Digitalization in the construction sector is a need of modern world. Not only infrastructure, but also quality life, improved by digital transformation sector. Digital technologies are being widely used construction. The impacts implementing technology on industry, however, have not yet been thoroughly understood. Considering this aspect study reviews articles field digitalization various segme...

Fluid Construction Grammar (FCG) is a formalism for defining the inventory of lexical and grammatical conventions that language processing requires and the operations with which this inventory is used to parse and produce sentences. This chapter introduces some of the key ideas and basic design principles behind the development of Fluid Construction Grammar.

German case syncretism is often assumed to be the accidental by-product of historical development. This paper contradicts this claim and argues that the evolution of German case is driven by the need to optimize the cognitive effort and memory required for processing and interpretation. This hypothesis is supported by a novel kind of computational experiments that reconstruct and compare attest...

Fluid Construction Grammar (FCG) is an open-source computational grammar formalism that is becoming increasingly popular for studying the history and evolution of language. This demonstration shows how FCG can be used to operationalise the cultural processes and cognitive mechanisms that underly language evolution and change.

In the present paper a morphological approach for segmenting orientation fields is proposed. This approach is based on the concept of the line-segment and orientation functions. The line-segment function is computed from the supremum of directional erosions. This function contains the sizes of the longest lines that can be included in the structure. To determine the directions of the line segme...

Polyurethanes is a group of polymers whose unique properties make them useful in both the construction and the textile industry, and even in tissue engineering. One small, but very significant, urethane group connects specially selected macrochains to obtain a material with established properties. The chapter is a literature review for research on the synthesis and properties of new degradable ...

Hypertext information retrieval systems combine hypertext and information retrieval capabilities by providing retrieval techniques that include direct search as well as navigation and browsing. The incorporation of a mechanism for the automatic construction of hypertext into an IR system is quite important in order to exploit the advantages of the integration of hypertext with information retri...

In this paper, we introduce a conceptual tuple-based model for specifi cation of spatial, temporal and semantic relationships among media segments in a multimedia presentation. A multimedia presentation contains various kinds of multimedia objects such as audio, video, images, text media types and so on. The organization of a presentation is a complex task in that the display order of presentat...

Among the recent trends in real-time visual SLAM, there has been a move towards the construction of structure-rich maps. By using landmarks more descriptive than point features, such as line or surface segments, larger parts of the scene can be represented in a compact form. This minimises redundancy and might allow applications such as object detection and path planning. In this paper, we prop...

We present a pseudo-polynomial time (1+ε)-approximation algorithm for computing the integral and average Fréchet distance between two given polygonal curves T1 and T2. The running time is in O(ζ4n4/ε2) where n is the complexity of T1 and T2 and ζ is the maximal ratio of the lengths of any pair of segments from T1 and T2. Furthermore, we give relations between weighted shortest paths inside a si...
