Space-Time Finite Element Dynamic Analysis of Transfer Plate Structures in Tall Buildings (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kuang, J., & Zhang, H. (2009, September). Space-Time Finite Element Dynamic Analysis of Transfer Plate Structures in Tall Buildings. Presented at Proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering Computing

A new space-time finite element formulation for dynamic analysis of transfer plates is presented. The method is based on an unconventional Hamilton variational principle and a special technique in time domain interpolation is employed. For the simple...

The strategic use of impoliteness to convey caring relations: A Philippine cultural perspective (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Victoria, M. (2009, June). The strategic use of impoliteness to convey caring relations: A Philippine cultural perspective. Paper presented at Linguistic Impoliteness And Rudeness Conference, Lancaster University

It has been claimed that in some discourse contexts, huge power differential and training philosophy account for the pervasiveness of impoliteness (Culpeper 1996: 359). In this ethnographic-based study of two nursing classrooms in the Philippines, I... Read More about The strategic use of impoliteness to convey caring relations: A Philippine cultural perspective.
