Overruns to planned schedules are common in civil construction projects worldwide. Yet, the construction industry fails to recognize the criticality of the problem; and whilst models have been developed, their lack of adequate sophistication fails to alleviate the problem. Additionally, there is resistance from construction professionals to use such models due to the lack of software integratio...

In this paper we give a new construction of Dirichlet series — built from the q-product expansion of certain modular functions — which have the line (s) = 0 as natural border of analyticity.

In this article, I discuss material which is related to the recent proof of Fermat’s Last Theorem: elliptic curves, modular forms, Galois representations and their deformations, Frey’s construction, and the conjectures of Serre and of Taniyama-Shimura.

Modular Building System (MBS) is an emerging offsite construction technique, which uses prefabricated units, transported, and assembled onsite. In MBS process, designing stage considered as the most significant stage. One of critical concerns in MBSs to maintain ensure structural integrity assembly against loading conditions. Connections a crucial part off-site construction, plays prominent rol...

We introduce and study finite slope nearly overconvergent (elliptic) modular forms. We give an application of this notion to the construction of the RankinSelberg p-adic L-function on the product of two eigencurves.

We give a geometrical construction of the canonical automorphic factor for the Jacobi group and construct new vector valued modular forms from Jacobi forms by differentiating them with respect to toroidal variables and then evaluating at zero.

The recently proposed construction approach to nonperturbative QFT, based on modular localization, is reviewed and extended. It allows to unify black holes physics and H-temperatures (H standing for Hawking or Horizon) with the bootstrap-formfactor program for nonperturbative construction of low dimensional QFT. In case of on-shell particle number conservation, the equations characterizing the ...

Recently the number of designed modular machine was increased. The term modular machine is used to denote different types of machinery, equipment and production lines, which are created using modular elements. Modular could be both mechanic elements, and drives, as well as control systems. This method of machine design is more and more popular because it allows obtaining flexible and relatively...

DIY modular robotics has always had a strong appeal to makers and designers; being able to quickly design, build, and animate their own robots opens the possibility of bringing imaginations to life. However, current interfaces to control and program the DIY robot either lacks connection and consistency between the users and target (Graphical User Interface) or suffers from limited control capab...
