Building related data tends to be generated, used and retained in a domain-specific manner. The lack of interoperability between data domains in the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry inhibits the cross-domain use of data at an enterprise level. Semantic web technologies provide a possible solution to some of the noted interoperability issues. Traditional methods of infor...

Relatively little empirical research has analyzed the sources of students’ self-perceptions outside US and Europe, in new fields study like renewable energy. This paper aims at filling this gap by identifying differences self-efficacy levels post-graduate students Erasmus+ capacity-building programs on energy Argentinian Guatemalan universities. We a sample 43 to test intersectional self-effica...

The paper presents an approach that may enable the separation of the vibrations induced by underground traffic from the vibrations induced by other sources, based on Second Order Blind Identification (SOBI) algorithm. The signals recorded in different locations of an instrumented building are mixed signals from different internal and external vibration sources. The blind source separation algor...

the renewable energy sources and plug-in electric vehicles (pevs) are becoming very popular because of the combination of high fuel costs and concerns about emission issues. this paper presents modelling and control of a building integrated fuel cell and plug-in electric vehicles (bifc-pev) in smart distribution systems. in bifc-pev system, conventional building elements could be replaced by sp...

This qualitative study sought to answer the question: How do female agricultural education undergraduates describe their self-efficacy teach mechanics? In response, we conducted a case of majors (n=5) who enrolled in an Introduction Agricultural Mechanics course. After multiple rounds coding, three themes emerged: (1) Conflicting Perceptions Mechanics, (2) Confronting Challenges, and (3) Buildi...
