ABSTRACT EXPERIMENTAL ANALYSIS OF CURVED LAMINATED GLASS BEAM Uzhan, Tevfik M.S., Department of Engineering Sciences Supervisor: Prof. Dr. M. Z&uuml / lf&uuml / ASik May 2010, 33 Pages In this thesis, experimental studies are carried out on curved laminated glass beams to form a database for the scientists who may like to test their mathematical models. Beams which are only free to rotate and constrained in radial direction at both ends are tested to make the data available for further calculations. Test setup is prepared to minimize error that could occur due to test setup and data readings. Material testing machine and 4 channel data collecting machine are used to measure the signals at the strain gauges located over the glass beam. Within the range of force applied to the specimens, laminated curved beam shows linear behavior without any fracture. Data collected from the specimens are in conformance with each other. Results obtained from experiments are compared with the results obtained from the mathematical model developed by ASik and Dural (2006). As it is observed from the graphs presented, experimental results from the tests and numerical results from the mathematical model are in good agreement.

Buildings of the modern period have traditionally been absent from most architectural surveys. Part of the reason for this lies in the fact that very few guides have attempted to provide meaningful and accurate terms for post-World War II buildings, leaving surveyors without any meaningful way to categorize such structures. The purpose of this creative project, then, is to provide an accurate and meaningful means of applying style and building form categories to post-1941 architectural resources.The creative project first examines major trends in the movement to preserve and, more specifically, to document recent past resources throughout the United States. Primary and secondary sources, both popular and professional, are examined to determine the most common and appropriate labels being applied to modern architectural resources. From this, an illustrated style guide for identifying modern Indiana architecture is created.The creative project then provides a statewide survey of post-1941 architectural resources with both photographic and written documentation as an illustration of how to apply the determined styles and forms. / Project narrative -- Catalog of recent past architectural movements. / Department of Architecture

A abordagem teórico-metodológica da Sociolingüística considera o nível de escolaridade como fator social determinante na configuração das normas de uma língua, e os estudos voltados para a história social lingüística do português brasileiro têm enfatizado a necessidade de reconstruir a história da escolarização no Brasil, observando em que medida esse processo contribuiu na constituição da norma culta. Os dados expostos neste trabalho foram levantados em documentos oficiais e nãooficiais, identificando-se os conteúdos ensinados e os métodos utilizados no ensino de língua portuguesa, bem como índices relacionados à população escolar e ao sistema de ensino. Embora os materiais didáticos e os métodos de ensino relativos à língua portuguesa tenham se aprimorado e o governo tenha intensificado investimentos no setor de instrução pública, ao se observar a estrutura das escolas, o fluxo de professores e o índice de freqüência dos alunos, não é possível assegurar que, no período em foco, o padrão lingüístico tenha sido plenamente adquirido por essa população. / Salvador

This study reports on the development of a curriculum guide to insure some degree of experience uniformity in the first art course available to students in high schools in Mesquite, Texas. Current general education and art education literature as well as curriculum guides from American schools provided the behaviorally oriented framework and objectives, content, and teaching strategies. The guide reflects a balance between the ideal and the real physical environment in which the guide will be implemented. Conclusions include the concepts that teacher education in using behavioral objectives is necessary, that a behaviorally oriented guide will work in Mesquite high schools, that behavioral objectives will facilitate evaluation, and that the trend toward tri-part subject content will increase in art curricula.
