Present endeavor is devoted to estimate the air-conditioning and heating energies or loads of modern buildings in Duhok City, Iraq using new mathematical models. Many parameters have been considered in current modeling, namely, area of building, number of storeys and types of the common materials of the building walls. Regression analysis is performed to formulate new mathematical linear and nonlinear models for the loads. In addition, Fuzzy logic is utilized in the third model employing Sugeno's regulation. The outcomes reveal that the reasonable matching is achieved between the proposed models and mechanical engineering analytical solutions of heating and air-conditioning standards. Consequently, high correlation coefficient as more than 85% is determined between the predicted values of the models and analytical results. The linear model shows perfect matching with the analytical outputs more than the other proposed mathematical formulations.

Opening Address

Common AssemblyThe third ordinary session of the Common Assembly of the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) reconvened from June 21 to 24, 1955. In his opening address Mr. Rene Mayer, newly elected president of the High Authority of the ECSC, expressed general agreement with the policy resolutions passed by the Common Assembly at its May meeting, and specifically mentioned resolutions on cartels, on implementation of the association agreement with the United Kingdom, and on action to improve the living standard of the workers in the ECSC countries, in regard to which he announced that the High Authority would shortly conclude two loans to finance new workers' housing projects–one of $4,000,000 in Belgium and the other of just over $4,000,000 in Germany. In addition, $300,000 were to be allocated for medical research. In commenting on the Messina conference of foreign ministers, Mr. Mayer said that the High Authority welcomed the decision to explore means of extending the single market. At the same time, he warned the Assembly to expect resistance to changes as the Community developed.

Radical Transformation

AbstractCommonwealthis the third book co-authored by Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri. As with the previous two books,EmpireandMultitude, the task of this book is to both critique the present order and provide the concepts for a radical transformation of that order. This review examines how this third, and final book in the series, changes the argument of the other two, specifically examining the rôle that the concept of the common plays in restructuring the idea of critique, politics, and political economy.

The “dramatic guilt” or the “tragic fate” differs, it is well known, from fate and guilt in the common sense of the terms. Fate is the equivalent of blind destiny, or of the whimsical decree or the general envy or malice of the gods towards men. This Fate foredooms the victim to some crime which brings a punishment in its train, or to a wholly undeserved calamity, which the Greeks were fond of representing as foretold but unavoidable. The ill-will of the gods had perhaps been incurred by an ancestor of the victim, but was wreaked upon the remote descendant to the third and fourth generation. In this curse of the gods we may see a poetical conception of an hereditary evil. Or on the other hand, in heredity we may see a modern and very real equivalent of the Greek decree of the gods, the “moira.”

The Relationship

Abstract The Question of King Herod's personal involvement in the Building Projects attributed to him was always one of the more dominant topics in the study of Herodian archaeology. The purpose of this short paper is to try and answer this question by researching and discussing the location of a ‘common denominator’ in the structure of Herod's “Landscape” palaces, through the study of the relationship each palace has with its surroundings. These palaces-the Promontory Palace in Caesarea, the Third Palace in Jericho, the Northern Palace in Masada and the Palace of Great Herodium-were chosen as case studies for their scale, architectural complexity and the unique connection they share with the landscape. While a close study of the interior of the palaces and their structural units show that each palace plan is unique and shares almost nothing in common with the other plans, a research of the landscape in which the palaces are located indicates that a common denominator to all four palaces can be found in the forms of the elements of water and the dramatic landscape. These two elements, combined with the uniqueness of the structures themselves, point to Herod's own involvement in the planning of the four “Landscape” palaces.

Let there be given, in a plane π, six (fundamental) points 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, of which neither any three lie in a right line, nor all in a conic; and consider the six conics [1] ≡ 23456, [2] ≡ 13456, [3] ≡ 12456, [4] ≡ 12356, [5] ≡ 12346, [6] ≡ 12345, and the fifteen right lines 12, 13,…, 16, 23,…, 56.There is a pencil of cubics 1223456 (curves of the third order, having a node at 1 and passing through the other fundamental points); their tangents at the common node form an involution, viz., they are harmonically conjugate with regard to two fixed rays. Five pairs of conjugate rays of this involution are already known; for instance, the line 12 and the conic [2] have conjugate directions at the point 1, for, they make up a cubic 1223456.

In an Enquiry which I addressed to you some years ago, concerning the death of Richard the Second, I took occasion to advert to the rumours prevalent after the date usually assigned to that event, relative to his supposed escape into Scotland, and his death and burial at Stirling. The story on which these rumours were founded, and to which no credit had been given by any English historian of established reputation, has lately been revived, and its truth defended with much plausibility and ingenuity, by Mr. Fraser Tytler, in an elaborate Dissertation subjoined to the third volume of his valuable History of Scotland. The name and authority of the writer would be sufficient to excite attention to his statements, even if they had not already attracted the notice of two of the most distinguished of his countrymen, though with different results as to the impression produced on them. Sir Walter Scott, on the one hand, has fully avowed his belief in the relation, while on the other, Sir James Mackintosh has, with equal decision, expressed his dissent from it. Had it fallen within the plan of the latter eminent person to state the reasons for his adherence to the common narrative more in detail, and with reference to the authorities on which they were grounded, any further attempt on my part to investigate the subject would have been superfluous. But, as the case now stands, I may be permitted to offer a more circumstantial reply to Mr. Tytler's arguments, bearing in mind the courtesy he has uniformly shown in his references to my former observations.

Model updating and validation is currently a central issue in the fields of computational structural mechanics and dynamics. The vast majority of applications however concerns linear structures. On the other hand, updating nonlinear models is something the structural dynamicist prefers to avoid mainly because tools such as modal analysis are no longer available. The objective of the present study is to propose a two-step methodology for dealing with nonlinear systems. Its most appealing feature is that it decouples the estimation of the linear and nonlinear parameters. A numerical application consisting of an aeroplane-like structure is used to assess the efficiency of the procedure.

Abstract Terms like to joke (and joking) and to tease (and teasing) have a curious double life in contrastive and interactional pragmatics and related fields. Occasionally they are studied as metapragmatic terms of ordinary English, along with related expressions such as kidding. More commonly they are used as scientific or technical categories, both for research into English and for cross-linguistic and cross-cultural comparison. Related English adjectives, such as jocular and mock, are also much-used in a growing lexicon of compound terms, such as jocular abuse, mock abuse, jocular mockery, and the like. Against this background, the present paper has three main aims. In the first part, it is argued that the meanings of the verbs to joke and to tease (and related nouns) are much more English-specific than is commonly recognized. They are not precisely cross-translatable even into European languages such as French and German. Adopting such terms as baseline categories for cross-cultural comparison therefore risks introducing an Anglocentric bias into our theoretical vocabulary. Nor can the problem be easily solved, it is argued, by attributing technical meanings to the terms. Detailed analysis of the everyday meanings of words like joking and teasing, on the other hand, can yield insights into the ethnopragmatics of Anglo conversational humor. This task is undertaken in the second part of the paper. The important English verb to kid and the common conversational formulas just kidding and only joking are also examined. The semantic methodology used is the Natural Semantic Metalanguage (NSM) approach, which depends on paraphrase into simple, cross-translatable words. Building on the NSM analyses, the third part of the paper considers whether it is possible to construct a typological framework for conversational humor based on cross-translatable terminology.

Insight Into

<p>This paper examines three communities that include common land in the community design. The common land provides natural habitat for recreational purposes along with privacy and a natural visual barrier. One of the three communities the commons arrangement fails after more than thirty years and the community sells most of the common land for private ownership. The other two are examples of successful commons where the community maintains the common lands and exhibits a growing commitment to the holding of common land. The paper examines why two of the three communities have success and prosper while the third fails. The findings provide insight into designs that work to maintain community common land and those that fail. </p>
