Tedesko’s Philadelphia Skating Club: Refinement of an Idea
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents new aspects of Anton Tedesko’s design for an important thin shell concrete roof. The study of this roof results from the examination of original engineering drawings and calculations which we present with the goal of promoting a greater understanding of the structural design of a major figure in the tradition of 20th century building. CE Database subject headings: Thin shell structures; Conceptual design; Historic sites; Roofs; Structural engineering; Technology transfer.

Dynamic Motion Graphs
References The synthesis of human motion sequences is a time-consuming task, even for trained artists. For that reason, being able to create a motion sequence from a rough, vague description is highly desirable. The goal of this work is to provide a uniform framework for synthesis of human motion from very sparse input data, i.e. sparsely distributed key frames. Our method requires few key fram...
متن کاملA comparison of VO2max and metabolic variables between treadmill running and treadmill skating.
The purpose of this study was to determine differences in VO2max and metabolic variables between treadmill running and treadmill skating. This study also examined VO2max responses during a continuous skating treadmill protocol and a discontinuous skating treadmill protocol. Sixteen male high school hockey players, who had a mean age of 16 +/- 1 years and were of an above-average fitness level, ...
متن کاملIce-skating and roller disco injuries in Dublin.
A comparative study was carried out on a series of 72 ice-skating and 57 roller skating injuries over a sixteen month period. The average patient age was 20.5 years in the ice-skating group and 16.5 years in the roller skating group. Females predominated in both groups accounting for 72% of ice-skaters injured and 77% of roller skaters injured. Ice-skaters sustained more serious injuries than r...
متن کاملThe Value of Journal Clubs in Orthopaedic Resident Education
1 Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA The journal club is considered a standard of medical education across many institutions and fields of medicine. Our hypothesis is that the systematic evaluation and/or critical discussion of articles in journal club can change resident perception of the articles and topics examined. We performed a pilot study in w...
متن کاملComparison of skating kinetics and kinematics on ice and on a synthetic surface.
The recent popularization and technological improvements of synthetic or artificial ice surfaces provide an attractive alternative to real ice in venues where the latter is impractical to install. Potentially, synthetic ice (SI) may be installed in controlled laboratory settings to permit detailed biomechanical analysis of skating manoeuvres. Unknown, however, is the extent to which skating on ...
