For a task like 3D building reconstruction, there are three main data sources carrying information which i s required for a highly automated data acquisition. These data sources are aerial images, Digital Surface Models (DSM), which can either be derived by stereo matching from aerial images or be directly measured by scanning laser systems, and { at least for highly developed countries { exist...

Background: Pipeline maintenance is becoming an important issue in modern construction and building information model (BIM) research. An understanding of pipeline accessibility considerations in terms of operation and maintenance is essential for planning and management. Previous studies have highlighted the complexity of multi-pipes including mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) pipelines...

Background Genetic impacts on handwriting legibility and speed, especially in early childhood, are not well understood. The present study used a 2D:4D ratio as a biological marker to investigate the associations between genetic factors with quality and speed of handwriting among the elementary school children. Ma...

Upper Gotvand dam is constructed on the Karun River located in the south west of Iran. In this paper, 2D and 3D models of the dam together with the foundation and abutments were constructed and several seepage analyses were carried out. Then the gypsum veins scattered throughout the foundation ground and also the seepage pattern were included in the models, hence the dissolution law of gypsum, ...

Planning as satissability has hitherto focused only on purely generative planning. There is an evidence in traditional reenement planning that planning incrementally by reusing or merging plans can be more eecient than planning from scratch (sometimes reuse is not eecient, but becomes necessary if the cost of abandoning the reusable plan is too high, when users are charged for the planning solu...

Typical tasks of multi agent systems are effective coordination of single agents and their cooperation. Especially in dynamic environments, like the RoboCup soccer domain, the uncertainty of an opponent’s team behavior complicates coordinated team action. This paper presents a novel approach for intuitive multi agent plan construction and adaptive plan selection to attempt these tasks. We intro...

The purpose of this study was to develop dosimetry verification procedures for volumetric-modulated arc therapy (VMAT)-based total marrow irradiation (TMI). The VMAT based TMI plans were generated for three patients: one child and two adults. The planning target volume (PTV) was defined as bony skeleton, from head to mid-femur, with a 3 mm margin. The plan strategy similar to published studies ...

Background: Over the last years, more and more biological data became available. Besides the pure amount of new data, also its dimensionality—the number of di erent attributes per data point—increased. Recently, especially the amount of data on chromatin and its modifications increased considerably. In the field of epigenetics, appropriate visualization tools designed for highlighting the di er...
