RECREATIONAL RETIAL MALL AND OFFICE BUILDING
I. INTRODUCTION
A. Preamble
The District of Columbia has embarked on an ambitious city planning scheme to reshape the city scape to accommodate the younger generation interested in compact activity zone were shopping recreation and work all happen in close proximity. In part this phenomena is driven by the baby boomers who has a age factor that make living and entertainment in the close proximity a necessity of life. The options for boomers are suburban senior homes or an urban area with all the needed amenities within reach. Transportation access is also important for both groups.
So the city Mixed Use (MU) … “zones are designed to provide facilities for housing, shopping, and business needs, including residential, office, service, and employment centers.”
B. Program
XYZ Corporation has acquired a 2.4 acre parcel of land on the Connecticut Ave corridor in North West Washington DC. (See subdivision record plat Appendix B). In partnership with the Giant Corp., the company intends to develop a mixed use building to include retail and office activities on the land in keeping with the Washington DC Connecticut Ave corridor urban plan. The project is envisioned to conform to the implementation of the Comprehensive Plan.
II. PROJECT STATEMENT
With the influx genXers, Milennials, and an establish population of professional and elderly people[footnoteRef:1] the XYZ Corporation has determined through market studies that this site will support a retail and office building. [1: http://apps.urban.org/features/OurChangingCity/demographics/index.html#index ]
XYZ Corporation recognizes the business advantage of locating its branch offices in close proximity to several Universities and on the metro red line. As a result the corporation has assembled a strategic parcel of land on Connecticut Ave NW adjacent to the Metro line. (See also Appendix B.)

ABSTRACT
An increasing number of pervasive healthcare systems are be-
ing designed, that allow people to monitor and get feedback
on their health and wellness. To address the challenges of
self-management of mental illnesses, we have developed the
MONARCA system – a personal monitoring system for bipo-
lar patients. We conducted a 14 week field trial in which
12 patients used the system, and we report findings focus-
ing on their experiences. The results were positive; compared
to using paper-based forms, the adherence to self-assessment
improved; the system was considered very easy to use; and
the perceived usefulness of the system was high. Based on
this study, the paper discusses three HCI questions related to
the design of personal health technologies; how to design for
disease awareness and self-treatment, how to ensure adher-
ence to personal health technologies, and the roles of different
types of technology platforms.

Design Patterns
Christian Behrens
https://www.behance.net/gallery/29576487/The-Form-of-Facts-and-Figures
Christopher Alexander
The term design patterns was originally coined about three decades ago by Christopher Alexander, an architect and critic who envisioned a generic and modular “language” of methods to describe the process of construction and urban planning by means of recurring problems that are well-known in a specific context, and respective solutions that have been proved and tested in the past and can therefore be seen as a safe choice to tackle a certain design challenge. Although it never made its breakthrough in the field of architecture, the basic idea of design patterns was adopted by other engineering disciplines, most notably software development in the early 1990s. A second wave of success seems to have appeared recently, when several projects were launched to build up pattern libraries for digital user interfaces. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Alexander

Rejected by Architects, Adopted by Software Engineers,
…and the field of user interface design.
Although Alexander’s book became a bestseller and is a de-facto standard read for architecture students until today, it received much criticism and invoked sceptical reactions among the architecture community. Looking back at it some thirty years later, Alexander’s pattern language can be described as a success story on a detour. While widely rejected by architects and urban planners, the concept was picked up by computer scientist in the late 1980s and became a huge success in the wake of the rise of object-oriented programming languages such as Java

useful for the general description of common design problems, and provide solutions based on the relationships and behaviors of objects Companies and institutions that deal with interface design problems, have also launched own projects that aim at streamlining the development of new products and services by means of a comprehensive design pattern collection.
Design Patterns can help to tackle commonly known recurring design problems with well-proven solutions. A single pattern provides a brief description of one particular design problem. This problem can be a physical attribute of an application (for instance a dropdown menu), or a functional behavior (e.g. the login dialog of a website). A pattern typically consists of a description of the problem, and a solution that has been proven before and is generally recognized. Usually, a pattern provides additional information like an example of a real-world scenario in which it has been successfully applied as well as a rationale to briefly describe the benefit the usage this patterns bears.

h i g h l i g h t s
A mathematical–statistical model for designing Pareto optimal CO2 cap-and-trade policies.
The model fills a gap in the current literature that primarily supports cap-and-trade policy evaluation but not policy design.
Pareto optimal policies accommodate conflicting goals of the market constituents.
Electricity demand-price sensitivity and social cost of carbon have significant influence on the cap-and-trade policies.
Higher demand-price sensitivity increases the influence of penalty and social cost of carbon on reducing carbon emissions.

Among the CO2 emission reduction programs, cap-and-trade (C&T) is one of the most used policies. Economic studies have
shown that C&T policies for electricity networks, while reducing emissions, will likely increase price and decrease consumption
of electricity. This paper presents a two layer mathematical– statistical model to develop Pareto optimal designs for CO2 cap-
and-trade policies. The bottom layer finds, for a given C&T policy, equilibrium bidding strategies of the competing generators
while maximizing social welfare via a DC optimal power flow (DC-OPF) model. We refer to this layer as policy evaluation.
The top layer (called policy optimization) involves design of Pareto optimal C&T policies over a planning horizon. The
performance measures that are considered for the purpose of design are social welfare and the corresponding system marginal
price (MP), CO2 emissions, and electricity consumption level.

1. Introduction
A major part of the total CO2 emissions come from the electricity
production sector, e.g., 40% in the U.S. ([1]). In 2009, 70% of the electricity
was produced from fossil fuel such as gas, coal, and petroleum ([2]). In 2005,
the European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) launched a cap-
and-trade system that seeks to reduce the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
by 21% by 2020 from the 2005 level. Currently, the EU ETS is the largest
emission market in the world [3], and according to the European Commission
[4], at least 20% of its budget for 2014–2020 will be spent on climate-related
projects and policies. In the United States, as well as in the EU, different
regulations have been discussed to cut CO2 emissions such as carbon tax,
renewable portfolio standards (RPS), and capand-trade programs (C&T). In
the northeastern U.S., the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) has
already implemented a C&T program through a nine state collaborative effort,
which seeks to cut the CO2 emissions by 10% by 2018. Recently the

Design of a non-invasive Hip Exoskeleton DISCLAIMER
This report was prepared by students as part of a university course requirement. While considerable effort has been put into the project, it is not the work of licensed engineers and has not undergone the extensive verification that is common in the profession. The information, data, conclusions, and content of this report should not be relied upon or utilized without thorough, independent testing and verification. University faculty members may have been associated with this project as advisors, sponsors, or course instructors, but as such they are not responsible for the accuracy of results or conclusions.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Team project’s is to design Hip Exoskeleton for children to assist their ability to walk. In general exoskeleton is a wearable device that can help and assist individuals with neuromuscular disorder. Hip exoskeleton is a device that assists the lower body of a person to help stabilization and walking performance. The team’s target is children from four to sixteen years old also will focus on the mechanical aspect of the hip exoskeleton such as the frame, motors and design in general. There are different requirements that the team focused in order to develop a design that functions effectively and improve the design. These requirements include the customer and the engineering requirements. These requirements serve to fulfil the deficiencies that were identified in the existing devices.
The purpose of this project is to facilitate stabilization in children with cerebral palsy and decrease the metabolic cost of walking in children.
The project goal is to focus on developing a hip exoskeleton, using motors, and sensors to improve the user’s hip movements and strength. In addition to deliver a design that meets all customers’ needs and engineering requirements.
The design comprises of three subsystems pelvic, thigh and actuator subsystems. These subsystems will collaborate with the signal produced by the body to provide adequate support to the hip joints of the user. The team is only focusing on the mechanical aspect of this project for the electrical component will be provided by the client.
1.0 BACKGROUND 1.1 Introduction
Exoskeletons are wearable devices that function alongside the user’s body parts. The design of an exoskeleton depends on various factors such as the purpose and the target body parts that require support. The team will develop a lightweight and cost-effective exoskeleton by making adjustments and improvements on the existing hip exoskeletons [2]. The purpose of making this exoskeleton from the existing design is to help support walking at the hip joint. Exoskeletons are used in different sectors such as healthcare, sports, military and rehabilitation facilities. They are used to assist individuals with hip and back issues to walk and maintain a stable posture. The previous design of the exoskeleton is robotic and costly because of the components u.

Aims of a Dissertation
The dissertation or project should demonstrate knowledge of the relevant literature; show that the student has executed a substantial piece of advanced individual work and should bring together the independent work with the knowledge gained in the literature and theory.
Where creative work is involved this should be informed by and be related to the theoretical aspect of the work.
What is Methodology?
A system of rules, principles, and procedures that guide scientific investigation
Methodology / Method
Methodology refers to how you go about finding out knowledge and carrying out your research. It is your strategic approach, rather than your techniques and data analysis (Wainright, 1997).
Some examples of such methods are:
the scientific method (quantitative method),
ethnographic approach, case study approach, (both using qualitative methods), ideological framework (e.g. an interpretation from Marxist, Feminist viewpoint), dialectic approach (e.g. compare and contrast different points of view or constructs, including your own).
Paradigm
A paradigm is simply a belief system (or theory) that guides the way we do things, or more formally establishes a set of practices. This can range from thought patterns to action.
Disciplines tend to be governed by particular paradigms.
“the set of common beliefs and agreements shared between scientists about how problems should be understood and addressed” (Kuhn, 1962)
Guba (1990), research paradigms can be characterized through their:
Ontology – What is reality? (what exists?)
Epistemology – How do you know something?
Methodology – How do you go about finding it out?
what exists?
What is its nature?
Epistemology – Theory of knowledge: All claims to knowledge are tentative (some more than others)
Knowledge: Belief, Justification, Truth (necessary for knowledge)
Methodology – How do you go about finding it out?
Why is it important?
Your ontology and epistemology create a holistic view of how knowledge is viewed and how we can see ourselves in relation to this knowledge, and the methodological strategies we use to un/discover it.
Awareness of philosophical assumptions will increase quality of research and can contribute to the creativity of the researcher.
Positivists believe that there is a single reality, which can be measured and known, and therefore they are more likely to use quantitative methods to measure and this reality.
Constructivist.

Design and implement a Java program that transfers fragments of a file to multiple remote nodes. The class should take as input:
1. A file path to file of a fixed size (64MB).
2. An unordered list of 64 IP addresses/port numbers.
3. The maximum transfer rate for the sender (in Kbps). The rate limits the total amount of bandwidth a sender consumes when transferring file fragments.
The program should divide the file up into 64x1MB fragments and send one fragment to each of the 64 nodes. A TCP socket should be used for communication with each of the nodes. The transfer should honor the rate set by the user. Assume that each of the remote nodes have equal upstream and downstream bandwidth. The focus should be to:
· Minimize the total time it takes to send the entire 64MB file.
· Minimize the communication overhead.
· Minimize system resources consumed during the transfer.
Please submit working code with build instructions (Eclipse project environment preferred), all test code (JUnit or other code used to debug the solution), a one page (or less) description of how you tested your solution and why you tested the way you did, and a one page (or less) description of why you chose the solution and an evaluation of how it performs against the goals stated above.

Design and Mechanism of
Controlling a Robotic Arm
Introduction:
Definition:
A robotic arm is a type of mechanical arm, usually programmable, with similar functions to a human arm; the arm may be the sum total of the mechanism or may be part of a more complex robot. The links of such a manipulator are connected by joints allowing either rotational motion (such as in an articulated robot) or translational (linear) displacement.[1][2] The links of the manipulator can be considered to form a kinematic chain. The terminus of the kinematic chain of the manipulator is called the end effector and it is analogous to the human hand.
A Robot is a virtually intelligent agent capable of carrying out tasks robotically with the
help of some supervision. Practically, a robot is basically an electro-mechanical machine
that is guided by means of computer and electronic programming. Robots can be
classified as autonomous, semiautonomous and remotely controlled. Robots are widely
used for variety of tasks such as service stations, cleaning drains, and in tasks that are
considered too dangerous to be performed by humans. A robotic arm is a robotic
manipulator, usually programmable, with similar functions to a human arm.
This Robotic arm is programmable in nature and it can be manipulated. The robotic arm
is also sometimes referred to as anthropomorphic as it is very similar to that of a human
hand. Humans today do all the tasks involved in the manufacturing industry by
themselves. However, a Robotic arm can be used for various tasks such as welding,
drilling, spraying and many more. A self-sufficient robotic arm is fabricated by using
components like micro-controllers and motors. This increases their speed of operation
and reduces the complexity. It also brings about an increase in productivity which makes
it easy to shift to hazardous materials. This specific micro
controller is used in various types of embedded applications. Robotics involves elements
of mechanical and electrical engineering, as well as control theory, computing and now
artificial intelligence.
Design of the Robotic Arm:
The Robotic Arm is designed using the Microcontroller Micro-controller using Arduino programming. This process works on the principle of
interfacing servos and Joystick. This task is achieved by using Arduino board.
Joystick play an important role The remote is fitted with joystick and the
servos are attached to the body of the robotic arm. The joystick converts the
mechanical motion into electrical motion. Hence, on the motion of the remote the
potentiometers produce the electrical pulses, which are in route for the Arduino board.
The board then processes the signals received from the joysticks and finally,
converts them into requisite digital pulses that are then sent to the servomotors. This
servo will respond with regards to the pulses which results in the moment of the arm.
Degree of Freedom:
Robot arms are described by their degrees of freedom. This number typically

design and develop an interactive and user-friendly GUI-based network configurator. By using the GUI configurator, users are able to visually “draw” the network topology, and specify the parameters for the hosts, network hubs. In addition, users should be able to save the network configurations, open and continue working on them, and check the correctness of the network specifications. And if everything is okay, users can save it into a configuration file for V-NetLab to use.

Description
In this activity, you will analyze and study the subject presented and compose a written response addressing the questions posed. The response should involve research of the subject identified below. In this activity you will use a template in Word® and replace the content with your response while preserving the outline formatting. You will also practice the first few stages of essay writing which includes organizing ideas into main topics and subtopics in outline format. The final deliverable for this assignment is an outline of an essay in development. You will not turn in a completed essay, just the outline. Prior to starting, read the entire assignment below.
Instructions
Preparing
1. Save this example template to your computer (.docx). Open the file and read the document. You will use this document for this activity.
2. Next, review the materials and content below. As you do, take notes of main ideas and supporting points on a piece of paper.
3. When ready to begin the outline in Word, enter information such as the title, your name, etc. into the file. Enter the name of your essay in all capitals within the page header.
Write the outline
1. For the remainder of the outline, the content must contain only your words. Do not quote, paraphrase or borrow content from the sources. Close all source materials before starting. Again, use only your words here. This is not about trying to sound like an expert. Just organize your thoughts and represent them on the outline.
2. Enter your thesis at the top of the first page in sentence format. Think of a thesis statement as a one sentence summary of the essay.
3. Enter a blank space for the introduction. It is suggested to write the introduction after the body and conclusion sections are complete. Many authors prefer this method so you are asked to give it a try here.
4. Enter the main ideas and then under each enter the subtopics in sentence format (this should not be paragraphs). Feel free to delete the existing outline prior to starting.
5. Add a conclusion section also in outline format.
6. The final paper outline must be at least 1.5 pages long. A little longer than that is fine but the response should not be less than 1.5 pages.
Case Information
Computer Input-Output Technologies that Link Pilots and Air Traffic Controllers
Both the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Eurocontrol (Europe’s FAA) actively research, experiment with, and deploy technologies in order to create a safer and more efficient airspace system.
An example is Controller-Pilot Data Link Communications (CPDLC), which in addition to the existing radio, creates a second channel for communication between pilots and air traffic controllers (ATC). Instead of keying the radio, ATC and pilots type instructions and requests and send via text messaging. This reduces ATC workload and frees up the radio channels for important communications.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
