Building the Clinical Bridge: An Australian Success

Nursing effectiveness science includes primary, secondary, and translational, clinically focused research activities which aim to improve patient or client outcomes. It is imperative, for the successful conduct of a program of nursing effectiveness science, that a clinical bridge is established between academic and healthcare service facilities. An Australian example of the development of a rob...

Building fast proxies for optimization of thermal reservoir simulation

With decreasing amounts of conventional energy resources available, production of unconventional oil and gas has become an important new source of energy. Steamassisted gravity drainage (SAGD) is a widely used process, allowing the production of very heavy oils. The numerical simulation of SAGD, however, is complex and highly CPU/time intensive. Moreover, the economical cost of this process is ...

Thermal Building Simulation and Computer Generation of Nodal Models

The designer's preoccupation to reduce the energy needs and get a better thermal quality of ambiances helped in the development of several packages simulating the dynamic behaviour of buildings. This paper shows the adaptation of a method of thermal analysis, the nodal analysis, linked to the case of building's thermal behaviour. We take successively an interest in the case of conduction into a...

A Matlab-based Simulation Tool for Building Thermal Performance Analysis

This paper presents the development of a simulation tool based on the Matlab computational environment for building temperature performance analysis with automatic control. The simulation tool contains mathematical models for buildings, HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) systems, sensors, weather data and control algorithms. The building mathematical model is described in terms of...
