Tile: Art and Architecture
Tiles create patterns, sequences, and order. This work proposes a museum and creative space that showcases clay tiles. The building itself allows for puzzling wayfinding that encourages curiosity and exploration from the visitor, where paths cross and no two experiences in this space should be the …

Evaluation Of Space Shuttle Tile Subnominal Bonds
… through Earth's atmosphere. Specifically the tile system which is attached to the structure by the means of an RTV adhesive has experienced situations where the bonds are identified as subnominal. The history of these subnominal conditions is presented along with a recent identification of a …

Hydrologic Modeling of Irregular Tile Drainage Systems
… specifically address the influence of irregular tile networks on Midwestern watershed hydrology. Several issues were identified as pertinent to this specific task: solving the problem of flow to a single tile drain, addressing irregular tile networks at the watershed scale and integrating the …

Tile -Drained Watershed Scs-Curve Number Model
Tile flow can be quantified using the altered SCS-CN method. Through theory analogy, a procedure similar to the traditional SCS-CN method was developed to estimate tile flow from rainfall. However, the relationship between initial abstractions and potential maximum retention was redefined. Curve …

Improving shade consistency in vinyl floor tile production
… manufacturing process of 'Vinylasb' PVC floor tiles has been carried out to identify causes and effects of shade variation and propose cost saving improvements. The main effects of tile colour variation were customer complaints, 6% production rejects, excessive waste material (reclaim), an …

Simplifying Equivariant GPU Kernels through Tile-based Programming
E(3)-equivariant neural networks have demonstrated success across a wide range of 3D modeling tasks. Until recently, they were bottlenecked due to their high memory and wall-time requirements. In this thesis we first provide an overview of recent GPU kernel efforts by both academia and industry …

Craft-inclusive Construction: Design Strategies for Thin-tile Vaulting
Design and digital analysis tools can be a fertile space in which situated building knowledge, represented in crafts, act in dialogue with methods of construction. This research examines this possibility in thin-tile vaulting - a Mediterranean ceiling-craft technique that employs less material, but …

Autoclaved Aerated Concrete Tile Vaults for Lightweight Floor Systems
… floor systems. This thesis explores the use of tile vaults as permanent formwork for concrete floor systems. The proposed system is lighter weight than traditional flat reinforced concrete slabs due to the structural efficiency of material: concrete carries load to the supports in compression …

Compost Bioreactors for Removing Agricultural Chemicals From Tile Drainage Water
The 6-month-old compost was also examined for its capacity to promote denitrification in column studies. The extent of nitrate removal depended on the solid retention time, but could also have been influenced by the amount of compost in the column that could be utilized as an energy source by …

Modeling nitrate in tile-drained watersheds of east-central Illinois
… agricultural nature of their watersheds. Field tile systems provide direct links between leached nitrate and surface drainage systems. The purpose of this study was to develop a model for predicting flow and nitrate loading in a surface drainage ditch at the outlet of a tile-drained watershed. …

Factors influencing phosphorus losses in agroecosystems dominated by tile drainage
… subsurface (perforated plastic pipes called tiles) drainage affecting the quality of receiving aquatic ecosystems. However, controls of phosphorus losses at the sub-field and watershed scales are not fully understood. The overall goal of this study is to determine the effect on phosphorus …

Bending mechanism for piezoelectric transducer footstep energy harvesting using piezoelectric tile
… the human footstep was harvested using floor tile inserted with piezoelectric transducers. Typically, the output of the piezoelectric transducer is low. Hence a bending mechanism which is divided into two parts, namely support housing and presser was designed to enhance the output …

Exploring saturated drainageways for nitrate reduction in tile-drained agricultural lands
… to function as a saturated buffer by diverting tile drainage into a perforated distribution line. From January to May 2024 16% of the total tile flow was diverted into the drainageway, resulting in an average infiltration rate of 0.01 m day-1. NO₃⁻N concentrations in tile drainage water ranged …

Modeling and measurement of tile drain controls in intensively managed landscapes
Tile drains are widely used in the Midwestern United States to improve the productivity of poorly drained agricultural fields. Since a tile drain reduces vadose zone soil moisture by lowering the water table, and its outlets feed directly into streams and ditches, tile flow can affect various …

A Vadose Zone Field Study: Subsurface Tile Drainage, Hydrology, and Variablity
… period was marked with a large loss of water to tile flow possibly the result of off site regional groundwater contributions. The piezometer analysis showed the difference in water table behavior between undrained and drained conditions. Cluster analysis showed more variability for the drained …
