Different teaching methods make students’ educational experience hard and even frustrating. This article suggests a framework for architectural design courses that aims to provide a general road map according to which information is addressed in parallel with theoretical information gained from other courses. It is based on the three main issues of architectural design as defined by Vitruvius; namely, function, structure, and form. Two other issues are also addressed: the social and the environmental side. The framework was applied for two semesters at the International University for Science and Technology in Damascus; open juries were also used for the first time. Results obtained from questionnaires and interviews indicate acceptance of the proposed framework and the idea of open juries by faculty and students. However, the application of the framework requires longer time to be fully and seriously accepted and then adopted by faculty. Students were enthusiastic about the open jury.

The research Problem lies in the ambiguity of the association relationship between the geometrical shapes and the energy surrounding them and impacting the living things in the architectural and urban space and understanding the architectural design principles that governing the design of geometrical shapes in public and especially architectural buildings commensurate with this relationship.
Architectural design process is relatively complex considered due to the different content with users difference, therefore, each design has its own advantages that are difficult to standardize the process, as some have seen as architectural design that is a process of producing a one-time, making it difficult architectural design quality measurement result of not atypical The criteria used. Architectural design will be addressed as a result of a series of decisions on the key aspects that make up the elements of quality in design and that it must work to improve the quality of any design process. The research presents a theoretical study on the global architectural design used for quality assessment tools (eg DQI, DEEP, AEDET, HQI, LEED, BREEAM, BQA) to see the certified quality standards in each tool as a step towards the formation of a general framework for the concept of the architectural design of residential buildings quality of during a field study of the standards derived to determine the architectural design standards for residential buildings in Latakia The research found a set of standards governing the quality of the architectural design of residential buildings in Lattakia.
Driving simulators are valuable research tool for conducting driving studies instead of conducting these studies on the real roads. However, to be accepted as a representative of the real world, a driving simulator must provide an acceptable degree o f realism. It is always a goal of the designers of driving simulators to increase their degree of realism as possible. However, increasing the realism of a driving simulator leads to increasing its cost beyond the allocated cost. So it is common to build a driving simulator initially with an acceptable degree of realism and then have it undergo continuous changes to increase its realism whenever there is a chance to do so. The objective of this paper is to present a modular design of the software components of a fixed-base driving simulator. By following this design, it is possible to start building a simulator with a degree of realism that can continually be increased by improving each of the software components alone without the need to radically change other components of the simulator. This design also helps to build economical alternatives while conducting a study on a simulator and to collect the experiment data by providing specialized software components for these tasks.
The design of milking spaces, which are called Mahlab, is considered as the main factor for many experts in agricultural engineering and animal production. The main aim is to determine the optimum parlour milking with highest production and little stress, whereas the parlour milking is considered as the most important design factor in the barn because it is Influences getting the milk in cattle productivity farms. According to the importance of milk production, which effects on the local production and economy, this paper treats with the most effective factors in the design of parlour milking in cattle farms, in order to be suitable for dairy cattle production by considering its numbers, its movement and its suitable space. So, this reflects its impacts on the level of production, in addition it shows the most important type of parlour milking in the world that reflects the advantages and disadvantages that determine the type and size of required parlour milking and its location and relationship with the cattle barn.
We propose a generative framework for simultaneous machine translation. Conventional approaches use a fixed number of source words to translate or learn dynamic policies for the number of source words by reinforcement learning. Here we formulate simu ltaneous translation as a structural sequence-to-sequence learning problem. A latent variable is introduced to model read or translate actions at every time step, which is then integrated out to consider all the possible translation policies. A re-parameterised Poisson prior is used to regularise the policies which allows the model to explicitly balance translation quality and latency. The experiments demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the generative framework, which achieves the best BLEU scores given different average translation latencies on benchmark datasets.
