Necessity of Establishing the Stage Technical Standards for Outdoor Live Performance Theater
Ziyi He, et al
School of Mechanical and Engineering, Wuhan University of Technology
Chinese indoor theaters have established a relatively complete technical standard system in aspects of lighting, sound, safety supervision and others, while outdoor live performance theaters only have a service standard system. Due to the great scale of sceneries and exposure to the natural open environment, its lighting, audio and other systems, wire modeling, LED screen and laser modeling, water curtain/cloud screen/fireworks modeling, animal performance and other technical systems require long-term resistance to the wind, rain, thunder and lightning, damp corrosion, high temperature, ice, snow weather and other new technical requirements like prevention of damage by wild animals. Outdoor live performance theaters cannot share a set of technical standards with indoor theaters. It is necessary to construct a technical standard system fit for the construction, operation and safety service of outdoor live performance theaters.

Permits and Permissions: Researchers should obtain the necessary permits and permissions required for conducting bird research, especially if it involves capturing, banding, or handling birds. These permits are often issued by relevant government agencies responsible for wildlife management or conservation.
Bird Banding and Marking: When capturing and marking birds for scientific purposes, researchers should follow established protocols, such as those recommended by the Bird Banding Laboratory or other authorized organizations. This includes proper handling techniques, banding procedures, and data recording.
Ethical Considerations: Researchers must ensure that their studies are conducted in an ethical manner, taking into account the welfare of the birds and minimizing any potential harm or stress. Ethical considerations may include avoiding excessive disturbance, minimizing handling time, and assessing the potential impacts on breeding, nesting, or migratory behaviors.
Field Techniques: Researchers should be proficient in field techniques specific to bird research, including bird identification, behavioral observations, and survey methods (e.g., point counts, transects). Standardized protocols are often available for different types of bird research, such as breeding surveys, migration monitoring, or population assessments.
Data Collection and Analysis: Scientists should follow rigorous data collection protocols, ensuring accuracy and consistency in measurements, observations, and data recording. Proper documentation of field notes, metadata, and photographs is crucial for data integrity and reproducibility. Data analysis should adhere to established statistical methods and appropriate modeling techniques.
Habitat Conservation and Protection: Researchers should be mindful of the potential impacts of their activities on bird habitats and ecosystems. They should follow guidelines for minimizing habitat disturbance, preventing the spread of invasive species, and promoting conservation principles. This may include habitat restoration, nest box management, or collaborative efforts with local conservation organizations.
Collaboration and Data Sharing: Scientists are encouraged to collaborate with other researchers, organizations, and citizen science initiatives to enhance data sharing and contribute to broader bird research and conservation efforts. Sharing data through platforms like eBird or contributing to regional bird atlases can provide valuable insights into bird populations and distributions.
These are general considerations, and it’s essential to consult the most up-to-date guidelines and resources from reputable sources such as ornithological societies, bird research institutions, or government agencies dedicated to wildlife management and conservation in your specific region or country.
In any industry painting (and decorating) operations play a crucial role in facility management by enhancing the overall appearance, protecting surfaces, and maintaining a healthy and conducive environment. In the education industry we find these operations in both the business and academic units; often co-mingled with sign-making shops.
Today at 15:00 UTC we review best practice literature for large-scale painting operations — an exploration different than the one undertaken during our Fine Art and Signs, Signs, Signs colloquia — with attention to worker and chemical safety. Among these considerations:
