The paper presents an improved scheme for the visualization of 3D terrain in real-time using Digital Elevation Model (DEM). The method is primarily based on a modified version of Real-time Optimally Adapting Mesh (ROAM) that boosts performance by improving the rendering speed, enhancing the visual continuity and achieving frame rate constancy. We outline how to achieve better detail and continu...

This article aims to unsettle familiar notions of the educational design studio by examining how it is different from professional studio. Both settings share similar routines, practices, and physical features; however, I argue their operations differ in critical ways. By bringing attention these differences, hope open up new perspectives on learning happens studios make a case for further mate...

The aim of this paper is to explore conventional methods of teaching the arch-design studio withideas of sustainability and creativity as agents of change. If this is realised, it means the students of architecture canbe grounded in designing with sustainability and creativity ideas and can be professionals that design and build withideas of creativity and sustainability. So, there are real bui...

احداث کانال از دیرباز از رایج­ترین راه­های ذخیره و انتقال آب به شمار می­رود. از مهمترین اهداف طراحی کانال­ها، انتقال آب از منبع تا محل مصرف با حداقل تلفات نشت و کمترین هزینه بهره‌برداری می­باشد. مطالعات صورت گرفته نشان می­دهد که بسیاری از سازه‌های هیدرولیکی و کانال‌ها به دلایل مختلفی از جمله عدم وجود خاک مناسب در محل و خاک‌های مسئله‌دار دچار تخریب‌های جزئی و کلی گردیده و صدمات زیادی را ...

Studio-based teaching focuses on problem/project work and experimentation in a hands-on studio environment. Traditionally found in the arts and architecture, it is now being used in other fields such as Instructional Technology and the sciences. The first link below describes the history and rationale of studio-based teaching. Subsequent links provide information on studio teaching in a variety...

seepage in earth fill dams is one of the important factors that may cause the erosion and slope instability if it is ignored. therefore, it is crucial to calculate the leakage discharge through the body of dam and foundation, to prevent economic and life hazards by considering technical and economical issues. in this research, the seepage analysis of the body and the stability of the upstream a...
