While experiential qualities of rectangular architectural spaces can be effectively predicted from their proportions and area (Franz, von der Heyde, & Bülthoff, 2003), these factors obviously cannot be directly transferred on open-plan indoor spaces. We introduce an approach that relates experiential qualities of arbitrarily shaped architectural spaces to their spatial form using isovists (Bene...

In addition to reference measurement procedures and reference materials, reference or calibration laboratories play an integral role in the implementation of measurement traceability in routine laboratories. They provide results of measurements using higher-order methods, e.g. isotope dilution mass spectrometry and may assign values to materials to be used for external quality assessment progra...

Recent progress in biomedical sensing technologies has resulted in the development of several novel sensor products and new applications. Modern biomedical sensors developed with advanced microfabrication and signal processing techniques are becoming inexpensive, accurate, and reliable. A broad range of sensing mechanisms has significantly increased the number of possible target measurands that...

Much software research and practice involves ostensible measurements of software, yet little progress has been made on a metrological foundation like the International System of Units (SI) for those measurements since the work of Gray, Hogan, et al. in 1996–2001. Given a physical object, one can determine physical properties using measurement principles and express measured values using standar...

This paper describes the feasibility of developing a novel polypyrrole (PPy) potentiometric sensor. Conductive PPy-based polymers has been grown through a textile scaffold to create a flexible and robust sensing structure that can survive environments such as soil, with the choice of the scaffold materials offering control of the environmental impact. Further work has demonstrated that doped PP...

In Kalman filter design, the algorithm and prediction model design are most discussed topics in research. Another fundamental but less investigated issue is careful selection of measurands their contribution to estimation problem. This often done purely on basis empirical values or by experiments. paper presents a novel holistic method assess filters an automated way perform analysis based quan...

A hypothesis is presented that electronic and vibrational resonant energy states are important in biochemical reactions due to their coupling to hydrogen transfer reactions. The hypothesis is based upon (1) the involvement of hydrogen in most biochemical reactions, (2) the unique abiity of hydrogen to act as an energy trap for resonant energy and (3) demonstrations of the coupling of resonant e...
