What does community mean to you? Describe and name a facility serving some aspect of “community” (building, park, gazebo, garden,?). Where is it? Who does it serve? What is the purpose, the audience or people it serves, its capacity, its scope?
Facility serving some aspect of “community”
Community is not only the people, places, and experiences that we have in common. It is also the gaps between and within those commonalities. It is important for you to see those who are the same as you, and those who are different, as all being part of your community. Community facilities enhance the lives of residents in numerous ways. Parks provide green space and room to move for people in crowded city neighborhood (for example, Central Park in New York and Golden Gate Park in San Francisco). Libraries, museums, community centers, and performance spaces open doors to knowledge and ideas, culture, and enjoyment. Medical facilities encourage and safeguard health, and public transportation offers mobility and access to other areas.
organic phase resulted in increasing mean size [149],and D. Quintanar-Guerrero et al., 1999 [215] who used emulsion-diffusion method to prepare Eudragit E nanoparticles using Eudragit E/ethyl acetate/PVAL system and cellulose acetate phthalate (CAP) nanoparticles using cellulose acetate phthalate/2-butanone/Poloxamer 407 system and in two systems it was found that there is a switch between micro and nanoparticles depending on polymer concentration in internal organic phase where, as polymer concentration increased, size of produced particles significantly increased [215]. On the other hand, these results are disagreeing with those reported in Ahmed, I.S., et al.,2014 [216] who prepared poly-Ɛ- caprolactone nanoparticles by solvent displacement method and investigated the effect of polymer concentration on particle size. It was found that increasing polymer concentration from (0.5 to 0.8% w/v) at surfactant concentration (0.5% w/v) resulted in increasing particle size while, at the same surfactant concentration and increasing polymer concentration to (1% w/v) particle size decreased. Also, increasing polymer concentration from (0.5 to 0.8% w/v) at surfactant concentration (1% w/v) resulted in decreasing particle size while, at the same surfactant concentration and polymer concentration was increased to (1% w/v) particle size increased. These results were attributed to that at low polymer concentration and high surfactant concentration, the solubility of polymer in acetone/water mixture might have increased due to the solubilizing effect of the surfactant leading to slower rate of polymer precipitation and formation of larger particles. While at higher polymer concentration the effect of surfactant on solubility was less marked leading to higher precipitation rate and the formation of smaller particles [216].
The higher polymer concentration might also results in increasing viscosity of the organic phase, which might decrease the diffusion rate and might lower the rate of Ostwald ripening for the more viscous solutions so smaller particles were produced [217].
