Conventional formworks for concrete curved shells either are expensive, complex and wasteful or have formal restrictions. Using tile vaults (also known as timbrel, Guastavino, thin-tile or Catalan vaults) as stay-in-place formwork for concrete shells could ...
Compression of dynamic 3D geometry obtained from depth sensors is challenging, because noise and temporal inconsistency inherent in acquisition of depth data means there is no one-to-one correspondence between sets of 3D points in consecutive time instants ...
Compressive tests on clay tiles used in historical masonry timbrel vaults are hindered by the relatively small thickness of the specimens, resulting in buckling or confinement problems depending on the loading direction. This paper presents an experimental ...
Modern histopathology workflows rely on the digitization of histology slides. The quality of the resulting digital representations, in the form of histology slide image mosaics, depends on various specific acquisition conditions and on the image processing ...
The main focus of this work is fuel retention in plasma components of the JET water-cooled Mk-I divertors operated with small tiles, first with carbon fibre composite (CFC) and then with castellated beryllium. Until recently these have been the only large- ...
Origami shape transformation is dictated by predefined folding patterns and their folding sequence. The working principle of robotic origami is based on the same principle: we design quasi-two-dimensional tiles and connecting hinges and define and program ...
By showing two images of wall-covering tiles, both existing at Metelkova Mesto, in Ljubljana, the process of the "aesthetisation of the counter-culture" is shown visually: on one hand, the aesthetics of recycling (grassroots, DiY), on the other hand, the r ...
Applying image processing technology and machine vision in industry have had significant development in recent decade. Tile and ceramic industry was not excluded form this matter. By using image processing techniques in production line of this industry, it ...
NOVELTY - A hydraulic binder comprises a source of calcium aluminate, calcium silicate, sulfate, and a source of reactive silica. The ingredients are present in such relative proportions that, upon hydration, both monosulfate and hydrated alumina are forme ...
We have designed and fabricated double-gate ambipolar field-effect transistors, which exhibit p-type and n-type characteristics by controlling the polarity of the second gate. In this work, we present an approach for designing an efficient regular layout, ...
