Ornament and function

The architects and builders in the past lacked our knowledge concerning fluid dynamics, but they exhibited a deep rooted ability to observe and reflect - thus, different cultures have developed by trial and error. The authors have produced a stimulating analysis which couples the science of fluid dynamics and a sensitive understanding of past cultures. The paper is recommended reading.     

Health and Indoor Climate Complaints of 7043 office Workers in 61 Buildings in the Netherlands

During the winter of 1988/1989, the relationships between the prevalence of work-related health and indoor climate complaints and a number of building, management, workplace and personal characteristics have been investigated in a study in more than 60 office buildings located throughout the Netherlands. To collect the information, a questionnaire was prepared on health and indoor climate complaints and personal and workplace characteristics. A checklist was used to obtain information on building characteristics More than 7000 questionnaires were completed by the regular users of the buildings investigated. The results showed that the prevalence of symptoms was higher in air-conditioned buildings than in naturally or mechanically ventilated buildings. some other variables were also related with most work-related complaints after adjustment for selected management, personal, workplace and job characteristics. These included gender, work satisfaction in general, presence of allergies and/or respiratory symptoms, and personal control over temperature at the workplace. No differences were found in symptom prevalences between buildings with spray and steam humidification. The combination of air-conditioning and humidification did not lead to further increases in the prevalence of complaints as compared to buildings with only airconditioning or only humidification.     

Service life planning and performance requirements

Service life planning comprises a model for the determination of a reasonable expected service life for buildings and components, and it establishes a routine for the assessment of design alternatives. A design option is considered reasonable when it meets or exceeds performance requirements over time that have been drawn up specifically for the specific project. Due to this assessment reference, there is a very evident link to the concept of performance-based building. Any stakeholder involved in the value chain or in the design process of the building, as well as regulators and building users, can express performance requirements. Identified requirements, both in relevance and in quality, will vary with the stakeholder and his/her perspective of interest. As building sector manufacturers develop most products with reference to standards rather than with reference to specific requirements, there is no direct link from user requirements to the product design. Instead, the building designer has the responsibility to ensure performance requirements are met by the performance of products integrated into the design. As these design decisions also have to be made at the material and component level, a performance-based building would benefit from an established rationale that enables the communication of performance requirements across the relevant system levels in the relevant design processes. A path for the connection of the established concepts of service life planning and performance-based building is presented. The aim is to identify key elements that need to be developed for the successful linkage of performance-based building with service life planning.

Concurrent reading while writing revisited

A modification is proposed to Peterson's construction of 1-writern-reader multivalued atomic shared variableusingn+2 multivalued safe variables and some boolean atomic variables. The resulting construction is elegant and is simpler than the original one. K. Vidyasankar received B.E. (Elec. Engg.) from Thiagarajar College of Engineering, Madurai, M. Tech. from I.I.T. Kanpur, India, and Ph.D. in Computer Science from University of Waterloo, Canada. He is now an Associate Professor in Computer Science at Memorial University of Newfoundland, Canada. His research interests include concurrency control and recovery in database systems, concurrency in interprocess communication, design and analysis of algorithms, and graph theory.A prelininary version of this paper, under the title Improving Peterson's Construction of 1-Writern-Reader Multivalued Atomic Register, appears in the Proc. 26th Annual Allerton Conference on Communication, Control, and Computing, University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, September 1988, pp 693–700

以家园文化为基础探索构建幸福企业

马钢的生存发展与职工的生存发展息息相关、浑然一体。只有企业得到发展壮大,每一名员工才能得到更好的发展,也只有员工的积极参与和努力奋斗,才能有企业的日益强大。从现实而言,为应对钢铁"去产能"压力,增强国有企业活力,就必须贯彻落实党的十八大精神,落实供给侧改革措施,踏踏实实地加强和完善国有企业党的工作和群团工作,在工作中不断创新和改革。动员和带领全体员工,激发创新活力,就是要使"人民对美好生活的向往"的奋斗目标具体化,就是建设"美丽安徽"、"幸福社区"和"幸福企业"。立足岗位开展"奋力求生存、携手保家园"活动。     

市场机制下建筑节能相关利益主体博弈研究

充分发挥市场机制对节能产品的调控作用是市场经济的基本内容。通过对建筑节能市场发展中存在的相关问题研究,发现我国建筑节能市场的外部性和信息不对称性是产生问题的根源。全面分析建筑节能市场中政府、开发商、消费者以及其他服务组织等利益主体对市场培育的核心作用,通过构建政府与开发商、开发商与消费者之间的动态博弈模型,研究相关利益主体进一步完善建筑节能市场应采取的对策。
