Sustainability in the Future of Design Education

The Future of Design Education working group on sustainability developed recommendations for integrating sustainability into higher education design curricula. The recommendations provide a foundation for design instruction, using well-established evidence-based tools, methods, and mindsets that apply to professional practice and support...

Global fine-scale changes in ambient NO₂ during COVID-19 lockdowns

Nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) is an important contributor to air pollution and can adversely affect human health^1–9. A decrease in NO₂ concentrations has been reported as a result of lockdown measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19^10–20. Questions remain, however, regarding the relationship of satellite...

Novel Acoustic Method Provides First Detailed Measurements of Sediment Concentration Structure Within Submarine Turbidity Currents

Turbidity currents transport prodigious volumes of sediment to the deep sea. But there are very few direct measurements from oceanic turbidity currents, ensuring they are poorly understood. Recent studies have used acoustic Doppler current profilers (ADCPs) to measure velocity profiles of turbidity currents. However, there were no detailed...

Search for exotic spin-dependent couplings of the neutron with matter using spin-echo based neutron interferometry

Various theories beyond the Standard Model predict new particles with masses in the sub-eV range with very weak couplings to ordinary matter which can possess spin-dependent couplings to electrons and nucleons. We report null results of a search for possible exotic spin-dependent couplings of the neutron which could be induced by the exchange...

Gendl™ meets X3DOM: The Declarative Web, all the Way Down

Authoring and maintaining 3D content for the Web typically requires working in disjoint environments: one for creating static or dynamic HTML-based website content, and a different one for making 3D content. For website and web application development, language-based frameworks are typically used. For development of 3D content, a visual CAD...

Interoperable domain models: The ISO land administration domain model LADM and its external classes

This paper provides a brief overview of one of the first spatial domain standards: a standard for the domain of Land Administration (LA). This standard is in the draft stage of development now (May 2011). The development of domain standards is a logical follow up after domain-independent standards, which are available now in the area of geo...

Development of a Methodology to Support Design of Complex Aircraft Wings

The design of complex systems in today’s aerospace domain requires a balance between the ever-increasing complexity of the supporting technology and the drive to develop those systems in a compressed timeframe. The performance knowledge of a preliminary design must shift backwards in the lifecycle in order to exploit that knowledge when there is...

Shaping decisions and processes for more sustainable urban environments

To know whether eco-cities or, indeed, any so-called sustainable urban environment, will be successful, an understanding is needed about how such places 'come into being'. Understanding how decisions have been made, who makes them and when and how they are made is crucial to ensuring that the 'right' people have been involved at 'right' time. In...

The videolaryngoscope is less traumatic than the classic laryngoscope for a difficult airway in an obese patient

This report describes the anesthetic management of an obese patient with a difficult airway and the merits of videolaryngoscopy, specifically in terms of the reduced risk of dental damage during intubation. A 49-year-old woman (body mass index; BMI, 36 kg·m?2), was scheduled to undergo an elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy because of...
