Abstract

Since the modern movement, 'flexibility' has become one of the most appealing words in architecture and today's modern society needs buildings that can fit itself with technological advances and, consequently, modern user needs. And the need to maximize the use of limited space that is one of the axioms of today's society has attracted attention to the concept of flexibility and the effort to achieve a flexible environment. In the meantime, the efforts made to achieve flexibility in some cases have led to the creation of spaces with incomplete functional characteristics or the neglect of spatial quality. This paper focuses on the concept of flexibility as a fundamental prerequisite for residential architectural in order to extend its life cycle design, through strategies and constructive solutions that ensure both the convertibility of the space in response to changing usage and the use of building materials that encourage the reversibility and the long-term easy maintenance of the technological choices that have been implemented. The flexibility of the user's creature and the flexibility of the creature's architect. It is not necessarily a way to achieve flexibility through a form or a steady rotation path, but it can be by organizing the spaces effectively and giving the user the right to choose between spaces, as well as the clever use of building systems that support multi-functionality of the space. They achieved spatial flexibility. The purpose of this research is to study the idea of spatial flexibility in a library, documentary and overview method. Also, the challenges ahead in achieving the flexibility of spaces and providing solutions for space flexibility by examining some of the historical examples implemented in architectural flexibility is to find a pattern for designing spaces.

Abstract

This research probes the performance of Map Ta Phut Industrial Estate, with a focus on its compliance with Thailand's environmental safety and standards and its potential environmental impact in the area. Map Ta Phut Industrial Estate is a major industrial estate and the most prominent international port located in Rayong province, eastern Thailand. It started its operation in 1988 and still in use today. Between 2007 to 2012, coastal seawater and sediment samples were collected and analyzed. The samples were collected from various pollution emitting point sources of interest. Coastal environmental changes and marine ecology changes were observed, compared, and analyzed. Contour maps representing several crucial water quality parameters with trend analysis comparing every data with time-series trend and location were also visualized on the system. These parameters were selected based on their impact on the environment and living species and the information they gave when a change in the level of each parameter occurs. The coastal environment in the dry season was generally better than in the rainy season, impacting the amount of land contamination leaking into the coastal areas. This research also studied the level of mercury and arsenic, in sediment and seawater. These pollutions can have severe consequences if not treated properly. However, Map Ta Phut's pollutions mostly stayed within Thailand's standard during the period of this study.

Keywords: English class observation; Students-Teacher Interaction Observation; Classroom Environment; Foreign, Language Interaction Analysis (FLINT).

Abstract

This work investigates the influence of class observation by an outside observer on the interaction in the class environment between teacher and learners which can cause the efficiency of class and learning process. To this end, 90 English language learners at a pre-intermediate level were selected from an English Language Institute in Tehran (Safir) based on Oxford Placement Test (OPT) and were distributed into two groups of 45, one as the control group and the other as the experimental one. Each of the groups was also divided into three classes of 15. Three teachers taught both the control group and the experimental one. The classes in the control experimental were observed by the institute supervisor for 3 times during the term while the classes in the control group were not. At the end of the term, a questionnaire developed based on Brown's (2001) framework adopted from Moskowitz (1971), known as Foreign Language Interaction Analysis (FLINT) was distributed to the study participants in both groups, to which they were supposed to provide answers on a five-point Likert Scale: (1) strongly disagree, (2) disagree, (3) no opinion, (4) agree, or (5) strongly agree. Both the descriptive and the inferential statistical analyses of the results of the study showed that the classes observed by an outsider outperformed the classes without observation with respect to interaction between the students and the teacher. Furthermore, the analysis of the focus group interview done on both experiment and control group showed that the classes on with observation were more interactive than the one without observation.

Abstract

Recently, Iranians are getting through the critical economic situation in which many businesses are affected. In such economic disturbance, it is the main concern of most companies to reduce expenses by any means available to survive and overcome stagnation. Organizations have to utilize expense reduction approaches and introduce services with minimum cost. Amongst these, banks and financial institutions also have utilized e-banking methods for reducing expenses to survive and expanding their activities in domestic and overseas markets. Since the mere presence of customer has some expenses for banks, developing electronic bank services and consequently presenting services such as internet banking is a good approach for reducing expenses, increasing banking operations' speed, introducing various services, and expanding the availability of banking services, attracting customers and increased earnings. This study determines effective parameters on e-banking education using social networks' capacities and addresses following factors as major parameters: E-banking software infrastructure, E-banking hardware infrastructure, responsiveness toward the customer, customer support, and transaction security.

doi: 10.14456/ITJEMAST.2019.77

Keywords: Tax planning; Tax optimization process; Tax analysis; Tax policy; Commercial organizations; Russia business tax law.

Abstract

All points of tax optimization involve the competent use of tools allowed under Russia current legislation. They do not involve fraud or concealment of income, but, nevertheless, will significantly reduce the actual tax burden. For each tax, as well as for simplified tax systems, there is more than one possibility of legal tax optimization, which is a competent separation of business, as well as all business transactions. Such possibilities of optimization are allowed by law, however, have a number of restrictions. The key problem of optimizing the tax burden is the high awareness of tax inspectors regarding the main schemes of optimizing the tax burden. A separate set of problems is the underestimation of the awareness of tax inspectors, as well as the seriousness of the trials, which inevitably leads to significant losses.

Abstract

In this research, optimization and design of fluid flow in a centrifugal pump is investigated and modeled using numerical analysis of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and FLUID. First, geometry simulation is done using Gambit program and developing the geometry of the pump considered. After meshing fluid volume for mathematical analysis and then defining the volume of control in accordance with conditions, the simulated pump is ready to be implemented in ANSYS FLUENT�. Then, the results obtained from FLUENT are investigated to optimize the pump performance in group inference using GMDH neural network model (Group Method of Data Handling). Finally, using polynomials related to efficiency and net positive suction head (NPSH) associated to geometric variables by parametric functions that are introduced as neural networks, multi-objective genetic algorithm is used to optimize centrifugal pump based on two objectives of increasing pump efficiency and decreasing NPSH, which according to Pareto Front, as one of the best approximations, will result in optimal design of the pump.

Keywords: Tourism knowledge; Tourism Education; Social Studies curricula; Tourism trend; Tourism concept; Tourism skill.

Abstract

This paper explores the relationship between tourism education dimensions and improved awareness of tourism among students in intermediate and secondary schools in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The relationship between the items of tourism education dimensions and improved awareness of tourism is examined in this study. The proposed framework suggests that there exists a potential relationship between these items (knowledge, concepts, skills, and trends) and improved awareness of tourism. This is significant to the curricula developers and General Authority for Tourism and National Heritage regarding the need for curricula development to enhance prospects of cooperation between them in the education sector. This, in turn, leads to enhancing the flow of students from general education that have more information in the field of tourism. The paper concludes that the Ministry of Education should devise and implement more students’ activities and reforms, which would plug in social studies curricula on knowledge, concepts, skills, and trends in the field of tourism.

Abstract

Privatization, stock market development, insurance and credit system improvement generate the demand for a new type of services such as business valuation, valuation of company, its assets, capital and liabilities in the current highly competitive market. Appraisal of the company's value enables to evaluate the company's reserves and potential in the modern economic environment; this, in turn, contributes to the increase of competitiveness in general. Appraisal of value of any property item is a well-ordered process focused on the appraisal of monetary value of such item subject to potential and real income generated by it at a certain point in time and in a specific economic environment. In this paper, the authors analyze the characteristic features of company merger and acquisition (M&A) transactions in the contemporary context, using the methods of scientific generalization. Various classifications of synergetic effects resulting from the conclusion of such transactions are studied. Special attention is paid to the innovative synergy because the innovative impulse for the majority of companies is an important drive to make integration deals. After the completion of the M&A transaction, the acquisition of a target company with an effective innovation patent portfolio generates a significant profit and a high value of the acquiring company’s shares. It is noted that mergers and acquisitions are the basic ways to consolidate capitals of two or more companies in order to maximize the capabilities and use the maximum potential to achieve the main goals of the companies.

Abstract

This research identified factors affecting official corruption, using questionnaires as a study tool. The reliability was tested via Cronbach’s alpha. The statistical population comprised of the staff in the financial department of the government tax office, municipality, social insurance, and county governor house in Tabriz, during 2014. There were 120 persons on the whole and 90 were chosen as our sample using a random sampling method. The results showed that in governmental organizations the most prominent 9 factors from among 25 (mentioned in the research hypotheses) factors affecting official corruption were as follows: the dominance of relations over regulations, hiring the workforce based on acquaintance and friendship, replacement of newer governments and vast changes, the existence of limitations and lack of political freedom, lack of clear and transparent rules, incomplete control, the existence of wide and long bureaucratic systems, weakness of moral beliefs and humane values, low incomes regarding inflation and high expenses. With a comparative study of the characteristics of Weber's bureaucracy and from this study, we can conclude that if we utilize bureaucracy principles properly we will encounter lower levels of official corruption in offices.

Abstract

Winter cold is one of the main environmental factors limiting the production of grapes in Iran. Grape cultivars belonging to the Vinifera species are very sensitive to winter cold and depending on the cultivar, they are usually affected by cold damage in the range between -15°C and -20°C. There is genetic diversity among cultivars and even clones of a single cultivar with regard to cold tolerance. In this research, the cold tolerance of several cultivars of foreign and domestic commercial grape cultivars was evaluated. One-year-old 8-buds canes of the studied genotypes were harvested from the vineyards of the Urmia Kahriz Horticultural Research Station after the fall of leaves and they were placed a freezer temperature below zero (-15°C, -18°C, -21°C, and -24°C and 4°C as control). After applying the treatments, the number of open buds in greenhouse conditions and the rate of primary and secondary buds death were determined. Moreover, the electrolyte leakage of the buds and canes was measured. With increasing cold intensity, damage to primary and secondary buds increased and there was a significant difference between the cultivars in cold tolerance. Domestic cultivars showed a higher tolerance than foreign cultivars. Among the foreign cultivars, two cultivars of Thomson Seedless and Superior were more tolerant to cold. The results of this research are valuable in terms of determining the new seedless cultivars with a higher tolerance for cultivation in relatively cold weather regions.

Abstract

The competitive advantages of an organization in a modern economy are moving from material resources to intangible assets. According to experts, a significant part of the value of a firm in developing countries is based on intellectual assets, and the source of global prosperity is an intangible component. Forming the intellectual potential (IP) at an organization gets an important role. Despite numerous publications on this issue, it has not been fully studied, and some problems need more in-depth examination. The aim of this article is to study the intellectual potential in the aspect of its definitions and an elemental structure and on this basis to develop a version of the intellectual potential system, including the most important categories. A system analysis of the IP categories, its structure and development of a structural model on this basis. After analyzing the existing definitions, a definition of the category "intellectual potential" was suggested, including a system of theoretical, applied and experimental knowledge, with an appropriate supporting infrastructure that is necessary for effective intellectual activity in comparison with the best practices in this field and innovations that ensure the competitiveness of an organization. The key (basic) elements for the effective functioning of the intellectual potential are a knowledge system, a supporting infrastructure, and innovations. An IP system has been developed that includes the most important categories. It can be useful for management and information support of an organization. The materials of the article may be useful to researchers for further study of the problem of the IP in the regional and sectoral aspects, as well as to the heads of organizations in practical terms to justify and form corporate and competitive strategies of an organization.

Abstract

Renal diseases are among the most common diseases in cats. Understanding the size of the kidney is important in evaluating kidney disease. Researches have shown that measurements of kidney length are possible using ultrasonography with high repeatability. The objective of this study was to measure kidney to abdominal aorta ratio using ultrasonography to determine kidney size in healthy domestic shorthair cats. The study population included 35 domestic cats referred to a private animal hospital in Tehran for a yearly checkup. Healthy cats based on biochemical factors were selected regardless of age and sex and were positioned on the back. Ultrasonography was conducted using a linear or sector transducer through skin contact and ultrasound gel. Quantitative data from the study were analyzed using SPSS® version 21 software by paired t-test. The correlation coefficient was analyzed based on a significance level 0.05. The results showed that there was no significant difference between the average length of the right kidney and the left one. The ratio of the right kidney's length to aorta was 9.12, and it was 8.88 for the left kidney. In addition, the ratios of right and left kidneys' width to the aorta were 5.25 and 5.24, respectively. The result found that the ratio of the length of the kidneys (both left and right) to the average diameter of the aorta in the cats was 7.12-11.35, and this ratio was about 4.25-7.05 for the width of the kidneys to the diameter of the aorta. It was necessary to compare the size of the kidney with a different structure separate from the spinal cord. Therefore, the ratio of kidney size to the diameter of the abdominal aorta was used in this study..

Abstract

Hospitals are facing a wide range of challenges regarding healthcare quality, efficiency, and costs of services. Considering the importance of hospital holding in effective and efficient hospital governance, we aimed to identify the key factors affecting in the hospital holding governance of the Iranian Social Security Organization (ISSO) and designing a suitable model. This descriptive study was performed in two qualitative and quantitative stages. First, factors influencing hospital holding governance were extracted through literature review and interview with 15 experts in the field of hospital governance, and a proposed model was designed. Then, a questionnaire was developed and data was collected from 405 experts in the staff-and-line sector of the ISSO across the country. The research model was analyzed using exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses in SPSS® and AMOS® software. Five factors influencing hospital holding governance were identified, including strategic planning, decision rights, financing, monitoring and evaluation, and accountability. Decision rights, with factor loadings of 0.83 and 0.44, had the most and least significant effects on hospital holding governance, respectively. This finding revealed that, for optimal hospital holding governance, while considering all five factors, financing and monitoring and evaluation should be emphasized.

Abstract

Micro Grid known as the building blocks of Smart Grid is the small-scale distribution network with at least one DER and one load with clearly defined electrical and geographical boundaries. Inherent merits of MG cause that DER penetration in the network increases considerably. New trends of EVs with two-way power flows, considering the variability of time, location and amount of charge, has introduced varies challenges and opportunities for power system which causes that, proper management and operation is required to the merits of EVs. On the other hand, high penetration of renewable energies in smart distribution network with uncertainties, adds to the complexity of network operation. In this regards, in this thesis, optimal operation of MG in the presence of EVs uncertainty and also uncertainties of photovoltaic as a dominant distributed generation, is aimed. The proposed scheme aims to supply the consumers demand in possible lowest costs and simultaneously preserving network constraints. In the proposed scheme, Genetic Algorithm as an efficient tool is used to find the optimum solutions. In order to clarify the effectiveness, the proposed scheme and to show the accuracy of the results, simulation studied is done on a sample MG and the results are discussed.

Abstract

Good governance, a key concept of public management, integrates and coordinates governmental and managerial sets and all relevant stakeholders so that it can provide reforms to improve the living conditions of all citizens. This concept has been raised frequently in modern public management, but it has been neglected in the health system. This study aimed to explain good governance in Iran's health system. This qualitative study used inductive content analysis. Participants were ten experts in the field of health. The study method was purposive. Semi-structured interviews were conducted to collect qualitative data. The findings were analyzed using MAXQDA®11 software. This research, ten components (dimensions) and 55 sub-components (factors) of good governance in the health system were explained. The dimensions were: participation, rule of law, transparency, accountability, equity, efficiency and effectiveness, responsiveness, consensus orientation, health orientation, and decentralization. Iran's health system has undergone profound changes over the past decades, but it is faced with many challenges regarding good health governance. The lack of decentralization and consensus between intrasectoral and intersectoral institutions, lack of stakeholder participation in policy and decision making, lack of transparency and responsiveness, lack of equality of stakeholders against the law, and treatment-orientation instead of health-orientation have been the most important challenges. Despite the 2014 Iran�s promotion of health system, there is still a long way before the components of good health governance are realized.

Abstract

This study presents problems impeding the development and implementation of Russian innovations in agricultural production. The main problem is the financing of innovation, due to a low proportion of public resources used in the creation and implementation of innovations. In comparison with the developed countries, the amount of state financing for innovations in Russia should be increased by ten times. In addition, working funds to support scientists in a global sense do not solve the problem of new scientific knowledge financing, not to mention the implementation into the real sector of the economy. A small share of public investment in innovation does not contribute to the solution of the problem of advanced innovative development. In addition, the public-private partnership helps to attract innovation in the real sector of the economy in all developed countries but does not work in Russia as it. lacks state regulatory functions for this. This study identifies factors and trends that do not contribute to the effective and advanced development of the economy in terms of its innovative development. The need to increase domestic spending on research in agriculture by 5-7 times is substantiated. Negative trends in the reproduction of scientific personnel are revealed. This is the lack of financial motivation to work in the scientific field, inefficient system of postgraduate and doctoral studies. It is proved that the impact of grant support on the level of research funding, which is not more than 6.2% in domestic research costs, is insolvent. To alleviate the problem of innovative activity of economic entities, it is necessary to develop a targeted agricultural innovation policy that determines the goals, objectives, and mechanisms for its implementation, taking into account the priorities defined by the Russian Federation, as well as foreign experiences.

Abstract

The relevance problem of import substitution is explained with the practicability of using a systematic approach to analyze the real state of the Russian economy. This article provides a brief historical background on the origin of the idea of import substitution in the XVIII century and its further development.

Abstract

The relevance problem of import substitution is explained with the practicability of using a systematic approach to analyze the real state of the Russian economy. This article provides a brief historical background on the origin of the idea of import substitution in the XVIII century and its further development. It considers its essence as a response to international sanctions imposed by the USA, the EU, and their allies. Noting that import substitution should be distinguished from protectionism, which is based on different aims. The mechanisms of import substitution by three main categories are indicated. There is a list of rules that must be followed when developing strategies for import substitution. The article highlights the negative effect of the sanction imposition, reflected on the Russian foreign trade in 2016�2017, compared to 2013, as well as on the supply of high-tech investment products. Also, it gives particular examples of the current situation in some spheres of economic activity and identifies threshold requirements in industrial production in the world practice and Russia. Focusing on the effective re-equipment of the Russian economy, it is necessary to manufacture competitive labour tools in a certain order: from the production of labour tools for the machine-tool industry to their production for the engineering industries and to the production for other sectors of the economy.

Abstract

This research investigates the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) Version 3 Global 30m produced by The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). As one of the free download data sources from the internet, it is widely used for topographic mapping with global scale of accuracy from North America and Europe test sites. However, there is lack of local accuracy assessment and verification for SRTM data as in Southeast Asia and Thailand due to the absence of Global Positioning System (GPS) benchmarks used as sources of Ground Control Points (GCP). This research used GNSS L-band global correction service ATLAS? (Hemisphere) for building the GPS trajectory as a source of GCP for assessment and improving accuracy of SRTM Version 3 data. The result shows that absolute vertical accuracy was achieved less than Vertical RMS 1.3 meters in comparing with relative vertical RMS 8.7 meters in Euro-Asia continent accuracy scale as announced in SRTM data specification. These results and method can be useful for engineers who apply DEMs for various applications such as updating topographic map for landscape design and rural - urban development project in Thailand.

Keywords: Manual method; Numerical value; Proportionality factor; Invariance principle; Electrical formula; Conceptual model; Normal steady-state mode of power lines; Mathematical static model.

Abstract
The purpose of the paper is to develop a new calculation method. The subject area of the study is the calculation of the steady-state mode of a three-phase high-voltage overhead power line. The basis of the method is simple mathematical models that make it possible, in the presence of three initial data with a high degree of reliability, to manually calculate many electrical parameters, and to verify electrical calculations, including those made using computer programs. The key component of the models is the proportionality factor, which takes a different numerical value for each of them. The hypothesis for the development of the method was the application of the invariance principle to the basic laws and known relations of electrical engineering. The method is simple, operative and successfully verified. The hypothesis is proven. The calculation error when applying the method is less than 2%. Software systems are not required for the implementation of the method. According to the results of the study, conclusions were made and practical recommendations were given. The prospects for further research were presented. The method can be used by experts, engineers, and students of electrical power and electrical engineering programs of higher education institutions.

Abstract

This paper considers the possibility of applying the methods of the Chebyshev interpolation theory in predicting evapotranspiration, which allows obtaining more accurate predicted values. As a result, it optimizes the parameters that provide significant savings of resources. Conducted theoretical studies let us propose a method for constructing a predictive indicator of evapotranspiration, based on the problem of Chebyshev approximation, and also construct the indicative curves for alfalfa. Comparing the results of traditional procedures based on classical regression methods with those calculated by the proposed method gives a good match. It confirms the accuracy of both the adopted method and the reliability of the dependencies obtained.

Abstract

This study presents problems impeding the development and implementation of Russian innovations in agricultural production. The main problem is the financing of innovation, due to a low proportion of public resources used in the creation and implementation of innovations. In comparison with the developed countries, the amount of state financing for innovations in Russia should be increased by ten times. In addition, working funds to support scientists in a global sense do not solve the problem of new scientific knowledge financing, not to mention the implementation into the real sector of the economy. A small share of public investment in innovation does not contribute to the solution of the problem of advanced innovative development. In addition, the public-private partnership helps to attract innovation in the real sector of the economy in all developed countries but does not work in Russia as it. lacks state regulatory functions for this. This study identifies factors and trends that do not contribute to the effective and advanced development of the economy in terms of its innovative development. The need to increase domestic spending on research in agriculture by 5-7 times is substantiated. Negative trends in the reproduction of scientific personnel are revealed. This is the lack of financial motivation to work in the scientific field, inefficient system of postgraduate and doctoral studies. It is proved that the impact of grant support on the level of research funding, which is not more than 6.2% in domestic research costs, is insolvent. To alleviate the problem of innovative activity of economic entities, it is necessary to develop a targeted agricultural innovation policy that determines the goals, objectives, and mechanisms for its implementation, taking into account the priorities defined by the Russian Federation, as well as foreign experiences.

Abstract

The 2011 Thailand's flood crisis is one of the most severe unexpected events that occurred of the Central Plains of Thailand. This study proposes the extreme criteria for assessing the potential impact on the financial capability of a contractor who experiences a building construction of the government sector and is suffered from this disaster. The delays of the project consists of: (1) the delay causing by flooding for 48 days which resulted from the construction site cannot be accessed; (2) the delay causing by the period of time to solve the soil problems for 215 days and 261 days for the main and service buildings, respective; and (3) the contractor responsible delay obtained from analytical result is 22 days, which may cause by the shortage of some construction materials. The 55 percent of the construction budget is claimed as the extreme criteria for assessing the financial capability of a potential contractor for getting a job after such a serious natural disaster. Lesson learned from the rare disaster is finally presented into four categories.

Abstract

The development of scientific thought in the field of the content of such categories as "efficiency" and "effectiveness" in their relation to customs was considered on the basis of the literary sources analysis and regulatory legal acts. there was a conclusion made on the need for a normative consolidation of these categories in the form of complex performance indicators of customs authorities. In this context, the category of "efficiency" reflects the complex economic and social relations associated with improving the use of limited resources to obtain the maximum effect. In turn, the category of "effectiveness" of customs control reflects the degree of achievement of the goals set for the customs authorities. The methodological basis of the study was made up of individual provisions of economic theory, economic laws, and methods of analysis, forecasting, and modeling of processes. The study used general scientific methods of theoretical and empirical knowledge: analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, and analogy. As a unity of theoretical and methodological approaches, dialectical, comparative and systemic approaches were used, allowing analyzing the regulatory legal reality at various levels, including national and supranational ones. Scientific novelty: the article contains the first investigation of the relationship between the concepts of "effectiveness" and "efficiency" of customs control in terms of the set of methods used, and the author's definition and justification of these categories were proposed. Practical significance: the fundamental principles and conclusions of the article can be used in scientific and practical activities when considering issues of nature and development trends of the system of customs authorities in general and customs control, in particular.

Abstract

In a situation where there is a difference between financial statements and an actual profit of a reported economic unit, we use a concept called earning quality. One of the time series variables is the quality of earnings profitableness. Risk management is also defined as a method for minimizing the adverse effects of risk and on the other hand maximizing the benefits of risk effects. The main objective of the research is to investigate the effect of corporate governance and environmental uncertainty index on fluctuations in earnings using Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE) information. To investigate and carry out this research and calculate risk management and a regression model was used to test the research hypothesis. The research time period was 10 consecutive years from 2007 to 2017. For this purpose, 100 firms were selected by systematic removal method. The research hypothesis is carried out using data from these years. Using the generalizing research variables to other capital market variables, a suitable model for this issue was created. The result shows that there is no significant relationship between risk management and profit fluctuation.

Abstract

The study intends to understand and review the spatial organizations of a selected food bank and homeless shelter as representations of their respective typologies. The roles of these typologies, which heavily focus on providing support to the needy, is discussed at length. Methodology: The study is carried out by analyzing the space syntax of the case studies using measurable scale graphs. Through referencing source material and logical reasoning, the functions of the spaces are identified and mapped. The Larimer County Food Bank illustrates high segregation of circulation between different types of users. There is also significant prioritization to creating efficient flow throughout the building, which is most clearly illustrated by the provision of a catwalk for volunteers. The homeless shelter organizes its spaces using a central spine located on each floor. The use of corridors and sub corridors throughout the building helps define the different levels of access and privacy. This study shows the unique spatial structures of food banks and homeless shelters, revealing the nature of spaces designed to aid the needy.

Abstract

The study analyses the building space planning based on the level of permeability and wayfinding through the different types of users for the Sunset Park Material Recovery Facility, Malaysia. It is expected that various users may have the different level of permeability and wayfinding experience in the building. This study is executed by doing space syntax analysis of the building. Measurable scale graphs are used to study the level of permeability and wayfinding of the building. The results show that the Sunset Park Material Recovery Facility offers a different level of permeability and wayfinding on the other kind of users. Overall, truck and barge garbage collectors have an excellent degree of permeability and wayfinding; the same goes for the staff. However, for the visitors, the level of permeability and wayfinding at the first-floor level of the educational building is low due to inefficient space planning. This study finds that the different types of users may have different experiences of the building due to a different level of permeability and wayfinding.

Abstract

Point estimates are among the most widely used methods in estimation of the amount of recharge of groundwater. However, for precise quantification of the spatiotemporal variability of groundwater, a flexible and reliable method was needed. This study aimed to estimate the water balance components in the Hashtgerd plain using WetSpass water balance model, which is spatially distributed. Relevant input data for the model (e.g., rainfall, air temperature, soil, groundwater level, and slope) were gathered and transformed into digitized maps. In this research, an overview of the use of WetSpass model on the quantification of groundwater recharge has been presented. The obtained results from simulations have shown that the average runoff produced in Hashtgerd basin equals to 37.7 mm/year. Also, the maximum amount of runoff, produced by the areas with bare soil plus plants coverage and residential areas in cities and villages. Annually estimated evapotranspiration (ET) amount was equal to 352 mm/year. Moreover, annual recharge during warm and cold seasons was equal to 1% and 99% of the total yearly recharge in this basin, respectively. Finally, the results showed that the WetSpass could model all parts of groundwater components. Moreover, it can be an excellent tool to determinate the areas that there is recharge groundwater potential over there.

Abstract

The Royal Thai Survey Department released the Thailand geoid model of 2017 (TGM2017) for public uses in 2018. The model contains the latest gravity data sets from the terrestrial and airborne gravimetric survey campaigns across the country from April 2015 through June 2016. TGM2017 has been planned to support the height modernization system through the GNSS continuously operating reference station network of Thailand. In this study, TGM2017 was tested using 100 GNSS heights co-located with orthometric heights, referenced in the national Kolak vertical datum of 1915 (Kolak-1915). The testing results showed a 5-cm root mean square (RMS) with a mean offset of +0.011 m. For comparison purposes, EGM2008's had been tested using the same data set. Compared to these models, TGM2017 has a significant improvement of long- and medium-wavelength contents of the geoid.
