Film-making in socio-culturally sensitive areas : lessons from the Bo-Kaap
The main issues around filming in the Bo-Kaap are the need for film crews to respect the area's cultural norms, and for the community to benefit from the inconvenience of hosting film shoots. Recommendations to mitigate costs and enhance benefits of filming, according to the principles of …

Fire safety evaluation of multifunctional buildings - Special emphasis on antagonistic attacks and protection of sensitive areas
… and accounts for specific identified problem areas for multifunctional buildings and antagonistic attacks. To aid application of the evaluation method a method to quantify fire growth rate of fire scenarios was developed and fire protection using hypoxic air venting was investigated. Finally …

A measurement of the extent of the color-sensitive areas of the retina and of the wavelengths of light stimulating the respective receptor mechanisms
The interest of the writer was directed toward the phenomena of color vision in 1927 as a result of attending concurrently two courses in the University of California touching upon the subject, but treating it quite differently with results far from mutually consistent. Prof. R. S. Minor, in his …
