Food consumption in the everyday life of liveable cities: design implications for conviviality

ABSTRACT

This paper focuses on the social aspects of food consumption in the public realm and how built environment design should include places for conviviality. Current urban planning may fulfil human needs, but in some cases, individuals have unpleasant experiences while meeting these needs. A review of existing literature indicates that studies of conviviality during food consumption has focused on design qualities. To investigate the Egyptian experiences in food consumption, the current study employed qualitative and quantitative approaches through four streams of data collection: observations, interviews, opinionnaire and permeability analysis of catchment areas. The results provide design implications for conviviality of food practices to discover the multilateral dimensions of design that can make social interactions part of a satisfying experience. This research concludes that for conviviality attached to food consumption, it is essential to focus on replicable aspects like supporting activities, social settings, and the design based on intent.     

公共领域的本质与表象

市民生活中公共领域的本质和表象包括有适合于地区中心和建筑所表达的适当的纪念性，同时要建立起具有地方特色的高水准的日常管理。欧林事务所近期在纽约市公共空间改善方面的工作提供了最适宜的和熟悉的公共领域。在这里，作者对欧林事务所在巴特办公园城、布赖恩特公园的设计作品和斯洛文尼亚的卢布尔雅那市的普列兹涅克公共空间的改善进行了比较，两者都表达了一种设计的共产主义观点，即（景观设计）是为日常活动和稳定的市民生活提供引导和建设性构架，而不是感性或形式的表达。     

Long Term Change in Level-Volume Relation of an Accountability Tank for Plutonium Nitrate Solution

A slight change in the level-volume relation for an accountability tank for a large amount of plutonium nitrate solution (PuN) was observed at the Plutonium Conversion Development Facility (PCDF) in the Power Reactor and Nuclear Fuel Development Corp. (PNC), Tokai Works. From the results of annual tank re-calibrations for the plutonium receiving tank from 1985 to 1992 using the incremental feed of nitric acid as the density standard, it became clear that the relation between the level and the volume changed slightly, and the rate of the change was a linear function of operating time. Also it became clear that the change was linear in relation to the level. In the PCDF, the cumulative change in the volume at the nominal level was evaluated to be 0.1% during 8 years' operation. It was also evaluated that the repeatability of the re-calibration is much better than 0.1%. A reasonable frequency of tank re-calibration is once every 5 years.     

A grounded theory examination of project managers' accountability

26 interviews were conducted with a snowball sample of project managers to explore how project managers were influenced by accountability arrangements and how they responded to accountability demands. Using a grounded theory approach to code the interview data, this study revealed that project managers develop new skills to respond to accountability demands. These effects are facilitated by the interaction of resource-based mechanisms and reflexivity that interact with the contextual factors of the project. The study broadens the understanding of accountability in project management and suggests a model for further empirical examination.     

Accurate Volume Measurement System for Plutonium Nitrate Solution

Abstract

An accurate volume measurement system for a large amount of plutonium nitrate solution stored in a reprocessing or a conversion plant has been developed at the Plutonium Conversion Development Facility (PCDF) in the Power Reactor and Nuclear Fuel Development Corp. (PNC) Tokai Works. A pair of differential digital quartz pressure transducers is utilized in the volume measurement system. To obtain high accuracy, it is important that the non-linearity of the transducer is minimized within the measurement range, the zero point is stabilized, and the damping property of the pneumatic line is designed to minimize pressure oscillation. The accuracy of the pressure measurement can always be within 2 Pa with re-calibration once a year. In the PCDF, the overall uncertainty of the volume measurement has been evaluated to be within 0.2%. This system has been successfully applied to the Japanese government's and IAEA's routine inspection since 1984.

可实现的理想国——加拿大KPMB建筑事务所新作解读

已跻身北美一流建筑事务所行列的KPMB事务所,始终保持着对建筑与城市的独立思考,并有意识地突破建筑事务所的工作范畴,在作品中注入了大量对城市问题的关注与对策,探索着建筑学更高层次的意义。＂Ourtopia＂是KPMB从事建筑创作的目标境界,也是理解其设计哲学的线索。从KPMB近期两个有关联性的作品入手,通过三个方面解读其建筑与城市紧密关联的设计哲学。     

基于善治视角的我国高校问责制发展趋向

当前,我国高校中的腐败现象、泛行政化倾向给高校的发展带来了许多消极影响,推行高校问责制是我国高校改革与发展的必然选择。善治为我国高校问责制的实施奠定了理论基础,善治视野下我国高校问责制的发展趋向主要有：由＂事后问责＂走向＂预防问责＂;由重＂问＂走向＂问＂与＂答＂的结合;由重＂惩＂走向＂奖＂与＂惩＂的结合;由注重＂他律＂走向＂自律＂与＂他律＂的结合;由注重＂上问下责＂走向＂下问上责＂与＂上问下责＂的结合。
