Pneumatic, Kinetic and Mobile Structures
Pneumatic, kinetic and mobile structures can adapt to changing environments and needs. Pneumatic structures use compressed air or vacuum pressure within membranes, fabrics or films to create enclosed spaces like domes or vaults. Kinetic structures incorporate movable or changeable elements to transform buildings for varying functions. Mobile structures are lightweight and portable, allowing installation and removal in temporary or seasonal applications. Together, these structural approaches provide flexibility through architectural motion and adaptation.
Pneumatic structures-modular construction technology
Pneumatic structures use thin, pressurized membranes to create enclosed spaces. Their key advantages are their light weight, ability to span large distances, quick assembly and disassembly times, and relatively low cost compared to permanent structures. There are two main types: air-supported structures, which use low internal pressure to support a single membrane, and air-inflated structures, which use pressurized air within building elements but keep the interior at atmospheric pressure. Materials used include plastics, fabrics, rubber, and metal foils.
dome and vault
Domes and vaults are architectural elements that provide covered interior spaces. Domes are rounded vaults that can be made from curved masonry segments or a shell of revolution. Vaults are ceilings constructed from materials like brick, stone or concrete arranged in an arched manner. Common types of domes include hemispherical domes, geodesic domes, and onion domes. Elements of domes include features like coffering, pendentives, and lanterns. Vaults have been used since ancient times by civilizations like the Romans and Egyptians and include styles like barrel vaults and groin vaults.
Tensile structures
This document discusses tensile structures, which are buildings that rely on tension in their components like cables and fabrics to bear loads. Tensile structures include boundary tensioned membranes, pneumatic structures, and pre-stressed cable nets. They have been used since ancient times. Some key advantages are their lightweight nature, flexibility, recyclability, and unique designs. Common types include saddle roofs, mast-supported structures, arch-supported roofs, and combinations of support types. Fabric, hardware, and structural elements are described. The document concludes with a workshop model demonstrating tensile structure principles.
FALSE CEILING
Suspended ceilings are used to conceal structural features, pipes, ducts and provide acoustic and thermal insulation. Different types of grids are used including exposed, concealed and semi-concealed grids made of materials like metal, wood or gypsum board. Proper installation requires marking locations, installing perimeter trims and hangers before laying panels or tiles. Factors like fire resistance, lighting fixtures and sprinkler head clearance must be considered during installation and design of suspended ceilings.
Pneumatic structure
Pneumatic structures are buildings stabilized and supported by internal air pressure. They originated from ancient use of hot air balloons and were widely adopted in the 20th century for military shelters. There are two main types - air supported structures which use slightly pressurized air to support a single membrane envelope, and air inflated structures which use individual pressurized tubes or "pillows" to support a load-bearing membrane. Pneumatic structures are lightweight, economical, and can span large areas without columns. However, they require continuous operation of fans to maintain pressure and collapse if pressure is lost.
Dome and vault
This document discusses different types of domes and vaults used in architecture. It defines a dome as a rounded vault resembling half of a sphere, which can be supported by columns transitioning to the dome. The main types of domes discussed are geodesic, hemispherical, umbrella, onion, and oval domes. Geodesic domes use a network of triangles to create a self-bracing structure. Vaults are ceilings built on arch principles, with common types being barrel, groin, rib, and fan vaults. Barrel vaults are semi-circular, while groin vaults are formed by intersecting barrel vaults. Rib vaults use reinforcing ribs.

Ventilation Systems
Ventilation is the process of changing or replacing air in an indoor space to provide good indoor air quality. There are two main types of ventilation: natural ventilation which uses wind and stack effects, and mechanical ventilation which uses fans or other mechanical means. Natural ventilation has advantages of being simple and requiring no power, while mechanical ventilation can ensure consistent air changes and filter air. Proper ventilation is important for removing odors, carbon dioxide, heat, and other pollutants from indoor spaces.
Energy Efficient Ventilation System
This document outlines a case study of the Eastgate Centre in Harare, Zimbabwe, which utilizes a passive ventilation system inspired by termite mounds and cacti. The architect Mick Pearce designed the system to ventilate the building in a cost-effective way using natural airflow. It works by pulling night air into the building through low-power fans and vents, where it is cooled by passing through hollow shafts with "concrete teeth" that act as a thermal store. Warmed air rises and exits through funnels, maintaining a constant cool temperature throughout offices. The design also took biomimicry lessons from termite mounds' stable internal climate and cacti's needle layers for heat loss.

umaid bhawan palace jaipur rajasthan
Umaid Bhawan Palace in Jodhpur, India is one of the world's largest private residences. Construction began in 1929 during a period of drought and famine, providing employment to thousands of local people. The palace was built over 15 years using pink and cream colored stone from local quarries. Today, parts of the palace are operated as a hotel and museum, but the royal family still resides in some areas.
Vernacular architecture
Kerala architecture is one of the best examples of preserving vernacular styles. Traditional Kerala architecture is influenced by climate and available natural resources. The architecture features pitched roofs to protect from heavy rain, verandahs around buildings, and courtyards for ventilation. Common building materials include wood, laterite stone, clay, tiles, and palm leaves. The most prominent housing type is the Nalukettu, a courtyard house with four blocks around an open space. Temple architecture also has distinctive features like a central sanctum and surrounding cloisters.

DEEP LEARNING FOR SMART GRID INTRUSION DETECTION: A HYBRID CNN-LSTM-BASED MODEL
As digital technology becomes more deeply embedded in power systems, protecting the communication
networks of Smart Grids (SG) has emerged as a critical concern. Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3)
represents a multi-tiered application layer protocol extensively utilized in Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA)-based smart grids to facilitate real-time data gathering and control functionalities.
Robust Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are necessary for early threat detection and mitigation because
of the interconnection of these networks, which makes them vulnerable to a variety of cyberattacks. To
solve this issue, this paper develops a hybrid Deep Learning (DL) model specifically designed for intrusion
detection in smart grids. The proposed approach is a combination of the Convolutional Neural Network
(CNN) and the Long-Short-Term Memory algorithms (LSTM). We employed a recent intrusion detection
dataset (DNP3), which focuses on unauthorized commands and Denial of Service (DoS) cyberattacks, to
train and test our model. The results of our experiments show that our CNN-LSTM method is much better
at finding smart grid intrusions than other deep learning algorithms used for classification. In addition,
our proposed approach improves accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, achieving a high detection
accuracy rate of 99.50%.
Harnessing WebAssembly for Real-time Stateless Streaming Pipelines
Traditionally, dealing with real-time data pipelines has involved significant overhead, even for straightforward tasks like data transformation or masking. However, in this talk, we’ll venture into the dynamic realm of WebAssembly (WASM) and discover how it can revolutionize the creation of stateless streaming pipelines within a Kafka (Redpanda) broker. These pipelines are adept at managing low-latency, high-data-volume scenarios.

Advanced control scheme of doubly fed induction generator for wind turbine us...
This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.

Low power architecture of logic gates using adiabatic techniques
The growing significance of portable systems to limit power consumption in ultra-large-scale-integration chips of very high density, has recently led to rapid and inventive progresses in low-power design. The most effective technique is adiabatic logic circuit design in energy-efficient hardware. This paper presents two adiabatic approaches for the design of low power circuits, modified positive feedback adiabatic logic (modified PFAL) and the other is direct current diode based positive feedback adiabatic logic (DC-DB PFAL). Logic gates are the preliminary components in any digital circuit design. By improving the performance of basic gates, one can improvise the whole system performance. In this paper proposed circuit design of the low power architecture of OR/NOR, AND/NAND, and XOR/XNOR gates are presented using the said approaches and their results are analyzed for powerdissipation, delay, power-delay-product and rise time and compared with the other adiabatic techniques along with the conventional complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) designs reported in the literature. It has been found that the designs with DC-DB PFAL technique outperform with the percentage improvement of 65% for NOR gate and 7% for NAND gate and 34% for XNOR gate over the modified PFAL techniques at 10 MHz respectively.

- 2. INTRODUCTION • Membrane structures that are stabilized by pressure of compressed air. • Pressure difference between the enclosed space and the exterior are responsible for giving the building its shape and its stability. • The pressure should be uniformly distributed for structural integrity. • TYPES • Air Supported structures • Air inflated structures. • Hybrid structures.
- 3. AIR SUPPORTED STRUCTURES • They HAVE AIR HIGHER THAN THE ATMOSHPHERIC PRESSURE SUPPORTING THE ENVELOPE. • Air locks or revolving doors help to maintain the internal pressure.
- 4. UNITED STATES PAVILION Air Supported Structures • They have air higher than the atmospheric pressure supporting the envelope. • Air locks or revolving doors help to maintain the internal pressure. • Air must be constantly provided. • Life span of 20 – 25 years.
- 5. MODEL DETAILS • UNITED STATES PAVILION • The united states pavilion would be the world’s first air filled structure. • The architecture firm Davis Brody presented a design, which consisted of a 30story high. • Air filled pumpkin to serve as the roof of the pavilion. • The original idea was to project images and video to the inner surface. • The David Geiger was a brilliant man born in 1935. in Philadelphia,
- 7. HISTORY • THE CONCEPT OF PNEUMATIC STRUCTURES WERE DEVELOPED DURING THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE HOT AIR BALLONS. • DURING THE SECOND WORLD WAR, AFTER THE INVENTION OF NYLON THESE STRUCTURES WERE WIDELY USED IN MILI
- 8. Air pressure • The interior air pressure required for air-supported structures is not as much as most people expect and certainly not discernible when inside. • The amount of pressure required is a function of the weight of the material - and the building systems suspended on it (lighting, ventilation, etc.) - and wind pressure. Yet it only amounts to a small fraction of atmospheric pressure. • Internal pressure is commonly measured in inches of water, inAq, and varies fractionally from 0.3 inAq for minimal inflation to 3 inAq for maximum, with 1 inAq being a standard pressurization level for normal operating conditions. • In terms of the more common pounds per square inch, 1 inAq equates to a mere 0.037 psi (2.54 mBar, 254 Pa)
- 9. Materials:- • The materials used for air-supported structures are similar to those used in tensile structures, namely synthetic fabrics such as fibreglassand polyester. • In order to prevent deterioration from moisture and ultraviolet radiation, these materials are coated with polymers such as PVC and Teflon. • Depending on use and location, the structure may have inner linings made of lighter materials for insulation or acoustics. • Materials used in modern air supported structures are usually translucent, therefore the use of lighting system inside the structure is not required during the daytime
- 10. Advantages: • Can be engineered to attach to a pre-existing structure[5] • Considerably lower initial cost than conventional buildings • Lower operating costs due to simplicity of design (wholly air- supported structures only) • Easy and quick to set up, dismantle, and relocate (wholly air- supported structures only)[6] • Unobstructed open interior space, since there is no need for columns • Able to cover almost any project • Custom fabric colors and sizes, including translucent fabric, allowing natural sunlight in
- 11. Disadvantages: • Continuous operation of fans to maintain pressure, often requiring redundancy or emergency power supply. • Dome collapses when pressure lost or fabric compromised • Cannot reach the insulation values of hard-walled structures, increasing heating and cooling costs • Limited load-carrying capacity • Conventional buildings have longer lifespan
