The HEAR to Learn Center - Acoustics The Board believes that these standards should be incorporated into the acoustical requirements of the model building codes and is working toward this goal. The IBC is a cooperative effort on the part of national model code organizations to bring uniformity to building codes. Several acoustics professionals, parents of children with hearing impairments, individuals who are hard of hearing, and a consortium of organizations representing them also urged the Board to consider research and rulemaking on the acoustical performance of buildings and facilities, in particular school classrooms and related student facilities. www.heartolearncenter.org /acoustics.php   (1408 words)

Inside the Playstation 2: PS2 Architecture, Graphics Rendering and Programming In this case, the model (with approximately 40,000 triangles) is rendered with the vertices perturbed by a procedural amount along the normal at that vertex. In this case, the model remains the same and the act of swapping the microcode determines whether it is rendered as triangles or as particles. The Lobster is a useful object for exploring procedural rendering as it is a composite object made three parts, head, backbone and ribcage, each of which is a fully parameterized procedural object. www.bringyou.to /games/PS2.htm   (1408 words)

Model (physical) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A model in this sense is a physical object such as an architectural model of a projected building or an existing one. The geometry of the model and the object it represents are often similar in the sense that one is a rescaling of the other; in such cases the scale is an important characteristic. The purpose of a physical model on a larger scale may be to see the structure of things that are normally too small to see properly or to see at all, for example a model of an insect or of a molecule. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Model_(physical)   (555 words)

Addressing Problems with Model Driven Architecture These architectural issues, such as persistence, transactions, and security, are not clearly encapsulated in UML models, making it difficult to abstract architectural concerns and reuse them for different platforms. UML model complexity: This complexity is the result of evolving from a UML analysis model to a detailed UML design model. The architect must ensure that the UML model reflects changes for each instance in which an architecture pattern or decision is used. www.developer.com /design/article.php/1121801   (713 words)

Ellipsis...The Interactivator Architectural concepts are expressed as generative rules so that their evolution and development can be accelerated and tested by the use of computer models. It proposes the evolutionary model of nature as the generating process for architectural form, in an attempt to achieve in the built environment the symbiotic behaviour and metabolic balance that are characteristic of the natural environment.

Acoustics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Architectural acoustics is the study of how sound and buildings interact including the behavior of sound in concert halls and auditoriums but also in office buildings, factories and homes. The Helmholtz resonator is an example of the lumped component model of acoustic systems which is useful when the wavelength of interest is significantly larger than the physical dimensions of the system. Acoustics is a branch of physics and is the study of sound, mechanical waves in gases, liquids, and solids. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Acoustics   (1173 words)

The Adaptive Object-Model Architectural Style This paper describes the Adaptive Object-Models architectural style and the consequences of using it.   The Adaptive Object-Model architectural style has not been well described, and most of the architects that use it don’t realize how widely it is used. Architectures that are designed to adapt at runtime to new user requirement by retrieving descriptive information that can be interpreted at runtime are sometimes called a "reflective architecture" or a "meta-architecture". www.adaptiveobjectmodel.com /WICSA3/ArchitectureOfAOMsWICSA3.htm   (4731 words)

GIZA PLATEAU COMPUTER MODEL To accomplish this a computer model of the entire plateau and its architectural components had to be created from published maps, survey, and excavation reports. Fortunately for her, our computer model of the Zoser complex was easily adapted to illustrate her forthcoming article correlating the three stelae beneath the step pyramid and the three stelae associated with the south tomb. Using the ARRIS program's Modeling and Rendering module, each wireframe model had surface geometry applied to it so that it could be rendered as a solid object, and then each was added to the surface terrain model in their appropriate locations. oi.uchicago.edu /OI/DEPT/COMP/GIZ/MODEL/Giza_Model.html   (1625 words)

Requirements Management Services and the Requirements and V&V Process Model Extending traditional information models, with extensive traceability, such as holding functional and functional interface requirements and product and architectural solutions to be able to perform HAZOP and FMEA's, record derived requirements and actions, so formally capturing the design and its analysis, leading to derived requirements. A process model and specification tree are useful to (a) understand the needed integrity of the model and enforce change control and configuration management of the set of documents which exist at a point in time, and (b) acts as the basis to generate metrics to indicate both the progress through process (e.g. The process model produces the documents in the specification tree while the information model is the basis on which the underlying data is managed, link, stored, viewed, and operated on. www.beaver-consulting.co.uk /RequirementsProcess.htm   (4518 words)

Introduction to Internet The model was developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in 1984, and it is now considered the primary architectural model for intercomputer communications. The OSI model provides a conceptual framework for communication between computers, but the model itself is not a method of communication. The OSI model divides the tasks involved with moving information between networked computers into seven smaller, more manageable task groups. www.cisco.com /univercd/cc/td/doc/cisintwk/ito_doc/introint.htm   (6558 words)

Guardian Unlimited The Guardian The olde worlde order Model villages feel comforting and cute - but they are all about keeping us under control, says Jonathan Glancey Today Milton Abbas, Lord Milton's model village, is a smart and special place to live: when it was built it was probably not much fun at all. A way of building rural and, eventually, suburban homes was emerging that would take over the British countryside in the 20th century and continues apace today with neo-Georgian executive estates and Prince Charles's model villages of Poundbury and, now, St Austell. www.guardian.co.uk /arts/story/0,3604,661368,00.html   (6558 words)

CADENCE AEC Tech News #87 (Nov. 21, 2002) This task of design spell checking, though, is enormously more complex than a word spell-checker--for a start, the model itself has to incorporate a certain level of intelligence and building semantics, so that the model checker can interpret it, analyze it, and then point out any errors in it. From an interoperability standpoint, such an error-checking tool is critical as it can be used to ensure that the building model created by the design application has the proper relationships for ensuring reliable analysis results in downstream applications such as quantity takeoffs, cost estimation, scheduling, and energy consumption. One is the model-checking window, primarily textual, where you can see basic information about the model, view the constraints against which the model will be checked, and analyze and report the checking results. cadence.advanstar.com /newsletter/aec/1102_2.html   (6558 words)

java.net: The WARS Architectural Style The Model, View, and Controller roles of the MVC architectural style have been offered as a means of categorizing components in web application frameworks, but in my previous article on this topic, I argued that the attempts to implement these distinctions have failed to show that this is a correct approach. Its name is Shocks, and I wrote it as a proof of concept for this architectural style. A correct approach would be to create a new hypothetical style that describes best practices already used in the problem space, instead of prescribing an architectural style from a distantly related problem space. today.java.net /pub/a/today/2004/01/27/wars.html   (1595 words)

Architectural Digest - Learning Curve - CIO Magazine January 15, 1998 Distributed architectures arose partly because centralized mainframe models were cursed as inflexible and expensive. Zealots will argue about which model is better, but one thing everyone agrees on is that changing from one to the other is an enormous pain in the neck. The boundaries between centralized and distributed architectures are getting fuzzier these days because a lot of companies are keeping their data on small servers while simultaneously moving all those servers to a central station. www.cio.com /archive/enterprise/011598_learning.html   (816 words)

Association Times Architectural Policies – Make Sure Your Association Has Them! Establishing architectural policies (or rules) to address issues related to the appearance of lots and the exterior of units goes a long way in preventing future problems. Instead, for commonly requested unit owner projects, the association should establish standards and specifications that include durability, color, style, make and model so that all such changes are uniform.

ATON Model-building Task at CREATE The architectural drawings were imported using the Rhino package and modelled into basic 3D solid structures in two steps: capture of the 2D model of each floor of a building, and (2) extruding each floor into a 3D model of the building. After the completion of each building's model, they were placed on the campus master CAD drawing for precise alignment. One key trait that these models share is called "self-similarity", which means that their respective characteristic structures are essentially repeated at all scales. www.create.ucsb.edu /ATON/00.10/UCSD.Model.html   (799 words)

Pendon Museum [ Homepage ] In the last few years Pendon Museum has been displaying, on permanent loan, those exquisite architectural models built by John Warner and Gerry Hall, affectionately known to exhibition regulars as the "John and Gerry Show". Pendon Museum is building an ambitious model of the countryside of the Vale of the White Horse as it was in the 1930's. The Vale Scene model is still under construction, but already you can see a substantial part of the village of Pendon Parva built around an ancient hill-fort, the agricultural landscape surrounding the village, and the derelict Wilts. www.pendonmuseum.com   (580 words)

CADENCE CHANNEL: Issue Focus: Visualizing Architecture Whether it's from the perspective of a practicing architect who utilizes 3D modeling and rendering to work out a design or of artistic specialists who focus primarily on the art of architectural practice, 3D modeling and rendering are showing their worth through projects commissioned and are now becoming part of a client's expectations. Architectural Renderer Ernest Burden created this lighting-study model of the Hall of the Americas in the Brooklyn Museum of Art in DataCAD and rendered it using Lightscape. This rear view of a million-dollar-plus residence, modeled in 3D Studio VIZ, helps architect Jim Gempeler show his clients what their dream home will look like at project's end. cadence.advanstar.com /2000/0500/issuefocus0500.html   (580 words)

Vision - An Architecture for Physically-Based Rendering As the prerequisites for the development of a new architecture, we review the physical model of light transport, develop requirements for an advanced rendering architecture, and discuss previous architectural approaches. In contrast to most other approaches, this architecture is not based on a decomposition of the rendering process into functional or algorithmic units. This static design description of the architecture is augmented by a description of the dynamic interactions of the subsystems for computing an image. graphics.cs.uni-sb.de /~slusallek/Doc/html/doc.html   (580 words)

Cube Project - Publications This parallel dataflow model differs from previous work in that it requires no global communication of data except at the pixel level. The high computational demands of real-time volume rendering and the continued technological advances in the area of VLSI give impetus to the development of special-purpose volume rendering architectures. Cube-3 implements a ray-casting algorithm in a highly-parallel and pipelined architecture, using a 3D skewed volume memory, a modular fast bus, 2D skewed buffers, 3D interpolation and shading units, and a ray projection cone. www.cs.sunysb.edu /~vislab/projects/cube/cubePapers.html   (580 words)
