Many definitions have been formulated to represent nonactive power for distorted voltages and currents in electronic and electrical systems. Unfortunately, no single universally suitable representation has been accepted as a prototype for this power component. This paper defines a nonactive power multivector from the most advanced...

Este artículo analiza conceptos relacionados con el signo arquitectónico, y presenta una reflexión sobre aspectos semióticos del lenguaje visual de una de las obras de arte más importantes de la arquitectura en la dinastía Qing (S. XVIII): el Palacio Yuanying Guan (Vistas a un Mar distante). Se han utilizado conceptos y estructuras...

This paper presents a contextual use of the innovative drawing techniques that involved architecture and painting in the Qing court during the first half of the eighteenth century. At this point architectural linear perspective in painting (quadratura) and stage design had become common fields of experimentation for the Chinese and Jesuit...

During the late 18th century, European Jesuits built a labyrinth located within Western Mansions complex in the northeast of Yuanming Yuan Garden. The destination of the labyrinth was an open-air scenery designed with western illusionist techniques for the entertainment of the emperor Qianlong. This article analyses the design of the...

The control of solar radiation is a basic dimension of modern design in all different types of constructions. Many architects have recently observed that different phases of sustainable design require a set of calculations and simulations that are necessary as a new standard design.'e valuable contributions to the process of sustainable design...

La obra del hermano lego jesuita Giuseppe Castiglione (nombre chino, Lang Shining, 1688-1766), desarrollada en la China Qing, no fue suficientemente conocida sino hasta el siglo xx, y se ha investigado muy poco sobre su papel precursor de la primera mundialización artística. Su aproximación a China fue primordialmente de carácter apostólico,...

The analysis of the direct relationship of the terms "jesuit style" and "noster modus" (our way of proceeding), with the architectural theories of Humanism as a binder of what it is called Jesuit Architecture, it is also a fundamental part of this work. From this hypothesis, we used the typology of St. Louis of the French in Seville, as an...

La utilización de las ciencias exactas y el desarrollo de la tecnología de la información y de la comunicación (TIC) tiene un indudable impacto en la ingeniería del diseño y, más concretamente, en la nueva concepción del diseño. Esto nos obliga a pensar en la necesidad de cambios en el actual proceso de diseño debido a la influencia de estas...

Este artículo sostiene que la transmisión de la perspectiva lineal a China a través de los misioneros jesuitas a finales de la dinastía Ming y fundamentalmente, principios de la Qing, jugó un papel decisivo en el llamado proceso de inculturación. A través de la acción misional jesuítica, el desarrollo de la perspectiva lineal se relacionó...

Adverse impacts of industrial constructions have been central to debates on sustainable development and this issue is partly due to that the building sector is highly demanding in relation to energy efficiency. The future of an industrial building, given to its link with the production process, is also connected to the activity itself. In this...

El objetivo de este artículo es explorar la implementación de una reconstrucción real de imágenes en 3D utilizando el álgebra geométrica (AG). Con ello queremos mostrar la utilidad delAG para la representación de estructuras y el desarrollo de algoritmos para las aplicaciones de computer graphics, y especialmente para otras aplicaciones de...

Este artículo investiga las características de la concepción simbólica de la arquitectura en el panorama que surge de la crisis de la modernidad y evoluciona hasta nuestros días, así como los aspectos más significativos en relación con su comprensión semántica. Para ello aborda los conceptos relacionados con el signo y utiliza la Semiótica como...

In the field of building constructions, there is undeniably a growing need to optimize the energy systems which are a key target in new modern constructions and industrial buildings. In this sense, energy systems are being traced for the development of energy distribution networks that are increasingly smart, efficient, and sustainable. Modern...

El objetivo de este trabajo es repensar la estrategia para revitalizar los edificios industriales y transformarlos en fuentes de resiliencia, mejorando su vivencia como espacios. Nos centramos en La Fábrica de Vidrio La Trinidad de Sevilla y el estudio de su entorno físico y humano, imprescindible para desarrollar un acercamiento integral....

Since 1892, the electrical engineering scientific community has been seeking a power theory for interpreting the power flow within electric networks under non-sinusoidal conditions. Although many power theories have been proposed regarding non-sinusoidal operation, an adequate solution is yet to be found. Using the framework based on complex...

Sustainable smart buildings play an essential role in terms of more efficient energy. However, these buildings as electric loads are affected by an important distortion in the current and voltage waveforms caused by the increasing proliferation of nonlinear electronic devices. Overall, buildings all around the world consume a significant amount...

Since the massive scale of urban tourism (at the end of the 20th century), which caused an exponential increase of visitors to cities, the density of tourist activity in historic boroughs has come to cause strong tourist pressure on the grid and buildings of these spaces. Motivated by local policies, which promote tourist attraction and...

La innovación docente en la asignatura de Superficies Complejas tiene como línea fundamental de trabajo el desarrollo de la "Enseñanza basada en el Aprendizaje por Proyectos" (EBAP). Pretendemos el desarrollo y propuesta de aplicación de un nuevo sistema de evaluación: "Coevaluación Intergrupo" que haga partícipe al alumnado del proceso de...

Curved surfaces have not been thoroughly considered in radiative transfer analysis mainly due to the difficulties arising from the integration process and perhaps because of the lack of spatial vision of researchers. When dealing with them, application of the iterative method or direct calculation through integration does not provide with an...

Many architectural examples rank among masterpieces for its beautiful and harmonious use of solar radiation. However, their creation had to rely solely on intuition because they possessed a curvilinear nature. As the necessary tools required for evaluating shapes derived from the sphere or the circle were not available, such forms could not be...
