This paper describes the use of BIM models derived from point clouds for structural simulation based on Finite Element Analysis (FEA). Although BIM interoperability has reached a significant level of maturity, the density of laser point clouds provides very detailed BIM models that cannot directly be used in FEA software. The rationalization of the BIM towards a new finite element model is not ...

Memristive System is a class on non-linear systems with very interesting properties. It is considered to be the fourth basic circuit element like Resistors, Capacitors and Inductors. Till date most of the works on memristive systems concentrated on its applications in the field of designing super dense non volatile memory, crossbar latches, neural networks, modeling of neural synapses, nonlinea...

Abstract. Dense, non-aqueous phase liquids (DNAPLs) are common organic contaminants in subsurface environment. Once spilled or leaked underground, they slowly dissolved into groundwater and generated a plume of contaminants. In order to manage the contaminated site and predict the behavior of dissolved DNAPL in heterogeneous subsurface requires a comprehensive numerical model. In this work, the...

Oxygen is the most abundant element in the Earth, constituting about 43 percent by weight of the crust and mantle. While most of this mass is incorporated into silicates, the next most abundant mineral group in the planet is the oxides. The oxide minerals are generally considered to be those oxygen-based minerals that do not contain a distinct polyanionic species such as OH, CO3, SO4 PO4, SiO4,...

Reconstructing neuronal activity from MEG and EEG measurements requires the accurate calculation of the electromagnetic field inside the head. The boundary element formulation of this problem leads to a dense linear system which is too large to be solved directly. We propose to accelerate the computations via the fast multipole method. This method approximates the electromagnetic interaction be...

It is well-known that non-standard models of Peano Arithmetic have order type N+Z ·D where D is a dense linear order without first or last element. Not every order of the form N+Z ·D is the order type of a model of Peano Arithmetic, though; in general, it is not known how to characterise those D for which this is the case. In this paper, we consider syntactic fragments of Peano Arithmetic (both...

By applying nonlinear dynamics to the dense storage of information, we demonstrate how a single nonlinear dynamical element can store M items, where M is variable and can be large. This provides the capability for naturally storing data in different bases or in different alphabets and can be used to implement multilevel logic. Further we show how this method of storing information can serve as ...

We explore the structure of the p-adic automorphism group Γ of the infinite rooted regular tree. We determine the asymptotic order of a typical element, answering an old question of Turán. We initiate the study of a general dimension theory of groups acting on rooted trees. We describe the relationship between dimension and other properties of groups such as solvability, existence of dense free...

We consider the transformation ev which associates to any element in a K-algebra A a function on the the set of its K-points. This is the analogue of the fundamental Gelfand transform. Both ev and its dual ev * are the maps from a discrete K-module to a topological K-module and we investigate in which case the image of each map is dense. The answer is nontrivial for various choices of K and A a...

Abstract— Quantum dot Cellular Automata (QCA) is anticipated to allow for extremely dense nano-scale design and implementation of logic circuit over the Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS). QCA has been considered as a promising alternative to CMOS technology for its lower power consumption, higher scale integration and higher switching frequency. Moreover, the basic element in QCA i...
