Storm-Water Management Using Street Sweeping

Although street sweeping is commonly regarded as a cost-effective storm-water best management practice, there is little quantitative evidence that street sweeping directly improves runoff water quality. In this paper, several previous street sweeping studies were reevaluated using statistical power analysis. Two-group, independent-sample one-sided t-test power analyses were performed using log-transformed event mean concentrations (EMCs) of total suspended solids, suspended sediment concentration or chemical oxygen demand. The effect size between the two groups was estimated using the sweepers’ pickup efficiency, which showed that the failure to detect the difference between mean EMCs of the two sample groups (i.e., unswept and swept groups) is likely due to limited sample numbers. Too few samples, which also resulted in a high coefficient of variation, were analyzed to detect the likely difference between swept and unswept observations. In addition, the temporal gap between street sweeping and subsequent storm events was not controlled to improve statistical power.     

Award for Distinguished Professional Contributions to Independent Practice.

The Award for Distinguished Professional Contributions to Independent Practice is intended to recognize outstanding independent practitioners in psychology. Nominations are considered for psychologists working in any area of clinical specialization, health services provision, or consulting, for services provided to any patient population or professional clientele in an independent setting. Services provided to diverse client groups or patient populations, including but not limited to children/adolescents/adults/older adults, urban/rural/frontier populations, minority populations, and persons with serious mental illness, are considered. The 2009 recipient of the award is Jeffrey E. Barnett. Included here are a citation, biography, and selected bibliography of Barnett's works, along with his paper, entitled "The complete practitioner: Still a work in progress," a version of which was presented at the American Psychological Association's annual convention.

全球地方化的论述与实践——从台北社区规划师制度谈起

全球化的影响力无远弗届,战后台湾的发展作为被支配的依赖关系的一种典型,移植与认同一直是整个台湾社会的重要课题，对主流文化价值的亦步亦趋,反应在建筑形式的探索上,从现代到后现代乃至解构与极简，本质上仍然只是形式上的移植与转化,反映了殖民母国的文化支配，而另一个系统,来自台湾内在主体意识的觉醒,对于地方主体性的建构,在后现代建筑理论的脉络中,通过建筑实践慢慢形成,而这也是面对这一波全球化冲击的有力回应，这样的取向不只是反映在建筑形式之上,更有意义的是在制度的改变与营建的过程中,积极而直接透过民众参与的民主化程序，以具体的“地方化”面对日益艰难的环境议题。

计算机软件过程控制的实施

软件过程控制模型,如CMM(后更名为SW-CMM)模型是一种软件过程能力评估标准,现已得到了众多国家软件产业界的认可,成为从事规模软件生产的有效性依据之一.企业的软件能力取决于该企业的过程能力,特别是在软件开发和生产中的成熟度.在CMM2模型中,将这种能力归结为可重复级别.CMM2级模型是使软件企业从开发过程的杂乱无章走向受控制管理的基础.近年来,我国的软件事业飞速发展,大量的软件企业纷纷建立.但是,在软件过程控制方面也存在一些问题,有相当一部分企业也认识到了软件过程规范管理的重要性,开始实施CMM2级管控.但是,有相当多的企业一直徘徊不前,其原因是对CMM2级理解不够透彻,本文针对CMM2级中的关键过程域和实施中的技术问题进行分析,希望为此提供一些有用的参考.
