Building heating and cooling accounts for nearly 18-24% of all energy usage. Building energy management can reduce both its operating costs and its carbon footprint. We propose the use of a factored Partially Observable Markov Decision Process (POMDP) to model and efficiently control a commercial building heating system. We use supervised learning and ground truth data to capture the parameters...

An extremely important issue in quality management is monitoring and diagnosing processes, and, subsequently, supervising them using so-called control charts. In typical production charts with constant parameters are commonly used, such as x-R, x-s, CUSUM, EWMA others, which, most cases, effective tools for process stability evaluation. Charts considered untypical (in statistical control) those...

the present paper was aimed to study the effects of variable thermal conductivity and heat generation on the flow of a viscous incompressible electrically conducting fluid in the presence of a uniform transverse magnetic field, thermal radiation, porous medium, mass transfer, and variable free stream near a stagnation point on a non-conducting stretching sheet. equations of continuity, momentum...
