上个世纪60年代,韩国电影迅速崛起,然而很快便陷入停滞状态,直到90年代以后,韩国电影又重新进入繁盛时期。

在这个时期,韩国电影在数量上并没有大幅的增长,但多部电影的观影人数达到了上千万人次。

1996年,韩国本土电影的市场占有量只有23.1%。

但是到了1998年,市场占有量增长到35。

8%,到2001年更是达到了50%。

虽然从1996年开始,韩国电影一直处在不断上升的过程中,但是直到1999年姜帝圭导演的《生死谍变》的成功才诞生了韩国电影的又一个高峰。

虽然《生死谍变》创造了韩国电影史上的最高电影票房纪录,但是1999年以后最高票房纪录几乎每年都会被刷新。

当人们都在津津乐道所谓的“韩国大片”时,2000年朴赞郁导演的《共同警备区JSA》和2001年郭暻泽导演的《朋友》均成功刷新了韩国电影最高票房纪录.2003年康佑硕导演的《实尾岛》和2004年姜帝圭导演的又一部力作《太极旗飘扬》开创了观影人数上千万人次的时代。

姜帝圭和康佑硕导演在韩国电影票房史上扮演了十分重要的角色。

从1993年的《特警冤家》到2003年的《实尾岛》,康佑硕导演了多部成功的电影。

外文翻译器

外文翻译器

外文翻译器外文翻译器外文翻译器(Machine Translation)是指使用计算机等技术对外文进行自动翻译的工具。

它利用计算机语言处理、人工智能和语言学等多个领域的知识和技术,将源语言(外文)自动转化为目标语言(母语)的过程。

外文翻译器可以帮助人们快速准确地将外文内容转化为自己熟悉的语言,提高工作效率和信息获取能力。

外文翻译器的研究和发展始于上世纪40年代,最早采用的是基于规则的翻译方法,即根据语法规则和词汇库对源语言进行分析和转换。

然而,这种方法存在很多限制,因为语法和词汇库可能无法覆盖所有的语言特点和用法,导致翻译结果不准确和不流畅。

随着计算机技术和人工智能的发展,神经网络机器翻译(Neural Network Translation)成为外文翻译器的主流方法。

这种方法利用大规模平行语料库训练神经网络模型,通过模仿人类学习语言的方式自动学习源语言和目标语言之间的映射关系。

神经网络机器翻译能够更好地处理语法结构和上下文信息,翻译结果更加准确和自然。

除了神经网络机器翻译,外文翻译器还可以采用统计机器翻译(Statistical Machine Translation)等其他方法。

统计机器翻译利用大量的双语语料进行统计分析,找到最佳的翻译候选,然后根据概率模型对其进行排序和选择。

虽然统计机器翻译在一定程度上改善了翻译质量,但由于依赖于大量的语料库,对于某些语言和领域的翻译效果仍然不理想。

当前外文翻译器的发展已经进入了深度学习时代,融合了自然语言处理、深度学习和人工智能的多种技术手段。

深度学习通过建立多层神经网络模型,能够从大规模语料中自动学习和提取特征,进一步提升了翻译质量和效率。

此外,人工智能的发展还带来了一系列辅助工具,如术语提取、句子结构分析和语音识别等,能够进一步提高翻译的准确性和流畅度。

虽然外文翻译器在很大程度上改善了翻译效率和准确性,但由于语言本身的复杂性和多义性,完全依靠机器翻译仍然存在一些局限性。

2. WHAT CONSTITUTES FAIR DEALINGWEINBERGER v. UOP, INC.457 A.2d 701 (Del.Supr.19a3).MOORE, JUSTICE.This post-trial appeal was reheard en banc from a decision of the Court of Chancery. It was brought by the class action plaintiff below, a former shareholder of UOP, Inc., who challenged the elimination of UOP's minority shareholders by a cash-out merger between UOP and its majority owner, The Signal Companies, Inc. Originally, the defendants in this action were Signal, UOP, certain officers and directors of those companies, and UOP's investment banker, Lehman Brothers Kuhn Loeb, Inc. The present Chancellor held that the terms of the merger were fair to the plaintiff and the other minority shareholders of UOP. Accordingly, he entered judgment in favor of the defendants.Numerous points were raised by the parties, but we address only the following questions presented by the trial court's opinion:1) The plaintiffs duty to plead sufficient facts demonstrating the unfairness of the challenged merger;2) The burden of proof upon the parties where the merger has been approved by the purportedly informed vote of a majority of the minority shareholders;3) The fairness of the merger in terms of adequacy of the defendants' disclosures to the minority shareholders;4) The fairness of the merger in terms of adequacy of the price paid for the minority shares and the remedy appropriate to that issue; and5) The continued force and effect of Singer v. Magnavox Co., Del.Supr., 380 A.2d 969, 980 (1977), and its progeny.In ruling for the defendants, the Chancellor re-stated his earlier conclusion that the plaintiff in a suit challenging a cash-out merger must allege specific acts of fraud, misrepresentation or other items of misconduct to demonstrate the unfairness of the merger terms to the minority. We approve this rule and affirm it.The Chancellor also held that even though the ultimate burden of proof is on the majority shareholder to show by a preponderance of the evidence that the transaction is fair, it is first the burden of the plaintiff attacking the merger to demonstrate some basis for invoking the fairness obligation. We agree with that principle. However, where corporate action has been approved by an informed vote of a majority of the minority shareholders, we conclude that the burden entirely shifts ^ to the plaintiff to show that the transaction was unfair to the minority^- But in all this, the burden clearly remains on those relying on the vote to show that they completely disclosed all material facts relevant to the transaction.Here, the record does not support a conclusion that the minority stockholder vote was an informed one. Material information, necessary to acquaint those shareholders with the bargaining positions of Signal and UOP, was withheld under circumstances amounting to a breach of fiduciary duty. We therefore conclude that this merger does not meet the test of fairness, at least as we address that concept, and no burden thus shifted to the plaintiff by reason of the minority shareholder vote. Accordingly, we reverse and remand for further proceedings consistent herewith.In considering the nature of the remedy available under our law to minority shareholders in a cash-out merger, we believe that it is, and hereafter should be, an appraisal under 8 Del.C. § 262 as hereinafter construed. We therefore overrule Lynch v. Vickers Energy Corp., Del. Supr., 429 A.2d 497 (1981) {Lynch II) to the extent that it purports to limit a stockholder's monetary relief to a specific damage formula. But to give full effect to section 262 within the framework of the General Corporation Law we adopt a more liberal, less rigid and stylized, approach to the valuation process than has heretofore been permitted by our courts. While the present state of these proceedings does not admit the plaintiff to the appraisal remedy per se, the practical effect of the remedy we do grant him will be co-extensive with the liberalized valuation and appraisal methods we herein approve for cases coming after this decision.Our treatment of these matters has necessarily led us to a reconsideration of the business purpose rule announced in the trilogy of Singer A v. Magnavox Co., supra; Tanzer v. International General Industries, JT > Inc., DeL.Supr., 379 A.2d 1121 (1977); and Roland International Corp. v. Najjar, Del.Supr., 407 A.2d 1032 (1979). For the reasons hereafter set forth we consider that the business purpose requirement of these cases v J is no longer the law of Delaware.The facts found by the trial court, pertinent to the issues before us, are supported by the record, and we draw from them as set out in the Chancellor's opinion.Signal is a diversified, technically based company operating through various subsidiaries. Its stock is publicly traded on the New York, Philadelphia and Pacific Stock Exchanges. UOP, formerly known as Universal Oil Products Company, was a diversified industrial company engaged in various lines of business, including petroleum and petro-chemical services and related products, construction, fabricated metal products, transportation equipment products, chemicals and plastics, and other products and services including land development, lumber products and waste disposal. Its stock was publicly held and listed on the New York Stock Exchange.In 1974 Signal sold one of its wholly-owned subsidiaries for $420,000,000 in cash. See Gimbel v. Signal Companies, Inc., Del.Ch., 316 A.2d 599, aff’d, Del.Supr., 316 A.2d 619 (1974). While looking to invest this cash surplus, Signal became interested in UOP as a possible acquisition. Friendly negotiations ensued, and Signal proposed to acquire a controlling interest in UOP at a price of $19 per share. UOP's representatives sought $25 per share. In the arm's length bargaining that followed, an understanding was reached whereby Signal agreed to purchase from UOP 1,500,000 shares of UOP's authorized but unissued stock at $21 per share.This purchase was contingent upon Signal^ making a successful cash tender offer for 4,300,000 publicly held shares of UOP, also at a price of $21 per share. This combined method of acquisition permitted Signal to acquire 5,800,000 shares of stock, representing 50.5% of UOP's outstanding shares. The UOP board of directors advised the company's shareholders that it had no objection to Signal's tender offer at that price. Immediately before the announcement of the tender offer, UOP's common stock had been trading on the New York Stock Exchange at a fraction under $14 per share.The negotiations between Signal and UOP occurred during April 1975, and the resulting tender offer was greatly oversubscribed. However, Signal limited its total purchase of the tendered shares so that, when coupled with the stock bought from UOP, it had achieved its goalof becoming a 50.5% shareholderAlthough UOP’ board consisted of thirteen directors, Signal nominated and elected only six. Of these, five were either directors or employees of Signal. The sixth, a partner in the banking firm of Lazard Freres & Co., had been one of Signal's representatives in the negotiations and bargaining with UOP concerning the tender offer and purchase price of the UOP shares.However, the president and chief executive officer of UOP retired during 1975, and Signal caused him to be replaced by James V. Crawford, a long-time employee and senior executive vice president of one of Signal's wholly-owned subsidiaries. Crawford succeeded his predecessor on UOP's board of directors and also was made a director of Signal.By the end of 1977 Signal basically was unsuccessful in finding other suitable investment candidates for its excess cash, and by February 1978 considered that it had no other realistic acquisitions available to it on a friendly basis. Once again its attention turned to UOP.The trial court found that at the instigation of certain Signal management personnel, including William W. Walkup, its board chairman, and Forrest N. Shumway, its president, a feasibility study was made concerning the possible acquisition of the balance of UOP's outstanding shares. This study was performed by two Signal officers, Charles S. Arledge, vice president (director of planning), and Andrew J. Chitiea, senior vice president (chief financial officer). Messrs. Walkup, Shumway, Arledge and Chitiea were all directors of UOP in addition to their membership on the Signal board.Arledge and Chitiea concluded that it would be a good investment for Signal to acquire the remaining 49.5% of UOP shares at any price up to $24 each. Their report was discussed between Walkup and Shumway who, along with Arledge, Chitiea and Brewster L. Arms, internal counsel for Signal, constituted Signal's senior management. In particular, they talked about the proper price to be paid if the acquisition was pursued, purportedly keeping in mind that as UOP's majority shareholder, Signal owed a fiduciary responsibility to both its own stockholders as well as to UOP's minority. It was ultimately agreed that a meeting of Signal's Executive Committee would be called to propose that Signal acquire the remaining outstanding stock of UOP through a cash-out merger in the range of $20 to $21 per share.The Executive Committee meeting was set for February 28, 1978. As a courtesy, UOP's president, Crawford, was invited to attend, although he was not a member of Signal's executive committee. On his arrival, and prior to the meeting, Crawford was asked to meet privately with Walkup and Shumway. He was then told of Signal's plan to acquire full ownership of UOP and was asked for his reaction to the proposed price range of $20 to $21 per share. Crawford said he thought such a price would be "generous", and that it was certainly one which should be submitted to UOP's minority shareholders for their ultimate consideration. He stated, however, that Signal's 100% ownership could cause internal problems at UOP. He believed that employees would have to be given some assurance of their future place in a fully- owned Signal subsidiary. Otherwise, he feared the departure of essential personnel. Also, many of UOP's key employees had stock option incentive programs which would be wiped out by a merger. Crawford therefore urged that some adjustment would have to be made, such as providing a comparable incentive in Signal's shares, if after the merger he was to maintain his quality of personnel and efficiency at UOP.Thus, Crawford voiced no objection to the $20 to $21 price range, nor did he suggest that Signal should consider paying more than $21 per share for the minority interests. Later, at the Executive Committee meeting the same factors were discussed, with Crawford repeating the position he earlier took with Walkup and Shumway. Also considered was the 1975 tender offer andthe fact that it had been greatly oversubscribed at $21 per share. For many reasons, Signal's manage¬ment concluded that the acquisition of UOP's minority shares provided the solution to a number of its business problems.Thus, it was the consensus that a price of $20 to $21 per share would be fair to both Signal and the minority shareholders of UOP. Signal's executive committee authorized its management "to negotiate" with UOP "for a cash acquisition of the minority ownership in UOP, Inc., with the intention of presenting a proposal to [Signal's] board of directors * * * on March 6, 1978". Immediately after this February 28, 1978 meeting, Signal issued a press release stating: The Signal Companies, Inc. and UOP, Inc. are conducting negotiations for the acquisition for cash by Signal of the 49.5 per cent of UOP which it does not presently own, announced Forrest N. Shumway, president and chief executive officer of Signal, and James V. Crawford, UOP president. Price and other terms of the proposed transaction have not y et been finalized and would be subject to approval of the boards of directors of Signal and UOP, scheduled to meet early next week, the stockholders of UOP and certain federal agencies.The announcement also referred to the fact that the closing price of UOP's common stock on that day was $14.50 per share.Two days later, on March 2, 1978, Signal issued a second press release stating that its management would recommend a price in the range of $20 to $21 per share for UOP's 49.5% minority interest. This announcement referred to Signal's earlier statement that "negotiations" were being conducted for the acquisition of the minority shares.Between Tuesday, February 28, 1978 and Monday, March 6,1978, a total of four business days, Crawford spoke by telephone with all of UOP's non-Signal, i.e., outside, directors. Also during that period, Crawford retained Lehman Brothers to render a fairness opinion as to the price offered the minority for its stock. He gave two reasons for this choice. First, the time schedule between the announcement and the board meetings was short (by then only three business days) and since Lehman Brothers had been acting as UOP's investment banker for many years, Crawford felt that it would be in the best position to respond on such brief notice. Second, James W. Glanville, a long-time director of UOP and a partner in Lehman Brothers, had acted as a financial advisor to UOP for many years. Crawford believed that Glanville's familiarity with UOP, as a member of its board, would also be of assistance in enabling Lehman Brothers to render a fairness opinion within the existing time constraints.Crawford telephoned Glanville, who gave his assurance that Lehman Brothers had no conflicts that would prevent it from accepting the task. Glanville's immediate personal reaction was that a price of $20 to $21 would certainly be fair, since it represented almost a 50% premium over UOP's market price. Glanville sought a $250,000 fee for Lehman Brothers' services, but Crawford thought this too much. After further discussions Glanville finally agreed that Lehman Brothers would render its fairness opinion for $150,000.During this period Crawford also had several telephone contacts with Signal officials. In only one of them, however, was the price of the shares discussed. In a conversation with Walkup, Crawford advised that as a result of his communications with UOP's non-Signal directors, it was his feeling that the price would have to be the top of the proposed range, or $21 per share, if the approval of UOP's outside directors was to be obtained. But again, he did not seek any price higher than $21.Glanville assembled a three-man Lehman Brothers team to do the work on the fairness opinion. These persons examined relevant documents and information concerning UOP, including its annual reports and its Securities and Exchange Commission filings from 1973 through 1976, as well as its audited financial statements for 1977, its interim reports to shareholders, and its recent and historical market prices and trading volumes. In addition, on Friday, March 3, 1978, two members of the Lehman Brothers team flew to UOP's headquarters in Des Plaines, Illinois, to perform a "due diligence" visit, during the course of which they interviewed Crawford as well as UOP's general counsel, its chief financial officer, and other key executives and personnel.As a result, the Lehman Brothers team concluded that "the price of either $20 or $21 would be a fair price for the remaining shares of UOP". They telephoned this impression to Glanville, who was spending the weekend in Vermont.On Monday morning, March 6, 1978, Glanville and the senior member of the Lehman Brothers team flew to Des Plaines to attend the scheduled UOP directors meeting. Glanville looked over the assembled information during the flight. The two had with them the draft of a "fairness opinion letter" in which the price had been left blank. Either during or immediately prior to the directors' meeting, the two-page "fairness opinion letter" was typed in final form and the price of $21 per share was inserted.On March 6, 1978, both the Signal and UOP boards were convened to consider the proposed merger. Telephone communications were maintained between the two meetings. Walkup, Signal's board chairman, and also a UOP director, attended UOP's meeting with Crawford in order to present Signal's position and answer any questions that UOP's non-Signal directors might have. Arledge and Chitiea, along with Signal's other designees on UOP's board, participated by conference telephone. All of UOP's outside directors attended the meeting either in person or by conference telephone.First, Signal's board unanimously adopted a resolution authorizing Signal to propose to UOP a cash merger of $21 per share as outlined in a certain merger agreement, and other supporting documents. This proposal required that the merger be approved by a majority of UOP's outstanding minority shares voting at the stockholders meeting at which the merger would be considered, and that the minority shares voting in favor of the merger, when coupled with Signal's 50.5% interest would have to comprise at least two-thirds of all UOP shares. Otherwise the proposed merger would be deemed disapproved.UOP's board then considered the proposal. Copies of the agreement were delivered to the directors in attendance, and other copies had been forwarded earlier to the directors participating by telephone. They also had before them UOP financial data for 1974-1977, UOP's most recent financial statements, market price information, and budget projections for 1978. In addition they had Lehman Brothers' hurriedly prepared fairness opinion letter finding the price of $21 to be fair. Glanville, the Lehman Brothers partner, and UOP director, commented on the information that had gone into preparation of the letter.Signal also suggests that the Arledge-Chitiea feasibility study, indicating that a price of up to $24 per share would be a "good investment" for Signal, was discussed at the UOP directors' meeting. The Chancellor made no such finding, and our independent review of the record, detailed infra, satisfies us by a preponderance of the evidence that there was no discussion of this document at UOP's board meeting. Furthermore, it is clear beyond peradventure that nothing in that report was ever disclosed to UOP's minority shareholders prior to their approval of themerger.After consideration of Signal's proposal, Walkup and Crawford left the meeting to permit a free and uninhibited exchange between UOP's non-Signal directors. Upon their return a resolution to accept Signal's offer was then proposed and adopted. While Signal's men on UOP's board participated in various aspects of the meeting, they abstained from voting. However, the minutes show that each of them "if voting would have voted yes".On March 7, 1978, UOP sent a letter to its shareholders advising them of the action taken by UOP's board with respect to Signal's offer. This document pointed out, among other things, that on February 28, 1978 "both companies had announced negotiations were being conducted".Despite the swift board action of the two companies, the merger was not submitted to UOP's shareholders until their annual meeting on May 26, 1978. In the notice of that meeting and proxy statement sent to shareholders in May, UOP's management and board urged that the merger be approved. The proxy statement also advised:The price was determined after discussions between James V. Crawford, a director of Signal and Chief Executive Officer of UOP, and officers of Signal which took place during meetings on February 28, 1978, and in the course of several subsequent telephone conversations. (Emphasis added.)In the original draft of the proxy statement the word "negotiations" had been used rather than "discussions". However, when the Securities and Exchange Commission sought details of the "negotiations" as part of its review of these materials, the term was deleted and the word "discussions" was substituted. The proxy statement indicated that the vote of UOP's board in approving the merger had been unanimous. It also advised the shareholders that Lehman Brothers had given its opinion that the merger price of $21 per share was fair to UOP's minority. However, it did not disclose the hurried method by which this conclusion was reached.As of the record date of UOP's annual meeting, there were 11,488,302 shares of UOP common stock outstanding, 5,688,302 of which were owned by the minority. At the meeting only 56%, or 3,208,652, of the minority shares were voted. Of these, 2,953,812, or 51.9% of the total minority, voted for the merger, and 254,840 voted against it. When Signal's stock was added to the minority shares voting in favor, a total of 76.2% of UOP's outstanding shares approved the merger while only 2.2% opposed it.By its terms the merger became effective on May 26, 1978, and each share of UOP's stock held by the minority was automatically converted into a right to receive $21 cash.II.A.A primary issue mandating reversal is the preparation by two UOP directors, Arledge and Chitiea, of their feasibility study for the exclusive use and benefit of Signal. This document was of obvious significance to both Signal and UOP. Using UOP data, it described the advantages to Signal of ousting the minority at a price range of $21-$24 per share. Mr. Arledge, one of the authors, outlined the benefits to Signal:Purpose Of The Merger1) Provides an outstanding investment opportunity for Signal—(Better than any recent acquisition we have seen.)2) Increases Signal's earnings.3) Facilitates the flow of resources between Signal and its subsidiaries(Big factor—works both ways.)4) Provides cost savings potential for Signal and UOP.5) Improves the percentage of Signal's 'operating earnings' as opposed to 'holding company earnings'.6) Simplifies the understanding of Signal.7) Facilitates technological exchange among Signal's subsidiaries.8) Eliminates potential conflicts of interest.Having written those words, solely for the use of Signal it is clear from the record that neither Arledge nor Chitiea shared this report with their fellow directors of UOP. We are satisfied that no one else did either. This conduct hardly meets the fiduciary standards applicable to such a transaction * * *The Arledge-Chitiea report speaks for itself in supporting the Chancellor's finding that a price of up to $24 was a "good investment" for Signal. It shows that a return on the investment at $21 would be 15.7% versus 15.5% at $24 per share. This was a difference of only two-tenths of one percent, while it meant over $17,000,000 to the minority. Under such circumstances, paying UOP's minority shareholders $24 would have had relatively little long-term effect on Signal, and the Chancellor's findings concerning the benefit to Signal, even at a price of $24, were obviously correct. Levitt v. Bouvier, Del.Supr., 287 A.2d 671, 673 (1972).Certainly, this was a matter of material significance to UOP and its shareholders. Since the study was prepared by two UOP directors, using UOP information for the exclusive benefit of Signal, and nothing whatever was done to disclose it to the outside UOP directors or the minority shareholders, a question of breach of fiduciary duty arises. This problem occurs because there were common Signal-UOP directors participating, at least to some extent, in the UOP board's decision making processes without full disclosure of the conflicts they faced.7B.In assessing this situation, the Court of Chancery was required to:examine what information defendants had and to measure it against what they gave to the minority stockholders, in a context in which 'complete candor' is required. In other words, the limited function of the Court was to determine whether defendants had disclosed all information in their possession germane to the transaction in issue. And by 'germane' we mean, for present purposes, information such as a reasonable shareholder would consider important. in Priding whether. to sell or retain stock.* * ** * * Completeness, not adequacy, is both the norm and the mandate under present circumstances. Lynch v. Vickers Energy Corp., Del.Supr., 383 A.2d 278, 281 (1977) (Lynch /). This is merely stating in another way the long-existing principle of Delaware law that these Signal designated directors on UOP's board still owed UOP and its shareholders an uncompromising duty of loyalty. The classic language of Guth v. Loft, Inc., Del.Supr., 5 A.2d 503, 510 (1939), requires no embellishment:A public policy, existing through the years, and derived from a profound knowledge of human characteristics and motives, has established a rule that demands of a corporate officer or director, peremptorily and inexorably, the most scrupulous observance of his duty, not only affirmatively to protect the interests of the corporation committed to his charge, but also to refrainfrom doing anything that would work injury to the corporation, or to deprive it of. profit or advantage which his skill and ability might properly bring to it, or to enable it to make in the reasonable and lawful exercise of its powers. The rule that requires an undivided and unselfish loyalty to the corporation demands that there shall be no conflict between duty and self-interest. Given the absence of any attempt to structure this transaction on an arm's length basis, Signal cannot escape the effects of the conflicts it faced, particularly when its designees on UOP's board did not totally abstain from participation in the matter. There is no "safe harbor" for such divided loyalties in Delaware. When directors of a Delaware ^ corporation are on both sides of a transaction, they are required to demonstrate their utmost good faith and the most scrupulous inherent P fairness of the bargain. Gottlieb v. Heyden Chemical Corp., Del.Supr., 91 A.2d 57, 57-58 (1952). The requirement of fairness is unflinching in v rP y demand that where one stands on both sides of a transaction, he has the burden of establishing its entire fairness, sufficient to pass the test of careful scrutiny by the courts. Sterling v. Mayflower Hotel Corp., N, Del.Supr., 93 A.2d 107, 110 (1952); Bastian v. Bourns, Inc., Del.Ch., 256 A.2d 680, 681 (1969), aff’d, Del.Supr., 278 A.2d 467 (1970); David J. Greene & Co. v. Dunhill International Inc., Del.Ch., 249 A.2d 427, 431 (1968).There is no dilution of this obligation where one holds dual or multiple directorships, as in a parent-subsidiary context. Levien v. Sinclair Oil Corp., Del.Ch., 261 A.2d 911, 915 (1969). Thus, individuals who act in a dual capacity as directors of two corporations, one of whom is parent and the other subsidiary, owe the same duty of good management to both corporations, and in the absence of an independent negotiating structure (see note 7, supra), or the directors' total abstention from any participation in the matter, this duty is to be exercised in light of what is best for both companies. Warshaw v. Calhoun, Del. Supr., 221 A.2d 487, 492 (1966). The record demonstrates that Signal has not met this obligation.。

construct generalized polygons(‘parking garages’)in which the billiard flow satisfies the Veech dichotomy,although the associated translation surface obtained from the Zemlyakov–Katok unfolding is not a lattice surface.We also explain the difficulties in constructing a genuine polygon with these properties.Keywords Active vitamin D·Parathyroid hormone-related peptide·Translation surfaces·Parking garages·Veech dichotomy·BilliardsMathematics Subject Classification(2000)37E351Introduction and statement of resultsA parking garage is an immersion h:N→R2,where N is a two dimensional compact connected manifold with boundary,and h(∂N)is afinite union of linear segments.A parking garage is called rational if the group generated by the linear parts of the reflections in the boundary segments isfinite.If h is actually an embedding,the parking garage is a polygon; thus polygons form a subset of parking garages,and rationals polygons(i.e.polygons all of whose angles are rational multiples ofπ)form a subset of rational parking garages.The dynamics of the billiardflow in a rational polygon has been intensively studied for over a century;see[7]for an early example,and[5,10,13,16]for recent surveys.The defi-nition of the billiardflow on a polygon readily extends to a parking garage:on the interior of N the billiardflow is the geodesicflow on the unit tangent bundle of N(with respect to the pullback of the Euclidean metric)and at the boundary,theflow is defined by elastic reflection (angle of incidence equals the angle of return).Theflow is undefined at thefinitely many M.Cohen·B.Weiss(B)Ben Gurion University,84105Be’er Sheva,Israele-mail:barakw@math.bgu.ac.ilM.Cohene-mail:comei@bgu.ac.ilpoints of N which map to‘corners’,i.e.endpoints of boundary segments,and hence at thecountable union of codimension1submanifolds corresponding to points in the unit tangentbundle for which the corresponding geodesics eventually arrive at corners in positive or neg-ative time.Since the direction of motion of a trajectory changes at a boundary segment viaa reflection in its side,for rational parking garages,onlyfinitely many directions of motionare assumed.In other words,the phase space of the billiardflow decomposes into invarianttwo-dimensional subsets corresponding tofixing the directions of motion.Veech[12]discovered that the billiardflow in some special polygons exhibits a strikingly he found polygons for which,in any initial direction,theflow is eithercompletely periodic(all orbits are periodic),or uniquely ergodic(all orbits are equidistrib-uted).Following McMullen we will say that a polygon with these properties has optimaldynamics.We briefly summarize Veech’s strategy of proof.A standard unfolding construc-tion usually attributed to Zemlyakov and Katok[15]1,associates to any rational polygon Pa translation surface M P,such that the billiardflow on P is essentially equivalent to thestraightlineflow on M P.Associated with any translation surface M is a Fuchsian group M,now known as the Veech group of M,which is typically trivial.Veech found M and P forwhich this group is a non-arithmetic lattice in SL2(R).We will call these lattice surfaces and lattice polygons respectively.Veech investigated the SL2(R)-action on the moduli space of translation surfaces,and building on earlier work of Masur,showed that lattice surfaces haveoptimal dynamics.From this it follows that lattice polygons have optimal dynamics.This chain of reasoning remains valid if one starts with a parking garage instead of apolygon;namely,the unfolding construction associates a translation surface to a parkinggarage,and one may define a lattice parking garage in an analogous way.The arguments ofVeech then show that the billiardflow in a lattice parking garage has optimal dynamics.Thisgeneralization is not vacuous:lattice parking garages,which are not polygons,were recentlydiscovered by Bouw and Möller[2].The term‘parking garage’was coined by Möller.A natural question is whether Veech’s result admits a converse,i.e.whether non-latticepolygons or parking garages may also have optimal dynamics.In[11],Smillie and the sec-ond-named author showed that there are non-lattice translation surfaces which have optimaldynamics.However translation surfaces arising from billiards form a set of measure zero inthe moduli space of translation surfaces,and it was not clear whether the examples of[11]arise from polygons or parking garages.In this paper we show:Theorem1.1There are non-lattice parking garages with optimal dynamics.An example of such a parking garage is shown in Fig.1.Veech’s work shows that for lattice polygons,the directions in which all orbits are periodicare precisely those containing a saddle connection,i.e.a billiard path connecting corners ofthe polygon which unfold to singularities of the corresponding surface.Following Cheunget al.[3],if a polygon P has optimal dynamics,and the periodic directions coincide with thedirections of saddle connections,we will say that P satisfies strict ergodicity and topologicaldichotomy.It is not clear to us whether our example satisfies this stronger property.As weexplain in Remark3.2below,this would follow if it were known that the center of the regularn-gon is a‘connection point’in the sense of Gutkin,Hubert and Schmidt[8]for some nwhich is an odd multiple of3.Veech also showed that for a lattice polygon P,the number N P(T)of periodic strips on P of length at most T satisfies a quadratic growth estimate of the form N P(T)∼cT2for a positive constant c.As we explain in Remark3.3,our examples also satisfy such a quadratic growth estimate.1But dating back at least to Fox and Kershner[7].Fig.1A non-lattice parkinggarage with optimal dynamics.(Here 2/n represents angle 2π/n )It remains an open question whether there is a genuine polygon which has optimal dynam-ics and is not a lattice polygon.Although our results make it seem likely that such a polygon exists,in her M.Sc.thesis [4],the first-named author obtained severe restrictions on such a polygon.In particular she showed that there are no such polygons which may be constructed from any of the currently known lattice examples via the covering construction as in [11,13].We explain these results and prove a representative special case in §4.2PreliminariesIn this section we cite some results which we will need,and deduce simple consequences.For the sake of brevity we will refer the reader to [10,11,16]for definitions of translation surfaces.Suppose S 1,S 2are compact orientable surfaces and π:S 2→S 1is a branched cover.That is,πis continuous and surjective,and there is a finite 1⊂S 1,called the set of branch points ,such that for 2=π−1( 1),the restriction of πto S 2 2is a covering map of finite degree d ,and for any p ∈ 1,#π−1(p )<d .A ramification point is a point q ∈ 2for which there is a neighborhood U such that {q }=U ∩π−1(π(q ))and for all u ∈U {q },# U ∩π−1(π(u )) ≥2.If M 1,M 2are translation surfaces,a translation map is a surjective map M 2→M 1which is a translation in charts.It is a branched cover.In contrast to other authors (cf.[8,13]),we do not require that the set of branch points be distinct from the singularities of M 1,or that they be marked.It is clear that the ramification points of the cover are singularities on M 2.If M is a lattice surface,a point p ∈M is called periodic if its orbit under the group of affine automorphisms of M is finite.A point p ∈M is called a connection point if any seg-ment joining a singularity with p is contained in a saddle connection (i.e.a segment joining singularities)on M .The following proposition summarizes results discussed in [7,9–11]:Proposition 2.1(a)A non-minimal direction on a translation surface contains a saddle connection.(b)If M 1is a lattice surface,M 2→M 1is translation map with a unique branch point,then any minimal direction on M 2is uniquely ergodic.(c)If M2→M1is a translation map such that M1is a lattice surface,then all branchpoints are periodic if and only if M2is a lattice surface.(d)If M2→M1is a translation map with a unique branch point,such that M1is a latticesurface and the branch point is a connection point,then any saddle connection direction on M2is periodic.Corollary2.2Let M2→M1be a translation map such that M1is a lattice surface with a unique branch point p.Then:(1)M2has optimal dynamics.(2)If p is a connection point then M2satisfies topological dichotomy and strict ergodicity.(3)If p is not a periodic point then M2is not a lattice surface.Proof To prove(1),by(b),the minimal directions are uniquely ergodic,and we need to prove that the remaining directions are either completely periodic or uniquely ergodic. By(a),in any non-minimal direction on M2there is a saddle connectionδ,and there are three possibilities:(i)δprojects to a saddle connection on M1.(ii)δprojects to a geodesic segment connecting the branch point p to itself.(iii)δprojects to a geodesic segment connecting p to a singularity.In case(i)and(ii)since M1is a lattice surface,the direction is periodic on M1,hence on M2as well.In case(iii),there are two subcases:ifδprojects to a part of a saddle connec-tion on M1,then it is also a periodic direction.Otherwise,in light of Proposition2.1(a),the direction must be minimal in M1,and hence,by Proposition2.1(b),uniquely ergodic in M2. This proves(1).Note also that if p is a connection point then the last subcase does not arise, so all directions which are non-minimal on M2are periodic.This proves(2).Statement(3) follows from(c).We now describe the unfolding construction[7,15],extended to parking garages.Let P=(h:N→R2).An edge of P is a connected subset L of∂N such that h(L)is a straight segment and L is maximal with these properties(with respect to inclusion).A vertex of P is any point which is an endpoint of an edge.The angle at a vertex is the total interior angle, measured via the pullback of the Euclidean metric,at the vertex.By convention we always choose the positive angles.Note that for polygons,angles are less than2π,but for parking garages there is no apriori upper bound on the angle at a vertex.Since our parking garages are rational,all angles are rational multiples ofπ,and we always write them as p/q,omitting πfrom the notation.Let G P be the dihedral group generated by the linear parts of reflections in h(L),for all edges L.For the sake of brevity,if there is a reflection with linear part gfixing a line parallel to L,we will say that gfixes L.Let S be the topological space obtained from N×G P by identifying(x,g1)with(x,g2)whenever g−11g2fixes an edge containing h(x).Topologically S is a compact orientable surface,and the immersions g◦h on each N×{g}induce an atlas of charts to R2which endows S with a translation surface structure.We denote this translation surface by M P,and writeπP for the map N×G P→M P.We will be interested in a‘partial unfolding’which is a variant of this construction,in which we reflect a parking garage repeatedly around several of its edges to form a larger parking garage.Formally,suppose P=(h:N→R2)and Q=(h :N →R2)are parking garages.For ≥1,we say that P tiles Q by reflections,and that is the number of tiles,if the following holds.There are maps h 1,...h :N→N and g1,...,g ∈G P(not necessarily distinct)satisfying:(A)The h i are homeomorphisms onto their images,and N = h i (N ).(B)For each i ,the linear part of h ◦h i ◦h −1is everywhere equal to g i .(C)For each 1≤i <j ≤ ,let L i j =h i (N )∩h j (N )and L =(h i )−1(L i j ).Then (h j )−1◦h i is the identity on L ,and L is either empty,or a vertex,or an edge of P .If L is an edge then h i (N )∪h j (N )is a neighborhood of L i j.If L i j is a vertex then there is a finite set of i =i 1,i 2,...,i k =j such that h i s (N )contains a neighborhood of L i j ,and each consecutive pair h i t (N ),h i t +1(N )intersect along an edge containing L i j .V orobets [13]realized that a tiling of parking garages gives rise to a branched cover.More precisely:Proposition 2.3Suppose P tiles Q by reflections with tiles,M P ,M Q are the correspond-ing translation surfaces obtained via the unfolding construction,and G P ,G Q are the cor-responding reflection groups.Then there is a translation map M Q →M P ,such that the following hold:(1)G Q ⊂G P .(2)The branch points are contained in the G P -orbit of the vertices of P .(3)The degree of the cover is [G P :G Q ].(4)Let z ∈M P be a point which is represented (as an element of N ×{1,...,r })by(x ,k )with x a vertex in P with angle m n (where gcd (m ,n )=1).Let (y i )⊂M Q be the pre-images of z,with angles k i m n in Q .Then z is a branch point of the cover if and only if k i n for some i.Proof Assertion (1)follows from the fact that Q is tiled by P .Since this will be impor-tant in the sequel,we will describe the covering map M Q →M P in detail.We will map (x ,g )∈N ×G Q to πP (x ,gg i )∈M P ,where x =h i (x ).We now check that this map is independent of the choice of x ,i ,and descends to a well-defined map M Q →M P ,which is a translation in charts.If x =h i (x 1)=h j (x 2)then x 1=x 2since (h i )−1◦h j is the identity.If x is in the relative interior of an edge L i j thenπP (x ,gg i )=πP (x ,gg j )(1)since (gg i )−1gg j =g −1i g j fixes an edge containing h (x 1).If x 1is a vertex of P then one proves (1)by an induction on k ,where k is as in (C).This shows that the map is well-defined.We now show that it descends to a map M Q →M P .Suppose (x ,g ),(x ,g )are two points in N ×G Q which are identified in M Q ,i.e.x ∈∂N is in the relative interior of an edge fixed by g −1g .By (C)there is a unique i such that x is in the image of h i .Thus (x ,g )maps to (x ,gg i )and (x ,g )maps to (x ,g g i ),and g −1i g −1g g i fixes the edge through x =g −1i (x ).It remains to show that the map we have defined is a translation in charts.This follows immediately from the chain rule and (B).Assertion (2)is simple and left to the reader.For assertion (3)we note that M P (resp.M Q )is made of |G P |(resp. |G Q |)copies of P .The point z will be a branch point if and only if the total angle around z ∈M P differs from the total angle around one of the pre-images y i ∈M Q .The total angle at a singularity corresponding to a vertex with angle r /s (where gcd (r ,s )=1)is 2r π,thus the total angle at z is 2m πand the total angle at y i is 2k i m πgcd (k i ,n ).Assertion (4)follows.3Non-lattice dynamically optimal parking garagesIn this section we prove the following result,which immediately implies Theorem1.1: Theorem3.1Let n≥9be an odd number divisible by3,and let P be an isosceles triangle with equal angles1/n.Let Q be the parking garage made of four copies of P glued as in Fig.1, so that Q has vertices(in cyclic order)with angles1/n,2/n,3/n,(n−2)/n,2/n,3(n−2)/n. Then M P is a lattice surface and M Q→M P is a translation map with one aperiodic branchpoint.In particular Q is a non-lattice parking garage with optimal dynamics.Proof The translation surface M P is the double n-gon,one of Veech’s original examples of lattice surfaces[12].The groups G P and G Q are both equal to the dihedral group D n.Thus by Proposition2.3,the degree of the cover M Q→M P is four.Again by Proposition2.3, since n is odd and divisible by3,the only vertices which correspond to branch points are the two vertices z1,z2with angle2/n(they correspond to the case k i=2while the other vertices correspond to1or3).In the surface M P there are two points which correspond to vertices of equal angle in P(the centers of the two n-gons),and these points are known to be aperiodic [9].We need to check that z1and z2both map to the same point in M P.This follows from the fact that both are opposite the vertex z3with angle3/n,which also corresponds to the center of an n-gon,so in M P project to a point which is distinct from z3. Remark3.2As of this writing,it is not known whether the center of the regular n-gon is a connection point on the double n-gon surface.If this turns out to be the case for some n which is an odd multiple of3,then by Corollary2.2(2),our construction satisfies strict ergodicity and topological dichotomy.See[1]for some recent related results.Remark3.3Since our examples are obtained by taking branched covers over lattice surfaces, a theorem of Eskin et al.[6,Thm.8.12]shows that our examples also satisfy a quadratic growth estimate of the form N P(T)∼cT2;moreover§9of[6]explains how one may explicitly compute the constant c.4Non-lattice optimal polygons are hard tofindIn this section we present results indicating that the above considerations will not easily yield a non-lattice polygon with optimal dynamics.Isolating the properties necessary for our proof of Theorem3.1,we say that a pair of polygons(P,Q)is suitable if the following hold:•P is a lattice polygon.•P tiles Q by reflections.•The corresponding cover M Q→M P as in Proposition2.3has a unique branch point which is aperiodic.In her M.Sc.thesis at Ben Gurion University,thefirst-named author conducted an exten-sive search for a suitable pair of polygons.By Corollary2.2,such a pair will have yielded a non-lattice polygon with optimal dynamics.The search begins with a list of candidates for P,i.e.a list of currently known lattice polygons.At present,due to work of many authors, there is a fairly large list of known lattice polygons but there is no classification of all lattice polygons.In[4],the full list of lattice polygons known as of this writing is given,and the following is proved:Theorem4.1(M.Cohen)Among the list of lattice surfaces given in[4],there is no P for which there is Q such that(P,Q)is a suitable pair.The proof of Theorem4.1contains a detailed case-by-case analysis for each of the differ-ent possible P.These cases involve some common arguments which we will illustrate in this section,by proving the special case in which P is any of the obtuse triangles investigated byWard[14]:Theorem4.2For n≥4,let P=P n be the(lattice)triangle with angles1n,12n,2n−32n.Then there is no polygon Q for which(P,Q)is a suitable pair.Our proof relies on some auxiliary statements which are of independent interest.In all of them,M Q→M P is the branched cover with unique branch point corresponding to a suitable pair(P,Q).These statements are also valid in the more general case in which P,Q are parking garages.Recall that an affine automorphism of a translation surface is a homeomorphism which is linear in charts.We denote by Aff(M)the group of affine automorphisms of M and by D:Aff(M)→GL2(R)the homomorphism mapping an affine automorphism to its linear part.Note that we allow orientation-reversing affine automorphisms,i.e.detϕmay be1 or−1.We now explain how G P acts on M P by translation equivalence.LetπP:N×G P→M P and S be as in the discussion preceding Proposition2.3,and let g∈G P.Since the left action of g on G is a permutation and preserves the gluing ruleπP,the map N×G P→N×G P sending(x,g )to(x,g−1g )induces a homeomorphismϕ:S→S and g◦h◦ϕis a translation in charts.Thus g∈G P gives a translation isomorphism of M P,and similarly g∈G P gives a translation isomorphism of M Q.Lemma4.3The branch point of the cover p:M Q→M P isfixed by G Q.Proof Since G Q⊂G P,any g∈G Q induces translation isomorphisms of both M P and M Q.We denote both by g.The definition of p given in thefirst paragraph of the proof of Proposition2.3shows that p◦g=g◦p;namely both maps are induced by sending (x ,g )∈N ×G Q toπP(x,gg g i),where x =h i(x).Since the cover p has a unique branch point,any g∈G Q mustfix it. Lemma4.4If an affine automorphismϕof a translation surface has infinitely manyfixed points then Dϕfixes a nonzero vector,in its linear action on R2.Proof Suppose by contradiction that the linear action of Dϕon the plane has zero as a uniquefixed point,and let Fϕbe the set offixed points forϕ.For any x∈Fϕwhich is not a singularity,there is a chart from a neighborhood U x of x to R2with x→0,and a smaller neighborhood V x⊂U x,such thatϕ(V x)⊂U x and when expressed in this chart,ϕ|V x is given by the linear action of Dϕon the plane.In particular x is the onlyfixed point in V x. Similarly,if x∈Fϕis a singularity,then there is a neighborhood U x of x which maps to R2 via afinite branched cover ramified at x→0,such that the action ofϕin V x⊂U x covers the linear action of Dϕ.Again we see that x is the onlyfixed point in V x.By compactness wefind that Fϕisfinite,contrary to hypothesis. Lemma4.5Suppose M is a lattice surface andϕ∈Aff(M)has Dϕ=−Id.Then afixed point forϕis periodic.Proof LetF1={σ∈Aff(M):Dσ=−Id}.Thenϕ∈F1and F1isfinite,since it is a coset for the group ker D which is known to be finite.Let A⊂M be the set of points which arefixed by someσ∈F1.By Lemma4.4this is afinite set,which contains thefixed points forϕ.Thus in order to prove the Lemma,it suffices to show that A is Aff(M)-invariant.Letψ∈Aff(M),and let x∈A,so that x=σ(x)with Dσ=−Id.Since-Id is central in GL2(R),D(σψ)=D(ψσ),so there is f∈ker D such thatψσ=fσψ.Thereforeψ(x)=ψσ(x)=fσψ(x),and fσ∈F1.This proves thatψ(x)∈A.Remark4.6This improves Theorem10of[8],where a similar conclusion is obtained under the additional assumptions that M is hyperelliptic and Aff(M)is generated by elliptic ele-ments.The following are immediate consequences:Corollary4.7Suppose(P,Q)is a suitable pair.Then•−Id/∈D(G Q).•None of the angles between two edges of Q are of the form p/q with gcd(p,q)=1and q even.Proof of Theorem4.2We will suppose that Q is such that(P,Q)are a suitable pair and reach a contradiction.If n is even,then Aff(M P)contains a rotation byπwhichfixes the points in M P coming from vertices of P.Thus by Lemma4.5all vertices of P give rise to periodic points,contradicting Proposition2.1(c).So n must be odd.Let x1,x2,x3be the vertices of P with corresponding angles1/n,1/2n,(2n−3)/2n. Then x3gives rise to a singularity,hence a periodic point.Also using Lemma4.5and the rotation byπ,one sees that x2also gives rise to a periodic point.So the unique branch point must correspond to the vertex x1.The images of the vertex x1in P give rise to two regular points in M P,marked c1,c2in Fig.2.Any element of G P acts on{c1,c2}by a permutation, so by Lemma4.3,G Q must be contained in the subgroup of index twofixing both of the c i. Let e1be the edge of P opposite x1.Since the reflection in e1,or any edge which is an image of e1under G P,swaps the c i,we have:e1is not a boundary edge of Q.(2) We now claim that in Q,any vertex which corresponds to the vertex x3from P is alwaysdoubled,i.e.consists of an angle of(2n−3)/n.Indeed,for any polygon P0,the group G P0 is the dihedral group D N where N is the least common multiple of the denominators of theangles at vertices of P0.In particular it contains-Id when N is even.Writing(2n−3)/2n in reduced form we have an even denominator,and since,by Corollary4.7,−Id/∈G Q,in Q the angle at vertex x3must be multiplied by an even integer2k.Since2k(2n−3)/2n is bigger than2if k>1,and since the total angle at a vertex of a polygon is less than2π,we must have k=1,i.e.any vertex in Q corresponding to the vertex x3is always doubled.This establishes the claim.It is here that we have used the assumption that Q is a polygon and not a parking garage.Fig.2Ward’s surface,n=5Fig.3Two options to start the construction ofQThere are two possible configurations in which a vertex x3is doubled,as shown in Fig.3. The bold lines indicate lines which are external,i.e.boundary edges of Q.By(2),the con-figuration on the right cannot occur.Let us denote the polygon on the left hand side of Fig.3by Q0.It cannot be equal to Q,since it is a lattice polygon.We now enlarge Q0by adding copies of P step by step,as described in Fig.4.Without loss of generality wefirst add triangle number1.By(2),the broken line indicates a side which must be internal in Q.Therefore,we add triangle number 2.We denote the resulting polygon by Q1.One can check by computing angles,using thefact that n is odd,and using Proposition2.3(4)that the cover M Q1→M P will branch overthe points a corresponding to vertex x2.Since the allowed branching is only over the points corresponding to x1,we must have Q1 Q,so we continue the construction.Without loss of generality we add triangle number3.Again,by(2),the broken line indicates a side which must be internal in Q.Therefore,we add triangle number4,obtaining Q2.Now,using Prop-osition2.3(4)again,in the cover M Q2→M P we have branching over two vertices u andv which are both of type x1and correspond to distinct points c1and c2in M P.This implies Q2 Q.Fig.4Steps of the construction of QSince both vertices u and v are delimited by2external sides,we cannot change the angle to prevent the branching over one of these points.This means that no matter how we continue to construct Q,the branching in the cover M Q→M P will occur over at least two points—a contradiction.Acknowledgments We are grateful to Yitwah Cheung and Patrick Hooper for helpful discussions,and to the referee for a careful reading and helpful remarks which improved the presentation.This research was supported by the Israel Science Foundation and the Binational Science Foundation.References1.Arnoux,P.,Schmidt,T.:Veech surfaces with non-periodic directions in the tracefield.J.Mod.Dyn.3(4),611–629(2009)2.Bouw,I.,Möller,M.:Teichmüller curves,triangle groups,and Lyapunov exponents.Ann.Math.172,139–185(2010)3.Cheung,Y.,Hubert,P.,Masur,H.:Topological dichotomy and strict ergodicity for translation surfaces.Ergod.Theory Dyn.Syst.28,1729–1748(2008)4.Cohen,M.:Looking for a Billiard Table which is not a Lattice Polygon but satisfies the Veech dichotomy,M.Sc.thesis,Ben-Gurion University(2010)/pdf/1011.32175.DeMarco,L.:The conformal geometry of billiards.Bull.AMS48(1),33–52(2011)6.Eskin,A.,Marklof,J.,Morris,D.:Unipotentflows on the space of branched covers of Veech surfaces.Ergod.Theorm Dyn.Syst.26(1),129–162(2006)7.Fox,R.H.,Kershner,R.B.:Concerning the transitive properties of geodesics on a rational polyhe-dron.Duke Math.J.2(1),147–150(1936)8.Gutkin,E.,Hubert,P.,Schmidt,T.:Affine diffeomorphisms of translation surfaces:Periodic points,Fuchsian groups,and arithmeticity.Ann.Sci.École Norm.Sup.(4)36,847–866(2003)9.Hubert,P.,Schmidt,T.:Infinitely generated Veech groups.Duke Math.J.123(1),49–69(2004)10.Masur,H.,Tabachnikov,S.:Rational billiards andflat structures.In:Handbook of dynamical systems,vol.1A,pp.1015–1089.North-Holland,Amsterdam(2002)11.Smillie,J.,Weiss,B.:Veech dichotomy and the lattice property.Ergod.Theorm.Dyn.Syst.28,1959–1972(2008)Geom Dedicata12.Veech,W.A.:Teichmüller curves in moduli space,Eisenstein series and an application to triangularbilliards.Invent.Math.97,553–583(1989)13.V orobets,Y.:Planar structures and billiards in rational polygons:the Veech alternative.(Russian);trans-lation in Russian Math.Surveys51(5),779–817(1996)14.Ward,C.C.:Calculation of Fuchsian groups associated to billiards in a rational triangle.Ergod.TheoryDyn.Syst.18,1019–1042(1998)15.Zemlyakov,A.,Katok,A.:Topological transitivity of billiards in polygons,Math.Notes USSR Acad.Sci:18:2291–300(1975).(English translation in Math.Notes18:2760–764)16.Zorich,A.:Flat surfaces.In:Cartier,P.,Julia,B.,Moussa,P.,Vanhove,P.(eds.)Frontiers in numbertheory,physics and geometry,Springer,Berlin(2006)123。

Hotel Management System IntegrationServices1.IntroductionIt is generally accepted that the role of the web services in businesses is undoubtedly important. More and more commercial software systems extend their capability and power by using web services technology. Today the e-commerce is not merely using internet to transfer business data or supporting people to interact with dynamic web page, but are fundamentally changed by web services. The World Wide Web Consortium's Xtensible Markup Language (XML) and the Xtensible Stylesheet Language (XSL) are standards defined in the interest of multi-purpose publishing and content reuse and are increasingly being deployed in the construction of web services. Since XML is looked as the canonical message format, it could tie together thousands of systems programmed by hundreds of programming languages. Any program can be mapped into web service, while any web service can also be mapped into program. In this paper, we present a next generation commercial system in hotel industry that fully integrates the hotel Front Office system, Property Management System, Customer Relationship Management System, Quality Management system, Back Office system and Central Reservations System distributed in different locations. And we found that this system greatly improves both the hotel customer and hotel officer’s experiences in the hotel business work flow. Because current technologies are quite mature, it seems no difficulty to integrate the existing system and the new coming systems (for example, web-based applications or mobile applications). However, currently in hotel industry there are few truly integrated systems used because there are so many heterogeneous systems already exist and scalability, maintenance, price, security issues then become huge to be overcome. From our study on Group Hotel Integration Reservation System (GHIRS), there are still challenges to integrate Enterprise Information System (EIS), Enterprise Information Portal system (EIP), Customer Relationship Management system (CRM) and Supply Chain Management system (SCM) together because of standardization, security and scalability problems, although GHIRS is one of few integration solutions to add or expand hotel software system in any size of hotel chains environment.We developed this system to integrate the business flow of hotel management by using webservices and software integration technologies. In this paper, firstly we describe a scenario of hotel reservation and discuss the interaction between GHIRS and human. Secondly we analyze details of design and implementation of this system. The result and implications of the studies on the development of GHIRS are shown in the later part. Finally we discuss some problems still need to be improved and possible future directions of development.2. Hotel Reservation: A Business Case StudyOur initial thinking to develop GHIRS is to minimize the human interaction with the system. Since GHIRS is flexible and automated, it offers clear benefits for both hotel customers and hotel staff, especially for group hotel customers and group hotel companies. Group hotel companies usually have lots of hotels, restaurants, resorts, theme parks or casinos in different locations. For example, Shangri-La group has hundreds of hotels in different countries all over the world. These groups have certain customers who prefer to consume in hotels belong to the same group because they are membership of the group and can have individual services.The first step of a scenario of hotel reservation is that the consumer plans and looks for a hotel according the location, price or whatever his criteria and then decides the hotel. Then he makes a reservation by telephone, fax, internet, or mail, or just through his travel agent. When hotel staff receives the request, they first look if they can provide available services. If there is enough resource in the hotel, they prepare the room, catering and transportation for the request and send back acknowledgement. At last the guest arrives and checks in. The business flow is quite simple; however, to accomplish all these tasks is burdensome for both the consumer side and the hotel side without an efficient and integrated hotel management system.Telephone may be a good way to make a reservation because it is beyond the limit of time and space. Guests can call hotels at any time and any place. However, it costs much when the hotel is far away from the city where guest lives; especially the hotel locates in a different country. Moreover, if there is a group of four or five people to make reservation together, it would take a long time for hotel staff to record all the information they need. Making reservation by travel agent saves consumers’ time and cost, but there is still millions of work for agent to do. They gather the requirements from consumers, then distribute to proper destination hotels. Becausethese hotels don’t use a same system (these thousand s of hotels may use hundreds of management systems), someone, agent or hotel staff, must face the problem how to handle information from different sources with different hotel management systems to different destinations.Web service becomes the tool to solve these problems. Our web services integrate the web server and hotel management system together, and everyone gets benefit. Booking a room easily anywhere and anytime becomes possible by using GHIRS. Consumer browses websites and finds hotel using his PC, PDA or mobile phone (W AP supported), after his identity is accepted, he can book a reservation. Two minutes later he can get the acknowledgement from the hotel by mobile phone text message or multimedia message, or email sent to his email account or just acknowledgement on the dynamic web page, if he hasn’t leave the website. The response time may take a little longer because when the hotel receives the quest, in some circumstance, hotel staff should check if there is clean and vacant room left. The web service is a standard interface that all travel agents can handle, gather and distribute the reservation information easily through internet. When the reservation request is acknowledged, hotel staff prepares the room, catering, and transportation for guests. Since the information already stored in the database, every part in the hotel chains can share it and work together properly. For example, staff in front office and housekeeping department can prepare room for guests according to the data, staff in back office can stock material for catering purpose and hotel manager can check business report in Enterprise Information Portal integrated with GHIRS by his browser. Then room rent-ratio reports, room status reports, daily income reports and other real time business reports are generated. Managers of the group can access any report of any hotel by the system. In the later part of this paper, we will show how consumers, agents, and hotel staff can efficiently work together by GHIRS.GHIRS is scalable for small-to-large hotel chains and management companies, especially good for hotel group. It truly soars with seamless connectivity to global distribution systems thereby offering worldwide reservation access. It also delivers real-time, on line reservations via the Internet.3. Integration of Hotel Management SystemGHIRS is developed on the base of an existed hotel management system called FoxhisTM.FoxhisTM shares the largest part of software market in hotel industry in China. FoxhisTM version 5 has distributed Client/Server architecture that the server runs SCO-UNIX and client runs Microsoft Windows and it use Sybase database on UNIX. The system includes Front Office system, Property Management system, Quality Management system, Human Resource Management system, Enterprise Information Portal system (EIP), Customer Relationship Management system (CRM) and Supply Chain Management system (SCM).This system is largely based on intranet environment. Most of the work is done in a single hotel by the hotel staff. It’s no customer self-service. If a consumer wants to book a room, hotel staff in local hotel must help the guest to record his request, although FoxhisTM system already done lots of automatic job.When the systems are deployed in different hotels that are parts of a group, sharing data becomes a problem. Just as an example, if the group has ten hotels, there would be at least ten local databases to store the consumers’ data. Because hotels need real time respond of the system, so these ten hotels can’t deploy a central database that does not locate in the same local network. Thus one guest may have different records in different hotels and the information cannot be shared. By web services as an interface, these data can be exchanged easily.Recall that our initial thinking to deploy GHIRS is to save hotel staff, travel agents and consumers’labor work the system is to link all the taches of hotel business chains. Figure1 shows how consumers, agents, hotel staff cooperate together efficiently with the system.Consumers could be divided into two categories. One is member of hotel group, who holds different classes of memberships and gains benefits like discount or special offers. These consumers usually contribute a lar ge part of the hotel’s profit then are looked as VIP. The hotel keeps their profiles, preferences and membership account status. The other category is common guest. All these two kinds of guests and travel agents who may trade with many other hotels face the web-based interface that let them to make a reservation. For common guest, the system just requires him to input reservation information such as guest name, contact information, arrival and departure the system. The central processing server then distributes the information to appropriate hotel. Since web services technology is so good for submitting documents to long running business process flows, hotel staff could easily handle this data in andout of database management system and application server. As the membership of hotel, a user just inputs his member id and password, room information, arrival and departure date, then finish the request. Because hotels keep members’ profile, and systems exchange profile across all hotels of the group by web serv ices, hotel staff in different hotels could know the guest’s individual requirement and provide better services.The agents work for consumers get benefits from GHIRS as well. They may also keep the consumers’ profile and the web services interface is op en to them, it is easy to bridge their system to hotel management system. Before GHIRS is deployed, the agents should separate and process the reservation data and distribute them to different hotels, which is an onerous job. But now the agents could just press one button and all the hotel reservation is sent to destination.Hotel staff receives all request from different sources. Some policies are applied to response the request. For example, some very important guest’s request is passed automatically wi thout confirmation, the guest could get acknowledgement in very short time. The request triggers all chains of the hotel business flow and all the preparation work is done before his arrival. But for the common customer, hotel staff would check on the anticipate date if there is vacant and clean rooms available. Because all the FoxhisTM components are integrated together, staff users needn’t change computer interface to check he room status. If it is a valid request with enough guests’ information and there is enough room left, a confirmation is sent back. If there is not enough vacant room, hotel staff will ask if guest would like to wait a time or transfer to other hotels in the hotel group or alliance hotels. In order to transfer guest’s request, data flow s from local database to the central server through local web server, then it is passed to another hotels database by web services interface.Today there are lots of platforms that could provide capabilities to integrate different system and offer other features such as security and work load balancing. The two main commercial products are Java2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) and . They offer pretty much the same laundry of list of features, albeit in different ways. We choose .NET platform as our programming environment, however, here we don’t advocate which platform is better or not. Our target is to integrate these decentralized and distributed systems together. In fact, both of these platforms support XML and SOAP to accomplish our task.We use Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) as web server and Sybase databaseserver. The firewalls separate the local networks from the public networks. This is very important from the security point of view. Each hotel of the group has a database server, an application server and a web server to deploy this multi-tier system that includes the user interface presentation tier, business presentation tier, business logical tier, and the data access tier. C# is adopted as the programming language for the core executable part. XML is the data exchange standard format.From:/link?url=u5PQlr59n0dA VI-V09htSseEFFmyLzwI5P7AR42ULwI7 okjG08MmwqYRvV_LbVYnj6XcxiEVbS5xlTpOhidIDdIrYo-h_3dU-v7QNgTtmMm酒店管理系统集成服务1.简介人们普遍认为,网络服务角色在企业中无疑是重要的。

附录C:外文翻译资料Article Source:Business & Commercial Aviation, Nov 20, 2000. 5-87-88 Interactive Electronic Technical Manuals Electronic publications can increase the efficiency of your digital aircraft and analogtechnicians.Benoff, DaveComputerized technical manuals are silently revolutionizing the aircraft maintenance industry by helping the technician isolate problems quickly, and in the process reduce downtime and costs by more than 10 percent.These electronic publications can reduce the numerous volumes of maintenance manuals, microfiche and work cards that are used to maintain engines, airframes, avionics and their associated components."As compared with the paper manuals, electronic publications give us greater detail and reduced research times," said Chuck Fredrickson, general manager of Mercury Air Center in Fort Wayne, Ind.With all the advances in computer hardware and software technologies, such as high quality digital multimedia, hypertext and the capability to store and transmit digital multimedia via CD-ROMs/ networks, technical publication companies have found an effective, cost-efficient method to disseminate data to technicians.The solution for many operators and OEMs is to take advantage of today's technology in the form of Electronic Technical Manuals (ETM) or Interactive Technical Manuals (IETM). An ETM is any technical manual prepared in digital format that has the ability to be displayed using any electronic hardware media. The difference between the types of ETM/IETMs is the embedded functionality and implementation of the data."The only drawback we had to using ETMs was getting enough computers to meet our technicians' demand," said Walter Berchtold, vice president of maintenance at Jet Aviation's West Palm Beach, Fla., facility.A growing concern is the cost to print paper publications. In an effort to reduce costs, some aircraft manufacturers are offering incentives for owners to switch from paper to electronic publications. With an average printing cost of around 10 cents per page, a typical volume of a paper technical manual can cost the manufacturer over $800 for each copy. When producing a publication electronically, average production costs for a complete set of aircraft manuals are approximately $20 per copy. It is not hard to see the cost advantages of electronic publications.Another advantage of ETMs is the ease of updating information. With a paper copy, the manufacturer has to reprint the revised pages and mail copies to all the owners. When updates are necessary for an electronic manual, changes can either be e-mailed to theowners or downloaded from the manufacturer's Web site.So why haven't more flight departments converted their publications to ETM/IETMs? The answer lies in convincing technicians that electronic publications can increase their efficiency."We had an initial learning curve when the technicians switched over, but now that they are familiar with the software they never want to go back to paper," said Fredrickson.A large majority of corporate technicians also said that while they like the concept of having a tool that aids the troubleshooting process, they are fearful to give up all of their marked-up paper manuals.In 1987, a human factors study was conducted by the U.S. government to compare technician troubleshooting effectiveness, between paper and electronic methodology, and included expert troubleshooting procedures with guidance through the events. Results of the project indicated that technicians using electronic media took less than half the time to complete their tasks than those using the paper method, and technicians using the electronic method accomplished 65 percent more in that reduced time.The report also noted that new technicians using the electronic technical manuals were 12-percent more efficient than the older, more experienced technicians. (Novices using paper took 15 percent longer than the experts.)It is interesting that 90 percent of the technicians who used the electronic manuals said they preferred them to the paper versions. This proved to the industry that with proper training, the older technicians could easily transition from paper to electronic media.Electronic publications are not a new concept, although how they are applied today is. "Research over the last 20 years has provided a solid foundation for today's IETM implementation," said Joseph Fuller of the U.S. Naval Surface Warfare Center. "IETMs such as those for the Apache, Comanche, F-22, JSTAR and V-22 have progressed from concept to military and commercial implementation."In the late 1970s, the U.S. military investigated the feasibility of converting existing paper and microfilm. The Navy Technical Information Presentation System (NTIPS) and the Air Force Computer- based Maintenance Aid System (CMAS) were implemented with significant cost savings.The report stated that transition to electronic publications resulted in reductions in corrective maintenance time, fewer false removals of good components, more accurate and complete maintenance data collection reports, reduction in training requirements and reduced system downtime.The problem that the military encountered was ETMs were created in multiple levels of complexity with little to no standardization. Options for publications range from simple page-turning programs to full-functioning automated databases.This resulted in the classification of ETMs so that the best type of electronic publication could be selected for the proper application.Choosing a LevelWith all of the OEM and second- and third-party electronic publications that are available it is important that you choose the application level that is appropriate for your operation.John J. Miller, BAE Systems' manager of electronic publications, told B/CAthat "When choosing the level of an ETM/IETM, things like complexity of the aircraft and its systems, ease of use, currency of data and commonality of data should be the deciding factors; and, of course, price. If operational and support costs are reduced when you purchase a full-functioning IETM, then you should purchase the better system."Miller is an expert on the production, sustainment and emerging technologies associated with electronic publications, and was the manager of publications for Boeing in Philadelphia.Electronic publications are classified in one of five categories. A Class 1 publication is a basic electronic "page turner" that allows you to view the maintenance manual as it was printed. With a Class 2 publication all the original text of the manual is viewed as one continuous page with no page breaks. In Class 3, 4 and 5 publications the maintenance manual is viewed on a computer in a frame-based environment with increasing options as the class changes. (See sidebar.)Choosing the appropriate ETM for your operation is typically limited to whatever is being offered on the market, but since 1991 human factors reports state the demand has increased and, therefore, options are expected to follow.ETM/IETM ProvidersCompanies that create ETM/IETMs are classified as either OEM or second party provider. Class 1, 3 and 4 ETM/IETMs are the most commonly used electronic publications for business and commercial operators and costs can range anywhere from $100 to $3,000 for each ETM/ IETM. The following are just a few examples ofETM/IETMs that are available on the market.Dassault Falcon Jet offers operatorsof the Falcon 50/50EX, 900/900EX and 2000 a Class 4 IETM called the Falcon Integrated Electronic Library by Dassault (FIELD). Produced in conjunction with Sogitec Industries in Suresnes Cedex, France, the electronic publication contains service documentation, basic wiring, recommended maintenance and TBO schedules, maintenance manual, tools manual, service bulletins, maintenance and repair manual, and avionics manual.The FIELD software allows the user to view the procedures and hot- link directly to the Illustrated parts catalog. The software also enables the user to generate discrepancy forms, quotation sheets, annotations in the manual and specific preferences for each user.BAE's Miller said most of the IETM presentation systems have features called "Technical Notes." If a user of the electronic publication notices a discrepancy or needs to annotate the manual for future troubleshooting, the user can add a Tech Note (an electronic mark-up) to the step or procedure and save it to the base document. The next time that or another user is in the procedure, clicking on the tech note icon launches a pop-up screen displaying the previous technician's comments. The same electronic transfer of tech notes can be sent to other devices by using either a docking station or through a network server. In addition, systems also can use "personal notes" similar to technical notes that are assigned ID codes that only the authoring technician can access.Requirements for the FIELD software include the minimum of a 16X CD-ROM drive,Pentium II 200 MHz computer, Windows 95, Internet Explorer 4 SP 1 and Database Access V3.5 or higher.Raytheon offers owners of Beech and Hawker aircraft a Class 4 IETM called Raytheon Electronic Publication Systems (REPS). The REPS software links the frame-based procedures with the parts catalog using a single CD-ROM.Raytheon Aircraft Technical Publications said other in- production Raytheon aircraft manual sets will be converted to the REPS format, with the goal of having all of them available by 2001. In addition Raytheon offers select Component Maintenance Manuals (CMM). The Class 1 ETM is a stand-alone "page-turner" electronic manual that utilizes the PDF format of Adobe Acrobat.Other manufacturers including Bombardier, Cessna and Gulfstream offer operators similar online and PDF documentation using a customer- accessed Web account.Boeing is one manufacturer that has developed an onboard Class 5 IETM. Called the Computerized Fault Reporting System (CFRS), it has replaced the F-15 U.S. Air Force Fault Reporting Manuals. Technologies that are currently being applied to Boeing's military system are expected to eventually become a part of the corporate environment.The CFRS system determines re-portable faults by analyzing information entered during a comprehensive aircrew debrief along with electronically recovered maintenance data from the Data Transfer Module (DTM). After debrief the technicians can review aircraft faults and schedule maintenance work to be performed. The maintenance task is assigned a Job Control Number (JCN) and is forwarded electronically to the correct work center or shop. Appropriate information is provided to the Air Force's Core Automated Maintenance System (CAMS).When a fault is reported by pilot debrief, certain aircraft systems have the fault isolation procedural data on a Portable Maintenance Aid (PMA). The JCN is selected on a hardened laptop with a wireless Local Area Network (LAN) connection to the CFRS LAN infrastructure. The Digital Wiring Data System (DWDS) displays aircraft wiring diagrams to the maintenance technician for wiring fault isolation. On completion of maintenance, the data collected is provided to the Air Force, Boeing and vendors for system analysis.Third party IETM developers such as BAE Systems and Dayton T. Brown offer OEMs the ability to subcontract out the development of Class 1 through 5 ETM/IETMs. For example, Advantext, Inc. offers PDF and IPDF Class 1 ETMs for manufacturers such as Piper and Bell Helicopters. Technical publications that are available include maintenance manuals, parts catalogs, service bulletins, wiring diagrams, service letters and interactive parts ordering forms.The difference between the PDF and IPDF version is that the IPDF version has the ability to search for text and include hyperlinks. A Class 1 ETM, when printed, is an exact reproduction of the OEM manuals, including any misspellings or errors. Minimum requirements for the Advantext technical publications is a 486 processor, 16 MB RAM with 14 MB of free hard disk space and a 4X CD-ROM or better.Aircraft Technical Publishers (ATP) offers Class 1, 2 and 3 ETM/ IETMsfor the Beechjet 400/400A; King Air 300/ 350, 200 and 90; Learjet 23/24/25/28/29/35/36/55; Socata TB9/10/20/21 and TBM 700A; Sabreliner 265-65, -70 and -80; andBeech 1900. The libraries can include maintenance manuals, Illustrated parts bulletins, wiring manuals, Airworthiness Directives, Service Bulletins, component maintenance manuals and structural maintenance manuals. System minimum requirements are Pentium 133 MHz, Windows 95 with 16 MB RAM, 25 MB free hard disk space and a 4X CD-ROM or better.Additional providers such as Galaxy Scientific are providing ETM/ IETMs to the FAA. This Class 2, 3 and 4 publication browser is used to store, display and edit documentation for the Human Factors Section of the administration."Clearly IETMs have moved from research to reality," said Fuller, and the future looks to hold more promise.The Future of Tech PubsThe use of ETM/IETMs on laptop and desktop computers has led research and development corporations to investigate the human interface options to the computer. Elements that affect how a technician can interface with a computer are the work environment, economics and ease of use. Organizations such as the Office of Naval Research have focused their efforts on the following needs of technicians: -- Adaptability to the environment.-- Ease of use.-- Improved presentation of complex system relationship.-- Maximum reuse and distribution of engineering data.-- Intelligent data access.With these factors in mind, exploratory development has begun in the areas of computer vision, augmented reality display and speech recognition.Computer vision can be created using visual feedback from a head- mounted camera. The camera identifies the relative position and orientation of an object in an observed scene, and the object is used to correlate the object with a three-dimensional model. In order for a computer vision scenario to work, engineering data has to be provided through visually compatible software.When systems such as Sogitech's View Tech electronic publication browser and Dassault Systemes SA's Enovia are combined, a virtual 3D model is generated.The digital mockup allows the engineering information to directly update the technical publication information. If a system such as CATIA could be integrated into a Video Reference System (VRS), then it could be possible that a technician would point the camera to the aircraft component, the digital model identifies the component and the IETM automatically displays the appropriate information.This example of artificial intelligence is already under development at companies like Boeing and Dassault. An augmented reality display is a concept where visual cues are presented to users on a head-mounted, see-through display system.The cues are presented to the technician based on the identification of components on a 3D model and correlation with the observed screen. The cues are then presented as stereoscopic images projected onto the object in the observed scene.In addition a "Private Eye" system could provide a miniature display of the maintenance procedure that is provided from a palm- size computer. Limited success hascurrently been seen in similar systems for the disabled. The user of a Private Eye system can look at the object selected and navigate without ever having to touch the computer. Drawbacks from this type of system are mental and eye fatigue, and spatial disorientation.Out of all the technologies, speech recognition has developed into an almost usable and effective system. The progression through maintenance procedures is driven by speaker-independent recognition. A state engine controls navigation, and launches audio responses and visual cues to the user. Voice recognition software is available, although set up and use has not been extremely successful.Looking at other industries, industrial manufacturing has already started using "Palm Pilot" personal digital assistants (PDAs) to aid technicians in troubleshooting. These devices allow the technician to have the complete publication beside them when they are in tight spaces. "It would be nice to take the electronic publications into the aircraft, so we are not constantly going back to the work station to print out additional information," said Jet Aviation's Berchtold.With all the advantages that a ETM/ IETM offers it should be noted that electronic publications are not the right solution all of the time, just as CBT is not the right solution for training in every situation. Only you can determine if electronic publications meet your needs, and most technical publication providers offer demo copies for your review.

Increasing oxygen transfer inflow by stones placed in rivers was studied by Cokgor and Kucukali(2004.Growingfloating aquatic macrophytes(Sooknah and Wilkie,2004or terrestrial green plants usingfloating supports(Li and Wu,1997,physical ecological engineering(PEEN(Pu et al.,1998,and biotic addi-tives have also been applied(Chen,2003.However,these sim-ple designs do not constitute a real water treatment system and the efficiencies of these treatments are unsatisfactory.Activated sludge systems have been proved efficient treat-ing municipal sewage since the1960s(Ray,1995.However, this type of system has not been used for in situ remediation of polluted lakes or rivers.In the present study,the oxidation ditch technique was adopted on a lake receiving municipal sewage sludge.Floating green plants and the biofilms com-prisingfloating materials and plant roots were also added to enhance N and P removal.A pilot scale experiment was set up to test the feasibility and performance of the plant-enhanced oxidation ditch for in situ treatment ofboth the municipal sewage and the polluted lake water.2.Experimental2.1.Site descriptionThe study lake was situated at South China Agricultural Uni-versity,Guangzhou,China.The area of the lake was about 10000m2and the depth0.5–3m.This lake received the munic-ipal sewage from the residential area around the university.Fig.1–Surface arrangement of the plant-biofilm oxidation ditch and the waterflows.(1Wall of nylon tissue;(2nets of5mm;(3nets of0.25mm;(4oxidation ditch;(5jet-flow aerator;(6water pump;(7floating green plants;(8sewage entry.2.2.Establishment of the plant-biofilm oxidationditchesT wo24m2(width2m,length12mparallel oxidation ditches made of plastic materials were installed along the lake bank near the sewage inlet.The inner ditch was made of cement and the outer ditch was isolated with nylon tissues andfix-ing PVC(polyvinyl chloridetubes.Fig.1showsthe surface arrangement and the waterflow path.The coarse suspended solids in the influent werefiltered by two pl astic nets,one with a pore size of5mm and the other with a pore size of0.25mm,whereas the suspended solids in the effluent werefiltered by a plastic net with a pore size of 0.25mm.Zizania caduciflora and Canna generalis were grown in the ditch with theplast icfloating supporters which held the plants in position.Thefloating supporters were made of closed126e c o l o g i c a l e n g i n e e r i n g28(2006124–130PVC tubes and nylon nets and each was3.6m2.Zizania caduci-flora was grown on twofloating supporters an d Canna gener-alis on another two supporters.The plants were planted in four columns andfive lines.The twofloating supporters with Canna generalis were near the influent and the two with Zizania caduciflora were near the effluent.The entire disposal system is shown in Photo1.2.3.Conduct of the experimentsAn experiment was conductedfirstly on municipal sewage in autumn–winter seasons of2003–2004for about150days. The aeration of the oxidation ditch was achieved using a jet-flow aerator of0.75kW(Aqua Co.,Italy;air generation10m3/h, water jet rate22–28m3/h.The water sampling started on18 September2003and

sampled every3–5days at 08:00–09:00a.m.andat17:00–18:00p.m.,each with three sam-pling re plicates for thefirst run.For the second run,the influ-ent and effluent were sampled1day a week.The water sam-pler took0–30cm surface water.The samples were analyzed for COD Cr,BOD5,SS,TP,NO3−-N,NH4+-N and pH according to standard methods(APHA,1995.The plant s were transplanted ontofloating supporters two weeks before water sampling and thefirst harvest was carried out60days later and at the termination of thefirst run for the municipal sewage.The plant biomass and N and P con-tents were measured according to the methods proposed by the Soil and Agro-Chemical Analysis Committee of China(Lu, 2000.The total uptakes of N and P were calculated and com-pared with the total removal of these elements calculated by the cumulative removal each day following measurement of a water sample.Total N removal=(average N in influent−average N in effluent×48×D iwhere48was the treated water volume per day in

and P by green plants were almost negligi-ble compared to the total removal of these elements by the whole system (Table4.However,the plants may have cre-ated localized anaerobic conditions by their root exudates and dead biomass and enhance the denitrification of N by micro-organisms as occurs in constructed wetlands (Hone,2000.Besides the green plants,the proposed system also con-tains biofilm coated to the plastic materials.The high velocity of return-fluent was different to the conventional oxidation ditch.Kugaprasatham et al.(1982showed that the increase of the fluent velocity could increase the density of the biofilm if the nutrient conditions were suitable for bacteria growth.Simultaneous nitrification/denitrification (SND(Van Mun ch etal.,1996may also occur in the

The actual mechanisms still remain to be identified. The oxidation ditch has been used for many years worldwide as an economical and efficient wastewater treatment technology that can remove COD, nitrogen and a fraction of the phosphorusefficiently. Anaerobic tanks (Liu et al., 2002 and phased isolation ditch systems with intra-channel clarifier (Hong et al., 2003 were added to the system to increase the TP removal efficiency.

Conclusions The present study adapted the oxidation ditch on the lake surface for in situ treatment of municipal sewage or polluted lake water in combination with plant biofilms for performing N and P removal, and running experiments at pilot scale for about 1.5 years resulted in the following observations: (1 The system was quite satisfactory and stable for treatment of municipal sewage and polluted lake water in removing COD, NH4 + -N and P. (2 The direct uptake of N and P by plants was negligible in comparison with the totalremoval by the system, but indirect mechanisms via plant root exudates and biofilms merit further studies. (3 The proposed process could dramatically reduce the costs of sewage collection, the land-space requirement and the construction costs compared with conventional sewage treatment plants; might be suitable for treatment of both municipal sewage and polluted lake water; and could lead to the promotion of wastewater treatment in many developing countries.

外文文献翻译原文Analysis of Con tin uous Prestressed Concrete BeamsChris BurgoyneMarch 26, 20051、IntroductionThis conference is devoted to the development of structural analysis rather than the strength of materials, but the effective use of prestressed concrete relies on an appropriate combination of structural analysis techniques with knowledge of the material behaviour. Design of prestressed concrete structures is usually left to specialists; the unwary will either make mistakes or spend inordinate time trying to extract a solution from the various equations.There are a number of fundamental differences between the behaviour of prestressed concrete and that of other materials. Structures are not unstressed when unloaded; the design space of feasible solutions is totally bounded;in hyperstatic structures, various states of self-stress can be induced by altering the cable profile, and all of these factors get influenced by creep and thermal effects. How were these problems recognised and how have they been tackled?Ever since the development of reinforced concrete by Hennebique at the end of the 19th century (Cusack 1984), it was recognised that steel and concrete could be more effectively combined if the steel was pretensioned, putting the concrete into compression. Cracking could be reduced, if not prevented altogether, which would increase stiffness and improve durability. Early attempts all failed because the initial prestress soon vanished, leaving the structure to be- have as though it was reinforced; good descriptions of these attempts are given by Leonhardt (1964) and Abeles (1964).It was Freyssineti’s observations of the sagging of the shallow arches on three bridges that he had just completed in 1927 over the River Allier near Vichy which led directly to prestressed concrete (Freyssinet 1956). Only the bridge at Boutiron survived WWII (Fig 1). Hitherto, it had been assumed that concrete had a Young’s modulus which remained fixed, but he recognised that the de- ferred strains due to creep explained why the prestress had been lost in the early trials. Freyssinet (Fig. 2) also correctly reasoned that high tensile steel had to be used, so that some prestress would remain after the creep had occurred, and alsothat high quality concrete should be used, since this minimised the total amount of creep. The history of Freyssineti’s early prestressed concrete work is written elsewhereFigure1:Boutiron Bridge,Vic h yFigure 2: Eugen FreyssinetAt about the same time work was underway on creep at the BRE laboratory in England ((Glanville 1930) and (1933)). It is debatable which man should be given credit for the discovery of creep but Freyssinet clearly gets the credit for successfully using the knowledge to prestress concrete.There are still problems associated with understanding how prestressed concrete works, partly because there is more than one way of thinking about it. These different philosophies are to some extent contradictory, and certainly confusing to the young engineer. It is also reflected, to a certain extent, in the various codes of practice.Permissible stress design philosophy sees prestressed concrete as a way of avoiding cracking by eliminating tensile stresses; the objective is for sufficient compression to remain after creep losses. Untensionedreinforcement, which attracts prestress due to creep, is anathema. This philosophy derives directly from Freyssinet’s logic and is primarily a working stress concept.Ultimate strength philosophy sees prestressing as a way of utilising high tensile steel as reinforcement. High strength steels have high elastic strain capacity, which could not be utilised when used as reinforcement; if the steel is pretensioned, much of that strain capacity is taken out before bonding the steel to the concrete. Structures designed this way are normally designed to be in compression everywhere under permanent loads, but allowed to crack under high live load. The idea derives directly from the work of Dischinger (1936) and his work on the bridge at Aue in 1939 (Schonberg and Fichter 1939), as well as that of Finsterwalder (1939). It is primarily an ultimate load concept. The idea of partial prestressing derives from these ideas.The Load-Balancing philosophy, introduced by T.Y. Lin, uses prestressing to counter the effect of the permanent loads (Lin 1963). The sag of the cables causes an upward force on the beam, which counteracts the load on the beam. Clearly, only one load can be balanced, but if this is taken as the total dead weight, then under that load the beam will perceive only the net axial prestress and will have no tendency to creep up or down.These three philosophies all have their champions, and heated debates take place between them as to which is the most fundamental.2、Section designFrom the outset it was recognised that prestressed concrete has to be checked at both the working load and the ultimate load. For steel structures, and those made from reinforced concrete, there is a fairly direct relationship between the load capacity under an allowable stress design, and that at the ultimate load under an ultimate strength design. Older codes were based on permissible stresses at the working load; new codes use moment capacities at the ultimate load. Different load factors are used in the two codes, but a structure which passes one code is likely to be acceptable under the other.For prestressed concrete, those ideas do not hold, since the structure is highly stressed, even when unloaded. A small increase of load can cause some stress limits to be breached, while a large increase in load might be needed to cross other limits. The designer has considerable freedom to vary both the working load and ultimate load capacities independently; both need to be checked.A designer normally has to check the tensile and compressive stresses, in both the top and bottom fibre of the section, for every load case. The critical sections are normally, but not always, the mid-span and the sections over piers but other sections may become critical ,when the cable profile has to be determined.The stresses at any position are made up of three components, one of which normally has a different sign from the other two; consistency of sign convention is essential.If P is the prestressing force and e its eccentricity, A and Z are the area of the cross-section and its elastic section modulus, while M is the applied moment, then where ft and fc are the permissible stresses in tension and compression.c e t f ZM Z P A P f ≤-+≤Thus, for any combination of P and M , the designer already has four in- equalities to deal with.The prestressing force differs over time, due to creep losses, and a designer isusually faced with at least three combinations of prestressing force and moment;• the applied moment at the time the prestress is first applied, before creep losses occur,• the maximum applied moment after creep losses, and• the minimum applied moment after creep losses.Figure 4: Gustave MagnelOther combinations may be needed in more complex cases. There are at least twelve inequalities that have to be satisfied at any cross-section, but since an I-section can be defined by six variables, and two are needed to define the prestress, the problem is over-specified and it is not immediately obvious which conditions are superfluous. In the hands of inexperienced engineers, the design process can be very long-winded. However, it is possible to separate out the design of the cross-section from the design of the prestress. By considering pairs of stress limits on the same fibre, but for different load cases, the effects of the prestress can be eliminated, leaving expressions of the form:rangestress e Perm issibl Range Mom entZ These inequalities, which can be evaluated exhaustively with little difficulty, allow the minimum size of the cross-section to be determined.Once a suitable cross-section has been found, the prestress can be designed using a construction due to Magnel (Fig.4). The stress limits can all be rearranged into the form:()M fZ PA Z e ++-≤1 By plotting these on a diagram of eccentricity versus the reciprocal of the prestressing force, a series of bound lines will be formed. Provided the inequalities (2) are satisfied, these bound lines will always leave a zone showing all feasible combinations of P and e. The most economical design, using the minimum prestress, usually lies on the right hand side of the diagram, where the design is limited by the permissible tensile stresses.Plotting the eccentricity on the vertical axis allows direct comparison with the crosssection, as shown in Fig. 5. Inequalities (3) make no reference to the physical dimensions of the structure, but these practical cover limits can be shown as wellA good designer knows how changes to the design and the loadings alter the Magnel diagram. Changing both the maximum andminimum bending moments, but keeping the range the same, raises and lowers the feasible region. If the moments become more sagging the feasible region gets lower in the beam.In general, as spans increase, the dead load moments increase in proportion to the live load. A stage will be reached where the economic point (A on Fig.5) moves outside the physical limits of the beam; Guyon (1951a) denoted the limiting condition as the critical span. Shorter spans will be governed by tensile stresses in the two extreme fibres, while longer spans will be governed by the limiting eccentricity and tensile stresses in the bottom fibre. However, it does not take a large increase in moment ,at which point compressive stresses will govern in the bottom fibre under maximum moment.Only when much longer spans are required, and the feasible region moves as far down as possible, does the structure become governed by compressive stresses in both fibres.3、Continuous beamsThe design of statically determinate beams is relatively straightforward; the engineer can work on the basis of the design of individual cross-sections, as outlined above. A number of complications arise when the structure is indeterminate which means that the designer has to consider, not only a critical section,but also the behaviour of the beam as a whole. These are due to the interaction of a number of factors, such as Creep, Temperature effects and Construction Sequence effects. It is the development of these ideas whichforms the core of this paper. The problems of continuity were addressed at a conference in London (Andrew and Witt 1951). The basic principles, and nomenclature, were already in use, but to modern eyes concentration on hand analysis techniques was unusual, and one of the principle concerns seems to have been the difficulty of estimating losses of prestressing force.3.1 Secondary MomentsA prestressing cable in a beam causes the structure to deflect. Unlike the statically determinate beam, where this motion is unrestrained, the movement causes a redistribution of the support reactions which in turn induces additional moments. These are often termed Secondary Moments, but they are not always small, or Parasitic Moments, but they are not always bad.Freyssinet’s bridge across the Marne at Luzancy, started in 1941 but not completed until 1946, is often thought of as a simply supported beam, but it was actually built as a two-hinged arch (Harris 1986), with support reactions adjusted by means of flat jacks and wedges which were later grouted-in (Fig.6). The same principles were applied in the later and larger beams built over the same river.Magnel built the first indeterminate beam bridge at Sclayn, in Belgium (Fig.7) in 1946. The cables are virtually straight, but he adjusted the deck profile so that the cables were close to the soffit near mid-span. Even with straight cables the sagging secondary momentsare large; about 50% of the hogging moment at the central support caused by dead and live load.The secondary moments cannot be found until the profile is known but the cablecannot be designed until the secondary moments are known. Guyon (1951b) introduced the concept of the concordant profile, which is a profile that causes no secondary moments; es and ep thus coincide. Any line of thrust is itself a concordant profile.The designer is then faced with a slightly simpler problem; a cable profile has to be chosen which not only satisfies the eccentricity limits (3) but is also concordant. That in itself is not a trivial operation, but is helped by the fact that the bending moment diagram that results from any load applied to a beam will itself be a concordant profile for a cable of constant force. Such loads are termed notional loads to distinguish them from the real loads on the structure. Superposition can be used to progressively build up a set of notional loads whose bending moment diagram gives the desired concordant profile.3.2 Temperature effectsTemperature variations apply to all structures but the effect on prestressed concrete beams can be more pronounced than in other structures. The temperature profile through the depth of a beam (Emerson 1973) can be split into three components for the purposes of calculation (Hambly 1991). The first causes a longitudinal expansion, which is normally released by the articulation of the structure; the second causes curvature which leads to deflection in all beams and reactant moments in continuous beams, while the third causes a set of self-equilibrating set of stresses across the cross-section.The reactant moments can be calculated and allowed-for, but it is the self- equilibrating stresses that cause the main problems for prestressed concrete beams. These beams normally have high thermal mass which means that daily temperature variations do not penetrate to the core of the structure. The result is a very non-uniform temperature distribution across the depth which in turn leads to significant self-equilibrating stresses. If the core of the structure is warm, while the surface is cool, such as at night, then quite large tensile stresses can be developed on the top and bottom surfaces. However, they only penetrate a very short distance into the concrete and the potential crack width is very small. It can be very expensive to overcome the tensile stress by changing the section or the prestress。

这一定义包含以下几个关键点:(1)在一个组织中,每级员工对内部控制都有着影响。

在一定程度上,内部控制可以说是每个人的责任。

在美国加州大学,部门级的行政人员在本部门中对内部控制负有主要职责。

(2)有效的内部控制能帮助一个组织完成它的营运、财务报表和合规性目标。

有效的内部控制是管理过程中一个固定的部分(即计划、组织、指令和控制 )。

内部控制使得一个组织在规定过程中能始终围绕它的宗旨,达成它的使命,并且使意外事件发生的可能性降到最低。

内部控制促进了组织营运的效力和效率,减少了财产损失的风险,并且帮助确保企业能遵守法律和章程。

内部控制也保证了财务报表的可靠性(即所有交易被记录,并且所有记录的交易被真实和适当的给予重视,并被及时记录,适当分类,正确汇总和通知)。

(3)内部控制提供的仅是达到有关组织目标的合理保证,而不是绝对保证。

有效的内部控制可以帮助一个组织达到它的目标,但它不保证成功。

内部控制无法为目标的实现提供绝对保证是由于这样一些原因:现实成本/效益,员工之间勾结舞弊和处于组织控制无法涉及的外部事件中。

控制环境控制环境是控制意识的一个组成部分,它是人们开展活动和履行控制责任的大环境。

在一个有效的控制环境中,主管人员清楚自己的责任所在,清楚他们所拥有权利的有限性。

这些人知识渊博且警觉,致力于做正确的事情并且以正确的方式去做事。

他们以遵循一个组织的政策程序行事及遵守相应的道德和行为标准为己任。

控制环境包括技术能力和道德承诺,它是有效内部控制不可或缺的一个无形要素。

理事会成员和管理者建立有效沟通的书面政策和程序,道德守则和行为标准,以此来强化一个组织的控制环境。

此外,理事和管理者以道德的方式做出种种表率,建立一种积极的“高层调调”,并要求组织中的每个人都遵循相同的行为准则,这也是他们完善控制环境的途径。

谁负有责任?管理部门是负责“指定基调”的组织。

管理部门应该营造出一种控制环境来鼓励:(1)最高水平的完整性,个人和专业的水准 ;(2)可以在组织中促进内部控制的领导哲学和经营风格;(3)权力和责任的下放。

控制环境的关键点有效的人力资源政策和程序可以增强组织的控制环境。

这些政策和程序能够解决雇用、指导、培训、评价、咨询、促销、赔偿和纪律处分问题。

如果员工所做的不符合组织的政策程序或行为标准,那么组织必须采取适当的行为保证组织的纪律性,以维持一个有效的控制环境。

员工个人若能认识到他们肩负着责任,在某种程度上看来这会对控制环境产生很大影响。

下面是一些用以加强部门控制环境的小建议。

这个列表里并非是全部建议,也不是每一项都适用于各个部门,它只可以作为一个基础。

请确保部门具有以下政策和程序(难以复制和互联网式的接入方式):行政程序商业和金融简讯员工手册采购手册人事备忘录(1)确保部门拥有已成文的书面政策和程序方法,其中涉及其重大活动和特殊问题。

员工的责任,权力限制,执行标准,控制程序,在报告中必须给以了明确的说明。

(2)确保员工熟悉他们大学的政策和程序来配合他们的工作职责。

(3)讨论员工的道德问题。

如果员工需要更多的指导,发放部门的行为标准。

(4)确保雇员根据利害关系原则而透露出潜在的利益冲突(即公司的所有者权益正在或被提议将要与大学发生生意关系)。

(5)确保有工作说明存在,里面明确陈述了内部控制的责任,正确解释了人员在期望中所想要获得的知识、技能和经验方面的能力水平。

保证聘用的是有合格实践经验的人。

(6)保证部门建立一个能充分训练雇员的计划。

(7)保证能经常举办评估职员表现的活动,好的表现应该得到高度重视并且以一个积极地方式来承认它。

(8)确保当某位雇员不遵从政策规定或者有关行为标准时,企业会对其进行适当的处分。

控制活动正确及时的进行控制活动可以管理风险以及减少风险。

预防和检测控制。

控制是可以被预防或检测到的。

不同控制的目的不同。

预防性控制意图遏制或防止不良事件的发生。

他们是积极主动的控制,这有助于防止损失的发生。

预防控制包括职责的分离,正确的授权,足够的文件和实物资产的控制。

相反,侦查性控制试图发现不良的行为。

他们提供证据证明损失已经发生,但不能阻止损失的发生。

侦查性控制包括复核、分析、方差分析、核对、实物盘点和审计。

这两种类型的控制对于一个有效的内部控制制度来说都是必不可少的。

从质量角度看,预防性控制因为积极主动,并强调质量而显得至关重要。

然而,侦查性控制发挥着为预防性控制的运行和防止损失发生提供证据的关键作用。

控制活动包括批准,核准,核查,核对,回顾绩效,资产安全,职责分工,和信息系统控制。

审批、授权、核实(预防性活动)。

管理部门授权员工在有限的权利内执行相应的活动和交易。

此外,管理部门指定这些活动或交易需要由监管人员批准后才能执行。

主管审批(人工或电子时)意味着他或她已核实和确认的活动或交易符合既定的政策和程序。

对账(侦查性活动)。

员工在数据之间的联系不同,识别和调查这些不同,并在必要时要采取纠正行动。

资产安全(预防及侦查性活动)。

涉及设备、库存、证券、现金和其他资产的要受到限制,资产要定期清点,并且与控制记录的数额进行比较。

职责分工(预防性活动)。

职责在不同员工中被分离,旨在减少错误或不当活动所带来的风险。

通常交易的授权、交易的记录(会计)、相关资产的管理(保管)这些职责是被分离的。

控制信息系统(预防和侦查性活动)。

控制信息系统分为两大类,一般控制和应用控制。

一般控制通常包括控制数据中心运营,系统软件的购置和维修,存取安全以及应用系统的开发和维护。

如电脑匹配和检查程序等应用控制,是按照应用软件一步一步进行的,它们旨在保证交易过程、授权以及效力的完整性和准确性。

一般控制是应用控制能够运行的必要支持。

它们都必须确保信息处理的完整性和准确性。

控制活动的执行必须经过深思熟虑,并且要求相关人员尽职尽责、始终如一的去执行。

如果不根据指导性政策所限定的条件范围来考虑哪些是重点,从而机械化执行控制,那么程序将发挥不了应起到的作用。

此外,有必要把非常规状态认为是调查控制活动及采取适当的纠正行动所导致的结果。

Understanding internal controlsLarry D.Hubbard.Understanding internal controls.Internal Auditor.2003,(10).Internal Control DefinedInternal control is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the achievement of objectives in the following categories:∙ Effectiveness and efficiency of operations∙ Reliability of financial reporting∙ Compliance with applicable laws and regulationsSeveral key points should be made about this definition:1. People at every level of an organization affect internal control.Internal control is, to some degree, everyone's responsibility. Within the University of California, administrative employees at the department-level are primarily responsible for internal control in their departments.2. Effective internal control helps an organization achieve its operations, financial reporting, and compliance objectives. Effective internal control is a built-in part of the management process (i.e., plan, organize, direct, and control). Internal control keeps an organization on course toward its objectives and the achievement of its mission, and minimizes surprises along the way. Internal control promotes effectiveness and efficiency of operations, reduces the risk of asset loss, and helps to ensure compliance with laws and regulations. Internal control also ensures the reliability of financial reporting (i.e., all transactions are recorded and that all recorded transactions are real, properly valued, recorded on a timely basis, properly classified, and correctly summarized and posted).3. Internal control can provide only reasonable assurance - not absolute assurance - regarding the achievement of an organization's objectives.Effective internal control helps an organization achieve its objectives; it does not ensure success. There are several reasons why internal control cannot provide absolute assurance that objectives will be achieved: cost/benefit realities, collusion among employees, and external events beyond an organization's control.Control EnvironmentThe control environment is the control consciousness of an organization; it is theatmosphere in which people conduct their activities and carry out their control responsibilities.An effective control environment is an environment where competent people understand their responsibilities, the limits to their authority, and are knowledgeable, mindful, and committed to doing what is right and doing it the right way. They are committed to following an organization's policies and procedures and its ethical and behavioral standards. The control environment encompasses technical competence and ethical commitment; it is an intangible factor that is essential to effective internal control.A governing board and management enhance an organization's control environment when they establish and effectively communicate written policies and procedures, a code of ethics, and standards of conduct. Moreover, a governing board and management enhance the control environment when they behave in an ethical manner-creating a positive "tone at the top"--and when they require that same standard of conduct from everyone in the organization.Who is Responsible?Management is responsible for "setting the tone" for their organization. Management should foster a control environment that encourages:∙ the highest levels of integrity and personal and professional standards∙ a leadership philosophy and operating style which promote internal control throughout the organization∙ assignment of authority and responsibility.Control Environment TipsEffective human resource policies and procedures enhance an organization's control environment. These policies and procedures should address hiring, orientation, training, evaluations, counseling, promotions, compensation, and disciplinary actions. In the event that an employee does not comply with an organization's policies and procedures or behavioral standards, an organization must take appropriate disciplinary action to maintain an effective control environment. The control environment is greatly influenced by the extent to which individuals recognize that they will be held accountable.Listed below are some tips to enhance a department's control environment. This list is not all inclusive, nor will every item apply to every department; it can, however, serve as a starting point.Make sure that the following policies and procedures are available in yourdepartment (hard copy or Internet access):Administrative ProceduresBusiness and Finance BulletinsEmployee HandbookPurchasing ManualPersonnel Memorandum∙ -written departmental policies and procedures manual which addresses its significant activities and unique issues. Employee responsibilities, limits to authority, performance standards, control procedures, and reporting relationships should be clear.∙ Make sure that employees are well acquainted with the University’s policies and procedures that pertain to their job responsibilities.∙ Discuss ethical issues with employees. If employees need additional guidance, issue departmental standards of conduct.∙ Make sure that employees comply with the Conflict of Interest policy and disclose potential conflicts of interest (e.g., ownership interest in companies doing business or proposing to do business with the University).∙ Make sure that job descriptions exist, clearly state responsibility for internal control, and correctly translate desired competence levels into requisite knowledge, skills, and experience; make sure that hiring practices result in hiring qualified individuals.∙ Make sure that the department has an adequate training program for employees.∙ Make sure that employee performance evaluations are conducted periodically. Good performance should be valued highly and recognized in a positive manner.∙ Make sure that appropriate disciplinary action is taken when an employee does not comply with policies and procedures or behavioral standards.Control ActivitiesControl activities are actions, when carried out properly and in a timely manner, manage or reduce risks.Preventive and Detective Controls.Controls can be either preventive or detective. The intent of these controls is different. Preventive controls attempt to deter or prevent undesirable events from occurring. They are proactive controls that help to prevent a loss. Examples of preventive controls are separation of duties, proper authorization, adequate documentation, and physical control over assets.Detective controls, on the other hand, attempt to detect undesirable acts. Theyprovide evidence that a loss has occurred but do not prevent a loss from occurring. Examples of detective controls are reviews, analyses, variance analyses, reconciliations, physical inventories, and audits. Both types of controls are essential to an effective internal control system. From a quality standpoint, preventive controls are essential because they are proactive and emphasize quality. However, detective controls play a critical role providing evidence that the preventive controls are functioning and preventing losses.Control activities include approvals, authorizations, verifications, reconciliations, reviews of performance, security of assets, segregation of duties, and controls over information systems.Approvals, Authorizations, and Verifications (Preventive). Management authorizes employees to perform certain activities and to execute certain transactions within limited parameters. In addition, management specifies those activities or transactions that need supervisory approval before they are performed or executed by employees. A supervisor’s approval (manual or electronic) implies that he or she has verified and validated that the activity or transaction conforms to established policies and procedures.Reconciliations (Detective). An employee relates different sets of data to one another, identifies and investigates differences, and takes corrective action, when necessary.Security of Assets (Preventive and Detective).Access to equipment, inventories, securities, cash and other assets is restricted; assets are periodically counted and compared to amounts shown on control records.Segregation of Duties (Preventive). Duties are segregated among different people to reduce the risk of error or inappropriate action. Normally, responsibilities for authorizing transactions, recording transactions (accounting), and handling the related asset (custody) are divided.Controls over Information Systems (Preventive and Detective). Controls over information systems are grouped into two broad categories-general controls and application controls. General controls commonly include controls over data center operations, system software acquisition and maintenance, access security, and application system development and maintenance. Application controls such as computer matching and edit checks are programmed steps within application software; they are designed to help ensure the completeness and accuracy of transaction processing, authorization, and validity. General controls are needed to support thefunctioning of application controls; both are needed to ensure complete and accurate information processing.Control activities must be implemented thoughtfully, conscientiously, and consistently; a procedure will not be useful if performed mechanically without a sharp continuing focus on conditions to which the policy is directed. Further, it is essential that unusual conditions identified as a result of performing control activities be investigated and appropriate corrective action be taken.。
