Grease to the wheel or a spanner in the works? An investigation of office and industrial occupier displacement and property market filtering in Tyne & Wear using the chaining technique
The research uses a chaining technique to study the scale and impact of the displacement of office and industrial occupiers in the Tyne and Wear conurbation. The status and origin of occupiers of 20 office and industrial developments, promoted or assisted by the public sector, have been recorded to determine the distance that they have moved and the number of net new jobs generated. Property chaining reveals the extent to which the filtering effect has resulted in reoccupation of buildings and permits the quantification of the amount of property remaining vacant and its location. Analysis of the recorded chains has revealed that more than half of all occupiers on assisted schemes have relocated within the Tyne and Wear area and one in three occupier chains generated by such relocations result in vacant property elsewhere within the metropolitan area. The displacement of employment and economic activity within the conurbation can be mapped and could be used to inform the action of public agencies to reduce or ameliorate the negative side-effects of their intervention. The chaining technique proves an elegantly simple and robust technique by which to determine the scale and distribution of occupier displacement in property markets

Proof-mass actuator placement strategies for regulation of flexure during the SCOLE slew
An analysis was performed in order to find the best placement for proof-mass actuators and to determine the importance of placement, i.e., what is the sensitivity of beam flexure to actuator placement. The analysis was performed by using the NASTRAN finite element model for a flexible beam with 21 grid points on beam, by using the nonlinear DISCOS simulation of 20 deg slew and the use of a closed-loop linear quadratic regulator (lqr). Some conclusions reached are: (1) proof-mass actuators can reduce flexure amplitude and damp oscillations; (2) amplitude of deformations during slew is relatively insensitive to placement of actuators; (3) damping factor of oscillations is sensitive to actuator placement; and (4) the degree of controllability method indicates most effective placement for actuators

Faces on Mars Lesson: Incorporating Art, Thinking Skills, and Disability Differentiation Strategies for Twice-Exceptional Gifted Students
This practical article provides an example art-integrated lesson designed to serve gifted students with the exceptionalities of deficits in executive functioning and in impulse control. The lesson used the mysterious science problem of possible life on Mars as evidenced by anomalous faces in NASA photographs as a stimulus for practice in processing information through three Edward de Bono CoRT Thinking Skills. This lesson demonstrated differentiating instruction for gifted students with disabilities that included hands-on and peer-involved exercises. Examples of student work showing comic book-like stories about the famous Face on Mars are included, along with student responses to the thinking skill activities
ICPR2017 – The Fourth International Conference on Practice Research: overview
This paper reports issues arising from the Fourth International Conference on Practice Research, held in Hong Kong in May 2017. The issues were identified by specially convened group of conference participants, and include the need to develop a better language to describe practice research in terms that make sense to practitioners, improved support for practitioners to conduct research, recognising the different drivers for practice research in different countries, and enhancing practitioners' coordinating and leadership roles
