Spatial Parameterization of Non-Semantic CAD Elements for Supporting Automated Disassembly Planning
Authors: Rausch Chris , Sanchez Ben , Haas Carl
Published: July 2019

Digital data and associated semantics play a fundamental role in supporting the vision of Construction 4.0. Advancements in digitization workflows such as scan-to-BIM and automated meta-data generation are being used for data-driven decision making. A challenge with collecting and processing raw, non-semantic data is the process of integrating intelligence into and characterizing data automatically. This paper demonstrates how spatial parameterization (i.e., extracting, modifying and analysing parameters that define the spatial properties of a component) can be used as a method for automating steps in disassembly planning for buildings. The potential use cases of disassembly planning include adaptive building reuse, robotic assembly programming, reconfigurable prefabricated assemblies and selective disassembly for rehabilitation and repairs. This paper presents spatial parameterization in a framework to disassemble building components via a rule-based algorithm that comprises three dimensional Cartesian properties and clash detection between non-semantic CAD elements. Demonstration of the framework is carried out using a case study where the interior wall of a building on the University of Waterloo campus was disassembled for adaptive reuse purposes. Comparison of the case study results to the actual disassembly sequence demonstrates how spatial parameterization is effective for automating key steps in disassembly planning. A discussion is provided to identify key barriers to increased automation which relate to modelling accuracy, Level of Development (LOD) for Building Information Modelling (BIM), and global spatial constraints for disassembly.
Open Source Timber Systems as a Democratic Tool for Construction
Authors: Dangel Ulrich
Published: July 2019

Architecture, as it exists today, is deeply rooted in perceptions that were established during the Renaissance, which credited the architect as the sole author of creative thinking processes and the resultant design ideas. Since then, the architectural profession has desired to develop new and innovative ways of building, often without being bound by traditions, the environment, or any other constraints and limitations. This approach has frequently failed to address the needs and concerns of many. As a result, architects have not been successful in imparting significant social change that is valuable to large portions of the population. In contrast, however, many other industries have adopted shared design and production practices for the benefit of the masses, warranting further exploration into how architectural practice might evolve its current modes of operation. Wood as a building material has many beneficial characteristics–specifically its widespread availability, versatility, and ease of workability–which make it particularly suitable for investigating shared authorship and collective production methodologies. As an alternative to steel and concrete for mid-rise and high-rise buildings, mass timber construction, in particular, has experienced significant advancements in recent years, resulting in the development of entirely new building processes that rely on innovative engineered wood products, digital manufacturing, and prefabrication techniques. However, this has frequently led to expensive one-off proprietary solutions that are limited in their application. To foster innovation and disseminate knowledge, an open source culture of designing and sharing is necessary. To this end, this paper will present approaches for open source mass timber construction systems that can be applied to a wide range of scenarios and settings, with the aim of ultimately increasing the acceptance and market share of wood construction for the benefit of society at large.
Automatic Selection Tool of Quality Control Specifications for Off-site Construction Manufacturing Products: A BIM-based Ontology Model Approach
Authors: Martinez Pablo , Ahmad Rafiq , Al-Hussein Mohamed
Published: July 2019

Construction manufacturing specifications play an important role in assessing quality requirements on a construction project. However, working with these specifications can be overly complicated and error prone to the large amount of regulations and codes that need to be considered and their inter-dependencies. In building information modelling (BIM), the model is a digital representation of a complex construction product and contains precise product information data. The data is currently embedded into the model as properties for parametric building objects that are exchangeable among project operators. Some effort has been previously done to enhance the BIM model to obtain construction-oriented data and linking information that is crucial to manufacturing and quality control and assurance with BIM modelling still remains a challenge. This study proposes an extension to the current BIM-based product-oriented ontology model to include manufacturing processes and inspection, and quality control specifications. By automatically identifying which specifications are applicable to certain products and to extract the requirements imposed, this approach can support and enable automatic decision making in quality inspection and control tasks, which solely depend on information and knowledge from construction specifications. This approach is tested and validated using a light-gauge steel frame wall under Canadian construction standards and regulations.
Integrating Computational Design to Improve the Design Workflow of Modular Construction
Authors: Greenough Tom , Smith Matthew , Mariash Aaron
Published: July 2019

The construction industry’s productivity has stagnated since the 1960s while in the same period, manufacturing and technology industries have seen vast improvements. The construction industry is coming under increased pressure to provide better value through improved quality and performance and as a result developers and constructors are looking to alternative forms of construction. In a process that borrows concepts from the manufacturing and technology sectors, such as automation and 3D modelling, Prefabricated Volumetric Construction (modular construction) is a highly versatile approach with the potential to deliver substantial cost savings, faster project delivery times, higher quality construction with less waste and emissions, and an increase in worker safety. This paper will explore the integration of computational design into the design workflow of modular construction through several project examples. The following topics will be covered: creation and assembly of parametric modules in the Revit Building Information Model (BIM) software, using the visual programming tool Dynamo; the linkage of the BIM to the analytical model; and the extraction of results and the manipulation and display of data using Grasshopper, a visual programming language and environment plugin, for Rhinoceros a 3D modeler. This integration has been found to reduce the time required to develop the building model, the drawings, the analytical model and complete the design while improving the consistency and accuracy of all.
On composite formulas for mathematical expectation of functionals of solution of the Ito equation in Hilbert space
Authors: Egorov A. D.
Published: July 2019

This article is devoted to constructing composite approximate formulas for calculation of mathematical expectation of nonlinear functionals of solution of the linear Ito equation in Hilbert space with additive noise. As the leading process, the Wiener process taking values in Hilbert space is examined. The formulas are a sum of the approximations of the nonlinear functionals obtained by expanding the leading random process into a series of independent Gaussian random variables and correcting approximating functional quadrature formulas that ensure an approximate accuracy of compound formulas for third-order polynomials. As a test example, the application of the obtained formulas to the case of a one-dimensional wave equation with a leading Wiener process indexed by spatial and temporal variables is considered. This article continues the research begun in [1].

The problem is motivated by the necessity to calculate the nonlinear functionals of solution of stochastic partial differential equations. Approximate evaluation of mathematical expectation of stochastic equations with a leading random process indexed only by the time variable is considered in [2–11]. Stochastic partial equations in various interpretations are considered [12–16]. The present article uses the approach given in [12].
Ways for detection of the exact number of limit cycles of autonomous systems on the cylinder
Authors: Hryn A. A. , Rudzevich S. V.
Published: July 2019

For real autonomous systems of differential equations with continuously differentiable right-hand sides, the problem of detecting the exact number and localization of the second-kind limit cycles on the cylinder is considered. To solve this problem in the absence of equilibria of the system on the cylinder, we have developed our previously proposed ways consisting in a sequential two-step application of the Dulac – Cherkas test or the Dulac test. Additionally, a new way has been worked out using the generalization of the Dulac – Cherkas or Dulac test at the second step, where the requirement of constant sign for divergence is replaced by the transversality condition of the curves on which the divergence vanishes. With the help of the developed ways, closed transversal curves are found that divide the cylinder into subdomains surrounding it, in each of which the system has exactly one second-kind limit cycle.

The practical efficiency of the mentioned ways is demonstrated by the example of a pendulum-type system, for which, in the absence of equilibria, the existence of exactly three second-kind limit cycles on the entire phase cylinder is proved.

Published: July 2019

Following the decision of the International Union of Geological Sciences on the transfer of the lower boundary of the Quaternary System/Period and the Pleistocene Series/Epoch from 1.8 Ma to 2.58 Ma (to the base of the Gelazian Stage/ Age of the Pliocene), the changes have been made in Stratigraphic charts of Neogene and Quaternary Deposits of Belarus (2010). The Neogene – Quaternary boundary in the territory of Belarus is aligned with the International Chronostratigraphic Chart and is made between the Kholmech horizon (analogue of Zanclean and Piacenzian, Pliocene) and the Dvorets horizon (analogue of Gelasian) displaced from the Pliocene to the lower base of the lowermost Pleistocene. Its new position in the sections is substantiated by paleobotanical data. New geological units were introduced into regional and local stratigraphic charts of the Neogene and Quaternary.
Inﬂuence of the chemical structure of cation surfactants on the wetting process of rock-forming minerals
Authors: Opanasenko O. N. , Krutko N. P. , Zhigalova O. L. , Luksha O. V.
Published: July 2019

Interfacial interactions of cationic surfactants of various chemical structures at the solution / finely dispersed mineral material (quartz and dolomite) interface were studied. It is established that the modification of the surfaces of quartz and dolomite with cationic surfactants leads to a change in the structure and radius of the capillaries due to the formation of adsorption-solvate shells. The hydrophobic ability of cationic surfactants is determined by the structure of the hydrophilic part of their molecules – the balance of amino groups in the alkyl chains and the absence of steric hindrances during adsorption interaction with the surface of mineral materials. The mixture of surfactants containing six amino groups and a polyhydric alcohol glycerin has an effective hydrophobic ability from both aqueous and highly mineralized solutions.

Study of stress-strain state during cross-wedge rolling with one tool
Authors: Kozhevnikova G. V.
Published: July 2019

The peculiarity of cross-wedge rolling with one tool is the workpiece deformation with one tool and the fact that the workpiece is not supported with the tool from the opposite side. On both sides of the tool outside the contact with the workpiece, the workpiece is fixed with pairs of upper and lower tools, by means of which the axis of the workpiece is held in a constant position. Such conditions of rolling qualitatively change the deformation zone and, as a result, the stress-strain state.

The change in the stress-strain state was qualitatively estimated by comparing the fields of slip lines in the traditional two-tools cross rolling and one-tool cross rolling. One-tool cross rolling increases the normal and average stress at the contact by 7.8–14.5 %, changes the average stress of the specimen from tensile to compressive one in the axial region. This circumstance significantly increases the resource of plasticity and allows rolling metals with limited plasticity without opening the axial cavity. Comparative studies of the stress-strain state from the traditional two-tools cross-wedge rolling and one-tool cross-wedge rolling in the axial region of the workpiece have been carried out by computer simulation.
Reactors with micro fuel particles: hydrodynamics of permeable channels of the bulk assembly
Authors: Voitov I. V. , Kolos V. P.
Published: July 2019

The prospect of use of fuel in the form of micro particles (balls with a diameter about a millimeter formed by the fissile material and a protective cover to hold the radioactive fission products) in nuclear reactors is disclosed. It’s marked that flow ability, large specific surface of heat removal, extraordinary high resistance of micro fuel particles allow to design innovative safe reactors for various purpose: transportable, breeders, high-temperature, high neutron flux etc. It’s suggested to complete the active zone by bulk heat releasing assemblies. In them the advantages of spherical micro fuel particles and a coolant side supply to the bed through permeable distribution and branch channels are harmoniously combined in these assembles. It is presented the scheme of bulk assemblies and carried out the analysis of modeling of dynamics of a stream in permeable channels. It is shown that the mathematical description of liquid movement in such channels has ambiguity and discrepancy. To eliminate modeling shortcomings a new kinematic image of current in the permeable channels was offered. It was proposed instead of the existing one representing a jet to which particles of coolant were continuously joined or separated on the permeable wall. In the new interpretation the flow in the permeable channel is considered as turn of the stream at its simultaneous expansion or narrowing depending on there is outflow or inflow. On the base of this image the equation for determination of coolant pressure changing in the permeable channel is obtained; reaction of a stream for changing of flow rate increment is established, the tangent component of a velocity on a permeable wall is founded. Thereby the disadvantages of describing of coolant moving in the bulk assembles channels are eliminated. Permeable channels are used not only in nuclear reactors, but also in many other technological devices: catalytic reactors, heat exchangers, filters, collector and distributing systems. The obtained results can be used for designing other devices with permeable channels.
Segmentation of AFM images based on wave regions growing of local maximums with pixels selection in the decrease order of values
Authors: Rabtsevich V. V. , Tsviatkou V. Yu. , Kuznetsova T. А. , Сhizhik S. A.
Published: July 2019

An algorithm for segmentation of images of atomic force microscopy is developed by using wave-growing regions around local maxima as a result of adjoining neighboring pixels to them, selected in descending order of values. The essence of the algorithm is to use the brightness threshold, gradually changing from maximum to minimum, to select growth points or to join existing areas. The features of the developed segmentation algorithm are iteratively expandable boundaries, the choice of initial growth points and points attached to regions with a focus on threshold values with a gradual decrease from maximum to minimum. These features made it possible to eliminate the segmentation errors of the AFM images, characteristic of the algorithms of the marker watershed, the cultivation of areas and the watershed using the classical Vincent–Sollie algorithm, which are commonly used. The developed algorithm was compared with standard algorithms such as: classic watershed algorithm, marker watershed, growing areas. The comparison was carried out on test and original AFM images. The algorithms were implemented in Matlab and C ++. A set of binary masks was used to quantify segmentation errors. The results showed that the developed algorithm provides the selection of the boundaries of the regions without errors and a higher segmentation rate in comparison with the algorithms of growing the regions and the Vincent–Sollie watershed. The result can be used to process AFM images of the surfaces of inorganic materials in the submicro and nano range.

Published: July 2019

Cholestasis (disturbance of the liver bile outﬂow into the duodenum) is a frequent complication of cholelithiasis and other pathologies of the hepatobiliary system. In this case, all metabolism types are disturbances and all body organs and systems, including the nervous system, are aﬀected. The objective of the study was to establish changes in the c-fos immunoreactivity in the cerebellum neurons of rats at diﬀerent time after modeling subhepatic cholestasis. In this work, we used a material of 60 white male rats 200–250 g in weight. In experimental animals, the ligation of the common bile duct was carried out, in control animals – a false operation while maintaining a physiological bile ﬂow in the duodenum throughout the experiment. Subhepatic cholestasis in rats is accompanied by an increase in the cortex cerebellum on the 2–20th days after the ligation of the common bile duct of the number of neurons with the increased c-fos-immunoreactivity, with the maximum one on the 10th day of the experiment. In surviving animals, after the removal of cholestasis in the long term (45–90 days), the number of neurons with the increased c-fos immunoreactivity, as well as the expression of this protein in neurons is normalized.

Published: July 2019

A stroke is one of the leading causes of morbidity, disability and mortality in many countries. Mechanisms of development of ischemic stroke are complex and have not been fully established. The aim of this study was to estimate the changes in the pool of free amino acids and their derivatives in the plasma of rats undergoing subtotal cerebral ischemia (SCI) and treated with L-NAME. Experiment was made on 18 rats: 12 animals were undergoing bilateral flament occlusion of arteries carotid, 6 of them were treated with L-NAME. The analyses of free amino acids levels in the blood plasma extracts were carried out by reversedphase HPLC. Concentrations of several amino acids were elevated after 1 hour of ischemia, including aspartate, asparagine, glutamine, glycin, alanine, taurine, phenylalanine, gistidine, 3-methilgistidine, treonine, citrulline, ornitine, as well as branched-chain amino acids. Administration of L-NAME partially prevented the imbalance of the amino acids pool caused by SCI. Preventive injection of L-NAME alleviated the imbalance in the pool of free amino acids of blood plasma caused by SCI.

Published: July 2019

The bioelectric activity of the heart, pro- and antioxidant processes in the blood of adult rats after the introduction of dietary supplements: glutamate and sodium benzoate, dye tartrazine were investigated. Consumption of sodium glutamate, sodium benzoate, tartrazine, each individually, by adult rats leads to a breakdown in a heart rate, a decrease in the duration of electrical diastole of the heart, a distortion of the P-wave potential, an increase in heart rate variability, which indicates the increased activity of cholinergic nerve fibbers involved in the regulation of the cardiac activity. In sexually mature animals, the consumption of sodium glutamate does not aﬀect the equilibrium state in the peroxidation system – the antioxidant protection in the blood, while dye tartrazine, which is consumed with food for a long time, initiates the process of protein peroxidation and causes to suppress in the blood of sexually mature animals.

Is there a mismatch between employers’ and university teachers’ perceptions on graduate employability in Croatia?
Authors: Sedlan König Ljerka , Maškarin Ribarić Helga
Published: July 2019

Employability in graduates is considered to be an outcome universities should seek to achieve. At the same time, scholars rarely differentiate between “graduateness as a state after the completion of a course, and employability as an assessment of the economic worth of a student at that time” (Glover, Law and Youngman, 2002:293). This paper aims to study employability in higher education from the employers’ and university teachers’ perspective. It highlights the most highly valued employability competencies and attributes, and paints an interesting picture of perceptions university teachers and employers have of employability characteristics. The empirical research incorporates 134 responses from employers from Croatian companies of all sizes, and 124 from University teachers from two Croatian universities: University of Rijeka and Josip Juraj Strossmayer University of Osijek. The results indicate that the university teachers and employers have similar views regarding employability characteristics, but view differently the knowledge, skills and attributes significant for employment and the contribution of higher education to the improvement of these attributes. The results point to the necessity of Croatian universities to cooperate and communicate more efficiently with employers and employer associations in developing courses, and delivering relevant subject content.
Insight into students’ perception of teaching
Authors: Arbula Blecich Andrea , Zaninović Vinko
Published: July 2019

The aim of this paper is to analyse students’ perceptions of teaching from three different perspectives: students’ interest, teacher and course assessment. We use ordinal logistic model to quantify the effects of grade, pass rate and class size on results of evaluation of undergraduate and graduate courses held during the summer and winter semesters in the academic year 2016/2017. The data were collected using a standardised online questionnaire. Research results indicate that on the observed economic HEI, both teacher and course assessment is positively and significantly affected by student’s achieved grade, and by class size. Moreover, we find large and significant difference between students’ interest in study programmes delivered in Croatian and those delivered in English. Students enrolled in English study programme value pass rate over grade, as opposed to students enrolled in Croatian study programme. We attribute this to the different motivation of students, that is, students enrolled in English programme are more prone to participation in student mobility programmes.

A GOVERNAMENTALIDADE (NEO)LIBERAL SOB O PRISMA DE LES AVEUX DE LA CHAIR
Authors: Avelino Nildo
Published: July 2019

Les aveux de la chair, publicado há mais de 30 anos após a morte do seu autor ,é um texto fundamental para compreender o desenvolvimento da obediência política nas sociedades modernas. Foucault descreve, a partirda experiência cristã da carne, a nova definição das relações entre subjetividade e verdade estabelecida pelo núcleo prescritivo do cristianismo. Neste artigo procuro retomar um aspecto específico da análise de Foucault sobre a questão da “libidinização do desejo”, procurando articulálo com o tema da racionalidade liberal e neoliberal. O objetivo é perceber de que maneira a análise de Foucault sobre o sujeito de desejo poderia ser articulada com a análise do homo economicus. Minha hipótese é que a descrição genealógica da “juridificação” do comportamento conjugal promovida por Santo Agostinho, nos ajuda acompreender a mecânica comportamental do sujeito de interesse.
SALUD MENTAL Y GUBERNAMENTALIDAD: REFLEXIONES EN TORNO A LA LOCURA EN CHILE
Authors: Castro Alejandro
Published: July 2019

Nos enfrentamos a una época en la que los trastornos psiquiátricos proliferan en el mundo, y en la que la psiquiatría, a través de la salud mental, ha necesitado reconfigurarse para lograr su intervención a escala global. Para realizar ello, se ha generado una serie de medidas tanto a nivel sanitario como político. Una de ellas es el modelo de salud mental comunitaria, que en Chile se ha convertido en el modelo hegemónico de intervención en este campo. De ese modo, este artículo analiza cómo la salud mental se ha convertido en un modo de gobierno, gestionando el sufrimiento psíquico de las poblaciones a través de una serie de dispositivos de seguridad en torno a la locura. Se examina de manera breve cómo se instala en la retina social este modelo de gobierno y la administración del sufrimiento psíquico que padecen los sujetos locos y no locos.
