استخدم الزجاج في العمارة في البدء لأغراض تزيينية على الجدران والاسقف, ثم تطور استخدامه كمادة شفافة للنوافذ, كما في العمارة القوطية, حتى وصل إلى المستنبتات الزجاجية. ومن ثم جاءت الثورة الصناعية لتساعد في ظهور المباني العامة الكبيرة مثل مباني السكك الحديدية والمطارات من خلال استخدام مجازات واسعة ومساحات كبيرة من الزجاج في الواجهات لتمكين من دخول الضوء للفراغات الداخلية المعتمة, ومن بعدها ظهر الطراز الدولي, الذي كان أغلب واجهاته من الزجاج , وانتشر لكافة البلدان لتتحول العمارة في ظله الى عمارة اللازمان واللامكان. تطورت تقنية الواجهات الزجاجية ونضجت وصولا الى الجدران الستارية الزجاجية خلال العقود الاخيرة, فلم يعد رفض المعماريين وعلماء البيئة للواجهات المزججة بشكل كامل مقبولا بعد الآن بسبب الفهم العميق للخصائص الوظيفية المختلفة وتطور التقنيات الحديثة التي أظهرت الدور الإيجابي للجدران الستارية الزجاجية(جماليا,معماريا,اجتماعيا,بيئيا,انشائيا). سنقدم عرض مختصر لتاريخ استخدام الزجاج في العمارة وصولا إلى الجدران الستارية الزجاجية ومفهومها وأهم أنظمتها , وعرض لأهم أنواع الزجاج المستخدم فيها لإعطاء فكرة عن الخيارات المتاحة. ومن ثم تحليل الخصائص الوظيفية للجدران الستارية الزجاجية(الواجهات الزجاجية),ودراسة أمثلة عالمية وأمثلة محلية(من مدينة دمشق).
The start of glass used in architecture is for decorative purposes on the walls and ceilings, then, its use developments as a transparent windows (as in Gothic architecture), up to the greenhouses. Then, the industrial revolution came to help in the emergence of large public buildings such as buildings of railways and airports through the use of wide span and large expanses of glass in the façades to enable the entry of light to dark interior spaces. Later the international style emerged, which was most of its façades of glass, and spread to all countries, and the architecture transformed under it to timelessness and nowhere architecture. The technique of glass façades developed and grownup till the Glass Curtain Walls in recent decades, but refuse fully glazed façades by architects and environmental scientists are no longer acceptable anymore, because of a deep understanding of their various functional properties, and of the evolution of new technologies that have demonstrated the positive role of Glass Curtain Wall (aesthetically, architecturally, environmentally, socially, and structurally). This article provided a brief overview on the history of the use of the glass in architecture, concept of Glass Curtain Walls, and it’s most important systems and the most important types of glass, which used in it, to give you an idea of the available options of systems and types. Then analyzed the functional properties of the Glass Curtain Wall (glass façades), through a study of international and local examples (Damascus).

Recent studies show that many NLP systems are sensitive and vulnerable to a small perturbation of inputs and do not generalize well across different datasets. This lack of robustness derails the use of NLP systems in real-world applications. This tut
orial aims at bringing awareness of practical concerns about NLP robustness. It targets NLP researchers and practitioners who are interested in building reliable NLP systems. In particular, we will review recent studies on analyzing the weakness of NLP systems when facing adversarial inputs and data with a distribution shift. We will provide the audience with a holistic view of 1) how to use adversarial examples to examine the weakness of NLP models and facilitate debugging; 2) how to enhance the robustness of existing NLP models and defense against adversarial inputs; and 3) how the consideration of robustness affects the real-world NLP applications used in our daily lives. We will conclude the tutorial by outlining future research directions in this area.
The retaining walls are one of most types of engineering constructions and it have
built from natural stones before discovering concrete, Where natural stones have
considered one of the early human materials used in building engineering constructio
ns for
thousands of years, and many facilities in ancient civilization still existing effects so far,
And after the discovery of the concrete and reinforced concrete, the retaining walls which
was built from natural stones diminished relatively
Despite the years this retaining walls has not lost its luster and brilliance, and there
is increased interest in recent years in using new building material which consists of
manufactured stones where used together with traditional construction materials in several
areas both in geotechnical engineering or building … Etc .
This retaining walls present simple technical solutions and it is desirable for aesthetic
reasons and simple implementation and resistance to external conditions,
In addition to being economical solutions limited cost compared to traditional
reinforced concrete retaining walls.
This research deals with the study of the behavior of Segmental Stone Retaining
Walls (SRW) under the static and dynamic loads and parametric study of the most
important factors which influence stability of these retaining walls.
Cracks are considered important defects in concrete elements, it was noticed after constructing the reinforced concrete walls related to the Foundation, that after a short time after the hardening of concrete and without any overloading on the wall,
there have been vertical cracks of regular distances along each wall we noticed this phenomenon it had happened in many construction projects. We have described the situation, we have also explained, analyzed it by examining its reasons. By a thorough study of three projects carried out in lattakia including scale decanter, building of a tourist hotel and a trade centre, which crack width ranging from 1.25 mm to 3 mm, the height differed in each case studied. Ultimately we have found the practical solutions to avoid this phenomenon including adoption of longitudinal joints for reinforced concrete walls, spacing is about thirty times the wall thickness in order to avoid cracks caused by shrinkage and thermal stress where the depth of joint about 20 mm and the width ranging between 15 mm to 20 mm implemented on both sides of the wall internal and external. After hardening of concrete and lifting the wooden template fill the joints with filler flexible materials.
Common acquisition functions for active learning use either uncertainty or diversity sampling, aiming to select difficult and diverse data points from the pool of unlabeled data, respectively. In this work, leveraging the best of both worlds, we prop
ose an acquisition function that opts for selecting contrastive examples, i.e. data points that are similar in the model feature space and yet the model outputs maximally different predictive likelihoods. We compare our approach, CAL (Contrastive Active Learning), with a diverse set of acquisition functions in four natural language understanding tasks and seven datasets. Our experiments show that CAL performs consistently better or equal than the best performing baseline across all tasks, on both in-domain and out-of-domain data. We also conduct an extensive ablation study of our method and we further analyze all actively acquired datasets showing that CAL achieves a better trade-off between uncertainty and diversity compared to other strategies.
While neural networks are ubiquitous in state-of-the-art semantic parsers, it has been shown that most standard models suffer from dramatic performance losses when faced with compositionally out-of-distribution (OOD) data. Recently several methods ha
ve been proposed to improve compositional generalization in semantic parsing. In this work we instead focus on the problem of detecting compositionally OOD examples with neural semantic parsers, which, to the best of our knowledge, has not been investigated before. We investigate several strong yet simple methods for OOD detection based on predictive uncertainty. The experimental results demonstrate that these techniques perform well on the standard SCAN and CFQ datasets. Moreover, we show that OOD detection can be further improved by using a heterogeneous ensemble.
