The dome is a vital element and prominent building feature in Islamic Architecture. This paper analyzes the geometrical philosophical approach to transition of two types domes, i.e., square octagonal base domes. timeline region selected for work are from 1420s 1630s Indian subcontinent. During period, it covers three dynasties: Sayyid Dynasty, Lodi Mughal their change toward shapes domes accord...

One of the common monuments in the Sassanid era was the square dome. Interestingly, corners and parts of the square dome were always geometrically proportionate to each other. Square domes have been mainly studied in terms of their historical background as well as the materials used. The present research, however, aimed to examine the geometric proportions governing the formation of square dome...

in this paper an intelligent method through general regression neural networks (grnn) is presented to estimate the depth of salt domes from gravity data. neural networks are as a good tool for automatic interpretation of geophysical data especially for depth estimation of gravity anomalies. the gravity signal is a nonlinear function of depth and density and the geometrical parameters of the bur...

Mare domes are smooth low features with gentle convex upward profiles. Isolated domes may be found in almost all maria, but significant concentrations occur in the Hortensius/Milichius/T. Mayer region, Oceanus Procellarum, and Mare Tranquillitatis [1]. The Marius Hills in Oceanus Procellarum represent the lunar region in which domes are most abundant. The surface material of the complex has bee...

in the classification of traditional domes, they are divided into two main categories: “roc” (cone-shaped) and “nār” (hemisphere-like) domes. urchīn domes are a sub-category of cone-shaped domes which were common in the past in the region of mesopotamia and southwest of iran. the fractal geometry is the best way to describe the geometrical structure of these domes, because the existence of self...

Introduction: Domes and more oblong and irregularly shaped mounds have been described from the Arcadia and Utopia Planitiae regions on Mars [1,2,3]. In [1] it was suggested that the domes in Arcadia were volcanic domes and they were compared to terrestrial volcanic domes with silica contents generally higher than have been associated with known volcanic products on Mars. In [2] it was posited t...

The Gruithuisen domes, situated on the western portion of the Imbrium basin rim, form three tall mountains (NW, Gamma, Delta) totaling ∼780 km 3 in volume. The shapes of the domes are significantly different from that of mare-type domes elsewhere on the Moon. We use data from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) and Kaguya missions (LRO Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter, Lunar Reconnaissance Orbi...

Domes are localized areas of fluid accumulation between a cultured epithelial cell monolayer and the impermeable substratum on which the cells are cultured in vitro. Dome formation has been documented in a variety of epithelial cell lines that retain their transepithelial transport properties in vitro. However, it is not known whether domes are predominantly areas of specific active transport, ...

PURPOSE In the present study, we coined the term 'alveolar dome' and aimed to demonstrate the prevalence of alveolar domes through digital periapical radiographs. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study examined 800 digital periapical radiographs in regard to the presence of alveolar domes. The periapical radiographs were acquired by a digital system using a photostimulable phosphor (PSP) plate. The...

The Magellan SAR images show that volcanic domes occur on the surface of Venus. Edifices with scalloped margins are similar to volcanic domes and fall within a spectrum ranging from unmodified to remnant forms. Over 320 domes have been located of which more than 80% have modified morphologies. Broadly, the modified domes can be described by five sub-categories which are related to three unmodif...
