Heating and cooling systems in buildings account for 31% of global energy use, much which are regulated by Rule Based Controllers (RBCs) that neither maximise efficiency nor minimise emissions interacting optimally with the grid. Control via Reinforcement Learning (RL) has been shown to significantly improve building efficiency, but existing solutions require access building-specific simulators...

Research on the problems of creating effective control and diagnostic systems allows us to single out following areas: development theory methods for diagnosing predicting strength reliability structures, theoretical experimental studies fracture processes, corresponding changes in characteristics parameters, i.e., carriers information about processes occurring material during destruction; crea...

As a general rule, emission factors and emission inventories are fundamental tools for air quality management. Emission estimates are important for developing emission control strategies, determining applicability of permitting and control programs, evaluating the feasibility and the effects of appropriate mitigation strategies, and a number of other related applications by different users, inc...

In the past decade, fuel consumption and CO2 emission have increased in the airline industry. Large CO2 footprint has a damaging effect on the environment. Global concerns over this issue has made the airline industry to be greener. Most efforts of the green airline industry are improving the fuel consumption to reduce the CO2 emission and its environmental damage. Here, we use cruise speed con...
