This research aims at developing a new approach called ‘KISS Modeling’. KISS is generally a rule of ‘Keep It Simple, Stupid’ that will be applied in modeling process investigated and presented by the research. The new approach is implemented in a computer program ‘KISS Modeling’ that generates three dimensional forms based on simplifying the concept of shape recognition in design. The research,...

A framework for the generation and fabrication of architectural massing designs is presented. The framework consists of a computer program, which generates designs based on shape grammars, and rapid prototyping technologies that produce physical models of generated designs. The goal is to illustrate how geometrically complex designs, difficult to produce by hand, can be generated based on a few...

Right bundle branch block (RBBB) is occasionally encountered in young persons who lack any other evidence of overt cardiac disease (Hiss and Lamb, 1962; Lancaster, Schechter, and Massing, 1972). The block may be complete or incomplete, the latter being more common. Right bundle branch block has been studied in relation to body weight, obesity, serum cholesterol and glucose levels, and blood pre...

Background: Groundnut bud necrosis virus (GBNV) (Tospovirus genus, Bunyaviridae family) infects the major crops of solanaceae, leguminosae and cucurbitaceae in India. Temperature is an important factor which influences the plant growth and development under diseased conditions.Objective: In the present study, we evaluated the effect of four different temp...

BACKGROUND Although the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has a long history of using risk-based approaches for regulatory purposes, pollutant limits for pathogens in biosolids are not currently based on quantitative risk assessments. OBJECTIVES We developed and demonstrated a risk-based methodology for assessing the risk to human health from exposure to pathogens via biosolids. MATERIAL...

We analyse a Eulerian Finite Element method, combining time-stepping scheme applied to the time-dependent Stokes equations using CutFEM approach with inf-sup stable Taylor-Hood elements for spatial discretisation. This is based on method introduced by Lehrenfeld \& Olshanskii [ESAIM: M2AN 53(2):585--614] in context of scalar convection-diffusion problems moving domains, and extended non-station...

In recent years, the Internet has experienced a boom as an information source. The use of search engines is the most common way of finding this information. This means that less visible contents (for search engines) are increasingly difficult or even almost impossible to find. Thus,Web users are forced to accept alternative services or contents only because they are visible and offered to users...

The Burj Dubai Project will be the tallest structure ever built by man; when completed the tower will be more than 700 meters tall and more than 160 floors. The early integration of aerodynamic shaping and wind engineering considerations played a major role in the architectural massing and design of this residential tower, where mitigating and taming the dynamic wind effects was one of the most...
