Site Design of Public Space under the Jenggolo Sidoarjo Flyover, East Java is reviewed from the Location Characteristics

This public open space under the Sidoarjo jenggolo flyover is known to be not optimal in its operations, both from zoning arrangements, number of visitors, and types of activities. Based on the results of the analysis, the most prominent activity in this area is the central street vendors that are made as a substitute for street vendors who used to sell along the shoulder of the road. The existence of this center PKL from its operational time and sales has decreased by 50 percent compared to before, this is because the operational time of the center vendors is only effective at night. In addition, what affects the lack of optimism is that there is an empty space under the overpass that is not utilized. The space is left empty so that it gives the impression of slums, darkness, and crime-prone, so that with this empty space can cause a negative image on that location. The analysis that will be carried out is by reviewing the negative and positive potential of the open space, as well as reviewing in terms of behavior and user needs based on location characteristics. The design method used is qualitative descriptive method. As for the analysis technique used using walkthrough analysis and SWOT techniques. The final result of this study is the concept of developing an open space design under the overpass with a character approach from the local location. So that efforts to optimize existing activities can be achieved

Confronting the Conundrum of Shared Space Street Design

This chapter discusses the challenges and debates related to the concept of Shared Space street design via demonstrating the case of the ongoing Masterplan development scheme of the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan) in Preston, North West England, United Kingdom. Based on hands-on experience, being involved with the project on multiple layers; in project management, working, and living in Preston City, the authors employ observational analysis methods to explore and reflect on the challenges UCLan Masterplan has faced, how it learned from the city’s most recent Shared Space development (the Fishergate Project), and they further expand on their prediction on how the project may influence the transformation of Preston’s public realm. This chapter aims to start a debate on how Shared Space tactics can lead to near-Car-Free urban zones and contribute to the enhanced people-focused urban experience

Design of the Spitzer Space Telescope Heritage Archive

It is predicted that Spitzer Space Telescope’s cryogen will run out in April 2009, and the final reprocessing for the cryogenic mission is scheduled to end in April 2011, at which time the Spitzer archive will be transferred to the NASA/IPAC Infrared Science Archive (IRSA) for long-term curation. The Spitzer Science Center (SSC) and IRSA are collaborating to design and deploy the Spitzer Heritage Archive (SHA), which will supersede the current Spitzer archive. It will initially contain the raw and final reprocessed cryogenic science products, and will eventually incorporate the final products from the Warm mission. The SHA will be accompanied by tools deemed necessary to extract the full science content of the archive and by comprehensive documentation

Thermal design of the space shuttle external tank

The shuttle external tank thermal design presents many challenges in meeting the stringent requirements established by the structures, main propulsion systems, and Orbiter elements. The selected thermal protection design had to meet these requirements, and ease of application, suitability for mass production considering low weight, cost, and high reliability. This development led to a spray-on-foam (SOFI) which covers the entire tank. The need and design for a SOFI material with a dual role of cryogenic insulation and ablator, and the development of the SOFI over SLA concept for high heating areas are discussed. Further issuses of minimum surface ice/frost, no debris, and the development of the TPS spray process considering the required quality and process control are examined

Exploring the Design Space of Immersive Urban Analytics

Recent years have witnessed the rapid development and wide adoption of immersive head-mounted devices, such as HTC VIVE, Oculus Rift, and Microsoft HoloLens. These immersive devices have the potential to significantly extend the methodology of urban visual analytics by providing critical 3D context information and creating a sense of presence. In this paper, we propose an theoretical model to characterize the visualizations in immersive urban analytics. Further more, based on our comprehensive and concise model, we contribute a typology of combination methods of 2D and 3D visualizations that distinguish between linked views, embedded views, and mixed views. We also propose a supporting guideline to assist users in selecting a proper view under certain circumstances by considering visual geometry and spatial distribution of the 2D and 3D visualizations. Finally, based on existing works, possible future research opportunities are explored and discussed.Comment: 23 pages,11 figure
