this paper seeks to investigate a new definition for architecture by unifying the three vitruvian principles of firmitas, utilities, and venustas via a phenomenological approach in the interpretation and analysis of their role in defining architecture. the paper is composed in two main sections. the first section investigates the nature of architecture based on the mentioned principles, where a...

this article presents a novel method and development paradigm that proposes a general template for an enterprise information structure and allows for the automatic generation and modification of enterprise workflows. this dynamically integrated workflow development approach utilises a conceptual ontology of domain processes and tasks, enterprise charts, and enterprise entities. it also suggests...

Soft particles such as microgels and core-shell can undergo significant anisotropic deformations when adsorbed to a liquid interface. This, in turn, leads complex phase behavior upon compression. Here we develop multiscale framework rationally link the molecular particle architecture resulting interfacial morphology and, ultimately, collective behavior, enabling us identify key single-particle ...

Liquid State Machines constitute a powerful computational tool for carrying out complex real time computations on continuous input streams. Their performance is based on two properties, approximation and separation. While the former depends on the selection of class functions for the readout maps, the latter needs to be evaluated for a particular liquid architecture. In the current paper we sho...

In this work, 1.4 mm dibutylphthalate (DBP) filled urea–formaldehyde (UF) microcapsules were used as Pickering stabilizers to create larger 140 mm microcapsules containing a second liquid phase, dicyclopentadiene (DCPD). The binary microcapsules were made by encapsulating the dispersed DCPD liquid (stabilized with the UF(DBP) microcapsules in water) via an isocyanate–alcohol interfacial polymer...
