Novel, photoluminescent and translucent construction elements are considered for application on buildings’ envelope toward energy savings avant-garde architectural expression. These allow natural light to pass through the charge materials, which their turn re-emit as visible light. By exploiting intrinsic characteristics of these large amounts could be saved in lighting applications. This work ...

A metadata model is proposed to represent security configuration and management information. This model can be used to aid dynamic security management and configuration. The exchange of security information within the context of a social interaction and policing model can promote improved safety and security. An application of the model to manage message exchange using a secure message envelope...

The key role of the building envelope in attaining building energy efficiency and satisfactory indoor comfort has long been established. Nevertheless, until recent times, all efforts and attention have mainly been focused on increasing and optimizing the thermal insulation of the envelope components. This strategy was a winning approach for a long time, but its limitations became obvious when u...

Dynamic control of chaotic dark dissipative envelope solitons in a microwave active ring resona tor containing two nonlinear elements: one-dimensional magnonic crystal (MC) with dynamic linear defect and transistor amplifier is performed. Dissipative are formed on long-wavelength surface magnetostatic wave propagating the MC parametrically decaying into short-wavelength spin waves. A constant e...

data envelope analysis (dea) is an approach to estimate the relative efficiency of decision making units (dmus). several studies were conducted in order to prioritize efficient units and some useful models such as cross-efficiency matrix (cem) were presented.  besides, a number of dea models with interval data have been developed and ranking dmus with such data was solved. however, presenting a...

Dynamic repositioning of telomeres is a unique feature of meiotic prophase I that is highly conserved among eukaryotes. At least in fission yeast it was shown to be required for proper alignment and recombination of homologous chromosomes. On entry into meiosis telomeres attach to the nuclear envelope and transiently cluster at a limited area to form a chromosomal bouquet. Telomere clustering i...

This paper discusses the methodology for selecting a set of relevant nonstationary features to increase the specificity of the obstructive sleep apnea detector. Dynamic features are extracted from time-evolving spectral representation of photoplethysmography envelope recordings. In this regard, a time-evolving version of the standard linear multivariate decomposition is discussed to perform sto...
