Application of survey on energy consumption and occupancy in residential buildings. An experience in Southern Italy
(2018-08-01)
The aim of the study was to create and administer a questionnaire to collect data and obtain typical occupancy profiles of residential buildings. The survey was developed by considering previous experiences conducted in ...
Combination of RGB and Multispectral Imagery for Discrimination of Cabernet Sauvignon Grapevine Elements
(2013-06-19)
This paper proposes a sequential masking algorithm based on the K-means method that combines RGB and multispectral imagery for discrimination of Cabernet Sauvignon grapevine elements in unstructured natural environments, ...
SoC control for improved battery life and throughput performance under VST-TDMA
(IETIET, 02/09/2017)
Energy independence is a wireless device quality that demands the utmost exigency. Energy harvesting devices (EHD) alleviate the energy constraints demanded by these nodes and with the use of protocols, such as variable ...
Automatic semantic maps generation from lexical annotations
(03/15/2018)
The generation of semantic environment representations is still an open problem in robotics. Most of the current proposals are based on metric representations, and incorporate semantic information in a supervised fashion. ...
Particle-Filtering-Based State-of-Health Estimation and End-of-Life Prognosis for Lithium-Ion Batteries at Operation Temperature
(Annual Conference of the PHM Society 2016Annual Conference of the PHM Society 2016, 2016-08-15)
We present the implementation of a particle-filtering-based framework that estimates the State-of-Health (SOH) and predicts the End-of-Life (EOL) of Lithium-Ion batteries, efficiently incorporating variations of ambient ...
Assessing resilience to climate change in the US cities
(2012-03-09)
In the face of uncertainties associated with climate change, building adaptive capacity and resilience at the community level emerges as an essential and timely element of local planning. However, key social factors that ...
Comportamiento de soportes esbeltos de hormigón armado con fibras de acero sometidos a esfuerzos combinados de axil y carga lateral cíclica
(2012-10)
La ductilidad es un indicador de la capacidad de deformación en estructuras sometidas a esfuerzos combinados de axil y carga lateral cíclica. El elemento estructural sometido a estos esfuerzos debe ser capaz de absorber y ...
The balance store card for the design and validation instruments to measure the academic teacher's achievement and performance
(2012-12)
The evaluation of faculty work is critical for the university accreditation. Moreover, particularly sensitive to this related tendency of faculty work evaluation; it is necessary to go beyond the knowledge factor and ...
An Architecture for development of Ambient Assisted Living applications
(01/01/2011)
Advances in sensors, mobile and embedded devices have made possible patient monitoring and provided medical treatments and other assistance in health care. Aging populations will benefit from reduced costs and improved ...
Procedure for Selecting a Transmission Mode Dependent on the State-of-Charge and State-of-Health of a Lithium-ion Battery in Wireless Sensor Networks with Energy Harvesting Devices
(Proceedings of the Annual Conference of the PHM Society 2018Proceedings of the Annual Conference of the PHM Society 2018, 2018-09-24)
Diverse methods and considerations have been proposed to manage the available energy in an efficient manner in Wireless Sensor Networks. By incorporating Energy Harvesting Devices in these type of networks it is possible ...
