Abstract:
The proteome-wide analysis of protein-ligand binding sites and their interactions with ligands is important in structure-based drug design and in understanding ligand cross reactivity and toxicity. The well-known and commonly used software, SMAP, has been designed for 3D ligand binding site comparison and similarity searching of a structural proteome. SMAP can also predict drug side effects and reassign existing drugs to new indications. However, the computing scale of SMAP is limited. We have developed a high availability, high performance system that expands the comparison scale of SMAP. This cloud computing service, called Cloud-PLBS, combines the SMAP and Hadoop frameworks and is deployed on a virtual cloud computing platform. To handle the vast amount of experimental data on protein-ligand binding site pairs, Cloud-PLBS exploits the MapReduce paradigm as a management and parallelizing tool. Cloud-PLBS provides a web portal and scalability through which biologists can address a wide range of computer-intensive questions in biology and drug discovery.

Abstract:
Since Vietnam began to open up to the outside world in the 1990s, its national shipbuilding industry has witnessed great development. So far it has assumed a share of the international shipbuilding market. To build ships for foreign custumers is obviously more complicated than for dosmetic shipowners. Nowadays, the computer technology has been advancing greatly. So, to compete with foreign designs, we have also devised a strategy to develop its techniques and technology by acquiring the latest software from advanced shipbuilding countries like United States, Europe, Korea, Japan, China, … Among the special modern softwares – Plant Design Management Systems (PDMS) is a new trend in the shipbuilding industry. Indeed, the naval architects and marine engineers can design, modify, manage hull construction and outfitting their database on the 3D object with its … and their drawing travelled directly to CNC machines. All in all, we have little time to catch this new techniques of the global. This is both a challenge and an opportunity to the national shipbuilding industry.

Abstract:
Abstract The three-dimensional (3D) design data employed in a process plant construction project are generated during both the basic design and detailed design stages and are used for various purposes throughout the life cycle of the project. After the design stage, 3D design data are converted to a lightweight 3D format and utilized to support procurement, construction, and audit work in a collaborative project management system. However, significant time and cost are incurred when separate interfaces to convert design data are developed for each plant 3D computer-aided design (CAD) system. As an alternative, a method exists to integrate an interface using a neutral model. After translating the 3D input design data for the plant 3D CAD system to a neutral format, this study proposes an interface for use in collaborative project management by converting the data into a lightweight 3D model. In addition, detailed techniques for implementing the proposed interface are described. To verify the validity of the proposed neutral model-based 3D design data interface, translation, inspection, and lightweighting experiments are performed using 3D design data for a synthesized natural gas production plant project.

Abstract:
An important factor in consumers’ acceptability, beyond visual appearance and taste, is food texture. The elderly and people with dysphagia are more likely to present malnourishment due to visually and texturally unappealing food. Three-dimensional Printing is an additive manufacturing technology that can aid the food industry in developing novel and more complex food products and has the potential to produce tailored foods for specific needs. As a technology that builds food products layer by layer, 3D Printing can present a new methodology to design realistic food textures by the precise placement of texturing elements in the food, printing of multi-material products, and design of complex internal structures. This paper intends to review the existing work on 3D food printing and discuss the recent developments concerning food texture design. Advantages and limitations of 3D Printing in the food industry, the material-based printability and model-based texture, and the future trends in 3D Printing, including numerical simulations, incorporation of cooking technology to the printing, and 4D modifications are discussed. Key challenges for the mainstream adoption of 3D Printing are also elaborated on.

Abstract:
O bambu é considerado um dos materiais naturais com a melhor relação resistência por peso. Entre as características responsáveis encontram-se os feixes fibrosos do esclerênquima, que protegem os elementos de condução de água e solutos na planta, além de serem preenchidos pelo parênquima. Os feixes estão distribuídos gradual-mente, da parte interna à externa do bambu, aumentando a rigidez do colmo. Contudo, a morfologia da seção dos feixes fibrosos e a presença da matriz parenquimática no caule ainda não foram totalmente estudados, quanto à sua importância estrutural, nem aplicados em estruturas biônicas. Esse estudo trata do design de estruturas biônicas baseada na caracterização do bambu, por meio de técnicas não-invasivas, de proto-tipagem e de análise por elementos finitos. Um protocolo de amolecimento e secagem para secionamento foi seguido em uma amostra de bambu (Bambusa tuldoides Munro). A superfície da amostra foi analisada por microtomografia computadorizada de raios X de alta resolução. As imagens resultantes permitiram a segmentação dos tecidos constituintes e caracterização em nível celular. Os modelos 3D do parênquima e do esclerênquima foram discretizados para uma análise por elementos finitos não-linear. Os resultados mostraram que o parênquima é configurado como uma matriz celular de baixa densidade e que distribui as tensões em todos os elementos de re-forço na planta, sendo considerado um tecido com importante função estrutural. De mesmo modo, a geometria da seção dos feixes fibrosos apresentou um desempenho mecânico superior às seções referenciais. Ambas características foram aplicadas no desenvolvimento de duas estruturas biônicas, sendo analisadas como mais eficientes em comparação a um modelo da literatura, e impressas em 3D para análise visual.
Bamboo is considered one of the natural materials with the best strength-to-weight ratio. Among the features responsible for its properties are the sclerenchyma’s fiber bundles that protect the conducting elements of water and solutes in the plant, and are filled by parenchyma. Bamboo fibers are gradually distributed from the inner to the outer side of the plant, thus increasing the culm stiffness. However, the morphology of the section of the fiber bundles and the presence of the parenchymatic matrix in the stem have not been fully studied regarding its structural importance, neither applied in bionic structures. This study addresses the design of bionic structures based on the characterization of bamboo, by means of non-invasive techniques, rapid prototyping and finite element analysis. A bamboo sample (Bambusa tuldoides Munro) was col-lected and softening and drying protocols were followed for proper sectioning. The surface of the sample was analyzed by high-resolution X-ray microcomputed tomog-raphy. Resulting images allowed the segmentation of the sample’s constituent tissues and the characterization at a cellular level. The 3D models of the parenchyma and sclerenchyma were discretized for a non-linear finite element analysis. The results showed that the parenchyma is set as a low-density cellular matrix by distributing the stresses among all reinforcement elements in the plant, being considered a tissue with great structural importance. Likewise, the shape of the fiber bundles’ section showed superior mechanical performance compared to reference sections. Both characteris-tics were applied in the development of two bionic structures that were analyzed as more efficient than a literature model, and 3D printed for a visual analysis.

Abstract:
Green Relationship is a design solution attempting to raise awareness toward the environment and reduce consumerism. Waste generation and pollution have become major concerns of many governments, municipalities, organizations and individuals around the world since they are affecting human wellbeing and the environment. As an MFA student with VCUQatar, I chose to use design to contribute in protecting the environment hoping to make a difference in life. The thesis includes a research and a design component. The research explores the recycling programs and facilities in Qatar, the governmental and private sector actions toward waste generation and collection, as well as precedent solutions applied around the world. Furthermore, it includes a survey on recycling to gather and analyze the community’s feed back in order to come up with a solution that aims to change people’s behavior toward waste generation and to promote green lifestyle. The design component defines the Green Relationship as the personal connection between the individual and the silent partner, “the environment.” It fulfills the basic survival needs, “food and water,” and the one and only independency need, “oxygen.” The elements of the Green Relationship are the projection of the generic relationships elements we know of through the theory of “Humimicing” that I introduce in my thesis. Humimicing is the design theory that mimics human innate attributes and behaviors to develop design concepts to be applied in different industries. Every element of the Green Relationship is visualized through a different design discipline similar to its nature. Therefore, interactive, product and critical designs are the mediums used to represent Green Communication, Care and Ethics respectively through public installation, experimentation and conceptual design definition. The thesis methodology, which is “Make it Personal,” concludes in creating the Green Relationship that aims to change the behavior of individuals and ultimately to reach out to the wider community. Under the maxim, “Green is not just a color; it is a Lifestyle,” the thesis promotes the use of design to inspire people, designers and manufacturers to consume less and generate less waste in order to save natural resources and the environment.

Abstract:
Increasing energy demand urge the developing countries to consider different types of energy sources. Owing the fact that the energy production capacity of renewable energy sources is lower than a nuclear power plant, developed countries like US, France, Japan, Russia and China lead to construct nuclear power plants. These countries compensate 80% of their energy need from nuclear power plants. Further, they periodically conduct tests in order to assess the safety of the existing nuclear power plants by applying impact type loads to the structures. In this study, a sample third-generation nuclear reactor building has been selected to assess its seismic behavior and to observe the crack propagations of the prestressed outer containment. First, a 3D model has been set up using ABAQUS finite element program. Afterwards, modal analysis is conducted to determine the mode shapes. Nonlinear dynamic time history analyses are then followed using an artificial strong ground motion which is compatible with the mean design spectrum of the previously selected ground motions that are scaled to Eurocode 8 Soil type B design spectrum. Results of the conducted nonlinear dynamic analyses are considered in terms of stress distributions and crack propagations.

Abstract:
Abstract The European Pressurized Water Reactor Project (EPR) is based on an innovative design concept for a new type of pressurized water reactor. The development of this concept will be carried out by a consortium of international partners and customers based in Germany and France. During the development of the EPR large amounts of up-to-date engineering data (i.e. CAD data, planning documentation) have to be made available to all project partners for presentation and development. This paper describes the web-based tool Virtual Web Plant (VWP), a tool to integrate 3D models from various CAD plant design tools and to display them interactively. The tool receives the data through the Internet. We describe the special advantages of an object-oriented database for the storage of the graphical data are shown. Through the application of object-oriented databases, it is possible to define various views of the logical plant structure, for example. The user is hereby able to navigate easily through both the plant structure and the project documentation. The work presented in this paper is part of a Virtual Reality Research Project of the Heinz Nixdorf Institute and the Siemens AG KWU.

Abstract:
This paper studies the development method of integration between design and analysis. Development is based on the current design platform of nuclear power plant of SNERDI - PDS. Because of complexity and iterations, the calculation and analysis work often takes a lot of manpower and drags down the entire design progress. To improve efficient and accuracy, the integration between design and analysis became the trend of technology development. Some design systems, such as Ansys Workbanch, ProE, Catia and so on, can be integrated modeling and analysis in a unified platform. However, these systems can be only applied to product design, but not in nuclear power design. At present, CAP series NPP mainly uses PDS as the layout design platform of all disciplines. This paper describes the bidirectional data sharing between design and analysis, effectively expand the scope of data utilization, and enhance the efficiency of the analysis.

Abstract:
In general, there are two methods to pass on design information in a petrochemical plant design: the manual data key-in method and the file data transfer method. The manual data key-in method is a basic method to pass on data; but this method is time consuming to assign data in one by one fashion. The file data transfer method is a mapping file data from one program to another program under certain specific function and criteria. This paper starts with how to use a file data transfer method to create a stress analysis model, and then proposes an approach to transfer the stress analysis result to a structural analysis program by using the Pipe Loadings Transfer Program. In a piping design using 3D plant design software for modeling, the piping design information can be directly transferred to the stress input file by using point vectors to create a stress analysis model. The concepts of a pipe support vector and a beam vector were introduced to transfer the pipe loadings from stress analysis results to a structural analysis program. The advantages of using a file data transfer method are simple, fast, and accurate.

Abstract:
Blowing snow accounts for a large part of Illinois Department of Transportation’s total winter maintenance expenditures. This project aims to develop recommendations on the design and placement of living snow fences (LSFs) to minimize snowdrift on Illinois highways. The research team examined historical IDOT data for resource expenditures, conducted a literature review and survey of northern agencies, developed and validated a numerical model, field tested selected LSFs, and used a model to assist LSF design. Field testing revealed that the proper snow fence setback distance should consider the local prevailing winter weather conditions, and snow fences within the right-of-way could still be beneficial to agencies. A series of numerical simulations of flow around porous fences were performed using Flow-3D, a computational fluid dynamics software. The results of the simulations of the validated model were employed to develop design guidelines for siting LSFs on flat terrain and for those with mild slopes (< 15° from horizontal). Guidance is provided for determining fence setback, wind characteristics, fence orientation, as well as fence height and porosity. Fences comprised of multiple rows are also addressed. For sites with embankments with steeper slopes, guidelines are provided that include a fence at the base and one or more fence on the embankment. The design procedure can use the available right-of-way at a site to determine the appropriate fence characteristics (e.g., height and porosity) to prevent snow deposition on the road. The procedure developed in this work provides an alternative that uses available setback to design the fence. This approach does not consider snow transport over an entire season and may be less effective in years with several large snowfall events, very large single events, or a sequence of small events with little snowmelt in between. However, this procedure is expected to be effective for more frequent snowfall events such as those that occurred over the field-monitoring period. Recommendations were made to facilitate the implementation of research results by IDOT. The recommendations include a proposed process flow for establishing LSFs for Illinois highways, LSF siting and design guidelines (along with a list of suitable plant species for LSFs), as well as other implementation considerations and identified research needs.
