Automated fenestration allocation as complying with LEED rating system

Building information modeling for sustainable design and LEED rating analysis

a r t i c l e i n f o Green building rating systems Building performance analyses Today, there is a high level of demand for sustainable buildings. The most important decisions regarding a building's sustainable features are made during the design and preconstruction stages. Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED ®) is the most widely adopted sustainable building rating system in t...

Collaborative Rating Allocation

This paper studies the collaborative rating allocation problem, in which each user has limited ratings on all items. These users are termed “energy limited”. Different from existing methods which treat each rating independently, we investigate the geometric properties of a user’s rating vector, and design a matrix completion method on the simplex. In this method, a user’s rating vector is estim...

Lutetium-177 DOTATATE Production with an Automated Radiopharmaceutical Synthesis System

Objective(s): Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy (PRRT) with yttrium-90 (90Y) and lutetium-177 (177Lu)-labelled SST analogues are now therapy option for patients who have failed to respond to conventional medical therapy. In-house production with automated PRRT synthesis systems have clear advantages over manual methods resulting in increasing use in hospital-based radiopharmacies. We report...

Automated Determination of Complex Surface Structures by LEED

Automated Rating Of ESL Essays

To date, traditional NLP parsers have not been widely successful in TESOLoriented applications, particularly in scoring written compositions. Re-engineering such applications to provide the necessary robustness for handling ungrammatical English has proven a formidable obstacle. We discuss the use of a nontraditional parser for rating compositions that attenuates some of these difficulties. Its...
