Rethinking adaptive reuse
Adaptive reuse of manufacturing plants in post-industrial countries has become an increasing trend. In the United States, evidence of our industrial past is present in both urban and rural landscapes. The appearance of "brownfields" is due to the change in the U.S. economy from heavy industry and …

Reinvention through reuse : strategies for the adaptive reuse of large-scale buildings
The practice of adaptive reuse has grown in popularity in the United States over the past few decades, with now about 90% of architect-commissioned work involving some interaction with an existing structure. While the practice of reuse has existed informally in the form of garage-as-guest house or …

Neighborhood revitalization through adaptive reuse
Adaptive reuse and historic rehabilitation have been utilized as a development strategy since the creation of the Federal Historic Preservation Tax Credit in 1976. In many cases, the adaptive reuse of vacant properties has been utilized as a tool for neighborhood economic development and …

Regulatory issues associated with graywater reuse
… which is increasingly gaining popularity is the reuse of graywater for nonpotable applications. Graywater reuse has been known to be prevalent in the U.S. for at least 10 years. A study conducted by the Water Conservation Alliance of Southern Arizona showed that 13% of homes were reusing …

Spatial reuse in TDMA wireless networks
… thesis we investigate the performance of spatial reuse in wireless networks. More specifically, we investigate the performance of location-based spatial reuse built upon the identification of links in the network that form Collision-Free Sets (CFSs). We develop algorithms that efficiently find …

Analogical specification reuse during requirements analysis
… tools is necessary for effective analogical reuse. Retrieval uses a computational implementation of analogical reasoning to search and match many reusable specifications. On the other hand understanding, transferring and adapting specifications requires cooperation between the tool and …

Design reuse in a CAD environment
… This 'static' information cannot be easily reused. The work presented in this thesis proposes a methodology to ease this problem. It defines and implements a computer-based design tool that will enable existing design families to be transformed into 'dynamic' CAD-based models for the …

Systemic software reuse through analogical reasoning
… reasoning as applied to the problem of software reuse at the level of the system architecture. The resulting methodology may be thought of as a hybrid approach to software reuse, as it combines a compositional developmental strategy with synthesis of role-based behaviors. The components of this …

Adaptive reuse : the Salt River market
… change. My Interest therefore looks to adaptive reuse as an approach to dealing with the change in our built environment. How do you deal, in an urban setting, with a neglected urban fabric without compromising Its historical and architectural memory which becomes important to a community? How do …

Reuse of hybrid car power systems
Used hybrid car power systems are inexpensive and capable of tens of kilowatts of power throughput. This paper documents a process for using the second generation Toyota Prius inverter module to drive a three phase permanent magnet synchronous motor/generator from Ford hybrid vehicle. A lightweight …

Facilitating Design Knowledge Reuse Through Relationships
Design reuse is an approach in which the creation of new designs is based on the identification of previously employed solutions and the incorporation of those into new contexts. This notion has been extensively studied especially by software engineers. This research seeks to support the reuse of …

Excess Heat Reuse in Icelandic Data Centers
… investigates the potential for excess heat reuse from the atNorth ICE02 data center campus in Reykjanesbær, Iceland. The study focuses on quantifying the magnitude, temperature level, and variability of the available heat resource, as well as evaluating its technical and economic feasibility …

Infrastructural Landscape: Strategies for Post-Industrial Reuse
This thesis examines the regional challenges facing the Great Lakes and proposes a series of simultaneous multiscalar strategies to address them. The proposal activates the potential, in the greater number and area, of small cities within the region to improve water quality and water consumption. …

Case reuse in textual case-based reasoning.
Text reuse involves reasoning with textual solutions of previous problems to solve new similar problems. It is an integral part of textual case-based reasoning (TCBR), which applies the CBR problem-solving methodology to situations where experiences are predominantly captured in text form. Here, we …

Feasibility of Reuse in the Concrete Industry
… could be salvaged, recycled, and/or reused. The need for comprehensive and integrated waste management mechanisms, technologies, rating systems, and policies is widely recognized. A waste management hierarchy tool exists for reducing and managing waste that follows this order: …
