Simulating Desert Scenery

An algorithm for simulating wind-ripples and moving sand is extended by the detection of fixed objects. This permits us simulation and animation of sand interacting with objects like houses, highways, cactuses, etc. Sand is accumulated on the windward side of an obstacle and the sand relocation and wind-ripples formation is diminished on the leeward side. The wind shadow depends on the object’s...

Ensuring cleanliness in operating theatres.

High cleanliness of a hospital environment is necessary to ensure safe working conditions for the medical staff, a correct process of hospitalization and to protect hospital visitors, an aspect rarely mentioned. A supply of air cleaned in highly-effective air filters to hospital wards with air conditioning systems and exhaust of infected air will help in maintaining the required standards of cl...

Acoustic Design of Theatres Applying Genetic Algorithms

An optimization system based on genetic algorithms (GAs) simulating an evolutionary feedback for the design of theatres was developed. The first GA model was an optimization of the walls and the ceiling of a hall of the wide-shoebox type. The second model was an optimization of reflectors for a fan shaped outdoor theatre. The final results show that the optimized forms from both models are comp...
