2008-10-04 05:40:00 The eleventh Architecture biennial in Venice hosts a huge amount of Superuse entries this year. The theme set out by Aaron Betsky this year is 'Beyond Building' which inspired many contributors to a conscious but humoristic approach on materials. The full program of the 11th biennal can be found at www.labiennale.org/en/architect-ure/ The entry called "Sorry for Taking Your Mirrors" by Aether Architecture talks about new ways of creating spaces which are 'high-tech' and 'low-tech' at the same time: they are interactive, responsive, can physically change to accommodate various functions over time, but are built form reused everyday objects, which are readily available around the world. We are interested in architectural research into technological spaces that are low cost, enabling and welcoming. » <a href='http://www.aether.hu/sorr-y-for-taking-your-mirrors'>o-riginal news</a>

Creating a Productive, Innovative, Adaptive Corporate Culture
2008-05-14 12:31:00 From 37SignalsFrom time to time during conference Q&A sessions I'm asked "How did you create the culture at 37signals?" or "What do you recommend we do to set up an open, sharing company culture like yours?" My answer: You don't create a culture. Culture happens. It's the by-product of consistent behavior. If you encourage people to share, and you give them the freedom to share, then sharing will be built into your culture. If you reward trust then trust will be built into your culture. Artificial Artificial cultures are instant. They're big bangs made of mission statements, declarations, and rules. They are obvious, ugly, and plastic. Artificial culture is paint. Real Real cultures are built over time. They're the result of action, reaction, and truth. They are nuanced, beautiful, and authentic. Real culture is patina. Don't think about how to create a culture, just do the right things for you, your customers, and your team and it'll happen.So get real... y...
Adaptive Unconscious Rapid Cognition
2008-04-29 11:03:00 We can define the adaptive unconscious as "mental processes that are inaccessible to consciousness but that influence judgments, feelings, or behaviors." Our senses at any one time are taking in 11,000,000 pieces of information: this is the number of receptor cells in each sense organ and the nerves that go to the brain. Our eyes receive 10,000,000 signals a second. We can consciously process only about 40 pieces of information per second, which suggests something is processing the rest of the data.The speed of change and need for adaptation and rapid decision making today is forcing us to use the repressed powers of rapid cognition. Traditionally our lifelong learning has been influenced by our primary carers and educators and the cultures in which we live, to a large degree the methods used and our beliefs have been handed down over centuries.Today Mentoring and Coaching has moved to a new level, managers, leaders and executive coaching now needs to adapt to a more complex and fas...

How do you discover new unmet needs/behaviors and imagine new uses that consumers don't yet display?The mental model is not about changing consumer behavior so much as supporting it better, and supporting it in new ways that haven't been thought of before. The easiest thing to do is look for gaps between a tower in the mental model (representing a set of behaviors around a particular concept) and the ways an organization supports it. There could be no existing support for a tower, or it could be weakly supported, in which case you could use the concepts in the tower to brainstorm ideas. You could already support a tower, but perhaps extend your support to better support some of ...

Shutdown a Sybase Adaptive and Backup Server
2007-12-28 16:08:00 Lately, I have seen a number of searches related to terminating an Sybase Adaptive server process. I wrote a post for starting a Sybase DBMS in July but not vice versa.Typically, the DBMS is started and terminated by using common startup and kill scripts. But SysAdmins can also gracefully shut down both the dataserver and backup servers via the command line. Here is a run.# isql ?Usa ?Ppassword1> shutdown SYB_BACKUP2> go1> shutdown2> goIf you can not shutdown the dataserver by the aforementioned methods, you might have to employ brute force: the kill -9 command. But note, this should only be performed in an emergency.# ps ?ef | grep backupserver# kill -9 PID# ps ?ef | grep dataserver# kill -9 PID

From Vicious Cycle to Adaptive Spiral
2007-10-04 06:28:00 Written by Jeffrey Chernin, Ph.D., LMFT Click here to contact Jeffrey and/or see his GoodTherapy.org Profile When you’re in a vicious cycle, you do something which causes you to feel bad. Feeling bad can lead to poor self-care, which can lead to wanting to get away from the bad feelings that result, which can cause you to do things that make you feel worse, and so on. This cycle lead to an ongoing chain of unhealthy choices and behaviors. How do you overcome this type of ingrained pattern? The Adaptive Spiral, an idea which developed organically through my practice, is a new way for you to think about growth, especially in regard to overcoming a vicious cycle. The chain starts when certain “coping strategies†(actions and perceptions) that got you through the minefields of childhood are left unchecked. These strategies go from being adaptive in childhood to maladaptive as an adult, often locking you into unsatisfying relationships and frustrating patterns. Let’s turn to elem...
Adaptive Light Technology
2007-09-10 22:15:00 BMW is about to introduce an intelligent system in light technology - Adaptive Light. It allows the driver to literally light up the bends ahead. The variable headlight control, anticipates in advance which direction the driver is going to take and swings the movable headlights in the right direction. [image source: www.autoslexikon.hu]But how does the car know when to illuminate where? The car uses a system of sensors and computers which use the car's steering angle, road speed and lateral acceleration to recognize direction variations. Adaptive Light control even uses data from the satellite navigation system to optimize the illumination of the road. [image source: www.bmw.ly]This is a useful innovation in car technology that should become standard in the course of the next years - hopefully.

2007-05-25 02:41:00 Vero. La creatività è sinonimo di empowering of messaging. Ma ci vuole anche intelligenza e buon gusto. Molte aziende, che magari hanno anche realizzato ottimi prodotti pubblicitari, si stanno orientando verso messaggi che cercano in qualche modo di prender forma basandosi sul successo/insuccesso delle aziende correlate di settore o meno e/o competitors di settore.Ultimamente il cattivo gusto e il non-sense impera nella giungla dell'attrattività.Ad esempio: la pubblicità della new Clio (tra l'altro mia attuale macchina.... quindi mi dispiace ancora di più dato che la adoro :-p ) già in circolazione in più e più Paesi e che sicuramente qualche lettore avrà già potuto ammirare... cosa vuol dire?Mi spiego meglio... la pubblicità vuol dare risalto alla "motività" della macchina puntando sulle prestazioni in velocità... ma lo fa rallentando il mondo circostante e facendo apparire la Clio veloce a confronto... ma è una giusta tattica?

Topical vaccination: the skin as a unique portal to adaptive immune respons
2007-03-08 12:47:02 Abstract??Skin is an ideal tissue for vaccine administration, as it is comprised of immunocompetent cells such as keratinocytes and Langerhans cells and elicits both innate and adaptive immune responses. In this paper, we summarize the immune responses induced by topical vaccination of the skin and review the effects of adjuvants on skin vaccination. We also summarize the existing techniques for skin vaccination. New techniques such as the use of lasers to enhance skin permeability are also discussed, as well as the role of the stratum corneum in skin vaccination. A recent study demonstrating enhanced skin vaccination by using surfactants to extract partial lamellar lipids of the stratum corneum will also be introduced in this review.

WAM-V Wave Adaptive Modular Vessel
2007-01-25 12:02:01 The WAM-V? -Wave Adaptive Modular Vessel- is a new class of watercraft based on a patented technology that delivers a radically new seagoing experience. These ultralight flexible catamarans are modularly designed to allow for a variety of applications and to fit the requirements of specific users, missions or projects. See more info and images after jump.. Wave Adaptive Unlike conventional boats, the hulls of a WAM-V? conform to the surface of the water. A WAM-V does not push, slap or pierce the waves. She utilizes flexibility to adapt her structure and shape to the water surface. Instead of forcing the water to conform to the hull, she gives and adjusts; she ?dances? with the waves. A superstructure is flexibly connected to specially designed pontoons by several components that actually move in relation to one another. A WAM-V? has springs, shock absorbers and ball joint to articulate the vessel and mitigate stresses to structure, payload and crew. Two engine pods, containing th...

An Error In Associating Lamarck With 'Adaptive Mutations'?
2006-12-02 15:54:10 [This post also appears here in the Main Blog]Words frozen in time should be differentiated from those carved in stone: In 1640 Galileo Galilei wrote a letter to Fortunio Liceti in which he said: "If Aristotle were to see the new discoveries recently [made] in the heavens, whose immobility he had asserted, because no alteration had previously been seen in them, he would now without doubt state the contrary." ['Galileo Galilei - Towards a Resolution of 350 Years of Debate', Paul Cardinal Poupard]. The above statement highlights the danger of placing dependence on words frozen in time without taking into account how different those words might be if their author had had access to the discoveries that have since been made. Lamarck, for example, published his "Zoological Philosophy" in 1809 and is today popularly associated with "the inheritance of acquired characteristics" whereby organisms somehow direct their own evolution. On the basis of Galileo's words, however, it could...
