Tubular daylight devices (TDDs) require a much smaller roof opening than conventional skylights and, because of their highly reflective tube, they can deliver farther away from the building envelope. This provide lighting energy savings, increasing resilience in new and existing buildings. Different types configurations are available amongst commercially TDDs, including domes/diffusers with var...

conclusions according to our results, these clinical measurements would provide valid information regarding the structure of the medial longitudinal arch. patients & methods clinical measurements of arch index (ai) and foot posture index (fpi) were performed on 40 subjects (18 boys and 22 girls), aged from 5 to 7 years referred to adabian rehabilitation center, kermanshah, iran. the study was c...

For optimization of real-world arch dams, it is unavoidable to consider two or more conflicting objectives. This paper employs two multi-objective differential evolution algorithms (MoDE) in combination of a parallel working MATLAB-APDL code to obtain a set of Pareto solutions for optimal shape of arch dams. Full dam-reservoir interaction subjected to seismic loading is considered. A benchmark ...
