The current trend towards globalization forces the AEC community to change its practical approach from a non-systematic, labor-intensive to a systematic one. Based on the paradigm shifted from ‘drawing’ to ‘constructing’ in architectural design practice, this paper focuses on developing a new type of CAD system that automatically constructs and manages well-structured floor plans with minimum g...

Interior space design is a collaborative process for deriving different proposals on the content and structure of any type of interior space. This process is partially supported by mainstream CAD systems which are not designed for that particular task but for general engineeringor architectural-design development. Although, several add-on modules have been developed for supporting mainly arctit...

Hierarchies of patterns of features, of subassemblies, or of CSG sub-expressions are used in architectural and mechanical CAD to eliminate laborious repetitions from the design process. Yet, often the placement, shape, or even existence of a selection of the repeated occurrences in the pattern must be adjusted. The specification of a desired selection of occurrences in a hierarchy of patterns i...

In this paper, an effective T-gate with Drain-Field-Plate (TGDFP) technology is used in GaN-based HEMT for high breakdown voltage of 500V and drain current of 540mA/mm. Silvaco TCAD simulation showed that normally-off TGDFP HEMT with recessed gate length of 0.5μm exhibited high threshold voltage up to +1V and transconductance of 140mS/mm along with frequency operation in Sband (∼3GHz). The prop...

Research in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) has been enormously successful in the area of computeraided ergonomics or human-centric designs. Perfect fit for people has always been a target for product design. Designers traditionally used anthropometric dimensions for 3D product design which created a lot of fitting problems when dealing with the complexities of the human body shapes. Computer ...

The role of acoustics in architectural planning processes is often neglected if the designer lacks necessary experience in acoustics. Even if an acoustic consultant is involved he might be presented with limited options after the initial planning process. Some disadvantageous decisions might be hard to reverse then. To improve and facilitate the construction process permanent immediate feedback...

During the early stages of architectural training, tangibility plays an important role in developing spatial awareness. In such contexts, tangible user interfaces are believed to provide a significant advantage as they combine the affordances of both the physical and the digital world. We introduce CubeExplorer, a hybrid 3D conceptual aid that combines physical interaction and digital modeling ...

The search for novel representation method is one of the critical components creative design process. Discoveries in science, such as four-dimensional (4D) spacetime, influenced artists and architects. However, existing techniques constrained two-dimensional (2D) sheets 4D spacetime evaluated a limitation architecture discipline. Currently, digital game environments are potential mediums archit...

background: the existing evidence suggests that plasma adiponectin concentrations can be indicative of the presence and severity of coronary artery disease (cad). however, the results of the studies conducted hitherto on this subject are inconsistent. we sought to investigate the possible correlation between plasma adiponectin levels and the presence and severity of cad in patients undergoing n...
