Jens Jensen was a prominent landscape architect whose designs emphasized the unique landscape features of the Midwest. As a strong advocate of conservation, Jensen used native plant materials and forms to express the vanishing Midwestern landscape. Jensen was a true artist and is most often recognized as the master of this uniquely Midwestern style. In 1905 he was employed by the city of Racine to design a system of parks. Racine's mayor had recently appointed a Park Board to consider the future recreational needs of the city and citizens, which at the time had only Mound Cemetery as a place to spend Sundays and holidays. From 1906 to 1914, Jensen completed plans for an entire park system for Racine, including specific plans for four parks, a bathing beach and Monument Square. The natural resources of the city were suited to Jensen's prairie style, and he emphasized the conservation and utilization of the Root River, shoreline of Lake Michigan, woods and meadows strongly in his work. The designs are unque because they successfully integrated recreational facilities into the aesthetic setting of a park. This paper will address the history, development and design of the Racine parks, emphasizing their local and national significance as surviving examples of Jens Jensen's philosophies and Midwestern style. / Department of Architecture

The methods of evapotranspiration estimation compared were: Jensen-Haise, Ivanov, Linacre, Hargreaves-Samani and Makkink. The analyzed data came from the automatic weather station belonging to the Unidade de Ensino e Pesquisa (Teaching and Research Unit) of the Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia do Ceará - Campus Limoeiro do Norte, Ceará, comprising the period (in 2007) from January 1st to December. The analysis was based on daily data, monthly data and by ten-day interval data using regression analysis and evaluating the Hoppinks (2002) correlation coefficient, the Willmott (et al., 1985) indexes and the Sentelhas and Campbell (1997) performance index . The results demonstrated that the method of Ivanov gave the best performance in the daily schedule, that in the ten-day schedule the methods of Ivanov and Hargreaves-Samani showed the best performance, and that in the monthly schedule, the methods of Linacre, Hargreaves-Samani and Ivanov showed the best performance. Despite the good performance of the Ivanov method with all three time schedules, we would advise the use of the Hargreaves-Samani method, in ten-day and monthly schedules, due to its greater ease of data collection and practicality in the calculation of reference evapotranspiration. / Neste trabalho objetivou-se avaliar os métodos que melhor se ajustassem à estimativa da evapotranspiração de referência em comparação com a equação de Penman-Monteith-FAO. Os métodos de estimativa de ETo empregados foram: Jensen-Haise, Ivanov, Linacre, Hargreaves-Samani e Makkink. Os dados analisados foram provenientes da estação meteorológica automática pertencente à Unidade de Ensino e Pesquisa do Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia do Ceará - Campus Limoeiro do Norte, Ceará, compreendendo o período de 1º de janeiro a dezembro de 2007. A análise foi baseada em dados diários, decendiais e mensais, utilizando-se a análise de regressão e avaliando o coeficiente de correlação por Hoppinks (2002), os índices de concordância de Willmott et al. (1985) e índice de desempenho de Camargo e Sentelhas (1997). Os resultados encontrados expuseram que o método de Ivanov obteve o melhor desempenho na escala diária. Na escala decendial os métodos de Ivanov e Hargreaves-Samani apresentaram o melhor desempenho. Na escala mensal os métodos de Linacre, Hargreaves-Samani e Ivanov apresentaram o melhor desempenho. Apesar do método de Ivanov ter se destacado nas três escalas temporais, propõem-se a utilização do método de Hargreaves-Samani nas escalas decendial e mensal devido a sua maior facilidade de obtenção dos dados e sua praticidade no cálculo da evapotranspiração de referência.

Em 2004, o setor passou por uma enorme reformulação legal, alterando significativamente o seu aspecto regulatório. Este trabalho tem o objetivo de verificar a condição de equilíbrio de mercado acionário no setor elétrico pré e pós-regulamentação, a partir dos testes do Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), embasados na metodologia dos autores Black, Jensen e Scholes (1972) e Fama MacBeth (1973). Os dados deste estudo foram coletados na base Economática, relativos a preços mensais das ações do setor, pontuação do Índice da Bolsa de Valores de São Paulo (IBOVESPA) e taxas mensais do Certificado de Depósito Interbancário (CDI). O tratamento estatístico foi realizado através de regressões lineares e cross sections, pelo método dos mínimos quadrados. Os resultados demonstraram, para todo o período de análise, linearidade decrescente na Security Market Line (SML), prêmio negativo de mercado; insuficiência do CDI para a explicação dos retornos e influência dos resíduos no modelo. No período pré-regulamentação constataram-se tendência de não-linearidade em alguns períodos e linearidade crescente em outros (prêmio positivo de mercado); aplicabilidade do CDI e do IBOVESPA e influência dos resíduos no modelo. Já no período pós-regulamentação verificaram-se linearidade decrescente com ineficiência do IBOVESPA no modelo; grande influência dos resíduos na explicação dos retornos e anormalidade na aplicabilidade do modelo no subperíodo 2002-2006

Wake interactions on a floating platform for offshore wind energy applications were investigated. The study is performed in collaboration with Hexicon AB which has a patent family for innovative floating platforms, which are able to turn automatically. The Jensen model is used for wake effect calculations and the simulations were performed in MATLAB. The present study starts with wind speed and wind direction data analysis for the specific site that Hexicon AB plans to construct its first platform. Data analysis is followed by wake interaction studies for H4-24MW type Hexicon AB platform. Wake interaction simulations were performed for three different cases. Fixed turbine and platform, Nacelle yawing and fixed platform and Nacelle yawing and turned platform. Different cases were investigated in order to see wake interactions for different wind directions. Wind direction effect on wake interactions were performed between _90_ and 90_ with an increment of 10_. After having the simulation results for Nacelle yawing and turned platform case the results were compared with ANSYS - CFX simulations results. The results didn’t match exactly but they were very close, which is an indicator to the validity of the Jensen Model. After finding out the possible behavior of wake interactions for different wind directions, power calculations were performed for the same three cases. In order to perform the power calculations the wake interactions for different wind directions were taken into account. In case of platform turning it was assumed that power losses were caused both by wake interactions and in case of thrusters activation. The losses that would be caused by different thrust forces on the turbine blades were not included. The last study was performed to suggest different layouts. In the second case, Nacelle yawing and fixed platform, it was found out that nacelle yawing for most of the angles is not possible because it creates wake regions in front of the rotor area. It was decided to propose new turbine configurations on the platform which are tolerant to different nacelle yawing angles. The simulations were run without considering any constructions limitations, meaning that the availability of platform structure was not included. The study is ended by performing some probabilistic results for platform turning behavior.
