A method called PAINT is introduced for computationally expensive multiobjective optimization problems. The method interpolates between a given set of Pareto optimal outcomes. The interpolation provided by the PAINT method implies a mixed integer linear surrogate problem for the original problem which can be optimized with any interactive method to make decisions concerning the original problem...

This paper describes the design, features and advantages of a drawing application -the L.E.C.G.O-Paint applicationthat is part of a constructivist multi-representational computer environment designed for beginners’ learning of Programming and C (the LECGO environment; Kordaki, 2007). L.E.C.G.O-Paint supplies tools that provide support for students to express their own intuitive graphical soluti...

We present a novel painting system for 3D objects. In order to overcome parameterization problems of existing applications, we propose a unified sample-based approach to represent geometry and appearance of the 3D object as well as the brush surface. The generalization of 2D pixel-based paint models to point samples allows us to elegantly simulate paint transfer for 3D objects. In contrast to m...

Background & Aims: Nanosilver-based paint is a new technology with antimicrobial and antifungal characteristics. These characteristics were investigated in this study with regard to fungal contamination in hospitals. Method: Regarding hospitalization of transplant patients and their sensitivity to hospital infections, two similar rooms were selected in nephrology ward. One of them was paint...

In this paper, the corrosion behavior of the filled epoxy paint with the rice husk ash RHA on steel substrates in two different corrosive environments natural sea water and 2M sulfuric acid has been studied. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy EIS was used to evaluate protective properties of different organic coating systems due to the different filler composition. RHA was prepared by heati...

lead-based paint is an important cause of lead poisoning. this report describes our observation of excessive lead absorption among employees in a paint factory in which lead naphthenate and lead oxalate were used as drying agents in paint. in this study, blood levels of lead were compared between nineteen paint factory employees and twenty normal controls. the nineteen paint factory employees h...

Low skid resistance of road marking paint is one of the major issues in the safety of vehicle drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians when traveling on the city streets. Among the variety of marking paint, two-component paint is widely used at intersections and roundabouts. Therefore, the paint used should have adequate skid resistance. The object of this study was to evaluat...

This report presents case studies which document site visits conducted to characterize paint related waste activities of Illinois paint manufacturers, users, and waste processing facilities. Case studies are presented for eight paint users, four paint manufacturers, and one paint related waste processing facility within Illinois. In addition, two case studies document visits to waste processing...

T h e paint industry makes a variety of products that preserve, protect and enhance the objects to which they are applied. Although the post-consumer residuals of these products are usually labeled non-hazardous, they have often been termed “environmentally unfriendly” as has the industry responsible for creating them. With 1,400 manufacturing plants and an output of more than 1.1 billion gallo...
