The project How to think about a place not yet concerns the mechanisms and attitudes adopted by the professional designer in an urban design process – i.e. how intuitive and affective response in a design process delimit the range of plausible designs. The affordances of the environment are suited to the particular acting space of an individual and communicate the possibilities and capacities for

In recent years, the flash flood occurs frequently and intensively. It has become a world-wide focus in the field of disaster prevention and mitigation. The flash flood critical rainfall determination method, flash floods forecasting model and experience forecasting method are the most commonly used methods. This study focused on the application of hydrological models for flash floods simulation.T

The Huang-Huai-Hai River Basin covers the major political and socioeconomic centers of China. Thus, flood protection and economic development by sustainable water supply are important. Due to this, it is imperative to study distribution and variation of precipitation characteristics under climate change. As hydrological observations are limited, scholars have done more research on daily, monthly,

Among the layers of a plant community, the canopy has the most important hydrological function in water circulation. Understanding the canopy’s inner structure and its relationship to water transport is fundamental for the functional mechanisms of the vegetation canopy. Using an artificial rainfall simulator to supply three levels of rainfall intensity, the interception of rainfall by the canopy w

The Galactic Center is one of the most dense stellar environments in the Galaxy and is considered to be a plausible place to harbor many neutron stars. In this brief review, we summarize observational efforts in search of neutron stars within a few degrees about the Galactic Center. Up to 10% of Galactic neutron stars may reside in this central region and it is possible that more than a thousand n

Understanding catchment behaviour through rainfall-runoff models allows decision makers for proper planning and operation in context of flood risk management. However accurate rainfall-runoff and flood modelling at high spatio-temporal resolutions still remains a significant challenge in any hydrologic and hydraulic studies. This study seeks to develop Hydrologic Engineering Centre’s Hydrologic Mo

The source region of the Yellow River contributes about 35% of the total water yield in the Yellow River basin playing an important role for meeting the downstream water resources requirements. Hydroclimatic trend and periodicity during the last 50 years were investigated to identify significant changes in time and space over the study area. Results showed that mean annual temperature increased fo

Root channel serve as one major type of pathway for water flow in forest soil. In this paper, we combined a dye tracer experiment and a monolith method to distinguish the fine roots (0 < d ≤ 5 mm) that served as preferential water flow pathways in rocky mountainous areas. The characteristics of these types of roots among different soil layer and different root diameter were discussed. In this modi

Energy deficiency is currently an emergency issue in society. Hydrogen has been considered an environment-friendly energy carrier with high energy capacity. Hence, in this study a simple and effective method was used to synthesize Cerium-oxide Nanowires doped with Reduced Graphene Oxide (CNW-RGO) via the hydrothermal reaction as hydrogen evolving catalysts. Results showed that the composite photoc

In many industrial sectors membrane fouling is a problem which limits the wider use of membrane processes. This article discusses a survey of experienced industrial membrane users and analytical equipment suppliers giving their views of in situ real-time monitoring of membrane fouling.

Institutional reworking, state-market-civil society synergy and participatory resettlement have created a spectacle for inclusive urban development with much celebrated academic focus on urban’s poor’s rights, entitlements and citizenship as approached through phenomenal ‘deepening of democracy’, ‘civic governmentality’ or ‘graduated urban citizenship’. At South Asia Across the Nordic Region 2019

I denna uppsats efterforskas svar på frågan om hur körledare gör för att lära ut körmusik på gehör. Inledningsvis presenteras tidigare studier som berör körlivet i Sverige samt gehörsinstuderingen i kör. Den teoretiska basen utgår ifrån sociokulturell teori, i synnerhet det sociala samspelet. I teorikapitlets avslutande del introduceras den didaktiska triangeln och begreppet distribuerade resurser

Den sjungande trappuppgången är en TV-serie i sex avsnitt på SVT med start 6 februari 2012. Med inspiration från engelsk förlaga handlar serien om experimentet, att samla en större grupp människor med olika ålder och bakgrund, boende i samma förortsstadsdel utan större kontakt med sina grannar, och tillsammans bilda en sångkör med målet att uppträda vid offentliga konserter.

Under Föreningen Sveriges Körledares konvent i Jönköping oktober 2009 debatterades musikens och särskilt sångens ställning i skolan. I debatten framkom en stark oro för sångens framtid bland barn och unga. Körledaren behöver öka sin kunskap för att kunna argumentera bättre för sång och körsång som en grundläggande erfarenhet och rättighet, menade man. Ofta tvingas körledaren själv förklara för bes
