A comparative visualization of multiple volume data sets is challenging due to the inherent occlusion effects, yet it important effectively reveal uncertainties, correlations and reliable trends in 3D ensemble fields. In this paper we present bidirectional linking multi-charts as a means analyze visually scalar fields at level. Multi-charts are an extension conventional bar line charts: They linearize points along space-filling curve draw them charts same plot area. The encode statistical...

We present a new visual analysis approach to support the comparative exploration of 2D vector-valued ensemble fields. Our enables user quickly identify most similar groups members, as well locations where variation among members is high. further provide means visualize main features potentially multimodal directional distributions at user-selected locations. For this purpose, data modelled using mixtures probability density functions (pdfs), which allows us characterize and classify complex...

Visualizing sets of isosurfaces from 3D scalar ensemble fields is a difficult task due to inherent occlusion effects, yet it often required analyze the uncertainty represented by such an ensemble. In this paper, we present novel visualization technique for ensembles based on screen-space silhouettes. By using silhouettes, displayed information reduced avoid occlusions, major shape surfaces can be maintained. Our approach preserves spatial coherence and does not make any assumption about...

We propose a new approach for analyzing the central tendency (centrality) of an ensemble shapes in 2D or 3D space. Our provides means to determine most shape from given set shapes, quantify region-wise centrality and compute locally representative shape. Unlike previous approaches, which build upon binary functions signed distance fields locate domain points with respect orientable we introduce closest point representation analysis ensembles shapes. By using this representation, our can...

Construction performance parameters have experienced greater international attention and discussion in recent years. In this study, the change load-bearing system cost of a reinforced concrete housing estate building was investigated relation to importance factor, earthquake region, soil type, floor area, number stories. Three different projects with seven fifteen stories were investigated. The structural design calculations performed according four types, regions, factors. With regards each...

Abstract In this paper we present a technique which allows us to perform high quality and progressive response surface prediction from multidimensional input samples in an efficient manner. We utilize kriging interpolation estimate minimizes the expectation value variance of error. High computational efficiency is achieved by employing parallel matrix vector operations on GPU. Our approach differs previous approaches that it uses novel updating scheme for new based blockwise inversion. way...

GPU voxel-based surface ray-casting has positioned as an interesting alternative to rasterization-based rendering approaches, because it allows using many processing units simultaneously, can effectively exploit thread level parallelism, and enables fine-granularity occlusion culling on the pixel level. Yet techniques face problem that extremely high resolution is necessary avoid block artifacts at zoom levels. In this work, we propose a novel improvement of overcome limitation. By...

Finite cracks located in an infinite planar domain subjected to a given inplane remote loading are considered. The formulation is based on well known dislocation density distribution modeling. General presented two interacting and results also obtained for this case. effect of the relative positions, orientations lengths stress intensity factors field analyzed extensively order emphasize some features which have not been pointed out previous studies such as, dependence shielding regions...

For an understanding failure behavior of crystalline solids, considerable interest is given to investigating interaction effects between the main crack and microcracks in presence mobile dislocations. Accurate analysis these types problems may lead accurate models for prevention history plastic zone development. High stress concentration areas such as tips are places where dislocations subjected higher forces. Therefore, a computer simulation technique based on dislocation dynamics has been...

To be active alone in the international arena increasingly globalized world will become almost impossible. Both production and service sectors, most important condition to breast competition market is manufacture quality accordance with constantly changing developing standards, cost win competition. For this reason, Value Management applications have inevitable Turkish construction sector. Although began develop after 50's, it a new concept for Turkey. Strategic decisions taken early stage...
