This is a residential project in the city. The main target audience for this project is the elderly. It  combines medical care space， residence and social activity space together. With the deepening of aging, there are more and more elderly people in cities, but the quality of their living environment is not high. There is not enough public space and green area for them.  This project mainly aims to provide comfortable accommodation for the elderly while increasing their public activity space, thereby enhancing social interaction among the elderly. And through the strategy of roof garden, the overall greening rate of the residential area will be increased to better serve the life of the elderly. While developing urban public spaces, it is also necessary to consider the needs of the elderly.

The problem which, was explored in this study was: What are the perceptions held by doctoral gradates of their academic-professional and personal experiences related to the residency requirement? Five research, questions were posed to provide guidance for the collection of data for this study. They are described in detail in the summary and conclusions sections of this chapter. The overall purpose of this study was to provide a procedure for evaluating full-time residential study in a doctoral program as perceived by graduates. Specifically, the objectives were: 1) to define the purposes and activities of-the residency requirement in the College of Education at VPI&SU as articulated by the faculty and administrative staff; 2) to determine the graduates' perceptions of their academic, professional and personal experiences while fulfilling the residency requirement at VPI&SU; and 3) to compare and contrast the perceptions of the faculty and the graduates with respect to the residence requirement. / Ed.

Student persistence has long been valued by higher education administrators (Glynn, Sauer, & Miller, 2003). Persistence rates are significantly impacted by student interaction (Tinto, 1975). The environment can have a major influence on how students interact with one another (Lewin, 1936). One way in which the environment can influence interactions is by a building design (Strange & Banning, 2001), including residence hall building design. Despite theories that building design impacts interactions, there is little research that explores how student interaction is influenced as a result of residence hall building design.The purpose of this study was to understand how residence hall spaces that differ by architectural style impact college student interactions. Specifically, this study examined the interactions that took place among residents in traditional and suite style residence halls. For purposes of this study, an interaction was defined as face-to-face contact between two or more individuals that was more significant than a simple greeting.The results of the study first revealed that residents of traditional and suite style residence halls have mostly social interactions in their hall. Secondly, the results revealed that students in traditional style residence halls have an easy time meeting other people in their residence hall environment. Lastly, the results showed that students who live in suite style residence halls have a more difficult time meeting other members of their community. / Master of Arts

abstract: With budgets on the decline, university officials are seeking alternative methods to maintain and increase the type of services provided to students. By incorporating social entrepreneurial competencies in the daily actions of university staff members, staff members will be able to perform their work more effectively and help students acquire skills such as innovative thinking, which is needed in today's society. Social entrepreneurs are defined as change agents for society; these individuals seize opportunities missed by others, improve systems, create solutions, innovate and adapt, leverage resources they do not control, and advocate for what they and others need to be successful (Ashoka, 2010a; Bornstein & Davis, 2010; Dees, 1998). Universities will be more successful in respect to helping students with a workforce of social entrepreneurs capable of leveraging resources. Through action research, this study utilized a phenomenological perspective with both qualitative and quantitative methods of data collection and analysis to introduce social entrepreneurial competencies to the live-in housing professionals (pro-staff) at Arizona State University (ASU) and then examined the incorporation of the competencies into the pro-staff's daily work. Ten current pro-staff participated in two phases of the study, each of which consisted of surveys and workshops. Participants' responses indicated that there are five competencies and three strengths related to social entrepreneurship that are significant to the pro-staff position and their daily work at ASU. / Dissertation/Thesis / Ed.D.

Long-term residence permit for the purpose of study in the Czech Republic Abstract Long-term residence permit for the purpose of study is permitted by the Ministry of the Interior to the third-country nationals who intend to stay in the Czech Republic for more than 1 year. The fundamental legal regulation governing long-term residence isact No. 326/1999 Coll., On the Residence of Foreign nationals in the Czech Republic and on amendment of certain acts, that is transposing Directives of the European Union on which is this residence based. The case law of the Czech administrative courts, the Constitutional Court and the Court of Justice of the European Union cannot be omitted since it is important source. Firstly, is the master's thesis devoted to the concept of foreigners, in order to clearly specify for which category of foreigners is the long-term stay intended to and what area of law deals with it. Subsequently, the Directive 2004/114/EC, which is the basis of a valid and effective regulation of the study stay, is being analysed along with the Directive 2016/801, which will be transposed into the Czech legal system by an amendment to act No. 326/1999 Coll., which is at the time of submitting the master's thesis at the stage of the government's draft, waiting for the first reading in the Chamber of...

The creation of learning outcomes inside and outside of the classroom on college campuses has been a growing trend based on a variety of publications which encouraged the fostering of diverse types learning and the measurement of student learning outside of the classroom (ACPA, 1994; Keeling, 2004). The creation of the learning outcomes is a positive step, however, assessment of the learning outcomes must be conducted to determine what students are learning and what areas are to be improved otherwise the learning outcomes are meaningless. This study was conducted at a large public research university where the Department of Housing and Residential Education had recently identified its Residential Learning Outcomes. Consequentially an assessment of the over attainment of the Residential Learning Outcomes, the impact the number of years a student resided on campus had on the attainment of the Residential Learning Outcomes and the impact the number of years a student was enrolled at the institution had on the attainment of the Residential Learning Outcomes may be useful to the university and the wider body of knowledge about residential education. Using targeted questions from the CSEQ the study found that there were significant levels of achievement for residential students for six of the seven Residential Learning Outcomes especially when isolating the Quality of Effort scales. When evaluating the number of years a student has been enrolled, however, no relationship was found.

Abstract, key words Title of the thesis: Shared residence in Czech and German law The aim of this thesis is to compare the approach to shared residence in the legal order of the Czech Republic and the Federal Republic of Germany, i.e. to find out to what extent the approaches of these countries to shared residence differ. This is examined in relation to selected issues which courts had to deal with when deciding on the shared residence, i.e. the influence of the child's wishes, the parents' will, their ability to communicate and long distance between the parents' households on the suitability of shared residence. Special attention is paid to the presumption of shared residence, or shared residence as a rule. The thesis focuses on the effective regulations. The thesis is divided into three parts. The first part deals with the Czech regulation of the shared residence. The individual chapters explain basic terminology, sources of law, legal regulation of shared residence, case law on the selected issues, including the presumption of shared residence, and some of the specifics of maintenance obligation. The second part of the thesis follows the same structure as the first part. However, there is a special chapter regarding drafts on shared residence as a rule. The third part compares the findings made in the...

The goal of this study was to assess the effect of residence time on the chemical and microbial quality of reclaimed water in two distribution systems located in southern Arizona. Utility A produced Class A water and utilized chlorine as a means of disinfection whereas Utility B produced Class A+ water and utilized UV radiation as a means of disinfection. Water-based pathogens were consistently detected in both distribution systems beyond the point of compliance, while microbial indicators like Escherichia coli was only detected in Utility B suggesting that treatment eliminated waterborne pathogens. Heterotrophic plate concentrations in samples from both utilities initially increased rapidly with increased distance from the point-of-compliance and were as high as 10⁹ CFU/100ml. Regardless of the initial level of treatment, the microbial quality deteriorated with increased residence time in the distribution systems. The second study was designed to evaluate the effect of reclaimed water storage on microbial and chemical quality of two classes of reclaimed water (Class A and Class A+). In Class A water, nitrification was observed during both field scale trials resulting in concentrations greater than 10mg/L while nitrification was not observed in Class A+. Chlorine residuals rapidly decreased within 48hours of storage. HPC concentration were as high as 10⁷ - 10⁸ /100ml. In both field scale trials, there was no observed growth of HPC during storage and waterborne indicator bacteria were rarely detected, and if detected, only at low concentrations. Based on this data, deterioration of microbial water quality during storage is minimal.

This dissertation presents a series of studies related to the slurry mean residence time analysis and the pad-wafer contact characterization in Chemical Mechanical Planarization (CMP). The purpose of these studies is to further understand the fundamentals of CMP and to explore solutions to some of CMP's challenges. Mean residence time (MRT) is a widely used term that is mostly seen in classical chemical engineering reactor analysis. In a CMP process, the wafer-pad interface can be treated as a closed system reactor, and classical reactor theory can be applied to the slurry flow through the region. Slurry MRT represents the average time it takes for fresh incoming slurry to replace the existing slurry in the region bound between the pad and the wafer. Understanding the parameters that have an impact on MRT, and therefore removal rate, is critical to maintain tight specifications in the CMP process. In this dissertation, we proposed a novel slurry injection system (SIS) which efficiently introduced fresh slurry into the pad-wafer interface to reduce MRT. Results indicated that SIS exhibited lower slurry MRT and dispersion numbers but higher removal rates than the standard pad center slurry application by blocking the spent slurry and residual rinse water from re-entering the pad-wafer interface during polishing. Another study in this dissertation dealt with the effect of pad groove width on slurry MRT in the pad-wafer interface as well as slurry utilization efficiency (η). Three concentrically grooved pads with different groove widths were tested at different polishing pressures to experimentally determine the corresponding MRT using the residence time distribution (RTD) technique. Results showed that MRT and η increased significantly when the groove width increased from 300 to 600μm. On the other hand, when the groove width increased further to 900μm, MRT continued to increase while n remained constant. Results also indicated that MRT was reduced at a higher polishing pressure while η did not change significantly with pressure for all three pads. In the last study of this dissertation, the effect of pad surface micro-texture on removal rate during tungsten CMP was investigated. Two different conditioner discs ("Disc A" and "Disc B") were employed to generate different pad surface micro-textures during polishing. Results showed that "Disc B" generated consistently lower removal rates and coefficients of friction than "Disc A". To fundamentally elucidate the cause(s) of such differences, pad surface contact area and topography were analyzed using laser confocal microscopy. The comparison of the pad surface micro-texture analysis on pad surfaces conditioned by both discs indicated that "Disc A" generated a surface having a smaller abruptness (λ) and more solid contact area which resulted in a higher removal rate. In contrast, "Disc B" generated many large near-contact areas as a result of fractured and collapsed pore walls.
