چکیده
With this often quoted statement, Albert Kahn sought to differentiate his firm’s approach from that of his peers and competitors in the first half of the twentieth century. Coinciding with the rapid industrialization of the American economy during this period, Albert Kahn Associates (AKA) developed to be the premier industrial architects of this country, if not of the entire world. Kahn’s practice, originally founded in 1895 as Nettleton, Kahn and Trowbridge, embraced technological innovation from the very beginning, and focused on applying new approaches to emerging markets with new and specialized demands. Most notably, Kahn is credited by many historians with creating the architectural conditions necessary for the development of the continuous assembly line by Henry Ford, an early and long-standing client of Kahn’s. In fact, the automotive industry has continued to be the largest market segment served by AKA to this day. But the firm has never concentrated solely on industrial architecture, and their practice has been broadly focused on other segments like office, educational and institutional buildings. Today, health care facilities form the second largest segment served by AKA.

Ambiguous Multi-Symmetric Scheme and Applications
This paper introduces and evaluates the performance of a novel cipher scheme, Ambiguous Multi-Symmetric Cryptography (AMSC), which conceals multiple coherent plain-texts in one cipher-text. The cipher-text can be decrypted by different keys to produce different plain-texts. Security analysis showed that AMSC is secure against cipher-text only and known plain-text attacks. AMSC has the following...
متن کاملEvidence for direct involvement of epirubicin in the formation of chromosomal translocations in t(15;17) therapy-related acute promyelocytic leukemia.
Therapy-related acute promyelocytic leukemia (t-APL) with t(15;17)(q22;q21) involving the PML and RARA genes is associated with exposure to agents targeting topoisomerase II (topoII), particularly mitoxantrone and epirubicin. We previously have shown that mitoxantrone preferentially induces topoII-mediated DNA damage in a "hotspot region" within PML intron 6. To investigate mechanisms underlyin...
متن کاملAustralian Aborigines’ Reconstructed History in Robert Merritt’s Play,The Cake Man
One of the parts and parcels of postcolonial literature is to deconstruct the history written by imperialism and to present the one as experienced by the colonized. As victims of British colonialism, Australian Aborigines have always mirrored the historical religious and territorial subjugation of their land in their writings, especially in their dramatic literature because of its high populari...
