Building information modeling can help in predicting the energy efficiency in future based on dynamic patterns obtained by visualization of data. The aim of this study was to investigate the effective parameters of energy consumption using BIM technology which can evaluate the buildings energy performance. First, three forms of general states in the building were modeled to evaluate the propose...

A new iterative one-pot sequential method for the solution-phase synthesis of oligosaccharides has been devised on the basis of the electrochemical oxidation of a propagating thioglycoside terminus to generate the corresponding triflate, followed by the reaction with a thioglycoside building block having a free hydroxyl group. A practical automated synthesizer was developed for the method and w...

For a symmetric positive semidefinite linear system of equations Qx = b, where x = (x1, . . . , xs) is partitioned into s blocks, with s ≥ 2, we show that each cycle of the classical block symmetric Gauss-Seidel (block sGS) method exactly solves the associated quadratic programming (QP) problem but added with an extra proximal term of the form 12‖x−x ‖T , where T is a symmetric positive semidef...

Experience and recent lawsuits have led large internet users to search for ways to filter email and web traffic by content. This paper reviews the prospects for this research for specific domain: pornography. We present results on a particularly challenging image-only database and describe how these image-only methods might be fused with test-based analysis to produce a multimedia system.

This document specifies Wave and Equation Based Rate Control (WEBRC), which provides rate and congestion control for data delivery. WEBRC is specifically designed to support protocols using IP multicast. It provides multiple-rate, congestion-controlled delivery to receivers, i.e., different receivers joined to the same session may be receiving packets at different rates depending on the bandwid...

A new general method for designing key-dependent reversible circuits is proposed and concrete examples are included. The method is suitable for data scrambling of internal links and memories on smart card chips in order to foil the probing attacks. It also presents a new paradigm for designing block ciphers suitable for small-size and/or high-speed hardware implementations. In particular, a con...

based approach for placement [2][3]. Onodera describes a branch and bound based placement approach [4]. Sechen’s TimberwolfMC placement and global routing tool was one of the first tools based on simulated annealing [5]. Lastly, one of the most recent proposals to placement was a rectangle packing approach described by Kajitani [6]. Each method has its merits, but so far, no method has emerged ...
