Healthy Eating and Active Living in North Portland: Asset Mapping with G.I.S.
Making community development as democratic as possible has long been a challenge for urban planners and municipalities alike. A number of obstacles stand in the way of greater community participation in the planning process and consequently communities who are best served by their design. Visual Preference Surveys (VPS) are a tool planners can use to increase participation in the design process within the communities they serve. This can result in community plans that more accurately reflect the wants or needs of its members. Relying heavily on image driven content, VPS offers communities a straightforward methodology that asks participants to rate paired images of development options. This document is a review of some of the literature focused on the uses of VPS. Included is an explanation of VPS, the advantages and challenges it offers, general case studies, and the potential for using VPS to specifically address issues related to Healthy Eating/Active Living
Yb-doped core-clad borosilicate glass fibers and effect of the cross-section profile on their biodegradation behavior
International audienceHere we report on Yb-doped core-clad bioactive borosilicate fibers, that we have prepared both with round and rectangular cross-section profile..
Characterization of biodegradable coreâclad borosilicate glass fibers with round and rectangular crossâsection
Here, we report on coreâclad bioactive borosilicate fibers, that we have prepared both with round and rectangular crossâsection profile. The exposed approach, which relies on the stacking and drawing of glass slabs, demonstrates our ability to develop bioactiveâbased glass fibers with tailored crossâsection profiles. Tensâofâmetersâlong fibers were successfully drawn, although suffering from elevated losses in the case of the rectangular ones. The response of the fibers in simulated body fluid was studied for both geometries. We found that a round cladding can act as protective layer, tempering effects of the corrosion. We also noticed that rectangular fibers are more prone to degradation, the enhanced corrosion beginning from their sharp corners as they accumulated residual tensile stress during drawing. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the effect of residual tensile stresses from surface tension deformations applied to the corrosion of rectangular fibers. As geometry plays a critical role on the biodegradation behavior of the fiberglass, we believe the enclosed results could lead to the design of fiber devices with tailored crossâsection profile in order to tune their rate of degradation on solely based geometrical effects.University of Bordeaux Graduate Scholl in Light Sciences & Technologie
