Computer-aided drug design (CADD) is an interdisciplinary subject, playing a pivotal role during new drug research and development, especially the discovery and optimization of lead compounds. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) modernization is the only way of TCM development and also an effective approach to the development of new drugs and the discovery of potential drug targets (PDTs). Disco...

In this paper we describe the design of a virtual reality simulator for traditional intuitive archery. Traditional archers aim without a target figure. Good shooting results require an excellent body-eye coordination that allows the user to perform identical movements when drawing the bow. Our simulator provides a virtual archery experience and supports the user to learn and practice the motion...

The ability to display and interact with large scale representations of vehicles has always been a fundamental requirement of the automotive design industry. This requirement has traditionally manifested itself in a variety of mediums, including full scale blueprints, tape drawings, and 3D clay models. More recently, automotive design studios have begun to explore the use of large scale digital...

Design of automobile modeling DNA is the core that makes enterprises establishes a good and unique brand image to win on market. This paper described the definition and meaning of production DNA, also discussed the composition of production DNA and researched the design ideas of production DNA from both macro and micro aspects. Finally, it recommended would research the traditional culture into...

This paper presents a novel method for interactive playground design, based on traditional children’s play. This method combines the rich interaction possibilities of computer games with the physical and open-ended aspects of traditional children’s games. The method is explored by the development of a prototype interactive playground, which has been implemented and evaluated over two iterations.

Fuzzy set approach has been applied in the database and information retrieval areas for nearly 30 years. Here we give consideration to aspects of these areas that seem to afford the greatest potential for further development. Imprecise information can be stored in traditional database using fuzzy linguistic terms (e.g. young, big) that are used frequently in daily life. Although these words are...

Research in open office design has shown that it is negatively related to workers’ satisfaction with their physical environment and perceived productivity. A longitudinal study was conducted within a large private organization to investigate the effects of relocating employees from traditional offices to open offices. A measure was constructed that assessed employees’satisfaction with the physi...

The study of traditional built environments is instrumental in understanding the essence behind the formation of vernacular architecture. Insight gained from this study helps in learning important lessons about the mutual interaction between culture and architecture, and the effect that each has on the other. This approach was greatly used in teaching the history of architecture and, in some in...
