The Walls of Dongshuiguan Island

Sun, Zhuying 29 October 2019 (has links)
Walls are important elements in architecture design history. Walls have been used as barriers and as structural elements as well. The biggest scale of a wall is a city wall which can protect the whole city area as a fortification--boundary. Another scale is the wall around buildings, which can define a site, a landscape, and separate a building from its surroundings. At a smaller scale, walls divide spaces in buildings. From ancient times to modern times, the wall was developed into various shapes and functions with different kinds of materials. This thesis is a study of walls of different scales and their harmonious whole. I am very interested in the city walls of Nanjing, a famous Chinese old city very close to where I was born. These city walls were built more than 200 years ago. These old walls are combined with new walls to make a space for communication and a new public attraction for the city. People can see the walls, feel the walls and then know much about the walls and architectural space. Wall gallery, visitor center and cafe/gift shop are located in this wall garden that I call "Paradise Island". / Master of Architecture

Studie om värmetröghetens påverkan i tunga och lätta byggnader : Med avseende på energianvändning och branschens uppfattning / A study about the impact of thermal inertia in heavy and light buildings : Regarding the energy consumption and the industries perception

Lanneld, Jakob, Quick, Jennifer January 2022 (has links)
Detta arbete är en jämförelsestudie mellan tunga och lätta byggnader med avseende på värmetröghetens påverkan på energianvändning. Studien syftar sig även till att ta reda på uppfattningen samt användning av värmetröghet av olika yrkesroller inom byggbranschen. Då åsikterna och forskningen skiljer sig åt i branschen finns det inget direkt svar på hur mycket värmetröghet faktiskt påverkar energianvändningen. Då energi- och klimatkrisen är ett faktum i Sverige så måste energianvändningen samt klimatavtrycket som byggsektorn står för att minska, inte minst under produktion utan under hela livscykeln.  Studien ska besvara följande frågeställningar; hur använder och uppfattar olika aktörer i byggbranschen värmetröghet i tunga respektive lätta byggnader, hur skiljer sig energiförbrukningen i lätta respektive tunga byggnader för olika byggnadstyper? Värmetröghet är en byggnads förmåga att lagra värmen och är ett mått på dess termiska stabilitet. I denna studie är det följande byggnadstyper som undersöks: kontorsbyggnader och flerfamiljshus med tung och lätt stomme som är både välisolerad och dåligt isolerad. Studien började med en mindre litteraturgenomgång för att få en djupare och bredare förståelse för ämnet värmetröghet. Det två metoder som används under arbetet är semistrukturerade intervjuer och beräkningar i programmet BIM-Energy. Det har utförts sex intervjuer där yrkesrollerna varierade från konstruktör till affärsutvecklingschef. Intervjuerna varade i cirka 30 minuter och alla intervjuer följde samma intervjumall. I BIM-Energy modelleras åtta olika byggnader där fyra är kontor och fyra är flerfamiljshus. Av de fyra kontoren är två byggda i lätt konstruktion och två i tung konstruktion, desamma gäller för de fyra flerfamiljshusen. Kontoren och flerfamiljshusen konstruerades med en tung välisolerad byggnad samt en tung dåligt isolerad, detta gällde även för lätta konstruktionerna.  Värmetrögheten påverkade energianvändningen i kontorsbyggnaderna mer än i flerfamiljshusen. I kontoren minskade energianvändningen i alla modeller med en tung stomme jämfört med den lätta. I flerfamiljshusen minskade energianvändningen endast för den välisolerade tunga stommen och då var minskningen inte så markant. Kylbehovet minskade för de tungt konstruerade byggnaderna oavsett isoleringsmängd. Inomhustemperaturen varierade mindre för de tungt konstruerade byggnaderna än för de lätta.  Uppfattningen från de olika yrkesrollerna i byggbranschen var att värmetröghet i stommen inte påverkar energianvändningen markant och att ingen av de intervjuade använde det aktivt i sitt arbete. Slutsatsen blir då att byggbranschen inte använder värmetröghet vid dimensionering av stommar. För de beräknade resultatet blev slutsatsen att byggnadstypen är en viktig aspekt för att kunna använda värmetröghet i stommen på effektivt sätt för att minska energianvändningen. I detta fall är det kontor som är mer lämpade för det än flerfamiljshus. / This is a study comparing light and heavy buildings regarding the buildings thermal inertia and how that effects the energy use. The study also investigates the opinion and usage of thermal inertia from different professions in the building industry. The climate- and energy crisis is a fact in Sweden and the building sector needs to decrease its energy use and environmental footprint, not only in the construction face but the throughout the whole life cycle.  The two methods used in this study is semi-structured interviews and calculations in the program BIM-Energy. There were six interviews and the responders varied between building engineer and a business developing manger. The models consist of eight different buildings, four offices, were two are with heavy construction and two with light construction, with both high and low insolation. The other four buildings were modeled the same way, but the buildings area of use was apartments.  The results were that the energy consumption did decrease in the office buildings for the heavy construction compared to the light. The apartments did not significantly decrease in energy consumption and therefore the conclusion is that the usage of the building is an important factor in making a building use less energy with thermal inertia. The results from the interviews were that they did not use thermal inertia when dimensioning the buildings, but thermal inertia did decrease the energy consumption, but the amount of decrease was not agreed upon. The conclusion is that the building sector have different perception about how much the thermal inertia does affect the energy usage but also that the building sector does not use it when dimensioning a building.

No. of bitstreams: 1 GilianeCMNS_DISSERT.pdf: 1750841 bytes, checksum: cedbb003a4fc658825db6f8e66611748 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2013-06-25 / In this research the removal of light and heavy oil from disintegrated limestone was investigated with use of microemulsions. These chemical systems were composed by surfactant, cosurfactant, oil phase and aqueous phase. In the studied systems, three points in the water -rich microemulsion region of the phase diagrams were used in oil removal experiments. These microemulsion systems were characterized to evaluate the influence of particle size, surface tension, density and viscosity in micellar stability and to understand how the physical properties can influence the oil recovery process. The limestone rock sample was characterized by thermogravimetry, BET area, scanning electron microscopy and X-ray fluorescence. After preparation, the rock was placed in contact with light and heavy oil solutions to allow oil adsorption. The removal tests were performed to evaluate the influence of contact time (1 minute, 30 minutes, 60 minutes and 120 minutes), the concentration of active matter (20, 30 and 40 %), different cosurfactants and different oil phases. For the heavy oil, the best result was on SME 1, with 20 % of active matter, 1 minute of contact time, with efficiency of 93,33 %. For the light oil, also the SME 1, with 20 % of active matter, 120 minutes of contact time, with 62,38 % of efficiency. From the obtained results, it was possible to conclude that microemulsions can be considered as efficient chemical systems for oil removal from limestone formations / O presente trabalho objetivou estudar a remo??o de fra??es de ?leo leve e pesado em rocha calc?ria desintegrada atrav?s de sistemas microemulsionados, comparando as efici?ncias de remo??o em diferentes concentra??es de mat?ria ativa (C/T) e tempo de contato. Os sistemas microemulsionados (SME) s?o constitu?dos por tensoativo, cotensoativo, fase oleosa e fase aquosa. Nos sistemas estudados, tr?s pontos ricos em ?gua da regi?o de microemuls?o foram utilizados para verificar a efici?ncia de remo??o. Os sistemas foram caracterizados para avaliar a influ?ncia do tamanho do agregado, tens?o superficial e viscosidade na estabilidade micelar e compreender como as propriedades f?sicas podem influenciar o processo de remo??o de ?leo. A amostra de rocha calc?ria foi caracterizada por Termogravimetria, ?rea BET, Microscopia Eletr?nica de Varredura, Difra??o de Raios-X e Fluoresc?ncia de Raios-X. A rocha preparada foi colocada em contato com solu??o de ?leo leve e pesado em xileno para permitir a adsor??o de ?leo. Os testes de remo??o foram realizados a fim de avaliar a influ?ncia do tempo de contato (1, 30, 60 e 120 minutos), da concentra??o de mat?ria ativa (20, 30 e 40%), do cotensoativo e da fase oleosa. Para o ?leo pesado, o melhor resultado foi para o SME 1, com 20 % de mat?ria ativa, no tempo de 1 minuto, com 93,33 % de efici?ncia. Para o ?leo leve, o SME 1 no percentual de 20 %, com 120 minutos apresentou o melhor rendimento, com 62,38 %. A partir dos resultados obtidos, concluiu-se que os sistemas microemulsionados apresentam-se como uma alternativa eficaz para remo??o de ?leo em forma??es calc?rias

Semileptonic B Decays to Light Neutral Hadrons: B to pi0 l nu and B to eta l nu

Cole, Shoshanna Beth January 2007 (has links)
Master of Science / An analysis of B to pi0 l nu and B to eta l nu decays using the neutrino reconstruction technique is presented. The dataset consists of 535 million BB pairs in 492 fb^−1 of data collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric e+e− collider. The measured B to pi0 l nu and B to eta l nu branching fractions are B(B to pi0 l nu) = (0.68 ± 0.09 ± 0.11 ± 0.04)×10^−4 and B(B to eta l nu) = (0.42 ± 0.13)×10^−4. The errors on the pi0 measurement are statistical, experimental systematic, and due to b to u l nu modelling, respectively; that on the eta is statistical only. The B to pi0 l nu branching fraction is measured in three q^2 bins: q^2 < 8 GeV^2, 8 GeV^2 ≤ q^2 < 16 GeV^2, and 16 GeV^2 ≤ q^2. The Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa quark-mixing matrix element |Vub| is extracted from the B to pi0 l nu branching fraction using a Light-Cone Sum Rules form factor extrapolated to the full q^2 range, and is found to be |Vub| = (3.29 ± 0.23 ± 0.27 ± 0.05)×10^−3, where the errors are statistical, experimental systematic, and theoretical, respectively.
