No. of bitstreams: 1 Jo?o Paulo Coelho.pdf: 2583131 bytes, checksum: 2bd7fac9f5b05dee931c7c7819a4348a (MD5) Previous issue date: 2016-06-03 / The high rate of global population growth of recent decades has been concentrated in large urban centers. As a result of such growth it is observed that the occupation of these urban areas often occurs in a disorderly manner and without planning, especially as regards the provision of suitable urban infrastructure systems; imposing the population a low quality of life. Thus, this work was intended to evaluate the quality of life in the city of Campinas adapting the method of evaluation of environmental impact of Battelle Columbus. The determination of quality of life indicators is a fundamental tool to direct public actions in the pursuit of sustainability in urban areas. In developing the work objective indicators were used to obtain as a result the outlook on the quality of life in the city. The application and considered indicators chosen method is obtained for the city of Campinas a classification considered Bad as regards the quality of life. / A alta taxa de crescimento populacional mundial das ?ltimas d?cadas tem-se concentrado em grandes centros urbanos. Como resultado de tal crescimento observa-se que a ocupa??o dessas ?reas urbanas muitas vezes se d? de forma desordenada e com planejamento inadequado, especialmente no que se refere ao provimento de sistemas de infraestrutura urbana adequados; impondo ? popula??o uma baixa qualidade de vida. Assim, com este trabalho, pretendeu-se avaliar a qualidade de vida do munic?pio de Campinas adaptando o m?todo de avalia??o de impacto ambiental de Battelle Columbus. A determina??o de indicadores de qualidade de vida ? ferramenta fundamental para direcionar a??es p?blicas na busca da sustentabilidade das ?reas urbanas. No desenvolvimento do trabalho foram utilizados indicadores objetivos para obter-se como resultado o panorama relativo a qualidade de vida na cidade. Da aplica??o do m?todo escolhido e dos indicadores considerados obteve-se para o munic?pio de Campinas uma classifica??o final considerada Ruim no que se refere a qualidade de vida.

The American Institute of Architects ranks Columbus, Indiana, a small city of 44,000 people, sixth among American cities for the quality of its architectural design and innovation. The community’s total of over 70 excellent modern and post-modern buildings are a result of highly ambitious public and private patronage of design excellence. However, no document explains how just a few individuals were responsible for this extraordinary achievement. This graduate thesis will focus on those individuals. In addition to documenting the involvement of J. Irwin Miller, an industrialist known for his local and national leadership, this thesis will explore the critical, yet often uncredited, role that Eero Saarinen, one of the nation’s most distinguished architects, played in this achievement. / The context for Columbus architectural development -- Eero Saarinen : the man behind the architecture -- The origins of Columbus' architectural development -- The Cummins Engine Foundation Architecture Program during the life of Eero Saarinen -- The Cummins Engine Foundation Architecture Program after Eero Saarinen -- Corporate architecture in Bartholomew County. / Department of Architecture

The Acerinox Group has recently acquired Columbus Stainless. With this acquisition, came a dramatic change in operations philosophy. This involves maximisation of product volumes and a low cost strategy throughout the plant. This paper serves to present the management dilemma currently present at Columbus Stainless: Is the current Corporate Maintenance Strategy able to support the manufacturing strategy as laid down by Acerinox? Is there a breakdown in synergy between this corporate maintenance strategy and plant-specific maintenance strategies and why? As part of the research methodology a construct has been developed to perform a gap analysis between World Class/Best Practice maintenance practices and the Columbus Stainless and plant-specific maintenance strategies. A gap analysis is also performed between the Columbus Stainless Maintenance Strategy and the plant-specific maintenance strategies at the Hot End of the organisation. A questionnaire is also used to determine the maturity level of the maintenance management in terms of World Class/Best Practice maintenance theory, the Corporate Maintenance Strategy and plant-specific maintenance strategies. This study has found that the Corporate Maintenance Strategy is able to support the maximisation of volumes and low cost strategy by comparing the World Class/Best Practice maintenance practices found in grounded theory, to the Corporate Strategy and to the plant-specific strategies. The results from this study also find that there is a breakdown in synergy between one plant at the Hot End of the organisation and the Corporate Maintenance Strategy. The reasons for the breakdown in synergy are identified and recommendations are made accordingly. / Thesis (MBA)-University of Natal, Duban, 2003.

The housing shortage in the United States at the close of World War II led President Truman and his National Housing Expediter, Wilson W. Wyatt, Sr., to enact the Veteran's Emergency Housing Act. Enacted in the spring of 1946, one goal of the V.E.H.A. was to encourage the production of prefabricated and factory-built housing units.The Lustron Homes Corporation, founded by Carl Strandlund, was a subsidiary of Chicago Vitreous Enamel Products Company which received over $37 million from the Federal Government between 19461950, in order to manufacture standardized all-steel houses.This creative project explores the wartime and postwar housing situation across the country, and specifically, in Louisville, Kentucky. An interview with Wilson W. Wyatt, Sr. is included.The production, assembly, and sales practices of the Lustron Homes Corporation are explored through research, and through an interview with the regional salesman who represented Kentucky. Documentation and photographs of Louisville's Lustrons are included. / Department of Architecture
