Q: Mapping a 2D space of 3D volumes to 1D space (a file) I have a two dimensional array of three dimensional volumes. This two dimensional array represents a top-down view of all of the three dimensional volumes.
I want to save this data to a file in such a way that I can retrieve it very quickly. My problem is that the two dimensional array may change size and shape; it's not always nice and square. This tends to leave unused sections and quite a lot of them.
My method of retrieval is currently using the volume-level 2D view to locate volumes that need to be loaded, but I am having difficulty coming up with a good data structure and storage technique. Most of the methods I have come across require the 2D view to be of the same length and width or depend on the length or the width.
It may be worthy to note that I want to avoid unused space in the file and that I also want good locality for the mapped points. When mapping points, it is pretty common to come up with a solution which works but produces odd relationships; {0, 0} must not map to anything but {0} and {1, 0} should be pretty close to {0} and not something like {34}.
How would you go about doing this in a space and time efficient manner?

A: I solved this a while back by implementing a few different space filling curves and using them to map and transform the upper dimensional data to the single dimension file. I found that a Hilbert curve worked perfectly.

A: So you are talking about just saving 2d slices of your model space right?
To be honest, I think the simplest and probably the best thing to do is just save everything.  It makes things very simple, and you can seek very easily to a specific spot in the file too.
Then, compress your file stream using zlib, or bz2, etc.  If you have a lot of zeros, it will compress very well.  When I start to do this, it sped up my HPC code quite a bit.
I can think of several more complicated things to do, but what are you really trying to achieve?  The compression will make it small, and it is nice to have a simple format.

Amanat al Asisema
Our office, Hisham Munir and Associates, designed the Civic Center master plan, and proposed a guideline to set the parameters for the individual building designs to share. For pedestrians, the idea of movement was incorporated using different colonnades. These colonnades are an integral part of the buildings, allowing for protected pedestrian movement and creating spacious courtyards that enhance the environment of activity, in addition to relating to the buildings' hierarchy. Parking and other infrastructures were incorporated into a semi basement.
The Civic Center project, by virtue of its function, housed the Governor's Office building, the Mayor's Office building, and all other city and state civic service office buildings, and had to be symbolic of the great city: BAGHDAD. As such, its design required a creative and inspirational point of view. The challenge was to create an innovative, sculptural form that could serve as a monumental symbol, representing the best of the city and its splendorous place in history.
The Mayor's Office Project Building
The project design of the Mayor's Office Building was the first building to be realized as a prototype in the context of the master plan and put forth in a competition. We won the first time, then others interfered. When the competition was redone, we won it again.
The site of the buildings within the Civic Center were not subject to city ordinance limiting height projections, as reflected in the two buildings we designed across street; the Reinsurance and Ministry of Commerce. The Mayor's Office Building was in a free open space that gave it the potential for creative features on all sides of the building.
Our challenge was to reflect and adhere to the advancements of technology, transforming materials and structure into sculptural form, thereby synthesizing the qualities of vernacular architecture with the modern pulse of the period. Thus, the building was reminiscent of Baghdad's alleys, featuring elements where the projections of upper floors and extended roofs supported climatic control and created shaded spaces.
Our design aimed to create a sculptural structure to symbolize authority and stature. This was further enhanced by creating a dramatic top floor that projected over and shaded the remaining structure and consisted of a double height floor with intricate sculptural corners reminiscent of the traditional Iraqi muqarnas.
The hierarchy of the Mayor's Office Building carries the formality, as well as the symbolic features, of the complex and the city. The grand plaza, where an entrance of grand height was intended, was moved to the side intentionally, to change the building's symmetry and to accentuate and emphasize the formalities of the main entrance in front of the building plaza for ceremonial purpose and for the receiving of dignitaries.
In its details, the building carries local motives, using traditional elements symbolic of the old alleys of Baghdad; shaded screens, traditional brick work, patterns on the walls and ceilings, pointed arches, the colonnade, and locally-made colored glazed tiles. These elements are integrated into the design work and extend inside. There, rich woodwork expresses traditional geometric patterns. All these features contribute to the unity of the design and environment.
The activities and services of the Mayor's Office were considered and distributed to different levels of the building, ranging from the basement to the seventh floor, according to their function. The ground floor, with its partial mezzanine, conforms to the directives and guidelines of spatial distribution, providing an auditorium for exhibitions and a facility for larger gatherings. The departments' functions occupied all seven floors, all of which were designed with an open office system to allow for flexibility and future changes, as needed. The design also features private offices for the heads of the departments. The Mayor's own office, the City Counsel, and Deputy Mayor's office, occupied the distinctive double-volume stories high on the eighth floor, and are further emphasized through their projection, shading the lower floors.
The Mayor's Office and the City Counsel and his deputies are both separated and connected through a vibrant private opening to the sky-framing courtyard. I chose to add this courtyard as a symbolic reminder for both the City Counsel and the Mayor, to inspire the love and respect of the City of Baghdad, within its whole context. I intended to keep alive a traditional element, but in a fresh modern way...high in the sky.
The cafeteria and the private dinning areas occupy a portion of the roof with a view of the immediate landscape and surroundings, creating an up-to-date version of an old Baghdad courtyard feature, an urban courtyard, going up the core of the building at various levels lined with full glazing, providing a light source and creating a continuous line of vision from one wall across to the other.
Brick, being a traditional building material, and the basis for the majority of architecture in Baghdad and throughout Iraq, was used extensively. The bricks were locally-made with colored glazed tiles in turquoise and other colors. Wood patterned screens were also used. With the addition of new materials, which were indicative of that period of time, the total entity of the sculptured building forms a dynamic which is reminiscent of Baghdad. These elements, combined, feature projections, recesses, shades, and shadows, complimented by modern technology, materials, and structural expression.
The building's details also reflect modern interpretations of iconic architectural features of Baghdad and Iraq, including shanasheel, intricate brick work, and arcades. Ceramic screens provide a modern interpretation of the wood work used in traditional shanasheel, and intricate sculptural forms are reminiscent of traditional muqarnas. The integrated colonnade in the Mayor's office, and the use of dimensional depth to create needed shades and shadows, accommodate the climactic needs of the building and provide protection for the citizens. In this way, the Mayor's office building is a sculpture reminiscent of historic Baghdad's extended roofs and shanasheel, which have projected to create shade, shadows and terraces that enhance climatic and environmental controls.
The building, by virtue of its choice in material and attention to climactic and environmental controls, is a unique sculptural form in the Urban Cultural scene of Baghdad.
Construction of the building was implemented in stages. The period between design and the building's completion in 1983 was eight years. The contractor was a local government contractor. The entire built area totals to 29,000 square meters. Although the building has had no further maintenance, photos of the building taken in 2014 show the building in nearly perfect condition, due to our proper attention to detail and continuous supervision.

Daniel Ramirez Sues Samsung After Exploding Galaxy Edge S7 Causes 3rd Degree Burns
Daniel Ramirez was referred to a Samsung service center in Laredo, Texas for repairs on his Galaxy Edge S7. The phone burst into flames during the repair and he sustained 3rd degree burns to his legs, hands and chest that required multiple surgeries. After being denied compensation by Samsung through insurance policies, Mr. Ramirez filed suit against them alleging negligence resulting in bodily harm.
A man in California is suing Samsung after his Galaxy S7 Edge exploded and caused 3rd degree burns. Daniel Ramirez alleges that the phone was defective when it was bought at a Best Buy store. Read more in detail here: samsung s7 release date.
(PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT THIS POST CONTAINS GRAPHIC IMAGES.)
Daniel Ramirez was working as a construction worker in an Ohio bookshop when his Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge caught fire in his pocket, suffering second and third-degree burns.
The event happened on May 30th, three months before Samsung issued a recall for 2.5 million Galaxy Note 7 phones due to a battery problem that might cause fires.
On behalf of Mr. Ramirez, ClassAction.com lawyers have filed a product liability case against Samsung, marking the first time a lawsuit has been brought over a Galaxy smartphone battery fire.

Despite the fact that Samsung has not yet issued a recall for the S7 Edge, we are urging the business to address the safety of the S7 Edge batteries in light of the tragic injuries caused by at least one of their phones.
Anyone whose Samsung smartphone caught fire and caused burns is encouraged to request a free case evaluation.
The Samsung Complaint may be seen here.
FAA Issues Recall Due to Battery Fires
On Friday, September 2nd, Samsung recalled its flagship smartphone, the Galaxy Note 7, in 10 countries, including the United States, barely two weeks after it was released.
The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) strongly warned travelers not to use, charge, or even store Galaxy Note 7 phones on domestic flights on Thursday, September 8. Australian and Singaporean airlines have gone even farther, prohibiting passengers from using or charging their phones while in flight.
Samsung conducted an internal study after receiving hundreds of reports of phones catching fire, which uncovered a battery problem that affects around 1 in 42,000 handsets.
"I got home from work and placed [the Note 7] on charge for a few minutes before class. When I went to wear it around my waist, it caught fire."
At a press conference, Koh Dong-in, president of Samsung's mobile division, said, "There was a little fault in the production process, so it was really tough to find out."
Although no injuries have been recorded as a result of the Note 7 battery fires, social media users have shared near calls.
According to the Associated Press, a 34-year-old South Korean teacher published her experience and a photo of her charred phone on a popular online forum, stating, "If the exploding phone had burned near my head, I would not have been able to make this post." Her burnt phone was said to have emitted toxic fumes throughout the room.
According to Yonhap News in Korea, there were five reports of the Note 7 exploding while charging within the first week of its release.
In the United States, Note 7 owner Ariel Gonzalez shared a YouTube video of his scorched and melted phone, warning other users to "Be careful out there." Gonzalez says he "I got home from work and placed [the Note 7] on charge for a few minutes before class. When I went to wear it around my waist, it caught fire."
The injury to Daniel Ramirez should prompt a closer examination of the S7 Edge.
While owners of the Galaxy Note 7 have been spared significant harm due to battery fires, Daniel Ramirez of the Galaxy S7 Edge has not been so fortunate.
Ramirez, a resident of Tracy, California, acquired his Galaxy S7 Edge on March 11, 2016, at a Best Buy shop in Modesto, California. As part of his employment with National Property Solutions Group, he was in Akron, Ohio, for a building project (NPSG).
Ramirez started work on May 30, 2016, with his S7 Edge in his right front pocket, according to a lawsuit complaint filed by ClassAction.com lawyers. He heard his phone whistling, screaming, and vibrating, as well as flames pouring from his pocket, not long after.
Ramirez's right hand was burned when he reached into his pocket to retrieve the phone. While remaining in his trousers pocket, the S7 Edge burst and caught fire, melting his boxer shorts and jeans to his leg, leaving him with second and third-degree burns. He has serious and irreversible burn injuries to his crotch, legs, and lower back, which necessitated major skin transplant surgery and would need ongoing physical therapy.
The Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge is a smartphone from Samsung.
Mr. Ramirez has had many skin transplants.
The recalled Galaxy Note 7 and Galaxy S7 Edge have just minor cosmetic variations. According to the website Android Authority, the Galaxy Note 7 features a 3,500 mAh battery, compared to the S7 Edge's 3,600 mAh battery.
The damaged Note 7 battery is made by Samsung's SDI business, according to the company. ClassAction.com has contacted Samsung to see whether the bigger battery in the S7 Edge is likewise manufactured by Samsung SDI.
In recent years, lithium ion batteries, like as those used in Galaxy phones, have been the focus of debate. Power supplies, which power everything from computers to phones to automobiles and aircraft, have been linked to fires and explosions involving Dell laptops, Boeing passenger flights, Tesla vehicles, hoverboards, and electronic cigarettes.
In the wake of the Samsung Galaxy recall, ClassAction.com is seeking damages.
Samsung has announced that users of the Galaxy Note 7 may exchange their damaged phone for a Samsung Galaxy S7 or Galaxy S7 Edge as part of the recall. However, Ramirez's injuries indicate that this is similar to switching one exploding phone for another.
As word of Mr. Ramirez's tragic injuries spreads, ClassAction.com expects Samsung to address the safety of its S7 Edge batteries in the coming days. We're particularly curious whether the same production issue that caused the Note 7 battery explosions also affects the S7 Edge. If this is the case, an extended Galaxy recall should be announced right now to protect consumers from additional danger.
Please fill out a case review form to report a Samsung Galaxy that has caught fire and to learn about your legal alternatives.

Exploration Underway at Pilbara-Style Gold Target in Nunavut
August 15, 2018 – Silver Range Resources Ltd. (TSX-V:SNG) ("Silver Range") announces that exploration is underway on its Tree River Property in western Nunavut. A geological crew began work in early August to verify the extent and tenor of known mineralization and to locate new mineralization along strike within the favourable host-rock unit. Work at Tree River and on the peripheral targets will be completed by the end of August and results are expected early in the fall.
The mineralization at Tree River bears striking similarity to that found in gold-bearing Archean conglomerates in the Pilbara region of western Australia and the Witwatersrand in South Africa. At Tree River, gold is hosted in quartz pebble conglomerate (QPC) overlying mafic volcanics at the base of an Archean greenstone succession. The QPC has a local mapped strike length of 4.8 km and is from 15 to 20 m thick. The conglomerate is grain supported with pyrite and carbonaceous matter in the matrix. Pyrite is ubiquitous ranging from a background of 1-2% to from 5-25% in lenses within the conglomerate. Arsenopyrite, stibnite and sphalerite are reported to occur with pyrite. The QPC is particularly enriched in gold with background values in excess of 100 ppb Au, numerous grab samples in excess of 1 g/t Au and local occurrences of high grade gold returning grab samples up to 142 g/t Au and channel samples up to 0.35 m @ 63.15 g/t Au. The host conglomerate is dated between 2,940 and 2,700 Ma based on detrital zircons in proximal sediments, placing it in the favourable time window for the "Great Gold Deposition Event" (Q. Hennigh, 2016). A summary of the Tree River Project is available on Silver Range's website at www.silverrangeresources.com/projects/nunavut/tree-river/.
Information including analytical results cited in this news release were extracted from assessment reports filed with the Nunavut Mining Recorder and cannot be independently verified by Silver Range. Technical information in this news release has been approved by Mike Power, M.Sc., P.Geo., President and CEO of Silver Range Resources Ltd. and a Qualified Person for the purposes of National Instrument 43-101.
Silver Range is a precious metals prospect generator working in Nunavut, Nevada and the Northwest Territories. The company is actively seeking joint venture partners to explore the assets in its portfolio.
