Generating reliable quantities‐price data

The writers propose a tentative specification for a simulation quantities‐price generation model. The ultimate purpose is to harness statistical methods to the task of exploring relationships between design and cost, leading to the development of a valid estimating method; a pilot research programme on the latter aspect has already begun. It is also hoped that such a model will facilitate tender documentation by computer. The authors are lecturers in the Department of Quantity Surveying and Building Economics at the University of Natal.     

Designing a Collaborative Visual Analytics Tool for Social and Technological Change Prediction

This paper discussed about GreenOracle which an interdisciplinary team designed and developed. GreenOracle is a collaborative visual analytics tool for predicting global climate change's impact on US power grids and its implications for society and national security. These future scenarios provide critical assessments and information to help policymakers and stakeholders formulate a coherent and unified strategy toward shaping a safe and secure society.     

折剪机床设计及关键零件的有限元分析

介绍了在小型折弯、剪切两用机床设计：干发中，采用了连杆增力机构和齿轮同步机构，实现了在小缸径单杆液压缸驱动下的增力和滑块运动的同步性。在SolidWorks中建立零件的三维模型，用COSMOSXpress对关键零件进行有限元分析，并根据分析结果优化了零件结构。     

Reading in graduate school: A survey of doctoral students in clinical psychology.

To what extent do graduate students in clinical psychology complete assigned readings? A total of 744 graduate students in American Psychological Association-accredited doctoral programs completed an online survey regarding reading in graduate school (67% response rate, of those viewing the survey). The reported amount of assigned reading varied widely, with an average of 330 pages per week. Compliance ratings suggested that about half the assigned reading is completed thoroughly and that thorough reading is more common than skimming or not reading assigned material. Motivating and hindering factors for reading are reported, and implications for faculty are considered. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)

邯宝炼钢厂板坯连铸机结晶器振动导向研究

针对板坯连铸机结晶器振动纵向横向偏摆问题，对结晶器振动装置应用情况进行研究分析，用硬度仪打硬度的方法分析了辊子单元导向的磨损情况。使用新型棍子材质并经热处理代替原进口辊子本体，重新改进润滑油路，采用更适应高温高湿环境的不锈钢内六角螺栓，重新设计制作了一种耐磨长寿命辊子单元，在线使用效果显示使用寿命已经达到18个月且仍然完好，偏摆问题得到纠正，达到预期目的。     

实验场 洛杉矶IN.DENT牙科诊所

正由AN.ONYMOUS团队设计的IN.DENT牙科诊所,不仅在149 m2的空间实现了丰富职能,更将建筑作为人身体的延伸,成为一处让人反思的空间设计实验场。作为空间规划的依据,三角形吊顶系统明确地划定出这个医疗空间所容纳的复杂职能:T形走廊串联了诊所的公共接待区、无菌治疗室、手术室和医护办公区,走廊两侧治疗室的空间围合成梯形,相较于传统的矩形平面,它可以为诊所分隔出更
