[email protected] Abstract — As powerful as Building Information Modeling (BIM) tools are in modeling the built environment, current BIM strategies limit the size of facilities that can be modeled while increasing the time needed for modeling and the quality of BIM models produced. In the same way that prefabricated modular construction techniques are improving the speed and quality of const...

Despite the growing attention given to modular construction in UK, a lack of investigation into practical challenges and limitations experienced by contractors has been noted. Hence, this study aims critically assess feasibility volumetric from perspective who have applied method real-world projects. The adopted qualitative research approach using case technique selected two projects Newcastle ...

This paper presents the P-RIO environment which offers high level, but straightforward, concepts for parallel and distributed programming. A simple software construction methodology makes most of the useful object oriented programming technology properties available, facilitating modularity and code reuse. This methodology promotes a clear separation of the individual sequential computation com...

We give a new construction of a p-adic L-function L(f,Ξ), for f a holomorphic newform and Ξ an anticyclotomic family of Hecke characters of Q( √ −d). The construction uses Ichino’s triple product formula to express the central values of L(f, ξ, s) in terms of Petersson inner products, and then uses results of Hida to interpolate them. The resulting construction is well-suited for studying what ...
