This paper proposes a service-oriented framework and architecture for integrated sustainability knowledge management in construction. The proposed architecture is based on a survey conducted amongst industry professionals in Hong Kong SAR. The objective was to identify problem areas in infrastructure design and construction management practice as they currently militate against sustainability a...

The growth of a robust body of research examining emotions and decision-making (Lerner, Li, Valdesolo, & Kassim, 2015) and an unprecedented societal focus on behavioral prevention of disease suggests that now is the time to leverage emotion science to improve health and health care. Extending the appraisal tendency framework (Lerner & Keltner, 2000), we predict how emotions may interact with si...

However, > 20 published users’ guides currently exist, and our experience shows that residents and clinicians attempting to pursue a practice that uses evidence-based medicine have 1 of 2 problems: either they try to memorise, without much success, all the questions from several of these guides, or they rely completely on small pocket cards that contain the pertinent questions and then find the...

The world in color presents a dazzling dimension of phenotypic variation. Biological interest in this variation has burgeoned, due to both increased means for quantifying spectral information and heightened appreciation for how animals view the world differently than humans. Effective study of color traits is challenged by how to best quantify visual perception in nonhuman species. This require...
