Dear Friends:
I am delighted to welcome you to the Chinese American Academic and Professional Society’s 41st Annual Convention.
Our great city would not be the global hub of commerce, innovation and higher education it is today without the tremendous contributions of Asian New Yorkers. Established in 1975, CAAPS provides opportunities for Chinese American scholars and professionals from a variety of sectors to network, share knowledge, develop their skills and advance their careers. As you gather to exchange ideas about improving society through multidisciplinary collaboration, I commend this wonderful organization for its efforts to strengthen our academic and business communities, promote cross-cultural understanding, and empower Chinese American leaders throughout the five boroughs and beyond. Together, we are forging a brighter, more inclusive future for all.
On behalf of the City of New York, please accept my best wishes for a productive conference and continued success.
Sincerely,
Bill de Blasio Mayor

The Water Entry of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH 370: A Mathematical and Computational Study August, 14, 2016, NewYork
Goong Chen and Cong Gu
Department of Mathematics, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX 77843
Abstract
The disappearance of the Malaysia Airlines remains one of the greatest mysteries in the history of aviation. It search and recovery operation also constitutes the most expensive one. In this talk, the first author will present the study of this problem from a mathematical modeling and computer simulation point of view based on the work in Ref. [1] by his coauthors C. Gu, P.J. Morris, E.G. Patersen, A. Sergeev, Y.C. Wang, T. Wierzbicki and himself. Several short videos obtained by supercomputer simulations will be presented in order to show what happens in several configurations when an airliner hits water.
The speaker will then show some more recent results about the computation of bending forces on the fuselage indicating under what configuration/geometry the airliner is more susceptible to the breakup of the fuselage. It is important to remark and distinguish here whether the fuselage breaks up or not,because there would exist a large floating debris field if the fuselage did break up upon water entry. However, so far there have been no
indications of the existence or observations of any significantfloating debris field of MH370. Hence, a most natural assertion is that MH370 entered water (nearly) Figure 1: A vertical water entry configuration/ geometry of an airliner vertically as shown in Figure 1. and its fuselage did not suffer a so-called "global failure", i.e., no total break up. Though, somewhat minor fractures and damages on the fuselage (of the local nature) are certainly likely, the findings of flaperons and stabilizers debris off the coasts of the French Reunion Islands and Mozambique will not conflict with the above forensic assessments.
There are numerous conspiracy stories on MH370 made by experts and non-experts. The speaker will offer some personal assessments and critiques on the validity of those theories.
Finally, the speaker will also show supercomputer simulations and video animations of airliner mountain crashes.The Texas A&M University, College Station, TX E-mail: [email protected]

Influence of sewage discharge on Flushing Bay water quality: management challenges and opportunities
Gregory O’Mullan1
1School of Earth and Environmental Sciences, Queens College, City University of New York
Brief Abstract In recent decades, focused environmental management and upgrades to wastewater treatment infrastructure have resulted in significant improvement to the coastal environment of New York City. Substantial progress has been observed in the mid-channel of the Hudson and East Rivers, however, urban stormwater, Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO), and incomplete sewage treatment continue to impair many local urban creeks and embayments. Flushing Bay has been identified as a site in need of large-scale investment to improve water quality and is currently in the planning phase for management actions as part of a Long Term Control Plan for sewage pollution. Sewage input, mostly associated with precipitation driven CSO events, delivers pathogens, depletes oxygen and enhances the release greenhouse gases in Flushing Bay. Scientific data collected from Flushing Bay will be discussed in the context of management challenges and opportunities.

Keynote Speech
My View on Taiwan's Higher Education in an Innovation-Based Economy
David C Chang
Abstract
Higher education has been facing unprecedented challenges, both as the direction result of a dramatic increase of the number of degree-granting universities and a continuing decline in birth rate in recent decades. The over-capacity ultimately could be sorted it out with closing of those financially-strapped institutions if one allows the market force to play out without undue government or political constraints. But the transition to a new equilibrium likely will be a painful process for those impacted.
Aside from over-capacity, a major reform of Taiwan’s higher education is also much needed to prepare students to cope with an ever-increasing globalization world where countries, both those developed and developing ones, compete fiercely in marching toward an innovation- based economy. Universities nowadays are expected not merely to forge a stronger partnership with industry, but also to inject themselves into the economic development of local municipalities by creating a holistic environment for job creation via product innovation & entrepreneurship.
In this talk, I shall first briefly discuss the current challenges before sharing my thoughts on the kind of education reform needed for the new economic era.

24 The Importance of Prescription Medicine Development: Process and Challenge 九 ﹕
Pei-Ying Kate Shen, M.P.H. Specialty Territory Consultant, Lilly USA, LLC
Every hour in the United States, there are 192 people diagnosed with cancer [1], 171 osteoporosis- related bone fractures [2], 160 people diagnosed with diabetes [3], and 70 deaths dues to heart diseases [4]. Research has proven that access to newer drugs helps increase life expectancy [5]. Prescription medicine development is a long, complex, and costly process. Only 1 of every 5,000 to 10,000 compounds studied by pharmaceutical researchers ever reaches the market. The whole process takes an average of more than 10 years and costs an average of $2.6 billion [6]. Once the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approves the medicine, it is made available to the public. Yet even a medicine hits the market, the Research and Development effort does not stop; surveillance studies to monitor the safety and efficacy of the products in broader patient population continues (Fig.1 & 2).
After all of the time and money spent on discovering and developing a new medicine, a medicine is worthless if it is not accessible to the patient that needs it. Decisions on access to a new prescription medicine should take into account the total benefit a patient will receive, including reduction of other healthcare expenditures, such as hospitalization. Taking a comprehensive and integrated approach to deliver healthcare services is key to contain healthcare costs and maximize the value of medicine.

26 Diabetes: Past, Present, and Future 「﹑ d d （ Mei-Hua Chen, MS, MPH, RDN, CDN, CDE, CNSC, CSP, Dipl (vs. Dilp) OM, LAc
Diabetes is becoming more common in the United States. From 1980 through 2014, the number of Americans with diagnosed diabetes has increased fourfold (from 5.5 million to 22.0 million), according to 2014 National Diabetes Statistics Report from CDC. When including 8.1 million people with undiagnosed diabetes then that is 1 out every 11 people has diabetes.1
Diabetes is a group of diseases marked by high level of blood glucose resulting from problems in how insulin is produced, how insulin works, or both. People with diabetes may develop serious complications such as heart disease, stroke, kidney failure, blindness, and premature death.2 Diabetes can be treated and managed by healthful eating, regular physical activity, and medications to lower blood glucose level. Another critical part of diabetes is reducing cardiovascular disease risk factors, such as high blood pressure, high lipid level, and tobacco use. Patient education and self-care practices also are important aspects of disease management that help people with diabetes stay healthy.3
There are various type of diabetes including Type 1 diabetes (previously called insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus or juvenile-onset diabetes), Type 2 diabetes (previously called non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus or adult-onset diabetes), and gestational diabetes; plus no o common types of diabetes such as maturity-onset diabetes of youth or latent autoimmune diabetes in adult.2 Over the past 50 years, there has been an enormous growth in understanding of diabetes and its complications. Diabetes care seems to have a leap with this growth, diabetes technology developments (glucose measurement, glucose monitoring, and insulin administration) and new antidiabetic medications approved to use (through oral, injection, and inhale route).4,5 Nevertheless, the population of diabetes and diabetes complication continue growing rapidly.

30 The Formation of the Present South China Sea Political Pattern 令 ？」 Frank Tang and Xiaochun Wang
Abstract
Started from the Han dynasty, Chinese government had already recorded missionaries pass through South China Sea to India and their surrounding areas to do business. Stales unearthed from Shaanxi province revealed that Yang Liangyao, who were the special envoy of Dezong Emperor, passed the South China Sea and the India Ocean, traveled to the Mesopotamia, went to the capital city of Abbasids Empire. The interactions between these two great civilisations between east and west entered to the highly intensive period in the Song and Yuan dynasties, and expended by the merchants of two in the South China Sea, boosted the communications between merchants and envoys of China and many others.
The official business activities over the sea reached its zenith during the Zheng He’s period in Ming dynasty. Yet after the death of Yongle Emperor, official business activities were replaced by the short distance activities to Okinawa. In addition, Ming dynasty seriously establish the “Haijin” policy, the Chinese in the South China sea was narrowed to the routes between ships sailing from local merchants in South China Sea to the Pearl River delta and Guangzhou. This condition sustained until the early 16th century, when Dutch came, turned the rejuvenation of the private business sectors, made significant contribution in forming the early modern South China Sea’s political pattern.
Among these sectors, Zhangzhou businessmen, who let the Portuguese to come to Asia, occupied Malacca, and to the Southeast China sea, became the first group to rise up. Due to the help of this group of people, Portuguese soon established a Southeast Asia’s trade network that stretched from Japan to the Spice Islands. They stood at Macau, rivalled with the Spanish colonists who established Philippine and a trade network between China and Mexico under the help of businessmen from Zhangzhou.
The Quanzhou businessmen replaced the leading position later. Not only they became a major maritime power stood in Kyushu and Taiwan, but also developed as a Chinese private maritime military force in rivalling with major powers like Spain, Portugal, and ones came to Asia slightly later—Dutch and British. Under the management of Zheng Zhilong and his son Zheng Chenggong, Dutch were driven away from Taiwan, established an order that prevent the southward of Japan and fully control the South China sea, which lasted until the Opium War.
The late 19th century, with France taken over Indochina, American-Spanish War, the Occupation of Philippine by American, and the Japanese occupation of Okinawa and Taiwan, the East Asia maritime order was largely changed. Before and during the two world wars, the competition between Japan, Britain, France, the United States, and Dutch in the South China Sea and the surrounding areas totally destroyed the balance in South China Sea. The Qing government and the Republic government of China still tried to restore the order and its privileges over that region. After the WWII, as a victory country,
31 according to the international settlement after the war, restored and clarified the maritime district, which was established in early modern period. After 1949, People’s Republic of China inherited this power. The current maritime claim Chinese people had is coherently associated with the maritime political order which was formed in the early modern period. Except some controversial regions such as Diaoyu Island, these claims were honoured by the United States and Japan. The international arbitration supported by the United States and Japan, which was outside the framework of the United Nations, suddenly defied the claim that Chinese people already had ever since the early modern period. Thus the Pacific Ocean can hardly pacify.

37 On Behavioral Insights of Wearables for Coaching Advises
Henry Chang, PhD, Yu Cheng, PhD, James Codella, PhD, Chohreh Partovian, MD & PhD, Ching-Hua Chen, PhD Center of Computational Healthcare IBM T.J. Watson Research
Mitigating some globally emerging health problems such as obesity needs scalable solutions that can promote healthier lifestyles outside of clinical settings. Such scalable solutions, while targeting general population, need to automatically provide personalized behavior change suggestions that fit an individual’s preferences and needs. There has been fast- growing development of sensor devices and health applications for continuous monitoring of human behavior (such as physical activity and food intake) and health status such as weight and heart rate variability. However, there are considerable challenges to translate these noisy and dynamic population behavioral data into crowd-source coaching insights for personalized planning. The data challenges come from the consumer device grade missing values and outliers in data, which result in modeling and computational difficulties and possible machine learning bias due to distortion of the data distribution. Even with a precise dynamic behavior model for an individual, there considerable context challenges regarding how to identify the optimal planning solutions that are not only supported by the dynamic model, but also fit individual’s preferences and human behavior’s personal context.
The standard scenario of application interaction is: given a user (called target user) with his/her health management goal, the system will automatically generate insights based on other users’ records of actions leading to achievement of similar goals. The health management goal here can be “lose weight”, “improve running endurance” etc. The overall framework consists of three steps. In the first step, the user cohort set will be represented as a n m user-behavior matrix, where n is the number of users and m is the number of behaviors. Then the whole cohort will be segmented into several sub- cohorts based on the demographics information and behavior similarity via the method proposed in[2]. The second step is to map the target user to one of the segmented sub-cohorts by similarity matching and his/her goal. The third step consists of a labelled topic modeling approach [1], which can generate insights as topics from the user- behavior matrix. The generated insights will be used to guide the target user to achieve his/her health management goal. decent amount of calories consumed from food with less activities, while another category is the opposite, probably reflecting the fact that the population’s
38 behavioral patterns can be shaped by these guidelines. These results from exploring sample data encourage us to pursue better and more personalized guidelines to help shape the population’s behavioral patterns towards healthier lifestyles.

The Smart Home – Trends and Challenges 『 Ping-Tsai Chung Long Island University, Brooklyn, New York E-mail: [email protected]
Smart home networking platform is a family of results, the trend in computer technology, automation technology and communication technology. New trend of smart home involve a range of Internet of Things (IoT) devices that can communicate each other and be controlled, remote monitored and accessed through user interfaces and through automatic interactions to provide a more comfortable, safe, convenient, energy efficient living environment services to enhance human’s quality of life. Gartner Predicted that there could be over 500 connected devices in the home by 2022 [1], Smart devices may involve Smart meters, Security systems, Alarms, Sensors, Appliances, Audio/Visual entertainment, Lighting, Heat and Power, Communication.
From the point of form of products, smart home involves the following three evolutional stages: The first stage is Single Product Intelligence, for example, intelligent routers, wisdom lighting, smart meter, smart security package etc. The second stage is The Linkage of Different Products, for example, a small-scale eco-system that can realize the linkage between their own different products, such as doors and windows for security sensor interactively switching different smart sensors: smart lights, smart doors, and smart windows, etc. The third stage is Systematic Intelligent which involves cross-product data exchange and further processed information communications interactively; the control information will be translated into active behavior, without user interference, for example, a smart bed discovers that you sweat; it notifies the air conditioning to automatically start.
From the control point of view, smart home involves the following four developmental stages: The first stage: the phone control, the design principles are not for user interaction, allowing users to ownership, improve product and for the user to share their concerns. Which does not require the user interaction is a very important point, to help users start a comfortable life, but not to attract their attentions. The second stage is using A Variety of Control, in addition to the phone control; there are other controls such as touch control, speech control, and gesture control. The third stage is Sensor Control, the real intelligence should be invisible unfeeling, but ubiquitous, for example people come, light up, and people left, light off. The fourth stage is Self- learning System; Change from passive to active smart home is an evolutionary path. It requires a lot of sensors such as temperature sensor, light sensor, proximity sensor, heart rate sensor, etc. Internet connectivity and standard, multifunctional, elements present an opportunity that is being seized by Telecoms and Utilities to offer a range of “connected smart home” solutions. With the IoT, the smart home market will move to the “ubiquitous smart home” – where sophisticated systems learn user behaviour/lifestyle and respond accordingly (see Figure 1). In Figure 2, it lists IEEE Standards for a connected smart home; they will enable your gadgets to talk to each other.
40 Figure 1. (Cited from BSRIA) Home Automation Evolution: Past, Present and Future.
Figure 2. IEEE Standards for a Connected Home, they will enable your gadgets to talk to each other [2].
One of the challenges for home automation is that so many objectives in the home can benefit from smart technology, leading to fragmentation in the industry. In [3] a survey conducted for October – November 2015 by Centercode, of respondents who own at least one smart home product, 72% own a climate control device (i.e., Smart Thermostat, Smart Air Conditioning), making it the most popular category. 53% own a security device (Cameras, Smart Locks, Smart
41 Alarms) which is the second popular category. The other categories are listed below: 52% AUDIO / VISUAL (Smart Television, Smart Speakers), 46% LIGHTING (Smart Lightbulbs, Smart Light Switches), 32% HUB (Smart Remote, Control Units), 28% RESOURCE MANAGEMENT (Smart Power Outlets, Smart Garage, Smart Sprinkler), and 9% APPLIANCES (Smart Washer / Dryer, Smart Oven, Smart Fridge).
In the spring of 2015 Icontrol Networks [4] surveyed 1,600 consumers (1,000 from the United States and 600 from Canada) that 90% of customers say personal and family security remains one of the top reasons to purchase a smart home system, 70% say they are excited about the potential cost savings from energy efficiency and monitoring. Consumers want smart devices that automate themselves! “Devices doing it on their own.” About 60% of consumers want their devices to use data, analytics and sensors to work on their own. However, if the devices are unable to automate themselves, voice-controlled settings and the ability to give instructions via text message are next best scenarios from a consumer point of view. We asked consumers: If one device could read your mind and operate itself, what would it be? Consumers say they most want the indoor lighting system to read their minds, with nearly twice as many selecting this over any other option. 10% of consumers selected the coffee pot appliance as the number one device they would want to read their mind. The washer/dryer was the third most popular device listed among consumers with 9% selecting this as the top device they wish could read their mind and operate itself.
Now, let’s examine today’s obstacles for Smart Homes. The first obstacle is interoperability concerns. Can your devices talk to each other? TODAY’S so-called smart homes aren’t so smart—they are mostly a collection of piecemeal systems, with each addressing only one specific need. The systems, primarily controlled by mobile apps, don’t yet talk to one other and can’t intuitively anticipate your needs. They just scratch the surface of what’s possible. While cost has historically been the most significant barrier to smart home adoption, a number of new obstacles have emerged raising consumer concerns [2]. The second obstacle is privacy/data concerns. Your data belongs to you! Your privacy belongs to you! Consumers say their number one concern about the smart home is the possibility of a data breach: 71% of consumers share the fear that their personal information may get stolen. In fact, consumers say they are more worried about this than they are worried about the cost of the technology. Other top consumer concerns include: fear that their data will be collected and sold (64%) and fear that their smart home technology will have too many bugs (57%) [4]. The third obstacle is security concerns. For examples, for wireless Home Automation Systems, we may have Insecure User Interface, Insufficient Authentication/Authorization, Insecure Network Services, Lack of Transport Encryption, Insufficient Security Configurability and Poor Physical Security. Traditional complex cryptographic algorithms (e.g., public key cryptography) that seem effective to handle most security issues may not be suitable for sensors because of their lesser power and processing capabilities [5]. Therefore, we should develop new protocols which will be able to effectively solve most of the security and privacy problems for the wireless Home Automation Systems. In [6], it points out the shortcomings of existing home automation systems in identifying and preventing sophisticated intruders in a home environment. For future research work for home automation security, we should develop behavior prediction and advanced sensing parameters for smart homes that can help to identify and prevent skilled and sophisticated intruders.

48 Comparisons of Cognitive and Motivational Characteristics among
Mathematics Gifted High School Students in China
Yana He
St. John’s University, New York, U.S.A. E-mail: [email protected]
The purpose of this study was to conduct quantitative non-experimental research to examine the perceived cognitive and motivational characteristics in math problem solving of high school students across gender in China. Participants of the study have been identified as academically gifted, creatively talented, and non-gifted in mathematics. Specifically, the study examined main and interaction effects of the type of giftedness and gender in students’ perceived ability, effort expenditure, value, and self-efficacy in math problem solving situations. Descriptive statistics, multivariate analyses of variance (MANOVA) and univariate analyses of variance (ANOVA) were conducted to answer the research questions. Results of the study indicated that the group and gender main effects were statistically significant in the multivariate analyses. Male students reported higher math ability scores than female students in the creatively talented group. The ANOVA indicated that group-gender interaction effect was found only in the math effort. Tests of simple effects for gender on math effort indicated female students put more math effort than male students in creatively talented group. Tests of simple effects for the group indicated that male students in academically gifted group had a higher mean effort score compared to male students in creatively talented group.

49 Art and Art Education: Digital Painting and Video Art
Catherine Lan ( )
Yale School of Art, Artist Diploma from National Higher School of Art of Paris, and Bachelors in oil painting from Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing. [email protected] New Media Arts is a new way of making that associates with the use of computer, programming, digital and new technologies that are distinguished from the traditional visual art, music, dance, and theatre. It can also be fused with the traditional media or forms, which becomes inter-disciplinary art. Some examples include: visual arts, animation, film, and electronic music. With the invention of Facebook, YouTube, Wikipedia, online games etc., a new type of self-learning is experienced by a large number of people, and has become a cultural phenomenon. I have selected three artists, Albert Oehlen, Martin Kippenberger and Keltie Ferris, who has either used digital medium as material that fuses with the idea of painting, or simply make paintings that reflect the idea of the digital world that we are immersed in today. Some are prints that can be argued as paintings, others are installations made from everyday objects that transforms into an enlargement of a computer chip. I will involve everyone in a small art activity followed by introducing the basics of Photoshop. Finally, I will show three videos that I made recently that experiment with different creative potentials of video making: ‘Mist of Lights and Shades’ plays with the word “cut” and juxtaposes painting and performance with motion design; ‘Journey’ fuses cutting sounds, transparency, textures with landscape and found sources from YouTube; “The Search” experiments with jump cut edits from Final Cut. Short Bio of the Presenter
Speaker: Catherine Lan, “When I cut, the fur is like my body. For me, the process of cutting means constantly looking for the intrinsic nature of painting by continuously going reverse – backward in the continuous passage of time.”
Catherine Lan was born in Taipei, Taiwan in 1980. Currently a doctoral student in Art and Art Education at Teachers College, Columbia University, she obtained MFA, Painting/Printmaking from Yale University (2007-2009), Artist Diploma from National Higher School of Art in Paris (2003-2006), and Bachelors in Oil Painting from Central Academy of Fine Arts, Beijing (1999-03). She is the recipient of 'Queens Council on the Arts Grant for Individual Artists' (2015), and received the Andrea Frank Foundation Sanyu Scholarship Fund from Yale University (2008-2010). Currently based in Queens, New York, Lan explores the idea of painting possibilities with themes such as ‘Floral’, ‘Landscapes’ with dyed cut faux fur. Instead of adding paint, Lan uses a technique she terms "eliminating": she cuts with scissors to produce relief-like "paintings. The process is spontaneous and irreversible, reflecting the fact that "nothing can go back."
Her video 'Mist of Lights and Shades' (2015) explores the idea of cutting and the word 'cut', which means to play, act or sing for a recording, the waterfall in the landscape is played in reverse, playing with the idea of the reversal of time. Her recent video 'Journey' (2016) experiments with the sounds of cutting, while 'The Search' (2016) plays with the jump cut editing process. She continues to explore with ideas of elimination, materiality and its reversal.
Catherine Lan is also an art educator, she has been teaching in colleges and public schools New York, Taipei and Beijing since 2010 until present. Her pedagogy includes: Abstract Art, Drawing, Digital Art, Figurative Art, Installation, Mixed-Media Art, Painting/Collage, and Performance Art.

52 TPP as the U.S. Pivot to Asia Pacific and the Window of Opportunity for Taiwan
Dr. Peter C.Y. Chow Department of Economics, City University of New York
Abstract
The Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) which concluded in February 2016 was adopted by the APEC, together with the ongoing negotiation of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) as the pathways to the Free Trade Area in the Asia Pacific (FTAAP). It is part of U.S. strategic pivot to Asia because of economic and security nexus (Cheng and Chow, 2015). Therefore, the TPP is a “must “for the rebalance to Asia for the U.S which has been and still is a Pacific power. Hence, it is essential for the TPP to enlarge its membership to the rest of other APEC members so as to increase its sphere of influence and to reach the long term objective of the FTAAP.
On the other hand, Taiwan has been frustrated by cumulative international isolation which has barred it from signing as many Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) as she wishes. Facing tendency of being marginalized from the emerging regional trade blocs, Taiwan has a strong aspiration to join the both TPP and RCEP if it is granted the opportunity.
The TPP will invite the “liked minded” APEC members to join after it is ratified by the legislatives in the current 12 member states. Therefore, if the TPP is ratified by more than 6 members which accounts for more than 85% of the total GDP of its current members, then Taiwan will apply for its membership in the second round. Among the most likely candidates for the second round members, Taiwan is the “natural trading partner” for the U.S., much more so than any others (Chow, 2016). Therefore, it is to the economic and strategic interests of the U.S. to invite Taiwan to join the TPP as soon as it is ready. Hence, the TPP is the most promising window of opportunity for Taiwan to integrate with the region without being marginalized by its cumulative isolation in international arena.
This paper analyzes U.S. economic and strategic interests by inviting Taiwan to join the TPP and Taiwan’s statecraft in bidding the TPP membership. Whether to include Taiwan in the TPP or not will not only greatly determine its future path of development, but also the growth and stability in the region. Needless to say, Taiwan itself need to engage in structural reform domestically, and will have to keep its eyes open for the RCEP diplomatically if is inked in the near future.

54 Economic Impact of UAV/UAS in U.S. economy
Dr. Rex Wong Engineering and Technology, Vaughn College
Abstract
In the wake of the rapid development of robotic and autonomous systems, and their applications, the momentum of adapting these kinds of systems in the industry as well as our daily life has aroused our concern about its impact on our society and the world on a global level. The most concern is the economic impact which affects the traditional methods of production, distribution, as well as the services. Many factory workers worry about that they may lose their jobs due to the factory automation devices; others worry robots can replace them as service personnel as in gas stations, department stores, supermarket, or restaurants. Among these vast robotic charging horde, one of most impetuous actor is the UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) or UAS (unmanned aerial systems), whose imminent status of explosion needs an immediate attention, due to its huge business opportunities and legal issues involved in their adaptation. UAV/UAS are already being used in many applications, and many more areas will benefit by their use, such as Wildfire mapping; Agricultural monitoring; Disaster management; Thermal infrared power line surveys; Law enforcement; Telecommunication; Weather monitoring; Aerial imaging/mapping; Television news coverage, sporting events, moviemaking; Environmental monitoring; Oil and gas exploration; and Freight transport. Due to its enormous market potential, Amazon and Google, as well as Face book, have invested tremendous amount of capital to seize the “pie” of UAV market, not only using UAV for their delivery of their goods or services, but also directly invested in the research, development and production of the UAVs themselves.
How much this new emerging UAV technology might impact on our economy? 1. The economic impact of the integration of UAV or UAS into the airspace of United States will total more than $13.6 billion in the first three years and will grow sustainably for the foreseeable future, cumulating to more than $82.1 billion between 2015 and 2025; 2. It will create more than 34,000 manufacturing jobs and more than 70,000 new jobs in the first three years; by 2025, total job creation is estimated at 103,776; 3. The manufacturing jobs created will be high paying ($40,000) and require some technical baccalaureate degrees (BS); 4. Tax revenue to the states will total more than $482 million in the first 11 years following integration (2015-2025); and every year that integration is delayed, the United States loses more than $10 billion in potential economic impact. This translates to a loss of $27.6 million per day that if UAV/UAS are not integrated into the national airspace of United States.
The main obstacle of U.S. commercial and civil development of the UAS is the lack of a regulatory structure. Because of current airspace restrictions set by FAA, non-defense use of UAV/ UAS has been extremely limited. With sensible regulations in place, we foresee few
55 limitations to rapid growth in these industries. These products use off-the-shelf technology and thus impose few problems to rapidly ramping up production. The parts of the UAV can be purchased from more than 100 different suppliers; therefore, prices will be stable and competitive. UAV have a durable life span of approximately 11 years and are relatively easy to maintain. In summary, there are no production problems on the horizon that will impact the manufacturing and output of this product. Most of the barriers of potential usage are laid on the governmental and regulatory.

56 The Alternatives to EU and Economic Impact of Brexit
Dr. Johnson Tseng St John’s University
Abstract
To be or not to be EU (European Union) membership referendum is important not only to the United Kingdom (UK), but also to the rest of the world. On June 23, 2016, UK people vote in favor of leaving EU by a majority of 51.9%. A UK exit (Brexit) will have immediate and long- term shock to the UK economy, creating instability and uncertainty which would be compounded by the complex negotiations that would follow. The impact of this profound shock would affect UK economy such as GDP, employment, trade, FDI, and so on.
The purpose of the paper is to highlight alternatives to EU membership and the possible impact on UK economy.
If UK votes to leave the EU, then it would take time to negotiate new agreements with EU. The paper provides examples of non-EU countries having other relationships with EU. In other words, we show alternative models of relationship to the EU. There are three possible major models: EEA (Norway), bilateral agreements (EFTA (Switzerland), FTA (Canada), CU (Turkey)), and WTO membership. These models offer different balances of advantages, obligations and influences.
The rest of the paper will introduce some empirical studies of the long-term effects of Brexit on UK economy, mainly real GDP. These studies include, but not limited to, HM Treasury, OECD, CBI/PwC, and LSE/CEP under different scenarios.

60 Smart Architecture: Overview of the Additive Manufacturing
Bin Lei
MEM, Drexel University, Philadelphia Email: [email protected]
This presentation will focus on the applications of the additive maturating in architectural engineering, including current applications in the industry, limitations of the current technologies, and a forward thinking of the prospective developments.
Additive manufacturing is the technologies that fabricate 3D objects by adding layer-over-layers of material, including plastic, metal, concrete, and living tissue. Additive maturating has brought an Industrial revolution upon various fields, including designers, manufacturers, and constructors. Additive manufacturing is frequently used as a visualization tool, such as rapid prototyping. More recently, additive manufactured parts are being used as an essential component of end-user products: The SpaceX launched the rocket with the printed engine chamber to the space in 2014 [1]; Chinese built 3D printed house assembled from 6 of the printed house modules in 2015 [2]; MIT researchers from the Media Lab developed a high-temperature system that prints transparent glass in 2015 [3]. These development efforts have demonstrated that additive manufacturing has been becoming a viable alternative to the conventional manufacturing.
Additive manufacturing embraces the communication in a design project, lower the cost a manufacturing, and provide the flexibility to manufacture from a free form and parametric design. Despite the advantages of additive manufacturing, the real world applications are still limited due to precision of end products, applicable source materials, and most importantly, safeties and structural integrities. A collaboration effort between designers, engineers, and constructors is required in order to solve the problems.

Hudson Yards Developments & No.7 Subway Line Extension
Jerry S.Y. Cheng Retired Principal City Planner, NYC Dept. Of City Planning (NYCDCP) Former Deputy Director, Transportation Division, NYCDCP ABSTRACT
Hudson Yards Development is the largest and most dramatic private real estate development and urban renewal effort in the history of the United States, with an expectation of over 24 million people visiting the site annually. Some of the plans include over 17 million square feet of commercial and residential space and 14 acres of public open space, with as much as 40 million square feet of new development by 2025.
There are three major special features of this historical effort:
1. Underutilized industrial land is being transformed into a major commercial/residential city center. Hudson Yards is an existing at-grade city rail yard for storing commuter trains during the midday. For years, the area around Hudson Yards has resembled a wasteland, peppered with transportation-related spaces (e.g.: parking lots, garages, car dealerships, auto repair shops, access ramps to Lincoln Tunnel, and the open Amtrak Empire Line railroad cut etc.).
2. Most of the new developments will be constructed over the existing at-grade railroad yard on massive platforms.
3. Unprecedented in NYC history, a $2.4 billion subway extension was built with NYC funds to serve as a catalyst for the development of Hudson Yards and its surrounding area. Nearly the entire Hudson Yards area would be within a ten minute walk of the new subway station, the line for which is a cross-town one that connects to almost every other subway line, making the Hudson Yards area easily accessible for all residents, commuters and visitors.
The No.7 subway line extension was completed and opened for service on September 13, 2015. Currently, over seven million square feet of development has been underway.
This presentation will provide the history and progress of this major effort in New York City.

Operational Improvement Analysis of Adding a Continuous Auxiliary Lane between the Entrance Ramp and Exit Ramp (EN-EX) Terminals on Freeways
Jack Chung-Kuo Chiang, Ph.D., P.E. New York State Department of Transportation
Operational efficiency may be improved and obtained by using a continuous auxiliary lane between the entrance and exit terminals where interchanges are closely spaced in urban areas. The auxiliary lanes can improve traffic operation over relatively short section of the freeway routes while it is not considered as an additional to the basic number of lanes. When the distance between the successive noses is less than 1,500ft, the speed-change lanes (acceleration/deceleration) should be connected to provide an auxiliary lane.
An auxiliary lane is defined by AASHTO as the portion of the roadway adjoining the traveled way for speed change, turning, weaving, truck climbing, maneuvering of entering and exiting traffic, and other purposes supplementary to through-traffic movements. Auxiliary lanes are used to balance the traffic load and maintain a more uniform and balanced level of service on the highway. Merging and diverging movements can be an intense and dangerous driving turbulence, to alleviate this hazard a simple and effective way is to providing an auxiliary lane that connected between on and off ramps, allows drivers a safe way to change lanes while preventing bottlenecks caused by drivers attempting to enter or exit the freeway.
The EB LIE (I-495) mainline between Francis Lewis Boulevard and the Cross Island Parkway (CIP) experiences significant congestion and delay with average speeds less than 20 mph during typical AM and PM peak hours. It has been noted that the percentage of trucks is as high as 35% on the section of the EB LIE between Clearview Expressway (CVE) and CIP during the midday period (11am to 2pm). A large number of trucks traveling from the Bronx cross the Throgs Neck Bridge and follow CVE to the LIE, since the CVE is a major truck route to and from Long Island region. The high volume of truck traffic is one of the main reasons that contribute to relatively low speed and congestion and delay on the LIE section between CVE and CIP; the increasing in truck traffic on this section has worsen congestion condition.
The NYSDOT is considering adding an auxiliary lane where feasible and appropriate. The operational improvements in traffic operation, safety, capacity, mobility, level of service, benefit and cost ratio, etc. need to be carefully studied before its implementation to ensure that the project development decision for the implementation of an auxiliary lane on freeways is a cost effective and prudent strategy.
This study evaluated the LIE segment between Oceania Street Bridge and Springfield Blvd. Bridge in Queens County, by adding an auxiliary lane between an on-ramp and off-ramp junction. The analyses were performed with the 2010 Edition of the Highway Capacity Software (HCS2010, Release 6.65), which follows the procedure prescribed in Chapters 12 and 13 of the 2010 Edition of the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM).
77
Operational Analysis Results (HCS2010, Release 6.65)
Freeway Ramp Merge and Diverge (Before/Existing) EB Direction AM Peak LOS =E SMS= 45.3 mph PM Peak LOS =F SMS=45.6 mph
WB Direction AM Peak LOS=E SMS=44.5 mph PM Peak LOS=E SMS=46.0 mph
LOS: Level of Service; SMS: Space Mean Speed
Freeway Ramp Weaving (After/Proposed) EB Direction AM Peak LOS=E Speed=42.4 mph Density=39.3 pc/mi/ln PM Peak LOS=E Speed=43.6 mph Density=36.3 pc/mi/ln
WB Direction AM Peak LOS=E Speed=40.2 mph Density=42.5 pc/mi/ln PM Peak LOS=E Speed=43.6 mph Density=36.3 pc/mi/ln
The results show that adding an auxiliary lane at a freeway segment between on-ramp and off- ramp junctions with the level of service stays about the same or slightly improved. It will reduce the traffic density owing to added auxiliary travel lanes. The added auxiliary will not only make it easier and safer for drivers to merge into or diverge out freeways but it also reduces traffic congestion and delays.

Parking Issues in Urban Centers: Urban Parking Policy and Parking Management
Jack Chung-Kuo Chiang, Ph.D., P.E. New York State Department of Transportation
“Parking Problems” in Urban Centers
Increased traffic congestion is making it tougher and tougher to get around on our roads and streets. To make things worse, when we finally reach our destination, we often can not find a place to park. Driving to an urban center is often difficult and finding a parking space is more difficult. Finding a legal space on the street can be time-consuming and the alternative of parking in a garage is often very expensive, especially if we are driving to Manhattan.
Parking is one of the most controversial and difficult problems which we are facing today. Since the more we drive, the more traffic is generated. More driving and traffic means greater parking demand and the simple truth is that after every road trip, there must be a place to park our vehicle.
In most urban areas, parking “problems” have become more and more critical over the past several decades. Increasing urban development results in increasing traffic volumes. Parking supply facilities have not always increased capacity to keep pace with the increasing parking demand and to meet parking needs. ‘Not enough or insufficient parking spaces’ or ‘parking demand exceeds parking supply’ is one of our biggest parking problems.
What is Adequate Parking Supply?
Before we can answer this tough question, it is best for us to conduct a comprehensive parking study. A parking study is a set of survey techniques which provide traffic engineers and planners with basic information upon which parking policies; planning, designs, operations and management decisions can be based on. It generally focuses on the following three aspects:
• Parking Supply / Inventory of Facilities: determining the existing parking supply by amount, type of facility, and location. • Parking Usage: determining the usage characteristics of existing facilities, such as parking durations, turnover rates, location, etc. • Parking Demand: analyzing and studying of existing demand pattern and forecast future demands due to new or future development.
In urban centers with a population of 25,000 or more and an overall evaluation of Central Business District (CBD) parking is required, it is better to perform a comprehensive parking study. The parking study generally spans 8 to 16 hours periods of the typical weekday (Wednesday) and typical weekend (Saturday). Based on the above studies for specific urban cities, we can then use comprehensive parking study recommendations to develop overall parking strategies, plans and policies for that urban city.
80
Based on the TRB (Transportation Research Board) Special Report, the following tables illustrate parking facilities by type and operation of parking facilities by type.
Parking Facility by Type Urban Population Curb Lot Garage Parking Spaces (%) Parking Spaces (%) Parking Spaces (%) 10,000 – 25,000 79 21 0 25,000 – 50, 000 74 24 2 50,000 – 100,000 68 31 1 100,000 – 250,000 52 42 6 250,000 – 500,000 54 34 12 500,000 – 1,000,000 33 39 28 Over 1,000,000 30 54 16

What is the Government’s Role in Parking? The government plays a key role in establishing and implementing parking policies, rules and regulations like: to facilitate and maintain urban functions, to provide sound infrastructures for sustainable development, to promote economic and business opportunity, and to achieve a better quality of life for general public.
Managed and balanced parking strategies will foster the controlled parking demand, decrease traffic and pollution, revitalize center business districts (CBD), create safe and friendly pedestrian shopping areas, make more land available for productive uses or for recreation and open spaces.
According to the NJ Parking Authority, the average cost for supplying and supporting urban parking space is quite high. Construction of a surface parking lot at $1,400 per space, elevated deck parking at $10,000 per space, and underground parking at $21,000 per space, plus annual operation and maintenance at $400 per space that will be a financial burden if all parking facilities are owned and run by government. Therefore, a balanced and adequate involvement through public and private partnership is essential. For example, government can make Zoning or Building Code changes to reduce parking requirements, congestion parking pricing to charge more during peak driving hours for parking, provide transit passes or transportation allowance to employees, reserved parking space for carpools/vanpools to reduce parking demand.
Parking Policy in Urban Centers with Extensive Transit Services
81
An ideal parking policy must be very clear, concise, and comprehensive to all stake holders including the public, private and the general public. It should achieve its established parking goals of encouraging maximum use of public transportation system, reducing traffic congestion, better management of parking demand and supply, promoting economic development, improving environmental quality, meeting driver travel and parking needs, modifying driver travel behavior, and flexibility to specific urban situations.
The following table shows a comparison of ‘Inexpensive or Free Parking’ and ‘Managed/Controlled Parking’ in parking policy. Inexpensive / Free Parking Managed / Controlled Parking
• Increases traffic congestion • Improves traffic flow • Increases air pollution • Improves air quality • Encourages driving alone instead using • Reduces vehicle trips and travel miles available public transit • Increases transit use, carpools, • Valuable land used for parking vanpools, walking and cycling • Decreases employer and developer costs • Cleaner air, water and land
The best parking policy for New York City must align with Long-Term Planning and Sustainability initiative goals which are promoted by Mayor Michael Bloomberg. We fully support Councilmember John Liu on Downtown Flushing’s suggested parking plan below: • To keep the cost for parking fee at Flushing Commons below market rate. • To keep the number of parking spaces as high as possible.
Off-street Parking vs. On-street Parking Off-street facilities can be categorized by a number of different factors, including: • Private vs. public operation • Surface lot vs. garage structures • Self-park vs. attendant park operation • Metered vs. pay-as-you leave/enter operation On-street parking or curb parking may be categorized to parallel and angle parking with metered or non-metered.
Parking Smart Tips: • Always check the signs before you park. On both sides of every street in New York you will find red and white signs with the parking rules for the particular section of the street. Each block has its own restrictions. The three main types of restriction signs are: No Parking, No Standing and No Stopping. Police have become much stricter about issuing parking tickets. Therefore, make sure your parking space is legal; otherwise you will get a ticket. • Never park in a Tow Away Zone because your car will be towed. • Sunday meter regulations are no longer in effect. In accordance with legislation enacted by the City Council, beginning November 13, 2005, parking meters and Muni-meters no

longer have to be paid on Sundays. You can park at meters on Sunday without paying. (But few exemptions in Manhattan, read sign first) • With approximately 110,000 parking spaces, New York City is the largest operator of street parking facilities in the US. The city issues over 14 million parking summonses a year and the city tows over 800 vehicles a day for outstanding parking violations. • There are four municipal parking lots in Downtown Flushing for your short-tem and long-term parking needs.
Flushing Lot #1 Flushing Lot #2 Flushing Lot #3 Flushing Lot #4 Number of Spaces Number of Spaces Number of Spaces Number of Spaces 1101 spaces 89 spaces 157 spaces 93 spaces (including 21 (including 4 handicap (including 6 handicap (including 3 handicap handicap spaces) spaces) spaces) spaces) Location: Location: Location: Location: Block bounded by Price Street, between 41 Avenue, near Northern Blvd, 39th/37th street 38th/39th Street Flushing LIRR between College Pt. 138th and Union Street Station Blvd /Prince Street
On-street Parking Issues On-street parking must consider the following priority needs before curb spaces permit for on- street parking use:
• Emergencies: Fire, Emergency Medical Services • Safety: Hydrant, Intersection • Public Transportation: Bus Stops • Commercial / Goods Delivery • Taxi Services • Traffic Other curb parking issues such as: broken meters, no space for loading and unloading, double parking on streets reduce capacity and pose hazard, illegal parking by abused permit holders, Chinatown to Chinatown local commuter vans, Casino Buses, Chinatown to Chinatown Intercity Buses, stolen cars, crimes, etc. need to be deal with.
Innovative Parking Guidance System (PGS) and Parking Information System (PIS) In the near future, real-time parking information will become a major component of an efficient parking management system. An off-street parking information web site has been operated by NYCDCP. Utilize Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) to direct drivers to available parking spaces thru PGS and PIS technology, VMS (Various Message Signs) and in-vehicle navigation systems thus reducing traffic and increasing parking convenience for drivers. Suggestions/Recommendations • A comprehensive parking study should be conduct every five to ten years for urban centers. • Managed and balanced parking demand and supply should be accomplished. • ITS technology application for parking guidance system and parking information system should be implemented to mitigate traffic congestion as early as possible. • Effective parking policies and parking management strategies should be reviewed accordingly.
