In this work we propose a generalization of Winfree’s abstract Tile Assembly Model (aTAM) in which tile types are assigned rigid shapes, or geometries, along each tile face. We examine the number of distinct tile types needed to assemble shapes within this model, the temperature required for efficient assembly, and the problem of designing compact geometric faces to meet given compatibility spe...

BACKGROUND Pelvic fractures are severe injuries with frequently associated multi-system trauma and a high mortality rate. The value of the pelvic fracture pattern for predicting transfusion requirements and mortality is not entirely clear. To address hemorrhage from pelvic injuries, the early application of pelvic binders is now recommended and arterial angio-embolization is widely used for con...

background and aims: the aluminum-containing compounds are used as glaze in tile and ceramic production plants. it means that the workers working in these plants are in direct exposure to aluminum-containing compounds. the aim of this study was to assess the potential damages caused by aluminum among tile plant workers. methods: in this cross-sectional study, 60 workers whom were in direct expo...

An aperiodic tile set is a finite set of tiles which can tile the plane (i.e. cover it without overlap), but not in a periodic way (i.e., no tiling is invariant by a translation). To prove the undecidability of the the Domino problem, Robert Berger constructed in 1966 the first aperiodic tile set [1]. His proof was simplified in 1971 by Rafael Robinson, who introduced a six-tile set and proved ...

Abstract Manufacturers of mosaic tiles often need to continuously improve the richness their tile colors, adding one or several new colors existing so that they can meet needs more users. In this thesis, problem is discussed in terms color fuzzy matching, combining Monte Carlo simulation and second-order diffusion decay model for selection, addition colors. The obtained results are visualized d...

The dominating set problem is a well known NP hard problem. It means that as the instance size grows, they quickly become impossible to solve on traditional digital computers. Tile assembly model has been demonstrated as a highly distributed parallel model of computation. Algorithmic tile assembly has been proved to be Turing-universal. This paper proposes a tile assembly system for the dominat...

Power-aware graphics architectures are receiving more attention recently. In this paper we analyze rendering techniques suitable for low power devices. One technique that looks promising is Tile Rendering. This technique decomposes a scene into tiles and renders each tile independently. For several scenes we compute a tile size that allows most triangles to be rendered without being divided int...
