Natural light is a dynamic and ephemeral tool for expressing the quality of architecturalspace. As a compliment to more traditional avenues of daylighting research that assess performance in terms of quantitative illuminance goals and glare-based discomfor ...
Two of the most widely used methods for the fatigue life prediction of composite materials under variable amplitude (VA) loading patterns are presented in this chapter. The first method is based on the theoretical formulation and use of a damage summation ...
This paper addresses the task of mining typical behavioral patterns from small group face-to-face interactions and linking them to social-psychological group variables. Towards this goal, we define group speaking and looking cues by aggregating automatical ...
Pressure pulsation phenomena in a large Kaplan turbine are investigated by means of numerical simulations (CFD) and prototype measurements in order to study the dynamic behavior of flow due to the blade passage and its interaction with other components of ...

Accurate and versatile three-dimensional writing of individually controlled conducting polymer nanodevices forming dense arrays is demonstrated by guiding a monomer meniscus in pulling a micropipette during oxidative polymerization. We specifically demonst ...
Sequences of events in noise-driven excitable systems with slow variables often show serial correlations among their intervals of events. Here, we employ a master equation for generalized non-renewal processes to calculate the interval and count statistics ...
Aims. Our purpose is to provide reliable stellar parameters for a significant sample of eclipsing binaries, which are representative of a whole dwarf and metal-poor galaxy. We also aim at providing a new estimate of the mean distance to the SMC and of its ...
A new computational tool for the fatigue life prediction of composite materials, designated CCfatigue, is presented in this paper. This new software has been developed based on a well-established phenomenological fatigue life prediction methodology. It is ...
Local theory extensions provide a complete and efficient way for reasoning about satisfiability of certain kinds of universally quantified formulas modulo a background theory. They are therefore useful in automated reasoning, software verification, and syn ...
This paper addresses the discovery of activities and learns the underlying processes that govern their occurrences over time in complex surveillance scenes. To this end, we propose a novel topic model that accounts for the two main factors that affect thes ...
