Toward the adaptation of component‐based architectures by model transformation: behind smart user interfaces

Graphical user interfaces are not always developed for remaining static. There are GUIs with the need of implementing some variability mechanisms. Component‐based GUIs are an ideal target for incorporating this kind of operations, because they can adapt their functionality at run‐time when their structure is updated by adding or removing components or by modifying the relationships between them. Mashup user interfaces are a good example of this type of GUI, and they allow to combine services through the assembly of graphical components. We intend to adapt component‐based user interfaces for obtaining smart user interfaces. With this goal, our proposal attempts to adapt abstract component‐based architectures by using model transformation. Our aim is to generate at run‐time a dynamic model transformation, because the rules describing their behavior are not pre‐set but are selected from a repository depending on the context. The proposal describes an adaptation schema based on model transformation providing a solution to this dynamic transformation. Context information is processed to select at run‐time a rule subset from a repository. Selected rules are used to generate, through a higher‐order transformation, the dynamic model transformation. This approach has been tested through a case study which applies different repositories to the same architecture and context. Moreover, a web tool has been developed for validation and demonstration of its applicability. The novelty of our proposal arises from the adaptation schema that creates a non pre‐set transformation, which enables the dynamic adaptation of component‐based architectures.

Supramolecular Architectures of Nucleic Acid/Peptide Hybrids

Supramolecular architectures that are built artificially from biomolecules, such as nucleic acids or peptides, with structural hierarchical orders ranging from the molecular to nano-scales have attracted increased attention in molecular science research fields. The engineering of nanostructures with such biomolecule-based supramolecular architectures could offer an opportunity for the development of biocompatible supramolecular (nano)materials. In this review, we highlighted a variety of supramolecular architectures that were assembled from both nucleic acids and peptides through the non-covalent interactions between them or the covalently conjugated molecular hybrids between them.     

基于村落宅图的分类及量化研究——以徽州传统村落群为例

本文以江西省婺源县沱川乡理坑、浙源乡虹关以及思口镇西冲的3次村落测绘作为研究的起点,逐步拓展至对12份徽州传统村落宗族图谱中的村落宅图进行分类及量化研究。通过对村落宅图的研究来还原徽州传统村落群的空间形态,探究其背后的地缘影响、血缘纽带和社会维系,归纳总结出9种村落群的基本构成要素及其所占比率,揭示村落群的空间构成和形态要素。希望在此基础上推演村落群形态的历史演变过程,还原与诠释村落群背后隐藏的内在秩序。     

Structural Characteristics and Contemporary Value of Traditional Water Cultural Landscapes in Huizhou Region

Water culture is one of the key issues in Water Ecological Civilization. China’s traditional water cultural landscape embodies rich water cultures, and have a significance in related research and protection practice. This paper proposes the concept of “water cultural landscape,” that is, the landscape formed through humans’ environmental alteration during water activities—including how people use, transform, and manage it. The traditional water cultural landscapes in Huizhou Region have developed over hundreds of years, reflecting the locals’ wisdom in sustainable water use. The water cultural landscape in Huizhou Region should be interpreted as a systematic notion, in which all landscape elements such as ponds, weirs, and shuikous are interdependent, composing the landscape components e.g. valleys, hills, and basins, and establishing water security patterns for cities, towns, villages, and for production. The traditional water cultural landscape in Huizhou Region requires local generations’ long-term maintenance and management, and in turn it is also vital to Huizhou people's life and Huizhou culture. Today, it acts as an ecological infrastructure for sponge countryside and sponge city construction, and an important resource for heritage protection and tourism development.     

流行现象与当代中国城市建筑

当代中国城市是流行语汇的消费者，流行建筑的动作机制形成了一种产业化模式。流行建筑不仅是一种社会现象，更是一种没有固定意义的符号代码，是一种非自足的存在。     

山地建筑单体的形态设计探讨

基于山地建筑活动越来越多的背景,作为<浙江省利用山地丘陵进行城镇建设的技术经济评价体系>课题的先期研究内容,从山地建筑的形态特征入手,通过对建筑单体的接地形式、出入口及内部的布置、建筑的意象等较全面探讨了山地建筑形态塑造设计手法,以期对山地丘陵地区城镇建设活动提供一些借鉴.     

徽州民居水园之理与趣

徽州传统民居水园因其凝聚着独特的造园理念和人文情趣,而获得了生动鲜明的建筑意象。本文在广泛考察现存徽州民居水园的基础上,参照相关文献史料,探讨其造园技艺与文化内涵,初步总结出其主要特征和基本理念:得水为上,因水为园,巧用宅地．功能多样,理趣交融,更注重功利性与生活情调。此系通往中国园林意境之又一蹊径,值得当代建筑师、规划师学习借鉴。     

徽派古民居建筑的地域文化特征

徽派建筑是中国古代社会后期成熟的建筑流派，地域文化特征极为鲜明，尤其是作为微州人生存文化最直观载体的古民居建筑，是古代徽州社会历史文化的见证。徽派古民居的选址布局深受徽州风水理论影响，尤其注重水口营造。徽派古民居的内部结构格局生动体现了徽州宗法制度及其观念形态。徽商“商而兼士，贾而好儒”的独特文化品格，成就了古民居内部装饰与陈设的独特艺术魅力。     

徽州古村落与水口园林的文化景观成因探颐

以徽州古村落及其水口园林为研究目标,通过对宗氏族谱、方志等记载的历史上相关风水选址活动的探究,结合大量的实例参照与图例的比对,对其村落格局、水系、人文景观等文化积淀的成因进行深层次的分析。特别是针对村落水流出口且被视为村落门户和灵魂的“水口”,对其景观建构、功能特性、文化属性进行了较为详细的阐述。结合新农村建设的发展势头,试图从中发现可供我国当前乡村景观格局借鉴的传统“天人合融”的精神本质。     

粤港澳大湾区惠州市地质环境安全综合评价

地质环境安全评价是一项关于国土空间规划的基础性工作,其目的是对人类生命财产、城镇和工程建设构成威胁的地质环境问题进行评价。惠州市为粤港澳大湾区东部中心城市,经济总量位居广东省第五,为粤港澳大湾区经济增量最快最大的城市。开展惠州地区地质环境安全评价,对城市建设和生态系统的发展有着极为重大的意义。本文选择惠州市惠城区惠南湖片区进行综合地质评价,通过实地野外调查采样分析,查明该区内地层岩石、地质构造等特征以及地下水类型、地质灾害发育情况和水土环境质量与污染状况,在此基础上进行综合评价,并将研究区按工程建设及国土空间开发适宜性进行分区,其中适宜区面积2.43 km²,占比40.50%;基本适宜区面积0.69 km²,占比11.50%;适宜性差区面积2.18 km²,占比为36.33%;不适宜区面积0.69 km²,占比11.50%。研究成果可为惠州城市整体规划、工程建设与开发利用等提供基础性地质资料和科学建议。
