Minimizing Environmental Impact of Urban Districts with Life Cycle Assessment...Heather Troutman
The life cycle assessment of single buildings and urban districts becomes more valuable over time; particularly with recent challenges in regards to climate change and government agendas to reduce climate pollutants. The following paper determines certain potentials for more sustainable quarters over a lifespan of 50 years along the case study of Berlin Tegel Airport Complex which is planned for refurbishment. It distinguishes between solely material matters and district scale adjustments and discusses their respecting influences on the performance. The DGNB-LCA-tool for urban districts served as an example tool.

Wastewater Management with Anaerobic Digestion Accra, GhanaHeather Troutman
This analysis identified Old Fadama, an informal settlement of 80,000 inhabitants in Accra, Ghana, that currently lacks adequate access to sanitation facilities, clean water, electricity, and is burdened by severe environmental degradation as a possible site to implement a system of small-scale anaerobic digesters throughout the community as a means to treat 122,139 L of wastewater per day producing 20,727 to 29,406 m3 biogas per day, which is sufficient to run a cooking stove for 3.24 to 4.59 hours per house per day (assuming 5 inhabitants per house). Additionally, this system can provide sufficient fertilizer and soil amendment for utilization in urban and peri-urban agriculture, which provides livelihood for 18 percent of Accra’s total population and produces 90 percent of all perishable produce consumed in the city.
Simulation of the effects of turbine exhaust recirculationZin Eddine Dadach
For an effective carbon capture by an amine mixture, the molar percentage of CO2 in the flue gas should be at least equal to 10%. Moreover, in order to reduce technical problems due to amine oxidative degradation, the molar percentage of O2 in the flue gas should be limited to 5%. One possible option for increasing the concentration of CO2 and decreasing the amount of O2 in the flue gas from power plants using natural gas is recirculation of a part of the flue gas.

The guide is intended to help local leaders better communicate with planning departments and make informed decisions around urban development challenges.
Dr. Liu Thai Ker has shaped Singapore's urban development through his career in public housing and planning. When consulting with other cities, he emphasizes how Singapore achieved liveability and sustainability despite high density. Key lessons include comprehensive infrastructure, protecting nature, and focusing on both function and liveability in initiatives like the Active, Beautiful, Clean Waters program. While Singapore has done well in fundamentals, there is room to improve regional character, elegance and subtlety by learning from how other cities use vegetation and climate. On the human side, Singapore can strengthen its culture, languages, and intellectual depth. Dr. Liu sees value, science and art as critical to sustainable urbanization in Asia given the massive scale of development needed. Embracing sound
Urban interaction design is an emerging field that brings together practitioners from various disciplines to address complex issues in the networked city. It combines approaches from the fields of urban studies focusing on societal issues, interaction design focusing on technology, and design focusing on experience. As an interdisciplinary field, it involves collaboration between academics, professional designers, engineers, policymakers, and various urban stakeholders. Practitioners are incorporating methodologies from different traditions to tackle issues from a holistic perspective. This has led to new, shared vocabularies and approaches that bridge traditional disciplinary boundaries.

The City At Eye Level | Lessons For Street PlinthsAdhitya Arjanggi
This document discusses the importance of plinths, which are the ground floors of buildings, for creating a vibrant public realm and positive urban experience. Good plinths with active uses that connect to pedestrian flows can make city streets feel welcoming and comfortable. However, plinths are not always designed with the public realm in mind, and trends like an increasing focus on interior spaces and single uses can undermine their quality. The document argues for diverse and flexible plinth uses, and a collaborative approach among developers, owners, entrepreneurs and others to improve plinth design and management over the long term.

CLT techniques include using role plays, debates, games, songs and multimedia to provide opportunities for cooperative student interaction and exchange of opinions in various social contexts.
TPR or Total Physical Response is a language teaching method that uses physical movement in response to verbal commands to develop basic communication skills through comprehensible input. The instructor utters commands for students to follow to reduce anxiety and develop vocabulary without pressuring students to speak. Students then take turns commanding the instructor and each other to perform actions. Over time, students can respond correctly to longer sequences of connected commands.
The direct method focuses on communicating in the target language through demonstration and visual aids, without translation or explicit grammar instruction. In the classroom, the teacher uses a map to ask students questions about US geography, encouraging responses in full sentences in the target language. Errors are addressed through questioning to facilitate self-correction. Various techniques are used, including reading aloud, questioning, dictation, and fill-in-the-blank exercises, to develop oral skills and inductive learning of grammar and culture.
The Grammar-Translation Method (GTM) was originally used to teach Latin and Greek and focused on reading classical texts. It emphasizes learning grammar rules and vocabulary through memorization and translation exercises between the native and target languages. Classes are taught in the native language and the teacher is the primary authority who explains rules and corrects mistakes while students interact mostly with the teacher through translation and drills. The goal is to develop reading and writing skills along with mental exercise through analyzing the literary aspects of the target language.
This document discusses incorporating information and communication technologies (ICT) into lessons. It provides 5 reasons to do so: 1) ICT facilitates mental representation and learning, 2) connective objects allow multiple learning experiences, 3) users can collaborate to build shared knowledge, 4) teachers can show creativity and participate in personal learning networks, and 5) parents and community can participate. It then discusses the experience of The Mackay School in transitioning to using blogs and websites like WordPress for lessons over 3 stages from 2010-2013. Finally, it outlines the objectives of the workshop, which are to understand using blogs and websites as teaching tools by creating and customizing a WordPress site and integrating Flickr.
