Building the blueprint of life.

Accenture helps London develop a blueprint for transforming the way it delivers service to citizens by building an intelligent city

I-49: Human Y Chromosome ProteomeProject

The success of the Human Genome Project (HGP) has provided a blueprint for the approximately 20,000 gene-encoded proteins potentially active in all of the hundreds of cell types that make up the human body. Yet we still have limited knowledge about a majority of the gene-encoded proteins which are the “building blocks of life” and “cellular machinery”. It is estimated that for nearly half of th...

Enumerating A3(2) Blueprints, and an Application

1. Definitions 2. Enumerating Blueprints 3. Applications References We present an enumeration scheme for all blueprints of an A2(p) building (with p prime). We then provide a computer based proof that the e An(Q 2) buildings do not conform to a blueprint for n 3. J. Tits ([1955b; 1955a; 1956]; see the introduction of [Tits 1974] for a historical discussion) introduced buildings in an attempt to...

Study of the Service-life Factor and its Effects on Safety and Economic Considerations in Building Design

In the current engineering practices, buildings are commonly designed for an effective lifetime of 50 years. This lifetime can increase the cost of buildings with short lifetimes and can reduce the safety level of buildings with large lifetimes. In this paper, a “service-life factor” has been defined. Applying this factor into the nominal values of live, earthquake, wind, and snow loads, the ef...

Energy life cycle analysis of a residential building with the help of BIM in different climates of Iran

With energy resource scarcity and energy crisis in the world, energy efficiency has become a subject of great importance. In warm and humid climates as well as cold and mountainous ones, annual energy consumption is too high to achieve desirable living conditions in built environments, and hence energy efficiency measures and practices in such buildings is of utmost priority. Given the direct r...
