2	Transferable development rights : a policy analysis of a planning instrument and its application in Vancouver Goelman, Ari 05 1900 (has links) In this thesis I examine the planning tool most commonly known as the transfer of development rights (TDR) and discuss its application in Vancouver. Before addressing Vancouver's use of TDR, I establish the context of TDR use in North America, suggest appropriate policy objectives and constraints for TDR programs, and outline a series of operational decisions made in designing any TDR program. I proceed to evaluate Vancouver's TDR program in light of these discussions. I found that TDR programs can be effective tools for redistributing the costs and benefits of certain types of land use restrictions. However, TDR programs vary widely in their effects. Depending on the specific design of a given program, it can have very different implications. In Vancouver, the TDR program is a relatively minor adjunct to the process of heritage preservation. Like any planning tool, Vancouver's TDR program strikes a balance between various objectives. However, it can be generally stated that fairness or distributional concerns are prevalent in Vancouver's program. Specifically, the protection of property rights is one of the defining elements of the program. Vancouver's program has been marked by a strong discretionary component, which has tended to create high transactions costs. In recent years, though, transaction costs in Vancouver have gone down significantly. As transaction costs have decreased and the program has grown more fluid, the take-up rate of transferable density in Vancouver has increased. These trends are widely expected to continue, as Vancouver's transfer of density program further matures. Development rights transfer City planning

4	Návrh olejového čerpadla přídavného převodu vozidla Tatra T158 / Design of Oil Pump for T158 Transfer Case Gášek, Martin January 2017 (has links) This master’s thesis deals with a new design of an oil pump for Tatra T158 transfer case. The new solution should replace earlier involute internal gear pump which is not able to provide sufficent lubrication. The main problem of the old design is a poor suction at low speeds of the vehicle. Gerotor type of the pump has been chosen. Its main advantages are a convenient specific flow rate and good volumetric efficency. In an analytic calculation of the pump gearing also important functional parameters have been checked, like a pressure angle, flow rate, flow irregularity, specific flow rate, specific slipping. A design with and without axial clearance compensation is introduced. Measurements on a test rig confirmed good suction ability even in low revs. Generated flow rate and pressure are improved. That is a good prerequisite for faster assembly of transfer case with no testing of each oil pump. The tests have not revealed any unexpected wear of parts of the pump so far. It is supposed an application of the new gerotor design in a serial production of T158 truck and other types in the future.

Štěpánka Štiková DEPARTMENT: Institute for Research and Development of Education SUPERVISOR: RNDr. Dominik Dvořák, Ph.D. ABSTRACT: Pupil mobility is a serious phenomenon, which has not - at least in the context of Czech education system - enjoyed too much academic attention in terms of dedicated research. Premises of both the master thesis as well as those of pertinent research are following: The phenomenon of pupil mobility is considered in a case of a metropolitan elementary school, analyzing individual embedded cases of pupil mobility which occurred there within a defined monitoring period. A framework of the thesis is set by means of describing demographic and social context in the above school. Each individual pupil mobility case is described, its root cause is analyzed, and its impact on the respective class (student body) is examined by means of interviewing involved stakeholders. The goal of this research is to establish root causes as well as main impact categories of pupil mobility within a metropolitan elementary school context. Gathered data is processed and by means cross-case analysis method. Following movement was recorded on the lower secondary level of the examined school during the examination period: There...
6	Minimization of Noise and Vibration Related to Driveline Imbalance using Robust Design Processes Al-Shubailat, Omar 17 August 2013 (has links) Variation in vehicle noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) response can be caused by variability in design (e.g. tolerance), material, manufacturing, or other sources of variation. Such variation in the vehicle response causes a higher percentage of produced vehicles to have higher levels (out of specifications) of NVH leading to higher number of warranty claims and loss of customer satisfaction, which are proven costly. Measures must be taken to ensure less warranty claims and higher levels of customer satisfactions. As a result, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) have implemented design for variation in the design process to secure an acceptable (or within specification) response. The focus here will be on aspects of design variations that should be considered in the design process of drivelines. Variations due to imbalance in rotating components can be unavoidable or costly to control. Some of the major components in the vehicle that are known to have imbalance and traditionally cause NVH issues and concerns include the crankshaft, the drivetrain components (transmission, driveline, half shafts, etc.), and wheels. The purpose is to assess NVH as a result of driveline imbalance variations and develop a tool to help design a more robust system to such variations. program.
