Creativity is a wildly debated topic among scholars and practitioners, but one that lacks consensus. Many have tried to define, describe and explain creativity, its purpose, effect and use. Is creativity a personality trait you are born with, or can you learn to become creative? As a design teacher with a teaching practice focused on the skills of creativity, this is a relevant question, because i
Purpose: Using service-based logic as its theoretical lens, this study aims to approach residents’ place satisfaction in a novel way. The purpose is to explore residents’ perception of the place in which they live and to shed new light on their place satisfaction. Design/methodology/approach: The paper is based on explorative qualitative focus group research. Data were collected in two typical mun
Code-based cryptography is one of the main techniques enabling cryptographic primitives in a post-quantum scenario. In particular, the MDPC scheme is a basic scheme from which many other schemes have been derived. These schemes rely on iterative decoding in the decryption process and thus have a certain small probability p of having a decryption (decoding) error.In this paper we show a very fundam
OBJECTIVES: To simplify the previously published Nottingham 12-year risk prediction model for knee osteoarthritis (OA) and examine whether it can be used to predict the 40-year risk of knee OA in young men.METHODS: We included 40 118 men aged 18 undergoing military conscription in Sweden 1969-70. Diagnostic OA codes were obtained from the Swedish National Patient Register 1987-2010. The original N
Searches for new heavy resonances decaying into different pairings of W, Z, or Higgs bosons, as well as directly into leptons, are presented using a data sample corresponding to 36.1 fb-1 of pp collisions at s=13 TeV collected during 2015 and 2016 with the ATLAS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. Analyses selecting bosonic decay modes in the qqqq, ννqq, ℓνqq, ℓℓqq, ℓνℓν, ℓℓνν, ℓνℓℓ, ℓℓℓℓ,
“Mixing Metaphor” is a compilation of 12 chapters by prominent researchers, introduced by Raymond Gibbs, one of the main actors in the eld of metaphor studies. It is a highly timely contribution that lls a gap between the pre-theoret- ical notion of ‘mixed metaphors’, largely known to the (English-speaking) pub- lic as something to be avoided as it re ects poor style or even sloppy thinking, and s
An account of a poem inspired by a monument in the gardens of a stately home in Denmark.
BACKGROUND: Childhood cancer survivors have an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and diabetes mellitus. Because diabetes is a potentially modifiable risk factor for CVD in the general population, it is important to understand how diabetes affects the risk of CVD among childhood cancer survivors. METHODS: This study examined the risk of CVD among survivors with diabetes and 142,742 pop
Ethyl 2-methyl-1,3-dioxolane-2-acetate (CAS # 6413-10-1) was evaluated for genotoxicity, repeated dose toxicity, reproductive toxicity, local respiratory toxicity, phototoxicity/photoallergenicity, skin sensitization, and environmental safety. Data show that ethyl 2-methyl-1,3-dioxolane-2-acetate is not genotoxic. Data from ethyl 2-methyl-1,3-dioxolane-2-acetate show that there are no safety conce
This article uses Neil M. Denari’s HL23 condominium tower in West Chelsea, New York City, as the lens through which to focus on the architectural design pathway in discretionary reviews to negotiate architectural form and bulk restrictions. The argument states that creative architectural forms can appropriate an unorthodox site configuration in accord with planning objectives and that review proce
This paper elucidates a disciplinary context for an emergent buildingtype dubbed Accessory Dwelling Unit, or ADU. Today, ADU developmentsadd density to metropolitan Los Angeles by undermining the low densityprinciples of single-family residential zoning. Surfacing withinthe jurisdiction formally known as the City of Los Angeles, the ADUsupplements city planning in the transformation of suburbia. T
ZHUuGROUND14 was an architectural workshop pursued at the City University of Hong Kong, 17-19 May 2014, and in collaboration with the Research Institute for Experimental Architecture (RIEA.ch). Taking the retaining wall as intellectualcompound, the workshop engaged in a large scale modelling exercise, which had been orchestrated to improve the critical skills of the architecture students.

This article takes the plan drawing of Richard Meier’s Westbeth Artists’ Colony in Greenwich Village as a lens through which to examine a chain of events that formalised what today is referred to as loft architecture. Westbeth was the first legal loft building in the USA. Approved by the local planning administration in March, 1968, and completed in May, 1970, the building was the successful culmi
The proliferation of shadow housing in the post-suburban landscape of Los Angeles tells a story about the inadequacy of R1 zoning to respond to escalating calls for new and more resilient housing types. Neither romanticizing nor condemning illegal housing, this article takes the shadow houses of L.A. as context for a critical re-evaluation of the R1. By consulting the tools of architectural repres
