The processes by which urban areas come to be and evolve create outdoor spaces that experience different uses and have different characteristics over a period of time. For example, a space previously used for industrial purposes may presently be used as a community park. In some cases, a significant area of land may become a kind of leftover or remnant space whose uses are unclear, undefined, or unprogrammed, but exhibits natural characteristics. The purpose of this study is to utilize one of these natural remnants, Marott Park, in the cultural arts district of Broad Ripple in Indianapolis, Indiana as the basis for a design effort that provides access to the site while retaining both its site-specific and contextual characteristics. The intent of this effort is to enhance the community/pedestrian recreational, educational, and cultural experience through a detailed design for a portion of Marott Park. A set of recommendations also addresses the potential for connections between the site and other features such as existing open space, schools, and cultural features in the Indianapolis area. / Department of Landscape Architecture

Les technologies nanométriques ont réduit la fiabilité des circuits électroniques, notamment en les rendant plus sensible aux phénomènes extérieurs. Cela peut provoquer une modification des composants de stockage, ou la perturbation de fonctions logiques. Ce problème est plus préoccupant pour les mémoires, plus sensibles aux perturbations extérieures. Les codes correcteurs d'erreurs constituent l'une des solutions les plus utilisées, mais les contraintes de fiabilité conduisent à utiliser des codes plus complexes, et qui ont une influence négative sur la bande passante du système. Nous proposons une méthode qui supprime la perte de temps due à ces codes lors de l'écriture des données en mémoire, et la limite aux seuls cas où une erreur est détectée lors de la lecture. Pour cela on procède à la décontamination du circuit après qu'une donnée erronée ait été propagée dans le circuit, ce qui nécessite de restaurer certains des états précédents de quelques composants de stockage par l'ajout de FIFO. Un algorithme identifiant leurs lieux d'implémentation a également été créé. Nous avons ensuite évalué l'impact de cette méthode dans le contexte plus large suivant : la restauration d'un état précédent de l'ensemble du circuit en vue de corriger une erreur transistoire susceptible de se produire n'importe où dans le circuit. / Nanometric technologies led to a decrease of electronic circuit reliability, especially against external phenomena. Those may change the state of storage components, or interfere with logical components. In fact, this issue is more critical for memories, as they are more sensitive to external radiations. The error correcting codes are one of the most used solutions. However, reliability constraints require codes that are more and more complex. These codes have a negative effect on the system bandwidth. We propose a generic methodology that removes the timing penalty of error correcting codes during memory's write operation. Moreover, it limits the speed penalty for read operation only in the rare case an error is detected. To proceed, the circuit is decontaminated after uncorrected data were propagated inside the circuit. This technique may require restoring some past states of few storage components by adding some FIFO. An algorithm that identifies these components was also created. Then we try to evaluate the impact of such a technique for the following issue: the global state restoration of a circuit to erase all kinds of soft errors, everywhere inside the circuit.

In 1995 it was declared 61 rural monumental preserves and 164 rural monumental zones of popular architecture by Ministry of Culture. The aim of this diploma work was to find out in what extent the monumental protection of rural monument preserves and zones affect the country development. The point of this work is to verify the results of monument preservation, study the citizen, authority of autonomy and public administration position, and describe the effects on the choosen places. The research was carried out in rural monumental preserves and zones in the region of Tábor, specifically on six rural monumental preserves (Klečaty, Komárov, Mažice, Vlastiboř, Zálší, Záluží) and three rural monumental zones (Bechyňská Smoleč, Nedvědice, Svinky).

The aim of this diploma work was to find out in what extent the monumental protection of rural monument preserves and zones affect the country development. Whether this monumental protection brings benefits for the municipality or not and how the citizens of selected villages perceive this monumental protection. Other aim of the research was to find out the rate of co-operation between the authorized municipal authority, monumental authority and the Regional authority in České Budějovice. The research was carried out in rural monumental preserves and zones in the region of České Budějovice {--} II part, specifically on rural monumental preserve (Holašovice) and eight rural monumental zones (Bavorovice, Božejov, Břehov, Dobčice, Kojákovice, Lipanovice, Opatovice, Rožnov).

The purpose of this thesis is to verify the effects of care of historical monuments and inhabitant´s sentiments, local government and the state administration to these questions and its effects on development of selected places. The result of this thesis is to propose a remedy for further development of studied territories of these regions.

This teaching unit consists of pre and post field trip activities for the Big Morongo Canyon Preserve in Morongo Valley, California. The lessons provide background information to teachers and provide classroom activities on the desert and wetland environments. The lessons can be easily adapted for kindergarten through sixth grades.

Previous research has studied toxicity in World of Tanks game with a focus on precursors of toxicity, player performance in the game from the perspective of gender-performance gap or observing the players' major behaviors instigated by various situations within the game. This research focuses on player's behavior in the game chat with an emphasis on toxic behavior by using participant observation ethnography, thematic analysis, content analysis and autoethnography. Contrary to the predicted belief that game mechanics could instigate toxic behavior in the game, results showed that the major forms of toxicity were regarded as gamesplaining, ableism, sarcasm, male preserve concept and fragile masculinity concept.

My work uses plant material and soil as a record of personal, cultural, and ecological history. History is not only held in the buildings and monuments, but in the soil itself. I gather this soil and foliage from both cultivated and uncultivated locations for my artwork. Using traditional domestic techniques of drying and canning, I preserve the materials that I have gathered. These will then be sewn together, cooked, and encrusted into objects. Despite my labor of preserving, these organic art supplies are transient. When made into works of art, they can be viewed in their vulnerable state, fighting against time, as they decay. .
