Acoustics

Hearing is one of the most crucial means of survival in the animal world and speech is one of the most distinctive characteristics of human development and culture. Accordingly, the science of acoustics spreads across many facets of human society—music, medicine, architecture, industrial production and more recently in off-site instructional facilities.  Join us today at 15:00 UTC when we review the best practice catalogs of the peak standards-setting organizations for titles relevant to education communities.

Sports, Recreational Facilities & Equipment

“Dancing Reflections” 2015 Isabel Emrich | Academy of Art University California

Recreational sports, athletic competition, and the facilities that support it, are one of the most visible activities in any school, college or university in any nation.   Enterprises of this kind have the same ambition for safety and sustainability at the same scale as the academic and healthcare enterprises.  

According to IBISWorld Market Research, Sports Stadium Construction was a $6.1 billion market in 2014, Athletic & Sporting Goods Manufacturing was a $9.2 billion market in 2015, with participation in sports increasing 19.3 percent by 2019 — much of that originating in school, college and university sports and recreation programs.  We refer you to more up to date information in the link below:

Sports & Athletic Field Construction Industry in the US – Market Research Report

We track leading practice discovery in titles released by International Standards Organization’s  ISO/TC 83: Sports and other recreational facilities and equipment.  The German Deutsches Institut für Normung (DIN) iss the global Secretariat and ASTM International as the US Technical Advisory Group Administrator. 

From the ISO TC/83 prospectus:

BUSINESS PLAN | ISO/TC 83 Sports and recreational equipment | EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Standards by ISO/TC 83

Academic units in the US that want to offer their sports management or international studies students a front row seat on the technology and management of sport may want to participate in  ISO/TC/83 business.  To start, organizations within the United States may communicate directly with ASTM International, West Conshohocken, PA 19428-2959, Phone: (610) 832-9804.   Contact: Joe Khoury (jkoury@astm.org).

We refresh our understanding of the current status of best practice literature at least once per month during our Sport colloquia.  See our CALENDAR for the next online meeting; open to everyone.

Blockchain Tokens for Food Traceability

Integrating Blockchain, Smart Contract-Tokens, and IoT to Design a Food Traceability Solution

Abstract:  Information asymmetry exists amongst stakeholders in the current food supply chain. Lack of standardization in data format, lack of regulations, and siloed, legacy information systems exasperate the problem. Global agriculture trade is increasing creating a greater need for traceability in the global supply chain. This paper introduces Harvest Network, a theoretical end-to-end, vis a vie “farm-to-fork”, food traceability application integrating the Ethereum blockchain and IoT devices exchanging GS1 message standards. The goal is to create a distributed ledger accessible for all stakeholders in the supply chain. Our design effort creates a basic framework (artefact) for building a prototype or simulation using existing technologies and protocols [1]. The next step is for industry practitioners and researchers to apply AGILE methods for creating working prototypes and advanced projects that bring about greater transparency.
