This paper describes a method to enhance the performance of a unification-style bottom-up chart parser by means of top-down filtering techniques. The filter developed consists of a syntactic module which prevents the construction of redundant edges in the chart by ensuring that a proposed edge in the chart can really be syntactically combined with neighboring edges later, and a semantic module ...

the recognition of human bioclimatic comfort in geographical area is an important factor for planning of ecotourism. climate is a very important component to identify natural landscape values. for better planning and management of landscape units such as recreational purposes, there is a need for emphasis on the visual aesthetic aspects, and also for understanding the climatic effects on recrea...

Abstract The developed system allows to measure the thermal conductivity of solid materials used as insulators in building bioclimatic houses on high Andean zones. A unidirectional heat flow model through a sample dimensions 4.0 cm x 4.2 1.35 has been considered. K-type thermocouples were temperature’s gradient. obtained values were: 0.97 Wm −1 °C for glass, 0.38 ignimbrite, 0.58 roof brick and...

An Energy Management System (EMS) that uses a Model Predictive Control (MPC) to manage the flow of microgrids is described in this work. The EMS integrates both wind speed and solar radiation predictors by using time series perform primary grid forecasts. At each sampling data measurement, power photovoltaic system turbine are predicted. Then, MPC algorithm those predictions obtain optimal flow...

Jakarta is one of the fastest growing areas in terms population. The city as capital Republic Indonesia has very rapid development and progress various fields sectors such social, economic, cultural political. Due to attractiveness Jakarta, it triggers urbanization which causes number density Jakarta's population continue increase every year. With population, need for housing also increases. Fl...

The use of bioclimatic indices could be a major step forward in the methodology of pollen forecasting. The basis for this proposal is that simple meteorological parameters do not reflect the global status of the atmosphere, but merely some static measurements. However, pollen dispersal is, above all, a dynamic phenomenon, and this fact should be reflected in the variables we used to explain it....

Start-of-season data are more and more used to qualify the land surface phenology trends in relation with climate variability and, more rarely, with human land management. In this paper, we compared the phenology of rangeland vs cropped land in the Sahel belt of Africa, using the only currently available global phenology product (MODIS MCD12Q2 – Land Cover Dynamics Yearly), and an enhanced crop...

Control chart techniques have been widely used in industries to monitor a process in quality improvement. Whenever we deal with variables data, we usually employ a combination of X-bar chart and R chart (or S chart) to monitor both the center and the spread of the process. In this paper, we propose a simple alternative, that is, we design a single chart to monitor both the center and the spread...

The relationship between biomimetics as a design strategy and architectural skin construction technique, both of these strategies can be implemented in building process to develop more sustainable project, now days there is pollution problem Mexico one the main causes waste generated by construction, addition, just few investors are interested application bioclimatic strategies, technologies ma...
