With the continuous development of the social economy, cartoon animation and other multimedia and streaming media forms are becoming more and more popular and are loved by all kinds of people, such as monkey king and Nezha. However, the multimedia of these cartoon animation needs to conform to mainstream values and transmit positive energy. In view of these needs and shortcomings, this study relies on the Bayesian sequence recommendation algorithm, combs the three-tier architecture diagram of multimedia character modeling, analyzes it, respectively, from the perspectives of hierarchy, behavior, and interactive process, and tries to build corresponding animation design management documents, so as to provide corresponding decision-making basis to produce animation and develop corresponding results, provide corresponding reference mode for cartoon animation multimedia character manufacturing, complete corresponding cartoon animation multimedia characters faster, and improve cartoon animation multimedia works and efficiency. The simulation results show that the Bayesian sequence recommendation algorithm is effective and can support the design and modeling of cartoon animation multimedia characters.

Design is a synonym of project. This work aimed, based on the meaning of the word and the recognition that the term currently has on Brasilian market, to identify which ones, and how much are used the traditional project management techniques and methods disseminated by the PMI in design projects. For this, a questionnaire was applied to professionals in the area, inserted in several sectors such as interiors and products design. It was concluded that although these techniques and methods are used, they have a medium frequency in the projects and there was a tendency where it is customary to plan the use of the techniques rather than follow their development in the projects, which may indicate a point for action for project managers in the area.

<p>Previous New Zealand waste management studies have focused on the waste generated from construction activities. However, international research suggests about a third of the overall waste generated originates in the design phase. Internationally, lean design management claims to reduce the waste produced by inefficient design practices. In New Zealand, the literature reveals that the application of lean principles is still in a fledgling state, and even where they are used, waste minimization is not a business priority. This leads to the question: can lean design management be used by construction projects in New Zealand to reduce waste in the design phase? This paper investigates the attitudes, experiences and expectations towards construction waste minimization of a selection of architects using a semi-structured questionnaire. It was found that Wellington-based architects can be broadly classified into 3 categories of lean awareness—high, medium, and low. The medium group, largest in number, comprised architects who identified waste as a problem, but cited post-construction recycling and reuse as their preferred approach to waste minimization. This group notably had 20-25 years of experience in the industry, and related material reuse to residential construction only.</p>

Hydropower, as a renewable energy resource, has become an important way to fit for Chinese long-term energy policy of energy transformation. Engineering–procurement–construction (EPC) has been increasingly adopted for improving hydropower project delivery efficiency in the utilization of water resources and generation of clean energy, where design plays a critical role in project success. Existing studies advocate the need to use partnering for better solutions to designs in EPC hydropower projects. However, there is a lack of a theoretical framework to systematically address design-related issues considering different participants’ interactions. This study coherently examined the causal relationships among partnering, design management, design capability, and EPC hydropower project performance by establishing and validating a conceptual model, with the support of data collected from a large-scale EPC hydropower project. Path analysis reveals that partnering can directly promote design management and design capability and exert an effect on design capability through enhancing design management, thereby achieving better hydropower project outcomes. This study’s contribution lies in that it theoretically builds the links between intra- and inter-organizational design-related activities by systematically mapping EPC hydropower project performance on partnering, design management, and design capability. These findings also suggest broad practical strategies for participants to optimally integrate their complementary resources into designs to achieve superior hydropower project performance.

AbstractRural areas are increasingly subject to the effects of telecouplings (socioeconomic-environmental interactions over distances) whereby their human and natural dynamics are linked to socioeconomic and environmental drivers operating far away, such as the growing demand for labor and ecosystem services in cities. Although there have been many studies evaluating the effects of telecouplings, telecoulplings in those studies were often investigated separately and how telecoulplings may interact and affect dynamics of rural coupled human and natural systems (CHANS) jointly was rarely evaluated. In this study, we developed an agent-based model and simulated the impacts of two globally common telecouplings, nature-based tourism and labor migration, on forest dynamics of a rural CHANS, China’s Wolong Nature Reserve (Wolong). Nature-based tourism and labor migration can facilitate forest recovery, and the predicted forest areas in Wolong in 2030 would be reduced by 26.2 km2 (6.8%) and 23.9 km2 (6.2%), respectively, without their effects. However, tourism development can significantly reduce the probability of local households to have member(s) out-migrate to work in cities and decrease the positive impact of labor migration on forest recovery. Our simulations show that the interaction between tourism and labor migration can reduce the potential forest recovery by 3.5 km2 (5.0%) in 2030. Our study highlights that interactions among different telecouplings can generate significant impacts on socioeconomic and environmental outcomes and should be jointly considered in the design, management, and evaluation of telecouplings for achieving sustainable development goals.

Aim: Ecosystem-based management requires accurate predictions on how biotic and environmental factors interact to deliver ecosystem services. Biodiversity-ecosystem function (BEF) theory predicts that as diversity increases, the ecosystem will become more productive (positive diversity-productivity relationship: DPR) and more stable (positive diversity-stability relationship: DSR). Support for BEF has been primarily derived from fine-grained, non-harvested systems. The purpose of this study is to examine the robustness of BEF predictions for the DPR and DSR by examining how well fish diversity predicts productivity and stability of fish, shrimp, and flounder at a regional scale. Location: Southeast coast of United States. Time Period: 1989 - 2015. Major Taxa Studied: Marine Fishes. Methods: We used 27 years of the SEAMAP-SA Coastal Trawl Survey database to derive estimates of fish, shrimp, and flounder biomass (i.e., productivity), temporal stability of biomass (i.e., invariability of productivity), and fish community species richness. We pooled trawls into 22 km x 22 km raster cells and 3-year time bins. We controlled for variation in sampling effort using sample-based rarefaction. We compared the ability of fish species richness, water salinity, and water temperature to predict biomass and stability of all fish, shrimp, and flounder using multiple linear regression. Results: Both the DPR and DSR exhibited positive log-log linear trends as expected, but the DPR had a much stronger signal. Species richness outperformed the environmental covariates in both the fish and shrimp DPR models. Surface temperature was the most important variable in both flounder models. Overall, our models better explained productivity than stability. Main Conclusions: The DPR and DSR are relevant at regional scales in a commercially important fishery although support for the DSR is less justified than DPR. Further investigation into the underlying mechanisms driving the DPR and DSR are necessary to design management around BEF theory.

The purpose of the article is to substantiate the strategic concept of national economy development in the focus of design management. Methodology. General scientific methods are used in the research, in particular theoretical generalization – to determine the theoretical foundations and trends of content and components of design management; system economic analysis – to substantiate the model of strategic economic transformations management in the context of design management; statistical analysis, namely correlation-regression analysis – to study the relationship between macroeconomic indicators and social indicators. Results. It is proved that the current economic model of the national economy is unsuitable for achieving the goals of sustainable development, ensuring the competitiveness of the state in the global environment and a decent standard of living in the long run. Attempts to improve (reform) certain parameters and components of the outdated model may lead to a loss of time and resources, which will cause Ukraine to further lag behind the developed countries of the world. Solving the problem of ensuring a decent living standard for citizens and the human potential development requires a comprehensive reengineering of the structure and processes of the socio-economic system based on design management. Design management is an innovative concept of thinking. The study of its features allowed to formulate our own approach to determining the strategic management of the national economy. Under this approach, it is proposed to understand the process of designing a socio-economic model of development. The parameters of its operation will guarantee a decent satisfaction level of the population needs in the long run, the choice of a system of optimal strategies and mechanisms for their implementation, taking into account the factors of national security and environmental protection. The corresponding model of strategic management of economic transformations is substantiated. The main directions and priorities of economic policy (sectoral, fiscal, tariff, customs and public procurement policy) aimed at the implementation of qualitative structural transformations to ensure economic growth of the national economy in the strategic perspective are given. The correlation-regression analysis of influence of separate macroeconomic parameters is carried out. Among them: GDP, gross value added, gross capital formation and export balance, ensuring household income growth and employment. According to the design concept, they are key factors in social development. According to the analysis results the number of people employed in the economy by 72–73% correlates with GDP and GVA growth, but this relationship turned out to be negative. One of the reasons for the negative correlation may be the growth of labour productivity due to the introduction of innovative technologies. Practical meaning. Employment growth is also negatively affected by the processes of optimizing the number of employees in enterprises due to certain structural changes, including reduction of the share of industry in the structure of GDP, reduction of employees in the budget sphere and increase of the services sector, which does not require such a large number of employees. In the future, the extrapolation of these trends threatens to further deteriorate the labour market. Prospects for further research. Using correlation-regression analysis, close correlations have been established between household incomes and the growth of gross value added in the economy, the increase in the export balance and the gross accumulation of capital. Using correlation-regression analysis, close correlations have been established between household incomes and the growth of gross value added in the economy, the increase in the export balance and the gross accumulation of capital. This indicates the priority of developing economic activities with a high level of value added, increasing exports and capital investment as imperative factors in reducing poverty in the long run.

Traffic prediction is essential for advanced traffic planning, design, management, and network sustainability. Current prediction methods are mostly offline, which fail to capture the real-time variation of traffic flows. This paper establishes a sustainable online generative adversarial network (GAN) by combining bidirectional long short-term memory (BiLSTM) and a convolutional neural network (CNN) as the generative model and discriminative model, respectively, to keep learning with continuous feedback. BiLSTM constantly generates temporal candidate flows based on valuable memory units, and CNN screens out the best spatial prediction by returning the feedback gradient to BiLSTM. Multi-dimensional indicators are selected to map the multi-view fusion local trend for accurate prediction. To balance computing efficiency and accuracy, different batch sizes are pre-tested and allocated to different lanes. The models are trained with rectified adaptive moment estimation (RAdam) by dividing the dataset into the training and testing sets with a rolling time-domain scheme. In comparison with the autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA), BiLSTM, generating adversarial network for traffic flow (GAN-TF), and generating adversarial network for non-signal traffic (GAN-NST), the proposed improved generating adversarial network for traffic flow (IGAN-TF) successfully generates more accurate and stable flows and performs better.
