Learned vs. engineered features for fine-grained classification of aquatic macroinvertebrates
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Aquatic macroinvertebrate biomonitoring is an efficient way of assessment of slow and subtle anthropogenic changes and their effect on water quality. It is imperative to have reliable identification and counts of the various ...
Charactertistics of preferred gait patterns: Considerations for exercise prescription
(
Nova Science Publishers, Inc.
, 2016 , Book chapter)
Gait patterns have been widely studied in different fields of science for their particular characteristics. A dynamic approach of human locomotion considers walking and running as two stable behaviours adopted spontaneously ...
Effect of blade tip geometry on centrifugal compressor performance and stability
(
Medwell Journals
, 2016 , Article)
The reliability operation for small fuel cells and hybrid fuel cell with gas turbine requires centrifugal compressor surge prevention. This study concerns a high speed centrifugal compressor stage with different blade tip ...
Study on thermal adaptation in naturally ventilated office buildings in Japan
(
NCEUB 2016
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
This paper discusses the relationship between thermal environment and adaptive thermal comfort in Japanese office buildings of Japan where occupants are able to open the windows. With the use of adaptive thermal control ...
Adolescents surveillance system for obesity in Europe. A pioneering project to prevent obesity in Italy using E-technology: The ASSO* project * adolescence surveillance system for obesity prevention
(
IADIS
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Adolescents' obesity is a major concern in our modern life; it could lead to significant increase in the rate of obese in the future generations and consequently the health budget. The ASSO Project in Italy (Adolescence ...
A comparative analysis of thermal acceptability in offices in India and Japan
(
NCEUB 2016
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
India's building energy consumption is increasing rapidly. Fukushima disaster reshaped Japan's energy perspective. Adaptive comfort standards need to be developed for these countries. We conducted a fourteen-month thermal ...
Mitogenomics of the extinct cave lion, Panthera spelaea (Goldfuss, 1810), resolve its position within the panthera cats
(
Ubiquity Press
, 2016 , Article)
The extinct cave lion (Panthera spelaea) was an apex predator of the Pleistocene, and one of the largest felid species ever to exist. We report the first mitochondrial genome sequences for this species, derived from two ...
Ordered mesoporous silica/polyvinylidene fluoride composite membranes for effective removal of water contaminants
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2016 , Article)
A facile one-step immersion co-precipitation method has been developed to fabricate an inorganic-organic composite membrane with three-dimensionally (3D) interpenetrating porous structures via incorporating ordered mesoporous ...
Hierarchical ordered macro/mesoporous titania with a highly interconnected porous structure for efficient photocatalysis
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2016 , Article)
In this study, a 3-dimensional interconnected hierarchical ordered macro/mesoporous titania (HOPT) with thin walls, crystalline framework, large cavities (?420 nm), uniform mesopores (3.7 nm) and high surface area (177 m2 ...
Chelation-assisted soft-template synthesis of ordered mesoporous zinc oxides for low concentration gas sensing
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2016 , Article)
Semiconductor zinc oxides with a high surface area and porosity offer great potential for their widespread applications, particularly in the areas of optoelectronic devices and solid-state gas sensors owing to their ...
