Minkowski sums are a very simple geometrical operation, with applications in many different fields. In particular, Minkowski sums of polytopes have shown to be of interest to both industry and the academic world. This thesis presents a study of these sums, ...
The project is developed around a central courtyard in response to the site where it is located, while taking advantage of the existing slope to resolve the position of the singular buildings in relation to the system of grouping classrooms; the direct con ...
The success of 3DTV, as one of the emerging multimedia formats, will largely depend on the quality of experience it provides to the viewer in relation to traditional media. Therefore reliable methods for quality assessment are crucial in order to optimize ...
We prove a Hadwiger transversal-type result, characterizing convex position on a family of non-crossing convex bodies in the plane. This theorem suggests a definition for the order type of a family of convex bodies, generalizing the usual definition of ord ...
We investigate the dynamic behavior of concrete in relation to its composition within a computational framework (FEM). Concrete is modeled using a meso-mechanical approach in which aggregates and mortar are represented explicitly. Both continuum phases are ...
The relation between the near–field and far–field properties of plasmonic nanostructures that exhibit Fano resonances is investigated in detail. We show that specific features visible in the asymmetric lineshape far–field response of such structures origin ...
We describe a decision procedure for a logic that supports 1) finite collections of elements (sets or multisets), 2) the cardinality operator, 3) a total order relation on elements, and 4) min and max operators on entire collections. Among the applications ...
Gradient based microphone arrays, the horizontal sound field's plane wave decomposition, and the corresponding circular harmonics decomposition are reviewed. Further, a general relation between directivity patterns of the horizontal sound field gradients a ...
Chapter in the exhibition catalogue outlining the instigation and concept for the creation of the exhibition at the Biennale. The text focuses on the relation of urban development in Bahrain with the traditional and cultural connection to water and the sea ...
Comparison between different formalisms and models is often by flattening structure and reducing them to behaviourally equivalent models e.g. automaton and Turing machine. This leads to a notion of expressiveness which is not adequate for component-based s ...
