Benefits of Continuous Descent Operations in High-Density Terminal Airspace Considering Scheduling Constraints

Maryam Kamgarpour

This study estimates the potential benefits of continuous descents for more than 480,000 flights to 25 major airports in the National Airspace System. While reduced fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions are expected for these procedures, the benefi ...

Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells

Ulf Anders Hagfeldt

A review on dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs). Some brief notes on solar energy in general and DSC in particular are given, followed by a discussion of the operational principles of DSC (energetics and kinetics). Then, the development of material component ...

Application of Out-Of-Language Detection To Spoken-Term Detection

Petr Motlicek, Fabio Valente

This paper investigates the detection of English spoken terms in a conversational multi-language scenario. The speech is processed using a large vocabulary continuous speech recognition system. The recognition output is represented in the form of word reco ...

Detecting queues at vending machines: a statistical layered approach

Jean-Marc Odobez

This paper presents a method for monitoring activities at a ticket vending machine in a video-surveillance context. Rather than relying on the output of a tracking module, which is prone to errors, the events are direclty recognized from image measurements ...

Modelling Complex Fenestration Systems

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Anothai Thanachareonkit

Complex Fenestration Systems (CFS) are widely studied to help redirecting daylight into a room in order to optimise its luminous properties. Daylighting designers and researchers usually employ physical and virtual models to assess their daylighting perfor ...

Microfabrique

Irène Verettas

Since 1990 in Japan and the last years in Europe, the concept of small assembly lines called Microfactories is under investigation. The main goal of this thesis is to establish a methodology for a quick setup of a miniature and modular assembly line. This ...

Comparing daylighting performance assessment of buildings in scale models and test modules

Marilyne Andersen, Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Anothai Thanachareonkit

Physical models are commonly used to assess daylighting performance of buildings using sky simulators for purpose of research as well as practice. Recent studies have pointed out the general tendency of scale model assessments to overestimate the performan ...
