The growing importance of sustainability affects new markets for the construction industry; the rehabilitation and refurbishment of existing buildings and civil engineering works is getting more and more into the focus of construction activities. This also ...
Direct constructions for balanced tournaments known so far solve problems with 2n teams if 2n mod 3 not equal 1 or 2n = 2(p), p >= 3 or n is odd. Our construction uses an arbitrary partition of the league into subleagues. It solves more than half of the mi ...
Within the last years, architectural design has shown great interest in the design of new and complex geometries, commonly known as 'free-form' architecture. The lack of constructive feasibility of the designed architectural objects led us to consider disc ...
Nowadays, buildings are increasingly seen as a pressing environmental problem. By their very nature, they affect and transform the land on which they are built by changing and destroying habitats and causing loss of biological diversity. On a macro level, ...
Energy dissipation systems such as single fall-stilling basin and single chute bucket have been used in the design and construction of large dams. In the case of high head structures, however, due to the high flow velocity, these systems suffer from proble ...
Abstract. Singularity is a research project in Microsoft Research that started with the question: what would a software platform look like if it was designed from scratch with the primary goal of dependability? Singularity is working to answer this questio ...
The road to a successful introduction of vehicular communications has to pass through the analysis of potential security threats and the design of a robust security architecture able to cope with these threats. In this paper, we undertake this challenge. I ...
Reducing the complexity of large systems described as complex networks is key to understanding them and a crucial issue is to know which properties of the initial system are preserved in the reduced one. Here we use random walks to design a coarse graining ...
Le projet se situe au centre de Berlin, plus précisément dans le quartier historique de Spandauer Vorstadt. Il propose une maison offrant du logement de standard élevé ainsi que du commerce. C'est dans une "Baulücke", une surface qui depuis les destruction ...
Cascade stilling basins system, consisting of a series of falls and stilling basins, may be a good alternative energy dissipation system for high head dams. Traditional design of such a system is based on a trial and error procedure by which the number and ...
