiorscapes.

Texto completoResumen
The present study attempts to clarify questions concerning the validity of participatory strategies by comparing the practical results with the theoretical objectives. To accomplish this, an internationally renowned participatory project, Brazil's Garbage-Purchasing project located in the municipality of Curitiba, is evaluated using the qualitative-based RRA methodology. The findings reveal a project colored by municipal political objectives and where the supposed beneficiaries, residents of the Jardim da Ordem area, refuse any further involvement with the project. The study details how the social and political contexts are determining factors in the development of the participation. Furthermore, it is clearly demonstrated that the absence of appropriate measures to address the community's social structure shows that participation alone does not result in the theoretical objectives---the community's involvement in the decision-making process and the achievement of sustainable development.

O objetivo deste trabalho é explorar a temática da valorização do patrimônio arquitetónico, herdado pela indústria da seda, baseando-se na história das técnicas, na gestão e na valorização do patrimônio industrial. É a partir do estudo de duas fábricas de seda na Europa: o Filatoio di Caraglio em Itália (data de construção: 1676-1678) e o Real Filatório de Chacim em Portugal (data de construção: 1788) que serão discutidas as estratégias encontradas para a conservação/restauração dos dois casos em questão, com base em suas histórias e contextos atuais. O Filatoio di Caraglio é uma das fábricas de seda mais antigas da Europa tendo como técnica o moinho alia piemontese publicado na Encyclopédie como uma das melhores invenções. No caso do Real Filatório de Chacim, constata-se que a introdução deste moinho por meio de técnicos italianos constituiu uma transferência tecnológica entre os dois países.

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this research is to examine the enhancement of architectural heritage inherited from the silk industry, focusing on technical history, and the management and valorization of industrial heritage. Conservation/restoration strategies are discussed by analyzing solutions proposed in two European silk mills: The Filatoio di Caraglio, in Italy (date of construction: 1676-1678) and the Real Filatório de Chacim, in Portugal (date of construction: 1788), taking into consideration their histories and current context. While the former is one of the oldest European silk mills, employing the alla piemontese technique, which was praised by the Encyclopédie, the latter was set up by ltalian technicians, establishing a technology transfer between the two countries.

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível SuperiorSoftware process definition requires choosing the process elements that appropriately fulfil the tailoring requirements, such as to prevent risks or to satisfy quality goals. The selection of appropriate process elements is usually done manually, making this process complex, time-consuming and error-prone. Our main objective is to define a systematic approach to tailor software process and a tool support to simplify and to support the tailoring process, improving the selection process of reusable process elements. A systematic approach was developed to tailor the software process based on software architectures and process lines. The approach selects the most appropriate elements of processes according to the tailoring requirements. A web tool was developed to support the use of the proposed approach. Aiming to illustrate the approach proposed in this paper, an case study and an experiment were conducted. The case study describe projects with different characteristics and consequently are different generated tailoring processes. With experiment can be noted that the Software Process Line helped mainly in the sequencing process, optimizing resources and improving management process. The use of architecture provided the retrieval of a set of activities that have been prioritized according to the characterization of the project, defining required and optional elements and the accretion of tailoring requirements. Facilitating thus the adequacy of the process used for different contexts of projects. We concluded that the approach aids process engineer to make decisions for selecting a set of process elements suitable to the tailoring requirements and to the project context.

A seleção dos elementos de processos adequados é geralmente feita manualmente, tornando este processo complexo, demorado e sujeito a erros. O principal objetivo é definir uma abordagem sistemática para adequar o processo de software e uma ferramenta de apoio para simplificar e apoiar o processo de adaptação, melhorar a seleção dos elementos de processos reutilizáveis. Foi desenvolvido uma abordagem sistemática para adequar o processo de software com base em arquiteturas de processo de software e linhas. A abordagem seleciona os elementos de processos mais adequados de acordo com os requisitos de adaptação. Uma ferramenta web foi desenvolvida para suportar o uso da abordagem proposta. Visando exemplificar a abordagem proposta neste trabalho, foram realizados um estudo de caso e um experimento. O estudo de caso descreve projetos com diferentes características, e, consequentemente são gerados diferentes processos adaptados. Com o experimento pode-se notar que as Linha de Processos de Software auxiliaram principalmente no sequenciamento do processo, otimizando os recursos e melhorando o gerenciamento do processo. A utilização da arquitetura proporcionou a recuperação de um conjunto de atividades que foram priorizadas de acordo com a caracterização do projeto, definindo elementos obrigatórios e opcionais e o acréscimo de requisitos de adaptação. Facilitando, desta forma, a adequação do processo utilizado para diferentes contextos de projetos. Conclui-se que a abordagem auxilia o engenheiro de processos a tomar decisões na seleção do conjunto de elementos de processos mais adequados as exigências de adaptação e contexto do projeto.

Texto completoResumen
The industrialized world is littered with tens of thousands of acres of vacant, decaying, and often contaminated industrial and commercial sites. These sites, commonly referred to as brownfields, scar the landscape of communities, expose citizens to possible health risks, deteriorate surrounding land values, and erode the tax base of municipalities. Vacant and abandoned industrial sites are present in every state, but the blight associated with brownfields is worst in Americas rustbelt, the chain of once great industrial cites and towns stretching along historic canals and rail lines from Baltimore to Boston, and west to Milwaukee. This thesis investigates federal and state brownfields policies and reviews contemporary brownfields literature and through a case study approach, it explains how state and federal policies created a climate conducive to brownfields redevelopment in Baltimore, Maryland. By analyzing two successful Baltimore projects, the research shows how the reuse of brownfields had a positive ripple-effect that helped precipitate neighborhood-level investment and revitalization. To help clarify the intricacies often associated with the reuse of brownfields, documentation on financing mechanisms, tax incentives, and state-level Voluntary Cleanup Program application materials are analyzed and described. The impact of the two case study sites on surrounding neighborhoods is researched quantitatively by comparing citywide tax assessed values, real property sales records, and building permit data. The datasets were collected for three years (1995, 2001, and 2007) each representing a distinct time period in Baltimores recent history of brownfield redevelopment. Lastly, to help establish comparable rates of neighborhood investment, this thesis uses location quotients based on building permit applications. The quotients compare Baltimores citywide building activity to building activity in neighborhoods with reclaimed brownfield sites.

Texto completoResumen
2.4 billion people worldwide lack access to basic sanitation solutions, with major health and environmental impact as a result. The recently adopted worldwide Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) aim to reduce this problem and extend the access to basic sanitation. The sanitation systems have to be safe to manage, and resources such as nutrients within the waste be recovered to a great extent, for the system to be worthwhile. For Burkina Faso, a low-income country in West Africa, achieving the SDGs will be a challenge, especially considering the almost 9 million people that lack access to basic sanitation. One way of achieving this is through Ecological Sanitation (EcoSan), an innovation with the goal of protecting human health and enabling reuse of sanitized human excreta as fertilizer. The overall purpose of this study is to provide sanitation practitioners in Burkina Faso with useful information on how to better carry out EcoSan interventions in the future, within the scope of achieving the SDGs.The study aim is to investigate why and to what extent earlier EcoSan latrines have not been used to their full capacity regarding nutrient recovery to local agriculture. The results are mainly based on a household survey conducted on rural Burkinabe households possessing an EcoSan latrine and supplemented with focus group discussions, key informant interviews and measurements on site. To fulfill the study objective, a material flow analysis was performed which showed that nutrient losses of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium all were likely to exceed 80%, compared to the theoretically calculated values. Additionally, 14 barriers for recovery of nutrients were identified, where the most important ones concern urine collection and storage. Furthermore, results showed that use and reuse practices tended to be higher if initialtraining focused on agricultural aspects rather than hygiene aspects.2.4 miljarder människor världen över saknar idag tillgång till grundläggande sanitetslösningar, med stora effekter på människor hälsa och närmiljö som följd. Tillgång till sanitet ska inte bara uppfyllas, enligt de nyligen antagna globala målen för hållbar utveckling (SDG) ska hantering av det mänskliga avfallet ske på ett säkert sätt samt att näringsresurserna i detta återvinnas. För Burkina Faso beläget i Västafrika och ett av världens fattigaste länder, kommer det bli en stor utmaning att uppnå SDG-målsättningarna, särskilt med tanke på de nästan 9 miljoner invånare som helt saknar tillgång till grundläggande sanitet. Ett sätt att uppnå målsättningarna är genom ekologisk sanitet (EcoSan), ett koncept med målen att skydda människors hälsa samt möjliggöra återanvändning av hygieniserat mänskligt avfall som gödningsmedel i det lokala jordbruket. Det övergripande syftet med denna studie är att ge aktörer inom sanitetssektorn i Burkina Faso användbar information om hur EcoSan-interventioner kan genomföras bättre i framtiden inom ramen för SDG. Det närliggande syftet var att undersöka varför och i vilken utsträckning tidigare EcoSan-latriner inte har använts till sin fulla kapacitet när det gäller näringsåtervinning till det lokala jordbruket. Resultaten baseras huvudsakligen på en enkät på Burkinska hushåll som äger en EcoSan och kompletterades med fokusgruppdiskussioner, intervjuer med nyckelpersoner och mätningar. För att uppfylla syftet med projektet genomfördes en materialflödesanalys för att kvantifiera skillnaden mellan teoretisk och praktisk återföring av näringsämnena kväve, fosfor och kalium till jordbruket. Förlusten av samtliga tre näringsämnen överskred 80%. Dessutom identifierades 14 barriärer för återföringen, där de viktigaste rör insamling och lagring av urin. Hushållens återföringspraxis tenderade att bli högre om den initiala undervisningen var mer inriktad mot jordbruksaspekten än på hygienaspekten.

Theses (MDF)--Stellenbosch University, 2013.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) capitalise on the distinctive advantage of the private sector’s capacity and experience in providing public infrastructure and services. This collaborative arrangement pools the resources and strengths of each partner in order to attain the anticipated project objectives. Municipalities are faced with a number of challenges; among them the consistent increase in urban population growth and resource constraints. This then inhibits infrastructure provision and puts pressure on the public institution to deliver basic services such as water and sanitation, and solid waste disposal. In light of this, private sector participation can enhance urban development through capacity building and delivery of the necessary infrastructure and services. This study examined the performance of an operation and maintenance PPP project in the area of solid waste management in the Municipality of Windhoek. More specifically, it assessed the extent to which this particular project has contributed to infrastructure development and service delivery at the municipal level, the factors that contributed to the success of the PPP arrangement, the lessons that can be learnt from, and the challenges associated with such an undertaking. By applying a case study methodology and utilising typical performance indicators of a PPP, the author attempted to determine the effectiveness of this PPP project. The study revealed that engaging a competent private sector partner can be an effective way of delivering critical services needed for attaining the desired goal. On the other hand, the study found that a lack of explicit quantitative targets and/or deliverables incorporated in the contract agreement makes it difficult to assess and measure the performance of the project. Furthermore, the study discovered the importance of clearly identifying, prioritising and apportioning all risks associated with the project at the time of contract formulation to avoid any undesirable consequences such as non-compliance, which can lead to penalties for the contracted partner. The study observed that the factors contributing to the success of the project were the keen interest of both partners in the long-term sustainability of the project, the presence of an experienced contractor, and having clear monitoring mechanisms in place.

O principal objetivo do desenvolvimento de aplicações multimodais é possibilitar uma maneira mais natural dos seres humanos se comunicarem com as máquinas, por meio de interfaces mais eficientes, intuitivas, fáceis de usar e, de certa forma, mais inteligentes. No entanto, a literatura da área mostra que a reutilização, tanto de conhecimento como de código fonte, ainda apresenta problemas, dados a complexidade do código em sistemas multimodais, a falta de mecanismos eficientes de testes de usabilidade e a dificuldade em se gerenciar a captura, o armazenamento e a recuperação de conhecimento de projeto. Nesta tese argumenta-se que a utilização de uma abordagem sistemática, centrada no usuário, apoiada por uma ferramenta computacional e com um modelo bem definido que permita o desenvolvimento de interfaces multimodais com a reutilização de Design Rationale, aumenta e melhora os níveis de usabilidade, promove a identificação e utilização de padrões de projeto e o reúso de componentes. Para demonstrar esta tese, apresenta-se neste texto a abordagem para o desenvolvimento de interfaces multimodais Web, MMWA, e o seu ambiente de autoria, o MMWA-ae, ambos compostos por atividades que auxiliam a equipe de projeto durante as fases de projeto, desenvolvimento e avaliações de usabilidade. São discutidos também os resultados obtidos com a execução de três estudos de caso, realizados no ambiente acadêmico, nos quais se buscou determinar a viabilidade da abordagem e os benefícios que podem ser alcançados com a combinação de diferentes técnicas, a saber: design rationale, padrões de projeto, modelagem de tarefas, componentes de software, princípios de usabilidade, avaliações heurísticas, testes com usuários, regras de associação, entre outras. Os resultados evidenciam que a abordagem e seu ambiente de autoria podem proporcionar diferentes benefícios para organizações que desenvolvem sistemas multimodais, incluindo o aumento da usabilidade e consequentemente da qualidade do produto, bem como a diminuição de custos e da complexidade do desenvolvimento com a reutilização de código e de conhecimento capturado em projetos anterioresThe main goal of developing multimodal applications is to enable a more natural way of communication between human beings and machines through interfaces that are more efficient, intuitive, easier to use and, in a certain way, more intelligent. However, the literature shows that the reuse of both knowledge and source code still presents problems, given the complexity of the code in multimodal systems, the lack of efficient mechanisms to test the usability and the difficulty in managing the capture, the storage and the recovery of design knowledge. In this thesis it is discussed that the use of a systematic approach, usercentered, supported by a computer tool and with a well defined model that allows the development of multimodal interfaces with the reuse of DR, increases and improves the usability levels, promotes the identification and the use of design patterns and the reuse of components. To demonstrate this thesis, it is shown in this text an approach to develop Web multimodal interfaces (MMWA) and its authoring environment (MMWA-ae), both composed of activities that help the design team during the different project phases: design, development and usability evaluation. We also discuss in this thesis the results obtained with the execution of three case studies, executed in the academic environment, which aimed to determine the feasibility of the approach and the benefits that can be achieved with the combination of different techniques, such as: design rationale, design patterns, tasks model, software components, usability principles, heuristic evaluations, user testing, association rules, among others. The results show clearly that the approach and its author environment can provide different benefits to organizations that develop multimodal systems, including the usability improvement and, consequently, the quality of the product, as well as the decrease of costs and complexity since it encompasses the development with reused code and design knowledge captured in previous projects

Hospital Dia ? definido pela Portaria n? 44 (S?O PAULO. Secretaria Estadual de Sa?de, 2001), como a assist?ncia intermedi?ria entre a interna??o e o atendimento ambulatorial, para realiza??o de procedimentos cl?nicos, cir?rgicos, diagn?sticos e terap?uticos, que requeiram a perman?ncia do paciente na Unidade por um per?odo m?ximo de 12 horas Na ?rea de assist?ncia ? sa?de, a quest?o da ?desospitaliza??o? est? em pauta, tendo em vista o alto custo da interna??o prolongada, al?m dos riscos a que os pacientes est?o expostos no ambiente hospitalar. O presente trabalho objetiva levantar o programa de necessidades de um Hospital Dia Cir?rgico e aplic?-lo no projeto de reforma/reuso de uma edifica??o existente, onde funcionou uma cl?nica de cirurgia pl?stica na cidade de Natal/RN e que se encontra desativada. O reuso de edifica??es ? cada vez mais comum dentro do conceito da sustentabilidade, sobretudo nas grandes cidades onde praticamente n?o h? mais estoques de ?reas livres para novas constru??es, a n?o ser pela demoli??o do patrim?nio edificado pr?-existente ou pela sua reciclagem, requalifica??o, reconvers?o ou retrofit. Os procedimentos metodol?gicos adotados foram: pesquisa bibliogr?fica; estudos de refer?ncia diretos e indiretos; levantamento das condicionantes legais, atrav?s da an?lise da legisla??o vigente para a ?rea e das normas para o tipo de projeto a ser desenvolvido; defini??o do programa de necessidades de um hospital dia cir?rgico; condicionantes clim?ticas da cidade objeto; reconhecimento da ?rea do entorno da edifica??o objeto de interven??o; levantamento da edifica??o existente: digitaliza??o das plantas fornecidas pelo arquiteto respons?vel pelo projeto original; conversa com o propriet?rio e visita t?cnica a edifica??o; elabora??o da proposta de reforma/reuso, bem como escolha de materiais de acabamento pertinentes ao projeto. Por fim s?o apresentados os benef?cios e dificuldades encontradas para se desenvolver uma proposta de reuso de uma edifica??o de uso hospitalar.
Day Hospitals are defined by ordinance No. 44 (S?O PAULO. Secretaria Estadual de Sa?de, 2001), as the intermediate care between inpatient and outpatient care, to conduct clinical, surgical, diagnostic and therapeutic procedures that requires the patient's stay in unit for at most 12 hours. The subject of "deinstitutionalization" is at study, considering the high cost of prolonged hospitalization and risks to which patient who is exposed to the hospital environment. This paper aims to raise the program needs to a Surgical Day Hospital and apply it in an Architectural Project at an old and unused building: reusing an existing building, where ran a cosmetic surgery clinic in Natal / Brazil. The reuse of buildings is a common concept of sustainability, especially in big cities where there are practically no more unoccupied areas for new construction. Except for the demolition of the pre-existing built or their recycling, regeneration, conversion or retrofit. The methodological procedures adopted were: literature review; studies of direct and indirect reference; selection of legal restrictions, through the analysis of existing legislation for the area and the rules for the type of project to be developed; definition of the needs of a surgical day hospital program; discussion of climate variables; reconnaissance of the area around the building of intervention; design of the existing building: draw in CAD the plants given by the architect responsible for the original design; meeting with the cosmetic surgery clinic?s owner; technical visit to the building; Project completion and choice of finishing materials. Finally, the benefits and difficulties to develop a proposal for reuse of a building for hospital use will be presented as a contribution of this thesis.

O seguinte trabalho apresenta como tema a seguran?a contra inc?ndio aplicada a uma edifica??o de interesse hist?rico, sendo proposto o anteprojeto arquitet?nico de reuso do antigo Grupo Escolar Augusto Severo, localizado na cidade de Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, como pano de fundo para esta discuss?o. A proposta arquitet?nica contempla a instala??o do Centro de Extens?o, Cidadania e Cultura da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte na referida edifica??o e, partiu de uma demanda real da institui??o que na data da pesquisa desenvolvia o mesmo projeto em seu ?mbito t?cnico-administrativo. No desenvolvimento do trabalho ? proposto a aplica??o da legisla??o local de prote??o e combate contra inc?ndio e tamb?m a an?lise de risco de inc?ndio proposta pela metodologia do Programa Monumenta, a qual ? adotada pelo Instituto do Patrim?nio Hist?rico e Art?stico Nacional (IPHAN) atrav?s dos seus Cadernos T?cnicos. As duas quest?es apresentadas se diferem por se tratar a primeira de um modelo tradicional e prescritivo (aplica??o estrita da lei), e a segunda de um modelo n?o prescritivo que procura crit?rios de desempenho da edifica??o para elencar as medidas de prote??o a serem adotadas, portanto, o trabalho procura abranger na situa??o de projeto proposta tanto as quest?es legais, como tamb?m considerando o real risco que a edifica??o apresenta (de acordo com a metodologia escolhida). Estes riscos, no caso de pr?dios hist?ricos, podem ser maiores que os normalmente associado as edifica??es contempor?neas devido a uma s?rie de fatores, tais como a baixa compartimenta??o, falta de prote??o passiva, uso de materiais com maior poder de combust?o e adapta??es diversas decorrente dos usos que a edifica??o apresentou ao longo de seu tempo. Ap?s esta an?lise de risco ser? desenvolvido tanto o anteprojeto arquitet?nico como o projeto b?sico de combate contra inc?ndio, em conson?ncia com as interfer?ncias e demandas geradas pela quest?o da seguran?a contra inc?ndio e p?nico na edifica??o de interesse patrimonial.

Diversos artefatos precisam ser criados durante o processo de desenvolvimento de software. Esses artefatos incluem diagramas, documentos do projeto, modelos UML, código fonte, testes, entre outros. No entanto, criar alguns desses artefatos pode demandar muito tempo e recursos. A geração de documentos, por exemplo, é uma tarefa onerosa e não indicada pela maioria dos processos ágeis. Manter documentos atualizados é algo dispendioso, uma vez que é necessário refletir cada mudança do código nos artefatos relacionados. Este trabalho apresenta uma abordagem que consiste no reuso de testes funcionais para geração semiautomática de diversos artefatos no desenvolvimento de software. Essa abordagem, denominada Desenvolvimento Totalmente Dirigido por Teste, visa contribuir para uma redução de custos e aumento da produtividade no processo de desenvolvimento. Mesmo possuindo uma abrangência maior, o foco deste trabalho é apresentar o uso dessa ideia para semiautomação do relatório de alteração de software, a partir do protótipo da ferramenta TChangeReport. É apresentado também o TWork, um arcabouço desenvolvido para servir de base para a construção das ferramenta desse projeto. E, por fim, é relatado um estudo experimental, realizado em ambiente acadêmico, e uma aplicação do método e da ferramenta em ambiente industrial feitos com o intuito de avaliar se a ferramenta TChangeReport pode reduzir o esforço na criação do relatório de alteração e ainda manter qualidade compatível com a geração manual

Esse trabalho envolve pesquisas recentes que levantam prescri??es t?cnicas para se projetar resid?ncias unifamiliares de alto padr?o, suprindo uma lacuna sustent?vel espec?fica em se absorver, compreender e inserir alguns desses conceitos complementares ?s formas tradicionais de se habitar, aqui destacado como algo que sucedeu o ato de projetar e construir. O surgimento de uma demanda de um projeto a ser confeccionado na cidade de Serra de S?o Bento, a 130 km de Natal-RN trouxe ao autor a oportunidade de inserir um olhar mais focado ?s quest?es ambientais relativas a uma obra dessa natureza, fazendo-o levar aos propriet?rios um debate mais minucioso na forma??o dos valores do programa de necessidades e na compreens?o do lugar a ser projetado. O terreno ?rido, inclinado, pedregoso e distante de um centro urbano, exigia uma proposta adaptada ao local, com materiais n?o convencionais, mais leves e menos artesanais, que mitigassem os impactos de uma resid?ncia sobre aquele meio e sobre o seu futuro consumo de ?gua e energia el?trica. Batizada de Casa Camelo, a proposta d? ?nfase ? total autossufici?ncia frente ?s concession?rias locais desses dois insumos, seja por meio da capta??o pluvial alternativa com reuso de ?gua ou pela gera??o renov?vel de energia e?lica ou fotovoltaica, al?m da ado??o de uma solu??o que leva em conta as estrat?gias bioclim?ticas sugeridas ao microclima estudado para que, de forma passiva, pud?ssemos atingir a satisfa??o quanto ao conforto t?rmico e ac?stico do projeto.
This work involves recent research that raise technical requirements to design singlefamily homes to a high standard, providing a specific sustainable gap to absorb, understand and enter some of these complementary concepts to traditional ways of live, with emphasis in the act to design and build. The emergence of a demand for a project to be made in the city of Serra de S?o Bento, 130 km from Natal, Brazil brought the author the opportunity to enter a more focused look at environmental issues related to a work of this nature, talking to the owners about a more thorough debate on the formation of values needs program and understanding the place to be designed. The arid terrain, sloping, rocky and far from the urban center, required a proposal adapted to the site, with unconventional, lighter and less craft materials that mitigate the impact of a residence on one half and on its future water consumption and electricity. Baptized House Camel, the proposal emphasizes the full self-sufficiency in the face of local utilities of these two inputs, either through rainwater capture alternative water reuse or for renewable generation of wind or photovoltaics, and to adopt a solution that takes into account bioclimatic strategies suggested the microclimate studied so that passively, we could achieve satisfaction with the thermal and acoustic comfort of the project.

Keywords：Landfill, activation and reuse Due to the less consideration about the need of land reusing, there’s no efficient use and activation of land resource after landfill demolition.。 In the past couple years, government actively pressed ahead the policy about resource reuse to reach the goal which is zero waste. Therefore, it’s more important in Taiwan where is densely populated to re-consider environmental characteristics of the land after landfill demolition and evaluate feasibility about the land reusing. In the early time of Taiwan, people paid no attention to health and technique of garbage disposal. What they cared about was the place like wasteland or river highland beach where far from city or residential area to dump rubbish. Later, with increasing awareness of environmental protection, people raise the level of environmental issue from the pollution of rubbish dumping to the health of landfill, and then become the way of refuse disposal since the lack of land. Nowadays, the government rely mainly on incineration and landfill supplemented as the direction of refuse disposal. As mentioned above, the object of study is the environmental monitoring results during the closure and demolition of site A, and discuss the influence of environment surrounding site A by analyzing environmental characteristics of site A and the results of long-term monitoring around, hoping that we can take this study as a reference concerning the activation of follow-up landfill. The key factor that the process of activation do smoothly or not is the removal of outcome after sieve analysis. However, County and city government currently generally face difficulty of lack of capacity and quantity about landfill within the jurisdiction. Therefore, the key point to activation of landfill is finally where the product to go after sieve analysing. The research in which we concentreate on environmental monitoring results under construction do not discover any severe source of pollution and there is some abnormal data during environmental monitoring that is just numerical change in short period of time and mean impossible to be polluted seriously. In the coming plan of activation,we can make pollution prevention under construction under control, and reach the goal that is activation, land reuse , space optimization and reducing environmentl potential source of pollution by closing landfill and remove rubbish.

The software development continues to become more competitive and demanding, placing pressure on developers. Changes in the international political climate have resulted in shrinking military budgets, putting developers of defence software under further pressure. At present, systematic reuse is probably the most realistic way of addressing this pressure by improving software development productivity and quality. Software product line (SPL) engineering provides a comprehensive approach to systematic software reuse and is becoming widely accepted.
The focus of this interpretive case study was ground station software development in a small multidisciplinary project-centric company which produces avionics systems for military aircraft. The purpose of the study was to investigate the potential implementation of systematic software reuse in the company.
The study consisted of three phases, a literature study, a contextualisation and a set of field interviews, and used elements of the Carnegie-Mellon Software Engineering Institute (SEI) Product Line Practice Framework to examine the suitability of SPL engineering for the company.
The findings of the study highlight the potential challenges that SPL engineering poses for the company, and emphasise how the company's project-centric structure could impede its implementation of systematic software reuse.Computing

A clinic is a uniquely positioned function in a community. It can become the heart of an area, integrating a large range of functions with and for the public. Whether it be through interactions with business, police, artists or the community, all parties can benefit from the interactions. A redeveloping inner city area, especially one undergoing increasing levels of social uprooting, such as New Doornfontein, can benefit greatly from the community reinforcement and rebuilding that a healthcare facility can provide. With the negative impact of gentrification visible, and a drive towards potential social unsustainability in the area, a need for a centralised community driven scheme is apparent. The brief of the project called for a socially sustainable adaptive reuse healthcare-based scheme situated on a series of industrial sites in New Doornfontein. The area has been used by industry for 85 years, where currently businesses continue to operate. However, New Doornfontein has been undergoing a change, with existing industry becoming run down and abandoned, and the expansion of the new Maboneng phase taking over. Residential density is increasing, creating a demand for more social-based facilities such as healthcare and education.

As Taiwan’s economy boomed and the standard of living of its population improved at a sustained pace, luring a large number of people into housing projects in its cities, demand for household running water in urban areas builds up increasingly. Confronting with a rapidly changing global weather and less promising exploration of water resources, sufficient supply of running water to households in cities is at stake. A review on the Tamhai New City Project suggests that the overall space of it has increased 8 times compared to its original plan and the population grew 30 times as many, demanding a water supply 40 times the original volume. Scarce is the water resource; the exploration plan would inevitably mean extra load to the Feicui Dam, which may not successfully serve the neighboring area to the Tamhai New City Project. To conduct this study, after gathering reference literature of updated running water consumption and water recycling in the cities of Taiwan and overseas, we have decided to opt for the urban household and water recycling system as a practical way to seek alternative water resources. The practice would include the recycling technology for household utility water and full deployment of water-saving devices in housing projects. Eventually, the water recycling system for urban households on the Tamhai New City Project indicates that, by reducing the demand for running water by 27% of the overall consumption of 410 liters/(day*person) of the Tamhai New City Project, the Feicui Dam would save 12,000,000 tons of water each year, at 0.3 of the overall capacity of the dam in its early stage. Estimates of physical projects suggest that the household running water recycling system is constructive in lower the demand and when widely implemented in urban households, we would be able to have water resources in permanent management and the standard of living of the population, quality of the environment and the community and the overall economy would keep on developing. As successful water recycling is key to permanent water resources, major efforts are expected to make urban household environments ecological, energy-effective, waste-effective and healthy in the process of perpetual development.

The aim of this study is to confirm various factors, mainly by applying literature review and collection together with the Fuzzy Delphi Method, FDM. Then the Analytical Hierarchy Process, AHP is successively put in use to firmly establish the weight and consistency of the factors, which accordingly assists with the development of a more objective and precise assessment scale of fire prevention management for the reuse of historic buildings and monuments. Furthermore, to verify the importance of fire prevention measures adopted during 2017 National Museum of History disaster prevention drill in accordance with the acquired weight data. The conclusion of the research, through the analysis of FDM and AHP, the top five that experts and scholars place importance on are "daily fire prevention management and facility inspections ", " fire safety management law system", "fire resistant material design", "regular rescue education /drills", and "disaster prevention measures under construction " in terms of the key indicators of fire prevention management for the reuse of historic buildings and monuments. The daily fire prevention management and fireproofing inspection: in order to strengthen the management of fire prevention in normal times, the practice of periodic inspections and improvements of various types of on-site hazardous factors should rely mainly on the conformation of spatial characters and imagery. In the meantime, fire safety management law system: It is the basic legal source of Taiwan’s fire disaster relief system, and its content clearly defines the overall direction of Taiwan’s fire administrative governance. Secondly, the items of "fire resistant material design, regular rescue education /drills and disaster prevention measures under construction are also essential elements for the evaluation of the fire prevention management project for the reuse of historic buildings and monuments. All of these are in line with the core concept of protecting lives and safeguarding assets, starting from offering an environment without fire safety concerns for places like historic buildings and monuments.

La ricerca si occupa delle trasformazioni degli edifici storici in spazi espositivi permanenti, quindi del dialogo che intercorre in queste operazioni tra restauro, riuso e museografia.
L'importanza di attribuire una funzione al costruito storico ne assicura una conservazione e una re-immissione nella realtà contemporanea; una valorizzazione che deve essere compatibile, ovvero che metta al primo posto la qualità materiale del bene, le sue caratteristiche fisiche, tipologiche e formali. E' in questo scenario che si colloca il riuso culturale attuale, che assegna al museo un ruolo fondamentale nella promozione dello sviluppo sostenibile, in quanto strumento di salvaguardia del patrimonio culturale materiale e immateriale, mobile e immobile. E allora questa ricerca parte da alcune necessarie premesse: analizzare come il tema del riuso museale si sia nutrito nel tempo delle elaborazioni teoriche dei tre termini, con la volontà di tratteggiare gli scenari attuali della tematica.
Nella prima parte vedremo quindi, in parallelo, come cresce la consapevolezza dell'importanza che un edificio ospiti una determinata funzione e della compatibilità degli interventi realizzati a questo proposito con la fabbrica storica.
Nella seconda parte si entra nella contemporaneità. La convergenza delle operazioni di conservazione e progetto del nuovo all'interno dello sviluppo teorico del restauro, nonché la necessità di una tutela attiva del patrimonio culturale che vede nell'istituzione museale un presidio territoriale, si raffronta con i profondi mutamenti che hanno investito l'istituzione museale negli ultimi anni. E quindi si sceglie di partire proprio da questi mutamenti per individuare tre aree tematiche - relative alla spazialità del museo, alle nuove funzioni e identità urbana e ai modi di costruire una narrazione interna - da riportare nello studio delle esperienze di riuso museale attuale, alcune delle più importanti realizzazioni europee dell'ultimo ventennio.
Le argomentazioni saranno sostenute, poi, dallo studio di due casi studio significativi, il Neues Museum di Berlino e il Museo della Montagna nel Forte di Bard, scelti per la componente critica, conservativa e creativa dei loro restauri e per la riconosciuta efficacia del loro programma museale.
Il quadro d'insieme che si tratteggia, a partire proprio dai cambiamenti delle tematiche individuate, permetterà alla fine di definire le tendenze progettuali in atto in questo fenomeno sempre più in ascesa e di tratteggiarne le linee di sviluppo.
-------- (english text) The research deals with the transformation of historical buildings into permanent exhibition spaces, and therefore deals with the dialogue that takes place in these operations between restoration, reuse and museography.
The importance of assigning a function to historical buildings ensures their conservation and re-entry into contemporary reality; an enhancement that must be compatible, that is giving priority to the material quality of the asset, its physical, typological and formal characteristics. The current cultural reuse is therefore placed in this scenario, which assigns the museum a fundamental role in the promotion of sustainable development, as a means of safeguarding the tangible and intangible cultural heritage. And so this research starts from some necessary premises: analyze how the theme of museum reuse has nourished over time the theoretical elaborations of the three terms, with the will to outline the current scenarios of the theme.
In the first part we will see therefore, in parallel, how the awareness of the importance that a building hosts a specific function grows and of the compatibility of the actions realized in this regard with the historical factory.
In the second part we enter the contemporaneity. The convergence of the conservation project and the design of new architecture within the theoretical development of the restoration, as well as the necessity of an active protection of the cultural heritage that sees in the museum institution a territorial garrison, is compared with the deep changes that have invested the museum institution in recent years. And so we choose to start from these changes to identify three thematic areas - related to the museum's spatiality, to new urban functions and identity and to ways of creating an internal narration - to be reported in the study of the experiences of current museum reuse, some of the most important European achievements of the last twenty years.
The arguments will be supported, then, by the study of two significant case studies, the Neues Museum in Berlin and the Mountain Museum in the Fort of Bard, chosen for the critical, conservative and creative component of their restoration project and for the recognized effectiveness of their museum programme.
The overall picture that is drawn, starting from the changes in the issues identified, will ultimately define the design trends in progress in this increasingly rising phenomenon and outline the lines of development.

Participatory Action Research (PAR) was carried out to improve educational practices and environmental sustainability in an International School in Vietnam by undertaking two cycles of PAR to determine how the school community could use paper on a more sustainable basis. The methodology included sorting paper and encouraging the reuse of paper. Practices related to computer printing, report writing and newsletter production were also investigated. Changes in the school community, in terms of accepting responsibility and demonstrating changed attitudes and behaviours, were measured.
The school community demonstrated greater awareness, increased responsibility and more action competence. Critical awareness of unsustainable practices increased. Individuals were able to effect change, but it is recommended that such actions should be institutionalised for such changes to be sustainable. Limitations and recommendations emphasise the need for continuing PAR to implement sustainability.Educational Studies

With the passage of Executive Orders 12902 and 13123, the U.S. Navy has been forced to develop water conservation programs and evaluate how water is used at each of its installations. The central goal of these orders is to reduce potable water consumption at federal facilities. Water reuse and recycling has been listed as a best management practice for achieving this goal. However, only a handful of Navy facilities have implemented water reuse projects to date. One of the reasons for this phenomenon is the lack of comprehensive guidance for planning and executing water reuse projects. Consequently, very few Navy facility and energy managers have experience or knowledge regarding water reuse applications. This paper addresses the key factors that must be considered when attempting to execute water reuse projects on Navy installations. Specifically, the following areas are examined: (1) scope and requirements of the U.S. Navy Water Conservation Program, (2) Federal, state, and local regulations, guidance, and other legal issues relating to water reuse, (3) treatment processes used to remove contaminants in order to meet process or regulatory requirements, (4) potential water reuse applications, (5) water storage, (6) risk management, (7) economic considerations, and (8) the project implementation process.

Reutilization means to change the original purposes or the process of lasting reuse function in architecture’s life cycle. The purpose is to prevent historical buildings from destroy or leave unused. The project of historical buildings’ reutilization often cooperates by teams from different background to design its processes. Though different participants exchange large designing data and communicate to obtain coordination and consistency in designing results. Therefore, the key factor of the project success is depend on process design and the way of communicate. This study focuses on optimizing and improving the interactions among design activities of historic building renovation as well as establishing and verifying scheduling system analysis and modules. We tried to understand the steps taken by consultants during the design and planning process of historic building renovation through literatures and break down the processes according to Design Structure Matrix. By combining matrix and traditional tear method, we reduce mutual coupling in process design and offer problem solving that may occur. We use analysis model in practical cases to confirm the capable of process redesign, in order to achieve the purpose.

Organizations implement Knowledge Management Systems (KMS) to maximize the effectiveness and reuse of knowledge assets in order to increase productivity and profitability. Thus, effective project management can place great demands on knowledge management solutions that can support and streamline the execution of project-related tasks. To this end, the proposed research project will acquire, store, and organize project context information through a knowledge engineering process. Because projects are usually long-term, each type of project has several decision points, i.e., milestones or project status points. Therefore, how to accumulate and disseminate task-related knowledge items at specific points of a project based on the observations of pilot research models is an issue well worth studying. This research project will investigate the issues related to the deployment of a platform that enables the capture and reuse exchange of project-specific information based on the context. Specifically, the research areas to be addressed by the work are as follows: (1) analyzing the type of project and its associated attributes and defining general, but essential, project context information based on the project context model; (2) the use of text mining techniques to extract knowledge items needed by workers in different context of each project; (3) the use of data mining techniques to discover various types of project-specific knowledge, which will then be used to discover the relationships between various types of project-specific knowledge. The proposed model enables effective knowledge supply and retrieval based on the work context to support effective knowledge reuse.

To build large municipal refuse incineration plants is one of the major national environmental policies to solve the deteriorating waste disposal situation. However, the decision-maker has been putting too much emphasis on the technical and economic factors to integrate landscape into their planning. In addition, the general public are becoming increasingly conscious of their invested right to a better living environment.The growing landscape problems caused by such noxious facilities as incineration plants constructed across the island are now cropping up with the passage of time. These in turn are eliciting chorus protests from residents living within thimmediate influence of the islandwide incineration plants. This research is an attempt, based on a case study on Taichung Incineration Plant, to bring forth two landscape improvement directions－sight-hiding and image-intensifying－ as well as nine landscape improvement measures and to offer an insight, on the basis of their different character, backgrounds, and environmental attitudes, into what brings about the differences in those affected residents'' preferences for these particular improvement measures ( in Wen-san-li, Tsun-sa-li, Tsun-an-li neighborhoods). This research has shown that the polled residents basically share a consistent positive attitude toward the current waste disposal problems, the refuse incineration policies , and the functions of the incineration plants, yet there exists conspicuous divergence in the attitude of the three investigated neighborhoods toward the installation of incineration plants near their living quarters( polling questions on landscape, local customs, life quality, and so on). Those who live in Wen-san-li take a more csistently favorable attitude toward the installation; those who live Tsun-an-li take a more consistently reserved attitude; those who in Tsun-sa-li are more divergent in their opinions. Analysis also shows that all the polled residents can be conveniently classified into five opinion groups: those who insist on rally general support before the installation; those who ask for fair and professional evaluation on the effect of the installation on the landscape before carrying it out; those who are just too anxus to give any definite opinion; those who feel sympathy for the necessity of installing incineration plants; those who are solely concerned about the effect of the installation on life quality. Which group each of the polled residents falls into is obviously related to their age, occupation, education level, and the length of their residence. As for the above-presentioned nine improvement measures, analysis shows that the preference of those polled for any particular measure is also closely associated withheir occupation, education level, their own residence neighborhood, the length of their residence, as well as which attitude group they fall into.
