The Implications of Densification Policies for Greater Resistencia (Argentina): an Assessment of Recent Experience

. Since 2001, Resistencia City Council has been promoting growth in building height by steering development towards built-up areas in central districts that already have complete infrastructure, through the implementation of the Ordinance 5403/01 - high density. If Ordinance 5403/01 is to be accomplished, with the proposed density of up to 2400 inhabitants, there is a need for 128 hectares of green open space at the neighborhood level (Pérez and Schneider, 2011). In the last 10 years, although the population growth of the city (16%) has been followed by an increase in the supply of greenfield per inhabitant (85%), this increase has not been reflected in the inner city areas, where there is a higher population density. This legislation does, however, include sections that make it possible to optimize this situation. This paper continues on from previous studies and attempts an analysis of the application of existing legislation that proposed the intensification of land use in built up core of Resistencia city. It is focused on an assessment of the scope of the implementation of this legislation, with an emphasis on the design of buildings which enable the supply of areas dedicated to leisure or recreation, which would allow a decompression in the demand for green spaces in the central area

Greater Resistencia Study Case: Greenfield and Increased Densification

. This paper focuses on one of the relevant issues of the phenomena of urban expansion and densification, i.e. the lack of planning of public greenfields. At the regional level, since 2001, Resistencia City Council has been promoting a growth in height by increasing built-up areas in central districts that have complete infrastructure, through the implementation of the Ordinance 5403/01 - high density. On the other hand, in the last 10 years the population growth of the city (16%) has been followed by an increase in the supply of open space per inhabitant (85%). However, this increase is not reflected in the inner city areas, where the higher population density is located. This paper aims to analyze and relate the results arising, so far, from the densification of central areas and its relationship with the availability of open space in central districts of Greater Resistencia City

A diagrammatic approach to study the information transfer in weakly non-linear channels

In a recent work we have introduced a novel approach to study the effect of weak non-linearities in the transfer function on the information transmitted by an analogue channel, by means of a perturbative diagrammatic expansion. We extend here the analysis to all orders in perturbation theory, which allows us to release any constraint concerning the magnitude of the expansion parameter and to establish the rules to calculate easily the contribution at any order. As an example we explicitly compute the information up to the second order in the non-linearity, in presence of random gaussian connectivities and in the limit when the output noise is not small. We analyze the first and second order contributions to the mutual information as a function of the non-linearity and of the number of output units. We believe that an extensive application of our method via the analysis of the different contributions at distinct orders might be able to fill a gap between well known analytical results obtained for linear channels and the non trivial treatments which are required to study highly non-linear channels.Comment: 17 pages, 3 figure

Social Life in Public Space as a Commons: The Case of Public Art

This thesis conceptualises social life in public space as a collective resource, constituted by the bundle of relations among individuals and between individuals and the built environment. The case study of art in public space offers a close up on a stratum of the way social life in public space functions, exploring four experiences of public art: Santa Claus in Rotterdam, I am Queen Mary in Copenhagen; Triumphs and Laments in Rome, and Carmela in Barcelona

Kalimat Tanya Dalam Novel Murder in the Mews Karya Agatha Christie

This study entitled Interrogative Sentence in the Novel Murder in The Mews by Agatha Christie is used to identify, classify and analyze the interrogative sentence found in the novel. The data have been collected from the dialogs among the characters found in the novel. The data then analyzed based on Aarts and Aarts concept (1982). In analyzing data the descriptive method is used. The result shows that interrogative sentence found in the novel are yes/no question, question tag, and wh-question. Three kinds of interrogative sentences found in the novel, there are also found . interrogative sentence without question word, one or two words followed by question mark in terms of its function in communication which can function as question. ──────────────────────────────────────────────────
