Mixed Mode buildings as approach to reduce energy consumption in office buildings in greater Cairo in Egypt [PDF]
Passive buildings conserve energy by decreasing need for HVAC, but it is hard to achieve full thermal comfort unlike air-conditioned buildings. mixed-mode buildings depend on passive mode when thermal comfort is achievable with natural ventilation and ...

We present a novel setup in which real objects made of different materials can be mixed optically. For the materials we chose mutually very different materials, which we assume to represent canonical modes. The appearance of 3D objects consisting of any material can be described as linear superposition of 3D objects of different canonical materials, as

Fatigue Delamination Behavior of GFRP Composites under Mixed-Mode I/II Loading [PDF]
Delamination is a severe threat to the wide use of composite laminates in primary structural applications. Delamination grows under fatigue loading and leads to structural failure. Very few studies exist on mixed-mode delamination on carbon fiber however

Study on Winter Comfort Temperature in Mixed Mode and HVAC Office Buildings in Japan
Comfort temperature is important to investigate because the chosen office indoor temperatures affect the energy used in a building, and a thermally comfortable environment makes the occupants be more productive.

Mixed mode matrix multiplication [PDF]
In modern clustering environments where the memory hierarchy has many layers (distributed memory, shared memory layer, cache, ...), an important question is how to fully utilize all available resources and identify the most dominant layer in certain computation.

A thermodynamically consistent derivation of a frictional-damage cohesive-zone model with different mode i and mode II fracture energies [PDF]
The present paper deals with the derivation of an interface model characterized by macroscopic fracture energies which are different in modes I and II, the macroscopic fracture energy being the total energy dissipated per unit of fracture area.

Is there an association between survey characteristics and representativeness? A meta-analysis
How to achieve survey representativeness is a controversially debated issue in the field of survey methodology. Common questions include whether probability-based samples produce more representative data than nonprobability samples, whether the response ...
