This paper discusses the Centre for Excellence in Teaching and Learning through Design (CETLD) Online Exhibitions Project, a collaboration between the University of Brighton, the Royal Institute of British Architects, the Victoria and Albert Museum and the Royal College of Art. The project entailed creating a virtual exhibition drawn from the archives of the partner institutions, with the goal ...

Roof problems, especially roof leaks, not only disrupt building operations, but can also contribute to the occurrence of severe internal Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) problems (Oliver 1997; Rivin 2001; Haverinen, Vahteristo et al. 2003). One of the well-accepted causes of roof leaks is the lack of roof maintenance (Lounis, Vanier et al. 1998a). The out-of-sight, out-of-mind nature of a roof’s locati...

Abstract: This paper discusses the development and trial of a Wireless Exhibition Guide that employs mobile, wireless, and indoor positioning technologies to introduce sophisticated information, communication, and navigation exhibition services, thus, leveraging the value proposition of exhibition stakeholders. Results indicate user acceptance of the system and provide guidance towards the futu...

The components and claddings of low-rise building are usually destroyed first during typhoon disasters in coastal areas. Roof accessory structures can change the flow pattern on the roof, thus effectively reducing the wind load on the roof surface and the damage to the low rise buildings. Two types of aerodynamic mitigation plates, i.e., (1) 0.3 m high full length roof-edge plate, and (2) 0.3 m...

Automatic extraction of buildings from digital images aims at detection of buildings from digital images and reconstruction of roof structure automatically. At Pictometry, more than 30 million images are captured every year and how to extract the useful information of objects on the ground from the existing image library for various applications is a big challenge we face now. In this paper, an...

Numerous studies have identified the roof plate as an important signaling center controlling dorsal interneuron specification and differentiation in the developing spinal cord. Currently, the molecular pathways of roof plate formation and function are poorly understood. We determined that the LIM-homeodomain transcription factor Lmx1b is sufficient to induce functional roof plate in the early c...
