Statistical analysis of chemical computational systems with MULTIVESTA and ALCHEMIST [PDF]

, 2013
The chemical-oriented approach is an emerging paradigm for programming the behaviour of densely distributed and context-aware devices (e.g. in ecosystems of displays tailored to crowd steering, or to obtain profile-based coordinated visualization ...

Anisotropic Thermal Properties of Electrically Insulating Thin Films and Sheets: A Review

Small Methods, EarlyView.
Thermally conducting and electrically insulating materials with anisotropy properties play an integral role in advanced thermal management, in particular for electronic devices. This review discusses recent progress in enhancing thermal conductivity and controlling the thermal anisotropy between in‐plane and cross‐plane (through‐thickness) directions ...

Analysis of the Efficiency of Slope Evacuation for Dense Crowds in Urban Street-Type Public Spaces

Applied Sciences
Street-type spaces, characterized by their relative closedness and propensity for human congregation, inherently carry potential safety evacuation risks. In order to study the influence of slopes on the evacuation efficiency of pedestrians in street-type

Simulation of Crowd Problems for Computer Vision [PDF]

, 2005
This work presents an approach for generating video evidence of dangerous situations in crowded scenes. The scenarios of interest are those with high safety risk such as blocked exit, collapse of a person in the crowd, and escape panic.

Behavior of manufactured sand and recycled coarse aggregate concrete‐filled steel tubular stub columns with circular section

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Accelerated urbanization has intensified environmental concerns due to excessive natural resource consumption and construction waste generation. Circular concrete‐filled steel tube (CFST) columns incorporating manufactured sand recycled coarse aggregate (MS‐RCA) concrete have emerged as an innovative composite element offering notable ...

Eco‐ductile design of RC columns: Resolving the conflict between embodied carbon and curvature ductility

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Reducing embodied carbon emissions in structural design is of critical importance in combating global climate change. However, the increased material usage and heavy confinement reinforcement required to meet high ductility demands in reinforced concrete columns directly conflict with environmental sustainability goals.

The discrete dynamics of small-scale spatial events: agent-based models of mobility in carnivals and street parades [PDF]

, 2002
Small-scale spatial events are situations in which elements or objects vary in such away that temporal dynamics is intrinsic to their representation and explanation. Someof the clearest examples involve local movement from conventional traffic modelingto
