Comparison-Based Optical Assessment of Hyperboloid and Ellipsoid Reflectors in a Beam-Down Solar Tower System With Linear Fresnel Heliostats

Meng Lin

Beam-down concentrating solar tower (BCST) is known for its merits in easy installation and maintenance as well as lower convection heat loss of the central receiver (CR) when comparing to a traditional concentrated solar tower system. A point-line-couplin ...

An analysis of the initiation of upward flashes from tall towers with particular reference to Gaisberg and Säntis Towers

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein, Aleksandr Smorgonskii

In this paper, we present an analysis of the lightning events preceding initiation of upward lightning flashes from the Gaisberg and the Santis Towers. It is found that the majority of upward lightning discharges from both towers are initiated without any ...

Modelling city-scale facade leaching of biocide by rainfall

David Andrew Barry, Luca Rossi, Sylvain Coutu

A methodology is presented for estimating, at the city scale, the amount of biocide released from facades during rain events. The methodology consists of two elements. First, leaching of a single facade is simulated using a two-region model, one region for ...

Wavelet transform on manifolds: old and new approaches

Pierre Vandergheynst

Given a two-dimensional smooth manifold M and a bijective pro jection p from M on a ﬁxed plane (or a subset of that plane), we explore systematically how a wavelet transform (WT) on M may be generated from a plane WT by the inverse projection. Examples whe ...

The continuous wavelet transform on conic sections

Pierre Vandergheynst, Iva Bogdanova Vandergheynst

We review the known construction of the continuous wavelet transform (CWT) on the two-sphere. Next we describe the construction of a CWT on the upper sheet of a two- sheeted hyperboloid, emphasizing the similarities between the two cases. Finally we give s ...

Wavelets on the two-sphere and other conic sections

Pierre Vandergheynst

We review the construction of the continuous wavelet transform (CWT) on the two-sphere by two methods, the group-theoretical approach and the geometrical method based on conformal invariance. Then we discuss the discretization of the spherical CWT, obtaini ...
