BIM FOR EXISTING HERITAGE: FROM 3D INTEGRATED SURVEY TO PARAMETRIC MODELING FOR REFURBISHMENT AND MANAGEMENT
Authors: Tasselli N. , Maietti F.
Published: February 2022

Abstract. The research is aimed at developing an integrated methodology based on digital tools to support professionals working on existing buildings using BIM – Building Information Modeling methodologies, combining digitization (As-Built) with the growing need for refurbishment in an integrated supply chain perspective. The focus is the XX century heritage in Emilia-Romagna, to respond to a need for widespread redevelopment of existing assets, fostering innovation in the use of advanced digital tools and innovative materials for the redevelopment process. One of the research objectives is to include all actors involved in the building renovation process in developing and managing the BIM model. The main challenge is the complexity of the process, which requires a planned, coordinated, and synchronised effort from all the involved actors. To foster an inclusive approach, the research methodology proposes simplified tools and procedures, designed to allow a gradual transition into the BIM methodology. The development of BIM Smart Packages, which combine the needs of all the actors involved in the refurbishment process and those who have to produce and trade integrated solutions, can increase stakeholders’ interest in investing in the digitisation of the intervention process.

Abstract. 2020 meant the loss of 41.5 million visitors for Italian museums, monuments and archaeological sites. The regions that drive tourism and the Italian museum paid the price in terms of visitors and income. In this context, virtual museums have been taking on new forms of interaction, communication and sharing of information, overshadowing traditional applications based on sharing collections through static images or simple panoramas. Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) provide the end-user with more innovative learning with the latest technological advances and digital tools. Thanks to the integration of the latest 3D modelling and digital survey techniques with the Visual Programming Language (VPL) and eXteded Reality (XR) development platforms, the authors propose a scan-to-BIM-to-XR method based on different forms of architectural representation, digital survey (terrestrial and aerial) and building archaeology able to transmit the tangible and intangible values of the different types of architectural artefacts, from the large scale (building and its urban context), medium (art collections, sculptures, museum itineraries) up to the small scale (building archaeology) of one of the most important historical buildings in the city of Rome.
TUM-FAÇADE: REVIEWING AND ENRICHING POINT CLOUD BENCHMARKS FOR FAÇADE SEGMENTATION
Authors: Wysocki O. , Hoegner L. , Stilla U.
Published: February 2022

Abstract. Point clouds are widely regarded as one of the best dataset types for urban mapping purposes. Hence, point cloud datasets are commonly investigated as benchmark types for various urban interpretation methods. Yet, few researchers have addressed the use of point cloud benchmarks for façade segmentation. Robust façade segmentation is becoming a key factor in various applications ranging from simulating autonomous driving functions to preserving cultural heritage. In this work, we present a method of enriching existing point cloud datasets with façade-related classes that have been designed to facilitate façade segmentation testing. We propose how to efficiently extend existing datasets and comprehensively assess their potential for façade segmentation. We use the method to create the TUM-FAÇADE dataset, which extends the capabilities of TUM-MLS-2016. Not only can TUM-FAÇADE facilitate the development of point-cloud-based façade segmentation tasks, but our procedure can also be applied to enrich further datasets.
IMAGE ORIENTATION WITH A HYBRID PIPELINE ROBUST TO ROTATIONS AND WIDE-BASELINES
Authors: Bellavia F. , Morelli L. , Menna F. , Remondino F.
Published: February 2022

Abstract. The extraction of reliable and repeatable interest points among images is a fundamental step for automatic image orientation (Structure-From-Motion). Despite recent progresses, open issues in challenging conditions - such as wide baselines and strong light variations - are still present. Over the years, traditional hand-crafted methods have been paired by learning-based approaches, progressively updating the state-of-the-art according to recent benchmarks. Notwithstanding these advancements, learning-based methods are often not suitable for real photogrammetric surveys due to their lack of rotation invariance, a fundamental requirement for these specific applications. This paper proposes a novel hybrid image matching pipeline which employs both hand-crafted and deep-based components, to extract reliable rotational invariant keypoints optimized for wide-baseline scenarios. The proposed hybrid pipeline was compared with other hand-crafted and learning-based state-of-the-art approaches on some photogrammetric datasets using metric ground-truth data. Results show that the proposed hybrid matching pipeline has high accuracy and appeared to be the only method among the evaluated ones able to register images in the most challenging wide-baseline scenarios.

Published: February 2022

Abstract. Theoretical source models of underwater explosions are often applied in studying tsunami hazards associated with subaqueous volcanism; however, their use in numerical codes based on the shallow water equations can neglect the significant dispersion of the generated wavefield. A non-hydrostatic multilayer method is validated against a laboratory-scale experiment of wave generation from instantaneous disturbances and at field-scale subaqueous explosions at Mono Lake, California, utilising the relevant theoretical models. The numerical method accurately reproduces the range of observed wave characteristics for positive disturbances and suggests a relationship of extended initial troughs for negative disturbances at low-dispersivity and high-non-linearity parameters. Satisfactory amplitudes and phase velocities within the initial wave group are found using underwater explosion models at Mono Lake. The scheme is then applied to modelling tsunamis generated by volcanic explosions at Lake Taupō, New Zealand, for a magnitude representing an ejecta volume of 0.1 km3. Waves reach all shores within 15 min with maximum incident crest amplitudes around 0.2 m at shores near the source. This work shows that the multilayer scheme used is computationally efficient and able to capture a wide range of wave characteristics, including dispersive effects, which is necessary when investigating subaqueous explosions. This research therefore provides the foundation for future studies involving a rigorous probabilistic hazard assessment to quantify the risks and relative significance of this tsunami source mechanism.
From glacial erosion to basin overfill: a 240 m-thick overdeepening–fill sequence in Bern, Switzerland
Authors: Schwenk Michael A. , Schläfli Patrick , Bandou Dimitri , Gribenski Natacha , Douillet Guilhem A. , Schlunegger Fritz
Published: February 2022

Abstract. We drilled a 210 m-thick succession of Quaternary sediments and extended it 30 m upsection with information that we collected from an adjacent outcrop. In the 240 m-thick succession we identified 12 different lithofacies, grouped them into five facies assemblages, and distinguished two major sedimentary sequences. A sharp contact at 103 m depth cuts off cross-beds in sequence A and separates them from the overlying horizontal beds in sequence B. Although the lowermost facies assemblage of each sequence includes a till deposited during a period of ice cover, the two tills differ from each other. In particular, the till at the base of sequence A is dominated by large clasts derived from the underlying Molasse bedrock, whereas the till at the base of sequence B has no such Molasse components. Furthermore, the till in sequence A bears evidence of glaciotectonic deformation. Both tills are overlain by thick assemblages of subaqueous, most likely glaciolacustrine and lacustrine facies elements. The cross-bedded and steeply inclined sand, gravel, and diamictic beds of sequence A are interpreted as deposits of density currents in a subaqueous ice-contact fan system within a proglacial lake. In contrast, the lacustrine sediments in sequence B are considered to record a less energetic environment where the material was most likely deposited in a prodelta setting that gradually developed into a delta plain. Towards the top, sequence B evolves into a fluvial system recorded in sequence C, when large sediment fluxes of a possibly advancing glacier resulted in a widespread cover of the region by a thick gravel unit. Feldspar luminescence dating on two samples from a sand layer at the top of sequence B provided uncorrected ages of 250.3 ± 80.2 and 251.3 ± 59.8 ka. The combination of these ages with lithostratigraphic correlations of sedimentary sequences encountered in neighboring scientific drillings suggests that sequence B was deposited between Marine Isotope Stage 8 (MIS 8; 300–243 ka) and MIS 7 (243–191 ka). This depositional age marks the end of one stage of overdeepening–fill in the perialpine Aare Valley near Bern.
A comparison of the stability and performance of depth-integrated ice-dynamics solvers
Authors: Robinson Alexander , Goldberg Daniel , Lipscomb William H.
Published: February 2022

Abstract. In the last decade, the number of ice-sheet models has increased substantially, in line with the growth of the glaciological community. These models use solvers based on different approximations of ice dynamics. In particular, several depth-integrated dynamics solvers have emerged as fast solvers capable of resolving the relevant physics of ice sheets at the continental scale. However, the numerical stability of these schemes has not been studied systematically to evaluate their effectiveness in practice. Here we focus on three such solvers, the so-called Hybrid, L1L2-SIA and DIVA solvers, as well as the well-known SIA and SSA solvers as boundary cases. We investigate the numerical stability of these solvers as a function of grid resolution and the state of the ice sheet for an explicit time discretization scheme of the mass conservation step. Under simplified conditions with constant viscosity, the maximum stable time step of the Hybrid solver, like the SIA solver, has a quadratic dependence on grid resolution. In contrast, the DIVA solver has a maximum time step that is independent of resolution as the grid becomes increasingly refined, like the SSA solver. A simple 1D implementation of the L1L2-SIA solver indicates that it should behave similarly, but in practice, the complexity of its implementation appears to restrict its stability. In realistic simulations of the Greenland Ice Sheet with a nonlinear rheology, the DIVA and SSA solvers maintain superior numerical stability, while the SIA, Hybrid and L1L2-SIA solvers show markedly poorer performance. At a grid resolution of Δx=4 km, the DIVA solver runs approximately 20 times faster than the Hybrid and L1L2-SIA solvers as a result of a larger stable time step. Our analysis shows that as resolution increases, the ice-dynamics solver can act as a bottleneck to model performance. The DIVA solver emerges as a clear outlier in terms of both model performance and its representation of the ice-flow physics itself.

Determining the energy consumption level is one of the stages of energy efficiency monitoring facilities. The aim of the article is to adapt the energy baseline to the operating conditions of the facility in accordance with the ISO 50000 Standards requirements. The methodology for determining the energy baseline was proposed to achieve the goal. The three-stage procedure for forming a set of relevant variables of the energy baseline, which allows taking into account the significance of variables, the possibility of their measurement, controllability and control, and the procedure for constructing a multifactorial model of the optimal structure for determining the energy baseline are the main scientific results. This methodology was applied to a boiler house of a district heating system. Relevant variables were formed using a three-stage selection of factors that influence the gas consumption efficiency of the boiler house. Combinatorial algorithm of the group method of data handling was used for gas consumption simulation. The search for models of optimal complexity was performed in six classes of basic functions. The selection of better structures of the mathematical model was realized based on the criteria for its appropriateness (regularity, unbiasedness criterion, Schwartz, determination coefficient) and accuracy of the forecast using the morphological criterion. As a result, a multifactor mathematical model of optimal structure was obtained. The percent forecasting error did not exceed 1%. The significance of the results lies in the fact that the proposed methodology can be applied to any facility.

Published: February 2022

Depuis la mise en place de programmes centrés sur le développement des compétences, l'évaluation des apprentissages fait l'objet de nombreux questionnements de la part des acteurs des milieux de formation. Les questionnements se sont accentués depuis le virage obligé vers l’enseignement à distance en raison du contexte pandémique. Plusieurs enseignants témoignent de préoccupations grandissantes. Comment évaluer lorsque les élèves ne sont pas là? Comment vérifier qu’ils ne trichent pas et que ce sont bien leurs réponses qu’ils retournent? Le risque du plagiat augmente avec la distance alors que les évaluations constituées d’items à choix multiples (QCM) ou d’items à réponse courte sont favorisées par les outils numériques. Bien qu’ils facilitent les rétroactions en période d’enseignement à distance et diminuent le temps de correction, ces types d’items ne permettent pas d’évaluer tous les objets d’apprentissage visés. C’est bien là que le bât blesse. Évaluer des compétences ne se fera pas par QCM. Il devient essentiel de revenir à l’essentiel, soit comment évaluer les compétences, et ce, malgré la distance. Cet article propose une réflexion sur l’évaluation scolaire et présente un modèle de questionnements des visées de l’évaluation à distance.

The spray cold plate has a compact structure and high-efficiency heat exchange, which can meet the requirements of high heat flux dissipation of multiple heat sources, and is a reliable means to solve the heat dissipation of the next generation of chips. This paper proposes to use surfactants to enhance the heat transfer of the spray cold plate, and conduct a systematic experimental study on the heat transfer performance of the spray cold plate under different types and concentrations of additives. It was found that among the three surfactants, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) can improve the heat transfer performance of the spray cold plate, and at the optimal concentration of 200ppm, the heat transfer coefficient of the spray cold plate was increased significantly by 19.8%. Both the n-octanol-distilled water and Tween 20-distilled water can reduce the heat transfer performance of the cold plate using multi nozzles. In addition, based on the experimental data, the dimensionless heat transfers correlations for the spray cold plate using additives were conducted, and the maximum errors of dimensionless correlations for using additives were 2.1%, 2.8%, and 5.4% respectively. This discovery provides a theoretical analysis and basis for the improvement of spray cold plates.

Published: February 2022

The energy consumption problem of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems over general directed graphs is investigated. The considered problem is firstly reformulated as a Nash equilibrium seeking problem, and a distributed consensus-based algorithm is then proposed to solve it. To address the challenge arising from general directed graphs, a distributed estimation algorithm is embedded such that the explicit dependence on the left eigenvector associated with the eigenvalue zero of the Laplacian matrix can be avoided. Then, the exponential convergence of the proposed distributed Nash equilibrium seeking algorithm is established under a standing assumption. A numerical example is finally provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

Use of Bioballs as an Adsorbent for the Removal of Copper
Authors: Hakan elebi Hakan elebi
Published: February 2022

Nowadays, heavy metals, which are among the various hazardous pollutants, are present at a high level of density in the receiving environments. Among heavy metals, especially copper is mainly present in wastewater due to the industrial activities. Adsorption is the most practical method to prevent this pollution, and in recent years, researchers have been involved in researching both adsorption and cost-efficient, accessible, easy-to-apply environmentally friendly adsorbents. In this study, the adsorption capacity of high density bioballs having a potential adsorbent characteristic was investigated. Accordingly, different pH values (2.0 – 6.0) and the contact times (1 -150 minutes) of a solution on the adsorption process was evaluated under a constant agitating speed (150 rpm), a constant temperature (25and#176;C) and a fixed amount of adsorbent (2.0 g). Experimental data on the pH and contact times obtained were evaluated using different isotherm and kinetic models in a batch process. The optimum conditions for the adsorption process were determined as follows: adsorbent dose = 2 g/L, pH = 6.23 and contact time = 45 minute. The maximum copper refining efficiency of a high density bioball was calculated to be approximately 78% under the optimum conditions determined. The maximum adsorption capacity based on the Langmuir isotherm is 5.60 mg/g, and the adsorption of the copper element onto the high-density bioball is defined by a pseudo-second-order kinetics. The process was found to be applicable, spontaneous, and endothermic according to thermodynamic parameters. As a result, it has been noted that high density bioballs used as a biofilm material may be an alternative adsorbent for copper and the other heavy metals.

FTIR 1H-NMR and mass spectrometric techniques were applied for interpretation of synthesized complexes. 4.05-4.07 ppm chemical shift appearance of azo group confirms azo coupling with transition metal complexes. N=N, C-H, C-N and C-O groups are also confirmed by FTIR which exhibited peaks at 1400-1500, 2090-3090, 1100-1180, 1010-1060 and 625-780 cm-1. Furthermore, mass spectroscopic data also gives strong indication for the synthesis of metal complexes.

All the newly synthesized complexes were screened for their antibacterial and antifungal activities. Antibacterial and antifungal activity against S. aureus, E.coli and A.niger, A.ustus and C.albican at conc. 250 and#181;g/ml showed excellent activity by K-1 complexes (Co2+, Cu2+, Ni2+), K-5 complexes (Zn2+, Mn2+, Cu2+), K-2 complexes (Co2+, Cu2+, Mn2+) and K-3 (Zn2+, Mn2+, Co2+, Cu2+) as compared to standard drug (Ampicillin). Hence, based on this study, it was concluded that these azo based complexes may act as a platform for designing more active antibacterial and antifungal agents.

Authors: Azevedo Afonso , Lima Thuany , Simonassi Noan , Ribeiro Matheus Pereira , Garcia Filho Fabio , Monteiro Sergio
Published: February 2022

The addition of 2 and 5 wt% of piassava fiber, a natural lignocellulosic fiber extracted from a Brazilian palm tree botanically named Attallea funifera, into cement-based matrix composites was investigated. Both alkali-treated piassava fibers by NaOH and non-treated fibers were embedded in Portland cement, lime, and sand to fabricate mortars intended for civil construction. The non-aged fresh mortars were tested for paste consistency, water retention, and relative volume of incorporated air. Preliminary results showed that the addition of NaOH-treated piassava slightly increased the water retention while decreasing the incorporated air content. Together with these preliminary results, the comparatively low density of the piassava fiber allows the fabrication of novel cement-based composite with the potential to be used as mortar in building construction.

Describing the open-source software and the methodology step by step, we expect to make it available for county workers in areas attained by wildfires, where a quick response is much needed, as the availability of information is essential for the immediate planning of mitigation measures, such as restoring road access, allocate funds for the recovery of human dwellings and assess further restoration of the ecological system. The example used is a succession of wildfires in Portugal mainland during the summer of 2017, that kills more than 60 people and seriously damaged local resources. Wildfires devastate forest ecosystems, having direct impact on vegetation cover and animal population. The economic interest is also attained, as resin extraction ends and the pine wood burned become useless for the most noble applications, so its value decreased. The tools described in this paper establish a baseline for major changes in forest ecosystems recover and allows to target priorities. Moreover, the result allows the follow up of the surface fuel loading, enabling the targeting of restoration measures in a time basis planning.

Introduction:

Cannabis use is expected to increase in the context of its decriminalization and legalization in several states. The purpose of this study was to report on the epidemiologic and demographic characteristics and inpatient postoperative outcomes of patients with cannabis use disorder (CUD) undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty (THA).

Methods:

The National Inpatient Sample registry was used to identify patients undergoing THA between 2006 and 2015. Patients were stratified into groups with and without CUD. Epidemiology, comorbidity, and outcomes data were comparatively analyzed between these two groups.

Results:

A total of 2,838,742 THAs were performed during the study period. The prevalence of CUD significantly increased from 0.10% in 2006 to 0.39% in 2015 (P < 0.0001). Patients with CUD were significantly younger, more likely to be male, had higher rates of Medicaid insurance and were more likely to be non-Hispanic Black and less likely to be non-Hispanic White when compared with the control group. When comparing patients with and without CUD, there was no significant difference in the composite any complication variable and no significant difference in seven of eight individual in-hospital complications assessed, with the exception being higher genitourinary complications in the CUD group. There were no significant differences in discharge disposition or length of stay.

Discussion:

Although CUD is significantly associated with various demographic, comorbidity, and hospital characteristics, it is not significantly associated with in-hospital complications, discharge disposition, and length of stay outcomes in the immediate in-hospital, postoperative period. It is critical for clinicians and public health professionals to understand the characteristics and expected inpatient outcomes of this evolving population of patients with CUD undergoing THA, particularly in the context of widespread legalization.

Education is one of the most important things in human life. Every human being has the right to get a proper and equal education. However, what is happening in Indonesia is the inequality of education for all Indonesian citizens. Apart from that, recently, what has been discussed is the current education system in Indonesia which is considered rigid and ineffective. We can see this from the lagging quality of education in Indonesia compared to other countries. The education system used in Indonesia is not much different from the education system in other countries. The only difference is mistakes during practice in the field. There are many basic mistakes that make the gap between the goals of the education system and its implementation in the field. Which in the end makes all the goals can not be achieved and resolved properly. This study aims to determine the state of education between cities and villages in Indonesia and also the basic mistakes and solutions to all existing problems.

Proučavanje postanka i kretanja podzemne vode i uslova njene pojave na površini zemlje od osobitog je praktičnog značaja za različite ljudske aktivnosti kao npr.: poljoprivredu (hidrotehničke melioracije); prilikom rješavanja pitanja opskrbe naselja i industrijskih središta sa pitkom, odnosno industrijskom vodom kao i za odvođenja otpadnih voda; kaptiranja mineralnih i termalnih izvora) itd.

U stručnoj literaturi, u kojoj se raspravlja problematika postanka rogaških mineralnih voda i postojanost njihove mineralizacije, odnosno problem postepene demineralizacije, navodi se, da se podzemna voda na užem izvorišnom području Rogaške Slatine kreće uglavnom u smjeru toka vode susjednog potoka Irje, tj, u pravcu sjevera—jug (5, 6, 7, 8). Smjer kretanja podzemne vode plićih horizonata ostao je prema tome definisan samo pretpostavkom sasvim općenitog značaja.

Purpose of this paper was to perform inventory of areas and features of agricultural land in the field of the Herzegovina-Neretva County based on existing data and to assess benefits of agricultural land for cultivation cabbage according to the characteristics of the soil, relief and climate. The evaluation of the land suitability was carried out in line with FAO method (FAO, 1976) according to the agro zone.

Based on conducted research, it was established that the studied area is very suitable for the production of cabbage. There are 23,249.3 ha (11.68%) suitable land for the production of cabbage and temporarily unsuitable 5,201.2 ha (2.61%) while permanently unsuitable land for intensive production of cabbage are on 170,451.8 ha (85.7%). The main limitations for intensive production of cabbage in the studied area are the slope, the depth of profile and rockiness.

According to official data on the state of the current production of cabbage in the studied area and data of suitable land and temporarily unsuitable land, the conclusion is that there are basic prerequisites in the form of land resources to expand the production of cabbage in this field.

Objective. Тo study the features of humoral immunity to SARS-CoV-2 among the medical stuff of an antitubercular hospital in the context of the spread of a new coronavirus infection. Materials and methods. The interim results of a single-center prospective observational study involving 350 employees of a pulmonary tuberculosis hospital that was not repurposed to work with COVID-19 are presented. The results of weekly monitoring of IgM and IgG levels for the period from May 15 to November 28, 2020, were analyzed in comparison with the results of diagnosis of COVID-19 cases (identification of the pathogen in a smear from the oropharynx and nasopharynx, changes in lung tissue according to computed tomography). Results. During the observation period, COVID-19 was detected in 106 people (30.3%). Antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 (IgG and/or IgM) were detected at the start of monitoring in 30 people (8.6%, 95%CI 5.8-12.2%), by the end of the follow – up period-in 95 people (27.1%, 95%CI 22.7- 32.0%). The frequency of detection of antibodies in the patients was 70.8% (95%CI 55.6-88.7%): IgM class in 23 (21.7%), G class in 73 (68.9%). The median time from disease detection to IgM detection was 1.5 weeks. (interquartile range 0-4 weeks), before the discovery of IgG – 4 weeks. (interquartile range 2-5 weeks). At any follow-up period, the chances of IgG production in the protective titer were higher in the case of moderate or severe disease with the development of pneumonia compared to the mild course (OR 2.6, 95%CI 1.1-6.3); the IgG titer was also higher (p < 0.01). «Atypical» variants of the antibody response were identified in individuals with confirmed COVID-19: no antibody formation (31 people), production of class M antibodies only (4 people); long-term persistence of IgG in a titer of less than 30 g/l, long ahead of the disease manifestation (6 people). The sensitivity of serological testing as a method for detecting current and / or transmitted coronavirus infection was 70.8% (95%CI 61.1-79.2%), and the specificity was 91.8% (95%CI 87.6-94.9%). Conclusion. The frequency of detection of antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 among employees of the TB hospital corresponds to the dynamics of the incidence of COVID-19. Virus-specific antibodies were detected in 70.8% of COVID-19 survivors (IgG in 68.9%); in the absolute majority of patients, the antibodies remained in a significant titer (IgG > 10 g/l) for 6 months or more at the start of testing. When the disease occurs without the development of viral pneumonia, the chances of forming a significant and persistent antibody response are significantly lower. Serological testing is a sensitive and highly specific method for detecting a previous COVID-19 disease.
Evaluation of Endpoint Compliance Based on the Estimation of the Muscle Activity
Authors: Kurita Yuichi , Sakurada Kohei , Tsuji Tosho
Published: February 2022

In this paper, endpoint compliance based on muscle activity is calculated by using a musculoskeletal model. Muscle force and muscle activity during a reaching movement are estimated by an optimization calculation based on the musculoskeletal and muscular contraction models. The calculated endpoint compliance during the reaching movement is shown by an ellipsoid. The difference between the muscle force- and the muscle activity-based endpoint compliance ellipsoids are discussed. The simulation results show that the short axes of the muscle activity-based ellipsoids tend to become longer than those of the muscle force-based ellipsoids.
