Public Humanities in Architecture : Reflections on Heritage, Culture, and History
Anyone concerned with the history, tradition, and culture of our built environment will sooner or later come across the term ‘Public Humanities’.At the interface between an academic discipline and the media-oriented culture industry, Public Humanities is established as a field of inquiry in the US and is increasingly becoming so in Europe too. Whether this field of research remains a product of Western culture will only become apparent in the coming years.However, linking architectural debate with the humanities is an important concern of the papers collected here. These essays on architectural theory provide academic food for thought while encouraging reflection on the discipline of architecture and stimulating urban design in the twenty-first century.The lectures collected here are from a class on Public Humanities at Brown University.

Large-Scale C++ : Process and Architecture, Volume 1
Writing reliable and maintainable C++ software is hard.Designing such software at scale adds a new set of challenges.Creating large-scale systems requires a practical understanding of logical design — beyond the theoretical concepts addressed in most popular texts.To be successful on an enterprise scale, developers must also address physical design, a dimension of software engineering that may be unfamiliar even to expert developers.Drawing on over 30 years of hands-on experience building massive, mission-critical enterprise systems, John Lakos shows how to create and grow Software Capital.This groundbreaking volume lays the foundation for projects of all sizes and demonstrates the processes, methods, techniques, and tools needed for successful real-world, large-scale development. Up to date and with a solid engineering focus, Large-Scale C++, Volume I: Process and Architecture, demonstrates fundamental design concepts with concrete examples.Professional developers of all experience levels will gain insights that transform their approach to design and development by understanding how to Raise productivity by leveraging differences between infrastructure and application developmentAchieve exponential productivity gains through feedback and hierarchical reuseEmbrace the component’s role as the fundamental unit of both logical and physical designAnalyze how fundamental properties of compiling and linking affect component designDiscover effective partitioning of logical content in appropriately sized physical aggregatesInternalize the important differences among sufficient, complete, minimal, and primitive softwareDeliver solutions that simultaneously optimize encapsulation, stability, and performanceExploit the nine established levelization techniques to avoid cyclic physical dependenciesUse lateral designs judiciously to avoid the “heaviness” of conventional layered architecturesEmploy appropriate architectural insulation techniques for eliminating compile-time couplingMaster the multidimensional process of designing large systems using component-based methods This is the first of John Lakos’s three authoritative volumes on developing large-scale systems using C++.This book, written for fellow software practitioners, uses familiar C++ constructs to solve real-world problems while identifying (and motivating) modern C++ alternatives.Together with the forthcoming Volume II: Design and Implementation and Volume III: Verification and Testing, Large-Scale C++ offers comprehensive guidance for all aspects of large-scale C++ software development.If you are an architect or project leader, this book will empower you to solve critically important problems right now — and serve as your go-to reference for years to come.

How does determining the scale factor and scale work?
Determining the scale factor involves comparing the measurements of corresponding sides of two similar figures. The scale factor is the ratio of the lengths of the sides of the two figures. To find the scale factor, you can divide the length of a side of the larger figure by the length of the corresponding side of the smaller figure. The scale is the ratio of the dimensions of the actual object to the dimensions of the model or drawing. It is used to accurately represent the size of an object in a smaller or larger form.
-
How does one determine the scale factor and scale?
To determine the scale factor, one must compare the measurements of corresponding sides of two similar figures. The scale factor is calculated by dividing the length of a side in the larger figure by the length of the corresponding side in the smaller figure. The scale is then determined by using the scale factor to create a ratio between the measurements of the figures. This ratio can be used to accurately resize or recreate the figures at a different scale.

What is the difference between interval scale and ratio scale?
The main difference between interval scale and ratio scale is the presence of a true zero point. Ratio scale has a true zero point, meaning that a value of zero indicates the absence of the quantity being measured. Interval scale, on the other hand, does not have a true zero point, and a value of zero does not necessarily indicate the absence of the quantity being measured. Additionally, ratio scale allows for meaningful ratios to be calculated, while interval scale does not.
-
Can a regular scale be used as a kitchen scale?
Yes, a regular scale can be used as a kitchen scale as long as it has the capacity to measure in smaller increments typically used in cooking, such as grams or ounces. However, kitchen scales are specifically designed for food measurements and often come with features like tare function, which allows you to zero out the weight of the container. So while a regular scale can be used in a pinch, a kitchen scale may be more convenient and accurate for cooking and baking purposes.

Scale, Space and Canon in Ancient Literary Culture
Greek culture matters because its unique pluralistic debate shaped modern discourses.This ground-breaking book explains this feature by retelling the history of ancient literary culture through the lenses of canon, space and scale.It proceeds from the invention of the performative 'author' in the archaic symposium through the 'polis of letters' enabled by Athenian democracy and into the Hellenistic era, where one's space mattered and culture became bifurcated between Athens and Alexandria.This duality was reconfigured into an eclectic variety consumed by Roman patrons and predicated on scale, with about a thousand authors active at any given moment.As patronage dried up in the third century CE, scale collapsed and literary culture was reduced to the teaching of a narrower field of authors, paving the way for the Middle Ages.The result is a new history of ancient culture which is sociological, quantitative, and all-encompassing, cutting through eras and genres.

What is the major difference between N scale and Z scale?
The major difference between N scale and Z scale model trains is their size. N scale trains are larger than Z scale trains, with N scale trains typically being 1:160 scale and Z scale trains being 1:220 scale. This means that Z scale trains are smaller and more compact, allowing for more intricate layouts in a smaller space. Additionally, N scale trains are more popular and have a wider variety of available models and accessories compared to Z scale.
