Essays on Lightweight

Retrieved from http://www.uncubemagazine.com/blog/9133113 Retrieved from http://www.uncubemagazine.com/blog/9133113 Trusses are engineering structures common for wide-span buildings like industrial buildings and sports centers with the purpose of reduction the consumption of materials and lightweight design. Figure 1 and Figure 2 show the first SANAA’s industrial building located at the Vitra Campus in Weil am Rhein. The architects of the building were Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa, and its project commissioner was Rolf Fehlbaum, chairman of Vitra. It has a diameter of 160 meters and is 11 meters in height. Inside, the building is divided into two parts for safety reasons. As ...

It is evident, and all would agree, that the house should be strong, durable, built quickly and at a relatively inexpensive cost. In most cases, disputes begin on the choice of building materials. Which would be stronger, thermal insulated, warmer – wood, brick, concrete, or polymer-based materials? Which of them are considered environmentally friendly and which are not? Until recently, metal, steel in particular was not part of the discussion on the material for the construction of the frame of an individual house. However, the development of energy-efficient technology, the translucent structures based on steel beams are built today even ...

Background research Artificial limbs (arms and legs) or the prostheses are intended to perform the degree of the normal function to the amputees. The mechanical devices enable the amputees to walk or to continue using the hand(s) as normal. According to research, artificial limbs date back in 600 BC when armorers created the first prostheses using cumbersome and inflexible iron. Artificial hands intricate imitations of the real hands. Amputees themselves started making their limps after losing such parts. Research shows some amputees lost arms and legs during civil wars and accidents. Indeed, the twentieth century has seen ...

Stainless steel is an important component in the modern industry having various uses in the industry. This has forced new developments in its manufacturing especially in terms of its composition. This can be the steel made from aluminum, manganese, and iron. All these materials makes the finished stainless steel product unique in terms of its composition, physical metallurgy, and other factors. This paper is going to discuss the development in stainless steel technology with regards to its composition in terms of the materials used. The materials that are going to be discusses are Al, Mn, and Fe. The paper ...

Lightweight block ciphers are cryptographic primitives that are considered to be easy on the computer resources. The structure, block size and the number of rounds of the algorithms allow faster execution with little demand for the computing resources. On the hardware lightweightness is measured based on the execution latency, the bandwidth on communication channels and the amount of energy the computing device requires for execution of the algorithm. Demand for lightweight algorithms in cryptography has been increased by the need to provide security for the upcoming pervasive information Technology Landscape which is highly dependent on small and cheap devices. ...

My research will examine techniques that optimize financial, environmental, quality, and energy aspects of contemporary architecture. The work of Norman Foster and Partners will be considered in detail. This award-winning firm has many high-profile projects concerned with energy efficacy. I will examine Foster designed buildings in order to better understand strategies for maximizing savings and encasing ecological conservation through passive solar design.

Principles of Passive Solar Building Design

Passive Heating is designed with Solar Geometry; solar geometry uses the natural path of the sun across the sky in both the summer and the winter to reduce the need for cooling by air conditioning, the provide ...

Introduction

Cultural diversity plays important roles in people’s identity. This is because cultures influence how people relate as well as how a society interprets its values. It is also through culture that nations are defined, for their identity is mostly founded in their cultures (Ruhl, 26). One country whose identity has had great influence from cultural basis is Canada. This paper looks into different aspects and features which are associated with Canadian culture. This is in consideration of Canada’s multicultural aspects with different traditions and customs derived from different people who form Canadian community. The paper attempts to ...
