Cellular Automata Simulation of Three-dimensional Building Heat Loss
(International Building Performance Association (IBPSA), 2020-04-01)
Conventional design development and simulation methods provide a top-down approach towards exploration of design solutions. This research identifies this limitation and presents a bottom-up approach framework inspired by ...
Components of palliative care interventions addressing the needs of people with dementia living in long term care: a systematic review
(2020-04-01)
Background: People with dementia requiring palliative care havemultiple needs that require complex, multicomponent interventions. Thisneed is amplified in the long term care setting. The European Associationfor Palliative ...
A Simulation Method for Measuring Building Physics Properties
(International Building Performance Association (IBPSA), 2020-04-01)
Designing building energy performance with confidence requires accurate information on the properties of building materials and on assemblies of these materials.However, thermal properties of the building in use are rarely ...
Components reuse in the building sector – A systematic review
(2020-04)
Widespread reuse of building components can promote the circularity of materials in the building sector. However, the reuse ofbuilding components is not yet a mainstream practise. Although there have been several studies ...
Applications of ultrasonic testing and machine learning methods to predict the static & fatigue behavior of spot-welded joints
(2020-04)
Ultrasonic Testing (UT) is one of the well-known Non-Destructive Techniques (NDT) of spot-weld inspection in the advanced industries, especially in automotive industry. However, the relationship between the UT results and ...
Efficient Evidence-based Decision Fusion Scheme for Cooperative Spectrum Sensing in Cognitive Radio Networks
(2020-04-01)
In this article, an evidence based decision fusion cooperative spectrum sensing (CSS) schemes has been considered for overcoming the hidden terminal problem, improving reliability, and increasing SU agility. Under practical ...
Deficits in Spontaneous Cognition as an Early Marker of Alzheimer’s Disease
(2020-04)
In the absence of a pharmacological cure, finding the most sensitive early cognitive markers of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is becoming increasingly important. In this article we review evidence showing that brain mechanisms ...
Performance Analysis of Cell-Free Massive MIMO Systems: A Stochastic Geometry Approach
(2020-04)
Cell-free (CF) massive multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) has emerged as an alternative deployment for conventional cellular massive MIMO networks. As revealed by its name, this topology considers no cells, while a large ...
Reducing Simulation Performance Gap from Hempcrete Buildings Using Multi Objective Optimization
(International Building Performance Association (IBPSA), 2020-04-01)
Hempcrete is increasingly used as a construction material, as it provides stable temperature and relative humidity conditions in buildings. In addition to low energy operations, buildings built from hempcrete possess ...
