Topographies of the future: urban and suburban visions in Edward Bellamy’s utopian fiction

In Looking Backward (1888) and Equality (1897), Edward Bellamy offered two distinct but interrelated visions of a utopian future. The first and more famous book was set in a luxuriant, centralized metropolis. The sequel detailed decentralized, suburbanized infrastructures. Within the literature on Bellamy these emendations have been treated as evidence of regressive anti-urbanism. This paper argues instead that Bellamy used correlations between topography and technology to mediate an evolving approach to social reform. The discrepancies between the two texts did not represent abandonment of the city but rather an expansion of the scale and scope necessary to ensure social progress. While Looking Backward has often been invoked in relation the Garden City and City Beautiful movements, a new reading of Equality offers opportunities to rethink Bellamy’s relationship to planning history.     

Architectural Patents and Open-Source Architectures: The Globalisation of Spatial Design Innovations (or Learning from ‘E99’)

Patents are the strongest form of intellectual property rights available internationally, so far unbeaten by open source as a body of innovation and know-how. Mark Garcia , senior lecturer in the Department of Architecture & Landscape at the University of Greenwich, London, here considers the pros and cons of the patent system for architects in the digital age: from issues over patent categorisation by type, to possibilities of micro-royalties through the capacity of design software to track every stage of input from multiple contributors.     

UNIQUENESS OF DISPLACEMENT-HEAT FLUX AND STRESS-TEMPERATURE PROBLEMS IN THERMOELASTICITY WITH ONE RELAXATION TIME

Two uniqueness theorems of linear thermoelasticity with one relaxation time corresponding to natural initial boundary value problems described in terms of two different pairs of thermoelastic variables: displacement-heat flux and stress-temperature are proved.     

赖特与构成--建筑及装饰设计的"有机线条概念"

赖特的建筑作品中体现出来的设计原则与当时通常的原则相去甚远,他的建筑思想完全游离与19世纪浪漫主义风格中著名的"日本风格"以外.他的设计思想主要来源于厄内斯特·范诺罗莎(ErnestFenollosa)对日本艺术独特的诠释.事实证明,当范诺罗莎关于日本艺术的分析被阿瑟·道(Arthur Dow)转移到常规艺术教育系统中以后,这种对日本艺术全新的见解直接影响到了赖特的早期作品.范诺罗莎--道关于"合成线形思维"的艺术理论支持赖特以相似的方法完善自己的建筑原则.     

超声波-表面活性剂协同提取盾叶薯蓣总皂苷

考察了超声波频率、处理时间以及黄姜与乙醇的质量比对薯蓣皂苷提取的影响,同时也选择了适合乙醇提取的表面活性剂及其使用量,并采用电导法测定了临界胶团浓度,最终通过正交实验优化了工艺。结果表明,提取的最佳条件为:乙醇体积分数30%,超声波频率为25.8kHz,超声时间为40min,m(黄姜)∶m(乙醇)=1∶10,十二烷基硫酸钠(SDS)用量为17.408×10-3mol/L。该工艺能显著提高得率,且省时、节能、降低污染,在工业上推广有很大的可行性。     

Distinguished contributions to applied psychology as a professional practice: Rogers H. Wright.

Presents the citation, biography, and bibliography for Rogers H. Wright, the 1985 recipient of the American Psychological Association's Award for Distinguished Contributions to Applied Psychology as a Professional Practice. Known by many as the 'Father of Professional Psychology,' Dr. Wright has been in the forefront of the struggle for recognition by Professional Psychology. Possibly the most important and powerful contribution that Dr. Wright has made was in co-founding and being the first President of the Committee for the Advancement of Psychological Professions and Sciences (CAPPS), the group that introduced Psychology into public policy advocacy. It was this group that brought the American Psychological Association into the public policy arena and led to the establishment of AAP and the various policy groups within APA that now play such a major part in APA's program.

简单法则演绎的丰富世界——草原住宅宏观组构和结构中的几何逻辑

赖特的草原住宅是现代建筑中最经典的部分之一.人们一直津津乐道其自由飘逸的形式和流动的空间,却很少注意到它与上述特质对立的内涵,即那种贯穿赖特—生建构探索的”几何建构”[1]法则.作者通过对草原住宅的深入剖解,试图将其宏观组构和结构中的这种“万变不离其衷“的基因揭示和呈现出来.这些法则同时也天衣无缝地将形式、空间及建构细...

鲜黄姜生产工业皂素的成分分析与工艺改进

用色-质联用技术分析了以新鲜黄姜为原料生产的工业薯蓣皂素的组成物。实验证明,新鲜黄姜中存在油酸、十六酸等脂肪酸。在现有生产工艺条件下,这些脂肪酸伴随皂素一起进入了工业皂素中。经甲酯化后皂素产品中十六酸甲酯的相对含量为 8. 2%,油酸甲酯的相对含量为10. 5%。正是这些脂肪酸的存在,使得工业皂素产品的熔点偏低。建议以新鲜黄姜为原料生产工业薯蓣皂素的生产厂家改进生产工艺以保证工业薯蓣皂素产品的质量和企业自身的经济效益。
