Creative Design as Research The Application of Practice Base Research in Designing the Logo of Didar Gallery of Isfahan by Rasool Kamali Dolat Abadi

“…In this research design, the author has used four cognitive fields: "Graphics and Sign Design", "Process Design and Triz's Theory of Creativity" (The four basic pillars of Triz: “Contrast”, “Ideality”, “Function” and “Resources”; The eight principles of Triz: “Consolidation”, “Nesting”, “Prior Action”, “Periodic Action”, “Mediator”, “Replacement of Mechanical Systems”, “Homogeneity” & “Phase Transition”), "Contemporary Art and Galleries" (Applying seven features of Contemporary Art: “innovation and experimentation” in the unconventional design process, “using Multimedia as a new tool” in logo design, “conceptual-critical and questioning approach” which has deconstructive features, “process oriented design”, “Multiplicity of meaning”, “Multidisciplinary approach in sound engineering and image engineering” and “Social action and interactivity” through collaboration with different people for sign design) and "Structuralist & Post-Structuralist Philosophy" (Concepts such as “the metaphysics of presence”, “the priority of speech (parole) over writing (language)”, “endless chain of significations” ,“the trace of meaning”, “the Play of presence and absence”, “deferral of meaning”, “difference”).In designing the final logo of Didar Gallery, the designer paid attention to the histogram of the recorded sound of saying the word Didar, instead of a purely written or visual approach, taking into account selected theoretical principles in the four cognitive fields and while visualizing the sound, he redesigned the letters with deformation in its geometry.As a result, in the final design, the designer has increased the creative and thoughtful aspect of the logo by making changes in the design tools and design approach, and by deepening the design -by finding ideas from philosophical propositions (especially Derrida's deconstruction)- to the extent that the gallery logo, in addition to the status of its functionality can be considered as an artwork.…”

Improving the understanding and interpretation of myeloma screening among resident doctors and physician associates: a quality improvement project by Mahmoud Gouda, Hannah Hunter

“…For instance, several tests were incorrectly included, such as C-reactive protein, chosen by 17 out of 34 (50%) respondees; 11 out of 34 (32.4%) selected a skeletal survey, and 11 out of 34 (32.4%) chose liver function tests.The BSH guidelines recommend serum free light chains rather than urinary Bence-Jones proteins to test for monoclonal light chains.2 Despite this, most respondents (94.1%) selected urinary Bence-Jones proteins as part of the myeloma panel.The results also revealed a lack of confidence among participants in interpreting myeloma screen results (Fig 2). …”

In-band network telemetry system based on high-performance packet processing architecture VPP by Tian PAN, Xingchen LIN, Jiao ZHANG, Tao HUANG, Yunjie LIU

“…An in-band network telemetry-based system was built based on VPP, a high-performance virtual network forwarding architecture/device, via reorganizing the data plane pipeline processing modules.Moreover, a network-wide telemetry mechanism was further developed via embedding source routing into the probe packet header for specifying the route of probe packets.Finally, a virtual network topology was built with performance evaluation conducted.The evaluation shows that the telemetry system can monitor the network in a high precision of every 0.13 ms, detecting link congestion in real time with minor performance overhead.Given virtual network devices have been widely deployed in data centers, the proposed scheme is expected to improve the reliability of multi-tenancy and network function virtualization in data centers via high-precision, network-wide virtual link telemetry coverage.…”
