Second-order cone programming formulations for a class of problems in structural optimization
No full textThis paper provides efficient and easy to
implement formulations for two problems in structural
optimization as second-order cone programming
(SOCP) problems based on the minimum compliance
method and derived using the principle of complementary
energy. In truss optimization both single and
multiple loads (where we optimize the worst-case compliance)
are considered. By using a heuristic which is
based on the SOCP duality we can consider a simple
ground structure and add only the members which
improve the compliance of the structure. It is also
shown that thickness optimization is a problem similar
to truss optimization. Examples are given to illustrate
the method developed in this pape
Chinese media
No full textFrom an area of specialist research a decade ago China’s media has become now an important element of research and teaching worldwide, not only in specific Chinese cultural studies courses at the university level but increasingly in post-graduate research and in the domain of business consultancy.\ud

Edited by Michael Keane and Wanning Sun, leading experts in the field, this new title is a ‘mini library’ of the foundational and the very best cutting-edge scholarship on Chinese medi
The QUT creative industries experience
No full textThis publication assembles essays by people\ud
who are leading voices and practitioners in the\ud
creative industries, writing from the perspectives\ud
of education, research and business development.\ud
The idea for the publication arose from a request\ud
in 2007 from key Chinese policy academics for\ud
information on what they called ‘The Queensland\ud
model’. Apart from a co-authored article published\ud
in Chinese in that year by three of the contributors\ud
to this publication, there was little assembled\ud
evidence of the model.\ud
The interest from China culminated in requests to\ud
visit and see the Queensland model first hand. Since\ud
2007, there have been many visitors to the Creative\ud
Industries Precinct and the Kelvin Grove Urban\ud
Village. The tours have generally taken people to\ud
different organisational units within the larger\ud
complex. This publication follows this approach but\ud
also shows how the various organisational units are\ud
integrated
A revolution in television and a great leap forward for innovation? China in the global television format business
No full textIn describing the state of play of television formats in China in this chapter I will therefore look at how formats have assumed an important development role. To illustrate the changing television environment in the context of formatting I use the concepts of mimetic isomorphism and R&D. These two ideas capture two sides of format activity in China today. Isomorphism refers to the tendency of producers to mimic and even clone without due consideration of market flooding while R&D describes how the format process contributes to 'know-how' and ideas, which are developed either internally within the organization or transferred from outside the system. As might be expected, the sheer scale and rapid expansion of China's format activity makes any pretence of comprehensive mapping futile. What I will endeavour to do in this chapter however is to present a snapshot of format activity through several genres that have been amenable to licensing or cloning. They include game shows, children's television, soap operas, and reality television
