Abstract The study aims to analyse the architectural typology and determine period of construction for preserved traditional mosques Quzzat Quarter in Old City Herat (known as Pearl Khorasan). Twenty-nine are located area, three which modern 26 traditional. Twelve out still exist have their landscape. Using analogy water cisterns mosques, we when each mosque was developed establish development ...

In homelessness research and policymaking, it seems to be axiomatic that single adults experience 3 temporally based types of homelessness: chronic, episodic, and transitional. We discuss problems with the theorization of this typology and with the research design, data analysis, and time-aggregated conceptualization and measurement of temporality in the empirical work supporting the typology. ...

The purpose of this paper is to present a new skyscraper typology which has developed over the recent years – super-tall and slender, needle-like residential towers. This trend appeared on construction market along with progress advanced structural solutions high demand for luxury apartments spectacular views. Two types constructions can be distinguished within typology: ultra-luxury super-slim...

The work we present may be considered as the consolidation of a methodology that was already outlined in the paper presented in the second M&D congress held in San Sebastian (1998). We establish that, in architectural design, the computer is only used in the last step in order to achieve the traditional Euclidean design in a more precise and comfortable way and to improve the quality of the han...

This research was initiated to investigate the capability of using lasers for crack detection in pavements. If such a capability could be developed it would be used to aid in obtaining and evaluating pavement distress and cracking information for the State's P.E.S. procedures, used for maintaining and evaluating pavements. The research effort has involved three stages. The first two stages were...

Caspases are well known for their role in the execution of apoptotic programs, in which they cleave specific target proteins, leading to the elimination of cells, and for their role in cytokine maturation. In this study, we identified a novel substrate, which, through cleavage by caspases, can regulate Drosophila neural precursor development. Shaggy (Sgg)46 protein, an isoform encoded by the sg...
