The AI Settlement Generation Challenge in Minecraft : First Year Report
(2020-03-01)
This article outlines what we learned from the first year of the AI Settlement Generation Competition in Minecraft, a competition about producing AI programs that can generate interesting settlements in Minecraft for an ...
Electrowetting-Based Digital Microfluidics Platform for Automated Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay
(2020-02-23)
Electrowetting is the effect by which the contact angle of a droplet exposed to a surface charge is modified. Electrowetting-on-dielectric (EWOD) exploits the dielectric properties of thin insulator films to enhance the ...
Robust energy disaggregation using appliance-specific temporal contextual information
(2020-02-11)
An extension of the baseline non-intrusive load monitoring approach for energy disaggregation using temporal contextual information is presented in this paper. In detail, the proposed approach uses a two-stage disaggregation ...
Design recommendations for stainless steel I-sections under concentrated transverse loading
(2020-02-01)
Recent investigations have highlighted the need for improved provisions for determining the resistance of stainless steel I-sections under concentrated transverse loading. Such provisions, which reflect the particular ...
Effect of frictional boundary conditions and percentage area reduction on the extrusion pressure of Aluminum AA6063 alloy using FE analysis modelling
(2020-01-21)
Finite Element Analysis was carried out to describe the effect of frictional boundary conditions and percentage reduction on deformation modelling (forward extrusion) of Aluminum AA6063 alloy. Curved die profiles of regular ...
Energy Disaggregation Using Elastic Matching Algorithms
(2020-01-06)
In this article an energy disaggregation architecture using elastic matching algorithms is presented. The architecture uses a database of reference energy consumption signatures and compares them with incoming energy ...
An Efficient Synthesis and Photoelectric Properties of Green Carbon Quantum Dots with High Fluorescent Quantum Yield
(2020-01-01)
To greatly improve the production quality and efficiency of carbon quantum dots (CQDs), and provide a new approach for the large-scale production of high-quality CQDs, green carbon quantum dots (g-CQDs) with high product ...
Effect of cellulosic filler loading on mechanical and thermal properties of date palm seed/vinyl ester composites
(2019-12-27)
There are numerous better applications of fibre reinforced polymer composites today, when compared with metals and alloys. Many studies have been conducted to further improve the inherent mechanical and thermal properties ...
Design Patterns to Build Large Resilient and Predictable Systems
(IEEE, 2019-12-09)
Building large resilient and computer systems can be challenging, especially when temporal predictability is also required. Large resilient systems are typically composed of different networking technologies, for example, ...
A numerical study on the influence of internal corrugated reinforcements on the biaxial bending collapse of thin-walled beams
(2019-11-01)
The Heat Treatment Forming and in-die Quench (HFQ) process allows for manufacturing of more complex geometries from Aluminium sheets than ever before, which can be exploited in lightweight automotive and aerospace structures. ...
