This paper presents a methodology to approximate the urban heat island effect by using a PostgreSQL database and CitySim software, a simulation tool to evaluate urban energy flows. A ground temperature model has been developed for shallow depths (until 4m) ...
Three global datasets, the History Database of the Global Environment (HYDE), Kaplan and Krumhardt (KK) and Pongratz of reconstructed anthropogenic land cover change (ALCC) were introduced and compared in this paper. The HYDE dataset was reconstructed by G ...
Computing statistical measures for large databases of time series is a fundamental primitive for querying and mining time-series data [1]–[6]. This primitive is gaining importance with the increasing number and rapid growth of time series databases. In thi ...
At the time of this writing, the main means of control for polyarticulated self-powered hand prostheses is surface electromyography (sEMG). In the clinical setting, data collected from two electrodes are used to guide the hand movements selecting among a f ...
In recent years we are experiencing a dramatic increase in the amount of available time-series data. Primary sources of time-series data are sensor networks, medical monitoring, financial applications, news feeds and social networking applications. Availab ...
