Dynamic Wave Trains: A Procedural Approach to Spatially Varying Ocean Synthesis
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.In this paper, we present a high performance procedural model capable of synthesizing and rendering a virtually infinite ocean. Our method exhibits spatial variations as the orientations, speed and choppiness of the waves is parametrized for each frequencies and each point in space. The provided visual abstract exhibits a sunset rendering of a large 40

Lifetime structural robustness of concrete bridge piers under corrosion [PDF]
, 2012 The lifetime structural robustness of concrete bridge piers under environmental damage is investigated in deterministic and probabilistic terms. Criteria and methods for the definition of lifetime performance indicators and the quantitative evaluation of

Shape of Water: Power Dynamics for Supply Chain Resilience
Journal of Supply Chain Management, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The world is facing climate change‐driven disruptions such as extreme weather events, which affect nature as well as firms and their supply chains. Nonetheless, little is known about how supply chain players shape their socioecological resilience, including from a power perspective.

HEAVY TRUCK COLLISION WITH BRIDGE PIERS [PDF]
, 2019 Based on bridge failure data compiled by the New York State Department of Transportation, collision, both caused by vessels and vehicles, is the second leading cause of bridge failures after hydraulic.

Pursuing patents for their own sake: How the investment discourse shapes patent quality and quantity
The Journal of World Intellectual Property, EarlyView.Abstract Patent systems worldwide face criticisms over declining patent quality and increasing patent quantity. While most research focuses on strengthening examination rigour, this article turns attention to relatively underexplored patenting incentives.

What Does Intarsia Say? Materiality and Spirituality in the Urbino Studiolo☆
Renaissance Studies, EarlyView.Abstract Upon entering the Urbino studiolo of Federico da Montefeltro, the visitor is struck by a material‐charged environment. Surprisingly, only a few scholars have addressed one prominent aspect of the decorative scheme, namely, the feature of intarsia as a medium. Even so, it remains on the sidelines of the discussion.

Comparison of performance of shape memory alloy reinforced bridge piers with conventional bridge piers using incremental dynamic analysis [PDF]
, 2014 Bridge piers built in active seismic regions can sustain large residual displacements following a strong earthquake. In many recent major earthquakes residual displacement enforced demolition of bridge piers due to the serviceability and/or safety ...

Local scour at single piers revisited [PDF]
, 2014 The paper summarizes recent contributions of the authors on the effects of relative flow depth,relative sand size, time and fluid viscosity, on the scour depth at single piers.
