A study on creating a symbiosis between the two with a case study of the beira lake, city of colombo

The formation and regeneration of urban form is often a result of the response for the natural geophysical features that are present in an urban context, the subculture of the region, human behavioral patterns and their response. Nevertheless there are primary forces and secondary forces that becomes a resultant of regenerating urban forms in different parameters. In an era of rapid globalization and urban sprawl the need for sustainable urban form has been a widely spoken phenomenon in the last few decades. Regenerating cities in a meticulously planned manner; hence has been of prime importance which otherwise has resulted in many negative implications such as unsightly, polluted and unlivable cities in various parts of the world. Water bodies and water features that are present in urban contexts has played a significant role in the formation of urban forms which has become the part and parcel of the urban fabric and the morphological patterns. In regenerating urban form, the response to the natural elements, and the context has been a key feature in forming sustainable urban forms. Which has resulted in habitable, aesthetically appealing and environmentally friendly cities that has formed as functional cities. Such cities also become people friendly cities, with a sense of place and identity. The human perception on urban forms and built fabric also has been another important dimension in the regeneration of sustainable urban forms and cities. The core relationship between water bodies and urban forms results in a symbiosis; where if the two are responsive to each other collectively they will result in positive implications in the city. Where the livability the habitability and the urban aesthetics etc. will be enhanced in a significant manner. Hence the two components in an urban context the Urban form and the Water Body will form a Symbiosis where the two will have to co-exist in harmony and the latter will have to be responsive to the former, where the resultant will have positive implications on the city which inevitably will make it livable and sustainable. iii A water body in an urban context is a static variable where the urban forms that are generated around the body are a dynamic variable unless the water body changes its form. It is also a hydrological urban space. The study intends to carry out a literature survey of the water bodies and urban form in the European context and the Asian (local) context; where the water itself has played a pivotal role, in the formation of urban settlements. Thereby to develop a set of matrixes to assess the main water body; and its resultant urban form taken in for the case study. This dissertation intends to carry out a study of the Beira lake Colombo, where the generation of urban form around the water body as a resultant, due to the functional and aesthetic aspects will be assessed where the final objective will be to investigate the merits the city would harness by creating responsive urban forms in relation to the water bodies, and also the nonresponsive urban form can be a resultant of many other negative implication into the city

Properties of zirconia thin films prepared by reactive magnetron sputtering

The search for alternative dielectric materials with high dielectric constant, thermodynamic stable on silicon substrate and low direct tunneling current leads to oxide based materials like zirconia. Zirconia thin films were prepared by reactive magnetron sputtering. The capacitance voltage, ac and dc electrical characteristics were investigated and the values like fixed oxide charges were calculated and compared among the samples with and without annealing. Films annealed at $700^oC$ showed a dielectric constant \sim26 with interface trap densities of $1.629\times1012 eV^{-1} cm^{-2}$

Preparation and Characterization of BaTiO3–PbZrTiO3 Coating for Pyroelectric Energy Harvesting

Harvesting energy from waste heat is a promising field of research as there are significant energy recovery opportunities from various waste thermal energy sources. The present study reports pyroelectric energy harvesting using thick film prepared from a (x)BaTiO3–(1 − x)PbZr0.52Ti0.48O3 (BT–PZT) solid solution. The developed BT–PZT system is engineered to tune the ferro to paraelectric phase transition temperature of it in-between the phase transition temperature of BaTiO3 (393 K) and PbZrTiO3 (573 K) with higher pyroelectric figure-of-merit (FOM). The temperature-dependent dielectric behavior of the material has revealed the ferro- to paraelectric phase transition at 427 K with a maximum dielectric constant of 755. The room-temperature (298 K) pyroelectric coefficient (Pi) of the material was obtained as 738.63 μC/m2K which has yielded a significantly high FOM of 1745.8 J m−3 K−2. The enhancement in pyroelectric property is attributed to the morphotopic phase transition between tetragonal and rhombohedral PZT phases in the BT–PZT system. The developed BT–PZT system is capable of generating a power output of 1.3 mW/m2 near the Curie temperature with a constant rate (0.11 K/s) of heating. A signal conditioning circuit has been developed to rectify the time-varying current and voltage signals obtained from the harvester during heating cycles. The output voltage generated by the pyroelectric harvester has been stored in a capacitor for powering wearable electronics

Studies on CNTs/DNA composite

The electrical and optical properties of MWCNTs/DNA composite were studied. Electrical conductivity studies reveal that, the increase in CNTs concentration in DNA increases the conductivity. Fourier transformed Infrared (FTIR) spectrum shows that the CNTs are bonded to DNA covalently at the ends and defects sites and the wrapping of DNA on the CNTs is due to van der Waals force
