Resilient urban edges: Adaptive and mitigative design in Chennai

This paper investigates design responses to El Nino-mediated climatic disturbances, using the December 2015 Chennai floods as a test case. The effects of such disturbances are exacerbated by human intervention: urbanisation-led impermeabilisation of soil accentuates the urban heat island, makes water percolation difficult, increasing surface run-off. Using literature, precedents and on-site interviews with residents of a tenement block in severely-flooded Chennai, downstream of the River Adyar, key issues were identified. Additionally, impact of existing morphology on comfort conditions were derived using analytical tools of Envimet, Ladybug and CFD (outdoor) and TAS (indoor). The conclusions informed testing of hypotheses which merged with informal recycling practices of the residents. The paper discusses strategies employing recycled and local materials to build permeable surfaces (water-air-ground interfaces) to be embedded into existing architectural objects (by retrofitting), or utilised to build new experimental floating structures complementing the existing. The design studies show how strategies bring extreme temperatures of 42°C within a comfortable range in indoor and outdoor spaces; whilst contributing to flood mitigation. The paper speculates upon a resilient live-work environment for 2050 employing productive self-build networks to alleviate socio-economic polarisation characterising riverfronts, contributing to urban permeability and responding adaptively to daily, seasonal and extreme event

Thawing Out: The Role of the Arctic Council Service in a Melting Arctic

With the changing natural and political climate of the Arctic, conflicts over resource extraction and navigation will become inevitable. Empowering an intergovernmental institution like the Arctic Council Service may be the only solution. This paper analyzes the importance and history of the Arctic as a political environment, which is prone to abuse in the very near future at the hands of Russia and the United States

Memahami Kebudayaan Lokal Papua : suatu Pendekatan Pembangunan yang Manusiawi di Tanah Papua

Tulisan bertujuan untuk memberi pemahaman kepada pemerintah agar dalam membangun orang Papua haruslah menggunakan pendekatan budaya dari pada menggunakan pendekatan keamanan yang tidak akan menyelesaikan masalah sosialnya. Orang Papua terdiri dari 254 suku bangsa yang mendiami 4 zona ekologis, yaitu : (1) zona rawa, pantai dan sepanjang aliran sungai; (2) zona dataran tinggi; (3) zona kaki gunung dan lembah-lembah kecil; dan (4) zona dataran rendah, pesisir dan kepulauan. Orang Papua tersebar mendiami 4 zona tersbut, sehingga untuk membangun mereka tidak bisa menyamaratakan mereka karena karekteristikan budaya mereka berbeda sesuai dengan zona yang mereka diami. Dikemukakan pula beberapa kasus pembangunan yang gagal akibat dari pembangunan yang sifatnya top down sehingga bertentangan dengan karakteristik budaya mereka yang telah dibangun sejak nenek moyang mereka. Melalui tulisan ini, pendekatan budaya disarankan harus digunakan sebagai media pembangunan paling penting untuk suatu Perubahan

Spectroscopic Observations of the Comet 29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 1 at the SOAR Telescope

We carried out photometric and spectroscopic observations of comet 29P/ Schwassmann-Wachmann 1 at the SOAR 4.1-meter telescope (Chile) on August 12, 2016. This paper presents the results of only spectroscopic analysis. The spectra revealed presence of CO$^+$ and N$_2^+$ emissions in the cometary coma at a distance of 5.9 AU from the Sun. The ratio [N$_2^+$]/[CO$^+$] within the projected slit seems to be 0.01. We have also estimated spectral gradient value for the comet

Aerobic and Anaerobic Exercise: Associations with Academic Outcomes in College Students

Previous studies have found that physical activity is associated with greater academic achievements among students. However, it remains unclear whether associations are present in both aerobic exercise and anaerobic exercise. The purpose of this study was to examine the associations between aerobic exercise, anaerobic exercise and academic outcomes in college students. Data was drawn from a survey administered to undergraduate students attending St. John Fisher College in Rochester, NY. Students were asked to self record the type of exercise they participate in as well as their academic grade point average (GPA). The data collected was measured using two statistical models: first, two separate regression analyses with GPA as the outcome and either aerobic or anaerobic exercise as the predictor; second, a multiple regression where GPA is the outcome and both aerobic and anaerobic exercise are the predictors. The three measurements will be used to determine which form of exercise is most beneficial to the students’ academic achievements. After comparing the results of the survey, it was determined that there was no significant difference between the type of physical activity that students participated in and their GPA
