Building geometries strongly constrain the on-site solar energy use. In this work, use is measured by penetration and capital costs for photovoltaic panel installations. This work provides a novel typological method investigating interactions between urban design. Compared to other studies using methods, uses that highlights both computational efficiency relevance vernacular contexts. Typical b...

Traditional folk architecture on Tara mountain, generally speaking, belongs to cultural areal of traditional building dinarska brvnara type, i.e. made wood. In direct connection with Zlatibor where we can find some the best examples vernacular architecture, mountain does not show any specificity but at same time lag behind comparison other regions type building. this paper are presenting result...

This paper presents the Durham Mathematical Vernacular (MV) project. The project aims to develop the technology for interactive tools based on proof checking with type theory, which allow mathematicians to develop mathematics in their usual vernacular. Its sub-goals are to develop type theory technology to support MV and to develop the corresponding NL technology. Mathematical language has many...

The variation patterns of the variable (ING) in an American college fraternity are explained by analyzing individual men's contextualized discourse. While most of the fraternity men predictably use a lower rate of the `vernacular' variant in weekly meetings, several men use a higher rate. I argue that all of the men index alignment roles associated with power, but that these alignment roles are...
