The profound impact of daylight on occupants is broadly recognized in the fields of architecture and lighting. In particular, the façade and its interplay with light is a central design element, while the diversity of daylight in space is widely acknowledg ...
Database systems access memory either sequentially or randomly. Contrary to sequential access and despite the extensive efforts of
computer architects, compiler writers, and system builders, random access to data larger than the processor cache has been s ...
Classification methods from machine learning are receiving a lot of attention in the transportation modelling community. This is motivated by the access to large databases, and to various success stories reported in this research community. Discrete choice ...
The vehicle sharing systems (VSSs) are becoming more and more popular due to both economic and environmental effects. However, these systems mainly focus on two specific types of vehicles: bicycles and cars. Recently, some other types of vehicles (e.g. lig ...
Snapping of a slender structure is utilized in a wide range of natural and manmade systems, mostly to achieve rapid movement without relying on musclelike elements. Although several mechanisms for elastic energy storage and rapid release have been studied ...
The common placement of thermostats in offices might not reflect the actual thermal environment around occupants and influence the energy use. In this research, it is questioned which type of thermostat at which location better represents the conditions in ...
This paper performs a comprehensive and comparative evaluation of the state of the art local features for the task of image based 3D reconstruction. The evaluated local features cover the recently developed ones by using powerful machine learning technique ...
This paper presents new optimization approaches aiming at reducing the impact of memory accesses on the performance of dataflow programs. The approach is based on introducing a high level management of composite data types in dynamic dataflow programming l ...
BackgroundTo assist people with disabilities, exoskeletons must be provided with human-robot interfaces and smart algorithms capable to identify the user's movement intentions. Surface electromyographic (sEMG) signals could be suitable for this purpose, bu ...
Energy efficiency remains a challenge for the design of non-volatile resistive memories (ReRAMs) arrays. This memory technology suffers from intrinsic variability in switching speed, programming voltages and resistance levels. The programming conditions of ...
