Applying Evolutionary Computation to Optimize the Design of Urban Blocks

open access: yesBuildings, 2023
This empirical study in this paper focuses on the application of evolutionary computation in parametric urban block design to solve the problem of how to effectively find the optimal design solution set among a large number of schemes obtained through ...

Automating the Creation of Shape Grammar Rules [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Shape grammars have the potential to be used in many design applications. One of the most limiting factors is that, currently, a shape grammar must be created by an expert trained in the creation and usage of shape grammars. In this paper we describe how

What exactly is Universal Grammar, and has anyone seen it? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Universal Grammar (UG) is a suspect concept. There is little agreement on what exactly is in it; and the empirical evidence for it is very weak.

Inferring a shape grammar: translating designer's knowledge [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
This article focuses on a shape grammar that was developed to enable the adaptation of existing houses – “rabo-de-bacalhau” housing style - to new requirements and most particular on the process of inference of the grammar.

Modeling and Fitting 3D Shapes via Shape Grammar [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
In this thesis, we introduce a 3D Shape Grammar for generating man-made objects and an optimization algorithm to fit the structure and parameters of the grammar to a given point cloud. While simple grammars, e.g.

Forecasting the Dialysis Burden in Japan: Validation‐Based Projections of Prevalence and Incidence Through 2050

open access: yesTherapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Japan has one of the highest dialysis prevalence rates worldwide and a shrinking, aging population. Whether dialysis burden has entered a sustained post‐peak phase or whether recent declines partly reflect pandemic‐related disruptions remains uncertain.

Procedural Reconstruction of 3D Indoor Models from Lidar Data Using Reversible Jump Markov Chain Monte Carlo

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2020
Automated reconstruction of Building Information Models (BIMs) from point clouds has been an intensive and challenging research topic for decades. Traditionally, 3D models of indoor environments are reconstructed purely by data-driven methods, which are ...

Exploiting lattice structures in shape grammar implementations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The ability to work with ambiguity and compute new designs based on both defined and emergent shapes are unique advantages of shape grammars. Realizing these benefits in design practice requires the implementation of general purpose shape grammar ...

The (Glg)ABCs of cyanobacteria: modelling of glycogen synthesis and functional divergence of glycogen synthases in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We reconstituted Synechocystis glycogen synthesis in vitro from purified enzymes and showed that two GlgA isoenzymes produce glycogen with different architectures: GlgA1 yields denser, highly branched glycogen, whereas GlgA2 synthesizes longer, less‐branched chains.
