The paper analyzes the “Origin” and the “Derivative” of Hakka Enclosed Dwelling’s by a specific transmutation instance of Longsheng House of Liuzhou in Qing Dynasty, and researches on Hakka Enclosed Dwelling’s layout, size, and the transmutation of forms. It points out that as one of the fittest to the environment among the vernacular dwelling, Enclosed Dwelling’s construction site and defence ...

We report a simple and inexpensive approach to the fabrication of enclosed nanoscale channels composed of silica nanoparticles on planar Si surfaces using interferometric lithography to define the long-range pattern in a photoresist film followed by spin-coating self-assembly of colloidal silica nanoparticles and high-temperature calcination to remove the photoresist leaving open nanochannels. ...

Global active noise control has been obtained on the tonal noise from a small centrifugal blower, similar to those used in laptop computers. Compact control systems were investigated for two configurations. The blower was mounted in both a short rectangular duct and in a mock laptop case that was modeled as a two-dimensional rectangular enclosure. Secondary sources and error sensors were locate...

K 1 9 Pbs0 4 ( 0 H ) 3 crystallizes in the cubic system with space group F m 3 m (a = 1622.7(4) pm; Z = 4). KPb crystallizes with the NaPb structure type (tetragonal, space group M j/acd, a = 1153.2(6) pm, c = 1886.8(9) pm, Z = 32). The crystal structures o f both com ­ pounds contain Zintl-anions [Pb4]4as characteristic building units, which in the Zintl phase are separated by potassium cation...

Cellular aggregates may be considered as collections of membrane enclosed units with a pressure difference between the internal and external liquid phases. Cells are kept together by membrane adhesion and/or confined space compression. Pattern formation and, in particular, intercellular spacing have important roles in controlling solvent diffusion within such aggregates. A physical approach is ...

We present a novel method for clustering using the support vector machine approach. Data points are mapped to a high dimensional feature space, where support vectors are used to define a sphere enclosing them. The boundary of the sphere forms in data space a set of closed contours containing the data. Data points enclosed by each contour are defined as a cluster. As the width parameter of the G...

To identify possible iron sources for bacteroids in planta, soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.) symbiosomes (consisting of the bacteroid-containing peribacteroid space enclosed by the peribacteroid membrane [PBM]) and bacteroids were assayed for the ability to transport iron supplied as various ferric [Fe(III)]-chelates. Iron presented as a number of Fe(III)-chelates was transported at much higher r...

The study of spatial cognition has benefited greatly from a technique known as the disorientation procedure. This procedure was originally used with rats to show that they relied on the geometry of an enclosed space to locate a target hidden in that space. Disorientation has since been used with a variety of mobile animals, including human children, to examine the coding of geometric informatio...

The novel STEVE (i.e., Space-Time-Enclosing Volume Extraction) algorithm is described here for the very first time. It generates iso-valued hypersurfaces that may be implicitly contained in four-dimensional (4D) data sets, such as temporal sequences of three-dimensional images from time-varying computed tomography. Any final hypersurface that will be generated by STEVE is guaranteed to be free ...
