Xavier Hall was a timber structured building for auditorium and believers’ hall designed by Togo Murano Architect Office, built in 1949 the property of Nobori-cho Catholic Church Hiroshima, widely known as “Memorial Cathedral World Peace.” The is important inquiring design process Cathedral, because it had fundamental influence on site-composition religious complex whole. In this paper, based c...

A multiscale morphological dilation-erosion smoothing operation and its associated scale-space expansion for multidimensional signals are proposed. Properties of this smoothing operation are developed and, in particular a scale-space monotonic property for signal extrema is demonstrated. Scale-space ngerprints from this approach have advantages over Gaussian scale-space ngerprints in that they:...

Zinc oxide (ZnO) and bacteriorhodopsin (bR) hybrid nanostructures were fabricated by immobilizing bR on ZnO thin films and ZnO nanorods. The morphological and spectroscopic analysis of the hybrid structures confirmed the ZnO thin film/nanorod growth and functional properties of bR. The photoactivity results of the bR protein further corroborated the sustainability of its charge transport proper...

TiO2/WOx nanotubes have unique photo-energy retention properties that have gathered scientific interest. Herein, we report the synthesis, morphological characterization, and the electrochemical characterization of TiO2/WOx nanotubes compared with pure TiO2 nanotubes, prepared by anodization technique. Significant structural differences were not observed in TiO2/WOx nanotubes as observed by usin...

Turkish is an agglutinative language with rich morphology-syntax interactions. As an extension of this property, the Turkish Treebank is designed to represent sublexical dependencies, which brings extra challenges to parsing raw text. In this work, we use a joint POS tagging and parsing approach to parse Turkish raw text, and we show it outperforms a pipeline approach. Then we experiment with i...

In this paper, we study the effects of spike timing-dependent plasticity on synchronisation in a network of Hodgkin-Huxley neurons. Neuron plasticity is a flexible property of a neuron and its network to change temporarily or permanently their biochemical, physiological, and morphological characteristics, in order to adapt to the environment. Regarding the plasticity, we consider Hebbian rules,...

Social sanctions may be a strong deterrent of crime. This paper presents a formal model that relates crime and social sanction to social interaction density. We empirically test the theoretical predictions using a provincial level panel dataset on different crimes in Italy between 1996 and 2003. We exploit detailed demographic and geo-morphological information to develop exogenous measures of s...

A material's mechanical properties greatly control cell behavior at the cell–substrate interface. In this work, we demonstrate that microgel multilayers have unique elastic and viscoelastic-like properties that can be modulated to produce morphological changes in fibroblasts cultured on the film. Protein adsorption is also examined and the data are contrasted with the number of cells adhered. T...

A key parameter to improve the performance of organic solar cells is the optimization of electronic phenomena at donor–acceptor interfaces through the optimization of the morphology of the bulk heterojunction. The correlative mapping of morphological, electrical and mechanical properties at the nanoscale by advanced scanning probe microscopy techniques allows for a detailed characterization of ...

An increasing demand for natural additives has shifted the attention from synthetic to natural antioxidants. The main objective of this research work to establish the antioxidant property of different Phenotypic traits of Aegle marmelos leaf in methanol and water extracts. In the present study three different morphological traits namely Trait I, Trait II and Trait III of Aegle marmelos leaf ext...
