DeepValve: Development and experimental testing of a Reinforcement Learning control framework for occupant-centric heating in offices

Dolaana Khovalyg, Amirreza Heidari

Space heating controls in offices usually follow static schedules detached from actual occupancy, which results in energy waste by unnecessarily heating vacant offices. The uniqueness of stochastic occupancy profile and thermal response time of each office ...

Search for relativistic fractionally charged particles in space

Jian Wang, Zhirui Xu, Yi Zhang, Yi Wang, Siyuan Wang, Songmei Wu, Junqiu Liu, Johan Juul Chang, Cheng Zhao, Chiara Perrina, Jennifer Maria Frieden

More than a century after the performance of the oil drop experiment, the possible existence of fractionally charged particles (FCPs) still remains unsettled. The search for FCPs is crucial for some extensions of the Standard Model in particle physics. Mos ...

Intensifying space activity calls for increased scrutiny of risks

Romain Buchs

As the pace of space activities accelerates and societies become more reliant on space-based systems, the associated risks deserve more attention. Satellites form a critical infrastructure on which military, civil and commercial entities rely. The services ...

Invariant states in inclined layer convection. Part 1. Temporal transitions along dynamical connections between invariant states

Tobias Schneider, Florian Reetz

Thermal convection in an inclined layer between two parallel walls kept at different fixed temperatures is studied for fixed Prandtl number . Depending on the angle of inclination and the imposed temperature difference, the flow exhibits a large variety of ...

Window Size Effects on Subjective Impressions of Daylit Spaces: Indoor Studies at High Latitudes Using Virtual Reality

Marilyne Andersen, Jan Wienold, Kynthia Chamilothori

Daylight provision to the indoor space is affected by different building elements that cannot be fully controlled by the users, such as the window size of a space. The dimensions of the fenestration not only affect the lighting levels, but they also affect ...

Design and R&D for the DEMO Toroidal Field Coils Based on Nb3Sn React and Wind Method

Pierluigi Bruzzone, Boris Stepanov, Rainer Wesche, Kamil Sedlák

In 2013, the Swiss Plasma Center proposed a Toroidal Field (TF) layout for the DEMO-EUROfusion tokamak, based on a graded winding made of layers of Nb3Sn (react&wind) and NbTi conductors. The R&D effort led in 2015 to a full size prototype conductor tested ...

Depth: the Forgotten Dimension in Multisensory Research

Andrea Serino

The last quarter of a century has seen a dramatic rise of interest in the spatial constraints on multisensory integration. However, until recently, the majority of this research has investigated integration in the space directly in front of the observer. T ...

Advances in understanding hydration of Portland cement

Karen Scrivener

Progress in understanding hydration is summarized. Evidence supports the geochemistry dissolution theory as an explanation for the induction period, in preference to the inhibiting layer theory. The growth of C-S-H is the principal factor controlling the m ...

The wheelchair as a full-body tool extending the peripersonal space

Olaf Blanke, Andrea Serino, Elisa Canzoneri

Dedicated multisensory mechanisms in the brain represent peripersonal space (PPS), a limited portion of space immediately surrounding the body. Previous studies have illustrated the malleability of PPS representation through hand-object interaction, showin ...

Peripersonal space as the space of the bodily self

Olaf Blanke, Andrea Serino, Christian Pfeiffer

Bodily self-consciousness (BSC) refers to experience of one's self as located within an owned body (self-identification) and as occupying a specific location in space (self-location). BSC can be altered through multisensory stimulation, as in the Full Body ...

Dissociating effect of upper limb non-use and overuse on space and body representations

Andrea Serino, Michela Bassolino, Elisa Canzoneri

Accurate and updated representations of the space where the body acts, i.e. the peripersonal space (PPS), and the location and dimension of body parts (body representation, BR) are essential to perform actions. Because both PPS and BR are involved in motor ...

Combining proprioception and touch to compute spatial information

Elisa Canzoneri

Localising a tactile stimulus in egocentric space involves integrating information from skin receptors with proprioceptive inputs about body posture. We investigated whether body posture automatically influences tactile spatial judgements, even when it is ...

A Cartographic Turn? Bridging the Gap between Sciences and Technologies of the Inhabited Space

Jacques Lévy

Modern cartography, grounded in the Euclidean concept of space and the mathematization of its language, has laid the foundation of academic geography and promoted its epistemic emergence as a scientific discipline. Developments over the last decades and th ...
