Abstract The increasing use of ground-source heat pumps (GSHPs) for heating and cooling buildings raises questions regarding the technical potential GSHPs their impact on temperature in shallow subsurface. In this paper, we develop a method using Machine Learning to estimate GSHPs, which enables such an estimation Switzerland with limited data computational resources. A training dataset is cons...

the entanglement between a ?-type three-level atom and its spontaneous emission fields is investigated. the effect of spontaneously generated coherence (sgc) on entanglement between the atom and its spontaneous emission fields is then discussed. we find that in the presence of sgc the entanglement between the atom and its spontaneous emission fields is completely phase dependent, while in absen...

the use of multilateral well is becoming an emerging method to improve oil recovery efficiently and to drain reservoirs more efficacious. by developing drilling technology, completing the oil wells as multilateral wells become more interesting especially from economic point of view. on the other hand, lack of any means for forecasting the performance of this type of wells causes drilling of the...

background: little is known about the influence of habitual participation in physical exercise and diet on upper-extremity physical function in older adults. to assess the relationship of general physical exercise and diet to upper-extremity physical function and pain intensity in older adults.   methods: a cohort of 111 patients 50 or older completed a sociodemographic survey, the rapid assess...

abstract in order to evaluate the influence of nitrogen application and duration of weed interference on corn (zea mays l.) yield and yield components, a field study was conducted in 2004 at the ferdowsi university of mashhad research field. the experimental design was a randomized complete block with a factorial treatment arrangement replicated three times. nitrogen fertilizer was applied at r...

Flexible optical sensors have been an emerging paradigm for applications in robotics, healthcare, and human–machine interfaces due to their high sensitivity, fast response, anti-electromagnetic interference. Recently, Marques reports a bioinspired multifunctional flexible sensor (BioMFOS), achieving forces sensitivity of 13.28 μN, spatial resolution 0.02 mm. The BioMFOS has small dimension (aro...

In this paper a novel scheduling model based on resource contention called the interference paradigm is presented. Using this paradigm, a range of scheduling policy options can be expressed. A simulation study of several interference-based scheduling policies in a NOW environment suggests that this approach can produce reduced completion time and high job throughput for a sequential and paralle...

Surface electromyography holds great potential in helping patients recover from injuries that result in motor impairments. To be able to assist the patient, the clinician must consider research obtained from the study of implicit/ explicit learning, contextual interference, and basic learning theory. Quantitative surface electromyography (QSEMG) is a technique that is constructed around this ba...
