Design concepts in architecture: the porosity paradigm Sotirios D. Kotsopoulos 129 Franklin Street‚ # 203‚ Cambridge‚ Massachusetts 02139‚ USA; e-mail: skots@alum.mit.edu Abstract: Presented is a paradigm of how a design concept can be converted into a system of production rules to generate designs. The rules are expressed by the means of shape grammar formalism. The paradigm demonstrates how porosity a concept transferred from biology‚ medicine and organic chemistry was implemented by architect

Introduction Throughout the completion of my geography controlled coursework I am going to investigate the Collin River and how its river features change as we go downstream. Aims Through the completion of this piece of coursework I aim to measure the cross-sectional area of the Collin River at five points along the river’s course. I aim to measure the amount of discharge along the river’s course. I aim to notice how the bed load changes by size and shape as we go downstream. Theoretical Context

Uncontrolled transposition is deleterious to the cell and thus‚ the frequency of transposition is generally kept to a minimum by various regulatory mechanisms. Describe the FOUR ways that transposition is controlled. Transposition is the movement of a particular fragment of DNA from one part of a genome to another. A transposon is a segment of DNA which is capable of moving from a specific location on a DNA molecule to another location on the same or different molecule. For this reason‚ it is

Computer programming (often shortened to programming) is a process that leads from an original formulation of a computing problem to executable programs. It involves activities such as analysis‚ understanding‚ thinking‚ and generically solving such problems resulting in an algorithm‚ verification of requirements of the algorithm including its correctness and its resource consumption‚ implementation (commonly referred to as coding[1][2]) of the algorithm in a target programming language. Source code is

History of Computers ENG 121 The volume and use of computers in the world are so great‚ they have become difficult to ignore anymore. Computers appear to us in so many ways that many times‚ we fail to see them as they actually are. People associated with a computer when they purchased their morning coffee at the vending machine. As they drove themselves to work‚ the traffic lights that so often hampered us are controlled by computers in an attempt to speed the journey. Accept it or not‚ the computer

JOB DESIGN 1. Introduction Job design theory is an important concept in business management. The way a job is designed affects employee work performance. It is crucial that organizations create an environment where workers are motivated by jobs in which they feel challenged but at the same time‚ their work goes with the objectives of the company. Designing jobs properly will cause a positive impact on motivation‚ performance‚ and job satisfaction on those who perform them (Moorhead and Griffin‚

EVOUTION OF COMPUTERS The evolution of electronic computers over a period of time can be traced effectively dividing this period into various generations. Each generation is characterized by a major technological development that fundamentally changed the way computers operated. These helped to develop smaller‚ cheaper‚ powerful‚ efficient and reliable devices. Today‚ life has become indispensable without a computer. You find computerization in almost every sphere and industry. Computer evolution
