Beware of snowy roofs!

Thermal Behavior of Domed Roofs, Case Study: Historical Dome-Shaped Roofs of Isfahan

Surveying the roofs of Rome

This study is aimed at investigating a portion of the city of Rome by means of remotely sensed Multispectral Infrared And Visible Imaging Spectrometer (MIVIS) data. A particular attention was devoted to building roofs described not only as the last defining touch given to a building, the aesthetic conclusion to a whole construction process, but also as expression and sign of a society’s level o...

Thermal analysis of vaulted roofs

In hot arid regions, cooling buildings by passive techniques is very important regarding energy saving and the need to keep clean the environment. In such areas, domed and vaulted roofs are widely used for centuries, such as in the Middle East region and central part of Iran. In this article analysis is made to explore east–west direction of wind flow around north–south vaulted roofs and flat r...

Roofs and Convexity

Convex roof extensions are widely used to create entanglement measures in quantum information theory. The aim of the article is to present some tools which could be helpful for their treatment. Sections 2 and 3 introduce into the subject. It follows descriptions of the Wootters’ method, of the “subtraction procedure”, and examples on how to use symmetries.
