چکیده

We report a small advance on a question raised by Robertson, Schweitzer, andWagon in [RSW02]. They constructed a genus-13 polyhedron built from bricks without corners, and asked whether every genus-0 such polyhedron must have a corner. A brick is a parallelopiped, and a corner is a brick of degree three or less in the brick graph. We describe a genus-3 polyhedron built from bricks with no corner, narrowing the genus gap.

On corners of objects built from parallelepiped bricks

We investigate a question initiated in the work of Sibley and Wagon, who proved that 3 colors suffice to color any collection of 2D parallelograms glued edge-to-edge. Their proof relied on the existence of an “elbow” parallelogram. We explore the existence of analogous “corner” parallelepipeds in 3D objects, which would lead to 4-coloring. Our results are threefold. First, we refine the 2D proo...

Coloring Objects Built From Bricks

We address a question posed by T. Sibley and Stan Wagon. They proved that rhombic Penrose tilings in the plane can be 3-colored, but a key lemma of their proof fails in the natural 3D generalization. In that generalization, an object is built from bricks, each of which is a parellelopiped, and they are glued face-toface. The question is: How many colors are needed to color the bricks of any suc...

Experimental Study on Compressive Strength of Brick Using Natural Fibres

Despite the use of modern materials, clay bricks are reasonably preferable materials nowadays. However, the moo fetched and flexibility of clay bricks are not related with tall natural and feasible values, particularly with regard to crude fabric sources and fabricating processes. Agricultural world is growing fast, with increased rural arrive development and land cultivation leading to massive...

Prospect 1 and Four Corners 1 in the Spotlight: Textbook Evaluation with Some Reference to Critical Discourse Analysis

As an analytical type of approach, Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) deals with the emphasis on social practice, identity, power, and ideology built through text and speech in socio-political and educational contexts. Having proposed a theoretical framework, it uncovered all discrepant ways through which power and societal practices are produced in written and spoken texts. Moreover, mingled wi...

Meshing complex macro-scale objects into self-assembling bricks

Self-assembly provides an information-economical route to the fabrication of objects at virtually all scales. However, there is no known algorithm to program self-assembly in macro-scale, solid, complex 3D objects. Here such an algorithm is described, which is inspired by the molecular assembly of DNA, and based on bricks designed by tetrahedral meshing of arbitrary objects. Assembly rules are ...
