This article aims to understand patient wellbeing and satisfaction qualify the current guidelines for application of art in hospitals. Employing anthropological methods, we focus on interactional aspects health interventions. A user-oriented study ranked 20 paintings, followed by an experiment using paintings dayroom five medical wards. Fieldwork was done over a two-week period. During first week, dayrooms were configured without presence second week with artworks. Semi-structured...
The replacement of distance-based thresholds with time-based that account for intruder performance is a necessary step in developing useful sense-and-avoid system to be integrated into the national airspace system. current conservative used many systems on board UAS aircraft will either not adequately reduced maneuvering time when encountering high-speed or require such large accommodate them mission capability compromised. Using certain worst case assumptions regarding an intruder,...
This paper focuses on how smart technologies integrated in a one-family home, and particularly window, offer unique challenges opportunities for designing buildings with the best possible environments people nature. Toward an interdisciplinary multidimensional approach, we address interaction between daylight defined technical terms aesthetic, architectural terms. Through field tests of Danish carbon-neutral home analysis five key design parameters, explore contradictions potentials...
One of the disadvantages Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) communications protocol is its vulnerability to a number security attacks since it broadcasts information flying aircraft carrying device over unencrypted datalink. As U.S. Federal Aviation Administration has mandated use ADS-B by 2020, solid, reliable solutions are needed secure data exchange. The first step in this regard investigating and their impacts on air traffic. Therefore, paper, we describe preliminary work...
A flight tested Right-of-Way (RoW) compliant algorithm has been developed as part of ongoing research efforts in the development Airborne Sense and Avoid (ABSAA) technologies by University North Dakota Unmanned Aircraft Systems Engineering (UASE) team. This paper presents results development, implementation, testing a RoW during summer 2011 restricted airspace using combination varying intercept angles for cases single intruder dual intruders. These tests yielded positive demonstrating...
A terrain avoidance extension based primarily on the requirements of Terrain Awareness and Warning Systems (TAWS) using US Geological Survey data was recently integrated into an autonomous airborne sense avoid system (ABSAA) at University North Dakota’s Unmanned Aircraft Engineering team (UASE). Given native capabilities a Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast (ADS-B) transceiver, robust component is apt for ABSAA. This successfully flight tested in August 2011, demonstrating ability to...
Focusing on the interactional aspects of art in health interventions, we qualify guidelines for hospitals. Patients this user-oriented study primarily ranked items to favor figurative painted light colors; however both and abstract dark colors figured among highest ratings. The role spatial context, motif, color shapes seems have an effect patients' experience a hospital stay. This article draws attention application visual as source stimulus healing—and means affect patient satisfaction
The digital design tools used by architects and engineers today are very useful with respect to their specific fields of aesthetical or technical evaluation.It is not yet possible fully use the potential computer in process, as there no well functioning interplay between two types tools.This paper therefore looks at integration a prototype for tool which allows aesthetics evaluation, same time gives architect instant feedback on ideas already initial sketching phase.The aim research look...
Abstract Since independence in 1991, Slovenian society has sought models for education the West. As Slovenia, schools of architecture situated other countries rapid social transformation are offered opportunity to critically review examples virtual design studio (VDS). This article investigates such within concepts “identity” and “place.” These developed include a consideration identity places studios examine implications globalization on architectural education. In conclusion, we develop an...
This paper describes means to enhance projects where local communities collaborate in the design process through information and communication technologies (ICTs).Recent examples of neighbourhood-scale renewal illustrate experiences dialogue between 'experts' 'users', draw attention application ICTs that dialogue.The authors' research is directed towards a quantitative qualitative description differences how general public professionals perceive understand architectural representations...
The paper reports on the VIPA project's aims, pedagogical problems, solutions, course content and methods; it will describe prototype results from participating
Topology optimization methods offer an interesting tool for architects and engineers as a rational basis the choice of structure's initial form, particularly developments in computer software are compatible with this approach.This can be argued from ecology, resource savings, static load design, fi nancial number other pragmatic reasons.But artistic/architectural perspective these not decisive.Analogical design qualities include tectonic appreciation properties materials, metaphoric...
Although many administrators and educators are familiar with e-learning programs, learning management systems portals, fewer may have experience virtual distributed environments their academic relevance.The blended of the VIPA project for architectural students offers some innovative insights into experientially oriented educational interfaces.A comparative analysis courses results presented in paper.Special attention discussion is devoted to improvements solutions architecture.The criterion...
The studies investigate the field of evidence-based design used in architectural practice and propose a method using 2D/3D CAD applications to: 1) enhance integration knowledge phases with focus on lighting interior 2) assess fulfilment criterion regarding light distribution location relation to patient safety health care proposals.The study uses modelling software Rhinoceros 3D plug-in Grasshopper create parametric tool prototypes exemplify operations functions method.To evaluate prototype...
