Abstract In this paper a case of three-layer wall and fitting windows is described. The walls outside layer are made of clinker brick. The public basis is a situation, which occurred in an office building. In this building was a water stain on the windows inside the upstairs part the building, during the rain. In project of the building there were no details of performing three-layer wall and fitting of windows. In Poland one did not described in detail the realization for windows installation in three-layer wall.

Stack Ventilation

This study involved a series of computational fluid dynamics simulations to evaluate the effectiveness of stack and displacement ventilation in providing better thermal comfort in an air-conditioned office building. To reduce energy consumption, the public area of the studied building is cooled by air from air-conditioned rooms with lower temperatures. The air, which is driven by buoyancy, then, flows outside through the multistory atrium. The simulation results indicated that displacement ventilation provides superior thermal comfort performance relative to stack ventilation. A design with a higher ceiling, a higher heat source and a lower inlet with cold air can substantially enhance the efficiency of displacement ventilation. Furthermore, handrails near the atrium play a crucial role because they help to retain cold air in the public space for a longer period, thereby contributing to a better predicted mean vote value.

Geoffrey Wainwright, as the senior archaeologist within English Heritage, has been at the centre of the decisions and debates over the future of the Rose Theatre site. He sets out here his view of the issues, and explains why English Heritage adopted a policy of enclosing the site within an open basement of a new office building; thus ensuring its preservation and securing the option of future presentation to the public.

Building Form

Abstract- Many of high-rise office buildings in Indonesia applies efficiency and effectivity of building form, cost, and time for construction as a number one priority. As a result, high-rise office buildings appears with a minimum-articulated form, and show the dominance by using glass materials as a facade. However, there are also high-rise office buildings that have an articulated form and its facades that are not dominated by glass, although they appear in small numbers. Wisma Dharmala Sakti Jakarta and Wisma Dharmala Sakti Surabaya are one of them. Moreover, both buildings were designed by foreign architect, Paul Rudolph. Based on the potentials of both buildings, this research focused on Paul Rudolph’s principles in designing high-rise office buildings in Wisma Dharmala Sakti Jakarta and Wisma Dharmala Sakti SurabayaLooking at the phenomena of high-rise office buildings in Indonesia as described earlier, this small number and the articulated form of high-rise office buildings designed by Paul Rudolph in Indonesia are interesting to be understood even more. The main purpose of this research is to reveal the relationship between Paul Rudolph’s design principles with buildings, which are Wisma Dharmala Sakti Jakarta and Wisma Dharmala Sakti Surabaya. Using an interpretative method in a qualitative research, this research utilized theories that helps understanding of an office building, theories that related to Paul Rudolph’s background and common thought about architecture, and also Paul Rudolph’s theory about determinants of architectural form as a literature study. Building’s Anatomy Theory is used as a surgical tool to disect the study cases, which happens to be Wisma Dharmala Sakti Jakarta and Wisma Dharmala Sakti Surabaya.Result of this research are six points of Paul Rudolph’s principles in designing high-rise office building which are: repetition, space, scale, rotation, light, and context. Implementation of Paul Rudolph’s design principles in both study cases can be seen in the dominance of rotation and repetition of building elements. The application of these two principles can fulfill all the three aspects of Paul Rudolph’s design ideal, which are form, context, and cycle.Benefit of this research is to enrich architectural vocabulary about design principles of a high-rise office buildings in Indonesia for the concerned educational institution, as a consideration and input to architects and the stakeholders to be more sensitive and critical in designing high-rise buildings in Indonesia, as a reference and study case about design principles of a high-rise office buildings for students, academics, architects, and the public with the focus of study concerned, and enrich the knowledge about Paul Rudolph’s design principles especially in designing high-rise office buildings in Indonesia for researcher. Keywords: Paul Rudolph, Design Principles, Office, Wisma Dharmala Sakti Jakarta, Wisma Dharmala Sakti Surabaya.

AbstractIf we want psychological science to have a meaningful real-world impact, it has to be trusted by the public. Scientific progress is noisy; accordingly, replications sometimes fail even for true findings. We need to communicate the acceptability of uncertainty to the public and our peers, to prevent psychology from being perceived as having nothing to say about reality.

A fire involving an electric service transformer and its cooling fluid, a mixture of PCBs and chlorinated benzenes, contaminated an office building with a fine soot. Chemical analysis showed PCDDs and PCDFs including the highly toxic tetra isomers. Guinea pigs were chosen as an experimental animal to test the soot's toxicity because of their sensitivity to these compounds, and the liver was examined because it is a target organ. The soot was suspended in 0.75% methyl cellulose and administered in a single dose by gavage at levels of 1,10,100, and 500mgm soot/kgm body weight. Each dose group was composed of 6 males and 6 females. Control groups included 12 (6 male, 6 female) animals fed activated carbon in methyl cellulose, 6 males fed methyl cellulose, and 16 males and 10 females untreated. The guinea pigs were sacrificed at 42 days by suffocation in CO2. Liver samples were immediately immersed and minced in 2% gluteraldehyde in cacadylate buffer at pH 7.4 and 4°C. After overnight fixation, samples were postfixed in 1% OsO4 in cacodylate for 1 hr at room temperature, embedded in epon, sectioned and stained with uranyl acetate and lead citrate.

The Court of Appeals of New York held, in Council of the City of New York u. Giuliani, slip op. 02634, 1999 WL 179257 (N.Y. Mar. 30, 1999), that New York City may not privatize a public city hospital without state statutory authorization. The court found invalid a sublease of a municipal hospital operated by a public benefit corporation to a private, for-profit entity. The court reasoned that the controlling statute prescribed the operation of a municipal hospital as a government function that must be fulfilled by the public benefit corporation as long as it exists, and nothing short of legislative action could put an end to the corporation's existence.In 1969, the New York State legislature enacted the Health and Hospitals Corporation Act (HHCA), establishing the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation (HHC) as an attempt to improve the New York City public health system. Thirty years later, on a renewed perception that the public health system was once again lacking, the city administration approved a sublease of Coney Island Hospital from HHC to PHS New York, Inc. (PHS), a private, for-profit entity.

In many respects, the least important part of the 1999 elections were the elections themselves. From the beginning of General Abdusalam Abubakar’s transition program in mid-1998, most Nigerians who were not part of the wealthy “political class” of elites—which is to say, most Nigerians— adopted their usual politically savvy perspective of siddon look (sit and look). They waited with cautious optimism to see what sort of new arrangement the military would allow the civilian politicians to struggle over, and what in turn the civilians would offer the public. No one had any illusions that anything but high-stakes bargaining within the military and the political class would determine the structures of power in the civilian government. Elections would influence this process to the extent that the crowd influences a soccer match.
