It is based on an NBS Interim Report with the same title which was sent to national and multi-national stan- dards organizations for review and comment. The document shows the widespread adoption of the international building module of 100 mm (also designated as M) as a basis for dimensional rationalization in building design, production, and construction. The listing includes international (ISO) standards, multi-national (COP ANT, ICAITI, CMEA) standards, and national standards from all major countries. Brief summaries of contents have been included where available, as well as titles in English for documents published in other languages. Appendixes illustrate international cooperation on the subject, a multi- lingual vocabulary of 20 key terms, and review comments received. The main purpose of this publication is to assist the U.S. construction community by providing information on international precedent and, thus, to facilitate decisionmaking relative to new standards for dimensional [modular] coordination in building, especially those to be developed in metric (SI) units. Key findings have been summarized. The document may also assist exporters of building products and/or services. Additional information, revisions, or other changes will be included in future supplements. Key words: Building module; dimensional coordination; metric design and construction; modular coordination; standards. iii , SUPPORT IN THE PREPARATION OF THIS PUBL I CAT I ON This NBS Special Publication 595 supersedes Interim Report NBSIR 79-1791, which had the same title and is referenced as a source document.

  • The Portuguese Expeditionary Corps in World War I: from Inception To
    THE PORTUGUESE EXPEDITIONARY CORPS IN WORLD WAR I: FROM INCEPTION TO COMBAT DESTRUCTION, 1914-1918 Jesse Pyles, B.A. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2012 APPROVED: Geoffrey Wawro, Major Professor Robert Citino, Committee Member Walter Roberts, Committee Member Richard McCaslin, Chair of the Department of History James D. Meernik, Acting Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Pyles, Jesse, The Portuguese Expeditionary Corps in World War I: From Inception to Destruction, 1914-1918. Master of Arts (History), May 2012, 130 pp., references, 86. The Portuguese Expeditionary Force fought in the trenches of northern France from April 1917 to April 1918. On 9 April 1918 the sledgehammer blow of Operation Georgette fell upon the exhausted Portuguese troops. British accounts of the Portuguese Corps’ participation in combat on the Western Front are terse. Many are dismissive. In fact, Portuguese units experienced heavy combat and successfully held their ground against all attacks. Regarding Georgette, the standard British narrative holds that most of the Portuguese soldiers threw their weapons aside and ran. The account is incontrovertibly false. Most of the Portuguese combat troops held their ground against the German assault. This thesis details the history of the Portuguese Expeditionary Force. Copyright 2012 by Jesse Pyles ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The love of my life, my wife Izabella, encouraged me to pursue graduate education in history. This thesis would not have been possible without her support. Professor Geoffrey Wawro directed my thesis. He provided helpful feedback regarding content and structure. Professor Robert Citino offered equal measures of instruction and encouragement.

  • Athens Programme 2016. the Art of Building Cities
    città THE ART OF BUILDING CITIES. THE CRAFTS OF TEACHING Lorenzo Degli Esposti The city, conceived in the Albertian sense as a large house just like the house is a small city, can be understood – as a whole or in its components – as the antithesis of two poles: the solid and the void, articulated on one side by an indistinct mass 2 or defined objects, on the other by an open space or delimited envelopes of air. The Andrea Palladio, Pyramidal site, from The Four Books of Architec-building, the edifice in general can likewise be considered in dialectical pairs, of a ture, Book II-XVII, 1570 body seen from the outside as a “thing” and of an enclosed and contained space perceivable from within, or in other words of an envelope made up of architectural elements and an inhabitable room. Both the city and the building are therefore readable according to alternative and complementary methods, which are nevertheless not mutually exclusive; indeed the oscillation between them is the richness of the architectural experience. If we consider the building positioned in the city, the ambiguity of each term remains: we can understand it as an isolated object, independent from the indistinct urbanized mass, or in the more rarefied infrastructural landscapes of the contemporary metropolis, or vice versa we can bring together buildings that form groups and continuous perimeters of the blocks, delimiting streets and squares, in turn open-air, circumscribed rooms. This bivalent relationship between the buildings and the city is iconically depicted in the seventeenth-century plans of Rome designed by Nolli and by Piranesi: the former paints in the background undifferentiated urban fabrics carved by the streets and perforated by squares and the interiors of public buildings; the latter orchestrates celibate typologies that paratactically resemble one another, occupying the entire urban space up to occluding the streets in the establishment of an immeasurable architectural forum.

  • Author's Response
    Dear Tiziana Lanza, Thanks for your useful review and very interesting suggestions. Your indications have been really appreciated, and included in the new version of the paper. In detail: Abstract We followed all your suggestions. We deleted part of the affirmation “The high participation and sharing in social networks and the attendance by a very large and varied audience, mostly without a scientific background, at our live shows, demonstrated a great interest in the geological history, resulting relevant for the development of geo-tourism.” We agree that, since we still did not collect the feedback of participants in a systematic way, this phrase could convey the readers to expect numbers, graphics and tables in the following text. We added some words to stress the importance of the conservation of the natural heritage (as Reeve suggested). Answering to Reeve: the abstract explains that the paper concerns about a teaching method and we illustrate some case studies, where we create a personal connection for the geo-sites in question. We inserted not here, but in the text, some data coming from the YouTube channel and from social network. Objectives and methods We modified the title in “Motivation and Objectives”, and changed accordingly the contents of the paragraph. We insert some sentences trying to answer to the requests of Reeve in “need and relevance” (Why is this “new approach” needed and what might it achieve?). We avoided speaking of a “new” approach, but we stressed some aspects of the working method of “our” approach. We also tried to clarify the main aim of our work.
