Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Smart city initiatives aim for sustainability and inclusiveness, but recent evidence shows that they often lead to injustices. Although this contradiction has received growing academic attention, a comprehensive understanding of how justice is addressed within smart city practices remains limited.

The effect of thickness and laying pattern of paver on concrete block pavement [PDF]
, 2006 In concrete block pavements, the blocks make up the wearing surface and are a major load-spreading component of the pavement. Earlier findings were inconsistent with respect to the deflection response of concrete blocks in the pavement.

Volume Quantization with Flexible Singularities for Hexahedral Meshing
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract We present a novel algorithm for quantization and subsequent hexahedral mesh generation from seamless volumetric maps. Quantization is the process of choosing integers that represent the numbers of hexahedral elements to be placed in each region of the volume, and transforming the seamless map into an integer‐grid map matching that choice ...

DiskScissors: Cutting Arbitrary‐Topology Solids for Bijective Mapping
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract An algorithm for cutting solid objects in a topology‐controlled manner is presented. Concretely, given a loop on the object boundary, a disk‐topology cut surface bounded by the loop is constructed in the interior. In contrast to various previous approaches, both disk topology and conformance to the prescribed loop are ensured by construction ...

Highway accelerated loading instrument (HALI) testing on permanent deformation for concrete block pavement [PDF]
, 2007 Experiment concrete block pavements (CBP) are essential to study and assess the structural pavement performance. Accelerated loading testing is able to determine the pavement response and performance under a controlled, accelerated, accumulation of ...

International Journal of Art &Design Education, EarlyView.Abstract This autoethnographic study lies at the intersection of architectural, teaching and research practice through the lens of an architect‐teacher‐researcher working in post‐Apartheid South Africa. The research traces a shift from unconscious design practice to a more conscious, critical and careful practice through practice‐based design research ...
