Year: 2022

description: The advances in image capture technology have made it easier and more affordable to collect images and videos. Thus, most construction site are now equipped with surveillance cameras that continuously capture visual data which contain valuable information that can be used to assess the four main on-site construction processes: safety monitoring, progress monitoring, productivity monitoring and quality control. Computer vision algorithms and techniques are the most suitable tools to extract meanings (such as object location) from these data. The computer vision technique that has advanced the most and is the most used in the industry is object detection. This review aims to present the use of object detection to assess the four on-site construction processes and identify the challenges and opportunities that need to be addressed to correctly deploy and use this solution. Among the initial results there is a lack of research on object detection applied to quality control and the biggest challenges that object detection techniques face are the data acquisition, the construction environment and the limited hardware.

description: Background: Campylobacter jejuni (C. jejuni) is one of the most common causes of bacterial gastroenteritis worldwide. One sequela of this infection is the development of post-infectious irritable bowel syndrome (PI-IBS). It has been suggested that a dysfunctional intestinal barrier may promote IBS development. We aimed to test this hypothesis against the background of the leaky gut concept for low-grade inflammation in PI-IBS. Methods: We identified patients with persistent PI-IBS symptoms after C. jejuni infection. During sigmoidoscopy, forceps biopsies were obtained for electrophysiological measurements of epithelial transport and barrier function in miniaturized Ussing devices. C. jejuni absence was checked by PCR and cytokine production with immunohistochemistry. Results: In PI-IBS, the epithelial resistance of the colon epithelium was unaltered, reflecting an intact paracellular pathway. In contrast, temperature-dependent horseradish peroxidase (HRP, 44 kDa) permeation increased. Short-circuit current (Isc) reflecting active anion secretion and ENaC-dependent electrogenic sodium absorption was unaffected. Early endosome antigen-1 (EEA1) and IL-4 levels increased. C. jejuni is not incorporated into the resident microbiota of the colon mucosa in PI-IBS. Conclusions: In PI-IBS after C. jejuni infection, macromolecule uptake via endocytosis was enhanced, leading to low-grade inflammation with pro-inflammatory cytokine release. The findings will allow C. jejuni-induced pathomechanisms to be targeted during infection and, thereafter to reduce sequelae such as PI-IBS.

description: Let $X$ be a normal complex projective variety, $T\subseteq X$ a subvariety, $a\colon X\rightarrow A$ a morphism to an abelian variety such that $\rm{Pic}^0(A)$ injects into $\rm{Pic}^0(T)$ and let $L$ be a line bundle on $X$. Denote by $X^{(d)}\to X$ the connected étale cover induced by the $d$-th multiplication map of $A$, by $T^{(d)} \subseteq X^{(d)}$ the preimage of $T$ and by $L^{(d)}$ the pull-back of $L$ to $X^{(d)}$. For $α\in \rm{Pic}^0(A)$ general, we study the restricted linear system $|L^{(d)}\otimes a^*α|_{|T^{(d)}}$: if for some $d$ this gives a generically finite map $φ^{(d)}$, we show that f $φ^{(d)}$ is independent of $α$ or $d$ sufficiently large and divisible, and is induced by the {\em eventual map} $φ\colon T\to Z$ such that $a_{|T}$ factorizes through $φ$. The generic value $h^0_a(X_{|T}, L)$ of $h^0(X_{|T}, L\otimesα)$ is called the {\em (restricted) continuous rank.} We prove that if $M$ is the pull back of an ample divisor of $A$, then $x\mapsto h^0_a(X_{|T}, L+xM)$ extends to a continuous function of $x\in\mathbb{R}$, which is differentiable except possibly at countably many points; when $X=T$ we compute the left derivative explicitly. In the case when $X$ and $T$ are smooth, combining the above results we prove Clifford-Severi type inequalities, i.e., geographical bounds of the form $$\rm{vol}_{X|T}(L)\geq C(m) h^0_a(X_{|T},L),$$ where $C(m)={\mathcal O}(m!)$.

Year: 2022

description: Prompt diagnosis and resolution of building problems is essential for facility management personnel to maintain an acceptable level of service for their buildings. While the condition of many building components is assessed based on detailed inspection reports, some components depend more on maintenance requests received from occupants. Currently, facility management teams analyze these variety of data and decide on the required rehabilitation strategy, which is a manual process that is inefficient and subjective. This paper demonstrates the flexible use of data mining techniques on two sample building components with different data types, to support asset rehabilitation decisions. The paper focuses on roofing elements as an example of hidden building systems that are assessed by expert inspectors, and HVAC systems which are assessed based mainly on occupants’ feedback. The paper discusses how data mining can be applied flexibly to data samples of the two building components. The presented approach aims to streamline the asset prioritization process for large owner organizations such as university campuses and school boards, especially in the case of limited budgets.

description: Adopting robots in the construction industry can address the main issues existing for a long time in this industry, i.e., low productivity, high safety incident and injury rates, and skilled labour shortage. Due to the advancements in artificial intelligence, sensing and computing technologies over the past few years, robot applications for automating manual and repetitive construction activities have been rising. Dynamics, uniqueness, and complexity of construction sites are the primary hindrances for adopting robots in the construction environment. Building Information Modeling (BIM) can assist robots to overcome these hindrances by providing geometric, topological, and semantic data about the construction and built environment in a digital format. Recent studies have attempted to exploit BIM data for enhancing robot navigation, planning robot tasks, and construction progress tracking. This study aims to report the state of the art in the emerging applications of BIM in robotics through systematically reviewing the literature and providing the trend of the studies for utilising BIM in promoting robot applications in the construction industry.

Year: 2022

description: This paper explores potential AI-supported design and construction pipelines for irregular shape buildings after characterizing 3D object features of salvaged building materials. The purpose is to support researchers to achieve goals of generative design, fit-to-a-BIM design, and procurement optimization through well-identified building elements. Steps in redesigning pipelines include data capture, semantic segmentation, and object classification for 3D point clouds and 2D images of recovered materials. Potential to extend these methods to point clouds and images of parts of existing buildings is considered in future work as well. Specifically, object characterization by means of computer vision is discussed in terms of the derivation of critical dimensions, geometric properties, and element conditions. Based on the information generated from these processes, generative design approaches for primarily geometrically constrained design problems are explored first. Next, Rules-based BIM design tools are considered for the potential size fitting method. Finally, a conception for optimizing the procurement process for reused components is proposed. The application of these processing pipelines is practically demonstrated for a simple case of dividing wall material selection and generative design utilizing salvaged bricks in the platform of Visual programming design platform (Grasshopper). It is anticipated that these approaches would be extended in the future to more classes of materials and to more critical design and procurement problems, such as structural design as well as value estimation.

description: To address the dearth of management of lettuce in the Indo-Gangetic plains, field experiment was conducted on a sandy loam Inceptisol for optimizing the irrigation, nitrogen requirement and economics of lettuce for three years. Four irrigation levels (conventional, I1 and irrigation at 0.6, 0.8, 1.0 irrigation water to cumulative pan evaporation (IW/CPE) ratio, as I2, I3 and I4) and three nitrogen management (100% recommended dose of N i.e., RDN as inorganic, N1; 50:50% RDN as inorganic: vermicompost, N2 and 100% RDN as vermicompost, N3) was laid out in thrice replicated split plot design. All the major physiological characteristics like plant height, number of leaves, average head diameter was improved with I4, N2 and their interaction (I4N2). Maximum average head yield (10.6 t ha-1) was obtained with I4 and I3, 10.5 t ha-1 for N2, while I4N2 yielded 11.3 t ha-1. Maximum water productivity (11.8 kg m-3) was obtained under I2N2. A strong non-linear relationship was detected between yield with irrigation water applied (R2 = 0.999). Higher soil moisture extraction (80.2%) in top 0–30 cm and lower (19.8%) for 30–45 cm depth and maximum leaf dry matter yield, nutrient concentrations and uptake was found with I4N2 and I3N2. The moderate deficit irrigation and optimum nutrient at I3N2 was found best for optimizing yield, higher water productivity, nitrogen economy and monetary returns of lettuce.

description: In India, 24.20% of the accidents are construction related, causing nearly 38 deaths every day. Since every construction activity has some level of associated hazards, it often leads to either loss of lives, compensation loss, work delays, or various levels of ergonomic and Musculo-Skeletal Disorders (MSDs). Poor safety management at sites often leads to accidents and reduced worker’s morale and productivity which ultimately increases indirect cost (4 times the direct cost). Safety planning also becomes necessary in Indian construction sector as it employs 51 million people but has only 4% formally skilled labours. Hence, safety planning is one of the aspects that should be paid much attention to in project management. The current study harnesses risk assessment using Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) method to identify and rank major hazards and associated risks. A safety database was prepared from applicable safety codes. Risk assessment data and safety database were integrated using Visual Scripting in Dynamo v.2.10 and exported to BIM environment of Autodesk Revit to generate a ‘Safety Schedule’ along with safety measures, which is a state-of-the-art approach in the domain of safety planning. A case study demonstrates the applicability and effectiveness of the proposed method. The proposed approach can be used by designers, site project managers, safety engineers, and other participants as a tool to foresee and predict hazards. As a result, accidents can be avoided by making timely decisions and proactive actions.

description: Today, parcel logistics hubs, where packages come in from many origins and are sorted to their many destinations, are both capital and labor intensive, with capacity that is largely determined by investments in conveyors. In this paper, in the context of Physical Internet growth, we propose a next-generation hyperconnected parcel hub concept that leverages parcel containerized consolidation, does not use conveyors, is robot-centric, with minimal requirement for human operators. Hub capacity can be readily adjusted to accommodate changing logistics patterns. The hub concept is described along with a demonstration case study, the fundamental hub design and operational decisions are identified, and a research roadmap is defined.

description: Changes in extreme human bioclimate conditions are accepted evidence for and serve as a broad measure of anthropogenic climate change. The essential objective of the current study was to investigate past and future thermal bioclimate conditions across West Bengal (WB), India. The daily physiologically equivalent temperature (PET) was calculated by considering definite climate variables as inputs. These meteorological variables were captured from the Coordinated Regional Downscaling Experiment (CORDEX)-South Asia. The initial results from this research work present the mean monthly distribution of each PET class over the considered stations of WB during the period (1986–2005) and three future time periods: (i) near future (2016–2035), (ii) mid-future (2046–2065), and (iii) far future (2080–2099). It was observed that the months from April to June comprise heat stress months in terms of human thermal perception, whereas thermally acceptable conditions begin in November and continue until March for most stations. Results from future PET changes over WB in the context of the reference period (1986–2005) reveal a prominent increase in warm and hot PETs for all future time periods in two different greenhouse gas emission scenarios. During the far-future time period, stations within a kilometer of the Bay of Bengal such as Digha, Diamond Harbour, Canning, and Baruipur account for the highest percentage in the warm PET class (35.7–43.8 °C) in high-end emission scenarios. Simultaneously, during the period from 2080 to 2099, Kolkata, Dum Dum, Kharagpur, and Siliguri will experience a PET greater than 43.8 °C for close to 10% of the days in the year and more than 10% in Sriniketan, Malda, Asansol, and Birbhum. During the far-future period, a negative change in the very cool PET class (<3.3 °C) indicating a decrease in cold days was the largest for Darjeeling.
Towards wholeness in engineering education: The role of reflective writing

description: Reflective writing has been in common use for decades as an educational process in professional education programmes, especially in teacher education, healthcare, and social care. In such programs, students typically reflect on selected professional interpersonal encounters that occur in the context of work placements to inform their future practice. Reflective writing is rare in engineering education. This study examines an implementation of pre-placement reflective writing in an undergraduate problem and project-based learning (Pj-PBL) civil engineering curriculum. The research is conducted in Action Research (AR) mode. The combination of topic (reflective writing), timing (on-campus pre-placement), pedagogical context (a Pj-PBL engineering curriculum) and research approach (AR) constitute a novel contribution to engineering educational thought and practice. The study raises issues that span ontology, epistemology, methodology and ethics. It is suggested that the thought of Bernard Lonergan casts useful light on the issues raised by the study and may also help to clarify and unify the disparate field of reflective practice in education while the work of John Cowan informs the specific implementation of reflective practice developed in the study. The Pj-PBL curriculum context is described. The rationale for implementing reflective writing in engineering education is examined and, in AR mode, pedagogical practices for integrating reflective writing into a Pj-PBL civil engineering curriculum are developed. The collaborative dialogical processes that facilitated the development of practice are outlined and the associated pressures and tensions that beset the AR practitioner and hisstudents are discussed. The students’ varied responses to the pedagogical practices developed are examined in detail. Dilemmas and tensions relating to student agency, confidentiality and assessment are discussed and approaches to navigating such tensions are presented. Several benefits of implementing reflective writing in Pj-PBL engineering curricula are claimed.

IFC-BIM-Based Critical Energy Consumption Zones Identification in Buildings

Year: 2022

description: A recent wave of interest in building energy consumption and estimation has inbred a considerable amount of energy data and building information, which boosts the data-driven algorithms for broad application throughout the building industry. Also, cities and buildings are increasingly interconnected with modern data models like the 3D city model and Building Information Modelling (BIM) for urban management these days. In the past decades, BIM appears to have been primarily used for visualization. However, BIM has been recently used for a wide range of applications, especially in building energy consumption. Unfortunately, despite extensive research, BIM is less used in data-driven approaches due to its complexity in the data model and incompatibility with machine learning algorithms. Therefore, this paper highlights the potential opportunity to apply graph-based learning algorithms (e.g., GraphSAGE) using the enriched semantic, geometry, and room topology information extracted from BIM data to find the critical zones in the perspective of energy consumption in different spaces of the building. The preliminary results demonstrated a promising finding of critical zones in buildings that improve pre-construction and post-construction steps.

J. 1974], with folklore results for finite fields and finite cyclic groups, and more general recent results of Grau and Oller-Marcen for commutative rings [Finite Fields Appl. 2017]. As an application, we resolve a conjecture by Fortuny Ayuso, Grau, Oller-Marcen, and Rua on zeta values for matrix rings over finite commutative rings [Internat. J. Algebra Comput. 2017]. We further recast our main result via zeta values over polynomial rings, and end by classifying the translation-invariant polynomials over a large class of finite commutative rings.

description: Pancreatic cancer is the seventh leading cause of cancer death in both sexes. The aim of this study is to analyze baseline CT body composition using artificial intelligence to identify possible imaging predictors of survival. We retrospectively included 103 patients. First, the presence of surgical treatment and cut-off values for sarcopenia and obesity served as independent variates. Second, the presence of surgery, subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT), visceral adipose tissue (VAT), and skeletal muscle index (SMI) served as independent variates. Cox regression analysis was performed for 1-year, 2-year, and 3-year survival. Possible differences between patients undergoing surgical versus nonsurgical treatment were analyzed. Presence of surgery significantly predicted 1-year, 2-year, and 3-year survival (p = 0.01, <0.001, and <0.001, respectively). Across the follow-up periods of 1-year, 2-year, and 3-year survival, the presence of sarcopenia became an equally important predictor of survival (p = 0.25, 0.07, and <0.001, respectively). Additionally, increased VAT predicted 2-year and 3-year survival (p = 0.02 and 0.04, respectively). The impact of sarcopenia on 3-year survival was higher in the surgical treatment group (p = 0.02 and odds ratio = 2.57) compared with the nonsurgical treatment group (p = 0.04 and odds ratio = 1.92). Fittingly, a lower SMI significantly affected 3-year survival only in patients who underwent surgery (p = 0.02). Especially if surgery is performed, AI-derived sarcopenia and reduced muscle mass are unfavorable imaging predictors.

description: Construction projects often deviate from their planned schedule and have poor records about the updates on the project’s progress. Access to project data is a crucial aspect that seeks attention to make data-driven decisions to reduce delays. Therefore, this research aims to investigate the causes of delays and the available data usage, specifically during the execution phase of a building construction project. The factors causing cost and time overruns and the less use of Electronic Data Management Systems (EDMS) were identified from the past literature. A questionnaire survey was conducted with 100 Indian professionals to assess the impact of the shortlisted factors and the data usage trends in the Indian context. Henry Garret's method was used to rank the factors. The experts were interviewed to investigate the root causes of the delays and identify the triggering events that cause the same. The survey findings indicated the change in scope of work, continuous revisions in the drawings, and delay in approval from higher authorities as the top three reasons. 88.8% of the respondents from the survey were affirmative that real-time monitoring of a project would help them to address the delay issues. This research presents a unique attempt to identify the delay causes specifically during the project’s execution phase, along with outlining the data usage trends in the Indian context. The work can be extended to developing a real-time monitoring framework to optimally utilize the data of a project’s execution phase.

description: Point cloud (PC) processing using deep neural networks (DNNs) has been attracting an increasing amount of attention due to its high performance in tasks, such as Industry Foundation Classes (IFC)-based object classification. DNNs typically rely on large labeled-sample sizes for training. On the other hand, 3D IFC object annotation is a time-consuming task, and the existing datasets are only small sized labeled samples. In this study, we perform a set of experiments to assess the training progress and generalization capacity of two state-of-the-art DNNs for IFC object classification. The results show that limited training samples can lead to inefficient learning by DNNs, even if a large portion of the annotated samples are allocated to the training task. The conducted experiments indicate that overfitting on the training set as well as low speed convergence during the training are some of the main issues for classification of 3D IFC objects using DNNs. To tackle these issues, future studies could take advantage of unsupervised and semi-supervised learning methods to use a greater volume of unlabeled samples for training and decrease the reliance of DNNs on annotated data.

description: We report on the role of well-formed conceptual and linguistic ontologies in empirically grounded `spoken dialogue systems' (SDS). In particular we use empirical results from spatial dialogues in German to argue for the strict separation of linguistically motivated knowledge from non-linguistic, domain concerns. We motivate our arguments with a number of examples relevant to the language generation task, and show how a well-defined separation of linguistic and domain concerns can be effected in a practical SDS.

description: Logical nonlocality is completely characterized by Hardy's "paradox" in (2,2,l) and (2,k,2) scenarios. We consider a variety of consequences and applications of this fact. (i) Polynomial algorithms may be given for deciding logical nonlocality in these scenarios. (ii) Bell states are the only entangled two-qubit states which are not logically nonlocal under projective measurements. (iii) It is possible to witness Hardy nonlocality with certainty in a simple tripartite quantum system. (iv) Noncommutativity of observables is necessary and sufficient for enabling logical nonlocality.

description: The delivery of construction projects in general can be complex and demanding and presents well-documented challenges to the control of cost, safety, and quality. This situation becomes even more challenging in the case of renovation projects due to the high level of interaction with occupants, especially when they remain in the building over the renovation period. The safety of project participants as well as that of occupants when they are present in the renovation site must be ensured. Although the planning and management of such projects can be greatly enhanced by exploiting some of the advantages of Building Information Modelling (BIM), the process of construction hazard identification and renovation scenarios assessment is still human-based and so requires considerable time and effort. Moreover, there is little research that addresses how hazard identification can best be represented and processed automatically in order to optimise and develop more effective strategies for managing construction projects, particularly those involving the systematic renovation of existing properties for better energy performance. Using BIM along with Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools could help in processing the massive amount of newly-available data and knowledge (e.g., feedback, images captured from smart devices, IoT sensors) that are increasingly obtainable. A prerequisite for doing so is the development of a dedicated ontology that would enable the formalisation of domain knowledge, including associated concepts, relations, and constraints that are specific to renovation project hazard. The authors propose an ontology and demonstrate its application by developing a knowledge-based system for application within the context of deep renovation projects that are part of a large European research project: the RINNO project.

description: The utilization of fluorescein-guided biopsies has recently been discussed to improve and expedite operative techniques in the detection of tumor-positive tissue, as well as to avoid making sampling errors. In this study, we aimed to report our experience with fluorescein-guided biopsies and elucidate distribution patterns in different histopathological diagnoses in order to develop strategies to increase the efficiency and accuracy of this technique. We report on 45 fluorescence-guided stereotactic biopsies in 44 patients (15 female, 29 male) at our institution from March 2016 to March 2021, including 25 frame-based stereotactic biopsies and 20 frameless image-guided biopsies using VarioGuide (R). A total number of 347 biopsy samples with a median of 8 samples (range: 4-18) per patient were evaluated for intraoperative fluorescein uptake and correlated to definitive histopathology. The median age at surgery was 63 years (range: 18-87). Of the acquired specimens, 63% were fluorescein positive. Final histopathology included glioblastoma (n = 16), B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (n = 10), astrocytoma, IDH-mutant WHO grade III (n = 6), astrocytoma, IDH-mutant WHO grade II (n = 1), oligodendroglioma, IDH-mutant and 1p/19q-codeleted WHO grade II (n = 2), reactive CNS tissue/inflammation (n = 4), post-transplantation lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD; n = 2), ependymoma (n = 1), infection (toxoplasmosis; n = 1), multiple sclerosis (n = 1), and metastasis (n = 1). The sensitivity for high-grade gliomas was 85%, and the specificity was 70%. For contrast-enhancing lesions, the specificity of fluorescein was 84%. The number needed to sample for contrast-enhancing lesions was three, and the overall number needed to sample for final histopathological diagnosis was five. Interestingly, in the astrocytoma, IDH-mutant WHO grade III group, 22/46 (48%) demonstrated fluorescein uptake despite no evidence for gadolinium uptake, and 73% of these were tumor-positive. In our patient series, fluorescein-guided stereotactic biopsy increases the likelihood of definitive neuropathological diagnosis, and the number needed to sample can be reduced by 50% in contrast-enhancing lesions.
