This paper describes development of an inverse building model and its application in studying the performance of a demand-limiting (DL) control strategy. The demand-limiting strategy involves precooling (PC) a building during unoccupied times, maintaining the zone temperature setpoints at the lower limit of comfort during off-peak, occupied periods, and then limiting the peak cooling rate to a ...

Full utilization of multispectral data acquired by whiskbroom and pushbroom imagers requires that the individual channels be registered accurately. Poor registration introduces errors which can be signiicant, especially in high contrast areas such as boundaries between regions. We simulate the acquisition of multispectral imagery in order to estimate the errors that are introduced by co-registr...

Drivable free space information is vital for autonomous vehicles that have to plan evasive maneuvers in realtime. In this paper, we present a new efficient method for environmental free space detection with laser scanner based on 2D occupancy grid maps (OGM) to be used for Advanced Driving Assistance Systems (ADAS) and Collision Avoidance Systems (CAS). Firstly, we introduce an enhanced inverse...

In this study, we introduce a novel generalization of triple integral transforms, which is called general transform. We present the definition new approach and prove main properties related to existence, uniqueness, shifting, scaling, inverse. Moreover, relations between transform other transforms are presented, results partial derivatives convolution theorem established. apply solve some appli...

a field study was undertaken with four farming systems (fs) such as; grasses and fodders, agro-forestry, agriculture (new farming systems) and shifting cultivation (old practice), to investigate the effect of land use on the soil properties, erosion and crop productivity on a loamy acidic alfisol. besides crops, the livestock were also kept and their dropping were incorporated in the respective...
