Case Studies of Successful Technology Transfer from Federal
Laboratories presents a case study protocol and analyses of nine
technology transfer success stories across federal agencies and
their research laboratories to begin to fill a gap in the existing
literature where there is less available research on the impact and
the mechanisms of technology transfer from federal labs. The goal
is to present a methodology for doing case studies of technology
transfer from federal laboratories and showcase a group of case
studies done using that methodology. In addition to providing rich
insights into different technology transfer processes, analysis
across case studies with the same methodology allows one to begin
to draw conclusions about similarities and differences in the
mechanisms and conditions leading to successful technology transfer
from national laboratories.

Cities Interrupted explores the potential of visual culture - in
the form of photography, film, performance, architecture, urban
design, and mixed media - to strategically interrupt processes of
globalization in contemporary urban spaces. Looking at cities such
as Amsterdam, Beijing, Doha, London, New York, and Paris, the book
brings together original essays to reveal how the concept of
'interruption' in global cities enables new understanding of the
forms of space, experience, and community that are emerging in
today's rapidly transforming urban environments. The idea of
'interruption' addressed in this book refers to deliberate
interventions in the spaces and communities of contemporary cities
- interventions that seek to disrupt or destabilize the experience
of everyday urban life through creative practice. Interruption is
used as an analytic and conceptual tool to challenge - and explore
alternatives to - the narratives of speed, hyper-mobility, rapid
growth, and incessant exchange and flow that have dominated
critical thinking on global cities. Bringing art and creative
practice into the centre of discussions about the future of cities,
alongside discussions of development, design, justice, health,
sustainability, technology, and citizenship, this book is essential
reading for anyone working at the intersections of a range of
urban, cultural and visual fields, including urban studies, urban
design and architecture, visual studies, cultural studies, media
studies, art history, and social and cultural geography.
