CAD Designers Need Real-Time Data Integration To Complete Tasks The driving catalyst of having a thick client/server architecture to support teams of CAD designers globally is the intensive level of data integration inherent in their specific design files and supporting imagery, vector data and supporting application designs. A thin client network, predicated on small, relatively easily scaled transactions, is well suited for conversational and quick interchanges as occur in e-mail and low-end collaboration systems (Lee, 2002)
A thin client network, predicated on small, relatively easily scaled transactions, is well suited for conversational and quick interchanges as occur in e-mail and low-end collaboration systems (Lee, 2002). A thin client network also requires continual contact with servers to keep applications continually performing as well (Schmerken, 1997)
In the field of engineering consulting and design, it is also critically important for companies to have secured networks capable of collaborative design sessions and concurrent design sessions. The thin client technology alone can't scale to this requirement, and when companies have pushed this technology to this level of performance, security compliances have become commonplace (Vlissidis, Hickey, 2010)
Despite so much perceived movement in Art Nouveau artwork and architecture, the harmony in its designs is what stands out the most. The ornamentation and linear patterning was not mere decoration for Art Nouveau artists, but, instead, represented the symbolic content in the pattern, functioning as a visual metaphor imbued with spiritual energy and meaning: (Mucha 126) Optimism and fatigue are symbolized by two movements, an upward one and a downward one, which occur together in serpentine sinusoids between two poles which attract alternately, thus formulating the profile of the movement which can be seen in all structural and decorative elements
It is our "primary instrument in relating us with space and time, and giving those dimensions a human measure." (Pallasmaa, 284)
Sacks uses the impairment of blindness to reveal the heretofore unrecognized dimensions and functions of sight by discussing cases in which people were able to see but became blinded later in life. (Sacks, 1)
This technique can also be used for the determination of the structure to be used for content taxonomies. Focus groups A focus group is a quantitative research technique that involves people being asked their opinions, attitudes, beliefs and perceptions towards a given product, service, idea, packaging, concept or an advertisement (Henderson,2009)
Information architecture is defined by Bidigare and Argus (2000) as the art and science of structuring as well as organizing a given information environment in order to aid people in achieving their goals. A website's information architecture depends largely on clear organization, navigation, labeling as well as appropriate searching systems (Steve & Argus,2000, p1)
This is via schemas for conveying structure and syntax to be used by computers, users an authors in the promotion of information access. Some of the most popular metadata schemas are the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative (DCMI) which employs the Resource Description Framework (RDF) syntax in the representation of metadata on the internet (Weibel,1997; Beckett & McBride,2004)
Some of these activities include the library systems, database development, software design, technical writing, user interactions, content management system (CMS) and software design systems. A brief history of Information Architecture The term "information architect" is historically traced to Richard Saul Wurman who described architecture as the creation of a rather structural and systemic processes using orderly principle to enable a given system to work (Wurman & Bradford,1996)
Collocation would involve the bringing together of items having similar contents in the same area. The differentiation principle will bbe used fo placing the dissimilar items in different content areas (Leise,2003)
It is believed that a fire consumed the earlier temple because it was constructed out of wood, whereas the later incarnation was constructed form stone (Kashdan). The importance of the previous site to the locals is evidence in the fact that parts of that older building were "built into the terrace wall," ("Aegina, Temple of Aphaia (Building)")
This is because archaeologists suspect that the builders relied on pulley systems to hoist the stones in place, as opposed to the previous method, which used ramps and levers (Kashdan). One of the remarkable features found in the Temple of Aphaia includes the pottery that was found inside, which was black-figured pottery of the Attica style (Gill, 1988)
The Temple of Aphaia predates the Temple of Portunus by several centuries, suggesting that most mimicry would have been one-directional; the Roman design and function of the Temple of Portunus deriving directly from the Greek predecessor. The World Monument Fund refers to the Temple of Portunus as " a rare survivor of Roman Republican architecture and a reminder of the magnificence of the Forum Boarium in Antiquity," and the Temple of Aphaia represents the " completion of the setting down of the basic tenets of the Doric order of Greek architecture," (Kashdan)
The fire that destroyed an earlier temple on the same site was, however, not too long before the current temple was built, perhaps around 570 BCE (Gill). The Temple of Portunus was built in the second half of the second century BCE and there was no initial construction (Sear)
The Temple of Aphaia represents the "late" Archaic period, where the forms, styles, and functions of architecture had reached full maturity (209). From the Temple of Aphaia, it is easy to see how the next era of architecture style came to being, as the styles from the Archaic period morphed into the styles of the Severe, or Early Classical period (Snodgrass, 209)
Unlike the Temple of Aphaia, the Temple of Portunus does not have many sculptures or decorative elements. The style of architecture of the Temple of Portunus is "a merging of both Etruscan and Greek temple styles," (Sullivan)
Further differences between the Ionic and the Doric style are to be found in the fact that Ionic columns, unlike the Doric, do not have their shaft rising straight from the sub-structure, but are set up on a pedestal with many mouldings. (Hegel, 1998, p
The earliest example of this type of capital is found in the V Dynasty at Abusir ( Plate XXXIV-2 ). By the Middle Kingdom this kind of column with the symbolic lotus capital was either imitated from Old Kingdom examples or copied from the contemporary supports used in the houses (Smith, 1938, p
They are deceptively simple. The Jone's house, for instance, would easily run from $65,000 to $100,000 and that's just for the shell of the house (Levy, 2010)
