Thesis: M. Eng., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, 2018., Cataloged from PDF version of thesis., Includes bibliographical references (pages 80-81)., The Trans World Airline Flight Center at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York is one of the most recognizable structural expressionist buildings of the 2 0 "' century. Designed by architect Eero Saarinen, the structure features an expansive 310' by 220' (95 x 67 meters) roof composed of four vaulted shells only supported by four buttresses along the edges. Structural engineering was fulfilled by Ammann and Whitney, who had worked with Saarinen previously on Kresge Auditorium. The structure was designed by hand without the aid of modern finite element software. This thesis examines the collaboration between the architects and engineers and attempts to dissect some of the major structural changes that occurred during development, most notably with the addition of massive skylights that separated the roof from one shell into four connected at the center. The original analysis method, described in a 1962 International Association of Shells and Spatial Structures paper, is reviewed and compared to a model constructed in Rhino 3D and tested using Karamba 3D parametric structural analysis software. The application of these digital tools can potentially allow far more inventive designs into the future and give engineers more confidence in the structures that they build., by Alexander Papp., M. Eng.

Associate Professor Allan Badley (Associate Dean, Creative Arts and Industries, The University of Auckland) and The Right Honourable Sir Anand Satyanand GNZM QSO present awards to the first three recipients of the evening: William (Bill) Robertson ONZM, Jan Beagle, and Robert McLeod., On this special occasion we will celebrate the achievements of our 2018 Distinguished Alumni Award winners and the contribution that they are making in their respective fields, ranging from fine art to business leadership. Each of them has built on the knowledge and skills they acquired at our University, excelling in their chosen careers in New Zealand and around the world. Hosted by Professor Jennifer (Jenny) Dixon, Deputy Vice Chancellor - Strategic Engagement, The University of Auckland.

William (Bill) Robertson ONZM, DipTownPlan 1969, MPP Well. 1980, Hon DSurv Melb.1999 (Creative Arts and Industries) talks to Finlay MacDonald at Bright Lights 2018. Bill Robertson is a world-renowned figure in surveying and mapping. He was Director General/Surveyor General of the NZ Government Department of Survey and Land Information from 1987 until 1996 and a Director of Military Survey and Mapping for the NZ Army. He was President of the New Zealand Planning Institute and served two terms as President of the Commonwealth Institute of Planners., Bright Lights showcases the University of Auckland's Distinguished Alumni Award recipients for 2018 in a candid, entertaining onstage discussion led by alumnus and Qantas Media Award-winner Finlay Macdonald.

From the fungus Chaetomium affine C o r d a three complex metabolites have been isolated of which two, chaetochrysin and chaetoflavin, are yellow isomerides having the molecular formula C31H26O11. The third compound, chaetoalbin, C30H28-30O11, is colourless and appears to be closely related to chaetochrysin. The results of preliminary investigations on the structures of the metabolites are described.
