This study aims to improve how environmental infrastructure is evaluated to achieve urban sustainability. To do this, it focuses on evaluation criteria from an ecological perspective. Given that urban areas are similar with ecosystems, the authors examine the characteristics of ecosystems in terms of survival, i.e., evolution, adaption, ecological network, maximum power principle, dispersal and ecological...
Real estate industry plays a significant role in Chinese economic growth and social progress with its rapid development in recent years. This paper introduces the background of real estate industry in China, reviews the history of its development and then analyzes the situation at present through the theories of market boundary and industrial value chain. Suggestions for the future development of...
University human resources loss has become one of the most important problems in education developing areas. According to human nature hypothesis, the reasons of university human resources loss are analyzed from the angle of economic man, social man, self-actualizing man and complex man, these conclusions propose theoretical basis for solving university human resources loss.
The first main objective of this study is to explore development mode based on the perspective of industrial chain. The industrial chains in the circular economy are compared with industrial chains in the traditional economy. And the differences between each other are analyzed and concluded, which is the most important peculiarities of the circular economy. Based on these conclusions, the ideology...
Our country is moving towards the modern society in the 21st century, which requires a higher standard. Physical education is not only the education of knowledge; furthermore, physical education should be more concerned about the full range of cultural functions. From the angle of physical beauty, this paper analyzes the connotation of the beauty of physics. It is argued that the guidance for students...
The consumption of food inside mouth involves various oral operations, such as first bite, chewing and mastication, transportation, bolus formation, swallowing, etc, which are essential procedures not only for the consumption and digestion of food, but also for the appreciation and pleasure of food texture and flavors. Despite continuous efforts made by scientists from food, psychology, physiology,...
This paper firstly gives a construction safety evaluation system based on previously researches. Secondly, it gives the concept of intuitionistic fuzzy sets concisely. Then, intuitionistic fuzzy TOPSIS method is introduced. Finally, a numerical example for safety evaluation is given to illustrate application of the method.
The paper talks about the value of archetype image of built environment base on the archetype image theory of Carl Gustav Jung. It points out that the archetype strategy is the approach of getting high level environmental qualities. And in virtue of Jung's archetype theory, human beings can set up contacts among modality, aesthetics and meaning, and set up contacts between location and user, further...
Based on the memory and moralization function of the memorial space, the article discusses the effects of the collective memory to preserve and reconstruct the history. The memorial space represents the moralization mode and its assimilation purpose with both gather and mix features. On this basis, the radiation-receiving-feedback mode of information transfer in memorial space is presented. Under...
Based on the viewpoint of architecture, this paper analyzes the differences of design goals and building forms between the green building and the health house. Giving an introduction to the technology system of domestic health house, it points out health house be an important model to realize sustainable human residence environment. Finally, some measures to design health house has been put forward...
This paper examines the Dali Bai nationality courtyard folk residence, based on the ecological system theory, modern product design theory and landscape architecture viewpoint. It explores how to put a modern environmental facility into the local regional culture after remolding through the analysis on environmental facility of Bai nationality courtyard folk house in order to adapt the modern ecological...
With the accelerating process of urbanization, the external environment designing has also been affected greatly by more and more physical conditions in country. Taking the post-disaster reconstruction project of DaPing village in Si Chuan province for example, with the purpose of optimizing the external environment, this paper conducts on the overall planning of DaPing village, researches on the...
This article integrates the Constructal Theory developed from Thermodynamics with the discussion of the means and methods of low-carbon architectural space form design in the new era. It introduces general principal of Constructal Theory and bring up an idea that the key of contemporary architectural design has transformed from the management of material system to the management of energy system....
Application of OpenGL functions for fast and flexible generation of material matrix for finite difference mesh is presented. Application of graphical functions makes tessellation of complex objects efficient and flexible. Additionally, since most of computations is performed using a specialized hardware, presented technique is very fast. Two examples of tessellation of complex structures, including...
Energy Harvesting is the process of extracting small amount of energy from ambient environment. Reduction in size and shape of the electronic components make the power requirements down to the scale of mW. Due to this fact, Energy harvesting techniques and their applications gain much more attraction. Many techniques are being developed to gain energy from various available sources viz. wind, vibration,...
R&D alliance plays important role to enhance enterprise innovation competence and reduce R&D cost, but because it faces complex operating environment, the failure rate has been always in high level. In fact, the risk of R&D alliance is directly influenced by alliance innovation resources input supply risk and compensation supply risk. When the shortage and delay of resources supply appears,...
Existing face liveness detection algorithms adopt behavioural challenge-response methods that require user cooperation. To be verified live, users are expected to obey some user unfriendly requirement. In this paper, we present a multispectral face liveness detection method, which is user cooperation free. Moreover, the system is adaptive to various user-system distances. Using the Lambertian model,...
Landing humans on Mars is perhaps the largest Entry, Descent and Landing challenge for this (or any) generation of NASA engineers. Essentially all current Mars EDL technology is based on development efforts in support of the Viking program in the 1960's and 1970's. Since that time, these key technologies have been tweaked and some additions have been added in order to extend the landed mass and altitude...
Since most robots are not easily displayable in real-life scenarios, only a few studies investigate users' behavior towards humanoids or androids in a natural environment. We present an observational field study and data on unscripted interactions between humans and the android robot “Geminoid HI-1”. First results show that almost half of the subjects mistook Geminoid HI-1 for a human. Even those...
This work in progress discusses a persistent myth about robots, namely that ‘future robots will be universal solutions’, or in other words that robots should tackle many complex tasks and situations. In our approach we consider whether this is a case of posing robots as solutions to wicked problems or if robots can be considered wicked design problems in themselves. At the same time we make an argument...
