This work presents the first worst-case execution times (WCET) analysis of MPEG-decoding. Solutions for two scenarios (Video-on-Demand (VoD), live) are presented, serving as examples for a variety of real-world applications. A significant reduction of overestimations (down to 17%, including overhead) during WCET analysis of the live scenario can be achieved by using our new two-phase decoder wi...

Activated carbon (AC) has been widely used in indoor air quality (IAQ) control for removal of hazardous volatile organic compounds (VOCs). A detrimental effect of this adsorption technology is that bacteria multiplied on AC may deteriorate IAQ. In this paper, antibacterial AC nanocomposites with welldispersed silver nanoparticles (Ag/ACs) were prepared by the attachment of Agþ on the functional...

Abstract During the pandemic of Covid-19, ventilation rate buildings and especially in spaces with high occupancy like classrooms, presents research interest. The strategies, combined use masks, contribute to decrease infection risk Covid-19. Also, improves Indoor Air Quality (IAQ), contributing good health users potentially influences their thermal comfort. In proposed work, experimental inves...

Humans spend more than 80% of their lives indoors resulting in an increased demand for high indoor air quality (IAQ). At the same time, tends to be at least twice as polluted outdoor air, and health threats caused by long-term exposure pollution are rising. Few experiments under real-life conditions have demonstrated positive effects plants on parameters related IAQ, improved humidity temperatu...

The evolution of low-cost sensors (LCSs) has made the spatio-temporal mapping indoor air quality (IAQ) possible in real-time but availability a diverse set LCSs make their selection challenging. Converting individual into sensing network requires knowledge research disciplines, which we aim to bring together by making IAQ an advanced feature smart homes. this review is discuss home automation t...
