This paper presents a linear algorithm for the simultaneous computation of 3D points and camera positions from multiple perspective views, based on having four points on a reference plane visible in all views. The reconstruction and camera recovery is achieved, in a single step, by finding the null-space of a matrix using singular value decomposition. Unlike factorization algorithms, the presen...

Nanoaerosols have been monitored inside a kitchen and in the courtyard of a suburban farmhouse. Total number concentration and number size distribution (5-1000 nm) of general aerosol particles, as measured with a Grimm Aerosol SMPS+C 5.400 instrument outdoors, were mainly influenced by solar radiation and use of farming equipment, while, indoors, they were drastically changed by human activity ...

The topic of this paper is optimized shading and lighting systems which consist of planar fins arranged along the edges of a quad-dominant base mesh, that mesh itself covering a reference surface. Such an arrangement can be observed e.g. in the Kogod courtyard roof designed by Foster + Partners for the National Portrait Gallery in Washington DC (Fig. 1): A reference surface consisting of three ...

This paper discusses relationships between research, architectural design and technology, with particular focus on the descriptions and activities of a practice-oriented architectural research program. The objectives of the program are to advance the performance of project designs, improve decision-making process, and to inspire innovation through systematic investigations of building performan...

The present study was conducted to gain insights into the occurrence and characteristics of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase- (ESBL-) producing Escherichia coli (E. coli) from drinking well water in the rural area of Laiwu, China, and to explore the role of the nearby pit latrine as a contamination source. ESBL-producing E. coli from wells were compared with isolates from pit latrines in the vi...

Challenges for the study of Islamic architecture include its abundance and diversity in expression and its classification based on distinct functional or stylistic types. We address these issues by presenting shape grammars as a methodology for the analysis and design generation of Islamic architecture, with a specific example in the form of a parametric shape grammar for central Asian caravans...
