Sustainable and Theory in Architecture

تعاملت الطروحات المعرفية في حقل العمارة مع تقابلات وتماثلات متنوعة لمفاهيم متعددة ضمن الحقل وضمن رؤى عديدة، ووضحت ذلك في اتجاهات مختلفة وظروف محيطه متنوعة. وهذا افرز اهميه دراسة اطر علاقة تماثل بين مفهومين رئيسيين في العمارة احدهما مفهوما معاصرا طرحته الكثير من الدراسات والبحوث الا وهو مفهوم الاستدامة مع مفهوم أساسي يعد عماد الجانب المعرفي في العمارة الا وهو مفهوم النظرية بامتداداته المعرفية.  يهدف هذا البحث لتعريف الأسس العامة لكلا المفهومين (الاستدامة والنظرية) مع عرض وتوضيح تفصيلي لبعض ترابطاتهما التفصيلية ضمن مسارات عده لتكون مشكله البحث المعرفيه (ضعف المعرفه المحددة عن تحديد جوانب التماثل بين مؤشرات مفهومي الاستدامة والنظرية كمفاهيم أساسيه في حقل العمارة) والهدف هو توضيح وتحديد تلك المعرفة ومن ثم التوجه لتشكيل الأطر النظرية ألممثله للحالة المعرفية الخاصة بهما وقد اندرجت ضمن ثلاثة مفردات رئيسيه لكلا المفهومين هي (الموقف العام، الهيكل التنظيمي، المؤشرات العامة) ليتم المقارنة بين نسب التحقق الأولي لكل منهما في ذلك ومن ثم تطبيق تلك الأطر على نتاج  معماري محدد تم اختياره بعناية ومن ثم عرض وتحليل ومناقشه نتائج هذا التطبيق واستكشاف وتوضيح حدود طبيعة علاقة التماثل والتقابل بين المفهومين والمؤشرات المتشابهة الخاصة بهما ليتضح ضمن الاستنتاجات قوه الموقف العام والهيكل التنظيمي للمفهومين ضمن الاطار المعماري العام مقابل عموميه وانتشاريه مفهوم النظرية في مؤشراته العامة فقط. Knowledge propositions in the field of architecture have dealt with various propositions and symmetries of various concepts within the field and within many visions, explained this in different directions and the various surroundings conditions. This demonstrated the importance of studying frameworks of a similar relationship between two main concepts in architecture, such as one of them is a recent concept proposed by many studies and research, which is the concept of sustainability with a basic concept that is the theory of the knowledge aspect in architecture, but it is the concept of theory with its knowledge extensions.  This paper aims to define the general foundations of both concepts (sustainability and theory), with a detailed explanation and proposition of some of their detailed links within several paths to be a problem of cognitive research (specific knowledge gap about identifying aspects of similarity between indicators of the concepts of sustainability and theory as basic concepts in the field of architecture) and the goal is to clarify and define those Knowledge and then orientation to form the theoretical frameworks that represent their cognitive state. It has fallen into three main vocabulary for both concepts (general position, organizational structure, general indicators) to be compared between the rates of preliminary verification for each of them in that and then applying T You have the frameworks on a specific architectural product that was carefully chosen and then put forward, analyze and discuss the results of this application and explore and clarify the limits of the nature of the relationship of symmetry and the correspondence between the two concepts and their similar indicators so that it becomes clear within the conclusions the strength of the general position and the organizational structure of the two concepts within the general architectural framework versus general and diffuse conceptual theory in its indicators General only

BUILDING DSS USING KNOWLEDGE DISCOVERY IN DATABASE APPLIED TO ADMISSION & REGISTRATION FUNCTIONS

This research investigates the practical issues surrounding the development and implementation of Decision Support Systems (DSS). The research describes the traditional development approaches analyzing their drawbacks and introduces a new DSS development methodology. The proposed DSS methodology is based upon four modules; needs' analysis, data warehouse (DW), knowledge discovery in database (KDD), and a DSS module. The proposed DSS methodology is applied to and evaluated using the admission and registration functions in Egyptian Universities. The research investigates the organizational requirements that are required to underpin these functions in Egyptian Universities. These requirements have been identified following an in-depth survey of the recruitment process in the Egyptian Universities. This survey employed a multi-part admission and registration DSS questionnaire (ARDSSQ) to identify the required data sources together with the likely users and their information needs. The questionnaire was sent to senior managers within the Egyptian Universities (both private and government) with responsibility for student recruitment, in particular admission and registration. Further, access to a large database has allowed the evaluation of the practical suitability of using a data warehouse structure and knowledge management tools within the decision making framework. 1600 students' records have been analyzed to explore the KDD process, and another 2000 records have been used to build and test the data mining techniques within the KDD process. Moreover, the research has analyzed the key characteristics of data warehouses and explored the advantages and disadvantages of such data structures. This evaluation has been used to build a data warehouse for the Egyptian Universities that handle their admission and registration related archival data. The decision makers' potential benefits of the data warehouse within the student recruitment process will be explored. The design of the proposed admission and registration DSS (ARDSS) will be developed and tested using Cool: Gen (5.0) CASE tools by Computer Associates (CA), connected to a MSSQL Server (6.5), in a Windows NT (4.0) environment. Crystal Reports (4.6) by Seagate will be used as a report generation tool. CLUST AN Graphics (5.0) by CLUST AN software will also be used as a clustering package. Finally, the contribution of this research is found in the following areas: A new DSS development methodology; The development and validation of a new research questionnaire (i.e. ARDSSQ); The development of the admission and registration data warehouse; The evaluation and use of cluster analysis proximities and techniques in the KDD process to find knowledge in the students' records; And the development of the ARDSS software that encompasses the advantages of the KDD and DW and submitting these advantages to the senior admission and registration managers in the Egyptian Universities. The ARDSS software could be adjusted for usage in different countries for the same purpose, it is also scalable to handle new decision situations and can be integrated with other systems

Investigating Alopecia Areata and its Connection to The High-Mobility Group Box 1: Review Article

Background: It is a common and reversible hair loss illness known as alopecia areata (AA). Hair loss on the scalp and other regions of the body can begin as a patchy area of full hair loss which may develop to the entire loss of all hair on the body. It is uncertain what causes AA but it is characterized by hair cycle disruption and the presence of mononuclear cell infiltrates in the perifollicular, as well as peribulbar areas. There have been numerous studies that have shown that AA has been linked to various autoimmune illnesses, including vitiligo. Autoimmune disease is becoming more prevalent, and researchers have found a link between chronic inflammation and HMGB1 (high-mobility group box 1). Objective: To evaluate the role of (HMGB1) protein in pathogenesis of AA. Conclusion: HMGB1 is a promising predictor of prognosis and treatment responsiveness in the pathophysiology of alopecia areata

Chelation activity of N'1,N'6-bis((E)-3,4-dihydroxybenzylidene)adipohydrazide towards some transition metal ions

New chelating agent, N'1,N'6-bis((E)-3,4-dihydroxybenzylidene)adipohydrazide (DBAH) was synthesized and its crystal structure was analyzed by X-ray single crystal diffractometer. Homometallic complexes of Zr(IV), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Cd(II) and heterometallic complex of Co(II)/Zn(II) or Co(II)/Zn(II)/Cd(II) have been synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic and physicochemical methods. The data confirms the formation of bi- and tetra-metallic complexes. The ligand behaves as a neutral tetradentate in the Co(II) and Ni(II) complexes; tetranegative tetradentate in Zr(IV) and Cd(II) complexes and binegative octadentate in [Co2Zn2(DBAH)Cl6] and [Co2ZnCd(DBAH-4H)(H2O)4Cl4].H2O. A tetrahedral structure was proposed for the Ni(II), Zr(IV) and Co(II)/Zn(II) complexes; square-planar for the Cu(II) complex and octahedral geometry for the Co(II) complex. The ESR spectrum confirms the proposed structure of the Cu(II) complex. The thermal analyses confirm the stability of these complexes in the range 275-418 °C. The molecular modeling of [Co2Zn2(DBAH)Cl8] was drawn and its parameters were calculated

Crystallization of osumilite from modified basaltic glasses

Osumilite-type phases, which have high temperature stability and low linear thermal expansion coefficients, were crystallized from modified basalt glass composition. To satisfy the compositional requirements of osumilite molecules, a deliberate amount of kaolin, sand, magnesite and TiO2 should be added to the basalt. The crystallization process was investigated by DTA, X-ray diffractometry and SEM. The effect of compositional changes on bulk crystallization and growth morphology was also studied. The linear thermal expansion coefficient was measured to characterize the produced glass-ceramics
