  • Narrative Structures: the Creation of Meaning Through Reference and Collage in Architecture
    Narrative Structures: The Creation of Meaning through Reference and Collage in Architecture A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE DIVISION OF RESEARCH AND ADVANCED STUDIES OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CINCINNATI IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARCHITECTURE IN THE SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE AND INTERIOR DESIGN OF THE COLLEGE OF DESIGN, ARCHITECTURE, ART AND PLANNING 2012 BY AMANDA MOSCHEL B.S., UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS URBANA - CHAMPAIGN, 2009 COMMITTEE FIRST CHAIR: ARATI KANEKAR SECOND CHAIR: MICHAEL MCINTURF THIRD CHAIR: JIM POSTELL ABSTRACT he journey is a powerful catalyst wherein characters pass from T one physical or personal place to another. However, the adventure and excitement of the literary journey is often lost in the monotony of the daily commute and through preoccupation with the destination. Public transportation can be a passive affair, and the nature of transportation can render the travelers personally idle despite the physical movement. This reveals an opportunity to engage with the path and transform the commute into a journey through which people may directly traverse or wander aimlessly. This thesis proposes that a narrative intervention can elevate an ordinary transportation route into a stimulating and challenging journey by layering into the architecture different meanings and multifaceted interpretations of the story and storytelling process that can be interpreted differently by each individual. This will use narrative content as a generator for the design of sixteen transit shelters along the new Cincinnati Streetcar route and will tell the story of White Hawk and the Sky Sisters, a Shawnee ethnoastrological myth originating in the Ohio River Valley.

The theoretical focus is on designing algorithms that can run asynchronously, allowing computing nodes to execute their tasks with stale information without jeopardizing convergence to the optimal solution. The first part of the thesis focuses on shared memory architectures. We propose and analyze a family of algorithms to solve an unconstrained, smooth optimization problem consisting of a large number of component functions. Specifically, we investigate the effect of information delay, inherent in asynchronous implementations, on the conver- gence properties of the incremental prox-gradient descent method. Contrary to related proposals in the literature, we establish delay-insensitive convergence results: the pro- posed algorithms converge under any bounded information delay, and their constant step-size can be selected independently of the delay bound. Then, we shift focus to solving constrained, possibly non-smooth, optimization problems in a distributed memory architecture. This time, we propose and analyze two important families of gradient descent algorithms: asynchronous mini-batching and incremental aggregated gradient descent.

  • The Life of a Computer Game Geek by John Reder Retrogaming Times Monthly - June 2005
    The life of a computer game geek by John Reder Retrogaming Times Monthly - June 2005 Looking back to my first memories of my fascination with computer gaming (Aside from my frequenting local Arcades and playing 'Space Invaders', 'Berzerk', 'Galaxian', 'Asteroids', 'Pac-Man', 'Wizard of Wor', 'Defender', 'Missile Command', 'Warlords', 'Galaga' and 'Tempest') I have faint grade-school memories of playing 'Pong' based TV games in the early 70's before I purchasing my first hand-held electronic game system called 'Merlin' somewhere around 1979 with money I won at a church festival. Merlin was a simple grouping of red lights that were touch-sensitive; it allowed you to play simple pattern based games. After Merlin I obtained a 'Coleco Football', 'Sub Chase', 'Battlestar Galactica', 'Simon' and then a cool robot (8 track tape player) named '2-XL'! Of course, this was all before I discovered a much more complex system by Magnavox named 'Odyssey 2'! Odyssey 2 introduced me to a whole new world of cartridge based, color TV gaming. I received if for Christmas in 1979, I believe it was the same year my younger sister received her 'Microvision'. Over the next few years I lost myself in all of the Odyssey 2 games that I could find. My favorites were 'Pick Axe Pete', 'War of Nerves', 'UFO', 'Quest for the Rings', 'Conquest of the World', 'Freedom Fighters', 'KC Munchkin' and 'Attack of the Time Lord'. I even tried my hand at 'Computer Intro' which taught me some basic programming concepts using assembly language. I convinced myself that the Odyssey 2 was a superior system (crappy ports like 'Pac-Man' for the 'Atari 2600' reinforced my self-serving belief system) but I was finally blown out of the water by the 'Mattel Intellivision' and later the 'ColecoVision'.
