Within this work an approach was developed, which utilises airborne laser scanner data in order to generate 3D building models. These 3D building models may be used for technical and environmental planning. The approach has to follow certain requirements such as working automatically and robust and being flexible in use but still practicable. The approach starts with small point clouds containi...

Building on the work of others who have advocated securing breast tissue to adjacent structures to achieve better projection, the author presents a technique that eliminates the lateral axillary roll deformity while using this tissue to augment breast volume-a particular advantage in the patient with massive weight loss. The procedure, although requiring a longer operating time and resulting in...

Three cases of male breast cancer were diagnosed among a small group of men who worked in a basement office of a multi-story office building. This office was adjacent to an electrical switchgear room which generated high magnetic fields in their work space. The risk of male breast cancer in this group was increased about 100-fold (observe three cases, expect 0.03 cases; P < 0.00001). Since 1991...

Nowadays, underground structures play vital role in developing different countries. Such structures are constructed in many civil activities such as development of road and railways, subways, water, gas and sewage lines, underground subways, nuclear wastes land filling, fuel storage and military installations. With an appropriate drilling method being selected, instabilities created in tunnels ...

Let G and H be graphs. The strong product GH of graphs G and H is the graph with vertex set V(G)V(H) and u=(u1, v1) is adjacent with v= (u2, v2) whenever (v1 = v2 and u1 is adjacent with u2) or (u1 = u2 and v1 is adjacent with v2) or (u1 is adjacent with u2 and v1 is adjacent with v2). In this paper, we first collect the earlier results about strong product and then we present applications of ...

In this paper, in addition to introduce a hybrid structural system contained local isolators and dampers, its behavior and functional capabilities were studied on a conventional structure. For this purpose, an RC frame building with six-story was designed based on valid codes and then, in four cases based on the number of spans, it was split into two separate adjacent frames. Base isolation was...

The signals used in UMTS have wide bandwidth and high crest factors. Circuit designers use sinusoids to design and simulate their building blocks. Formulas are presented relating the various distortion effects of the W-CDMA signals like adjacent channel leakage ratio (ACLR), cross modulation or intermodulation to well-known linearity measures like input intercept point of third(IIP3) and second...
