With the process of large-scale contemporary urban revitalization, abandoned industrial buildings and areas always become the targets of urban renewal and redevelopment due to the ongoing transformation on structural changes of economy and adjustments of plot usage. Although the research and discussion on preservation of industrial heritage have been launched in the fields of theory and practice in China, many former industrial areas and buildings are still undergoing extreme threats and irreversible damages. Taking Iec Long Fireworks Factory which is the only well preserved survivor of industrial heritage in Macao as a case study, this paper presents its historic background, present challenges and future envisions of development. Based on group investigations and SWOT analysis, integrated strategies are proposed to preserve and revitalize the old factory ruins and their landscape settings. The conclusions show the significance to preserve and reuse industrial heritage opened for the urban renewal, which also could be a good contribution for sustainability of history and culture, environment, society and tourism.}, booktitle = {2010 {International} {Conference} on {E}-{Product} {E}-{Service} and {E}-{Entertainment}}, author = {Zhu, Rong and Pinheiro, Francisco Vizeu}, month = nov, year = {2010}, keywords = {Architecture, Buildings, Cultural differences, Fires, History, International Committee, Production facilities}, pages = {1--4}, } @inproceedings{zhu_towards_2010, title = {Towards the {Creation} of a {New} {Sustainable} {Urban} {Environment}: {Improvement} and {Revitalization} of {Public} {Spaces} in the {Historical} {Centre} of {Macao}}, shorttitle = {Towards the {Creation} of a {New} {Sustainable} {Urban} {Environment}}, doi = {10.1109/ICEEE.2010.5661415}, abstract = {Contemporary urban environment is facing big changes caused by a series of synthetic factors on politics, economy, technology, society and culture.

Still, teachers frequently complain about the weak IT skills of many students, suggesting that most of them may not be benefiting sufficiently from their computer literacy courses. This research proposes an enhanced framework based on constructivist principles by using peer-tutoring to increase cost effectiveness and to improve student outcomes. Essential to this proposed model is the training of former course graduates as peer-instructors to achieve high quality learning results. At Instituto de Formação Turistica (IFT), a case study was used to evaluate its effectiveness using a qualitative analysis. In Macao, most students have a Confucian Heritage Cultural (CHC) background and the current findings demonstrate that students share more easily their learning difficulties within their group as their interpersonal relationships improve. It is suggested that since CHC cooperative learning is primarily based on bonds, students involved in this 'relationship-first, learning-second' type shared a larger amount of knowledge and social skills, a dual positive outcome. Moreover, English language is a major barrier for the understanding of the teacher’s message to Chinese students. Meanwhile, the negative Western concept of plagiarism is replaced, under the CHC, as the ‘face giving’ and it is directly based on the relationship intensity to 'help friends'. At last, peer-tutors play a key role in the student increase internal motivation regarding the joy of the learning process.}, language = {en}, booktitle = {International {Conference} {Educational} {Technologies}, 2017}, author = {Wong, Kelvin and Neves, Ana and Negreiros, João}, year = {2017}, pages = {8}, } @inproceedings{tieben_environmental_2015, address = {Incheon, Korea}, title = {Environmental {Urban} {Design} and {Planning} {Rules} and their {Impact} on {Street} {Spaces} in {Hong} {Kong} and {Macau}}, url = {http://sciforum.net/conference/ifou/paper/2733}, doi = {10.3390/ifou-D016}, language = {en}, urldate = {2023-05-10}, booktitle = {Proceedings of 8th {Conference} of the {International} {Forum} on {Urbanism} ({IFoU})}, publisher = {MDPI}, author = {Tieben, Hendrik and Chu, Joanna and Soares, Nuno and Yiu, Edward}, month = jun, year = {2015}, pages = {586--594}, } @inproceedings{thota_engaging_2015, address = {Taipei, Taiwan}, title = {Engaging {School} {Students} with {Tangible} {Devices}: {Pilot} {Project} with .{NET} {Gadgeteer}}, isbn = {978-1-4799-9967-5}, shorttitle = {Engaging {School} {Students} with {Tangible} {Devices}}, url = {http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/7126242/}, doi = {10.1109/LaTiCE.2015.26}, urldate = {2022-10-27}, booktitle = {2015 {International} {Conference} on {Learning} and {Teaching} in {Computing} and {Engineering}}, publisher = {IEEE}, author = {Thota, Neena and Estadieu, Gerald and Ferrao, Antonio and Meng, Wong Kai}, month = apr, year = {2015}, pages = {112--119}, } @inproceedings{thota_illustration_2012, address = {Melbourne; Australia}, title = {Illustration of paradigm pluralism in computing education research}, volume = {123}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/record/display.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84878522133&origin=inward&txGid=81315c48936e3bc0f6c722737d60e587}, abstract = {This paper argues for paradigm pluralism in computing education research.

Despite fluctuations in popularity, the genre of Chinese crime fiction, the plots of which are based on true cases, has retained a reasonably constant presence on the literary scene, and has captured the popular imagination in contemporary China and, more recently, across the world. After the demise of Mao, under whose governance the genre was banned, the government of the early Deng regime began to favor so-called “legal system literature” (fazhi wenxue), and aimed to use it to propagate moral principles and maintain political control in opposition to writers who strived for independence and originality. Since the mid and late 1980s, which were considered the heyday of Chinese crime fiction, and the expansion of the legal system and legal institutions, crime fiction has served to illuminate the role of law and to display new social perceptions. To investigate these attitudes, I focus on works of contemporary Chinese crime fiction by arguing that they are expressions of a confluence of cultural exchange and new trends. Several factors may have contributed to such a change, from the impact of the cinema and television serials in China to the celebrity status of Chinese detectives, lawyers and judges both as crime solvers and writers in the Chinese mainland and amongst the Chinese writing diaspora. An important finding is that besides giving detailed descriptions of legal procedures, all of the works studied have clearly shifted away from the traditional formula of Chinese crime fiction, that is, of the quest of a hero for justice, punishment, and revenge, to focus on the process of solving crime and the rendering of justice through legal processes. It seems that crime fiction is becoming crucial in conveying a new understanding of citizen’s rights in an attempt to fit into ongoing contemporary debates on universalistic notions of justice and the competence of legal institutions to provide justice to increasingly marginalized sectors of contemporary China.}, author = {Morais, Isabel}, month = jan, year = {2014}, } @inproceedings{mendes_engaging_2014, title = {Engaging: {Creative} {Placemaking} in {Macau} and {Hong} {Kong}}, url = {https://papers.iafor.org/proceedings/conference-proceedings-acah2014/}, abstract = {Nowadays, contemporary art practices have been expanding into fields outside their own borders. According to Claire Bishop (2012), this expanded field of post-studio practices currently goes under a variety of names: socially engaged art, community-based art, experimental communities, dialogic art, littoral art, interventionist art, participatory art, collaborative art, contextual art and (most recently) social practice. By engaging, artists nurture the sense of belonging and search for an identity of the place they inhabit. In Hong Kong and Macao, as well as in the Pearl River Delta and China in general, the speed of urban transformation is forcing artists to reconsider their participation in the city in order to develop a creative place making process that is according to the new identity of the place. By doing so, they are also included in what has been defined as “creative industries” that tries to build a new image of the urban fabric. Linked with this sort of collective attitude, there is also an attempt to find a sense of local identity that has been disappearing in the face of these major developments. Engaging with the city and the communities may constitute, therefore, a challenge for the young generation, especially in hybrid places such as Hong Kong and Macao, where artists find themselves in an effort to understand the core values of their fragmented identity.

The quality of item-association rules nevertheless depends on the concentration of frequent items from the input dataset. When the dataset becomes large, the items are scattered far apart. It is known from previous literature that clustering helps produce some data groups which are concentrated with frequent items. Among all the data clusters generated by a clustering algorithm, there must be one or more clusters which contain suitable and frequent items. In turn, the association rules that are mined from such clusters would be assured of better qualities in terms of high confidence than those mined from the whole dataset. However, it is not known in advance which cluster is the suitable one until all the clusters are tried by association rule mining. It is time consuming if they were to be tested by brute-force. In this paper, a statistical property called prior probability is investigated with respect to selecting the best out of many clusters by a clustering algorithm as a pre-processing step before association rule mining. Experiment results indicate that there is correlation between prior probability of the best cluster and the relatively high quality of association rules generated from that cluster.

(1) Boeing and Airbus are significantly different in the degree of offshoring. (2) The degree of offshoring also changes among different aircraft models. To offer an explanation, this paper focuses on issues related to fragmentation. Existing literature has established the tie between fragmented technology and offshoring. However, it is assumed that production can be fragmented readily and at no cost; and only exogenous global economic factors have impact on the degree of fragmentation. This model distinguishes itself from others by incorporating endogeneity in fragmentation. A final-good firm can spend on R\&D specifically for its own fragmented technology. As a result, the final-good firm can optimally choose the portion of components to be offshored. A strategic trade policy model is used to show that the degree of offshoring depends on the firm's own cost of production, the host country's cost of production, the global state of technology as well as the government trade policies. In particular, export subsidy and subsidy on R\&D of fragmented technology are shown to be policy substitutes.

The concept of green marketing in this sector is crucial due to the growing expected importance of tourism in the future of global economy and its potential impact on social and economic development; this is true particularly in areas with relevant volumes of tourist arrivals. In this sense, we carried out an exploratory research in the hotel industry of the Special Administrative Region (SAR) of Macao in order to: highlight the primary motivations that underlie interventions geared towards the eco-sustainability of hotels, the services they offer and point out the problems, issues, and future prospects in the development of green marketing, as well as explore the role of eco-sustainable values in hotels’ online communication policies. In order to reach these aims a qualitative research was carried out with a semi-structured questionnaire (face-to-face interviews) to a group of hotels. The research was finished by an analysis of their websites, in order to verify possible references to the steps taken to protect the environment.}, publisher = {Society for Global Business and Economic Development}, author = {Lampo, Alessandro and Gregori, Gian Luca and Cardinali, Silvio and Temperini, Valerio}, month = jul, year = {2012}, } @inproceedings{lampo_macao_2011, address = {Singapore}, title = {Macao: {A} {Study} on the {Impact} of {Global}, {Regional} and {Local} {Forces}.}, shorttitle = {Macao}, url = {https://www.researchgate.net/publication/262098245_Macao_A_Study_on_the_Impact_of_Global_Regional_and_Local_Forces}, abstract = {Over the years Macao has been exposed to different cultures and has been influenced by various political and economic interests.

In education, there are great advantages for high-schools to utilize these online communication platforms, especially Online Open Forums and Social Networking Sites. Communication is the backbone of education. Everything from classroom teaching to school policy making depends on effective communication [1]. With these new communication platforms at hand, schools can develop more adaptable and friendly channels among students, teachers and management (only the first two interveners are covered under this study). Various components of the schools will essentially work together in a more collaborative and regenerative way [2]. This research paper analyses how online communication platforms are changing the internal nature of education. It takes sample populations from two schools in Macao (Pre-University of the University of Saint Joseph, USJ, and Colégio Diocesano de São José, CDSJ) with different backgrounds such as medium of language, level of degree, professor's background and style of teaching. Teachers of these schools are communicated first for their opinion on key elements to improve learning with online communication platforms. These factors are implemented in a platform such as Social Networking Sites. As expected, students are instructed to utilize this platform (Facebook) to enhance their learning practice and experience.

To collect more rigorous data we surveyed teachers, researchers, and academic managers on their opinions and experiences of MOOCs. In this paper, we present our analysis of responses from the computer science academic community (n=137). Their feelings about MOOCs are highly mixed. Content analysis of open-ended questions revealed that the most often mentioned positive aspects included affordances of MOOCs, freedom of time and location for studying, and the possibility to experience teaching from top-level international teachers/experts. The most common negative aspects included concerns about pedagogical designs of MOOCs, assessment practices, and lack of interaction with the teacher.

One other relevant aspect was that Digital technology was used in the design and fabrication of the physical instruments' prototypes, but in very few cases, it was used in the actual generation or enhancement of sound, with the instruments relying almost exclusively in acoustic and mechanical sound.}, language = {English}, urldate = {2021-01-28}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the {International} {Conference} on {New} {Interfaces} for {Musical} {Expression}}, publisher = {Aalborg University}, author = {Barbosa, Alvaro and Tsang, Thomas}, year = {2017}, note = {GSCC: 0000000}, pages = {48--51}, } @inproceedings{barbosa_accuracy_2012, series = {Proceedings of the 133rd {Audio} {Engineerg} {Soceity} {Convention}}, title = {Accuracy of {ITU}-{R} {BS}.1770 {Algorithm} in {Evaluating} {Multi}-track {Material}}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 133rd {Audio} {Engineerg} {Soceity} {Convention}}, publisher = {Audio Engineerg Soceity}, author = {Barbosa, Alvaro and Pestana, Pedro and Reiss, Josh}, year = {2012}, note = {GSCC: 0000005}, } @inproceedings{barbosa_loudness_2013, address = {Rome, Italy}, series = {Proceedings of the 134th {Audio} {Engineerg} {Soceity} {Convention}}, title = {Loudness {Measurement} of {Multitrack} {Audio} {Content} {Using} {Modifications} of {ITU}-{R} {BS}.1770}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 134th {Audio} {Engineerg} {Soceity} {Convention}}, author = {Barbosa, Alvaro and Pestana, Pedro and Reiss, Josh}, year = {2013}, note = {GSCC: 0000024}, } @inproceedings{barbosa_nime_2013, address = {Macau SAR, China}, series = {Proceedings of the {Learning} and {Teaching} in {Computing} and {Engineering} ({LaTiCE}) {Conference}}, title = {{NIME} {Education} at the {School} of {Arts} of the {Portuguese} {Catholic} {University} / {CITAR}}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the {Learning} and {Teaching} in {Computing} and {Engineering} ({LaTiCE}) {Conference}}, author = {Barbosa, Alvaro and Martins, Luis}, year = {2013}, note = {GSCC: 0000000}, } @inproceedings{barbosa_perfect_2012, series = {Proceedings of the {Conference} on {New} {Interfaces} for {Musical} {Expression} ({NIME} 2012)}, title = {Perfect {Take}: {Experience} {Design} and {New} {Interfaces} for {Musical} {Expression}}, shorttitle = {Perfect {Take}}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the {Conference} on {New} {Interfaces} for {Musical} {Expression} ({NIME} 2012)}, publisher = {NIME}, author = {Barbosa, Alvaro and Makelberge, Nicolas and Perrota, Andre and Ferreira, Luis Sarmento}, year = {2012}, note = {GSCC: 0000002}, } @inproceedings{barbosa_monitoring_2013, series = {Proceedings of the 8th {International} {Workshop} on {Haptic} and {Audio} {Interaction} {Design} ({HAID})}, title = {Monitoring {Temporal} {Personal} {Information} {Regarding} {Soundscapes} and {Movement}, as a {Way} to {Enhance} {Social} {Interactions}}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 8th {International} {Workshop} on {Haptic} and {Audio} {Interaction} {Design} ({HAID})}, publisher = {Springer - Lecture Notes in Computer Science}, author = {Barbosa, Alvaro and Cordeiro, Joao}, year = {2013}, note = {GSCC: 0000001}, } @inproceedings{afonso_potential_2019, address = {Suzhou, China}, title = {Potential for the design of an energy saving facade system using agglomerated cork: {Implications} in subtropical climates}, shorttitle = {Potential for the design of an energy saving facade system using agglomerated cork}, url = {https://scholar.google.com/scholar?cluster=2603268218233348583&hl=en&oi=scholarr}, urldate = {2023-10-30}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 2nd {International} {Conference} on {Sustainable} {Buildings} and {Structures}}, publisher = {Jiaotong Liverpool University}, author = {Afonso, Filipe}, year = {2019}, pages = {185}, }
