The Calculation of Perceived Residential Density

Calculation of noise in residential environments

The DEFRA funded project “Human Response to Vibration in Residential Environments” investigates relationships between human response in residential areas, primarily in terms of annoyance, and combined effects from exposure to vibration and noise. This paper focuses on the results from the analysis of noise exposure in this study, in particular from construction work and railway traffic. The exp...

An online residential cooling load calculation program

This paper presents an online interactive program and how it can benefit students of engineering and architecture in the learning of residential cooling load calculation. This program is also helpful in the training of professional engineers and architects in the basic load calculations. It can be used as a stand-alone teaching aid or an add-on component for any online course dealing with air-c...

Approximate Utility Under Perceptual Restrictions

If agents have perceptual limits, and cannot distinguish objects that are sufficiently similar, then immediate problems arise with this notion of rationality. For example, Mas-Colell, Whinston, and Green (1995) provide an example of an agent with limited visual perception, who cannot distinguish a white object from a gray one. Because preferences are assumed to be complete, and because the two ...

Parameter estimation under orthant restrictions

The authors consider the estimation of linear functions of a multivariate parameter under orthant restrictions. These restrictions are considered both for location models and for the Poisson distribution. For these models, situations are characterized for which the restricted maximum likelihood estimator dominates the unrestricted one for the estimation of any linear function of the parameter. ...
