Abstract:
Most transportation engineers around the world, and now in the United States, are relatively familiar with roundabouts and their operational and safety benefits. Although roundabouts are becoming increasingly common, drivers and even engineering professionals often contend with mixed messages about roundabout design and operation. In a world speckled with all manner of spiral roundabouts, signalized roundabouts, traffic circles, gyratories, and rotaries, is it any wonder that confusion, and public resistance, often persists? These mixed messages may represent the greatest hurdle to implementation, public acceptance, and safe operation of multi-lane roundabouts in particular. Within North America and across the globe, circular intersection designs that appear relatively similar to users can in fact require significantly different driver behaviors, depending on whether they are configured with a continuous circle road or a network of crossing roadways. This distinction can be of critical importance for roadway designers and agencies, elected officials and other policymakers, road user education and licensing, traffic enforcement, mapping and GPS navigation, and safe operation of autonomous vehicles. This paper aims to provide an overview of existing definitions, explore the nature of conflict points for each design, provide a framework modeling method for analysis, and provide globally applicable definitions for roundabout features for use in design, education, policy, enforcement, and research. This paper is focused primarily on roundabout design guidance and operations within the United States, but places these practices within the global context, such that the definitions and analyses provided can be applied to all forms of roundabout intersections around the world.

Abstract:
Engineering textbooks are specialized in nature, containing technical terminology which can be challenging to learners. For better comprehension of engineering concepts, there is a need for bridging the language gap by focusing on the frequently used and important engineering vocabulary. Most English Language Teaching (ELT) teachers do not necessary possess the specialist language in the field of engineering which can be rather confusing to them. It has been reported that Malaysian engineering textbooks (syllabus) were not written based on any word lists or corpora. Hence, learners require the language needed in the field of engineering – English for Engineering Purposes (EEP). To meet this requirement, specialised engineering textbooks were studied to specify the meaningful lexical components which can facilitate learners to assimilate into their discourse community. In the field of civil engineering, there is no exception that learners too need to understand the composition of words found in their textbooks. This study shows the exact word lists and suggests what learners and teachers can do to learn the “language of civil engineering”.

Abstract:
Data-driven learning (DDL), an inductive teaching approach in which students learn through corpus interaction, has gained recent traction as way to teach specialized vocabulary in English for Specific Purposes (ESP) classes. There is little research, however, that addresses how to choose specialized vocabulary for teaching with DDL. This study addressed this gap in research by exploring the potential of a three-part analytical, corpus-based system for determining vocabulary to teach with DDL for a specific context of language use. This system included (1) identifying words that were significantly more frequent in a specialized expert corpus than in a corpus of general English, (2) narrowing to words that showed patterned differences in use between the specialized corpus and a student corpus, and (3) narrowing further to words with salient enough patterns of usage to teach with DDL. This three-part system was applied to the context of civil engineering in order to find vocabulary words to teach civil engineering students with low-proficiency writing skills at Portland State University. For the first step in my analytical system, I found 201 words that occurred significantly more frequently in civil engineering practitioner writing than in the Corpus of Contemporary American English and that met requirements for frequency, distribution, and other criteria. I tested the second and third steps on 45 of these words and identified 14 words that showed evidence of needing to be taught and being well suited to DDL. After reflecting on my process, I found that the analytical system was successful in meeting my goals for finding civil engineering vocabulary for data-driven activities. I also made several observations that may be useful for ESP teachers who are interested in applying this methodology for their classes, the most notable of which were: 1. The system was especially useful for connecting words that are not explicitly civil engineering themed (e.g., encountered or using) to important writing functions that civil engineers perform. 2. Although it provided a systematic basis for vocabulary teaching decisions, the process was generally time-consuming and required complex judgments, which indicated that it may only be worth performing if teachers plan to regularly incorporate DDL vocabulary instruction into their course.

Abstract:
A construction project can be compared to a triathlon where the building process takes place in three stages and participants try to finish three sub processes as fast as possible to reach the goal. After the first stage is finished, the next begins to eventually jointly meet the milestones that are set on the road. There are many different players in a building process where everyone can have completely different tasks and work in completely different locations around the world. This require that the information between the different parties must be correct and shared to avoid delays and unnecessary costs. Identifying, defining and structuring of information in the 3D-model reflects an organized approach where all information is available in the same location. The development in the construction industry has given the opportunity to let the information supply to be almost unlimited. BIM stands for Building Information Modeling, in design/construction models there is room for the construction industry to improve the efficiency and quality at much higher altitudes. Two systems that have grown during the BIM development is the BIP (Building Information Properties) and BSAB 2.0 (Bygg Samordning AB 2.0) which is designation and classification system in Sweden that aims to become the solution for a joint system for all construction companies. This would lead to that, information delivery becomes waterproof.  This report is a study of how a common system can be applied to the accounting of the various construction companies to be similar and flawless. The lineup of solutions in the examination are solutions for the modeling software Tekla Structures. There is also an investigation of how the mapping of a complete system that allows the different parties in the construction process to use the same terms throughout the different sub processes.

Abstract:
<p><b>Bentonites</b> are rocks mostly consisting of swelling clay minerals. They were first described from the Cretaceous Benton Shale near Rock River, Wyoming, USA. </p> <p> Because of their useful properties (e.g. highly adsorbent, cation exchanging, swelling), bentonites have many uses, in industry (among them as drilling mud, purification agent, binder, adsorbent, paper production), culture (for e.g. pottery) and medicine/cosmetics/cat litter, civil engineering, and in the future even in the disposal of high-level nuclear waste. </p> <p> Particular chemical characteristics of bentonite clay minerals are rather variable but critically determine their suitability for a particular application. </p> <p> The 15 specialist authors discuss bentonite terminology, classification and genesis and use in eight chapters. Individual chapters deal with the methods bentonites are analysed with, their properties and performance in terms of parameters such as cation exchange capactiy, rheology, coagulation concentraion, water uptake capacity, free swelling, and electrical resistivity (amongst others). </p> <p> A chapter is dedicated to the sources of bentonites, the technology employed to produce them, and how quality control is carried out both in the mine and the laboratory. A further chapter is dedicated to methods of processing the mined material, different activation methods, drying, grinding, and purification. </p> <P> Use cases for bentonites are discussed in a chapter of its own. References, a section on norms and standards, and a list of abbreviations complete the text. </p> <p> The volume addresses students, researchers, and professionals in the mineral industry dealing with bentonite and their clay-mineral constituents, quality assessement and control, and persons that use bentonites in their products. </p>

Abstract:
As the nineteenth century was the age of iron and the twentieth belonged to silicon, the present century will be identified with carbon. CO2 is the iconic greenhouse gas, imprinted on our vocabulary with talk of carbon footprints and allowances and offsets. For synthetic biologists, however, the carbon debacle has counterintuitively positioned this debased element as our savior. The future they foresee will supplant grimy factories of concrete and steel with clean colonies of living cells. To use the terminology of Freeman Dyson, gray technology will be replaced by green. Among the most celebrated physicists of the twentieth century, Dyson has become one of the foremost promoters of synthetic biology, a field that technologically is to genetic engineering what genetic engineering is to crop cultivation. Conceptually the distinction is even more radical than that: whereas genetic engineering merely modifies preexisting creatures more precisely than selective breeding, synthetic biology aims to fabricate entirely new organisms from nonliving materials. Unconstrained by genetic history, these artificial life forms can be intelligently designed to produce fuels or pharmaceuticals with unprecedented efficiency. The sheer audacity of synthetic biology lends itself to hyperbole, aptly captured in a 2007 Nature editorial: “For the first time, God has competition.” Yet the language of synthetic biology, also known as bioengineering, hardly bespeaks a cosmic paradigm shift. DNA constructed at a so-called gene foundry gives specialized function to a generic cell referred to as a chassis. A Victorian industrialist would have no trouble following the metaphoric language. He might even find work as a bioengineering consultant: the quaint iron age phrasing reflects the old-fashioned framework underlying this brave new discipline. After all, radical as artificial life may be philosophically—and significant as it may be environmentally—it’s technically just a strenuous construction project, with manufacturing challenges akin to building a bridge or a steam engine. That may explain why one of the most successful synthetic biologists working today, the Stanford University professor Drew Endy, trained as a civil engineer. Together with colleagues at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Endy has methodically approached synthetic biology as a problem of developing reliable building blocks and assembly protocols.
