TL;DR: In this paper, a printing process is described in which comprises directing droplets of an ink onto an intermediate transfer member to form an ink image, the ink including an organic polymeric resin and a coloring agent in an aqueous carrier, and the transfer member having a hydrophobic outer surface so that each ink droplet in the ink image spreads on impinging upon the intermediate transfer members to forming an ink film.

Optimal Grid Geometry of Diagrid Structures for Tall Buildings
TL;DR: In this paper, a diagrid structure of each storey height is designed with diagonals placed at various uniform angles as well as gradually changing angles along the building height in order to determine the optimal uniform angle for each structure with a different height and to investigate the structural potential of diagrids with changing angles.

Diagrid structures for tall buildings: case studies and design considerations
TL;DR: In this article, an overview on application of tubular structures to high-rise buildings is carried out; in particular, in the first part of the paper, the peculiarities of diagrid systems are described: starting from the analysis of the internal forces arising in the single diagris module due to vertical and horizontal loads, the resisting mechanism of diaggrid buildings under gravity and wind loads is described, and recent researches and studies dealing with the effect of geometry on the structural behavior are discussed.
