A new method of seeding X 2 optical parametric converters with 3 fiber sources is introduced. We demonstrate a tunable mid-infrared source operating at around µm the technique and discuss potential this architecture.

Proper decisions play a crucial role in any software architecture design process. An important decision of design stage is the selection of a suitable software architecture style. Lack of investigation on the quantitative impact of architecture styles on software quality attributes is the main problem in using such styles. Consequently, the use of architecture styles in designing is based on th...

In this article, we investigate the performance behavior of a hierarchical storage architecture. Considering both the size of video files and the skewed file access patterns over the available files, it is not cost-effective to store all video files on secondary storage such as disk arrays, since most users may access only a small subset of the available video files. Using tertiary storage, suc...

By incorporating parametric surfaces and spline entities into the shape modelling computer systems, new design and production graphic tools have been created in the conceptual and poetic field of architecture; thus allowing an intuitive approach to the fast production of complex shapes with a minimum amount of data and specific knowledge. The analogous production systems (constrained by the mat...

Making a prediction typically involves dealing with uncertainties. The application of uncertainty analysis to buildings and HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) systems, however, remains limited. Most existing studies concentrate on the parameter uncertainty and parametric variability in building simulations for the design stage, and rely on Monte Carlo experiments to quantify this ...

Parametric design is essentially a generative that can be created using computer and mathematical relationships. In process-oriented way (instead of changing the shape), we modify components' parameters make up shape, resulting in new look. Because manipulations' consequences seen immediately, development product families variants implemented quickly. With help parametric design, customizing in...

This paper examines methods in which digital media is employed not as a representational tool for visualization but as a generative tool for the derivation of form and its transformation the digital morphogenesis. It explores the possibilities for the “finding of form,” which the emergence of various digitally based generative techniques seem to bring about. It surveys the digital generative pr...

One possibility to make a fast and radiation resistant shower maximum (SM) detector is to use a secondary emitter as an active element. We present below test beam results, obtained with different types of photo detectors based on micro channel plates (MCP) as secondary emitter. The SM time resolution we obtained for this new type of detector is at the level of 20-30 ps. We estimate that a signi...
