Sightlines: A New Airport for St. Louis
… layout, expansive windows and open sightlines to provide a more welcoming building to users, employees and visitors.

Aperture: An architecture to amplify aspects of competitive swimming
… penetrate the roof above the pool. One directs sightlines to moment of a race's start, while the other seeks to emphasize the linearity of swimming.

High-resolution spectroscopic studies of carbon-containing species
… of species to be determined towards different sightlines in the interstellar medium. This is accomplished by either obtaining laboratory absorption spectra of species of interest to compare to astronomical observations or by using fitting procedures and modeling programs to analyze previously …

Living downtown: a multiuse complex for the Pittsburgh central business district
… site conditions, egress, daylighting and sightlines. The design is inspired by Pittsburgh's vernacular hillside dwellings and the dynamics of the natural and built fabric of the site. Where a lone man may be overcome, two together can resist. A three-ply cord is not easily broken. - …

Forward Modeling for Bolometry and Disruption Mitigation in Tokamaks or How to Kill Your Plasma With Confidence, Style, and Pizzazz
… demonstrates that toroidally skewed sensor sightlines improve spatial resolution and reduce blind spots, allowing more accurate measurement.

The THESAN Project: ionizing escape fractions of reionization-era galaxies
… structure, SFR stability, and fraction of sightlines within each halo significantly contributing to the escaped flux. We show that dust is capable of reducing the escape fractions of massive galaxies, but the impact on the global 𝑓 subscript esc depends on the dust model. Finally, AGN are …

The evolution of galaxies and AGN
… LBG positions with Lya absorption in quasar sightlines, we find (a) that the intergalactic medium shows excess neutral hydrogen within 4 h^−1 Mpc of LBG positions, consistent with their lying in overdense regions, but also (b) that a Lya transmission spike may exist extending out to ~1.5 h^−1 …

A study of the absorption characteristics of gaseous galaxy halos in the local Universe
… statistics for 57 metal absorbers along 78 QSO sightlines using newly-obtained ultraviolet spectra obtained with HST /COS. We find clear evidence for bimodal distribution in the HI column density in the absorbers, a trend that we interpret as sign for two different classes of absorption systems …

The transverse proximity effect in quasar spectra
… radiate rather isotropically, background quasar sightlines located near foreground quasars should show a region of decreased Lyman alpha absorption close to the foreground quasar. Despite considerable effort, such a transverse proximity effect has only been detected in a few cases. So far, …

Engineering upgrades to the Motional Stark Effect diagnostic on Alcator C-Mod
… fully filling the view of each of the ten mse sightlines with polarization angles repeatable to better than 0.05°. The system has operated inside the vacuum for over 8500 cycles and is used to reconstruct the diagnostic calibration on a variety of timescales. This system was used to identify …

Sichtlinien und Sicherheit : Tribünenprofile moderner Sport- und Veranstaltungsstätten
… at modern sports grounds or places of event "Sightlines and Safety" are inseparable In assistance of built examples and parameter studies, empirical investigations and a review on historical building defaults, the safety-relevant appropriate decision criteria are cleared up. In this way a …

A study of cosmic dust in the galactic environment
… of the extinction curves along 16 Galactic sightlines. We derive abundances of carbon from the model-independent Kramers-Kronig relation which relates the wavelength-integrated extinction to the total dust volume and is less model-dependent. We also derive carbon abundance from fitting the …

PLAYING HARDBALL: AN ANALYSIS OF COURT DECISIONS INVOLVING THE LIMITED DUTY (BASEBALL) RULE
… thrown baseballs (10%). Distractions, or blocked sightlines, were only referenced on eight occasions and were successful in only one case (12.5%). Injuries were most likely to occur to the victim's head/face/neck region (57) and to be serious in nature (61). The outcome was in the plaintiff's …

Partial Figures: Sound in Queer and Feminist Thought
… “Public sex” has been imagined as a question of sightlines and their obstruction, but I argue that its sociality is given form by acoustics and acute sensitivity to environmental sound in spaces where visual obscurity offers both protection and danger. I read the 1998 album Second nature: an …
