A comparative study for human aspects in acclimatization of adobe vernacular architecture. A case from Denmark and Egypt

Today’s architecture swarms with concepts of energy and resource efficient buildings. In contrast, vernacular buildings are characterized by low-tech climatic responsive strategies and by their inhabitants’ resource and energy savings practices during construction and operation of their dwellings. That makes vernacular buildings highly relevant to resource efficiency in contemporary building resea

Promoting Professional Development Through Communities of Practice – an Example of Educational Development in Sweden

This chapter explores the idea of community of practice in relation to Swedish educational development. Two authentic cases illustrate how faculty developers work together as a CoP to promote change within universities. The two cases and their results are scrutinized in relation to key features of CoP, where one case arguably came out stronger as a CoP mainly in terms of identity building. The tex

Time Domain Characterization of Circular Polarization Selective Structures

This paper investigates how typical frequency domain concepts such as circular polarization and axial ratio can be given a useful meaning in the time domain. The relationship between the linear polarizations of a circularly polarized time dependent signal is shown to be the Hilbert transform, and the instantaneous axial ratio can be computed from envelope functions, obtained from corresponding ana

Use of Casual Loop Diagrams and Systems Analysis to Explore Alternative Climate Change Adaptation Strategies in Seyhan River Basin, Turkey

Within a UN Joint Programme titled “Enhancing the Capacity of Turkey to Adapt to Climate Change” a systems approach workshop was carried out in Adana, Turkey with broad stakeholder participation. The participants applied systems thinking approach, causal loop diagramming methodology and systems analysis to examine the potential impacts of projected climatic changes on natural ecosystems and socio-

Neuroendocrine regulatory mechanisms in the choroid plexus-cerebrospinal fluid system

The CSF is often regarded as merely a mechanical support for the brain, as well as an unspecific sink for waste products from the CNS. New methodology in receptor autoradiography, immunohistochemistry and molecular biology has revealed the presence of many different neuroendocrine substances or their corresponding receptors in the main CSF-forming structure, the choroid plexus. Both older research

Modulations in B8-type Intermetallics

The B8-type regions of the Mn-Sn and Cu-In systems have been investigated by means of electron and X-ray diffraction. The importance of the combination of these techniques in the study of B8-type phases is pointed out. In addition to the B8-type phases an alloy with a quasicrystal approximant structure has been studied. In the Mn-Sn system at least three B8-type phases exist. An X-ray powder patt
