Conspicuously Quotidian

The international style of Bauhaus was intended as a promotion of a new lifestyle and way of thinking. This promotional character of modernism, however, was an issue of critique and debate among the Danish modernist designers and architects over decades. They tried to define Danish modern design as product of a national tradition of modest, user-centred objects. As the Bauhaus directors also fought against the reduction of their project to a ‘Bauhaus Style’ or a commercial fad, this was perhaps a fight on words. Beyond the ideal of modest, no nonsense object convincing users through their mute form only, promotion did, of course, had to be part of Danish modernism as well. The design had to be conspicuous in its simplicity through some kinds of presentation to sell to a broader public. Especially in the writings of the Danish architect and cultural criticist, Poul Henningsen, we find a constant negotiation of the two sides of this issue, as he made rather advanced explanations and advertisements for his famous lamp system, the PH-lamp.

A Study on the Mechanism and Kinetic of Nitrate Reduction by the nZVI-g-C3N4/TiO2 Composite Under the Simulated Sunlight

g-C3N4/TiO2 composite has excellent photoelectric properties and is considered as a good carrier of nanoparticles. A novel composite of nZVI-g-C3N4/TiO2 was successfully synthesized through in-situ growth nZVI on the surface of g-C3N4/TiO2 with liquid phase reduction method. The composite was characterized by TEM, XRD, EDS and evaluated its nitrate removal efficiency. The effects of composite dosage, solution initial pH and HCOOH concentration on nitrate reduction were investigated. The results showed that nitrate was rapidly reduced by nZVI-g-C3N4/TiO2 composite. The dosage of 4 g/L nZVI-g-C3N4/TiO2 composite and 3.0 mM of HCOOH concentration was more suitable for nitrate reduction. Solution initial pH had little impact on the nitrate reduction efficiency, but affected the proportion of the nitrate reduction products. The mechanism of nitrate reduction in the nZVI-gC3N4/TiO2/HCOOH-Xe-lamp system was proposed. The nZVI-gC3N4/TiO2 composite could be considered as a viable and promising technology for water pollution remediation.

The Strategy of Simulation of Powered LED Lamp System (Solar Cell + Diesel Engine) For Traditional Fishing Vessels in Makassar

This paper deals with explaining the importance of higher education research that is directed to the design the strategy of simulation of powered LED lamp system solar cell in future fishing vessels. The principal aim of this research is the utilization of renewable energy with the use of solar cell technology as a driver of lux system on fishing vessels. This research was a panel solar cell yields its power is 100 WP. It is applied to implement LED lamp with its power 100 WP. This wind energy is environmentally (clean energy), economically (cheapest), easy to operate and easy to maintain, also renewable energy. The method of analysis is quantitative approach using one way classification (analysis of variance or design of experiments). The finding of this research is accepted the null hypothesis or not differ significantly at 5% from each independent variable. The scenario and the parameters during the strategy simulation powered LED, solar cell as a power generated by The F-count is higher than Ftable (3635,27 > 5,77), so H0 is rejected, it means at least there is one light intensity mean value that is produced by the different sun panel significantly on the real stage of 5%. It is expected to encourage and motivate the fisherman public in developing and applying this technology, so that it can upgrade the fish production quality and increase the economic value of fishermen society.
