Procedural Modeling of Buildings Composed of Arbitrarily-Shaped Floor-Plans: Background, Progress, Contributions and Challenges of a Methodology Oriented to Cultural Heritage

Computers, 2019
Virtual models' production is of high pertinence in research and business fields such as architecture, archeology, or video games, whose requirements might range between expeditious virtual building generation for extensively populating computer-based ...

Survey of Procedural Methods for Two-Dimensional Texture Generation

Sensors, 2020
Textures are the most important element for simulating real-world scenes and providing realistic and immersive sensations in many applications. Procedural textures can simulate a broad variety of surface textures, which is helpful for the design and ...

Procedural Attack! Procedural Generation for Populated Virtual Cities: A Survey

International Journal of Serious Games, 2017
On the one hand, creating rich virtual worlds "by hand" like in the game Grand Theft Auto V is hugely expensive and limited to large studios. On the other hand, procedural content generation (PCG) allows tiny teams to create huge worlds like Hello Games ...

MONET: The Minor Body Generator Tool at DART Lab

Sensors
Minor bodies exhibit considerable variability in shape and surface morphology, posing challenges for spacecraft operations, which are further compounded by highly non-linear dynamics and limited communication windows with Earth.

Procedural Generation of Artistic Patterns Using a Modified Orbit Trap Method

Applied Sciences, 2022
In the literature, we can find various methods for generating artistic patterns. One of the methods is the orbit trap method. In this paper, we propose various modifications of a variant of the orbit trap method that generates patterns with wallpaper ...

4‐nitrobenzoate inhibits 4‐hydroxybenzoate polyprenyltransferase in malaria parasites and enhances atovaquone efficacy

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Atovaquone is an antimalarial requiring potentiation for sufficient efficacy. We pursued strategies to enhance its activity, showing that 4‐nitrobenzoate inhibits 4‐hydroxybenzoate polyprenyltransferase, decreasing ubiquinone biosynthesis. Since atovaquone competes with ubiquinol in mitochondria, 4‐nitrobenzoate facilitates its action, potentiating ...

Spatiotemporal and quantitative analyses of phosphoinositides – fluorescent probe—and mass spectrometry‐based approaches

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Fluorescent probes allow dynamic visualization of phosphoinositides in living cells (left), whereas mass spectrometry provides high‐sensitivity, isomer‐resolved quantitation (right). Their synergistic use captures complementary aspects of lipid signaling. This review illustrates how these approaches reveal the spatiotemporal regulation and quantitative

Ecologically Sound Procedural Generation of Natural Environments

International Journal of Computer Games Technology, 2017
Current techniques for the creation and exploration of virtual worlds are largely unable to generate sound natural environments from ecological data and to provide interactive web-based visualizations of such detailed environments.

The Hutong neighbourhood grammar: A procedural modelling approach to unravel the rationale of historical Beijing urban structure

Frontiers of Architectural Research, 2023
Hutong neighbourhoods, composed of Chinese courtyard dwellings (Siheyuan), are historically and socially significant urban spaces that embody the traditional Chinese way of life and philosophy.
