Public charging station occupancy prediction plays key importance in developing a smart strategy to reduce electric vehicle (EV) operator and user inconvenience. However, existing studies are mainly based on conventional econometric or time series methodologies with limited accuracy. We propose new mixed long short-term memory neural network incorporating both historical state sequences time-re...

• Significant correlations between age group and performance for FRs (r=0.55, p<0.001) and PDDs (r=0.56, p<0.001). 2. Truth-Value Judgment Task Methods •Participants: 4yo (18), 5yo (17), 6yo (19), 7yo (11). •Participants were told: “Cookie Monster really likes cookies, but he does NOT like onions.” They were shown pictures of (i) plates of cookies, (ii) onions, or (iii) both cookies and onions....

A method of local modeling for predicting time series generated by nonlinear dynamic systems is proposed that incorporates a weighted Euclidean metric and a novel -steps ahead crossvalidation error to assess model accuracy. The tradeo between the cost of computation and model accuracy is discussed in the context of optimizing model parameters. A fast nearest neighbor algorithm and a novel modi ...

This paper presents a stable, nonlinear, adaptive control scheme for building heating and cooling systems. The proposed controller utilizes the principle of adaptive one step ahead control and aims at reducing the energy consumed for heating or cooling a building. The design steps are discussed in details and a proof of global stability is also provided. Also, the performance of the proposed co...

The task of 3D physical design is to map a circuit from a netlist (structural) representation into a geometric (physical) representation according to a specific 3D IC technology with multiple active device layers. This paper discusses the recent progress made on the major steps in 3D physical design, including 3D floorplanning, 3D placement, 3D routing and thermal through-silicon via (TS via) p...

Logarithmic curve interpolation is essential for precise machining conical cutters with constant rake and spiral angle in CNC machine. In this paper, a novel odd-even steps third order approach algorithm is presented to realize the logarithmic interpolation. In each interpolating cycle there are odd and even steps divided. At the odd step, the interpolating point moves in tangent direction for ...
