In rural places that sit at the uneasy crossroads between ‘traditional’ natural resource-based production and ‘new’ economies cultures of aesthetic landscape ‘consumption’, ideas become increasingly important contested. This paper examines one such conflict in Nevada County, California - a former mining ranching community Sierra has experienced rapid ‘exurban’ in-migration gentrification. In-migrants brought with them particular ‘aesthetic’ or ‘consumption’ views long-time residents...
Initially, the paper describes methods currently used for strength and erosion resistance testing of earth blocks. Following this, an experimental study undertaken to assess influence test procedure specimen geometry on characteristics is presented. Cement stabilized pressed blocks were fabricated using different blended soils compacted a constant volume manual press. The effects compressive are described aspect ratio correction factors unconfined unit outlined. Proposals unified approach...
Experiments were carried out according to the Nordtest protocol study moisture buffer potential of hemp-lime walls with a range different internal linings and surface treatments. It was observed that value 'Excellent' when inner exposed. values also obtained for lime plaster. All other assemblies demonstrated 'Good' value. Moisture assemblies, after application paint on upper surfaces, determined. synthetic pigment based trade could reduce performance assembly consisting lime-plaster from...
Many thousands of years after its development, unburnt earth block masonry continues to offer an environmentally sustainable and cost-effective alternative other conventional wall building materials, such as concrete blocks clay fired bricks, in both developing developed countries. However, is a brittle material with low tensile strength, consequence cracks response external actions or restrained shrinkage are often observed. Ductility strength may be improved by adding binders natural...
Rammed earth walls are formed by compacting subsoil in thin layers inside temporary supporting formwork. An ancient form of construction, rammed has recent years, together with other building methods, been increasingly used structurally a range contemporary buildings many countries around the world. Though current structural design procedures for walls, including earth, general use provisions based on masonry standards, this approach never satisfactorily validated. This paper presents...
We pose the problem of network discovery which involves simplifying spatio-temporal data into cohesive regions (nodes) and relationships between those (edges). Such problems naturally exist in fMRI scans human subjects. These consist activations thousands voxels over time with aim to simplify them underlying cognitive being used. propose supervised semi-supervised variations this postulate a constrained tensor decomposition formulation corresponding alternating least squares solver that is...
Combat military and civilian law enforcement personnel may be exposed to repetitive low-intensity blast events during training operations. Persons who use explosives gain entry (i.e., breach) into buildings are known as "breachers" or dynamic personnel. Breachers operate under the guidance of established safety protocols, but despite these precautions, breachers low-level throughout their careers frequently report performance deficits symptoms healthcare providers. Although little is about...
