ABSTRACT Background: The loop colostomy is one of the most popular techniques used as a protective maneuver for a distal anastomosis and/or temporary fecal diversion. We are introducing the use of a full thickness skin bridge under the large bowel instead of a glass rod which alleviates problems such as protrusion of the large bowel, retraction of the bowel into the abdomen after removing the ...

A robotized manufacturing cell of pre-fabricated GRC (Glass Reinforced Cement) panels for construction industry has been developed by DISAM for the Spanish construction company Dragados, S.A.The main contribution of the developed system is the automatic program~ ming and control of the whole plan. The architect's 3D-drawing of the building facade done on a CAD system serves as input. From the C...

Thermal performance is a major part of the building envelope and getting more attention globally. Nowadays, parametric design methods are used in design, such as facade for optimization envelopes, which could affect thermal energy consumption. Moreover, new technologies applied to have not only changed appearance cities but also increased occupant comfort. This paper illustrates systematic revi...

Many industrial buildings are growing in Indonesia, one of them being the fishing industry. However, industry has a monotonous and rigid facade. The facade is an essential element that makes first impression. This study aims to evaluate how ideal building, especially method used descriptive qualitative on several parameters façade design. results form evaluation guidelines facade, terms visuals...

We investigate a strategy for reconstructing of buildings from multiple (uncalibrated) images. In a similar manner to the Facade approach we first generate a coarse piecewise planar model of the principal scene planes and their delineations, and then use these facets to guide the search for indentations and protrusions such as windows and doors. However, unlike the Facade approach which involve...

Corner lines, line signatures related to building facades in SAR images, are commonly related to signal double reflections, either specular or diffuse. However, the scene properties building orientation, building shape, surface roughness often do not correspond to this expectation. This paper presents a 3D representative simulation case study, based on ray tracing and a detailed facade model, i...

Building facades have evident effects on indoor thermal comfort. Hence, the basis of a multifunctional residential building in Sydney, Australia, this research uses DesignBuilder software to optimize passive system design facades. This also analyses influences changing window glazing type, adding additional shading devices and material exterior wall Results show that number uncomfortable hours ...
