Perspective
Top interior designer Steven Gambrel's luxe aspirational cloth-bound tome showcases his latest home interiors. Using a classical approach injected with contemporary touches and vibrant color, he creates spaces for today rooted in the past. A connoisseur of historical styles, Gambrel's designs feature compelling reinterpretations of the past coupled with a sense of place. Rooms range in style from elegant country to high-gloss urban. A confident colorist, his daring palette includes bright pinks, emerald-greens, deep grays, and cerulean blues. His tactile surfaces--from shiny lacquer to rugged matte--provide an exciting textural contrast to the elegant antiques and vintage furnishings mixed seamlessly with his upholstered creations. For his second book, the designer gives insight into his unique sensibility with recent projects including his nineteenth-century townhouse in New York City's West Village; a lime-washed brick Bridgehampton beach house; a rustic, refined Zurich estate; the luxurious Astor Suite in Manhattan's Plaza Hotel; and a charming sea captain's house in Sag Harbor. These residences will inspire design aficionados.

Bound for Glory
TELL JEFFREY BILHUBER, A MANHATTAN INTERIOR designer, that a copy of \"David Adler: The Architect and His Work,\" by Richard Pratt, sold recently at a garage sale for a few dollars, and he just might burst into tears. \"That's how much I care,\" he says of the book, which is filled with photographs of chic Georgian exteriors and interiors in Jazz Age Chicago.

Hydrology in the Caribbean Basin
The idea for this Special Issue emerged from the recognition that the Caribbean Basin is fascinatingly diverse (26 countries border it), and a vast majority of its population are under threat from the intense pressures of climate change and human impacts [...]

Home at last : enduring design for the new American house
\"Bestselling author and popular American architect Gil Schafer returns with the final installment in his trilogy on the rewards of living in the American house. The work of Gil Schafer--one of the world's leading experts on contemporary traditional architecture--is beloved for its elegance, charm, and strong sense of history and place. Since his last book, Schafer has become a husband and stepfather, a change that has deepened his understanding of how a house must reflect and support the lives of those who live within its walls. Home at Last is a distillation of what he has learned and how he translates it to his work on houses that are adaptive to the evolution of life, depending upon a family's needs. The book includes homes he has designed in the mist-covered Hudson Valley, on a bluff above Lake Champlain, on the windswept shores of Block Island, and on the coast of Maine. Schafer shares the stories of these houses and their owners, exploring the choices made for architecture and interiors, and reemphasizing his guiding principles: how to create classical buildings that \"live modern\"; how to adapt buildings to different regions and ways of life; the connection to landscape; why fancy can coexist with simple, and traditional with modern. With original photography by Eric Piasecki, layered with practical takeaways, Home at Last is a tribute to the power of the American house.

Decay competition in IMF production in the collisions 78Kr+40Ca and 86Kr+48Ca at 10 AMeV
De-excitation modes of compound systems 118Ba and 134Ba' produced respectively in the 78Kr+40Ca and 86Kr+48Ca collisions at 10 A.MeV' are investigated. In particular' the competition between the various disintegration decay paths of medium mass compound nuclei' formed by fusion processes and the isospin (related to N/Z) of the entrance channel influence on the decay process' are studied. Data were taken at the INFN-Laboratori Nazionali del Sud (LNS) in ISODEC experiment' by using the CHIMERA array. The experiment complements and improves the previous experiment performed at GANIL where the same mechanisms were studied at lower excitation energies. The results show the presence of a relaxed component in the reaction mechanism' evident staggering effects in the Z distributions' as well as different isotopic composition and neutron enrichment for the reaction products in the two systems.

Isospin influence on the decay modes of the systems produced in the 78,86Kr +40,48Ca reactions at 10 AMeV
The results of the analysis of the reactions 78,86Kr +40,48 Ca at 10 AMeV are presented. The experiment was performed at the INFN Laboratori Nazionali del Sud (LNS) in Catania by using the 4π multidetector CHIMERA, with beams delivered by the Superconductive Cyclotron. The competition among the various disintegration paths and in particular the isospin effects on the decay modes of the produced composite systems are investigated; this provides information about fundamental nuclear quantities such as level density, fission barrier and viscosity. Different isotopic composition and relative richness are observed among the reaction products of the two systems. An odd-even staggering effect is present in the charge distributions, in particular for the light fragments produced by the neutron-poor system. The kinematical characteristics of the IMF seem to indicate a high degree of the relaxation of the formed system. Besides, global features analysis seems to show some differences in the contribution arising from the various reaction mechanisms for the two reactions.
