Computational morphogenesis of free form shells: Filter methods to create alternative solutions

p. 536-547Actual trends in numerical shape optimal design of structures deal with handling of very large dimensions of design space. The goal is to allowing as much design freedom as possible while considerably reducing the modelling effort. As a consequence, several technical problems have to be solved to get procedures which are robust, easy to use and which can handle many design parameters efficiently. The paper briefly discusses several of the most important aspects in this context and presents many illustrative examples which show typical applications for the design of light weight shell and membrane structures.Bletzinger, K.; Firi, M.; Linhard, J.; Wüchner, R.

Interactive Newsprint: The Future of Newspapers? Printed electronics meets hyperlocal and community co-design

The news industry is currently in a well-documented state of flux, with publishers from across the developed world examining new business models, reinterpreting existing relationships between their income streams and readers, while maintaining their ability to generate editorial output that is relevant and interesting to the communities they cover. Interactive Newsprint seeks to add a new and revolutionary dimension to this media evolution by asking: can printed electronics and internet-enabled paper (technologies that utilise standard paper and printing processes and through conductive ink and battery power offer capacitive touch interactions similar to smartphones and tablets) create a new way of transmitting community-based news and information? Utilising co-design techniques and practices, the project seeks to produce community- relevant hyperlocal text and audio content and place it on a centuries-old platform: the newspaper. As a result of the paper's internet connectivity, the project is also examining potential benefits of transplanting some online features such as analytic data on user interactions. Led by the School of Journalism, Media and Communication (JoMeC) at the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan), the 18-month, EPRSC-funded project is therefore examining the potential for community co-design and printed electronics to transform paper- based news and information for the 21st Century, along with revenue and data generation that is unique to digital formats such as websites, social networks, smartphones and tablets. Building on work carried out on the EPSRC-funded Bespoke project, researchers from UCLan, University of Dundee, University of Surrey and commercial printed electronics firm Novalia are prototyping a series of paper-based community news platforms that are populated by content produced by community reporters and generated through an iterative co-design process. This paper will outline the methodology, technological potential of interactive newsprint and how the project is looking to embed analytic data into traditional printed-paper formats. It will also focus on how members of the Preston community are shaping both the news and platform over the 18-month process. As the project is mid-way through, the paper will present an overview of the project to date, outline the design methodology and describe and demonstrate the early-stage prototypes. The paper will also hint at new editorial construction practices as community and professional reporters all contribute to the hyperlocally-themed editorial output. The authors will present a discussion of the theoretical framework that underpins the project as a whole. In addition to the practical illustrations, the paper will outline the authors' initial thoughts on how interactive newsprint – through its internet connectivity and potential for data transfer – could revolutionise editorial and advertorial relationships

Guest Editorial: The 2014 Capstone Design Conference

The goal of the 2014 Capstone Design Conference held in Columbus, OH was to build upon the success of three previous conferences (2007 and 2010 in Boulder, CO, and 2012 in Champaign, IL) and expand the community of educators, students, and industry members engaged in discussing, analyzing, and improving capstone design education. Sessions at the 2014 Capstone Design Conference were designed for vibrant sharing of ideas and experiences across the capstone community via interactive panel sessions, poster session socials, and hands-on workshops. This editorial discusses conference planning, structure, and feedback. Technical papers that follow in this issue document scholarship surrounding noteworthy capstone course innovations. Most of these began as four page peer-reviewed papers included in the conference proceedings

Research on Scientific Journals: Implications for Editors and Authors

A review of editorial policies of leading journals and of research relevant to scientific journals revealed conflicts between 'science' and 'scientists.” Owing to these conflicts, papers are often weak on objectivity and replicability. Furthermore, papers often fall short on importance, competence, intelligibility, or efficiency. Suggestions were made for editorial policies such as: (1) structured guidelines for referees, (2) open peer review, (3) blind reviews, and (4) full disclosure of data and method. Of major importance, an author's “Note to Referees” (describing the hypotheses and design, but not the results) was suggested to improve the objectivity of the ratings of importance and competence. Also, recommendations are made to authors for improving contributions to science (such as the use of multiple hypotheses) and for promoting their careers (such as using complex methods and obtuse writing).scientific journals, authors, research, editors

STRATEGI PENERBIT DALAM MEMPRODUKSI BUKU PENDIDIKAN DAN TEORI MELALUI SELFPUBLISHING DI INARA PUBLISHER

Haliza, Salsabila Nur. 2024. Strategi Penerbit Dalam Memproduksi Buku Pendidikan Dan Teori Melalui Selfpublishimg Di Inara Publisher. Scriptpreneur. Program Studi Pendidikan Bahasa Indonesia, Fakultas Keguruan dan Ilmu Pendidikan, Universitas Muhammadiyah Malang. Pembimbing: (1) Arti Prihatini, M. Pd. Publisher's strategies in producing educational and theoretical books through self-publishing involve an approach that focuses on efficiency and flexibility. Publishers tend to leverage modern technology and online platforms to provide broader access to both authors and readers, as well as to enhance the production and distribution processes. Additionally, this strategy often entails close collaboration between editorial teams and authors to ensure the quality and relevance of the book content aligns with the evolving needs of the educational and theoretical market. This research aims to describe publisher strategies in producing educational and theoretical books in both pre-printing and post-printing processes through self-publishing at Inara Publisher. Research data comprises internship experiences and interviews. Utilizing the Resource-Based View (RBV) theoretical framework, considering two main aspects: Heterogeneous Resources (diversity of human resources) and Resources that are Hard to Imitate: (1) Research and Reference Networks, (2) Editorial and Professional Design Staff. The research findings indicate that pre-printing strategies include editing, layout, proofreading, and printing, while post-printing strategies encompass binding, lamination, packaging, quality inspection, and promotion. Internal constraints such as editorial knowledge deficiencies and distribution limitations, as well as external challenges like fierce competition and financial constraints, are addressed. Data for this research was collected through interviews and document analysis to gain an in-depth understanding of publisher strategies. These findings are expected to provide crucial insights for the publishing industry, particularly in overcoming internal and external challenges in producing and marketing educational and theoretical books through self-publishing at Inara Publisher
