"IMPACTS OF BUILDING FUNCTION ON NORMALIZED-STEAM CONSUMPTION: ANALYSIS OF FLOOR AREA NORMALIZATION VERSUS LINEAR REGRESSION ON HEATING DEGREE-DAYS IN A HEATING-DOMINATED CLIMATE."

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Linear regression analysis is one the most common methods for weather-normalizing energy data, where energy versus degree-days is plotted, quantifying the impacts of outside temperature on buildings’ energy use. However, this approach solely considers dry-bulb temperature, while other climate variables are ignored. In addition, depending on buildings’ internal loads, weather impact can be less influential, making the linear regression method not applicable for energy data normalization in internally driven buildings (such as research laboratory buildings, healthcare facilities, etc.).

Abstract:

Many cities in the Philippines are situated near fault systems that can generate large magnitude of earthquakes. This paper describes the development of a city seismic response analysis approach for Metro Manila’s low- to mid-rise RC structures using frame models which are generated from GIS feature or BIM data. To create the three-dimensional (3D) models, features and structural details from BIM are used. Finite element method was used to discretize the models with mesh of line elements. Validations of generated models were conducted by comparing the results with those obtained using solid fi

Abstract:

In this paper, we introduce a new theoretical scheme for evaluating the performance of backoff algorithms focusing on multiple types of wall and floor material such as: concrete, wood, glass and brick. The proposed scheme is an extension and combination between Bianchi and Multi-wall-floor model, by applying discrete Markov chain theorem. In addition, we also propose two backoff algorithms which can improve the saturated throughput efficiency of IEEE802.11 wireless local area network (WLAN). The proposed backoff algorithms are called Binary Exponential Increment Half Decrement backoff algorith

Abstract:

This paper proposes a new idea about damping of suspended floor in huge frame constructions. Experimental program and physical models were made, and then a lot of vibration tests by controlling acceleration and amplitude were taken respectively. The result shows that suspended floor has damping effect in a certain area and the damping degree is related to acceleration and amplitude. It also illustrates that changing frequency has more remarkable effect than changing amplitude.

Abstract:

The value of land is determined by the locations’ attractiveness and the degree of direct land use regulation. When regulations are binding, e.g., when a restriction on the maximum floor area ratio exists, the land price can be directly expressed as a function of the maximum floor area ratio and local amenities. We show theoretically and empirically how this approach can be used to determine land values from rental prices of residential structures built upon that land. From our empirical results, we derive two main sources for a monocentric structure of land prices. First, the location attract

With the measurements on the seating area only, the main seat-dip frequency is found to depend on the seat back rest height, and on the degree of obstruction of the seat underpass.

The wave has been studied and observed in electromagnetics and acoustics but this paper is the first report of the “direct wave root” in marine seismology. Theoretically, an expression for the “direct wave root” can be obtained from a branch line integral in the complex ray parameter plane for the transmission problem

Discordant relationships between laminae and layers indicate a consistent younging direction upwards towards the contact with the overlying magnetitite.

Abstract:

Sinus floor augmentation operations with calcium phosphate materials are performed when natural maxillary bone quality and quantity fail to be able to support titanium dental implants. Sinus floor augmentation can be done in one step operation when titanium implant is inserted at the same time when calcium phosphate materials. This type surgery can be done if there is enough maxillary alveolar bone height to stabilize the implant. If there is not enough bone then two step maxillary floor augmentation is performed when dental implant is placed after few months. Calcium phosphate materials are o

Abstract:

A new species of planorbid gastropod, Vorticifex taylori, is described from the Late Miocene (Clarendonian) Truckee Formation at its type area in Churchill County, Nevada. Comparison with younger and older species assigned to Vorticifex indicates a high degree of morphologic variation within the genus as contrasted with relatively conservative intraspecific variation, which may reflect ecologic similarities at discrete times during the development of the Great Basin subprovince of the Basin and Range physiographic province.

Abstract:

Energy saving has become one of the foremost priorities in the European Union and a great deal of attention is directed towards the sector of sustainable building. However, the EU members that have an extensive Soviet heritage now face a great difficulty in reducing energy consumption. Since many apartment buildings are in especially poor thermal condition, and the heat supply infrastructure is morally and physically outdated, energy consumption for heating is significant. The modernization (renovation) of such old buildings is impeded not only by legal and technical factors, but also financia

Abstract:

As a widely used ground-based optical instrument, the LAI-2000 or LAI-2200 plant canopy analyzer (PCA) (Li-Cor, Inc., Lincoln, NE) is designed to measure the plant effective leaf area index (Le) by measuring the canopy gap fraction at several limited or discrete view zenith angles (VZAs) (usually five VZAs: 7, 23, 38, 53, and 68°) based on Miller’s equation. Miller’s equation requires the probability of radiative transmission through the canopy to be measured over the hemisphere, i.e., VZAs in the range from 0 to 90°. However, the PCA view angle ranges are confined to several limited ranges or

Broadly, the tenant placement strategy could be divided into two core strategies, dispersion strategy and departmentalization strategy.

Abstract:

Depth information is necessary for adjusting the hand to the three-dimensional (3-D) shape of an object to grasp it. The transformation of visual information into appropriate distal motor commands is critically dependent on the anterior intraparietal area (AIP) and the ventral premotor cortex (area F5), particularly the F5p sector. Recent studies have demonstrated that both AIP and the F5a sector of the ventral premotor cortex contain neurons that respond selectively to disparity-defined 3-D shape. To investigate the neural coding of 3-D shape and the behavioral role of 3-D shape-selective neu

AbstractWe analyze residential architecture and domestic artifacts as expressions of wealth, prestige, and social class at three Aztec-period settlements in Morelos, Mexico: Capilco, Cuexcomate, and Yautepec. House size, as expressed in both floor area and construction volume, shows a strongly bimodal distribution that we interpret as marking elite and commoner residences. We test this interpretation with two artifactual indices of household wealth. One is designed to maximize the elite-commoner distinction in each setting, but is not directly comparable among contexts. The other is a simpler

Environment monitoring showed that the special construction of foundation resulted in the humid micro-environment and moisture damage near wall bottom and floor in buildings. In order to make clear the effects of ventilation on reducing moisture damage, we took Tishun Tang as example and built a two-dimensional hygrothermal simulation model.

We have evaluated time series observations of measured pCO2 and total CO2 concentration from discrete seawater samples during 1985–2008 for changes in response to increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide. The surface pH in winter decreases 0.0024 yr−1, which is 50% faster than those at two subtropical time series stations, BATS and ESTOC. In the deep water regime (>1500 m), the rate of pH decline is ¼ of that observed in surface wate

To constrain sediment chronology, we collected 173 discrete paleomagnetic 8 cm3 cubes and 15 radiocarbon samples from six sections across the island.

The digital task accomplishment consisted in the statistic verification of errors of the models determined by neural networks and by the accomplishment of adjustment tasks.
