Tectonic Approach in Landscape Architecture: A Review

Tectonic theory is an integrative philosophy that examined the relations formed between design, construction, and space while create or experience architecture. Various tectonic perspectives since 1852 considering ‘space’ as an important parameter in tectonic were reviewed. This study aimed at proposing a new definition of landscape tectonics...

A Calibration Method for Acoustic Space Charge Measurements Using Multilayer Samples

Nowadays, the use of several methods for the measurement of space charges in dielectrics has become more relevant. The availability of different space charge measurement methods brings the necessity of calibration and characterization of measurement equipment to reach standardized measurements. In this paper, a method is presented to apply known...

Comparing the Landscape Fragmentation and Accessibility of Green Spaces in Territories-in-Between across Europe

To improve the positive effects provided by green spaces on human well-being in dispersed urban areas is a key challenge for sustainable spatial development in Europe. This article presents a methodology that allows for the comparison of the potential of green spaces in Territories-in-Between across Europe, in a way that crosses the fields of...

A novel ultrasound technique for detection of osteochondral defects in the ankle joint: A parametric and feasibility study

(Osteo)chondral defects (OCDs) in the ankle are currently diagnosed with modalities that are not convenient to use in long-term follow-ups. Ultrasound (US) imaging, which is a cost-effective and non-invasive alternative, has limited ability to discriminate OCDs. We aim to develop a new diagnostic technique based on US wave propagation through...
