Daylighting Metrics: Is there a relation between Useful Daylight Illuminance and Daylight Glare Probabilty?

The establishment of climate-based daylight modeling within research and practice has led to a fundamental reassessment of both the basis and purpose of daylight metrics. Whilst there is no consensus yet on the precise nature of the metric(s) that should r ...

Application of Oxygen Eddy Correlation in Aquatic Systems

Alfred Johny Wüest

The eddy correlation technique is rapidly becoming an established method for resolving dissolved oxygen fluxes in natural aquatic systems. This direct and noninvasive determination of oxygen fluxes close to the sediment by simultaneously measuring the velo ...

Global climate response to anthropogenic aerosol indirect effects: Present day and year 2100

Athanasios Nenes

Aerosol indirect effects (AIE) are a principal source of uncertainty in future climate predictions. The present study investigates the equilibrium response of the climate system to present-day and future AIE using the general circulation model (GCM), Godda ...

Inferring the activities of smartphone users from context measurements using Bayesian inference and random utility models

Michel Bierlaire, Gunnar Flötteröd, Ricardo Daniel Hurtubia González

Abstract Smartphones collect a wealth of information about their users' environment and activities. This includes GPS (global positioning system) tracks and the MAC (media access control) addresses of devices around the user, and it can go as far as taking ...

The influence of local meteorological conditions on the circadian rhythm of corn (Zea mays L.) pollen emission

Marc Parlange

Field experiments were performed to study the diurnal cycle of corn pollen emission and its relation to local meteorological conditions, including temperature, relative humidity, solar radiation, mean wind speed, and turbulence quantities. Pollen concentra ...

An intuitive daylighting performance analysis and optimization approach

Marilyne Andersen, Magali Bodart

The effective integration of daylighting considerations into the design process requires many issues to be considered simultaneously, such as daily and seasonal variations, illumination, and thermal comfort. To address the need for early integration into t ...

A Discriminative Approach to Robust Visual Place Recognition

Barbara Caputo

An important competence for a mobile robot system is the ability to localize and perform context interpretation. This is required to perform basic navigation and to facilitate local specific services. Usually localization is performed based on a purely geo ...

Recognizing People's Focus of Attention from Head Poses: a Study

Jean-Marc Odobez, Silèye Oumar Ba

This paper presents a study on the recognition of the visual focus of attention (VFOA) of meeting participants based on their head pose. Contrary to previous studies on the topic, in our set-up, the potential VFOA of a person is not restricted to other mee ...

Elevated atmospheric boundary layer over the Swiss Alps during the August 2003 heat wave

Hubert van den Bergh, Bertrand Calpini, Valentin Simeonov, Marc Parlange, Ioan Balin

An unusual elevated atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) at altitudes of Lip to 5000 m was observed, using a combination of elastic and water vapor lidars, during a 10-day period in 2003. There was a persistent stationary anticyclonic regime over Western Europ ...

Link Weighting: An Important Basis for Charging in the Internet

Paul Hurley

Current charging mechanisms in the Internet are restricted mainly to volume and time of the day. We propose a mechanism which allows to use additional information for charging in the edges and core of the network. Links or network clouds will have weights ...
