Our doors are open 364 days a year, and you have a standing invitation to visit us anytime. The Smithsonian Institution is the world’s largest museum and research complex with 16 muse- ums and galleries, plus the National Zoo. There is nothing quite like the Smithsonian on the planet. We welcome tens of millions of visitors every year; rightly so because there is so much to see and experience. The Smithsonian Castle is a great place to start your visit. Designed by James Renwick, Jr., and completed in 1855, the Castle is the Institution’s original home and the easiest land- mark to find on the National Mall. Inside you’ll find the Smithsonian Information Center, where friendly and knowledgeable volunteer information specialists will help you plan your visit. You’ll find interactive touch-screens with information about the Smithsonian and free brochures in various languages, along with scale models and electronic wall maps of the city of Washington. The Center’s hours are 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Because programs, SR-71 BLACKBIRD (ERIC LONG) events, and exhibitions at the Smithsonian are subject to change, it’s always a good idea to stop by the Center for the most current information. The treasured icons of our past, the vibrant art of the present, and the scientific promise of more to see, more to do, more the future are all at your fingertips at the Smithsonian.

  • Washington Dc Urban Rail Transit As a Case Study
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: ENHANCING RESILIENCE OF COMPLEX NETWORKS: WASHINGTON D.C. URBAN RAIL TRANSIT AS A CASE STUDY Yalda Saadat, Doctor of Philosophy, 2020 Dissertation directed by: Professor Bilal M. Ayyub Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering According to the United Nation’s Department of Economic and Social Affairs Population Division, 66% of the world’s population will reside in urban areas by 2050; a boost from 30 % in 1950. Urbanization has indeed triumphed and its speed has brought innovation and economic growth. Its synergies within infrastructure systems are undeniable and have increased the demand for such systems. However, urbanization is one reason infrastructure systems are knocked out of equilibrium and show complex dynamical behavior. Most infrastructure systems have been designed without planning for this magnitude of potential demographic changes; thus redesigns are long overdue. Also, climate change looms. Resource scarcity and host of other factors leave their impacts; all pose some incidence of perturbation in the state of the infrastructure system. These perturbations can affect the system’s resilience, which is a defining property of each system for remaining functional in the midst of disruption from adverse event. Therefore, it is essential to develop appropriate metrics and methods to enhance the resilience of infrastructures at the network level. Such enhancements are critical for sustainable infrastructure development that is capable of performing satisfactorily through intentional and/or stochastic disruptions. A resilience evaluation of a network typically entails assessing vulnerability and robustness as well as identifying strategies to increasing network efficiency and performance and offering recovery strategies ideally taken in a cost-effective manner.

  • Acknowledgments from the Authors
    Makers: A History of American Studio Craft, by Janet Koplos and Bruce Metcalf, published by University of North Carolina Press. Please note that this document provides a complete list of acknowledgments by the authors. The textbook itself contains a somewhat shortened list to accommodate design and space constraints. Acknowledgments from the Authors The Craft-Camarata Frederick Hürten Rhead established a pottery in Santa Barbara in 1914 that was formally named Rhead Pottery but was known as the Pottery of the Camarata (“friends” in Italian). It was probably connected with the Gift Shop of the Craft-Camarata located in Santa Barbara at that time. Like his pottery, this book is not an individual achievement. It required the contributions of friends of the field, some personally known to the authors, but many not, who contributed time, information and funds to the cause.
