Introduction: The image quality of computed tomography (CT) can be seriously lowered by metal implants of patients. These implants are known to exert a significant impact on diagnostic accuracy due to artifacts. The current study aimed to assess the usefulness of Metal Artifact Reduction (MAR) software in the reduction of metal artifacts, in comparison to iterative rec...

This paper reports an observation of communication in collaborative design by examining several historical cases of building design projects. It will present three cases of teamwork in architectural modelling. Each case provides a collection of drawings or illustrations that depict the artefacts being designed and constructed. Looking at the cases from the design as modelling perspective, two i...

While TRIZ is increasingly developing both in research and education, new users always encounter difficulties in their first attempts to practice it. In such situation, Altshuller’s original matrix often appears as an “easy-to-beginwith” tool. However, while not being representative of what TRIZ really is, it continues to seduce new users, teachers and trainers. Several approaches to automate t...
