Effect of Calcium Phosphate Ceramic Architectural Features on the Self-Assembly of Microvessels In Vitro
… a 2.5D model has been developed that varies architectural parameters in a controlled manner. Six contrasting architectures consisting of semi-circular ridges and grooves were produced. Grooves and ridges were designed to have widths of 330 μm and 660 μm, with periodicities, respectively, of …

The socio-cultural architectural features of vernacular and contemporary dwellings for sustainable desert dwellings design in southwest Libya
… of vernacular desert dwellings, with a rich architectural heritage and a remarkable convergence of cultures from the locals in the region. The nature of these dwellings is founded on the harmonious blend between architecture and people, which has formed its architectural identity over …

Nanostructured gene and drug delivery systems based on molecular self-assembly
… devices with well-controlled, nanometer-scale architectural features. In this thesis, molecular self-assembly is used as a tool for the fabrication of both gene and drug delivery systems which, by virtue of their well-controlled architectural features, possess advantageous properties relative …

Historic districts as an alternative approach to preserve the Bhutanese Architectural Heritage
… on two sets of guidelines. One, the Traditional Architectural guidelines that illustrates the entitlement of different architectural features based on the type of building. The other guideline is the Bhutan Building Rules that makes it compulsory to incorporate certain traditional architectural …

Programming models, compilers, and runtime systems for accelerator computing
… parallelism, along with many other unique architectural features. In order to obtain high performance, these features must be carefully exploited, which requires high programmer expertise. This thesis presents new programming models, and the necessary compiler and runtime systems to ease …

Newton: Computer system improvement through comparative macroperformance analysis
In recent years, computer systems with complex architectural features have been designed and built without a complete understanding of the performance impact of the features. All current systems with complex architectures deliver only a small fraction of their theoretical peak performance on all …

The Spatial Agency of the Catacombs: An Analysis of the Interventions of Damasus I (305-384)
… the analysis to synthesize elements of space and architectural theory, sensory theory, and anthropological issues to fully explore the impact of his works related to martyr sites on the minds and bodies of pilgrims visiting such sites during martyr festival.</p> <p>The bishop’s interventions at …

Extending old languages for new architectures
… disposal. This situation inevitably leads to new architectural features on a fairly regular basis. Enabling programmers to benefit from these new architectural features can be problematic. Since architectures change frequently, and compilers last for a long time, it is clear that compilers should …

Performance evaluation of vector machine architectures
… as Cray supercomputers, as a function of their architectural features, scheduling schemes, compiler optimization capabilities, and program parameters. The results of this study also provide a base for comparing vector machines with horizontal superscalar machines.

Machine Learning Simulation of Pedestrians Exploring the Built Environment
… built environment, with the intent of informing architectural design. A computational process is proposed to produce a generalizable Agent that navigates and explores novel complex environments while interacting with its surroundings. Current modeling software can effectively simulate pedestrian …

3 - DJ : sampling as design
… as a new spatial craft that can be applied to architectural design, akin to how sampling is applied in the field of electronic music. Through the development of 3-DJ, a prototype design software, I propose a design methodology that enables a designer to evaluate, remix, and implement qualities …

Implementation of set theoretic languages on computers with tagged architecture
… on a machine suitable for executing it. Architectural features which aid in implementing SETL are discussed. A machine which directly executes a pre-processed version of SETL source code is described and microprograms for the execution of a few typical SETL operators are presented. This …

Bus scheduling implementation on the cell processor
… framework is built by abstracting away low-level architectural features. Experiments were also performed to show that the real-time transactions of feasible transaction sets are executed before deadline when scheduled according to a real-time scheduling algorithm, while the same transactions can …
