Using Synthetic Climate Datasets for Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Design Problems

Location-specific climate datasets are required for the design and evaluation of a number of civil engineering projects. It requires huge effort to compile a multi-year quality-controlled climate dataset. In this paper, a method of generating simulated daily climate variables of interest from readily-available climate normal using a general purpose weather generator SIMETAW is presented. The accuracy of this method is assessed by comparing the climate datasets generated using SIMETAW with the recorded historical climate datasets for nine different sites across Canada with climates ranging from semi-arid to pre-humid. This comparison was done using visual presentations as well as statistical analyses of the two datasets. It was found that the multi-year daily climate datasets generated by SIMETAW using just 12 monthly climate normal values are fairly similar to the recorded historical climate datasets. The usefulness of SIMETAW-generated climate datasets was demonstrated by using them in numerical simulations of three different design problems, namely, infiltration into soils, swelling potential of an expansive soil, and soil cover design. From the results of these numerical simulations, it is concluded that the SIMETAW-generated multi-year daily climate datasets are satisfactory for use in the geotechnical and geoenvironmental problems of the kind simulated herein.

Typographical and Editorial Solutions as a Source of Hybridization in Polish Non-Fiction Literature

The article focuses on the selected examples of the blurring of a book’s genre status by means of specifi c editorial solutions, such as the use of a spatial layout of the text, the differentiation of fonts, the selection of printing paper, the cover design etc. This mechanism is discussed on the example of six experimental works of contemporary Polish non-fi ction literature. Books by Filip Springer and Jarosław Mikołajewski, bordering upon literary reportage, show how the use of typography enhances the formal hybridity or even amorphousness of the text. In turn, Mariusz Szczygieł and Wojciech Tochman, their documentary narratives, emphasize the mutual synergy between the physical components of the book, which undermines the standard genre classifi cation.

Zemlya almanacs as a Moscow variation on the Petersburg-based Shipovnik

The article tells the story of a rivalry between two remarkable nonperiodicals of the Russian Silver Age: the literary and artistic almanacs printed by Shipovnik [Wild rose] publishers (Petersburg, 1907–1917) and the Zemlya collections published in Moscow (1908–1917). Using the memoirs (including unpublished) left by employees of the two publishing houses and critical reviews from the early 20th c., the article pinpoints the reasons why readers perceived Zemlya as an analogue of Shipovnik. In the period from 1910 to 1917, the editor-cum-proprietors S. Kopelman (Shipovnik) and G. Blumenberg (Zemlya), neither with significant previous experience in the publishing business, made sure that their respective almanacs boasted stellar authors, a unique composition and cover design; however, Zemlya was consistently labelled as a cousin of Shipovnik. Such a description was caused by Zemlya directly copying the Petersburg-printed collections in its first issues (1908–1909), the special characteristics of the almanac as a publication type, and critical reviews of Soviet literary scholars.

Analisis Penerapan Prinsip Layout, Tipografi, Warna, dan Gambar Pada Sampul Majalah “Dinamika

This study aims to analyze and describe how the cover of the student press magazine "Dinamika" State Islamic University of North Sumatra applies magazine cover design based on the principles of layout, typography, and color selection and images. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method. The subject of this research is the student press magazine "Dinamika" UIN SU edition 29 to edition 50 with a total of 15 magazine covers using purposive sampling technique. The results of this study explain the number of magazine covers that apply the very good category layout principle as many as 5 covers (33%), 5 good (33%), 3 good enough (20%), and 2 cover (14%) less good. The application of the principles of typography in very good categories was 4 covers (27%), 6 good (40%), 1 (6%) good enough, and 4 covers (27%) not good enough. Color selection for very good categories was 7 covers (47%), good 3 (20%), good enough 4 (27%), and less good as many as 1 cover (6%). In the selection of images, there were 3 covers (20%), 6 (40%), 2 (14%) good enough, and 4 (27%) not good. Overall, the results of this study concluded that the quality of the application of the principles of layout, typography, colors, and images on the cover design of the UIN SU student press magazine "Dinamika" was categorized as quite good.
