Australian tunnelling in an urban environment
Published in Jian Zhao, J. Nicholas Shirlaw, Rajan Krishnan, Tunnels and Underground Structures, 2017
Appurtenant structures associated with the driven tunnels include a 1420-meter emergency egress tunnel that parallels the east end of the Burnley Tunnel, two cross passages between the Burnley and Domain tunnels, and niches for safe haven refuges and electrical equipment. The emergency egress tunnel (EET), paralleling the easternmost Burnley driven tunnel, is horseshoe shaped, about 2.8 meters wide by 2.6 meters high. There are eight access points along the main tunnel. This tunnel was excavated by drill and blast and by roadheader. Primary support includes rockbolts and shotcrete, rockbolts and mesh, and sets with lagging.

If you have made a cut in a region or removed a section from within a region, you may change your mind about this and want to return it to its original condition. If the regions have not been moved around since you made the cut or removed material, you can join the separated regions back together again using the Heal Separation command. The Heal Separation command returns separated regions to their original state–provided that the regions are still next to each other and that their relative start/end points haven't changed since they were separated.
Sustainable Reverse Supply Chain: Customer Requirement Fulfillment Model
Published in Hamed Fazlollahtabar, Supply Chain Management Models: Forward, Reverse, Uncertain, and Intelligent, 2018
Reverse Logistics Network, part of the supply chain can be defined as “the accurate and timely transmission of materials used and goods haven't been solved through the supply chain (SC) to the end consumer of the last unit of the good.” In other words, reverse logistics is the process of moving and transporting goods and products in the supply chain for return. Design and implementation of reverse logistics network for product returns, inventory, and transportation not only reduce costs but also increase customer loyalty (Lee et al., 2009).
Beyond skills: building research capacity through cognitive apprenticeship and social capital

Shifting from traditional engineering research to EER requires different ways of thinking and new methodologies and skills. New researchers in this area will face some difficulties in assimilating into both the style of research and into the community that conducts this research. This may be particularly true for engineers transitioning into EER, as not only are they changing disciplines but the interdisciplinary field of EER consists of scholars from diverse disciplinary backgrounds with varied research cultures. For those in professional roles, feeling like a graduate student again after a period of feeling like an expert can be painful, and imposter syndrome is likely. A mentor can be a safe haven to go to for help when novice engineering education researchers feel stressed or overwhelmed, a source of light showing them that a mistake is not the end, a voice of encouragement reminding them that they are capable and resilient, and the bridge connecting them to new people and opportunities. This study’s findings suggest that building social capital is an important role of mentors training mentees in EER and that the cognitive apprentice model can support mentee skill development while also building social capital to support mentee success.
The campus and the city: a design revolution explained
Published in Journal of Urban Design, 2018
Hajrasouliha’s survey finds similar language and design solutions in many other American universities: town-gown compacts, community partnerships, street corridors along campus edges, and general public encouragement to make the university a destination place (2017). The University of Minnesota celebrates its strategy to ‘weave campuses into the existing fabric … opening through streets to improve access, placing new housing units among classroom buildings, and reintegrating pedestrians, cars and light rail at street level’ (UrbanStrategies 1994); Yale University’s Framework for Campus Planning of 2000, with its premise that ‘Yale should strive to mesh the borders and edges of the University campus with its surrounding neighbourhoods by reducing those barriers, whether physical or psychological, that prevent the blending of Yale and New Haven’ – as for example in the low-rise, outward-facing premises of the Broadway retail district (Yale University 2000, 149); the University of Michigan Master Plan commissioned by President Lee Bollinger ‘to conceive of our Campus as a whole and consider its place in the larger Ann Arbor community’ (VSBA 2002); McMaster University’s strategy of re-oriention towards its host city of Hamilton Ontario through gateways, facades, walkable pedestrian ways and ‘university-community partnerships’ to bring new faces onto the campus (McMaster 2008); MIT’s ongoing redevelopment of former parking lots on the eastern end of its campus into buildings with a mix of uses and dual aspect, serving both the campus and the adjacent district of Kendall Green (MIT 2010, 2017). South of the Mexican border, Sasaki Associates have won awards for their Tecnológico de Monterrey Urban Regeneration Plan (Figure 4). Despite the markedly different context of a Latin American city, there are evident similarities in the shift from a defensive, security-driven enclave into an extrovert partner, regenerating its urban setting through spatial connectivity and practical collaboration (Sasaki Associates 2016).
