## Abstract This paper, presented in three parts, discusses a computational methodology for formβfinding of tension membrane structures (TMS), or fabric structures, used as roofing forms. The term βformβfindingβ describes a process of finding the shape of a TMS under its initial tension. Such a sha
Computer algebra systems often have to deal with piecewise continuous functions. These are, for example, the absolute value function, signum, piecewise defined functions but also functions that are the supremum or infimum of two functions. We present a new algebraic approach to these types of proble
The ecological significance of photoadaptation and photoacclimation is at best inferential . This is attributed to two factors : 1) The dimensions of light absorption by multicellular tissues are inadequately described by theory, which is confounded by the interaction of polychromatic light fields w
