Latitudinal variation in plankton size spectra in the Atlantic Ocean
No full textThe size distribution of the pelagic community has the potential to compare ecosystems with different species composition as well as to identify the main functional properties of the system. Plankton size spectra are an effective approach of summarising the size structure of the community and have the potential to indicate the transfer of energy up the trophic food web. However, data on which open ocean plankton biomass-size structure can be constructed are scarce. Here we present the latitudinal distribution in the Atlantic Ocean of normalised biomass-size spectra (NB-S), plankton biomass and abundance, as well as mean zooplankton size between 70°N and 50°S. Samples were collected from three Atlantic Meridional Transect (AMT) cruises during May/June 2003, September/October 2003 and April/June 2004, as well as from a Marine Productivity (MarProd) cruise farther north in the Irminger Sea during spring 2002. The biomass-size distribution covered a body size range from nano- to mesoplankton and was based on a depth range of 50–0 m on the AMT and 120–0 m on the Irminger Sea cruise. The distribution of normalised biomass versus size was linear on a double log plot at all of the 95 stations. The slopes of the NB-S spectra ranged from ?0.93 to ?1.26 and ?1.12 to ?1.46 on the AMT and Irminger Sea cruises, respectively. A “dome-shaped” pattern in the slopes of community size spectra was observed in the Atlantic, indicating a decrease in the trophic transfer efficiency of energy with increasing latitude and phytoplankton biomass. Mesozooplankton biomass, abundance, and mean size followed a distribution similar to ecosystem productivity
Diversity interventions for a socially sustainable construction industry
No full textMajor construction sites in Australia have an above average presence of ethnic minorities. These groups and the interfaces between them require effective management in order to meet the social imperatives of sustainable design and construction. A survey of 1155 workers and 204 managers on Sydney construction sites respectively, found a significant level of normalisation of negative forms of cross cultural interaction. Yet it was also found that anti-racism programs are not currently a management priority and that they generally lack sophisticated community relations aspects. This paper presents the results of a desk-top study of leading global companies within and outside the construction sector which have won international awards and recognition for their cultural diversity strategies. A key insight is that the companies profiled see diversity as a key resource and as an opportunity rather than a risk which is best harnessed through long-term and on-going commitment of senior management. These leading companies also recognise that cultural diversity strategies operate at three levels - in terms of its relationship with its own workforce; its relationship with its clients and; its relationships with the communities in which it operates - and if properly managed it can be a source of competitive advantage

Op verschillende niveaus wordt in alle bedrijfstakken, dus ook in de bouw, de toenemende concurrentie ervaren en dus de urgentie gevoeld om sneller in te spelen op versterking van de vraagkant van de markt. De verschuiving van een meer productgerichte naar een procesgerichte invalshoek van het bouwen, leidt tot de opgave om de verschillende procesfasen en de daarin opererende partijen beter op elkaar af te stemmen. Kennis van bouw- en uitvoeringstechnologie, onderhoud en beheer moet in een zo vroeg mogelijke fase een rol spelen in de ontwikkeling van een project. Het besef dat er beter samengewerkt moet worden, wordt "bouwbreed" gedeeld. Dit vereist echter een substantiële verbetering van het ontwerp- en bouwproces en daarvoor is specifieke kennis, kennisbeheer en toegankelijkheid van die kennis nodig. Deze publicatie wil een bijdrage leveren aan de vernieuwing en verbetering van het bouwproces door de aandacht te richten op een voor Nederlandse begrippen vrij nieuwe vorm van samenwerking: de projectalliantie.Real Estate & HousingArchitecture and The Built Environmen

New business model of flexible housing
No full textThe Open Building (OB) and the concept of flexible housing has alwaysassociated with user’s ability to respond to changing demand. It is necessary that housing can adap to changing market conditions and different users’ requirements. Flexibility makes a crucial concept that one cannot ignore. However, extra investments for future flexibility are still hardly made because the early investments affect different parties that are not involved in the future adaptation thus made it unaffordable to the mass. Also, the final life-cycle costs incurred in considering alternative solutions are more important than simply investing extra money in providing for flexibility (R.P. Geraedts). Our societyandeconomy are always changing. Nonetheless, the way we produce, the linear system that contains make-take-ispose consumption, had not changed since the started off an industrial revolution a long time ago. Thus, resulted in scarcity, depletion and waste of resources, environmental pollution, and climate change. Innovative leasing using circular economy(CE) is a recent way of looking at sustainability. The basis of CE is thinking in circular supply chains, maximizing the value of materials in which products are reused, remanufactured and recycled (MacArthur, 2013). The authors have illustrated several methods for integrating flexible housing with circular economy concept resulting in a conceptual framework of a new business model of flexible housing. Results of this study contribute to an alternative affordable, flexible housing in the market.Management in the Built EnvironmentArchitecture and The Built Environmen

Selecting Robots to Take Over Tasks in Hospitality Settings: Joining Two Research Fields
No full textRobotic assistance for work processes in the hospitality industry is receiving increased attention both in the hospitality industry and in academic research. Unfortunately, academic literature about hospitality robotics is currently disjointed, making it hard for hospitality professionals to decide which processes to target, and which available robotic systems would result in benefits (or limitations) for the organisation, employees or guests. Similarly, it is hard to understand what robotic functionalities need to be developed for particular processes, or what future functionalities to expect from ongoing developments in the robotics field. Researching hospitality robotics requires expertise in both fields. With this chapter, we try to give an insight in the things that should be considered when designing and evaluating the effectiveness of robots in a hospitality work environment. We do this by illustrating how robots can influence many interactions in a work environment and we present a conceptual framework for mapping these different interactions.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository 'You share, we take care!' - Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Human-Robot Interactio
