NP-hardness of parametric subshape recognition for an arbitrary number of open terms is proven. Guided by this under standing of the complexity of subshape recognition, a framework for computation-friendly parametric shape grammar interpreters is proposed, which is further detailed by a sub-framework over parametric twodimensional rectangular shapes. As both the proof of NP-hardness and rectang...

In this paper new div-curl results are derived. For any open set Ω of RN , N 2, we study the limit of the product vn · wn where the sequences vn and wn are respectively bounded in Lp(Ω)N and Lq(Ω)N , while divvn and curlwn are compact in some Sobolev spaces, under the condition 1 1 p + 1 q 1 + 1 N . Our approach is based on a suitable decomposition of the functions vn and wn, combined with the ...

The use of a design tool materializing the performative design concept is presented. The association of parametric design with lighting intentions leads to a light-based parametric design approach. This approach have been implemented through an inverse natural lighting model which is intended to aid the daylight design (windows, shading devices or others) in the early stages of architectural de...

Methylated and un-methylated control DNA is an important part of DNA methylation studies. Although human and mouse DNA methylation control sets are commercially available, in case of methylation studies on other species such as animals, plants, and bacteria, control sets need to be prepared. In this paper a simple method of generating methylated and un-methylated control DNA is described. Whole...
