Ove Pettersson 《Fire Technology》1965,1(2):146-150
The author contends a great imbalance exists between two fundamental concepts in designing buildings. On the one hand, considerable
care and thought go into designing for static and dynamic loads; but design for fire resistance is dealt with in an extremely
conventional and stereotyped way. He feels it is essential—in Scandinavian and in other countries—that long-term experimental
and theoretical research programs be undertaken so that design for fire resistance can be carried out in conformity with fundamental
principles conventionally used in static design of load-bearing structures.
Note: This article is based on Proceeding No. 129 (1964), “General Programme for Scandinavian Long-term Research,” of the National

This paper addresses three neglected issues in the restructuring of housing policy and provision in the UK in the 1980s and
1990s: first, the relationship between welfare restructuring and management regimes; second, the nature of local variations
in the impact of welfare restructuring; and third, the significance of human agency interpretations of change. The paper starts
by summarizing the main features of welfare state restructuring and then considers recent manifestations of citizenship and
managerialism in housing. Three competing conceptions of citizenship rights are used to examine changing notions of welfare:
“market efficiency”, “institutionalized rights” and the “radical challenge” provided by social movements. A four-part typology
of the main concepts and themes in the “new public management”—“efficiency”, “downsizing and decentralization”, “excellence”
and “public service”—is used to present the main components of change in management regimes. The paper draws on literatures
on housing management, citizenship and “the new public management” and on recent research into tenant participation, housing
rights and housing advice services. Conclusions are drawn about how tensions between different conceptions of citizenship
and public management are implicated with national and global influences at the local level to create particular welfare outcomes. 相似文献

A well-formed spatial model should most likely not produce spatial autocorrelation at all. From this perspective spatial autocorrelation
is not (pure) statistical nuisance but a sign of that a model lacks a representation of an important economic phenomenon.
In a Knowledge Production Function (KPF) context, this paper shows that a representation of space reflecting the potential
of physical interaction between localities by means of accessibility variables on the “right-hand-side”—a simple alternative
to spatial lag and spatial error which can be estimated by OLS—captures substantive spatial dependence. Results are verified
with Monte Carlo simulations based on Anselin’s (Int Reg Sci Rev 26(2):153–166, 2003) taxonomy of modelled and unmodelled
effects. The analysis demonstrates that an accessibility representation of explanatory variables depict the network nature
of spatial interaction, such that spatial dependence is actually modelled. 相似文献

This paper describes the building of a new open static “output–output” (O–O) model in comparison to the open static input–ouput
(I–O) model developed by Leontief (Rev Econ Stat 18:105–125, 1936). While the I–O model can be characterized as a system that
relates final demand to gross output, the O–O model relates gross output for final demand (endogenous or exogenous) to gross
output for output (endogenous). We perform a comparative analysis between the two models in structure and characteristics
and illustrate the usefulness of the O–O model, for example, by formulating I–O multipliers that can accept output as an initial
change. The comprehensive analysis conducted in this paper, including a numerical illustration with an example, shows that
the two models form a mutually supplementary relationship and could give rise to a fundamental framework for the analyses
of various regional and national economic activities. 相似文献

The production of particular spaces for tourist consumption of the “exotic” other involves the performance of particular conceptualizations
of people and places that recreates theatrical versions of the primitive. Through analysis of one such space—Nyoni’s Kraal
in Cape Town—we contend that both hosts and visitors are complicit in the construction of these spaces and imaginaries. To
this end, practices of social and spatial policing as well as performativity and representations of cultural constructs of
an “authentic Africa” are deployed in the projection of a specific form of constructed, “benign” multiculturalism. We contend
that such practices reproduce a mythical idyll of Africa for consumption that recreates—rather than questions—colonial power
structures, and therefore remain imbued with the inequitable and uncertain outcomes of modernity.

The quality of water from public drinking water supply system, from artesian wells in Kiev and bottled non-carbonated drinking
water produced by various companies was investigated using a set of animal and plant test organisms. The integral index—a
total toxicity index which allowed researchers to classify water into different categories from “safe” to “highly hazardous”

The first fifty years of the Western Regional Science Association: the making of the WRSA brand 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
In 1954 the Regional Science Association held its first conference in Detroit, Michigan. Seven years later, in 1961, the Western
Regional Science Association was founded as one of the four United States-based sections (the Northeastern, the Southern,
the Mid-Continent, and the Western). In the 50 years since its founding, the WRSA has met its obligation to promote regional
science in Western North America and has gone beyond that initial mandate to promote regional science internationally and
to become an association that truly delivers on the somewhat whimsical motto: “The way academic life should be.” In this paper,
coauthored by the Association’s three long-term Executive Secretaries, W. W. Rostow’s model of the stages for economic advancement
is employed, by analogy, to interpret the historical development of the Western Regional Science Association—and of its distinctive
“brand”—over its first half century. 相似文献

The purpose of this paper is to explore how the “Beaux-Arts” “composition” sustained the constitution of design principles
for architectural production in China in the last two decades of the twentieth century. “Composition”, a key technique of
the “Beaux-Arts” system, is not a simple act of “putting elements together” into a unified whole, but also relates to an array
of different “constructions” of architectural knowledge which regulate and sustain the act of design. Through analysing the
structure of three “textbooks” published in the early 1980s, this paper examines three aspects of the “constructions”: the
setting up of the principles for governing architectural forms, regularisation of design methods and approaches for architectural
practice, and the construction of a “tradition” for the expression of “Chineseness”. 相似文献

Spatial structure in an open city with a subcenter 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1
A comparative static analysis is performed in the setting of an open city with a subcenter. Transportation system in a duo-centric
city is assumed to consist of not only “spoke-roads” but “circle streets”. Under the assumptions of no land input into production
and the exogenous wage rate, most comparative statics results, including the effects of changing the location of a subcenter,
can be determined unambiguously.

Our study introduces a Spatial Efficiency Index. Its definition is based on the traditional concepts of “technology set” and
“distance function”, as well as on spatial econometric methods. This index measures productive efficiency in each productive
unit in relation to its close environment, instead of comparing each unit with all others. This way both local efficiency
patterns and the highest local efficiency inequalities can be identified. An empirical application was developed so as to
analyse data from Small and Medium sized Spanish Industrial Enterprises, using nonparametric Data Envelopment Analysis techniques.
Our proposal is a contribution to the development of indexes that explicitly include proximity relations—a field with countless
research possibilities. 相似文献

Accepting that successful “development” is premised on a population's participation in a collective undertaking, we must understand
urban residents' interactions and ambitions. In African cities being transformed by geographic and social mobility, it is
unclear what forms of inclusion, solidarity, or mutual recognition are desired or possible among those who live there. This
paper argues that the pursuit of three objectives—profit, protection, and passage—is shaping these cities' social formations
in ways that limit the ability of official and non-official institutions to interweave popular aspirations—however temporarily—to
promote a common and mutually beneficial future. The paper starts from the premise that the novelty of the emerging social
forms within Africa's cities requires a willingness to induce: to build a conceptual vocabulary of belonging reflecting practices
of those living in and moving through Africa's cities. Only after doing this will we have the building blocks for further
debate. With this in mind, the paper works towards a pair of interrelated tasks. The first is to challenge three premises
often informing discussions of mobility and urban politics: (1) the presence of a dominant host community or political order;
(2) that cities are destinations and not points of transit; and (3) that state institutions are the primary source of exclusion
and the most potent tool for fostering inclusion in a collective endeavor. Second, it considers one form of membership and
inclusion that can emerge where the presumptions outlined above do not hold. In doing so, it points to a kind of “tactical
cosmopolitanism”, a set of discourses and practices that can subvert ethnic or national chauvinism and restrictive migration
or anti-urbanization policies and practices. Drawing primarily on examples from Johannesburg, it shows how migrants negotiate
partial inclusion in transforming societies without becoming bounded by them. The paper ends by reflecting briefly on the
challenges such tactics pose for generating a collective urban project. 相似文献

The today-availability of powerful engineering equation solvers is opening very new possibilities in technical component modelling
and in system simulation. The simulation models, the “user guide” and the “reference guide” are all included in a same file.
Reliable “reference” and “simplified” models are currently available for the building zone and for most (heating, ventilation
and air-conditioning) HVAC components. Focus is given here on “simplified” models and on a simulation tool, called “Benchmark”.
This tool should help an auditor to make the best use of the limited information usually available about actual fuel and electricity
consumptions and to get a very first evaluation of the actual performances of a given HVAC system. An example of such use
is presented. Another simulation tools and more information about the modelling of HVAC components will be presented in a
further paper. 相似文献

The authors brought forward the definition of “Gestalt space” and indicated this kind of space can be easily cognized. Three
experiments showed that “classification” and “grouping” are the human strategies to solve wayfinding problems. “Similarity”
and “Legibility” of the space are advantageous to help people to complete wayfinding tasks. The designer should provide the
essential “Legibility” in Gestalt space, by using some techniques such as “break” and “accession” to settle the wayfinding
problem.

Economic reforms in Eastern Europe and Eastern Europe's integration into the world economy are supposed to induce fundamental
changes into European trade patterns. This will affect regions in the EU differently, depending on location and specialization.
The article quantifies the impact of changing trade flows on EU regional manufacturing. Estimates are based on comparative
static simulations, using an empirically calibrated computable partial equilibrium model of interregional trade. The spatial
EU output pattern under status-quo conditions is compared with an optimistic “successful reform scenario”. The article explains
the model structure and its calibration, and presents results for 13 manufacturing industries. 相似文献

Firm-level data sets on foreign manufacturing plants in four Central and Eastern European Countries are used in this paper,
to trace their location and estimate the determinants of their choice processes. A nested logit model as developed by McFadden
(1974) is used in the analysis. A central focus of the analysis is foreign direct investment (FDI) which is a good indicator
of where location of foreign investments is made. Several reasons explain the need for mapping the location of FDI. First
of all, it facilitates understanding the real competitiveness of regions and countries in providing location advantages able
to complement multi-national enterprises’ (MNE) specific advantages. Secondly, it directly shows the distribution of the benefits
usually associated with FDI. Finally, an understanding of FDI location decisions is important for policy makers who believe
that MNEs may offer a positive contribution to the economic development of disadvantaged areas and thus correct potential
regional imbalances. The main results show that sector specific factors affect the choice of the final location. These unobserved
characteristics influence both the determinants and the structure of MNEs location choice process.

The policy of “leave early or stay and defend”, often shortened to the “stay or go” policy, has been the subject of critical
review in the Royal Commission that followed the recent disastrous bushfires in Victoria, Australia. The need for people to
evacuate or stay and defend their property and protect themselves is a critical life safety decision for many people on days
of high bushfire activity. Some limited research has been undertaken into this individual decision making in bushfires. Other
fields of emergency management also require people to make similar decisions as to whether to evacuate or stay in a “defend
in place” situation. This paper examines research into “stay or go” strategies and decision making performance for high rise
buildings, looking for common factors that may inform the bushfire situation and potential reforms for policy. Similarly,
research into Hurricane Katrina and the failures to evacuate when mandated provide further insight into factors which can
affect or postpone decision making. A number of common improvements related to emergency preparedness, situation awareness
and trusted communication systems emerge in all these fields. However, this paper also suggests that this decision making
in bushfires is more complex that just two simple options of “stay or go”. A greater understanding of group behavior and socio-cultural
factors and their impact on personal decision making is required if more effective emergency management is to occur in the
bushfire domain. 相似文献
