This paper presents a computational system for augmenting real-time 3D virtual environments to support the formation and compositions of architectural designs. The developed IAMVE (Interactive Architectural Modeling in Virtual Environments) system provides more flexibility to architectural designers and develops an edge to multi-user real time 3D virtual environments to be better utilized in th...

K Nearest Neighbor (KNN) joins are used in scientific domains for data analysis, and building blocks of several well-known algorithms. KNN-joins find the KNN all points a dataset. This paper focuses on hybrid CPU/GPU approach low-dimensional KNN-joins, where GPU may not yield substantial performance gains over parallel CPU We utilize work queue that prioritizes computing high density regions GP...

BACKGROUND/AIMS The clinical definition of an atypical naevus ("dysplastic naevus" or "naevus with architectural disorder and cytological atypia of melanocytes") stresses size larger than 5 mm in diameter as a major diagnostic criterion. Because malignant melanomas and their precursors may arise in smaller lesions, a histological study of melanocytic lesions smaller than 4 mm in diameter was co...

banjarmasin is known as a tidal waterfront city and it is called city of a thousand rivers. thecity level was approximately -16 cm below the sea level and almost a swamp-land. the urbanization and the citydevelopment programs have changed the city’s physical and spatial plan from a wetland to a mainland structure. theissues of the city's transformation have changed the city structure from ...

Memoires by eminently creative people often describe architectural spaces and qualities they believe instrumental for their creativity. However, places designed to encourage creativity have had mixed results, with some found to decrease creative productivity for users. This may be due, in part, to lack of suitable empirical theory or model to guide design strategies. Relationships between creat...
