Acoustic travel-time tomography (ATOM) determines the distribution of the temperature in a propagation medium by measuring the travel-time of acoustic signals between transmitters and receivers. To employ ATOM for indoor climate measurements, the impulse responses have been measured in the climate chamber lab of the Bauhaus-University Weimar and compared with the theoretical results of its image source model (ISM). A challenging task is distinguishing the reflections of interest in the reflectogram when the sound rays have similar travel-times. This paper presents a numerical method to address this problem by finding optimal positions of transmitter and receiver, since they have a direct impact on the distribution of travel times. These optimal positions have the minimum number of simultaneous arrival time within a threshold level. Moreover, for the tomographic reconstruction, when some of the voxels remain empty of sound-rays, it leads to inaccurate determination of the air temperature within those voxels. Based on the presented numerical method, the number of empty tomographic voxels are minimized to ensure the best sound-ray coverage of the room. Subsequently, a spatial temperature distribution is estimated by simultaneous iterative reconstruction technique (SIRT). The experimental set-up in the climate chamber verifies the simulation results.
The capitalization of ‘certified’ sustainable building sector will be investigated over the power theory of value approach of Jonathan Nitzan and Shimshon Bichler. The study will be initiated by questioning why the environment problems are one of the first items on the agenda and by sharing the ideas of scholars who approaches the subject skeptically, because the predominant literature underlying the necessity and prominence of the topic is already well-known and adapted by the majority. Over the theory developed by Nitzan and Bichler, the concepts of capitalization, strategic sabotage, power, legitimacy, and obedience will be discussed. The hypothesis of “the absentee owners of the construction sector, holding the whip hand and capitalizing the ecology, control the growth and the creativity of green building production and make it carbon-dependent, in order to increase their profit margin” will be questioned. To strengthen the arguments in the hypothesis, the factors, the institutional arrangements, value measurement methods, which affect directly the net present value, will be investigated both in corporation and in building scale in detail, because net present value/ capitalization is asserted as the most important criteria by Nitzan and Bichler to make the investment decisions in the capitalist economic system. To trace the implications of power and the strategic sabotage that power caused, as the empirical dimension of this dissertation, an interface exploring the correlational ties between the climate responsive architecture and the ever changing political, economical, and social contexts and building economics praxis by decades will be developed and the expert interviews will be conducted with the design teams and the appraisers.
A categorical perspective towards aerodynamic models for aeroelastic analyses of bridge decks
(2019)
Reliable modelling in structural engineering is crucial for the serviceability and safety of structures. A huge variety of aerodynamic models for aeroelastic analyses of bridges poses natural questions on their complexity and thus, quality. Moreover, a direct comparison of aerodynamic models is typically either not possible or senseless, as the models can be based on very different physical assumptions. Therefore, to address the question of principal comparability and complexity of models, a more abstract approach, accounting for the effect of basic physical assumptions, is necessary.
This paper presents an application of a recently introduced category theory-based modelling approach to a diverse set of models from bridge aerodynamics. Initially, the categorical approach is extended to allow an adequate description of aerodynamic models. Complexity of the selected aerodynamic models is evaluated, based on which model comparability is established. Finally, the utility of the approach for model comparison and characterisation is demonstrated on an illustrative example from bridge aeroelasticity. The outcome of this study is intended to serve as an alternative framework for model comparison and impact future model assessment studies of mathematical models for engineering applications.
Recent years have seen a gradual shift in focus of international policies from a national and regional perspective to that of cities, a shift which is closely related to the rapid urbanization of developing countries. As revealed in the 2011 Revision of the World Urbanization Prospects published by the United Nations, 51% of the global population (approximately 3.6 billion people) lives in cities. The report predicts that by 2050, the world’s urban population will increase by 2.3 billion, making up 68% of the population. The growth of urbanization in the next few decades is expected to primarily come from developing countries, one third of which will be in China and India.
With rapid urbanization and the ongoing growth of mega cities, cities must become increasingly resilient and intelligent to cope with numerous challenges and crises like droughts and floods arising from extreme climate, destruction brought by severe natural disasters, and aggregated social contradictions resulting from economic crises. All cities face the urban development dynamics and uncertainties arising from these problems. Under such circumstances, cities are considered the critical path from crisis to prosperity, so scholars and organizations have proposed the construction of “resilient cities.” On the one hand, this theory emphasizes cities’ defenses and buffering capacity against disasters, crises and uncertainties, as well as recovery after destruction; on the other hand, it highlights the learning capacity of urban systems, identification of opportunities amid challenges, and maintenance of development vitality. Some scholars even believe that urban resilience is a powerful supplement to sustainable development. Hence, resilience assessment has become the latest and most important perspective for evaluating the development and crisis defense capacity of cities.
Rather than a general abstract concept, urban resilience is a comprehensive measurement of a city’s level of development. The dynamic development of problems is reflected through quantitative indicators and appraisal systems not only from the perspective of academic research, but also governmental policy, so as to scientifically guide development, and measure and compare cities’ development levels. Although international scholars have proposed
quantitative methods for urban resilience assessment, they are however insufficiently systematic and regionally adaptive for China’s current urban development needs. On the basis of comparative study on European and North American resilient city theories, therefore, this paper puts forwards a theoretical framework for resilient city systems consistent with China’s national conditions in light of economic development pressure, natural resource depletion, pollution, and other salient development crises in China. The key factors influencing urban resilience are taken into full consideration; expert appraisal is conducted based on the Delphi Method and the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to design an extensible and updatable resilient city evaluation system which is sufficiently systematic, geographically adaptable, and sustainable for China’s current urban development needs. Finally, Changsha is taken as the main case for empirical study on comprehensive evaluation of similar cities in Central China to improve the indicator system.
Die Dissertation „Hey! I’m an Angel! Zum Verhältnis von Medium, Subjekt und Wirklichkeit in Eija-Liisa Ahtilas Videoinstallationen“ untersucht in der Hauptsache vier zentrale Videoinstallationen Ahtilas aus den Jahren 1995 bis 2014. Grundlegend ist die These, dass Ahtilas Arbeiten nicht, wie bisher angenommen, in den Kontext einer medien-, erkenntnis- und subjektkritischen Videokunst einzuordnen sind. Stattdessen werden sie als mediale Vehikel intersubjektiv geprägter Wirklichkeitserfahrungen für das Subjekt bereitgestellt: Entgegen dem aktuellen Forschungsstand arbeitet sich Ahtila nicht an der Kritik des Mediums Film/Video ab, das einen wirklichkeitsverfälschenden oder -ersetzenden Einfluss auf das manipulierte Subjekt nimmt. Vielmehr nutzt die Künstlerin das Potenzial des Mediums Film/Video aus, um einem relativ stabilen Subjekt die Wirklichkeitserfahrungen Anderer zu öffnen und auf diese Weise seinen Erfahrungshorizont zu erweitern.
Der systematische Schwerpunkt der Arbeit liegt erstens darauf, ein sich durch Ahtilas bisheriges Schaffen ziehendes ‚Ziel‘ der Integration der Betrachterin in eine intersubjektive Erfahrungssphäre nachvollziehbar zu machen. Hierfür wird insbesondere eine Perspektive auf die frühen Arbeiten entwickelt, in der die Brüche in Ahtila Arbeiten integrative statt distanzierende Wirkung haben. Zweitens wird in eingehenden Analysen der Wandel verständlich, der sich zwischen Ahtilas früher Schaffensphase (1995 – 2002) und der aktuellen Schaffensphase (seit 2010) hinsichtlich der Art und Weise vollzieht, wie diese Integration gelingt. Es zeigt sich, dass der Einstieg in die intersubjektiv geprägten Erfahrungssphären in der frühen Phase ästhetisch konstituiert ist. Mit der aktuellen Schaffensphase werden hingegen alltägliche Formen der Empathie und Mimesis zentral, sowie deren leibliche Konsequenzen für die Betrachterin. Drittens wird eine zunehmende pragmatische Tendenz darin deutlich, die Integration der Betrachterin in die Erfahrungen Anderer zu ermöglichen. Dies wird vor dem Hintergrund eines allgemeinen pragmatischen Zuges aktueller zeitgeistiger Bewegungen erläutert. Viertens wird gezeigt, dass Ahtilas Arbeiten auf der Annahme einer Kontinuität in gewisser Hinsicht von der außerfilmischen Wirklichkeit in die filmische Fiktion hinein basieren, sowie auf dem Verständnis filmischer Fiktionen als virtuelle Weltfassungen. Ahtila fragt auf der Grundlage dieses Verständnisses filmischer Fiktion nicht nach der Wahrheit dieser Fiktion als These über die Wirklichkeit, wie es dem Forschungskanon über die Künstlerin zu entnehmen ist. Sondern nach der Wirksamkeit der filmischen Fiktion für die Wirklichkeit.
