Commercial buildings account for much of the energy use both in the United States and globally. The role of occupant behavior within the physical building has been found to be an important factor in the overall energy use profile of commercial buildings. R ...
Understanding brain diseases can benefit from studying network organization of functional connectivity (FC) during resting state. Here we study the local topological properties of FC in minimally-disabled multiple sclerosis (MS) patients by comparison of t ...
The ability to recognize errors is crucial for efficient behavior. Numerous studies have identified electrophysiological correlates of error recognition in the human brain (error-related potentials, ErrPs). Consequently, it has been proposed to use these s ...
Humans largely guide their behavior by their visual representation of the world. Recent studies have shown that visual information can trigger behavior within 150 msec, suggesting that visually guided responses to external events, in fact, precede consciou ...
Individual behavioral performance during learning is known to be affected by modulatory factors, such as stress and motivation, and by genetic predispositions that influence sensitivity to these factors. Despite numerous studies, no integrative framework i ...
Over the past years many corporate business leaders have started to shift their strategy from a pure profit seeking one towards a balance in simultaneously striving to achieve economic, environmental and social goals (Elkington 1998; Preuss 2007; Roth 2009 ...
This chapter addresses the issue of the development of indicators aimed at providing a measurement base with both breadth and depth from which research in the "economics of knowledge" can benefit. While initial attempts at quantification in the area of the ...
This paper addresses CAAD from an organizational point of view. We employ recent developments in organizational economics to model the organizational processes in building design. Based on an analysis of (i) the cost of transferring knowledge, and (ii) age ...

The integrated synusial approach of the vegetation is based on the differentiation of several spatio-temporal organization levels. A phytocoenosis (community of the second level) is considered as a complex of synusiae (communities of the first level) and i ...
We examine the apparent disorder which seems to characterize the spatial structure of soil moisture by analyzing large-scale experimental data. Specifically, we address the statistical structure of soil moisture fields under different scales of observation ...
