This chapter distinguishes between the digitization of existing archives and born-digital archives, which can be shown through the Canadian Centre of Architecture's (CCA) varying approaches to them. It explains that digitization is the process of converting information into a computer-readable digital format, in which the outcome is the digital representation of objects, documents, and images. It also mentions Mirko Zardini, who explains that CCA curators and conservators do not consider it reasonable to digitize an entire archive. The chapter shows different challenges for born-digital archives and their preservation that sets new obstacles. It discusses the encounter between the computer, the new design and communication tools it affords, and architectural practice that resulted in a significant change.

AbstractMass digitisation of the collections held by cultural institutions -galleries, libraries, museums, archives, have made available a huge amount of historical, cultural, informational resources in digital format, which are more and more used in educational activities. This paper describes some innovative non- formal educational activities developed around the Europeana1914-1918 archive between 2014-2018, where searching in big digital archives, gaming and improving the digital skills were key aspects.

Digital representation of odor has a basic principal of chemosensory organism of sensory molecules. A body organism responds to external odor environments. A body of animal/human perceives the odor in the form of molecule structure. But the questions still arises how that odor molecule is presented in the digital format. Also how it act a specific odor behavior. The mechanism used in animal/human body is to solve the problem as per thought process level. Thought process retrieve the stored molecule of odor in a visual smell. Similar concepts are carrying forward to store in a computer system with the help of electron. The system is applied to perform Machine-learned odor recognition from physico-chemical properties of volatile molecules. The properties of volatile molecules are to match the pattern of chemosensory organisms. Artificial intelligence is used to predict the molecule of smell by applying neural network. This paper focuses on the behavior of odors and its digital representation techniques for olfactory features.

Title: Architect Practice in Search of Balance in New Norm   Epidemic Covid 19 enforce us to retrospect our everdayness living, including how architects do for living and for the architectural practice. These condition makes some re- adjustement in architectural  program, in some level must renovate totally. The biggest problem in architect profession is the project coordination, because social distancing and large number of meeting member must reduced to minimal level. This condition pushs architects to review their working process in studio and on the projects field. Physical studio is no longer a good place to collaborate and must transform into the digital studio. Digital system become a bridge to connect between stakeholders and the architects. Digital tools and method becoming an extention tools for our eyes and sense. Digital methods and practices suddenly become a daily activities for every level in architecture firms, such as Big Data. The colabortive works in digital format become important, one of them is Building Information Modelling, works as collabortive tools in virtual digital studio. The coding and the scripting are the next language for architect must learn, beside the architecture itself. Within the epidemic, disruption of profession is not a discourse anymore, but a fact that must commenced. Creativity and colaborative is the survival tools in today harsh life .

The research investigates the term innovation and its role in elaborating architectural practice based on diffusion. The complexity of the architectural field compared with other fields shows a problem in explaining how innovations in architecture diffuse as a thought and act in a certain context of practice. Therefore, the research aims to build an intellectual model that explains the way personal thoughts resembled by unique models introduced by creative and innovator designers diffuse in a certain pattern elaborate these models into a state of prevailing thought resembled by the movement in architecture. The research will apply its model to the more comprehensive movement in architecture, which is the modern movement, for model verification and enhancement. The research concluded that innovation in architecture is about the continuity of events defining the innovator's roles in a time pattern. With this continuity, the innovative models developed into styles and currents within a major thought elaborates, if communication tools and external factors were provided, into a "movement" leading the architectural practice framing its aesthetical and spatial preferences.

Summaryɛ(γ-glutamyl)lysine isodipeptide has been detected in normal human plasma by a sensitive HPLC technique in a concentration of 1.9-3.6 μmol/1. Incubation of in vitro clotted plasma at 37° C for 12 h resulted in an increased amount of isodipeptide, and there was no further significant change when streptokinase was also present. Increased in vivo isodipeptide concentrations were also observed in hypercoagulable states and during fibrinolytic therapy.

SummaryDuring “spontaneous” activation of a human euglobulin preparation in suitably spaced samples — while plasminogen became progressively converted into piasmin — the proactivator content was tested by addition of equal amounts of streptokinase and evaluation of the lytic activities on heated and normal bovine fibrin plates. Indepedently of the decreasing content of plasminogen the proactivator which could be activated by streptokinase showed no significant change of concentration. These observation indicate that plasminogen is not acting as proactivator and that there exists a separate proactivator-activator system of the fibrinolytic mechanism in human serum.
