Cross-Domain Middlewares Interoperability for Distributed Aircraft Design Optimization
The Bridge project is an EU FP6 project funded by the European Commission to support the EU-China joint effort on secure and distributed cooperation between European and Chinese industrial communities such as the distributed aircraft design optimization etc. The interoperability between SIMDAT GRIA and CNGrid GOS, which enables a joint grid platform between SIMDAT and CNGRID infrastructures, is fundamental to achieve this goal. This paper presents the interoperability solution adopted by the Bridge project, including job management, data sharing, and authentication & authorization. A prototype of distributed aircraft design optimization based on the interoperability between GRIA and GOS has been implemented, which can effectively aggregate and integrate different analysis services that are provided by different geographical distributed partners. The strategies adopted in implementing the prototype are discussed and preliminary results are presented

Precast Concrete Elements for Accelerated Bridge Construction Final Report, Volume 1-1. Laboratory Testing of Precast Substructure Components: Boone County Bridge: TR-561, January 2009
In July 2006, construction began on an accelerated bridge project in Boone County, Iowa that was composed of precast substructure elements and an innovative, precast deck panel system. The superstructure system consisted of full-depth deck panels that were
prestressed in the transverse direction, and after installation on the prestressed concrete girders, post-tensioned in the longitudinal direction. Prior to construction, laboratory tests were completed on the precast abutment and pier cap elements. The substructure testing was to determine the punching shear strength of the elements. Post-tensioning testing and verification of the precast deck system was performed in the field. The forces in the tendons provided by the contractor were verified and losses due to the post-tensioning operation were measured. The stress (strain) distribution in the deck panels due to the post-tensioning was also measured and analyzed. The entire construction process for this bridge system was documented. Representatives from the Boone County Engineers Office, the prime contractor, precast fabricator, and researchers from Iowa State University provided feedback and suggestions for improving the constructability of this design

Mike Ladd: Invisible mending
An Author event presented by The Friends of the University of Adelaide Library, recorded in the Ira Raymond Room, Barr Smith Library, 18 May 2017.Mike Ladd's new collection, Invisible Mending ranges across genres including essay, memoir, short story and poetry. Based loosely on the ideas of scarring and healing, Invisible Mending extends from family intimacies to connection and disconnection in the Australian community, environmental damage and repair. It also has an international view. Parts of it were written at an artist's residency in Malaysia and while travelling through South America
