Abstract:
In complex traffic environments, collision warning systems that rely only on in-vehicle sensors are limited in accuracy and range. Vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communication systems, however, offer more robust information exchange, and thus, warnings. In this study, V2I was used to analyze side-collision warning models at non-signalized intersections: A novel time-delay side-collision warning model was developed according to the motion compensation principle. This novel time-delay model was compared with and verified against a traditional side-collision warning model. Using a V2I-oriented s

Accurate fault prognosis is of vital importance for condition-based maintenance.

The innovation of this article is to extend classical hidden semi-Markov models by modeling the observation as a linear mixture of non-Gaussian multi-sensor signals.

Abstract:
AbstractThe global Anticipated Energy Transition Period (AETP) is one that all stakeholders must embrace with respect to curbing energy poverty, thereby addressing issues related to climate change especially in the sub-Saharan region of Africa. The region is endowed with abundant richer, cleaner, and affordable energy sources, majority of which has remained untapped due to many reasons, one of which is tied to the socio-cultural traditional beliefs and value systems of the citizens. This has forced majority of the inhabitants to continue to rely on the use of non-biodegradable materials for the purpose of cooking and many other activities. This value system, therefore, contributes to have had an adverse effect on the climate and also on the health of the citizens most of whom are women and children residing in rural areas. The outlook on the AETP, their effect on climate change, the use of Clean Energy Technology (CET) domestically, the various strata expected to come with the AETP, the socio-cultural dynamics in terms of acceptability by all (rural, peri-urban, and urban areas) is addressed in this chapter. The chapter concluded by designing a CET model that could assist in planning for the AETP and mitigating climate change.

Key developments pertain to, for example, the change from a state-dominated ideology to a steering philosophy with many market elements, finding a new balance between supply and demand, international developments and demographic developments. The landscapes have changed significantly with the emergence of non-state providers, a reconfiguration of “traditional” institutions (universities, academies, institutes) and also a growth in the public sectors of higher education.

Abstract:
Abstract Unlike traditional successional theory, Alternate Stable Equilibrium (ASE) theory posits that more than one community state is possible in a single environment, depending on the order that species arrive. ASE theory is often invoked in management situations where initial stressors have been removed, but native-dominated communities are not returning to degraded areas. Fundamental to this theory is the assumption that equilibria are maintained by positive feedbacks between colonizers and their environment. While ASE has been relatively well studied in aquatic ecosystems, more complex terrestrial systems offer multiple challenges, including species interactions across trophic levels that can lead to multiple feedbacks. Here, we discuss ASE theory as it applies to terrestrial, invaded ecosystems, and detail a case study from Hawai'i that exemplifies how species interactions can favour the persistence of invaders, and how an understanding of interactions and feedbacks can be used to guide management. Our system includes intact native-dominated mesic forest and areas cleared for pasture, planted with non-native grasses, and later planted with a monoculture of a native nitrogen-fixing tree in an effort to restore forests. We discuss interactions between birds, understorey fruiting native species, understorey non-native grasses, soils and bryophytes in separate feedback mechanisms, and explain our efforts to identify which of these feedbacks is most important to address in a management context. Finally, we suggest that using models can help overcome some of the challenges that terrestrial ecosystems pose when studying ASE.

Abstract:
AbstractSubaerial biofilm (SAB) formation on cultural heritage objects is often considered an undesirable process in which microorganisms and their by-products, e.g., enzymes and pigments, cause damage or alteration to a surface. Since biofilms are widespread phenomena, there has been a high demand for preventive and control strategies that resist their formation or reduce their negative effects once formed. Up to date, the main strategy to control biofilms has been the use of biocides. Because of their intrinsic properties, biocidal products can pose risks to humans, animals, and the environment. In this chapter, the authors call “green” only those alternative strategies to biocides able to prevent/control biofilms but that do not kill microorganisms, i.e., irrespective of the use of natural compounds. Here, we describe some of the methods that are most commonly used to test the effectiveness of antibiofilm compounds with multiple-species biofilm model systems. A unified terminology and well described protocols and guidelines are still required to compare and test the effectiveness of traditional or novel compounds against biofilms retrieved on heritage surfaces.

Abstract:
AbstractMany scholars have wondered if a non-Western theory of international politics founded on different premises, be it from Asia or from the “Global South,” could release international relations from the grip of a Western, “Westphalian” model in which self-interest (and opposition to the other) and system anarchy treat conflict and violence as natural and ethical behavior among states. As part of the emergent literature in Global International Relations, this monograph suggests that a Buddhist approach to international relations could provide a genuine alternative. Because of its distinctive philosophical positions and its unique understanding of reality, human nature, and political behavior, a Buddhist theory of IR offers a means for transcending the Westphalian predicament. This chapter situates a Buddhist approach to international relations within the sweep of traditional and recent international relations theory. It then outlines the subsequent chapters of the monograph that address the philosophical foundations of Buddhist IR; Buddha’s ideas about politics, economics, and statecraft; and the manifestations of Buddhist political principles in practice, one ancient and one modern, that illustrate this alternative approach.

Abstract:
There are a number of traditional models designed to segment customers, however none of them have the ability to establish non-strict customer segments. One crucial area that can meet this requirement is known as soft computing. Although there have been studies related to the usage of soft computing techniques for segmentation, they are not based on the effective two-stage methodology. The aim of this study is to propose a two-stage segmentation model based on soft computing using the purchasing behaviours of customers in a data mining framework and to make a comparison of the proposed model with a traditional two-stage segmentation model. Segmentation was performed via neuro-fuzzy two stage-clustering approach for a secondary data set, which included more than 300,000 unique customer records, from a UK retail company. The findings indicated that the model provided stronger insights and has greater managerial implications in comparison with the traditional two-stage method with respect to six segmentation effectiveness indicators.

Abstract:
Cloud computing is a new paradigm that promises to move IT a step further towards utility computing, in which computing services are delivered as a utility service. Traditionally, Cloud employs dedicated resources located in one or more data centres in order to provide services to clients. Desktop Cloud computing is a new type of Cloud computing that aims at providing Cloud capabilities at low or no cost. Desktop Clouds harness non dedicated and idle resources in order to provide Cloud services. However, the nature of such resources can be problematic because they are prone to failure at any time without prior notice. This research focuses on the resource allocation mechanism in Desktop Clouds.The contributions of this chapter are threefold. Firstly, it defines and explains Desktop Clouds by comparing them with both Traditional Clouds and Desktop Grids. Secondly, the paper discusses various research issues in Desktop Clouds. Thirdly, it proposes a resource allocation model that is able to handle node failures.

Abstract:
This chapter describes that in recent decades, international architecture has used complex geometric systems and experimented widely with building form in an attempt to integrate new concepts and technological tools into spatial exploration. These design processes put forward non-linear multiplicity as an alternative to traditional design methods. The forms and spaces conceived arise out of design approaches whose results are more characteristic of the process itself than of the adoption of compositional categories (order, type, element) or functional-rational categories (system, typology, structure). Parametric design is an algorithmic mathematical technique that enables the user to alter determined characteristics of the model at any point in the process without having to recalculate other characteristics that would be affected by such changes. Dynamic generative systems are a vehicle for thought that can be modified and interrelated over time. Their principles are closer to dynamic performance, contextual adaptability and interface and open processes than to the definition of simple finished objects

As a result, nanofluids have higher thermal conductivity and single-phase heat transfer coefficients than their base fluids. In particular, the heat transfer coefficient increases appear to go beyond the mere thermal-conductivity effect, and cannot be predicted by traditional pure-fluid correlations such as Dittus-Boelter’s.

Abstract:
Sublimation vapor transport method is a widely used technique for production of bulk crystals, such as SiC and AlN. A one-step reaction with two vapor species, i.e. aluminum (Al) vapor and nitrogen (N2) gas, is usually assumed for AlN sublimation growth with diffusion-controlled growth mechanism. However, vapor species generation/consumption is determined by surface reactions, which do not depend on the concentration gradient, but on concentration itself. Thus, the flux at the interfaces is controlled not only by the Fick’s law, but by the surface reaction. In this paper, inductively heated Al

Abstract:
The objective of this work is to present the implementation of a contact model that represents, during a nonlinear dynamic analysis of floating offshore systems, the contact of lines with the platform, as well as the contact involving different lines and, eventually, involving two different platforms in the same model. Traditional contact models consider for instance a generalized scalar element, consisting of two nodes linked by a non-linear gap spring. In this work, the contact model is geometrically defined by volumes that cannot interpenetrate. A penetration stiffness can be defined for ea

Abstract:
As computer models become more powerful and popular, the complexity of input and output data raises new computational challenges. One of the key difficulties for model validation is to evaluate the quality of a computer model with multivariate, highly correlated and non-normal data, the direct application of traditional validation approaches does not appear to be suitable. This paper proposes a stochastic method to validate the dynamic systems. Firstly, a dimension reduction utilizing kernel principal component analysis (KPCA) is used to improve the computational efficiency. A probability mode

Abstract:
In the area of black-box identication, NARMAX models are of great interest. The main diculty faced when working with such models is the selection of the correct structure to represent the underlying system in the data. Orthogonal Least Squares (OLS) methods are widely used for this task, however, there are systems with a high degree of non-linearity and long term dependencies, which makes the use of traditional OLS methods computationally impracticable. In this sense, this paper studies the use of Multi-Gene Genetic Programing (MGGP) together with the traditional OLS method to increase the sea

Bisphosphonate use has expanded beyond traditional applications, such as the prevention of osteoporosis, into non-traditional pediatric low bone mass diseases including osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) [1]. Despite enthusiasm, some questions remain on the overall effectiveness and implications of long-term treatment. In the Brtl/+ mouse model for OI, bisphosphonate treatment improves bone size, but bending strength fails to increase to proportionate levels and bones remain brittle [2]. Complications associated with long-term bisphosphonate treatment have been noted in other systems [3,4] leading t

Abstract:
Traditionally, corroded pipelines with metal loss defects have been repaired by replacing the defective areas with metallic pipe segments or by welding on metallic sleeves. Considering the technical and economic advantages of composite materials, literature shows that these defects can be repaired or reinforced with a composite sleeve system. In these systems, epoxy filler is used to fill the corrosion defect followed by wrapping the piping segment with concentric coils of composite material. However several challenges need to be met to obtain the desired repair quality. The major consideratio

Arranging micro-structured equipment to plants whole production processes can be realized with maximum efficiency in tightest space. Unit operations are thereby represented as individual functional modules in shape of micro devices. In a multi unit operation plant a correspondingly large number of manipulable variables have to be coordinated. Due to the design of micro-scaled devices plants form sophisticated systems, while for a fully optimized control still no common satisfying solutions exist.

Abstract:
The layer of non-impregnated aramid fibers is widely used in the containment systems of aircraft gas turbine engines. Such systems are found to be especially cost-effective and light weight for mitigating engine debris during a fan blade-out event. This is mostly because non-impregnated aramid fibers have a high strength per unit weight. Moreover, it is inexpensive to manufacture such a containment system compared to traditional metallic systems. To properly utilize this advantage, it is necessary to have a finite element (FE) analysis modeling methodology for daily design tasks. Non-impregnat

Abstract:
This rapid review focusses on whether there is international evidence on the role of non-partisan elections as a form of decentralised local government that improves performance of local government. The review provides examples of this from Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. There are two reported examples in Sub-Saharan Africa of non-partisan elections that delink candidates from political parties during election campaigns. The use of non-partisan elections to improve performance and democratic accountability at the level of government is not common, for example, in southern Africa all local
