Playing to Draw [for Design]

There is a disconnect for a number of applied design students who utilise drawing from online, published and photographic sources, in the development of design collections. In practice they are engaged with a subject that physically demands the direct use of hands in the making of artefacts, particularly within textile fields. Drawing is at the core of the development of ideas but it is often seen as being different or awkward and can cause anxiety amongst students who may be more focused on the end [designed] result. This article reflects upon the teaching of a drawing class with year two undergraduates on a textiles degree course at a UK university. Rather than relying on that which is readily available (from museums, online content, galleries, archives or trend forecasting sites), students make their own 2D and 3D primary sources from which they develop drawn proposals for textile and surface samples. Does this approach allow fresh visuals, new languages and translations for design to emerge? Will it provide a further level of engagement for those students who already love drawing as well as those who don't (yet)? Data has been drawn from key texts, questionnaires, journals and observations of the work carried out by participating students.

走出嵇康乐论研究的误区——也谈嵇康"声无哀乐"的思想意蕴

嵇康虽然主张"声无哀乐",但并没有割断与情感的联系,并且正是以这一联系为基础,他才对儒家的乐教思想作了重新定位。礼乐相须是儒家教化的基本理念之一,而嵇康的"越名教而任自然"从根本上讲也就是对儒家礼教观念的反对,因此对嵇康乐论的研究最好能引入时人以及嵇康对礼的态度作综合分析。只有将它放在魏晋玄学的背景下,把它与时人特别是嵇康对礼的态度综合起来研究,才有可能真正把握它的玄学意蕴。     

名教出于自然——王弼哲学话题刍议

王弼一方面对着经学家讲,改变权威主义话语方式;另一方面接着王充讲,拓展自然主义话语方式。他开辟名教与自然关系、有无关系、言意关系等新的话题,奠定了玄学的理论基础。他认为名教出于自然,无或自然为万有的本体,主张用＂得意忘象＂的方式把握本体。     

Optimization of Selecting Air Conditioning Cold/Heat Sources with Grey Relation Analysis

Selection of air conditioning (AC) cold/heat sources generally concerns about certain aspects and cannot reveal the whole profile of the problems. Grey relation analysis (GRA) is a data processing method to categorize the correlation extent of compared sequences and a certain reference sequence in a system with uncertain information. It is applied to evaluating and selecting AC cold/heat sources from four main aspects, which are technology, economy, reliability, and operation and management. Case study shows that the result for selecting AC cold/heat sources with the GRA method can be more reasonable and convincible. Thus it offers a new approach for designers in heating, ventilating and air conditioning field to compare and evaluate different AC cold/heat sources.     

Influence of medium components on elastase production using crude sources by Bacillus sp. EL31410

A newly isolated strain EL31410, producing elastase (E.C3.4.4.7) with high elastolytic activity was identified as Bacillus sp. In the medium optimization, it was found that wheat bran and soybean flour hydrosate were the best crude carbon and nitrogen source for enzyme production, respectively. Addition of corn steep flour can affect the bacterium growth and elastase production. A fractional factorial design was applied to study the main factors that affect the enzyme production, and central composite experimental design and response surface methodology were adopted to derive a statistical model for the effect of wheat bran and soybean flour hydrosate on elastase production. The experimental results showed that wheat bran had positive effect but soybean flour hydrosate had negative effect, on enzyme production. An initial concentration of 3.4%(w/v) wheat bran and 9.4%(v/v) soybean flour hydrosate were found to be optimal for enzyme production in batch culture. The time course of elastase production in the optimized medium composition was also described.
