Aesthetic vision and sustainability in The New York Times Building ceramic rod facade
This study investigates the implications of the New York Times Building aesthetic vision in respect to its sustainability goals; namely: to enhance the NYT work environment through the effective management of daylight, offsetting the building’s lighting and cooling energy demands. The study focuses on the role of the ceramic rod façade and concentrates on its implications on the building’s energy demands. The study makes a case for aesthetics informing the building’s sustainability goals and pushing for innovative solutions to sustainable architecture

Seasonal wind variations in the Martian subtropics
A possible initiation mechanism for global dust storms was raised by describing a new analysis of winds at Viking Lander I, the Mutch Memorial Station, at 28 deg N latitude. It was shown that strong winds associated with an eastward propagation planetary wave coincided with the onset of a major dust storm at that site, and it was speculated that these high latitude winter systems may sometimes contribute to the initiation of Martian global dust storms
