Space frame structures have gained popularity over the last 50 years as they allow for large open interior spaces with minimal obstructions. They are constructed using linear frame elements connected at joints to transfer loads efficiently in three dimensions. Space frames were independently developed in the early 1900s by Alexander Graham Bell and Buckminster Fuller in the 1950s, with Fuller having more influence in popularizing their architectural use. The key advantages of space frames are that they are light, structurally efficient, economical for covering large spans, and allow integrated services.

Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.

NUMERICAL SIMULATIONS OF HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER IN CONDENSING HEAT EXCHANGERS...ssuser7dcef0
Power plants release a large amount of water vapor into the
atmosphere through the stack. The flue gas can be a potential
source for obtaining much needed cooling water for a power
plant. If a power plant could recover and reuse a portion of this
moisture, it could reduce its total cooling water intake
requirement. One of the most practical way to recover water
from flue gas is to use a condensing heat exchanger. The power
plant could also recover latent heat due to condensation as well
as sensible heat due to lowering the flue gas exit temperature.
Additionally, harmful acids released from the stack can be
reduced in a condensing heat exchanger by acid condensation. reduced in a condensing heat exchanger by acid condensation.
Condensation of vapors in flue gas is a complicated
phenomenon since heat and mass transfer of water vapor and
various acids simultaneously occur in the presence of noncondensable
gases such as nitrogen and oxygen. Design of a
condenser depends on the knowledge and understanding of the
heat and mass transfer processes. A computer program for
numerical simulations of water (H2O) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4)
condensation in a flue gas condensing heat exchanger was
developed using MATLAB. Governing equations based on
mass and energy balances for the system were derived to
predict variables such as flue gas exit temperature, cooling
water outlet temperature, mole fraction and condensation rates
of water and sulfuric acid vapors. The equations were solved
using an iterative solution technique with calculations of heat
and mass transfer coefficients and physical properties.

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.

Abstract— over the last half-century, there is a growing
interest in the space frame structures. The need for a structure
to accommodate large unobstructed areas resulted in the
development of space frame structures. Also it satisfies the
requirements of lightness, economy and speedy construction.
There was significant progress in its development due to its
great structural potential and visual beauty.
I. INTRODUCTION
Many extraordinary projects have been designed and
constructed all overthe world using a variety of configurations.
The need for large indoor space for public interaction, human
activities is one of the reason. Therefore, sport tournaments,
cultural performances, mass assemblies, and exhibitions could
be held under one roof by means of space frames. There is also
demand for a space that has minimum interference from internal
supports.
They are highly statically indeterminate, but due to its
complicated analysis, it is been limited. The space frame has
large number of members connected togetherat different angles
at a single point. But due to several connecting methods, it has
greater efficiency.
Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor of the telephone,was one
of the first to appreciate the merits of space frames and apply
them in actual construction. In fact, he built one of the early
versions of a flying machine using a multi-layered space frame
concept. Also due to its lightness and structural efficiency that
would add as an advantage in aircraft structures than in
buildings.
II. HISTORY
Space frames were independently developed by Alexander
Graham Bell around 1900 and Buckminster Fuller in the 1950s.
Bell's interest was primarily in using themto make rigid frames
for nautical and aeronautical engineering, with the tetrahedral
truss being one of his inventions. However few of his designs
were realized. Buckminster Fuller's focus
was architectural structures; his work had greater influence.
Introduction ofthe first space grid systemcalled MERO in 1943
in Germany initiated the use of space trusses in architecture.
III. DEFINING SPACE FRAME STRUCTURES
A Space frame is a structural system, assembled of linear
elements so arranged that the loads are transferred in a three-
dimensional manner. In some cases, the constituent elements
may be two-dimensional. Macroscopically, a space frame often
takes the form of a flat or curved surface.
A space frame is usually arranged in an array of single, double,
or multiple layers of intersecting members. A single-layer space
frame that has the form of a curved surface is termed as braced
vault, braced dome, or latticed shell.
Figure 1: Grid pattern
A. Basic concept
The space frame can be formed on either a flat or a curved
surface. The earliest form is single-layer grid, which is formed
by adding intermediate grids and including rigid connection to
the joist and girder framing system. The main characteristic of
grid construction is the omnidirectional spread of the load as
opposed to the linear transfer of the load in an ordinary framing
system.Since such load transferis mainly by bending,for larger
spans the bending stiffness is increased most efficiently by
changing to a double-layer system. The load transfer
mechanism of a curved surface space frame is essentially
different from the grid systemthat is primarily membrane-like
action.

The space frames are light, structural efficient and use materials
optimally. They are an elegant and economical means of
covering large column-free spaces of hangars and assembly
halls. They carry loads by three-dimensional action. Deflections
are small because ofthe high inherent stiffness.Space frame are
joined using precise, factory-made components, unskilled
labour is adequate for their assembly and action. Services such
as lighting and air conditioning can be integrated with space
frames. Also these save construction time. They are light which
facilitates transportation. Dead loads are very much less and
there are consequent savings in columns and substructures.
V. COMPONENTS OF A SPACE FRAME
A space frame consists ofaxial members, which are preferably
tubes, also known as circular hollow sections or rectangular
hollow sections and connectors, which join the members
together.
Figure 2: different connections
A. Members
The members of a space frame are either of aluminium or steel.
Aluminium members are of light weight but are more
expensive. The large majority of space frames use members of
steel with a yield strength ranging from 210 to 450 MPa. The
tubes may be electrically resistance welded or seamless.
B. Node connectors
Figure 3: Mero
C. Mero
The Mero connector, introduced some 50 years ago, proved to
be extremely popular and has been used for numerous
temporary and permanent buildings. Its joint consists ofa node
that is a spherical hot-pressed steel forging with flat facets and
tapped holes. Members are circular hollow sections with cone-
shaped steel forgings welded at the ends, which accommodate
connecting bolts. Upto 18 members can be connected at a joint
with no eccentricity.
VI. DIFFERENT TYPES OF SPACE FRAMES
A. Flat covers
These spatial structures are composed of planar substructures.
Their behaviour is similar to that of a plate in which the
deflections in the plane are channeled through the horizontal
bars and the shear forces are supported by the diagonals.
B. Barrel vaults
This type of vault has a cross section of a simple arch. Usually
this type of space frame does not need to use tetrahedral
modules or pyramids as a part of its backing.
3. 3
C. Spherical domes
Usually require the use of tetrahedral modules or pyramids and
additional support froma skin.
Figure 4: Plane covers
Figure 5: Barrel vault
Figure 6: Spherical dome
VII. DIFFERENT TYPESOF SPACE FRAMES ACCORDING TO THE
NUMBER OF LAYERS
A. Single layer
All elements are located on the surface to be approximated.
B. Double layer
The elements are organized in two parallel layers with each
otherat a certain distance apart.Each of the layers form a lattice
of triangles, squares or hexagons in which the projection of the
nodes in a layer may overlap or be displaced relative to each
other. The diagonal bars connecting the nodes of both layers in
different directions in space.
C. Triple layer
Elements are placed in three parallel layers, linked by the
diagonals. They are almost always flat.
VIII. TYPES OF ERECTION
A. Scaffold method
Individual elements are assembled in place at actual elevations
Members and joints or prefab subassembly elements are
assembled on their final position. Full scaffoldings usually.
Sometimes partial scaffolding are used if cantilever erection.
Elements fabricated at the shop.Transported to the construction
site, and no heavy lifting equipment is required.
B. Block assembly method
Divided on its plan into individual strips or blocks. These units
fabricated on the ground level. Then hoisted upon into its final
position and assembled on the temporary supports.Suitable for
double layer grids.
C. Lift up method
The whole space frame is assembled at the ground level so that
most of the work can be done before hoisting. Increased
efficiency and better quality.
