Biomimetic spatial and temporal (4D) design and fabrication [PDF]
, 2013 We imagine the built environment of the future as a ‘bio-hybrid machine for living in’ that will sense and react to activities within the space in order to provide experiences and services that will elevate quality of life while coexisting seamlessly ...

The Pfaffian-Grassmannian equivalence revisited [PDF]
, 2014 We give a new proof of the 'Pfaffian-Grassmannian' derived equivalence between certain pairs of non-birational Calabi-Yau threefolds. Our proof follows the physical constructions of Hori and Tong, and we factor the equivalence into three steps by passing

Concrete in architecture: Redefining form, space, function, and insights from bibliometric analysis
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract Concrete has become a cornerstone in architectural and engineering innovation, as it seamlessly integrates structural performance with artistic expression. Its evolution from ancient opus caementicium to contemporary ultra‐high‐performance concrete illustrates its adaptability to the change in technological, environmental, and design paradigms.

Wulff construction in statistical mechanics and in combinatorics
, 2000 We present the geometric solutions to some variational problems of statistical mechanics and combinatorics. Together with the Wulff construction, which predicts the shape of the crystals, we discuss the construction which exhibits the shape of a typical ...

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract Fly ash foam composite concrete (FFC) is a sustainable, lightweight alternative to traditional concrete. However, accurately predicting its compressive strength (CS) through conventional laboratory methods is challenging due to its non‐linear behavior induced by the addition of foam content and fly ash. Also, the laboratory determination of CS

Comparative Analysis of Space Efficiency in Skyscrapers with Prismatic, Tapered, and Free Forms
BuildingsThis study offers a thorough comparative analysis of space efficiency in skyscrapers across three distinct forms: prismatic, tapered, and free. By examining case studies from each form category, this research investigates how architectural and structural

Macau as Method: Recombinant Urbanism in Post‐Socialist China
Asia Pacific Viewpoint, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In ‘Asia as Method’, Chen Kuan‐Hsing argues for the value of an indigenous inter‐Asian approach to analysing the effects of European imperialism on the countries and citizens of Asia. This article mobilises both Chen's inter‐Asian referencing strategy and the city‐state of Macau to explore Macau's role in China's engagements with global ...

The Modern Language Journal, EarlyView.Abstract This study investigates the pedagogical impact of integrating cognitive linguistics (CL) into concept‐based language instruction (C‐BLI) for teaching English modal verbs. Eighty‐nine Mandarin‐speaking university learners were assigned to one of three instructional conditions: C‐BLI with CL‐based conceptualizations (C‐BLI‐CL), C‐BLI with non‐CL
