How can the physical design of workplace enhance collaborations without compromising an individual's productivity? The body research on links between space and collaboration in knowledge work settings is reviewed. Collaboration viewed as a system behaviours that includes both social solitary work. aspects are discussed terms three dimensions: awareness, brief interaction (working together). Current well individual collaborative central conflict considered: how to effectively provide balance...

The increasingly collaborative nature of knowledge-based work requires workplaces to support both dynamic interactions and concentrated work, which are critical for collaboration performance. Given the prevalence open-plan settings, this requirement has created new challenges workplace design. Therefore, an understanding relationship between spatial characteristics settings that is perceived by office workers valuable timely. Based on a study 308 in 27 spaces, article examines series...

The value of effective collaboration has become increasingly critical for organizational performance and agility. Along with technical managerial strategies, the workspace spatial environment needs to be recognized studied its impact on interactive behavior at work. Most parameters in workplace research literature are workstation-scale characteristics. However, these may not sufficiently describe variety shared spaces which collaborative work interactions take place. Based a two-year...

User satisfaction studies and measured performance reveal that there are significant gaps between the design intent of buildings systems over time occupancy shifts. Whether this gap is due to failures in design, construction, management or use often unclear, user studies, augmented by as-built records fully understand building time. The article introduces General Services Administration's (GSA) National Environmental Assessment Toolkit (NEAT) field study tools database their contributions...

The authors examined the relationship between meaning in life and college adjustment a sample of 96 students. In line with previous research on positive psychosocial functioning measures, presence was positively correlated adjustment, whereas searching for negatively adjustment. However, degree to which students were actively moderated Recommendations counseling services are discussed.

While research tends to focus on understanding risk factors associated with adverse childhood and adolescent experiences, there is growing empirical support within the field of human services also strengths protective that bolster resilience in life. This study investigated psychometrics Resilience Protective Factors Checklist (RPFC), which a questionnaire assists identification empirically linked positive outcomes. In addition, associations between factors, adversity, quality life outcomes...

The growing demand for new approaches to support the changing nature of work and organizational structure has spawned innovations from both manufacturers space designers. result is a multitude concepts designs, but little data on how well under what circumstances these are effective. New products, technologies, frequently implemented without knowledge their impacts work, much less value high-level goals. measurement most commonly used still cost, or even sensibly, square feet. To remedy this...

In this paper the process integration challenges for a 3-D die to wafer stacking technology are investigated. A etching through full multi layer field dielectric of completed is achieved. Ionized PVD used form barrier and liner, shown allow metal coverage scallops undercut resulting from combined deep silicon via etch oxide liner deposition processes. Void free copper plating demonstrated verify successful all stages necessary formation.

There is growing awareness and empirical support for targeting strengths resilience when providing services to youth families who have been impacted by adverse childhood experiences (ACE) trauma. The purpose of this article highlight strengths-based, resilience-enhancing (SBRE) clinical applications that can be incorporated into ACE-informed therapeutic services. Twenty treatment components are described organized six main categories chronicle the course therapy: Relationship Development,...

Reading and writing are fundamental skills students need to succeed in college, making literacy development an issue of education equity. The can be content-specific, indicating faculty members across disciplines support student appropriate skills. extent which is likely associated with their literacy-focused equity mindset. goal our research was document the mindset multiple disciplines. We gathered a combination quantitative qualitative data from 345 college using survey. found variations...

Analysis by the US General Services Administration of new end-user-satisfaction data compiled UC Berkeley’s Center for Built Environment (CBE) continues to reinforce that green building interiors built according LEED Rating system suffer from a decline in acoustical performance. The facts are occupants offices have been upgraded achieve certification express high levels satisfaction with Indoor Environmental Quality one exception—acoustics. What is it about LEED-rated causes this unintended...
