With the thumb serving an important role in the function of the human hand, improving robotic prosthetic thumb functionality will have a direct impact on the prosthesis itself. So far, no significant work exists that examines the ranges of motion a prosthe ...
Traditionally architecture in Asia was not graphically represented or formalised, and relied on received knowledge being passed down from generation to generation. Stylianos Dritsas and Kang Shua Yeo describe the Heritage Buildings and Digital Tectonic res ...
Across many generations, including the digitally naïve and savvy, digital technologies introduce something other to the design process. This other quality ranges from inaccessibility to facile but opaque production of complexity, yet in all cases has obscu ...
The explosion of available data in the last few years has increased the importance of physical database design, since the selection of proper physical structures (e.g. indices, partitions and materialized views) may improve query execution performance by s ...
This thesis investigates the impact of digital technology on the methods of design and production in architecture. Through research of history, theory, technology, and methods, the work determines whether the current use of new technologies should be consi ...
The work addresses research by design as a subject and a method. It explores theorizations, experimentations, and verifications, all of them engaged in writing, drawing and building. It is discovery-led, and starts from a blurry "state of the arts". It osc ...
Images d'architecture. Cet article présente l'entretien de Laurent Stalder avec Inès Devanthéry-Lamunière et Patrick Devanthéry, lauréats du Prix Meret Oppenheim 2011 ...
In this work, we present the technological constrains and limitations in the design of ultra-thin body Junctionless Vertical Slit Field Effect Transistor (JL VeSFET). A design space involving the intrinsic off-current, the sub-threshold swing, and the drai ...
This paper describes the contextual analysis of architecture with landscape methods as both design and teaching methodology. The methodology applies our understanding of research as design and design as research, and involves the evaluation of landscape ar ...
The design of 3-dimensional integrated circuits requires new specialized tools, methods and flows. Whereas some tools are on the market and some design flows for standard ICs are extended to handle die stacking and through-silicon vias, much R&D has still ...
