Interactive feedback tool for occupants based on a tuned building energy model

mortality forecasting based on lee-carter model

over the past decades a number of approaches have been applied for forecasting mortality. in 1992, a new method for long-run forecast of the level and age pattern of mortality was published by lee and carter. this method was welcomed by many authors so it was extended through a wider class of generalized, parametric and nonlinear model. this model represents one of the most influential recent d...

On Building an Interactive Alignment Tool†

Sequence comparison has wide applications to computer science, molecular biology, speech processing, and so on. In molecular biology, it is often used to reveal similarities among sequences, study gene regulation, or even infer evolutionary trees. This paper summarizes the techniques that are useful for building an interactive sequence alignment tool. In order to analyze very long DNA sequences...

Decentralized Evacuation System Based on Occupants Distribution and Building Information

Effective evacuation is critical for safety of occupants. The exiting evacuation systems lack flexibility and don’t consider the distribution of occupants. It is possible to direct occupants to danger areas or cause congestion in certain areas. In this paper, a decentralized evacuation system is proposed to compute the safest path in real time. The system is composed of fire detection sensors, ...

Autonomous Wireless Heat Energy Meter based on Piezoelectric Energy Harvester for Heat Energy Measurement in Building Complexes

This paper presents a platform for power autonomous wireless energy meter device using piezoelectric energy harvesters. This device can be mainly used for measuring the share of heat energy consumption in a fair manner in building complex with central heat energy system. In the suggested device, the piezoelectric energy harvester is also used as a flow-meter to reduce the power consumption of t...
