The politics of gating (A response to Private Security and Public Space by Manzi and Smith-Bowers) by Rowland Atkinson

“…I argue that the key ‘problematic’ raised by gated communities is less one of empirical evidence on their impacts, since much work already points to a range of problems, and rather what these developments forecast for the character and dynamics of the urban spaces and societies we wish to live in. At the heart of my position lies a concern that either bolstering the case for gated communities or seeing them as neutral objects in the landscapes around us risks amplifying the further construction of impermeable boundaries. …”

Evaluation of Building Seismic Capacity Based on Improved Naive Bayesian Algorithm by Yalong Li, Wei Wang, Bin Tan, Hongxia Wang

“…The research results indicate the following: (1) the accuracy of model evaluation is 93%, with model accuracy and recall rates of 0.913 and 0.93, respectively, indicating strong generalization ability of the model. (2) Selecting some actual examples of a building, the model judgment results are consistent with the actual results, verifying the correctness of the proposed method for building the model, which can be effectively used for determining the seismic capacity of building structures. (3) Applying the proposed method to the seismic capacity assessment of buildings in the Ta-pieh Mountains of Lu’an, it is concluded that the seismic capacity of urban buildings is common, while that of rural buildings is poor.…”

The Mechanics of Fear: Organic Haunted Houses in American Cinema by Anne-Marie Paquet-Deyris

Not unlike the next houses on the block, sometimes even belonging to the same housing development, they nevertheless come alive through the impetus given by some obscure catalizer. …”
