In consequence, the user can easily select the appropriate operator according to the desired type of fairing. Finally, we provide a

Many applications in computer graphics require complex, highly detailed models. However, the level of detail actually necessary may vary considerably. To control processing time, it is often desirable to use approximations in place of excessively detailed models. We have developed a surface

The partial clusters are then clustered in a second pass to yield the desired clusters. Our experimental results confirm that the quality of clusters produced by CURE

ABSTRACT: The main purpose of this study was to design the geometry, position and finishing materials of shading devices for central Europe latitude and weather conditions. There were two main factors considered in our study to determine the parameters of the devices. The first one – maximum daylight utilization (from energy savings point of view) and the second one – daylight distribution inside the space (on the level required by visual comfort parameters – the illuminance level and the glare index). There were some initial assumptions limiting the number of solutions. The most important was that all the elements of the devices must be permanently fixed and no rotation was permissible. It means that only one solution is required for summer and winter season. The numerical analyses were done using advanced numerical techniques based on Backward Ray Tracing Method for selected sky conditions.

thinking leads to sequences of ideas that are so tangled that their interconnections are not readily discerned. The lack of a coherent procedure to make decisions is especially troublesome when our intuition alone cannot help us to determine which of several options is the most desirable, or the least

. Due to the complexity of present day applications and communication needs, the above factors which influence the quality of communications bear a lot of significance. The present work proposes an efficient scheme to use the 20 bits of the IPv6 flow label field to indicate the desirable Quality

system can guide such adaptation to yield a batterylife of desired duration. By monitoring energy supply and demand, it is able to select the correct tradeoff between energy conservation and application quality. Our evaluation shows that this approach can meet goals that extend battery life by as much
