The influence of the bioclimatic elements upon the building behavior is analyzed using Matlab/ Simulink and toolbox HAMBASE. However, this software does not take into account a crucial element characteristic of these bioclimatic buildings, the air density. We propose an enhancement of existing computer code by adding a model to calculate the air density characteristic along the already existing...

setback in elevation of a structure is a special irregularity with considerable effect on its seismic performance. this paper addresses multistory reinforced concrete (rc) frame buildings, regular and irregular in elevation. several multistory reinforced concrete moment resisting frames (rcmrfs) with different types of setbacks, as well as the regular frames in elevation, are designed according...

We are building a compiler that automatically translates sequential scientiic programs into parallel code for scalable parallel machines. Many of the compiler techniques needed to generate correct and eecient code are common across all scalable machines, regardless of whether its address space is shared or distributed. This paper describes the structure of the compiler, emphasizing the common a...

Software building is an important task during software development. However, program analysis supports for build code are still limited, especially for build code written in a dynamic language such as Make. We propose SYMake, a novel program analysis tool for build code in Makefiles that is capable of detecting several types of code smells and errors and providing automatic supports in renaming...

Biology is an analytical and informational science that is becoming increasingly dependent on chemical synthesis. One example is the high-throughput and low-cost synthesis of DNA, which is a foundation for the research field of synthetic biology (SB). The aim of SB is to provide biotechnological solutions to health, energy and environmental issues as well as unsustainable manufacturing processe...

In 2001, the Texas State Senate passed Senate Bill 5 to reduce ozone levels by encouraging the reduction of emissions of NOx that were not regulated by the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission. These include point sources (power plants), area sources (such as residential emissions), road mobile sources, and non-road mobile sources. For the building energy sector, the Texas State Legis...

We study the problem of building generative models of natural source code (NSC); that is, source code written and understood by humans. Our primary contribution is to describe a family of generative models for NSC that have three key properties: First, they incorporate both sequential and hierarchical structure. Second, we learn a distributed representation of source code elements. Finally, the...
