Situational awareness strategies are essential for the reliable and secure operation of the electric power grid which represents critical infrastructure in modern society. With the rise of converter-interfaced renewable generation and the consequent shift ...

In the present paper, we show, by means of numerical simulations, that electromagnetic field data obtained from the radiation of a return-stroke lightning discharge and measured over a short-duration time-window can be exploited to reconstruct the attenuat ...

Designing architectural façades that allow sufficient daylight to create visually comfortable and pleasant environments is a challenging aspect of building design. It requires accounting for visual comfort and discomfort glare risks and understanding the f ...

Lightning causes significant damage and casualties globally by directly striking humans and livestock, by igniting forest fires, and by inducing electrical surges in electronic infrastructure, airplanes, rockets, etc. Monitoring the evolution of thundersto ...

Soft Magnetic Composites (SMCs) have huge application potential in electrical devices. With the development of additive manufacturing (AM), the properties of SMCs can be boosted. It is therefore required an optimization algorithm to design SMCs considering ...

A computer-implemented video completion method is proposed for reconstructing a sparsely sampled video comprising sparsely sampled video frames comprising sparse sets of picture element intensity values. The method comprises: distributing the sparse sets o ...

Spatiotemporal features are integrated along motion trajectories. For example, when a central line is followed by pairs of flanking lines, two motion streams diverging from the center are perceived. The central line is rendered invisible by the subsequent ...

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 ...

The size of window openings is widely acknowledged as an important factor in our spatial perception. However, little is known about how the perception and preference of windows changes between countries, leaving a gap of knowledge regarding the applicabili ...

An electric vehicle (EV) charging method which considers the EVs heterogeneity, taking into account the absence of any information about future arrivals and departures, and of the amount of time any charging will take. The method further considers both swi ...

A simulation model and an experimental characterization of energy saving glazing transparent to mobile communication frequency up to 40 GHz is presented. A previous study showed that laser structured energy efficient windows with a frequency selective surf ...

In the Dial-a-Ride-Problem (DARP) a fleet of vehicles provides shared-ride services to users specifying their origin, destination, and preferred arrival time. Typically, the problem consists of finding minimum cost routes, satisfying operational constraint ...

Spinal cord injury (SCI) disrupts many essential sensorimotor and autonomic functions. Consequently, individuals with SCI can face decades with permanent disabilities. Advances in clinical management have decreased morbidity, but no clinical trial has yet ...

In the Dial-a-Ride-Problem (DARP) a fleet of vehicles provide shared-ride services to users specifying their origin, destination, and preferred arrival time. In the dynamic version of the DARP, some trips are booked in advance while others come in real-tim ...

Hierarchical porous structures have been gathering interest in different fields owing to their unique properties associated with their multi-scale features. The observation of natural materials brought new insights into the functionality of cellular materi ...

In chess, a series of moves is made until a delayed sparse feedback (win, loss) is issued, which makes it impossible to evaluate the value of a single move. There are powerful reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms, which can cope with these sequential dec ...

Heart rate variability (HRV) is non-invasive and commonly used for monitoring responses to training loads, fitness, or overreaching in athletes. Yet, the recording duration for aseries of RR-intervals varies from 1 to 15 min in the literature. The aim of t ...

Ordinary residential buildings dating from late nineteenth century and early twentieth century are an essential part of the European urban built environment. Today, it is important to address the comfort of residents through renovations improving the build ...

The complexity of evaluating chance constraints makes chance-constrained programming problem difficult to solve. One way to handle this complexity is by devising satisficing measures for the relevant uncertainties. This paper focuses on solving the stochas ...
