Research NotesOpen accessEvery word in the titleNew Research Perspectives on Thermostatted Kinetic ModelsCarlo BiancaThis paper presents the new research directions that can be followed in the modeling of complex living systems by means of the tools of the thermostatted kinetic theory. The main aim is to invite the researchers that work in the field of applied mathematics to contribute to further developments of the theory with particular attention to applications in biology, crowds … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 9 Jun 2015 · 6,658 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleObject Oriented Modeling of Thermostatically Controlled Devices for Cold Load Pick-upAlexandre de Assis Mota, Lia Toledo Moreira Mota, Claudia Cotrim PezzutoProblem statement: During service restoration, the power level at buses can significantly differ from the one presented under steady-state conditions, demanding an amount of electric power significantly higher than the normal load. Hence, their post-outage behavior must be adequately forecasted in order to permit the development of reliable restoration plans, or to avoid inadequate actions that may lead to a … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 25 Feb 2011 · 6,847 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDYNAMIC ENERGY MODELING OF AN EXPERIMENTAL BUILDING EQUIPPED WITH AN UNDERFLOOR AIR DISTRIBUTION (UFAD) SYSTEMYao Yu, Ahmed Cherif MegriIn this study, experimental and simulation studies were performed in a building equipped with an UFAD system in order to investigate the applicability of a new approach designed for prediction of the energy consumption of a residential building with an UFAD system. In this approach, a zonal model, Pressurized zOnal Model with the Air diffuser (POMA), was coupled with a … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 14 Mar 2014 · 8,136 accessesView PDF Cite

Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntegrating Data Mining Methods Across all Domains of a Smart CityRushit Dave, Nuo Xu, Simon Arneberg et al.As modern cities continue to develop, smart devices are being used to improve citizens’ lives. As these devices become more sophisticated, the amount of information that they collect increases. A Smart City is a city that uses a large amount of generated data to constantly improve the services offered to the people that live there. Data mining techniques can be … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 18, Issue 5 · 30 May 2022 · 7,075 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLOW-COST STRATEGIES TO SAVE ENERGY IN K-12 SCHOOLSNabil Nassif, Raymond C. Tesiero III, Harmohindar Singh, K. M. FlurchickAdvanced Energy Management Control Systems (EMCS) offer an excellent means of reducing energy consumption in Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems while maintaining and improving indoor environmental conditions. This can be achieved through the use of computational intelligence and optimization with a building automation system and multiple sensors, which can be quite expensive. However, energy awareness and proper scheduling … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 17 Mar 2014 · 8,157 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImprovement on the Design of a Cabinet Grain DryerAdzimah K. Stephen, Seckley EmmanuelProblem statement: Grains are routinely seen dumped in villages and major cities during the peak of harvest. Therefore it is necessary that these grains are properly dried and stored to ensure availability and wholesomeness throughout the year. Advancements have taken place in the practice of drying since the first world war. Manufacturing methods have greatly improved production rate and the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,720 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdsorption of Methylene Blue from Aqueous Solution onto a Low-Cost Natural Jordanian TripoliAtef S. ALzaydienProblem statement: It is well documented that lead is one of contaminants of industrial wastewaters and its pollution exists in the wastewater of many industries. As a result, recent research has focused on the development of cost effective alternatives using various natural sources and industrial wastes. In this setting, the use of low-cost agricultural materials, waste and residues for recovering … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,945 accessesView PDF Cite
