The Unreinforced Wall (URM) elements that are most susceptible to out-of-plane failure are wall elements of the upper storeys where the accelerations are largest. In modern URM buildings with reinforced concrete slabs, the out-of-plane mechanism involves t ...
Service Design is an engineering endeavor to enrich some aspect of the real world through a man-made artifact. Systems approach to modeling reality is particularly relevant to Service Design as it seeks to explain reality as a composition of functional obs ...
The stability for all generic equilibria of the Lie-Poisson dynamics of the so(4) rigid body dynamics is completely determined. It is shown that for the generalized rigid body certain Cartan subalgebras (called of coordinate type) of so(n) are equilibrium ...
We demonstrate that images of flux vortices in a superconductor taken with a transmission electron microscope can be used to measure the penetration depth and coherence length in all directions at the same temperature and magnetic field. This is particular ...
In this paper we study the problem of Hamiltonization of nonholonomic systems from a geometric point of view. We use gauge transformations by 2-forms (in the sense of evera and Weinstein in Progr Theoret Phys Suppl 144:145 154 2001) to construct different ...
Mixed reality defines the sharing of a space-time between the real and the virtual world. The definition of this concept is further extended when virtual worlds such as Second Life (SL) are included. Through cultural events such as concerts and operas, we ...
Augmented Reality enhances the user perception by overlaying real world information with virtual computer-generated information. The aims of the 6 th Sense pro ject are to maximize the user experience in mobile Augmented Reality and to improve the context- ...
Scanning probe microscope (SPM) experiments demand a low vibration level to minimize the external influence on the measured signal. We present a miniature six-degree of freedom active damping stage based on a Gough-Stewart platform (hexapod) which is posit ...
A new spin on C60: Axially chiral, pushpull buta-1,3-diene chromophores conjugated to vicinally methylated fullerenes (see picture) have high barriers of rotation about their chiral axes. These high barriers allowed their optical resolution and the determi ...
The plenoptic function describes the visual information available to an observer at any point in space and time. Samples of the plenoptic function (POF) are seen in video and in general visual content (images, mosaics, panoramic scenes, etc.), and rep- res ...
