In this paper, on the basis of Green Comprehensive Plan at Hakim Sabzevari University of Sabzevar, Iran, the application of active solar  systems for the dining hall is evaluated. The impact of solar systems and energy management designed for this hall on energy consumption and environment was investigated.This study measures the electricity and thermal energy consumption of the dining hall , p...

looking from an historical perspective, it can be seen that many civilizations have lived in the country and consequently produced many different cultures and architectural products. one of the oldest cities which contain such historical examples which have lived until present is tabriz. its traditional houses are the most important places to represent the life style of the past. lack of recogn...

Façade overturning is a frequently observed collapse mechanism occurring in unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings during high-intensity, earthquake-induced shaking. Following complete separation from building, the rocking motion of URM façade and associated impact against return walls are factors that continue to contribute out-of-plane capacity. Seismic vulnerability studies façades have histor...

The process of building Façade, a first-person, real-time, one-act interactive drama, has involved three major research efforts: designing ways to deconstruct a dramatic narrative into a hierarchy of story and behavior pieces; engineering an AI system that responds to and integrates the player’s moment-by-moment interactions to reconstruct a real-time dramatic performance from those pieces; and...

Background We have begun to perform routine and research MRI right heart catheterization in adults and research MRI catheterization in children. We report our technologist workflow. Methods Scanner preparation: The scanner façade and bore are covered with adhesive clear sterile drapes and surface coils enveloped in sterile plastic bags. A MR catheterization pack contains only non-ferromagnetic ...

Figure 0. Waterjet Cut models of two Façade Systems The inclusion of technological devices in the built environment may eventually have a profound influence on architecture and may lead to new design philosophies that solve tectonically the dialogue between traditional materials and computer networks; this document describes an exploration on a façade system that articulates distributed network...

Air conditioning is an important part in building services world-wide in both commercial and residential buildings. With the general attempt to reduce the usage of fossil fuels and increase the usage of green solutions, the market for solar air conditioning is growing rapidly. Solar air conditioning combines solar thermal absorbers to transfer solar radiation into heat with heat-driven cooling ...
