New Designs in Historic Context: Starchitecture vs Architectural Conservation Principles

Hindcasting vs. Historic Reconstruction

The goal of my article was not to review the Camp Lejeune (CLJ) modeling studies. Rather it was to use the CLJ problem as an example to highlight issues related to model complexities and to spark an open debate on when, where, and why we should limit model complexity. I would like to first thank Maslia and his nine co-authors for contributing to this debate. I believe this is an important debat...

Architectural Principles in Arthrodesis

a real advance in the surgery of the hip joint and when well performed has uniformly produced a large percentage of successes in the fusion rate. Mr. Brittain's technique has been modified or altered in several respects by others, but the soundness of his principle has generally been accepted without question. The same is true of his scapulo-humeral arthrodesis of the shoulder, although this is...

Architectural Principles in Arthrodesis

Architectural Designs in Molecular Constructions

In the first two articles of this series we saw how the structures and conformations of naturally occurring compounds could be determined. In the third and fourth we discussed the relationships between structure on the one hand and chemical and biological properties on the other. The fifth was designed to give you some practical experience in isolation of a few of these compounds from their nat...

Compositionality: its historic context

The aim of this chapter is to investigate the line from the 19th century, through Frege’s works, to the appearance of the principle of compositionality in modern sciences. It is shown that contextuality and compositionality were discussed at the beginnings of the 19th century, but that contextuality was favoured. Also for Frege contextuality was the basic principle and he always obeyed it. Alth...
