美国大学申请ED,EA,RA的区别
什么是美国大学的提前录取?美国大学通常有三种录取方式,即“提前决定”(简称ED),“提前行动”(简称EA)和“常规录取”(简称RD):前两者可统称为“提前录取”,就是美国留学申请常说的ED, EA二具体来说就是:ED即Early Decision,是指具有约束力的提前录取;Ea即Early Action,是指不具约束力的提前录取:名词解释:ED (Early- Decision )当你申请了某所大学的ED,一旦被录取,申请人必须进入这所学校二如果没有被录取,会被直接拒绝或者延迟到RD再做决定。
ED通常会增加录取的几率,但是这样的学校只能申请一所。
建议ED录取后撤销已经申请好的RD的学校,否则会影响其他学生被录取的机会。
有些大学的ED在时间上还划分为Early Decision I. Early Decision II.ED工的截止日期一般是11月1日或11月15日,这时候所有申请材料就要寄到学校二这种情况下,TOEFL考试要在1o月份或之前考完,SA T考试不能晚于11月份。
12月15号左右会得到录取结果。
ED II的截止日期在12月一次年1月,2月份左右会得到录取结果。
名词解释:EA (Early Action / Early Admission)EA分为三种:OEA (open EA]. REA(Restricted EA) 和SCEA (Single-Choice EA).1, OEA(Open EA):这个是我们最常见的EA形式:可以选择多所开设EA的大学进行申请,拿到录取结果后可以选择去,也可以选择不去二与ED相比,此类EA并没有强制的约束性。
EA截止日期早,出结果也早。
2. REA(Restricted EA)。
这种EA的形式比较接近于ED,具有一定的约束性:当申请了REA之后就不能同时申请其他任何的提前录取申请,包括ED. OEA. REA等等,但可以申请RD,并且录取后也可以选择不去学校报到注册。
欧洲大学科研捐赠模式与保障措施
欧洲大学科研捐赠模式与保障措施作者:杨晓斐来源:《高教探索》2014年第01期收稿日期:2013-03-20作者简介:杨晓斐,河南理工大学外国语学院讲师。
(河南焦作/454003)*本文系河南省教育厅人文社会科学研究规划项目“基于‘三重螺旋’理论的高校协同创新联盟建设研究”(2013-GH-182),河南理工大学青年骨干教师资助计划“高校协同创新中心建设研究”的成果之一。
摘要:为确保大学科研资金的可持续性,提升大学卓越科研能力,欧盟采取了一系列激励政策,鼓励大学科研捐赠。
欧洲大学科研捐赠模式包括“主要捐赠模式”、“基金研究模式”、“复合模式”和“校友模式”。
在保障措施上,欧洲大学研究捐赠注重设立政府配套资助、创建卓越科研项目、发展各种形式基金会。
关键词:欧洲大学科研;捐赠模式;保障措施为保障大学科研资金来源的可持续性,“欧洲大学收入多元化”(EUDIS)改革特别强调了利用财务收入多元化促进其他收入,以便平衡大学收入结构,从而确保大学通过拥有充足的科研财政收入实现其学术目标。
[1]为提升欧洲大学社会捐赠能力,吸纳更多、更稳定社会捐赠发展大学科研事业,欧盟出台了一系列激励政策,并在模式选择和保障措施上积累了丰富经验。
反思其成功经验,为我国当前高校科研社会捐赠形成科学认识提供有益借鉴。
一、欧洲大学科研捐赠的政策激励近年来,为创建知识创新型欧洲研究区,欧盟决定大幅增加研发投入,强化研发财政支持力度,将欧盟研发经费翻一番。
2002年,巴塞罗那峰会通过了“到2010年使欧盟研究总经费占其GDP 3%”的战略目标,其中2/3来自私人投资,1/3由公共部门承担。
[2]“欧洲研究区”确立了未来欧洲创建世界一流科研基地、实现科研卓越的战略目标。
然而,研发资金投入不足已成为欧洲研究区建设的重大障碍,对此,欧盟2003年的《研究投入行动计划》和2005年的《更多研究和创新》等政策报告,都对欧洲大学科研资金投入提出了明确要求,并在加大政府公共投资基础上,把扩大私营部门、社会捐赠作为欧洲大学科研投入的重要来源。

INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON HARMONISATION OF TECHNICALREQUIREMENTS FOR REGISTRATION OF PHARMACEUTICALS FOR HUMAN USEFinal Concept PaperQ3C: Impurities: Guideline for Residual SolventsDated and endorsed by the Steering Committee on 10 March 1994Problem statement/ObjectivesA general policy in limiting residual solvents (organic volatile impurities) qualitatively and quantitatively in drug products and excipient has not been defined globally.Background/Status quoAt the second International Conference on Harmonisation in Orlando in October 1993, the subject of impurities enjoyed substantial interest and debate. The Expert Working Group on Quality is working to create a guideline on impurities and the pharmacopoeias have standards dealing with impurities. Toxicologists also have participated on the subject of impurities, with regard to toxicity of process-related impurities.The issue remaining for resolution with regard to impurities lines in the area of limits on low levels of organic volatile, e.g., residues of solvents. So far, different limits are employed orare being considered among the regulatory agencies and the pharmacopoeias. Agreement on a single set of limits is highly desirable.The pharmacopoeias have begun studies for harmonisation of their approach for the control of residual solvents. However it is preferable that other interested Parties participate in an effortto achieve agreement rather than the ICH Expert Working Group and the Pharmacopoeias reaching independent decisions which will have to be harmonised later through negotiation.ImpactThe list of residual solvents to be limited and the limits tolerated for these solvents in each ofthe regions differs (e.g. case by case decision by the Registration Authorities, different proposals of USP, Ph.Eur, and Japanese Pharmacopoeia). This leads to uncertainty and implies duplication of work for industry.Time frameGiven that the first prospectives have been studied within the Pharmacopoeial Discussion Group it should be feasible to complete the topic and announce the results at the ICH3 Conference in November 1995.Expert GroupThe existing ICH Working Group on impurities composed of chemists and toxicologists would be an appropriate Forum with the addition of the experts of the pharmacopoeial bodies,i.e. the USP Committee of Revision, European Pharmacopoeia Commission and the Committee on the Japanese Pharmacopoeia.-1-。

Unite 3 Doctor’s Dilemma: Treat or Let Die?Abigail Trafford1. Medical advances in wonder drugs, daring surgical procedures, radiation therapies, and intensive-care units have brought new life to thousands of people. Yet to many of them, modern medicine has become a double-edged sword.2. Doctor’s power to treat with an array of space-age techniques has outstripped the body’s capacity to heal. More medical problems can be treated, but for many patients, there is little hope of recovery. Even the fundamental distinction between life and death has been blurred.3. Many Americans are caught in medical limbo, as was the South Korean boxer Duk Koo Kim, who was kept alive by artificial means after he had been knocked unconscious in a fight and his brain ceased to function. With the permission of his family, doctors in Las Vegas disconnected the life-support machines and death quickly followed.4. In the wake of technology’s advances in medicine, a heated debate is taking place in hospitals and nursing homes across the country --- over whether survival or quality of life is the paramount goal of medicine.5. “It gets down to what medicine is all about, ” says Daniel Callahan, director of the Institute of Society, Ethics, and the Life Sciences in Hastings-on-Hudson, New York. “Is it really to save a life? Or is the larger goal the welfare of the patient?”6. Doctors, patients, relatives, and often the courts are being forced to make hard choices in medicine. Most often it is at the two extremes of life that these difficultyethical questions arise --- at the beginning for the very sick newborn and at the end for the dying patient.7. The dilemma posed by modern medical technology has created the growing new discipline or bioethics. Many of the country’s 127 medical s chools now offer courses in medical ethics, a field virtually ignored only a decade ago. Many hospitals have chaplains, philosophers, psychiatrists, and social workers on the staff to help patients make crucial decisions, and one in twenty institutions has a special ethics committee to resolve difficult cases.Death and Dying8. Of all the patients in intensive-care units who are at risk of dying, some 20 percent present difficult ethical choices --- whether to keep trying to save the life or to pull back and let the patient die. In many units, decisions regarding life-sustaining care are made about three times a week.9. Even the definition of death has been changed. Now that the heart-lung machine can take over the functions of breathing and pumping blood, death no longer always comes with the patient’s “last gasp” or when the heart stops beating. Thirty-one states and the District of Columbia have passed brain-death statutes that identify death as when the whole brain ceases to function.10. More than a do zen states recognize “living wills” in which the patients leave instructions to doctors not to prolong life by feeding them intravenously or by other methods if their illness becomes hopeless. A survey of California doctors showed that 20 to 30 percent were following instructions of such wills. Meanwhile, the hospicemovement, which its emphasis on providing comfort --- not cure --- to the dying patient, has gained momentum in many areas.11. Despite progress in society’s understanding of death and dying, t heory issues remain. Example: A woman, 87, afflicted by the nervous-system disorder of Parkinson’s disease, has a massive stroke and is found unconscious by her family. Their choices are to put her in a nursing home until she dies or to send her to a medical center for diagnosis and possible treatment. The family opts for a teaching hospital in New York city. Tests show the woman’s stroke resulted from a blood clot that is curable with surgery. After the operation, she says to her family: “Why did you bring me back to this agony?” Her health continues to worsen, and two years later she dies.12. On the other hand, doctors say prognosis is often uncertain and that patients, just because they are old and disabled, should not be denied life-saving therapy. Ethicists also fear that under the guise of medical decision not to treat certain patients, death may become too easy, pushing the country toward the acceptance of euthanasia.13. For some people, the agony of watching high-technology dying is too great. Earlier this year, Woodrow Wilson Collums, a retired dairyman from Poteet, Texas, was put on probation for the mercy killing of his older brother Jim, who lay hopeless in his bed at a nursing home, a victim of severe senility resul ting from Alzheimer’s disease. After the killing, the victim’s widow said: “I think God, Jim’s out of his misery. I hate to think it had to be done the way it was done, but I understand it. ”Crisis in Newborn Care14. At the other end of the life span, technology has so revolutionized newborn carethat it is no longer clear when human life is viable outside the womb. Newborn care has got huge progress, so it is absolutely clear that human being can survive independently outside the womb. Twenty-five years ago, infants weighting less than three and one-half pounds rarely survived. The current survival rate is 70 percent, and doctors are “salvaging” some babies that weigh only one and one-half pounds. Tremendous progress has been made in treating birth deformities such as spina bifida. Just ten years ago, only 5 percent of infants with transposition of the great arteries --- the congenital heart defect most commonly found in newborns --- survived. Today, 50 percent live.15. Yet, for many infants who owe their lives to new medical advances, survival has come at a price. A significant number emerge with permanent physical and mental handicaps.16. “The question of treatment and nontreatment of seriously ill newborns is not a single one,”says Thomas Murray of the Hastings Center. “But I feel strongly that retardation or the fact that someone is going to be less than perfect is not good grounds for allowing an infant to die.”17. For many parents, however, the experience of having a sick newborn becomes a lingering nightmare. Two years ago, an Atlanta mother gave birth to a baby suffering from Down’s Syndrome, a form of mental retardation; the child also had blocked intestines. The doctors rejected the parents’ plea not to operate, and today the child, severely retarded, still suffers intestinal problems.18. “Every time Melanie has a bowel movement, she cries,” explains her mother.“She’s not able to take care of herself, and we won’t live forever. I wanted to save her from sorrow, pain, and suffering. I don’t understand the emphasis on life at all costs, and I’m very angry at the doctors and the hospital. Who will take care of Melanie after we’re gone? Where will you doctors be then?”Changing Standards19. The choices posed by modern technology have profoundly changed the practice of medicine. Until now, most doctors have been activists, trained to use all the tools in their medical arsenals to treat disease. The current trend is toward nontreatment as doctors grapple with questions not just of who should get care but when to take therapy away.20. Always in the background is the threat of legal action. In August, two California doctors were charged with murdering a comatose patient by allegedly disconnecting the respirator and cutting off food and water. In 1981, a Massachusetts nurse was charged with murdering a cancer patient with massive doses of morphine but was subsequently acquitted.21. Between lawsuits, government regulations, and patients’ rights, many doctors feel they are under siege. Modern technology actually has limited their ability to make choices. More recently, these actions are resolved by committees.Public Policy22. In recent years, the debate on medical ethics has moved to the level of national policy. “It’s just beginning to hit us that we don’t have unlimited resources,” says Washington Hospital Center’s Dr. Lynch. “You can’t talk about ethics without talkingethics without talking about money.”23. Since 1972. Americans have enjoyed unlimited access to a taxpayer-supported, kidney dialysis program that offers life-prolonging therapy to all patients with kidney failure. To a number of police analysts, the program has grown out of control --- to a $1.4billion operation supporting 61,000 patients. The majority are over 50, and about a quarter have other illness, such as cancer or heart disease, conditions that could exclude them from dialysis in other countries.24. Some hospitals are pulling back from certain lifesaving treatment. Massachusetts General Hospital, for example, has decided not perform heart transplants on the ground that the high costs of providing such surgery help too few patients. Burn units --- through extremely effective --- also provide very expensive therapy for very few patients.25. As medical scientists push back the frontiers of therapy, the moral dilemma will continue to grow for doctors and patients alike, making the choice of to treat the basic question in modern medicine.1. 在特效药、风险性手术进程、放疗法以及特护病房方面的医学进展已为数千人带来新生。

价格的利润生物公司正在吞噬可改变动物DNA序列的所有专利。
这是对阻碍医学研究发展的一种冲击。
木匠认为他们的贸易工具是理所当然的。
他们买木材和锤子后,他们可以使用木材和锤子去制作任何他们所选择的东西。
多年之后来自木材厂和工具储藏室的人并没有任何进展,也没有索要利润份额。
对于那些打造明日药物的科学家们来说,这种独立性是一种罕见的奢侈品。
发展或是发现这些生物技术贸易中的工具和稀有材料的公司,对那些其他也用这些工具和材料的人进行了严格的监控。
这些工具包括关键基因的DNA序列,人类、动物植物和一些病毒的基因的部分片段,例如,HIV,克隆细胞,酶,删除基因和用于快速扫描DNA样品的DNA 芯片。
为了将他们这些关键的资源得到手,医学研究人员进场不得不签署协议,这些协议可以制约他们如何使用这些资源或是保证发现这些的公司可以得到最终结果中的部分利益。
许多学者称这抑制了了解和治愈疾病的进程。
这些建议使Harold得到了警示,Harold是华盛顿附近的美国国家卫生研究院的院长,在同年早期,他建立了一个工作小组去调查此事。
由于他的提早的调查,下个月出就能发布初步的报告。
来自安阿伯密歇根大学的法律教授,该工作组的主席Rebecea Eisenberg说,她们的工作组已经听到了好多研究者的抱怨,在它们中有一份由美国联合大学技术管理组提交的重量级的卷宗。
为了帮助收集证据,NIH建立了一个网站,在这个网站上研究者们可以匿名举报一些案件,这些案件他们相信他们的工作已经被这些限制性许可证严重阻碍了。
迫使研究人员在出版之前需要将他们的手稿展示给公司的这一保密条款和协议是投诉中最常见的原因之一。
另一个问题是一些公司坚持保有自动许可证的权利,该许可证是有关利用他们物质所生产的任何未来将被发现的产品,并且这些赋予他们对任何利用他们的工具所赚取的利润的支配权利的条款也有保有的权利。
Eisenberg说:“如果你不得不签署了许多这样的条款的话,那真的是一个大麻烦”。

829-1998_IEEE Standard for Software Test Documentation
IEEE Std 829-1998(Revision ofIEEE Std 829-1983) IEEE Standard for Software Test DocumentationSponsorSoftware Engineering Technical Committeeof theIEEE Computer SocietyApproved 16 September 1998IEEE-SA Standards BoardAbstract: A set of basic software test documents is described. This standard speciÞes the form and content of individual test documents. It does not specify the required set of test documents. Keywords: test case specification, test design specification, test incident report, test item transmit-tal report, test log, test plan, test procedure specification, test summary reportIEEE Standards documents are developed within the IEEE Societies and the Standards Coordinat-ing Committees of the IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) Standards Board. Members of the committees serve voluntarily and without compensation. They are not necessarily members of the Institute. The standards developed within IEEE represent a consensus of the broad expertise on the subject within the Institute as well as those activities outside of IEEE that have expressed an inter-est in participating in the development of the standard.Use of an IEEE Standard is wholly voluntary. The existence of an IEEE Standard does not imply that there are no other ways to produce, test, measure, purchase, market, or provide other goods and services related to the scope of the IEEE Standard. Furthermore, the viewpoint expressed at the time a standard is approved and issued is subject to change brought about through developments in the state of the art and comments received from users of the standard. Every IEEE Standard is sub-jected to review at least every Þve years for revision or reafÞrmation. When a document is more than Þve years old and has not been reafÞrmed, it is reasonable to conclude that its contents, although still of some value, do not wholly reßect the present state of the art. Users are cautioned to check to determine that they have the latest edition of any IEEE Standard.Comments for revision of IEEE Standards are welcome from any interested party, regardless of membership afÞliation with IEEE. Suggestions for changes in documents should be in the form of a proposed change of text, together with appropriate supporting comments.Interpretations: Occasionally questions may arise regarding the meaning of portions of standards as they relate to speciÞc applications. When the need for interpretations is brought to the attention of IEEE, the Institute will initiate action to prepare appropriate responses. Since IEEE Standards rep-resent a consensus of all concerned interests, it is important to ensure that any interpretation has also received the concurrence of a balance of interests. For this reason, IEEE and the members of its societies and Standards Coordinating Committees are not able to provide an instant response to interpretation requests except in those cases where the matter has previously received formal consideration.Comments on standards and requests for interpretations should be addressed to:Secretary, IEEE-SA Standards Board445 Hoes LaneP.O.

A standardized test docu-ment can facilitate communication by providing a common frame of reference (e.g., a customer and a supplier have the same deÞnition for a test plan). The content deÞnition of a standardized test document can serve as a completeness checklist for the associated testing process. A standardized set can also provide a baseline for the evaluation of current test documentation practices. In many organizations, the use of these documents signiÞcantly increases the manageability of testing. Increased manageability results from the greatly increased visibility of each phase of the testing process.This standard speciÞes the form and content of individual test documents. It does not specify the required set of test documents. It is assumed that the required set of test documents will be speciÞed when the standard is applied. Annex B contains an example of such a set speciÞcation.The readers of this standard are referred to Annex C for guidelines for using this standard to meet the requirements of IEEE/EIA 12207.1-1997, IEEE/EIA Guide for Information TechnologyÑSoftware life cycle processesÑLife cycle data.OverviewThe documents outlined in this standard cover test planning, test speciÞcation, and test reporting.The test plan prescribes the scope, approach, resources, and schedule of the testing activities. It identiÞes the items to be tested, the features to be tested, the testing tasks to be performed, the personnel responsible for each task, and the risks associated with the plan.Test speciÞcation is covered by three document types:Ñ A test design speciÞcation reÞnes the test approach and identiÞes the features to be covered by the design and its associated tests. It also identiÞes the test cases and test procedures, if any, required to accomplish the testing and speciÞes the feature pass/fail criteria.Ñ A test case speciÞcation documents the actual values used for input along with the anticipated out-puts. A test case also identiÞes constraints on the test procedures resulting from use of that speciÞc test case. Test cases are separated from test designs to allow for use in more than one design and to allow for reuse in other situations.Ñ A test procedure speciÞcation identiÞes all steps required to operate the system and exercise the speciÞed test cases in order to implement the associated test design. Test procedures are separated from test design speciÞcations as they are intended to be followed step by step and should not have extraneous detail.Test reporting is covered by four document types:Ñ A test item transmittal report identiÞes the test items being transmitted for testing in the event that separate development and test groups are involved or in the event that a formal beginning of test exe-cution is desired.Ñ A test log is used by the test team to record what occurred during test execution.Ñ A test incident report describes any event that occurs during the test execution which requires further investigation.Ñ A test summary report summarizes the testing activities associated with one or more test design spec-iÞcations.Figure 1 shows the relationships of these documents to one another as they are developed and to the testing process they document.Figure 1ÑRelationship of test documents to testing processTerminologyThe words shall, must, and the imperative form identify the mandatory material within this standard. The words should and may identify optional material.AnnexesThe examples found in Annex A are meant to clarify the intent of the document descriptions found in the standard. Some suggestions about implementing and using the standard are in Annex B. Guidelines for compliance with IEEE/EIA 12207.1-1997 are provided in Annex C.AudienceThis standard should be of interest to software users and software procurement personnel; to development,test, and maintenance personnel; to operations and acquisition support managers; to software quality assur-ance personnel and auditors; and to participants in the legal system.ParticipantsThis revision was prepared by the Life Cycle Data Harmonization Working Group of the Software Engineer-ing Standards Committee of the IEEE Computer Society.

ScopeThis standard describes a set of basic test documents that are associated with the dynamic aspects of soft-ware testing (i.e, the execution of procedures and code). The standard deÞnes the purpose, outline, and content of each basic document. While the documents described in the standard focus on dynamic testing, several of them may be applicable to other testing activities (e.g., the test plan and test incident report may be used for design and code reviews).This standard may be applied to commercial, scientiÞc, or military software that runs on any digital computer. Applicability is not restricted by the size, complexity, or criticality of the software. However, the standard does not specify any class of software to which it must be applied. The standard addresses the documentation of both initial development testing and the testing of subsequent software releases. For a particular software release, it may be applied to all phases of testing from module testing through user acceptance. However, since all of the basic test documents may not be useful in each test phase, the particu-lar documents to be used in a phase are not speciÞed. Each organization using the standard will need to spec-ify the classes of software to which it applies and the speciÞc documents required for a particular test phase. The standard does not call for speciÞc testing methodologies, approaches, techniques, facilities, or tools, and does not specify the documentation of their use. Additional test documentation may be required (e.g., code inspection checklists and reports). The standard also does not imply or impose speciÞc methodologies for documentation control, conÞguration management, or quality assurance. Additional documentation (e.g., a quality assurance plan) may be needed depending on the particular methodologies used.Within each standard document, the content of each section (i.e., the text that covers the designated topics) may be tailored to the particular application and the particular testing phase. In addition to tailoring content, additional documents may be added to the basic set, additional sections may be added to any document, and additional content may be added to any section. It may be useful to organize some of the sections into subsections. Some or all of the contents of a section may be contained in another document which is then referenced. Each organization using the standard should specify additional content requirements and conventions in order to reßect their own particular methodologies, approaches, facilities, and tools for test-ing, documentation control, conÞguration management, and quality assurance.This standard applies to documentation on electronic media as well as paper. Paper must be used for docu-ments requiring approval signatures, unless the electronic documentation system has a secure approval anno-tation mechanism and that mechanism is used.IEEEStd 829-1998IEEE ST ANDARD FOR 2.

ITS:/renewMessage from the VP Technical Activitiesby Daniel ZengDear Colleagues,I would like to take this opportunity to update you about ITSS Technical sub-Committees(TCs).These TCs,organized by ITS subject topics,are a central part of the ITSS Technical Activity Board(TAB).They are expected to promote various areas of ITS research by organizing special sessions at the ITSS-sponsored conferences,editing special sections/issues for the Transactions and the Newsletter,and pursuing other tech-nical activities with partners within or outside of the ITSS.Through efforts in the past couple of years,ITSS has extended the coverage of its TCs significantly.Now it has11TCs:•Mobile Communication Networks•Intelligence and Security Informatics for Transportation Systems•Artificial Transportation Systems and Simulation•Logistics and Services•Railroad Systems and Applications•ITS for Air Traffic•Communication Networks•Mechatronic and Embedded Systems in ITS•Port Automation and Management•Vehicle Safety Technologies and Applications•Software Infrastructure in ITSMany TCs have been very active in organizing ITSS events including both ITSS-sponsored conferences and special sessions within ITSS main events.They have also done a superb job reaching out to other profes-sional groups for joint technical activities.These efforts are certainly greatly appreciated by the ITSS and its members!We are continuing the expansion of the TC coverage.In the short term,we are hoping to form3more TCs covering the following critical areas:•Traffic and Travel Management•Public Transportation Management•Intelligent Water Transportation SystemsWe are encouraging established researchers in these areas to take the lead in setting up these TCs and certainly welcome our members to participate actively in these TCs.Please drop me an email atzeng@ if you have an interest.Of course,other suggestions about future ITSS technical activities are always welcome as well.Enjoy your summer!Bookreviewby Algirdas Pakstas London Metropolitan UniversityBook Review:Parking Management Best PracticesBy Todd LitmanReviewed by Dr.Farhi Marir,Knowledge Management Research Group,London Metropolitan Univer-sityThis book is written by Todd Litman who is the executive director ofthe Victoria Transport Policy Institute,an independent research organi-zation dedicated to developing innovative solutions to transport problems.His research is used worldwide in transport planning and policy analy-sis.In this book,Litman puts in writing his experience of best prac-tice in parking management,which is a major issue for a large numberof stake holders of parking space;the car drivers who is not happy whenthere is no parking space,the government which can not afford to main-tain large number of parking space,businesses who are not happy becausethey loose their customers when there is not enough parking space,thelocal communities who are asking for better land use and better environ-ment.The book in its introduction put forward strong arguments to the stakeholders that the solution to this conflict is not about providing abundantand free parking spaces but it is about managing efficiently these parkingspaces instead.The author presents a variety of strategies that encouragemore efficient use of existing parking facilities,improve the quality of serviceprovided to parking facility users and improve parking facility design.He also argues that the strategies put forward can help address a wide range of transportation problems,land use development,economic,and environmental objectives.The author devoted292pages in this book(8Chapters,Glossary and Index)to consolidate his strate-gies and present parking management best practices.Chapter1(Introduction)emphasises that parking is an important component of the transportation system. It presents the benefits of better management of parking space on individual,businesses and communities. It also presents different strategies for parking facilities efficiency and the parking management principles. Then,in Section two,the author emphasises that parking management represents a paradigm shift from the old paradigm which strives to maximise supply and minimise price to the new paradigm which strives to provide optimal parking supply and price.It consolidates these arguments by providing summaries of cost benefit analysis.Based on this paradigm shift and the results of the cost benefit analyses,the third Section redefines the parking problem supported by an extensive comparison of the increased supply against management solutions.Chapter2(How Much is Optimal?)focuses on how to achieve the objective of the new paradigm in terms of optimal parking supply and optimal pricing.In thefirst Section of this Chapter the author highlights the problem of the planner of the parking supply who,instead of using economic theory to determine optimal parking supply to satisfy the consumers,relies on recommended minimum standards published by profes-sional organisations.Although these standards seem rational and efficient,they are developed based onvarious biases that drive towards excessive parking supply.In Section two and three,the author presents conventional standards limitations and the evidence that they lead to excessive parking supply.Then in Section four,the author presents better ways that determine how much parking to supply.He argues that it will be more efficient to use efficiency-based standards that take into account specific needs of each location and its geographic,demographic,and economic factors.He backed this Chapter with16references and information resources.In Chapter3(Factors Affecting Parking Demand and Requirements),the author argues that many parking management strategies use these factors to increase efficiency and reduce the supply of parking needed at a particular location.In Section one,it is discussed how parking demand is affected by parking facility location,type and design and how this compares with other nearby portions.In Section two it is analysed how the geography factor is affecting parking demand.For instance,residents of communities with more diverse transportation systems tend to own fewer cars and take fewer vehicle trips than in more automobile-dependent areas.The third Section is devoted to the demographic factors,which affects vehicle ownership and use where for instance communities composed of students,renters,elderly people with disability tend to own fewer cars.In the last three Sections the author discusses in details how the pricing and regulations, parking mobility management programme and time period affect the parking demands.This Chapter ends with evaluation of multiple factors and33references and information sources used by the author to consoli-date his discussion.In Chapter4(Parking Facility Costs),the author emphasises that the major benefit of parking management is the ability to reduce various parking costs.He states that the magnitude of saving is an important factor when it comes to the evaluation of parking management strategies.In thefirstfive Sections of this Chapter, the author discusses the costs of parking space in terms of land use,construction of above ground parking, operation and maintenance of parking space,transaction such as cost for equipment,signs,attendants and other associated costs.In the Section seven and eight,the author presents the total and the sunk costs for parking and put some arguments that if an efficient parking management is in place it does not only reduce these costs but provides indirect benefits.In the last three Sections,the author presents an extensive comparisons between parking costs with total development costs and other transaction costs and he also highlights the implication of under priced costs.This Chapter ends with18references and information resources.Chapter5(Parking Management Strategies)is the largest Chapter where three strategies are described and evaluated extensively:strategies that increase parking facilities efficiency,strategies that reduce park-ing demand and support strategies.Each strategy is described in details including its impacts on parking demand and requirements,its benefit,costs and consumer impacts,where it could be best applied,how it could be implemented and its lists of useful reference and source of additional information.This Chapter is the core of this book where the author lays out his extensive experience and best practice that could be used by planners to implement an efficient parking management strategy.In this Chapter there are109references and information sources for the strategies that increase parking facilities efficiency,102references and infor-mation resources for strategies that reduce parking demand and76references and information resources for support strategies.Chapter6(Developing an Integrated Parking Plan)provides a clear and concise methodology for developing an integrated parking plan that includes an optimal combination of complementary management strategies. It describes the steps for an efficient planning process,providing leadership for innovation and cost benefits analysis in terms additional income,cost saving and increased benefits to users and community.These steps are enhanced with real world example to support the planner in his decisions.This Chapter ends with15 references and information resources.Chapter7(Evaluating Individual Parking Facilities)equips the planner with tools which can help to evalu-ate specific parking facilities in terms of various parking performance indicators and management strategies. This Chapter is enriched with many examples of well designed and efficiently managed parking facilities in contrast to unattractive and poorly managed parking facilities.This Chapter is another additional incentiveand supports the planner for better innovation when there is a need for planning or designing new parking facilities.This Chapter ends with16references and information resources.Chapter8(Examples)is devoted to description of examples/case studies of the various types of parking management.The study includes the description of the situation,a discussion on how practically the park-ing management could be applied,and also the list of appropriate parking management strategies best suited for that situation.This Chapter ends with16references and information resources.Glossary contains a rich set of terms related to Parking Management.Additional Chapter of References contains46references and information resources,which are relevant to the whole area considered in this book.The book is ended with Index on7pages.Parking Management Best Practices,By Todd Litman2006,292p.,Hardcover,ISBN:978-1-932364-05-7Publisher’s recommended price:69.95USDReport on IEEE Trans.on Intelligent Transportation Systems by Alberto BroggiTransactions EiC report,updated June1,2007Number of submissions:The number of submissions is increasing:167in2004,157in2005,234in2006,and97in thefirst5 months of2007.Rapid posting:All papers appear on Explore before being printed,thanks to rapid posting.Authors have expressed interest in this way of disseminating their results independently of the actual publication.Please be advised that authors can post their papers on their websites provided they add the specific disclaimer supplied by IEEE.Special Issues:The following special issues are under way:-special issue on On-the-road Mobile Networks-special issue on ITSC06Type of accepted manuscripts:From Jan1,2007,T-ITS accepts the following type of manuscripts:-regular papers-short papers(formerly known as’technical correspondences’)-survey papers(formerly known as’reviews’)-practitioners papersMaximum number of pages:From the2007September issue,the policy on the maximum number of pages will change:regular papers will be allowed10pages,short papers and practitioners papers6,while there will be no limit to survey papers.

application of novel multisensory testbeds forcollection,synchronization,archival,and analysis of multimodal data for health monitoring oftransportation infrastructures.The framework for data capture from vision and seismic sensorsis described,and the important issue of synchronization between these modalities is addressed.Computer-vision algorithms are used to detect and track vehicles and extract their properties.It isnoted that the video and seismic sensors in the testbed supply complementary information aboutpassing vehicles.Data fusion between features obtained from these modalities is used to per-form vehicle classification.Experimental results of vehicle detection,tracking,and classificationobtained with these testbeds are described.Page(s):169-180Digital Object

characteristics such asflow,density,and space mean speed(SMS)arecritical to Intelligent Transportation Systems(ITS).For example,flow is a direct measure ofthroughput,density is an ideal indicator of traffic conditions,and SMS is the primary input tocompute travel times.An attractive method to compute traffic-flow characteristics in ITS isexpected to meet the following criteria:1)It should be a one-stop solution,meaning it involvesonly one type of sensor that is able to determineflow,SMS,and density;2)it should be accurate,meaning it determines these characteristics by definition rather than by estimation or by usingsurrogates;3)it should preserve the fundamental relationship amongflow,SMS,and density;and4)it should be compatible with ITS,meaning it uses ITS data and supports online application.Existing methods may be good for one or some of the above criteria,but none satisfies all ofthem.This paper tackles the challenge by formulating a method,called the n−t method,whichaddresses all these criteria.Its accuracy and the fundamental relationship are guaranteed byapplying a generalized definition of traffic-flow characteristics.Inputs to the method are time-stamped traffic counts which happen to be the strength of most ITS systems.Some empiricalexamples are provided to demonstrate the performance of the n−t method.Page(s):181-187Digital Object

paper,we suggested a vision-based traffic accident detection algorithm and developed a system for automatically detecting,recording,and reporting traffic accidents at inter-sections.A system with these properties would be beneficial in determining the cause of accidents and the features of an intersection that impact safety.This modelfirst extracts the vehicles from the video image of the charge-couple-device camera,tracks the moving vehicles(MVs),and ex-tracts features such as the variation rate of the velocity,position,area,and direction of MVs.The model then makes decisions on the traffic accident based on the extracted features.In afield test,the suggested model achieved a correct detection rate(CDR)of50%and a detection rate of 60%.Considering that a sound-based accident detection system showed a CDR of1%and a DR of66.1%,our result is a remarkable achievement.Page(s):188-194Digital Object Identifier10.1109/TITS.2006.890070AbstractPlus—Full Text:PDF(506KB)Rights and

are pre-sented.Based on the assumption of constant driving speed,a second-order nonlinear lateral dynamics model is obtained.Local stability and existence conditions for saddle-node bifurcation appearing in vehicle dynamics with respect to the variations in front wheel steering angle are then derived via system linearization and local bifurcation analysis.Bifurcation phenomena occurring in vehicle lateral dynamics might result in spin and/or system instability.A perturbation method is employed to solve for an approximation of system equilibrium near the zero value of the front wheel steering angle,which reveals the relationship between sideslip angle and the applied front wheel angle.Numerical simulations from an example model demonstrate the theoretical results.

4月22日USCIS EB-5移民项目利益相关者会议记录
4月22日USCIS EB-5移民项目利益相关者会议记录2015年4月22日,USCIS举行了一场EB-5利益相关者电话会议。
投资移民项目办公室(IPO)主任Nicholas Colucci先生首先给出了一些关于IPO人事组成和活动的数据:101位工作人员,包括53位审核官、21位经济学家,很快将要再新增5位审核官。
他目标到2015年9月30日时拥有121位工作人员。
他希望工作人员的配置情况能跟得上申请收件的数量,并且能够分配更多的工作人员去处理积压的申请,改善申请积压情况。
自IPO 成立起第一次,在三月,IPO审核完成了1100份I-526申请,完成数比收件数680份要多。
本财政年上半年(十月至三月):I-526: 收件5250 审核完成4236I-829: 收件1523 审核完成341I-924: 收件170 审核完成135相较于去年同期(该财政年的前两个季度),IPO的526收件增长12%,829收件增长76%,924收件增长34%。
截止二月底的审核时间:I-526 - 14.2 个月I-829 - 12.3个月I-924 - 11.7个月两年前IPO收取了340份I-924A表,针对未能递交924A的区域中心发出了29份有意终止通知书(NOIT)(基本上是由于不作为),并终止了其中8个区域中心。
IPO针对未能促进经济增长的区域中心发出了30份有意终止通知书(NOIT)(基本上是由于不作为),并因此终止了7个区域中心。
去年已批准的581个区域中心中,524个递交了924A,57个未能递交,数量未知的区域中心获发了NOIT(由于其他原因)。
除了不作为原因外,IPO也终止了另外4个区域中心:1个区域中心被解散,2个区域中心在犯罪调查后被终止,1个区域中心被认为无法促进经济增长(根据是:该区域中心把投资人的资金用在了错误的地方,也未能解释赞助的EB-5投资情况,还存在其他劣势)。
Colucci先生敦促利益相关者向USCIS打电话或发邮件举报EB-5程序中所涉及的各方的违规情况。
新提案出炉!EB-5涨价板上钉钉
新提案出炉!EB-5涨价板上钉钉美国时间6月4日,美国参议院委员会司法委员会高级参议员Patrick J.Leahy(民主党代表大佬,EB-5政界最高层铁杆支持者),代表他及主席Charles E. Grassley(共和党代表大佬,某种程度的EB-5反对者)提出了EB-5改革的S1501提案。
2013年,关于全面移民改革法案曾经在民主党把持的参议院获得通过,但被共和党把持的众议院无限期搁置;而2014年之后,又有好几次由中小议员发动的新EB-5议案无疾而终。
而此次,由两位国会立法重要级人物、各站在EB-5计划支持和批评对立面的民主党和共和党代表达成共识而联合推出的EB-5改革提案,被普遍预期被美国政界通过的阻力不会太大。
新提案:区域中心法案延长5年,投资额涨至80万美金EB-5新提案的主要内容包括:1、将EB-5区域中心法案延长至5年(至2020年9月30日);2、赋予DHS(国土安全局)更大的权力,可拒绝或终结涉及欺诈、刑事犯罪或威胁公共国家安全的相关申请;3、设立“EB-5诚信基金”,区域中心支付2万美元年费,以便DHS进行项目和审计,在美国境内外侦查欺诈行为;4、对区域中心和开发商负责人进行背景调查;5、要求DHS在投资人递交申请前审核项目;6、要求向投资者披露更多信息,包括商业风险和利益冲突;7、更严格的项目监控和证券法合格要求;8、修改TEA的定义,以便鼓励在高失业地区和乡村地区的投资;9、增加投资门槛,TEA为80万美元,非TEA为120万美元;10、降低审批时间,通过加速商业计划审批,并调整收费以实现有效审批。
侨外移民专家表示,从授权DHS监管管理关停区域中心、做区域中心和开发商背景调查、审核区域中心欺诈行为等系列提议,可以看出该提案极大地加强了投资者的保护力度,是件好事。
该提案坐实了之前业界预测的涨价传闻,但关于排期解决的问题并未涉及。
涨价,不仅是多了30万美元那么简单侨外移民专家表示,正如之前的预测,涨价可能是EB-5各利益方博弈的最佳舆论出口。

EBU – Recommendation R 128Loudness normalisation andpermitted maximum levelof audio signalsStatus: EBU RecommendationGeneva30 August 2010EBU R 128-2010 Audio loudness normalisation & permitted maximum levelLoudness normalisation andpermitted maximum level of audio signalsEBU Committee First Issued Revised Re-issued Technical Committee 2010Keywords: Audio levels, loudness, normalisation, permitted maximum levelThe EBU has studied the needs of audio signal levels in production, distribution and transmission of broadcast programmes. It is of the opinion that an audio-levelling paradigm is needed based on loudness measurement.In addition to the average loudness of a programme (‘Programme Loudness’) the EBU recommends that the descriptors ‘Loudness Range’ and ‘Maximum True Peak Level’ be used for the normalisation of audio signals, and to comply with the technical limits of the complete signal chain as well as the aesthetic needs of each programme/station depending on the genre(s) and the target audience.The EBU, considering;a)that peak normalisation of audio signals has led to considerable loudness differences betweenprogrammes and between broadcast channels;b)that the resulting loudness inconsistencies between programmes and between channels are thecause of the most viewer/listener complaints;c)that, when used to read peaks in the usual way, the QPPM (Quasi-Peak Programme Meter)specified in EBU Tech Doc 3205-E [1] does not reflect the loudness of an audio signal, and that the QPPM is not designed to indicate a long-term average;d)that with the proliferation of digital production, distribution and transmission systems, thepermitted maximum level of an audio signal specified in ITU-R BS.645 [2] is no longerappropriate;e)that an international standard for measuring audio programme loudness has been defined inITU-R BS.1770 [3], introducing the measures LU (Loudness Unit) and LUFS (Loudness Unit,referenced to Full Scale)1;f)that a gated measurement of Programme Loudness (hence measuring ‘Foreground Loudness’) isadvantageous to improve the loudness matching of programmes with a wide loudness range;g)and that the descriptor ‘Loudness Range’ can be used to assess the need for loudness-rangereduction to fit programmes to the tolerance window of the target audience;1 ‘LUFS’ is equivalent to ‘LKFS’ (which is used in ITU-R BS.1770-1). An input document has been submitted to the ITU requesting it to change its nomenclature to ‘LUFS’ (which is compliant with international naming conventions).Audio loudness normalisation & permitted maximum level EBU R 128-2010recommends (see Note):h)that the descriptors Programme Loudness, Loudness Range and Maximum True Peak Levelshall be used to characterise an audio signal;i)that the Programme Loudness Level shall be normalised to a Target Level of -23 LUFS.The permitted deviation from the Target Level shall generally not exceed ±1 LU forprogrammes where an exact normalisation to Target Level is not achievable practically (for example, live programmes);j)that the audio signal shall generally be measured in its entirety, without emphasis on specific elements such as voice, music or sound effects;k)that the measurement shall be made with a loudness meter compliant with both ITU-R BS.1770 and EBU Tech Doc 3341 [4];l)that this measurement shall include a gating method with a relative threshold of 8 LU below the ungated LUFS loudness level as specified in EBU Tech Doc 3341;m)that Loudness Range shall be measured with a meter compliant with EBU Tech Doc 3342 [5]; n)that the Maximum Permitted True Peak Level of a programme during production shall be -1 dBTP (dB True Peak), measured with a meter compliant with both ITU-R BS.1770 andEBU Tech Doc 3341.The EBU further recommendso)that loudness metadata shall be set to indicate -23 LUFS for each programme that has been loudness normalised to the Target Level of -23 LUFS;p)that loudness metadata shall always correctly indicate the actual programme loudness, even if for any reason a programme may not be loudness normalised to -23 LUFS;q)that audio processes, systems and operations concerning production and implementation should be made in compliance with EBU Tech Doc 3343 [6];r)that audio processes, systems and operations concerning distribution should be made in compliance with EBU Tech Doc 3344 [7].EBU R 128-2010 Audio loudness normalisation & permitted maximum levelDefinitions:Programme: An individual, self-contained audio-visual or audio-only item to bepresented in Radio, Television or other electronic media. Anadvertisement (commercial), trailer, promotional item (‘promo’),interstitial or similar item shall be considered to be a programme inthis context;Programme Loudness: The integrated loudness over the duration of a programme -Programme Loudness Level is the value (in LUFS) of ProgrammeLoudness;Loudness Range (LRA): This describes the distribution of loudness within a programme; Maximum True Peak Level: The maximum value of the audio signal waveform of a programme inthe continuous time domain.NoteAt the publication time of this recommendation, measurement instruments compliant with ITU-R BS.1770 [3] and EBU Tech Doc 3341 [4] have only recently become available. As the switch to loudness normalisation is a substantial change in audio signal levelling, aligning procedures as described in the EBU Tech Docs 3343 [6] and 3344 [7] will have an economical and organisational impact. Therefore a transition phase may be necessary by some broadcasters before this recommendation can be fully implemented; Broadcasters should in any case aim to make the transition as quickly as is practically possible.References[1] EBU Tech Doc 3205-E ‘The EBU standard peak-programme meter for the control ofinternational transmissions’[2] ITU-R BS.645 ‘Test signals and metering to be used on international sound programmeconnections’[3] ITU-R BS.1770 ‘Algorithms to measure audio programme loudness and true-peak audio level’[4] EBU Tech Doc 3341 ‘Loudness Metering: ‘EBU Mode’ metering to supplement loudnessnormalisation in accordance with EBU R 128’[5] EBU Tech Doc 3342 ‘Loudness Range: A descriptor to supplement loudness normalisation inaccordance with EBU R 128’[6] EBU Tech Doc 3343 ‘Practical Guidelines for Production and Implementation in accordancewith EBU R 128’[7] EBU Tech Doc 3344 ‘Practical Guidelines for Distribution of Programmes in accordance withEBU R 128’。

These amendments will enter into force on 1 January 2013, pending their acceptance on 1 July 2012.I114E - Quantification Addendum:International Medical Guide forShipsThis volume contains recommended quantities, indications and dosing for 55 medicines listed in the International Medical Guide for Ships 3rd edition. The quantities are based on three types of ships:- ocean-going ships with crews of 25-40 and no doctor (Category A);- coastal ships with cres of up to 25 that travel no more than 24 hours from a port of call (Category B); and - small boats and private craft with crews of 15 or less, and usually travelling no more than a few hours from a port of call (Category C).These quantities have been updated to reflect the decrease of crew numbers on most ships and calculated voyages on one month.This companion volume to the International Medical Guide for Ships provides essential guidance to all those who are involved in the procurement, purchasing, stock maintenance and use of medicines to promote and protect the health of seafarers worldwide.I115E - International Medical Guide for Ships, Third EditionThe third edition of the International Medical Guide for Ships shows designated first-aid providers how to diagnose, treat, and prevent the health problems of seafarers on board ship.Since its first publication in 1967, the International Medical Guide for Ships has been a standard reference for medical care on board ships. The second edition, written in 1988, was translated into more than 30 languages, and has been used in tens of thousands of ships. This, the third edition, contains fully updated recommendations aimed to promote and protect the health of seafarers, and is consistent with the latest revisions of both the WHO Model List of Essential Medicines and the International Health Regulations.The International Labour Organization's Maritime Labour Convention 2006 stipulates that all ships shall carry a medicine chest, medical equipment and a medical guide. The International Medical Guide for Ships supports a main principal of that convention; to ensure that seafarers are given health protection and medical care as comparable as possible to that which is generally available to workers ashore.By carrying this guide on board ships, and following its instructions, countries can both fulfill their obligations under the terms of the Maritime Labour Convention 2006, and ensure the best possible health outcomes for their seafaring population.I116E - ISPS Code, 2003 EditionThis publication is now ONLY available in e-reader file format. Please see below "Related Product" K116E.IA116E - Maritime Security Guide and the ISPS Code, 2012 EditionThis User Guide has been developed to consolidate existing IMO maritime security-related material into an easily read companion guide to SOLAS chapter XI-2 and the ISPS Code in order to assist States in promoting maritime security through development of the requisite legal framework, associated administrative practices, procedures and the necessary material, technical and human resources.It is intended both to assist SOLAS Contracting Governments in the implementation, verification, compliance with, and enforcement of, the provisions of SOLAS chapter XI-2 and the ISPS Code. It should also serve as an aid and reference for those engaged in delivering capacity-building activities in the field of maritime security.IB117E - ISM Code and Guidelines, 2010 EditionWith the entry into force, in 1998, of the 1994 amendments to SOLAS, 1974, which introduced a new chapter IX into the Convention, the ISM Code was made mandatory. The ISM Code's origins go back to the late 1980s, when there was mounting concern about poor management standards in shipping. Its current form was adopted by the Organization in 1993 and amended in 2000, 2004, 2005 and 2008.This new edition of the ISM Code consolidates:- Amendments to the ISM Code from resolution MSC.104(73), which entered into force on 1 July 2002, from resolution MSC.179(79), which entered into force on 1 July 2006, from resolution MSC.195(80), which entered into force on 1 January 2009, and from resolution MSC.273(85), which enters into force on 1 July 2010- New guidelines on implementation of the ISM Code by Administrations, adopted in 2009- SOLAS chapter IX, as amended in 2000 and 2005- Guidelines for the operational implementation of the ISM Code by Companies- Guidance on undertaking the role of the designated person under the provisions of the ISM Code- Guidance on near-miss reporting.This publication is an essential reference for maritime administrations, ship manufacturers, owners and operators, shipping companies, education institutes, engine and equipment manufacturers and others with interest in ensuring safety at sea and avoidance of damage to the environment.I128E - Casualty Investigation Code, 2008 EditionThe MSC adopted a new Code of International Standards and Recommended Practices for a Safety Investigation into a Marine Casualty or Marine Incident (Casualty Investigation Code). Relevant amendments to SOLAS Chapter XI 1 were also adopted, to make parts I and II of the Code mandatory. Part III of the Code contains related guidance and explanatory material.The Code will require a marine safety investigation to be conducted into every very serious marine casualty, defined as a marine casualty involving the total loss of the ship or a death or severe damage to the environment.The Code will also recommend an investigation into other marine casualties and incidents, by the flag State of a ship involved, if it is considered likely that it would provide information that could be used to prevent future accidents.The new regulations expand on SOLAS Regulation I/21, which requires Administrations to undertake to conduct an investigation of any casualty occurring to any of its ships when it judges that such an investigation may assist in determining what changes in the present regulations might be desirable.Please download and print the corrigendum from/Publications/SupplementsAndCDs/Pages/SupplementsInserts.aspx.IA155E - Fire Safety Systems (FSS) Code, 2007 EditionThe International Code for Fire Safety Systems (FSS Code) was adopted by the Maritime Safety Committee (MSC) at its seventy-third session (December 2000) by resolution MSC.98(73) in order to provide international standards for the fire safety systems and equipment required by chapter II-2 of the 1974 SOLAS Convention. The Code is made mandatory under SOLAS by amendments to the Convention adopted by the MSC at the same session (resolution MSC.99(73)) and entered into force on 1 July 2002.The MSC adopted amendments to chapters 4, 5, 6, 7 and 9 of the Code by resolutions MSC.206(81) and MSC.217(82). These new amendments are expected to be accepted on 1 January 2008 and 1 January 2010, as applicable, and enter into force on 1 July 2008 and 1 July 2010, as applicable. The amendments to the aforementioned chapters, as adopted by resolutions MSC.206(81) and MSC.217(82), are contained in pages 351-365 for information purposes only.In order to make this publication as comprehensive as possible for use by equipment and systems manufacturers, shipowners and operators, shipyards, classification societies and Administrations, all related fire safety standards and guidelines adopted by either the Assembly or the MSC and referred to in the FSS Code have been incorporated, as appropriate, in this publication for the guidance and convenience of users. Please always refer to the IMO website for updated circulars.I175E - SOLAS Amendments 2008 and 2009This publication presents amendments to the SOLAS Convention concerning, in part:- emergency towing on tankers (chapter II-1)- the 2008 IS Code (chapter II-1)- protection of vehicle, special category and roro spaces (chapter II-2)- passenger ships safety (chapter II-2)- the IMSBC Code (chapters II-2, VI and VII)- bridge navigational watch alarm system (BNWAS) and electronic chart display and information system (ECDIS) (chapter V)- the Casualty Investigation Code (chapter XI-1).IA185E - Int'l High-Speed Craft Code (2000 HSC Code), 2008 EditionThe International Code of Safety for High-Speed Craft, 2000 (2000 HSC Code) is a successor to the International Code of Safety for High-Speed Craft that was adopted in 1994. The 1994 HSC Code applies to high-speed craft that are involved in international voyages and for which the keels are laid after 1 January 1996.The 2000 HSC Code applies to craft for which the keels are laid, or which are at a similar stage of construction, on or after 1 July 2002. The application of the both HSC Codes is mandatory under chapter X of the SOLAS Convention.The new edition incorporates amendments that were adopted in 2004 and 2006. The 2004 amendments are in force and those that were adopted in 2006 came into force on 1 July 2008.I187E - High-Speed Craft (1994 HSC) Code, 1995 EditionAdopted by the Martime Safety Committee at its sixty-third session (May 1994) by resolution MSC.36(63). The 1994 SOLAS Conference (May 1994) makes the HSC Code mandatory by the addition of a new chapter X.The HSC Code has been developed following a revision of the Code of Safety for Dynamically Supported Craft (resolution A.373(X)) and in recognition of the growth in size and types of high-speed craft.Please download and print the supplement for this title at/Publications/SupplementsAndCDs/Pages/SupplementsInserts.aspx.I190E - Guidelines for ships operating in polar waters, 2010 EditionShips operating in the Arctic and Antarctic environments are exposed to a number of unique risks. Poor weather conditions and the relative lack of good charts, communication systems and other navigational aids pose challenges for mariners. The remoteness of the areas makes rescue or clean-up operations difficult and costly. Cold temperatures may reduce the effectiveness of numerous components of the ship, ranging from deck machinery and emergency equipment to sea suctions. When ice is present, it can impose additional loads on the hull, propulsion system and appendages.The Guidelines for ships operating in polar waters aim at mitigating the additional risk imposed on shipping in the harsh environmental and climatic conditions that exist in polar waters.This publication should be of interest to maritime administrations, ship manufacturers, shipping companies, cruise and tour operators, education institutes and others concerned with the safe operation of ships in polar waters.Product Area: CARGOESIH200E - IMDG Code, 2010 Edition (inc. Amdt 35-10) 2 volumesThe IMDG Code has undergone many changes over the years, in both formats and content, in order to keep up with the rapid expansion of the shipping industry. Amendment 35-10 includes revisions to various sections of the Code and to transport requirements for specific substances. It was adopted by IMO's Maritime Safety Committee (MSC) at its 87th session in May 2010.The MSC had previously agreed that the Code as it was adopted in 2002 would be mandatory as from 1 January 2004. The Code as amended by Amendment 35-10 is mandatory as from 1 January 2012 but may be applied by administrations in whole or in part on a voluntary basis from 1 January 2011.The Code lays down basic principles: detailed recommendations for individual substances, materials and articles, and a number of recommendations for good operational practice, including advice on terminology, packing, labelling, stowage, segregation and handling, and emergency response action.The two-volume Code is divided into seven parts:Volume 1 (parts 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 and 7 of the Code) contains sections on:- general provisions, definitions, training- classification- packing and tank provisions- consignment procedures- construction and testing of packagings, IBCs, large packagings, portable tanks, MEGCs and road tank vehicles - transport operations.Volume 2 contains part 3 (Dangerous Goods List, special provisions and exceptions), appendix A (generic and N.O.S. Proper Shipping Names), appendix B (Glossary of terms) and an index.IH210E - IMDG Code Supplement, 2010 EditionThe International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code relates to the safe carriage of dangerous goods by sea, but does not include all details of procedures for packing of dangerous goods or actions to take in the event of an emergency or accident involving personnel who handle goods at sea. These aspects are covered bythe publications that are associated with the IMDG Code, which are included in this Supplement.Within a continuing process of revision of publications that are relevant to the IMDG Code, The EmS Guide: Emergency Response Procedures for Ships Carrying Dangerous Goods was further amended at theeighty-seventh session of MSC in May 2010, and the details are described in MSC.1/Circ.1360. Also at the eighty-seventh session of MSC, Revised Recommendations on the safe use of pesticides in ships and Revised Recommendations on the safe use of pesticides in ships applicable to the fumigation of cargo transport units were approved.The Supplement also includes texts of the Medical First Aid Guide, descriptions of the reporting procedures for incidents involving dangerous goods, harmful substances and/or marine pollutants, the IMO/ILO/UNECE Guidelines for packing of cargo transport units, the International Code for the Safe Carriage of Packaged Irradiated Nuclear Fuel, Plutonium and High-Level Radioactive Wastes on board Ships and other appropriate Assembly resolutions, resolutions and circulars of the Maritime Safety Committee and circulars of the Facilitation Committee and of the Sub-Committee on Dangerous Goods, Solid Cargoes and Containers.Note: The IMO/ILO/UNECE Guidelines for packing of cargo transport units are currently under review and have not yet been updated to reflect, where necessary, recent changes in the IMDG Code. Users of the Guidelines should refer to chapters 5.2 and 5.3 of the IMDG Code for the correct labels, placards, marks and signs.I240E - International Grain Code, 1991 EditionThe Maritime Safety Committee, at its 59th session (May 1991), adopted a new International Grain Code. This replaced the original chapter VI of the 1974 SOLAS Convention, which contained detailed regulations on the carriage of grain in bulk, with more general requirements and placed the detailed provisions on grain in a separate mandatory code.20 September 2012.

EBU Technical Recommendation R49-1993Page 1 of 3EBU Technical Recommendation R49-1993 Tape alignment leader for the exchange of television programmesEBU Committee First issued Revised Re-issued PMC19881993Keywords:Video recording – B/CAn alignment leader for use on tapes for the exchange of television programmes with monophonic sound is described in ITU-R Recommendation BR.469, Table 2 [1] and ITU-R Recommendation BR.778, Table 1 [2].An alignment leader for use on tapes for the exchange of television programmes with stereophonic sound is described in ITU-R Recommendation BR.469, Table 3 and ITU-R Recommendation BR.778, Table 2.The sound signals on this leader have the following features:-By the use of 3 s of continuous tone, the level of each recorded track can be aligned using normal PPM or VU meters.-The use of interrupted tone on the left track of a stereo pair allows the easy identification of stereophonic programmes from monophonic ones.-The use of coherent tone on both tracks of a stereo pair allows easy checking of the mutual phase.-The signals can be generated manually if only needed occasionally.The EBU recommends that its Members use the appropriate leader described in these ITU-R documents on tapes for the exchange of television programmes containing monophonic and stereophonic sound.For completeness, the information on the leaders given in the tables in ITU-R Recommendation BR. 469 and Recommendation BR.778 is included as Tables 1 and 2 of the appendix to this document.Newer formats of television recorders have more than two audio tracks and it is recognised that many organizations may chose to use the extra tracks or track pairs for special purposes, e.g. multiple languages [3][4]. Because of the varied requirements, it is not possible to lay down a detailed recommendation covering these uses. However in these cases it is permitted to use tones of different frequencies to identify either the different monophonic tracks or stereo pairs used for different purposes. For the MAIN programme track, if monophonic, or tracks, if stereophonic, the frequency of 1 kHz should always be used, conforming to ITU-R Recommendations BR.469 and BR.778. It is very important that details of such use is included on the accompanying documentation when a programme tape is exchanged.Bibliography[1] ITU-R Recommendation BR.469-6: Analogue composite television tape recording.
